Producers (or whoever they are) cutting to the wrong car is a normal part of TV coverage of motor racing. You can see at 0:22 that both cars are on track near each other at the same time.

Has anyone successfully linked their vac certificate with the mySA Gov app? I tried but firefox on android just opens up a page for the app, not the app itself.

In 2018, Mr Boikov was referring to Australia when he told a Russian media outlet that “we have a unique opportunity to support Russia from within an enemy state”.

He said Cossacks in Australia could “pursue a pro-Russian position, lobby politicians and members of parliament, oppose anyone who lies about Russia, attacks Russia or imposes sanctions. Basically, they can wage an information war.”

Ok. That Four Corners story was sloppy expository journalism because it was reporting the claims of fringe extremists at face value for cheap shock value.

Do you really think "Australian Cossacks" are an influential group in Australia? Do you really think they have wide-spread support or are an effective political entity?



Also come on. We know that Q and other SovCit factions are a thing in Australia. But they are an extreme minority radicalised by boring socio-economic means. Pretending that there's some pure truth behind all these conspiracies that will lift the veil from their eyes is buying into the bullshit.

I actually enjoyed one of your early articles about the effectiveness and origins of Q. It was long-winded but made sense by the end.

But you're not going to solve anything by digging into all these theories and reading all these long-winded articles on fringe threats to Australian democracy. Its not an issue that can be solved by posting, either on forums like this or on websites like medium.

Take a few months off and you'll see that even if the protests of these groups grow or shrink, the status quo won't change. Remember when the truckies were going to kill supply lines and parliament was going to be stormed earlier this year?

You seem well intentioned but just internet poisoned. I get being concerned about these things but following them closely is just a really dumb and niche version of doom scrolling. Take a break and focus on issues you can actually solve, since you clearly have drive and energy and are willing to engage people.

Someone posted a picture of the Cossack alongside the leader of a new political party funded by a coal baron. He is in fact a prominent figure in the movement. All I did was share information on his background. He is aligned with Jim Saleam and the National Golden Dawn. This thread used to be actively anti-fascist. Or maybe that was more the LF embassy. But you immediately called it brain worms.

He does not exist alone or in a vacuum. Politics is being influenced in ways I think you underestimate.

When I see a decentralised transnational network of theocratic fascists manipulating people into supporting their agenda by weaponising digital disinformation to exploit people's dissatisfaction with the pandemic (and concerns about "saving the children"), without any meaningful response, I'm going to call it out. Journalism is actually an important tool. I have provided major outlets with material which has formed some cracks. I got one of the leaders of the anti-lockdown movement to blow the whistle on the far-right organisers involved. But the idea that this is all just an extension of an internet prank that spiralled out of control has a tremendous amount of inertia which has been very difficult to counteract, and is not helped when simply pointing out someone's history gets dismissed as "wheels within wheels conspiracy posting".

In any case I have taken a few months off. I'm glad you enjoyed one of the earlier articles. I wrote a few that looked at different parts from different angles, then came back about a week ago and wrote one that tied it all together. It's the culmination of the whole thing and is arguably a world first, and has been well received, hopefully you might enjoy that too, would certainly be interested in your thoughts. It might get turned into a doco of some kind, otherwise yes I can step back again.

Campaign finance laws can actually make this tricky. But You don't need to show up with stacks of cash, you can just start telegram channels with names like "FREEDOM RISING AUSTRALIA" or whatever and pump thousands of people with any propaganda you like. Or both of course, they're not limited to one or the other.

I appreciate the reading up on fringe elements because the upcoming federal election will be decided by how they behave and if they centralise behind a singular party.

This is why UAP is pivoting to anti vax, to chase these people and build an actual base that isn't comprised of bribed Queensland mining magnate staffers.

the cossacks were the ones who carried out the pogroms. they were instructed from above, but they were the ones who did the killing. they are their own culture with a very long history, but most recently they are renowned for storming into jewish settlements and murdering everybody, forcing a huge exodus of jewish refugees from the russian territories. it is probably not a good thing that somebody has had the idea of digging up that very recent genocidal history and promoting a person who glorifies it alongside the nazis and qs and clives

You get that this in itself is significant and can potentially change the future of Australia, right? If they suppress enough of the ALP vote in the right electorates, they can absolutely swing the election. And even just having all that kind of content being thrown around makes a difference too.

try to always keep in mind that the fascists are at the stage now where they've consolidated their base, now they are organising the forces they will need to mobilise when they make the move from rhetoric to outright violence. everything you see at the "freedom" rallies is a strategic step in that direction.

I wouldn't lump Ukrainians in with Russians, they really won't appreciate that for the most part.

In Eastern Ukraine there's a lot of pro-Russian feeling but the Australian communities in SA and Vic are now a generation or two removed and they still think the Russians should gently caress off.

I was trying to imply that they're not going to be any different than people voting for other crank groups. They all flow towards LNP. People voting for Cossacks would have just voted for some other gently caress wit anyway.
