Envoy surprised by climate of scepticism

SMH

JONATHAN PEARLMAN NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT
November 14, 2009

BRITAIN'S new high commissioner,

has expressed surprise that Australians are still debating whether humans cause climate change and says other nations have long since ''moved on''.

In her first public comments since arriving in Canberra three weeks ago, Baroness Amos, a former leader of the House of Lords, said Australia was well-positioned to lead the international community on climate change but the public debate should move beyond scepticism and negativity to finding solutions.

Her comments come days after a senior Liberal, Nick Minchin, said he and most of his party colleagues believed man-made climate change was a myth.

''I have been surprised that the science itself is being questioned,'' she said. ''These are things where there have been debates over a long period of time in other countries and where we have reached conclusions and moved on.

''In the UK, there is a degree of political consensus about what in broad terms needs to be done. There is a lot of debate about how we do it. You would certainly not see on a daily basis … the kind of negative reporting that you have here.''

British envoys tend to be among the most influential of the foreign diplomats in Canberra and usually have a direct line to senior political and business leaders. When she first met Kevin Rudd, on her third day in the country, Baroness Amos presented the Prime Minister with a world map showing the potentially horrific global consequences of rising temperatures, including the risk of more dangerous bushfires.

''Australia as a country has seen the impact of some of this, in terms of drought and what is happening with annual fires,'' she said.

''I was a bit surprised at the negativity of some of the debate … It would be great for Australia to be out there and leading the way. Being a resource-rich country does not mean that, in putting in place measures that lead to clean-coal technology and lower emissions, economically you need to fall behind.''

Baroness Amos, who was born in Guyana in South America, said relations between Britain and Australia were evolving and should focus on future common goals - such as promoting human rights or dealing with cultural diversity - rather than dwelling on their shared past.

''We did go through a period where we took the relationship for granted. We just assumed we had strong historical ties and a very strong legacy and it would just go on and on.

''We should look at what we can do together as nations, particularly how we can take the partnership between our young people from being about travel and working holidays to … looking forward in the world.''

Baroness Amos said a decision on whether to become a republic was ''definitely an issue for Australia'' and would not affect relations with Britain.

The baroness, who first visited Australia for a Commonwealth leaders' meeting in 2002, is a keen cricket, tennis and soccer fan but is still ''getting the hang'' of Australian rules. ''It's a sport-mad nation. It seems to have got the balance right between working hard and enjoying life.''

Baroness Amos, who was a political appointment rather than a career diplomat, was posted for a year but said she hoped to stay on if the Labour Government loses next year's election.

Dear Baroness Amos, GO HOME NOW or STFUP, you like the majority of your socialist ideologues have nothing to contribute to Australia,as a matter of fact you sound STUPID and ignorant in the extreme to say the least.

The European Parliaments “England” would be a far more suitable environment for you and your cabal of like thinkers to wank in.

May I ask just how many times you and your personally selected pampered Socialist “pooches” have FARTED since you arrived in Australia, just how much C0 2 you have expelled and how much tax you have paid to Kevin 07,Penny Wong and Peter Garrett for engaging in such anti environmentally sensitive activities?

How about you just shut the Fuck UP and pretend you are ascending the ladder of evolution, collect your pay packet and chill out, and when your contract expires just fuck off back to Guyana  and share the wealth that you have been able to extract from the social and political system you claim you are so determined to destroy, before you are deported,in chains back to whence from where you came, our jails are full, we don’t need any more snake oil sales “persons”

Nicolas Sarkozy pushes for burqa ban in France

Telegraph
12 Nov 2009

President Nicolas Sarkozy has reiterated his belief that the burqa, the head-to-toe veil worn by some Muslim women, has no place in secular France.

"France is a country where there is no place for the burqa, where there is no place for the subservience of women," he said in a speech on French national identity.

France, home to Europe's biggest Muslim minority, has set up a special panel of 32 lawmakers to consider whether a law should be enacted to bar Muslim women from wearing the full veil.
The country has had a long-running debate on how far it is willing to go to accommodate Islam without undermining the tradition of separating church and state, enshrined in a flagship 1905 law.

In 2004, it passed a law banning headscarves or any other "conspicuous" religious symbols in state schools to defend secularism.

Mr Sarkozy in June said the burqa was not a symbol of religious faith but a sign of women's "subservience" and declared that the full veil was "not welcome" in France.

He was speaking on Thursday in the Alpine town of La Chapelle en Vercors in his first intervention in a country-wide debate begun last month on what it means to be French.

Public meetings are due to take place in some 450 government offices around the country, involving campaigners, students, parents and teachers, unions, business leaders and French and European lawmakers.

The debate will end with a conference early next year on the twin questions of "what it means to be French today" and "what immigration contributes to our national identity."

The Socialist opposition has accused the government of pandering to anti-immigrant sentiment to shore up support on the Right ahead of regional elections in March.

It has said the debate risks alienating France's large immigrant communities.

But Mr Sarkozy on Thursday defended the "noble debate" and said: "Those who do not want this debate are afraid of it."

Is France, the “western” European nation,most infected with the scourge of Islam, declaring enough is enough ? or is this it’s death rattle?

Either way, well done Sarkozy and God Bless.

Muslim kids bullied my son over salami sandwich during Ramadan, family claims

By Bruce McDougall
The Daily Telegraph
November 13, 2009 6:42AM

A SYDNEY couple has withdrawn their two children from a public primary school, claiming their 11-year-old son was bullied by Muslim students because he ate a salami sandwich during Ramadan.

Andrew Grigoriou said yesterday he complained to the school and to police after his son Antonios was chased and later assaulted by Muslim students after a confrontation over the contents of his lunch.

Antonios, a Year 5 student of Greek-Australian background at Punchbowl Public School in Sydney's southwest, said he and a friend had to be locked inside the library for an hour after being chased by a group of Muslim boys offended by his choice of food while they were fasting.

The Grigoriou family said the following exchange took place:

Muslim student to Antonios: "Why are you eating ham, it's Ramadan?"

Antonios: "My mum packed this for lunch today."

Muslim student: "Don't eat that. How can you eat pig, it's disgusting."

During the confrontation a Muslim boy allegedly accused Antonios of saying: "F. . . the Muslims" but Antonios denied swearing.

Mr Grigoriou said he removed his son and a younger child from the school on Tuesday after the boy was punched in the eye and kicked in the legs by a Muslim student.

"It has broken my heart to see this happening to my boy," he said. Antonios, who wrote about his experiences in words and drawings, still has nightmares.

The Department of Education and Training said it had a zero tolerance policy towards racism.

"Claims of bullying or racial intolerance are taken very seriously and looked into," a spokeswoman said. "The School Education Director is looking into the matter and called the father concerned.

"As a result . . . the school will work with all families and students involved to ensure that the values promoted by Punchbowl Public School and the department are understood and supported."

After the salami sandwich incident a student described as "the ringleader of the group" was suspended from the school. The department said that the school had "ongoing cultural and interfaith awareness programs to improve understanding among students of events like Ramadan and Christmas".

Other parents also complained to The Daily Telegraph about bullying at the school and claimed victims received too little protection.

One said her 12-year-old son was scared to open his lunch box at school because he was harassed about what is in it. "He has been bullied from day one . . . about being a Christian and about the hot salami in his lunch," she said.

"My boy has a Greek background . . . the bullying is extreme.

"He has been called a fat pig and hit on the back with a stick."

Another mother said her young son refused to go on school excursions for fear he would be bashed.

These apprentice Assassin’s, Rapist’s, Drug dealers, Car re birthers and common criminals are simply doing what they do because they CAN, they enabled and facilitated by the same socialist arse clowns who are reported above :"As a result . . . the school will work with all families and students involved to ensure that the values promoted by Punchbowl Public School and the department are understood and supported." talk about the arsonist’s arriving at the fire dressed as Firemen.

Australia’s SAS should be recalled from Afghanistan immediately and let lose in South Western Sydney aka. Sydney’s Occupied Territories.

capture + disarmament + internment + repatriation = a return to Labor’s pre Muslim / Multiculturalist’s chaos in Australia.

Hasan the Muslim … the Ft. Hood mass murderer

 

Fox News talking heads are asking how……..

Hasan was able to do what he did.

Why would he and his co religionists in the US Military,NOT feel free to engage in their Religions Satanic manifesto ?, when the commander in chief of the worlds most powerful military force on earth, dictates that Non Muslim Americans,follow his example and bow, roll over, SUBMITT to Islam,rather than reject it,in fact the “Community Organizer in Chief” demands non Muslims Americans RESPECT Islam and what it’s followers have given the world in the name of this thing they, Islamist’s call “allah”. 

Hussein Obowma has made it clear by his words and actions as to what “Religion”, “Ideology” “Medievil Cult” he expects Americans to obey and follow.

Americans VOTED for “Change they can believe in” …… now I believe that you can get a FREE koran from CAIR upon request, until you get your copy of same, just remember SATAN Good,God Bad and you too might avoid getting shot to death by one of the President of the United States of America’s ideologues that he DEMANDS that YOU RESPECT….. spsssss I know, I know don’t ask why, just respect it you might live a lot longer if you do……

Or do ya wanna Fight? for not only YOUR life but for that of your Wife,Children,Parents,Brothers, Sisters and Loved ones.

Internment of Muslims, and their facilitators / apologists in the West, combined with Repatriation to an Islamic (cesspool) of their choice is the ONLY answer to the continuation of Judeo /Christian Democracies.

Hussein Obowma’s friends can believe in anything he, and they want to, so long as they are unable, and are prevented from  killing “Americans” (Judeo Christian Western Democracies citizens) who do not.

Hussein Obama IS what Hussein Obama DOES

Whilst the Wives,Husbands,Mothers and Fathers,Brothers and Sisters and Children of the victims, of the latest Islamic Terrorist attack upon civilization,wrestle with their indescribable pain and suffering, make plans to bury their loved ones all the MSM and the Islamic Terrorist apologists on the left can do is rush to be the first with the best excuse for this piece of SHITS murderous behaviour.

Hussein Obama has previously decreed that there is no war on terror nor are there any Islamic Terrorists.

 Islam IS what Islam DOES

Call this horror by its name: Islamist terror

By RALPH PETERS
NYPost
November 7, 2009

On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting, "Allahu akbar!" ("God is great!") committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.

What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Fort Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of nondenominational shoplifting.

This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it's an act of terror.

Period.

When the terrorist posts anti-American hate speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as "Palestinian" in a Muslim spouse-matching program and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit -- well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an "Islamist terrorist."

But the president won't. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there's no such thing as "Islamist terrorism" in ObamaWorld.

And the Army won't. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America haters is safer than calling terrorism "terrorism."

And the media won't. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops -- despite their crocodile tears.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan planned this terrorist attack and executed it in cold blood. The resulting massacre was the first tragedy. The second was that he wasn't killed on the spot.

Hasan survived. Now the rest of us will have to foot his massive medical bills. Activist lawyers will get involved, claiming "harassment" drove him temporarily insane. There'll be no end of trial delays. At best, taxpayer dollars will fund his prison lifestyle for decades to come, since our politically correct Army leadership wouldn't dare pursue or carry out the death penalty.

Maj. Hasan will be a hero to Islamist terrorists abroad and their sympathizers here. While US Muslim organizations decry his acts publicly, Hasan will be praised privately. And he'll have the last laugh.

But Hasan isn't the sole guilty party. The US Army's unforgivable political correctness is also to blame for the casualties at Fort Hood.

