Jaw-dropping!

@JacintaAllanMP @VictorianLabor @AlboMP @SenatorWong @JohnPesutto may be about to do something that would be egregiously insulting to the memory of Nazi victims in Australia's Polish and Jewish communities.

A state funeral for Banderite Stefan Romaniw!😮 1/ Image What is a Banderite?
Ukrainians who are followers of Stepan Bandera, the founder of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera (OUN-B).

This filth, Alan Howe, has today emerged to sink the boot into #JulianAssange as he awaits possible extradition for exposing war crimes, to the USA which perpetrated the war crimes.

But there wouldn't have been war crimes without the Iraq war... 1/⬇️
theaustralian.com.au/inquirer/wikil…

Image The 2003 inasion of Iraq is still, IMHO, the war crime of the 21st century.

Howe is NOT a "journalist", but a lifelong apparatchik of the world's most evil propaganda organisation, the Murdoch media machine, which didn't "report" on the Iraq war, it CAMPAIGNED for it. 2/⬇️

🧵Why Paul Keating was spot on about ASIO and Mike Burgess's Goon Show.

Days before the #ASEAN summit in Melbourne, Burgess gave an alarming speech setting off a political firestorm about a former politician who "sold out" his country to a foreign power. #auspol 1/ ⬇️ Image Burgess's speech was entirely a propaganda stunt.
How do we know?

1. The case he cited is from more than 5 years ago! Really @ASIOGovAu? We should be afraid😱but you only have a 5yo example?

2. He gave an interview to ASIO stenographer Nick McKenzie, from Nine and The Age. 2/⬇️ Image

This is a steaming pile of garbage, typical for the Sinophobic, warmongering @9NewsAUS & @60Mins.

They're twisting the truth to make thugs appear as victims.

Squealer @DrewPavlou is a vicious pest who doxes & harasses any who call out his BS, especially Chinese Australians. Is @60Mins seriously giving credence to Drew's wild accusations that the "CCP" control @nswpolice & @metpoliceuk because they arrested him?
Andrew Phelan @ajphelo is a coward who talks tough from his keyboard but then runs a mile &
hates China for not conforming to white values.

The Australian's formerly North Asia correspondent Will Glasgow @wmdglasgow blocked me, so I didn't notice these tweets at first.
If you aren't blocked please share this🧵with him, as I wouldn't want him to miss out.
1st, he reports Japan's PM congratulated Xi. #auspol 2/
Japan is a "democracy", and Australia's partner in the "Quad", the silly 4-way club to "contain" China.
2nd, Will reports India's PM Modi congratulated Xi.

Modi is the most popular leader of the world's biggest "democracy" AND is also our Quad partner.
But wait...⬇️

🧵Whoa!
Guess who was involved in the scam A Current Affair pushed to invent a China threat story to pressure the Australian government into buying the Conflict Islands off some rich a-hole?
The Aus & US-funded @ASPI_org!!!!
#auspol 1/
And not involving underlings like ASPI usually use to spruik their lies, but none other than Director of Defence, Strategy & Nat Sec Michael Shoebridge @michael_ASPI!!!
Watch him on Sky News, above, then watch Media Watch's story on the scam, below. 2/

My response to @tomcanetti:

All I can conclude from this article is no one in Australia should feel unsafe for *attacking* China...

but it's ok for 1.2 million Australian Chinese to feel unsafe everyday from Sinophobia relentlessly incited by @ASPI_org's propaganda.👇 I use "propaganda" deliberately, as @tomcanetti demonstrated to me he's a victim of it, by asking: "What about the mass graves in Xinjiang?"

I informed him not even China's worst enemies allege mass graves.

So where did he get the idea?

The ridiculous claims of "genocide".👇

🧵Airbrushed!

La Trobe Asia @latrobe has posted the video of the 17 Aug. Human Rights in China event I attended to ask Vicky Xu about her @ASPI_org report Uyghurs for Sale.

They have removed my reaction to Vicky refusing to answer my question!
I reacted to correct the record, as her excuse for not answering my question was false:
* I had NOT ambushed her at the airport
* I had NOT tweeted what she claimed.
You can see me explain myself in this video of the exchange omitted by La Trobe:

Tonight I went to the LaTrobe Asia Human Rights in China event, to ask Vicky Xu @xu_xiuzhong a serious question about @ASPI_org's "Uyghurs for Sale" report, which she co-authored.
This is what transpired:
I wasn't there to disrupt the event, but I was there to hold her accountable for her ASPI report & to get her on the record if she acknowledged her report had cost Uyghurs their jobs, hence the video.
What I didn't expect is that she would create a bogus excuse not to answer.
