A LAWYER involved in an alleged female genital mutilation case will face court today charged with two counts of perverting the course of justice.

Detectives from the Sex Crimes Squad and attached to Strike Force Longfield arrested the solicitor at his office in Sydney's inner west.

The strike force was set up to investigation claims two young girls had the procedure, also known as female circumcision, performed on them when they were aged six and seven.

Eight people remain before the court after being arrested by detectives last year. Findings are yet to be handed down in those cases

The lawyer has been charged with two counts of do act with intent to pervert the course of justice. He was granted conditional bail and will appear at Parramatta Local Court next week.


The barbarity of being kept in the dark ages

A SYDNEY sheik accused of involvement in the barbaric "genital circumcision" of sisters aged 6 and 7 is alleged to have told his Muslim community to lie about its widespread practice.

Police claim Sheik Shabbir Mohammedbhai Vaziri told members of the Dawoodi Bohra community at Auburn to lie to police when they questioned them over the mutilations.

Vaziri, 56, of Auburn, Helen Magennis, 68, a retired nurse of Campbelltown, and the children's parents have all been charged in relation to the alleged acts on the girls.

Police allege the procedures were carried out by Magennis.

A strike force of seven detectives from the NSW sex crimes unit was set up after an anonymous tip to the Department of Community Services several months ago.

It is the first time anyone has been charged with the offence in relation to children after legislation was passed in 1994.

Protect girls from cruel culture

FEW in Australia realise that female genital mutilation or FGM is an issue both here and in other modern multicultural nations.
Genital mutilation may not be isolated
A MAN has appeared in a Sydney court charged over the genital mutilation of two girls aged six and seven.

Family and Community Services Minister Pru Goward said she did not believe genital mutilation was rare in NSW.

Ms Goward said that female genital mutilation was an "abhorrent practice" and "a form of child abuse".

The two children are still in the care of their parents.

"They are good parents," NSW sex crimes unit head Detective Superintendent John Kerlatic said.

"It may seem a contradiction to say that when the parents are facing such serious charges. But they are not in any danger of any physical abuse."

The alleged genital mutilations occurred in the past 18 months at homes in Sydney.

Vaziri appeared in Burwood court yesterday on two counts of being an accessory after the fact to female genital mutilation, and hindering the police investigation.

Police allege Vaziri hindered the investigation by telling people to lie about the extent of female genital mutilation.

Magistrate Chris Longley said despite what many people would see as very serious charges, he was granting bail under strict conditions.

He said police opposed bail saying Vaziri was a flight risk.

Mr Longley ordered Vaziri surrender his passport and report to Auburn police daily and appear in Parramatta Local Court on September 26.

The parents were charged last Friday, granted bail and ordered to reappear in court on September 26.

Magennis is alleged to have carried out the procedure and was granted bail to reappear on October 3.

Muslim prayer leader charged over indecent assault of three women in Dee Why

This Mosque in South Creek Road Dee Why occupies land where was once a Christian Church stood.
Swarms of these swine descend onto Pittwater Road before and after Friday "prayers"
Less than a mile from here one of the Muslim worshippers with known terrorist links resided in an apartment on Pittwater Road.
The  Muslim Savage Bashir responsible for the Bali Bombing instructed Muslims (as a guest prayer leader ? )here during a stay in Sydney prior to the Bali Bombing.

THE managers of a mosque where a muslim prayer leader was charged with allegedly touching the breasts of two teenagers and a grandmother say they are "shocked" by the allegations.

The 59-year-old Egyptian national, Ahmed Alkahly, who is visiting a Northern Beaches mosque for the period of Ramadan, was charged last night after he allegedly indecently assaulted three separate women.

We just can't believe it," a spokesman for the Islamic Society of Manly-Warringah, which runs the Dee Why Masjid Mosque where Alkahly was working as a guest prayer leader said.

"We're shocked, absolutely shocked."

The spokesman said Alkahly had been sent as part of a larger delegation from Egypt.

