Islamic Assassins and terrorists supporters rampage through Sydney streets .

Purpose Bred Islamic Assassins rampage through Sydney streets in a show of support for "Palestinian" Terrorists

Again note the desecration of the Australian Flag "Guilt by Association" with these Godless savages,this is the flag of a nation founded and made possible by all the Religious and cultural beliefs that these Godless swine have vowed to destroy the moment it is within their power to do so,these Assassins are in our country for one purpose and one purpose only to do what they and their parents and grand parents and those before them did to the various Islamic countries they ran away from, make Australia like the Islamic nations that spawned them,unfit for human habitation.

I have to admit it is comforting to know that Annie " I used to be lunatic from the gracious days" & "I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind " Lennox, and Bianca Jagger and that doyen of social justice and all that is morally correct in the world "Mad Red" Ken Livingston are on the job doing whatever they can for the cause of peace,as if.


I noted that the medias coverage of the counter pro Israeli protest was at least the best part of 3 seconds.. I guess the media would rather see salivating Satan worshiping savages and their demonic off spring on the television screens of the nation delivering their Islamic leftist supported message of PEACE.
I know where the medias support lies in the "Palestinian cause" I wonder where they think average Australia's support lies? I mean EVEN the lefts media created celebrity & grade 4 Queensland public servant, and now Labor PM,Kevin 07, says he believes in God, or was that just an election line thrown to the "Working Families" ?

Australia's socialised medicine, Medi dont Care, Kills another Australian

Australia has without doubt the best third world Universal Health "Care" system, Medi dont Care,in the world and to prove it it has just killed another Australian.
Australia once had the best, bar none, Health Care system in the world, after 30 years of "free" Socialised medicine,Medicare, it is now, like everything else socialism's dead hand touches, is almost totally stuffed.

Eliminate the Cliche?

Kevin Rudd may take Guantanamo Bay inmates

Sid Maher
The Australian
December 27, 2008

KEVIN Rudd has left open the possibility of Australia taking former inmates from the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, but warned that any US request for an inmate to come would be subject to legal criteria and assessed on a case-by-case basis.

As the Greens warned the Prime Minister he faced a political backlash if he accepted detainees held in the US military jail at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, a spokesman for Mr Rudd confirmed that US authorities had approached Australia and other countries about resettling the detainees.

"Australia, along with a number of other countries, has been approached to consider resettling detainees from Guantanamo Bay," the Prime Minister's spokesman said.

Latest

"Any determination for an individual to come to Australia would be made on a case-by-case basis. All persons accepted to come to Australia would have to meet Australia's strict legal requirements and go through the normal and extremely rigorous assessment processes."

The Australian reported yesterday that the US State Department had over the past 12 months cabled more than 100 countries seeking help to clear out Guantanamo Bay.

The incoming administration of Barack Obama, which plans to shut the facility within two years, is expecting help in resettling more than 250 detainees still held at Guantanamo Bay.

About 60 detainees have been cleared for release by US authorities but are unable to return to their homelands because they fear retribution.

Greens senator Rachel Siewert told The Weekend Australian Guantanamo Bay was a creation of the US Government and was therefore Washington's problem. She said the Prime Minister should refuse to take any detainees.

"It's something they should be dealing with on home soil," she said. "We understand some can't go back to their homelands, but in those instances the US Government should be helping them within America."

Guantanamo Bay was opened in 2002 as a way of holding detainees caught in the war on terror beyond the reach of the US courts, where civilian rules for detention would apply.

Some European countries, keen to improve relations with the US, are understood to have said they are willing to help with resettling the detainees.

Germany and Portugal have acknowledged they were considering taking detainees, but The Netherlands has ruled out taking any, arguing it is the responsibility of the country that imprisoned them.

While some inmates are al-Qa'ida linchpins such 9/11 plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, others have been held for years without charge or trial and without presenting any threat to the US or the West.

Australian David Hicks was held there for five years before being convicted last year of providing material support for terrorism. He was returned to Australia to serve nine months' jail before being released and placed under a control order, which expired last weekend.

Another Australian, Mamdouh Habib, was released from Guantanamo Bay without charge in 2005.

