US spy boss James Robert
Clapper Jr makes secretive visit to Australia
Exclusive by defence reporter Andrew Greene
Posted 15 Mar 2016, 8:38pm
James Clapper testifies before US Senate
America's top spy, the US Director of National Intelligence, is on a secret visit to Australia, the ABC has learnt.
James Robert Clapper Jr directs the US National Intelligence Program and reports directly to President Barack Obama.
So far the Federal Government is refusing to give any details of his activities and meetings while in Australia, but the United States embassy in Canberra has confirmed Mr Clapper's visit.
"As allies, the United States and Australia cooperate closely on a wide range of issues," an embassy spokeswoman told the ABC.
"It is not uncommon that senior US Government officials visit Australia and engage in high-level consultations."
Before flying to Australia Mr Clapper stopped over in New Zealand where he met with Prime Minister John Key.
"I've met General Clapper on a couple of occasions. He's obviously got great insight into intelligence and what's happening around the world," Mr Key said.
The US intelligence chief is believed to be travelling onboard a US military C-17 Globemaster.
Last week the Australian Federal Police hosted the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation James B Comey on a two-day visit to Australia.
Mr Comey also met with Attorney-General George Brandis and Justice Minister Michael Keenan.

NYT: The Tables Have Turned – Time To Investigate The FBI, Steele And The Rest Of The 'Witch Hunters'
Sourced from QRes#8011
As we now shift from the "witch hunt" against Trump to 'investigating the investigators' who spied on him - remember this; Donald Trump was supposed to lose the 2016 election by almost all accounts. And had Hillary won, as expected, none of this would have seen the light of day.
We wouldn't know that a hyper-partisan FBI had spied on the Trump campaign, as Attorney General William Barr put it during his April 10 Congressional testimony.
We wouldn't know that a Clinton-linked operative, Joseph Mifsud, seeded Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos with the rumor that Russia had 'Dirt' on Hillary Clinton - which would later be coaxed out of Papadopoulos by a Clinton-linked Australian ambassador, Alexander Downer, and that this apparent 'setup' would be the genesis of the FBI's "operation crossfire hurricane" operation against the Trump campaign.

MASS Surveillance State In Australia! – Chinese Style Cashless Society Coming SOON!
Sourced from QRes#8011
Josh Sigurdson reports on the quickly growing surveillance state in Australia as new technology is unrolled in cities and towns across the country.
Darwin is building a city based on “smart technology” which is heavily influenced by China. The Darwin Council has approved and is rolling out smart technology meant to gather data and the whereabouts of every individual. Their excuse? Convenience as always! They claim it will help businesses in the area as people will be advertised to regarding things that peak their interests. Of course this is nonsense, but the council insists the technology is not to simply watch everyone. It will however… watch everyone, but they claim it won’t be a human watching people, it will be a robot. If someone does something wrong, the robot will alert the state.
Interestingly in defending themselves they claim that we don’t complain about cameras in banks watching people. The difference is pretty big. A bank is a place of business… A city street is… well… a city street.
Council’s Innovation, Growth and Development Services general manager Josh Sattler says Darwin will be the first city in Australia to utilize this technology.
Of course it’s not entirely a new concept for Australia which has been pushing for facial recognition passports for years and has been slowly going cashless. As bubbles burst across the board in Australia and the economy falters, this simply appears to be a desperate attempt to maintain control of the populace as always under the guise of “convenience.” It will grow larger and more powerful and it comes down to individuals to not only reject this absurdity as 5G is also rolled out, but protect themselves and their purchasing power against that which leads to such desperation. A completely crumbling economy.

If an Australian PM did 1/10th of Trump's alleged acts, he'd be out of office: Kevin Rudd
Sourced from QRes#8030
Rudd, who currently lives in New York, said special counsel Robert Mueller had presented "quite spectacular" evidence of Trump attempting to obstruct justice in his 448-page report.
"If I as prime minister did 10 per cent of what Trump is alleged to have done in this report you'd be out of office," Rudd told a New York audience last week on the day of the Mueller report's release.
"It's kind of quite spectacular in terms of the amount of, let's call it, attempted obstruction of justice which the president was involved in.
Rudd added that much of the evidence revealed in the Mueller report would already have been made public because of Australia's Freedom of Information laws.
So not only is Rudd shitting on POTUS because of his own guilt, he is also telling us that we can access all the details to his shitfuckery through freedom of info. Time to digg anons.