Given the myriad warning signs, it's appalling that no action was taken against a man apparently known to praise suicide bombers and openly damn US policy. But no officer in his

chain of command, either at Walter Reed Army Medical Center or at Fort Hood, had the guts to take meaningful action against a dysfunctional soldier and an incompetent doctor.

Had Hasan been a Lutheran or a Methodist, he would've been gone with the simoom. But officers fear charges of discrimination when faced with misconduct among protected minorities.

Now 12 soldiers and a security guard lie dead. At least 38 people were wounded, 28 of them seriously. If heads don't roll in this maggot's chain of command, the Army will have shamed itself beyond moral redemption.

There's another important issue, too. How could the Army allow an obviously incompetent and dysfunctional psychiatrist to treat our troubled soldiers returning from war? An Islamist wacko is counseled for arguing with veterans who've been assigned to his care? And he's not removed

from duty? What planet does the Army live on?

For the first time since I joined the Army in 1976, I'm ashamed of its dereliction of duty. The chain of command protected a budding terrorist who was waving one red flag after another.

Because it was safer for careers than doing something about him.

Get ready for the apologias. We've already heard from the terrorist's family that "he's a good American." In their world, maybe he is.

But when do we, the American public, knock off the PC nonsense?

A disgruntled Muslim soldier murdered his officers way back in 2003, in Kuwait, on the eve of

Operation Iraqi Freedom. Recently? An American mullah shoots it out with the feds in Detroit.

A Muslim fanatic attacks an Arkansas recruiting station. A Muslim media owner, after playing the peace card, beheads his wife. A Muslim father runs over his daughter because she's becoming too Westernized.

Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we're assured that "Islam's a religion of peace."

I guarantee you that the Obama administration's nonresponse to the Fort Hood attack will mock the memory of our dead.

Ralph Peters' latest novel is "The War After Armageddon."

Australia’s Rupert Murdoch gives Comrade Kevin 07 a reality check “Rudd delusional”

 

Rupert Murdoch speaks out on recovery and opportunity missed

By Terry McCrann
The Daily Telegraph
November 07, 2009

A YEAR ago I spoke to Rupert Murdoch at the very darkest point of the global financial meltdown. What a difference a year makes. Then, the News Corporation chairman and chief executive was gobsmacked at the wealth destruction. Now he apologises for being "bearish" - I'd call it instead cautious and realistic.

He's not taking the US recovery for granted; he recognises only too well the deep structural problems America faces and has added to over the past year; he has some fundamental question marks over President (Barack) Obama and, even more, the US Congress.

While he emphasises the fundamental entrepreneurial strengths of America, and the driving spirit of the people, he thinks all the negative factors will ensure a very, very slow recovery in the world's biggest economy.

"I think the danger of a double dip (back into recession) is unlikely; and there's a case that can be made that it has turned the corner and will recover strongly," he said.

But the Fed has poured money into the banking system - the $US700 billion bailout was wrong in principle, in practice a necessity - and the banks were sitting tight on credit. Cutting it back even to their best customers. Officially the jobless rate was 10 per cent, in reality it was probably more than 15 per cent. There was as yet no sign of a jobs pick-up and the key driver of recovery - capital formation by small business - was not happening, he added.

A critical issue was political leadership.

OBAMA OF THE three choices for President in last year's election, did the US get the right one, I ask? He pauses, then says: "No. I think Hillary (Clinton) would have been a lot tougher.

"I wouldn't have liked everything she did. (John) McCain (the Republican candidate who stood against Obama) would have had policies more to my approval.

"Albeit he would also have been unpredictable," he adds.

Obama has very, very enormous charm and a great way with words. But there's his total inexperience of the real world, the commercial world. And the same goes for the whole White House, Murdoch says.

Further he doesn't listen. And like Rudd he wants to micro-manage everything.

He faces huge geo-political challenges. Take Afghanistan: he doesn't know what he should do. I do, Murdoch adds with emphasis. He should send the extra troops.

The core problem was indecisive leadership. Last month he came out with a speech on education, with which I agreed 100 per cent. And then he concluded with: "I look to Congress to send me a bill. They'll never send him a bill!" Murdoch thunders.

The question still to be answered is whether he was an ideologue.

How many times had you been to the Obama White House, I asked?

Never, he responds. Followed by "I only went once when Bush was there."

RUDD HE'S very intelligent, he's very interesting, Murdoch starts. But then moves quickly to "but he's kidding himself with the G20", the grouping of the top 20 countries which includes Australia and which Rudd has been pushing to replace the G8 - of only the top eight countries which does not include Australia - as the main global negotiating forum.

Obama had no interest in the G20. He even wanted to cut the G8 to the G4 and really to a G2 - just the US and China - to agree to all the big decisions.

Rudd was kidding himself that we could use the G20 to lead the world. Or that we could strike out alone with a cap- and-trade system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions - our ETS or Emissions Trading Scheme.

That we'd lead and the rest would follow. All it would do would be to push up the cost of living in Australia, and the rest of the world would laugh at us.

His efforts to "lead the world" were delusional. But was it hurting Australia? Not yet, Murdoch asks and answers his own question.

THE NATIONAL BROADBAND NETWORK THE Government had to decide whether the national broadband network should be built as a great national asset. To go to every school, to every hospital, to every business, to every home, Murdoch says striking his hand for emphasis at each destination.

But then it had to decide whether to hold it as a public utility or whether to sell it to private enterprise.

If the latter, it could only happen if the Government was prepared to write off half the cost openly upfront.

To spend $40 billion to build it; to be prepared to sell it for $20 billion, so that the investors buying it could have a chance of a return.

In all this would Telstra be the major shareholder in such an NBN? Its biggest shareholder, the Future Fund, would not want it to go there unless it could see an acceptable return.

MURDOCH AND THE MEDIA COULD he be tempted back into free-to-air television in Australia?

He pauses before responding with a yes. But then immediately adds "If I had my choice of buying Telstra out of Foxtel or FTA, I would take the former".

So the future is Foxtel rather than FTA, I respond?

"Absolutely," he comes back, and then immediately details the continual, slow but inexorable drop in the network audience in the US. And he digresses into musing about the future of NBC - one of the major networks, put up for sale by its parent GE.

"In its present condition , it's unsaleable," he says.

And while we couldn't buy a second network, we would be interested in NBC's Universal movie studio. We'd be allowed to own two studios, he says.

Interestingly while he would like to buy Telstra out of its 50 per cent stake in Foxtel, he has no interest in the 25 per cent owned by James Packer's CMH group.

Asked to comment on Packer, he says he has no comment. Then adds, he had made his bed with his decision to became a major global player in gaming. But he'd kept the two media assets - the 25 per cent of Foxtel and the half share of Fox Sports (NewsCorp has the other 50 per cent).

"I'd certainly be interested in Fox Sports, but not another 25 per cent of Foxtel. There'd be no point unless you were going to get the whole thing."

THE LOST CHANCE ASKED about the challenges and opportunities in media going forward, Murdoch comes up with a surprising nomination: the great opportunity missed. The Food Network.

No, it wasn't a simple "MasterChef moment", but a textbook example of building hugely profitable media business, which in classic Murdoch style, he thinks he should have done.

It takes years for a new station/network to get on the cable channels in the US, Murdoch says with the knowledge of exactly his own struggles over two decades. New channels generally ask for 15-20c per customer per month.

"The Food Network went in at 2c and achieved total distribution." That delivered all the food advertisers. With very cheap programming, it's now a $US350 million revenue business that throws off an incredible $US250 million profit! It's a business that's gone from nothing to a value of at least $US3 billion. And all that's still only charging the 2c! Murdoch adds with emphatic undisguised admiration. But they are about to renegotiate that.

Al Sumud warns Australian’s to submit to Muslim Asia or else

 

Join Muslim Asia or perish: Taliban

Abraham Rabinovich
The Australian
November 06, 2009 1:54AM

AN official Taliban publication warns Australia that it will have to assimilate into a dominant Asia or face the prospect of being overpowered and forced to take population overspill from Asia.

The choice is spelled out in the latest issue of the online Taliban monthly magazine, Al Sumud (Steadfastness), whose lead article offers a sweeping view of a post-war order in which a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan becomes a moral pivot for a pan-Asian renaissance that will coincide with the decline of Western power.

Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud (left) seen here in a tender moment holding hands with his Boy / Girlfriend Wali-ur Rehman (right)

"The end of European leadership in the world will place the white settler diaspora in Australia before two choices," writes the author, Mustafa Hamid, a former senior al-Qa'ida member who in 2001 married Australian Rabiah Hutchinson, a Sydney mother with links to Islamic extremists.

"It can either return to its motherland in Europe or reconcile with its Asian surroundings and assimilate into it as a wealthy and active member."

Otherwise, he warns, a lengthy conflict will ensue in which Australia will be overpowered "by Asian waves that are better armed and more numerous".

"There is no doubt that the huge growth in the population of Asia, together with its economic and military development, will make Australia into lebensraum -- to use the European term," writes Mr Hamid. Lebensraum, meaning living space, was a term used by Nazi Germany as a motivation for territorial conquest.

Asia, Mr Hamid writes, is facing a population explosion "while Australia is nearly empty of people, apart from scattered groups of white residents".

Residents of "the Israeli outpost" at the other end of Asia are likewise warned to return to their countries of origin or face an "unequal conflict".

These warnings, however, are marginal to the central vision offered in the article -- the emergence of a vibrant pan-Asian identity in which Islam, and the Taliban in particular, constitutes a powerful moral and cultural force but not an exclusive one. Its emphasis on pan-Asian political identity rather than pan-Islamic sets it apart from al-Qa'ida ideology. The Taliban article does not call for jihad, although it hints at the possibility of "peaceful Islamic expansion" and the linchpin role in the "Asian Age", as the author terms it, is ceded to non-Islamic China.

Western power is fading fast, he writes, "to the benefit of Asian giants, and first and foremost among them the colossal economic and human power of China".

Even Russia, whose invasion of Afghanistan 30 years ago would prove a milestone in the emergence of militant Islam, is depicted as an ally arraigned with Asia against the "arrogance" of the West.

"Today, Russia is taking a defensive position against the Western advance which aims to break (Russia) up into statelets and to cross it on the way to China to break it up as well. Russia desires a coalition with China, with India, with Iran if possible, and even more so with Afghanistan, and even more so with the Taliban movement (which) is a serious, realistic and victorious leadership in that vital country (Afghanistan)."

In the article, ": A vision of Afghanistan's role in the coming international order", Mr Hamid depicts a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan having a fundamental leadership role in the new Asian order -- "not in the field of finance, industry and interest-bearing banks" but as a moral force.

"This was demonstrated by the ability of Islam to inspire a small, poor people to resist and defeat five military campaigns of the largest armies on earth."

This article was obtained as an exclusive from the Middle East Media Research Institute’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor Project (www.memrijttm.org ) which monitors and translates the 100 most important Islamist sites and blogs around the clock.

Sharia By Stealth, Daniel Pipes.

Islamists impose sharia by stealth

Daniel Pipes
The Australian
November 05, 2009 9:51PM

TO borrow a computer term, if Ayatollah Khomeini and Osama bin Laden represent Islamism 1.0, the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the French intellectual, Tariq Ramadan, represent Islamism 2.0. The former are more deadly but the latter will likely do greater long-term damage.

The 1.0 version presents a potentially mortal danger to those unfortunate enough to get in its way. From totalitarian rule to mega-terrorism, Islamism's original tactics present a potential for unlimited brutality. Three thousand dead in one attack? Bin Laden's search for atomic weaponry suggests the murderous toll could be a hundred or even a thousand times larger.

