Government-Funded Group Helped Push Australia’s Digital Censorship Bill
Teach Us Consent, a group whose latest financial statements show it is nearly 90 percent funded by the Australian government, was one of those who supported the government’s Digital Duty of Care bill, and even stood beside Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as he presented it.
The bill, that the group lobbied for privately and publicly, is a censorship law. It will force platforms to police content more stringently, and gives a minister the power to add to the list of “harms” that they must protect against. The eSafety commissioner will be able to issue removal notices, and can even create “sock puppet” accounts to patrol the internet, and fine platforms up to A$109.2 million.
Teach Us Consent wrote to the Prime Minister’s office on March 30, 2026, in a “private letter” that was co-signed by Digital Rights Watch and Reset Australia, to ask for a meeting to discuss the bill. An adviser replied the next morning, and a meeting was set for April 9. On September 8, the group was by the Prime Minister’s side as he announced the censorship bill, calling it “an example of change from the bottom-up, my Government listening and acting.”
Teach Us Consent then announced that the government “heard our calls and committed to the #FixOurFeeds campaign.” And: “We did it.” But the group did not do it on its own: in the 2024/25 financial year, it had “total revenue of $2,738,561, representing a substantial increase of approximately 975% from the previous financial year’s total of $254,807.” Of that, $2,436,156 was “government funding” – 89 percent.
This is not money the group received to lobby – the government gave it for “Consent resources” aimed at people 16 and older. But the grant guidelines, released under freedom of information, shows that the Department of Social Services approved the content strategy.
The government also gave Teach Us Consent $4.4 million for a porn literacy campaign. The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet grant was approved on March 6, 2026.
The bill’s exposure draft was released on September 8, and it reveals that the duty to protect against “harm” will be imposed on social media, games, apps, and AI chatbots.
The eSafety commissioner will have the power to issue removal notices to companies, and the minister will be able to add any material “that the Minister is satisfied may cause serious harm.”
The eSafety Commissioner may assume a “false or fictitious identity” – a sock puppet – and “generate material using an online service (including by means of artificial intelligence).”
Those powers apply “despite anything to the contrary in any other law.” Penalties will reach A$109.2 million.
Opposition communications spokesperson Sarah Henderson said: “It provides the minister with unfettered powers to make any regulation into what she would describe as serious harm.” And: “The government could shut down any content or material that they deem to be harmful.”
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said: “It’s not about censorship. It’s about giving people control themselves over what they see.”
Network Affects called the feed-choice framing “a ruse,” finding the only explicit reference in the draft is “by providing control over the kind of content that is recommended for the user”:
“Fourteen vague words in a Bill containing more than fourteen thousand.”
The group had a specific proposal for the legislation, the “Fix Our Feeds” campaign. The page for the campaign on the group’s website states that “it takes just 23 minutes for a social media account mimicking a 16-18 year old boy to be fed misogynistic content, regardless of the account’s viewing preferences.”
The claim was repeated by Minister Tanya Plibersek on ABC Insiders, and it is based on a study conducted by Dublin City University. But the study used only ten accounts, and no real teenagers were involved. Instead, the researcher “watched and liked the video” when shown problematic content.
Ilhan Omar’s Father Was a Colonel Loyal to Brutal Somali Dictator, Served as Senior Officer During Genocide of Isaaq People – Then ‘Misrepresented Himself as a Refugee’
We now know why Ilhan Omar and her family lied on immigration forms and changed their name when they entered the United States.
Between 1981 and 1991, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father served as a senior officer, executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland.
This was first reported back in July 2025 at the Somaliland Chronicle in July 2025 but received little attention.