More Alexander Downer Fuckery
Sourced from QRes#8030
Former Foreign Minister Alexander Downer has joined Kevin Rudd's infrastructure chief, businessman Sir Rod Eddington, in advising a secretive British firm that sells intelligence on government policy intentions - including those in Australia - to big business.
The firm, Hakluyt & Co, was founded by former officers of British spy agency M16. Hakluyt has been embroiled in several corporate spying scandals and was caught in 2001 paying a former German intelligence agent to infiltrate green groups in Europe on behalf of the oil companies Shell and BP.
Hakluyt employs many former British intelligence officers and provides companies with high-level business and political intelligence on investment opportunities.
Mr Downer, the UN special envoy to Cyprus, was appointed to Hakluyt's advisory board in May. As foreign minister, he oversaw the Australian Secret Intelligence Service and had top-level access to information from Australia's spy agencies.
Sir Rod has served on Hakluyt's advisory board since 2005, but is not paid for his services.
In February, he was appointed chairman of Infrastructure Australia, a Rudd Government body charged with modernising the nation's water, transport, communications and energy assets through the $20billion Building Australia fund.
The former British Airways chief now faces conflict of interest allegations due to his roles with Hakluyt and Infrastructure Australia.
Greens leader Senator Bob Brown last night said Sir Rod should cut ties with Hakluyt because it was a "direct conflict of interest with his Infrastructure Australia role. "We will move to amend the Building Australia legislation when it comes through Parliament in a few weeks to ensure there are no conflicts of interest on the Infrastructure Australia board, Senator Brown said.
A roundabout tie to Hakluyt….

Papadopoulos Disputes Key Claim in Mueller Report … and Anons Analysis
Sourced from QRes#8031
Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos disputed a key claim in the final report by special counsel Robert Mueller about the origin of the FBI probe into Trump-Russia connections in 2016.
The report claims Papadopoulos talked to a certain foreign official four days earlier than he says he did—a seemingly small discrepancy that has significant implications and appears to be an effort to boost the credibility of the official story, which has been buckling under the weight of contradicting evidence.
As the official story goes, Papadopoulos was invited to meet Alexander Downer, Australia’s ambassador to London, in an upscale London bar in May 2016. …
The report, however, makes a crucial claim: Papadopoulos spoke to the “representative of a foreign government” on May 6, 2016.
This is false, according to Papadopoulos, who spoke to The Epoch Times via direct message on Twitter.
Papadopoulos acknowledged he received information about Russians having “dirt” on Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails.” He told the FBI that a Maltese academic named Joseph Mifsud told him this in London on April 26, 2016. Papadopoulos was later sentenced to two weeks in prison for downplaying his contacts with Mifsud when questioned by the FBI.
Papadopoulos denies a recollection of telling Downer the Mifsud story, but said if he ever did, it was on May 10, 2016. “I just looked through my records,” he said. “Yes, the Alexander downer [sic] meeting was on the 10th. Just double checked.”
https://www.theepochtimes.com/papadopoulos-disputes-key-claim-in-mueller-report_2890361.html
Anons Analysis
The difference is important, because, on May 9, 2016, former Judge Andrew Napolitano aired a rumor on Fox News that “there’s a debate going on in the Kremlin” on whether they should release 20,000 Clinton emails the Russians allegedly hacked.
If the meeting took place on May 10, Papadopoulos could have, for all Downer knew, just been repeating what he heard on Fox News the night before. How could that be the reason for opening a counterintelligence investigation into a presidential campaign—one of the most sensitive operations in FBI’s history?
The problem is, Downer didn’t suggest the release of the information was supposed to have anything to do with the Trump campaign.
“By the way, nothing he said in that conversation indicated Trump himself had been conspiring with the Russians to collect information on Hillary Clinton,” he said. “It was just that this guy clearly knew that the Russians did have material on Hillary Clinton—but whether Trump knew or not? He didn’t say Trump knew or that Trump was in any way involved in this. He said it was about Russians and Hillary Clinton; it wasn’t about Trump.”
Papadopoulos confirmed there was no way he spoke about any “damaging” info on Clinton with any “representative of a foreign government” on May 6. Not Downer, nor any other. The meeting with Downer was organized by his then-counselor, Erika Thompson, and the communications with her did take place on or around May 6. But it was done via email, he said. If he “suggested” anything to her then, she would have had a record of it. There’s no indication she provided any such record to the FBI.
So what basis did the FBI have to start investigating the Trump campaign? Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who spearheaded the congressional inquiry into the origin of the FBI probe, indicated that the Obama administration needed to legitimize its spying on the Trump campaign.
“In late 2015, early 2016, spying began on the Trump campaign,” he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on April 11.
“That information leaked; that led to what they consider to be ‘legal spying’ that began, that they’ve acknowledged that they’d started doing, at the end of July.”

