Mainstream media and government in cahoots.

As I said elsewhere on the ISIS brides, “the Labor party is lying about the inability to refuse them entry into Australia. They and the mainstream media have told the lie so many times that people now believe it”.

An article by John Humphreys, ‘Big Government plans to bailout big media’, suggests the governments and the media are definitely in cahoots.

The older media is dying out (more and more people are shunning it for ongoing options online) and the political class intends to help them. They don't want to lose their mouthpiece. The “old-school” media, losing the narrative and advertising revenues and the political class are working on a policy that would tax digital platforms and provide a “large subsidy” to the old media “to help them stay dominant”. It's referred to as a ‘news bargaining initiative’.

What it really would be is a “massive government bailout”. And more government help for the MSM, more dependence on the government, and vice versa.

The Albanese government has released draft legislation that they intend to put to parliament later this year.

According to the author, it looks as if the Coalition and the Greens are “broadly supportive, so it's likely to pass”. No surprise there.

The policy would tax the platforms that are now widely used, for an alternative to the MSM, in order to subsidise the now sickly MSM.

It's all about the government using the MSM's help to maintain control over the news narrative.

Hi runner,

As things have been getting a little too hot for the pedo-clergy in Australia, many are now on a "mission" to third world countries like the Philippines, Africa and South America in search of fresh meat. I was disgusted to hear only the other day, that a certain member of the suspect clergy has just returned from a 3 month mission to Africa. What do you have to say about that?

I hope that the 'silent majority' is more interested in the steady rise of Marxism and authoritarianism in Australia than OLO posters are. If not, this country and its people are well and truly buggered.

yeah good diversion Paul from the filthy voting blocks the Greens have tapped into. You know like Hamas/isis mob who have child abuse as part of their culture. No wonder you divert to your favourite lying narrative. And yeah,and not forget the labor/Greens love those hell holes where aboriginal kids are abused regularly. Did you learn your hatred and virtue signalling from Thorpe?

The fall of Farrer, held by the Liberals for the last 25 years, is one indication that the silent majority has had enough.

The 'safe seat' formula used for such things now has Farrer as a safe seat for One Nation, needing a 6% swing to replace it.

The fact that the seat has been held by Nationals and Liberals since 1949 makes the ON win amazing, and suggests that Australians might not still be the mugs they have been up to and including the last election.

"one billion plus a year still being paid to the toxic feminist traitors of this country via the public indoctrinators." Good diversion runner!

My point is the pedo-clergy were exposed by the MSM, not by the likes of the 'Catholic Weekly'. Now they are moving off shore looking for new meat, about time that was exposed. Its investigative reporting by the likes of the ABC that brings much of what is going on in society to the public's attention.

We have just had a brutish budget handed down, exposing more
Labor lies and incompetence - taking the economy closer to the edge.Once upon a time we would have posters straight onto it.

Not now. Wait for someone else to do it. If someone doesn't, the problem goes the way of all news these days: a 24 hour cycle rather than 24 hours.

What a supine lot: no guts; no self-respect, arguing with idiotic trolls who add nothing useful.

If it wasn't for the MAIN STREAM MEDIA, in this case the ABC, would we ever had found out that ONE NATION was employing a convicted rapists? I didn't see it on Sky After Dark, or at a press conference from the Lovely Pauline! Good work by the ABC.

'If it wasn't for the MAIN STREAM MEDIA, in this case the ABC, would we ever had found out that ONE NATION was employing a convicted rapists?' And yet we had the filthy mean girls willing to weaponize rape and let's not forget Tanya's husband. bbc's lovie Jimmy Saville whose crimes against kids were covered by these Marxist grubs for decades. But heh with no moral basis the god deniers can justify anything. I mean the god denying high priests like Dawkins and the bloke in a wheelchair loved their relationships with Epstein. And let's not forget Albo's mate Gates who gets a free pass to visit Albo. By all means argue the filthy greens/labor have morality. The way they virtue signal you would think they are mother teresa's

Fortunately Australians are waking up to the Big Government/Big Media cabal by abandoning the MSM, driven by “plummeting public trust, soaring news avoidance, and a generational preference for social media and independent outlets”.

Only 32% of the population trusts the MSM. Social media is taking over, and the preferences for younger people are Instagram and Ticktock - now censored (not all that successfully) by Big Brother.

