War on Muslim Terrorism is OVER.... according to Kevin Rudd

Terror terminology in the firing line

IT'S official: The war on terror is over.

Nearly eight years after New York's World Trade Centre twin towers fell and US president George W.Bush stood amid the smoking rubble and vowed revenge, the phrase "war on terror" has been officially dropped from the Australian government lexicon.

The dumping of the phrase, criticised as a non-sequitur because terrorism is a tactic, not an entity, is part of a campaign by the Rudd government to change the way we talk about terrorism.

Attorney-General Robert McClelland yesterday launched the national rollout of "project lexicon", a joint study on the language surrounding terrorism.

Mr McClelland said the study, to be conducted with Victoria Police, the Victorian government and the Australian Multicultural Foundation, was part of a broader strategy aimed at countering radicalisation of young Muslim men.

Mr McClelland said several of the words or phrases used to describe terrorism had the inadvertent effect of glorifying violent criminal behaviour. He said rather than framing terrorism as a struggle by describing it as a "war" or "jihad", acts of terror should be described as serious criminal acts usually directed at innocent civilians.

"The general theme (of the research) is anything that suggests a war of cultures or religions," Mr McClelland told The Australian. "So the expression 'war on terrorism' has been identified as one that suggests that if you engage in acts of violence you're a soldier participating in that war."

Mr McClelland said the research into various hot-button terms would be a precursor to a discussion with the Muslim community and the media about how to describe terrorism. The aim would not be to proscribe the use of certain forms of language, Mr McClelland said; rather to make the media aware of the research.

Mr McClelland said Australia lagged behind other parts of the world in its counter-radicalisation activities. With the terror threat increasingly likely to be home-grown - rather than imported by al-Qa'ida or its various surrogates - this was potentially dangerous.

"I think a lot of good work has been done in Australia in terms of developing law enforcement capability, intelligence capability and, indeed, the legal framework," Mr McClelland said.

"But I think the area of countering violent extremism has been neglected."

Mr McClelland said the pugnacious language employed by the Howard government and the Bush administration was counterproductive.

He contrasted the combative approach of Mr Bush and John Howard to Barack Obama's speech in Cairo last month in which he called for dialogue between the Muslim world and the West. "(That) had far more impact in terms of the election of moderates, or a greater number of people prepared to vote for moderates, in both Iran and southern Lebanon," he said.

Rudd and his left wing loon pals can call Islamic Terrorists,their acts of terrorism and the threat's to destroy Western Judeo / Christian civilization any touchy feely name they like, however, calling Muslim Terrorists and their acts of Terrorism what they are NOT will, like the Burka, only hide their identities, but I guess that is what this latest act of treachery is all about.

If Rudd and his cabal of left wing loons believe that "come the revolution" they will be getting a "get out of jail card" from their Muslim pals, in exchange for the assistance rendered to these Anti Christ's they are in for a rude shock,the useful idiots are the first against the wall or to lose their heads, after all, no one trusts a traitor.

I love America........ BUT

Please give me a break !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The worlds most famous Paedophile is DEAD... so what?

Michael Jackson is DEAD ........ what the F**K ?
so what I don't hear of any cure for Cancer been left in his will.

Get over it!!!!

Start DRIPPING TEARS OF BLOOD over the next American serviceman or woman who gets blown into a million pieces by some Godless Muslim Savage in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Give me a F*****g break here will ya?

Yes, not everything was perfect in his life , then neither was everything perfect in MINE,or YOURS or for that matter neither was / is, it perfect in the vast overwhelming majority of Mankind.

The biggest difference between the average Human and Michael Jackson, is that the average Human has not, and will never get the breaks, ie talent, that Michael Jackson had, and if they did they would not abuse the POWER that, that talent manifests by sleeping with other peoples children.

Fuck you Jackson, no wonder the Muslims bailed you out of you financial problems and thought you qualified as such a suitable convert.. ooops "revert"

Like many members of the 'beautiful people" sect he died as a result of personal gratification, he died as a result of pleasuring HIMSELF illegally with prescription drugs.

Prescription drugs that the average American would only dream of been able to access as freely as he was able to do so, for REAL medical complaints,let alone to simply satisfy a self induced addiction to same as Jackson was pathetically serving.

There was I am sure one or two songs by Jackson that I liked and enjoyed,although I am unable to name them this minute.
The earth will continue to turn and the sun will indeed rise with or without Michael Jackson's breath.
I wish Jackson well and indeed hope he is able to find the peace,and honor in his after life that escaped him in this this life.

Hey!!! I just remembered the song I really liked, it was called "Who's Fat", by Al some one or other, yeah, that was my favorite Michael Jackson hit song for sure.

PS. to all you Fox fans wondering why Fox is donating so much air time to Jackson and the associated Circus, it's because the owner of Fox,Rupert Murdoch OWNS Sony Music.

Rudd $100 Million for Hamas $1.5million for Italian earthquake victims

Rudd promises to match earthquake funds

News.com.au
July 03, 2009 10:10pm

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has promised to match funds raised by Australia's Italian community to help victims of the deadly earthquake that devastated central Italy in April.
Mr Rudd addressed the Italian-Australian Fundraising Dinner in Melbourne tonight ahead of a trip overseas next week that will include an economic forum in the devastated Italian Abruzzo region.

