Thanks for following up on this Charlie, your words at the start are too kind! Cannot express how great it is to have this extra attention on such a crazy story from our little corner of the world.
1) Life threatened multiple times 2) Continues reporting 3) Makes more enemies 4) Stays in the country 5) "I apologize to my landlords, it's gonna be messy. I'm not going down without a fight" Stacking W's
@@abel6298 No, KJV is the bastardized work of a madman with too much power that wanted to keep a grip on his people and did so by bending their religion to his word
they vary as much as humans. it's unfortunate that people that care tend to feel it more when people dump on their effort. Thus we get more shameless opportunists, egomaniacs, and psychos. The smartest people i know irl prefer working at a bookshop over gov shitshows.
This man casually apologized to whoever finds his rotten corpse in the future. He knows the game he is playing and still continues to crack jokes. What a legend.
Australians were legendary in World War 1 for this kind of "Trench Humour" and the profound bravery it could inspire. FriendlyJordie represents the best of this country and this culture and is a true blue Australian hero to my mind.
100%! Dude it's honestly so crazy and scary I'm an Australian but only knew about friendlyjordies from moistcritical covering the firebombing a while back. I had no idea the level of pure corruption and scumbaggery going on in my own country!!
@@clairebourke8465 My elder sister and Father are both lawyers, she recently finished law school and now works as a public defender (to gain experience), apart from being constantly bombared with racism (people will record me and call me a terrorist lmao), Police officers in the states are real shit bags, even if your client is in the right they will FALCIFY evidence to get anyone in jail. I love how everyone sees Australia as an god of a country, but its far from it. As I write this, I was racially made fun of roughly 3 hours ago by a Teen and His group of friends, I don't know if it gets better when I'm an adult but for now its something I've got to deal with. The only thing I really am nervious about the racism is when it get phisical, unfortunatly, I have gotten into a fight against two 14 year olds who were recording me and made my brothers (twins and 7 year old) really uncomfortable, after I told them to piss off they got really agressive and pushed one of them to the ground, which is when I pushed them back and kicked them in the foot (which I may have done a tad bit to hard as one had tears in his eyes as the other was holding his broken phone after I pushed him). After that me and my brothers jolted off. Not really a corruption story but one I wanted to share about the common "Australia is so Inclusive" Myth, I have though multiple times to call the police but am worried about how they would treat me... In conclusion, Australia is Really corrupt, Racism is real and sucks ass
They are the "Fixated Persons Investigations Unit". Their mission statement is, "proactively locating people vulnerable to becoming obsessed with public figures prior to their causing any actual harm". Which apparently just means they were created to surveil and harass enemies of the NSW government. They don't investigate actual crimes that have taken place.
As a non-Australian, I was shocked to discover just how corrupt Australia is. And then I realized that it is probably just as corrupt everywhere but most places don't have journalists willing to stick their neck out in the way he has done. Jordan is a gift to the people of Australia for doing the dirty work that nobody else wants to do. He is doing a service for the regular people of the land down under.
They also disarmed their citizens for this exact purpose. Lol so many delusional, indenial bots, copium. And no, the few types of guns allowed by Australia, obtained by absurd rules and regulation, are not suitable for proper defense, especially from people who fire bomb your house.
some of journalist here in Philippines got killed for some corrupts here and it's fckn disgusting to see outside of my country happening this again like this.
@@mortiarty7842 the ones who don’t disarm fund the guys (cops) who’ll cover up/ignore attacks against us for speaking the truth!!! Screwed on both sides
As terrifying as this is, what I find more scary is that I haven't seen a SINGLE media outlet cover any of this in Australia. Really hope this guy stays safe.
It's extremely alarming. I genuinely would not have known about any of what's going on if Charlie hadn't made his video talking about this 2 months ago. What a sad state the world is in, where youtubers do better to inform the people than the news does
The issue is that a lot of the media in Australia (exception being the publicly owned ABC) is owned by the Murdochs, which, let's not mince words here, are very biased towards right-wing causes, and the deputy premier mentioned is a member of the right-wing National Party of Australia.
"its gonna be messy, im not goin down without a fight" man earned my respect a dozen times over before that statement, that just confirmed hes got bigger balls than any of the people targeting him
The funniest part is that as an Australian student every year since John made it a goddamn rule we get the “cyber bullying is a crime” by cops. At school.
@@yasininn76 Insulting someone is different from bullying them. If I call Kim Jong-Un a fatass, that would not be bad because he is widely considered a bad person. Calling a black person the hard-r is different, because by using that word you are announcing you are entirely motivated by racial bigotry.
As a fellow Australian, I’m so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves for such a serious and worrying event. He needs all the support he can get!
As an American, my only knowledge of this man was Isaac Butterfield's commentary on him quite a while back. I remember at the time thinking, "So a comedian is being raked over the coals by politicians for being offensive; sounds about right for the absolute state of the world." Isaac clearly didn't do this man justice in his presentation, though; I had no idea the work he was doing was so important - and direly serious. This whole narrative also reminds me of a man named Gary Webb; if you don't know who that is, look him up - but be warned that any news articles you can find about him were intentionally as discrediting as possible. I say "were" because Mr. Webb was found dead with two bullet wounds to the back of his head almost 20 years ago, which was officially ruled to be a "suicide."
I’m not an Australian but I’m praying for this dude because he’s doing such a good job to actually do some very impressive journalism and very narrowly dodge a possible death. Good on him to expose all that corruption.
Funny thing is... As an Australian he's not really saying anything people didn't already know. He's just more spiteful about it. There's also a lot that hr has been wrong about . But Bruz really fucked up and made this guy see more serious than he ever was, and is probably also behind the firebombing lol.
When he was alive and when we lived in NSW in Australia, my father used to work in a pretty high position in the government. When I heard him talk I was baffled with how much corruption and outright incompetence he had to deal with. He helped save a lot of money that was bleeding out (being utterly wasted), and in the end some of the politicians basically tore into each other to be the one to take credit for my father’s work… Only for NSW to “lose” as much as my father had helped save (half a fucking billion dollars) because a deal didn’t “workout” when in reality it was most likely stolen and/or used as fucking payouts in this Nepotism hellhole that is Australian politics and business. Lived there for many years and FUCK is it corrupt!!!
As a proud Australian, that attitude of making jokes even when his life was in danger is the most Aussie thing I've ever seen. What a legend. Thank you Charlie for giving this man more of a voice
It's because corporate news serves those with the intent to corrupt politicians. If your news has ads, you think they'll talk smack about a company that does dodgy shit and pays them? Channel 7 isn't going to talk shit about how the Oil and Gas lobby are destroying the environment, because, fun fact, 7 West Media's owned by a oil and gas billionaire. Don't even get me started on Murdoch's investments in BlackRock and the Coal, Oil and Gas sectors, oh, and how much of a general suck-cock he is to other billionaires, like Elon "Mr. Impartial" Musk himself.
