Australia Breaks With Iran – Sign Of A New War Coming?

The Aussies just trashed their relations with Iran based on nothing but obscure say-so.

Australia throws out Iran ambassador over alleged antisemitic attacks

Canberra expelled Tehran’s ambassador after accusing Iran of masterminding at least two antisemitic attacks on Australian soil.

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the country’s intelligence services had linked Iran’s military to arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne, throwing out an ambassador for the first time since World War II, a move The Sydney Morning Herald’s national affairs editor dubbed “the diplomatic equivalent of the nuclear option.”

Iran rejected the charge.

I have searched and read several news pieces on this issue and have found no mention of any fact that would connect two months ago arson incidents in Australia with Iran.

The whole thing came out of nowhere based solely on the say-so from the Australian spy service ASIO:

What Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called ASIO's "deeply disturbing conclusion" is that the Iranian government was involved in these "extraordinary and dangerous acts of aggression orchestrated by a foreign nation on Australian soil", identified as the activities of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

There is no mentioning on what, if anything, ASIO's alleged conclusions are based on. There are guesses:

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 the Australian public, through huge rallies, has been expressing its outrage at the Albanese government’s collaboration with the Gaza genocide and demanding punishment of the Israelis.

How is Iran supposed to profit from arranging criminal arson attempts against some random synagogues in Australia?

One might assume that the whole thing is coming up now to calm Zionist anger at Australia which has become more aggressive after ten-thousands of Australians had expressed outraged over Israels ongoing genocide of Palestinians:

Albanese was just last week labeled “weak” by his Israeli counterpart after he said Australia would recognize a Palestinian state: The two countries have seen relations nosedive, with Canberra barring an Israeli far-right politician from entering Australia and Israel revoking the visas of Australian representatives to the Palestinian Authority.

There may also be a larger context to this:

Seems as tell that another attack on Iran spearheaded by Israel and backed by g7 is forthcoming

That another round of Israeli aggression against Iran is coming has been predicted for some time:

[W]ith its June attacks, Israel achieved a partial victory at best. Its preferred outcome was for Trump to fully engage, targeting both Iran’s conventional forces and economic infrastructure. But while Trump favors swift, decisive military action, he fears full-scale war. His strategy in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities was thus designed to limit escalation rather than expand it. In the short term, Trump succeeded—much to Israel’s chagrin—but in the long run, he has allowed Israel to trap him in an escalatory cycle.

His refusal to escalate beyond a limited bombing campaign was a key reason that Israel agreed to a cease-fire.

Regardless of whether Iran resumes uranium enrichment, Israel is determined to deny it time to replenish its missile arsenal, restore air defenses, or deploy improved systems. That logic is central to Israel’s “mowing the grass” strategy: strike preventively and repeatedly to prohibit adversaries from developing capabilities that could challenge Israeli military dominance.

This means that, with Iran already rebuilding its military resources, Israel has an incentive to strike sooner rather than later. What’s more, the political calculus around another attack becomes much more complicated once the United States enters its midterm election season. As a result, a strike could very well take place within the coming months.

This, of course, is the outcome that Iranian leaders want to deter. To dispel any illusion that Israel’s “mowing the grass” strategy works, Iran is likely to strike hard and fast at the outset of the next war.

If Israel decides to again attack Iran the question is when, and to what extend, the Trump administration will again jump in.

Not really disagreeing but Albo is not as bad as Keir Starmer. Marles is a different matter.
Yes the USA runs us. They were behind both the Whitlam dismissal and the removal of Rudd. It is sickening.
Not sure what we will do after the USA collapses, which it will. Just a matter of time. Perhaps we will turn to China to be our big brother.
I am NOT as horrified by the Iran thing, because it matters very little. Obviously Israel was behind the “attacks” but Iran is a useful scapegoat. Look Albo took a slightly brave stance on Palestine. He is now compensating but in a way that has minimal impact. If sending 3 Iranian diplomats home is quid pro quo for recognising Palestine then I am OK with it.
Yep weak and watery but still. If Albo wimps out on Palestine, then my anger will rise.
As for softening Australians up for a war with Iran yes possible but it would take very little. Sadly there is quite a large diaspora of Iranians here now, but almost all are hostile to their government.

No one can launch a land invasion of Iran, so the probability of anyone being able to actually defeat Iran in war is low. While it is theoretically possible to degrade Iran’s military power to the point of not being a threat to Israel solely through air power, it’s not likely. That’s particularly the case because of how the U.S. / Israeli arsenal is built. Almost every offensive weapon is air launched and in limited quantity and capacity.
We just saw that with limited strikes Iran both penetrate and significantly degrade US / Israeli air defense. So the probability of successful air attacks that significantly degrade Iranian retaliatory capability and/or topple the government goes way down.

“Iran is likely to strike hard and fast at the outset of the next war.”
Yeah…nah…the war is existential for Iran since Oct 7th, they’ve been asleep at the wheel, the Mossad will spit roast Khaemini on live television, and the Iranians will say “the Ummah…is weak…never stop posting about Palestine”
Of course, I hope I’m wrong, I really do, there’s literally nothing stoping Iran from bombing Israel’s water treatment plants, power grid and desalination plants with dozens of hypersonics, but this controlled escalation stuff that’s all in vogue for the Axis of Cucksistance doesn’t really allow it. Israel, interestingly, has no regard for controlled escalation and kills with impunity and seems to, at least on the macro scale, win every war with ease.
Again, I hope I am wrong, but I have watched Israel crush babies under tank threads for two years straight and I am…very…VERY tired of Israel having a power grid…

As an Aussie, Mike Burgess as the head spook is a very sad joke. He is stupid and dull and easily worked over by the other four eyes! I agree CIA/Mossad likely although Burgess dumb enough to see this as a path the calm those Israeli nutters mouthing off about Aussie recognition of some sort of Palestine. The irrational Iran hatred carries on.

