Climate Hoax:You Don’t Know the Half of It

You Don’t Know the Half of It: Temperature Adjustments and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology


by Jennifer Marohasy
September 28, 2015

For the true believer, it is too awful to even consider that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology could be exaggerating global warming by adjusting figures. This doesn’t mean though, that it’s not true.

 Environment Minister Greg Hunt

In fact, under Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a panel of eminent statisticians was formed to investigate these claims detailed in The Australian newspaper in August and September 2014. The panel did acknowledge in its first report that the Bureau homogenized the

temperature data: that it adjusted figures. The same report also concluded that it was unclear whether these adjustments resulted in an overall increase or decrease in the warming trend. No conclusions could be drawn because the panel did not work through a single example of homogenization, not even for Rutherglen. Rutherglen is of course in north eastern Victoria, an agricultural research station with a continuous minimum temperature record unaffected by equipment changes or documented site-moves, but where the Bureau nevertheless adjusted the temperatures. This had the effect of turning a temperature time series without a statistically significant trend, into global warming of almost 2 degrees per Century.

According to media reports last week, a thorough investigation of the Bureau’s methodology was prevented because of intervention by Environment Minister Greg Hunt. He apparently argued in Cabinet that the credibility of the institution was paramount. That it is important the public have trust in the Bureau’s data and forecasts, so the public know to heed warning of bushfires and cyclones.

This is the type of plea repeatedly made by the Catholic Church hierarchy to prevent the truth about paedophilia, lest the congregation lose faith in the church.

Contrast this approach with that by poet and playwright Henrik Ibsen who went so far as to suggest ‘the minority is always right’ in an attempt to have his audience examine the realities of 18th Century morality. Specifically, Ibsen wanted us to consider that sometimes the individual who stands alone is making a valid point which is difficult to accept because every culture has its received wisdoms: those beliefs that cannot be questioned, until they are proven in time to have been wrong. British biologist, and contemporary of Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley was trying to make a similar point when he wrote, “I am too much of a skeptic to deny the possibility of anything.”

Mr Hunt defends the Bureau because they have a critical role to play in providing the Australian community with reliable weather forecasts. This is indeed one of their core responsibilities. They would, however, be better able to perform this function, if they used proper techniques for quality control of temperature data, and the best available techniques for forecasting rainfall [1]. Of concern, there has been no improvement in their seasonal rainfall forecasts for two decades because they use general circulation models [2]. These are primarily tools for demonstrating global warming, with dubious, if any skill, at actually forecasting weather or climate.

Consider for example, the Millennium drought and the flooding rains that followed in 2010. Back in 2007, and 2008, David Jones, then and still the Manager of Climate Monitoring and Prediction at the Bureau of Meteorology, wrote that climate change was so rampant in Australia, “We don’t need meteorological data to see it” [3], and that the drought, caused by climate change, was a sign of the “hot and dry future” that we all collectively faced [4]. Then the drought broke, as usual in Australia, with flooding rains. But the Bureau was incapable of forecasting an exceptionally wet summer, because such an event was contrary to how senior management at the Bureau perceived our climate future. So, despite warning signs evident in sea surface temperature patterns across the Pacific through 2010, Brisbane’s Wivenhoe dam, a dam originally built for flood mitigation, was allowed to fill through the spring of 2010, and kept full in advance of the torrential rains in January 2011. The resulting catastrophic flooding of Brisbane is now recognized as a “dam release flood”, and the subject of a class action lawsuit by Brisbane residents against the Queensland government.

Indeed despite an increasing investment in super computers, there is ample evidence that ideology is trumping rational decision making at the Bureau on key issues that really matter, like the prediction of drought and flood cycles. Because a majority of journalists and politicians desperately want to believe that the Bureau knows best, they turn away from the truth, and ignore the facts.

News Ltd journalist Anthony Sharwood got it completely wrong in his weekend article defending the Bureau’s homogenization of the temperature record [5]. I tried to explain to him on the phone last Thursday, how the Bureau don’t actually do what they say when they homogenize temperature time series for places like Rutherglen. Mr Sharwood kept coming back to the issue of ‘motivations’. He kept asking me why on earth the Bureau would want to mislead the Australian public. I should have kept with the methodology, but I suggested he read what David Jones had to say in the Climategate emails. Instead of considering the content of the emails that I mentioned, however, Sharwood wrote in his article that, “Climategate was blown out of proportion”, and “independent investigations cleared the researchers of any form of wrongdoing”.

