What sane Australian would want to join the military?
War hero Ben Roberts Smith VC was today dragged off an aircraft by Australian Federal Police at Sydney Airport and arrested on five counts of alleged war crimes.
Police State Australia was in full flight with quad cars and flashing lights, surrounding the aircraft on the tarmac allowing AFP officers onboard to apprehend Roberts Smith in front of his 15 year old twin daughters, partner and a plane full of startled passengers.
Roberts Smith mother, Sue said from Perth the first she knew about the arrest was when she got a phone call from Ben’s partner Sarah who told her she was in a police car heading for a destination unknown.
The AFP had tipped off the media which were in attendance, in particular shifty Channel Nine reporter Nick McKenzie who has been the media mouthpiece for the decade-long witch hunt against Roberts Smith and the SASR.
McKenzie’s reporting and testimony has been less than truthful and he was caught out reviewing emails about Roberts Smith’s legal strategy as he reveals in this article:
“No more than a week ago Ben told the AFP if they wanted to speak to him just give him a ring and he would come to see them,” Sue Roberts Smith told Cairns News.
“Then today the police were grandstanding at Sydney airport with his arrest.
“The police are going to hold him for seven days while he makes a bail application but if it fails they can hold him for two years without a court appearance.”
A statement from Dr Dan Mealey, former SAS member who served in Afghanistan:
To my fellow Australians,
There are moments in the life of a nation when the real test of character is not found on some distant battlefield, but here at home, in the comfort of our own safety, when one of our own has been marked out for public destruction and the crowd is invited to join in.
This is one of those moments.
Ben Roberts-Smith VC, MG, has been turned into a national effigy, not merely by accusation, but by years of cultivated hatred, insinuation, and our leaders’ moral cowardice. Before the criminal process has run its course, before the law has spoken with finality, vast parts of an obscenely wealthy media class have already behaved as though the verdict were theirs to give. That’s not justice, it’s a predatory appetite for the ancient thrill of seeing a man cast down.
And cast down he has been, with a zeal that should trouble every serious Australian.
We are told this is accountability and virtue. We are told this is proof that our institutions are healthy. But many Australians can see something darker at work: a vindictive national reflex that delights in the demolition of its own warriors, a media culture that has learned how to convert accusation into theatre, and a political class so morally timid that it would rather abandon a frontline soldier than risk displeasing the chattering classes.
There is a reason why Pauline Hanson and her One Nation Party have generated shockwaves through our cowardly political elite who have destroyed this country, and the things we most value.
A decent people should know the difference between justice and bloodlust.
That difference matters now.
There is a world of difference between saying that allegations should be properly tested, and saying that a man should be torn to pieces before that process has started. There is a world of difference between lawful scrutiny and the social ritual of reputational execution. To ask for due process is not to undermine justice. It is to defend it.
The task now for good Australians is to say, calmly but unflinchingly, that Australia owes its soldiers more than abandonment.
It is to say that men sent by their country into the most violent and morally disordered theatres on earth should not return home to find themselves abandoned to wealthy headline writers, reputational sadists, and institutional cowards.
It is to say that the presumption of innocence is not an inconvenience to be brushed aside whenever the accused is unfashionable, decorated, or inconvenient to elite opinion.
If Australia becomes a country that cannot distinguish allegation from proof, trial from theatre, and justice from envy, then no soldier sent into future wars will ever again trust the nation that sent him.
That is why this moment matters far beyond one name.
Many Australians have already reacted with disgust at the spectacle of his arrest and with alarm at the eagerness of public figures to either join the pile-on or fall silent in cowardice. Publicly documented support has stressed loyalty, presumption of innocence, concern about the humiliation of the arrest, and revulsion at the readiness of others to wash their hands of him. These reactions of good Australians reflect a deep and valid unease at seeing decorated service answered with a town square lynching.
Australians should now do three things.
