OIL FOR FOOD SCANDAL!

This is truly a RED HERRING and although our p.m. is in the question box to-day - and well reharsed as he saw the questions yesterday - we'll hear the same old waffle rather like the Three Monkeys:'One of them 'Saw no evil' the second one 'heard no evil' the third one 'spoke no evil.' That doesn't mean the latter told the truth though....

IRAN and nuclear energy

I find it is an abomination that the Bush Administration (?) would even consider bombing
Iran because they want nuclear energy - and that they - the most powerful nation in the world -
America - fears nuclear technology being used to bomb America.

Iran is a small country, yet I see Russia, Germany and France and China are all calling for a calm level-headed decision to be made. And why? Because they can see the world wide catastrophe that will result in any aggressive action taken by the Yanks against Iran.

INSANITY....

George W. Bush has lost the plot. He's ruined Irak, had well over 2,000 American troops murdered by this futile war and Condoleeza Rice seems no wiser or saner.

Another insane Richard Nixon. Only far, far worse...and far more lethal...

Australia is going to sell our uranium to India and China. As they develop nuclear energy, will America threaten to bomb them too?

In the 1960's China had a population of TWO BILLION. Now, in the year 2006, figuring modestly, the population must at least be FOUR BILLION. So no way is America going to start a war with China...

Those countries in the Northern Hemisphere are war mad. They always have been and
as man enjoys war and killing and rapine and slaughter and torture, then off we go again.

Indonesia, with its disgraceful history of torture and cruelty, has no b..... right to tell us what to do when the people from West Irian escape to Australia to avoid torture.

We were the first nation to get off our backsides and help Indonesia when the Force 9 Earthquake shattered part of their island.

Back right off, Indonesia.

Dear heaven, how much longer does George W. have in the White House?

When, and its only a matter of WHEN, the Yanks lose their block and kick off WW.3
let us work together as a Nation to keep all our troops here to defend us.

Maybe our Jog-trotter will have a heart attack, maybe we'll find a leader who is a Statesman.

Maybe pigs will fly.

RED HERRINGS!

The headline news in Australia, and other countries that believe they will benefit,
is all about our wheat and the oil crap in Irak.

We all know politicians lie through their teeth, false or otherwise, but this particular
'RED HERRING' is not only ruining Australia's future sales of wheat and therefore our
hard working Men on the Land, it isn't doing much for our Export earnings or income
for the Men on the Land and their families.

This particular RED HERRING is obscuring the shocking sackings taking place since
the Federal Government brought in its new rulings re the dismissal of staff without
any reason having to be given.

There is shock, depression, horror, dismay, disbelief and, in many cases, as a result
of this new enactment, poverty.

Eventually the Government will be hit with payouts for the newly unemployed as
irrevocablly many of the newly sacked people will be 'too old' 'too highly skilled'
'not skilled enough' ..... the list goes on .... to be re-employed when they endeavour to
seek another job.

We have a new Dictator in our midst.

There's no-one in the Labor Party who can lead the country. Given a term in opposition
we Australians had a potentially great Prime Minister in Mark Latham. But the Yanks
were deeply concerned that he wouldn't obey them, as does our present encumbant.

So Latham was undoubtedly 'warned' that his children might 'go missing' if he
continued to lead the Labor Party. That warning originated from 'Overseas'.

He who is "I am Quite Satisfied" will, in a long tragic run to our workers, come to
a tragic realisation himself - but only when its too late for Australia - that he made
a grave error.

WAKE UP, WORKERS, UNITE, STRIKE, ACT, THINK!!!!!!!

Above All, T H I N K!

DE-HUMANISING in general

I'll bet the Indonesian Ambassador to Australia would (secretly) prefer to be back here.
The inhabitants leaving Western Papua New Guinea have every right to leave their country
when they are being tortured by the Indonesians. They might be wiser to head for the
Eastern half of their Island, via the sea of course, and then come to Australia.

In this MARVELLOUS(????) 21st Century man's inhumanity to man is as rife as ever.

