Constitutional expert Anne Twomey false information on the 'King of Australia'?

Anne Twomey is considered an expert on the colony’s Constitution, where her work is seen on her YouTube channel Constitutional Clarion.

So what happens to this professor if someone calls out her ‘inaccurate’/false/(deliberately?) misleading information?

First and foremost there is no such lawfully enacted entity as the ‘Queen of Australia’, period.

It may appear in legal documentation, but this is not proof that it is there ‘lawfully’.



The below Freedom of Information response shows a legal advice to the Prime Minister and Cabinets Office to update the Royal Style and Titles Act so as to create a new title for King Charles III to adopt in relation to Australia and its Territories. In a recent video of the Constitutional Clarion Professor Ann Twomey lays claim a title Act or amendment is not required for King Charles suggesting the King can effectively use the Queens title. The below advice clearly contradicts the video of Professor Twomey.

The Great IMEI Firewall of Australia

 China, North Korea and Egypt eat your hearts out.


China, as in the Chinese people are not on the internet, but rather it's one of the worlds largest intranets, 'protecting' its people from the big bad WWW.

North Korea, another tech Mecca for the select few, keeps their luddites away from the outside world, but the outside world got sneak peek after North Korea's pathetic firewall structure got 'extinguished', see video:



And let's not forget how the Egyptian government shut down those pesky plebs from exercising their (human) right to 'free speech' by flicking the switch on the internet, in 2011, see article:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/jan/28/egypt-cuts-off-internet-access

At law the place called ‘Down Under’ in 2024, some 236 years after the inception of a convict colony, is still a colony and therefore governed as one by the colonialists.

See article: 

Australia the self governing colony

People may believe that this place functions as a democracy, but the reality is as far as possible from that.

This colony is literally a corporate criminal’s paradise, especially if one is supported by the ‘brotherhood’.

It’s a fascist state that functions under protectionism, where the current topic is the telecommunications industry, where the serfs are the ones that are victims of government fraud.

This 12.5 minute video by Hugh Jeffreys explains this very well:



Will there be any fruitful inquiry into this? MOST DEFINITELY NOT!

a lucky country run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck”

Trump's bid for Sydney casino rejected due to 'mafia connections'

Still the same Trump? Does a leopard change its spots?

Cabinet documents reveal police warned NSW government about approving a 1986-87 plan to build city’s first casino in Darling Harbour


A bid by Donald Trump to build Sydney’s first casino was rejected 37 years ago after police expressed concerns about his links to the mafia.

News Corp revealed on Wednesday morning minutes of the New South Wales cabinet that show police had warned the state government against approving a 1986-87 bid by a Trump consortium to build and operate a casino in Darling Harbour.

Trump, in partnership with the Queensland construction company Kern, was one of four groups vying for the lucrative project. The NSW government dumped it from the process on 5 May 1987, along with two other bidders.

At the time, the state treasurer, Ken Booth, said he had received reports on the bids from the police board, the state’s Treasury, the Darling Harbour Authority, and an independent financial consultant.

“I wish to inform honourable members that in light of these reports the government has decided to eliminate three tenderers from further consideration,” Booth told the state parliament. “These are the HKMS consortium, the Federal-Sabemo consortium and the Kern-Trump consortium.”

The public was not told the substance of the NSW government’s concerns. Booth said the reports “contain confidential and commercially sensitive material” and refused to make them public.

Now, under rules that declassify NSW cabinet papers after 30 years, summaries of the various reports on the Kern/Trump bid have come to light.

The documents, obtained by News Corp, show the Kern/Trump group was one of three deemed “dangerous” by the police board. “Briefly stated, the Police Board considers that HKMS, Federal/Resorts/Sabemo, Kern/Trump, are unacceptable,” the summary of the police report said.

“Atlantic City would be a dubious model for Sydney and in our judgment, the Trump mafia connections should exclude the Kern/Trump consortium,” a summary of the police board’s report said.

The cabinet papers also show there were doubts about the viability of the Kern/Trump bid. A report prepared by the independent contractor, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, found the Kern/Trump bid was one of two that were “not financially viable”.

The report found that revenues for the casino were overstated. “The proposal is financially viable on the basis that the projected financial structure is reasonably based,” a summary said.

“However, projected casino revenue estimates are not soundly based and the quantum of the potential overstatement is so material that the tender is not financially viable. Also, the tender is not financially viable on the basis of expected returns to equity investors.”

The Darling Harbour Authority, which assessed the design of Trump’s proposed casino, was largely supportive. It described Kern/Trump casino design as “rich, attractive and well-integrated” and said it would have “strong public appeal”.

The casino control division also gave Kern/Trump “unqualified certification” for the running of a casino in NSW.

