"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"

Australia: NSW Schools now teaching that Hetrosexuality is not NORMAL


Being straight no longer normal, students taught

EXCLUSIVE by Miranda Devine 
The Daily Telegraph
October 17, 2012 12:00AM


STUDENTS at 12 NSW high schools are being taught it is wrong and "heterosexist" to regard heterosexuality as the norm for human relationships.

The "Proud Schools" pilot program, implemented in 12 government schools in Sydney and the Hunter, is designed to stamp out "homophobia, transphobia (fear of transsexuals) and heterosexism".

Teachers are given professional development to learn to identify and stamp out any instances of "heterosexist" language in the playground, such as "that's so gay".

But at least 10 Liberal MPs are "extremely concerned" about the program, and will complain to Education Minister Adrian Piccoli this week.

The program defines "heterosexism" as the practice of "positioning heterosexuality as the norm for human relationship," according to the Proud Schools Consultation Report.

"It involves ignoring, making invisible or discriminating against non-heterosexual people, their relationships and their interests. Heterosexism feeds homophobia."

The program should "focus on the dominance of heterosexism rather than on homophobia," according to the minutes from the Proud Schools steering committee on March 22, 2011.

The $250,000 pilot program was initiated by the Labor government but Mr Piccoli has overseen its implementation in terms three and four this year at six high schools in Sydney and six in the Hunter.

"It is envisaged that this program will be made available to non-government schools as well," he said last year.

Upper house MP Fred Nile yesterday attacked the program, calling it "propaganda" and promised to raise the issue in parliament.

"I'm totally opposed to the brainwashing of high school students, especially when they are going through puberty," Mr Nile said.

"Homosexuals at most make up 2 per cent of the population - I don't know why the education department would give priority to promoting this (program).

"We will have more confused teenagers than ever ... children should be allowed to develop themselves."

In June, Mr Piccoli pledged the government's ongoing support of the pilot.

But last night his spokesman distanced the Coalition from the project, saying it was launched by his Labor predecessor Verity Firth in 2010.

"Minister Piccoli has continued to support the initiative. Professional learning is being developed to assist schools provide a safe and supportive environment for all students. All schools encourage their students to speak to each other and treat each other in a respectful manner."

He said any material prepared by a "third party" would not be approved for use in NSW.

The pilot drew on a similar program in Victoria, the "Safe Schools Coalition" to "support sexual diversity" in schools, which holds that gender and sexuality are not fixed but fluid concepts. In Victoria, each participating school is advised to erect a noticeboard specifically for gay, lesbian, transgender and "gender-questioning" young people.

Mr Piccoli's spokesman said Proud Schools was not based on the Victorian model, and noticeboards would not be required in NSW.

A Proud Schools consultation report also recommended that schools review existing PDHPE programs from Year 7 to "incorporate learning about same-sex attraction and sexual diversity".

The program was based on LaTrobe University research that schools are the "primary site of homophobic abuse".

Refugee Action Coalition & Council for Civil Liberties demand end to punitive policies

Solicitors visiting asylum seekers now incarcerated at Silverwater prison are shocked at what they have seen. Stephen

Blanks, solicitor and secretary of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties briefly interviewed two of the 22 (mostly Iranians

and Kurds) locked up there. He said: “They are in solitary confinement, locked down for 18 hours a day with no access to

communication, either with each other or with the outside world. There are no toothbrushes, no showers, not even any

toilet paper.

“They’ve ended up in prison without any charges being laid and without any supervision from a court. I’ve lodged a

complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission. One of them told me that when he was forcibly removed from

his bed in Villawood early in the hours of Good Friday, that a guard pushed handcuffs into his wrist, and laughed.

Mark Goudkamp from the Refugee Action Coalition added: “These conditions in Silverwater are unacceptable in a

democratic society. It is also highly ironic given many Iranians detainees fled the Ahmadinejad government’s crackdown

on mass pro-democracy protests in 2009. That Australian authorities think treating people in this way is acceptable is

nothing short of scandalous. Australia frequently condemns human rights abuses in Iran, including in Tehran’s notorious

Evin prison.”