Our politicians are so corrupt. Jordy is honestly an Australian hero. I'm glad its getting international attention because the Australian government has flown under the radar for too long
There's just this thing about buckets of money that make people want to do shit that's against the interests of the people they serve. Anti-corruption commissions (with teeth) are the best way to restore integrity to politics. We just established one federally for Australia.
All Politicians are corrupt. This shit happens in every country down to the local level. The type of power we've given them attracts people who will abuse it.
"Future apologies to those who find my corpse, it's gonna be messy, I'm not going down without a fight." OMEGA CHAD. The look in his eyes. He meant that.
Since he is a roo his fight will probably end because he has no gun and a hitman will have one. Aus government is going to get him killed through negligence unless he has God’s own luck.
I used to have teacher in high school grade 11. He was a very chill, cool teacher who made the day better. He was very open about his personal life. One day we asked him about his wife and he said she was a journalist. Fast forward a couple months and we saw him take a very nervous phone call then sprinting out of the door. We heard later that his wife was attacked.
If I had to choose between being stuck in an elevator for 8 hours with a Brony or a mainstream journalist, I’m probably going home that day with an encyclopedic knowledge of Rainbow Dash lore.
What disgusted me about how the mainstream media covered the Barilaro saga was that they focused on the "racism" allegations thrown from Barilaro but not the corruption allegations from Jordies. Really opened my eyes to how complicit "real journalists" are to corruption.
Like I said in another comment; a lot of the media in Australia is either owned by the Murdoch family, or tends to be biased towards the Liberal/National Party. And for Non-Australians, Liberal Party of Australia is essentially their version of the Conservative/GOP Party.
Just to put an update here; Jordies has recently taken down the Coronation video because his sources lives were being threatened. Dude kept it up through constant threats and multiple firebombings and has only taken it down now that the people he exposed were able to openly intimidate witnesses without any threat of arrest. Friendlyjordies is out there fighting the good fight and the Australian authorities apparently couldnt give less of a shit
This exact thing happened I believe in 2018 in Slovakia. A journalist and his girlfriend were executed because he tried to uncover government corruption, no politican was ever held accountable for the two murders. Jan Kuciak & Martina Kušnírová, may they rest in peace.
Thanks for the information, I did not know. Glad at least there the attention of both the people and the justice system (and other politicians) where on the case to address it properly. Though considering the targets of his articles, which would be the most likely "top of the chain" who would have interest in having him dead, got away with resigning... that does sting.
"So I was sleeping somewhere else that night. With the firebombers mums." Lmao, it's amazing how he can keep such a serious situation still easy to digest and crack a few smiles.
I like how friendlyjordie just basically implies "If I wind up dead, these are the suspects to look for" and tells the world that so it can't get supressed by his shitty government. The real chad.
We all know and we all don't care He will be killed and we will move on Just like we do everytime this happens, people will be upset for a week maybe go to a lil protest or donate to WikiLeaks to make ourselves feel better and then we get right back to it.
never should have firebombed him, now the sunk cost effect takes hold and he can no longer justify stepping down at all and will chase them to the end of the earth
"This cameraman is fending off this overgrown baby with ease!" Hearing someone outside of Australia call him like he is was GLORIOUS! You're a bloody legend Charlie.
The most disturbing thing about the media coverage is that they made SURE to include the address so anyone could find Jordan’s house. EDIT: They mentioned in both articles and reports that he lived "in this Bondi home on Wilga Street", and the footage showed the street number clearly for anyone to put the pieces together. I think we can all agree, that's willfully malicious.
@@MultiChrisjb cant the owner sue too cause he was a innocent third party? We all know it was a big Corp or go or both so question is not if they have the money but who to sue
@19:15 the camera man turned his flash up to blind the other guy, and then kept it focused on his face while retaliating. This man has photography fighting techniques, he was destined to win this battle
There's no doubt it was intended to kill him. It happened around midnight so they were hoping he was asleep and wouldn't notice until it was too late. Yet somehow he manages to keep a sense of humor about it and is more determined than ever to expose these corrupt assholes.... The guy is a frickin legend.
It's incredible how this story is getting more recognition thanks to Charlie. Friendlyjordies is out here risking his life, making enemies, getting his house firebombed, and yet he's still pushing forward. The sheer courage and dedication he has to exposing corruption is beyond admirable. It's wild that counterterrorism went after his friend but ignored the fire. As an Aussie, it’s both terrifying and heartwarming to see someone stand up so fiercely for what's right, even when everyone else won't. Thank you, Charlie, for bringing more attention to this legend.
I'm 22 and Australian. I've been subscribed to FJ since ~2013 and his comedy videos were a huge source of joy for my friends and I while we were in high school. As we got older and wiser, of course, we stayed for the journalism. Without him, I don't think most of us in our 20s could even begin to understand what goes on in our country's politics, as it's unfortunately kind of the norm here to be raised to not give a shit and just let people do their jobs, vote who your parents vote for, etc. We owe a lot to him and his team for the work they have been doing. It's difficult, it's confronting and it's dangerous. I'm so glad everyone is physically okay after the firebombing, but I knew it was getting bad when Kristo was thrown down and arrested. These politicians are absolute buffoons, which makes the power they wield all the more terrifying. They're convinced that they're totally untouchable. I truly wish Jordies and his team all the best and hope they find the protection and justice they deserve so they can keep fighting the good fight. God knows how much we need them.
I love your generation :) as an aussie you are the reason I know we are going to actually be able to turn things around. I haven't had hope for the future for 20 odd years till your generation came along.
As an Turk living in austalia, I can confidently say that this guy really needs to get proper protection, I wish him all the best honestly because in australia we hardly have any Journalists reporting anything and its really sad, once again wishing him all the best, please stay safe
@@sigstenbockgard8080 To give a little context on the situation? The word "living" indicates he was born somewhere else(Turkey) and at some point moved to Australia. When you have another thing to compare with it adds emphasis. It's not very related but it does add to the point being made.
The "gambling company" you refer to isn't a company. It's the thing that literally monitors gambling in NSW, so it's worse than just a company. It sets the rules and regulations, then regularly ignores or breaks them.
Clubs NSW is the company Charlie is referring to, and they definitely aren't involved (y'know, legally) in legislation. They're a private organisation that serves to lobby for the interests of its member clubs, not a legislative/regulatory body.
I mean if you look at Boy Boy you can see they _kinda_ sit on the same side of things in terms of what they stand for, politically speaking. They both have a hatred for dodgy cunts.
I was introduced to friendlyjordies after seeing the video about the firebombing. I appreciate the work he's done. He's exposed real corrupt people. Corruption is a monster politicians breed. And sooner or later, it consumes them. People like Barilaro will eventually learn this lesson. And it rarely ends well.