"The Egyptian government sent him," he said. "He was part of a large group."

"The Australian Federation of Islamic Council received them and decide who went where.

"Some mosques got two or three, some one or two, Dee Why got one."

He said Alkahly was in Australia on a tourist visa and was making guest appearances as a prayer leader for the special night meetings around Ramadan and had denied the allegations against him.

"I don't know how much to say because he denies the allegation," he said.

The events have distressed members of the Northern Beaches mosque with a statement on the group's official website claiming the imam had received abusive emails.

"We would like to inform the public that he is NOT the imam of Dee Why Mosque nor he is directly employed by us," the statement reads.

"Please refrain from sending abusive emails to Dee Why Mosque's imam as he has nothing to do with this."

Police said a 16-year-old girl was approached by a man and allegedly indecently assaulted as she walked through a reserve in Dee Why on Monday.

Then yesterday, a 57-year-old woman and another 16-year-old girl were both allegedly indecently assaulted by a man on Dee Why Beach.

Detectives from Northern Beaches Local Area Command were alerted and commenced an investigation into the incidents.

Following inquiries, detectives arrested the 59-year-old Egyptian National in Dee Why late yesterday.

He was taken to Dee Why Police Station where he was charged with three counts of indecent assault and was given bail to appear at North Sydney Local Court on 5 August 2013.

Dee Why locals said the man had been seen on the beach approaching people and shaking their hands.

Merrylands man, 25, charged over groping blind woman on Sydney train

The Daily Telegraph
July 31 2013

A MAN has been charged with indecently assaulting a young blind woman while she was travelling on a Sydney train.

Police yesterday released CCTV footage of a man they believe can help with their inquiries.

As a result of the public appeal, a 25-year-old Merrylands man was arrested at home last night.

He's been charged with indecent assault and refused bail and is expected to appear in Parramatta Local Court today.

The 23-year-old woman had told police she had been touched on her breast in an elevator at Ashfield, in Sydney's inner-west, on July 17.

She later felt a hand on her breast while she was on a train in the city's south, between Jannali and Sutherland railway stations, when she also heard a man talking to her.

Kiwi radicals training in Yemen: Key

Prime Minister John Key says he has signed surveillance warrants on New Zealanders who are now in Yemen at al-Qaeda terrorist training camps.

Ninemsn.com

He says the number is small, but he's warning there are "radicalised New Zealanders" who have either left the country or returned.
"I don't think that's terribly new, I suspect (former prime minister) Helen Clark would have signed warrants as well," he told reporters.
"There are warrants on people that I have signed who are currently in Yemen."
Mr Key earlier on Thursday disclosed there were al-Qaeda operatives in New Zealand during an interview on MoreFM.

He was explaining why the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) needs to have the authority to spy on New Zealanders on behalf of the police and the Security Intelligence Service (SIS).

"In the real world, in New Zealand, there are people who have been trained in al-Qaeda camps, who operate out of New Zealand, who are in contact with people overseas," he said.
"I accept there's a balance between national security and privacy but people need to put a bit of perspective around it."

He was speaking just hours before a bill that gives the GCSB legal authority to spy on New Zealanders came up for its second reading in parliament.

Opposition party leaders accused him of cynically using privileged security information to boost public support for the contentious legislation.

"If he was genuine about protecting the security of New Zealand he would do it in the national interest instead of his own sectarian political twist," said Green Party co-leader Russel Norman.

Labour leader David Shearer also accused Mr Key of releasing security information to serve his own ends, and said he had alerted risky individuals they were being watched.
"You might as well send them a postcard. It's incredibly dumb, this is not Boy's Own," he said in parliament.
The bill passed its second reading by 61 votes to 59.

Pakistan cricket great Wasim Akram to marry Melbourne woman

NUI TE KOHA
Herald Sun

 PAKISTAN cricket great Wasim Akram is engaged to marry Melbourne woman Shaniera Thompson.
The famed left-arm bowler, 47, proposed on bended knee in their lounge room to Ms Thompson, 30.

