(We) can do better

The Queensland Government is in the process of handing out 30 year private leases inside our National Parks for commercial development of luxury accommodation.

This is a major change to our National Parks, made without any public consultation.
 

The UK judge had decided to block the US request for Julian's extradition, on medical grounds. Now the US government is seeking to overturn that decision on appeal. Although the District Judge refused the extradition she nevertheless denied Julian bail.

We have repeatedly mentioned facts about the atrocities of nationalists terrorizing civilians for any disobedience or attempts to leave settlements.

Today, footage of civilians killed in Chernihov, who were supposedly “shot by Russian servicemen,” was circulated on all propaganda resources of the Kiev regime. It was stated that all victims were allegedly queuing for bread.

I would like to stress the absence Russian servicemen in Chernihov.

On 14 March 2022 the UK Supreme Court refused to grant Julian Assange an appeal against being extradited to the United States. We do not know what legal course remain open to Mr Assange at this time. The United States is shamelessly manipulating public media and public opinion by ensuring ignorance about the significance of world events and the task of freeing the world's only effective fighter for truthful reporting has become even more difficult. Australian activist, John Wilson, has renewed his call for a jury trial for Assange, claiming it is his right:

It seems that a lot of disagreement about who is to blame in the Ukraine conflict comes from the fact that the people who unilaterally condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine generally don’t think of this as a war involving more than Russia and Ukraine, whereas those who think Russia’s actions make sense, do think this is a lot bigger than just Russia and Ukraine. Also, those who think this is just about Russia and Ukraine tend not to know the history of the conflict.

[Article republished from Mideast Discourse.] Mainstream western media decided for us that the Russian accusation of US-funded biological research labs in Ukraine was fake news.

This is a neat summary of what informed sources tell us about Russia's aims are and its conduct to date in the Ukraine conflict.

" ... We end [up] waging war against Russians with the proxy. We are investing our emotions just like playing a computer game. Unable to distinguish dying in a computer game from dying for real. When we die, we might start another game. Ukrainians, after being dead once, can not do that. No more games after dying for real.

What America has been funding is really revolting. Furthermore, Australia has been involved. Russia has found documents showing that 350 cryocontainers with blood serum samples were transferred from the Public Health Centre of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine to the reference laboratory for infectious diseases of the Australian Doherty Institute under the pretext of determining antibody titers.

Tucker Carlson shows up the shocking lies of the United States Government to deny its funding of multiple germ-warfare labs in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world. Not so hard to believe the reports of Nazi activity in Ukraine now? Russia and China are not telling lies about finding these labs.

"Last year, Ukrainian opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk revealed to parliament that as many as 15 US-sponsored biological laboratories were operating on Ukrainian territory, with some of them said to be engaged in the storage of pathogens hazardous to humans and animals. Medvedchuk accused US and Ukrainian authorities of seeking to cover up the extent of these activities, and warned that some of the labs may be experimenting on human beings.

Following Sasha Gillies-Lekakis's unfair, suppressive, humiliating and vicious, ejection from Q&A audience on 3 March 2022, this statement appeared on

Interesting and informative speeches from all over the world.

A friend of mine related today, that at her golf club, after a game, a woman exclaimed, "I wish that someone would shoot the Russian president." Most people there agreed loudly, although a couple of weeks prior, some of them had not even known what Perestroika was. Many people in Australia are confident to the point of arrogance in their belief that they are well-informed about the problems in Ukraine. "I was afraid to speak up, in case they shaved my head," my friend joked blackly.

1.The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs published a document on the history of U. S. genocide against Native Americans on their official website. Currently trending on Weibo, and being promoted by People’s Daily and other major media accounts. Yesterday, a recent documentary about U. S. military experiments on Danish children during the 1960s was one of the major trending items.

Title was: "Peace terms rejected by Zelensky", then changed to "Rapid demise of US puppet Zilenski regime the most humanitarian way forward for Ukraine", and then changed back again -  3 Mar 2022, Ed

Zelensky says the Russian terms are not acceptable and wants a ceasefire prior to any further negotiation.

He is a stand-up comedian by profession.

Seriously, he is.

The disconnect between the Western and Russian narratives in the current conflict could prove fatal to the world, writes Scott Ritter.

It seems that many of the leading ‘social change’ agents are enthusiastically piling on the bandwagon to reinforce, not change, one of the most significant problems now threatening society at both the global and local scale.

In solidarity with the people of Ukraine and Russia, a call has gone out to the international peace movement to hold rallies and actions during the week of March 1 – 7, 2022.  The Independent and Peaceful Australian Network proposes national rallies are held across Australia on Wednesday 2nd March in solidarity with international peace actions and with the people of Ukraine and Russia in their demands for peace. Please let them know if you are organising any actions earlier or interested in organising a rally/protest action in your state on Wednesday 2 March.