Mr Obama & Mr Rudd, Sydney already has, in the south west, entire suburbs occupied (Sydney's "occupied territories") by Islamic terrorists their sympathysers and facilitators, Islamic gang rapists,Islamic murderers and bash artists,Islamic drug distribution and car rebirthing networks.
Many would say that Australia hating Muslim terrorists are just what the Australian Labor Party thinks Australia needs more of as it is consistant with their policy of divide and conquer the Australian people via their disgraced Multiculturalism policy.

The federal opposition leader, Malcolm Turnbull should make this latest planed attack upon Australia by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) as the line in the sand,and say loud and clear now that the ALP's policy of going soft on terrorists,terrorism and illegal entrants will be totally demolished upon the election of a Trunbull led federal Liberal Government.

1 Ton Bomb Lands on Gaza ... yippy yi ay !!!!

I just saw the consequences of an Israeli 1 ton bomb dropped on Gaza, so where the hell is the 1000 ton Bomb ? and why has it not been dropped on these terrorist swine before today?

I say bring on the fricking one thousand ton bomb and lets get this UN / Muslim "Palestinian" hoax over with once and for all.

Go Israel!!!! remember why you are in this no win position TODAY.

Better still,remember the six day war,

Peace in our time ? Humanity must consign ISLAM back to the bowels of Hell that spawned it.

Muslim Terror supporters march for Ham arse in Australia

Islamic Terror Supporters march through Australian streets
(note the desecration of the Australian flag in the

Australians wake up !!! who let these Dogs in ?

Aussie support ? the SBS report says the purpose of these Muslim colonialists taking over our streets was a show of support for terrorist pals,and to demand that Australia and Australian's join them in their support of their Muslim co religionist's in Israel, why would you demand something you claim you already have ? according to the SBS headline, "Aussie Support" would indicate they already have the support of Australia /ns.
I saw no Australians in any of the footage shown that covered their show of support for terror.
Note the token,and now almost obligatory at these types of hate Israel hate Australia hate the west Multicultural carnivals, "Jew Hating" Jew, towards the end of the report, denouncing her land of birth.

Great White stalks Sydney kayakers

By Miawling Lam
The Sunday Telegraph
December 28, 2008 12:00am

THEY'RE the ones who got away: a group of Sydney fishermen and kayakers survived a frightening encounter with a great white shark off Long Reef yesterday.



View Larger Map

Luckiest of all was 29-year-old Steve Kulcsar, who was knocked off his kayak by the 5m giant, which circled him for a minute as he trod water.

The close shave happened on the same day Perth man Brian Guest was taken by a white pointer of similar size while snorkelling on the other side of the country - and comes after a string of other alarming shark incidents.

'It goes with the territory': Brian's brave words about sharks

The Sydney incident was caught on videotape by Glenn Morgan, who was fishing with mates in a tinny nearby.

Mr Morgan's chilling footage shows the man-eater coming within touching distance of the group again and again.

Latest update

The fishermen were the first to spot its huge fin heading towards Mr Kulcsar.

"A fisherman yelled out, 'There's a 5m shark coming your way.' We all thought he was just trying to stir us up for a laugh, but a few moments later, a big fin appeared," Mr Kulcsar said.

The next thing he knew, the white pointer bumped into his kayak, hurling him into the water.

Against all instincts, Mr Kulcsar managed to remain calm despite the shark lurking just metres away.

"I wasn't really worried about the shark, actually," he said.

"I knew it was there, but my first thought was to just get back in the kayak as quick as possible."

Mr Kulcsar said that after struggling in the water for a minute, he was able to climb back in his kayak. The fishermen then pulled him into their boat.

The self-employed painter said he believed a quick change in steering direction had prompted the shark to focus on him.

"When it cruised past me, I thought I was safe, so I went as quickly as I could in the opposite direction," he said.

"I think that was my mistake, because then it turned around and chased me.

"If I had stayed still, I think I would have been OK."

The other kayakers sought refuge by "rafting" their kayaks next to the boats as the shark menaced them.

After a harrowing 10 minutes, it lost interest and swam away.

Mr Morgan, who was road-testing his new video camera, said he thought it was a whale until it came closer. "You don't realise how big they are until they're beside you," he said.

Mr Morgan said he would return to Long Reef today in the hope of capturing more footage of the shark.

