    @DanBilzerian

    I just want to clear up some confusion on my current antisemite of the year race.

    @Byoussef is disqualified as he’s probably the only real Semite on the list.

    @RealCandaceO said Frankists.

    If @NickJFuentes was on the list, I would have to concede out of respect as he OG of this.

    Given my competition @jakeshieldsajj and @GretaThunberg are the only contenders.

    I’ve pissed off more jews than Jake and Greta combined so, the victor is clear.

    I will be the antisemite of the year.

    Australia has become the first country in the world to ban social media for children under 16 after the Albanese government’s legislation passed the Senate late last night.

    Was the real purpose intended to help children? Shouldn’t it be left to parents to monitor and restrict social media usage?

    Israeli forces have again bombed the so-called “safe zone” in Gaza’s al-Mawasi, killing at least 21 people and wounding dozens more, according to Atif Al-Hout, the director of the Nasser Hospital in nearby Khan Younis. Our correspondents say women and children were “incinerated” in the attack.

    Human rights group Amnesty International says in a damning new report that Israel’s war on Gaza meets the legal threshold for genocide.

    Looking through the news of the past week. What are the items that should be taken up for discussion? Or at least shared here?

    I am wondering what topics I should post on.

    – Is it world news or national news?
    – The continuing war in Gaza? Or the additional wars in the Middle East?
    – The world on the brink of WW3?
    – The sham new Admin being set up in the US?
    – The Ukraine war?
    – The MSM, the fake Alternative media?
    – Or any of several other topics?

    There are many questions to be asked and scepticism is useful, unless one is blindly following the media narrative.

    During Covidemic, as Prez 45, he pushed the vaxx.

    For the four years after, he still claimed the vaxx saved lives and moaned that he was not given enough credit for it.

    The same tune continues with his picks for his new admin. Warp Speed saved lives. Dr. Janette Nesheiwat advocated for lockdowns, masking, booster shots, supported censorship of anti-vaxx info. According to her: Vaccines “safe & effective”, “keeps you off a ventilator”, “keeps you from passing away”, “the unvaccinated are dying”

    In March, he posted about how “the Vaccines that saved us from Covid are now being used to help beat cancer.”

    Thank you, kaysee, for seeing – or acknowledging – what others don’t, or don’t want to: that the supposed saviours of the incoming regime are among those who advocated putting innocent, healthy people under house arrest for no good reason (an experience from which those who were ‘awake’ and ‘aware’ of what was really going on may still be recovering), or who spoke out against ‘lockdowns’ but supported mandatory ‘experimental’ injections, or who demurred at mandatory injections…except in the case the elderly, or disabled…and so on.

    We should condemn violence, especially when it affects the innocent. Vandalism, arson, fire-bombing or similar attacks should be denounced.

    There’s been news these past weeks about some vandalism taking place in a part of Sydney. Then about some firebombing of a place of worship in Melbourne. This is not acceptable and those responsible should be punished. But, as I suggested in my comment here, I am questioning the news until there are enough facts.

    But is the value of human life – safety and security – only apply to those who live in the western world?
    Does the safety of places of public worship only matter in western countries?
    Is the destruction of property and vandalism only important when it happens in some parts of the world?

    The SMH

    Naturally, many people presumed the perpetrators were motivated by opposition to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. As of now, though, we have only suspicions, not evidence. At the time of writing, police have not identified any suspects or made any arrests. We don’t know what the attackers’ motivations were and whether they have been influenced by the Albanese government’s actions.

    We have plenty of examples of the “respect” for human life if it is Palestinians.

    There are examples of vandalism and the destruction of Palestinian property.

    As for places of public worship, these are a few links just relating to Gaza. It is not a complete list. Add to it Syria and Lebanon, and there’ll be more.

    This is the problem, isn’t it. We know we can’t trust the ‘news’ as presented to us. Anyone who doesn’t know this hasn’t been paying attention. We know that they fake things to get a result.

    They told us – battering us daily, for months, with fearmongering propaganda – that there was a deadly virus, and that we needed to accept a poison injection, to protect other people if not ourselves. It was all lies. And, in lying, they killed and maimed our family and friends. Worse than the worst of fairytales. And yet we’re to trust them now – on anything? …because people need hope. (Like hope in ‘lockdowns’, hope in ‘vaccines’.)

    Forgive my naïveté, but I don’t understand why criticism of the (warring) actions of a foreign state must be equated with criticism or even hatred of its citizens – ‘ordinary people’. If some foreigners expressed hatred of Australia – as in the Australian government, in relation to, hypothetically, for instance, its involvement in the killing of innocent civilians – I would not take it personally. On the contrary, I might sympathise. I might relate it back to the Covid experience, for example.

