Fans attending this year’ Australian Open (AO) tennis tournament must agree to be monitored by facial recognition cameras, under a new clause added to the Grand Slam’s terms and conditions. “By entering the tournament site,” says a report in The Age, “patrons acknowledge that security cameras which ‘may incorporate facial recognition technology’ will be used in order to ‘enhance security and patron safety’.” The terms and conditions specify that the latter includes, “without limitation, to assist in identifying and denying entry to, or ejecting, persons who have been removed or denied entry to the AO under these conditions (including persons who M&OP and TA reasonably believe it is in the best interests of the safety, security or integrity of the AO to do so), for other law enforcement purposes and contact tracing.” https://www.biometricupdate.com/202501/australian-open-gets-wicket-face-biometrics-for-express-entry

One down, most of Europe (and elsewhere) to go . . . In a win for free speech advocates, the Australian Government formally abandoned its misinformation bill over the weekend, after failing to secure support in the Senate. The proposed laws would have forced social media companies to show that they were preventing the spread of misinformation and disinformation on their platforms, with fines of up to 5% of global revenue for non-compliance.​ https://brownstone.org/articles/free-speech-win-down-under-as-misinformation-bill-is-officially-binned/

A Domino Effect, See what then WE FIGHT back. During this week, an interesting display of parliamentary dynamics unfolded as an array of Senators announced they would oppose the bill, one by one. Senators Lidia Thorpe, Tammy Tyrell, David Pocock, Jacqui Lambie, Gerard Rennick, Fatima Payman, and others declared their opposition. Their reasons varied from concerns over government overreach, and vague definitions of misinformation, to the implications for political discourse and the potential for misuse. Each statement chipped away at the bill’s support, creating a domino effect. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/australias-misinformation-bill-dead-now

It is not every day that you achieve the status of “he-who-must-not-be-named.” But that curious distinction has been bestowed upon me by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other publications. For more than a year, people who tried to research my name online using ChatGPT were met with an immediate error warning. It turns out that I am among a small group of individuals who have been effectively disappeared by the AI system. How we came to this Voldemortian status is a chilling tale about not just the rapidly expanding role of artificial intelligence, but the power of companies like OpenAI. Joining me in this dubious distinction are Harvard Professor Jonathan Zittrain, CNBC anchor David Faber, Australian mayor Brian Hood, English professor David Mayer, and a few others. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ghosted-chatgpt-how-jonathan-turley-was-first-defamed-then-deleted-ai

A network facilitating spy agencies’ intelligence-sharing between the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, known as Five Eyes, has its sights set on encryption, and proceeding from that, also online anonymity. Even more online censorship would also not be a bad idea – these are some of the highlights from the first public-facing paper the organizations behind this group have published. https://reclaimthenet.org/ive-eyes-targets-encryption-online-anonymity-censorship-extremism

Over 300 deadly virus samples have gone missing from a government-operated laboratory in Queensland, Australia. The missing virus samples include approximately 100 Hendra virus samples, 223 lyssavirus fragments, and two full hantavirus samples. These virus samples went missing In what is described as a “jaw-dropping and alarming breach of biosecurity”, according to the National Pulse. This news, which first emerged in August 2023, but didn’t get much attention, has sent shockwaves through the medical and scientific communities. https://activistpost.com/2024/12/300-deadly-virus-samples-go-missing-in-australia.html

Australia is gearing up to roll out some of the world’s strictest social media rules, with Parliament having pushed through legislation to bar anyone under 16 from creating accounts on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. It’s a sweeping measure but, as the ink dries, the questions are piling up. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor government and the opposition teamed up on Thursday to pass the new restrictions with bipartisan enthusiasm. And why not? Opinion polls show a whopping 77% of Australians are behind the idea. Protecting kids online is an easy sell which is why it’s often used to usher in the most draconian of laws. Still, the devil—as always—is in the details. https://reclaimthenet.org/australia-strict-social-media-rules-youth-digital-id

And the devastation continues to be recognized. The only question is, when, WHEN will someone be held accountable? Can RFK Jr kick the accountability off? There must be arrests, trials, and appropriate punishments . . . Top Molecular Scientist Confirms DNA Contamination in COVID ‘Vaccines’ Integrates into Human Cells A leading American molecular scientist has issued an explosive warning after making an alarming discovery about the DNA contamination in Covid mRNA “vaccines.” The red alert was issued by Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults, a professor in the Department of Drug Discovery and Biomedical Sciences at the University of South Carolina. Professor Buckhaults warns that the DNA contamination found in Covid shots can integrate into the genome of normal human cells.​.. ​..Experts and lawmakers in Australia have just issued a chilling warning to the rest of the world as a Western Australian town has started recording an unprecedented surge in deaths among the highly Covid-vaccinated population. The town of Port Hedland called an emergency Special Council Meeting with leading experts and local lawmakers to address the crisis.​ The meeting was called by three Port Hedland Town Councillors Adrian McRae, Lorraine Butson, and Camilo Blanco. During the meeting, Councillor McRae made the shocking revelation that funerals in the town have become overwhelmed with deaths since the Covid “vaccines” were rolled out for public use. McRae revealed that the crisis has provoked panic in the town after officials determined that the deaths are being caused by the long-term impact of DNA contamination in the Covid mRNA injections. Due to the staggering “sevenfold increase” in deaths, McRae revealed that the town has been forced to build a “cold body storage facility” to cope with the surge in corpses.​ “What happens when someone receives billions of these SV40 fragments in a single shot?” McRae said in a statement during the meeting. “What happens when these contaminated shots are administered multiple times as they have been to millions of Australians including Australian children?”​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/top-molecular-scientist-confirms-dna-contamination-covid-vaccines-integrates-human-cells/5873876

Press release (English) Notice of extreme concern regarding the safety of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines On 25th November an international group of politicians and leading medical and other professionals wrote to the heads of state of 10 European countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) calling for a suspension of all modified mRNA vaccines citing serious health concerns. The call builds upon a similar initiative in Australia brought by Mr. Russell Broadbent MP, and is supported by a scientific lay summary citing that: ● COVID-19 modified mRNA vaccines have resulted in unprecedented levels of side effects including death. Reproducible analyses of public data shows that it was a lottery as to which batch a person received and the side effects they experienced. ● Vaccines were never tested for their ability to block transmission. Hence, medical product regulators, as well as government agencies, misled the public when coercing the acceptance of these products. ● Multiple independent analyses now show that modified mRNA vaccines contain variable and unprecedented levels of residual DNA, raising extreme concerns for risks to human health and the potential for genetic damage. The call has very strong international support and demands: ● An immediate halt to the use of modified mRNA vaccines. ● An independent and transparent investigation into their approval and use. ● Scientific evidence that shows that there is no risk of damage to human DNA. Prime Ministers are asked to respond to the following questions: What is required to set up an independent and transparent forensic enquiry into the regulatory processes leading to the approval of modified mRNA vaccines? Is there anything that prevents the initiation and prioritization of research into potential links between modified mRNA vaccines and cancer, infertility, or other chronic diseases? Governments and regulatory bodies throughout the world need to respond appropriately to protect the well-being of their citizens. About this initiative The letter and scientific summary were cowritten by a team of qualified doctors and scientists within the NORTH Group. About the NORTH Group A coalition of engaged citizens from countries throughout Northern Europe. Our mission is to raise awareness about the potential harms posed by mRNA therapeutics.
