In Episode 1.6 Until All of Us are Free, None of Us are Free we focus on the fundamental connections between the struggle for an end to the genocide in Gaza and the liberation of Palestine and Palestinian people with oppressed peoples everywhere. In particular in this episode we recognise interconnections and entanglements across the movements for prison abolition, queer and trans liberation, and for disability justice.You'll hear recorded speeches from Turtle Island (US)-based Black lesbian abolitionist Prof Andrea Ritchie at last November's Sisters Inside conference, and from trans woman and abolition organiser Necho Brocchi at Magandjin's Trans Day of Resistance gathering that took place on November 25, 2023. Both of these speakers trace the importance of recognising the co-constitution of struggles for an end to incarceration and to oppression and violence against trans people with the struggles for Indigenous sovereignty and to end the genocidal settler-colonial occupation of Palestine.Also in this episode, you'll hear Han in deep discussions with queer Palestinian academic and community organiser Fahad Ali, and with Wiradjuri, Irish and Flemish disability justice organiser and writer Vanamali (Mali) Hermans. And we have extracts from an interview conducted by Anna in collaboration with Belle from 4ZZZ's Only Human with deaf Palestinian Mazen Al-Khaldi, who went viral for his video sharing how to sign “Free Free Palestine” in Auslan, the sign language of the majority of the australian deaf community.If you've just found your way to our podcast, our aim is to archive the ongoing movement for Palestinian liberation as it unfolds on the unceded lands of the Yuggera, Yugarapul, Jagera, Turrbal and Yugumbeh peoples, across so-called brisbane and the surrounding cities of south east queensland. You can start here with Episode 1.6, but you might want to scroll back a bit further to begin with Episode 1.1 Settler Colonialism and the Current Crisis.This podcast is produced and recorded on unceded Jagera & Turrbal country.

In this episode, we amplify the rich and powerful tradition of Blackfulla Palestinian solidarity in this place. We contextualise the understandings of settler colonialism, racial violence and genocide that are shaping the struggle for Palestinian liberation in relation to the history of this country, drawing clear connections between the struggle against colonisation on this continent and the fight for Palestinian liberation and land. To start this episode, you'll hear Dr. Jamal Nabulsi reflecting on the power of movements that understand Indigenous sovereignty as the primary frame of reference for struggle, and the political possibilities that have emerged from Blackfulla Palestinian solidarity in this present moment. Then, we dig back into the Justice for Palestine Magandjin archive to share a recording of the Blackfulla Palestinian Solidarity dinner hosted by Justice for Palestine Magandjin & the Institute for Collaborate Race Research in March 2023.

A public holiday was declared in Australia on 22 September to mark a day of mourning for the passing of the Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. And it was indeed a day of mourning for many First Nations Australians – but a day of mourning for Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, a day of mourning for loss of land, the attempted loss of culture, the removal of children and the continued and ongoing dispossession of Aboriginal people.Across the country, the Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance organised rallies calling for the Abolition of the Monarchy, a return of land, and an end to Aboriginal deaths in custody.On today's program, I will bring you some of the speeches from the Melbourne rally.  And later on the program, one speech from the 50 yr anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra, as another marker of Aboriginal people's resistance to the Monarchy and to colonisation.With the voices of Donna Kerr and Meriki Onus, the family of Josh Kerr who died in custody 6 weeks ago; Lidia Thorpe, Australian Senator; and Dtarneen Onus, reading out a statement of Uncle Percy Nelson who was the partner of Veronica Nelson who died in custody.

January 26 in Australia is a controversial day as it is commemorated as both 'Australia Day' as the founding of the country and as 'Invasion Day' as the commencement of the dispossession and genocide of its Indigenous people.Every year there are major Invasion Day rallies around the country.

Following the major rallies across the country last week to commemorate Invasion Day, the date on which, in 1788, the rising of the flag of Great Britain by Governor Arthur Philip at Port Jackson in NSW, this week on the show, we talk about what next, where to. I spoke with two of the organisers of the Melbourne Rally, Meriki Onus and Crystal McKinnon, from the Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance.

