20101026.
As a leap upto being 'net-savvy, I'm gonna try converting the lay of each day's date to, as above, in the year/month/day order.
“You shouldn't sign-away your Soul just for money”. Unquote Professor Dave Mountain, on ABC RN Breakfast 07.58am.
What an amazing thing to hear from the mouth of an Australian, the eighth lowest nation in the world on the scale of being wasteful, materialistic, most over-consumptive, wealth-before-Integrity people on Earth!
But "Well Said" Professor, nevertheless, and nevermind your uni tenure contract...! and mortgage, and 3 negatively geared houses in realty heaven? (Joking sire!)
Protester throws shoe at Howard (http://www.abc.net.au/news/video/2010/10/26/3048059.htm)
“Former prime minister John Howard has dodged a pair of shoes thrown at him by an anti-war protester.”
Watching the little chappie on the ABC's online video replay, Howard DID NOT 'dodge' the shoes a Righteous audience member threw at him. From the side-view, he didn't even flinch.
A very minor correction from me, but minor or not, it is an example of the media's want, urge, attempt to sensationalise anything that might draw an audience.
Well Done! Young Fella Shoe Thrower, and a Right-On to your Lady Friend, too, who followed you out of the studio, telling Howhard that he has blood on his hands!
Not surprising that some of the audience shouted abuse at the couple. Further examples of the beggared, moral-free nature of the idiots who supported the little tyrant Johnette Howhard.
And where was Howhard's witch-wife Jeanette lurking during the program? Did anyone see her flying round the studio scaffold on her broom?
The following is dumped from the ABC online website item about the 'Q&A' Howard-publicity show last night:
'He also received a video question from former Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks, who asked him if he stood by his support of the system that saw Mr Hicks imprisoned for over five years.
Hicks not a hero
But as with many of his answers the former prime minister held firm on his actions regarding Mr Hicks.
"In relation to the military commissions, we put a lot of pressure on the Americans to accelerate the charges being brought against David Hicks, and I remind the people watching this program that David Hicks did plead guilty to a series of offences," he said.
MY COMMENT: Further evidence that David Hicks was, and as likely still is, an Honest Man, and also one who was/is able to weigh-up all the information/evidence/media reports etc, and conclude, correctly, that the trumped-up 'intelligence' propaganda against the Iraq of 2001/2/3 and against it's then-President Saddam Hussien, was wrong on WMDs, (as well as Iraq being implicated for the 9/11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon) and also that the USA GW Bush Administration was racist, anti-Islam and tyrannical. Guilty, no-less, of war crimes and crimes against Humanity.
Hicksie, in my opinion, showed then, before he was arrested and shipped to Guantanamo Bay, the Righteous Courage that by-far the majority of Australians, men and women, lack totally, and he showed he had the Integrity to put his Moral Courage and his Convictions before his own life.
Q&A: "David Hicks trained with Taliban” Howard prattled on, on Q&A, “David Hicks was associated with groups that were behaving in a manner that was completely opposed to the interests of this country, and the idea that we should see him as a hero is very misplaced."
MYCOMMENT: Without going too far, IF.., Hicksie's manner '…. was completely opposed to the interests of this country..' then perhaps it was because he saw with Honorable eyes, that Australia's interests are about as immoral as a nation's people could be.
A typical element of the farcical nature of these sensationalist media events, is that the questioner gets their 30 seconds or so, to put their point, but gets no chance to either debate the person they are asking, or to follow-up or criticise what they say. So the likes of Howhard are allowed to get unwarranted airtime putting, unchallenged, their perverted point of view. But no-one would dare suggest that he paid the ABC for the showtime to promote his book?
Hardly 'balanced media'?
However, Hicksie and a lot of us, KNOW that no matter what time and questions were given to his like for any 'expand-and-answer', eloquent bastards like Howhard excel in skirting around any facts in their answers, and make an art of wasting everyone's time with rhetorical 'Orwellian' bullshit.
If only, aye 'Shoe-Thrower', Howard's kind could see how sick, how mentally ill they are?