The reason there were hardly any muslims in the hotels has to be because they all knew what was going to happen. The Sri Lanka intelligence service did, but they let it happen anyway.

Sri Lankan Minister of Defense claims attacks were in retaliation for Christchurch mosque attacks
The Sri Lankan Minister of Defense has reportedly said the church and hotel attacks that killed 321 people over Easter were retaliation for the Christchurch shootings.
"The preliminary investigations have revealed that what happened in Sri Lanka was in retaliation for the attack against Muslims in Christchurch," Ruwan Wijewardene told parliament on Tuesday afternoon.
The Guardian reported an intelligence memo circulated to some in the Sri Lankan government in the weeks before the attack said one member of the terrorist group identified as having perpetrated the bombings had started to update his social media accounts “with extremist content” in the aftermath of the shootings by a rightwing-extremist in New Zealand.
The Guardian reports terrorism researchers have said the attack would have required months of preparation and were likely started before the Christchurch attack.
News.com.au reports a video posted by Al Ghuraba Media, which is not an official IS organisation but is run by IS supporters, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
They named three of the suicide bombers as Abul Barra, Abul Mukhtar and Abu Ubaida.

Jacinda Ardern to lead global attempt to shutdown social media terrorism
Sourced from QRes#8040
24 Apr, 2019 7:57am
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and French President Emmanuel Macron will next month co-chair a meeting in Paris aimed at addressing how social media plays a part in promoting terrorism.
The meeting on May 15 – two months after the Christchurch terror attacks which claimed the lives of 50 people – aims to see world leaders and tech company bosses agreed to the 'Christchurch call' – a pledge to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.
"The March 15 terrorist attacks saw social media used in an unprecedented way as a tool to promote an act of terrorism and hate," Ardern said this morning.
"We are asking for a show of leadership to ensure social media cannot be used again the way it was in the March 15 terrorist attack."
Ardern called on leaders of tech companies to help achieve the goal of eliminating extremism online at the Christchurch Summit in Paris.
"We all need to act, and that includes social media providers taking more responsibility for the content that is on their platforms, and taking action so that violent extremist content cannot be published and shared."
Following the Christchurch shootings, Ardern has been working towards a global co-ordinated response that would make the likes of Facebook, YouTube and Twitter more responsible for the content they host.
Ardern spoke specifically today about Facebook, saying it is critical that it is not perverted as a tool for terrorism.
Instead, she said, Facebook should become part of what she called a global solution to countering extremism.
"This meeting presents an opportunity for an act of unity between governments and the tech companies."
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12224727
New Zealand and France announced today that the two nations will bring together countries and tech companies in an attempt to bring to an end the ability to use social media to organise and promote terrorism and violent extremism, in the wake of the March 15 terrorist attacks in Christchurch New Zealand.
The meeting will take place in Paris on May 15, and will be co-chaired by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The meeting aims to see world leaders and CEOs of tech companies agree to a pledge called the ‘Christchurch Call’ to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online.
The meeting will be held alongside the “Tech for Humanity” meeting of G7 Digital Ministers, of which France is the Chair, and France’s separate “Tech for Good” summit, both on 15 May. Jacinda Ardern will also meet with civil society leaders on 14 May to discuss the content of the Call.
“The March 15 terrorist attacks saw social media used in an unprecedented way as a tool to promote an act of terrorism and hate. We are asking for a show of leadership to ensure social media cannot be used again the way it was in the March 15 terrorist attack,” Jacinda Ardern said.
“We’re calling on the leaders of tech companies to join with us and help achieve our goal of eliminating violent extremism online at the Christchurch Summit in Paris.
“We all need to act, and that includes social media providers taking more responsibility for the content that is on their platforms, and taking action so that violent extremist content cannot be published and shared.
“It’s critical that technology platforms like Facebook are not perverted as a tool for terrorism, and instead become part of a global solution to countering extremism. This meeting presents an opportunity for an act of unity between governments and the tech companies.
“In the wake of the March 15 attacks New Zealanders united in common purpose to ensure such attacks never occur again. If we want to prevent violent extremist content online we need to take a global approach that involves other governments, tech companies and civil society leaders
“Social media platforms can connect people in many very positive ways, and we all want this to continue.
“But for too long, it has also been possible to use these platforms to incite extremist violence, and even to distribute images of that violence, as happened in Christchurch. This is what needs to change.”