But Islamist violence, a review of the past six decades suggests, proves generally unsuccessful in attaining the goal of a society fully regulated by the sharia (Islamic law), much less does it help establish a global caliphate.

Survivors of mass murder tend not to capitulate to radical Islam. Victims did not raise the white flag after the assassination of Anwar Sadat in Egypt in 1981, the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bali bombings of 2002, the Madrid bombings of 2004, the Amman bombing of 2005, or the latest bombings in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Extrapolating from these and other failures suggests terrorism does damage and causes human suffering but rarely changes the existing order. Imagine the devastation done by Hurricane Katrina or the tsunami of 2004 had been caused by Islamists: what could they have lastingly achieved?

Non-terrorist attempts from the outside to apply the sharia are hardly easier to accomplish. Revolution (meaning, a wide-scale social revolt) took Islamists to power in just one place at one time: Iran in 1978-79. Coup d'etat (a military overthrow) also carried them to power in just one place at one time: Sudan in 1989. Same for civil war: Afghanistan in 1996.

If Islamism 1.0's violence rarely overthrows governments, Islamism 2.0's working through the system serves significantly better. Islamists, adept at winning public opinion, have enjoyed electoral success in various Muslim-majority countries, including Algeria in 1992, Bangladesh in 2001, Turkey in 2002 and Iraq in 2005. In many other countries, such as Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon and Kuwait, Islamist political parties represent the main opposition force.

(What one might call Islamism 1.5 also works, that being a combination of hard and soft means, of the external and internal approaches. In it, Islamists soften up the enemy with lawful means and then use violence to seize power. The Hamas takeover of Gaza offers one case of such a combination, first winning the elections in 2006, then staging a violent insurrection against Fatah in 2007, and similar processes may be under way in Pakistan.)

At least one leading Islamist thinker with close ties to al-Qa'ida has publicly repudiated terrorism and adopted political means. Sayyid Imam al-Sharif (also known by the nom de guerre Dr Fadl) was born in Egypt in 1950 and trained as a medical doctor. He emerged as a leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad group in the 1980s and came to public attention with the 1988 publication of his book, Al-'Umda fi I'dad al-'Udda (The Essentials of Preparation), in which he argued for perpetual violent jihad against the West.

With time, however, Sharif shifted gears: observing that violent attacks are counterproductive he instead advocated a strategy of infiltrating the state and influencing society.

In a recent book, At-Ta'riya li-Kitab at-Tabri'a (Exposing the Exoneration), he condemned the use of force against Muslims ("Every drop of blood that was shed or is being shed in Afghanistan and Iraq is the responsibility of bin Laden and Zawahiri and their followers") and against non-Muslims (9/11 was immoral and counterproductive, for "what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy's buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours?").

Sharif's evolution from al-Qa'ida theorist to advocate of lawful transformation echoes a broader shift as Islamists notice that while bin Laden, for all his notoriety, cowers in a cave, Erdogan remakes the Republic of Turkey.

In conclusion, fascists never developed a 2.0 version, nor did communists; only Islamists have done so. Because it threatens our values and our civilisation, this evolution represents perhaps an aspect of their movement no less frightening than their brutality.

Australia’s Shame,Scott Zirus.

 

Aussie 'predator' admits assaulting two boys at US camp: prosecutor

SMH

November 3, 2009

Accused Australian child predator Scott Zirus has confessed in video-taped interviews to sexually assaulting two boys at a camp in Texas, US authorities confirmed.

The Texas district attorney prosecuting the case, Amos Barton, said he was hellbent on ensuring the 25-year-old West Australian camp counsellor was punished with the maximum sentence - life in a Texan jail.

"We will be firing with both barrels at this defendant," Barton told AAP.

"I don't want him to ever be able to victimise another kid."

Zirus, from Pinjarra, south of Perth, appeared in the District Court in Kerr County Texas on Monday local time for arraignment.

Zirus is accused of assaulting three boys while working at the Camp Stewart for Boys in Hunt, Texas, as part of an international exchange program.

Family members of the alleged victims were in court for the arraignment.

"They want justice," Barton said.

Zirus is charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, indecency with a child and continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14.

He entered not guilty pleas to all charges during the court appearance, did not seek bail and a trial was set for March 9.

Since Zirus' arrest in August three other potential victims at the camp have contacted Texan authorities, but charges have not yet been laid.

"We are aware of the possibility of more victims, but no charges have been filed yet and investigations are continuing," Barton said.

US authorities believe Zirus, who had links with Australian scout groups and is believed to have run his own camp for children in Australia, likely assaulted boys in Australia.

A computer confiscated by US authorities revealed evidence pointing to Australian assaults, Kerr County Sheriff Rusty Hierholzer, who has labelled Zirus a "predator", said.

West Australian police have opened an investigation and asked the public to come forward with any information.

Barton said Zirus admitted in the video-taped confessions to assaulting two of his alleged victims.

"As to two of the victims, we have a full confession," the prosecutor said.

"He has confessed to aggravated sexual assault of a child and sexual assault of a child by contact."

Zirus was arrested at San Antonio international airport on August 20 as he was about to fly back to Australia.

He has remained in jail since his arrest and Barton said he would fight to keep Zirus behind bars if he applied to have his $US100,000 ($110,500) bail lowered in an attempt to gain release from jail before his trial.

Barton said Zirus was a flight risk and a danger to children.

"I would oppose any reductions because of his ability to travel and for him being such a danger," Barton said.

"We have so many victims."

Obama’s “Religion of Peace” Demands Two Million Dollars for the life of Catholic Priest

Video shows kidnapped priest in Philippines

News.com.au

October 31, 2009

KIDNAPPERS holding an elderly Irish Catholic priest hostage in the southern Philippines have released a video of their captive in which he says two million dollars must be paid for his release.

The video, a copy of which was seen by a local journalist in Pagadian city on Saturday, showed 79-year-old Father Michael Sinnott holding a copy of the October 22 issue of a Manila newspaper.

”My kidnappers are led by commander Abu Jayad. They are asking two million US dollars as ransom money,” the priest said while standing in front of what appeared to be a bed sheet or table cloth in a forested area.

”We are living in the open, in difficult circumstances. I am still in good health even if I do not have the full medicines.”

It was the first time any proof had been made public that Sinnott, who needs medication for a

heart condition, was alive since gunmen seized him from his mission office in Pagadian on Mindanao island on October 11.

Father Patrick O'Donoghue, the Philippine head of the Missionary Society of Saint Columban, who saw photographs taken from the video, confirmed that it was Sinnott and expressed relief that he was looking relatively healthy.

However he stressed that no money would be paid to secure Sinnott's freedom.

”The Columban fathers do not pay ransom and we never have and I don't think we ever would,” O'Donoghue said.

He said Sinnott would not want a ransom to be paid.

”I could see him wanting that money to be used in ways rather than ransom. That two million should rather be used for education, for the care of people with disabilities,” he said.

O'Donoghue said he had no previous knowledge of the video and that he immediately relayed the news to a government commission that is in charge of recovering Sinnott.

The pictures from the video showed an unshaven Sinnott smiling slightly, while someone else's hand from outside the frame helped in holding up the newspaper. Regional military chief Major

General Benjamin Dolorfino said he was not aware of the video.

”I know nothing about the video. We have not seen the video,” he said.

There have been conflicting reports about who is holding Sinnott, with the military initially saying he was kidnapped by a Muslim pirate active in the area.

However Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro has also said he believes Sinnott is being held by rogue elements of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a separatist Muslim rebel group engaged in peace talks with the government.

The MILF has repeatedly denied any involvement. MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu said he did not know of any Abu Jayad, and had not been aware of the video before it was released to the media.

”We don't know anything about a video that came out as proof of life,” said MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu.

However he said the MILF leadership was aware of Sinnott's general location and the likely identity of his kidnappers. But he said he would not reveal the details while the MILF pursued its own efforts to recover Sinnott.

The area of the southern Philippines where Sinnott is believed to be being held is a known stronghold of the MILF, while armed gangs and the Muslim Abu Sayyaf militant group are also known to operate in the often lawless region.

The Abu Sayyaf and other gangs have kidnapped priests and other foreigners in the region previously, then demanded ransoms for their release.

Sinnott has spent about 40 years in the Philippines, and is well-known in Pagadian for helping disabled children and other charity work.

How long before Catholic Priests and Rabbi’s or any other “non believer” start disappearing from the streets of Chicago, New York, and other American Streets,and an offer of buying their lives back is made by Hussein Obama’s new best friends, aka the “Religion of Peace” ?

How much money is 75% of the American population prepared to pay for the LIFE of THEIR Religious leader when the “Religion of Peace” makes a demand for payment for same?

1 in 4 people in world are Muslim

News.com.au
October 09, 2009 7:33AM

THE global Muslim population stands at 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly 1 in 4 people in the world practise Islam, a landmark study has claimed.

The Pew Forum report also revealed that Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon - or North and South America combined.

It claimed that about five per cent of Europe's population practises Islam - and that there are more Muslims living in Asia than in the Middle East.

Until now, experts have largely been guessing at the precise number of Muslims in the world, with estimates from one billion to 1.8 billion.

But the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life report, released today, finally pinpoints the number of those practising the world's second largest religion, behind Christianity.

The three-year-long project also provided some surprising statistics. For instance, Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon, China has more Muslims than Syria, Russia has more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined, and Ethiopia has nearly as many Muslims as Afghanistan.

'This whole idea that Muslims are Arabs and Arabs are Muslims is really just obliterated by this report,' said Amaney Jamal, an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University who reviewed an advance copy.

The report provides further evidence that while the heart of Islam might beat in the Middle

East, its greatest numbers lie in Asia: More than 60 per cent of the world's Muslims live in Asia.

About 20 per cent live in the Middle East and North Africa, 15 per cent live in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2.4 per cent are in Europe and 0.3 per cent are in the Americas.

While the Middle East and North Africa have fewer Muslims overall than Asia, the region easily claims the most Muslim-majority countries.

While those population trends are well established, the large numbers of Muslims who live as minorities in countries aren't as scrutinized.

The report identified about 317 million Muslims - or one-fifth of the world's Muslim population - living in countries where Islam is not the majority religion.

About three-quarters of Muslims living as minorities are concentrated in five countries: India (161 million), Ethiopia (28 million), China (22 million), Russia (16 million) and Tanzania (13 million).

In several of these countries - from India to Nigeria and China to France - divisions featuring a volatile mix of religion, class and politics have contributed to tension and bloodshed among groups.

The immense size of majority-Hindu India is underscored by the fact that it boasts the third-largest Muslim population of any nation - yet Muslims account for just 13 per cent of India's population.

'Most people think of the Muslim world being Muslims living mostly in Muslim-majority countries,' Grim said. 'But with India ... that sort of turns that on its head a bit.'

The report also revealed that:

Europe is home to about 38 million Muslims, or about five per cent of its population. Germany appears to have more than 4 million Muslims - almost as many as North and South America combined.

In France, where tensions have run high over an influx of Muslim immigrant laborers, the overall numbers were lower but a larger percentage of the population is Muslim.

Two-thirds of all Muslims live in 10 countries. Six are in Asia (Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran and Turkey), three are in North Africa (Egypt, Algeria and Morocco) and one is in sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria).

Indonesia, which has a tradition of a more tolerant Islam, has the world's largest Muslim population (203 million, or 13 per cent of the world's total). Religious extremists have been involved in several high-profile bombings there in recent years.