Nevertheless, the content of the Climategate emails includes quite a lot about homogenization, and the scientists’ motivations. For example, there is an email thread in which Phil Jones (University of East Anglia) and Tom Wigley (University of Adelaide) discuss the need to get rid of a blip in global temperatures around 1940-1944. Specifically Wigley suggested they reduce ocean temperatures by an arbitrary 0.15 degree Celsius. These are exactly the types of arbitrary adjustments made throughout the historical temperature record for Australia: adjustments made independently of any of the purported acceptable reasons for making adjustments, including site moves, and equipment changes.

Sharwood incorrectly wrote in his article that: “Most weather stations have moved to cooler areas (i.e. areas away from the urban hear island effect). So if scientists are trying to make the data reflect warmer temperatures, they’re even dumber than the sceptics think.” In fact, many (not most) weather stations have moved from post offices to airports, which have hotter, not cooler, day time temperatures. Furthermore, the urban heat island creeps into the official temperature record for Australia, not because of site moves, but because the temperature record at places like Cape Otway lighthouse is adjusted to make it similar to the record in built-up areas like Melbourne, which are clearly affected by the urban heat island [6].

I know this sounds absurd. It is absurd, and it is also true. Indeed, a core problem with the methodology that the Bureau uses is its reliance on “comparative sites” to make adjustments to data at other places. I detail the Cape Otway lighthouse example in a recent paper published in the journal Atmospheric Research, volume 166, page 145 [6].

It is so obvious that there is an urgent need for a proper, thorough and independent review of operations at the Bureau. But it would appear our politicians and many mainstream media are set against the idea. Evidently they are too conventional in their thinking to consider that such an important Australian institution could now be ruled by ideology.

Middle Eastern Crime Gangs: Smuggling operation with links to Middle Eastern organised crime and involving corrupt Sydney waterfront workers has been shut down

Illegal tobacco and drug syndicate run by corrupt waterfront officials smashed by police in Sydney

The Daily Telegraph
September 30, 2015 3:48pm

A TOBACCO smuggling operation with links to Middle Eastern organised crime and involving corrupt Sydney waterfront workers has been shut down after the seizure of millions of cigarettes bound for black markets.

The syndicate, which allegedly shipped large quantities of cigarettes from the United Arab Emirates, is accused of paying kickbacks worth tens of thousands of dollars to employees from customs brokerage and freight-forwarding companies.

Authorities expect to make further arrests after 12 people, including one woman, were charged after raids at 17 Sydney properties on Tuesday.

Two men faced Sutherland Local Court today on various charges related to the illegal tobacco importation as well as the alleged importation of 270g of cocaine.

A third man, who is a member of the Lone Wolf outlaw motorcycle gang, was also due to face the same court today over the cigarette syndicate and drugs charges.

The remainder of the syndicate will face court next month.

Cash seized during a raid in Sydney over an illegal tobacco importation syndicate that allegedly smuggled millions of dollars worth of cigarettes and drugs into the country.
The arrests come after a joint operation involving the Australian Federal Police, NSW Police and Australian Border Force, which began just over a year ago.

Australian Border Force Deputy Commissioner Michael Outram said the “sheer size of the profits” available in the illegal tobacco trade made it attractive to organised crime.

“Elicit tobacco is a real priority for the Australian Border Force simply because of the involvement of serious and organised crime groups and transnational crime groups,” he told reporters in Sydney.

“They’ll trade in tobacco, they’ll trade in drugs, they’ll trade in human beings.”

He said the same tactics could be used to smuggle guns and drugs.

“If they can turn a quick buck with relatively low risk then they’ll do it, whether that’s drugs, whether that’s tobacco or in some cases whether that’s people smuggling.”

Police also seized $400,000 in cash during the raids on Tuesday. About $2 million worth of assets including bank accounts and properties had been frozen.

It’s alleged the syndicate imported more than 10 million cigarettes, including one shipment of nine million “Manchester” branded cigarettes, which was seized after arriving at Sydney’s Port Botany last week, and had a black market value of about $5.4 million.

