Links between the organisers &groups behind anti-#lockdown protests are VERY interesting.
Project Veritas is a far-right political dirty tricks operation &disinformation group linked to ultraconservative Republicans, mercenary head Erik Prince, a former MI-6 spy, &is well funded.
The right wing dirty tricks group #ProjectVeritas is cozy with Murdoch’s SkyNews:
“Isn’t it interesting how these revelations from Project Veritas are only being carried on Sky News Australia after dark and also in America on Fox News.” skynews.com.au/australia-news…
“One #ProjectVeritas video about allegations of voter fraud was called ‘a domestic, coordinated elite disinformation campaign’.” “Twitter has permanently suspended the account of conservative activist group #ProjectVeritas.”
Nice shot from ABC shows us an old mindset that festers within far right groups, and not just in this protest but also in the twisted minds of some of the far right nutters in the ruling Liberal Party.
“The spies, a man & woman with alleged ties to #Blackwater founder Erik Prince, along with #ProjectVeritas, [did] a botched incursion into the highest circles of [US state] politics.”
Funded by “a puppeteer in US state politics and the populist right”. wyofile.com/political-espi…
In the US, Project Veritas are targeting progressive Democrats with false claims:
“Based on our research the claim that Project Veritas discovered a voter fraud scheme connected to Rep. Ilhan Omar is FALSE.” usatoday.com/story/news/fac…
“A Stanford Uni & Washington Uni backed group that researches the spread of misinformation reported Veritas’s video “made several falsifiable claims that have either been debunked by subsequent reporting or are without any factual support.” eipartnership.net/rapid-response…
Project Veritas founder made a guilty plea for his role in a scheme to infiltrate a Democratic US senator’s office. archives.fbi.gov/archives/newor…
Finding error in mainstream media isn’t that difficult -but Project Veritas has weaponised that into an anti-Left anti-progressive politics pro-Trumpian push to mobilise the masses of disaffected into a political campaign.
Now they are here, in Australia. cjr.org/opinion/nytime…

How news media manage the narrative on Assange using the ‘limited hangout’:
*Finally 2wks in, the @washingtonpost mentions a witness lied
*Buried in parag 20
No mention of
*He was an FBI plant
*He lied JA hacked Iceland
*Judge quoted him as important to establish JA a ’hacker’
👇
*Witness is a convicted pedophile, fraudster
* He got full immunity for helping FBI
Further, the article
*Takes the side of the US prosecution by declaring JA is a ‘hacktivist’
*Places Assange journalist publisher in context of jailed US whistleblowers
👇🏼
*Uses ‘protest’ photo to contextualise JA as ‘outside the system’
*Fails to say claims against JA are what WashPost journalists regularly do -publish leaked material &advise whistleblowers on their safety &security
*Fails to mention JA risked no lives while US killed thousands

Beautiful eyes, snuffed out by an Indonesian military bullet. Nothing was done really to bring the shooter to justice.
An eyewitness I interviewed in 1995 described the shooter as having a goatee and wearing a blue scarf, an army provost.
Roger East, murdered but not forgotten.
Roger East was an Australian journalist, murdered 45 years ago today. Trying to report the truth of the Indonesian invasion of East Timor. He took cover in a flat the day of the invasion but was grabbed when he went outside, with his camera and notepad, ready to report. ...
Taken to the small park opposite the Hotel Timor, he was tied to a tree. He wasn’t immediately killed, suggesting some hesitation over killing an Australia journalist. After an hour or so a decision to murder him was made. Were orders forthcoming from General Benny Murdani? ...
There was a pandemic before Covid - it’s called Neoliberalism. It had already taken a toll.
It deindustrialised our economy - it propelled income inequality - it impoverished our public schools - it corporatised our universities - it privatised the profit-making services. #auspol
Neoliberalism has dynamited the foundations of a fair society. Far more effectively as any Japanese dive bomber or vengeful Middle Eastern terrorist.
Globalisation stripped the jobs out and sent them overseas.