First, refuse to be bullied into abandoning him. Too many Australians have been conditioned to think that once the media has marked a man for destruction, silence becomes wisdom and loyalty becomes scandal. That is a lie. This is the moment to hold fast to the principles that matter most: that allegations must be proven, that trial by headline is not justice, and that a soldier does not forfeit his right to fairness because he has become the chosen target of public hatred. The easy path is to step back and say nothing. The honourable path is to stand firm.
Second, speak plainly. Speak in homes, workplaces, veterans’ circles, churches, pubs, and communities. Say that our soldiers are not disposable. Say that accusation is not conviction. Say that media frenzy is not morality. Say that a nation which devours its fighting men while congratulating itself on its virtue is already in moral decline.
Third, stand by the broader class of men who bore the burden of war on our behalf. Not with blind idol-worship, not with excuses for every act, and not with tribal fanaticism, but with the simple conviction that those who served in our name deserve fairness, dignity, and loyalty from the country they served.
This is not a plea for special treatment. It is a plea for equal justice, and for the recovery of our nation’s conscience.
For too long, too many in this country have confused moral posturing with moral seriousness. They have mistaken the destruction of a soldier for the cleansing of a nation. They have treated contempt as sophistication, betrayal as prudence, and silence as statesmanship.
Enough.
A country that asks men to kill and die in its name cannot then affect moral innocence when war proves ugly. A country that pins medals on a man in one year and helps crucify him in the next has not become more righteous. It has become more cowardly.
Australians must decide now what kind of people we are.
Are we a people who wait patiently for justice, or a people who join the howl?
Are we a people who honour service even when it becomes politically inconvenient, or a people who abandon our own at the first sign of elite disapproval?
Are we a people capable of moral seriousness, or merely of moral fashion?
I say this plainly: do not surrender your conscience to the mob. Do not mistake volume for truth. Do not let envy, malice, cowardice, and spectacle have the final word over honour, bravery, loyalty, and justice.
Stand firm. And do not abandon the soldier while the wolves are still circling.
My sincere thoughts and prayers to the Roberts-Smith family, and to all our soldiers presently wondering if they’re next.
Well your country is being pilfered from right under your noses. Elbow and co do not represent your country, they represent the pilferers. Your country is just about gone. You have been told “You will own nothing” by Swissy’s WEF no less and you have had about 7 years to think about it. By now you should have a good idea of what’s happening and how this will be achieved. You are the new blackfellas, and even the old blackfellas will own nothing, as Swissy’s UN will have control of all their supposed land rights gains. You’re in every kind of trap, a debt trap, a medical trap, a governance trap of insane over-regulation and taxing everything, a trap of media lies, like a fly in a spider’s web.
Your house price will keep going up so even a shitbox flat will put you out of range for the pension and your superannuation is shrinking as fast as the petrol price goes up. You think the RBA is telling the truth about anything, they are doing PayID, the local version of Swissy’s CBDCs. The government spend on surveillance is amazing. Every street-light will be wired into a data centre soon, looking in your bedroom window like the computer in Kubrick’s space movie. We’re told it’s to catch evil doers, like you with your seatbelt “worn wrong” when your car is full of airbags. Watching this develop is like watching opium eaters dreaming their way to death.
How did BRS get to Afghanistan? He was flown over courtesy of our defense dept. Authorised by the lying rodent johnny winston coward. Where am I going with this. Committing to the invasion of Afghanistan under a know lie means that the lying rodent contracted trained killers like BRS to commit murder. Whether he did or didn’t is a matter for the corrupt courts to determine. Yet johnny winston howard who ordered the killers into action evades prosecution.
All Political, there is mention that he offered to walk in and present himself at local station to face these charges willingly, but no they went down the path of turning it into a spectacle of surprising him disembarking a flight. And wouldn’t you know it the channel 9 cameras were there to capture this event, tipped off to grossly inflate their trial by Media.
Disgusting low life group of Malignant and rancid scum we have in our society.