One of the chief critics of the proposed casino at the time was the Rev Fred Nile, who is still a sitting member of the NSW upper house.

When the government announced its rejection of the Kern/Trump bid, Nile described the process as a “disaster” and pushed for the NSW government to scrap the casino entirely.

Nile told Guardian Australia he had raised concerns about possible organised crime links with the planned casino. “We certainly wouldn’t have wanted any connection with organised crime,” he said.

“We talked about that and there was always problems – casinos attract prostitution and other things.”

He was also strongly opposed to it having poker machines. “Which upset [Kerry] Packer, because you make a lot of money from the poker machines,” he said. “We were able to get the government to pass the law that there would be no poker machines in the Crown casino.”

Here's what REALLY happened with the Covid 'vaccine'

See short introduction to the topic from Readacted with Natali and Clayton Morris


Please note that the drug cannot be called a 'vaccine' as it does not confer immunity.

3G shutdown today, your 4G device too - Dirt Report (Corrupt gov. and telcos)

Briefly,

The government and telecommunications corporations have conned mobile phone users, period.

The real question is will there be an inquiry and will there be 'consequences' or rather hefty financial penalties.

AS the government is subservient to corporations, banks and financial services institutions, the likelihood of penalties that matter is very unlikely.

Aussie, Tech Man Pat puts it together well in this short video:

Covid-19 'vaccine' withdrawn




This is one of the largest global scams in living history.

A intergenerational theft of funds by governments and corporations.




They call it a 'vaccine' which technically it's not, as it does not confer immunity.

They said it was 'safe and effective', BUT they LIED!

Well at least from the above article one cannot say that the mainstream media didn't tell you.

Irrespective of which corporation the test drug came from, it still is not 'safe'.

CONSUMER HEALTH WARNING: Cancer warning (deliberately?) omitted by JB Hi-Fi?



You know the story?

Profits before health, we’ll deal with the litigation IF it ever arises, (lol - at the litigants) where we’ll even gaslight them if we must.

We’ll even scam the consumer on an extended warranty, while we're at it!

SO, here’s the deal.

A watch sold by JB Hi-Fi, namely the NOTHING brand’s CMF Watch Pro 2 carries a couple of serious health warnings.

On the back of the original box, the warning states:

“CANCER AND REPRODUCTIVE HARM-”

Source: TechSpurt

The watch also does not have WiFi or celluar connectivity, only Bluetooth and GPS.

Well, you can’t argue that you weren’t told, right?

After it’s too late and you bought the product, or you missed that warning?

BUT on cigarette packaging the cancer warning is conspicuous, right?



Why?

Because of liability, so you can't sue the corporations of billions of dollars in profits producing addictive poison, laced with chemicals that give you cancer?

Well, no health warning from JB Hi-Fi on the product they’re selling, but they’ll try so scam you extra for warranty that you already are privy to under Australian consumer law.




That’s life in the colony called Australia.

Hackers Get Keys to Any Kia With Just A License Plate

A flaw in Kia's dealer system allowed attackers to take control of any Kia using just a license plate number. 



  • A flaw in Kia's dealer system allowed for attackers to remotely unlock and start any Kia using just the car's license plate
  • The vulnerability was patched by Kia in about two months
  • It's yet another wake-up call for automotive security in the connected car sector

Kia isn't having a great couple of years in vehicle security. From the Kia Boys making the world realize there were 5 million vehicles without immobilizers on the market to new pocket-size GameBoy-style devices, it's never been easier to be a thief targeting Korean cars.

But wait, there's more.

A new proof of concept released this week—simply called Kiatool—is probably the most powerful attack against any Kia we've seen yet. And, frankly, this one is probably the scariest, too. Thankfully, it's already been patched, but I want you to hear about it anyway because it tells an extremely important story about the future of automotive cybersecurity.

Meet Sam Curry. He's one of my favorite security researchers who focuses on the automotive sector. And he has a special knack for breaking into cars. Not by brute-forcing a window with a hammer, of course, but by using some carefully crafted keystrokes to achieve the same effect. Today's victim was "pretty much any Kia vehicle made after 2013."

His latest attack takes advantage of Kia Connect. For those unfamiliar, that's the connected service that pairs a vehicle with the internet so an owner can conveniently unlock their car or turn on the heat when it's cold outside. With a bit of studying, Curry was able to figure out how to hack into virtually every single connected Kia sold in the United States over the last decade—and only took about 30 seconds.

Have a look at a demo of the tool in the video below:


You've Gotta Be Kia'dding me

Let's dig into what's going on here. What is being exploited, and how was it found?Ultimately, the attack boiled down to a flaw in Kia's Application Programming Interface. An API is essentially an intermediary which allows two applications to talk to one another without exposing certain functions of one app to another. It's how your car can display your Spotify playlists or pull in traffic data to overlay on its maps.