"They usually stay there for a few days once they've come in, because there's a lot of food around," he said.

Mr Kulcsar, from Penrith, celebrated his escape by having a few beers on the beach with his rescuers.

"I'm not really shaken up at all. At the time I was, but now I'm just having a few beers," he said with a laugh.

"I was so lucky. It had a chance to get me, but it didn't want to."

The incident occurred a few hours before Sydney-to-Hobart race favourite Wild Oats XI collided with a 2m shark off Tasmania's east coast.

Mr Kulcsar's experience recalls an incident last year when a white pointer shark knocked a woman from her surf ski near Byron Bay.

Linda Whitehurst fought off the predator with her paddle.

Shark packs spark panic along coast

By Angela Harper
News.com.au
December 28, 2008 07:31pm

MARAUDING three-metre sharks in waist-deep water have sparked panic and closed beaches on a southeast Queensland holiday island.

More than 30 broad-nosed sharks, thought to be aggressive bull sharks, sent swimmers scurrying from the water on North Stradbroke Island, off the coast of Brisbane.

A Surf Life Saving Queensland spokesman said the Westpac rescue helicopter reported multiple packs of sharks at numerous beaches and sounded alarms to evacuate swimmers, before chasing the sharks out to sea.

"Bull sharks hunt in packs and they were in packs," the spokesman said.

"They (the helicopter crew) said there were a lot of sharks, many more than they'd seen before with no bait fish around."

About 20 people were evacuated from the water, with 10 swimmers evacuated from Amity Point, where Sarah Kate Hiley, 21, was fatally mauled by a shark in January 2006.

The sharks were also spotted off Point Lookout and Main Beach.

Lifesavers have been on high alert since Western Australian man Brian Guest, 51, was believed to have been taken by a shark yesterday morning while snorkelling for crabs with his son, south of Perth.

The lifesaving service spokesman said there were also reports of shark sightings along the popular Gold Coast beaches, but none were confirmed by the helicopter.

He said sightings always increased when there were reports of shark attacks in the news.

"There were a few sightings earlier (today) which is usual when you hear the media talking sharks," he said.

"Days like today, when it's overcast, and the water is dark, it looks sharky (sic)."

There was no explanation for so many sharks to be hunting so close to the shore on Stradbroke Island, he said.

The peak period for sharks is during February and March when bait fish proliferate.

I received ONE reply, telling me all was well & whats my problem?
The irony is that I want to use this company's services, they are by far NOT the cheapest providers of on line file storage providers,however I found them to be reliable and when the company was called Move Digital it worked!!!

If this company no longer wants my business (or yours) then is it asking too much for me to expect them to tell me they don't so I can make other arrangements ?

Chicago's Islamic "Al Taquia" Bus spreading the lies of Islam

A Chicago bus..in Islam's "Western Capital" as Louis Farrakhan proclaims.

" Now I see the lying bastards are trying to sell to idiot sheep that Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus were Muslim. I am furious at the number of people who will actually BELIEVE THIS!"

"Soft Jihad...get ready it's coming...beginning in Obama's home town; the same guy who doesn't celebrate the birth of Jesus. But then, Muslims don't celebrate Christmas."

Teen Raped in pool on school excursion..........

Gemma Jones and David Barrett
Daily Telegraph
Saturday 13 /12 / 2008 Pg. 7

A 15-year-old girl was raped by a gang of five high school boys on a school excursion, police said yesterday. Officers arrested the students — the youngest aged 12 — on their school bus as they returned to their western Sydney high school from Jamberoo Recreation Park on Thursday afternoon.

The girl, an Illawarra high school student also on an end-of-year excursion, and a friend reported their terrifying ordeal to staff. The girl claimed she was surrounded by the pack before the youngest boy used his hand to assault her. She claims she was also sexually assaulted by a 15-year-old boy. A friend she was swimming with said she was also surrounded and allegedly indecently assaulted by the older boy.

Police sources said both alleged offenders were of Middle Eastern descent and attended a high school in Sydney's Western Suburbs. Another three students arrested on the school bus as it climbed Mt Ousley near Wollongong were taken to Port Kembla police station. They were later released pending further inquiries.

