    Julian Assange boards flight at London Stansted Airport

    My plane landed in DC & I just heard Julian Assange will soon be free due to a deal.

    His liberation is great news, but it’s a travesty that he’s already spent so much time in jail.

    Obama, Trump, & Biden should have never pursued this prosecution.

    I am not here because I am lonely, bored, want social company, attention, popularity or accolades. If we weren’t facing a serious crisis in the country and the world, I would have preferred to spend my free time doing other things – like curling up in a comfy chair with a good book.

    I am here posting on this blog because I am concerned about what is happening, because I want to fight against the evil doers, because I want to save this country from going downhill, because I want the next generation to also be able to enjoy freedom, because I want to join other fighters all over the world, and here in Australia, in exposing the Weffers, corrupt pollies, crooks, unelected organisations and self-appointed world czars making decisions for the rest of us, mere peasants.

    I want to be a part of those who are doing their share to save the world from the autocrats and their minions and stooges. To be part of those who are trying to learn what vile schemes are underway and warn readers about it. To awaken others so they know who are the real good guys who we should trust and elect to be our leaders and govern us. To get the public to wake up, unite and kick out the despots who are trying to establish a new world order.

    In your comment, Rossini, you refer to performers and spectators.
    I see it differently. This blog is not a theatre where patrons pay to come and watch the show on the stage put up by paid actors. This is real life. We either decide to join in and unite, or sit on the fence and watch. In comments over this weekend (A-5, A-6), I have shared my own transition from lurker to poster.

    Lurking, watching, passivity, apathy is a far easier and more comfortable path. We can, as citizens of this country and the world, decide which way we want to proceed.

    Do you want to be one who participates or one who watches?

    During Covid many people had experiences like losing jobs, not able to see family members during lockdowns, lost loved ones due to the vaxx or suffered vaxx injuries. There are medical professionals who took the risks to speak up. Some of these people are now on a mission and are testifying or sharing experiences. They are not doing it for personal gain – they are doing it for you and for me, and to prevent this happening again.

    I have come across several people online, from all over the world, who have joined the battle against the tyrants. Because of their efforts, their testimonies, their protests, it is difficult for governments and the WEF to implement their new world order. I look at these other fighters and I cannot sit back and leave others to fight for my rights and my freedoms. So I have joined in.

    I come here and share what I am learning elsewhere. If some of you, as readers of this blog, feel the same need to take part in the battle as a participant because you care about what is being done by our enemies, you will not see yourself as someone coming in to watch a show, but rather as someone willing to roll up your sleeves, pick up your writing weapons and get involved in sharing and discussions.

    It isn’t difficult.
    You don’t have to write comments in someone else’s style – use your own.

    I have often heard this expression from some that they don’t post because they don’t have anything to say. I have shared examples of my own experiences in previous comments. Here is another.

    In the mornings, I am busy but have the radio on so I can listen to the news and the talkback shows. Often, I hear something in the news or that a caller says and I want to respond. But that means I have to stop my work, pick up the phone and dial the station. If it is a busy signal, keep trying till I get through. Then it is a further wait until it is my turn.

    Not for me. I don’t have the time.

    But this blog is 24/7. I can come in any time that’s convenient for me and post comments. I don’t have to keep phoning to get through or wait in a queue for my turn. Sometimes I am sitting here typing a comment and remember something I need to do. I get up and go do it. Come back and continue.

    If you want to join our battle here, you can find something from the news: while you are watching TV, listening to the radio or reading the newspaper. Jot a note of something that has been reported that you support or disagree. Then type that up and post as a comment.

    When you stop being passive and begin to actively notice what is taking place and what is wrong, unfair or bad, you’ll find so much in the news that needs to be shared with the public.

