Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

Don’t go off searching for wannabe nativist PM Hastie’s new vid almost failing to put a flagshagger sticker on a garbage bin. He’s playing to the ethnonationalist march crew with the plausible deniability of just opposing multiculturalism & First People’s unique identity in a call for 🇦🇺 unity 🙄
"Vote for us, we govern better than we put stickers on bins" WE DID 20 TAKES, AND THAT WAS THE BEST ONE.

The Crisafulli Queensland state government is known to be stacked full of anti-abortion politicians.

So it's no surprise there is a big movement in that state.

No surprise here. Dan Ryan’s run of radical Right of #Auspol and Atlas Network partner figures unite in the person of Jacinta Nampijinpa Price. She’s with the CIS. An Atlas link to Advance.

Will he be back to much more ethnonationalist next time? Watch this space.

The ultra rich give themselves permission to be predators - from refusing people healthcare for their children with cancer to systemic predation on literal child bodies. It’s time the numerical majority took back our power to place limits on this phenomenon. Nobody should be able to buy the law/gov.

New fascistic jargon alert. Another copy of Australian policy of dumping people in a foreign country without hope of a future. EU is using concept of “return hubs” as a prison/human warehousing concept for trapping people who don’t meet narrow def of refugees. 😡 Worse than 🇦🇺 Cambodia/Nauru/PNG
K Rescue.org/EU Donate Explainer What are 'return hubs', and why are they so concerning? 26 November 2025 = f The European Commission has proposed & creating so-called 'return hubs', detention facilities located outside of the EU's borders, designed to hold people whose asylum applications have been refused or who have been deemed unauthorised to remain in the EU for any other reason. K Rescue.org/EU Donate EU Home Affairs Commissioner, Magnus Brunner, has described & these hubs as one of the EU's "innovative solutions" to address returns. However, many civil society organisations, including the IRC, have warned that these facilities may well result in people being uprooted from their communities, families being torn apart, people being held in prison-like conditions, and a grave risk of increased human rights violations. く Why is the EU proposing this approach?

theshot.net.au Ryan interviewed Matthew Grant of the re-founded Australian Natives Association (ANA), which markets itself deploying militarised language. In 2015, Grant posted on the violent extremist Iron March chat forum that he was not a fascist because he was a supporter of laissez faire market economies. He expanded on his support for free enterprise with this caveat: "So long as you have a homogenous - hence why I'm a Nationalist - nation, the market can't be usurped by Jew-like profiteers". The ANA in NSW is a registered hunting organisation.

From Jonathon Cook. If you think the UK isn’t a hollowing-out democratic project, you’re fooling yourself. One judge was ready to give Palestine Action a fair hearing. So he got switched out for 3 Tory Israel allies.

Did you see the DDN video about the UK Israel lobby scuppering Corbyn?
Through class affiliation, upbringing, education and selection for temperament, senior judges invariably have a bias towards the interests of the British establishment. But some have a stronger bias than others. It is not hard to understand why Chamberlain has been removed. His earlier rulings on Palestine Action's proscription indicated that it might be difficult for him to rule in favour of the government. It is also clear why he is being replaced by three new judges. Backing the government's redefinition of terrorism - leading almost certainly to the jailing of former senior military personnel, barristers, doctors, priests, Holocaust survivors, and a former adviser to King Charles, all of whom who have publicly supported Palestine Action - risks looking like precisely what it is: a political decision in favour of lawlessness by the British state. Having a ruling from a panel of three judges is a desperate attempt to create a veneer of judicial authority in support of the actions of an outlaw government. It won't work. This already looks like a self-evident stitch-up to extricate Sir Keir Starmer and his ministers from the mess they have made of British terrorism laws - all so they can continue conspiring in Israel's genocide. Dame Victoria Sharp is a from a family with extensive and close ties to the Conservative party. She is the twin sister of Richard Sharp, who was appointed chair of the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, after Sharp had helped secured the Tory prime minister a £800,000 loan. Sharp was later forced to resign. Victoria Sharp is best known for jailing climate activists involved in peaceful protest and for forcing journalist Carole Cadwalladr to pay Brexit donor Aaron Banks £1 million in legal fees after he sued for libel. Dame Karen Steyn was one of two judges who replaced Justice Chamberlain in the F-35 hearing. She and Justice Males ruled in Israel's favour, even while accepting that Israel could use F-35s in Gaza in violation of international law. Sir Jonathan Swift, meanwhile, has a long history of siding with the British state - for eight years he was the government's top lawyer. In 2023 Swift rejected the appeal of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange against the British government's approval of his extradition to the US for exposing US and UK war crimes. The US wanted to lock him up indefinitely in a super-max prison.