'He also defended his decision to send Australian troops into Afghanistan and Iraq, using the justification of weapons of mass destruction.
"It's all very well to sneer, but if you have evidence - material presented to you - indicating that those weapons do exist and you ignore that and subsequently they are used against you, then you have every right to be condemned as having neglected the interests of the country," he said.
The classic line abused by spies and their bureau chiefs... “it's all very well.... etc etc rahrahblah...”
Sure, it's very easy to criticise afterwards, from such as my little hollow, when leaders (HAHAHAHA!) make wrong decisions. Howhard has NEVER accepted responsibility for incorrect and inhumane policies, decisions or 'intel', as he passes-over here. As he was the nation's leader, thus was the leader of our 'intelligence services' (HAHAHAHA!), the responsibility falls on HIM to ensure that the operatives, and their sources were up to the task, and that they were capable of collecting FACTUAL info, evidence, 'intel' etc, in the first place.
This, and the crimes against Humanity that followed British PM Tony Blair's, US President George Bush's and Johnette Howhard's WRONG conclusions and decisions to invade Iraq, and the ongoing devastation of not just Iraq, but the whole region which has ensued, shows us that the intel services (MI6, the CIA, ASIO et al) were appallingly below the job they were/are employed to do.
But again, I say that something, back down the line, perhaps to where these superspies were employed, and by-whom, was deeply, even criminally, flawed.
As seems to be the way things work in these potential democracies of Britain, the USA and Astrayliar, 'the buck stops at the top'.
Therefore Blair, Bush and Howhard have to bear the brunt of being charged with failing to ensure their information/intelligence operatives were upto their assigned tasks.
A Proper Inquiry would go right through the decision-making processes, and put every person, every 'link' in the chain-of-command, from Bush and Blair, Howard, and the respective defence ministers and secretaries down through the military commanders, and all the consultancies, spin doctors and advice bureaus in the dock.
In light of the ongoing carnage and loss of life effecting the Middle-East since the invasion of 2003, the, any, Inquiry, must bring charges of 'crimes against Humanity', and whichever charges befit these blatant attempts at destroying the fabric of Iraq's way of life, and culture. Not to mention the clear attacks against Islam as much motivating the war as the totally immoral, because of our 'sinful' unsustainable western culture, invasion to get the oil.
Such undeniable points add weight to the Rectitude of the Righteous exposure last week, by WikiLeaks, of details about the war crimes our 'allied', ...not MY allies.., troops committed in Iraq.
If an Inquiry finds some of our Aussie troops guilty of war crimes, in actions which took the lives of innocent Iraqi civilians, men, women and children, would Howard and coven continue to assert that the convicted troops were acting in the interests of Australia. Would he, continue to abuse the 'unAustralian' word against the likes of Hicksie or WikiLeaks Director, for seeking to bring some Justice to the world?
Once upon a time, the people had allies against tyranny. But since the tyrant Howard and coven seem to have broken the Spirit of our Unions, we are left floating in fear and trepidation.
So, while David Hicks would shun 'Hero' labels, (the label I refrain from attaching to his name, as he prefers) it is clear to the clear-minded that he followed his conscience into life-threatening situations, and knowing he might be caught and imprisoned, as he was in Guantanamo, he was still prepared to do the Right Thing.
Something, we can be CERTAIN, Howard, Costello, Downer, Ruddock and the rest of the madmen of our government of the day, (and of course, the USA's Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al, Britain's Blair, Campbell, et al), or any of us who voted for them, WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN CONSIDERED, LET ALONE DONE!
Dr David Kelly, Britain's Ministry of Defence scientist and Iraqi weapons expert apparently suicided after releasing his report which concluded there were no Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
First, I have serious reservations, no matter what further inquiries tell us, about reports that he suicided.
Bureaus such as the British MoD are made-up of megalomaniacs with official escape clauses for any criminal behaviour, covering their evil activities, and today we all know the powers these mad bastards are only too hypnotically-ready to deploy against any who challenge their government's warmongering agendas.