Meanwhile, a planned visit to celebrate Easter Sunday with Villawood detainees has had to be cancelled. Mark Goudkamp

said, “When I rang Serco yesterday, I was told we couldn’t visit friends in detention because Villawood is a ‘crime scene’.

Immigration and Serco are consciously trying to sow divisions among detainees, telling them that the reason visiting is

banned indefinitely is because the rooftop protest is continuing. That this ban includes Stage 1, which was completely

unaffected by Wednesday’s riots, is completely unreasonable and continues the rotten culture of collective punishment

that was a feature of detention under John Howard and Phillip Ruddock. The ban on visits over Easter is diametrically

opposed to the spirit of goodwill that this festive holiday is supposed to represent.

“Despite being prevented from receiving visitors, our asylum seeker friends are looking forward to a strong show of

support outside Villawood tomorrow afternoon. Acting PM Wayne Swan’s view that our march is inappropriate because it

coincides with Anzac Day are quite ridiculous when you consider that Afghanistan, where Australian soldiers are currently

being killed, is also by far the largest source country for asylum seekers. 2267 of the nearly 7000 people now in detention

come from there. Many democratically minded diggers, who themselves went to war thinking they were fighting against

dictatorships and repression, will understand why we are protesting. They are welcome to join us.”

The Sydney action, which is part of a national series of protests against mandatory detention, will assemble at 12 noon at

Chester Hill train station, before marching to the Gurney Rd side of Villawood. Former detainees from Iran, Afghanistan

and Iraq will address the rally, along with psychiatrist Michael Dudley, the Greens, the Teachers Federation, and the

Refugee Action Coalition.

Meanwhile at Curtin detention centre in remote WA, between 300-500 detainees are on hunger strike, and protesting

against the length of time it is taking to process their claims. Around 60 protesters have arrived after a two day bus

journey from Perth, hoping to visit detainees, and to protest against mandatory detention. There will also be a protest at

Maribyrnong detention centre in Melbourne.

Refugee Action Coalition Press Release Friday 22 April 2011

Refugee Groups Plan Show of Support for Villawood Detainees on Easter Monday

Following this week’s unrest at the Villawood detention centre, refugee rights advocates will stage a mass show of

support for Villawood detainees on Easter Monday, 25 April. Refugee supporters will meet at Chester Hill station at 12

noon, before marching to the Gurney Rd side of the detention centre for a rally in support of the detainees. Called by the

Refugee Action Coalition (RAC), the action is part of a nationwide series of protests outside detention centres planned

over the Easter weekend, including at the remote Curtin facility in Western Australia.

The rally will hear from refugees who were formerly detained: Najeeba Wazefadost (Afghanistan); Iraj Moghodam (Iran);

and Mohammed Ali Muttari (Iraq). Melina Adlparvar, an Iranian refugee separated from her husband who is inside

Villawood, will also speak. They will be joined by: Annie Neilson, Greens candidate for Fairfield in the NSW election; NSW

Teachers' Federation General-Secretary Jenny Diamond; and Mark Goudkamp, a long-term Refugee Action Coalition

spokesperson.

“The recent unrest in Villawood makes it extremely urgent to show community support for refugees”, said Nick Riemer

from RAC. “It’s an extraordinary irony that both Labor and Coalition politicians talk of refugees having committed

crimes. The damage to property on Wednesday night is nothing compared to the brutalisation of innocent lives caused by

mandatory detention itself. Asylum seekers haven’t committed any crime and shouldn’t be imprisoned. It’s not illegal to

arrive by boat and ask Australia for protection. When you lock people up and treat them like animals, it’s entirely

predictable that they will be driven to desperate acts. There have been five suicides in detention since September, three

in Villawood, and countless cases of self-harm. Hunger strikes happen all the time. If the government had acted on the

advice of leading psychiatrists, this week’s events could have been prevented. As one of the banners of the rooftop

protesters emphasises, they are human and deserve to be treated that way. If we’re talking about crimes being

committed, it’s the government who are the wrongdoers by sticking to their failed and discredited policy of mandatory

detention.”