More than $700,000 had been seized during the course of the investigation.

AFP acting deputy commissioner Ian McCartney said further arrests were expected.

“This is a sophisticated syndicate, obviously with tentacles here plus overseas,” he told reporters.

Westfield Parramatta murder: Victim Nabil Naser warned police, family of death threats

The Daily Telegraph
September 30 2015

In the months before Nabil Naser was murdered in front of horrified Sydney shoppers, he complained to police and family that his killer had made death threats, a court has heard.

Mr Naser, 41, died on the floor of Parramatta’s Westfield on July 7, 2014, after he was stabbed multiple times by his former wife’s new husband Kazem Mohamadi Payam.

Crown prosecutor Terry Thorpe told Payam’s Supreme Court sentence hearing on Wednesday that significant animosity had built up between the pair following the breakdown of Mr Naser’s relationship with his former wife, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

In March 2014, the court heard that Payam and Mr Naser made counter claims against one another.

Payam and his wife took an AVO against Mr Naser, while Mr Naser complained to police that Payam had warned, “Nabil, you know me, I kill”.

On Tuesday, Mr Naser’s cousin Khalid Mohammad told Payam’s sentence hearing he had also raised concerns with him over death threats.

In the year before his death, Mr Mohammad said his cousin claimed Payam stated: “I’m going to cut your head off”.

However this was ruled as hearsay by Acting Justice Jane Mathews and will not be taken into account when Payam is sentenced.

Whatever the circumstances leading up to the killing, what happened on that day was captured by CCTV.

Footage from within the centre shows Payam enter the complex at around 9.30am before going to Woolworths where he buys a knife. He conceals this in the left sleeve of his jacket before meeting Mr Naser around an hour later.

Shoppers later described how their conversation appeared friendly at first but soon after yelling and screaming broke out. Payam is captured grabbing Mr Naser around his back, throwing him to the ground and stabbing him at least four times.

He then sits down, before beginning the attack again, this time stabbing Mr Naser twice.

In the next 10 minutes before his arrest, Payam continues to intermittently attack Mr Naser’s body.

At one point - after lighting a cigarette - he appears to kick Mr Naser in the upper body.

Horrified bystanders could hear Payem tell his wife over the phone: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I love you”.

He later told police he didn’t intend to kill Mr Naser, saying he had only bought the knife on the spur of the moment.

“I swear to God that I didn’t want to kill him, I don’t know what happened. He provoked me, said very rude things,” Payam claimed.

His matter will return to court for further sentencing submissions at a later date.

Liberal Government and Socialist Opposition join forces to protect Australians from Free Speech by Troy Newman

Peter Dutton cancels visa of controversial anti-abortion campaigner

Lanai Scarr National Political Reporter
The Daily Telegraph
September 30, 2015 

A CONTROVERSIAL anti-abortion campaigner who has called for medical professionals involved in terminations to be executed has been banned from entering Australia for a planned speaking tour commencing next week.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed to News Corp Australia that he has cancelled Troy Newman’s visa after concerns were raised that his presence in the country could incite hate and violence against those women who have an abortion and the medical professionals who perform them.

Mr Newman, who hails from the United States, has written several books decrying abortion and labels women who have them “murderers”.

“I can confirm that my Department has cancelled the visa for Mr Troy Newman under Section 128 of the Migration Act,” Mr Dutton told News Corp Australia.

“Mr Newman can appeal for a revocation of this decision and no further comment will be made during this appeal period.”

Labor’s Terri Butler wrote to Mr Dutton this week calling for Mr Newman to be banned from the country.

Mr Newman was due to conduct a speaking tour as a guest of anti-abortion group Right to Life Australia.

He planned to hold a series of public events to campaign against Australian women’s reproductive rights and proposed laws to create a “buffer zone” around medical clinics.

“I am concerned that Mr Newman’s presence in Australia will cause significant harm to our community,” Ms Butler said in her letter to Mr Dutton.

“There is a risk that this will involve the harassment and intimidation of women accessing reproductive services and professionals offering those services at medical clinics, and result in their vilification within the community; especially vulnerable women.

“Mr Newman’s conduct may incite discord within the community and disrupt the ability of women to access lawful reproductive medicine.”

