Australian journalist @SharriMarkson targeted by Iranian cyber operatives. 👇
When I received a message from a former Trump administration official in August, asking me to meet with his team at a prestigious think-tank, I never could have imagined I was conversing with an Iranian intelligence agent.
It was the start of a two-month sting - described by ASIO chief Mike Burgess as "sophisticated and targeted" - that ended with the notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps gaining access to my personal emails and details in a major security breach.
The message from a former senior Trump administration contact I forged through my Wuhan reporting, who has a prominent profile with hundreds of thousands of followers, came on August 18 this year.
I had worked with him on my investigation into the origins of Covid-19. I trusted him and had met him in person during one of his visits to Australia.
Unbeknownst to either of us, his genuine X account had been infiltrated by an Iranian operative, using the ‘delegate feature’ on X, which gives a third party access to manage and operate your account.

Replying to @ProfJoannaHowe
I don’t think it’s left versus right that’s the issue, it’s more that you’re a nutter.

Leftist trolls have lied about me ever since I made my first post to social media in July 2022 challenging abortion up to birth laws in Australia. If you follow these trolls or watch their content and they say "Joanna Howe was forced to unpublish her paper by Adelaide Uni", you should unfollow them as they are lying outright.
And now I'm fighting back against Adelaide Uni for taking the side of unhinged radical left activists instead of allowing me to undertake research and advocacy on controversial issues that are out of step with left-wing ideology.
Not a single allegation against me relates to research or teaching misconduct. I have always been one of the top teachers and researchers in the Law School, winning awards and prizes across both core areas of being an academic. I was even promoted to Professor and received two ARC grants before the age of 40, both of which are atypical in the Law discipline.
The only reason I'm now facing these relentless investigations, allegations and legal letters is because I refuse to comply with the left's religious position on abortion, Islam, gender, climate and prostitution. These are all sacred cows I've taken on in my time at the Law School since 2022.
Prior to 2022 I was feted and loved and promoted because my research and advocacy were on migrant worker exploitation, which was a position that the left agreed with.
I don't think universities should persecute staff and students who disagree with the left. I think the idea of a university should be predicated on the pursuit of truth and knowledge. Academic freedom and free speech on campus and in scholarship are critical to the achievement of this goal.

I’m trying to recall a country that has ever admitted to conducting a genocide …
The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they've murdered.
It's not because they're Jewish. Hope that helps.

A message to those who still believe that it all started on October 7. No, it didn't. A 'managed genocide', to keep 1.5 million Palestinians "on the edge of life" was in force years before. Read the latest report by Eyal Weizman:
"A military document called ‘Red Lines’ set the minimum number of calories required to sustain Gaza’s population at a level just above the UN definition of hunger (2100 calories a day for men, 1700 for women and a varying amount for children depending on gender and age). The total number of calories was translated into the tonnage required to feed Gaza’s then population of 1.5 million and thus the number of aid trucks allowed into the territory. The same went for megawatts of electricity and litres of fuel and water. What was seen as good behaviour was rewarded by an increase in the amounts coming in, any acts of resistance by the tightening of the siege, like a population-scale version of a Milgram experiment."

Justice delayed can mean months or even years in detention.
>1/3 of the global prison population is in pre-trial detention, with the highest shares in Africa & Asia.
