Understanding the Misinformation and Disinformation bill.
A Thread 🧵

Albanese and many politicians have been dealt a major defeat, and one of their reasons behind why they have lost seems to be because of misinformation and disinformation. It looks like as if they have been working on a plan B all along to get a win out of their defeat. That win for them would be in regulating online content in Australia.

At the moment, Australia does not have complete freedom of speech and no bill of rights. So therefore, to have our speech, particularly our digital speech regulated, would make it clear that this is no longer a free speech country. The government will ultimately be the ones to decide, no matter how many in-between organizations they have, what is determined as misinformation or disinformation. Yet as stated in the bill, which I’ll show excerpts from in the thread below, misinformation and disinformation will not apply to Australian governments, foreign governments in some instances, and professional media organizations.

The submissions for this bill ended in September last month. The submission period was in the heat of the voice campaigning. Now I would call this a very unreasonable time to hold submissions for the bill, as everyone was completely distracted. A better time to hold the submissions should have been end of this year or early next year.

It seems that the government knows very well what it is doing and why it is doing it. And with labor control in basically every part of the country, it falls heavily onto the shoulders of labor politicians to be the ones to bring this bill into fruition.

This means that you, regardless of your party affiliation, should contact your local politician and voice very clearly your disgust for the destruction of what’s left of Australian free speech. Regardless of if they will be the ones voting on the Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation Bill 2023 or not. As it is not misinfo or dis-info that is the problem itself, but instead, how that is defined and especially, how that could be defined in future.

For instance, any debate on Australian history, if truth telling ministries are fully enshrined, could lead you into posting misinfo if you post opposing ideas or facts that are no longer recognized.

Even worse, is that if another COVID-19 situation happens again in Australia, you might not be able to post vaccine death statistics compared to COVID-19 death statistics and then extrapolate on that. Or maybe, you may not be able to post information that implies that COVID-19 was actually the flu, as shown by a chart that shows flu numbers at near zero levels at the peak of the pandemic. These things could potentially be considered misinformation or disinformation.

Some online debates and posting about climate change could also begin to become trouble territory. It would be interesting to see if saying that an increase in carbon emissions leads to an increase in forest growth, meaning more oxygen production and natural carbon consumption, would be considered misinfo or dis-info. I’m not even saying that all these things are 100% true or not, that’s not the point, but what I am saying is that if its not true then the best way to combat it is to allow debate and discussion on it, not silence, delete or prevent it from being posted.

As silencing topics is the same as fixing prices on products. It creates a black-market and the topic will grow in isolation and adapt to that isolation. A topic that is hidden now can continue to grow in the underground and potentially become real misinfo or dis-info if not publicly addressed.

And so, to summarize, this is clearly a very dangerous bill, with very serious and harmful consequences. The people, when allowed to explore easily for themselves, topics that are potentially misinfo or dis-info, are perfectly capable of discerning what is truth, what is the closest thing we have to truth, and what is false or mostly false.

The key to combatting misinformation and disinformation is the freedom to access any information one so chooses too, and then to respond to that information freely and unhindered, regardless of whether it is true or false.

#NoMisDisBill

1. Content is mentioned a lot throughout the bill, and this content can mean text, data, speech, images, music and/or a combination of these.

2. “disruption of public order or society in Australia” “harm to the health of Australians” “harm to the Australian environment” these are bad things, but the concern to me is what these mean in the eyes of the government or future governments.

3. Here is the main part of the bill, the misinfo and dis-info terminology explained. It is worth a careful read.

4. Excluded for misinformation purposes are jokes, professional news, state education including if the state education is made by a foreign government and any government content incl. local gov. which I assume means councils.

5. Now I take particular concern with the fact that foreign governments are exempt from being considered as misinformation If they are of “equivalent standards” to Australian educational institutions. Why is this necessary?

6. The ACMA may obtain information and documents from digital platform providers and “other persons” (digital platform provider section on pg. 19).