As part of 2018’s Seven Days of Resistance WAR: Warriors for the Aboriginal Resistance, held a Black GST Public Forum. Long-time Indigenous activists Tony Birch; Margi Thorpe; Robbie Thorpe; and non-Indigenous ally Clare Land talked Genocide, Sovereignty, Treaty. This audio is an excerpt from that discussion. A cultural warning: the audio here contains the voice of a deceased person: Alice Pearl Daiguma Eather’s ‘My Story is Your Story’. The music in this piece is ‘Spirit’ by bangarra dance company. At times Robbie’s confrontational, and while his is only one person’s view, he tells it the way he sees it, and we love him for that. "The only hope you got is the spirit of this land, which we represent and embody. Us. We carry that with us; that divinity" — Robbie Thorpe (Jan 26 2018) There's a direct and urgent link between genocide, ecocide, homicide & suicide. The Black GST contends that three fundamental issues must be resolved for the holistic wellbeing of the Indigenous peoples of the Australian continent: Stop Genocide; Acknowledge Sovereignty; Make Treaties. Until this happens, we all have nothing.

The new extreme Black Lives Matter movement has turned its attention to historical wiping of our statues, places, brands, films and comedy. On this week's WilmsFront we expose the enablers of the new war on human history with Australian filmmaker Paul Moder and Antifa expert and Unshackled Contributor Lucas Rosas. Paul Moder is Australian filmmaker who has been in the Australian film industry for close to three decades. His specialty is gory special effects but is also an actor, comedian, producer, direction and writer Paul won the Best Gratuitous Use of Violence Award for his work on the 2003 Australian exploitation film Bullet in the Arse at the 2003 Melbourne Underground Film Festival which is operated by Report from Tiger Mountain Host Richard Wolstencroft. Paul is currently in pre-production on WASP The Port Arthur Massacre which has already attracted controversy due to his standing as a dissent filmmaker. He was interviewed by Waleed Aly about the film on the Project in 2016. Paul and I discuss the causes of this sudden push to wipe historical films and comedies for apparently glorifying racial and colonial oppression or blackface character acting. We explore what this means for the future of comedy in our society and why comedy and making people laugh is so important for us and free speech. The extreme Black Lives Matter globalist version 2.0 has been imported into Australia by the usual far-left Marxist and anarchist agitators in Australia. After largely obeying the coronavirus lockdown in Australia they are back protesting on mass. Lucas Rosas has now written over 100 articles exposing the far-left groups and players in Australia. Socialist Alternative sister organisation Solidarity was the only far-left group to break the lockdown protesting outside a dentition centre in Preston in inner north Melbourne and being fined by Victoria Police. They also orgiansied a protest in Melbourne back in February against the travel ban from China. The Black Lives Matter protests in Australia’s major cities were organised by either the Australian Communist Party and Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance. Socialist Alternative played a supporting role, their far-left extremist Marxist views were not highlighted by the mainstream media. After last Friday night’s Black Lives Matter rally in Sydney where they attempted to march on Captain Cook’s statue in Hyde Park, two women came back and vandalized it One of them was Xiaoran Shi a part-time staffer for NSW Greens MLC David Shoebridge, the most extreme far-left elected member of the Greens who has spoken at Marxist events. Discussed throughout the interview is ABC Radio National’s recent Background Briefing episode alleging that the racist “far-right” is exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to whip up anti-Asian fears. According this report being critical of the Chinese Communist Party and that the People’s Republic of China gave birth to the coronavirus is racist.