In China, the highest concentrations of Muslims were in western provinces. The country experienced its worst outbreak of ethnic violence in decades when rioting broke out this summer between minority Muslim Uighurs and majority Han Chinese.

Of roughly 4.6 million Muslims in the Americas, more than half live in the United States although they only make up 0.8 percent of the population there. About 700,000 people in Canada are Muslim, or about two percent of the total population.

Whilst these statistics are probably legit, I feel it would have been prudent for the authors to note the number of Islamic countries where it is not possible to deny been a Muslim,a believer in the Koran.

A believer in the syphilis induced ranting’s of the Paedophile Pirate and slave trader, Mohammed, the “Religion of Peace” is compulsory under threat of DEATH, according to the Islamic Terror Manual,the Koran,so the 25% claimed to follow the teachings of the said Paedophile, Mohammed are greatly embellished to say the least.

Like Communism (Socialism) Nazism,the victims of Islamism have no choice but to claim they are supporters of the Godless despots that rule their lives lest they are killed. 

Why do western Judeo Christian democratic leaders, Australia, America, Canada, England,  kneel to this demonic minority cabal of confused and befuddled of mind,misfits and criminals?

How Lebanese Muslims colonized Australia

 

Immigration Mistakes Return to Haunt Us

31st October 2006

The Sydney Institute

WHATEVER its rights or wrongs, unlawful migration to Australia over the past three decades has not had a deleterious outcome. Most unauthorised entrants who have attained visas have settled relatively well. This includes the Indochinese and Chinese intakes in the late 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, and the Afghans and Iraqis. When immigration has led to poor social outcomes, this has resulted from the decisions of government - of both political persuasions.

The Liberal leader Malcolm Fraser became prime minister in late 1975, around the time of the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war between left-leaning Muslims and right-leaning Maronite Christians. Initially Fraser and his immigration and ethnic affairs minister, Michael MacKellar, were approached by Maronite Australians to allow some Lebanese Christians, who had close relatives in Australia, to settle here.

Fraser agreed. However, it was not long before the process got out of hand. As it turned out, very few Christians wanted to, or were able to, come to Australia at the time. Department officials sent to Lebanon to administer the program began granting visas mainly to Muslims - often on the flimsiest evidence they had close relatives or, indeed, any relative in Australia.

The program soon became known as "the Lebanese concession". The concession involved was that the Lebanese concerned would be admitted to Australia under the refugee intake, despite the fact that strictly speaking, they were not refugees. They were not fleeing persecution but rather, the impact of a civil war.

In her book Muslims in Australia, the Perth academic Nahid Kabir writes that the Lebanese were sometimes referred to as "quasi-refugees".

For a long time, Christian Lebanese have been successful migrants. Their descendants include the NSW Governor, Dr Marie Bashir, and the Victorian Premier, Steve Bracks. The unintended consequence of the Fraser government's decision was to allow, for the first time, numerous Lebanese Muslims to enter Australia. They were from rural areas, had little education and minimal English language skills.

As Kabir documents, the numbers grew. There were about 3500 Lebanese Muslims in Australia in 1971. Just two decades later, the number had increased to more than 25,000. The number grew quickly, due primarily to Australia's then family reunion policy. Most Muslim Lebanese migrants settled in south-western Sydney. The Shia gathered around the Arncliffe mosque and the Sunnis at the Lakemba mosque.

At the time some Maronite leaders warned the Fraser government, at the highest levels, that the decision to allow large numbers of poorly educated Lebanese Muslims into Australia would have unexpected and unwanted policy outcomes. They were dismissed with the "you-would-say-that-wouldn't-you?" refrain, meaning the Lebanese Christians opposed the Muslims simply on account of religion.

This was inaccurate and unfair. The Turks were the first large group of Muslims to settle here, arriving in the late 1960s when a Coalition government was headed by John Gorton and William McMahon. Despite the usual initial difficulties, the Turks settled well and soon found employment. The problem with Lebanese Muslims was that they were ill equipped to enter the workforce. Also, a number were fundamentalist Islamists. In time, some Shias became supporters of Hezbollah while some Sunnis became admirers of Osama bin Laden. The fundamentalists gave other Muslims a bad name, many of whom have had no connection with Lebanon or the Middle East or, indeed, Islamism.

When I recently spoke to Fraser about this, he said he had no memory of the Lebanese concession but added it was the sort of policy he might have supported. There is no mention of the Lebanese concession in biographies of Fraser. Some Coalition ministers and backbenchers at the time have a clearer recall than Fraser.

In 1982, during the final years of the Fraser government, the Egyptian-born Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly entered Australia on a tourist visa. He overstayed his visa and soon became prominent at the Lakemba mosque. In 1988 he told a Sydney University meeting that "the Jews try to control the world through sex, then sexual perversion, then the promotion of espionage, treason and economic hoarding".

Al Hilaly's language has not changed much in 20 years. In the past week The Australian has quoted the sheik making outrageous claims about women and supporting jihad in Iraq and Afghanistan, where Australian troops are supporting the UN-sanctioned and Muslim-led governments in Baghdad and Kabul.

In The Adelaide Review in January 2003, Chris Hurford, the immigration minister from 1984 to 1987, said the decision to give al Hilaly permanent residence was done for political reasons: to appease some Australian Muslims. His view has not been challenged by al Hilaly's main Labor Party supporters at the time, including Paul Keating and Leo McLeay.

As Denis MacShane (the former British union official and Blair Government minister) said in London's Daily Telegraph last week, the 10,000 Muslims in his constituency "can only benefit from removing the dead hand of ideological Islamism - allowing their faith to be respected and their children to flourish".

The unfortunate fact is that in Australia and Britain, the best intentions of conservative and social democrat governments alike have resulted in bad policy.

The UN’s Copenhagen plot

Beware the UN’s Copenhagen plot

Janet Albrechtsen
The Australian
October 28, 2009

SHAME on us all: on us in the media and on our politicians. Despite thousands of news reports, interviews, analyses, critiques and commentaries from journalists, what has the inquiring, intellectually sceptical media told us about the potential details of a Copenhagen treaty? And despite countless speeches, addresses, interviews, doorstops, moralising sermons from government ministers, pleas from Canberra for an outcome at Copenhagen, opposition criticism of government policy, what have our elected representatives told us about the potential details of a Copenhagen treaty?

With just over 40 days until more than 15,000 officials, advisers, diplomats, activists and journalists from more than 190 countries attend the UN climate change conference in

Copenhagen, we know nothing. Nothing about a climate change treaty that the Rudd government is keen to sign and one that will bind this country for years to come.

Of course, there is no final treaty as yet. That is what they are hoping to finalise in Copenhagen. But there are 181 pages that make up the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change dated September 15, 2009: a rough draft of what could be signed in Copenhagen. And yet, not one member of the media or political class has bothered to inform us about its contents as an important clue to what may happen in Copenhagen. The shame of that state of affairs started to trickle in last week.

Emails started arriving telling me about a speech given by Christopher Monckton, a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, at Bethel University in St Paul, Minnesota, on October 14.

Monckton talked about something that no one has talked about in the lead-up to Copenhagen: the text of the draft Copenhagen treaty.

Even after Monckton’s speech, most of the media has duly ignored the substance of what he said. You don’t need me to find his St Paul address on YouTube. Interviewed on Monday morning by Alan Jones on Sydney radio station 2GB, Monckton warned that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty was to set up a transnational government on a scale the world has never before seen. Listening to the interview, my teenage daughters asked me whether this was true.

So I read the draft treaty. The word government appears on page 18. Monckton says: “This is the first time I’ve ever seen any transnational treaty referring to a new body to be set up under that treaty as a government. But it’s the powers that are going to be given to this entirely unelected government that are so frightening.”

Monckton became aware of the extraordinary powers to be vested in this new world government only when a friend of his found an obscure UN website and hacked his way through several layers of complications before coming across a document that isn’t even called the draft treaty. It’s called a “note by the secretariat”. The moment he saw it, he went public and said: “Look, this is an outrage ... they have kept the sheer scope of this treaty quiet.”

Monckton says the aim of this new government is to have power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations that sign the Copenhagen treaty.

In a sense, countries that sign international treaties always cede powers to a UN body responsible for implementing the treaty obligations. But the difference is that we usually understand the details of the obligations and the power ceded.

Now read the 181-page draft treaty. It is impossible to fully understand the convoluted UN verbiage. Yet even those incomprehensible clauses point to some nasty surprises that no politician has told us about. For example, Monckton says the drafters want this new world government to have control over once free markets: the financial and trading markets of nation-states. “The sheer ambition of this new world government is enormous right from the start; that’s even before it starts accreting powers to itself in the way that these entities inevitably always do,” he says.

The reason for that power grab is clear enough from the draft treaty. Clause after complicated clause sets out the requirement that developed countries such as Australia pay their “adaptation debt” to developing countries. Clause 33 on page 39 says that by 2020 the scale of financial flows to support adaptation in developing countries must be at least $US67 billion ($73bn), or in the range of $US70bn to $US140bn a year.

How developed countries will pay is far from clear. The draft text sets out various alternatives, including Option 7 on page 135, which provides for “a (global) levy of 2 per cent on international financial market (monetary) transactions to Annex I Parties”. This means industrialised countries such as Australia, if we sign.

Monckton’s warning to Americans that “in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your President will sign your freedom, your democracy and your prosperity away forever” is colourful. But no more colourful than the language used by those who preach about the perils of climate change and the virtues of a hard-hitting Copenhagen treaty.

Put aside Monckton’s comments. Ask yourself this: why has our government failed to explain the possible text of a treaty it wants Australia to sign? There has been no address from any

Rudd minister to explain the draft treaty. No 3000-word essay from the thoughtful PM. No speech in parliament. No interview. No press release. Nothing.

Presumably the hard-working Climate Change Minister Penny Wong has read the 181-page draft text. Presumably our central control and command PM has been briefed about the draft text. In Germany a few months ago, Kevin Rudd complained about the lack of “detailed programmatic specificity” going into the Copenhagen talks. Yet the draft text provides much detailed specificity about obligations on developed nations to transfer millions of dollars to developing countries under formulas to be set down by an unelected body. So why the silence? Are they hiding the details of this deal from us because most of the polls now suggest that action on climate change is becoming politically unpalatable?

And what explains the media’s failure to report and analyse the only source document that offers any idea of what may happen in Copenhagen? Ignorance? Laziness? Stubborn adherence to the orthodox government line that a deal in Copenhagen is critical? An obsession with the politics of climate change rather than policy?

At least we have heard from Monckton. He told Jones there had already been a million hits on the link to his St Paul address. “So the message in America is now out ... Now you know about it and you need to spread the word.”

Perhaps now our PM and our Climate Change Minister can spare a few moments to tell us about the details they know about but have so far chosen not to tell us about.

Uncontrolled Muslim influx a threat

Greg Sheridan, Foreign editor 
The Australian
October 29, 2009

A FEW weeks ago in London, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband told me that 75 per cent of the terrorist plots aimed at Britain originated in the federally administered tribal areas of Pakistan. Some 800,000 Pakistanis live in Britain.

The vast majority, it goes without saying, are law-abiding citizens. But there is a link between uncontrolled Muslim immigration and terrorism.

The real historic significance of the illegal immigration crisis in our northern waters is that this could, if things go wrong, be the moment Australia loses control of our immigration program, and that would be a disaster.

It is extremely difficult to talk honestly about Muslim immigration. All generalisations about it are subject to countless exceptions. Muslims are very different from each other. Most are reasonably successful.

