A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

Linda Reynolds is astonishingly blind to the fact that it is her own actions that trashed her reputation. Suing and bankrupting a young woman she concedes was raped in her office consigned her forever to infamy as a truly terrible person, something of we're reminded every time she whines to the Oz.

We broke significant national news this week and not a single mainstream media outlet wanted to cover it or follow up. It isn't surprising, but it is illustrative. Put simply, they're all owned and operated by Zionist billionaires. This is why indie media needs to exist.