The Prime Minister said the Italian community in Australia had already raised substantial funds towards rebuilding, with a radio-a-thon on national Italian radio station Rete Italia attracting $300,000 in one weekend.

"Where you make such an effort, the Government should also pitch in," he said.

"That is why I have decided that we will match the Italian community's fundraising efforts dollar-for-dollar up to a level of $1.5 million."

An earthquake of 6.3 magnitude hit the city of L'Aquila on April 6 this year killing nearly 300 people, injuring 1500 and leaving 40,000 homeless.

Mr Rudd, the patron of the Australia-Abruzzo Earthquake Appeal Fund, heads off overseas on Monday for meetings in Malaysia and Germany before he meets world leaders attending the 17-nation Major Economies Forum in L'Aquila.

He said he would see firsthand the consequences of the devastation.

"I will carry with me, on your behalf, a message of solidarity, support and goodwill to the Abruzzesi and to their future," he said.

Many prominent Italian-Australians attended the dinner, including former Victorian governor and Supreme Court judge James Gobbo, current Supreme Court judges Tony Pagone and Bernard Bongiorno and building magnate Bruno Grollo.

Mr Rudd continued his habit of delivering greetings in foreign languages telling the audience in Italian that "Australia wouldn't be the country it is without Italians".

Before visiting Italy he will meet with Football Federation president Sepp Blatter in Zurich to sell Australia as a World Cup venue.

He also announced Australia and Italy had signed a science research agreement on developing radio telescopes that aim to look deeper into the universe than ever before.

"And during my visit next week we will take the next step in that collaboration when Australia and Italy sign an agreement to provide for cooperation on the international Square Kilometre Array project, a cutting edge global project, to build a group of radio telescopes to help us look into the deepest history of the universe," he said.

"For us, having the home of Galileo Galilei on our side would be very important"


"That is why I have decided that we will match the Italian community's fundraising efforts dollar-for-dollar up to a level of $1.5 million."

If only Kevin 07 had of made the same commitment on behalf of Australian taxpayers that he made to Hamas / "PA" the INNOCENT Italian victims of a natural disaster would be far better off.

Kevin 07 has so far given $100 MILLION to his pals at the United Nations to re arm and re supply Hamas, so as they are able to kill more Jews,in their UN sponsored war on Jews, Christians and Infidels.

So if you are the innocent victim of a natural disaster,in this case an earthquake,and you live in Italy the home of the leader of the Catholic / CHRISTIAN/ NON Muslim world you get $1.5 million from the Kevin Rudd Marxist funded,United Nations subservient,Labor Socialist Government,however if you are committed to the elimination of Israel and ALL non Muslims,aka Infidels, Rudd and his pals will extract over $100 million of Australians taxpayers money and gleefully hand it over to MUSLIM TERRORISTS so as they are enabled to continue on their Godless murderous Satanic inspired rampage throughout the Middle East and eventually the western world.

Kevin Rudd's spin puts spell on Canberra press gallery

Imre Salusinszky
The Australian
July 03, 2009

KEVIN Rudd may have failed to emulate Bob Hawke's "love affair with the Australian people", but his honeymoon with much of the media shows no sign of losing its ardour after 18 months in office.

Rudd's triumph has been to water down a ruthless political will with a warm-and-cuddly persona that has been sold to the public on media platforms that were regarded as beneath his predecessor, John Howard.

Members of Team Howard, including the former prime minister, have been shaking their heads at Rudd's extraordinary exertions of spin and the tolerance of the Canberra press gallery towards the exercise.

Those more sympathetic to Rudd, such as former Labor pollster Rod Cameron, believe the Prime Minister's smooth ride has come courtesy of discipline and good management, plus the disarray among the Coalition.

Cameron sees Rudd's strategy of working the talk shows as a logical extension of Howardism. "Howard broke the mould by ignoring highbrow media and going to commercial talkback, and Rudd has just taken it a step further and gone to somewhat trashier radio and television," Cameron said.

The recent Rudd spin cycle involved the studied alternation between bloodthirsty displays in parliament over the OzCar affair and soft media appearances, such as last Sunday's effort on Rove, which included a photo-shoot with Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego, Austrian fashionista Bruno.

See Kevin 07 endure the hard hitting and relentless questioning of none other than Rove,caution xxx it's not for the feint hearted.

Senior Liberal frontbencher Tony Abbott said yesterday it was not hard to tell who was the funnier - Rudd or Bruno - but added that it was harder to say who was the more "phoney".

While Rudd was attacking News Limited newspapers yesterday about their coverage of the OzCar affair and wastage in the government's $14.7 billion Building the Education Revolution program, he was following through on his on-air promise to TV host Rove McManus to send a Twitter with the line "It's Twitter time", which prompted McManus to reply: "You rule! (and not just because you are our elected leader)."

None of this seems to have aroused the suspicion, or even the scepticism, of much of the Canberra press gallery.

"He has had a very good run," Howard said yesterday of Rudd's treatment at the hands of the gallery over the past 18 months.

"Most working journalists will cut a centre-left government more slack than a centre-right government - that's the culture of the cohort. I certainly didn't have much of a honeymoon. There is a different culture, and I always knew that to be the case."