But a much bigger minority end up with social, political, extremist or other problems resulting from a lack of integration than is the case with any other cohort of immigrants in Western societies. A lack of honest discussion about this results in bad policy.

The most enlightening book you could possibly read on this is by US

journalist Christopher Caldwell, Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West. It is by far the best book on public policy of any kind I have read for a long time. It is wittily written but attempts to be neither provocative nor politically correct. It is dense with data but its greatest strength lies in laying bare the intellectual, political and social dynamics that have led to the mess in Europe. The way the Australian debate is reprising what were profoundly destructive and misguided European debates, dominated by moral sanctimony and a failure to grasp reality, is eerie.

Caldwell is enlightening on the way asylum assessment processes are so easily scammed, and the sophisticated, intense exchange of information that means the slightest change in attitude by a receiving country is instantly relayed throughout illegal immigrant networks. He writes:

"An easily game-able system was in place that made admissions automatic to prospective immigrants who understood it. Various immigrant advocacy NGOs in Europe made sure they understood it... migrants knew the best countries to claim to come from. They also knew the best countries to go to ... (There was an) incredible sensitivity of prospective migrants to shifts in immigration law, and to countries' moods towards immigrants."

Caldwell also shows that once an illegal immigrant route is established as reliable it becomes immensely popular. This is what the struggle in the waters to Australia's north now is really all about. He further demonstrates how completely subjective and plastic the asylum-seeker assessment procedures are. In 2001 Denmark approved a majority of asylum applicants. By 2004, when the mood had changed, it approved only one in 10, though of course in Europe rejected applicants basically don't go home.

At times Caldwell seems to be arguing against immigration in principle, although all the problems he adduces relate specifically to Muslim immigration, and he acknowledges the success of other immigrants in Europe.

He frequently acknowledges the success of immigration in Canada, the US and Australia. In Canada and Australia, the governments choose the immigrants. In the US, most illegal immigrants come from Latin America and don't have the Muslim problems.

But in so far as he makes a general case against immigration, I strongly disagree with Caldwell.

What he is really concerned with is uncontrolled Muslim immigration. The facts he produces are very disturbing. No European majority ever wanted this to happen. There are 20million Muslims in western Europe and this number will double by 2025.

How did this mass immigration of people with few relevant job or language skills, and a culture deeply alien to Europe, come about? Caldwell argues that the post-World War II period saw a radical disjuncture in European attitudes. Europe had just been wrecked by an enemy, the Nazis, who were avowedly racist. The unimaginable disaster of the Holocaust haunted every discussion of morality or policy. Europe was in the throes of decolonisation and felt guilty about its relations with non-white people.

This made an ideology of anti-racism - which itself became extreme and distorted, detached from reality and in many cases downright intolerant - the more or less official state religion of Europe. This had little to do with really combating racism.

In one of history's countless ironies, Muslim immigrants benefited from the legacy of the Jewish Holocaust. The determination initially to extirpate anti-Semitism didn't help many European Jews because they were almost all gone, but it offered a template for Muslim immigrants to find and exploit an ethnic victim status. This set up profoundly destructive dynamics and, in another irony, reintroduced serious anti-Semitism to Europe, carried with the Muslim arrivals.

Caldwell suggests a welfare state makes a bad marriage with mass, unskilled immigration.

Welfare rather than opportunity becomes the attraction. More importantly, welfare becomes a lethal poverty trap.

At the same time, satellite television, the internet and mass immigration from a few countries means the old culture is always on hand for Muslim migrants. They don't need to integrate if they don't want to or find it difficult. In many cases Caldwell cites, the second-generation of Muslim immigrants is less integrated than the first, and the third less than the second.

The demographic figures he cites are familiar but still shocking. Native Europeans won't have babies at anything like replacement level while the fertility of Muslim immigrants does not decline through time, as is the case with other immigrants.

Religion is the strongest predictor of fertility in Europe.

By mid-century Islam will be the majority religion of Austrians under the age of 15. In Brussels, most births are to Muslims and have been since 2006. In France, one in 10 people are Muslims, but they are one in three of those entering their child-bearing years, and Muslims have three times as many children as other French.

Caldwell writes: "Europe finds itself in a contest with Islam for the allegiance of its newcomers.

For now, Islam is the stronger party in that contest ... when an insecure, malleable, relativistic culture meets a culture that is anchored, confident and strengthened by common doctrines, it is generally the former that changes to suit the latter."

Uncontrolled Muslim immigration is a change to Europe so great it makes all the treaties and bureaucratic falderol of the EU look footling and transitory by comparison.

Defective body armour risk to Diggers

EXCLUSIVE by Ian McPhedran
From: The Daily Telegraph
October 29, 2009

DEFENCE chiefs were told more than a year ago about serious safety concerns with combat body armour worn by Diggers in Afghanistan.

Federal Government documents obtained by The Daily Telegraph confirm troops were issued with armour with "known defects".

The documents also show that top brass knew in April this year that troops were forced to use split pins and nails to prevent quick release catches on the armour from failing.

The military ordered 14,688 sets of the suspect armour under a $24 million project and by May this year more than 8400 had been delivered.

Despite two years of field testing by the army, the body armour, known as the modular combat armour system (MCBAS), will now be replaced by a lightweight system called American Eagle that is worn by special forces troops.

The documents show serious failures in the original armour were identified in September 2008 and in February and April this year.

Amid concerns about the impact of weight and a dodgy quick-release mechanism, the armour put soldiers at risk as they attempted to drag the body of Corporal Mathew Hopkins to safety during an ambush in Afghanistan in March this year.

An official report said the armour "did contribute to the difficulty in recovering Cpl Hopkins from an exposed position and evacuating him" to a medical post. According to one document dated September 23, 2008, the armour's quick-release system had opened "without the wearer's intent" when "simulated" casualties were dragged by the shoulder straps by two personnel.

However, despite the numerous documented complaints, Defence Materiel Organisation official Brigadier Bill Horrocks told a Senate inquiry in June "the feedback we have . . . is that they are very happy with what we delivered to them; however, it is certainly heavy".

Another Defence document dated April 6, 2009 said that one inspection had found that 15 sets of the armour had failed.

"Some MCBAS issued to units and members has shoulder straps with single loop brown plastic buckle. These buckles are a known defect," the document said.

Another report dated February 17, 2009 said quick release could not be operated by a single hand pull if the armour was wet or submerged.

Troops in Afghanistan patrol through channels and streams.

So whats the big deal ? is there anyone out there who actually thought that Comrade Rudd and his Government would have ensured that the armaments Australian troops had access to would have given them some advantage over their pontential killers?

Ignoble Islam: Father stabs Daughter and unborn child to death to regain Honour.

 

Jordan girl killed for pregnancy outside marriage

News.com.au
Sun Oct 18  2009

A JORDANIAN man was charged today with premeditated murder after allegedly stabbing to death his 22-year-old daughter because she became pregnant outside wedlock, police said.

"The father and his brother took the girl on Saturday to a doctor because she suffered stomach pains, and everybody was surprised to learn that she was six months pregnant,'' a police spokesman said.

"On their way home, the father stabbed the girl with a sword 25 times in her stomach, killing her immediately as well as her unborn baby boy.''

The source said the suspect has confessed to the crime following the murder, which took place in the Jordan Valley.

"His brother was also charged with premeditated murder, while the victim's boyfriend is being held in custody for his own protection,'' he added.

Murder is punishable by the death penalty in Jordan but in such cases of the so-called "honour killings'' a court usually commutes or reduces sentences, particularly if the victim's family urges leniency.

In the past, parliament has refused to institute harsher penalties.

Around 15-20 women are murdered each year in Jordan in the name of honour, despite government efforts to fight such crimes. So far this year, 17 cases have been reported.

Staff deserting Kevin Rudd in droves

MORE than half of Kevin Rudd's staff have fled the PM's office since the election, taking with them at least 120 years of political experience.

The PM - dubbed Kevin 24/7 for his round-the-clock work ethic - has emerged as one of the country's most demanding employers, with insiders describing him as "manic". And with an election less than a year away, the PM has also lost most of his senior policy advisers, leaving an office insiders say is almost unrecognisable.

An investigation by The Daily Telegraph reveals that 23 of 39 staff have left Mr Rudd's office and there are whispers of more to follow.

Four senior staff - including Jack Lake, a 25-year parliamentary veteran - have announced their departures in recent weeks alone. One former staffer of the PM described Mr Rudd, who recently tore into Labor's factional chiefs with an expletive-laden rant, as "demanding and a bit all over the place". Another was more blunt: "He gives little in the way of constructive feedback and doesn't listen to anybody."

Seasoned political advisers say that John Howard, Paul Keating and Bob Hawke enjoyed strong staff loyalty and little turnover. Public sector recruitment specialist Kathy Kostyrko warned that Mr Rudd's office- management appeared a problem.

The Hayes Specialist Recruitment director said it was a "very high turnover" and "work environment and recruitment (methods)" needed to be looked at - views echoed by senior Labor figures. While the PM makes no apology for his unrelenting pace, they fear the staff changes will leave the Government vulnerable heading into an election year.

Senior staff who have left - including policy director Pradeep Philip, education adviser Michael Lye and health adviser Rod Glover - are being replaced by advisers with little experience in the political hurly burly.

But it's not just Mr Rudd's office recording an exodus of staff.

At least 13 staff have left Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard's employ, at least 10 have left Climate Change Minister Penny Wong's office and seven have left the offices of both Treasurer Wayne Swan and Sports Minister Kate Ellis.

However, a spokesman for Mr Rudd said: "Political staff work is both rewarding and demanding and working in the Prime Minister's Office is no exception."

But it's not just the Government that is having trouble holding on to valuable staff. Since February, 11 media advisers working for the 32 Federal Opposition frontbenchers have quit their high-pressure jobs.

And during the same period, a total of 13 media advisers who were working for the Government's 30 frontbenchers have also moved on.

“Kevin 07” was the prototype of the Hussein Obama UN, MSM creation/answer to Australia’s / America’s problems.

A media generated no body.

Australia’s “Dear Leader” is the creation of the socialist aligned MSM media, it is funny to say the least, reading how his supporters and apologists are now on the “shitty end of the stick” of their media generated and facilitated creation.

The King of the pre Hussein Obama, UN, bumper sticker ideology, is not such a nice guy after all? you mean you useful idiots did not get a free home and a car after all? gee fancy that, who da thought?

Fake cabbie 'may have assaulted 100 men'

By Andrea Hayward, AAP October 16, 2009,

A court heard a man posing as a cab driver lured drunk men into his car and sexually assaulted them.

A man posed as a taxi driver and lured as many as 100 drunk young men into his car before filming his sexual assaults on them, a court has been told.

Kok Foo Lim, 42, of the Perth suburb of Tuart Hill, was one of Western Australia's worst sexual offenders, prosecutors told the District Court in Perth on Friday.

Lim, who was found guilty of 15 counts of sexual penetration without consent, 11 counts of indecent assault and one count of unlawful wounding after a trial ending in August, is to be sentenced next month.

Before the trial, he had pleaded guilty to 16 charges of unlawful and indecent assault after it was revealed those attacks had been captured on video.

The court was told between March 2003 and August 2007, Lim posed as an off-duty taxi driver and offered at least 22 drunk young men lifts from popular Perth nightspots.

He would wait until the men passed out before filming them naked, fondling them and performing sex acts on them.

Most of the men would wake up outside their homes, dazed and with no recollection of giving Lim their address or being assaulted.

Some suggested they had been drugged but the claims could not be proved because of a lack of medical evidence.