Superintendent Mick Plotecki said the alleged assaults were appalling: "I'm shocked by the ages of the youths involved and any right-minded person would be. It's appalling to think that boys of this age could be involved in something like this."

Jamberoo Action Park general manager Dax Eddy said the alleged assaults occurred in the park's Rapid River pool. He said three girls from an Illawarra secondary school complained to park staff about 2pm. He said the complaint "fitted the description of indecent assault".

The girls were all from the same school and were among about 30 school groups visiting the popular South Coast tourist park on Thursday, Mr Eddy said. The boys are believed to be Year 7, 8 and 9 students from an all-male secondary school in Sydney's west.

Mr Eddy said a park supervisor was on duty at the pool at the time of the alleged assaults. "It appeared that the boys and girls were part of a group of 15 or so that were swimming and involved in a bit of general horseplay," he said. "We're quite disturbed about this."The charged teenagers were granted conditional bail by police and are due to appear in Port Kembla Childrens Court on January 5.

The Religion of Peace.....oh and don't forget gang Rape of Infidels,whenever the opportunity arises.

Maybe these "alleged offenders" from "an all-male secondary school in Sydney's west" aka.Sydney's "occupied territories", have been watching too much television (see above video) from the parts of the world they or their parents / grand parents, RAN away from, because, according to them, the manifestations of their Religious beliefs and social structures were not good enough for them, and as such sought to live in a country that had rejected the Religious and social manifestations of Islam,that is Australia, a nation founded on Judeo / Christian Western Democratic principles,well that's what they and their apologists here tell us is the reason they should be allowed to wash up on our shores and set up their colonies here under threat of been labeled racists and "Islamophobic",aka. a rejection of Godless savagery, by these descendants of Islams " golden age of enlightenment " who,according to Australia's leftists UN lick spittle's "have so much to give to Australia's diverse and Multicultural society".

If these attacks are another incidence of this "Allah's" brave son's exerting their Allah given authority over the Infidel "Aussie sluts", then lets hope the Socialist State Labor government of NSW, Kevin 07's, NSW branch, does not side with their Multicultural UN masters, and order the investigation / prosecution be delayed as long as possible in the hope the victims give up and go away, as was the case in the infamous Bilal Skaf gang rapes of "Aussie Pigs and Sluts "

I do believe that the Jamberoo Recreation Park management,in the event the alleged offenders were convicted,could be liable for substantial damages for dereliction of a duty of care by the victims,for not providing extra security to attend on the day of the alleged attacks,after accepting a booking from a school from Sydney's "occupied territories" knowing that there would also be children from "Non occupied territories" attending their facility on the same day,female school children of non Islamic Australian background, or as described by their alleged attackers spitual leaders "uncovered meat"
The Islamic colonialists who now inhabit the south western suburbs of Sydney and their tax payer funded "community leaders" have made it clear since they established their "colonies" with the assistance of the socialist,Australian Labor Party (funded by the Australian Council of Trade Unions, ACTU) what they think of Australian's and especially what they think of Australian women, aka. "Aussie Pigs & Sluts"
Australian women and girls, are, according to their Islamic spiritual leaders,holy men, "uncovered meat" and as such are fair game for their brave sons of this "Allah" they worship.

I don't have a daughter,I have a mother,a sister,two beautiful sister in laws,two of the most beautiful nieces any Uncle could ever have, and the most beautiful woman on earth that I love dearly,If any of these swine, Islamic or other,were to attack them my first reaction would be to give them a 12 gauge between the eyes, however, in Australia only the rapists (Islamic and other) and drug dealers and all sorts of other ALP,leftist "Che" and now "Hugo" pin up boys and girls anti law and order romanticised criminal scum are in possession of fire arms, so me, and all other non Islamic, non criminal non Multicultural Australians have to rely on the UN's "new age" "critical legal theories" legal system, to prosecute the offenders in our society, what chance do non Islamic, non criminal Australian victims of crime have of receiving justice, when the creators and facilitators of the Islamic, Multicultural mayhem, are also in charge of the alleged preventative first line against crime, their new age equal opportunity "Police service ", the law makers and judges who preside over these scum should they occasionally, God forbid, be brought before them?

Americans,NEVER surrender your GUNS!!!!!!
Make Obama and his Godless goons prise them out of your "cold dead hands".