"It was the romantic moment of my life because it was so genuine," she said.

A former public relations consultant from Brighton, Ms Thompson has converted to Islam, and will call Pakistan home.

She said Akram was nervous about proposing in the traditional way.

"He was really sweet about it.

He asked me what my dream proposal would be and I said I'm not the type of woman that likes a big scene. I would want it to be at home or somewhere private.



"Then I came into the lounge room and he was on his knee and asked me if I'd marry him."

But the joyful mood was soon broken by a worried look on Thompson's face.

She told Akram: "If we are doing this the traditional way, then you have to ask my father."

He called Ms Thompson's father, who gave his blessing.
The pair met in Melbourne in 2011 and Akram said he was happy he had found love.

"I never thought I would get married again, but I am lucky and very happy to find love again," he said.

"It just goes to show that life can give you a second chance."

Akram's first wife, Huma, died in 2009. They had two boys, now aged 15 and 12.

THREE CHRISTIAN BOYS TORTURED AND MURDERED BY PAKISTANI POLICE FOR BEING IN LOVE WITH MUSLIM GIRLS

It's surreal to chronicle the overwhelming  religious carnage (I am almost unable to keep up with the sheer volume of these atrocities)  day after day, month after month, year after year, while simultaneously being smeared, libeled and attacked for doing just that -- for reporting and opining on these horrors.

A is A. But that, too, is controversial. The craziness continues to stun me, to this very day. Oh, the humanity (or lack of it, I should say).

As Robert Spencer explains, "Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, although Muslim men may marry non-Muslim women."

Cairo,Egypt: Obama's Arab Spring rolls on as Five Muslim Savages Gang Rape 22 yr old Dutch journalist

Five men Gang rape journalist, 22, in Tahrir Square

July 2, 2013 - 2:05PM

A Dutch journalist has been raped by a group of five men in Cairo's central Tahrir Square as millions of protesters take to the streets to demand the removal of Egypt's President Mohammed Mursi, according to reports.

Army sets ultimatum

The woman is believed to have undergone surgery for horrific injuries sustained in the attack, as a volunteer vigilante group formed to protect women in Tahrir Square reported a new wave of sexual violence by groups of men targeting women.

Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment said it had recorded 44 cases of sexual assaults and harassment against women on Sunday night alone, the highest number it had encountered since the group was formed in November 2012.

"Among the reported cases tonight are grandmothers; mothers with their children; 7yr olds. Common denominator: all female," @OpAntiSH tweeted.


The group urged women to "please stay away from tahrir until we can [take] control over it".

Dina Zakaria, an Egyptian journalist reporting for the "Egypt 25" news channel, reported that a Dutch journalist in Tahrir Square "was raped by men who dub themselves revolutionists".

"Her condition is severe and she is hospitalised," Zakaria wrote on her Facebook page.

The Dutch Embassy in Cairo issued a statement saying a 22-year-old Dutch woman was attacked in Tahrir Square on Friday night.

"The Netherlands Embassy has assisted the victim, and after receiving emergency treatment in a Cairo hospital she was repatriated to the Netherlands in the company of family," the statement said.

"The victim has cooperated with an investigation started by the Egyptian authorities. In the interest of the privacy of the victim no further information will be given."

A state hospital in Cairo issued a statement saying the journalist was admitted after being raped by five men, according to Ynetnews, the website of the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot.

Talaat Abdallah, Egypt's Prosecutor-General, reportedly sent his staff to the hospital to find out what happened in the attack, YNewsNet reported.

Some reports suggest the woman was an intern with an Egyptian organisation and had gone to Tahrir Square to take photos of the demonstrations.

Jeremy Bowen, the BBC's Middle East editor, tweeted on Monday that another woman had taken shelter in their building from a gang of men trying to sexually assault her.

"Sadly #tahrir revolutionary atmosphere of people behaving well with common purpose long gone. Sexual assault common. no cops In sight," he tweeted.

