The state of free speech in Australia

The state of free speech in Australia published on

I mentioned a certain  law in a Reddit thread about some guy being kicked out of a panel show for supporting Russia’s vile attack on the Ukraine and someone asked for a link so i went looking and here it is.

Amazing as it seems, in Australia you can get up to three years in jail merely for offending someone on the internet. Seriously. The law is rarely enforced, but it’s there and it has a chilling effect on those who know it exists, which is to say very few of us. Piss off the right person and you may end up spending a fortune paying a lawyer to keep you from going to jail for having called someone a fucking moron. I’m not joking about the lightness of the insult either. It just has to be something a reasonable person would deem offensive, which these days means pretty much anything.

As i said, it is not often used, but all we need is a cultural and political shift for it to start being enforced against any annoying anti-Establishment gadfly who does too much buzzing.

 

 

 

The Guardian covering up for the WEF

The Guardian covering up for the WEF published on

 

 

In this article  on the Australian anti-vaxxers supposedly supporting Putin, the Guardian takes the opportunity to sneak in some pro-Great Reset lies. It’s not the main point of the article, but why waste an opportunity to lie to the public? And for all we known, the “main” point may simply be an excuse to sneak in the “secondary” point.

I have nothing to say about the rest of the article, but here’s the first bit that caught my eye…

” Sean Ambrose, a UAP Senate candidate for New South Wales, appeared to defend Putin in a tweet on Saturday, in response to another post critical of the Russian leader being a member of the World Economic Forum. The global organisation has been a key focus of online conspiracy theories, particularly those about a supposed “great reset” plot against humanity.”

Note the word “supposed.” As i am sure the Guardian knows, saying there is a “supposed” great reset is like saying there is a “supposed” invasion of the Ukraine! Or that there is “supposedly” a country called Russia! The Great Reset, as most reading this will already know, is a fact ADMITTED to by the WEF itself, but here we have the Guardian telling its idiot readers that it is about as real as the Lizard People. Note also that they seem to be ridiculing the idea that it is a “plot against humanity.” Gee, i would think that trying to bring about a world where we the peasants own nothing and have to rent everything, presumably from the billionaire class, IS plotting against humanity!

They also, in a negative context, point out that some right winger claimed that “… the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, ‘is a stooge for Klaus Schwab’, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.” Now, given that they are trashing the man, it is implied that this is NOT the truth. The problem is that the WEF itself lists Zelensky as one of its members! Looks a lot like a stooge to me and, no doubt, to the Guardian as well.

This may seem like a small thing, but this is how it is often done. You sneak in some important propaganda, knowing that not only will people take it as truth but that they are perhaps MORE likely to do so as you haven’t announced that THIS is what you are trying to convince them of. While their guard is up as regards the “main” point, it is down when it comes to the bit that “was just thrown in.”

I’m sure by now most here have seen the photo of the pigs standing on the Canadian flag. I decided to find out precisely who the pigs are so i did an image search using both Google and DuckDuckGo. Here are the results. Same search terms, same country (Australia) yet radically different results. Moral of story? Google is DEFINITELY censoring results.
