The Conditional Release Program

WARNING - THIS EPISODE REFERS TO THE RECENTLY DECEASED. This week Joel speaks to historian and Aboriginal art curator Emily McCulloch Childs about the ridiculous disinformation being pushed upon the NT. We look at the history of pandemics going back to colonisation/invasion and the way in which disinformation has been a constant in the post colonial life of Aboriginal Australians. I learned a few...

Huge week on the fringe and a huge week for covid-19 with a new variant - Omicron - joining the ranks. I've never met a variant that I liked, and this one sounds like a bit of a dickhead to be honest. We are reserving judgement, though, as it's yet to be seen how rude this little guy is. The q-anon throng in Dallas are losing their minds, unironically wearing Q merch to a thing that Q hims...

Huge week on the fringe with another wave of protests across the country which saw large crowds get together and protest stuff. The most popular thing to protest was the existence of Dan Andrews with approx 50,000 people turning up in melbourne. Not content with that, the cookers counted 150,000. Then 250,000. Then 500,000. They truly live in a parallel universe. Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted to...

Sorry for the late upload! This one comes edited by a sick Joel who has spent most of the past two days on the couch. It's not covid, for better or worse with a negative test returned. But it still sucks. But the world keeps turning - and a little too fast at the moment! This week we look at the ever more obvious overlap between the Victorian Liberals and the FREEDOM movement. Seems like they...

Another huge week on the fringe of Australian politics. We have the liberal party fixing an issue that doesn't exist by attempting to pass a bill which would implement ID requirements for voting. Standard stuff from the US playbook to suppress voter turnout and win the next election. What a nasty group of people in the federal liberal party. We then jump across the pond to look at what the fus...

A huge bloody week on the fringe of society with the revelation that several actual US congresspeoples were involved in the planning of the January 6th insurrection. And those that have been jailed wound up in their own little part of the Washington DC Correctional Facility they call the bloody 'patriots wing'. Sounds like the worst place to do time ever. Yet another q-anon influencer turn...

Huge week on the fringe. So much happening we had to cull like 80% of what we wanted to cover. The things that made the cut are - Ron Watkins running for the US Congress in Maricopa County. Gross. Avi Yemini hassles people at a restaurant becuase he is a serial pest. Not a journalist. A right wing agitator at the top of his game. Also, all your favourites like the sponsor, blackpilled FW and AV Up...

Sorry guys. Looks like Australia has fallen. Or #australiahasfallen at least. The most annoying hashtag since the last one - with Americans making up total nonsense to dramatise the pandemic handling in Australia with dramatic claims of jailing people for leaving their houses and being carted off for thought crimes. It's ridiculous. But equally as ridiculous as the clowns in the USA making up...

Big week on the fringe with the first arrest of what will likely be many for the issuing of fake vaccine exemptions which is gonna see a few pilled doctors in big trouble. The first wasn't even a doctor! It's not looking good, but we saw it coming a mile away. Lucky Lance and Zarah Garde Wilson force Avi Yemini to apologise through a court process that sees him weasel out of it and try to...

Happy birthday to us! We turned 1 on Sunday and it's been a great year. We've been very lucky to have a wonderful listener base and no end of content to cover. We love you all for being part of our infancy and hope we grow old and weird together. It's been a great run. This week in the news we have the ACT putting unvaccinated pollies in quarantine which means we have Craig Kelly bounc...

Huge week with Gladys resigning the top job in NSW thanks to a larger figured man named Daryl. Was it worth it? Probably not. We also look at the sketchy antivax unions popping up backed by Liberal party heavyweights that just stink of astroturf. There's a new covid treatment and antivaxxers think it mutates you because they're idiots. There's yet another protest. Jack looks at the his...

This week's deeper dive looks at the future of the movement. Where to from here? With vaccination rates increasing, we are about to have our freedom day. How's it going to go? The benefit of a slow rollout by a lazy federal government has meant that we are a little behind the world in opening our doors back up. This puts us in a position to learn from others mistakes and essentially Bradbu...

Another huge week in fringe politics which was so big it was actually quite exhausting. After antilockdown idiots convinced tradies to take up arms against the CFMEU, the stink of the movement could not be ignored. We covered that in the last deeper dive. But, true to their bleating chant 'everyday everyday' they kinda pulled it off - taking a piss on the shrine of rememberance and being p...

Well we were going to do an episode on the future of the antilockdown movement past lockdowns and mass vaccination. And it's not looking great. But they new hill they plan to literally die on - fighting mandatory vaccinations - had a bit of a shot in the arse yesterday with a gathering outside the CFMEU headquarters in Melbourne. Scenes of absolute chaos consumed the city with VicPol completel...

HUGE THANKS to Sonny Brown of The Sonny Brown Breakdown podcast for remastering my audio track. My microphone played up during the record, which I was blissfully unaware of and it sounded far worse before Sonny rejigged it. If you like your martial arts to be mixed, check out his work here. https://sonnybrownbreakdown.com/ ------------------- Another month another violent protest from our militant...

Antivaxxers have always predicted we would have a vaccine passport - even going as far as to say that COVID stands for Certificate Of Vaccination IDentification. That's really dumb but also quite clever. Well done them! They were right. Kinda. We are getting vaccine passports in Australia soon, kicking off with NSW. Well, we are. Apparently. Maybe. Dunno really. And there lies the problem. Wha...

Yet another bizarre week in the world of fringe politics with Teresa Van Lieshout being arrested for her weird AFP badge thing, Craig Kelly looking at criminal charges for faking a TGA report on UAP spam texts and a roadmap for post lockdown life being mapped out for NSW. Freeeddooommmm! In the antivaxxer update we check in on the lawsuits before the Supreme Court and talk about the Member for Man...

Returning guest Hamilton Hume further outlines the case for the q-anon phenomenon being amplified and co-ordinated by a series of influential disinformation experts and not just Ron Watkins and a few 8chan dorks. This deeper dive looks at his latest article, 'Modern Psychological Warfare' which can be found here: https://daniel-ed-morrison.medium.com/modern-psychological-warfare-1d40c17eef...

Yet another huge week in the news with the unholy union of Clive and Craig spamming out text messages yet again with a cooked up report claiming to be from the TGA. Did they break the law? Probably not. The Q Shaman is now just the Shaman, Jack has a spray about how nazis are NOT communists in the middle of BPFW and we look at the arrest of 'political prisoner' Monica Smit who is hamming t...

This week we have Lucky Lance leading us in to the deeper dive with discussing crowdfunding for lawsuits with no legal merit. Hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown into a black hole with very little accountability and very few cases. But a lot of money. Sitting around doing very little. Jack and I probe further into it, looking at various law firms doing this as a new revenue stream which has re...

What a week. Holy smokes. We left so many huge news stories out - but they just kept developing! At the last minute we hear about a testing facility being set alight in south west Sydney under suspicious circumstances and then on Sunday night, after laughing about how pathetic Karen Brewer's efforts are to put together a trucker strike on the 31st are, some mad bogans from Queensland line one...

In a tale of two cities we saw protests in Sydney and Melbourne with gangs of angry protestors lashing out at the state that has keep them from going to the pub. While there was also an anti lockdown protest in Queensland we are ignoring that because it was boring, peaceful and pointless. Joel backed the wrong horse and watched the boring protest in Sydney, made boring by a comprehensive police re...

It's been a seriously huge week so it's a long episode - the news is huge and antivaxxers have been very busy. In the deeper dive we look at the next twelve months and what that means electorally in Australia. Jack puts his pundit hat on and dives into what's coming up for the political landscape after the weirdest year in recent memory. It's a big episode but there's a lot to...