In stark contrast to Howard, whose medium of choice was talkback radio, Rudd has made a specialty of forums such as FM radio and Rove. His latest appearance on the Ten Network talk show was no doubt inspired by Barack Obama's Tonight Show appearance with Jay Leno in March.

"The reason I didn't do that kind of media is that I didn't think I would be very good at it," Howard told The Australian.

"But I also thought the prime minister oughtn't to do too much of that stuff. I took the view that my responsibility was to go on serious programs. Although I did do talkback radio, I didn't avoid the serious interviews.

"I had frequent press conferences and I would often go until they were getting agitated and wanted to file."

While there is certainly nothing wrong with a prime minister discussing his use of a hair-dryer with Rove McManus - or engaging him in exchanges via Twitter - that was not the universal judgment on Howard's talkback appearances with Neil Mitchell in Melbourne and Alan Jones in Sydney. In an essay in Stifling Dissent, a 2007 collection edited by Clive Hamilton and Sarah Maddison, Helen Ester argued that the Howard strategy of daily talkback appearances had "diminished other democratic institutions, including the parliament itself".

Based on interviews with a dozen senior Canberra journalists, Ester said: "Their perspectives show that the last decade has seen an increased focus on strategies to block and control access to information flows from the gaze and analysis of the critical expertise of journalists in the parliamentary round."

Howard said: "I used talkback radio, and of course some of the Canberra gallery resented that, because it removed them as gatekeepers. When you do news conferences, you are in the hands of editors and journalists about what is used. If you do talkback radio, at some point your argument cannot be filtered."

One claim frequently advanced against Howard's media strategy was that he avoided "hostile" interviewers such as Kerry O'Brien on the ABC's 7.30 Report.

"That's absolute nonsense," Howard said. "In the last few years I was PM, I can't think of more than a handful of occasions where he'd ask me and I'd say no.

"I don't think anybody would say Kerry O'Brien was a friendly journalist, but it was a serious political program."

Similar criticisms have not been directed at Rudd, despite his blanket ban on appearing with Jones.

"The evidence is he won't go on the program," Howard noted. "I also regularly went on (John) Laws, including in the early years when Laws still carried a torch for (Paul) Keating."

Jones thinks Rudd is running scared. He told The Australian yesterday: "Rudd won't appear on tough forums because he doesn't like criticism and he has no comprehension of detail.

"He's simply not across the detail. It's fine if everything's written down in front of him and he can go unchallenged, which of course happens in the parliament. But on talkback radio, you're not unchallenged.

"Kevin Rudd last week was talking about fakes and frauds. I think many Australians understand to whom those epithets appropriately apply. As for the business of appearing on Rove, no one can be critical of the program but you have to question whether that's the forum in which the Prime Minister is going to be asked to answer important matters of state. It's because he knows he won't be asked, or if he is it will be in a humorous and frivolous way, that he again finds this comfortable, avoiding the detail and the criticism."

Sydney public relations consultant John Wells said Rudd's exploitation of the talk show format showed a different temperament from Howard's, but also a generational shift.

"Rudd is much younger, has grown up in a different technological age, and the people around him are much more savvy at new media and the importance of having younger people vote Labor," Wells said.

"Rudd's performance on Rove was very good. He turned up after a week of absolute mudslinging in the parliament with Turnbull.

"They would have had that programmed in advance of that previous week, and having had the outcome they did and all the shenanigans over 'Utegate', it would have reinforced their thinking that 'We've got to get out of here and soften that harsh, argy-bargy parliamentary persona into a softer positioning'."

Howard's former chief of staff Arthur Sinodinos has been impressed, in a perverse sort of way, with Rudd's forays into that region of the media where presenters go by nicknames and the most profound issues are of the "what gets your goolies" variety.

"Rudd is very good on the spin and has a good machine for doing that," said Sinodinos, who now works in the finance sector and is being touted for a federal parliamentary career.

"He also feels part of his success was picking up that younger constituency, so doing Rove or FM radio or social media stuff is all part of continuing to cultivate that constituency. Rudd is being all things to all people.

"I think there are a lot of them (in the press gallery) who fundamentally are more sympatico with Rudd in terms of his social outlook and policies, but it's not clear they are giving him an easy run. A lot of them are quite sceptical."

Labor PR consultant Bruce Hawker sees a rhetorical gulf between Rudd and Howard driving their media strategies.

"Howard was like your family solicitor - no nonsense, almost taciturn," Hawker told The Australian. "He really wouldn't have been comfortable opening up on a program like Rove. Rudd is still finding his feet."

Wells believes Rudd has received a softer ride than Howard from the media - although he adds this could easily shift with longevity. One point he does make is that if a fake email had surfaced in 1997, suggesting Howard had sought special favours for a mate, the reaction would have been "hysterical" and would have survived the unmasking of the lie.

"If you relate it to children overboard, that was hysterical," Wells said.

But it is likely there are deeper cultural reasons why a lie against Rudd evaporated in nanoseconds, whereas a lie against Howard was guaranteed to linger in the political ether indefinitely.

Journalists, after all, have limited scope to shape the historical narrative, compared with the vast ballast of the intelligentsia in universities, non-government organisations and the arts.