It follows the sexual assault of other female journalists covering Egypt's protests in recent years, including French television journalist Sonia Dridi and Lara Logan, a correspondent for US network CBS.

Logan was sexually assaulted and beaten in Tahrir Square in 2011, and later said she believed she was going to die.

After being rescued, Logan returned to the US and was treated in a hospital for four days.

"Sexual violence is a way of denying women journalists access to the story in Egypt," Logan told the New York Daily News following her assault.

"It's not accidental. It's by design."

British journalist Natasha Smith of the Fair Observer also reported being sexually assaulted by a mob near Tahrir Square.

Although sexual harassment is not new to Egypt, suspicions abound that many of the recent attacks are organised by opponents of various protests in a bid to drive people away.

Amnesty International said in a report last year that such attacks appeared to be designed to intimidate women and prevent them from fully participating in public life.

The news of the attack came as the Egyptian army issued a 48-hour deadline for the deadly clashes to be resolved.

So far eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in the protests, which coincide with the first anniversary of President Mursi's inauguration.

United States Jails Australian Paedophile,Gay Man, who with his Male Partner Purchased a Womans Baby.

YahooNews
June 29, 2013, 4:55 pm

An Australian man who bought a baby boy for $US8000 ($A8659) with his partner, ( Another Male) sexually abused the child and handed him off to other pedophiles (Paedophiles)  to molest, has been sentenced to 40 years' prison in the US.

Judge Sarah Evans Barker, while sentencing the 42-year-old in the US District Court in Indianapolis on Friday, said he deserved a harsher punishment but accepted the plea deal because she did not want to subject jurors to the disturbing evidence.

Prosecutors discovered videos and photos of the man, his domestic partner, also an Australian, and other men in Australia, the US, Germany and France abusing the child from the age of two to six.

"For more than one year and across three continents, these men submitted this young child to some of the most heinous acts of exploitation that this office has ever seen," Indiana US Attorney Joe Hogsett said after the sentencing.

The 40-year sentence was the maximum available for the conspiracy to sexually exploit a minor and conspiracy to posses child pornography charges the man entered guilty pleas to.

His partner has also entered guilty pleas and will be sentenced later this year.

The court heard the two men, who had been living in California, bought the newborn boy for $US8000 in an undisclosed country and use falsified documents in Los Angeles in an attempt to adopt him.

The boy was rescued by US authorities and is being cared for in California.

Home front opens in a foreign war

Rachel Olding
SMH
June 30, 2013


 

It was not so much a death threat as a declaration of war.

''You wanna go to war, you f---in' Shia dogs?'' the phone message says. ''We're taking all of you to war, in Sydney and overseas!''

It was 8pm and Jamal Daoud, an aspiring politician from Auburn was having dinner with his wife and children. An outspoken critic of the Free Syrian Army, Daoud is accustomed to abuse but this call was more frightening than most.

''You wanna kill our brothers and sisters overseas, we're gonna kill you motherf---ers here,'' the caller says.


''We know where [you] live. We're coming past [your] house and shoot at [it], if there are people inside we don't give a f---. You wanna spill blood, we're gonna spill blood, you f---in' dogs!''

After two years and an estimated 100,000 deaths, the civil war in Syria has spilled on to the streets of Sydney. Auburn, Lakemba and Bankstown are the new battle lines.

The Syrian conflict, which pits the Sunni-dominated rebellion against the Alawite regime of President Bashar al-Assad, has split the Middle East in two; the Sunni regimes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar and large Sunni population in Lebanon on one side, Iran, the Lebanese militia Hezbollah and the broader Shiite Muslim population, of which the Alawites are an offshoot, on the other.

In Sydney, it is splitting suburbs along the same sectarian lines.

''It's very frightening, what is happening,'' says Daoud, who was targeted after posting a disparaging message about the death of Mustapha al-Majzoub, a Sydney sheikh killed in Syria last year, while conducting humanitarian work his supporters say.

Daoud and others described him as a ''terrorist'' fighting on the frontline but local Sunnis insist he was a ''shaheed'', or martyr.