“The rally will show solidarity with the refugees locked up in Villawood”, said Mark Goudkamp, also from RAC. “All

asylum seekers want is to escape the war and persecution that have driven them from their home countries. But instead

of treating them with decency, and allowing them to contribute to Australian society, the government locks them up.

Australia is the only Western country that does this. Monday’s protest can show that the Daily Telegraph’s politically

driven online polls by do not represent all Australians. 22 asylum seekers were forcibly removed from their beds on

Thursday night and transferred to Silverwater jail. On Christmas Island, police used tear gas and beanbag rounds on

asylum seekers. This is no way to treat refugees. Mr Bowen says he shares the anger of Australians about damage to

government property. Instead, Australians should direct their rage at the pointless violence and brutality inflicted on

asylum seekers. While Mr Bowen should be congratulated for supporting the idea of multiculturalism in Australia and

ending the Howard government’s disparagement of it, if he really means it, the policy of mandatory detention policy

must be immediately abandoned.”

“The government keeps refugees out of the public eye and detains them in inaccessible places”, said Riemer. “The

Gurney Rd entrance to Villawood is the only place from which we can make visual contact with them. Refugee Action

Coalition members are regular visitors to the detention centre. Our friends inside are looking forward to seeing a vocal

and colourful demonstration of support.”

“There’s significant support for refugees among Villawood locals, who remember what their suburb was like before the

barbed wire went up in the early 1990s,” Goudkamp added. “We expect that many residents will join us in showing

solidarity with the refugees.”

Frances Milne of Balmain for Refugees and tireless refugee advocate just called to say that the Fed Police are now assembling ladders to bring down the rooftop protesters. They protesters in turn are threatening to jump. If anyone can get out there NOW, please do.

Also, the police performed an operation last night inside Villawood, and snatched 22 mainly Iranian and Kurdish people, who were mostly already in bed, and transferred them to Silverwater prison. I will try to find out their names today, and hopefully a visit to the prison can be arranged. Report about this in The Australian, here: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/detainees-arrested-as-sydney-protest-continues/story-e6frg6nf-1226043242169 , and SMH here: http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/villawood-detainees-questioned-by-police-20110422-1dqxz.html

Melina, who was absolutely fantastic out at Villawood yesterday, gets a plug here on Channel 7. http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/newshome/9244925/poor-staff-training-blamed-for-villawood-riot/ Melina was involved in the democracy protests in Iran, and actually organised one at the Iranian embassy in Dubai after the killing of Neda. Her husband is inside. He has been three times rejected. She has visited him every day, from 12.30-7.45, for the past six months, and with Serco banning visiting yesterday, she joined us. When my energy levels were flagging late yesterday afternoon, it was her, her aunt, Hadi, the brother of Majid, one of the rooftop protesters, who kept me going. Melina is planning to stay out there 24 hours a day at least until our protest on Monday. When Fabia and I left at about 7.30pm, we left all the RAC placards and a pile of leaflets for Monday with Melina and the 15-20 other mainly Iranians who were going to stay there all night.

The SMH's Dylan Welsh has written a good report today, which also has quotes from Melina, as well as from Majid, one of the rooftop protesters.

There's plenty of negative news. The Daily Telegraph's poll, which asks "Do the Villawood asylum seekers have legitimate concerns?", is currently running at 7% yes, 93% no. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sydney-nsw/rooftop-detention-protest-at-villawood-detention-centre-worsens/story-e6freuzi-1226043096793
Jim Casey, state secretrary of the FBEU also did very well on the 7.30 Report http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/, by stressing that no members of the Fire Brigade union were injured, and saying that the attacks on firefighters have been exaggerated. Unfortunately, Jamal has made claims that firefighters were deliberately hosing down the rooftop protesters. They may have got wet while firefighters tried to put out the flames, but I refuse to believe that firefighters would have directly hosed down people whose building wasn't actually going up in flames.