It can happen to anyone though. Anyone who feels narcissistic and self righteous enough about their world views can become a corrupt toxic idiot with enough bullies to help back them up. Charlie literally made a video about a Hotel RUclips Drama a week or two ago showing exactly that type of behavior.
For literally everyone though. Just hoping this is a result of an older generation wanting to hold on to power. Where the majority of us especially the younger, have grown up exposed to all this due to social media want things to change. I’m low key doubtful because money talks.
I’m so fucking done, it’s time all of its citizens stand up to protect these journalist, journalist have been attacked, terrorized, silenced, brutalized for decades while we all just stand by and watch them risk their lives to get the truth to people. We have to change the narrative and give recognition to journalist for what they truly are, heroes.
Its probably not a government hit, jordie is a labor man and labor is currently in power with no small help from him I imagine they would of uncovered something if it was in house I still place my bet on the bikeys hes going after the main way to clean there cash, jordie is the loudest in the crew that went after the gambling lobby and has the biggest list of enemies good “example”
@@ArkStClair at the time i believe the libs were still in power, and even if thats not the case what makes you think that the libs wouldn't try and kill him for essentially costing them the election
EDIT: He's at 1m subs now everyone, great work everyone, you guys are great! The support from this community is amazing. Since this video was released just yesterday, friendlyjordies subscriber count has went up from 750k to 810k and still climbing, by far the largest increase of subscribers he's had since he released that video. He absolutely deserves it for all of the incredibly dangerous yet important work he's doing.
Hell yeah he's at 860k now, and just released another video exposing more corruption. Two videos in under a week when he's just returned from his house being firebombed. Mad respect for the man
as an aussie who has followed jordie for many years, I'm so glad you're using your platform for these important topics that doesn't usually get seen outside australia
American here and before this, I had no idea you guys in Australia have to deal with such BS. Right now, we're dealing with some free speech issues - a lot of smooth brains in the US don't even understand how our first Amendment rights work and seem to think a private citizen calling them a dumbass for spewing dumb shit out of their ass is a violation of their right to free speech. A lot of them need to watch Jordies videos to truly understand what being attacked for free speech really means. But, that being said, at least we can (usually) speak out about whatever and not get thugs sic'd on us or our house firebombed... Independent and unbiased journalism has become distressingly rare and exceedingly dangerous. People in power can't stand online scrutiny, in particular, because they just can't control it as effectively (yet) as older media. Videos go viral fast and it's impossible to head off scandal when it's reached that point. The Internet is a treasure trove of information that's been carelessly tossed out there without the slightest inkling that yes, people can and will dig that sh*t up. Never underestimate someone with a stable Internet connection and no fear of speaking the truth. I love Jordies videos and I subscribed immediately.
I love that Jordies getting firebombed was probably meant to silence him, but it’s only given him more reach. I’m so proud to be a jordies patreon member
Ofcourse it was meant to silence him and make it look like"oh one of his enemies got angry and burned down his house but we have no suspects,how sad" It is pretty scary knowing he is hunted
Jordys a great journalist and one of the best of this generation. Very proud and also very worried for Jordan. He needs to go into protection or move countries asap.
This reminds me of a situation that happened a couple of years ago in my home country - Slovakia. Ján Kuciak and his fiance Martina Kušnírová were murdered by a hitman. He was a journalist and has found out that the biggest politicians and the police force were not only corrupt but also involved in human trafficking. This are just the biggest things, but he found out a bunch of things. Although Ján and Martina didn't get justice, I hope that the same thing won't happen in Australia.
Can you talk a bit more about what happened with this particular incident? Did any of Jan's friends or colleague carry on with his work or shed light on this matter?
So what happened to the corrupt agents? Now that people know about their deeds, did they rise up and overthrow them? Or did they sit there and continue to get walked on?
Still blows my mind that all of this is being covered on channels like this. Always thought us Australians just do our own thing and only get in worldwide new when we are on fire. Cheers Charlie for bring light to this.
For those not in Australia the best way to defend him is to make sure his story get out to every corner, and for those in Australia make some noise and make it impossible for Australian authorities to ignore this. Pressure every official.
NSW policing doesn't care. These are folks that were actively attacking people at train stations a year ago because the police commissioner wanted to flush out anyone that protested against him.
As an Aussie and Jordies viewer for 6+ years, thank you Charlie. This shit is so important and the media will do anything to snuff it out, as they usually do with real journalists. The corruption runs to the core of this country and Jordies and his team are doing some absolutely amazing work uncovering it.
@@ZerglingLover I mean someone basically attempted to murder him with an incendiary device potentially paid off by some salty official, in my opinion you cant commit a crime by defending your home from crimes being committed by criminals
The sad part is if anyone tried anything like this in the United states, they'd most likely end up deceased before they got any real traction. The officials would say that the cause was self inflicted as well. Even if there's no physical way the person could have offed themselves.
bruh setting neighbors house on fire and then after realizing its the wrong house, setting the correct house on fire again is straight out of a comedy movie. Can’t believe this is real
Tbh I would've thought that after the first firebomb, the person who did that would've at least tried to lay low for some time since there'd probably be some investigative eyes on that neighborhood now, but I guess not. Some people are ruthless, man.
In 7 hours since this upload, you have given him 1.2 millions reasons to stay in Australia. Well done for sticking up for good. Its an amazing trait you have.
The best part about this, is suddenly guys like Scomo, Potato head and all the other germs are gunna realise they can't escape criticism. They can try and regulate social media in Australia, but they can't stop other countries from saying shit about them. Our politicians think they can control everything and hide their corrupt bullshit, they're fucking dinosaurs living in a fake reality
Jordies is truly the embodiment of Australia. A man out of fucks to give, in a world where nearly everything is trying to kill you all the while trying to make light of how bad he’s got it at this point.
Im not gonna lie, trying to tell people how bad things are in Australia is like shouting into the void. So someone like jordies is a true champion of the people.
If you have a following on RUclips you have more reach than someone shouting on a corner somewhere. FJ has used this for years and gained more traction as a result and we need more people like him and his team in this world 100%. I think more and more people around the world are fed up with the corruption in their countries BUT a lot of those people still believe in their government to do right by them, hopefully one day they realise and wake up that that isn't the case.
As another Aussie in your comment section, thank you for covering this Charlie! Haven’t seen any mainstream media in nsw reporting this at all since the firebombing and you bringing international attention to this gem of a man means more than you know