Majzoub was one of about 200 Australians to travel to the war zone in the past two years. The Australian Federal Police believe a significant proportion of these mostly Lebanese dual citizens are fighting with the Syrian resistance, about half of whom are in al-Qaeda aligned Al-Nusra Front, which was put on a Federal Police terrorist blacklist in March and censured again yesterday by Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus.

Several organisations at home — including the al-Risalah Islamic Bookstore in Bankstown, where Majzoub spoke regularly — have been fund-raising and loudly decrying the brutal acts being committed on their fellow Muslims.

''Our families in Syria are in desperate need,'' reads one message on the Facebook page of the ultra-conservative Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah Association, which runs several mosques including the controversial Bukhari House bookstore and prayer hall in Auburn. ''Just yesterday 45 men, women, children and babies, bruatly [sic] murder by the evil bashar death squads. WHAT ARE WE DOING???''

In a connected world, smartphone footage of Assad's forces slaughtering women and children or a rebel fighter eating the lung of a dead soldier travel around the world almost instantaneously and fill the Facebook pages of young Australian Muslims.

The satellite dishes that line the streets of Sydney's west hint at how much families remain in touch via the more graphic and politically engaged Arabic-language channels.

Older generations fear for those they have left behind. Their Australian-born children find it all too easy to take up the call-to-arms.

''We don't want to transfer the problems from Syria to Australia but I fear that is what's happening,'' Australian Syrian Association spokesman Mohammad al-Hamwi says. ''Day by day, it becomes worse. So far two years and five months and it's still going on. It affects us because we are so far and we feel we can do nothing to help. It is unbelievable what is happening to our people in Syria.''

Seventeen incidents of sectarian violence in Melbourne and Sydney have been reported in the media but Fairfax Media has uncovered details of many more.

The conflicts in Sydney have ranged from bitter verbal exchanges on a Lakemba street to the firebombing, bashing and extortion of the owner of a Bankstown juice bar.

According to court documents, a group of men from al-Risalah, led by owner Wisam Haddad, told Juicylicious owner Ali Issawi they would hunt down any supporters of Assad, ''crush them down with our feet'' and ''slaughter your necks, all of you''.

It's believed Issawi has entered police protection. One of his attackers, the accused Hyde Park rioter Ahmed Elomar, was sentenced to a year in prison.

Haddad did not respond to a list of questions he asked be emailed to him.

Another Shiite Muslim, 29-year-old Ali Ibrahim, who was attacked last year, has gone into hiding and withdrawn charges against the alleged shooter. Fairfax understands Ibrahim made comments in support of Assad on Facebook. Fifteen minutes later, he answered the front door of his Punchbowl home and was shot twice in the legs.

The fear of retribution and lack of faith in police action has meant few people will press charges, let alone speak publicly. Mr Ibrahim no longer opens his door, even for friends.

The streets of Sydney's south-west have long been known for their peaceable mix of Afghan supermarkets, Iraqi hairdressers and Turkish bakeries — where Muslims of all stripes live and work side by side with little or no fuss.

However, with tensions running high, certain areas have become no-go zones for Sunnis, Shiites or Alawites. Daoud, one of few people prepared to speak publicly about the sectarian violence, is wary of walking through Sunni-dominated parts of Lakemba, Auburn and Bankstown.

When he invited Today Tonight's cameras on to Auburn Road in May, it took minutes for a crowd to gather.

Daoud was allegedly spat on and punched on camera by Omar Ammouche, one of a group of men who emerged from Bukhari House.

According to locals, men from the bookshop regularly harass and intimidate Shiite shopkeepers.

''I have received death threats from them,'' says an Iraqi man, who did not want to be named. ''Men came into the shop and demanded I take down some posters of Jesus Christ and imam Ali [revered by Shiites as the successor of the prophet Muhammad].''

He says he reported this to police ''15 times at least'' but no action has been taken.

