Damn  as a Sydneysider this hits way too close to home :’( 

It’s really hard to find the words to know to what to say. Regardless of your opinions political violence is just awful all around. I guess I’m just praying for the victims and all of Sydney as a whole. May they rest in peace  🙏

Apparently the guy who was recorded stopping the gunman was a Muslim named Ahmed Al Ahmed who owns a grocery store in Sutherland Shire. Honestly this is a huge sigh of relief for me, as someone with Muslim friends it always feels shitty knowing that events like these make them more of a target, so the fact that the guy who saved lives was Muslim goes a long way at dispelling the narrative that they’re all violent radicals. And like, what other example of pure Sydney heroism is there than a Muslim grocery guy who probably lets you keep the extra bananas you can’t afford when you’re tight on cash stopping a bunch of Jihadi radicals from killing more Jewish festival goers? The guy is an instant legend in my book.

It’s still scary times but thank heavens something positive can come out of this. God knows we need it

You couldn't find a less Muslim immigrant either LOL.

It's like if Apu from the Simpsons stopped 9/11.

This is so heartbreaking.

I never would've thought that an Arab would save many jews in that situation like this.

This actually happened a lot in the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. Arabs saved Jews, Jews saved Arabs. Arab and Jews died to save lives of each-other. This is rarely talked about outside of Israel. 
People often talk about Jews protecting Arabs, i.e, Jews trying to protect Arabs in the WB from violent settlers, but the opposite happens too.

Yeah, I saw mother and them watching it on the news but i haven't looked into it yet. I've been focusing on my life and planning my next moves. 

A little RANT on my part... Why i don't watch the news or pay attention anymore, not that I don't care but people don't listen anyways.

I know it may sound selfish of me but honestly I've seen this pattern all around the world. It just doesn't surprise me anymore and gets repetitive, and people don't listen, they destroy nature, they destroy themselves, they hate one another, they don't clean up their lives up, they don't wanna change and move, they wanna keep killing animals, they wanna keep being enslaved by politicians and religious leaders, living in fear and not standing up for the truth and freedom, not realizing we the cells are the true source of power, and things like this and more will continue to happen, until mother nature flips the whole earth upside down if she must, people need to WAKE UP.

The indigenous and awakened ones have been screaming this for decades, if not centuries. This way of life (the modern world we live today) is not sustainable, it needs to change, big time, everyone needs to change, we need to live how Christ and Buddha lived, and treat one another as they did, these are the ways of God of Nature, this is the age of awakening and its only a matter of time before everything MUST and WILL change.

If you can't change and grow up, these things will keep happening, as "wake up" calls, to move, to change, to grow, COVID was a big one.

People gather like ants living in one city, when there's a whole world out there, that's why there is so much disease and sickness, we are not spread and living naturally and caring for the land, we are living artificially inside smart-homes and AI systems. This is sickness, disorder, distortion of nature.

We need to change our ways, and as we do more collectively, less of these things will occur naturally, but currently we are at a breaking point, where the darkness and corruption of the world and its nations is crumbling under its own weight and poor design, so before the new world arises, there must be a clearing, a big storm, to shaken and awaken all the humans, to get their shit together before its too late.

If you think COVID was bad, if humans don't shape up soon, far worse will come. I am not the first to say this. This is ancient wisdom.

We are the Cells of this Earth, we need to cleanse ourselves and change our ways if we value a truly rich and profound life.

The most important news is never aired on the news, they don't see the value and spirit of the planet herself (AS A LIVING BEING), she gets treated like shit, so humans experience disease and distortion, why? because they are not listening, they are not acknowledging, they are not respecting the very mother from which they sprouted from, they walk around like GODS trying to dominate everything, when they are only destroying their own soil and selves.

All the prophets and important speakers are killed and silenced, and no one bats and eye. They just move along and keep their heads down.

Living in fear, well fear will not prevent death my friends, fear only prevents life, a life lived in full.

So while we all rot inside these artificial spaces and toxic living systems, few are the brave ones who actually live to make a change for the better,

I rather die young standing in truth then die old a slave who kept his mouth shit out of fear. 

Anyways, this post obviously triggered something with me, excuse the rant but i felt it needed to be said.

Rage against the dying of the light...

Gotta love how Right Media Outlets skip over the point the man who stopped one of the shooter is a Muslim.

How current times are, people jump to blame one group(based on skin colour or religion) who they despise the most. 
 

[Ramasta9]

"Are all those of our religion waiting for this door to open?”
“Our religion?” he repeated. “Never use this term again. What
does it mean? That you have come into the world somewhere with
a color of skin, habits, beliefs, and hopes? If that is what it is, then
it means nothing. We have no religion, Simon, we have no beliefs;
we walk without a staff upon the ray of light issued from the Father’s
mouth . . . and we prepare the advent of Him who is to come."

He kept repeating that the truth bore no face at all, that
people should seek truth within themselves through their own
work; we were all, he said, the atoms of a single body, whether we
were aware of it or not—the body of his Father.

"Do not create one more religion,thinking you serve the Eternal One. His desire is that the people of
your Earth go beyond that notion of religion, that they transcend
it in order to rediscover the original unity. Teach their hearts and
their minds how to break down the barriers that divide them, but do not raise up one more wall to surround them through the
commentaries of my words, which, thus, would become dead letter.
Will you be able to accept this? I fear that the mirrors of time will
distort the truth, my Brothers. I fear that the human race on earth,
for the time being, is only to walk on one leg.

“Link their hearts to their true source, but do not invent yet
another model image for them. Above all, do not shape for them
the contours of a new god, rather awaken their memories apart from
any moral values." 

- A great man that once spoke how it should be spoken, and yet I wonder... are we still on one leg?

Be that as it may, sooner or later something like this was gonna happen.

The aftermath that is also super sad are the supposed pundits, that come forth to explain to Us children why this stuff happens, but they don't really care, they just want hits and more popularity, same with the regular media...on and on it goes, nothing changes, and this event will be forgotten in a week... Sad state of affairs really, the event itself and the resulting actions afterwards!

I disagree.

This is not the USA, this is Australia. 

After the 1999 Port Arthur Massacre in Australia (35 dead), the Aussies passed the National Firearms Agreement, which seriously limited private gun ownership in Australia. This included a mandatory buy back scheme.

That evidences that the Aussies are capable of making serious legal changes in the wake of mass shootings. I'd argue the lack of American change in the wake of mass shooting is to do with distinct American cultural & political reasons.

I heard somewhere that the shooters were able to attain these weapons as members of a shooting club (need to check this). If so, I imagine that the Aussie government will pass laws seriously restricting people's ability to get weapons for recreational reasons, i.e. hunting, shooting club. So, I'm confident things will change in Australia.