The Yanks have Guantanomo Bay, we have the Baxter Detention Centre, to our grave
shame and disgrace ---- and waste. YES WASTE. Those inmates should be put to work
digging out our once great river systems. These river systems began in The Great Dividing
Range in Queensland and were fed by the monsoon rains. The plentiful water then filled
up wonderful old rivers like the great Diamantina, the Barwon and others, that have
silted up over our two hundred years of occupancy.

This river system was being opened up by some plitician with vision about fifty years ago. Almost impossible to imagine a politician of today with VISION. Let alone imagination.

'I am quite satisfied'. Our Top Fat Cat looks 'Quite Satisfied'. Why not, Bush (George W)
tells him what to do and he does it.

Our Unions are toothless tigers. Our workers can get sacked on the spot. What's the
betting we'll see how many more jobs are available???

Cowra, where over 20 abattoir workers were sacked then the bulk of them offered
their old jobs back 'on contract' and $180 a week less pay. It's a joke, Joyce. One thing you can bet on is the price of meat won't come down in the shops.

Tragically, we are becoming an addition to America, but the America that is all greed,
all success no matter the cost.

As we old Australians die off, our only hope lies in the all too few young Aussies
who have listened to their grandparents and, as well, know the difference between
right and wrong, over greed and ambition at the expense of those who invest their
hard earned savings in companies that go broke and take all those 'savings' and
put them in their own untraceable pockets.

David Hicks is undoubtedly a Double Agent as no-one will own him. When he
put himself up for this role he knew his own country would deny him.

DE-HUMANISING is not new, but it sure is active in this shameful 21st Century.

Good old Mother Nature is giving the planet a series of well earned devastations.

And not even the great (he thinks) George W. Bush, or Condoleeza Rice can do a
thing about the sheer power of Mother Nature. Rice, of course, sees herself as the
next President of the U.S.A. I don't mind a black President, but I'm not sure of her
policies. I believe she'll be utterly ruthless.

Get out there and protest and force our politicians to think!

Finally, remember Carr got our State (N.S.W.) in this incredible mess. I'd like
a Royal Commission to look into his shady and dishonest running of this State.
He and his cohorts got out under very strange and rapid circumstances.

Now Kerry Packer has died there's no-one with the clout to challenge just
what Carr finangled for all those years. Ho Hum.

THE ABORTION PILL RU486

Mrs Vale is concerned that the right to use this pill will end up with Australians failing to
give birth to quantity, as opposed, in my view, to quality.

She envisages the muslims running this country in fifty years as a result of RU486.
I am impressed...

I see us having a dictatorship with the dictator being a muslim, yes, but only because
our Federal politicians are a such a weak bunch.

If Bush survives Cheyney's unfortunate habit of shooting buckshot, so to speak, and if
he doesn't, we see Condoleeza Rice as new President of the USA and whoever is our
then Prime Minister follows on being dictated to by the Yanks, then this all gives the
Moslems those fifty years as foreseen by Mrs Vale.

This leads me to wonder if we 'Pure' Aussies will be allowed access to our beaches?
IF we are, how will the Aussie girls be allowed to dress?

No booze fellas. No cartoonists... well that looks pretty mch the case now after Denmark
and the capacity of the moslems to TALK peace and ACT violently. Scaring the living
daylights out of the Westerners...

Might be a good idea to remind our politicians its time to bring back our soldiers from
Irak so they can defend the terrorism that exists in our own suburbs? This was PROMISED
by the end of 2004, then the end of 2005, and naturally those promises haven't been kept.

We don't even know who owns TELSTRA now that promise has been broken.

I expect I'll have my throat cut any day now that I've dared to have a say about our
moslem community.

Farewell (just in case) a long farewell to all my greatness.....

INDIVIDUALITY - THE CAPACITY TO T H I N K...

For the years I've been adding my thoughts, mainly controversial, it has been with the view that not only do I see events from a totally different aspect, but I also THINK about the consequences. I sincerely hope my readers do the same, whether you agree or not, doesn't matter, the fact that you THINK is what I care abou

As Australians we have, overall, lost our invidivuality and the ability to think for ourselves and take the LONG view.

