hook into #4Corners right about now abc.net.au/4corners/
here's australian spies wiretapping the government of timor leste to defraud them out of gas resources in the timor sea.
means they have their eyes off anything even vaguely related to national security. they're doing industrial esionage. #4Corners
the timorese government finds out about it. moves to invalidate the treaty. and then the bipartisan lying begins to protect "national security" #4Corners
this isn't national security. this is institutional organised crime. #4Corners
how often we see this pattern. the criminals hold high office. the truth-tellers get prosecuted. #4Corners
prosecuted in closed courts to help shroud that vast abuse of the term "national security" #4Corners
and now xanana with the mic-drop #4Corners
that was a sharp example of how #4Corners can go to work on something big: can we put in a request for episode 2 tracking alexander downer's role from cabinet to woodside. would watch.
and follow @PeterCronau if you don't already👏🏼

so this is the end game. either they free #assange or they kill him. now's the time to step up - not next week, not after the next election - now. themonthly.com.au/issue/2021/aug…
we're not alone; in fact we have allies everywhere. so here's a question: is your MP a member of the Bring Julian Assange Home Parliamentary Group? drop them a line or an email and ask what they are doing to free #Assange aph.gov.au/Senators_and_M…
here's another one; i tried this and it took two minutes. write to @POTUS and ask why he is prosecuting an australian publisher: whitehouse.gov/get-involved/w…

#Australiabushfire now copping a synchronised misinformation campaign from bot armies to the murdoch platforms to morrison's office; this is a useful review of DARVO: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender - it's textbook abusive behaviour: marineseismicsurvey.com/institutional-…
the phrase 'institutional betrayal' also feels apt rn
the same people who poured petrol all over the ground now want us to believe they have the answers, when all they have is more coal, more land clearing, blame ecologists, ignore scientists, and pretend the prior 65,000 years of land management practice never existed

dear friends. the sun's up there somewhere and won't set for another 90 minutes, but a short while ago dear #narooma looked like this
the wind is swirling, gusting from everywhere although it seems to be mostly a southerly. thats probably good for narooma, and dangerous as hell for people on the other side of the front. the air is heavy with ash. occasional dry lightning.
power has been out an hour or two after glitching for a while. i guess those transformers they lost in the snowys have pulled the network down.

this is important. the for-profit mass extinction we're being driven into is bipartisan, even though they'll try to persuade us otherwise when the next election rolls around. if we wait for elections we're cooked. organise. #RebelForLife
this is on the *same day*
how is this anything other than a form of political gaslighting.

scrolling through the #JournalismIsNotACrime hashtag is an antidote to the bleak years of fighting the major parties as they built a surveillance state shrouded in the deadening language of 'national security,' and being outnumbered every single time...
is it too much to hope that this bucket of freezing water thrown at the press will cause some reflection on how this blind lockstep threatens not just media, but everyone?
that overwhelming police power has been turned against Aboriginal mob, justice and enviro campaigners, union organisers and many others, for decades?