On Lateline http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/, Sarah Hanson-Young did well, although she repeatedly evaded what I thought was a very good question by Tony Jones...ie. will the greens use their political leverage to block other key legislation in order to force a change to mandatory detention? They should!!

Meanwhile, a 17 year old Afghan detainee in Darwin has made a plea to the government not to send Afghan asylum seekers back to Afghanistan. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/04/22/3198622.htm

Th second story on the Lateline site is about allegations of an AFP officer actually being present when a deported Tamil asylum seekers was susequently tortured. There's also an ABC news report of this here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/04/21/3198514.htm

This is the same Federal Police who are now "taking charge" of the situation at Villawood, and who "took charge" of Christmas Island 6 weeks ago.

I met the reporter for Al Jazeera yesterday afternoon out at Villawood. He said he's planning a more lengthy piece on mandatory detention in the coming weeks. He's described what happened at Villawood on Christmas Island 'predictable' http://blogs.aljazeera.net/asia/2011/04/21/predictable-riot

Here's the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13153333

We now have three days until our protest at Villawood on Monday, 12pm at Chester Hill Station. We should strive to get the word out as far and wide as possible between now and then. We are holding a stall at the Woodville shopping centre next to Villawood station on Saturday 11-1. We have 100s of multi-lingual letters (English, Tamil, Arabic, Persian, Vietnamese, Mandarin and Spanish) that we have been putting into the letterboxes of people who live in the area around Villawood. I am also planning to leaflet the Michael Franti and Spearhead concert at the Enmore Theatre on Sunday night.

If anyone has other ideas, please go for it. I know there is a Food&Tunes festival at Adison Rd Marrickville tonight from 6-9, and an inner west rock gig at the Sandringham Hotel in Newtown from 1pm-midnight on both Sat and Sunday that should also draw a progressive crowd.

Our speakers so far are:
Iraj Moghadom (Iranian refugee)
Najeeba Wezfadost (Aghan refugee and spokesperson)
Adrian Francis (Tamil youth spokesperson, TBC)
Iraqi spokesperson (name TBC)
Jenny Diamond, General-Secretary, NSW Teachers' Federation
Annie Neilson (Greens candidate for Fairfield in recent state election)
Mark Goudkamp (Refugee Action Coalition)
ex-detainees, both speaking and playing music

Australia, UK: United Nations, aka. International Socialism’s agenda EXPOSED.

 

Thought police muscle up in Britain

Hal G. P. Colebatch
The Australian
April 21, 2009

BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state. As a sometime teacher of political science and international law, I do not use the term totalitarian loosely.

There are no concentration camps or gulags but there are thought police with unprecedented powers to dictate ways of thinking and sniff out heresy, and there can be harsh punishments for dissent.

Nikolai Bukharin claimed one of the Bolshevik Revolution's principal tasks was "to alter people's actual psychology". Britain is not Bolshevik, but a campaign to alter people's psychology and create a new Homo britannicus is under way without even a fig leaf of disguise.

The Government is pushing ahead with legislation that will criminalise politically incorrect jokes, with a maximum punishment of up to seven years' prison. The House of Lords tried to insert a free-speech amendment, but Justice Secretary Jack Straw knocked it out. It was Straw who previously called for a redefinition of Englishness and suggested the "global baggage of empire" was linked to soccer violence by "racist and xenophobic white males". He claimed the English "propensity for violence" was used to subjugate Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and that the English as a race were "potentially very aggressive".

In the past 10 years I have collected reports of many instances of draconian punishments, including the arrest and criminal prosecution of children, for thought-crimes and offences against political correctness.

