Stefanovic criticizes war crime law changes

About 24 hours before #Stefanovic boarded the flight, his social media channels lit up with him declaring he was “fired up” by former Australian Federal Police superintendent David Craig’s suggestions that changed the legal definition of a war crime of murder just a year before the nation’s most decorated soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, was charged with killing non-combatants while serving in Afghanistan.

“Ben Roberts-Smith, set up? I am shocked,” Stefanovic says sarcastically in the clip posted across his social media channels, which would quickly become the talk of Nine’s newsrooms. “It sounds like a targeted adjustment to me as this retrospective shift drags BRS’s service record right into the crosshairs of these new laws. “And get this, the changes made only affect alleged war crimes of murder by soldiers, not ISIS brides. Are you kidding? seems to me that we are perfectly comfortable putting a target on the backs of the men and women who fought for this country while giving a free pass to ones who turned their backs on it.”

‘Israel-Lebanon deal not possible without Hezbollah’s consent’

That means there won’t be a deal. Hezbollah will not disarm, Iran will keep the supply lines open and Israel will keep bombing them until there’s nothing left to bomb.

The agreement between Lebanon and Israel is an “existential threat” to Hezbollah’s presence, Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem says.

Despite that, the agreement, which includes disarming Hezbollah, can’t be enforced without the group’s consent.

“Without Hezbollah’s consent, this is not going to happen,” Hashem said in Al Jazeera’s Doha studio. “This is going to be another recipe for another confrontation. The Lebanese government isn’t capable of imposing this deal. It’s not the de facto force on the ground.”

The deal, signed earlier today, is about “putting Hezbollah in the corner,” Hashem said.

The Trump administration has said Iran’s unfrozen money will be used to buy US agricultural products, which will then be provided to Iran.

The US rejects any nation’s claim over Hormuz, says Rubio in Bahrain

The US will not accept that Hormuz belongs to any nation-state, Rubio says while meeting with Bahraini leaders in Manama.

“We want a deal with Iran, we don’t want a deal at any price,” he added.

  • US Secretary of State Rubio tells Bahraini leaders in Manama that the US wants to ensure agreement with Iran takes into account the “interest of allies“.
  • Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has rejected a new shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any vessel using it will be in danger.
  • The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says visits to Iran’s nuclear sites will take place, but Tehran says inspections will only happen once a final deal is reached with the US.

Latest updates:

  • Israel continues to attack southern Lebanon as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Israeli military is “not going to withdraw” from occupied areas.
  • Lebanese group Hezbollah has accused Israel of targeting civilians trying to return to their homes in Lebanon’s south, killing two people and wounding a third.
  • After a meeting in Bahrain, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington and its Gulf allies have rejected any Iranian fees or restrictions on transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned against any crossings of the strait without authorisation, as the critical waterway remains a major source of tension.

‘The only thing the U.S. has to show in return is a document that amounts to an unconditional surrender’
 
When Trump said that he would only accept unconditional surrender from the Islamic Republic of Iran, nobody thought that he meant that the U.S. would surrender unconditionally to Iran. But that is what his “deal” amounts to. And it all comes from poor planning on the part of his slapdash administration.

Karl Stefanovic’s interview with Tommy Robinson makes it clear that we live in a dictatorship

Australian TV presenter Karl Stefanovic has expressed his shock at a harrowing report on the UK’s Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs in successive interviews with Tommy Robinson and Holly Valance.
“I don’t understand why it’s not a national crisis”
Karl Stefanovic has released a statement after it was confirmed he had left Nine, saying he wished his time at the network “wasn’t ending like this”.
The longtime ‘Today’ host thanked viewers and colleagues after more than two decades with the broadcaster, following controversy over his independent podcast interview with Tommy Robinson.

Billionaire James Packer has defended his long time friend Karl Stefanovic, saying he did not believe the controversial Tommy Robinson podcast interview was “that bad”.
Elon Musk has now weighted in on the story too, replying “Wow” to a post about the furore.

Al Bozo Claims He is “Mainstream” After Karl Stefanovic is Sacked For Tommy Robinson Interview

Update:

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson claims Channel Nine would be “bloody stupid” to sack Karl Stefanovic. “They’re bloody stupid to do it,” Ms Hanson told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “They’ve gone so far to the left, Channel Nine; they’re making a big mistake.”

‘Impact’: Karl Stefanovic issued warning by Anthony Albanese as PM weighs in on Nine axing controversy

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has issued a warning after being questioned on Karl Stefanovic’s imminent sacking by Nine over his Tommy Robinson podcast.

Anthony Albanese has weighed into the Karl Stefanovic controversy, suggesting the broadcaster had strayed too far from the mainstream.

