Australia what have you become? We might expect LNP and other right-wing parties to align themselves with powerful Israeli/Zionist interests — but when Labor leaders like @AlboMP and @PMalinauskasMP do the same, it becomes deeply troubling. It undermines our national sovereignty, weakens independent decision-making, and erodes public trust in who our leaders truly serve.
A list of some writers and major figures who have publicly decided not to participate in the 2026 Adelaide Writers Festival / Writers’ Week following the controversy over the disinvitation of Palestinian-Australian author Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah.

Authors and Public Figures Who Withdrew Jacinda Ardern – former Prime Minister of New Zealand pulled out in protest. Zadie Smith – internationally acclaimed British novelist. Percival Everett – Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Helen Garner – highly respected Australian writer. Michelle de Kretser – celebrated Australian novelist.

Born in Melbourne to Jewish parents who emigrated from Paris after World War II, she built a distinguished career in publishing and the arts. Adler served as CEO of Melbourne University Publishing for many years and later became Publisher-at-Large at Hachette Australia. She has also been editor of the Australian Book Review, arts editor for The Age, a presenter on ABC Radio National, and President of the Australian Publishers Association. In 2022 she was appointed Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week, one of Australia’s leading literary festival programs, a role she held from 2023 until her resignation in January 2026 in protest against a decision by the Adelaide Festival board that she saw as undermining free speech. Adler is known for her deep commitment to literature, public discourse, and the principle of open dialogue, and is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, a heritage that has informed her engagement with cultural and political issues. A Pattern of Intervention: Since World War II, the United States has repeatedly employed military force, covert operations, and political pressure to shape or control other nations' affairs. Historical Precedent: The 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran established a template for Cold War era regime change that continues to fuel global distrust and resentment. Ongoing Military Support: Since October 7, 2023, the U.S. has provided at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel, directly enabling continued warfare in Gaza, the West Bank, and throughout the region. International Condemnation: Recent U.S. actions, including the 2026 operation in Venezuela and sustained involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts, have drawn widespread criticism for violating national sovereignty and international law. Domestic Contradictions: Aggressive enforcement policies at home, such as ICE operations, combined with military interventions abroad, severely undermine USA's moral authority on human rights and democratic governance. Eroding Global Standing: Increasingly, the international community views the U.S. not as a defender of freedom, but as an aggressive, self-interested power pursuing dominance over partnership. Perhaps now even the world's pariah. A Critical Distinction: Many US citizens oppose these policies, yet limited international awareness of domestic dissent can obscure the gap between government actions and public sentiment. The Path Forward: Genuine leadership demands humility, respect for sovereignty, robust diplomacy, and commitment to peace; not the pursuit of dominance through force. - Cedar  ED: *** I have just discovered that these videos are made by AI and not by Bracha.

 The people of Iran are courageously reclaiming their future. Long-hidden truths are coming into the light, and the dark shadow of authoritarian power is being exposed. When people rise together, even the most brutal rule cannot endure. May the bravery of Iranians inspire others who yearn for freedom and dignity. There are around 100–150 active fire incidents in Victoria. A statewide Total Fire Ban remains in force today, Saturday, 10 January, with high fire danger ratings across all districts. More than 700 firefighters, along with interstate support, are battling these fires. The situation escalated rapidly on 9 January, with over 60 new ignitions reported amid extreme heat of 40–46°C in some areas and strong winds. A cool change late on the 9th helped moderate some threats, but multiple fires remain active, and the risk continues today under the fire ban. For your safety: VicEmergency (emergency.vic.gov.au) or the app for live maps, warnings, and updates, as conditions can change quickly. Call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667 if needed. Follow official advice: Evacuate early if warned, or shelter in place if it is too late to leave. Please take care of yourselves, your loved ones, and animals, and check on vulnerable people and those in danger wherever possible. https://emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/ 
We can choose where to direct our life energy. We may dwell on those who have hurt us – often people who, because they have not learned to love themselves, end up wounding others – or we can focus on those engaged in genuine healing and growth. True love is the courageous work of facing our own pain, forgiving ourselves, and living in a way that helps others remember their own wholeness. Teachers such as Panache Desai and Alex Ferrari highlight an important truth: we do not heal others by trying to fix them. We heal by embracing ourselves completely – wounds and all – and that wholeness naturally invites others to discover their own. Panache teaches that when we accept our full humanity – 'It happened!' - not just the easy parts – we find our way to calm, depth, and inner harmony. From there, love becomes practical and restorative, not a bargaining chip or an emotional reaction. This does not mean we ignore suffering. It means we place our love wisely, where it can truly take root and grow – in ourselves, and in those ready to receive it. We stop pouring ourselves into people who are not yet able to care for themselves, not out of coldness, but out of respect for everyone's sacred journey, including our own. This is how light spreads: one person at a time, choosing wholeness over wounding. Recommended listening
Panache Desai's Essential Points on Energy and Soul Evolution: See PanacheDesai.com
1. You Are Already Whole – You do not need fixing. You are perfect as you are. The task is to reconnect with your Essential Self, not to repair something broken. 2. Vibration Creates Reality – The way you vibrate is what the universe reflects back to you. Change your energy, and your life changes naturally. 3. Transformation is Energetic, Not Mental – Evolution occurs by raising your vibrational frequency through acceptance, not by willpower or trying to think your way to change. You are transforming dense, unresolved emotions from dissonance to harmony. 4. Love is the Highest Frequency – As vibrational beings, love is our highest available resonance. We naturally uplift each other, like tuning forks causing nearby forks to vibrate at the same tone. 5. You Are an Infinite Continuum – Your soul does not move through linear time as a single entity. You are an expanding consciousness with access to infinite light and energy. Past-life work in ascension often explains current gifts. 6. Immersion, Not Force – Soul evolution comes from immersing yourself in Divine energy and living from that expanded state, spending time with elevated people and practices that naturally raise your resonance. Core Truth: Raise your vibration through acceptance and alignment, and your outer world will shift to match your inner transformation.