Countryside Restoration Trust chairman and columnist Robin Page said at a rally against the Government's anti-hunting laws in Gloucestershire in 2002: "If you are a black vegetarian Muslim asylum-seeking one-legged lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you." Page was arrested, and after four months he received a letter saying no charges would be pressed, but that: "If further evidence comes to our attention whereby your involvement is implicated, we will seek to initiate proceedings." It took him five years to clear his name.

Page was at least an adult. In September 2006, a 14-year-old schoolgirl, Codie Stott, asked a teacher if she could sit with another group to do a science project as all the girls with her spoke only Urdu. The teacher's first response, according to Stott, was to scream at her: "It's racist, you're going to get done by the police!" Upset and terrified, the schoolgirl went outside to calm down. The teacher called the police and a few days later, presumably after officialdom had thought the matter over, she was arrested and taken to a police station, where she was fingerprinted and photographed. According to her mother, she was placed in a bare cell for 3 1/2 hours. She was questioned on suspicion of committing a racial public order offence and then released without charge. The school was said to be investigating what further action to take, not against the teacher, but against Stott. Headmaster Anthony Edkins reportedly said: "An allegation of a serious nature was made concerning a racially motivated remark. We aim to ensure a caring and tolerant attitude towards pupils of all ethnic backgrounds and will not stand for racism in any form."

A 10-year-old child was arrested and brought before a judge, for having allegedly called an 11-year-old boya "Paki" and "bin Laden" during a playground argument at a primary school (the other boy had called him a skunk and a Teletubby). When it reached the court the case had cost taxpayers pound stg. 25,000. The accused was so distressed that he had stopped attending school. The judge, Jonathan Finestein, said: "Have we really got to the stage where we are prosecuting 10-year-old boys because of political correctness? There are major crimes out there and the police don't bother to prosecute. This is nonsense."

Finestein was fiercely attacked by teaching union leaders, as in those witch-hunt trials where any who spoke in defence of an accused or pointed to defects in the prosecution were immediately targeted as witches and candidates for burning.

Hate-crime police investigated Basil Brush, a puppet fox on children's television, who had made a joke about Gypsies. The BBC confessed that Brush had behaved inappropriately and assured police that the episode would be banned.

A bishop was warned by the police for not having done enough to "celebrate diversity", the enforcing of which is now apparently a police function. A Christian home for retired clergy and religious workers lost a grant because it would not reveal to official snoopers how many of the residents were homosexual. That they had never been asked was taken as evidence of homophobia.

Muslim parents who objected to young children being given books advocating same-sex marriage and adoption at one school last year had their wishes respected and the offending material withdrawn. This year, Muslim and Christian parents at another school objecting to the same material have not only had their objections ignored but have been threatened with prosecution if they withdraw their children.

There have been innumerable cases in recent months of people in schools, hospitals and other institutions losing their jobs because of various religious scruples, often, as in the East Germany of yore, not shouted fanatically from the rooftops but betrayed in private conversations and reported to authorities. The crime of one nurse was to offer to pray for a patient, who did not complain but merely mentioned the matter to another nurse. A primary school receptionist, Jennie Cain, whose five-year-old daughter was told off for talking about Jesus in class, faces the sack for seeking support from her church. A private email from her to other members of the church asking for prayers fell into the hands of school authorities.

Permissiveness as well as draconianism can be deployed to destroy socially accepted norms and values. The Royal Navy, for instance, has installed a satanist chapel in a warship to accommodate the proclivities of a satanist crew member. "What would Nelson have said?" is a British newspaper cliche about navy scandals, but in this case seems a legitimate question. Satanist paraphernalia is also supplied to prison inmates who need it.

This campaign seems to come from unelected or quasi-governmental bodies controlling various institutions, which are more or less unanswerable to electors, more than it does directly from the Government, although the Government helps drive it and condones it in a fudged and deniable manner.

Any one of these incidents might be dismissed as an aberration, but taken together - and I have only mentioned a tiny sample; more are reported almost every day - they add up to a pretty clear picture.