There was a time after World War 2 when we "Rode on the Back of our Sheep'.
Hardworking farmers suddenly found themselves wealthy, a rare occurrence. Back then we could think independently and act independently, and state our ideas.

For probably some thirty years we have slowly been brainwashed by the media, by that terrible word RACISM and the many migrants that came out here after WW2 and endlessly critised us and our way of life.

As a result we have lost our unique way of life. Cronulla was a direct instance of this as there is no doubt we saw the police force bashing up and chasing the Australians away from those (of Middle Eastern Appearance!) who abused our beaches in the first place. In particular our young girls, and then went overboard when they bashed up our Lifesavers.

Our current Prime Minister is white and Australian, sort of, Bush cracks the whip and he and Blair jump.

Iran is standing up to that horrendous monolith that America has developed into.
A bit of History. Iran was once Persia. Persia once ruled an Empire larger than the British Empire of its day. Every dog has his day...

America has none of that history, just a polyglot mixture of races, of greed and hypocrisy and stupidity. Their masses have been brainwashed.

With the Muslims entering our police forces and allowed to wear their traditional headdress is such a bacward step for Australia, my mind boggles at the stupidity of my race. I dont mind Muslims entering the police force, but to wear their headdress is going to lead the Muslims into believing they will envision having one of their own as a future Prime Minister.

While this is still - more or less - Australia, could our more intelligent Aussies - and we do possess them in this current climate - start to clamour about us losing our individuality.

There isn't a country in the world today that isn't RACIST. White Africans are racist about Black or coloureds, White Yanks are racist about Black 'African Americans'. Jews are racist about the Palestinians, And vice-versa. Ant so it goes on. We were racist about the Aboriginals, and many Australians, sadly, still are.

RACISM isn't a dirty word, it is a tragic fact of our populations and their differences.

Free Trade with America is the farce we knew it would be. We now either turn off the TV or watch American trash. Now these trash progams actually clearly reveal how hypocritical and narrowminded the Yanks are. But they may also have a tragic affect on our young folk who think they too have to act the same way.

In the 1960s scientists told us what would happen to our climate and warned us to avoid what is now occurring with the weather all over the planet. Naturally we took no notice. So book in for the Nuclear Winter as Mother Nature teaches us her final lessons.

Goodbye Planet Earth.

Helloooo stark Reality....

I LOVE A SUNBURNED COUNTRY... (Dorothy Mackellar)

We old Australians were brought up on this poem by Dorothy Mackellar. And up until the recennt
Change of Events, I always will.

But I mourn for what has been done to our country. I am pleased I'm terminally ill and will
not live to see the tragedy, the shambles, that will happen that now we are no longer
(Unofficially) a Democracy.

All we old folk who still have our grey matter working - well we all welcome that final
Goodbye. Now.

The truth, is the truth is the truth, Goodbye Old Friend.

T H I N K ..... Now it is vital .....and even more vital to keep your trap shut!!!!

5th DECEMBER, 2005

Yesterday's (Sundays) Sunday Telegraph contained a fascinating article by a bloke who is on the ABC's 'GLASSHOUSE' He was commenting on the movie "Howard's Way". Somehow get a copy of this in the magazine section of that paper. He finished off by saying this would probably be his last article. He has a whole page, as he expected to be picked up for being seditious!!!

Today our magnificent politicians are determined to vote a great big AYE! for the anti-terrorism law.

Welcome to the New Australia, we will then be back to where we began. A Police Nation.

I'm endeavoring to send a mighty storm over Parliament House in the Capital City today.

Lightning is attracted to bone. Did you know that?

Never mind, in 'Howard's Way' he can always wear his Wideawake" bush hat....

May the ghosts of our wonderful soldiers from WW1 and WW2 and the Kokoda Trak
haunt the hallowed halls of Parliament House in Canberra.

IS THIS WHAT WE FOUGHT FOR AND GAVE OUR LIVES FOR????????

T H I N K...

While you are allowed to...But keep your trap shut!!!!