Australians did,and now,the lowest of the low from all over the world and rabid "Middle Eastern dogs" roam our streets fully armed, doing whatever they want,under the protection of the lefts LAW of thou shalt not criticise the UN's divisive cult of Multiculturalism who's only purpose is to destroy Western Judeo / Christian democracy and impose the Godless Humanist New World Order of the Left.

Mumbai: Would he (captured Islamic terrorist) be able to explain why he hates us so?

Fascinated by fanatics

David Burchell
The Australian
December 08, 2008

THE attention spans of Western citizens are limited nowadays. And much as we truly, honestly, meant to keep the people of Mumbai in our minds, the images of the jihadist assault there faded away to ghosts within a matter of days. After all, India is a mysterious faraway place, terrorist outrages have become wearisomely familiar and, for once, it seemed these terrorists at least didn't want to kill us. Instead it seemed they were caught up in some atavistic sub-continental dispute over a dusty, disputed territory called Kashmir, a half-world away.

Only one image stayed behind with us, a little like the Cheshire Cat's enigmatic smile in that Lewis Carroll tale. When Indian sources reported that one of the Mumbai terrorists had been captured alive and was co-operating with police, our interest was piqued for a time. What was he like, this apparently calm, neatly dressed, baby-faced young man we'd seen on that closed-circuit television footage from Mumbai's CST train terminal? What makes him tick? And then that question, which has animated us since the events of 9/11: Would he be able to explain why he hates us so?

Ever since the siren song of romanticism gripped the fluttering hearts of the Western intelligentsia in the first half of the 19th century, we've been captivated by the idea of getting inside the heads of the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know. Serial murderers, petty mafiosi, posturing gun-toters of all kinds are grist to our mill.

Like so much else that is purely vicarious and lifestyle generated, we're often pleased to give this preoccupation the name of politics. But really it's just the urge to believe that extremists, people who flirt with the fringes of political madness, must be at bottom more interesting people than we are. And of course more alive, too. Which is to say, in a roundabout way, that we want to know more about what's wrong with us. It's cultural onanism masquerading as empathy.

And so, as might be expected, Western coverage of the incident was vague and rather confused. The captured terrorist was severally identified as Muhammad Kasab, or Ajmal Kasab, or Azar Kasav, or any of a number of variations on these themes. (Indeed, his photo was still being labelled Kasab in this newspaper's weekend edition.) He was talked of as a "high-quality militant" from a middle-class background. Perhaps he was freely telling all; or perhaps he was being tortured with exotic Indian injections. On some accounts he was a kind of Islamist Houdini, who'd faked death in extraordinary ways; on others he was an expert militant, programmed to blow up the Taj Mahal hotel, that monstrous pleasure-dome of decadent pagan Mumbai, with a righteous cache of high-explosive.

Meanwhile the less romantic reality was available to readers of India's fine English-language newspaper The Hindu, through the agency of its outstanding terrorism correspondent, Praveen Swami. As Swami painstakingly detailed almost a week ago, the young terrorist's name is in reality Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman. (The word Kasai - misheard by his Hindi-speaking interrogators - is actually the name of his family's caste in the lowly butchers' community of Pakistani Punjab.) And he's neither a hardened militant, nor a glamorous Ocean's Eleven-style saboteur, nor evidently a high-quality anything.

Born to a snackfood cart driver and a downtrodden housewife in a dirt-poor rural community in southern Punjab, young Iman was booted out of the family home at an early age, and took to a life of petty crime. While shopping for a handgun in a Rawalpindi bazaar, he was handed a pamphlet advertising the political wing of the Pakistani-based jihadist group Lashkar-e-Toiba, and, lured by the prospect of professional weapons-training, he decided to join.

A year or so afterwards young Iman found himself aboard a heaving inflatable boat bound for Mumbai. A few hours later again, on a roaring Kalashnikov high, he'd discharged several AK-47 magazines into the crowds at Mumbai's historic railway station, randomly killing as many as 55 people. Among his victims were six hapless members of a Mumbai Muslim family, the Ansaris, on their way to a village holiday ceremony. (Their five-year-old boy, Firoze, still asks for his parents.)

