OTD in 2016 Assange said there isn't a need for Wikileaks in Russia co competitors like Navalny "are permitted".

The guy we tried to blind. Then tried to kill. More than once. Then jailed. Then disappeared. Then we actually killed him.

So those were wise words.

i'm sorry this is one of the last things epstein ever wrote
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Ukraine’s SBU eliminates a Russian war criminal. Right in Moscow. Their reach is long. Slava Ukraini!
An explosion hit a car in the Moscow region this morning. Russian media report the target was senior officer Fanil Sarvarov, head of operational training, a veteran of Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and the war against Ukraine. An IED was planted under the vehicle. He was reportedly killed.

Can't help noticing Matt Golding's latest cartoon (below) was published on The Age's letters page, but not in its Sydney Morning Herald counterpart.

Given the latter's 'coverage' (for want of a better word) of #bondibeach, I'm not surprised.

Four years, over a million Russian casualties, and yet Russia occupies far less Ukrainian land than it did one month into its full-scale invasion, when it had only tens of thousands of casualties.

This failure will be studied in military academies for the next decades

👀 Unconfirmed info from RU and UA channels:

In the Mediterranean Sea, Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked a tanker belonging to Russia's shadow fleet.

The ship was carrying officials from GRU, responsible for drone espionage in Europe, sabotage... Seven were injured and two were killed.

Australia’s delivery of its final batch of Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine, following a discreet 55-day transit, underscores a deliberate shift toward sustained assistance.
Strategically, Canberra’s move reflects tighter alignment of logistical complexity and political risk to reinforce Kyiv.

This is quite a coup by Ukraine. A Russian missile submarine at the dock, in a secure harbour, has been crippled by a submarine suicide drone, and there wasn’t even a ripple on the surface to warn that it was about to happen. Slava Ukraini!
As if leaving me with another submarine that now can't sink, to go with all the ships that now don't float, the Ukrainians even hacked our surveillance cameras so we filmed their attack for them.

1/2 The Sydney Jewish community and Australia have experienced the horror of terrorist violence.

The PM's Antisemitism Envoy has cynically used this tragedy to demonize peaceful protests for #FreePalestine and an end to the #GazaGenocide.

If Albanese wants 'social cohesion', she needs to go.

Almost hidden on the far side of the local lake, a pair of Australasian Grebes are nesting. 4 or 5 pale blue eggs are laid in a nest which is a floating mound of vegetation attached to a submerged branch or reed.

I thought this Trump post was a satirical fake when I first saw it, but it’s real. At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, the man is a deranged sicko.
Not that it's not appalling enough, but this is an official US Government post, paid for by our federal tax dollars.

"The power of one man in a white T-shirt coming between a terrorist and his victims is being shown around the world as an example of how Australia...conducts itself in the face of terror."

Yet Jillian Segal failed to mention this man's courage.
Or his name.

Disgraceful of Jillian Segal to use the Bondi attack to demand “acceleration” of her abhorrent recommendations & already point fingers w/out even waiting for police to uncover any details, esp when she failed to ever stand up against the worst antisemites around, the Neo Nazis.

I see war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu lying on global TV. He says that the person who stopped a Bondi Beach shooter, Ahmed al Ahmed, was a Jewish man. The hero is in fact, a 43-year-old muslim fruit shop owner from Sydney - and this has been multiple source confirmed.
