Yes, they really do hate freedom (Part 1)

The past week has seen one of the most disturbing betrayals of the Australian people by their rulers in the history of this country.

Parliament has passed hate crimes legislation that expands the definition of violent threats to absurd lengths, reverses the onus of proof for defendants and imposes minimum mandatory prison sentences for displaying political symbols that the government dislikes.

What is most shocking, however, is that the Australian government appears to have deliberately colluded with a foreign power in order to justify the wildly unpopular law. There is mounting evidence that the series of so-called anti-Semitic attacks which have swept Sydney and Melbourne over the past few months are being funded by unknown persons overseas who are paying local criminals to carry out the acts.

This appears to be a textbook case of foreign interference, with the obvious political motive of creating a fake anti-Semitism crisis. However, instead of naming the perpetrators, the Australian government has decided to collaborate with that foreign power by using the fake crisis as a pretext to pass the types of laws that the foreign power wants.

I will speculate on who this foreign power might be and what its aims are in a later article, but for now we will stick purely to the facts as reported by the police and mainstream press. We will only cover those incidents that involve serious crimes for which the alleged perpetrators had no obvious ideological or religious motive, as it is these which seem to share certain interesting connections.

On October 17 last year a failed arson attack was carried out against a brewery in Bondi. The two perpetrators were caught, and it was later revealed during the trial that one of them was an unemployed methamphetamine addict who conducted the attack to obtain money to pay off drug debts. It was further revealed that the arsonist had been directed to conduct the attack via messages on an encrypted messaging app sent by a man who called himself James Bond. Police allege that they had been sent to the wrong address, and that the real target was a kosher deli in the same area.

Despite apparently being the organiser of the attack, James Bond’s real name was not released by the court, and he has had no charges levelled against him. The NSW Police Commissioner stated later about the organisers of the attack: “We can’t rule out that they’re only domestic or that they might be international.” The kosher deli that was allegedly the target of the attack burned down in a suspicious fire several days later, but police claim that it was not a targeted attack.

On December 6, the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne suffered an alleged arson attack at around 4am. Despite the high level of security around Jewish religious buildings, no one has ever been charged with what the authorities immediately labelled an act of terrorism. The police have failed to even release images of the suspects, despite Victoria Police admitting that security camera footage of the incident exists, and multiple eyewitnesses claiming to have seen the crime.

On January 11 this year an arson attack was allegedly conducted against a synagogue in the Sydney suburb of Newtown, and several swastikas were painted on the walls. The attack was apparently amateurish, as the perpetrators used a bundle of twigs doused in accelerant to light a fire that quickly extinguished itself. Two men were later arrested over the incident. During a bail hearing it was revealed that the alleged perpetrators were petty criminals who lived in the same public housing development. One was described as having drug problems and a 50-page criminal record, while the other was described a mentally ill aboriginal man who was formerly homeless. The pair had seemingly made no attempt to cover up their crimes, as they went directly from their homes to the synagogue and back. Despite the attack being described by the judge as “random”, the prosecutor alleged that the pair had discussed the attack on their mobile phones and that a third party was possibly involved.

On January 21 a childcare centre was torched in the Sydney suburb of Maroubra, with anti-Semitic graffiti left at the scene. No one has been arrested, and police are yet to release security camera footage of the suspects, for unknown reasons.

Later that same day the Australian Federal Police Commissioner made a startling admission about the so-called anti-Semitic terrorism incidents that had been conducted up to that point. He stated: “We are looking into whether overseas actors or individuals have paid local criminals in Australia to carry out some of these crimes in our suburbs… We are looking at if – or how – they have been paid, for example in cryptocurrency, which can take longer to identify.”

He then noted that the AFP was discussing the issue with “Five Eyes and trusted international partners”. The next day the AFP Commissioner further clarified his comments, telling the media: “These investigative lines of inquiry are looking at whether some individuals have been paid to carry out some antisemitic acts in Australia. We believe criminals for hire may be behind some incidents.”