It reminds me of what they did to Lindy Chamberlin.
They absolutely crucified an innocent woman.
They made the most ludicrous accusations and tried her in the media. They ignored real evidence of her innocence.
They destroyed her life, her marriage, her reputation, everything. Sent her to jail for years.
It was disgusting.
But the Australian public believed them.
The corrupt to the core media, investigators, the judiciary and the govt were all in on it.
And then she was proven innocent.
The same culprits did the same thing during Covid to the entire population.
And the Australian public. Many died from the mandated jab but the public believed them.
Now they’re doing the same to Ben Roberts Smith.
You cant train a man to kill and put him in the battlefield with stupid rules of engagement written by soft @rse pussys who have never seen combat and expect it to be civil.
It’s war! And war is dirty and this was really dirty war. A stupid war that we should never have been involved with. Afghanistan was never a threat to us.
The whole war was a war crime based on a huge lie.
The real criminals are the politicians and top brass who sent him. They’re the ones who should be rotting in jail.
This poor man faced war and danger and saved so many lives by risking his life. He just never expected to come back to an even bigger war with a much worse and devious enemy here in his own home.
This time the stakes are higher though. The territory they want to take is his very soul. The process is the punishment.
And should we be surprised?
After all our very own govt committed genocide on their own countrymen with their deadly Covid jab.
Next time they want a war send the politicians, their sons and daughters and trannys, the top brass, the media, the judiciary and see how they fare.
There’s no way I would be fighting for a govt that treats war hero’s like this.
They can fight their own war. Let us alone to live in peace.
And they wonder why there is anti-government sentiment. Geez, get a clue.
The whole thing is disgusting.
Aussies will talk tough but never do anything to protect him from globalist prosecution.
Aussies = cattle.
Hopefully the soldiers will catch up with this idiot Campbell before he dies. Editor
Well said Irene Albo should read it. Ed
Stand up for Ben Roberts! Like other who take action or speak the truth, they are deliberately being victimised. The government doesn’t want heroes or those not afraid to speak up. It wants to punish, debase, emasculate, and make people fearful of speaking out or taking any action.
Give them an award for the shows they put on for the public. Like a Roman arena, toss another innocent to the lions! It keeps our minds off holding a government to account for their crimes against the people.
Take the plandemic. How many people are dead? How many people were injured? How many people were brutalised while peacefully protesting? How many people are still suffering mentally? How many people were threatened unlawfully? HOW MANY IN POWER HELD TO ACCOUNT? NONE! And yet you unrighteous, full of lies, and B.S. cowards, have been tormenting this decorated soldier, who YOU sent to war, for 10 years. You lot should hang your heads in shame!
I come from the time, after WWII, when a returned soldier, still proudly in his dark uniform with his medals, would get on a Sydney tram, and everyone would stand up and offer their seat. His reward was that he was still alive, and that he was respected.
Not today. Didn’t we pay Afghanistan loads of money and give an apology even when they said there was no proof?
Australia has just become a drama queen.
And the actors are fooling nobody.
Could we please grow up.

Vaccine Injuries, illness, health damage and deaths from the COVID jabs / vaccines in Australia and globally has been catastrophic.
No mandates EVER should have been or should be enacted by anyone anywhere anytime for anything – NEVER !
——-
Australian Defence Force – 26 May 2021.
COVID Vaccine rolls out | Defence
Excerpt >
Key Defence leaders have received their COVID-19 vaccine and have encouraged staff – particularly those aged over 50 – to prepare for theirs.
Defence Secretary Greg Moriarty and Chief of the Defence Force General Angus Campbell had their first course of the AstraZeneca vaccine at the Duntroon Health Centre.
“Along with COVIDSafe behaviours, vaccination offers a vital additional layer of protection and I was pleased to receive the vaccination as soon as I was eligible,” General Campbell said.
“We are gradually securing our supply of AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines to achieve the Defence COVID-19 vaccine roll-out and I encourage all ADF and APS personnel to take part in the roll-out when they’re eligible.”