Shops have been firebombed and their owners coerced into selling cheaply since a list of 22 Shiite businesses to boycott circulated online last year. The message ended with the line: ''BOYCOTT ALL KAFIR [infidel] SHIA [Alawite] SHOPS!!!! BOYCOTT THEM ALL!!!''

As he walks up Auburn Road, Daoud points out dozens of shops — including Vatan restaurant, Hamka Halal Meat, Auburn Fruit Market, Safir carpet shop, Sofra Kebab House, Diljah Mixed Business — and describes how each has been threatened verbally or physically.

After his $200,000 Bankstown chicken shop was firebombed two days before it was due to open last year, Rockdale City councillor Michael Nagi simply gave up and quietly withdrew from the area.

No one has been arrested and Nagi, a Shiite, will not talk about the incident except to call for calm.

Assistant Commissioner Frank Mennilli says police are aware of several cases of both reported and unreported extortion and threats but the perceived tensions have been overstated. ''However, there is no excuse for criminal acts to be undertaken in Australia in the name of some overseas cause or to use overseas events to justify acts of violence here,'' he says.

In many instances, Shiites are fighting back. Zaky Mallah, a young Sunni Muslim who spent three weeks on the front line in Syria last year, says he was subjected to death threats on his return.

''It's very, very ugly,'' he says. ''The sectarian hatred is there, you can feel it in the air. It's sad that it has gotten to that stage but it just gives you a sense of how bad the Syrian crisis is.''

Mallah, who was acquitted of terrorism charges in 2005 and runs an Australian outpost of the Free Syrian Army from his garage, says he drives with tinted windows and stays away from Shiite-dominated areas such as Arncliffe, Rockdale and Belfield.

'If the police don't take this seriously, we are heading towards a civil unrest,'' Daoud says.

''Some people become very scared and they keep silent but others are taking matters into their own hands. When I was attacked, I was helped by people from the Shia community who said, 'If you need protection just tell us'. They say, 'If they have gangs, we have gangs. If they have somebody who can attack …' ''

Police dispute the fearful assessments of those within the community and insist there have been some ''minor issues'' but no widespread violence attributable to the violence in Syria.

However, counter-terrorism researcher Andrew Zammit from Monash University's global terrorism research centre says there is the added and dangerous dimension of Australians coming into contact with al-Qaeda by travelling to Syria.

This, he says, is the difference between previous proxy wars fought on Australian soil like the Balkan War-inspired violence between Serbs and Croatians in the 1990s.

Federal counter-terrorism agencies say some Australians have travelled overseas to engage in terrorist training or fighting, yet no one has been arrested. Four Australians have died in the conflict.

Like Majzoub, Mallah was photographed on the frontline in Syria with an AK-47 in his hand but he says this was for self-defence and denies claims that he was fighting.

Police have expressed grave concerns that some young Australians will bring back military training and extreme ideas.

''Extremist ideology plus capability can transform into serious intent which is ready to trigger if a catalyst and an opportunity materialise,'' Mr Mennilli says.

He assures the community that police have ''heavily invested'' in proactive engagement strategies in south-western Sydney and have ''ongoing community consultations'' with groups like al-Risalah and Bukhari House.

On the streets of Auburn one rainy afternoon, matters certainly appear calm on the surface. Shops are buzzing with customers. Men converse cheerily with Daoud as

he greets them with a ''salaam'' on the footpath.

But the young man who emerges on the step of a nearby bakery to watch Daoud's every move hints at something more sinister. He is there to keep watch, Daoud warns. It is a subtle form of intimidation.

''There is no way to calm everyone down,'' Hamwi warns.

''Everyone is waiting for the other side to initiate a problem and then it will explode. It does not end until the crisis in Syria ends.''

Australia's Finest: Captain Gordon Phillips

What a great LIFE / story!!! Congratulations Captain Gordon Phillips.

Small piece of Australian aviation history ends with retirement of Captain Gordon Phillips

HENRY BUDD 
The Daily Telegraph
June 29 2013

WHEN Captain Gordon Phillips stepped out of his Qantas A380 cockpit in Sydney on Wednesday morning, a small piece of Australian aviation history came to end.