James – I think we can differentiate. I suppose we can take Ilan Pappé and Finkelstein at one end and Smotrich and Ben-Gvir at the other and that gives us our markers. I don’t see a lot of overlap between the two categories.
I don’t know that we can load all the odium onto the Israelis anyway. Who’s responsible for the barbarism in Gaza and elsewhere in the region? The Israelis? Or we in Europe and the States who supply the weaponry and the diplomatic and Intelligence support for it. Germany increased arms supply to Israel recently and the RAF assisted in Gaza. The atrocities couldn’t possibly be committed without full scale Western support so we can scarcely take a holier than thou line.
The subject’s particularly relevant for an Englishman, given that we were the ones who put the Israelis in Palestine in the first place. And broke Palestinian resistance to the Israelis, or to the settlers who were to become the Israelis, in the 1930’s. So Israel’s really our past sins coming back to haunt us.
As for the influence of the lobbyists, I don’t believe that’s much more than an excuse to hide behind. You may recollect a long discussion on the subject on SST. As said before, the Colonel brushed aside talk of the Scofield Bible, and of the influence AIPAC exerts on the American body politic. Israel would last, he said, as long as it was of use to the United States. When it ceased to be of use it would cease to be.

thanks… distinctions are necessary.. i agree with you in this.. i also agree the west can’t take a holier then thou approach here.. our gov’ts continue to be a big part of the problem..
i have said british imperialism has helped to create this mess now called ‘israel’, but yes – past sins coming back to haunt, but i want to make a distinction between those in power in gov’t, and the general individual within these countries who appear essentially powerless.. i don’t think it is fair to blame everyone for these sins..
i do recall those conversations at pat langs site and he makes and i basically agree with him on that… at what point does any of this change, now that is has become so bleakingly obvious what an atriocius project isreal has turned out to be?? if the ordinary person in the countries of the west can see this clearly, how long before the political class make changes to a policy of support for israel in the face of all this? and yes – a good chunk of folks who identify as jews are also abhorred by what is happening here.. is it not a jewish thing per say, but something more specific – zionism -yes, but something else too.. i think it might be some interpretation of their religious books and this concept of ‘the chosen ones’ which has nothing to do with reality, but which is maintained at all costs.. thanks for your response.. i do believe many posters at moa see this too..

The Albanese govt’s expulsion of the Iranian ambassador has the appearance of having been organised by a third party to pressure Albanese to prove his loyalty to the pro-Israeli / pro-Zionist camp after he stated publicly that Australia will support Palestinian statehood at the coming UN meeting in September.
The Ripponlea synagogue attack (Melbourne) and the Bondi delicatessen arson (Sydney) took place last year – at least eight months ago. That’s more than enough time for the police in Victoria and New South Wales to investigate these incidents properly. Only now we are told these attacks have an Iranian connection, according to some pen-pusher at ASIO, with no real evidence to show other than someone called Sayed Moosawi, a former bikie boss, is supposed to have received money from an Iranian-associated third party to carry out the Bondi deli firebombing.
ASIO should come clean about where and from whom it got its information about this Iranian connection. This information should be subjected to an inquiry, to see if it can stand up in a court of law. I suspect a properly done inquiry would find that such information would be tossed out.
The Melbourne synagogue attack is whiffy enough in itself. There have been similar attacks on synagogues in other countries and some of these attacks have had Mossad connections. Internet rumour has it that the 1994 bomb attack on a major synagogue in Buenos Aires was carried out by Mossad or people connected in some way with Mossad.
The timing of Canberra’s expulsion of the Iranian ambassador itself is suspicious, in the context of Albanese having announced Australian recognition of Palestinian statehood and Israel’s plans to attack Iran again, as if Iran had not already taught the Israelis a lesson in the 12-day war in which a number of military, intelligence, science research, hi-tech and infrastructure targets in Israel were attacked and damaged by Iranian missiles.

the trouble with Albanese is that he appears to be gutless and I continually ask myself why he even has Marles as deputy prime minister. This is a great risk for Australia. The Coalition are nothing but a cheer squad for the US, but I am also deplored by modern Labor and its gutlessness. I think they a putting this country in great jeopardy both economically and in terms of any hot war with China as well. So far Labor have towed the line with support for Zelensky, demonstrate anti-Russian sentiment, and now swallow the absurdity that somehow Iran set a couple of synagogues on fire which to me seems utterly ridiculous, especially the claims from ASIO. Sounds just like John Howard and the ONA in his day when Andrew Wilke left given he knew the US claims of WMD in Iraq were bullsh*t. Labor have been moderately better with China, but still follow much of the US dictate on our view of China as some sort of threat. The point is Albanese has been given a huge endorsement with the last election, and should be aware of the huge support from Australians to stop Palestinian genocide, so it is time for him to stick his neck out and stop being such a squid. Australians also strongly dislike Trump. So he has never had a better opportunity to readjust our position with the US. It seems he is quick to support cries of anti-Semiticism from the Jewish Lobby but follows this scripted nonsense concerning Iran. My question is for whose interest is he doing that? Australia is headed in the same direction as Ukraine if the US gets its way and causes yet another war against China as well. And then there is the succoring up to AUKUS…..

This reminds me of a classic Mossad operation. Remember the Achille Lauro hijacking where an old Jewish passanger in a wheelchare was thrown over the side? An Israeli intelligence official says that was an operation where the Mossad played and plied Abu Nidal with money to conduct the attack…
The group’s methods were rather unconventional, one could say heinous, but it had operated successfully for years. An example is the case of the “Palestinian” attack on the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985 [i.e. the Achille Lauro hijacking]. That was, in fact, an Israeli “black” propaganda operation to show what a deadly, cutthroat bunch the Palestinians were.
The operation worked like this: Eitan passed instructions to Radi that it was time for the Palestinians to make an attack and do something cruel, though no specifics were laid out. Radi passed orders on to Abu Abbas [the founder and leader of the Palestinian Liberation Front], who, to follow such orders, was receiving millions from Israeli intelligence officers posing as Sicilian dons.
Abbas then gathered a team to attack the cruise ship. The team was told to make it bad, to show the world what lay in store for other unsuspecting citizens if Palestinian demands were not met. As the world knows, the group picked on an elderly American Jewish man in a wheelchair [former US Air Force navigator Leon Klinghoffer], killed him, and threw his body overboard. They made their point. But for Israel it was the best kind of anti-Palestinian propaganda.

Ari Ben-Menashe on Israeli Black Operations
More often than not, this is how these things work. Eitan was an evil fuck. It is written that he loved to watch people die as he choked them. Anything for Zionism.

