HE might be called Australia’s version of Joe Rogan, for the massive impact he has made in social media, but Sam Bamford is not known for interviewing celebrities of famous politicians.
Bamford, an Afghanistan military veteran, has struck a chord with every-day Australians with his hard hitting political messages that appear on platforms like Instagram or Facebook – concise and well-researched – but very blunt – messages that blow apart the all-to-common political spin.
Bamford is not scared to take on the immigration issue, which he correctly attributes to the efforts of bureaucrats and political parties to address the underlying problem of ballooning government debt, and justified by the mantras of “multiculturalism” and “diversity”.
One example of Bamford’s “very blunt” approach is screening a video of clueless immigrant being dressed down for taking a poo on the side of a suburban road – the sort of thing media, even many social media channels, would not dare touch. It is a wonder that this particular clip is still up on Facebook.
This is the sort of media that upsets the Canberra and state capital politbureaux and already Bamford has been subjected to organised intimidation from certain political operatives – possibly including Labor Party “heavies” – who sat outside a gym all day observing him and his wife’s regular visits, photographed them and followed them home.
He has run full security threats to his home, removed his wife’s social media accounts and ended visits to public gymnasiums, but points out he has a network of close friends around him in the military and police who understand the situation.
We suspect Bamford’s massive social media following is also one reason for the Albanese government’s ban on under-16 social media. Several years ago his Instagram following ballooned from 10,000 to 250,000. Instagram has been immensely popular with a teen to young adult audience.
With freedom of information requests now made doubly difficult and expensive, Bamford now wonders if Australia’s government has gone “full authoritarian”. Ironically, those men running the country are what Bamford describes as “weak beta males”.
Bamford was interviewed by Queensland YouTuber Brodie Buchal.
