Publishing journalism in not a crime. Every journalist should be alert & alarmed - as the publisher #WikiLeaks’ editor #Assange is now charged for working to publish military secrets of war crimes & civilian deaths. So will editors of ABC, Guardian, Age, SMH, NYT, etc now follow?
I find no satisfaction in saying ‘I told you so’ to those who for 9 years have scorned us for warning this moment would come. I care for journalism. If you share my feeling you take a stand NOW. Either you are a worthless coward or you defend Assange, WikiLeaks and Journalism.

Setting up an enemy, to then take it down. Lemme see, has that ever happened before..? Well, there was Iraq. Ok, and then there was Afghanistan. Oh yeah, there was Syria. Oh yes, Palestine too. Is that a playbook I can see being followed…?
The Prime Minister of Qatar tells Tucker Carlson that Qatar’s ties with Hamas began years ago at the request of the U.S. government. He says every dollar flowing into Gaza is routed with the full involvement of Israel and Mossad. He is basically saying Israel is effectively

Pushing for a limited regional war with Russia, like in Ukraine, is one thing… Pushing for a wider war with Russia is quite another. “Should Europe initiate a war with us, a situation could quickly arise in which there is simply no one left for us to negotiate with.”
🇷🇺 Putin: Russia does not seek a war with Europe but is fully prepared to fight one today, and without the restraint shown in Ukraine.

We’re shovelling $50 million cash to supply new weapons to one side, in the midst of promising peace talks — Is it naivety, or conspiracy? Stupidity, or connivance? @ICAN_australia @NuclearBan

What does Australia do at the key moment when peace talks between Ukraine & Russia just might progress. Encourage concession & conciliation..? Not a chance! 👉 We are shovelling another $50 million for more weapons to Ukraine to continue the war.

Ownership and profits — surely something corporate Australia could understand. Aggressive corporate takeovers by Australia Inc are needed of multinational companies operating in Australia who pay little tax and siphon profits offshore. It’s being embraced elsewhere: “Burkina

Big Gas takes 56 per cent of our gas exports for free. Australia Institute research shows Australian nurses pay more in tax than the gas industry. How’s that fair? Sign our petition calling on the government to fix our gas export problem: https://t.co/Xe0LqlFpeH

The very, very bad news for Australia in America’s new ‘National Security Strategy’ paper needs to be pointed out. ▪️It says: America will “counter hostile and subversive influences” (China) and will “press” on allies like Australia to increase their militaries and open more US
NEW DECLASSIFIED AUSTRALIA Australia has signed up to a system where, at a moment’s notice, RAAF’s F-35 fighter jet ‘parts and components’ may be whisked off the shelves at the RAAF Williamtown Air Base in New South Wales on the whim of a foreign state to be exported to a

Capitalism doesn’t have to be cruel. See a capitalist government intervening to ensure worker payments due from a rich corporation get made to the employees. In our ‘laissez-faire land’, when wage theft occurs — think Qantas $7m, Coles $150m, ABC $23m+ — the workers are shunned