I’m a little late to the party but Jordie’s humor are a very good sort of deflection of all the horrible shit going on. Sometimes you gotta laugh cause if you don’t, you’ll lose it. I really applaud this guy and his inevitable sacrifice for the greater good.
On behalf of all Australians, we desperately need this man to be protected. He is on the foreground of the biggest issues imaginable, and we quite simply don't have the sort of coverage through any other means.
I agree. He covers the nsw stuff so well but even when he talks about the real issue of gentrification in Australia through shady government and developer deals. Ruins land with tiny small homes for insane prices and drives locals out. This is happening everywhere and creating short term - long term homelessness. Jordy covers all of this and he seems to be the only one getting beneath the layers unlike other journalists hot takes about the rental crisis or mortgage payments.
I mean you would hope so. But look at how Australia treated Pete Garrett when he finally got in a position to make meaningful change. Murdoch owns Australia and there's no space for anyone who Murdoch doesnt approve of.
I seriously pray for this dudes safety. It’s crazy that we live in a world now where people that are trying to talk about corruption and bring light to ongoing problems in our world and people can’t even do that without having to worry for their life. Honestly just sad.
Update on his situation: Turned out the groups connected to the fire bombing are too powerful and have their corruption hands too deep in the government and Federal Police. The Feds are too scared to go in and do anything about them for fear of having their own and their families killed or attacked in the same way. As such, because of continuing pressure and death threats from these people Jordies has had to take down the offending video. Thankfully, you can never fully delete a video from the Internet so other randoms are reuploading it anyway.
As both an Australian and a Friendly Jordies viewer, I thank you for covering this again. Friendly jordies has been pivotal in improving the integrity within our government but doesn't get as large of a following due to the niche that is Australian politics.
Very true Friendly Jordies should get a lot more views, however his personality is extremely polarizing. Good luck getting anyone 40+ in Aus to enjoy his content haha.
@@IronicalChronical yes though I doubt a units garage in Cranbourne is a good hiding spot but I wouldn't turn him down, be much much better then the crackheads i had to get rid of, sme people are beyond help all i will eloborate on that
Damn, he sounds like a pretty cool guy. We definitely need more people like him, not just in australia but pretty much everywhere. A shame that most of them have a tendency to die early due to unforseen accidents or mysterious circumstances.
Eventually this guy's gonna shoot himself in the back of his head twice while drowning himself in his pool that he doesn't own and hanging himself in his closet, it'll be sad when it happens.
Thanks for reporting on this. He is a great guy and needs all the support we can give him. I actually heard about you as he mentioned a thank you to you on his channel. And yes he filmed a video in the air BNB. Please don't forget the elderly dog they kicked in the arrest thankfully she is ok now. If anything happens to Jordy most of Australia and I think a few overseas people would be very vocal.
I’m from Australia and I’ve known about Jordies for a while, and I’ve known that what he is doing is very important. As a large amount of the other comments from fellow Australians state; he needs to be protected at all costs as there aren’t enough journalists that are legit. I’m so glad that Charlie is helping bring more attention to this matter as maybe it can help shed some light on how corrupt the Australian government really is, and maybe something might be done about it. I may just be a stupid 16 year old that knows way too much about this, but part of me also wants a better future for the country and when I leave school. But otherwise I’m not massive on politics so don’t quote me on that lmao
It’s so great to see you supporting Jordan and spreading the word via your huge platform Charlie. He’s doing incredible work to expose powerful corruption in Australia, and deserves all the support he can get
You can see how absolutely 100% serious he is when he's saying I'm not going down without a fight. His voice was light and jovial, but his face shows he means it.
Please remember that Americans, like Australians, are also in "former" British colonies and current Five Eyes surveillance nations. We are in this boat together.
Thank you for giving a platform to this! As an Australian myself I have been so thankful for FriendlyJordies exposing the corruption in the various levels of politics in our Country and in this case clubs New South Wales. If we can't have people speaking the truth and exposing corruption then we are in a dark place in society.
As the Australian Moist Cr1TiKaL variant in the Moistverse, I can confirm without a doubt that Australia has very deep-rooted problems in it's Government. I love FriendlyJordies, and it is horrible to see this sort of treatment happen to him. Regardless of his own opinions and beliefs, as for anyone, nobody deserves to have their house burnt to a crisp because they make content that you don't like. Shame on the people responsible.
It's not just that the criminals dislike his content, it's that exposing their shameful reputations will cost them MONEY. When rich people try to murder poor people, it is always, always, about keeping the money and power they have amassed.
There was a time when we had real journalists like him who would put their lives on the line to shed light on the corrupt politicians, corrupt cops, the mobsters, etc.
Glad you're following Jordan's story. Not enough people here in Australia know about him. Thanks for your support in raising awareness of his situation and the work he does. 🙂
Jordies is in a very dangerous spot and I'd totally understand if he chose to back down, but I'm extremely grateful he is choosing to continue his fight. When powerful people attempt to silence journalists through force and intimidation, it is most important for everyday people to stand together and support those among us who fight to uncover their corruption. Edit for grammar
What a wonderful meaningful message. I sure hope no one points out the 7 and 8th to last letters in your comment. In all seriousness though i wish the guy the best of luck. What a chad.
This is scary. Something similar happened in Las Vegas last year. The state's top newspaper had published a series of articles about an elected official, on how he tormented the employees and played favorites. The series was thoroughly researched by one of the newspaper's most well-established and respected writers. The elected official went over to the reporter's house one morning, disguised as a gardener, and stabbed him to death. He's sitting in jail right now, using delay tactics to drive up the taxpayer cost of an open and shut case. Sad times.
That’s just not true though lol. Not that you they do it…but people say false things all the time that at the very least makes everyone talk about punching them right in their mouth.
@@Apple80089 I don’t get the 300ft distance reference. Do you mean threatening to shoot someone? I left the level of violence “punch in the mouth.” to keep it PG. I figure everyone can extrapolate from there. I’m not advocating violence, or saying Jordy had it coming…to be clear.
As an Australian I am so glad to have stumbled onto his content. It is incredibly eye opening and my thoughts on everyone in politics has been changed for the better. Thank you to Jordy and your team👏🏻
I’m sure you knew this when you posted, but you just made him a whole lot safer. People not from Australia now know his situation and if he were to go missing now they would have to awnsers to not only Australian viewers but not everyone who watches you to. Well done Charlie
I do not know if I have the words to describe how much you talking about this issue means to us in Australia. Jordy has been doing so much dangerous work against corruption here, literally risking his life to shed light on so many things. Thankyou 🙌
Something similar happened in Slovakia in 2018. A journalist investigating corruption in the government days before him releasing an article got assasinated with his girlfriend in this house.
Thanks for following up on this Charlie, your words at the start are too kind!

