      Which powerful politicians has he brought down. I havent seen any politician charged for any major crimes ever. They just transition into other interests.
      I agree that he is the sort of journalism we need and if all journalists on mainstream were like this then the world wouldnt be the way it is. Even after his house was burnt, the mainstream continue to claim he is a 'controversial' youtuber not a journalist. But thats not how journalism is because its about brainwashing the public, and governments know that the majority of humans are just stupid and believe anything they are told. But in the end, politicians get away with everything no matter how much evidence there is because they are protected and above their own laws and cover it all up and use the mainstream to ridicule the public.
      True journalism is always silenced. Just ask Julian Assange who is still being held captive as a hostage. Because thats what he really is a hostage not a prisoner.
      And yet the public not just here but around the world are just pebbles in the sand that get washed out after every wave because they are too weak to stand up as a rock.

      All politicians use this tactic when under the heat. They just retire and walk away like nothing happened. How many politicians have walked away in the last 5yrs and then go and open their own companies and whatnot for more corruption which is then not in the public eye and no one knows what they are up to.

Winchester is Australia's most senior police officer to have been murdered.[2][4][5] At the time of Winchester's murder, it was alleged that Winchester was corrupt; the accusation being that he had handled bribes relating to an illegal casino in Canberra. However, an audit of Winchester's financial affairs after his murder revealed nothing untoward. There were also allegations of 'Ndrangheta or Mafia involvement in his murder.[2][4][6]

    His video on nuclear power (which apparently nobody else liked) helped disillusion me that he was this omnipotent and benevolent source of information. Which I personally think is a good thing. We all need to be more critical of the media we consume. Some people just don't get that even when it is presented as clear as day to them. However, the points he makes and the policies he brings to light through the stories of these corrupt politicians are still worthwhile. Especially to someone like me who is an Australian in NSW and has seen the effects of such policies firsthand. He is doing important work for the Australian public and whether you like him or think he's a 'lefty UA-cam comedian' he has built an organization around fighting the good fight. Something nowadays we are told to forget about...

      Back then it was still a feasible option and even backed by lots of STEM university students, including myself. Problem was nobody thought it was 'safe', 'clean enough' or 'affordable' then, so it was put off and now it is being used as a scapegoat /easy buzzword for Dutton to try and prop himself up with. Reality is Australia has a TON of mineral resources including potential fission fuel minerals such as Uraninite (shame the mineral council and thinktanks are now using probably the best option we have for non-renewable energy to now run their corruption machine, it really is a tragedy). All of which could have been used locally instead of being sold off. For a collective resource/infrastructure profit instead of a marginally low financial profit.

    His being "immature" is a legitimate tactic. He goes after detestable figures and says what we're all thinking about them. Plus, it grabs attention, meaning more people at least hear his criticisms of corruption. His delivery isn't a reason to ignore the very serious issues that he brings to light.

    Jordan is a great anti-corruption warrior…..except for the fact that he rarely criticises the Labor Party. The ALP is just as corrupt and ready to destroy the environment for good relationships with business as the Liberals and Clive Simpson independents. Otherwise I love his takes on environment and economy and he certainly didn’t deserve what happened to him. I remember the Borilaro fight; the latter was entirely in the wrong.

      @@jimbylad7046 of course! First off let's start with the video about pine gap where he starts off with the most bs history lesson concerning our constitutional crisis in 1975. Jordies contended that the CIA and our governed general did a coup on the Whitman government because he was too anti-american, a common left wing conspiracy theory. Bloody Gough Whitlam (the guy that lost power) himself denies that the CIA was involved and there was several investigations into the crisis, and all they could could find is informal links and some small anecdotes and quotes taken out of Context. Unfortunately for jordies, this was the only evidence found, and there is absolutely NOTHING concrete to suggest the CIA had any direct influence over the governer-general, or Malcolm Fraser. It is little more then a conspiracy theory, and besides, the Australian people got to vote in a democratic election a month after the crisis in which the opposition was elected fair and square. Funny how jordies leaves that bit out...

      Look at swollen pickles criticism of jordies haff video but probably more effective is watching the rebuttal to jordies podcast critique, in it he points how jordan misconstrews datapoints,uses false evidence, plainly makes up facts in order to justify the labor parties policy. He is an openly partisan political commentator for labor. While good as a voice for dissent against msm, and a decent investigative journalist. He is unlikely to be found giving actual criticism to labor. His persecution is ofc unwarranted and extremely risky and heroic of him to continue.

    • @elanplotkin9744
      @elanplotkin9744 6 місяців тому +2

      In the podcast he equates the haff to a visionary policy when most people say its lukewarm, he compares it to the future fund something, something that doesnt make sense due to less money in the fund and it pays out much sooner and regularly.he also claims the policy is untouchable for when the liberals get into goverment. In which if you listen carefully jordies becomes ok with pork barreling so long as it provides housing. He also disregards the ideas that even labour own regional groups may disagree with the policy and ignore the calls made by people in the union sector to push for more significant investment.

    watched so far was wade from the "trash network", dankpods, garbage time and so on). Australian citizens are very lucky to have Jordan, he might have a very "late 2010's" type of humor but as a 25 yo, it speaks to me and because he gives the impression of being limitless, it helped him gaining popularity, unlike in France where "youtube investigative journalists" have far less viewership... He also took side for the war crime whistleblower David McBride, who was sadly jailed some time ago, absolutely no coverage in France, I tried to raise awareness to my friends but of course that's not enough...
    Without Jordan, I woulnd't be so invested into australian politics and because it's still an entertaining (albait dangerous) shitshow, i'm grateful for the noble causes he fight for, his righteousness and for being amazing and funny overall.