The Somaliland Chronicle reported:
This dark chapter in Africa’s history, which was known as the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians. It also involved widespread forced displacement, scorched‑earth destruction of the second and third largest cities (Hargeisa and Burao), aerial bombardement of almost every other single city, town and village in Somaliland, and two decades of large‑scale red-terror style tactics against the civilian population of Somaliland…
…At the heart of this brutal military regime was Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father. His rank, authority, membership of the regime Daarood clan, and 10+ years of having climbed the hierarchy in Somalia military to the rank of Colonel, placed him squarely in the Somali military’s command hierarchy during and at the height of its Isaaq genocide campaign. Based on his position, loyalty to the regime, and his role in the military, it is virtually certain that he had intimate knowledge of and involvement in the planning, conception, direction and execution of the genocide.
Today the children of former Somali dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, whose brutal regime has been linked to the deaths of as many as 200,000 people, are reportedly living quiet suburban lives in Columbus, Ohio.
According to an investigation by the New York Post, Barre’s son, Ayanle Mohamed Siad, and daughter, Deka Mohamed Siad, settled in the United States after their father was overthrown in 1991. Ilhan Omar’s father was a colonel in his regime.
Migrants Account for 87% of Criminal Suspects in Germany
Germany’s latest arrest-warrant figures raise a basic question about the competence of the people running the country. As of July, 148,311 people are wanted on outstanding warrants as, with only 11.2% holding exclusively German citizenship and another 1.5% holding German citizenship alongside another nationality. Foreign nationals reportedly account for 87.3%. Berlin should explain how this backlog developed, which cases involve dangerous offenders, and what it is doing to find them. Issuing a warrant is only the beginning. If the state cannot enforce it, the paperwork offers very little protection to the public.
Among temporary migrants, nationals of Algeria, Morocco, Georgia, Tunisia, Nigeria, and Albania together represented roughly 2.1% of the population but 15.5% of suspects. Ukrainians represented almost 36% of that population and around 13% of suspects. These figures concern suspects rather than convictions, but the differences are substantial. A competent administration would examine what lies behind them, where repeat offending is concentrated, and which measures actually improve integration and public safety.
Germany identified 197,347 violent criminal suspects in 2024: 112,335 German citizens and 85,012 foreign nationals, putting the foreign share at 43.1%. In 2025, that share remained almost unchanged at 42.9%. Violence against women has been a massive, underplayed problem across Europe. Authorities recorded 6,892 German rape suspects and 4,437 non-German rape suspects, a foreign share of 39.2%. The group rape figures are especially disturbing. Government records show 751 cases in 2025, approximately two a day, with foreign nationals accounting for 53% of identified suspects.
Merkel’s promise that Germany could manage the influx never relieved the government of its obligation to plan for it. Someone had to provide the housing, classroom places, language instruction, and administrative capacity. Someone also had to deal with those who broke the law. Politicians could celebrate their intentions while municipalities worked out how to pay for the consequences. That gap between the announcement and the practical work is where confidence begins to erode. People become angry when they are expected to finance a policy and then treated as unreasonable for asking whether it is working.
Civil unrest is inevitable. The arrogance of these politicians is infuriating. They make the decisions, leave the public to absorb the consequences, and then expect credit for their intentions. A woman whose life has been shattered by an assault does not owe anyone silence to protect the reputation of a migration policy. Neither does the taxpayer financing police, courts, and prisons. The government’s obligation is to protect people, prosecute offenders, and correct policies that are failing. If officials cannot manage that, they should get out of office. There is nothing compassionate about leaving victims to carry the damage while the people responsible for governing congratulate themselves on their moral superiority.
US Hits Bank of America With $1.2 Billion in Penalties for Security Violations
The U.S. Treasury fined Bank of America $1.21 billion for violations of anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, the department announced Oct. 13.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network assessed the penalty for the bank’s failure to mitigate and report priority national security risks, including Chinese money laundering networks and illicit finance along the southwest border, according to the Treasury.
“When a bank of this size fails to meet its anti-money laundering and sanctions obligations, the consequences extend far beyond its own walls, exposing the entire U.S. financial system to significant illicit finance risks,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
Bank of America is the second-largest bank in the United States and the sixth-largest in the world, according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a treasury bureau that regulates and supervises banks and financial institutions.
