A pincer movement seems underway to spring #Assange before #Biden gets to Sydney—as hostility rises in Australia.
* Pressure from State Dept via Embassy on Assange camp
* Now pressure from Albanese for an Assange concession
* Hicks-style deal in prospect?

2. And note the unpopularity of #AUKUS subs deal—seen as wastage of $360billion in face of collapse of public services, NDIS, Medicare, public education, slow disaster recovery, housing prices, rent rises, welfare payment real decline, rising homelessness.
Hence, pro-US PR…

3. Unpopularity of the US alliance in Australia is hugely significant — 👉👉 recent polling shows that the majority of Australians do NOT support Australia joining the US in any more wars, whether in the Middle East or more significantly against China.

The Anderson Whitby Ontario event began with a video (produced by whom? Paid for by?) where far right Canadian “convoy” figures, including #TamaraLich, said words of welcome to Anderson. Then, in true fascist propaganda fashion inverting truth, they played the national anthem.

1. Time for a status update on #IS.
We’ve been collecting and analysing #IS comms and chatter continuously for the last few years.
This is what the short- (50-day) and long-term (200-day) rolling averages look like for #IS attacks as of 10 October 2022.

@bruce_haigh So here is my take on how our defence has been hijacked in Australia. Ten years ago, Australia invited many countries to tender for military equipment supply including fighter jets, helicopters and submarines. 1/
@bruce_haigh 2/ My understanding was that Japan won the tender and if Australian government had proceeded, we would already have fit-for-purpose subs in operation and closer cooperation with Japan, a regional partner in the Pacific.
@bruce_haigh 3/ But with the Liberal National parties in government, military hardware procurement has been hijacked by the USA. The worst possible situation developed with Morrison becoming PM and with the help of Australia’s #1 warmonger David Hurley, granting himself multiple ministerial

The resurgence of the M23 is in part linked to the launch of Operation Shujaa, the Ugandan military operation launched in November 2021 with the Congolese army and extended now. reuters.com/world/africa/u…
Those operations were triggered by a terrorist attack in Kampala in November 2021. Contrary to UPDF assertions, the operations have not decreased the operational capacity of the ADF. Massacres continue The ADF seem to have been displaced, not broken.

BREAKING: President Paul Kagame says relations with #Burundi have improved greatly in recent months & more will be done together with President @GeneralNeva to fully restore ties, in order for the citizens of the two countries to co-exist.
President Kagame said the issues between #Rwanda & #Burundi, including insecurity along the shared border, can be easily addressed & soon will be got out of the way for the people of the two countries to freely move across the borders. He emphasized the will on both sides.
On relations with Uganda, President Kagame touched on recent developments, including the reopening of the Gatuna OSBP, once again reiterating the issues which in the first place led to the closure of the border. He also used the opportunity to give the background of the problem.

Les relations internationales de l'ADF commencent avec les voyages de Jamil Mukulu en Afghanistan et au Pakistan vers 1970 pour recevoir un entraînement militaire. Il a noué des contacts dans bcp de pays d'Afrique, d'Europe, au Moyen-Orient pour financer les activités de l'ADF.

9 years ago today an act of despicable cowardice was countered by many acts of bravery. Taliban dispatched a innocent 12 year old child with a suicide vest on to blow me up. I survived, but the poor child of course didn’t as a result of incredible bravery of young Australian
Soldiers who raced out of FOB Mirwais in Uruzgan province Afghanistan to assist me and 4 critically wounded US Soldiers also a section of US Navy Seals who were resting at the base also came out - no doubt saving our lives within 52 minutes I was on the operating table at
Tarin Kowt being looked after by a team of brilliant Australian and US medical staff who managed to resuscitate me twice and save our lives. Everyday I think of that poor child sacrificed to kill the ‘enemy’ and everyday I feel blessed for being saved. Thank you to all involved
