When a white Australian politician decided to protest a ban on climbing a sacred rock, an Aboriginal person’s clapback went viral.

In August 2019, Pauline Hanson, a senator who’s made headlines with her racist remarks, travelled with a TV crew to protest a ban on humans trekking up Uluru, an 863-metre-high sandstone monolith that juts out of the flat landscape of Australia’s Northern Territory. The rock is sacred to the Aboriginal Pitjantjatjara people.

But what came next earned public praise. The 69-year-old politician, known for founding the far-right One Nation party, told two Aboriginal café workers near Uluru that she was indigenous to the land and questioned why they were working there if they were Aboriginals from other regions. She accused the two of taking away jobs from ‘locals.’ However, the women stood their ground, and one named Faith Saylor checked Hanson by raising that the senator might actually be indigenous to England.

Second Thought: The New F-Word Series

The fact this guy was on the record for such heinous crimes, yet got such a generous deal from the government, virtually guarantees he is some sort of CIA informant or COINTELPRO-type agent.

Carl Sagan was a Brooklyn-born American astronomer, scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, educator, and theorist. He was interviewed by CNN's Ted Turner in 1989 on many topics and talked about how humanity needs to evolve beyond greed and war.

Ted Turner then asked if Carl Sagan if he was a socialist.

Carl responded by talking about the US's obsession with wasting money on defense projects instead of investing in its people, ending with "we are using money for the wrong stuff."