Curry, as curious as ever, wanted to know how Kia's app talked to its cars. In short, it assigns an authenticated user a session token (think of it like a virtual permission slip that's only valid for a short amount of time) that permits them to send commands to Kia's servers, which then pushes the action down to the car in real life. How could Curry get one of these permission slips and keep it long enough to perform an attack on the vehicle?


That's when Curry figured out he could take advantage of the method that dealers use to assign new cars to owners using Kia's KDealer platform. Curry used a flaw found in the KDealer API which allowed him to impersonate a dealership looking to register a customer's car.

Next, Curry was able to use a third-party API to pull the victim's car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) using a license plate, similar to getting a quote for your used car and entering your plate number instead of the VIN. The VIN could be coupled to the forged dealer request and voilà. Instant remote access to virtually any of Kia's nearly 20 models produced over the last decade.

You're Exposed


There's a couple of issues here. First is the glaring threat to the vehicle itself. I mean, let's cut right to the chase—you can unlock and start the car with just the license plate. That... really bad. Like a relay attack on steroids. And it could all done without the owner ever noticing a thing (except for an eventual missing car or belongings).

Even scarier is the privacy issue at play. The exploit allows the attacker to fetch information about the owner's name, phone number, email address, the location of the vehicle, and, in some cars, even allows the vehicle's cameras to be accessed remotely.

In theory, this would allow for an attack chain that lets a driver pull up to a car at the grocery store to get the plate, silently add a burner email account to the owner's Kia account, find its location later on, then check the cameras to make sure nobody is around when they want to snatch it. Or, worse, use it to target the owner. Scary stuff.

The Hole Is Plugged

The good news is that Kia has already fixed the problem and that the automaker had confirmed that it hasn't been used maliciously in the wild. Phew.

Like any good security researcher, Curry ethically disclosed this flaw to the automaker when he discovered it back in June. Kia's developers patched the flaw about two months later in mid-August, and Curry gave it another month before he disclosed the findings publicly yesterday.

"There are tactical and more strategic steps that automotive companies need to take," Tim Erlin, Security Strategist at security firm Wallarm, told InsideEVs in an email. "They absolutely need to fix the vulnerabilities that have been discovered, and they need to put in place testing to ensure that these kinds of vulnerabilities are found before they can be exploited. Rigorous testing and a good bug bounty program can help.

"Longer term, manufacturers should include threat modeling into their development process to reduce the possibility of these types of issues in the future," he added. "Having their development teams 'think like an attacker' as part of the process will help identify risky architectures earlier in the manufacturing process."

The real lesson here isn't that about Kia's flaw, as impressive as it was, but is about connected cars in general. It's a reminder that when something is addressable on the internet, a flaw can translate into real-world consequences quite easily.

We, as a society, have become a bit numb to cybersecurity-related events. You hear about ransomware frequently, about leaked social security numbers. It's becoming mundane. But give an attacker a virtual coat hanger to pop your car's door lock using their cell phone and things become a bit more... tangible. And that's scary.

How the government SCREWED Aussies - " The country is f**ked"

'Australia is a lucky country, run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck.'

The first part of the quote from the book by Donald Horne from the mid 1960's, is what that mainstream media tells the serfs, but they DELIBRATELY neglect to follow up with the full sentence, which factually condemns the people in control.

Some 60 years later Matt Barrie, states a more realistic and accurate description.

Australia ‘should be the richest country in the world’ but instead is ‘f**ked’.

The colony's (deliberately) incompetent 'leaders' are plunging the population into a totalitarian state 'upgrading' it from an (oligarchical) authoritarian one, but that's another topic for another day.

Freelancer chief executive Matt Barrie who appeared on the Equity Mates podcast last week for a wide-ranging discussion covering the housing market, mass immigration, energy policy and cost-of-living, has given an accurate and brutally honest description of the state of Australia, period.

Australia's housing market is a huge Ponzi scheme instigated and supported by the 'Australian Government' (LLC, ™, ®, ©, etc etc) designed to deliberately screw the Australian population.

The 'problem' there is the people are quite satisfied with this, as their silence is acquiescence!

Does the welfare state help the poor?


Does the welfare state help the poor? This surprisingly simple question often generates more heat than light. By the welfare state, I mean transfer programs aimed at helping the poor through the direct redistribution of income. (This excludes general economic policy, antitrust, the volunteer military, and many other policies that affect the well-being of the poor.)

Defenders of the welfare state often assume that the poor benefit from it, while critics suggest that the losses outweigh the gains. The most notable of such criticisms is Charles Murray’s Losing Ground, which suggests that the welfare state has failed to achieve its stated ends.
