They sent our soldiers to war… now they are putting them ontrial.

In this episode of Honest and Open Conversations, we breakdown one of the most controversial cases in Australian history — theprosecution of Ben Roberts-Smith.

This is not about “taking sides.”

This is about understanding the reality of modern warfare,the rules of engagement, and whether civilian legal systems are even capable ofjudging combat decisions made in life-or-death environments.

We explore:

The realities of asymmetric warfare and insurgency conflict

Rules of engagement and what soldiers are actuallyauthorised to do

The role of media in shaping public perception

The influence of international law and global institutions

Whether Australia is compromising its own sovereignty

War is not black and white.

But the legal system demands that it is.

So the real question becomes:

Are we pursuing justice… or dismantling the very people whodefend this country?

Modern feminism has not grown through honest debate.

It has grown through fear.

Fear, repetition, manipulation, and narrative control.

It has convinced women and weak, manipulative men

that there was a necessity for a movement

that, in its current form, has done more harm than good.

And we can measure outcomes.

Lower birth rates.

Rising addiction.

Declining happiness.

And tens of thousands of abortions every single year.

That is not progress.

That is a cultural shift with consequences.

And the question we should be asking is not whether it feels right

but whether it is actually working?

You don’t believe it because it’s true.
You believe it because it feels true.

And it feels true…
because you’ve heard it enough times.

That’s not thinking.
That’s conditioning.

So, ask yourself:
Did I think this through…
or did I just hear it enough?
