Which holocaust?

Google AI:
'Historical and archaeological theories suggest the existence of a second, now-lost, Great Sphinx at the Giza Plateau, potentially destroyed between 1000 and 1200 AD. While not formally confirmed by mainstream Egyptologists...'

Grok re Edelman:
'Martin Edelman (the New York-based real estate lawyer & advisor to UAE entities, often called Marty Edelman) is Jewish. Reliable reporting describes him as a Jewish-American lawyer born into a liberal Jewish family in New York.'

Still no Palestinians on Trump's "Board of Peace."

Iran is free in the sense that it hasn't been captured by the Transatlantic Finance Cartel.

Iran is unfree in the sense that it's ruled by an autocratic government (but if it were to loosen control, it'd be overrun by a proxy of the Cartel or of Turkey; or worse, end up like Libya).

There are extremists in every religion.

They're the ones trying to spread their religion through violence and oppression. They're the ones saying God views them more favourably than other humans.

The world needs moderates, especially today.

Australia Day - a day that should unite us - is actually dividing us.

We need a different date.

True: even if I had sources and a video, I would still question it. Because there are different figures.

Marandi says < 3,000 dead and many were Mossad agents or people (police) killed by Mossad agents. No source is apolitical.

We still don't really know how many died in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Please provide the source so we can assess both the source and details, instead of relying on your interpretation.

This is true for hardline MAGA supporters.

But many of those who voted for Trump in 2024 have now abandoned him. Their confessions are all over social media.

Just in case people are also wondering about the pets of the more than 70,000 civilians killed in Gaza...

The Enforcer is a YouTube channel. It's not a direct source of figures.
Shouldn't we be asking where it gets its figures from?

The Iranian government's security forces have estimated 30K deaths?

Did you get that info via a US-funded NGO... or just make it up?

Very hard to know the real figure... and who did most of the killings.

Hand stencils discovered in Indonesia are world's oldest-known rock art Faint ochre outlines of hands thought to be at least 67,800 years old are the oldest rock art yet discovered. Archaeologists say the discovery of the Indonesian cave art backs up estimates of when hum...

The oldest human rock art was reported this month. The hand prints in Sulawesi (Indonesia) date to at least 67,800 years ago.

The artists were probably Melanesians. Melanesians were displaced from Sulawesi by Asiatic seafarers (Austronesians) around 3,000 years ago.

Our ABC seems quite happy to publicise Trump's transgressions.

That shows there's a rupture in western elite consensus re Trumpism.

Our ABC is more biased when reporting on Putin, Hamas and the Ayatollah. That shows there's a western elite consensus on these topics.

Carney is ex-Goldman Sachs. Last month he appointed an ex-Black Rock exec as Canada's ambassador to the US.

Is Carney positioning Canada against Trump... or positioning the Transatlantic finance cabal against Trump?

Filming the killing then releasing the video immediately was probably the safest thing the pink jacket lady could do.

Not much point in the agents killing her or threatening her now. The video already tells the story.

YouTube video by World Affairs In Context CAPITALISM Is COLLAPSING — BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Just Said The Quiet Part Out Loud

Lena Petrova says Larry Fink's WEF comments about inequality were not based on real concern for the working class.

She says Fink is worried about growing dislike for WEF elites, which will accelerate as AI takes white collar jobs.

How will the masses be managed?

There are currently at least 2 major groups and 3 militia groups fighting for control of Libya.

Many, many more fighting for control of Iraq.

And you confidently assert that this won't happen in Iran?

You'd be better off pushing for slow change than a US-Israeli coup.

But it's antisemitic to point out Israel's record-breaking attacks on journalists.

And those journalists are probably antisemitic for showing us videos and photos that dispel the Israeli narrative of 'most moral army in the world.'

Plenty of maps being circulated about what the US and Israel hope to do to Iran.

The new states would become vassals.

Eerily similar to what the Brits did to the Ottoman Empire.

Trump said the Board of Peace would "embark on a bold new approach to resolving global conflict".

Organised and led by a country that has just armed Israel's obliteration of Gaza and bombing of Iran, kidnapped a president and threatened to seize Greenland.

Sounds more like a chess board of pieces.

Good point. There are different kinds of crimes.

First nations are not the major committers of genocide.

Or fraud.

Or tax evasion.

Or environmental destruction.

Or kidnapping presidents.

Or stealing oil.

Or cybercrime.

Or corrupting politicians.

I share your concern about the disproportionate influence of wealthy Australian Zionists. They corrupt our democracy and values to serve Israeli interests.

But the best counter to the Murdoch press is not an enquiry. The best counter is media literacy: the tools to see propaganda (on all sides).

Louise Adler is one of the few members of our Jewish community to publicly defend Australian values like freedom of speech.

One of the few Jewish groups to publicly defend Australian values is the Australian Jewish Council.

Full respect to them.

Whether Trump is serving his country's economic and political interests is debatable.
Whether Trump is serving all classes in the US is debatable (many working class people still support him).

What's hard to dispute is his low quality of moral leadership: egotistical, divisive, selfish, corrupt.

The Saudis seem to be intensifying their competition with the UAE.
In Yemen, this seems to have reduced the fighting as the UAE back-pedalled.
In Sudan, this seems to have intensified the fighting.

Australia already has the Racial Discrimination Act (1975). It prohibits discrimination and any public action likely to offend or intimidate someone because of their race, colour, or ethnic origin.

Why would we need further laws?

Is the intention to stop us protesting against genocide in Gaza?

This is an awkward one.

Indonesians were fishing for sea cucumbers in our waters long before white Australian settlement.

Matthew Flinders met sea cucumber (trepang) fishermen off north-eastern Arnhem Land in 1803, during his circumnavigation of Australia.

But these guys in 2026 had a lot (40kg)!

Glad you didn't post this on X.

The responses would have been different.

Surely there are different levels of violence:
Breaking something.
Punching someone.
Killing someone.

And being paid by Mossad or the CIA to do any of the above.

Presumably - in Iran and anywhere else - they warrant different levels of response.