Just a reminder from 2016: Pauline Hanson is playing the same old stale game with her burqa stunt. This is her cliched grift.

BY LUCY HAMILTON OCTOBER 13, 2016 A recent 'Conversazione on Culture and Society' event staged in Melbourne has given Lucy Hamilton pause for thought... not all of it charitable. On September 14, as Pauline Hanson reminded us that Australia is being swamped by Asians.... Sorry. Let me start again. As Pauline Hanson reminded us that Australia is being swamped by Muslims, a forum was taking place in some of Melbourne's most elite surroundings, where a society of the country's top businessmen, journalists and ex-politicians discussed the same message: the decline of the West is upon us and it is the result of Muslim migration.

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

s3.amazonaws.com/nursing-netw...
Kentucky Public Health KENTUCKY HEALTH ALERT Increase in Pertussis in Kentucky Recommendations for Identification and Prevention November 21, 2025 Kentucky health officials are alerting providers that cases of pertussis ("whooping cough") have increased steadily across the Commonwealth in recent weeks. To date, 566 cases of pertussis have been reported in Kentucky in 2025, the highest number of cases in the Commonwealth since 2012. This follows a trend that was first announced in July 2024 when pertussis cases began increasing in Kentucky to levels not seen in over a decade. Health officials anticipate that pertussis will continue to increase during the winter months based on historic trends. Many U.S. states and other countries are also experiencing elevated levels of pertussis. Many of the recent cases have occurred in young infants, and health officials also recently confirmed the third pertussis-related death in a Kentucky infant within the last year. This follows two other infant deaths that were announced in June. These are Kentucky's first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy. Health officials urge all Kentuckians to remain up to date on recommended pertussis immunizations and emphasize the importance of maternal immunization during pregnancy, and for all infants beginning promptly at two months of age. Health officials also encourage providers to consider pertussis as a diagnosis in addition to circulating seasonal respiratory viruses such as influenza, RSV and COVID-19. A significant number of cases have also occurred in school-aged children, many of whom were up to date on pertussis vaccination. Immunity from vaccination or natural infection wanes over time so infections can occur in people who are fully vaccinated. However, the vaccine is known to reduce disease severity, and hospitalization among vaccinated individuals is rare. The Kentucky Dep… Kentucky Public Health regularly in Kentucky, however an increase beyond the expected background rate has been reported in recent weeks. Though pertussis vaccination (DTaP or Tdap) is available and widely implemented, B. pertussis continues to spread in the U.S. due to lack of vaccination or timely boosters, the lack of lifelong immunity from vaccination or natural infection and the long duration of infectiousness in untreated cases. Symptoms of pertussis usually begin with a runny or congested nose, a low-grade fever, and mild coughing; apnea/stopping breathing can also occur in infants. After one to two weeks, the cough can progress to rapid, violent (paroxysmal) coughing fits that can cause the "whooping" sound, vomiting or labored breathing. Young children are the most severely affected; most teens and adults will have mild symptoms. People with preexisting health conditions that may be worsened by whooping cough are at high risk for developing a severe infection. Testing for Pertussis: The preferred methods for pertussis testing include nasal pharyngeal (NP) swab or nasal wash via PCR testing or culture. PCR has optimal sensitivity during the first three weeks of cough, is widely available at commercial laboratories and has a fast turnaround time. Culture is considered the gold standard due to excellent specificity but may take longer to complete. Serology for antibodies to B. pertussis is available at many commercial laboratories, however, serologic assays are not generally recommended for primary diagnosis of pertussis due to variability and unknown clinical accuracy. The most promising serologic assays are those that measure IgG antibodies against pertussis toxin only and are collected two to eight weeks following cough onset. Prevention of Pertussis: Prevention of pertussis is primarily achieved through routine vaccination with DTaP (ages two months to six years) and Tdap (ages seven years and older), followed by appropriate booster doses. Vaccination of pr… Bordetella parapertussis B. parapertussis is a bacterium that is similar to B. pertussis and can cause pertussis-like illness but does not produce pertussis toxin. Symptoms of parapertussis are typically milder and infection may be asymptomatic. There is no vaccine for B. parapertussis and post-exposure prophylaxis is not recommended, however treatment recommendations for symptomatic patients are the same as those for B. pertussis. B. parapertussis is not reportable in Kentucky. Thank you for your attention to this alert and guidance. The KDPH pertussis website includes supplemental resources, including a pertussis quicksheet with additional information that providers may find useful. If you have questions regarding reporting, testing, or prevention of pertussis or other infectious diseases, please contact the Kentucky Immunization Branch at (502) 564-4478 or after hours by calling the KDPH Epidemiology on-call line at 888-9-REPORT (888-973-7678).