UK Archbishop Calls for Recognition of ‘Anti-Christianism’ After Sri Lanka Attacks
Sourced from QRes#8039
This guy gets it
The Coptic Archbishop of London has called for acknowledgment that “anti-Christianism” is as real a phenomenon as anti-Semitism and Islamophobia following the horrific Easter massacre of Sri Lankan Christians.
“It is time for us all to #StandTogether and recognise #Antichristianism as much a real phenomenon and epidemic as #Antisemitism and #Islamophobia and deal with it as such,” wrote Archbishop Angaelos in a tweet Monday.
“Only when we consider an attack on ANY of us as one on ALL of us can we go some way towards healing our world,” he added.
The head of the Coptic church in the UK launched his appeal after Islamic terrorists slaughtered over 300 people in coordinated suicide bombings of churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, the most important Christian holy day of the year.
The chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, Wilson Chowdhry, said that the United Nations (UN) and world leaders needed to do more to prevent violence against Christians, noting that the Sri Lankan bombings follow the pattern of Islamic State satellite groups.
“The targeting of Christians on Easter Day is very intentional and is based on a desire to frighten worshippers from practising their faith and sowing seeds of division amongst communities,” Mr. Chowdhry said.
Pakistan itself was the site of the massive 2016 Easter massacre that claimed the lives of 72 victims, mostly women and children, along with more than 320 injured.
On that occasion, an Islamist suicide bomber blew himself up in an attack on Christians in a large park in Lahore, where hundreds of families had gathered to celebrate the feast of Easter.
The bomber was 28-year-old Yousuf Farid, a member of the radical Islamist group Jamat ul Ahrar, a branch of the Taliban (JuA).
In case there was any doubt regarding the religious motivation behind the attack, a JuA spokesman declared that the intended target of the bombing was “Christians.”
“The target was Christians,” said JuA spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan, adding that the jihadists wanted to send a message to Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif “that we have entered Lahore.”
Mr. Chowdhry said Monday that in the case of the Sri Lanka attacks, “the targeting of high-end hotels which are frequented by westerners is simply a clear hatred for all that is not Islamic [and] a clear indication that fundamentalist ideology is radicalising the Muslims of Sri Lanka.”
“Innocent lives have been lost and those killed join a growing list of Christian martyrs in a world where intolerance towards our faith has seen exponential growth,” he said.
Chowdhry added that “governments and International bodies like the UN must do more to eradicate extremism and terrorism, especially towards Christians who are experiencing unprecedented levels of persecution.”

Australia's canceled Israel embassy move shows country's Asian concerns
Government buckles amid backlash from Muslim-majority Indonesia and Malaysia
When Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison decided to shelve a plan to relocate his country's embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, he was concerned about the country's relationship with its Asian neighbors, rather than with the Palestinians.
The confusion has highlighted the policy-making difficulties for a country growing more reliant on Asia.
"Fundamentally, it is the right of every country to determine its national capital," Morrison told reporters in Sydney on Dec. 15.
"West Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. And we look forward to moving our embassy to West Jerusalem when practical, in support of, and after final status of determination," Morrison told reporters in Sydney. He said Australia will recognize West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel but he also denied his government will relocate the embassy immediately.
A political source in Canberra said, "Morrison meant that Australia would not relocate its embassy in Israel for the time being."