On January 30 the biggest incident of all occurred, when it was disclosed in the media that police had discovered a caravan full of the explosive Powergel in Dural, a rural area on the periphery of Sydney. According to eyewitness accounts, the caravan had been left on public land by the side of a road for an unknown amount of time prior to December 7. A local resident then towed it onto their property, but didn’t investigate further until January 19, when the explosives were discovered. No detonator was found at the scene, but a list of alleged Jewish targets was.

The immediate response of the counter-terrorism authorities was to raid a house nearby that had no connection to the caravan, and then beat the disabled man who lived there.

On the day that the van story reached the media, police revealed that the two owners of the caravan were already in police custody over “unrelated matters”, but had not received any charges for apparently hoarding illegal explosives in a van. The NSW Police also declined to call the incident an act of terrorism, though several politicians did so without presenting any additional evidence.

The police claim that the two suspects had nothing to do with the case does not seem to accord with the facts. One of the suspects, Tammie Farrugia, was in custody for an incident on December 11 in which she allegedly scrawled misspelled graffiti in a heavily Jewish suburb of Sydney, and then lit a stolen car on fire nearby. After a subsequent police raid on her home, her boyfriend Scott Marshall was “charged with two counts of goods suspected stolen in/on premises, two counts of possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit” when “officers seized mobile phones, clothing, knuckledusters, an electronic stun device, unauthorised number plates and prohibited drugs”.

Farrugia and Marshall have both been charged with being part of a criminal group, which allegedly involved a third man who has not been named in the media. A third man whose name has not been released was also apparently listed in the counter-terrorism warrant that police used to investigate the caravan, though it is unknown if this is the same man who is alleged to be involved in the criminal conspiracy that conducted the December attack.

In an interview that Marshall’s brother recently gave to the media, he claimed that Marshall is being held in solitary confinement and is “not allowed to talk to anyone or associate with anyone”. Both Marshall and Farrugia are set to stand trial in early April, which will doubtlessly result in more evidence coming to light.

Alleged anti-Semitic terrorist incidents, late 2024 and early 2025

What conclusions can we draw from these facts?

1. All of the known alleged attackers appear to be petty criminals.
2. None of the alleged attackers appear to have any obvious political or religious motivation for the attacks, or to be familiar with Jews. Marshall and Farrugia did not even know how to spell the word Israel correctly, while the October attackers apparently mistook a brewery for the kosher deli that their handler intended to attack. The childcare centre attacked on 21 January was located close to a synagogue, but had turned out to have little connection to Jews.
3. In every case where the alleged perpetrators are known, they allegedly acted as part of a group and have accomplices or leaders that have not yet been apprehended.
4. In at least one case the alleged perpetrators conducted the attack solely for money, which was provided by another party who is yet to be named or charged.
5. Senior officers at two separate police forces have stated that the alleged crimes are likely being directed and funded from overseas.
6. In each case the alleged attackers seem to go out of their way to be publicly seen, even at great risk to themselves. The most obvious example is with the explosive-laden van that was left for months in a public place with no attempt to retrieve it or hide the evidence when the van was towed to a private property. In the January 11 incident the alleged attackers made no attempt to throw police off their path, while in the December 11 attack Marshall and Farrugia allegedly torched a stolen car in front of their poorly spelled graffiti to attract attention rather than using it to escape.
7. In no case have Jewish lives been threatened, with the incidents either targeted at property or staged to attract attention.

The facts force us to concluded that the alleged attacks are not evidence of an Australian pogrom, but are clearly the work of a foreign actor deliberately seeking to create a fake anti-Semitism crisis in Australia.

It is foreign interference designed to bring about certain political goals against the will of the Australian people, on a scale that has never been seen before in this nation’s history.

In my next article I will discuss the strange nature of the government’s response to the incidents, and how it has only encouraged further attacks.