The moment marked the end of an incredible 45-year career for Capt Phillips who, until that moment, was the longest-serving Qantas pilot still in the job.

Capt Phillips, 64, was given a rousing cheer by his passengers as he completed his final flight, ending a remarkable journey that began as a teenager on a farm in Swan Hill, Victoria.

With a childhood dream to fly, the then 16-year-old applied for both the air force and Qantas, which had just begun its cadet program. He was accepted into both, but chose the civilian route.

The following year he relocated to Sydney to begin training at Mascot and less than two years later was presented with his wings by the then Governor-General Lord Richard Casey at a ceremony inside a Qantas hangar at Sydney airport.

 But instead of flying Qantas passenger planes, the 20 graduates first had to get some experience, with Capt Phillips picking up work for a company in the Solomon Islands, flying in and out of jungle airstrips, many cut during WWII.

For a young man from rural Victoria who had never left Australia it was the experience of a lifetime - flying small aircraft into remote airstrips and soaking up the island life.

"That time is still a very precious part of my career," he said yesterday.

After 14 months, Capt Phillips returned to Australia and began training to fly Qantas' flagship Boeing 707, a four-engine jet aircraft larger and more powerful than anything he had flown before.

"It was pretty exciting and a bit scary for guys who had been flying around in light aircraft," he said. 

His first commercial flight for Qantas was to London as a second officer in training. That was in May, 1970, an era when pilots were globetrotters.

"I don't think my colleagues believe. A typical London trip was nine or 10 days, 16 legs," he said.

"We would do something like Sydney-Bali-Singapore. Overnight (in Singapore) then do Singapore-Kuala Lumpur-Colombo-Bahrain. Then maybe Bahrain-Istanbul-Rome and London." 

Out of the scores of places he has flown to, Capt Phillips listed Bermuda at the top.

"We didn't have long there, but we would jump on our pedalos (pedal-start motorbikes) and race around the island. It was a different atmosphere out there. You could almost feel the pirate ships in the coves," he said.

Over the following 33 years, Capt Phillips flew Boeing 747s, 767s and 747-400s before making the switch to the giant Airbus A380 five years ago - a plane with technology that was unimaginable when he began flying. 

In his 45 years as an aviator, Capt Philips has flown the equivalent of 400 laps of the globe and carried just under a million passengers.



With such a long record, he was bound to have had a few hair-raising mid-air moments.

He said he had experienced his fair share of "lost" engines - an event he describes as an "inconvenience".

"I've been on flights where we've had to shut engines down or they have failed. It's what we train for," he said.

With his 65th birthday looming in February - the age at which international pilots must retire - Capt Phillips made the decision to give up the life of a pilot.

He made his final trip to London and back this month with his wife, Ruth, joining him for the entire journey.
Before he left Dubai to fly into Sydney he was surprised by his son Alexander, who flies for Shenzhen Airlines in China and will soon follow in his dad's footsteps and become a Qantas pilot.

Exclusive: Lord Monckton sees China prepping for final collapse of America

Obama has done it. He has brought America down. It only took him just over four years. The Republicans could have stopped him. They didn’t.

How did the nihilistic left succeed in destroying America? Simple. They learned just a little of the capitalism they hate, and they drove your nation into outright bankruptcy.

And here is what the GOP has to say about it: just about nothing.

The once-mighty United States is now the most indebted nation on Earth. In round numbers, here are just some of the vital statistics as the patient dies:

National debt: $17 trillion, or $50,000 per man, woman and child, or $150,000 per taxpayer. Annual federal deficit: $1 trillion. Medicare/Medicaid/Obama”care”: $1 trillion a year. Social Security: another $1 trillion a year. Defense: two-thirds of a trillion. Unemployment handouts: $2 billion per working day. Debt interest: $1 billion per working day. Federal pensions, ditto.