A quick survey by The Australian has revealed nobody in any of these institutions is planning a book called Stifling Dissent or His Master's Voice just because Rudd has doubled the number of spin doctors employed by the government, or branded the work of Australia's most celebrated photographer "disgusting".

"The 1970s saw an almost irreversible penetration of some of those institutions by the Left, and you just have to find other means of turning it around," Howard said. "It creates an automatic scepticism and tension once you have a centre-right government, or a centre-left government that doesn't behave the way it is expected to behave, like Tony Blair."

Australian Prime Minister & Australian Labor Party leader Kevin Rudd, was successful in winning the Australian 2007 Federal Election.
Kevin Rudd and his party's success was due in no small part,to the overwhelming support of the Australian media and their hangers on in the Film,Arts,TV and "beautiful people" industries.

The 2007 Labor Party campaign was assisted by spin doctors and stratigists from American Democrats and approximately 100 foot soldiers from the Chinese Communist Party.

The same bumper sticker slogans and trendy one liners were employed by Labor,Rudd and their media groupies to convince (successfully) the Australian voters, that were later modified and used for the Hussein Obama Campaign in 2008,that there was something wrong with having the most prosperous and fastest growing western economy in the world,that there was something wrong with having pratically no unemployment, that there was something wrong with having NO illegal entrants via the Middle Eastern refugee boat people express, that there was something sinister or indeed "clever" about an Australian PM who dared say to the world and Muslim people smugglers "We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances under which they come.",that there was something immoral for an Australian Government requiring that immigrants speak English and swear alligience to Australia and that the Australian culture be the paramount culture in Australia,that there was something wrong with the Howard Government having re paid the previous Hawke /Keating Labor Governments $96 billion DEBT and that it was even worse for the Howard Australian Government to have a $28 Billion IN THE BANK.

Some 2 years after Rudd's election the media spin doctors are telling Australians that an extra 100,000 Australians are now unemployed,Australians have lost 35% of their personal wealth since Rudd and his party of ex Union Officials,school teachers,affirmative action appointee's,"carers and sharers" took control of the nations purse strings, Australians are now in $300 billion DEBT and there is NO money in the bank,is, like their immigration policy,is a sign that the Rudd Governments economic policies are working.

Yes!!!! the Rudd Marxist Funded International Socialist Labor Governments policies ARE working, Australia is descending BACK into the economic and social dark ages that the Conservative Liberal Howard Government dragged Australia out of.

The Rudd Governments media cheer squads are reluctant to spruik the following on their tonight shows and ABC Kevin 07 infomercials,aka Hard hitting current affairs and investigative journalism.

THE Federal Police are investigating a fake email _ why not also investigate Kevin Rudd’s fake 2007 election policies?

There were the big promises and there were the little promises and all of them were dodgy. Remember that pledge to bring Iran’s rulers before the International Criminal Court at the Hague? That was a biggie. Out of left field but phoney.

Two years later and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is now brazenly facing down an uprising with barely a word from Rudd or Foreign Minister Stephen Smith.
Then there was the promise to save the Murray-Darling River system and the Great Barrier Reef. This was patently false. Nothing the Rudd Government can possibly do will increase rainfall to or alter the Reef’s fate.

Migrating whales off the NSW Coast are a reminder of the fake promise to send the Royal Australian Navy to protect whales from the Japanese whaling fleet.

Then there is the $21 million wasted on the false FuelWatch promise. The last bowser I passed showed unleaded was still close to $1.30 a litre and the last

news item I read indicated that the fuel companies were still intent on squeezing profits no matter what the Government was telling them.

Which brings us to GroceryWatch. Despite spending more than $13 million on a promise that was dead on arrival, the Rudd Government maintained this promise was still viable until it was put down last Friday when media attention was diverted by Michael Jackson’s prescription drug death.

GroceryWatch was an extension of the phoney war Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan waged against the former Howard government over inflation while the global economy was melting down.

Treasury’s modelling and Treasury’s experts failed to spot the trend as did Swan and Rudd. They were too focussed on the phantom Inflation Genie to notice what was happening in the real world.

Fortunately they had the Howard-Costello surplus to use as a cushion but that has not prevented them wasting the legacy of future generations on a reckless spending spree.

Remember Rudd’s promise to be a fiscal conservative? False.

Just look at the cost blow-out for his national broadband network _ from $4 billion to $7 billion to $43 billion _ to cover fewer households than the cheaper model promised by the former government.

Then there were the promises to give a boost to the alternative energy industry _ and the slashing of the solar energy rebate scheme before it was due to end, the phasing out of the LPG conversion scheme, the promise of flood relief to the NSW North Coast, the dental scheme that delivers less than the old plan and the cuts to rebates for those needing life-changing cataract surgery.

Still to come are the job losses which will flow from the flawed industrial relations changes and any sign of the government stemming the flow of unlawful arrivals on the north west coast.

Whatever happened to the promised openness and transparency that the Rudd Government promised to deliver? For that matter, whatever happened to Rudd’s oath: The buck stops with me?

If the AFP want to get to the Mr Bigs of fakes and phonies, it should go straight to the top and get a warrant to search the Lodge.