Lim's crimes were only discovered in July 2007 after he repeatedly stabbed a man he had picked up, who had questioned whether he was a cab driver.

Police uncovered videotapes Lim had thrown into his neighbour's yard, a diary that chronicled the assaults and records of his victim's names and addresses.

Prosecutor Janelle Scutt said in sentencing submissions Lim was a "dangerous, prolific and persistent offender".

"Lim may well be WA's worst sexual offender with the number of victims and regularity," she said.

By Lim's admission there could be 100 victims during the offending period. More than 60 victims could not be contacted by police.

Many of the victims were unaware of the crimes committed against them until contacted by police and shown photos or videos of the offences.

Lim had dehumanised, humiliated and degraded his victims, Ms Scutt said.

He had only pleaded guilty to charges captured on film and it was difficult to detect any genuine remorse, except for the fact his tapes were discovered, which led to his downfall.

"Had he not made them, he would not have been detected," she said.

Lim's lawyer David McKenzie said his client's offending was not at the highest end of the scale because he was not in a position of trust with his victims and there was no violence.

He said Lim had been studying film and television at university and maintained the filming of the sex acts was consensual and was for artistic purposes.

"There's no doubt Mr Lim finds the male form beautiful," Mr McKenzie said.

Mr McKenzie said Lim claimed he was working on a script.

But Ms Scutt said the script was a fantasy, featuring a taxi driver confused about his sexuality searching for the meaning of life.

"The script is autobiographical and he is the taxi driver," she said.

Judge Troy Sweeney remanded Lim in custody until his sentencing on November 20.

 Muslim “Rock APE” Family and supporters, of 5 convicted Islamic Terrorists, doing what they do best, resorting to violence as their first and only option when they don’t get their way.

Verdicts 'may spark attacks'

16 October 2009

The brother of one of five Sydney men convicted of plotting a terror attack says the guilty verdicts will increase the threat of attacks in Australia.

A jury has today found the men guilty of conspiring to commit an act or acts in preparation for a terrorist act.

During a 10 month trial the NSW Supreme Court was told the devout Muslims plotted with each other and at least four other men between July 2004 and November 2005 to carry out a violent jihadist act.

Outside court following the guilty verdicts the angry brother has warned the men's imprisonment will increase the threat of terror attacks in Australia.

His sister agrees the Muslim community will react to the news of the guilty verdicts but says she doesn't believe it will lead to increased terrorism in Australia.

The brother of one of five Sydney men convicted of plotting a terror attack says the guilty verdicts will increase the threat of attacks in Australia.

The men, all aged between 25 and 44, denied the charges, with their lawyers maintaining there were innocent explanations for much of the material relied on by the crown.

Outside the Supreme Court following the guilty verdicts, the brother of the 25-year-old described the case as "bullshit".

"If you really go through the case and the words in the brief, you'll know it's bullshit," he said.

"If they think this will stop terrorism, imprisoning these people, I don't think it will stop terrorism.

"I think it will increase the threat on Australia."

He indicated he expected a reaction when "the people overseas, when they see this".

When asked if the verdicts would harm Australia's international reputation, the man replied:

"What do you think?"

The man's sister agreed the Muslim community would react to the news of the guilty verdicts, but said she didn't believe it would lead to increased terrorism in Australia.

"The Muslim community, obviously they're going to react," she told reporters.

"(But) It won't increase terrorism in Australia. I don't think it will. That's my brother's opinion."

She said if her brother kept his faith he would be able to see out any sentence imposed upon him.

"If my brother's got to do life, I'm sure my brother is willing to do life," she said.

"My brother is willing to do as much as he can, as long as he can smile and put his head up ... he knows in his heart he is innocent."

She said the evidence against her brother, including the discovery of chemicals in his home, was unfair.

One of the chemicals tested was the household cleaner Domestos, she said.

"Everybody uses Domestos in their house, everybody does - it's my favourite cleaning product not ... that I'm a terrorist and I am going to use it for explosives."

“Outside court following the guilty verdicts the angry brother has warned the men's imprisonment will increase the threat of terror attacks in Australia.”

The Islamic Colonialists and Occupiers are truly emboldened by the Australian Council of Trade Union’s, ACTU, financed “all cultures, Religions, social more’s are equal” Kevin 07 Labor Socialist government’s successful 2007 election campaign, they are now making no attempt to hide their intentions.

Socialists aka. Communist’s will enlist the aid of any ratbag Godless cult, if they feel that they will help them destroy the Western Democratic,Judeo Christian status quo, Socialists are not and have never been burdened by conscience or values, many would argue that this lack of character and moral compass alone is the Left’s biggest advantage in their quest to destroy civilization.

Why does Australian media assist in disguising the identities of our self declared Islamic fifth column enemies? Why can’t Australians know the faces of those enslaved to the Satanic ramblings of their Terror manual,the Koran, why does the Australian media accommodate our enemies so ?

Is it a type of Masonic hand shake? where the news editor is saying,it’s ok bro I am here for ya ? and dutifully, electronically disguise’s the faces of the Islamic Terrorists supporters and apologists, in order to allow them to carry on the Jihad their loved ones have been locked up for ?

I would like to point out the “Western, Australian” styled, clothing worn by these 5 pieces of SHIT’s, supporters and apologists, Hmmmmm I wonder who it is doing allah’s PR and spin doctoring in New South Wales, just who is it doing Islam’s male corporate wardrobe?

I have to say though don’t ya just luv it when these PIGS sqeel?

Hussein Obama’s pal,and like thinker, Mad Dog Hugo seizes Hilton on Magarita Island

 

Hotel seized after defying government

From correspondents in Caracas, Venezuela
News.com.au
Thu Oct 15 2009

VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez said overnight he seized the landmark Hilton hotel on Margarita Island because its owners dared to impose conditions on its use by his government to host a summit there last month.

Venezuelan President for life wannabe, “Mad Dog” Hugo Chavez, seen here with one of his advisors,Senorita Parrot. 

I’m not sick,but I’m not well.

"To hold the conference we had to ask for permission ... and the owners tried to impose conditions on the revolutionary government. No way," said Mr Chavez.

"So I said, 'Let's expropriate it.' And now it's been expropriated."

The Venezuelan Government was already a majority shareholder in the Hilton on the Caribbean resort island when Mr Chavez took it over on Tuesday.

"The acquisition by force of the real estate, furnishings, and related assets ... of the Margarita Hilton & Suites Hotel Complex, along with the Marina owned by Inversiones Pueblamar y Desarrollos MBK, have been ordered," read a presidential decree in the official register.

The sprawling complex, including 280 rooms, 210 suites, a casino, stores, restaurants, offices and meeting areas, as well as the adjoining marina, will be held by the state tourism corporation Venetur, which reports to the Tourism Ministry.

The hotel, in northeastern Nueva Esparta state, was targeted for nationalisation less than a month after it was used to host the South America-Africa Summit on September 26 and 27.

The seizure was billed as part of an "urgent" effort to boost "the social development side of the tourism and hotel industries in Nueva Esparta state".

Yesterday, the US-based Hilton chain said it was "evaluating" Venezuela's seizure of one of its hotels. A Hilton spokeswoman told AFP that, in the meantime, the facility "remains a member of the Hilton system of hotels".

yesterday said the Hilton and its facilities were in an "advanced state of disrepair" and that the Government would refurbish them.

"We're going to socialise the hotel," the minister told VTV television, adding that its future facilities would include a "training centre for tourism".

He also said that all current Hilton Hotel employees would not be out of a job.

"We're going to change its name," said Mr Chavez. "We'll give it a local sounding name because the Hilton brand is so international."

It is not the first time the Chavez Government has checked into a Hilton and stayed for good.

Caracas has already seized the Hilton in Caracas, rechristening it the Hotel Alba, a reference to the Venezuelan-led leftist regional alliance Alianza Bolivariana para las Americas (ALBA).

In the past four years, Venezuela has implemented the nationalisation of what is sees as strategic industries, including electric utilities, cement, steel, oil services and banking.

Hage-Ali's cocaine arrest victory

By Larissa Cummings
The Daily Telegraph
October 14, 2009 12:06PM

Former Young NSW Australian of the Year  who has admitted being a cocaine addict, was suing the State Government over allegations she was a drug dealer.

FORMER NSW Young Australian of the Year, Iktimal Hage-Ali, has won a claim for damages after a judge found she was arrested and detained unlawfully by police on suspicion of supplying cocaine.

The 26-year-old, who relinquished her title after her cocaine addiction was made public in 2007, was awarded just under $19,000 in the District Court.

Hage-Ali - a former member of John Howard's Youth Advisory Committee - was arrested by officers from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad investigating drug-use in south-west Sydney after police recorded her ordering cocaine from her supplier Mohammed "Bruce'' Fahda.

She was taken to Bankstown Police Station and held for several hours before being released without charge.

During her time in custody, she claimed she was subjected to threats and racial vilification from the police in an attempt to coerce her into giving them information about her dealings with Fahda.

Hage-Ali, who was working for the Attorney General's department at the time, agreed to turn police witness, however she insisted the drugs were for her own use, telling police: ``I'm just a f.....g addict.''

In evidence, she told the court she began using drugs heavily late in 2006 to cope with her feelings of depression.

"My father and my brother weren't too happy about me speaking on Muslim issues. I've always spoken far too much,'' she said.

She also told the court she felt down because her family didn't approve of the man she wanted to marry.

Before she agreed to a police interview, Hage-Ali claims Detective Inspector Stephen Patton told her it was in her best interest to withdraw her nomination for the national Young Australian of the Year because she ``didn't deserve it.''

The trial heard Hage-Ali purchased 13.5g of cocaine from Fahda over 11 weeks and police had evidence in text messages and phone calls of her ordering on behalf of friends.

However, she told police she was lying to Fahda and the drugs were for herself.

Judge Michael Elkaim found that police did not have to resort to arresting Ms Hage-Ali, who was a person of outstanding character with strong ties to the community and an unlikely flight risk.

He accepted the submission of her counsel, Greg Melick, SC, that the police had a number of alternatives at their discretion, including issuing her with a court attendance notice, before arrest was strictly necessary.

He awarded her $18,700, comrised of $7,000 for compensatory damages for her unlawful arrest and $7,500 for a combination of aggravated and exemplary damages, plus interest at 10 per cent for the time elapsed since the incident.

Aussie makes history at Hawaiian Ironman

October 11, 2009 - 2:36PM

Craig Alexander has made history at the Hawaiian Ironman, becoming the first Australian to win triathlon's most famous race twice.

Alexander also became only the fourth man to successful defend the overall title at Hawaii when he won in eight hours 20 minutes and 21 seconds.

 

In another great day for Australia at Hawaii, first-timer Mirinda Carfrae finished second in the women's race.

Great British phenomenon Chrissie Wellington broke the women's race record with an incredible time of 8:54.02, about 20 minutes ahead of Carfrae.

It is the fourth-straight year an Australian has won Hawaii, with Michellie Jones taking out the women's title in 2006 and Chris McCormack successful in 2007.

McCormack recovered from a rough patch during the run to finish fourth, four minutes and 59 seconds behind Alexander.

American Chris Lieto led until just under 10km left and he finished a gutsy second, two minutes and 35 seconds behind Alexander, while German Andreas Raelert was third.

Australian Pete Jacobs has had a breakthrough race, finishing eighth in 8:30.15.

Australia's other Hawaiian Ironman champion is Greg Welsh, who won in 1994.