Now for the big numbers. Your government’s Social Security liability is as big as the national debt: $17 trillion. Its prescription drug liability is $22 trillion. Then there’s the Medicare liability of $86 trillion. Total unfunded liabilities of the U.S. government are $125 trillion.

Radio 2gb's Brian Wilshire speaks with Lord Christopher Monckton about China prepping for the final collapse of America. 

Net assets for each U.S. citizen are $300,000. The net liability of the U.S. government, shared among its citizens, amounts to almost four times that: $1.1 million a head. And the government’s debt is growing at $1 million every 45 seconds. To cover its annual deficit, it is printing $1 trillion a year of currency that is not backed by any asset whatsoever.

Here is what will happen next. When the crash comes, don’t say you weren’t given fair and clear warning.

First, the dollar will cease – no, make that “is already ceasing” – to be the world’s reserve currency. China, as I have been warning you she would, has realized the dollar is finished. So she is quietly making startling progress with bilateral and multilateral deals to replace the dollar with the yuan as the world’s currency of choice.

Sterling, once the world’s reserve currency, went precisely the same way in 1967 under orders from Moscow, which then largely controlled the governing Socialist Labor party in Britain.

After the Second World War, the Socialist/Communist governments of Attlee and Wilson bankrupted Britain with health-care and welfare programs and nationalization of industries. Inflation rose to 27 percent.

Obama’s copycat policies are different in only one respect. Moscow is no longer calling the shots. International totalitarianism no longer needs direction. Its cruel, hate-filled, destructive mission now advances on autopilot.

Watch some of the straws in the wind. China and Korea have come to a little-noticed agreement that international trade between them will no longer be denominated in U.S. dollars, but in yuan, or Won.

Checking China's Economic Pulse

Behind the closed mahogany doors of the world’s finance houses, elaborate and secret preparations are being made for the upheaval and international financial collapse that will follow the deliberate printing-out and consequent implosion of the dollar.

Your GOP representatives should be, but are not, asking the administration to reveal to them the ever-tougher terms on which the Chinese continue – with ever-greater reluctance –to lend money to keep their communist ally in the White House afloat.

Do not believe China cannot afford to let her biggest creditor fail. She can, she will, and she is making careful preparations to do just that.

If you thought the crash of 2008 was bad, think again. The crash that is coming –I cannot put a date on it, but it is not far away now – will be orders of magnitude worse.

So, what should you do to protect yourself and your family? First, get rid of every dollar you have. Dollars are now all but worthless. When the crash comes, they will have no value at all.

In hard times, most financial instruments – currencies, stocks, bonds – are not worth the paper they are printed on. Get rid of them now. Buy silver coins. They will quintuple in price once the crash sets in, and they are small enough to be fungible when the dollar dies.

Buy land, some of it well-wooded, some of it arable, some of it grassland. You will need the timber to power your steam tractor. Gasoline will be a costly rarity. And make sure you can defend yourselves. Starving mobs are no respecters of persons. Do what the Mormons do: Get three months’ supply of imperishable foodstuffs and hide them in the basement.

Absurd though this advice may now seem, there is a real danger that the crash will sudden. If so – perhaps for several months, and even for years – the fabric of civilization, including the food-supply chain, will fail.

It is not my custom to write in millenarian or apocalyptic terms. But the very best that can be said for your current administration is that it simply has no idea what damage it is doing. It is printing money in the vain hope of buying itself time. Yet every fake dollar that comes off the printing-presses makes the problem worse and the solution harder.

At worst, what is now happening to your nation may be deliberate. In that event, your current “president” will go down as history’s greatest villain. In any event, he will go down as history’s greatest incompetent.

Do not believe none of this can happen. Psychiatrists study what they call “normalcy bias.” People expect that everything will carry on and that America is too big to fail. She is not. She has failed. You will pay a heavy price for her failure, unless you act now to defend yourselves against what your government, with the culpable, silent acquiescence of the GOP, is doing to destroy your nation.

Finally, pray. God bless America. It has been nice knowing you. Only when you are gone will the world realize how much it misses you, and – paradoxically – how much it owes you.