Mr Newman posted on his Facebook page a video of him being prevented from boarding a flight from Denver to Los Angeles and then onto Australia.

“RED ALERT!!! The Australian government has revoked my visa in midflight,” Mr Newman posted.

“I was pulled off a plane in Denver and told I could not travel to Los Angeles. And then on to Melbourne Australia. I am scheduled to speak on Friday at Right to Life of Australia’s main convention in Melbourne.

“It is clear that the pro-abortion crowd does not want anyone to hear the truth about Planned Parenthood’s illegal actions. Please pray for me I’m stuck in Denver airport like a man without a country.”

So what is it Terri Butler and her cheer squad want to stop Australian's from finding out about ?

No wonder Terri did not want this guy telling Australian's what she and her fellow progressives would rather stay secret

Mark Zuckerberg caught on HOT Mic saying Facebook will censor ANTI Migrant Posts

Facebook CEO tells German chancellor "we need to do some work"

by MIKAEL THALEN | INFOWARS.COM | SEPTEMBER 28, 2015

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was caught discussing the censorship of anti-migrant posts at the United Nations development summit Saturday while speaking with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

According to CNBC, the pair were picked up by a hot mic after Merkel confronted Zuckerberg on social media posts critical of “the wave of Syrian refugees entering Germany.”

After being asked about Facebook’s efforts to curtail speech, Zuckerberg stated, “We need to do some work,” confirming he’d already started looking at ways to hinder comments in opposition to Merkel’s immigration stance.

“Are you working on this?” Merkel asked. “Yeah,” Zuckerberg responded before their microphone was cut.

In response to the shocking revelation, media outlets such as Bloomberg immediately leapt to the defense of the tech giant, insinuating that any critique of the German government’s response to the migrant crisis would be “racist” and “xenophobic.”

Only just last week, an article by Infowars’ Kit Daniels examining the pope’s controversial comments on mass immigration was pulled and barred from Facebook without explanation.

Since the migrant crisis began, news outlets across the globe have both covered up crucial facts, specifically NATO’s responsibility in destabilizing Syria, and gone out of their way to outright ignore any stories that highlight the criminal acts of migrants.

Zuckerberg’s penchant for censoring speech deemed politically incorrect is unsurprising given his meeting late last year with Lu Wei, the czar of China’s authoritarian Internet censorship system.

It’s 1992 All Over Again

It’s 1992 All Over Again
A New Agenda 21 Threatens Our Way of Life

Tom DeWeese

If you had a time machine and could travel back to 1992 as the UN’s Earth Summit was underway, your efforts to abort this subversive policy would be aided by all you had experienced in the Orwellian world of “Sustainable Living”. You wouldn’t have to wonder what the NGOs who created it had in mind. You wouldn’t have to trust the news media to provide the details. You would know because you would have lived it. You would know that Nancy Pelosi’s open claim that Agenda 21 is a “comprehensive blue print” for the reorganization of human society was true.   And what’s more; you don’t like it!

We were told, without hesitation, that Agenda 21 was aimed at destroying free enterprise. That it is was a clarion call for humans to live on less and that Earth could no longer sustain the consumptive appetite of United States of America. They told us, but so many weren’t listening. It took over 15 years for many to finally understand the agenda of Agenda 21. By then it was firmly entrenched in every government agency, every community plan, and every school curriculum. So much so that many now say it is impossible to combat. That it’s a done deal.

Well, guess what, Agenda 21 is not a done deal and one of the main force to recognize that fact is the UN itself, along with a mob of enabling Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). And because it is not a done deal, they are all planning a new massive gathering to reboot Agenda 21 and force it across the finish line.

Over the weekend of September 25 – 27, 2015, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City thousands of delegates, UN diplomats, representatives of Non-governmental Organizations, heads of state and the Pope, will converge to present a new fifteen-year plan entitled “Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

Just as in 1992, they are openly telling us what the plan includes and how they intend to put it in force. The preamble to the plan says, “All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, WILL implement this plan.” It goes on to say, “We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind.” When I read these words I don’t glow with anticipation, I bristle with dread.

That, my friends, is a direct challenge and a threat to anyone who dares to disagree with the plan or stand in their way. They promise us that they “WILL” do it and it will be forced on everyone. Our experience with Agenda 21 over the past 23 years tells us what to expect.