About 70% of Australians reveal that they sometimes or often avoid news because of “exhaustion, negativity, and a lack of belief in the truth of the stories”.

The MSM is experiencing a severe financial crisis.

Perhaps things will be OK again. The silent majority is still out there.

What about foreign U.S. tech multinationals like Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Oracle in cahoots with our government accessing all our business education and personal data?
- No-one says jack-shite about that...

What about U.S. global banking, blackmailing the whole freaking western world?
http://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2035777376328818894

Blackmailing individuals with VISA card and banking cancellation and blackmailing nations with being cut off from SWIFT, foreign trade and international banking.

'Stand with Israel or we'll destroy your existence'
Could it be any more blatent?

I've heard stories from these individuals, like Francesca Albanese when these individual sanctions happen they don't just sanction you they sanction your home address and anyone associated with you, so if friends even try to order food sent to your address, payment is blocked and that person that helped you also gets targeted.

But no...

The West is the best...
NOT. Wake up Australia.

'TikTok' - No 'C's.

It was the Netanyahu and new owner Larry Ellison that bought TikTok to specifically censor photo's and videos of atrocities in Gaza.

But you can't suggest that Jews wish to control media, even if Netanyahu says so himself, because it's anti-semitic.

I want to posit that Australian Law should apply only to the actions of persons in Australia?
We cannot apply our laws in another country because we have no way of enforcing our laws there.
In another country, the laws of that country will apply.
Only things done here should be subject to Australian Law?
We cannot effectively make laws for what any person does in another country.
So what have these 'brides' done here?
Probably nothing of note.
Did they actually join a terrorist organisation whilst they were on Australian soil?
How did this happen?
Can it be proven?
Or were they merely women staying with there husbands
So, are they innocent?
I must point out they are entitled to leave the country.
And they are entitled to return, which they have.
Anything they did in another country is subject to the laws of that country and not ours.
Only transgressions here should count.
So what are these transgressions?
I think people are whipping themselves in to a frenzy over nothing.

Right... now I'm REALLY PISSED.

So I did the stupid google phone updates this morning.
I sent a friend a few Aussie post parcels this week and I wanted to track them.

I take a photo of the post office receipt which has a QR code.
You can go to your phones photos, choose the picture with the QR code, then click the three dots in the top right which brings up a menu.
Choose Google Lens to analyse the image, and it brings up a URL that takes me to the tracking page. Easy.

So I did the 57 phone updates...
Then a while later I go to my photos to check the tracking of those parcels.

Everythings gone going back to May 2024.

Google says 'Turn your backup on' and also 'Is it ok if we analyse your images, help google'

I'm sick of this shite, sick of the updates.
Sick of them expecting me to keep my private photos on THEIR computers.
Sick of them trying to shove a camera up my arse.
Sick of them expecting me to dance like a trained monkey.

'But we're here to help, our business is YOUR DATA'

Sick of this country being ok with sharing all of our data with a foreign country and AI.

Give me back my F!@@#$$@!@## photos google you bunch of sleazy a-holes.
It's my phone, not f!@#@!@# yours.

Hi AC,

Yes typical, "updates" last time I did that this site wont open on my phone.

BTW, you will need to report to the government 'Centre For Education Re-Assignment and Though Transference' (CERT for short). Where following robotic examination you will be assessed by a government appointed AI Bot for "Purity Of Thought Evaluation" If you should fail to meet the required standard as outlined in Article 1 of the 'Peoples Proper Thought Process Manual' (Classified) you will be "medically reprogrammed". Don't be alarmed, feel relaxed, as reprogramming is absolutely free, there is no human involvement, and all medical procedures are covered by Medicare.

Hi AC,

For some Google is their doctor, lawyer, confidant, spiritual adviser, confessor and indeed best friend! Unfortunately only 95% of the population are in a state of "Google Ecstasy". The truculent non conforming 5% with their radical ideas of "free thought nonsense" will require medical intervention. Fortunately the government has available a huge supply of certain mind altering drugs, developed in North Korea (and fully tested on human guinea pigs), to alleviate this very problem, and they will correct these abnormalities. Please don't be concerned or alarmed, they are covered by the PBS, and are free to children, pensioners, pregnant women and certain farm animals.