The organiser of the Sydney Black Lives Matter rally has rubbished claimed by Australia’s peak medical body which suggested those who attended should self-isolate amid fears of a spike in COVID-19 cases.The Australian Medical Association (AMA) yesterday issued a plea to the thousands of Australians who attended demonstrations on Saturday.AMA President Tony Bartone urged anyone who attended a rally to self-isolate for the next fortnight, watch for symptoms, and get tested if any emerge, saying the protests took place “in defiance of the public health warnings” and put the community at risk.“We need to be very clear – we are still very much in the early phase of dealing with COVID-19,” Dr Bartone told reporters in Melbourne today.“Mass gatherings are certainly the last gatherings on the list (of restrictions) and it was clearly against the advice of all the health authorities.”He said anyone who attended the protests should “consider their position”, adding the “only safe way … of minimising any risk of it (coronavirus) spreading over the next 14 days is to ensure that we keep our distance from the rest of the community”.But Raul Bassi, who went to court to ensure protesters could lawfully gather in Sydney, says there’s no need to take precautions.“If they want to self isolate they can but we don’t think it is necessary because we followed all the rules,” the 73-year-old told The Daily Telegraph.“We had plenty of face masks and hand sanitiser and everyone was appropriately distanced. I walked from one side of the demonstration in the park to the other and did not have to say excuse me once because everyone was separated.”Citing the incubation period of COVID-19 – which on average is around five days – Dr Bartone said there only needed to be one infectious person who attended a rally “to have infected many, many others”.“Indeed if that one person is a superspreader, the ability to infect many tens of people is very easily achieved,” he said.Dr Bartone said as a health professional, he was “extremely worried” about the images he saw of the protests in cities and towns around the nation – held in solidarity with anti-racism protests across America following the death of George Floyd – because Australians had made huge sacrifices to try to contain the virus.“The pictures on the weekend really put all of that at risk,” he said.“The game is very much alive and we all need to be vigilant, but especially those who attended the rally.”Organisers of the protest in Melbourne, Warriers of the Aboriginal Resistance, issued a similar call today, asking attendees to self-isolate for at least 14 days in a Facebook post this morning, the ABC reported.The group told followers they should avoid visiting elderly people in the next fortnight, and to speak to a doctor if they developed any virus-like symptoms.“We want to thank everyone for taking the precautions seriously and wearing a mask. I think about 99 per cent of you did it! It was amazing to see,” they said.“Please ensure you self-isolate for at least 14 days after the rally.“Speak to a doctor if you have cold or flu-like symptoms.”While only a handful of new virus cases have been reported in the last few days around Australia, deputy chief medical officer Paul Kelly on Sunday warned health authorities to be on the alert.“We don’t know if anyone in those mass gatherings were infected or infectious, and so it is a wait-and-see approach,” Prof Kelly told reporters in Canberra, adding he understood why people wanted to join in the protests.Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt told ABC radio he hoped the rallies that clearly broke COVID-19 social distancing rules wouldn’t lead to a new wave of infections.“If there is someone who is infectious in the midst of a crowd like that, that can have a catastrophic impact,” Mr Hunt said.While Victoria’s deputy chief health officer Annaliese van Diemen commended most protesters for wearing face masks, Today host Karl Stefanovic l...