Here are the seventeen goals to be presented and what they really mean:

Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere. The only answer the plan offers for eliminating poverty is redistribution of wealth. The document calls for “equal rights to economic resources.” That means government is claiming an absolute power to take away anything that belongs to you to give to whomever it deems more deserving. That is government-sanctioned theft. These are only Band-Aids that solve nothing. Tomorrow those on the bread lines will still need more. There is not a single idea in these plans to give the poor a way to earn their own wealth so they no longer need government handouts. The final result; a never ending cycle of poverty that will consume the middle class.

Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. UN documents go into great detail on controlling food supplies. They detail enforcing “sustainable farming tactics” which have been proven to force up the cost of food production while decreasing yield. It is basically the old Soviet practice of farm control that turned the bread basket of the world into non productive wasteland. The document details the use of government controlled seed and plant banks… “to ensure access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge as internationally agreed.” In other words, our future food sources will be put into the hands of politically connected bureaucrats who have never been on a farm. . Starvation on a massive scale will trim the population to more sustainable levels.

Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being of all at all ages. This means cradle to grave control over how and where we live and what we are permitted to eat. The healthy lives they promote means basically forcing us out of our cars and into walking and riding bikes as we are relocated into controlled high rise apartment buildings sanctioned by government. Meat will be out of the question as raising herds is not considered to be “sustainable. But don’t worry. Obamacare for all will deal with the predictable decline in health that is sure to follow.

Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. We have long known that lifelong learning is the means to continually apply behavior modification practices to assure we maintain the desired attitudes, values and beliefs to live in a global village

Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. The rainbow flag flies as we ignore Shariah law and its war on women.

Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation. Ask California how sustainable water control is working for them as these policies have torn down water systems and dams to “free the rivers.” The original pioneers found the land to be a desert. They built a sophisticated water control system that resulted in an emerald green paradise. Now, as Sustainable policies are being enforced, they are witnessing the return of the desert, destroying productive land. Meanwhile, across the nation, the EPA is moving to take control of all the water in the United States. Control the water, control the population.

Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Seriously? Their solution is to ban oil and enforce wind and solar power. Every study across the nation and around the world has proven that these “modern” energy sources are unreliable and force up the cost of energy. Some report health problems related to life under the turbines. Moreover, the carnage of the birds and bats that are being chopped up and fried by these “sustainable” energy practices goes against everything environmentalists told us about protecting species.

Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. One thing our 23 years of Agenda 21 have proven, there is no economic growth. European nations that implemented sustainable energy and water controls guidelines are now dumping those programs as fast as they can to save their economies. And who decides what is “productive” or “decent” work? Do we leave it to the bureaucrats to decide?

Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation. Oh come now. Sustainable industrialization means destroyed industry. No real industry can remain in business under a government managed economy with its shifting rules and constant increase in taxes. Government doesn’t create industry or prosperity. Our government’s real job is to provide protection of the market place so real innovators are free to create new ideas, industries and opportunities. Government itself is a job killer when it gets in the way.

Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries. This is another form of redistribution of wealth that forces industries from first world to third world nations. By using oppressive sustainable policies to drive up production costs, companies are forced to take their factories to the poorer nations. The second trick is to exempt those poorer nations from the very environmental rules and regulations that caused the factories to move in the first place. Can anyone explain how this helps the environment? It doesn’t. It simply makes everyone equally poor. This is also an assault on national sovereignty.

Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. This is Smart Growth which promises a utopia of families and neighbors playing and working together, riding bikes, walking to work in stress free communities. It really means the end of private property rights, single family homes, and stack and pack high rises where residents are over taxed, over regulated, rents are high and individual thoughts and actions are viewed as a threat to the “well-ordered society.” And by the way, the American Planning Association did a study to see if their smart growth plans worked and their own report concluded that Smart Growth doesn’t work.

Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. What more is there to say? Control from the top down.

Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Here it is! The root of the entire plan. Climate Change. How many scientific reports do real scientists have to present to show this is the greatest scam ever devised to create a reason for government to control every aspect of our lives? Well, here, let the Global Warming scare mongers tell you their true purpose in their own words:

“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony – climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” Christine Stewart (former Canadian Minister of the Environment). Justice built on a lie? And here is another quote to make it clear. “We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” Timothy Wirth (President, UN Foundation). The end justifies the means! Notice that Mr. Wirth is as concerned with the economy as he is with the environment.

