Foreign Interference? Outrage as Israel and Its Lobbyists Attempt to Cancel Free Speech Summit in Australia

Accusations of direct foreign interference are erupting across Australian independent media and public forums after it was revealed that Israel and associated lobbyists were behind a coordinated campaign to pressure The Star Casino Gold Coast into cancelling the upcoming Free Speech Summit and Independent Media Awards, scheduled for July 19th and 20th. The high-profile summit — hosted by Australian National Review ( and supported by — was set to feature over 20 international speakers, including journalists, whistleblowers, doctors, activists, and political commentators. Thousands of attendees have already registered, with many flying in from interstate and abroad, and a global livestream audience expected to reach into the millions. But in a stunning development, organisers have revealed that relentless pressure from Israeli-aligned interests, including waves of harassing emails directed at speakers, led to the last-minute cancellation of the venue by The Star Casino — a publicly listed company whose major shareholder, Vanguard, has strong ties to Israeli financial networks. 'This isn't just censorship — this is direct foreign interference on Australian soil,' said Jamie McIntyre, founder of Australian National Review and host of the summit. 'No other country has tried to shut down this event. Only Israel, and its aggressive lobbying apparatus, is working overtime to silence free speech in Australia.' Speakers say they have been bombarded with pressure from unknown and known sources, demanding they withdraw from the event — using fear tactics, veiled threats, and moral condemnation under the pretext of 'preventing hate speech.' However, many argue that the real reason for the interference is the event's planned discussions around media manipulation, foreign influence, censorship, and Israel's role in global geopolitics. 'The idea that a foreign nation is telling Australians who we can or cannot hear from, and demanding an Australian venue cancel an event or face consequences, should deeply disturb every citizen,' said one international speaker, who asked to remain anonymous due to the volume of harassment received. Organisers have now relocated the event to a secure, undisclosed location on the Gold Coast to protect the integrity of the summit and ensure speakers and attendees are not further targeted. 'This will not silence us,' McIntyre said. 'In fact, it proves exactly why we need this summit more than ever. If Israel is so threatened by free speech, then that should raise alarm bells about its real agenda. The Australian people have a right to hear these voices. This is our country, not theirs.' Critics are calling on the Australian government to investigate the extent of foreign lobbying influence behind the scenes, and whether the cancellation of the event by a major venue was influenced by external state actors in violation of Australian sovereignty and democratic principles. What's at stake is more than just one summit. It's the question of whether Australians are still free to speak — or whether powerful foreign entities can dictate what we're allowed to say, hear, or believe. The Free Speech Summit and the Independent Media Awards will still go ahead as scheduled, with thousands expected to attend in person and virtually. The exact location will be revealed privately to ticket holders and media partners for security reasons.

Will the Australian Government Ban International Speakers from

As the Free Speech Summit approaches on July 19th–20th at the Star Theatre, Gold Coast, questions are once again swirling about whether the Australian government will attempt to block international speakers from entering the country—just as they controversially did last year with conservative commentator Candace Owens. Hosted by the Australian National Review ( the is set to become one of the most important gatherings for independent media, political dissidents, and truth-seekers in Australia's history. With over 22 high-profile speakers flying in from around the world—including doctors, journalists, influencers, and whistleblowers—the stakes are high. And so is the scrutiny. A Pattern of Silencing Dissent? Last year, Candace Owens was denied entry to Australia due to her political views and controversial opinions, sparking widespread criticism from free speech advocates and civil liberties organizations. The Australian government cited 'potential social unrest' as justification—an eerily familiar tactic used by authoritarian regimes to block dissent. Now, similar concerns have been raised that the same strategy could be used to interfere with the Free Speech Summit, which features guests known for their unapologetic stances on censorship, COVID-19 narratives, globalism, and government overreach. What Are They So Afraid Of? Speakers scheduled to appear include Stew Peters, Steve Kirsch, Max Igan, Aussie Cossack, Dr. Ben Tapper, and Jamie McIntyre, founder of and outspoken critic of globalist agendas. Their topics range from vaccine injuries to government censorship and the manipulation of mainstream media. Given the history of politically motivated visa cancellations and bureaucratic interference, the possibility of governmental obstruction looms large. After all, allowing such speakers into the country runs counter to the carefully curated mainstream narrative. Why You Must Attend or Tune In Despite potential hurdles, the Free Speech Summit is going ahead—and growing in strength. Thanks to generous sponsors, over 10,000 global livestream tickets are now being given away for FREE, courtesy of Additionally, 1,000 in-person tickets have been donated by the major sponsor for the event and a leader in offshore real estate development for those seeking freedom and prosperity outside the West. Whether you're attending in person on the Gold Coast or tuning in online from anywhere in the world, this is not just another conference. It's a stand against censorship, a rally for liberty, and a beacon for those who refuse to be silenced. But if the government were to block international guests, it would only reinforce the event's central message: free speech is under siege in Australia. What to Expect •Groundbreaking exposés from whistleblowers and medical experts •Courageous journalism from banned and deplatformed media voices •Academy-style awards night recognizing the heroes of independent media •Real solutions and community for those resisting globalist control Don't Wait – Reserve Your Free Ticket History shows us that when regimes want to control the population, the first thing they do is silence those who speak out. The Free Speech Summit is a resistance to that tyranny—and a rallying cry for Australians and the world to take back their voice.