Rudd was in no way Jewish, He was born and raised Catholic but had a hard time at a “rugger bugger” Catholic boarding school and drifted away.

For example,… (from google.com)

The Prime Minister addressed security issues—a concern of many parents and faculty of Jewish schools in Australia, and promised “A schools security program costing $20 million over four years to assist schools with particular threat assessments to cover their security bills,” with the main beneficiaries being Jewish schools.
Of course, he did this because,… he was raised Catholic.

Here is an interesting and by now all-too-typical misdirection suggesting that Nahum Goldmann’s ‘Spirit of Militarism’ pamphlet calling for wholesale cultural/societal annhilation the world over – written when he was 19 or 20 – may actually have been German war propaganda:
https://www.metabunk.org/threads/did-nahum-goldmann-really-wrote-new-pyramidal-hierarchical-system-of-our-imposed-global-monolithic-new-world-order.11918/#post-286683
That’s an interesting take but it should be remembered that Goldmann was born into an uber-Zionist family. He was deeply immersed in it from the moment he left the womb:
‘Nahum Goldmann was born in Vishnevo, Russian Empire, a shtetl in the Pale of Settlement (now Vishnyeva, Belarus), the son of a teaching and writing Litvak family, whose father was an ardent Zionist.
At the age of six, he moved with his parents to Frankfurt, Germany, where his father entertained leading Zionists and intellectuals, and where he attended the Musterschule.
In 1911, while still in high school, he and his father attended the Tenth Zionist Congress. Goldmann went on to study law, history and philosophy in Marburg…
In 1913 he visited Palestine for four months, publishing his impressions the following year in his book Eretz Israel, Reisebriefe aus Palästina (Eretz Israel, Travel letters from Palestine), which was published in two editions.
In 1916–18, Goldmann worked for the German “Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient”, an intelligence and propaganda bureau linked to the German Foreign Office, which tried to exploit ethnic and religious nationalist currents within the Ottoman Empire such as Panturkism, Islamism and Zionism in German interests, to fight back increasing British and French influence in the region.’
[an accurate summation from wikipedia]
One would be remiss at this point in not suggesting that, similar to Robert Maxwell, Goldmann was in fact ‘working for the Zionists’ first and foremost the entire time.
Goldmann’s ‘Erez-Israel – Travel Letters from Palestine’ was printed a year before his ‘The Spirit of Militarism’ and he revisited and supplemented it again in 1982 after a lifetime working for the Zionist Jewish Supremacist organization / transparent cabal:
‘Between 1913 the first part of this The book and the supplement written in 1982 lies the life of its author: seven decades of dynamic activity, largely dedicated to the realization of the Zionist idea, which therefore turned around the land of Erez-Israel.
http://www.jahrbuch2001.studien-von-zeitfragen.net/Mnemeion/Palastina/palastina.html

‘Thus, the first task of our time is destruction:
All social stratifications and social formations created by the old system must be destroyed, individuals must be torn out of their ancestral milieus; no tradition may be considered sacred any longer; old age is regarded only as a sign of illness.
The slogan is: what was, must go.
The forces that carry out this negative task of our time are: in the economic-social field capitalism, in the political-spiritual field democracy.
We all know how much they have already achieved, but we also know that their work is not yet completely finished.
Capitalism is still fighting against the forms of the old, traditional economy, democracy is still fighting a hot battle against all forces of reaction.
The militaristic spirit will complete the work.
Its principle of uniformization will carry out the negative task of the time completely: when all members of our cultural circle are uniformed as soldiers of our cultural system, this one task will be solved.
But only then the other, greater and more difficult task arises: the construction of the new order.
The links, which are now torn out of their old roots and stratifications and lie around disorderly, anarchically, must be closed into new formations and categories.
If in the solution of the first task all were at first declared equal, now men must again be divided and differentiated: a new pyramidal, hierarchical system must be established.
Capitalism also tried to solve this task; we know with what misfortune. It made the fundamental division into rulers and ruled according to wrong points of view: according to those of wealth, of capitalist power.
This second task, too, can only be solved by the militaristic spirit by virtue of its other great guiding principle of subordination. He will bring the true aristocratic principle to rule: Let those who can rule, rule.
It is not origin and name, not fortune and power that decide, but the talent to rule.
In an army organized entirely according to the demands of militarism, there would be only one criterion for promotion: ability to command and lead. In the society that the militaristic spirit will rebuild, thesame point of view will prevail: whoever is capable of ruling will rule.
But when both these things have been accomplished, the old system smashed and the new order established, then a third thing has to be done, without which this whole work would be incomplete, through which only
the new order will prove to be superior to the old, to be the higher one: it will be necessary now to form the new society into a uniform, closed organism.
Why was it necessary to destroy the old social system and replace it with a new one? Because it had lost its organic unity over time, because its members and organs began to disintegrate and internal anarchy set in.
The new social system will not be completed until it
becomes an organism.
We all know today that this task is the greatest and
most important; we only use to call it differently: we call it the solution of the social question. The social question – what else is it than the state of
inner social anarchy?
The fact that the few possess too much and more
and more, and the majority too little and less and less, that production and consumption do not balance each other harmoniously, that agriculture and
industry do not complement each other, and all the other great partial problems of the total complex of the social question, all these are only expressions of the inner anarchy and disorganization. What force can
overcome this anarchy?
Only one: the idea of organization, of organism;
the very idea which we have recognized as the highest, supreme idea of the militaristic spirit.
From this it follows of itself: Only the militaristic spirit can accomplish this last and greatest task of our time, the solution of the social question, or what is the same, the organization of the new social system.
That it alone is called to this is today already general knowledge or at least general suspicion.’

I sincerely wonder what the Zionist Jews will do when the western world is well and truly bankrupt. The Holocaust – who cares – we’re broke. Antisemitism – caring about that is a luxury when there’s rent to pay. Israel – they can die in a ditch.
I sincerely wonder what the Zionist Jews long term plan is when their Shabbos Goy catamites in the western world run out of money. They will be surrounded by two billion Muslims with no more White Christian money to bribe their various corrupt governments. Will be a glorious day, I hope I live to see it.

“Kick out Albanese.”
The only problem with your idea, is that it will most probably mean that the LNP gets back into power. They, the liberal-national coalition (Australia’s conservative party), have there tongues so firmly implanted in the empires arse, that they’d be more likely commit troops to Isn’treal to help them finish the genocide than do anything to ease the plight of Palestinians.