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. Control the water, control society. This one is really aimed at destroying the oil industry in order to enforce wind and solar power. This is the UN pounding its chest to become the central global government it has always sought to be. It has no more right to the seas than it does to the air we breath or the surface of the moon.

Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss. Have you been watching the news as the greatest fires in history are destroying millions of acres of forests? Why is this happening? Because of sustainable forest management that refuses to allow the removal of dead trees from the forest floor. This creates a density of combustable material to fuel massively hot and unmanageable fires. If you want to save a forest, send an environmentalist back to his high rise in New York City where he belongs.

Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. This is Social Justice which really means social engineering. Have you ever once witnessed an “effective” or “accountable” institution coming out of the United Nations? By its very nature, the UN is unaccountable. Who would be the entity to oversee that accountability? Every one of these programs outlined in the 2030 Agenda creates money, power and unaccountability at every level of government. That is why government is now running out of control and people are feeling so hopeless in trying to deal with their governments. Goal 16 should be named the “Foxes Running the Hen House” goal.

Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. This means the re-boot of Agenda 21, because that was the original “global partnership.” This goal is a call for all of the treaties, plans and schemes devised in the massive UN meetings to be made the law of the globe. It is total global government and it is a sure highway to misery, destruction of human society, individual thought, motivation and dreams.

In 1992 they told us that Agenda 21 was just a suggestion. Today, after experiencing the “wrenching transformation” of our society that Al Gore called for, we know it was much more than that. And we have suffered the consequences as our economy has plummeted, as the middle class is disappearing, jobs are non-existent and the world is in turmoil.

Now the power elite which prey on the poor and helpless are determined to finish the job. They are fast moving toward the goal of eliminating individual nation states; controlling individual actions and wiping private property ownership from the face of the Earth. Their goal is to make us all “equal” in the same chains to assure none of us can disrupt their well ordered utopian nightmare.

Well, now our time machine has brought us back from 1992 to the present. As we disembark, one voice should be ringing in our ears. In clear and concise words we were warned of what Agenda 21 was designed to do. “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized nations collapse? Isn’t it out responsibility to bring that about?” The voice belonged to Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the UN Chairman of the Earth Summit as he delivered an official statement.

But here in 2015, the same forces are about to introduce the 2030 Agenda. We have the advantage of knowing what is intended. The 2030 Agenda to “Transform the World” is to be built on the ruins and desolation of a thousand such schemes for control over human life. Each time they have failed to achieve their lofty goals but have brought about a slow decline in liberty and self sufficiency. And each time they have come back with a new “plan.” The 2030 Agenda is Agenda 21 re-booted. But this time you and I don’t have an excuse to ignore it. We know what it is from the start. Now we have a new opportunity and the obligation to stop it dead in its tracks.   We’ve been given a second chance. Let’s not waste it.

Sydney's Hyde Park Muslim Insurgency Protestor Hamza Cheikho

Hamza Cheikho: Jury told to accept his role in the Hyde Park Muslim protest

Amy Dale Chief Court Reporter
The Daily Telegraph
September 30 2015.

A SUPREME Court jury was yesterday urged to accept that a man who participated in the Hyde Park Muslim protest should take responsibility for his part in working up the crowd.

Hamza Cheikho is suing Nationwide News, the publisher of The Daily Telegraph, for defamation over four articles published in the fortnight following the protest in September 2012.

The publisher is defending the proceedings on grounds ­including truth and honest opinion.

Tom Blackburn SC, counsel for Nationwide News, yesterday finished his closing ­address to the jury of two men and two women before submissions began from Mr Cheikho’s barrister, Tom Molomby SC.

Mr Cheikho, 22, was never interviewed by police nor charged in relation to the ­protests, which were sparked by Muslim outrage at a YouTube video that was deemed to be offensive to Islam.

The former junior rugby league coach claims the articles falsely depicted him, among other imputations, as a Muslim extremist who incites other Muslims to violence.

