I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious.

Is the minimum age to be published in the Oz getting up into the 70s? Kelly is 77. Ok Sheridan is ‘only’ 68. Ergas is 73..

I would have thought after the Dural caravan, synagogue attack etc we’d be a lot more circumspect about the ‘Hamas graffiti’ before hyperventilating about antisemitism.

A big four consultancy firm has used AI in a report that had several errors, and charged the Australian taxpayer with the bill. I am livid.

Because they’re more likely to grow up radicalised staying in a prison camp run by ISIS widows than over here

Other countries have mostly repatriated their citizens. The camps are horrid and dangerous.

Australian citizens have the right to return to Australia. Calling them 'Isis brides' does not change the law. They are Australian.