Liberal Party, (Conservative) opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull has recently shot himself in the foot, he fell hook line and sinker for an opportunity he and his dumb arsed advisers thought was too good to miss, the"Rudd / Grant email" was it seems, something Turnbull was prepared to caste aside all his legal brilliance and caution for,in exchange for the opportunity to deal Rudd a death blow, getting Rudd out of the way before the next federal election,as we all now know the email was a fake, yaddah yadda yadda blah blah blah.

If only Australia's media was as vigilant in telling Australian's before the 2007 election of Rudd's BIG LIE concerning the circumstances of the death of his Father and Rudd's slandering of the Docteors and Nurses who attended him in hospital for six weeks before he died,after he filled himself with booze all day,and then attempted to drive his car home,thankfully only wrapping his own car around a telegraph pole and no one else.

Personally I have great sympathy for Rudd's childhood circumstances and admiration for his Fathers attempts to provide for his family,they are similar to my own,what disgusts me is Rudd's manipulation of the facts of same for the benifit of some Labor / Communist Party "Dream Time Mythology"

Rudd's deliberate missrepresentation of the facts concerning his Fathers death,are, like his orchestration of the destruction of evidence concerning the gang rape of an Aboriginal child,what is now known as the "Heiner Affair",are but two of many insights that exposed his smirking creepy dishonest character, hey no wonder Australia's Hollywood Wannabees love him so much.

What of Treasurer Wayne Swan,Rudd's hapless bumbling treasurer ? Turnbull is surely not going to allow Swan off the hook just because he got it wrong on the Rudd / Grant email , even if the Labor media apolgists are prepared to do so, for Swan the email Turnbull was hoping was going to slit Rudd's throat,was indeed a TEMPORARY God send.

I am sure Rudd is more than glad he is not Wayne Swan.... btw. Wayne when does Federal Parliament resume again ?

Australia: Ban unAustralian burka "I abhor the burka, and the niqab. I hate what it does to women" Virginia Haussegger.

Ban unAustralian burka

By Virginia Haussegger
27 June 2009
This article first appeared in The Canberra Times, 27th June 2009

I’ve seen it elsewhere around the world, but I didn’t expect to see it here. Certainly not on a hot summer’s afternoon at the Canberra Centre. But there it was. A ghostly figure walking towards me, clad from head to toe in a heavy black niqab, black gloves and dark shoes. She was trailing along behind her husband and four little children.

The sight of this hideously shrouded figure in an Australian shopping mall is confronting and offensive. And it makes me angry, very angry.

I wanted to stop and ask why she had such disrespect for herself and our culture that she would hide her face and body under all that black cloth, designed to render her shapeless and inhuman. But her husband shot me a glance, and I was silenced. Dumbfounded.

I abhor the burka, and the niqab. I hate what it does to women. I am appalled that women are separated from the world in this way. And I am furious that some women will continue to choose to wear it. But then, throughout history, feeble women who are afraid of modernity, have always been complicit in their own oppression.

The burka, with its tiny window of mesh over the eyes, and the niqab, with its letter-slit opening, is a tool of patriarchy used to subjugate women. This shroud of cloth thrown over women defies freedom. It is a symbol of control. Wearing it signifies an acceptance of segregation of the sexes. The cultures which demand such segregation are societies in which men are considered the natural superiors to women.

The fact that western, democratic governments allow this garb to be worn in secular societies is evidence that ‘gender equality’ and the ‘liberation of women’ are still just vague aspirations, mouthed with weak intent. Unless of course you’re French.

In an historic address on Monday the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, called for an outright ban on this hideous instrument of control. “The burka is not a sign of religion” he said, “It is a sign of enslavement. It is a sign of subservience”.

His rally cry has been brewing for years, as the French parliament has watched with alarm the growing number of burkas and niqab’s appearing in French cities. The Urban Affairs Minister, Fadela Amara, who is also a passionate advocate for Muslim women’s rights, says the ugly shroud is akin to putting a woman in a “tomb”. She’s called on France to “stop burkas from spreading”.

It’s a tough call, given there are around 5 million Muslims in France. The 2004 ban on wearing hijabs at school, or in public offices, was met with furious protests around the country. A ban on the burka has the potential to ignite riots. Sarkozy knows that. And yet he is still determined to push ahead. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd must do the same.

The burka is not yet common here, but it’s only a matter of time. Australia is positioned in a region being transformed by the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. Radical Islam’s plan for domination is utterly incompatible with women’s equality. Put bluntly, Islamic fundamentalists view Australia, and all western democracies, as immoral and decadent - because the women are free.

Australia must not allow that radical and overt tool of fundamentalism, the burka, to be worn here. It defies our cherished values of equality and freedom.

Wearing the burka - or niqab -in Australia is an aggressive way of saying 'I will not integrate into your society, and I care nothing for the cultural mores and social traditions of this country'. Instead, the woman wearing it is demonstrating that she would rather submit to gender apartheid, than embrace the social norms of this place. The burka is an arrogant display of disrespect to Australia and the Australian way of life.

Covering women like this, and rendering them sexless and shapeless, is apparently to stop men looking at them. It is to ensure the sexual urges of men are not stirred or tempted. It is also a fierce display of proving a man’s power over his woman, and ownership of her.

The Koran calls on both men and women to display modesty. Why then don’t men wear burqas? Women too are sexual beings, who may also have their urges stirred and tempted by the sight of a man. But of course that doesn’t register in societies that view females only as sexual objects and temptresses.