    There is a lot of chatter about feral cat predation in Australia – cats have been eliminated from small islands but Kangaroo Island has launched their own ambitious project to have a cat free Island.
    Some 10 years or so ago, the Council introduced a by-law that domestic cats must be desexed, microchipped and confined to the owner’s property with an annual Council fee – cat breeders are charged $1000 per breeding cat. The cat population descended from farm cats left behind when farms were sold or abandoned.
    Enforcement has been difficult – litters of kittens were frequently dumped as somebody else’s problem. However gradual tightening of enforcement, policing of any advertisements for free kittens and trapping have been supported by public opinion.
    The feral cat trapping program is financed by agricultural groups – cats are the vector for toxoplasmosis spread by cats urinating on grass which is consumed by sheep, downgrading the slaughter value.
    The local Council has been very careful not to antagonise cat owners. Domestic cats trapped are returned to owners if microchipped and advertised on social media for collection if obviously tame.
    In the current trapping program covering 8% of Kangaroo Island, 187 feral cats have been trapped in 6 weeks. There is now a sophisticated beacon signal when traps are triggered, saving monitoring time. Landholders are also able to place traps using the same system.
    Whether Kangaroo Island can ever become a cat free zone is a difficult question. Prohibition would lead to cat owners unable to have their cats desexed or receive veterinary treatment.
    Residents with cat enclosures would become targets for cat hating neighbours.
    Kangaroo Island has an interesting history of biological control with rabbits (early introductions were consumed by goannas), no foxes, oldest bee sanctuary in the world and programs to eliminate feral peacocks, deer and at one time a ban on Alsatian dogs (overturned by a pugnacious ratepayer).
    An interesting sidelight to the cat trapping program is that barn owls are being encouraged by placing of nest boxes – the owls can take 20 mice in one night.

    Conservatives, Trump and Assange

    The real Conservatives are glad that Assange is free but angry that he had to plead guilty for that. This can be debated but the news is that he has serious health problems and without this he would die in prison. The Free Speech advocates in the US, Australia and around the world can take this up and ask the hard questions.

    But check out the fake conservatives and free speech supporters.

    And Charlie Kirk, the Maga super-influencer
    (today)

    Julian Assange has reached a deal to plead guilty to a single charge of disseminating national security material, in return for his immediate release.

    Absolutely ridiculous that DC’s intelligence cabal took away a decade of Assange’s life because he made them look bad. President Trump should make sure this charge is expunged — and then expunge the deep state parasites themselves.

    I’ve seen responses from many that somehow Maga and Trump will spin this around to the release taking place because the Donald promised it. Just like all his other promises about the great things he will be doing for America.

    Maga won’t ask why Trump didn’t do it when he was Prez.

    Genuine TDS sufferers (“Trump Devotion Syndrome”) dismiss any critical observation about Trump, no matter how substantive, as frivolous or petty — like it’s just about his manner of speech or style.

    Trump should have pardoned Julian Assange.

    Wikileaks probably won him the election in 2016 by publishing Hillary Clinton’s emails.

    Instead, Trump pardoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard at the behest of Israel-First megadonor Sheldon Adelson. PRIORITIES!

    Around 3 years ago, I began to observe some aspects of Trump’s behaviour and actions that put me off. That began to build up, and I realised that I could not keep supporting him. However, all the Conservative sites and media personalities continued to acclaim Trump as a hero. In the past year, with the war in Gaza, the same sites seem to be supporting the Zionist cause, too.

    It is as if the so-called “conservative” world is on a different path from mine. On the topics like climate change, Covid, woke issues, DEI and so on, I am on common ground with them. But for two major issues, we are on opposite sides.

    I now consider this same conservative media, turned into Con Inc Media, supporters of two major scamming cults. They seemed to be two separate issues, but now the link between them is clearer.

    1/ Trump-Maga cult
    2/ Pro-Israel Zionist cult.

    I haven’t come across any Conservative sites that have been prepared to call out the facts on those two scams. There may be some sites – but I haven’t seen them. But there are some social media accounts that are speaking out and, especially with Twitter, there has been a glimmer of hope with getting the real news posted and read. But even social media has limitations with censorship – I’ll get back to that point another day.