Why ASIC Owes Jamie McIntyre and His Investors Far More Than $5.81 Million

Why ASIC Owes Jamie McIntyre and His Investors Far More Than $5.81 Million In what could become one of the most controversial and politically explosive financial scandals in recent Australian history, questions are intensifying around the conduct of government agencies such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and whether they owe not only Jamie McIntyre a refund of $5.81 million-but also potentially hundreds of millions in compensation to him and his investors. The heart of the issue lies not just in financial mismanagement or regulatory overreach, but in what appears to be an orchestrated abuse of judicial and government power. McIntyre-entrepreneur, early Bitcoin investor, founder of independent media outlet Australian National Review ( and political activist-has long claimed that he and his business ventures were unfairly targeted due to his outspoken opposition to government corruption, his efforts to disrupt the political status quo, and his exposure of corporate and pharmaceutical fraud. The Origins of the Attack Jamie McIntyre rose to prominence in the early 2000s for his work in financial education and wealth creation. By 2013, his ambitions expanded into the political and media arenas with the launch of the political party 21st Century Australia and the news platform Australian National Review. The media outlet quickly became a voice for independent thinkers, political dissidents, and health freedom advocates, challenging mainstream narratives and providing platforms for whistleblowers. His biggest 'crime,' many argue, was telling his readers to buy Bitcoin when it was just $75-years ahead of the financial mainstream. He was one of Australia's earliest and most vocal crypto advocates. The success of that advice alone created thousands of new millionaires and financially independent readers, something that did not sit well with traditional banking and political interests. What followed was an intense and persistent campaign against McIntyre-culminating in ASIC actions, media smears, court proceedings, and asset freezes. He and his supporters argue that the legal actions were not driven by legitimate regulatory concerns, but rather by political retaliation. Abuse of Power and Judicial Manipulation The central allegation is that ASIC and other agencies knowingly misled Supreme Court judges by presenting distorted, incomplete, or outright false information-causing significant financial losses to McIntyre and his investors, which are now estimated to be as high as $250 million. Using taxpayer-funded resources, regulators allegedly abused the legal system to shut down McIntyre's ventures, freeze his assets, and destroy investor confidence. For many, this was not regulation-it was weaponized bureaucracy designed to silence a dissident. Critics argue that ASIC and its allies pursued McIntyre with more aggression than they ever applied to the executives of collapsed banks or corporations whose failures harmed hundreds of thousands of Australians. Meanwhile, the damage to McIntyre's companies, personal reputation, and investor capital went largely unacknowledged. A Call for Justice and Accountability Now, with mounting pressure and emerging documentation of judicial misconduct and regulatory overreach, calls are growing for a Royal Commission into ASIC's actions-not just in McIntyre's case, but in a broader context of how independent entrepreneurs and media voices are treated in Australia. While the return of $5.81 million-ordered or negotiated through the courts-is a start, it does little to address the massive real-world losses incurred by McIntyre and his investor base. Compensation, some argue, should be calculated not only on direct losses, but on opportunity cost, damage to business continuity, reputation, and the suppression of one of Australia's first truly independent media platforms. Silencing Political Dissent This case is not just about money. It is about freedom of speech, political persecution, and whether Australia is still a nation where independent thought is protected-or punished. McIntyre's exposure of the vaccine industry, his political aspirations, and his refusal to be silenced by institutional power made him a target. But in doing so, he also became a symbol for thousands of Australians who feel equally bullied, censored, or financially devastated by regulatory overreach. Final Thoughts If Australia is to maintain its reputation as a fair and democratic society, it must take seriously allegations of regulatory abuse. Compensation to McIntyre and his investors is not just justified-it is necessary to restore public trust and to send a clear message: that the political persecution of entrepreneurs and independent media voices will not be tolerated in a free society. This is more than a personal battle. It is a national reckoning with the unchecked power of unelected bureaucrats who, for too long, have operated with impunity.

