ASIO claimed minister was being controlled by Soviets

How could anyone NOT like him ?

Comrade Gietzelt

IN February 1983, just weeks before the first Hawke ministry was sworn in, ASIO believed that the new minister for veterans' affairs, Arthur Gietzelt, was possibly "a secret member" of the Communist Party and "under some form of control" by the Soviet Union.

Several months after senator Gietzelt became a minister, an ASIO agent reported in a "secret" note a conversation between Communist Party leaders Laurie Aarons and Joe Palmada that revealed senator Gietzelt was "still a financial member of the CPA" and that he was meeting Aarons "regularly".

A previously unreleased cache of ASIO files made available to The Australian provides the first documentary evidence that Mr Gietzelt, now 92, was believed to have still had close links with the Communist Party while serving as a minister.

A "secret" ASIO minute paper, dated February 18, 1983, concluded with the "possibility" that "GIETZELT is under some form of control by the Soviets. As a secret member of the CPA and a parliamentarian he would undoubtedly be of interest to the Soviets," it said.

In an interview with The Australian, former prime minister Bob Hawke said: "I just don't think it is appropriate for a (former) prime minister to discuss the nature of the conversations they had with ASIO."

Mr Hawke said he was satisfied about senator Gietzelt's loyalty to the government.

"I had no problem with any of my ministers in terms of their complete commitment to the Australian Labor Party," he said.

"I had heard there was scuttlebutt about Gietzelt; there was scuttlebutt about Tom Uren. But as far as I was concerned they were totally committed to the Labor Party."

Comrade Macken ...by Comrade Macken.

Yes I am sure they "were totally committed to the Labor Party." Comrade Hawke,as are you and all members of the ACTU GetUp funded ALP,but the Australian Labor Party is not the Australian People, it is not representative of the aspirations of the Australian people it is unashamedly committed to the objectives of International Socialism aka.Socialist aka Communist World Government, or is Comrade Macken lieing?

ASIO maintained its interest in senator Gietzelt's alleged communist linkages as the Hawke government came into office and while senator Gietzelt was serving as a minister.

Two days before the March 5, 1983 election, which swept Labor into government, ASIO completed an examination of its extensive files on senator Gietzelt, who had been a member of the upper house since 1971. "An examination of the GIETZELT file leads to the conclusion that he was and probably remains a secret member of the Communist Party of Australia," notes a minute paper labelled "top secret".

Another "secret" file note prepared in April 1982, during the Fraser government, documents senator Gietzelt's association with the Communist Party between April 1976 and November 1981.

It reports that Aarons, the then national secretary of the Communist Party, described senator Gietzelt as "the CPA's official parliamentary co-ordinator in Canberra between 1972 and 1975" -- the term of Gough Whitlam's Labor government.

It also notes that senator Gietzelt "was a secret member of the CPA" in 1969 or 1970, and also in 1979 that he "is a dual ticket holder (CPA/ALP) and is the main key of influence of the CPA in the left wing of the ALP".

In the March 1983 document, ASIO notes that while the source material on senator Gietzelt's secret involvement in the Communist Party stretched for at least four decades, it could not be certain that he "was a secret party member", even though earlier and later ASIO documents suggest that he was.

ASIO's files cover his alleged involvement with the Communist Party from the 1940s to at least the 1980s, and include extensive agent reports, informant reports, photos and films outlining a secret role in organising for the CPA inside the Labor Party.

Several ASIO files concerning senator Gietzelt's Communist Party linkages remain unreleased. Several documents that have been released have many redactions throughout.

When contacted by The Australian on Monday, Mr Gietzelt refused to respond to the ASIO claims in the new documents. When contacted by The Australian in 2010, Mr Gietzelt denied that he was a member of, or an organiser for, the Communist Party.

Syrian rebels eulogise Aussie 'martyr'

AN Australian man killed while fighting in Syria's bloody civil war is being hailed as a martyr in online tributes posted by rebel forces, which show him posing with weapons and building home made bombs.

The man's name and date of birth correspond with that given for one person in a secret 2010 cable sent by the US embassy in Canberra, detailing people to be added to the US government's Terrorist Screening Database. However, his family deny he was a member of any extremist group.

Travelling under the name Abu al-Walid al-Australi, the former Melbourne bricklayer is shown in tributes to be a fighter with the anti-government Syrian militia. Two other Australians, from Sydney and from Melbourne, were killed last year after entering Syria to take part in what their families described as humanitarian work.

Security agencies believe that more than 100 Australians have joined the Syrian civil war, amid fears the experience could provide potential extremists with combat skills and training.

Abu al-Walid's real name is Yusuf Toprakkaya, a 30-year-old Turkish-Australian whose parents and wife still live in Melbourne's northern suburb of Broadmeadows, although his wife is understood to have supported him going to Syria.

A 2010 US government cable, released by WikiLeaks, requested that a Turkish-Australian called "Yousef Topprakaya" be placed on the "SELECTEE list", of the Terrorist Screening Database as he had "demonstrated connections" with a former Yemeni al-Qaida leader, Anwar al-Awlaki.