I love how everyone sees Australia as an god of a country, but its far from it. As I write this, I was racially made fun of roughly 3 hours ago by a Teen and His group of friends, I don't know if it gets better when I'm an adult but for now its something I've got to deal with. The only thing I really am nervious about the racism is when it get phisical, unfortunatly, I have gotten into a fight against two 14 year olds who were recording me and made my brothers (twins and 7 year old) really uncomfortable, after I told them to piss off they got really agressive and pushed one of them to the ground, which is when I pushed them back and kicked them in the foot (which I may have done a tad bit to hard as one had tears in his eyes as the other was holding his broken phone after I pushed him). After that me and my brothers jolted off. Not really a corruption story but one I wanted to share about the common "Australia is so Inclusive" Myth, I have though multiple times to call the police but am worried about how they would treat me... In conclusion, Australia is Really corrupt, Racism is real and sucks ass

They are the "Fixated Persons Investigations Unit".

Jordan is a gift to the people of Australia for doing the dirty work that nobody else wants to do. He is doing a service for the regular people of the land down under.
They also disarmed their citizens for this exact purpose.

The issue is that a lot of the media in Australia (exception being the publicly owned ABC) is owned by the Murdochs, which, let's not mince words here, are very biased towards right-wing causes, and the deputy premier mentioned is a member of the right-wing National Party of Australia.

