A former Special Forces Commando who served alongside Ben Roberts-Smith in Afghanistan has finally broken his silence. His name is Dean Burgess. He even speaks of the unwritten code of the “quiet professionals” and says he would feel like a traitor to the Brotherhood if he stayed silent any longer. He describes the brutal truth our soldiers faced: an enemy with zero rules who hid behind women and children, used them as human shields, and laughed at our rules of engagement. Our troops were sent into that nightmare again and again under impossible restrictions. Yet now the government is running a witch-hunt against the very men they ordered into that hell. Stuff 'em, I am speaking out. This gutless Labor government dragged our Victoria Cross hero off a plane in front of his kids, arrested him like a terrorist and locked him in Silverwater with the very terrorists he was sent to fight. What happens in war stays in war, it's always been an unwritten code of honour by professionals who fought and some gave their live to protect us. You do not spend hundreds of millions crucifying soldiers for doing the job you sent them to do. We still inflict our famous & stupid Australian Tall Poppy Syndrome on our own war heroes while bending over for every ideology we are too weak to name. In 1980 Lee Kuan Yew was right when he warned us we would become the "poor white trash of Asia". Well Australia, it's Mission Accomplished. All gift-wrapped and paid for by taxpayers too gormless or apathetic to stop it. At long last Australia is finally waking up. The rage is building. And we're not taking this anymore. If you are reading this and feel the same way but can only say it in private, then WTFU, it's high time to grow a spine and start saying it publicly. For goodness sake stop hiding in the shadows whispering like controlled cowards. #FreeBenRobertsSmith #FreeBSR

Remembering two great uncles. Brothers Jack and Alf Devantier who fought in WW1 and WW2, they returned home, Alf having lost a leg. Both in artillery in WW1. Fond memories is staying with Jack and learning woodworking techniques, he was a ships carpenter.

🚨Do listen to what His Highness is saying. The left has dominated the media and political institutions in Europe. They are shameless and vile. We see the same situation in NZ. Something has to be done, actions that counterbalance their dominance must be taken by all of us. This can’t be ignored anymore.

Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.

Don’t know what to do when you leave school with no skills, no knowledge, no ambition, but you like to sit in meetings making notes, then writing reports that no one will read - go work for a government ministry they’ll pay you well

Just look at what ISRAEL has built to keep Palestinians out! 7 layers of border wall, and they’ll shoot anyone who tries to cross. … Oh wait. This isn’t Israel. This is EGYPT. This is the Egypt-Gaza border. But if we say “Israel,” maybe you’ll care.

Western journalists get a deserved serve from Reza Pahlavi. Like many of us, he’s so sick & tired of gutless woke lefty MSM. “We will fight until Iran is free”

We have our first quarter-finalist! 🤩 Anyone else get the feeling he's getting a second world title 21 years after his first? #WorldChampionship

“Growing anti-Israel animus in the United States isn’t just a warning sign for American Jews. It suggests that America is going the same way as Europe, if more slowly.” open.substack.com/pub/melaniephi…

It’s no wonder we can’t get anything done in this country, and kids don’t know anything. We’re constantly ‘on holiday’ WTF….🤷‍♂️