7. The ACMA may publish content relating to current trends of misinfo and dis-info on their website.

This bill is something I will never support. Contact your local politicians and let them know you will not be voting for anyone who supports this bill. Not everything is mentioned in this thread, download the PDF for more.

In a break from my usual content, here is my take on the theory of devolution.

What you're about to read is a tale of an endless wasteland of horror and decay, undeniably terrifying and chaotic. Yet the ending will shock you... 👇🧵

1/
The theory of evolution is not actually a fact. On a micro level, I can see how it can be proven to be fact. But on a macro level, it is still largely unproven.

But there are some who would say that evolution on all levels is false, and point towards the opposite being the case.

I would assume the default dog could be used to argue that point.

2/
The default dog is a phenomenon that occurs when dogs of all different breeds mate with each other enough that they eventually create the default dog. Essentially a light brown dingo looking dog.

This dog breed is found all over the world, on every continent, especially in third world countries where domestic dogs roam wild.

Trump Assassination attempt. 🇺🇸
What we know so far...
A thread 🧵 1/15

1. Donald Trump was shot at today by an alleged local man and leftist who stationed himself on a rooftop in plain sight of spectators. I also have the video of the man who saw him and warned authorities before the attack.

2. Miraculously, he survived the assassination attempt, he just so happened to turn his head to the right just in time for the bullet to miss and clip his ear instead.

Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us.
Communist subversion, the downfall of the West.
A thread 1/9 🧵

Yuri Bezmenov was a communist propagandist and "co-opted" KGB agent working for the Soviet Union during the cold war. He was instrumental in propagating communist subversion and expanding the communist movement in India, including subverting Western intellectuals and Hollywood personalities.

Sometime during the cold war, he realized that communism had nothing of value to offer the people, and that his privileged position within the communist upper class was not enough to keep him from realizing the horror of the communist slavery system that he was imposing on people.

He then defected to the United States.

Once he defected to the U.S, the ex-KGB propagandist began to tell the American public the truth about the subversion of their country and the whole world at the hands of the communists.

This system didn’t die with the Soviet Union. It simply changed its appearance and spread across every nation on earth. Which puts into perspective why people like Candice Owens are currently under heavy fire in America for pointing out that many of the leading communist elite from the soviet union simply moved operations to America after the cold war.

Communism is a system, a beast, a monster.

It is not one person. It is a system that was set in motion over 100 years ago, and is still in motion today, more so than ever before. That sucks in those who wish to gain personally at the expense of others.

Communism as a system is fluid and changes shape and form. Most people know it as the WEF or UN. Or as the Democrat party, the Australian major party's, or as social justice and race-based movements.

All of these groups and systems are communist by nature and the roots of their ideologies and/or actions can be traced back to Karl Marx. It is hard to identify the key players who cause all the problems in our world because the key players are actually the systems and ideologies they operate within.

If one bad guy is removed or dies, someone else will take his place because these people are owned by an overarching system, the original rogue A.I.

Yuri Bezmenov explains all this perfectly. All you have to do is simply watch the full video, which I’ll post some short clips and then the full one in this thread, and you will fully understand what’s going on.

The solution? Patriotism, as he explains, and as I and the longform lads have been explaining day in day out. Nationalism and Religion are the kryptonite of the communist system.

That is why the mainstream HATES Nationalism and HATES Religion.

They can’t control you if they can’t control your mind.

If your values are rooted in the laws that God commanded, then you won't care for the laws that man commands. If you love your people above all others, then you will defend them when you see them being oppressed and subverted by systems and crooks.

This is why we don’t get distracted. Because we can see with eyes wide open, the pieces in front of us.

And it is people like Yuri that allow us to see these issues for what they really are in the first place.

Alex James.

2/9. “these people will be lined up against a wall and shot” all the woke virtue signaling that we see around us means nothing to those who pull the strings. Nothing. They are being used as a means to an end.

3/9. As Yuri explains, your freedom is in direct opposition to communism and its leaders. Like I wrote in my lead article; the reason why patriotism and religion are so heavily attacked is because these are Kryptonite to the communist system.

