Neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell crashes premier's press conference
"Why don't Australians have the right to protest?" Sewell could be heard saying.
"Why do you want to ban us from protesting? Shouldn't we have the right to speak in our own country?"
Sewell was held back by security as Allan and Symes quickly left.

Sydney port workers charged over huge cocaine bust
Trusted port workers are at the centre of a dramatic police sting that stopped more than half a tonne of cocaine from flooding Australian streets.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) and NSW Police, working as part of the multi-agency strike team (MAST), uncovered 506kg of cocaine hidden behind a false wall inside a shipping container at a Sydney sea freight facility late last month.
Investigators allege the drugs, which had arrived from Europe concealed within legitimate cargo, were being extracted from the container by a criminal syndicate with insider access to port operations.

Harvesting of human infants for profit
A previous Cairns News article drew attention to new-born babies being left to die utterly abandoned and alone on stainless steel specimen trays and in buckets on clinic floors, an astonishingly normalised level of medieval barbarity flying beneath the attention threshold of both the general Australian populace and the vast majority of Australian media, while being deliberately and meticulously minimised, ignored, denied, dismissed by all the emphatically Luciferian incumbents of every fake corporate Australian state and territory “government”.
And it just goes on and on, unabated, now over 100,000 new-born Australian babies butchered alive DURING BIRTH across every Australian state and territory EVERY YEAR, with their flesh, organs, bones and blood harvested and sold off to the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food processing industries here in Australia and all around the world FOR PROFIT. We KNOW that it’s all a commercial operation, because Hell-spawn & Hell-bound Satanist Dictator Daniel Andrews not only INTRODUCED this diabolically evil industry to Australia, he also specifically BLOCKED Victorian legislation which required giving pain killers to the babies during their slaughter because administration of anaesthetic would contaminate the children’s organs and “render them unfit for sale”.
The commercial butchering and harvesting of HUMAN INFANTS for PROFIT, now legalised and NORMALISED throughout every Australian state and territory. How about publishing the following video for the edification of your readers? It’s PRECISELY relevant to Australia because Australia is a WORLD LEADER in the official promotion and industrial-scale commercialisation of NATIONAL INFANTICIDE. [ https://rumble.com/v6ybp74-mass-graves-of-thousands-of-children-killed-by-obamas-adrenochrome-ring-dis.html ]
And just BTW, there’s hardly any point in “protesting” against tsunamis of Third World immigration and the systematic Globalist extermination of our country, let alone complain about the Luciferian Israeli Regime’s extermination of the Palestinian people, while this industrial-scale Satanic ATROCITY continues throughout Australia. God wiped Sodom and Gomorrah off the map for their despicable depravity, why should we expect to escape a just reckoning for our silent complicity in the continuous diabolically evil ritualistic barbaric MASS GENOCIDE of the most innocent Australians by their OWN MOTHERS for PROFIT all across every Australian state and territory?

Mossad cons ASIO and Albanese over alleged Iranian attacks in Sydney
Just days after a diplomatic row over Australia’s symbolic recognition of Palestine, Mossad, the spy branch of the genocidal Israeli regime, has fooled the Albanese government into claiming that Iran was behind a string of “antisemitic” attacks in Australian cities.
The packaged story comes from Australian spy agency ASIO, which receives most of its intel on the Middle East from US and Israeli sources, and in particular from the CIA and Mossad.
ASIO boss Mike Burgess fed PM Albanese the line that ASIO’s “painstaking investigation uncovered and unpicked the links between the alleged [antisemitic] crimes and the commanders in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps”. This “painstaking” work seem to be reading many anti-Iranian cables from Mossad and the CIA. Such was the likely basis for PM Albanese expelling the Iranian ambassador.
No doubt “protecting sources” will mean that the detail of these “links” will never see the light of day [despite curiosity as to why Iranian security would have even the slightest interest in attacks on Jewish businesses in Australia] but recent history tells us that Mossad and the CIA are almost certainly responsible. These are the same agencies, after all, that fed us a steady stream of fake war propaganda including the supposed WMDs in Iraq, claims of Hamas bases under Gaza hospitals and fake stories about Iran being on the verge of producing nuclear weapons.
Canberra’s diplomatic attack on Iran comes as the Israelis prepare for a second round of aggression against Iran and while Australian Palestinian supporters, through huge rallies, have been expressing outrage at the Albanese government’s collaboration with the Gaza genocide and demanding punishment of the Israelis. Regardless, and despite the evidence, the Albanese government falsely denies its provision of weapons to the Israelis.

Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna to Hold Press Conference with 10 Epstein Victims on Wednesday Amid House Push to Declassify Epstein Files
Khanna: We've got 212 Democrats and 12 Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert. Look, this is not about Donald Trump, and it's not partisan. This is about justice for the victims of rich and powerful men who abused underage girls. And 10 of these victims are speaking out for the first time at a press conference that Massey and I are organizing on the steps of the Capitol on September 3. In this country, people want transparency, they want accountability. I'm confident we're going to get the 218 votes for the discharge petition.
Reporter: Talk about that news conference because you're kind of touting it, that it's going to be, if not explosive, there's going to be some news made.
Khanna: Well, these victims haven't spoken for decades. When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims or their lawyers. No one talked to the victims or their lawyers when Maxwell was sentenced. No one has ever heard, what do they want? And my belief is, when the American people actually hear the victims for the first time, they are going to sympathize, their hearts are going to be broken. And all the victims are saying is for closure, we need the Epstein files released, that there are a lot of other rich, powerful men, politicians, business leaders, who have committed abuse and who have not been held accountable. That's what we're going to hear on September 3, and people are going to be outraged. And I don't see how after that, the house can't vote for the release of these files.

Zohar Zisapel, the RAD dad of the world’s telecom industry
“I don’t like big organizations,” Zohar Zisapel, the co-founder and chairman of RAD Data Communications, one of Israel’s most successful groups of companies.Rumor has it that one of Israel’s most successful entrepreneurs — Zohar Zisapel, a founder of RAD Data Communications — wears sandals and jeans to work, and flies economy class. The sandals part is true, he tells ISRAEL21c, but he no longer flies economy.
“I did it for many years,” says Zisapel who has earned millions through the 27 high-tech start-ups he’s created with his brother Yehuda in as many years. “People told me it was too arrogant.”
Lauded by entrepreneurs as one of the most successful and prolific high-tech entrepreneurs in Israel, or anywhere, especially in the telecom industry, Zisapel humbly says if it weren’t them, someone else would have created the technologies developed by RAD, and its group of companies. Six RAD Group companies now listed on NASDAQ include RADVISION, Ceragon Networks, Radware, RiT Technologies, RADCOM, and Silicom.
RAD has helped change life as we know it — enabling high-speed and wireless communication, and secure telephone networks and banking. Today, RAD is a solutions provider for more than 100 telecom operators around the world, including AT&T, British Telecom, Deutsche Telecom, France Telecom, Japan Telecom, and Orange France. It provides communications tools to major players in the banking, commerce, education, finance, government, military, transportation, and utility sectors.
“We were part of a trend,” says Zisapel. “We were lucky to be starting in the beginning of the ’80s when Israel was still a very socialist country.”
From oranges to modems
In the beginning, he admits, it was hard to change the world’s image of Israel, from a predominantly agricultural exporter to one that had fashioned — at the time — the smallest modem on the planet. When Zisapel went to develop the business abroad, “People said ‘we’re buying oranges, not modems'”, he recalls.
“Could life be different without us? I don’t think any company can claim that,” says Zisapel. “Not even Google or Microsoft.” He gives the comparison of art and applies it to high-tech: “There are those who did it first. When you do something first, you’ll have others following you.”

TALPIOT, FOUNDED 1979
History of Israeli Tech Domination | Israel has violated US law by re-exporting US military technology to China, yet they have never beared any consequences.
Talpiot & the Multipolar World Order | Through Israel’s Talpiot and espionage operations, Israel is able to dominate the high tech sector globally. “Talpiot was intended to give Israel a homegrown military edge, but it is also a contributing factor to its edge in biotech, high-tech and academia [ISRAEL21c, 2012].” “The unit also has to help Israel stay ahead of the United States and other large countries with strong militaries [Times of Israel, 2016].”
Talpiot allows Israel to take US technology and hand it to Russia, China, and beyond, with zero repercussions. Its foundation can literally be found in a recent Congressional bill, ‘S.2497 – United States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018‘. By law, the US “shares” technology with Israel all under the guise of ensuring Israel’s national security.

UNIT 8200, FOUNDED 1952
Unit 8200 #ISRAEL Cyber Warfare Unit | Unit 8200 (Hebrew: יחידה 8200, Yehida Shmoneh-Matayim) is an Israeli Intelligence Corps unit responsible for collecting signal intelligence (SIGINT) and code decryption. It also appears in military publications as the Central Collection Unit of the Intelligence Corps and is sometimes referred to as Israeli SIGINT National Unit (ISNU). http://www.worldinwar.eu/unit-8200-israel/
THE HISTORY AND IMPACT OF UNIT 8200 ON ISRAELI HI-TECH | The attitude of these early Zionists still exists in modern Israeli society, and the nation’s … beginnings have had a lasting impact on the nation’s culture. Unit 8200, and its precursors, embodied this … spirit … [which] continues to drive innovation and has turned Israel into one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. …
Unit 8200 began as a collection of pre-independence intelligence and signals gathering groups that honed their technological skills on British and Arab adversaries. After independence in 1948, the Israeli military, now called the IDF, set up an electronic warfare unit in a green villa that was formerly inhabited by an Arab sheik in the old port town of Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv. The group was given the codename “Rabbit” and put in charge of breaking codes and intercepting Arab communications. During this time, very few countries possessed any ability to intercept and break codes. The U.S., U.K., and the Soviet Union were among the few countries with this ability. This technological ability was not purchased from any other country, but rather developed by early Israeli computer engineers, some of whom had recently emigrated from the Soviet Union. The Unit had some unique restraints that did not exist in the other technologically advanced countries, which included a lack technical experience, technological institutions, funds, and manpower. To compensate for these deficiencies, members of the Unit resorted to crude, albeit effective, techniques to monitor Arab communications. These techniques included stringing up an antenna made of metal wire between two poles, connected to an old Hallicrafter’s S-38, a popular civilian radio in the 1930s and 40s. In 1949, the Unit developed a more sophisticated monitoring systems based on stolen BBC plans. …