Twenty-three Australians are named in the US embassy cable, which said the names were provided by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. Anyone placed on the 'SELECTEE list' should be automatically selected for enhanced screening for US flights.

An online tribute posted by the al-Farouk Brigades, part of the Free Syria Army, said Mr Toprakkaya had been killed by a sniper during a battle at the Wadi al-Dayf military base on December 30.

"The martyr Abu al-Walid al-Australi . . . whenever we went on any battle I would see him on the front lines," this tribute said.

"(He) left Australia and left behind his parents, and he's their only son, and he left his wife and job. And he headed for Syria a mujahed for the cause of Allah."

The short film shows Mr Toprakkaya as one of a group of bearded fighters, posing with heavy weapons and squatting on the ground while he primed the detonators of homemade bombs.

"Abu al-Walid received today what he asked for . . . His body received the bullet as he was advancing, not retreating," the text accompanying this film reads.

Online reports posted by pro-government agencies in Syria suggested Mr Toprakkaya was a member of the al-Nusra Front, an extremist group linked to al-Qa'ida, which is also fighting as part of the Free Syria Army.

Friends of Mr Toprakkaya denied this connection, however, and the claims made in this video have not been supported elsewhere.

Mr Toprakkaya's sisters, who declined to be named, said yesterday he had gone to Syria to provide humanitarian assistance. "He didn't want to be a bystander to all the atrocity that was happening," one said.

"He paid the ultimate price for being a nice person, for helping out and not just sitting and watching what was happening. He wouldn't harm a thing. Animals would follow him home from the shopping centre -- he had so much love to give."

The Syrian civil war has already seen thousands of foreigners cross the country's porous borders to join the fighting between the country's Sunni majority and the minority Alawite regime of Bashar al-Assad.

A number of Islamic organisations in Australia are sending money to Syria, ostensibly to support humanitarian work, although security agencies believe some of this money may flow to rebel forces.

A delegation of leading Australian Muslims, including the Grand Mufti, Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, yesterday visited a refugee camp in neighbouring Jordan.

What makes the "Mufti of Sydney's Occupied Territories and his fellow insurgents "feel like we are on cloud nine" ?

Mother's grief after Yusuf Toprakkaya's death in Syria battle

Herald Sun

January 03, 201312:00AM

THE mother of an Australian killed fighting with rebel forces in Syria says he was not a terrorist despite being put on a US watch list.

Muazez Toprakkaya told the Herald Sun at her Broadmeadows home her son Yusuf was only trying to help the Syrian people.

"My son is very sweet. He was there just to help, to help the children. (Syrian leader Bashar al-) Assad is very bad, he has killed all those people, why?" she said.

When asked whether her son was involved with terrorists, Mrs Toprakkaya said: "No, my son is very good, my son is not like that."

Mr Toprakkaya, 30, was killed by a sniper in a battle for the Wadi al-Dayf military base on December 30.

His sisters said in a statement their brother was a kind-hearted person.

"He was in Syria for this same reason - to help the innocent people who were being oppressed," they said.

"His last sentiments were that if (his) family was in the same situation he would want someone to defend and protect them."

Neighbours were delivering food to the family home yesterday as relatives gathered to mourn his death.

The family is of Turkish background and are Sunni Muslims, a group that is in conflict with al-Assad who is from the Alawite group.

Mr Toprakkaya had been in Syria for at least six months, his mother said.

A YouTube tribute for Mr Toprakkaya described him as Abu al-Walid, "who died a martyr". He can also be seen making a crude bomb in the YouTube clip, posted by the al-Farouk Brigades in the past week.

"Abu al-Walid left Australia and left behind his parents, and he's their only son, and he left his wife and job," the tribute said.

"He rose to be martyred by the snipers of the Assad gangs in the Solid Built battle to liberate Wadi al-Dayf.

"His body received the bullet as he was advancing, not retreating."

The Australian reported Mr Toprakkaya was on a US terrorist screening database.

Syria rebels 'beheaded a Christian and fed him to the dogs' as fears grow over Islamist atrocities.

Christian Andrei Arbashe, 38, was kidnapped and beheaded by rebel fighters in northern town of Ras Al-Ayn on the Turkish border

Syrian rebels beheaded a Christian man and fed his body to dogs, according to a nun who says the West is ignoring atrocities committed by Islamic extremists.

The nun said taxi driver Andrei Arbashe, 38, was kidnapped after his brother was heard complaining that fighters against the ruling regime behaved like bandits.

She said his headless corpse was found by the side of the road, surrounded by hungry dogs. He had recently married and was soon to be a father.