    Because this blog is Free Speech and not dependent on donors (at least, so far), we can say anything – as long as we follow the blog rules of respect. Our blog is a small one, but it offers us the opportunity to spread the truth. For this reason, I have focussed on the above scams and thought that putting them together in a way that would make it easy to find information was important.

    I decided to use this platform to share info about these cults by way of special threads:
    The US Elections 2024 and the War in Gaza.

    If you come across anyone who probably gets their news from limited sources, you could give them the links to these threads, and then they can find their way from there as it will lead them to other links.

    If you need to discuss or debate these topics with anyone, you will find a ton of info. It is not just opinions but there are links to several sources, videos, articles to provide the evidence.

    Here are the threads with their links.

    Writing most blog posts involves a lot of background toil before they can be published. But these two threads – the US Election and the Israeli-Palestine conflict – have been intensive work. I gathered info and saved it. I researched as much as possible (by the way, research is not opening up Google, typing a few words, picking the first few links that Google has decided you should read. There are many other search engines and different ways to go digging for info as mentioned here).

    The additional problem was that just when I thought I had the info ready to post, there was more coming in each day that I could not ignore. Then I had to organise what I had into logical sections, recheck and test links to see if they were still active or not, and then get down to posting.

    It felt like a sigh of relief when I was able to close of the US Election thread. Then another bigger sigh with the completion of the Israeli-Palestine conflict thread.

    My head is buzzing with so many topics for new articles to write on the blog, but it involves research and writing. I don’t mind the work involved in getting the post published.
    But I have another problem.
    🕗
    There’s just 24 hours in a day and so much to do.

    I have reached the stage of exhaustion. Only those who are serious bloggers will understand what I mean by it. I am now drained and need a break. From next month, I also have some personal work that needs to be attended to. I will continue to come in and post, but at a lower pace, till I am able to get my other personal tasks done.

    If no one else is interested in this blog, may be it has run its course and it is time for it to fold. I would consider it sad if this site should have to shut down because it lacks contributors. But blogging takes up time and it is not a sustainable situation for just two commenters to carry the blog, especially as it involves serious and in-depth news stories, videos, articles and other links. Maybe if we had stuck to the safe “conservative” topics and chatter, we may have had more posters. But then it would be pointless for time-poor people to spend their time here.

    If there are some of you who value this blog in its current format and the content that is shared here, I hope you will step in and make some effort to post comments to keep this blog continuing to stay online.

    Julian Assange is a free man and on his way to Australia. The private charter is estimated to land in Canberra just before 8pm AEST.

    This is the crowdfunder appeal for Julian Assange

    Julian Assange has embarked on flight VJT199 to Saipan. If all goes well it will bring him to freedom in Australia. But the flight comes at enormous cost: Julian will owe USD 520,000 which he is obligated to pay back to the Australian government for the charter flight to Saipan and onward to Australia.

    In addition, and after 14 years of detention, including five years in maximum security prison, Julian’s health is in dire need of recovery. We are launching an emergency appeal to seek donations to help him cover the flight debt and substantial funds to ensure his recovery and well-being and safety upon his arrival.

    Every contribution counts.

    Rolling Stone, via Chris Menahan

    Progressive Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman has been ousted from his New York Congressional seat after a contentious primary soaked in special interest money.

    Democratic Westchester County Executive George Latimer secured the first victory in the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) $100 million effort to oust progressive lawmakers critical of Israel’s ongoing military siege against Palestinians in Gaza. The Associated Press called the race just before 9:45 p.m. E.T.

    The race between Bowman and Latimer was the most expensive in the history of the House of Representatives, with AIPAC pouring $14 million into New York’s 16th Congressional District. The candidates and their backers spent a combined total of $23 million on advertising alone.