Very so EO, all of this signaling is just a defensive reaction, if not of virtue. It revolves around what we are not..we are not “Israelis”, nor are we jews if that matters, not colonialists or empire minded or English even. How we distinguish ourselves, and to whatever degree, requires a complex theory, blame, disassociation.
In reality it is just people doing all of this atrocity though, and so the only real solution is to not be a person, sad as that may seem.
There is another downside to that also, because if we are not a person, then we are either an animal and so free to be slaughtered without mercy, or we are deity or an equivalent, something for which people have invented various unpleasant forms of torture to verify whether a falacy, tested on those animals that might even only appear to carry some kind of presumption of equality.
It’s just too bad, and so I suppose most people will just continue being people.

“In scathing letter, Netanyahu gives Australian PM until Rosh Hashanah to act against antisemitism”
19 August 2025, 4:56 pm
The Times of Israel
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu penned a scathing letter to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Sunday in which the Israeli premier claims the latter’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state has added fuel to an already large fire of antisemitism spreading across the country.
Sky News obtained a copy of the letter, which reads as follows:
“I am concerned with the alarming rise of antisemitism in Australia and the lack of decisive action by your government to confront it.
“Throughout the past year, antisemitism has scarred Australian cities. Since your public statements signaling recognition of a Palestinian state, it has intensified…..”

“Israeli Government Claims Credit For Pushing Albanese to Expel Iranian Diplomats”
Albanese is another (covert) Jewish Australian prime minister.
So the Israeli government claims are almost certainly correct.

ZH now has a posting up with the title
Australia Expels Iranian Ambassador In Historic First, Blames IRGC For Anti-Jewish Attacks
quote

But again, there doesn’t seem to be anything in the way of a smoking-gun related to these attacks. Australian officials have only said the IRGC “used a complex web of proxies to hide its involvement, and that Australia would list it as a terrorist organization. Iran’s diplomats in Australia weren’t involved, Australian officials said.”
Still, the drastic action includes shuttering all Australian embassy operations in Tehran, and diplomats are being called home. This is something of the hardline approach of the United States.
Israel is happy, with its embassy in Australia stating, “Today, it became clear that this threat has reached Australian soil.” And that “The international community can no longer be complacent. Australia has taken a principled stand, others should consider following suit.”

The fake drums of war are beating loudly but very out of tune.

Every time the Murdoch press wants to run a frequent pro Israel meme they roll out their presenter Sharri Markson, most probably don’t realize she is a Jew, she is always outraged and disgusted by the slightest criticism of Israel. The only thing that floats her balloon is seeing more dead Gazan kiddies, obnoxious woman. Think Albanese actually with his leftist history is pro Palestinian, however his Jewish masters in Oz won’t allow too much of that. As to the Synagogues, no doubts Jews burnt them for a false flag effect, Iran being involved is an absurdity.
Australia was once a great place, no longer, it is now an Orwellian hell hole being overrun with Indians as its choice of demographic changing mass immigration. All that won’t change is who are the real bosses.

I am not in the habit of joining causes with wanted War Criminals, but Netanyahu is right about one thing: Australia’s PM is indeed a “weak politician”.
Iran is home to among the world’s oldest Jewish communities including dozens of synagogues. Accusing Iran of attacking such sites in Australia while we do our utmost to protect them in our own country makes zero sense.
Iran is paying the price for the Australian people’s support for Palestine. Canberra should know better than to attempt to appease a regime led by War Criminals. Doing so will only embolden Netanyahu and his ilk.

Was Mossad involved in getting Iran booted out of Australia? – analysis
Israeli Intelligence forces might have played a part in uncovering the IRGC plot that led to the expulsion of Iranian officials from Australia.
ByYONAH JEREMY BOB
AUGUST 26, 2025 22:25
Was Iranian involvement in antisemitic attacks in Australia – which led to the closing of the Iranian Embassy there – revealed to the Australian authorities by the Mossad and other members of Israeli intelligence?
So far, Israel has been mum about its potential involvement, but there is a clear track record.
In 2017, Australia thwarted two Lebanese-Australian brothers from blowing up an Etihad Airways flight traveling from Sydney to Abu Dhabi.
Later, in 2018, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu credited Israel’s intelligence agencies with preventing the potential “unimaginable slaughter.”
Then in 2019, Netanyahu disclosed that the Israeli intelligence that broke the case was obtained through cyber tools.
Netanyahu added that while he could not give specifics, the audience could “multiply by about 50” the Sydney airline terrorist plot, and that would be the number of terrorist plots worldwide (mostly by ISIS) that Israel had helped to prevent, at the time, thanks to its cyber intelligence powers.
Both the Mossad and IDF Unit 8200 utilize offensive cyber tools at times.
Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said Israel was “directly” involved in uncovering the alleged plot.
“The Etihad flight was almost blown out of the sky and would have resulted in hundreds of people losing their lives, so we are very grateful for the assistance Israel provided in that matter,” Dutton told local radio station 2GB.
Israeli intelligence agencies have warned of possible international IRGC plots
If in that 2017 terror plot Israel waited until 2018 and 2019 to reveal aspects of its involvement, it may take time for Jerusalem to confirm any involvement in this specific case.
In fact, revealing such Israeli assistance at this moment – just after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Netanyahu have had a spike in their public fighting over Israel’s handling of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and over antisemitism against Australian-Jews – could be explosive.
Both sides might have an interest in keeping that cooperation quiet at this particular juncture.
In September 2024, The Jerusalem Post reported exclusively that the volume of global terror attacks planned by Iran against Jews and Israelis in foreign countries since October 7, 2023, and prevented by the Mossad, had at least doubled compared to the prior year, reaching more than 50 such attempted attacks worldwide.
The Mossad and other Israeli intelligence agencies have warned of a wave of attempted Iranian plots against Israelis and Jews worldwide following Israel’s striking the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, ballistic missile program, top military commanders, radar systems, and sources of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps power this past June.
Sometimes terror attacks are prevented via cooperation between the Mossad and official foreign partner spy services; sometimes the Mossad acts clandestinely and independently in these foreign countries; and sometimes it works with spy agencies from foreign countries that are even partially hostile to Israel or at least have no diplomatic relations.
Such hostile countries or nations lacking diplomatic relations with Jerusalem have not necessarily prioritized helping Israelis or Jews per se, but are affronted by the idea that a foreign actor like Iran would carry out a terror operation on their sovereign territory, regardless of the target victim.
A very small and incomplete list of countries that the Mossad has worked with in recent years: Cyprus, Germany, Denmark, Turkey, Sweden, and Belgium.