By covering herself in a burka, a woman is relinquishing the right to express herself as a female. She is agreeing to suppress her own sexuality.

For a woman to argue she feels more comfortable hidden beneath her burka, away from the gaze of men, is unacceptable in modern society. Such a claim represents total submission to sexual subordination. That sort of thing might have been understandable - perhaps even forgivable - when women were uneducated and utterly dependent on men for food, shelter and protection. But women must no longer agree to such secondary status. And most certainly, not when they are in Australia.

There is no place here for the burka. Australians must rally to have the burka banned.

This Australian woman has balls, she is an employee of the Australian Labor party's information and publicity bureau the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, ABC.

I fear she will either be polishing Kevin 07's shoes or will be added to Kevin 07's rapidly growing "stimulus" generated unemployment line.

Burka-Wearing Prompts The Return Of In Rickets In Birmingham

NSS

A new health awareness campaign has been launched among Muslim women by health officials in the Midlands after a rise in the number of cases of rickets.

It is thought that pregnant women who regularly wear a burka are depriving themselves of exposure to sunlight, which results in Vitamin D deficiency.

Sixty-five children in Birmingham have needed hospital treatment in the past three years for rickets, a disease which was thought to have died out in Victorian times. And health bosses fear this may be the tip of the iceberg with more cases of the illness, which affects bone development, not being formally diagnosed. Now they have invested £150,000 to fight the rise of rickets among infants in inner city Birmingham.

The wearing of burkas by Muslim women is thought to have contributed to its recent resurgence. A spokesman for the Heart of Birmingham Primary Care Trust, which is heading the campaign, said: “Anecdotal evidence suggests that mothers and babies from some minority ethnic communities may be more affected. This is because women traditionally do not expose their skin to sunlight. However, Vitamin D deficiency can also be due to confinement in the home, diet, mal-absorption syndromes and liver or kidney disease. Deficiency is easily counteracted with Vitamin D supplements.

Dr Jacky Chambers, director of public health at Heart of Birmingham primary care trust, added: “Women who cover up for cultural reasons may be at higher risk of Vitamin D deficiency. In addition to taking Vitamin D supplements, we are urging mothers to help themselves to get some sunlight. They should make sure they are exposed to the sun, without burning, for a short time each day.”

Hoxton Park Residents vow to fight

Islamic school in court win, at Hoxton Park

By Vikki Campion, Urban Affairs Reporter
The Daily Telegraph
July 01, 2009 12:00am

AN 800-student Islamic school to be built in the middle of a housing estate has been given the final go-ahead as a raft of other rejected Islamic schools take their fight to the courts.

The new campus for one of NSW's top 10 schools, Malek Fahd Islamic, has been given a final nod to build in Sydney's southwest while at least three other Muslim schools struggle to set up amid thousands of objections.

Residents of Hoxton Park led a nine-month campaign of rallies, protests, petitions and letter-drops against the school but it was given approval by Liverpool Council on Monday night.

Residents believe another school will worsen daily commutes as narrow cul-de-sacs become major thoroughfares but Islamic groups fear there are racist undertones to the objections.

A 1200-strong Al Amanah College will be built in Bass Hill after it was twice knocked back by Bankstown Council - a decision later overturned by the Land and Environment Court.

And the 600 student Qaadiri school at Austral, which was knocked back by Liverpool Council, is due to go before the court this week.

Camden Council's rejection of the Quranic Society's 1200-student school at Camden was upheld last month.

Independent school development is slow, with only three in greater Sydney hitting planning tables each year.

NSW Association of Independent Schools executive director Geoff Newcombe said "traffic" had become code for "prejudice".

"It seems more than a coincidence that each time an Islamic school applies to set up, there are objections about traffic congestion," he said.

Most Islamic students go to public schools rather than try to squeeze in on a waiting list to one of only 14 Islamic institutions in Sydney. In the same area, there are 74 Anglican schools, 80 Christian, and 625 Catholic schools.

"There is a huge demand or we would not be doing this," said school spokesman Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Ikebal Patel.

"It is better that we teach Muslim students in a controlled environment, with our vision vetted by the NSW Education Department, than have them educated in backyard garages."

Liverpool mayor Wendy Waller said roads would be widened to cope with extra traffic.

People smugglers take control of Australia's Refugee Program

The Hon Dr Sharman Stone MP
Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship
Mon, 29th June 2009

“More than 1,000 asylum seekers have now arrived in Australia since the Rudd Government softened our border protection policies last August,” Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Dr Sharman Stone said today.

“Along with the more than 1,000 intercepted by the Indonesian authorities on our behalf, this means that almost 20% of Australia’s refugee program is controlled by people smugglers.”

“Instead of taking measures to strengthen our borders, or even to “talk” tough, the Labor Government sent another message to people smugglers this week that the back door is still open. Legislation abolishing detention debt was passed by the ALP last week, yet it was a principle that should have been retained.

“The Rudd Government’s softening of a raft of measures designed by former Labor and Coalition Governments to shut down this vile trade is clearly being used by the people smugglers as evidence that Australia has given them the green light to recruit more and more customers; endangering more and more lives.