    Bowman felt that he wasn’t running a race against Latimer, but rather battling against powerful interest groups seeking to oust him and his closest colleagues over their criticism of Israel. The congressman recently told Rolling Stone that “this race against AIPAC is a really good litmus test as it relates to that, because [they’re] a big-money lobby [that’s] spending more money in this race than has ever been spent in primary history. They’re doing that because they do not want a progressive agenda to move forward.”

    In the aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against Israel, Bowman was one of the first and most vocal advocates in Congress for a permanent ceasefire. The congressman drew widespread criticism for casting doubt on reports of mass beheadings of infants by Hamas and the alleged systematic rape of Israeli women during the Oct. 7 attacks as Israeli “propaganda.” While Bowman later said that he “regretted” the statements, the sourcing behind the claims remains dubious.

    Assange to Albanese: ‘You saved my life’
    By James Massola

    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told a press conference in Canberra on Wednesday he spoke to Julian Assange moments after his plane touched down.

    The pair had never spoken before – although the prime minister has been a consistent advocate for the Australian for years – and Assange told Albanese: “You saved my life.”

    Albanese said Assange was deeply grateful for the help he had received from the federal government and from US ambassador Kevin Rudd and UK high commissioner Stephen Smith.

    “Can I say that when I spoke with Mr Assange tonight, he described it as a surreal and happy moment. He’s landing here in our national capital, Canberra.

    “He expressed his thanks to what he described as the diplomatic A-Team, when I spoke about the role that Kevin and Stephen have been able to play.”

    Where do you look for news articles if you want to take part in a blog that is mostly posting news content?

    There are many, many sources of news. To get a broad perspective, I try to check out different sites: left wing, right wing, mainstream, alternative, social media. Sometimes, you get the facts easily. Other times, the news may turn out to be partly true or even fake.

    What’s important is that we keep looking, and we are prepared to seek the truth. For those who really want to take part in the news-sharing effort, here on this blog, I have created a new Page in our CatWiki called News Sites. It is not a complete list of sites – just a few of them.

    For some sites it is about sales and ad revenue, so some of the items that pass as “news” are just clickbait and sensational content which are time-wasters, so best avoided. If you want to join in, check out some of the links and share some news or topics from there that would be of interest to readers here.

    The easiest way to find the link is in the sidebar, just above the list of Recent Comments. I don’t have the time to check out all these websites, everyday, so there are news items that I miss out on. It would be great to be able to read the thread and find these topics shared here.

    Today, Assange has had his first day of freedom in Australia. On that subject, I will link up, Rossini, to your question yesterday.

    If Trump was living as a private citizen, living the rest of his life playing golf on his private estate, I would not have spent countless hours writing about him. It isn’t some personal vendetta. Here is a man who lacks the qualities necessary to be the mayor of a small town, yet wants to run again as the President of the United States, and by extension, a leader of the free world. A role he previously held and failed to keep most of his promises.

    I have provided objective analysis and evidence to prove the above in four threads related to the election, as well as the Open Threads. The purpose of putting together all this information was to help those who only read the pro-Trump Con Inc Media to be able to get the facts. Despite all that proof, if readers still want to worship Trump as the saviour of the United States and the Free World, they can continue to do so.

    I’ll take up here what has been referred to only briefly prior to this week, on this blog:
    Trump and Julian Assange

    Upthread, on Tuesday, I posted comments related to Assange from Thomas Massie (top of the thread), as well as two comments starting here.

    Tucker Carlson on the Julian Assange Case

    “Anybody who knows anything about that case and believes that Assange should still be in prison is your enemy, by the way, and the enemy of human freedom and flourishing.”

    Marjorie Taylor Greene

    I don’t like the way our government has conducted itself for decades now when it comes to foreign policy, foreign wars, and regime change.

    Julian revealed the secrets the Deep State never wanted to see the light of day and that’s why they came after him.