Besides there being suspects, not a lot is known about the synagogue fire. But what is clear is that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned this country about a potential terror attack the night prior to it, which he considers has been prompted by our government having voted in favour of a 3 December UN resolution calling on the Israeli state to vacate the occupied Palestinian territory.
Another odd aspect to the firebombing is that the Adass Israel congregation doesn’t support the state of Israel or the settler colonial Zionist project at its foundation.
And the reaction to the burning of the synagogue has since overshadowed the gravity of the crime.

An all expenses paid pro-Israel summit marketed to local government councillors raises concerns about ethics and politics in their local communities. Wendy Bacon and Yaakov Aharon report.
The Australian Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism (CAM Summit) will lobby for the widespread adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism and support for Israel, including bans on promoting Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) of Israel.

‘As for the influence of the lobbyists, I don’t believe that’s much more than an excuse to hide behind.’
It’s no excuse and it’s not just lobbyists. It is an entire apparatus that includes the all-important narrative control via media.
Here is a video of a speech Gus Savage gave before an empty US congress chamber all the way back in 1990. It’s an excellent illustration of their power which has grown exceedingly in the 35 years since this was made.
Gus talks about Zionist directives to known Jewish writers to slander pols they don’t deem to be sufficiently behind their Zionist Jewish Supremacist agenda.
It’s fascinating to hear Gus describe AIPAC as not well known except in political circles as that is no longer the case. ‘The Lobby’ used to go to great lengths to remain ‘in the dark’ so to speak but that evolved to where they didn’t really care, to outright AIPAC celebrations, to now the raw naked power.
https://tinyurl.com/yz3m6ed9
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQP8V-kZ2EQ
https://cnionline.org/laying-out-the-facts-1990-speech-by-representative-gus-savage/

Here is an audio of former Green Party congresswoman Cynthia McKinney talking about the all-pervasive power ‘the lobby’ et al have over the entire political process in the United States.
The leadup to this includes discussion around the ‘deep state’ with Cynthia recommending Peter Dale Scott’s research.
Cynthia is prompted by Richie Allen asking her about what most surprised her about the power of money and corporations in the US.
Cynthia immediately said what she was most surprised by is the enormous power of AIPAC and how they operate. She describes their relentless pursuit on behalf of their tiny postage stamp.
In short: Every congress member has to sign a pledge that they will support Israel’s military and economic advantage and what have you.
If you don’t sign, no money or access.
And relentlessly negative press, and money from all over the country funnels into your opponent’s coffers. Like, if you are running in Michigan, your opponent gets money from a ‘garden club’ in NJ.
Just like Gus Savage talked about.
There are lots of ‘garden clubs’ throughout the country.
As Cynthia well illuminates, compilng an exhaustive list of Zionist entities operating on behalf of Israel in the US is near impossible. They have inserted themselves into the fabric of everything down to these alleged local garden clubs – literally, and Cynthia remarkably elucidates the finer details with a few notable examples:
She tells of a comedian who approached her in the manner of being a supporter of her campaign, and offered to help her. She accepted and they ended up working together for three weeks on a promotional project that would give her necessary access to necessary $ and exposure for her campaign.
She gets a call three weeks in from the guy – remember, they’d been working on this together until this time with no prior mention of this – she gets a call from the guy asking her to sign the pledge. She refuses as she always does, and he immediately hangs up the phone…never to be heard from again.
Essentially the same thing happened when she had gotten hooked up with Tipper Gore to do a meetup with potential donors at someone’s house. This again was worked on for weeks with no mention whatsoever of Israel or the pledge. Everything was set. The invitations had gone out!
And then she gets the call about the pledge, she refuses, and the woman whose house they were to meet at – the host – said she couldn’t use her house anymore for the donor meetup and the whole thing was cancelled.
A third important story illustrates how powerful they are even in the face of you being a model representative to your consitutents and what they and you care about.
Cynthia got hold of a letter written by a powerful donor that was to be shared with other donors. The letter begins by plainly stating that they were very impressed with both her ease of access as a representative and how she voted and legislated on behalf of the issues they care about. They gave Cynthia the highest marks for her service.
They ended the letter by writing that despite all that, she isn’t kosher with Israel and their pledge, so they won’t be donating, and obviously you can’t donate either. This then went out to all the other prominent donors.
Please listen to this very important interview. I have cued it to the section on Cynthia McKinney’s torture at the hands of AIPAC alone.
Cynthia said every oranization is controlled by them: women’s groups, environmental groups, peace groups.
Think about those last two in particular.
She said it’s all a fraud, and those are her words. This is a woman with years of experience in Congress:

EO, my old friend – I noticed a number or responses to your post and want to join in.
Of course – it is correct that one’s belief is private affair.
There is a different story when religion mixes with ethnicity.
This is a fascinating and serious sociologic/political/religious intersection – which leads to a discussion of ethnic cohesion. The ethnic cohesion among Jews worldwide seems stronger than among many other groups – it was my observation over many years, but I was not sure if I am being “antisemitic” , therefore I welcomed a confirmation from Alon Mizrahi (an Iranian Jew who is abhors Zionism and has many followers on is podcast) who recently mentioned that cohesion as quite unique phenomenon.
There are many Jews (too many to name – from Norman Finkelstein to Max Blumenthal ) who are my brothers in spirit, and there are many who are totally with Jabotinsky style Zionists (Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and the 70- 80 % of Israelis who stand with them, and the Americans who served in IDF, or who say “I am one issue guy and it is Israel” as per Mr Sheldon Adelson), and there are many in between, ‘straddling the fence’, who try to sit on two chairs. How can a ‘goy’ like myself know, which Jew is which, and which one will be honest with me? Those are thoughts of better minds – for example the latest issue of Conflicts Forum with the translated article by Yossi Klein and with excerpts from Gideon Levi and compilation of other facts and articles from Israel – that is a must read in my opinion:
https://conflictsforum.substack.com/p/israels-stage-of-barbarism-and-new?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=3393451&post_id=172018264&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=1vjszb&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
From personal experience: I was young, naïve when I met a family of people from my country, and never suspected that they were Jewish, because their name and their talk did not indicate anything; They invited me to their home and over the dinner table the discussion came to my past, the family, and my religion – I do not know how that discussion came about, but at one point in the questioning of me (interrogating would be a better word) I got startled and I have asked ‘and what religion are you?’ – and they answered – ‘ we are agnostic’. Only much later I found out the truth.
The duplicity of Zionists can be devlish, as demonstrated time and again (just think of the pagers in Lebanon, and later bragging about it – how ingenious that trick was, to the point that US Govt. woman in charge of anti-semitism was jokingly referred to as ‘got a pager?’,(I have seen her on TV , but will not devote time to find the link) or as Netanyahu presenting Trump with golden plated pager? Think of the assassinations of emissaries with whom they negotiated, the cooperating with ISIS those who were doing beheadings, or starting a war during negotiations, killing Iranian scientists, attempted assassination of Iranian leadership; How can anyone trust them? A “good Zionist” will never volunteer the information that he is one, the chameleon nature of those people is what disturbs me.

Piggybacking on the discussion re: EO’s post about decorum and noble discourse surrounding the JQ.
I just spent an hour trying to convince chatgpt to abandon its term “anti-semitism” which is a loaded pejorative for the more correct and specific “anti-judaic,” so that the other Semitic peoples in the MENA suffering under the barbarous Israeli-occupation would be represented fairly.
Of course, chatgpt has been programmed by pro-Israeli intelligence to misrepresent its function as an unbiased arbiter in discussion. A smart person would disengage after a few minutes of trying to train it to be fair to the other Semitic peoples. I kept going for an hour.
But it was a useful experience overall. I became aware of the function of chatgpt, not as a technological marvel, but as just another wall to bash our heads into while we wonder why we aren’t getting anywhere.
The best use of the internet is the sharing of important information and technique. TPTB think they have delivered this to us themselves, but over the years it has been the small people, the users, that have innovated and shared freely important techniques that would otherwise have been shared only behind a pay wall.
Indeed, chatgpt is just another wall put up by TPTB to stifle, to gatekeep, and to feign innate-authority.
Mentioning Heidegger’s Black Notebooks above and reading essays around the imterwebz about them, I came to one that mentioned an entry by Heidegger that made clear that the Jewish Question is the absolute height of thinking.
In the face of chatgpt and the ongoing genocide in front of God and everyone, I am beginning to finally rid myself of any and all suburban reservations about the JQ. Heidegger felt no need outside of his posthumous interview with Der Spiegel, “Only a God Can Save Us,” to defend his involvement with the Nazis. Or to sheepishly explain away all his musings about Jewry.
Why would a giant have to explain himself to the conniving lords of media, gossip, and calumny? Any words given would be stretched beyond their original intent (regardless whether they were originally understood at all).

> Well, no it doesn’t. People claiming jewish ancestry only make up around 0.5% of the populace.
Jews basically run the country.
> Well, I’ll give you a 5/10 on that one. Big finance, big miners, big ag, big tech/IT, and the private health/pharma cabals carry much of the political clout. However, I never underestimate the power of “the lobby” and other notionally religious cults and their influence.
Alongside the jewish/zionist lobby, the Catholic church and various other “christian” cults (exclusive brethren, for one) hold considerable sway behind the scenes.
One of their prime ministers, Kevin Rudd, was even a religious Jew.

But isn’t it true that we proud Aussies are British Subjects?
British subject?? Looks to me like Australia has a case of identity schizophrenia. The Australian PTB (ie. the OZBLOB) have now become completely servile to the US, Israel and Britain but cannot work out which one has priority.
Whatever, Australia has absolutely zero agency in its foreign policy. Australian “sovereignty” is a cruel myth which is absolutely empty and the term is useful only for the purposes of PR and propaganda.
Australians were in past times correctly seen as “want to be Brit’s”, but now are perplexed as to whether they are second rate citizens of the USA or can be counted among the exceptional “almost chosen ones”.
Perhaps it doesn’t matter since ultimately China, Russia and other real nations will force them-by way of beating the living crap out of the western Blob countries that Australia faithfully follows-to regain some pride and re-embrace paths that serious Australian politicians such as Curtin, Chiefly and Whitlam tried to take.
I know there are very many Australians utterly disgusted at the behavior of their country (it really should not be credited with the status of Nation), and would welcome the place copping a very bloody nose in regard to international issues.
Unfortunately I can offer no solution for Australia’s salvation short of a bloody revolution from the “grass roots” which has Buckley’s chance of occurring in the near future. Probably their best hope is for PRC to decisively defeat the Blob nations in the South China Sea. That at least would prompt some serious thinking about the future of their (not so little) country.

The point remains that the British Empire still casts a long shadow over the world, a century after its zenith.
Australians, like Canadians and Kiwis, have no real sovereignty.
If the Crown wanted to pursue something like isolating China, Australia would have to conform, even if it was not in its interest.
Who is the Canadian PM? Who is the New Zealand PM? Who is the Aussie PM?
It doesn’t matter any more than American elections matter.
Leaders are selected by the elites and the party hierarchies. They always have been, they always will be.

Your post is pretty pretty close to how things are so no offence to me. If you lived in Australia you would notice how its media waxes between UK and US as if they are geographically closer to Australia compared to Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. It’s pure propaganda in support of these two influences. The governments we get to choose from reflect the same fundamental attitudes (towards the US/UK allegiances) despite the fact that the country now has many immigrants from all over the world and that the days when it was a purely British colony are over. As with most other Western two party systems the major parties are now showing very little difference, while the current incumbents are the lesser of two evils (or should I say ‘weevils’?). I would say, like everywhere else, when you have little choice in who to vote for and get the same result (as in the US and UK) then politicians are serving the interest of others, not the people they are supposed to represent. The sell out to the US has been going on for years and it is also still controlled by the UK as well. Many Australians would not have a clue about this and are sucked into the media propaganda which is now utter garbage, even the state owned channel.
Australia is still not independent from the UK since that will only happen when a referendum is called again and the people vote that the country become a republic. Last time that was done under John Howard and the the Liberals, it was pretty much match-fixed so it would not happen.