Australian Developers Launch $6 Billion Smart City in Lombok

Australian Developers Launch $6 Billion Smart City in Lombok

Two visionary Australian developers, Jamie McIntyre, founder of Australian National Review and long-time Lombok, June 23, 2025 -- Two visionary Australian developers, Jamie McIntyre, founder of Australian National Review and long-time advocate for independent media and international investment, and his business partner Adrian Campbell, have officially launched one of Southeast Asia's most ambitious development projects: a $6 billion smart city known as Marina Bay City, now under construction on the island of Lombok, Indonesia - Bali's lesser-known but fast-rising neighbor. Dubbed the 'next Dubai meets Bali', Marina Bay City is a master-planned development spanning luxury villas, beach resorts, private hospitals, wellness centers, digital nomad hubs, education precincts, and a marina lifestyle precinct - all aimed at one rapidly growing market: Western expats looking to escape increasing restrictions, surveillance, and cost-of-living pressures back home. From Vision to Billions McIntyre and Campbell have taken the bold approach of creating billions in real estate value before even completing construction. Through strategic land banking, private equity fundraising, and the power of master-planned city design, the duo has successfully acquired and rezoned hundreds of hectares of prime oceanfront land, transforming raw beachfront and hillside terrain into a globally marketed smart city that's now gaining momentum among early investors. According to early valuation reports and investor presentations, the project - once fully built - is expected to exceed $6 billion in total developed value, with projected revenues from villa sales, commercial leasing, tourism, and healthcare services. With land already appreciating sharply in Lombok due to the spillover from Bali's tourism saturation, McIntyre and Campbell's early-mover advantage is already paying off. 'We're creating wealth from raw dirt and big vision,' says McIntyre. 'It's what great developers do. We didn't wait for governments or corporations - we saw a global trend and built the solution: a safe, free, vibrant city for people seeking a better lifestyle and more freedom.' Why Lombok, and Why Now? As Bali reaches its limits in terms of land availability and congestion, Lombok - just a short 20-minute flight away - is emerging as Indonesia's next property boom hub. The Indonesian government has already designated it a national tourism development priority, pouring billions into international airport expansion, roads, and energy infrastructure. Add to that white-sand beaches, dramatic coastlines, and growing demand from Australians, Europeans, and Americans - and Lombok is becoming the new frontier. Marina Bay City is strategically positioned on Lombok's picturesque southern coastline, minutes from the Mandalika MotoGP circuit and surrounded by untouched surf beaches and reef-lined bays. A City for the Future - And the Freedom-Minded Unlike traditional developments focused only on tourism, Marina Bay City has a deeper mission: to serve as a haven for freedom-seeking Westerners, particularly from Australia, where many feel increasingly disillusioned by the direction of political and economic policy post-pandemic. 'There's a silent exodus happening,' says Adrian Campbell. 'We're building not just real estate - we're building a new life for thousands of people who want safety, beauty, opportunity, and freedom. Marina Bay City is the first of its kind - a privately built, community-led smart city for expats and locals alike.' The Billionaire BlueprintIn less than three years, McIntyre and Campbell have effectively created billions in paper wealth through savvy land deals, innovative financing, and early adoption of global digital marketing. They're following the proven model of Dubai's success - where private developers created entire cities from desert - but applying it to a tropical, freedom-oriented lifestyle. Their company is also exploring tokenized real estate investments, sustainable infrastructure, and digital residency programs - making Marina Bay City a model of modern, decentralized, community-first development. With construction already underway and hundreds of villas now in planning or early sales phases, the duo's status as self-made billionaires is rapidly solidifying - not just on paper, but in bricks, mortar, and visionary execution.