    If an American citizen had been imprisoned in Australia for similar reasons, the US government would have done everything to get their citizen back to the US. And they would have succeeded. Yet Assange, an Australian citizen, was held in prison on the whim of the US government.

    Trump will claim to be a supporter of Free Speech – the first amendment. He certainly uses his right to the extreme limits, including to insult everyone who do not bow to him.

    Magadonians are rejoicing over the release of Assange. Some saying that he was in prison for too long – a decade. Even high profile people like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene are critical of Assange’s imprisonment.

    How come none of these pro-Trump, pro-Maga campers are not asking this question:
    Assange was in prison for a decade – and during this time, Trump was President for FOUR years. Why did Trump not release him then?

    They want to blame the US government and the various department bodies, but no one is prepared to ask – except for some like Massie – why Trump, this great advocate of freedom and free speech did not get Assange released when he was President of the US.

    Why not?

    Magadonians will find excuses for their hero:

    – He had bad advisers
    Good leaders will surround themselves with the best advisers not sycophants. If Trump could not choose advisers wisely, that is a serious flaw.

    – The CIA /DOJ /FBI/ Congress/ etc etc etc did not allow him to do it.
    But didn’t he promise to take on the Deep State and drain the swamp?

    – He was going to release Assange if elected this November.
    No. This is the same Trump who didn’t keep promises the first time round.

    Trump is a campaigner, an entertainer, a chatterer.
    When it comes to the hard work of getting things done, he will take the easy way out. Then, he will blame others for it. It is never his fault. Always someone else’s.

    Yet, he is able to so easily con his Magadonians. On his behalf, they will blame everyone else.

    Trump’s role in the Assange case:

    Trump-1

    FLASHBACK: Julian Assange’s lawyer argued in UK court that Assange was the victim of a political prosecution by Donald Trump himself. The only thing that changed which led to a revival of a dormant case against him was “President Trump came to power,” Assange’s lawyer said

    Assange’s team presented evidence that Ric Grenell, then Trump’s Ambassador to Germany, acted on “direct orders from the president” to get Assange evicted from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London

    Trump-2

    If you think Mike Pompeo, Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, Ric Grenell, etc. launched a crusade against Assange in defiance of Trump, you may be suffering from TDS (Trump Devotion Syndrome.) One symptom is always pretending the problem is the baddies around Trump — never Trump himself

    Trump-3

    It was the Trump administration that charged Julian Assange under the Espionage Act.

    The amount of ignorance around this topic is stunning.

    There are people who say things like “I don’t like Trump but I’ll vote for him because I want to free Assange”

    My judgement and analysis is based on facts. In these past few days, I have come across discussions about Assange which I have been following.

    I decided to take up your question and provide my answer by way of the evidence that other people, including those with media backgrounds, have shared.

    Everyone who cares about free speech and the rights of journalists – whether a Trump supporter or not – should be querying Trump’s role in the arrest of Assange.

    ‘Welcome home, Julian Assange: don’t leak again’, warns Penny Wong

    Since October 7, Opposition frontbencher Simon Birmingham has been available, to be quoted in this paper, for anything in support of Zionism and to condemn anyone who dares to support Palestine or criticise Israel.

    He doesn’t disappoint in this article:

    – Opposition frontbencher Simon Birmingham accused the Prime Minister of a “grave error of judgment” for phoning ­Assange after he landed in Canberra on Wednesday, and the WikiLeaks founder was neither hero nor journalist as claimed.

    – Senator Birmingham said Mr Albanese should not have called Assange, and the move could undermine Australia-US ties.

    – Senator Birmingham said what Assange did was “not careful journalism … Instead, he simply published around half a million documents without having read them, curated them, checked to see if there was anything that could be damaging or risking the lives of others in there,” he said. “He simply dumped them on the internet. That is not journalism and shouldn’t be feted as such.”