The race is held in brutally-hot conditions on the Big Island of Hawaii and consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and 42.2km run, with about 1800 triathletes competing.

A test of ones ability that is judged on what the individual actually does or achieves.

How long before Hussein Obama decrees that all of the participants are entitled to the first place getters medal regardless of wether they finished the race or not, in the interests of equity and social justice?

I’m with the Taliban

 

Why I’m with Hamas and the Taliban

Piers Akerman
News.com.au
Saturday, October 10, 2009

WHEN it comes to awarding US President Barack Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize, I’m with the Taliban!

The terrorists think it stinks (Hamas does, too) and I believe he shouldn’t have come within cooee of the purse.

The Nobel for Medicine is awarded on results, not to a recent medical graduate who aspires to find a cancer cure.

Nor is the prize for Literature handed to someone who has written the first paragraph of what they think will be a masterpiece.

That’s how it should be, but the Nobel Peace Prize Committee doesn’t live in the real world.

Look at previous winners such as Yasser Arafat in 1994.

The father of modern Middle Eastern terrorism was at least engaged in peace talks (he signed the Oslo Accords) though 15 years on nothing has really changed.

Or the 2001 award to former UN boss Kofi Annan, on whose watch possibly 800,000 Rwandans were slaughtered.

North Vietnam’s Le Duc Tho had the grace to refuse to share the 1973 award with Henry Kissinger, becoming the only nominee to reject the glittering prize. His scruples were genuine the communist North were planning their major invasion.

Obama, on the other hand, is still dithering about whether to send more troops to Afghanistan (he should), but he took the prize without a blink.

In office for less than nine months, Obama could have just moved into the White House after his January 20 inauguration, mere days before the Nobel nominations closed last February 1.

What has he done, then, to deserve anything?

The chairman of the prize committee, former Norwegian PM (coincidentally the only male on board) Thorbjorn Jagland said: ``We have on many occasions given it to try and enhance what personalities were trying to do.’’

When asked whether it was premature, he said: ``It could be too late to respond three years from now. It is now that we have the opportunity to respond, all of us, I hope it will help him.’’

Sounds like Norway runs on the basis of handing out elephant stamps for encouragement rather than marking people on their performance.

Even the AP White House Correspondent Jennifer Loven, not known for her critical views on the Obama presidency, noted that it has actually barely begun.

“He won! For what?’’ she wrote. ``Work on the President’s ambitious agenda, both at home and abroad, is barely under way, much less finished.

“He has no standout moment of victory that would seem to warrant a verdict as sweeping as that issued by the Nobel committee.’’

As for peace, she noted that he is currently running two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and cannot get a climate change bill through his own Congress.

If he was being graded, his scorecard would read: “Incomplete.’’ The award illustrates a number of serious problems that currently exist - not only in the Peace Prize process - but globally.

The principal flaw is the readiness to accept spin over substance.

Obama has promised the world but has not delivered anything significant.

His list of ``incomplete’’ projects includes the pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, already slipping behind and unlikely to meet his own January, 2010 deadline.

Then there are his others: his failure to bring home US troops from Iraq; his failure to deal with the real threat of Iran developing nuclear weapons; his failure to even lay the groundwork for a new peace initiative between the Israelis and Palestinians. As for a nuclear-free world, see Iran.

Then there is climate change, which he sees as a ``priority’’, unlike our own Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who sees the issue of man-made carbon dioxide as the biggest moral issue facing the world.

It seems highly unlikely that Obama will have anything to present to his fans on this issue in Copenhagen come December.

He could always call former US vice-president Al Gore to deliver one of his emotion-rich but fact-lite speeches on the topic, bearing in mind the Nobel committee awarded him a Peace Prize in 2007(in conjunction with the dodgy IPCC) for his claptrap.

The Nobel committee seems to be sending a politically correct affirmative action love note to the Left in the US and elsewhere, applauding voters for electing a black man, albeit, one who has kindled divisions in his own country to such an extent that his opponents are starting to protest against his policies with a vehemence which may one day equal that of Obama’s own more extremist supporters.

That Obama has marked his presidency by attempts to define down the power and global leadership clearly appealed to the Eurovision team, tired of America being the world’s greatest

nation and shamed by having to appeal to the might of the US to resolve conflicts that have been beyond the capacity of the UN, or the European Union or any other multilateral bodies to deal with.

But if an “E’’ for effort mark, or an “H’’ for hope, is going to win what was once the world’s most prestigious prize, it’s time the Nobel Committee was told of Wilson Tuckey’s efforts to broker peace in the Liberal Party, and Mick Gatto’s mediation efforts in Melbourne’s gangland.

We have plenty of Australians just as worthy of this award as the new chum in the White House.

Great Wall utes fail to star in crash tests

Philip King 
The Australian
September 29, 2009

CHINESE vehicles have a cloud over their safety credentials after the first imports to Australia performed woefully in local crash tests.

Utes made by Great Wall Motors scored just two stars and "failed to protect the driver and passenger from injury" due to loss of structural integrity, according to the test body.

"The results for the Great Wall vehicles were particularly disappointing as these are new models to the market," ANCAP chairman Lauchlan McIntosh said yesterday.

He said many commercial vehicles were now achieving crash test results of four or five stars and offered safety comparable with passenger cars.

"Crash statistics show that occupants of one or two-star vehicles have twice the risk of receiving life-threatening injuries in a crash compared with four or five-star vehicles," he said.

The Proton Jumbuck ute, imported from Malaysia, performed even worse, attaining just a one-star rating although it is about to replaced by a new model.

The Great Wall Motors utes, the first Chinese-brand vehicles to be imported to Australia, reached showrooms in July and 500 have been sold.

The poor result risks reigniting controversy over the safety of Chinese-made vehicles, which flared in Europe when the first export SUVs, badged Landwind, crumpled in crash tests four years ago.

According to local importer Ateco Automotive, the Great Wall result was solid and had nothing in common with the unofficial Landwind tests.

"This is the first official NCAP test of a Chinese vehicle anywhere," Ateco Automotive spokesman Daniel Cotterill said.

"The tests done in Europe some years ago made spectacular video but to what standards, who knows. Our utes don't look anything like that."

A Great Wall engineer witnessed the tests and the Chinese were already working on improvements to the utes, he said.

Roman Polanski.

 

She Could Have Died, Roman

By Judith Reisman
10-5-9

I've written often about pedophile Polanski, but since he was arrested in Zurich as a fugitive fleeing the U.S. for child rape, here's a quick review.

In 1977, filmmaker Roman Polanski tricked, stripped, drugged, raped and brutally sodomized a 13-year old, 7th grade girl. Convicted of these atrocities, he fled the U.S. to work and play in freer, gayer France. He escaped because once the judge got some additional facts, his plea bargain (to save the child additional media attack) was deemed invalid.

His biographer, Thomas Kiernan reports Polanski's crimes in The Roman Polanski Story. Roman "broke open a bottle of champagne The youngster hesitated, telling him that the last time she had drunk champagne it had made her violently ill. She was asthmatic, she said that the bubbly had brought on an asthma attack."

Polanski tells her French champagne "could never hurt you." She drinks a glass to placate him.

Soon "she felt her lungs beginning to constrict." Polanski says "jump in hot tub It make you feel better."
"I really don't feel good," she says, "[S]houldn't've had champagne She complained again about her dizziness and shortness of breath He gave her a tablet and told her to take it, assuring her

that it would counter the effects of the champagne."
The police report continues. "[D]utifully, the girl swallowed the tablet." He didn't "tell her that the tablet was not an antiasthma pill but a high-potency [illegal] Quaalude from his own pocket

The girl was in a deep champagne-Quaalude daze slipping into unconsciousness."
"She was shivering and ashen and weeping I'm sick," she mumbled drunkenly. I want to go home my father gasping for breath in shrill, raspy heaves. Mucus spilled from her nostrils."

She lost bladder control and is feverish. Polanski worries that he might be stuck with a "naked American teenager in the throes of a potentially fatal seizure." He "wondered whether he should call an ambulance or the police. He decided to wait."

Why no ambulance!! In a film, should she die, his Hollywood friends might help dump the body.
Still, not to waste a rape opportunity, Polanski painfully sodomized and raped the half unconscious child. "With her breathing still impaired by the effects of the Quaalude and champagne, she immediately gagged and retched. She tried to scream but couldn't produce a sound."
Eventually, she revived. He drove the child home, leaving her at the front door. 
Now those who have followed Roman know he regularly rapes, well, sodomizes, children. Kiernan reported that "Roman just couldn't understand why screwing a kid should be of concern to anyone. He's screwed plenty of girls younger than this one, he said, and nobody gave a damn."
Roman was a victim of our "excessively prudish petite bourgeoisie."
I remember a French photo story of Roman with pubescent girls he seduced and dumped.

Kiernan quotes Roman shouting, "I love young girls very young girls."
To offset people's general revulsion, Polanski has a pubic relations campaign that constantly plays on his tragic WWII childhood. He was born Jewish. He lived during the Holocaust. (In my view, he filmed The Pianist to exploit the Holocaust as a self promoting 'pity Polanski' PR ad.) In fact, Roman went to make a film in Israel, but the Israeli government wouldn't let him set foot on Israeli soil. 
Elsewhere I've written of Polanski's response to the murder of his young wife, Sharon Tate, by Charles Manson's satanic cult. In brief.
Since Roman used girls in their marriage bed, the spousal relationship was, well, tense.

Roman sold pictures of his naked wife to Playboy to tantalize millions of lusting men (was Manson one of the millions?). When she was pregnant, Polanski humiliated Tate in public, calling her "a dumb hag" and similar endearments.
Polanski partied in London, often with his Arab sheiks. He planned to remain until the baby was born. "Then maybe I could go back and find Sharon the way she used to be."
His biographer says he was "sipping champagne, passing a marijuana cigarette around when he heard his wife and baby were stabbed to death in a satanic ritual" by the Manson cult.

Poor Polanski flew back to "pose at the entrance of the death house for Life magazine a week after the slaughter. He charged Life $5,000 for this picture."
Touching.

Recapping. In 1977, filmmaker Roman Polanski, an infamous Hollywood pedophile, got caught.

He'd done nothing more than drug, rape, sodomize and almost kill a 7th-grade child. Based on his sadistic sexual history, there was nothing new in that, so he was outraged by his arrest.
Convicted of his ruthless near sadosexual murder, the mean judge told Polanski he could get 50 years -- but he'd be paroled certainly.

Thus did Roman flee to France to continue being a lionized pedophile filmmaker.
The Swiss arrested him recently as a fugitive from the U.S. If he is returned to California and sent to the clink -- with all those big, mean guys for his remaining years -- well, that actually starts to sound like justice.

SKIN CANCER Claims Hayley Birch

 

Air girl's skin cancer death at just 25

The Daily Telegraph
October 03, 2009 12:58PM

AN air hostess whose job meant she could sunbathe in Australia and all over the world has died of skin cancer at 25

Hayley Birch had worked for Virgin Atlantic for four years and topped up her tan at resorts around the globe in her free time.

She sunned herself in hotspots such as Dubai, Australia and Hong Kong.

But she has lost an 18-month battle with cancer - dying just days before a fundraising ball she organised after being told she was terminally ill.

The event will still go ahead tonight, with auction prizes donated by celebs including chef Marco Pierre White, 47 - who became pals with Hayley at another charity fundraiser.

Last night heartbroken mum Penny Birch said Hayley's glamorous job meant she "probably had more sun that most people".

But Penny, of Solihull, West Midlands, added: "She was naturally dark and never overdid it. She was always careful to make sure she didn't burn. It just seems so cruel and unfair."