Australia… New Strategies

 

Labor’s Paedophiles of the Mind

Students being directed to pro-asylum seeker websites in new campaign

John Masanauskas
Herald Sun
April 28, 2010

EDUCATION Minister Julia Gillard has urged schools to teach a "balanced'' curriculum after Victorian students were directed to a pro-asylum seeker website and encouraged to create political campaigns in a new multicultural agenda for state schools.

A resource kit urges students to design slogans, badges, bumper stickers and posters for display in classrooms and to question terms such as "boat people", "queue jumpers" and "illegals".

It also says schools should display welcome signs in different languages, become involved in events like National Sorry Day and Refugee Week, and invites students to spend quiet time meditating on their core beliefs and values.

Ms Gillard says a new national curriculum is under consideration and schools should be encouraging their students to learn every side of each story.

"We want to see people getting balanced information,'' she said.

"Thinking their way through, discussing questions - that's the journey of education ... We would expect them to be debating and to (be) looking at all sides of any proposition.''

Ms Gillard said research projects should be designed for students to draw their own conclusions on major issues.

"If you set a research project for students, you'd obviously want them to go to all potential sources of information. You'd want them to have the skills to evaluate the sources of information,'' she said.

The program, dubbed All of Us - Multicultural Perspectives in Victorian Schools, was devised by the Victorian Multicultural Commission and is endorsed by high-profile citizens including Governor David de Kretser.

The kit is part of a Brumby Government policy that calls for cultural diversity to be integrated into the curriculum rather than just experienced through dress-up days and food festivals.

The Education Department resource kit recommends that secondary students go to websites such as A Just Australia for myths and facts about asylum seekers.

AJA is a refugee lobby group founded by Left-wing broadcaster Phillip Adams that does not support mandatory detention of asylum seekers.

Students are asked to show support for refugees by writing personal action plans and to "brainstorm" ideas that could be taken up by the school council.

Swinburne University sociologist Dr Katherine Betts said the kit seemed biased.

"This is rather heavy duty stuff for school children and I'd worry that they would be in a position to evaluate the arguments that they're being exposed to," she said. "It's surprising that they're not being directed to alternative sources of information."

Liberal education spokesman Martin Dixon said the policy showed how out of touch the Government was on mainstream issues.

"Teachers and students are only being encouraged to explore one side of the refugee/illegal immigrant debate," he said. "It's not encouraging students to bring an open mind to the debate, it's guiding their thoughts towards what the Education Department says."

But Education Minister Bronwyn Pike said: "It is appalling that the Liberal Party want to stop Victorian students from learning about cultural diversity."

Teacher has sex with student 300 times under Husbands nose

Teacher 'had sex with 13-year-old boy 300 times'

A MARRIED teacher has been charged with seven counts of statutory rape after allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old schoolboy more than 300 times - including right under her husband's nose.

Police say Christine McCallum, 29, lived a disturbed double life for almost two years.

The Boston teacher is accused of having serial liaisons with the boy in Rockland and Abington from February 2006, when she allegedly took his virginity, to November 2007.

The lad told police they had sex for the first time on a couch at McCallum's home while her husband slept upstairs.

They also had unprotected sex in the shower, on the kitchen floor and on the living room floor, court documents say.

The Boston Herald reports that McCallum denies all the allegations, saying she took the boy and his brother in.

"She tried to mother the child because she felt sorry for them," her lawyer Frederick McDermott said.

Prosecutors claim McCallum weaved her way into the boy’s life in late 2005 when she became a tutor for his younger brother.

But within months she was allegedly giving them vodka and rum - and sleeping with him in her house.

Police said McCallum ended the relationship in a fit of jealousy when she discovered the boy was using a mobile phone she bought him to text other girls.

The alleged affair was uncovered last week when a friend of the boy told his mother.

I want to know how big is the Husbands nose?
I mean the average Aussie Guy could possibly go for 450 or 500 times over a month or so in the back seat of the car, however 300 times under the husbands nose is stretching it a bit,
surely its a case of case dismissed?