Mr Molomby told the jury his client had been portrayed in a “viscous distortion” as “one of the ringleaders, one of the activists, one of the troublemakers who had done this”.

“(But) he’s not in the front rank, he’s not in the pushing and shoving. He is a follower and not a leader,” he said.

Mr Blackburn reminded the jury that NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione had given evidence about the investigation after the protest as police attempted to work out why the day turned violent.

Mr Scipione gave evidence last week that the event, which resulted in the arrest of several men and injuries to police, could be classified as “a riot”.

Mr Blackburn told the court yesterday “no Australian gets praise for not being violent ­because that is an obligation that we all have”.

Mr Blackburn suggested to the jury Mr Cheikho “must take responsibility” for attending the protest and for encouraging others to attend via a post he made on Facebook.

The court has heard Mr Cheikho joined in with chanting at the US consulate on the day of the protests when the crowd shouted “Obama, Obama, we love Osama”.

Mr Cheikho has denied he chanted those words.

The hearing continues.

Salim Mehajer is now accused of threatening the family of a Sydney siege survivor. His colleagues, once again, say he has brought shame on their council.

Police Remembrance Day: Hundreds turn out to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice

Police Remembrance Day: Hundreds turn out to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice

THEY are the men and women who put their lives on the line on a daily basis to ensure the rest of the community remains safe and sound.

The members of the NSW Police see the best and worst of people on any given day.

From devastating accident scenes to telling the next of kin they have lost a loved one, dealing with violent criminals or picking up someone who has reached their lowest point.

Members of NSW Police have one of the most confronting and difficult jobs in society but it is also rewarding.

Occasionally though one of those members is lost as they do their job leaving a hole in the lives of their family and colleagues.

Since the NSW Police Force was first formed in 1862 there have been 252 officers that have died in the line of duty.

No tribute or salute can ease the pain of those who have lost their loved ones in the line of duty, says NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione.

Police, politicians and the families of fallen officers gathered at The Domain in Sydney today to remember those who paid the ultimate price.

The service included bible readings, live music, wreath laying and speeches by Premier Mike Baird and Deputy Premier Troy Grant.

Mr Baird said it was remarkable that someone would lay down their life for a friend but even more remarkable that they might do so for a stranger.

NSW Governor David Hurley said police are people who see beyond themselves and they prefer to give back to society rather than take.

Every day NSW police receive 300 emergency call-outs that could put officers in dangerous or volatile situations, he said.

“Our people join (the police force) knowing there could be a cost,” he said.

The most recent NSW officer to have died on duty was Detective Inspector Bryson Anderson who was killed in a knife attack in Sydney in December 2012.

Insp Anderson had gone to Fiona and Mitchell Barbieri’s rural Oakville property in Sydney’s northwest on December 6, 2012, after reports Mitchell had been firing arrows at his neighbour.

After a protracted siege at the home, Barbieri lunged toward Insp Anderson, plunging a hunting knife deep into the officer’s chest and causing his almost immediate death.

Mitchell Barbieri had been facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars — but as he was so significantly influenced by the schizophrenic delusions of his mother Fiona he was instead jailed for at least 26 years.

His 47-year-old mother Fiona, who the Supreme Court heard was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of “substantial impairment”.

She was been sentenced to a minimum term of seven-and-a-half years with a total term of 10 years for manslaughter and resisting arrest.

That same year Senior Constable David James Rixon was shot dead after pulling Michael Allan Jacobs over for a breath test.

Sen-Constable Rixon was shot once in the chest with a bullet fired from a .38 calibre revolver after approaching Jacobs’ stopped Holden Statesman for a random breath test early on March 2 2012.

The policeman returned fire and hit Jacobs three times, leaving the man with “an out of control drug addiction” critically wounded, before he collapsed from his injuries.

Jacobs almost died from his injuries but in his dying moments Sen-Constable Rixon had handcuffed Jacobs to arrest him.

A court heard Jacobs screamed “ah die, I’m sorry sir, sorry” just after the shooting and while “lying gravely wounded could be heard repeatedly saying ‘I’m sorry.’”

Jacobs was the first person to be convicted of murdering a police officer since legislation was introduced in 2011 to ensure such an offence is punished by a sentence of life with no parole.

But they are just two of many, following is a complete list of those who have died in the line of duty.