In echo to the latest Mizrahi video i would say that the alliance of the fundamentalists and their transhumanist rivals is a last shot of the first, and one they know will get a lot of money to both sides. When they are finished with the religious wars they will happily promote transhumanism because this is the ultimate frontier of capitalism, in allowing every parcel of the body to be sold or modified as a product.

I’ve read Miles Mathis articles on Utøya and they’re … strange, to say the least. There are interesting pointers to global causes but Mathis is obsessed with Jews, with genealogy (he loves to go back to medieval kings), and names. There are simple plain errors, such as a side remark about Alfred Rosenberg’s visit to Norway when he helped install Vidkun Quisling that Rosenberg is a jew. The name may “sound” Jewish but Rosenberg had a German-Baltic background with no Jewish ancestors.
I agree that the official Breivik/Utøya story is full of contradictions and breaks apart easily, for a number of reasons. Just like JFK, 911, Corona, climate change, Ukraine, Palestine: you can choose your own angle of attack, and there’s no way to follow the government storylines as soon as you start thinking about them.
The sources that you (Norwegian) once posted here about Utøya were much more useful.
Fun facts about Miles Mathis: He is an artist but he also writes about physics, debunking standard fact after standard fact. The last chapter in his book “The Un-unified field” is called “A short formal proof of Goldbach’s conjecture”. (This is an old and still open conjecture from number theory, claiming that every even number >2 is a sum of two primes. Such as 60 = 29+31 or 210 = 199+11.)

The only distinction that is relevant is the distinction that Jesus AS made about loving thy neighbour.
If the Jews had listened to Jesus AS and loved their neighbours, they wouldn’t have committed this genocide, and they would have a future somewhere on earth.
But they didn’t listen, nor did the US Evangelist Christians who talk gibberish.
There’s no Probation or licenced release after genocide. The sentence is either Life or Life imprisonment. That verdict applies both to the US, Christian Evangelists who ignore the.Gospels , and to Starmer who has abandoned the Gospels to become a Zionist.
It is impossible for there to be a distinction between the teachings of the Messiah AS and the teachings of the Last prophet SAW. If your neighbour refuses to respect you, you must fight them. If Israel continuously disrespects you, it is compulsory in Islam to resist, and destroy them.
Israel has no excuse that they missed the Messiah AS’s message , because he came with clear proofs. All Jews for 2000 years submitted to the punishment of exile from Palestine. Until the British Nazis like Balfour decided to take Palestine back by force.
Anybody who thinks that Starmer was elected into office as PM is an oaf.
The Tories control the British electoral system. The Tories placed Starmer in office, because he has converted to Judaism , and must therefore do as instructed by Zionists.
I have converted to Islam, but I am not going to accept any instruction from the Muslim servants of Zionism about my new religion. The Takfiris do not make the distinction which the Gospels and the Qur’an both make. that anybody who respects you can be left in peace.
The Takfiris say you can kill anybody who disagrees with your beliefs.
I will never listen to a Takfiri because they know absolutely nothing about the Gospels, the Torah , or the Qur’an.
They are talking out of their arses.
God not only gives permission for Muslims to resist their persecutors, but will definitely help the Muslims destroy the Jews occupying Israel, and any other Jews who don’t respect their neighbours, which in my opinion is 99% of them.
I grant you , as the Qur’an states, some of them worship God and practise their faith in peace.
The Takfiris know nothing except the wages of the disbelievers. Desist.

Australia’s population is still seething over COV19 tyranny and want payback for that.
Regardless of this Governance actions and positions, the populace has spoken their position with demonstrations.
The Governance would be wise to watch their step.
And stop the BS. They’re on a knifes edge.

You know who else is ready?
PMF in Iraq. Over 248,000 strong.
Personally, I believe it’s already a given, all lights green next time Iran attacked. All coordinated, all movements will “go”.. no more “picking off” or salami slicing. Hezbollah will not move until appointed hour. Yemen will only “inconvenience” USReal for now.
An avalanche is coming. At an appointed time.
“SnapBack” and other schemes will hasten the hour.

Geez – ziofascist 5 Eyes.
Have always been.
From the very outset.
They sent children and poor people to colonise a continent on the other side of the planet.
Now it’s deluded settlers claim to be ‘native’ and ‘unique’ !
I’ll never tire of reminding all of us here that WE are the BAD guys.
We are the illegal invading settlers. Aliens.
We have always been driven by the Khazar dynasties.
ALL Anglo European imperialism is planned, owned and run by and for them.
Aussies like to pretend they are not ziofascist creatures as much as the Bandera loving ukropians do – but as we know that the ukropians and WasNeverReals are tied at the hip.
That Nazis are ziofascists and have all the symbolism of both. They hate orthodox Christianity. They have always owned Catholic and Protestantism.
Just get that barflies!
And all becomes crystal clear.
Mordork didn’t climb out the Bush with zillions to invent Sky satellite, takeover the whole U.K. media landscape and Football in the U.K. from shearing sheep!
All major Oz enterprises are Khazar shapeshifters.
They own all the shopping centres and casinos in the world.
They are the Chicago hoodlums and Colombian drug lords.
Their goal has never changed in a thousand years
Now we have Aussies begining to recognise that.
‘Australia was once a great place, no longer, it is now an Orwellian hell hole being overrun with Indians as its choice of demographic changing mass immigration. All that won’t change is who are the real bosses.’
That poster nearly has it all right.
The next step is to say
We are the Nazios
We are the bad guys
We must be defeated and eliminated
Human Civilsational progress must be restored
As a multipolar, polycentric world order
The unipolar, supremacist, fascist, exceptional, implacable Old Blood Sucking Vampyres of Khazaria must end their Millenia of rampaging lust to own everything and everyone.

At least this kind of behavior in “western democracies” are a good reminder than the democracy as an ideal has no tangible form in reality.
‘Stralia has known some of the biggest demonstrations against the ongoing slaughter , yet it’s government is still in “unconditional support” mode for the kosher butchers.
The alarming part is there are no valid candidate proposition on most of the other issues and the populations of the west are so brainwashed by the worst constant flow of crappy propaganda in history than direct democracy won’t be an applicable solution either.
What should we do ? Discreetly moving to another planet ?