Defence has so far administered about 13,000 vaccines to high-priority groups to maintain readiness and capabilities.
“The best thing our Defence personnel can do is remain COVID-safe, flexible and responsive until they are able to receive their vaccination,” General Campbell said.
Mr Moriarty encouraged all eligible ADF members and Defence public servants to prepare for their vaccinations.
“Our aim is to vaccinate the entire Defence workforce, both ADF and Defence civilians, as soon as we can,” Mr Moriarty said.
“Right now, the current focus is on having our managers and commanders prepare their people and develop their vaccination priority lists.”

This country (-australia) has degenerated far more than I care to acknowledge to myself, it is like living in nightmare unable to wakeup. A name popped into my mind Harry “Breaker” Morant, murdered by the English for following their orders. We should never been in Afghanistan, that crime had nothing to do with us, but that puffed up pae…le, the {Man of Steel) John Winston Howard committed us, again, to fight other countries illegal wars. These Corporate Criminals (politicians) should be brought in front of a Tribunal, to answer for their Treason, War Crimes, Crimes against Humanity. Wishful thinking I know, I will wake up from this nightmare and find it is reality……F***.
Australian warriors adhere to such rules of engagement that they cannot kill unless being fired upon or they be in grave danger so for Ben Roberts-Smith to be found guilty his commanding officer will have a lot of explaining to do as to why Corporal Roberts wasn’t arrested and sent home immediately to face a military court .
Note: In the media it was written that the Afghan government found no wrong done whereas anyone would think they would be making a big noise about it .
I never served, which is why I respect those who have and still do serve our country. I don’t know the horrors they’ve faced or the difficult, “in the moment” decisions they’ve had to make. But I do know this, if you turn your back on a decorated soldier, decorated with a Victoria Cross, no less. Then you lose all credibility! Roberts-Smith was entrusted with the most difficult of assignments under the most pressure and extreme conditions a combatant can be placed. To bequeath this honour upon him, on the one hand, then charge him with war crimes, on the other, beggars belief, and smacks of political skulduggery! A witch hunt heading toward a kangaroo court. He doesn’t stand a chance against the political and judicial machine. It would seem the die is cast, sadly and unforgivably! I hope I’m wrong, but the wheels turn and the machine is gathering speed. Shameful!
The entire Afghan war was a fraud and the real perpetrator should be locked up, that was the Bush’s et al.
The soldiers were there to guard the poppy fields which became obsolete after synthetic opium was developed and ready for market during the Trump-Biden transition. Fake news M$M will not breathe a word of this.
This action by the criminals running our country will enrage all veterans across the country. Expect to see civil militias forming among the assemblies already in operation.
No one in their right mind should enlist in any military establishment controlled by the secret societies and the CORPORATE “Australian government”.
We know who these criminals are, so Nuremberg 2.0 will be an appropriate finale.
And what about Zacchery Rolf? What eventually happened to him?
The message is clear.
Don’t achieve anything unless someone else (a non achiever) can take the credit.
Contrast our ”PM”, Albanese the Weak, sitting among his islamic ‘friends’, cowering in fear. Then picture BRS and his brothers-in-arms [after how many tours of duty?] in close contact with a death-cult enemy indistinguishable from any civilian in Iraq. Now tell me, where is the courage and where is the cowardice??
The people bringing these accusations have no real evidence, the witnesses that testified against him were probably bought and paid for in my opinion, also the gutless cowards screaming the loudest have never been to war , they don’t know what it’s like to have bullets flying around you , supposedly friendly locals turning against you and attempting to kill you when you least expect it. What about charging the high ranking brass and defence minister with war crimes, these are the people that give the orders, don’t get me started on Angus Campbell an absolute weak pathetic gutless cowardly excuse of a man if I can call him that he is an absolute disgrace to the uniform , I’m certainly glad that I don’t serve in the military anymore , if anyone comes to me and sat Tony should I join the army my resounding answer will be HELL NO sports fans
I watched that Ch9 journo say last night a sentiment to the effect ‘It is not up to us (public) to judge . . this is other soldiers saying it was a war crime’.