Then here comes…….well you know who
Frydenberg pushes for Israel embassy move to Jerusalem
Josh Frydenberg has launched a forceful pitch for the government to follow through with moving its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, despite a regional backlash and domestic pressure to influence Scott Morrison’s review.
The Treasurer and deputy Liberal leader said yesterday the government would not be “backing off” considering the move, and laid out the reasons why it should proceed.
The Prime Minister was forced yesterday to fend off criticism of his Israel embassy review from Indonesia and Malaysia, and accusations by Bill Shorten that Mr Morrison was making Australia “look stupid”.In addition to threats from Indonesia to stall a bilateral free-trade deal, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad warned Mr Morrison he risked encouraging terrorism if Australia relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv.
In response to the international and domestic criticism, Mr Frydenberg — a Jewish MP — told Sky News that Canberra already accepted Israel’s sovereignty over West Jerusalem.
“There will be people who say to you that Australia shouldn’t move its embassy to Jerusalem but let me tell you why I believe Scott Morrison’s absolutely right to make a principled statement that we now are beginning a process to consider,” he said.
“There is a fundamental point here, that the government is not backing off: Australia determines its own foreign policy decisions around the locations of its embassies.”
Mr Frydenberg said that under a two-state solution it was accepted that Jerusalem would be the capital of Israel, and that it was flawed thinking to believe the international strategy to hold out from moving embassies would encourage the peace process.
“I can tell you right now that the peace process is frozen and as long as Hamas are in control of Gaza — Hamas is a listed terrorist organisation — then you’re not going to get a deal between the parties.”
Mr Frydenberg said Indonesia would always have a different view on Israel from Australia, and Canberra shared “values and history” with Israel.

Microsoft Discovers Huawei Driver Allowing Backdoor Hack Into Laptops
More Huawei shennanigans? What else should we expect from State Big Brother?
Huawei, which is at the center of a long-running scandal accusing China of spying on western establishments, is facing criticism after Microsoft discovered a backdoor-like vulnerability in the Matebook laptop series that could have allowed hackers remote system access.
Microsoft said the security flaws were discovered by Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) kernel sensors, which traced the vulnerability back to a Huawei driver.
The report noted that Huawei’s driver allowed for remote device management also enabled access to the Windows 10 OS operating system, thus allowing for a backdoor-like hack.
Huawei responded to Tom's Hardware's inquiry about the Matebook security flaw. They reiterated that the security flaw was not a backdoor attempt to spy on customers. Huawei also suggested it may take legal action against media over "misleading reports" about this issue:

May to Let China Build UK 5G Network, Damaging National Security, Anglosphere Co-operation
Sourced from QRes#8056
Theresa May appears set to approve Chinese participation in “non-core” elements of Britain’s 5G network via Huawei, delivering a blow to the Five Eyes security alliance of Anglosphere nations, reports suggest.
The British prime minister overrode the objections of Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Trade Secretary Liam Fox, and International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt at a meeting of the National Security Council to allow Huawei, an allegedly employee-owned Chinese telecoms giant, to develop “non-core” infrastructure for the 5G network, according to The Telegraph.
Digital minister Margot James has pushed back on the reports somewhat, not denying that Huawei will be involved in 5G development, but claiming that “In spite of Cabinet leaks to the contrary, final decision yet to be made on managing threats to telecoms infrastructure.”
Many senior Tories are concerned that the Prime Minister’s rumoured decision will deal a severe blow to the Five Eyes intelligence network, comprising the Anglosphere nations of the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
The U.S. is keen that Five Eyes members do not involve Huawei in 5G development, as it could afford the Chinese Communist Party regime a back door to spy on their activities.
The Australian government agrees, warning that there are “serious concerns over Huawei’s obligations to the Chinese government and the danger that poses to the integrity of telecommunications networks in the U.S. and elsewhere”.
“There’s a reason others have said no,” commented Tom Tugendhat, the chair of the House of Commons foreign affairs committee.
“It is unwise to co-operate in an area of critical national infrastructure with a state that can at best be described as not always friendly.”
There is a risk that the United Kingdom could be shut out if intelligence-sharing if a Huawei connection leads to it being perceived as a “weak link”, potentially leaving the British more at risk from international terrorism and hostile state actions than its allies.

South Australian child ‘sex tourist’ branded the worst paedophile in nation’s history
Sourced from QRes#8060
An Adelaide “child sex tourist” committed crimes that are the most serious ever heard in Australian legal history, a court has heard.
Ruecha Tokputza, 31, appeared in the District Court today after pleading guilty to 51 charges against 13 babies and boys over more than six years.
He groomed Australian and Thai children for sex, filmed the abuse and shared it online.
Tokputza was arrested following a joint investigation by Australian Federal Police, SA Police, NSW Police and Interpol.
His charges include sexual intercourse with a person under 14, aggravated assault, engaging in sexual activity with a child outside Australia and transmitting child exploitation material.