Nine is expected to drop Today show host Stefanovic imminently after the presenter received widespread criticism for interviewing UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Speaking at a Committee for Economic Development of Australia event at Parliament House on Thursday, Mr Albanese said he would not directly comment on the drama engulfing the network.

However, the Prime Minister, who appeared on The Karl Stefanovic Show earlier this year, did have a warning for media personalities like Stefanovic.

“Look at what’s happened,” the Prime Minister said.

“You go down that road and you go further and further out on the edges of what is mainstream political debate in this country, and you know, I think that can have an impact.”

Banned ISIS bride Hodan Abby to return to Australia, Burka Tony fails to explain…

Can a government hate its own country & people as much as these Labor grubs?

Banned ISIS bride Hodan Abby to return to Australia, Tony Burke says

OUTRAGE: Somalian born ISIS bride Hodan Abby welcomed back to Australia by Anthony Albanese & Tony Burke despite major national security red flags.

Hodan Abby left our country to live under ISIS. Now the Albanese Government has caved and issued her a return permit, with the usual pathetic excuse that “the law made us do it.”

Liberal MP James Paterson is dead right: the Albanese Government have failed at every turn.

These people are NOT welcome here.

Hodan Abby is Somalian, not Australian born, and holds dual citizenship. Strip her passport and deport her straight back to Somalia.

She chose the caliphate over Australia.

We owe her nothing.

Labor once swore they’d never bring this cohort back. Weak borders, weak leadership, same old story.

Pathological liars. Continue reading Banned ISIS bride Hodan Abby to return to Australia, Burka Tony fails to explain…

“Australia is facing a complex mix of threats, thread level ‘too complex’, spooks need more powers, resources & laws to keep Australians safe”

Trusting government spooks with ever more power over Australians instead of targeting Islam with the full force of existing laws is self-defeating. Al Bozo & Burka Tony have already derailed the Royal Commission looking into the Bondi Massacre  by excluding Islam from their findings, which is a disgrace.

The Albanese government has been accused of a “complete mismanagement” of the ISIS brides cohort after the nation’s top spy addressed the ongoing terror threat against Australia.

The Coalition has claimed there is “little prospect” of a reduction in Australia’s terror threat from “probable” to “possible”, with the party accusing the Albanese government of a “complete mismanagement” of the ISIS brides cohort.

On Wednesday, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Director-General Mike Burgess warned the nation faced a more volatile security environment marked by rising social tensions, espionage and politically motivated violence.

The nation’s terror threat remains at “probable”, with knowledge of a specific planned attack needed to escalate it further to “expected”.

In his address, Mr Burgess stressed: “I do not believe the system was designed for a situation like the one we now face”.

On Wednesday, Mr Burgess warned the nation faced a more volatile security environment marked by rising social tensions. Picture: NewsWire/Martin Ollman Shadow home affairs minister Jonathon Duniam has demanded the Albanese government ensure ASIO’s warnings are “taken extremely seriously”.

“It is fair to say that Australia is facing a complex mix of threats – including from foreign interference, espionage, online radicalisation, and antisemitic violence,” he told SkyNews.com.au.

“Religiously motivated violent extremism, including Islamist extremism, clearly remains one of the most serious and most enduring of these threats.

“The Albanese government’s complete mismanagement of the ISIS Brides’ returns to Australia has trained a very clear spotlight on the need for far better prioritisation of community safety.

UK: “It is unhelpful & irresponsible to attribute sexual violence & abuse to Paki Mohammedans”

Sure thing. It does not help them to continue with their rape spree when people shine a light on it. That’s the purpose of the exercise.

Rape Crisis Org Says It’s ‘Racist’ To Notice Muslim Rape Gangs Abusing UK Girls

The Rape Crisis organization, designed to help and ‘believe’ rape victims, completely invalidates their experiences by calling their testimonies ‘unhelpful’ and ‘irresponsible.’

Rape Crisis Org Says It’s ‘Racist’ To Notice Muslim Rape Gangs Abusing UK Girls

When Jen was 17, she was introduced to a gang of Iraqi Kurdish Muslim men who called her and other girls “white trash” and “English pig‑dogs” while they raped and trafficked them across the U.K. to rape gang ”parties.”

Jen decided to speak up in the Rape Gang Inquiry Report “so that religiously-motivated coercive abuse is properly recognized and confronted, even when doing so is politically, culturally, or socially controversial.”

In response, Rape Crisis England and Wales, a U.K. “feminist” social services organization “working to end sexual violence and abuse,” released a statement calling the report racist for pointing out that 95% of the gang members are Muslim and exploited girls because they were white.

“It is unhelpful and irresponsible to attribute sexual violence and abuse perpetration uniquely to specific races, ethnicities or religions,” the organization states. “Framing the issue squarely in terms of immigration undermines joined-up, community-based responses to tackling misogyny and rape culture.”