In December 2007 Hayley discovered a mole on her leg. Tests revealed it was cancerous and it was removed.

Penny said: "We thought that was the end of it, but six months later Hayley found a lump in her groin. She had that removed and the cancer reappeared in her stomach, then in her neck and armpits."

She added: "Hayley never once asked how long she had left - she just threw herself into fundraising."

Australian Girls and Guys please note the tragic story above.

Quentin Bryce, Australia’s very own affirmative action “idiot in search of a village” Rudd insider and part time Australian Governor General.

 

"All Australians will be distressed by the terrible news of the tsunami in Samoa, the earthquake in Indonesia and the typhoon in the Philippines," she told reporters at her Sydney residence Admiralty House on Thursday.

"Australia is home to 40,000 Samoans and I know that we will all come together to support them during this very worrying time for them and their families.

"We Australians are no strangers to natural disasters and this is the time for us to return the generous support that we received in Victoria during the bushfires."

Full Story HERE

WTF? What support? from who? when?

Is this woman totally insane? Is she so far into Australia’s very own Messiah’s inner sanctum, the “Kevin 07 Rudd”,Socialist Labor Party,elitist parallel universe, that she actually believes that Australian Victorian Bush Fire victims of 2009 owe Indonesians and Samoans a debt, because, they, in HER mind, contributed to the 2009 Victorian Bush Fire Disaster Appeal?

Like America, Australia pays its own way,there are no telethons banging away in outer Mongolia or Iraq or Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria,Indonesia or the entire fricking Middle East,or Europe ,with host’s staring into TV cameras,dripping tears of blood for Americans or Australians who have been burned alive or buried alive, blown into a million pieces or drowned following some natural disaster or some “miss understanding”of the Koran

Australia has already given 1 BILLION Australian DOLLARS to the worlds largest Muslim Nation,Indonesia,following their 2004  Tsunami, on top of the HALF BILLION DOLLARS Australian TAX PAYERS donate EVERY year to Indonesia in the name of Foreign Aid.

Does this career “idiot in search of a village” & affirmative action, Rudd “inner circle” token female,Feminist LOON & Socialist apologist, really think that AUSTRALIANS were the recipients of donations from Indonesia?, the worlds largest Muslim Nation, sworn to eliminate, at all, and any opportunity,the Judeo Christian nation to their south that they call SOUTH Irian,the rest of the world calls it AUSTRALIA, so how much did the Indonesians donate to the Victorian bush fire disaster of 2009? How much did the Samoan’s donate to the Victorian bush fire disaster of 2009?

Call me crazy but as far as I know the Australian public, donated over 300 MILLION Dollars to this cause in 2009.

No mention of money from the shit dirt poor of Muslim Indonesia or the “Island Paradise”of Samoa, with, oh so many, many of their citizens living in Australia receiving Social security benefits donating part of their Australian taxpayer provided income to the Victorian Bush Fire  disaster of 2009.

Oh and by the way, of that $300 million PLUS, the vast majority of that money is still in the Socialist Victorian Labor Government’s pockets,many, many of the victims of the fires are still awaiting the proceeds that were so generously donated by their fellow Australians, how much of this $300 million was misappropriated by the good Socialist’s that run Australia now,in order to ingratiate themselves to their United Nations masters, so as to ensure that Kevin 07 Rudd gets a job in the UN after he is thrown out of office in Australia?

Samoa? I have no problem with helping them, they are good people who at the end of the day Love, Worship and Respect GOD and the goodness of the Judeo Christian Democratic ethos, the Indonesian Muslims are to be taken at their word,they enunciate their desire to eliminate Australians from the face of the earth given any opportunity to do so.

Having said that, I do believe that we should help Indonesia because unlike them and their fellow Islamic co religionist’s we,at least the majority of Australians believe, that we should help our fellow man in times of adversity.

For Australia’s affirmative action ,Governor General,and former commissioner for “numerous broken hearts and gee aren't men bastards” and “look at that glass ceiling will ya” shit, to imply that Australians owe a debt to these two Nations is an indication as to how out of touch the members of the Rudd Labor inner sanctum are. 

For the Record apart from Australians, the taxpayers of the United States Of America have been our staunchest allies and supporters in times of trouble,for Rudd’s personal affirmative action Australian Governor General & “womin servant” and “please vote for Kevin 07 to become the next UN Secretary General, how much money do you want” emissary to try and imply that Australians have some debt to those who are sworn by what they call their “Religion” to eliminate us from the face of the earth, is a bit much to say the least.

100 Australians Missing in Indonesia,Australian Samoa survivor speaks of horror

100 Aussies missing in quake region

News.com.au

October 02, 2009

Indonesian search and rescue team members evacuate quake survivor John Lee after he was trapped for two days in the rubble of Maryani International hotel in the Padang quake.

An Australian urban search and rescue team and 10 defence force engineers are heading to Indonesia as authorities express fears that thousands may have died following Wednesday's massive earthquake.

Around 100 Australians are unaccounted for. Foreign Minister Stephen Smith says while he's concerned for their welfare it's likely they're uninjured but yet to contact officials.

The 7.6-magnitude quake toppled buildings and led to fires in Padang, home to nearly a million people on the coast of Sumatra, leaving the city largely without power and communications.

Mr Smith says Australia is responding to a request for help from Indonesia's president.

"Today an urban search and rescue team will leave Australia to assist on the search and rescue mission in Padang," Mr Smith told ABC TV.

"We're also sending a defence force engineering assessment team which will be able to give assistance on some of the difficult engineering aspects of searching buildings that have been damaged by the earthquake."

The urban search and rescue team comprises 44.

Both teams will fly out on Friday morning to Jakarta. They'll likely arriving in Padang on Saturday.

Mr Smith said Australia was making a "significant contribution".

"The scale of this disaster is only now becoming apparent," he said.

"We're worried we'll see deaths not in the hundreds but over a 1,000."

The Rudd government already has a small team of officials on the ground in Padang trying to track down affected Australians.

Humanitarian aid already in Indonesia - including blankets, tents, tarpaulins, water contamination tablets - is now being distributed.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade believes around 250 Australians are in the general area. Around 100 are still unaccounted for.

"We've made contact with nearly 140 so at this stage we've potentially got just over 100 Australians who may be in the area with whom we haven't been able to make contact," Mr Smith said.

"But at this stage we've got no evidence which would indicate that we've got any Australians who are killed or injured.

"But we're just worried to ensure that we track down all the Australians who may have been in the area.

"I'm always concerned when we've got potentially 100 Australians whose whereabouts we can't vouchsafe for."

Australia's embassy in Jakarta hasn't been able to make contact with four of the 13 Australians who were registered in the Padang area "owing to poor communications".

Indonesia earthquake: Seven Australians missing in Padang

SEVEN Australians are missing in the Indonesian surfing mecca of Padang following a 7.6-magnitude earthquake which has killed 464 people and buried thousands.
Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said half of the 14 Australians known to be in Padang, located in western Sumatra, at the time of the quake have been located.
"In the area concerned there are 14 Australians who are registered or we know are in the area, we've made contact with seven of those and we're doing our best to contact the remaining seven," he said.

A group of Australian officials has being dispatched to Sumatra to assist any Australians caught up in the tragedy and assess humanitarian assistance needs.

Mr Smith's comments follow the Indonesian Health Ministry's prediction that thousands of people were likely killed in the Indonesian earthquake that struck Sumatra last night.
A second earthquake was recorded shortly before noon (AEST) today - it had a magnitude of 7.0 and struck 150km south of the epicentre.
Padang devastated
Five hundred buildings in Padang collapsed or were badly damaged, Disaster Management Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono said.
"Two hundred bodies have been pulled from the rubble. The extent of damage in surrounding areas is still unclear due to poor communications," he said.

Padang is a popular destination for Australian surfers heading to the nearby Mentawais Islands.

Surfing Australia chief executive Andrew Stark said: "The Mentawais Islands have the very best surfing waves on the planet. It’s the best surfing in the world.

"There can be up to 35-40 boats in the water at any time, so we have big concerns that there will be Australian surfers that may have been coming in and out of Padang.
"The surf season starts from April until late September in Sumatra and Australian surfers visit Indonesia in the thousands, so we have serious concerns for the safety of Australian and all surfers.

"Australians usually fly into Padang before heading out on surf charters, or staying in surf resorts. So there will absolutely be Aussies caught up in the impact.”

Two Australian surfers who were reported missing were among those located today. Luke Kennedy, acting editor of Tracks magazine where the two worked, said there would be many surfers in Padang.

"(We have) major concerns for any Australian surfers that are based in Indonesia. We also have great sympathy ... with the Indonesian people who are going to be affected by this," he said.

Australian Red Cross said their local office was handling the disaster and hadn’t requested additional help, but that they were on stand-by to help should it be required.

Fears for loved ones

News.com.au readers have expressed concerns about friends and family caught up in the Padang quake.

Gwen Burns said her sister, a heath professional who has worked in the area for eight months, ran out of her Padang hotel room in a panic with her laptop, purse and "just the clothes on her back". The building collapsed shortly after.

"She is my little sister and I am so worried about her and what she went through last night, with no power, no where to go, no communication," she said.

"She was in tears and really shaken."

Meanwhile Malcolm Robertson said his son arrived in Penang yesterday for a 12 day off-shore surfing holiday. He received a text last night saying he was OK but hopes he is out to sea rather than on land.

"I think they must have got out of the airport and made it to the boat OK. Maybe they left harbour, thinking there would be a tsunami. In which case, it’s best to be out at sea," he said.
Earlier today, Disaster Management Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono said: "The effects of the earthquake could be as big as the Yogyakarta quake."

He was referring to a 2006 quake that killed nearly 6000.

The tragedy comes just a day after an earthquake and tsunami hit Samoa and American Samoa, killing 148 people, including five Australians.

DFAT emergency helpline: 1300 555 135

Local media reported that panicked residents rushed from their homes during the quake, which struck off Sumatra's west coast at 5pm (8pm AEST), 47km northwest of Padang.

Indonesian tsunami warning head Rahmat Triyono said the agency did not release a tsunami alert.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Hawaii however issued a tsunami watch for Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Thailand, but later cancelled it.

The quake was felt in the capital Jakarta, 940km away, and sent frightened office workers streaming out of buildings in nearby Singapore and the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.

Forced evacuations for 'super typhoon'

News.com.au
Thu Oct 01 20:47:00 EST 2009

THE Philippines police say they will forcibly evacuate residents refusing to leave their homes in the direct path of an approaching super typhoon.

The order for a "pre-emptive evacuation" was handed down by Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro "in line with our zero casualty target", national police spokesman Leopoldo Bataoil said.

He said the order covered communities in the shorelines of Cagayan province in the north-eastern seaboard of Luzon island, where Typhoon Parma was expected to make landfall on Saturday afternoon.

The state weather bureau said Parma was expected to develop into a super typhoon, equivalent to a category four hurricane that could cause widespread damage.

Already packing gusts of up to 185km/hr, Parma was still building up strength as it churned towards the eastern side of the Philippines, officials said.

It comes just days after storm Ketsana caused the heaviest flooding in over four decades in Manila and nearby areas, killing 277 and affecting more than 2.5 million.

Chief Superintendent Roberto Damian, commander of the region that covers Cagayan, said residents would be asked politely to leave when the typhoon begins lashing the area.

"We will first appeal on them to leave but if we see that they are in immediate danger, we will forcibly carry them to evacuation centres," he said.