Wipe the hands, move on.
That is the same Ch9 that was front and centre in softening up the public for a bio-weapon attack by stealth sanctioned by some senior ADF, most politicians and judiciary. What a sweet sight it will be to see all participants in the democide plead their cases in a Nuremberg style trial.
The Ben Roberts Smith saga has never been about Ben.
It has always been about to engender mistrust, weakening the Australian miltary.
This pervert traitor, Angus Campbell, is a WEF pupet.
And yet the Gaza slaughtering torturing bombing murderous evil monsters get invited >
In February –
Sydney, Australia — Israeli President Isaac Herzog received a warm welcome by a government determined to show solidarity with its grieving Jewish community, and mass protests by activists who consider him a war criminal.
Apologies, it’s not that I don’t care. I do however, understand from the evidence I have been provided, that Ben is another Patsy just like Martyn and Lee Harvey. Smoke, mirrors and deflection.
https://c.org/cX2Tf2vN8p
Please support this fella Ben who was born innocent and free in the above petition.
I don’t care what he did, he is being abused by our politicians and demonic legacy media.
Well the silver lining in this travesty of justice is that Ben Roberts Smith can look forward to a retirement enriched by the millions of dollars of compensation he richlyly deserves after firstly winning his case against the current allegations against him, then suing Channel 9 and potentially the AFP for compensation in a defamation law suit.
Why isn’t Andrew Hastie facing the same for what was reported of what he did ?
I do not know whether Ben Roberts-Smith is guilty of the crime he is accused of, but I do know he has not had a fair trail. Not unusual for Australia! Anyone remember a fellow named Martin Bryant.
Also it is not unusual for the A.F.P. to be involved in crime. I have definite proof of that statement. The A.F.P. just happened to be involved in crime during the Martin Bryant case also. 1996 and 2026, a mere 30 years part, but they were also involved in a crime concerning me personally in between.
The A.F.P. also refused to investigate the crimes of politicians during the Covid-19 scam and lethal injections mandated by those same criminals who never took the mandated “vaccines” themselves.
Talk about “the pot calling the kettle black”.
How is it that Nick McKenzie commits journalism treason but is not punished or even disciplined for his crimes.? Ben Roberts-Smith should be a free man imo… we were aware at the time that all evidence against him was rigged.. lies & deception.. paid for by the criminal msm (Ch. 9). Why do they not have to face the courts to face recriminations for their crimes.? I have nothing but contempt for the two bitter women in his life… they lack character & integrity… money buys everything.. they will rue the day their nastiness & love of $$ ruined a man’s life & reputation. I hope his young daughters remain loyal to their hero father.. not criminal as painted).
The author opens with the question – “… What sane Australian would want to join the military?”
Don’t, folks. Just don’t.
It’s a circus, and it’s run by clowns.
Not nice clowns, not happy clowns like Krusty or even Ronald MacDonald.
No folks, we’re talking about sold-out paid-off ladder-climbing consumately political anti-Australian Treasonous clowns, more along the line of Pennywise, except much more craven sycophantic arse-lickers and back-stabbing child-molesters than Pennywise could ever aspire to be.
You’ve been warned, folks. Don’t let your offspring join the COPORATE armies of shit-for-brains Granny-bashing child-molesting pig-raping mass-murdering Australian-hating hired mercenary thugs who market themselves as “police”, and don’t allow your progeny under any circumstances to enrol in the thoroughly colonial and utterly expendable cannon-fodder brigades known hilariously as the “Australian Defence Force”.
Damn the stupidity of these evil halfwits who have drummed up this insane load of bunkum poop against Ben. This guy is utterly innocent The politicians behind this skulduggery will rot in hell.