The organization highlights how much they “commend the courage of the survivors who shared their horrific experiences” and how important it is for victims to be “believed and supported.” The organization even has an anti-racism statement where they explain, “just as sexual violence and misogyny are a continuum, we also know that racist violence is too.”

Yet, when rape survivors notice they are victims of racism at the hands of an ideology that views white women as property, the organization releases a statement condemning the report for being hateful towards Muslims.

Negotiating With Iran is a Humiliation Ritual

You can’t negotiate with Islamic terrorists. All you can do is be taken hostage by them.

BY

Dr. Seyed Abbas Araghchi

Negotiating with Islamic terrorists in general is a humiliation ritual. The moment you agree, you’ve lost face, shown weakness and it is now their mandate to humiliate you as much possible in order to extract maximum advantage while failing to keep any promises that they make.

Our leaders still haven’t learned this most basic fact from history. Including American history. (In two recent articles, “The Truth About the First Muslim Country to Recognize America” and “America Has Been Fighting Islamic Attacks for 242 Years”, I discuss how Adams and Jefferson learned this the hard way, trying to make treaties with Muslims in Algiers and Morocco, only to have them demand tribute and attack us anyway.)

So Iran is now doing exactly what I and anyone who knows anything about Islam and geopolitics predicted it would do, closing and opening the strait and demanding more. Currently Iran is demanding that the United States stop Israel from fighting back against Hezbollah attacks in Lebanon.

Assuming that J.D. Vance secures a blank check for Iran’s terrorists in Lebanon, there will be more demands, more closures and the humiliation rituals will go on until we wake up and stop jumping every time the terrorists shout… or until Iran’s ‘Death to America’ motto has been achieved.

You can’t negotiate with Islamic terrorists. All you can do is be taken hostage by them. Choosing to negotiate with them is choosing to be taken hostage. The moment we stop negotiating, the hostage crisis ends.

U.N. Nuclear Chief Rafael Grossi: Iran Inspections ‘Will Indeed Take Place’

Rafael Grossi, the head of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told reporters on Wednesday that his agency would “indeed” conduct inspections of Iranian nuclear sites, as the Iranian terror regime agreed to allow such inspections in its peace deal with America.

Tehran Friday sermon: Muslim cleric says that Iran has defeated U.S. and Israel, crowd screams ‘Death to America’

We have a strange spectacle. The war, or whatever it was, between the U.S. and Iran is over, and peace has dawned. Trump is touting his peace deal, while the Iranians are refusing to play along, and are instead making new demands, seeing Trump’s weakness and hoping he will promise that Israel will not retaliate against Hizballah’s jihad attacks in Lebanon before they give him his chimerical peace. Meanwhile, both Trump and the Iranian leadership are claiming victory. Which one has the more convincing case? Well, the Islamic Republic is still in power in Tehran. It is still screaming “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” It is refusing to give up its nuclear program, or, indeed, give an inch on anything else. Victory? Really, Mr. President?

This is a CNN story. CNN is known to be fake news.

US F-15 Pilot Shot Down Over Iran Recalls Being Swarmed by Iranian Drones in Terrifying ‘Jellyfish’ Formation

A US fighter pilot rescued after his plane was shot down in Iran has given a bone-chilling account of the moments before he was forced to eject, describing how he was swarmed by Iranian drones moving together in unison like some nightmarish jellyfish from hell.

“Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” one of the sources familiar with the pilot’s witness account told CNN.

Real alien sh*t,” the source added, recounting the pilot’s stunned reaction during his intelligence debriefing. Continue reading Iran defiant, ignores US claims of victory

Hezbollah Occupies Lebanon, Not Israel

Lebanese President to Iran: ‘This is not your country.’

Hezbollah doesn’t represent Lebanon, it’s an Iranian proxy holding the Lebanese people hostage. It’s time to free Lebanon from Iran’s grip.

Looks familiar? You’re right. We have seen this before:

Secretary of State John Kerry apologized for suggesting that Israel risks becoming an Apartheid state but this did not satisfy Israel’s distrust of the peace process after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas made a new unity agreement with Hamas, which the U.S. recognizes as a terrorist organization.

Hezbollah Leader: Israel is Censoring the Quran

Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem gave an Ashura speech on Sunday where he came up with a new Jewish conspiracy theory.
He stated, “Israel, through its presence and influence, has imposed in some countries that verses that speak about the Jews should not be taught so that future generations do not learn the history of the Jews and remain ignorant of historical facts.”
Essentially he is saying that some Muslim countries, under Israel influence, are not teaching the verses of the Quran that are negative towards Jews.
Which means that the head of Hezbollah just admitted that the Quran is antisemitic.