Javier Melei becomes President with over 55% of the vote.
What does this mean for the world?
A video thread 🧵

Millions upon millions of people around the world are rejecting socialism, the globalist scourge that is ripping away the rights of the people and replacing it with the chains of slavery. Javier Melei has won the presidency in Argentina. A self-described anarcho-capitalist, who’s aim it is to make the US dollar the currency of Argentina destroyed his opponents, taking over 55% of the vote.

This comes as the trend within western nations is to reject their socialist overlords who oppress them. The spark that has woke many people up is the vaccines. As millions upon millions of people in western nations absolutely detest the fact that they were locked down on mass, like cattle, and then forced to take a vaccine that was not properly tested.

On top of this. Mass migration has sent France, Spain, and many other European countries into social and sometimes economic chaos. The US southern border has been inundated with wave after wave of illegal migrants, using loopholes within US law to easily enter the country.

It seems very clear that our leaders are not on our side.

There are now, largely amassing on X, thousands of videos showing the full scale of the migrant barbarian invasion all across Europe. Showing mainly military aged male migrants in large groups and on packed boats essentially invading the continent, with the European media stabbing its people in the back, and hiding the truth.

This is what our world has come to. This is the international Marxist order, the globalist infiltration of all our nations. Socialisms end goal.

Now is not the time to relax, but rather, to ramp up our actions. Because a victory in Argentina obviously does not guarantee victories elsewhere. Whilst a great battle has been won on the side of the free market, liberty and our timeless values of freedom, the war still rages on.

Because peace and complacency got us into the mess that we’re in. It’s only via sheer determination and effort can we get out of it.

I see a day where our problems are solved. Where liberty is returned to the people. And we will look back on this time period as simply a test, a bump in the road.

This is not the end, this is only the beginning.

Alex James.
(thread continues...) ⬇️

1. Here is a longer, High definition version of Javier Melei’s iconic interview. If you haven't seen this one by now, it's well worth a watch.

2. Meanwhile, thousands of fighting aged male migrants pour across Morocco as they head towards the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. This is a regular tactic used by the invading barbarian hordes to get access into Europe.

Note: How many women and children can you see?

🚨Happening now. 🚨
Spain riots against socialist takeover.
Video thread ⬇️

Spain has erupted into furious and violent riots as nationalist protestors clash with the government. Recently the socialist government has signaled its intent to wipe Catalonian debt to garner the support of the Catalan separatists in order to form government and avoid and essentially buy an election.

This is not unprecedented however, as most western nations are firmly under the specter of socialism.

Socialism has one goal. To lull the people into complacency in order to control them. But lions don’t crave safety, they crave freedom.

And so the Spanish people have had enough and scenes are erupting all over showing that socialism has no place in Spanish society, and in fact, has no place anywhere else in the world.

Supplementary to this, Right-wing nationalists all over Europe are being targeted and assassination attempts have been made. With Spain’s Vox party official being shot in the face.

“The shooting came just hours after the politician tweeted his opinion on the agreement between the PSOE and the Junts party, which paved the way for caretaker prime minister Pedro Sanchez to enjoy another term.”

When will all our nations wake up?

Our two-party system here in Australia is filled to the brim with socialists who aim to destroy our nation through immigration and an inflated housing crisis. Liberal and labor are both to blame, there is no differences between them.

In Spain the nationalists have declared that the people must be in a “permanent state of mobilization”. With mass protests that are now following from this. What we can now clearly see is that the Spanish people are nationalizing and are openly defying socialism, amnesty for Catalan rebels, and what is essentially, the purchasing of an election victory through taxpayer burdened debt wiping.

So when will Australians stand up against socialism?

Alex James.

1. Spanish nationalists want Pedro Sanchez arrested. This is clear. Socialism has no place in Spain and should have no place in any other nation. What will it take before Australians and Americans wake up to this dystopian nightmare?

2. The mainstream media is declaring that these are just anti-immigration protests. Yet there is far more to the story than that. There are hundreds of underlying issues here. And socialists and globalists are behind them all.