As an American, my only knowledge of this man was Isaac Butterfield's commentary on him quite a while back. I remember at the time thinking, "So a comedian is being raked over the coals by politicians for being offensive; sounds about right for the absolute state of the world." Isaac clearly didn't do this man justice in his presentation, though; I had no idea the work he was doing was so important - and direly serious.
This whole narrative also reminds me of a man named Gary Webb; if you don't know who that is, look him up - but be warned that any news articles you can find about him were intentionally as discrediting as possible.
I say "were" because Mr. Webb was found dead with two bullet wounds to the back of his head almost 20 years ago, which was officially ruled to be a "suicide."
I work 12 hour shifts everyday for the rich man .. now i make money by eating food & getting high on my RUclips channel

When he was alive and when we lived in NSW in Australia, my father used to work in a pretty high position in the government.
When I heard him talk I was baffled with how much corruption and outright incompetence he had to deal with.

I'm 22 and Australian. I've been subscribed to FJ since ~2013 and his comedy videos were a huge source of joy for my friends and I while we were in high school. As we got older and wiser, of course, we stayed for the journalism. Without him, I don't think most of us in our 20s could even begin to understand what goes on in our country's politics, as it's unfortunately kind of the norm here to be raised to not give a shit and just let people do their jobs, vote who your parents vote for, etc. We owe a lot to him and his team for the work they have been doing. It's difficult, it's confronting and it's dangerous. I'm so glad everyone is physically okay after the firebombing, but I knew it was getting bad when Kristo was thrown down and arrested. These politicians are absolute buffoons, which makes the power they wield all the more terrifying. They're convinced that they're totally untouchable.