Even the most spineless of liberals have noticed the difference.This show was recorded on Thursday the 4th of June to meet deadline. 3CR studios are still closed. My apologies if there are glaring ommissions in the show. The situation out there is developing rapidly. Yesterday, the 6th of June, was the Melbourne Black Lives Matter protest organised by the Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance and participated in by a broad section of society. This was the biggest protest in Melbourne under any type of social distancing restrictions.I hope that the event was a success. I expect there was brutality and probably a lot of fines.Today's show will cover, in part, the current trouble in the imperial core, responses to said trouble, attempts from the imperial core to distract from the dysfunction, and compare the BLM protests in the US with the Hong Kong protests. Coronavirus news is on hold this week! First up, TROUBLE IN THE IMPERIAL CORE: namely the protests sparked by the "alleged" police murder of George Floyd. - US National guard depployments - 62,000 Nation Guard Members on duty according to National Guard Bureau. These troops operate under State Active Duty orders in co-operation and somewhat subordinate to state and local law enforcement. The rules as to force and armaments vary from state to state. Ranging from crowd-control armaments - batons, tasers and peppery spray in Colorado to pistols in Minnesota.    Washington DC's National Guard is activated in its entirety and this particular grouping takes orders from the president, rather than the state authorities. - People continue to be murdered by police so far in ongoing protests. In Louisville David McAtee, BBQ restaurant owner was murdered by the police. No body camera footage is available to corroborate police claims they were returning fire because no body cameras were turn on. In response to this particular piece of news the police chief of Louisville was fired by the mayor. David McAtee is still dead. - It is telling that the country which had precious little money to respond to COVID-19 has bottomless coffers when it comes to deploying the full might of the state against its citizens and paying overtime for police. It's a classic portrayal of the kinds of rights which US citizens enjoy: abstract rights of political expression and free speech and the actual right to be murdered by an out-of-control police force which grew up watching the same kind of disgusting police dramas which still poison the minds of the populace today. No money for PPE but money for teargas. - Defense Secretary Mark Esper: “I think the sooner that you mass and dominate the battlespace, the quicker this dissipates and we can get back to the right normal,” said in a call with governors on Monday. The use of military language and tactics to control the populace is not new and is part of the problem which civilians have with the so-called "right normal".------ Attempted distractions from the imperial core    Some kind of bizarre play to the envangelical right with Trump walking to a church. To provide this passage there was a huge assualt on gathered protests. During this assault an Australian 7 news cameraman was hit with a teargas projectile fired by police. To hear protestants say Trump is doing a Jericho walk should be a moment of shame for people of faith.    US Courts have ruled that Syrian and Iran are liable for damages for American citizens who are wonded and killed by Palestinians in Israel in yet another insult to sovereignty. This isn't the first time US courts have tried this one and I doubt it will be the last.        The US and UK imperial mainstream and the confused elements of the left over there and in Australia are all concerned about a proposed law in Hong Kong. According to such media agencies: "China's proposed national security law could end Hong Kong as we know it." Considering HK as it lies is a vestigial remnant of UK colonialism I think that the end of HK "as we know it" would be a good thing for HKers. The usual cohort of "pro-democracy" US bootlickers have lined up to whinge about it. US law-makers are assessing it under the Hong Kong Democracy and Human Rights Act- this is an act for which aforementioned subaltern imperialists lobbied. Under the act the US assesses whether HK is sufficiently autonomous from China and if not, sanctions will be applied. This "autonomy" actually means how rigorously HK is advancing the foreign policy interests of the United States of America. HK must enforce US sanctions, export law and trade policy relating to mainland China to safeguard US business interests operating in HK from the realities of business in a space which is being de-colonised by the PRC.     Added to this the US is weighing in on China's policies toward its own ethnic minorities, namely, the Uyghur muslims in Xinjiang - a topic covered on Alternative News in previous months. In essence, East Turkestan separatists have allied with the sinophobic West over a disagreement about what China should do to manage poverty and terrorism in the northwest of the country and then how to manage a transition from an agraian economy to a technology-manufacturing economy. Today I saw a claim that there are 2 million Uyghurs in concentration camps in Xinjiang. This is the biggest figure so far. I hope, one day, that I see reports of 10 million detainees. These figures are absolute garbage and should be ridiculed and treated as such. The fact that our media parrots these figures handed down to us from US newspapers and Australian think-tanks sponsored by US weapons manufacturers should really be ringing the alarm bells.HK protests 2019-2020 vs USA protests 2020CharacterisationHK protests largely characterised (in good and bad faith) as anti-auth, anti-imprial, left-wing protests. This is because they are protesting both the HK govt and the govt of the PRC. These protests are mis-characterised *in the interests of US Imperialism*.The idea that these protests are left-wing is hard for me to understand. The demands of the protestors are: Withdraw the extradition bill, don't call the protests 'riots', amnesty for arrested protesters, independent inquiry into police use of force against protesters and for the CE (wtf) of HK to resign with new CEs elected. These demands have largely arisen from the activities of the protests themselves. The only 'democratic' demand is the one calling for the election of a chief exec.How about: affordable housing, extradition bill should only be for financial crimes, the expansion of existing poverty eradiction programs, sustainable development ONLY, UK reparations for 150 years of colonialism? How about: the end of financial capitalism? 90% tax rate on the 1%? Massive expansion of social programs?Possibly because these are the demands of the poor and marginalised, and the protests do not comprise these groups.Being pro-democracy does not mean left-wing. For instance, the USA is a democratic country but we don't call the USA left-wing. Australia is a democracy but you wouldn't call us left-wing.The foolish assumption that if there are protestors they are in the right has duped the vast majority of the left. Smashing windows doesn't make you left-wing.Now, the protests in the USA. Are the protesters left-wing? Are they in the right? What are their demands? There are plenty of smashed windows - are these protest, not, in fact, the SAME as the HK protests? I think not.Police ramming protesters with cars, the national guard firing at people who are on their porches, ongoing murders by police - these things are not common across both movements. These things are only happening in the United States of America. Why is this? This answer may not shock you: The USA is an authoritarian police-state in which you are free to speak your mind, catch COVID-19 while becoming medically bankrupt and then get shot in the face with a rubber bullet for walking home. But at least it's not communism!To conclude: the HK protests have more in common with right-wing "quarantine=communism" protests than they do the current wave of protests in the US sparked by the police murder of George Floyd.This brings me, with some chagrin to an appeal for support for this radio station, 3CR. Please donate. You can do so at 3cr.org.au and put your favourite show down too. I note that at this time there is a huge push for donations to Indigenous Lives causes. These causes are highly valuable. The Campaign For International Co-operation and Disarmament supports these causes - as does 3CR. On the Altnertive News page on 3CR I will include a list of ATSI Lives, Land and Labour causes which I encourage you to give to. I understand this is a rough time for heaps of us. My apologies if this is one request too many. Systemic racism is real and it has real-life implications. Oppressed people the world over suffer under the heel of this ill. Indigenous people in Australia are part of this cohort. Since the Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody in 1991 there have been 432 further deaths and ZERO convictions. This must end. Black Lives Matter.(presenter signs off) 