    Fatima Payman has ‘strengthened’ Labor movement: unions

    All involved here are playing to their audience. I’m not sure about Payman, but the rest – the unions, Labor, Wong, Albanese Greens, are acting from self-interest.

    There is nothing controversial about Palestine, which has been a state, being recognised as one.

    Unions are backing the right of Labor MPs to cross the floor and vote against a caucus position, rebuffing claims that Labor senator Fatima Payman weakened the ­labour movement by breaking a 130-year-old tradition.

    Senator Payman joined the Greens this week to vote for Palestine to be recognised as a state, with senior Labor figures including Foreign Minister Penny Wong declaring that the decision of Anthony Albanese not to expel or suspend her showed remarkable “restraint”.

    Why do some in Labor want Payman kicked out?

    Former Labor MPs Mike Kelly and Michael Danby both argued Senator Payman should be expelled if she did not bind herself publicly to voting with the party from here on……

    Mr Kelly, a former Labor minister and now co-convener of Labor Friends of Israel….

    Mr Danby, a vocal supporter of Israel……

    Those who claim to be on the “right-wing” or “Conservative” side have a strange understanding of Freedom and Free Speech. They believe in it, and support it, only so long as those expressing their views, beliefs or opinions also support their side of an issue. If not, they’ll come swinging.

    The same ones who point the finger at the left and ridicule their Cancel Culture.

    It is surprising the take from some on the release of Julian Assange.
    So Albanese should not have spoken to Assange even though the government was involved in diplomatic discussions to secure his release?
    A short phone call to Assange is going to undermine US-Australia relations?
    If that is so that Australia is not a sovereign nation.

    There is a serious problem in the country with poverty and homelessness. But it could have been taken up any other day if the freedom of the press and journalists mattered.

    But then, Assange is not really a journalist.

    I decided not to watch it because I didn’t want to spend 90 minutes of my time on something that would not be worth it. I had heard the rules of the debate in the past week, but only yesterday, on the radio, I heard another rule was that the moderators would not be fact-checking the answers during the debate.

    So what exactly was it all about?
    They just asked questions and listened to the answers?
    That’s a debate?

    What happened on that debate stage is a major topic being discussed in the media. I’ve been reading articles, reviews, comments online. It seems Magadonians are thrilled their guy was “the winner”.

    He won a contest against a dementia patient? That’s the benchmark for victory?
    It was a debate between the two leading candidates for the role of President 47 of the US. There would be thousands of politically savvy right-wing people across the US who could have also got up on that stage opposite Joe Biden and won the debate.

    The moderators did not pick out the lies from the contestants and query those?
    They just let them pass?

    What was the purpose of the debate then?
    To find which of the two appeared to be confident, in control and did not stutter?

    1/
    Writing
    When I am writing my comments (or Posts) here, I don’t think that there are hundreds or thousands of lurker-readers coming to the blog. I imagine my readers to be a small group of intelligent people – maybe 5 or 10 or 20 or 30 – who come to this site because they know what kind of content we post and the research work that is involved to get it online.

    I speak to the few of you as I write, because I know that you will use your power of reason, logic, analysis to process what is written. We are sharing news, events, opinions of what is taking place. I know some of you because you have posted a comment to let us know that you read this blog. There may be a few others who are silently there, but still have the interest to come and read the material posted here.

    It is not an echo chamber. You can respectfully disagree and debate, if you want. You may not agree with what is posted, but what matters is having an open mind and being aware of changing situations. Esme commented about this awakening that is taking place all over the world, though we are still in the minority.

    2/
    Ego
    I leave my Ego at the door of the site before coming in.
    It is not about I, ME, MYSELF.
    We are in a great battle against the globalists, their supporters and their agenda. So I focus on that, not on my popularity, being liked or what anyone thinks of me.

    Ignore the Trolls.
    This is a Free Speech blog and it requires respect for the bloggers here. I have followed the policy of scrolling past anyone who only comes to this place to troll and disrupt.
