Australia has refused to allow right-wing content creator Candace Owens into the country for a planned speaking tour, with officials saying it wouldn’t serve the “national interest” to welcome the online provocateur.
“From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about [Nazi doctor Josef] Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,” Immigration Minister Tony Burke told Australian outlets over the weekend.
“Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.”
“Tickets to these events are selling for $100,” he added in The Sydney Morning Herald. “I hope she has a good refunds policy.”
Local leaders began pushing for Australia to reject her visa this summer, after Owens described stories about Nazi medical experiments as “propaganda.”
The Anti-Defamation Commission, a civil rights group, called the decision a “victory for truth.”
“Australia has no place for those who mock the suffering of genocide survivors and insult the memories of the 6 million Jews who perished,” chairman Dvir Abramovich told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Owens planned to conduct a speaking tour across Australia in November.

Barry,
ReplyDeleteLet us look at what some people may call, "a black woman of prominence" Candice Owens said......
“The idea that they just cut a human up and then sewed them back together. Why would you do that? Even if you’re the most evil person in the world, that’s a tremendous waste of time and supplies,”
I disagree with her when she said that about Mengele. I believe Mengele did exactly that and worse. Were the Nazi's bigger monsters in WW2 than Japans Unit 731 or bigger monsters who carried out the Tuskegee experiments . And today we have MSM/Legacy media using wank, weak, woke, vegan arguments to justify kids being butchered by monsters---only it is dressed up as the 'Trans movement'.
Candice Owens (who some call a black woman of prominence) then said...
“And part of that learning process for me, when I started looking into it, was coming across a huge fact that we ethnically, the allies, ethnically cleansed 12 million Germans.”...
That tells me when you look at all the deaths in WW2 committed by all sides the Nazis came out 3rd, the Allies came 2nd and Stalin came 1st---looking at deaths in WW2 from purely numbers--not reasons for the killing.
Did Muslims start the slave trade...I've no idea neither have you Barry---Although Wiki has an article titled History of slavery in the Muslim world ---worth a skim---according to the piece slavery in the Arab world it has been around for a very long time was only banned in most of the Arab world between the start of the 20th Century and 1981.
It should baffle the snowflakes a bit when they see a strong independent black woman being smeared by the 'men can be women' gang of wingnuts #thedumbages
ReplyDeleteIt's important to distinguish slavery in general from the African Slave Trade in that historically there has been slavery all over the globe, probably affecting every village since time immemorial but the African Slave Trade was a legal system of enslaving purely black individuals and giving them no rights and their owners the right to treat them as chattels. Europeans were to blame and we're all collectively reaping the benefit today.
ReplyDeleteSpot on, Simon
DeleteShe's nuts more than anything else. Besides, it would inflame the local Hamas/Hezbollah mob here one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteAnd your Jewish community too? Goebbels and Streicher were nuts also but very clever and skilled wingnuts.
DeleteFrankie, I have my issues with some of the trans movement but your comparison with Mengele is disgusting not
DeleteBarry,
DeleteProbably. She's clearly an attention seeker.

ReplyDeleteBarry it's called eugenics---read up on the subject and join the dots yourself.
Simon...

Sometimes I find it difficult to distinguish from the 'slave trade'...I watch people walking around in designer clothes that are made in sweatshops, or watch people buy items from Amazon---they have been called out for treating staff no better than slaves up to the elephant in the room, human/sex trafficking...
Slave trade---to coin a phrase "It hasn't gone away you know"
Frankie, African slaves were literally treated like chattel with no status of humanity. They were units of labour who were the total property of their masters. 12 million were trafficked across the Middle Passage to work almost to the point of death the sugar and cotton and tobacco plantations of European colonial empires Do I have to talk about the flogging s, raped, mutilations and massacres of those who rebelled?
ReplyDeleteWho sold those African slaves to the Europeans Barry?
DeleteMany West African leaders were involved in the slave trade. There's no records to specify by number how many of the 15 million Africans were kidnapped or stolen from Africa and how many were sold. With superior fighting power and navies the Europeans had the upper hand and capturing slaves was easier than you think. Read King Leopold's Ghost. It is estimated 10 million died as a result of King Leopold's actions in the Congo. Life was cheap.
DeleteYou tend to miss the point though Steve. The point is that legally, the only victims of the trans-Atlantic chattel slave trade were Africans. Legally if you were a slave in America your children belonged to your owner who could kill, rape or enslave them at will. You could be tortured or starved. You literally had no rights. You were property like an object is someone's property. Black Africans Steve. It matters less who caused it than who the victims were but all evidence points to the majority being taken by force. By Europeans.
Frankie, your rank transphobia blinds you to the obvious difference between the lack of options that Mengele's "patients " face under the knife and that trans people take voluntary of sometimes misinformed decisions to go under the knife. Do you have a moral compass?