Independent and unbiased journalism has become distressingly rare and exceedingly dangerous. People in power can't stand online scrutiny, in particular, because they just can't control it as effectively (yet) as older media.

How much before social media censor it by calling it "fascist right wing conspiracy theory"
Quite beautiful can this clown world get 🤡
As an Aussie and Jordies viewer for 6+ years, thank you Charlie. This shit is so important and the media will do anything to snuff it out, as they usually do with real journalists. The corruption runs to the core of this country and Jordies and his team are doing some absolutely amazing work uncovering it.
I'm actually terrified for this guy, I hope he finds peace or if he's gonna continue this kind of content he should find a secure place

nah it's okay, the youtuber called I did a thing actually made him a new home security system
@@brndto not the time, this guy’s in legitimate life-threatening danger. besides, IDAT’s home defense system is illegal lmao
@@ZerglingLover I mean someone basically attempted to murder him with an incendiary device potentially paid off by some salty official, in my opinion you cant commit a crime by defending your home from crimes being committed by criminals
The sad part is if anyone tried anything like this in the United states, they'd most likely end up deceased before they got any real traction. The officials would say that the cause was self inflicted as well. Even if there's no physical way the person could have offed themselves.
wdym? perfectly normal for people to commit suicide by 2 shots to the back of the head, definitely was their action

The best part about this, is suddenly guys like Scomo, Potato head and all the other germs are gunna realise they can't escape criticism.

Jordies is truly the embodiment of Australia. A man out of fucks to give, in a world where nearly everything is trying to kill you all the while trying to make light of how bad he’s got it at this point.
Nice pathfinder picture

As an Australian who's watched all of these reports by Jordan over the years thank you Charlie for bringing attention to jordies.
Im not gonna lie, trying to tell people how bad things are in Australia is like shouting into the void. So someone like jordies is a true champion of the people.
i honestly didnt realise how much of a clown show it was. not saying where I live its any better (the UK)

@@BigSlava from what I've seen Australia is going further and further into authoritarianism and it's really scary
If you have a following on RUclips you have more reach than someone shouting on a corner somewhere. FJ has used this for years and gained more traction as a result and we need more people like him and his team in this world 100%. I think more and more people around the world are fed up with the corruption in their countries BUT a lot of those people still believe in their government to do right by them, hopefully one day they realise and wake up that that isn't the case.
I love how it all starts with a misheard persona 5 lyric, whilst joker is emoting 1:00
The worst part is they aren’t even trying to hide the blatant corruption.
Why hide when every square inch of the land is covered in the same rotting dark shadow?
That's the best part, actually. It makes it even more hilarious.
As a brazilian, who has no interest whatsoever about australian politics, i have more respect for him than for some of my relatives.
Walter White is Brazilian? This changes everything.
Tbh than most of my relatives.

What heinous acts did you relatives do
Understandable, your family should've been more supportive of your skills as a chemist
As another Aussie in your comment section, thank you for covering this Charlie! Haven’t seen any mainstream media in nsw reporting this at all since the firebombing and you bringing international attention to this gem of a man means more than you know
Lol yeah and they only reported on the fire bombing so they could dox his address on TV
I’m a little late to the party but Jordie’s humor are a very good sort of deflection of all the horrible shit going on. Sometimes you gotta laugh cause if you don’t, you’ll lose it. I really applaud this guy and his inevitable sacrifice for the greater good.
On behalf of all Australians, we desperately need this man to be protected. He is on the foreground of the biggest issues imaginable, and we quite simply don't have the sort of coverage through any other means.
I am worse than Charlie! My content is ass! Best regards a bot
Sheesh, this comment got copied by a bot and it has almost as many likes as your original comment.
I agree. He covers the nsw stuff so well but even when he talks about the real issue of gentrification in Australia through shady government and developer deals. Ruins land with tiny small homes for insane prices and drives locals out. This is happening everywhere and creating short term - long term homelessness. Jordy covers all of this and he seems to be the only one getting beneath the layers unlike other journalists hot takes about the rental crisis or mortgage payments.
Jordan is a hero who doesn’t wear a cape. He’ll be appreciated for all his efforts within due time.
Jesus christ lmfao
I mean you would hope so. But look at how Australia treated Pete Garrett when he finally got in a position to make meaningful change. Murdoch owns Australia and there's no space for anyone who Murdoch doesnt approve of.

I seriously pray for this dudes safety. It’s crazy that we live in a world now where people that are trying to talk about corruption and bring light to ongoing problems in our world and people can’t even do that without having to worry for their life. Honestly just sad.
havent we always lived in a world like that?

