@jakeshieldsajj @grok Hey @grok tell us about when Mossad pretended to be Australians and used our passports to assassinate their foes abroad. This was done to avoid detection. Does this sound like something an ally of Australia would do?

I’ve just stepped back into civilization after eight days hiking through the Cordillera Huayhuash mountains in Peru. A trip the lads and I planned a year ago. No phone reception. No social media. No politicians. Just 5000 mtr + mountains, freezing mornings and four middle-aged blokes discovering that altitude has absolutely no respect for your former military career. Honestly, it was refreshing and much needed. I was fried prior to leaving. You disconnect long enough and your brain starts working properly again. You stop hearing “experts” explaining why Australians should be excited about renting forever and owning nothing except a HECS debt and an anxiety disorder. While I was off grid, even more business owners I know started scrambling for the exits. Not metaphorically either. Actual conversations now about moving companies offshore, shifting assets, setting up internationally and reducing exposure to Australia as fast as possible. Five years ago that sounded extreme. I’m 54. I’ve spent decades building businesses, employing Australians, dealing with payroll stress, compliance, taxes and all the other little government love notes that come with running companies here. The rough plan was simple: build value and exit the building industry in my 50’s. A very rare story in an industry with 90% attrition rates. Instead, the board’s been flipped again. The government wants to take up to 47% of my sale price. After all the cash I’ve paid them just to survive in the last 18 years. Meanwhile institutional investors keep getting positioned to own bigger chunks of the Aussie housing market while ordinary Australians get inspirational TED Talks about “changing attitudes toward ownership.” Apparently renting a one-bedroom apartment from a global investment fund until you’re 73 is now considered flexibility 🫠 The thing Peru reminded me of is that people are actually pretty simple. They want stability. They despise Israeli tourists 🤣 They think communism sucks. They want a system that isn’t completely taking the piss either. Right now a lot of Australians are looking around thinking: “Hang on… this feels a lot like the piss is being taken.” Anyway, the fight goes on. The @AusLobby will release its official budget response in the next 24 hours. #AustraliaFirst 🇦🇺🫡

One year ago, when I first stood on the steps of the Magistrates’ Court surrounded by cameras, I said this case would become a platform to expose Zionism and the realities surrounding it. Today, that is exactly what has happened. In open court, under oath and on the public record, discussions were heard about the history of Zionism, political violence, terrorism, the broader geopolitical context of Palestine, and the distinction between legitimate political debate designed to silence dissent. The same system that tried to criminalise political speech has now been forced to examine the very ideology and historical context they wanted quarantined from public discussion. For over a year, I have faced prosecution, media attacks, censorship, threats, financial destruction, and relentless pressure simply for speaking passionately about Palestine and opposing injustice. Yet despite all of that, we did not bow down. This was never just about me. This was always about protecting the right to speak, protest, resist intimidation, and stand for oppressed people without fear. Win, lose, or draw, history will remember who stood firm when it mattered most. Palestine will never be silenced.

Mike Huckabee says the world can’t condemn Israel for how it conducted its campaign against Gaza: “The world can’t condemn Israel for doing what it didn’t have the courage to do, and that’s taking Hamas down.” Follow: @AFpost

This is why Australians are disgusted by Israel. It’s not antisemitism. It’s compassion for the innocent people being murdered by Israel, and a legitimate anger at the perpetrators.

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on a medical center in Qsaibeh, South Lebanon. Not a battlefield. Not a weapons depot. A medical center. Israel is hunting and killing the people who save lives. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity.

Good catch—the specific virus is officially "Hantaan virus," named after South Korea's Hantan River (also spelled Hantaan) where it was isolated in 1978 from field mice. The broader genus/family shortened to "hantaviruses" as standard naming convention for brevity. Pure coincidence with the Hebrew slang.

CDC is actively working alongside public health partners at the local, state, federal, and international levels, applying world-class expertise to monitor potential Andes virus exposures. The current risk to the public remains low. Here’s how CDC is responding: - Engaging with state and local health departments to conduct daily health check-ins, ensuring rapid access to testing and care if symptoms develop, and supporting individuals through routine monitoring. - Tracking three potential exposure groups: repatriated passengers, travelers who returned home before the outbreak was identified, and in-flight contacts who were exposed to symptomatic cases. - Developing testing protocols and guidance based on the best available scientific evidence. Answers to frequently asked questions: cdc.gov/hantavirus/faq…

In Israeli Hebrew slang, "hanta" (חַנְטָה, pronounced roughly "chan-tah") is a colloquial term meaning nonsense, lie, scam, hoax, or BS — used to dismiss something as fake or rubbish. It's modern informal slang, not classical Hebrew. The hantavirus family name (including Andes virus) actually comes from the Hantan River in South Korea.

The first question any Palestinian asks whenever meeting another Palestinian is this: what is your original city/ village? These are some of the community’s answers ✨✊🏻🇵🇸 #IsraelisGenocidalState #Palestine #GazaGenocide

@ElofsonJess @WayneWaldropW Gday mate 🇦🇺 Australia has stood shoulder to shoulder with you guys in most conflicts the last 100 years. Do Americans not consider us Aussies an Ally?

Twenty years ago, my dad was battling cancer when Mexico handed him a treatment the U.S. had outright banned: Laetrile—aka Vitamin B17—extracted straight from apricot seeds. Back then it was impossible to get here. Now you can buy the seeds online in seconds… but only take one or two a day. It’s wild how this lines up with the Gubba Homestead video. She’s cracking open peaches and straight-up says “they don’t want the public to know about it.” She breaks down the studies—including one from about 10 years ago on B-complex vitamins—showing how certain elements target cancer cells within 16 hours… and now Johns Hopkins is picking up the research. Makes you wonder about all the natural remedies that have been around for thousands of years before modern medicine pushed them aside.