“These measures include the planned introduction of complementary protection visas, abolishing the 45-day rule, weakening the s.501 character provisions and the Minister’s intervention to approve 650 refugee visas refused by the Refugee Review Tribunal.

“The people smugglers clearly have a well oiled pipeline to Australia and they are taking control of Australia’s refugee program. The Rudd Labor Government is silent about who these people are; where they’ve come from; how many have been given permanent residency; what their connections are with Australia; how long they have been living in safe third countries; and the role of the Minister’s secret “expert panel” in reviewing the department’s decisions to refuse to grant these people visas.

“The need for an inquiry into the linkage between the softening of policy and the surge in arrivals, as called for by the Coalition, is long overdue and its time this Labor Government looked at the evidence and toughened up about people smugglers,” Dr Stone concluded.

In case you missed it: BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state....

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.

UPDATE.

UK bill an attack on faith

Hal G.P. Colebatch
The Australian
June 30, 2009

I WROTE here in April that Britain appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state, but it seems I didn't know the half of it.

A sinister new equality bill is before a parliamentary committee. So far there has been surprisingly little about it in the British media, although the Catholic Church has called attention to the fact it would give the government unprecedented powers to police not only public but private religious and other activities.

The Thomas More Legal Centre's director Neil Addison recently said that under this bill, "nearly every form of discrimination is banned, even for private associations and churches. Christian churches are to be banned from preferring Christians in their employment practices except in the employment of priests or religious teachers. They are not going to be able to insist that employees live in accordance with the ideals or principles of the church, and any employment or membership decision they take can be investigated by an unelected quango, the Equality and Human Rights Commission."

This is only the first stage. The Catholic bishops of England and Wales have warned that religious schools and care homes could be forced to remove crucifixes, holy pictures or other religious symbols or icons from their walls in case they offend atheist or non-Catholic cleaners. Under the terms of the bill, Catholic institutions could be guilty of harassment if they display images offensive to non-Catholics.

Ordinary laws already offer protection from harassment in the normal course of events. The draft bill defines harassment in the widest possible terms as "unwanted conduct ... with the purpose or effect of violating a person's dignity, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading or offensive environment".
The bishops, after taking legal advice, say that because the burden of proof for such a highly subjective definition is reversed in legal proceedings under the terms of the bill, it would put them in an impossible position if people complained about any manifestation of religious belief, even on church property.

Andrew Summersgill, the general secretary of the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales, says: "The practical consequences of this are that a Catholic care home, for example, may have crucifixes and holy pictures on the walls (that) reflect and support the beliefs of the residents. A cleaner may be an atheist or of very different religious beliefs. Nonetheless, if a cleaner found the crucifixes offensive, there would be no defence in law against a charge of harassment."

It also would be illegal under the bill to refuse employment to such non-believers. Catholic schools could likewise be forced to remove crucifixes or holy pictures if atheist or non-Catholic dinner ladies found them offensive. Beyond decorations, symbols and icons, this may open the way for state interference in invisible and perhaps more profound matters of doctrine.

There is no test of reasonableness in the draft bill, such as is contained in the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. "It is tailor-made for people to come up with objections because it puts the emphasis on the person being offended rather than on an objective test of what ought to be considered reasonable," Addison says.

A proponent of the bill, Stephen Whittle of Press for Change, effectively agrees. He told the parliamentary committee examining the bill: "We would argue strongly that we experience discrimination because other people think that we look different. It is what those other people do, not what we do, that creates that discrimination. Therefore, the bill needs to refocus on what it is those other people see and react to."
The bill is largely the creation of the Labour Party's deputy leader and Equality Minister Harriet Harman, one of the party's most committed left-wing social engineering activists, who probably has as much clout in the government as anyone.

Although the bill was supposed to ensure protection for religious groups,
Harman neglected to mention this when she announced the proposals in the House of Commons last month. Recently she also refused to allow a debate on the rising numbers of religious believers complaining that they are discriminated against in the public sector. There has been a string of cases of people suspended or sacked for expressing their religious convictions, wearing religious symbols such as crucifixes or, in the case of one nurse, offering to pray or a patient.

London priest Tim Finigan says: "For the government to promote this agenda in extreme form at a time when the political system is suffering unparalleled contempt and the far-right groups have their best opportunity for years is stupid beyond belief."
While the potential for government interference with private religious activities is serious enough, the bill may go much further: as it stands it will, for example, also allow the government to control the membership criteria of political parties and movements, as well as private clubs and societies.

10,000 Illegals Massing in Malaysia preparing to invade Australia

Warning on wave of boat people

June 30, 2009

INDONESIAN authorities are bracing for a huge influx of boat people, anticipating as many as 10,000 asylum-seekers are waiting in Malaysia to transit through the archipelago and on to Australia.

This estimate was backed by a Malaysian group that deals with unauthorised immigrants. An Australian Government source warned of the potential for a similar influx to the thousands who began arriving in Australia from the late 1990s.

About 1500 asylum-seekers have arrived in Indonesia this year and registered for refugee status, almost all travelling by boat from Malaysia. Another 1500 are believed to have arrived and have not registered.

Indonesian police intelligence suggests between 7000 and 10,000 more people are waiting in Malaysia to make the journey once their passage is organised by people-smugglers.