PM tells global business leaders: ‘This year in Jerusalem’ | Netanyahu focused the bulk of his speech on Israel’s start-up and high-tech bonafides, which he credited to the country’s large investment in its military cybersecurity.
He said the country had the “second largest” equivalent of the US’s National Security Agency in the world, referring to the IDF Military Intelligence’s Unit 8200.
He then added for emphasis, “I don’t know if you heard what I just said. It’s the second largest NSA, not in relative terms. The United States is 42 times larger than the State of Israel. Its NSA is not 42 times the size of Israel’s NSA, it’s not even 10 times the size.” – Times of Israel 2018 https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-to-global-business-leaders-this-year-in-jerusalem/
It’s noteworthy that the upcoming leading alternative to Facebook that incorporates crypto-currency and attention economy profit-sharing is Israeli startup Synereo, which was co-founded by a Unit 8200 veteran.
“Synereo boasts that it is the world’s first completely decentralized and distributed social network. Users are able to interact directly with each other without the need for a 3rd party intermediary, unlike the case with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Linkedin.” – Jewish Business News 2015 http://jewishbusinessnews.com/2015/01/28/israeli-startup-synereo-offers-decentralized-social-network/

The co-investment by the venture arms of two tech giants serves as a point of validation for Israel’s booming digital defense sector. Microsoft has been particularly fond of the nation’s cyber talent, snapping up multiple companies founded there in recent years.
Team8 and its spinoff companies have raised a total of $92 million to date, according to the company. The parent firm last raised $23 million from investors such as AT&T, Accenture, and Nokia about a year ago. …
Ex-NSA employees criticize Mike Rogers’ role with Israeli venture firm
Ex-NSA employees have criticized Rogers' move to a company founded by former Israeli military hackers.
Some former National Security Agency officials have strongly criticized ex-NSA Director Adm. Michael Rogers’ decision to join the advisory board of a venture capital firm that is closely linked with an Israeli intelligence agency.
The company, Team8, announced Rogers’ position last week. Founded by former members of the elite Israeli army intelligence group known as Unit 8200, Team8 researches cybersecurity market demand, raises investments from big tech companies, and creates startups based on those demand signals. It also describes itself as a think tank, and does its own threat research.
Rogers, who headed NSA and U.S. Cyber Command for four years before stepping down this past May, will advise companies in Team8’s portfolio as well as companies under development. The retired admiral will be “instrumental in helping strategize” Team8’s expansion in the United States, the firm said in a statement last week.
Rogers’ decision to join Team8 irked Robert Lee, a former Air Force officer and former NSA employee. It “bothers me on a deep level” when former senior U.S. government officials profit from their experience to “work with foreign intel backed companies,” Lee tweeted.