“Every year, [Bank of America] processes hundreds of trillions of dollars in transactions across the globe,” Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould said in a statement. “It has a high—and increasing—risk profile for money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities.”
Almost two years ago, the bank signed an order with the agency and committed to fixing problems found in its compliance with the federal Bank Secrecy Act, Gould said.
House GOP crafts nuclear option for sanctuary cities, letting victims sue local officials
ouse Republicans are pushing ahead with sweeping legislation to obliterate sanctuary cities, setting up a post-election vote that would empower victims of illegal immigrants’ crimes to sue the local officials who released them from custody.
The Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act passed through the House Judiciary Committee with little fanfare last month, creating a path for GOP lawmakers to impose the toughest crackdown yet on states and cities that refuse to turn over illegal immigrants under federal detainers or outright release migrants in their custody.
The bill’s most poignant weapon creates a right of private action for victims and families of victims to sue the municipalities and officials who released violent offenders, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Just the News.
“We got a good deal that we worked long and hard on”: Jordan
The provision would strip some of the civil immunity that state and local officials enjoy. Currently, in some jurisdictions, those officials enjoy “absolute immunity,” which is the broadest form of the doctrine.
“It allows people who’ve been harmed, where local political leaders tell the local law enforcement they can’t work with federal law enforcement, detainers aren’t honored … to go take that city, take that state to court, and say, ‘look, this was ridiculous. What happened and was so wrong, so tragic,'” Jordan explained.
“So we got a good deal that we worked long and hard on. We just got to try to get it passed in the lame duck [period],” he added.
In addition to the lawsuit provision, the bill also:
- Reasserts federal supremacy over state and local laws that restrict cooperation with immigration enforcement with the Department of Homeland Security.
- Requires state and local authorities to honor DHS detainers for illegal immigrants arrested for criminal or motor vehicle offenses who are subject to deportation.
- Withholds some federal funding from sanctuary states and municipalities who don’t comply and reallocate the monies to compliant jurisdictions.
Illegal immigrant involvement in felonies said to be still growing
The push by Jordan and his allies comes as it’s claimed that the number of cases of released aliens causing harm or death continues to grow. The data is conflicting, but individual cases putting a human face on the issue raises public interest.
Just last month, Homeland Security decried a case where an illegal immigrant from India who was released during the Biden years stalked and killed a woman in California.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed last month that Rohit Rohit, the man accused of stalking 38-year-old Shalini Thakur for months before executing her in a Panera Bread parking lot in Sacramento, was in the country illegally.
“Sanctuary politicians must put an end to reckless policies that play Russian roulette with American lives,” the DHS said.
Reconciliation propaganda in high school exposed by BC teen
A 16-year-old B.C. high school student says he is being denied the opportunity to return to class unless he removes his YouTube video called “Lies and Reconciliation,” which exposed some of the propaganda that was pushed on students during his school’s Truth and Reconciliation Day programming.
Isaac Simpson, a Grade 11 student enrolled in a Lower Mainland school’s film and television program, decided to put his filmmaking skills to use after growing frustrated with what he was being taught about Canada’s history, often unbeknownst to parents.
From a masked Black Lives Matter advocate telling students about truth, to another virtual speaker telling the youth to embrace discussions of “land back,” to a disturbing exaggerated illustration depicting Catholic nuns and an RCMP officer forcibly tearing Indigenous children from their mothers, Simpson’s video gives parents a rare look inside the classroom.
“I got really sick of all the indoctrination being pushed down students’ throats,” Simpson told me. “They were just telling you what to think, not how to think.”
But his decision to expose the material came at a cost.
After initially being suspended for what the school described as a period of “pause and reflection,” Simpson and his parents attended a meeting with school officials that the teen likened to an interrogation.
Simpson documented that experience in a second video posted to his YouTube channel, Isaac Simpson’s Flying Circus. Both videos have since been gaining attention online.
Now, Simpson says he has been told he cannot return to school unless the videos come down. He refuses to comply.
