Curious if Grant is so concerned about reining in child pornography and sex trafficing.

Australia has kind of shocked me. Thought they were bad ass and independent. Folded like cheap suits to the plandemic. Now are they going to take this without a whimper too?

Yes David, my divorced parents emigrated there in the 70s (they were still good friends) and my mother married an Australian businessman who was just the epitome of a good Australian. I have been there a dozen times, mostly from the early 90s through late 2000s. I noticed a gradual change over those years as immigration and the younger generations grew up. They are much more open to increasing police powers now and their officers can be very aggressive. The government was able to largely de-arm the population very quickly after the Port Arthur massacre. The population mostly fell into line very quickly during the pandemic lockdown. My brother cant stand the woke turn society has taken but like most of the West any push back is immediately branded as "fascist", *****phobic, "racist" etc. We are on a journey and that will take its course until something breaks. It hasn't broken yet..... but I am betting it will break and wont be pretty when it does.

You talk about the disarming of Australians. I knew A woman who had U.S./Aussie citizenship because her mother was Australian. She went to live in Australia. She sent us a letter explaining that when the disarmament occurred, IT WAS U.S. TROOPS THAT WERE THE ONES THAT WERE GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE COLLECTING GUNS!

Just repeating back what someone who I had known for years told me when she went back to her mom's home country at the time the gun grab was occurring. What exactly happened from your version?

Australian governments have forgotten that they are elected to provide services not control the minds of the people with government propaganda. We are screwed if this and the WHO amendments are implemented.

Thank you for showcasing the role of our Australian e-safety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, in all this. I wonder if she has some sort of personal gripe about Twitter? Although if she left in 2016 she would not have been part of Musk's purge, she seems to still have strong ties and demonstrated loyalty to the old Twitter policies.

Though of course, the fact that she was the one chosen for this role - and indeed, even the creation of an "e-Safety Commissioner" position - is all part of an ongoing worldwide movement towards government censorship, no doubt driven by the globalist agenda.

One person.... who works for a hostile foreign agent is trying to shut down Australians. Point the bone at her and push it hard or lose it Australia

It's not that hard to be perma-banned from Twitter. It took me about 8 months to build the SpacePriveNews account up to around 2,300 followers from nothing. Thousands of posts, hundreds of prayers later, and one image of an empty gallows with the caption "you made us a 'vaccine' so we made you a 'play swing'" and the account was nuked. No possibility of ever having another account from that phone, or using any device that accesses its Google profile (because the big tech f'wads cooperate). Which doesn't mean that I don't have access to Twitter, but it does mean that account is permanently suspended, pretty much over nothing. I guess Peter Hotez has friends who are report monkeys. My point is that we built the Internet so we could say whatever we want, and we still do. The mElon doesn't like it that we have that much freedom, so he still expires likes and does quite a few other disgusting things to alter what positions people actually hold. Clever boy.

The notion that our capability to communicate is hindered by the kinds of fools in intelligence agencies and government bureaucracies is silly. We built anonymous remailers thirty years ago, and mixmaster virtual privacy networks for dessert. The work we did on public key cryptography, on teaching mundanes how to keep messages from being read while in transit, on digital currency systems all still exists. There are levels of inconvenience with command line interface software that some of us are prepared to endure to have actual privacy and actual free speech.

Bureau-rats are filthy, disgusting animals. All they care about is their salary, benefits, and the budget they wield to hire other filthy bureau-rats. They don't care about freedom, humanity, decency, nor truth. They won't ever come to appreciate any higher values. They will lie, cheat, steal, rape, and murder, and they will trumpet their conquests in various ways. Eventually the whole sordid lot may be obliterated by a nuclear blast, and if you then come to me asking whether I've shed a tear, well, gosh.

I pray three or more times a day for God's help: Eternal Father, please help us to free the slaves, stop the wars, and end tyranny. Please help with guidance, resources, ingenuity, endurance, fortitude, and patience. Please show us the little fires so we may pass by them. Please bring love into our lives so we remember what we have to live for.

I didn't come here to judge the living and the dead. Jesus Christ does that, in the fullness of time. I am, however, still endowed by our Creator with the ability to see. And in the country of the blind ...