In short, Iman is that most familiar of figures from the supposedly fervent, intense, highly strung world of jihadist extremism. He's the gullible patsy, the man who does the dirty work.

In the Lashkar training camps in rural Pakistan they feed the raw recruits on a diet of weapons training and pseudo-Koranic sermonising: the same stuff David Hicks faithfully regurgitated to his mum about the need to kill all the Jews before Judgment Day, when even the rocks will cry out "There's a Jew hiding behind me!". For light entertainment the recruits are treated to grainy video footage of purported Indian atrocities in Kashmir (which may well be the same footage presented to recruits elsewhere as Israeli atrocities in Palestine).

Contrary to our romantic fantasies, these bewildered, otherwise purposeless young men aren't fired by some Byronic desire to recover the national homeland of Kashmir and thus reunite their divided souls. Rather, they're taught that unbelievers across the entire world are engaged in a concerted campaign to exterminate Islam and that the final battle has begun. They're like a marginal young Westerner with mental health issues who decides to self-medicate on premium-grade ganga. The whole scene is about as romantic as a back-street bus shelter littered with used syringes.

In point of fact it's not so difficult to fire up a few dozen disordered young males with the urge to kill others en masse, if that's your desire. All you need, when it comes down to it, is an incendiary ideology that serves to divide the world imaginatively into great camps of exploited and exploiters, righteous and unrighteous, clean and unclean, saved and damned, and which hands its acolytes the authority of the avenging deity. That, and unlimited stocks of ammunition.

We Westerners should surely know this better than anyone. After all, it was we who looked the other way while Stalin rid his country of traitors and saboteurs, Hitler purged the German volk of its unclean elements, the Northern Irish militias took God's work upon themselves, and the Baader-Meinhof brats separated their country into good Germans and bad Germans, and proceeded to murder the latter.

No wonder Indians are worried by our palpable lack of attention in their time of mourning. As absent-minded romantics we have serious form.

Islamic terrorism is and has only been allowed to inflict it's atrocities on the west because of the willingness of the left to accept Islam and it's demented followers as an ally in it's fight against their common enemy Judeo / Christian Western Democracy, the Islamists and the Socialists have conqured Europe the USA is all that remains,the remaining democracies are all but chicken shit without the military backing of the USA against the International Socialists and their mad attack dogs,Islam.
Is the war  lost ? I am not prepared to admit defeat at this point in time, however lets say the war against International Socialism is lost, I cant tell you how much I am going to enjoy watching the "left light" Hollywood's beautiful people,elists,school teachers,unionists, free thinkers and self described progressives, squeal as they are tethered to the yoke of International Socialism / Islamism

AMERICANS on no account give up your GUNS.

Joy to the World !!!! ,Jordanian man regains Honour

Girl strangled slowly in sick 'honour killing'
The Daily Telegraph
December 02, 2008 12:00am

A JORDANIAN man slowly strangled his 16-year-old married sister, using wire and the girl's scarf, after she visited a female friend because he had to "cleanse family honour".

After jailing the unidentified 20-year-old man for seven years, Judge Hassan Amayreh said: "It took him 30 minutes to strangle his sister to death with a metal wire and her own scarf." The girl, who had been married for six months, died in January in the Gaze refugee camp in the town of Jerash, north of the capital.


"I handed down the defendant a 15-year sentence on Sunday, but his family gave up their legal rights and the sentence was reduced," Hassan Amayreh said.

In such cases in Jordan, if family members drop charges against those who carry out the crime, a court usually commutes or reduces sentences. Amayreh said the brother "has confessed, and claimed that he killed his sister to cleanse his family's honour after her husband complained that she regularly disappeared from home without a reason". Girls under 18 can legally get married in Jordan. "She was killed six months after her marriage, and investigations proved that she was visiting her female friend, and not somebody else," the judge said.

In Jordan, between 15 and 20 women are murdered annually in the name of "honour." Last year around 17 such killings were recorded. Perpetrators get reduced sentences as parliament has refused to reform the penal code to ensure harsher sentences, despite campaigns by local and international human rights activists.

So-called "honour killings" are a massively controversial issue within the Muslim world and beyond. Although a tradition in some teachings of Islam, they are increasingly criticsed by moderate Muslims around the world and by Westerners.
