Father of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, John Shipton, and whistle-blower David McBride join Discernable for an exclusive deep dive into government secrets.
Do we still believe that Western governments are more noble than Chinese, Russian and other world governments? Who exactly are 'the good guys' and 'the bad guys' on the world stage? Are government secrets and warmongering the price to pay for our free democracies?
David McBride served in both the British and Australian armed forces and is currently facing jail for leaking classified information to the ABC and alleging war crimes by Australian soldiers in the Middle East.
John Shipton continues to fight for his son's freedom, and notes massive cross-party support in parliaments around the world calling for his freedom.
In this joint interview we discussed:
How governments are incentivised to start and prolong wars
How governments use fear and anxiety to sell their policies
The war crimes in the leaked 'collateral damage' video and other leaked cables
War crimes committed by Australia and the USA targeting civilian water supplies and using depleted uranium rounds
Allied air strikes designed to cover evidence of war crimes
When media won't report against government
Why are the crimes Julian Assange revealed not being prosecuted?
The duty to report a crime
Why will Australia not defend an Australian citizen?
All political parties are adopting a 'free Assange platform'
The cult of 'Five Eyes' controlled by the USA
David McBride reveals war crime cover-ups
Do Aussies care about principles or not?
Refreshing and renewing parliaments with cross-party groups
The future for Millennials and GenZ fighting for truth
FriendlyJordies behind the scenes

We call it 'de-risking' but really what we are doing is converting 'uncertainty' to 'risk' because risk can be managed in a familiar way.
BUT modern thinkers are learning to manage uncertainty directly. That is the skillset of tomorrow.

'I don't think Dan Andrews thinks lockdown is the best thing based on what the experts he can access. I think he thinks it's the best thing for him to get re-elected, for his party to entrench power, and it turns when the politics turn.'
Dr Cameron Murray notes that 'tough guy politics' is working all over the world and that Chief Health/Medical Officers are 'pseudo politicians'.

Something in politics is broken. We all know it. Politicians have become masters of getting elected whilst getting nothing done in the real world. Is there a way to get them to focus on solving actual problems rather than chasing polls and keeping their jobs?
Iain Walker is the Executive Director of the New Democracy Foundation, an independent research organisation that designs and implements ‘citizen juries’ to various levels of government around the world.
In this interview we explored how citizen assemblies are making an impact globally, gradually becoming a viable and accepted method of decision making.
Tune in to this interview to hear about how politicians are being incentivised to ‘stop playing politics’ by this new form of public governance.

'If you can stay home, you must stay home.'
'Staying apart keeps us together.'
This is the deliberate, strategic, psychological messaging crafted by the Behavioural Insights Unit. Active at both a state and federal level in Australia, and in other countries like the United Kingdom, they are also known as 'Nudge Units'.
Nudge is a concept by Nobel Laureate economist Richard Thaler that is widely deployed in the corporate marketing world, and embraces 'soft paternalism' which exploits human failures in logic and decision making.
People can be 'nudged', apparently, by arranging choice architecture and herding the masses onto a desired path. The debate becomes whether these 'choice architects' in fact controlled or manipulated those people's decisions, or whether those people remained free all along despite strategic 'nudges'.
Nudge principals were adopted into government policy making and communication 5-10 years ago. Read about their history at https://roamy.medium.com/the-rise-of-the-nudge-unit-6e40d4a7181
The author, Thaler, now says that 'we are past the point of nudging when it comes to the vaccine' and is promoting mandates because 'you don't have the right to make me sick' and:
'Being unvaccinated in 2021 is similar to smoking in public, though it is more immediately hazardous. The unvaccinated are endangering themselves and those with whom they come into contact. It would be good public policy if those who refuse to be vaccinated are compelled to spend more time alone.'
The Professor's evolution in thinking perfectly mirrors that of governments globally.
1. Ask and appeal to people to make a choice. If they don't comply:
2. Nudge and manipulate people toward the desired choice. If they don't comply:
3. Coerce people to make that choice. If they don't comply:
4. Mandate and force people into that decision (is it even a 'decision' anymore?).