“I’m not taking it down because, you know, I stand by what I said,” Simpson explained.
I caught up with the young filmmaker to find out why it was important for him to expose what’s happening in his public school despite the risk.
For Simpson, the issue is bigger than his suspension. Currently, “parents have no way of figuring out what is being taught in schools,” he said.
I also spoke with his mother, former Global News director and current B.C. political commentator Anita Krishna, about the school’s response and what comes next.
IDF Veterans: Post-10/7 Rules Allowed Hundreds of Civilian Deaths to Kill Single Hamas Member
Former Israeli military and intelligence personnel affirmed that rules for targeting confirmed and alleged Hamas members in Gaza were dramatically loosened after the October 7, 2023 attack, allowing strikes expected to kill hundreds of Palestinian civilians to target even low-ranking members of the Palestinian resistance group, according to a report published Monday.
In an article published by Haaretz, Israel’s oldest daily newspaper, Yaniv Kubovich gathered testimonies from former Israel Defense Forces intelligence personnel that add to the body of evidence from Israeli whistleblowers, military officials, and investigative journalists documenting how the IDF expanded its targeting practices during its devastating US-backed annihilation of Gaza, which has killed or wounded more than 250,000 Palestinians in the coastal exclave over the past three years.
One change described by some of those interviewed by Kubovich was “the opening of the intelligence apparatus to untrained personnel.”
“People arrived at military intelligence who weren’t from the unit, reservists who’d never even served in intelligence, brought in from all sorts of places,” said one veteran, identified as “A.”
“They sat in the Targeting Directorate looking for the most insignificant targets, the small fry, so they could kill them,” A added. “Anyone displaying Hamas symbols on Facebook or identifying themselves as Hamas was marked as a target. Some were Hamas members, some were fighters too, but they really were small fry.”
Another veteran, “D,” who was assigned to a strike cell – units that coordinate drone and other aerial attacks – said: “Suddenly, the IDF was striking even the lowest of the low indiscriminately, and everyone had forgotten about conserving ammunition. We were striking Hamas drivers. That’s how far it went.”
Kubovich wrote that “a recurring theme in the accounts is the gap between a target’s importance, the scale of the strike and the civilian toll deemed acceptable.”
For example, on October 31, 2023, IDF warplanes dropped 2,000-pound “bunker-buster” bombs supplied by the United States on the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza in order to kill one Hamas commander, Ibrahmi Biari.
“We knew Biari was underground, beneath several large buildings, but we couldn’t pinpoint which building he was under,” said D. “So they chose several buildings that were still occupied and decided to bring down all the buildings above the tunnel he was in. We didn’t initiate an evacuation because it was important to kill him before he could get away.”
A, who was also involved in the mission, said the decision to bomb the buildings was referred to the IDF chief of staff for approval, since intelligence officials estimated that there would be hundreds of civilian casualties. The IDF calculated that roughly 100 people would be killed or wounded in the proposed attack.
“We couldn’t get any more intelligence to pinpoint his exact location,” said veteran D. “They told us, ‘He’s killing soldiers right now. We have to strike him,’ out of concern for the troops on the ground, and in the end the strike was approved. They really wanted to kill this guy.”
Hamas said that 400 people were killed or wounded in the attack.
“Among other things, we relied on figures coming from Hamas, which we considered relatively plausible, even if they weren’t 100% accurate,” veteran A told Kubovich. “As time went on, we realized the death toll was around 250. I remember being stunned that we were bringing down several densely populated buildings, killing and injuring hundreds of people, to kill a battalion commander who, just a few weeks earlier, hadn’t even been someone we were supposed to gather intelligence on.”
The UK-based civilian casualty monitor Airwars said that at least 126 civilians, including 69 children, were killed in the attack, which wiped out whole families.
“You can’t authorize the potential killing of 300 civilians for a battalion commander, or the killing of 20 civilians for every Hamas truck driver, and still tell the public we did everything we could to avoid harming innocent people,” Nadav Weiman, executive director of the IDF veterans’ group Breaking the Silence, told Kubovich.