The far-left Marxist extremists, social media giants, celebrities and the politico-media complex have fulled the flames of the US riots and trying to export them around the world. They are master baiters when it comes to racial politics, division and grievances. The Uncuckables panel tonight will call out all the fake, covered up and manipulated news with  Tim Wilms Editor in Chief of The Unshackled, David Hiscox, Editor of the XYZ and James Fox Higgins Director of Rational Rise TV. A month ago we were all under house arrest in the name of public health and safety due to the coronavirus pandemic. Yet the same parties who enforced and supported the shutdown of our society are now cheering on the widespread rioting, looting and random acts of senseless violence and assaults. These riots were all triggered by the death of 45-year-old African-American man George Floyd after an incident of police brutality in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Despite the city and state being run by Democrats, it is MAGA country that is being blamed and President Trump's vow to restore law and order is being blamed for fuelling the violence. The expression go woke go broke in regard to corporate virtue signalling has turned into go woke get looted. Woke corporations Nike and Target have been looted, as have woke small business owners. Some corporations like Ben and Jerry's, Chick-fil-A and Bank of America have responded by going even woker. The far-left in Australia are attempting to import Black Lives Matter rallies to Australia this weekend. Despite cracking down on anti-lockdown protests and threatening to fine businesses exceeding their capacity state governments and police have been timid in enforcing social gathering and distancing requrements for the planned rallies. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has pleaded with the local Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance to cancel the rallies and claimed he's on their side. The mainstream media is learning during riots and civil unrest their special media rights and privileges don't mean anything. Two Australia reporters who were attacked covering Black Lives Matter rallies in London. A Channel Seven crew were pushed by police in Minneapolis and a CNN crew were arrested.

Acknowledgement of country Alternative News We speak with Sharner Bremner the founder and director of End Rape on Campus Australia. EROC provides assistance and support to higher education students who have been sexually assaulted or harassed. We discuss the systemic issues behind the recent award of an Order of Australian to men’s rights activist Bettina Arndt, the widespread nature of victim blaming and the crucial importance of believing survivors.  Following Invasion Day 2020 and renewed calls for all settlers to Pay the Rent, we listen to part of an interview with Aunty Hazel Collins, one of the founders of Grandmother's Against Removals. GMAR is one of the organisations that Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance have suggested settlers make monthly rent payments to.  The interview was conducted in 2018 by Teaghan Hughes for the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association  We speak with writer and performer Laniyuk about the launch of the First Nations Issue of Archer magazine on Saturday at Testing Grounds.

Religion, self-defence, family protection, human health and personal reflections are among the topics of this week's Uncuckables show with Tim Wilms Editor in Chief of The Unshackled and James Fox Higgins of the Rational Rise. Tim and James started their respective media channels at the same time in late 2016. Both were involved initially in the libertarian movement but were aware of the broader underlying political problems facing the west. They each reflect on the worst cucking episode and how they have learned to always stand by their principles, the truth and to only be around people who don't want to control them. The second half of the show discusses the news of the week where there was a rally for gun rights in the US state of Virginia. The mainstream media were hoping for a violent white supremacist rally but were disappointed by a peaceful event. Donald Trump has gone up against Greta Thunberg again over climate change at the World Economic Forum in Davos in Switzerland. There is has been an outbreak of a new supervirus called Coronavirus in China. The city of Wuhan in Hubei is currently in lockdown with 25 deaths confirmed. Washed up Australian comedian Magda Szubanzi announced she was starting a new LGBT centric church. Sikh men and Muslim women no longer have to wear helmets on bicycles in the Australian Capital Territory due to their religious headwear, but other citizens will continue to be fined. Australia Day 2020 is fast approaching, the nation's left has been too busy attempting to link Australia's recent bushfires with climate change that they have forgotten to promote their Invasion Day narrative. The Warriors of Aboriginal Resistance based in Inner Melbourne have been promoting posters for their Abolish Australia Day rally. In Australian politics apart from the bushfire blame game, the sports rorts scandal involving Nationals Minister Bridget McKenzie has once again highlighted the problem with government grants programs selecting winners and losers when to choosing who to fund. After the tragic death of Wilson Gavin after he protested a drag storytime in Brisbane last week conservative traditionalists determined to not let his death be in vain protested another drag storytime in Melbourne's West. Adult drag queen Kitty Demure has slammed 'woke' parents for taking their children to drag storytime.  Tim finishes the show by providing an update on the categories and vote totals for The Unshackled's annual Unshackler Awards celebrating the best and worst contributions from 2019.

This body puts up with the racism and the complete violence of colonialism. My body gets me through a night of partying. My body gets to give my nieces and nephews cuddles. It gets to make Christmas dinners, go camping and chop wood. We really need to see what our bodies do for ourselves and for other people, the people that we love.” Tarneen Onus-Williams Tarneen is a Yigar Gunditjmara, Bindal and Yorta Yorta person.