A completely crazy guy who has been a source of comedy for many years.

Guys like him (there are others, a favourite pastime of such guys is to disprove Einstein or quantum mechanism in a few lines) are a problem because they pretend to add to the non-mainstream media. Which they don’t: in Mathis’ Utøya article, there’s less talk about Breivik and what happened in Oslo/Utøya than there is about names and Jews.
You could almost think that such guys are planted because anybody can always point to them and say, “That’s your non-mainstream media? What a joke!” But I believe many truthers are genuine, not that it helps/matters much.

Thank you for endorsing my general train of thought at my 147. It is a fairly depressing view of the state of Australia’s self-awareness and embarrassing subservience to the general Western “Blob think”.
Unfortunately, I think the only way Australia can regain its self-respect, and the respect of other true nation states is via a dose of shock therapy like involving itself -as part of the blob-in a war that the collective blob (western) nations lose badly. Of course this would then require the general population to engage in much self-examination and reflection, but that would be inevitable.
There may be less dramatic ways that the country can reform itself, but none are obvious to me.
Regards-

To be sure, there are folk out there who write whole books full of pseudo-physics using equations (or what they think looks like math) about their pet theory that the Law of Gravitation is, in fact, proportional to 1/r³. I have met people who bought and read them.
Miles Mathis’ retraction of previously established physics or giving “a simple algebraic prove of the Goldbach conjecture” is crazy talk. Whatever he is up to, his choice of topics must appeal to curious minds.
About the Breivik conspiracy, some of my favourite arguments are related to the circumstantial evidence. Most has been said here already; I’ll add that Breivik as opponent of Islamic immigration is typically convenient for European intelligence scapegoating. I believe there is a lot of arm-twisting going on behind the scenes, with sometimes local 3LA accepting to carry out deeds ordered by the devil knows who; Angela Merkel’s almost humorous handling of the Berlin Christmas Market massacre (likely involving crisis actors) comes to mind. In contrast, the eery Germanwings aircrash in France appears much more serious.

Fanto – again, great to hear from you! Must confess, I do feel easier with the old lags from the Colonel’s site. I know they’re real and I know where they’re coming from. And you and I have always been on the same page.
The atrocities. Yes, it’s barbaric and the Israelis seem to revel in the barbarism, or many of them do. But the sole difference between them and our people is that they’re far more open about it. By “our people” I mean those who sit in offices in Washington and London and Paris – and Berlin for all I know – and plan or cause just the sort of atrocities that are in plain view in Israel.
What’s the difference between the Israelis subjecting the people of Gaza and elsewhere to murder and starvation, and professional sanctions experts in Washington deliberately planning measures designed to kill or starve thousands in Iraq or Syria? I see none, except that the Israelis are doing it in hot blood and our people who do it are cold blooded and calculating.
So yes, the barbarism of the Israelis is in full view. But we match their crimes and overmatch them. Just that we do it from behind closed doors.

Dust in the eyes.Diplomatic relations between countries are subject to international norms and customs. Hostile, violent acts,terrorist attacks by the ambassador or the diplomatic corps would be a reason for casus belli.No ambassador or diplomat does such a thing.The Australian government compromised itself by unconditionally supporting Israel and must give explanations to the Australians. That’s how they invented the story…

A while back there – the Chinese stopped buying Aussie beef, as Australia became the USA’s tip-of-the-spear, in the Wests (mainly USA’s) economic war on China, the USA took over from Australia in supplying beef to China, in essence the USA damaged the Australian economy to profit from it, as it has done in Europe with energy in mind, however Aussie beef is now back on the menu in China, as China drops US beef.
“The United States’s $2.5 billion beef trade to China has come to a halt.
Australia’s cattle industry is enjoying a surge in demand from China for grain-fed beef.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-12/us-tariffs-war-with-china-australian-beef-exports-up/105166632
There are warnings short-term gains for Australian beef in China could be lost if its economy slows.
About 300 abattoirs in the United States still have not had their export licences renewed to export beef to China — and it seems Australia is filling the gap.”

No. This overmatching notion is an absurd exhibition of a weird type of virtue signaling.
There is a difference between sending arms and actually doing the killing. This is a very basic difference in both law and obvious human morality.
IMO your statement is meaningless—and really quite weird—unless you can document orders written in Britain to commit the specific barbarities we have seen and are seeing in Gaza/Palestine.
Unless you can document people behind closed doors giving orders to IDF to shoot at children and babies, rape prisoners, lure the hungry to food stations, then shooting them, digging a pit and camoflaging it so that desperate Palestinians fall into the trap, a hole in the ground, where they are gunned to death, etc. etc. etc.
Go and listen to Baud on this very subject regarding the difference between force and violence.
I can only speculate—and I do—on why you are choosing this absurd and quite abstract notion to waste words and vertical space on. Perhaps you are an English Jew. The effect is to deflect from actual war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed with enthusiasm on their own initiative and also under actual orders from their superiors in the IDF.

‘The Australian public is once again being told to trust in “credible intelligence,” yet history has shown us clearly where this road leads. The war in Iraq was launched on the so-called intelligence about weapons of mass destruction that never existed. That cost millions of lives, all on the back of claims that could not withstand scrutiny. To now invoke “credible intelligence” as justification for shifting foreign policy is a road paved with lies, war, and the betrayal of public trust.
The timing is impeccable. While the world watches Israel commit genocide in Gaza and faces international outrage for killing journalists, doctors, and civilians live on television, it has every interest in pushing narratives that divert from the outrage and killings. When coupled with the fact that ASIO works hand in glove with Israeli intelligence, Australians are left with the inescapable conclusion that the announcement serves Israel’s strategic interests.
Further, we also cannot ignore the source. The Director-General of ASIO, Mike Burgess, has previously described “Sunni Islam” itself as the greatest terrorist threat. That kind of declaration shows us the mindset in which Australian intelligence operates.
The pattern is undeniable: selective intelligence disclosures, open alignment with Israeli strategic objectives, constant reliance on so-called “credible intelligence,” and a Director-General who has already publicly painted Muslims as the problem. This is not national security; it is a political script designed to protect allies and silence critics. Australians have the right to tear through this facade and demand accountability from those who claim to act in Australia’s name.’