"It could be 10,000," said senior commissioner Eko Danianto, head of the people smuggling unit at the Indonesian National Police.

"They comprise a mix of nationalities, not only Afghans. There are also Sri Lankan, Myanamerese (Burmese), Iraqis."

However an Australian academic, Dr Roslyn Richardson, of Charles Sturt University, has said asylum seekers know little about Australia before their arrival here.

Networks of people-smugglers service the 1 million Indonesian illegal workers who regularly travel to Malaysia by boat. The same networks also help arrange passage to Australia via Indonesia.

On Saturday, Malaysian authorities arrested 36 Afghans and six Pakistanis being smuggled to Australia via Indonesia. On Sunday, a boat carrying 194 asylum-seekers, mostly Sri Lankans, was intercepted near Christmas Island. Immigration sources said it was believed to have come from Malaysia. It was the biggest boatload of asylum-seekers to arrive in eight years.

"When they start getting big numbers through on a boat, they [people smugglers] get credibility and they get money. It becomes a virtuous cycle for them," said one Australian immigration enforcement official.

Australia and Indonesia have improved co-operation on people-smugglers and have disrupted more boats than the 16 that have reached Australia this year.

With Australian financial and technical support, Indonesia will announce tomorrow up to 12 police "strike teams" dedicated to combat human trafficking.

But a new wave of asylum-seekers from Malaysia will test that capability, which will take months to get running.

Aegile Fernandez, the co-ordinator of the Malaysian immigration support group Tenaganita, agreed with the assessment that up to 10,000 asylum-seekers were waiting in Malaysia. "There would be 10,000," she said. "I would put the blame on these agencies that have been promising Australia as the destination."

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has 49,000 registered refugees and asylum-seekers in Malaysia and estimated there are 45,000 unregistered illegal immigrants.

The Australian Government declined to comment, except to note the number of asylum-seekers was rising worldwide. However, one source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "It could be 10,000. It could be 5000 or 20,000. We just don't know."

Dr Richardson said strong deterrent messages from Australia did not cut through.

"People smugglers do not pass on detailed policy information," she said yesterday. The asylum seekers knew little of Australia, let alone its immigration policies.

In her study, the reasons 27 refugees gave for coming to Australia centred on its comparative cheapness and accessibility.

The research contradicts Federal Opposition claims that policy changes last year led to a surge in boats.

A report out today by the Migration Institute of Australia found migration agents were perceived to be poorly trained and shonky by parliamentarians, refugee advocates, official and the courts.

Australian Socialist Prime Minister and Labor Leader Kevin "07" Rudd, has ensured that his and his party's and Marxist fundraisers and financiers,the Australian Council of Trade Unions,(ACTU) have opened another front in their "war against prosperity for Australians", by allowing the invasion of our northern shores predominantly by the members of the "Religion of Peace", and other third world colonialists.

Labor and their financiers the ACTU, see these invasion forces as crucial for their plans of a one party state for Australia, hoping that setting up colonies of Muslims and other third world colonialists in Labor Government funded and facilitated "Occupied Territories" will ensure the continued election of Marxist ACTU funded Labor International Socialist Governments at state and federal levels.

Like the Hussein Obama regime in the USA it appears that Rudd has been instructed to act quickly on implementing the International Socialist / UN / Green Manifesto, one way to rig elections , apart from "voting often" as the Labor Party says, is to flood the country with like minded colonialists,dedicated to the destruction of Australian Judeo / Christian society and culture.

Kevin 07, Le Kewan,Dear / Comrade / Leader for Life ? No wonder he has a standing invitation out there for Hugo Chavez to come to Australia.

Couple shot dead for eloping - police

From correspondents in Peshawar, Pakistan
News.com.au
June 29, 2009 07:40pm

RELATIVES of a Pakistani teenager who eloped and married without parental consent shot her dead in a raid on her new home which also killed her husband and in-laws, police said.
Dressed in police uniforms, dozens of relatives attacked the bridegroom's house in the district of Charsadda, in North West Frontier Province.

"The assailants took the bridegroom out while some of the attackers climbed the wall and entered the house. They killed the bride, the mother and sister of the bridegroom,'' said Charsadda district police official Saleem Jan.

"They beat them first and then shot them dead,'' he told AFP.

The groom's father was also killed, another police official told AFP from Sardheri village in
Charsadda.

The bride was aged 18 to 19 and the groom 29 to 30.

Police said the teenager, from the deeply conservative Mardan district next to Charsadda, had run away and recently married without telling her parents.

"Both the girl and man married some weeks ago,'' the bridegroom's uncle Misal Khan told reporters at the scene.

"The attackers were headed by the (paternal) uncle, cousin and maternal uncle of the girl. One of the attackers left his police uniform at the site. They also left one mobile phone in a pocket of the uniform,'' he added.

Police said the main suspects were two uncles and a cousin.

"We have registered a case against three relatives of the girl and their unknown accomplices,'' police official Saleem Jan tsaid.

Human rights groups have strongly condemned the practice of honour killings in Pakistan, which claim the lives of hundreds of women each year.

Amnesty International says many killings are unreported and in almost all cases the perpetrators, who are often close family members, go unpunished.

In 2005, Pakistan's then president Pervez Musharraf introduced the death penalty for honour killings.