Referring to the Jabalia massacre, D said: “I can’t say this particular strike is what really messes with my head. What’s much harder for me is the system of strike after strike after strike, with collateral damage running into dozens of people, sometimes hundreds. Being part of a system like that bothers me more than taking part in any particular strike.”
The veterans’ accounts raise further questions about Israel’s repeated assertions that its military operations have been conducted in accordance with international humanitarian law, which requires parties in armed conflicts to distinguish between civilians and combatants and prohibits attacks expected to cause excessive civilian harm relative to the anticipated concrete and direct military advantage.
Those claims stand in stark contrast with statements by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials, who began calling for the genocidal destruction of Gaza and its 2.2 million people in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas-led attack of October 7, 2023.
Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant – his former defense minister who ordered the “complete siege” of Gaza, explaining that “we are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly” – are currently fugitives from the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where they are wanted for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder and forced starvation.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ), also in The Hague, is currently conducting a genocide case against Israel filed by South Africa and formally supported by more than 15 nations. While a ruling in the case isn’t expected until at least 2029, a United Nations commission of inquiry, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and other experts – including many Israeli and international Jewish academics, jurists, human rights campaigners, and others – have already concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The new Haaretz investigation adds to the body of reporting on Israel’s loosened rules of engagement and their disastrous implications for Gaza civilians, including a December 2024 New York Times exposé involving interviews with over 100 IDF soldiers and veterans, Israeli officials, dozens of airstrike victims, and experts on the law and conduct of war.
Kubovich’s revelations also come as the documentary NAZA, directed by Israeli journalists and filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, brings testimony from Israeli military and intelligence insiders to international audiences. The film features 24 anonymized insiders describing the surveillance, artificial intelligence-assisted targeting, and military procedures used during the assault on Gaza.
IDF veteran testimonies are consistent with earlier investigations into the IDF’s use of artificial intelligence to generate targets at extraordinary speed, often with limited human scrutiny.
Ilhan Omar Was 37 When She Entered Congress. Soon, She Became 36.
Leftists are amazing people. They can transform burly men not only into women, but into champion female athletes. They can make at least some people think that Old Joe Biden was a competent president and that Kamala Harris remains an appealing presidential candidate. They can sell gargantuan nanny state government and control over the minutest details of your life as the little guy finally getting justice and a fair shake. Is there anything they can’t do?
Apparently there isn’t. Now it has come to light that they can even turn back the clock and make people younger — if not everyone, then at least their leading apparatchiks. The New York Post reported Tuesday that the embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) was 37 when she entered the House of Representatives, but soon afterward, became 36.
It’s a neat trick. But don’t try it at home. It seems that “Omar’s staff helped get her birthdate changed in public records once the Minnesota Democrat was elected to Congress in 2018, a switch that has since spurred frenzied accusations that she misrepresented her age to secure US citizenship.” Omar became a year younger, you see, because she has stated publicly that she entered the U.S. as a minor, under the guardianship of her father, but if she was actually 18 when she entered the country, she was not actually a minor at all.
That’s why this change of her birthdate may play a significant role in her immigration fraud case: “The alteration could offer a big clue as to what federal immigration agents were searching for when they raided her DC home Monday: If the congresswoman is actually one year older than she’s claimed to be, that would mean she couldn’t have legally become a US citizen in 2000, critics contend.”
The EU-NATO Establishment Is Waging A Hybrid War Against Europe
The (fake) elite which currently leads in many European countries as well as the European Union in Brussels is determined to wage a war against Russia.
Unfortunately for them the people they rule over have no interest in that. The leaders are waging a massive propaganda campaign to change their minds.
They are following a line set by Hillary Clinton who, after losing the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump, blamed Russia for interfering with it.
Accusations against Russia of interfering with elections elsewhere have since been repeated many times. The claim of ‘Russian bots’ waging ‘Russian influence’ is trotted out whenever populist outsiders manage to win.