Turkey arrests Islamic State member over alleged Gallipoli threat
Sourced from QRes#8060
Turkey has arrested an Islamic State member over an alleged threat to bomb or drive a car into the crowd at Anzac Day services at Gallipoli.
Bill Shorten has urged Australians travelling overseas to exercise a high level of caution, following “deeply concerning” reports of a suspected Islamic State member plotting to attack today’s Anzac commemorations at Gallipoli.
The Labor leader said he’s requested security briefings which will be coming within hours.
“This world should have no tolerance for violent extremism - violent Islamist extremism or any other quarter,” he told reporters. “But what we can’t do is let it discourage the marvellous tradition of young Australians travelling to the battlefields where Australians have fallen in previous conflicts.
“We should be proud of our identity as Australians and our history, and we should learn about the sacrifice.”
“We’ve always got to maintain a high level of caution,” he said, noting the recent terror bombings in Sri Lanka as an example. “But I for one love that so many young Australians in particular are coming to dawn services in numbers unseen.”
A suspected IS member has been arrested in Turkey over a plot to attack today’s Anzac commemorations at Gallipoli which will be attended by thousands of Australians and New Zealanders.
The arrested man, from Syria, was taken into custody in Tekirdag, a province close to the Gallipoli peninsula, police said.
Security sources told the ABC the attack was planned in retaliation for the Christchurch mosque attacks.
Local media named the man as Abdulkerim Hilef, 25, and released a blurred photo of him.
The arrest followed a police raid on an alleged Islamic State cell near the Syrian border. A mobile phone was also seized.
A source told the Herald Sun police believe he was planning to “bomb the service or drive a car into the crowd”.
Police evacuated the Gallipoli site and were conducting a thorough search to check for bombs in the area just hours before the dawn service was due to begin.
Turkish nationals were banned from attending the dawn service, which Chief of the Defence Force Angus Campbell is due to be at, amid heightened security fears.
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs said the dawn service would go ahead.
“The Australian Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the New Zealand Defence Force (joint lead agencies) are aware of Turkish media reports that the Turkish National Police has arrested an individual who is alleged to be involved in activities designed to disrupt Anzac services at Gallipoli,” the department told News Corp.
“This is a matter for the Turkish Authorities.
“Australian and New Zealand agencies are liaising with the responsible Turkish authorities in relation to this media reporting.”
It follows inflammatory comments made by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after the Christchurch terror attack last month. President Erdogan said New Zealanders and Australians who travelled to Turkey with bad intentions would be returned in coffins like their ancestors at Gallipoli.
He also repeatedly used footage of the mosque massacre at a campaign rally.
Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, a suspected white supremacist, has been charged with 50 counts of murder for New Zealand’s worst peacetime mass shooting. Fifty other people were injured in the attacks, which occurred during Friday prayers.
Every year, Australians and New Zealanders travel to Turkey for memorial services commemorating the 1915 Anzac military campaign to drive Ottoman troops from Gallipoli and the Dardanelles region.
Soldiers from New Zealand, Australia, Turkey and other countries held several services at Gallipoli on Wednesday, ahead of Thursday’s dawn service marking the landings.
The police spokesman did not specify which day the detained suspect may have been planning to carry out the alleged attack.
Turkey has said Islamic State was responsible for several bombings that took place in 2015 and 2016, which killed some 200 people in total. Although the militant group has not been active in Turkey of late, authorities still carry out routine operations against suspected Islamic State members.

Facebook says head-cam Christchurch video foiled its AI system
Sourced from QRes#8061
Facebook said it struggled to identify the video of the Christchurch mosque shootings because of the use of a head-mounted camera by the gunman, which made it harder for its systems to automatically detect the nature of the video.
"This was a first-person shooter video, one where we have someone using a GoPro helmet with a camera focused from their perspective of shooting," Neil Potts, Facebook's public policy director, told British MPs today.
Terror footage from a first-person perspective "was a type of video we had not seen before," he added.
Because of the nature of the video, Facebook's artificial intelligence - used to detect and prioritise videos that are likely to contain suicidal or harmful acts - did not work.
Potts was giving evidence to a committee of senior MPs in the UK as part of a parliamentary inquiry into hate crime. Representatives for Twitter, Google and YouTube also gave evidence.
Social media platforms, such as Facebook, have been facing scrutiny after the shooter accused of killing dozens of people in two mosques in Christchurch live-streamed the murders over the internet.
The social media company came under sharp criticism for not taking the video down fast enough and for letting it be circulated and uploaded to other platforms like YouTube.
At congressional hearings in the US over the past two years, executives from Facebook and YouTube said they were investing heavily in artificial intelligence that would be able to find and block violent and graphic videos before anyone saw them.
In a blog post following the attack, Facebook said that its AI systems are based on using many thousands of examples of content to train a system to detect certain types of text, imagery or video.
Potts was also chastised by the committee's chair, the Labour party's Yvette Cooper, for not knowing the senior officer in charge of counter terrorism policing in the UK, Neil Basu.
"We've been told by the counter terrorism chief that social companies don't report to the police incidents that clearly are breaking the law," Cooper told Potts. "You may remove it, but you don't report it."

