The explosion of independent media sites isn’t merely an echo of dissenting voices – it’s a response to the MSM’s failure to provide objective, impartial reporting.

As long as we get sausages in bread every three or four years, Australians are gonna sleepwalk their way through this fascistic global push. More of you need to be more serious, sooner rather than later.

In the Trump era, this is terrifying. Apparently criticising capitalism 🥴🤣 is terrorism now in the US.

Australian Federal Police ®

The AFP has set up new National Security Investigations (NSI) teams to target groups and individuals causing high levels of harm to Australia's social cohesion.
The NSI teams will work closely with state and territory police, law enforcement and national security partners to provide a coordinated, consistent and intelligence-led response to security threats, and also work on a global level through operations, capabilities and relationships with the international law enforcement intelligence community.
There are current and emerging groups dispersed across Australia and in some cases, overseas, who are eroding our country's social fabric by advocating hatred, fear, and humiliation. While many of these crimes may not meet the threshold of terrorism, the AFP has identified concerning behaviours which could escalate to politically-motivated violence or hate crimes, which seriously put the Australian community at risk.
There is no place for hate or violence in our communities and the AFP will defend and protect Australia and Australia's future from these threats.
Anyone with information about possible threats to the community or suspicious activity should make a report to the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400. In an emergency or life-threatening situation, contact Triple

Can’t wait for this beautiful book. I’m ashamed to say I was raised by Italian parents that grew every vegetable imaginable & every Feb was tomato sauce making month but sadly I didn’t get any of my beautiful mum’s cooking talent .

Before the election when Democrats tried to warn voters Trump would implement Project 2025, mainstream journalists helped Trump pour water on these warnings, even criticising Dems for highlighting it. Now, Trump admits Project 2025 is his agenda. My analysis:
independentaustralia.net/business/bus...

Journalists taking Trump at face value are too gullible for words

Gullible journalism helped Trump turn Project 2025 into a living nightmare for America.

It’s easy to dismiss the authoritarian government & social trends happening around the West (and beyond) as distant problems. Note intolerant people in Australia are tempted by its rejection of “live and let live.” Many are in significant positions. Networking. Acting. Integrating us into it #auspol

Hastie, Canavan & Tehan will be much much worse. They will want the same Christian Nationalist Project 25 playbook for us. Someone should remind ‘Christian’ Abbot & Hastie about what Jesus thinks about welcoming strangers
