Whenever someone mentions Julian Assange, I can't help but think of this video, and imagine him eating all the leftover spaghetti from the Equadorian Embassy's fridge with his feet up on their couch. https://youtu.be/Le3jrp6LzjI

There was a biography about him from years ago in the Monthly that goes a long way towards documenting his lifelong buildup of paranoia and aspirations of grandeur. https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2011/february/1324596189/robert-manne/cypherpunk-revolutionary

If people forget about [politicians]'s blatant corruption within less than a week even after it reaches nationwide news then I assure you nobody is going to remotely remember anything wikileaks says ever other than "something about emails". At best. That's their legacy now. Something something emails. Maybe. Nobody will be able to tell you anything about what they said or tweeted. Case in point, that was retweeted a whopping 100-ish times which is almost the same depth of penetration as Monday morning office gossip about what everyone did over the weekend.

Gorilla Salad posted:I just get so pissed off at Wikileaks because I really believed in what they were doing back when they first started Yeah, and I think at the outset they were a good thing. Obviously Assange going off the rails didn't help but also I think a lot of newspapers and other outlets were pretty quick to set up anonymous, untraceable whistle blower systems which largely made wikileaks redundant which has left them scratching around for a reason to exist

If push comes to shove none of those untraceable systems will prove to be accurately labelled. Maybe a surprise physical dead drop. Too bad if you get caught on overnight security camera though

I came across a really good article by Andy Fleming aka Slackbastard today, which has some really interesting discussion points seeing as we are coming up to another major round of ultranationalist protests on the 29th. It's basically a reflection and response piece regarding solidarity and the Coburg protests, which represented one of the last major physical clashes between ultranationalists and antifascists. The original article that Slackbastard is responding to is apparently written according to Marxist philosophy regarding solidarity and seld-emancipation. Basically the crux of the argument is whether the antifascists who actually managed to physically block the UPF/TBC (mere presence, rather than through punching on) were actually actively harming/or not harming the cause of the assembled anti-racists/antifascists who were in a mall a small distance away. The whole anti-confrontation article is sort of predicated on the pro-confrontation antifascists being a minority, and not truley acting out of solidarity. I'd actually argue that the media response heavily factors into the anti-confrontation argument (which focused on the excitement of the small clash which occured). Slackbastard argues that actually calling the people who confronted that UPF/TBC "scabs" is a bit poo poo and actually it prevented the ultranationalists from marching, which I think are extremely fair points. My view on this Coburg thing is that it was a tactical draw between the UPF/TBC and Anti-racists/antifascists. Originally, the anti-racists were going to do a march and ended up backing down after the UPF/TBC announced that they intended to counter-protest. However, the UPF/TBC were unable to march themselves due to the anti-fascists who physically blocked them. Strategically, the pro-multiculturalist cause won out here as the UPF/TBC failed to get their message out and Blair managed to make himself look like a stormtrooper again. The UPF/TBC haven't been able to pull big numbers like they used to like in the heady days of Reclaim Australia while the pro-multiculturalism guys seem to always get numbers. Moving forward, I think that if the Jan 29th rallies for ultranationalism aren't challenged, it'll embolden them and we might see another upswing. The recent attack in Berlin has certainly added to the alarmist mindset, although thankfully we haven't experienced mass violence which could be attributed to Islam (although it's sometimes played up in certain news outlets).

That's all a dog and pony show. The LNP would very much like such an issue in the media to distract from their rorting, corruption and undermining of federal law but it won't because wider Australia is wholly unaffected. Insofar as people still pay attention to legacy media that is. You know their own backers do.

It cost me less than $10,000 total for two adults to have a two and a half week holiday in the US. I'm sure it's a bit like Brewster's MIllions and us poors can't understand where to begin spending that kind of money, but I seriously can't fathom what kind of itemisation of expenses adds up to $10,000 a day even averaged out over the course of the whole trip with all flights to and from and a few domestic trips in first/business class.

If you look at the other MPs who went on that trip they all spent a lot on ground transport. I'm guessing they must have had a staff with them?  http://www.finance.gov.au/sites/default/files/P38_LEY_Sussan.pdf  http://www.finance.gov.au/sites/default/files/P38_ROBB_Andrew.pdf  http://www.finance.gov.au/sites/default/files/P38_COLBECK_Richard.pdf  http://www.finance.gov.au/sites/default/files/P38_FRYDENBERG_Josh.pdf  http://www.finance.gov.au/sites/default/files/P38_ROY_Wyatt.pdf
