That is absurd. The TV and cinema show endless amounts of gratuitous violence. Hollywood in particular is gruesomely and unnecessary violent. So why is the CIA lady picking on one incident which is pathetic by comparison?

The one & only reason for the selective censorship is a little obscure right now. It’s actually the thin end of wedge of the real reason which is to silence political & ideological criticism.
Pretty bloody obvious when those backing the policy are in government & government has the power to decide what is “ truth “ & the same devious, immoral liars are not held to to account at all. In other words the devious, immoral liars are free to say & do what the rest of us must obey their laws.
Exactly which political party has dictatorial ambitions?? As always it’s the Socialists behaving like the National Socialists of Nazi Germany!.

How ridiculous.
FFS, how much more of a Nanny State can Australia become? This is absurd.
Lots of people searched for this video, especially after the e Safety Kommissar gave it free worldwide publicity by trying to ban it and her censorship efforts made Australia the laughing stock of the world – again.
And presumably the Kommisar herself watched it.
The video didn’t turn anyone it a murderer. It was a warning about a particular ideology being imported into Western countries.
Incidentally, the video was in fact banned in Australia. Elon did comply with the Kommisar’s dictatorial order. The Kommissar was trying to have it banned worldwide in jurisdictions beyond her control.
And folks, at election time, remember that it was the fake conservative Liberal Party that created the Kommissar’s position, not that Green Labor would be any different.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-24/thailand-rainmaking-cloud-seeding-air-pollution/104856708 Countries have long tried “cloud seeding” — injecting chemicals such as silver iodide into clouds to trigger rain or snowfall — in attempts to alleviate drought and, increasingly, air pollution. – that includes Australia, yeah?
40
Before Australia’s CSIRO became a climate and covid government propaganda agency they actually did legitimate scientific research. (Some younger members of the Thinking Community might find that hard to believe.)
They researched cloud seeding from the end of WW2 until 1971 and concluded that it either didn’t work, or wasn’t effective if it did.
60
They did it in the Snowy Mountains and in Tasmania in the 2000’s they weren’t allowed to make rain, only snow. It was fired from towers on the mountains in the Snowy’s and by plane in Tassie. It had more chemicals than Ag Iodine. The base chem’s were ethanol and aceytone and a few more. I’m unsure if they still do it.

Spanish politician demands end to anonymity and that all social media accounts should reside in a digital identity wallet.
The name of the wallet owner would be known to the authorities

That’s the plan for Australia as well.
But they’re disguising it under age authentication for people under 16 who are banned from social media in the Stupid Country.
How do you prove you’re under 16 without universal submission by all people of their digital person number to authorities and attaching it to your social media profile?
This will no doubt be used by Australia’s Chicomm-loving bureaucrats and politicians to create a Chicomm-style social credit score based on your social media posts and other criteria. From that your eligibility for the size of your insect ration will be assessed, housing size, and how far (if at all) you can travel beyond your “15 minute city”.
60
Yes, how will that work then, without everyone submitting their age in order to demonstrate they are over 16?
Someone, somewhere must have come up with a plan.

Identity wallets, ID cards, all that stuff has become comparatively less important now we have our constant AI companion who knows everything we read, write, hear, say, see, or do.

It’s strange and also disturbing that as the United States becomes more free economically (e.g. cancelling Paris Accords, deregulation) and personally (e.g. removal of censorship and racist and sexist DEI policies) the woke countries of the world are responding not by following TRUMP’s example, but by increasing their anti-free market policies and censorship and remain committed to DEI.
And you’d think things like getting out of Paris would be an election winner and liberator of the economy but in fanatically woke countries like Australia, both factions of the Uniparty remain resolutely committed to it.
Fake conservative Dutton of the Fake conservative Liberal Party is particularly disappointing in this regard. I know people say he’ll get out of Paris if he gets elected but I don’t believe him. If he hasn’t got the cajones to say it up front then to me, it’s not going to happen. The Liberal Party is one endless series of disappointments, and they haven’t been conservative since the time of Robert Menzies (was PM 1939-41 and 1949-66).
Vote for conservative-orientated parties only.
1) United Australia Party
2) Libertarian Party
3) One Nation

Of course the Woke politicians around the world are defending the alphabet religions. They have no choice. But the governments in the UK, France, Germany and Australia are on notice that they are out of step with the world’s biggest economy and the country on which they totally rely for defence. And as America changes, public opinion changes.
Meanwhile ultra woke Hollywood is fighting back with the Oscars, still trying to steer public opinion to DEI, Trans, ESG, BLM. In the nominees for Oscars, the pope is a hemaphrodite, Trump is a rapist, a transgender is nominated for an oscar and one crime drama follows a Mexican drug lord as he transitions from male to female. A story which really needs to be told. It may even generate a musical prequel.

Meanwhile Disney is thrashing around trying to sell a ridiculous Snow White, whose ‘skin was white as snow’, as a DEI including dwarfs who now have ranged from full size men to computer simulations, so avoiding hiring actual dwarfs. Because the beloved story of Snow White by the Brothers Grim over 200 years ago is fundamentally not DEI/ESG/BLM and the world knows it. And even Egypt complained loudly about the black Cleopatra, who was Greek, not even Egyptian.

Fauci news.
80
I heard that it was the US Marshall’s Service that provided the protection for Fauci
20
Well at least they didn’t publish his home address, his upcoming schedule for the month or where his family live. Maybe they should, just to be sure that people he helped during our recent pandemic can protect him from any evil intent.
Sometime later this year, when the trials begin, (under state laws first), he’ll need lawyers. Will he have to fund these himself or will the large pharmaceutical industry be picking up the tab? Maybe they’ll offer him protection too? Maybe they’ll provide him with a nice holiday location far away from any extradition ports.
Some would say that he needs to be in protective care, 24 hours a day, under constant watch, protected by some very high walls and locked doors, even having bars on the windows. Just make sure that the security cameras don’t get turned off.
He could even take on a new lover, Bubba. I’m sure Bubba loves him. Long time.
How long till the mini-series gets rolled out?