Another allegation is that Russia is waging a ‘hybrid’ war against Europe. The meme goes back to the false claim by journalist Mark Galeotti who, in 2014, had claimed that there existed a ‘Gerasimov doctrine’, named after Russia’s highest general, which was leading Russia to wage ‘non-linear’ or ‘hybrid’ wars.
It took Galeotti four years, during which his thesis had gained some massive following, to recant his claims:
[T]o my immense chagrin, I created this term, which has since acquired a destructive life of its own, lumbering clumsily into the world to spread fear and loathing in its wake.
…
Gerasimov was actually talking about how the Kremlin understands what happened in the “Arab Spring” uprisings, the “color revolutions” against pro-Moscow regimes in Russia’s neighborhood, and in due course Ukraine’s “Maidan” revolt. The Russians honestly — however wrongly — believe that these were not genuine protests against brutal and corrupt governments, but regime changes orchestrated in Washington, or rather, Langley.
There never was and is no Russian ‘hybrid’ war.
There is however a strong western campaign to blame Russia for each and every thing:
Lately, not a day goes by in Europe without some drone scare, fire or blackout being blamed on Russia. We are told that these incidents are all part of a relentless “hybrid war” that Russia is waging against Europe — one that involves drone incursions, airspace violations, sabotage, arson, cyberattacks and more. We are told this “includes plots to place incendiary devices aboard DHL cargo planes, blow up railroad tracks in Poland, and burn down warehouses and shopping centers all over Europe”, as well as “acts of sabotage against defense companies and the defense industry in Europe”, and “attacks on European critical infrastructure” — but also, apparently, sending secret agents to defecate in the lavatories of Finnish MPs. We are also told that “[s]uch attacks began occurring shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022”, and have escalated in recent months and weeks. According to Kaja Kallas, “Europe faces a fast-proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations”.
There is however no evidence, none, that any of the alleged incidents had anything Russian to them.
There is though a ‘hybrid war’. But it is one waged by the western ‘elite’ against its own people:
Ultimately, serious scrutiny of the “Russian hybrid warfare” narrative can only lead to one disquieting conclusion. A “hybrid war” is indeed being waged against Europe — but it is being waged by the EU-NATO establishment itself, against its own population. Europeans are being subjected to a sustained campaign of cognitive or psychological warfare aimed at conditioning them to believe that Europe is under attack from Russia, and that these hybrid attacks are a prelude to conventional hostilities — a claim for which, by and large, there is little or no proof. What the record points to, in fact, is a deliberate campaign of threat inflation in which governments, media outlets and defence-funded “think tanks” have colluded to instill a permanent sense of fear in the population, through relentless coverage of “incidents”, “attacks”, “sabotages” and “campaigns” that, in most cases, simply do not exist.
Yesterday Andy Burnham, the unelected Prime Minister of Britain, blamed Russia for the outcome of Britain’s Brexit vote:
Prime Minister Andy Burnham sparked fury in Britain on Monday with his assertion that Russia had sought to interfere in the 2016 Brexit vote that took the country out of the European Union, breaking with previous premiers who said there was no evidence Moscow had meddled.
There had been an extensive parliament investigation about imagined Russian influence on the Brexit referendum which had found none. Burnham is now, without any evidence, claiming such influence because he wants to roll back Britain’s exit from the EU:
Just a few weeks ago, in his first conference speech as Labour leader, Burnham became the first prime minister to open the door to rejoining the European Union. Shortly thereafter, he suggested his party’s manifesto at the next election might include a referendum on just that question.
Burnham’s unspoken argument: If Russia has influenced the Brexit referendum the result is illegitimate and must be undone.
The argument is as fake as Burnham’s allegations about Iran being behind some fuel smugglers arrested near a military airport in Britain and let off on bail.
The propaganda about the non-existing ‘hybrid’ war Russia is allegedly waging against Europe climbed to a new apex yesterday.