Anons comments on Downer
Sourced from QRes#8075
What a strange coincidence.
After being found guilty of lying to the FBI about his contact with the Russians, Papadopoulos accused Downer of being a sinister foreign operative, directed by forces unknown to sabotage the Trump campaign. California Rep. Devin Nunes and North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, both Republicans, have claimed he “has ties to the Clintons,” because he signed off on a $25 million donation the Australian government gave to the Clinton Foundation in 2006 to fight HIV/AIDS in the Pacific.

moar info on North Melbourne counter-terrorism operation: Target appears to be an Anglican Church
Sourced from QRes#8081
The aftermath of a man’s arrest near a North Melbourne church has been captured on video, with heavily armed officers — one dressed in military camouflage — standing guard over the suspect.
Police have confirmed a counter-terror operation is underway in the area, with eyewitnesses reporting a man has been arrested outside St Mary’s Anglican Church on Queensberry St.
Witnesses captured the arrest aftermath on video, with the footage showing multiple officers surrounding the man, who has been detained on the ground.
Two officers armed with machine guns, one dressed in a helmet and camouflage military fatigues, stand over the man, who is wearing a black hoodie and pants.
Later images show the man wearing what appears to be a white disposable forensic suit.
Locum vicar Barry Fernley told the Herald Sun he was taken aback by the arrest.

“It comes as a shock to me,” he said.
There is also a police presence at the Viscount apartment block on nearby Bedford St, with armed officers guarding the entrance.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said: “The Joint Counter Terrorism Team Melbourne can confirm it is conducting operational activity.”
Police have stressed there is no current or impending threat to the community.
“It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time,” the police spokeswoman said.
St Mary’s Anglican Church is on Queensbury St, near the corner of Howard St.

Assange's Imprisonment Reveals Even More Corruption Than WikiLeaks Did
Sourced from QRes#8083
Consortium News has launched a new series titled “The Revelations of WikiLeaks”, geared toward helping readers come to a full appreciation of just how much useful information the outlet has made available to the world with its publications. Which is good, because there’s a whole lot of it. Understanding everything that WikiLeaks has done to shine light in areas that powerful people wish to keep dark makes it abundantly clear why powerful people would want to dedicate immense amounts of energy toward sabotaging it.

Without fanfare, Australia opens trade and defense office in Jerusalem
Sourced from QRes#8134
Spokesperson insists facility in western part of the city not an extension of country’s Tel Aviv embassy, won’t have diplomatic status
Australia last month quietly opened a trade and defense office in Jerusalem.
The move was not announced on government websites, and no senior Australian or Israeli officials attended the opening ceremony of the new office, which Canberra insists does not have formal diplomatic status.
By contrast, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last year attended the opening of a Czech office in the capital — which does not have diplomatic status either — and took part in the dedication of a Hungarian trade office, which is also located in Jerusalem but is considered an extension of the country’s Tel Aviv embassy.
Australia’s “Trade and Defence Office,” located in the Migdal Ha’ir office tower in western Jerusalem, was opened in March without fanfare, fulfilling a promise the country’s prime minister made four months ago.
“It is a commercially focused office, established and managed by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission,” a spokesperson for the Australian embassy in Tel Aviv told The Times of Israel. It “will not have diplomatic status and is not an extension of the Australian embassy in Tel Aviv,” the spokesperson stressed.
“We are currently recruiting locally engaged staff to work in the [defense and trade office] on a permanent basis. The Australian government has been liaising closely with the Israeli government and other partners in the establishment of the [office], to ensure it is fully operational as quickly as possible,” the spokesperson said.