@@fidgc6774 Thats what I thought. This is how the world has always operated.
PRAYERS DO NOTHING!
@@TobyFloof thanks for sharing what you believe. We believe something different. If there was more we could do, we would.
Update on his situation:
Turned out the groups connected to the fire bombing are too powerful and have their corruption hands too deep in the government and Federal Police. The Feds are too scared to go in and do anything about them for fear of having their own and their families killed or attacked in the same way.
As such, because of continuing pressure and death threats from these people Jordies has had to take down the offending video.
Thankfully, you can never fully delete a video from the Internet so other randoms are reuploading it anyway.
That man has ball of steel. My fiance is an Australian and he's always telling me how awful the government over there is. This is just terrible.
As both an Australian and a Friendly Jordies viewer, I thank you for covering this again. Friendly jordies has been pivotal in improving the integrity within our government but doesn't get as large of a following due to the niche that is Australian politics.
@ElliotAslamyeah
3 subs compared to 12.2M
Very true Friendly Jordies should get a lot more views, however his personality is extremely polarizing. Good luck getting anyone 40+ in Aus to enjoy his content haha.
Would you offer to hide him if he needed it?
@@RattusNorvegicuz I mean he seems to have good rapport with the politicians he interviews
@@IronicalChronical yes though I doubt a units garage in Cranbourne is a good hiding spot but I wouldn't turn him down, be much much better then the crackheads i had to get rid of, sme people are beyond help all i will eloborate on that
Damn, he sounds like a pretty cool guy. We definitely need more people like him, not just in australia but pretty much everywhere. A shame that most of them have a tendency to die early due to unforseen accidents or mysterious circumstances.
hhmmmm
Eventually this guy's gonna shoot himself in the back of his head twice while drowning himself in his pool that he doesn't own and hanging himself in his closet, it'll be sad when it happens.

@@nintendoboy3605 “unforeseen accidents” and “mysterious circumstances”
Thanks for reporting on this. He is a great guy and needs all the support we can give him. I actually heard about you as he mentioned a thank you to you on his channel. And yes he filmed a video in the air BNB. Please don't forget the elderly dog they kicked in the arrest thankfully she is ok now. If anything happens to Jordy most of Australia and I think a few overseas people would be very vocal.
I’m from Australia and I’ve known about Jordies for a while, and I’ve known that what he is doing is very important. As a large amount of the other comments from fellow Australians state; he needs to be protected at all costs as there aren’t enough journalists that are legit. I’m so glad that Charlie is helping bring more attention to this matter as maybe it can help shed some light on how corrupt the Australian government really is, and maybe something might be done about it.
I may just be a stupid 16 year old that knows way too much about this, but part of me also wants a better future for the country and when I leave school.
But otherwise I’m not massive on politics so don’t quote me on that lmao
Bet it was one of those birds who set fire to his house, or a spider...definetly a spider.
That’s it the government controls what we see on TV not the people.

As an australian from WA, hearing a voice like Charlie's talk about our Country's insane politcians is something from a weird dream.
Bro one of the German twitch streamers I watch was talking about this too this shit going viral, also hi fellow Westerner
This is his second time covering it, he also covered the news reports on fire bombs when it happened
A WA party in the comments to celebrate Jordie? I'm in 🙌
You can see how absolutely 100% serious he is when he's saying I'm not going down without a fight. His voice was light and jovial, but his face shows he means it.

As the Australian Moist Cr1TiKaL variant in the Moistverse, I can confirm without a doubt that Australia has very deep-rooted problems in it's Government. I love FriendlyJordies, and it is horrible to see this sort of treatment happen to him. Regardless of his own opinions and beliefs, as for anyone, nobody deserves to have their house burnt to a crisp because they make content that you don't like. Shame on the people responsible.
It's not just that the criminals dislike his content, it's that exposing their shameful reputations will cost them MONEY. When rich people try to murder poor people, it is always, always, about keeping the money and power they have amassed.
There ain't enough citizens taking the law into their own hands. That's why Australia is as f'd up as it is.

Glad you're following Jordan's story. Not enough people here in Australia know about him. Thanks for your support in raising awareness of his situation and the work he does. 🙂
Jordies is in a very dangerous spot and I'd totally understand if he chose to back down, but I'm extremely grateful he is choosing to continue his fight. When powerful people attempt to silence journalists through force and intimidation, it is most important for everyday people to stand together and support those among us who fight to uncover their corruption.
Edit for grammar
What a wonderful meaningful message. I sure hope no one points out the 7 and 8th to last letters in your comment. In all seriousness though i wish the guy the best of luck. What a chad.

i completely agree.. among us 😞
Get out of my head get out of my head
As an Australian, I really appreciate you putting this on your platform...
I just learned of him. I watched his video and immediately subscribed. Wow. Good luck
This is scary. Something similar happened in Las Vegas last year. The state's top newspaper had published a series of articles about an elected official, on how he tormented the employees and played favorites. The series was thoroughly researched by one of the newspaper's most well-established and respected writers. The elected official went over to the reporter's house one morning, disguised as a gardener, and stabbed him to death. He's sitting in jail right now, using delay tactics to drive up the taxpayer cost of an open and shut case. Sad times.
Hopefully Justice will be done, in this life or not.
Poor guy, hope he stays safe