A LOOK AT VIKTOR ORBAN'S DANUBE INSTITUTE
DANUBE INSTITUTE
The Danube Institute is a conservative think tank founded in 2013 and based in Budapest, Hungary. The institute is financed through the Batthyány Foundation (BLA) and receives Hungarian state funding from the Fidesz government. BLA is led by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s second-in-command Antal Rogán.
According to its mission statement, the Danube Institute is dedicated to "a respectful conservatism in cultural, religious, and social life, the broad classical liberal tradition in economics, and a realistic Atlanticism in national security policy."
The institute operates as one of the main international ideological workshops of the Fidesz government led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban. They have paid more than $1.64 million to its foreign collaborators over the past three years. The institute is building a network primarily with allies in the United States, together with the Heritage Foundation.
An agreement was signed between the Hungarian government’s proxies at the Danube Institute in 2022 and the Heritage Foundation. The agreement would allow for cooperation between the two organizations and co-host events together such as the Danube Institute - Heritage Foundation Geopolitical Summits.
Alarm bells began to sound when Orban visited the United States in 2024 prior to the presidential election. In a severe breach of diplomatic protocol, rather than meeting sitting President Biden in an official state visit, Orban went to visit Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
That wasn't Orban's only stop in the United States. He did actually go to Washington D.C., to visit the Heritage Foundation headquarters were he gave a closed door speech. Orbán spoke, according to a readout, in front of an audience that “included renowned U.S. right-wing politicians, analysts and public personalities.”
The fact that Orban traveled to the Heritage Foundation HQ speaks to their power. It shows how much of a significant platform they are, as well as the network and reach they have developed. It also displays how far Orban's influence has penetrated into the United States' politics.
It reminds one of a detail revealed by Atlas Network founder Antony Sutton;
He sought out Hayek in London and talked enthusiastically about politics. Hayek, however, convinced him that think-tanks were the best medium for effecting change in society. It is safe to assume that Orban has adopted the same opinion as Hayek.
Using taxpayer money, Orban has financed ideological allies to network with, strategize with, increase influence abroad, and use as tools domestically to push his regimes ideas and propaganda.
https://exposetheenemy.com/danube-institute
VIKTOR ORBAN
During his current term as Prime Minister, Orban's policies have undermined democracy, weakened judicial independence, increased corruption, and curtailed press freedom in Hungary. His portrayal of the EU as a political foe—as he accepts its money and funnels it to his allies and relatives—has led to accusations that his government is a kleptocracy. It has also been characterized as a hybrid regime, dominant-party system, and mafia state.
His tenure has seen Hungary's government shift towards what he has called "illiberal democracy," while simultaneously promoting Euroscepticism and opposition to liberal democracy and establishment of closer ties with China and Russia.
In 2012 Orbán's government gave a huge tax break for the wealthy by introducing a flat tax on personal income set at 16%.

Vladimir Putin KGB Agent 1975-1991, Director of the KGB/FSB 1998-1999
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin#KGB_career
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin[d] (born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician and former intelligence officer who has served as President of Russia since 2012, having previously served from 2000 to 2008. Putin also served as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000[e] and again from 2008 to 2012.[f][7]
Putin worked as a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He resigned in 1991 to begin a political career in Saint Petersburg. In 1996, he moved to Moscow to join the administration of President Boris Yeltsin. He briefly served as the director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and then as secretary of the Security Council of Russia before being appointed prime minister in August 1999. Following Yeltsin's resignation, Putin became acting president and, less than four months later in May 2000, was elected to his first term as president. He was reelected in 2004. Due to constitutional limitations of two consecutive presidential terms, Putin served as prime minister again from 2008 to 2012 under Dmitry Medvedev. He returned to the presidency in 2012, following an election marked by allegations of fraud and protests, and was reelected in 2018.
During Putin's initial presidential tenure, the Russian economy grew on average by seven percent per year[8] as a result of economic reforms and a fivefold increase in the price of oil and gas.[9][10] Additionally, Putin led Russia in a conflict against Chechen separatists, re-establishing federal control over the region.[11][12] While serving as prime minister under Medvedev, he oversaw a military conflict with Georgia and enacted military and police reforms. In his third presidential term, Russia annexed Crimea and supported a war in eastern Ukraine through several military incursions, resulting in international sanctions and a financial crisis in Russia. He also ordered a military intervention in Syria to support his ally Bashar al-Assad during the Syrian civil war, with the aim of obtaining naval bases in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Putin's Propaganda Machine: Soft Power and Russian Foreign Policy
Putin's Propaganda Machine examines Russia’s “information war,” one of the most striking features of its intervention in Ukraine. Marcel H. Van Herpen argues that the Kremlin’s propaganda offensive is a carefully prepared strategy, implemented and tested over the last decade. Initially intended as a tool to enhance Russia’s soft power, it quickly developed into one of the main instruments of Russia’s new imperialism, reminiscent of the height of the Cold War. The author describes a multifaceted strategy that makes use of diverse instruments, including mimicking Western public diplomacy initiatives, hiring Western public-relations firms, setting up front organizations, buying Western media outlets, financing political parties, organizing a worldwide propaganda offensive through the Kremlin’s cable network RT, and publishing paid supplements in leading Western newspapers. In this information war, key roles are assigned to the Russian diaspora and the Russian Orthodox Church, the latter focused on spreading so-called traditional values and attacking universal human rights and Western democracy in international fora. Van Herpen demonstrates that the Kremlin’s propaganda machine not only plays a central role in its “hybrid war” in Ukraine, but also has broader international objectives, targeting in particular Europe’s two leading countries―France and Germany―with the goal of forming a geopolitical triangle, consisting of a Moscow-Berlin-Paris axis, intended to roll back the influence of NATO and the United States in Europe. Drawing on years of research, Van Herpen shows how the Kremlin has built an array of soft power instruments and transformed them into effective weapons in a new information war with the West.