Sister Agnes-Mariam de la Croix said: ‘His only crime was his brother criticised the rebels, accused them of acting like bandits, which is what they are.’
There have been a growing number of accounts of atrocities carried out by rogue elements of the Syrian Free Army, which opposes dictator Bashar al-Assad and is recognised by Britain and the West as the legitimate leadership.
Sister Agnes-Miriam, mother superior of the Monastery of St James the Mutilated, has condemned Britain and the west for supporting the rebels despite growing evidence of human rights abuses. Murder, kidnapping, rape and robbery are becoming commonplace, she says.
‘The free and democratic world is supporting extremists,’ Sister Agnes-Miriam said from her sanctuary in Lebanon. ‘They want to impose Sharia Law and create an Islamic state in Syria.’

The 60-year-old Carmelite nun claims the west has turned a blind eye to growing evidence of a ‘fifth column’ of fanatics within the rag-tag ranks that make up the Free Syrian Army that they back to oust Assad.
One of the most effective fighting forces is the Jabat Al-Nusra, which has an ideology similar to Al Qaeda.
‘The uprising has been hijacked by Islamist mercenaries who are more interested in fighting a holy war than in changing the government,’ she said.
‘It has turned into a sectarian conflict. One in which Christians are paying a high price.’
The rebel attacked the northern town of Ras Al-Ayn, on the Turkish border, last month. The fighters entered the Christian quarter, ordering civilians to leave and leaving their homes.
‘More than 200 families were driven out in the night,’ Sister Agnes-Miriam says. ‘People are afraid. Everywhere the deaths squads stop civilians, abduct them and ask for ransom, sometimes they kill them.

Militants wearing black bandanas of Al Qaeda recently laid siege to the Monastery of St James the Mutilated, located between Damascus and Homs, for two days in an attempt to prevent Christmas celebrations, the nun claims.

An estimated 300,000 Christians have been displaced in the conflict, with 80,000 forced out of the Homs region alone, she claims.
Many have fled abroad raising fears that Syria’s Christian community may vanish - like others across Middle East, the birthplace of Christianity.
Al Assad, a member of the Alawite Muslim sect, claims only his regime can protect Syria’s minorities from domination from the Sunni Muslims majority.
Meanwhile the fighting continues to rage with government forces retaking control of a key district in the city of Homs yesterday.
The latest violence comes after United Nations peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi warned of ‘hell’ for Syria if no political solution could be found.
Russia has stated the conflict is becoming increasingly militarised and sectarian and risks bringing chaos to the whole region.
Some 44,000 people have been killed since the uprising against the Al Assad regime began in March 2011.

Seven NSW Police officers assaulted in Sydney's Occupied Territories by Muslim Family aka. Labor's Vote People

Full marks to whoever it was that refused bail pending these "Harmony Day Ambassadors"  " Labor Vote People" court appearance tomorrow.
It appears that the NSW Police Force is clawing back 16 years of Socialist intervention and pro Muslim Lawless and Disorder (EG: NSW Labor Government Sponsored Intifada following "Cronulla Riots") imposed by the former Labor Socialist State Governments, under the Liberal (Conservative) O'Farrell State Government, no coincidence the Police Minister is a former Copper.
Now its up to the Magistrate to do his or her job and ensure they get it through their thick Middle Eastern Savage Skulls that it is against Australian Law to behave the way they did and impose a punitive sentence on all of them that they wont forget , say 6 months with 3 months non parole for all of them 
My only complaint is that they were not hit hard enough for long enough. 
Why does the NSW Police Force insist on sending 4foot nothing Australian women officers into these crap holes that are with any reasonable assessement are suitable only for only the most physically capable Male Public Order and Riot Squad members with water cannon (Crucifixes,50 lb Pork Legs and Garlic cloves ?) or better still Australia's SAS going door to door doing top to bottom searches with residents face down on the street cuffed behind heads under the supervision of Police Dog Squad.


Seven police officers injured in brawl with family during domestic dispute in Sydney

THREE police officers were hospitalised and another four have been injured after responding to a domestic violence incident in Sydney's south-west this morning.

Police were called to a house on Ogmore Court, Bankstown, following a number of complaints around 13.30am.

As police were preparing to leave the premises, a probationary constable was punched in the face by one of the family members while standing in the driveway.

The punch left the officer with a black eye.

Up to six members of the family then allegedly joined in the assault of the officer, before other police came to his aid.

A violent altercation then took place between police and the family, which resulted in injuries to a further six officers, who suffered bruising and concussion. One officer was also allegedly bitten on the hand.

Tasers were drawn, but not fired during the brawl which involved in 18-year-old triplets and resulted in one officer being bitten on the hand.

Police from neighbouring Local Area Commands responded to calls for urgent assistance, and five members of the family - four adult males and an adult female - were arrested.

They were taken to Bankstown Police Station where they are assisting with inquiries.

Three of the officers, including the Probationary Constable who was originally attacked, required treatment at Bankstown Hospital. They have since been released.

Full marks to whoever it was that refused bail pending these "Harmony Day Ambassadors"  "Vote People" court appearance tomorrow.
My only complaint is that they were not hit hard enough for long enough.