    When we get into a habit of not blindly accepting “the news”, of asking questions (if only to ourselves), of being sceptical and considering other possibilities, it is easy not to fall for the propaganda.

    Some highlights

    The Syria Deception: The West’s Dirty War That Toppled Assad and Doomed Christians

    Nation First provides in-depth analysis of Syria’s collapse, uncovering the globalist schemes, foreign meddling, and dire consequences for persecuted Christians.

    Dear friend,

    On December 8, 2024, the Syrian government fell in what can only be described as an engineered collapse. Bashar al-Assad, who held Syria together through years of war, fled to Russia as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)—a rebranded Al-Qaeda front—seized Damascus. But make no mistake: this wasn’t the result of some grassroots revolution. This was an operation orchestrated by globalists, with the United States, Israel, and Turkey at the helm, cheered on by the sycophantic Western media.

    What’s worse, this disaster has left Syria’s ancient Christian communities in grave danger. And all the while, the same people who brought us this chaos have the gall to pretend they’re champions of freedom and democracy. …

    The Truth Behind Assad’s Fall

    HTS’s sudden rise wasn’t a fluke. It was years in the making. Billions of dollars poured into arming and training “rebels” under CIA programs like Operation Timber Sycamore. Let’s not forget: this wasn’t about democracy; it was about removing a leader who dared to oppose the globalist agenda. Assad’s real crime? Refusing to play along with Western energy pipelines and protecting Syria’s sovereignty.

    Leaked documents tell the story. A 2012 memo from the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency admitted that “The Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI [Al-Qaeda in Iraq] are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria.” They knew exactly who they were arming. Even Jake Sullivan, now Biden’s national security advisor, wrote to Hillary Clinton, “AQ is on our side in Syria.” These globalists didn’t care that they were enabling terrorists; they only cared about taking down Assad. …

    Israel and Turkey’s Dirty Roles

    Israel and Turkey didn’t sit on the sidelines. Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu openly boasted that Assad’s fall was “a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah.” For years, Israel has treated wounded Al-Nusra Front fighters in its hospitals, armed so-called rebels, and launched hundreds of airstrikes inside Syria. This isn’t about defending Israel; it’s about weakening Iran at any cost—even if that means empowering terrorists.

    Turkey, meanwhile, gave HTS the green light for its advance on Aleppo, prioritising its war on the Kurds over Syria’s stability. Ankara has been playing both sides for years, but its support for HTS shows its true colours. Erdoğan’s ambition to expand Turkish influence has turned Syria into his personal chessboard.

    HTS: Terrorists in Disguise

    The media want you to believe HTS is some kind of moderate opposition group. Don’t buy it. Their leader, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, was Al-Qaeda’s top man in Syria. He didn’t suddenly change because his group got a new name. HTS is enforcing Sharia law, targeting minorities, and silencing dissent. Yet the media has whitewashed them to justify years of intervention.

    This group’s rise is a direct result of the U.S.’s reckless policies. The Obama-era “red line” debacle—where Assad was threatened but nothing was done—paved the way for Russia to step in, and now, with Russia bogged down in Ukraine, the globalists are making their final move. …

    Syria’s Christians: Betrayed Again

    Under Assad, Syria’s Christians had some protection. Now, they’re on their own. Reports from Aleppo describe vandalised churches, fleeing families, and targeted violence. Aid groups are warning of a humanitarian catastrophe. This isn’t a one-off. We’ve seen it before in Iraq, where the Christian population has nearly been wiped out since the U.S. invasion.

    Trump and leaders like Senator Rand Paul have raised alarms about this pattern. Paul said it plainly: “All of a sudden we’ll have another Islamic state where Christians are persecuted.” That’s exactly what’s happening in Syria. …

    Conclusion: The Globalists’ Manufactured Tragedy

    The fall of Assad isn’t a win for freedom—it’s a manufactured tragedy. The U.S., Israel, and Turkey orchestrated this collapse to serve their interests, leaving Syria in ruins and Christians in peril. HTS, a group of jihadist thugs, now rules Damascus. And the media? They’re complicit in the lies.

    This is what interventionism looks like: chaos, destruction, and betrayal. It’s time to wake up, speak out, and demand accountability. If we don’t, Syria won’t be the last victim of this globalist game.

    Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.

    Take care,

    George Christensen, with a Nation First staff writer