Second, Kelly, if he did suicide, died Honorably, in the knowledge of what the pricks were set on doing to him, or his family, et al, once he released his evidence, yet he went ahead and sought to make it known that his government, and that of the USA and Australia, were psychotic bastards and that they should NOT invade Iraq.
Typical of the current global tyranny, of the 'new world order', to eliminate the Honorable.
So it may be right to conclude that no evidence would have stopped the oil-hungry western elites from invading and plundering the oil-rich Middle-East.
Therefore, the only conclusion any Honorable person could make is to oppose the west, whatever the consequences to themselves.
More than any of our so-called 'politicians' have the Courage to admit, Hicksie will always be regarded by many many Aussies and others, as a Righteous and Humble Hero, who acted not-at-all against Australia, but for the Greater Good, no matter which creed, color or nationality they are.
Such Behaviour, is unquestionably in the interests of Australia and her people, beggared and terminally corrupt though they are.
Q&A: "I will continue to defend, as I extensively do in my book, the original decision on the basis it was taken."
On the issue of asylum seekers, Mr Howard denied his policy was racist, after an audience member said at the time of the 2001 election she had felt ashamed to be Australian.
"If you have a capacity to take a fixed number of refugees a year... and if people come here in an irregular way and they knock out of the refugee intake a place that would otherwise go to somebody that has waited patiently for their turn, don't you think that's a tad unfair on the people who have waited patiently?" he said.
MY COMMENT: As with all of the Howard regime's policies, it's all about pandering to their upclub, upper-crust, upemselves rich mates, Astrayliars and from offshore, who can afford, or, whose daddies can afford, to have them both stay living in some semblance of comfort in their 'afflicted' homelands - each nation has an elite who can live where they damn-well like - and without being terrorised by their governments, can slide into this realtor's paradise down-under via an upclub airline, or perhaps even a P&O cruise-liner!
But, seeing as “Reason”, “Honor”, “Integrity” and “a fair go” for the underprivileged, have evaporated today, in a haze of magic potions and over-confident bullshit, in media, on the streets, in our parliaments and religions, the crude credo of today is that NO-ONE gets a fair go anymore.
'SPECIALLY, if'n you're NOT completely ready to sell your Soul and your Principles for a Jewish or Catholic contract with the offshore banking and real estate devils.
'He also delivered a critique of the state of federal politics since the 2007 election, maintaining Kevin Rudd would have won the last election with a full majority.
MY COMMENT: Howard is playing his typically tyrannical divide-divide-divide card here. A sick little man, indeed.
PM Gillard did not want to do what she did when she called on Rudd and deposed him. But she and her cabinet saw that they desperately needed a 'circuit-breaker' against the torrent of Murdoch media slime pre-election, which, with Tiny Habit's pathetic slander, was aiming at the man, and not the policies.
As it was, Kevin Rudd might have won, but not by any margin Howard suggested.
But Mr Howard said Mr Rudd's decision to delay an emissions trading scheme was his biggest mistake, as "the most important thing to do as a leader is to stick to what you believe in".
"The worst mistake Kevin Rudd ever made was to go to water on the emissions trading system," he said.
MY COMMENT: Here we go again! Howard says it's best for a leader to stick with what they believe in.
I put it that Rudd was not so faithfully-blind that he would do such a thing, if the Scientific Evidence showed otherwise.
There were errors in the ETS, such as, as I put in those months, the ETS avoided including the agricultural sector's contribution to pollution, and that the agri-sector, our overly influential upclub farmers, have to make SERIOUS changes to their methods to reduce the HUGE amount of pollution they emit.
If Kevin Rudd saw flaws in the proposed ETS, and that it was less-then-effective in achieving what it was designed to achieve, then Rudd was Correct to 'pull-it'.
That, to my mind, shows more Integrity in him and in his leadership than any of Howard's delusional attitudes to leadership.
“Going to water...” was in fact Rudd's Honorable and Humble readiness to acquiesce to the Facts, which as Howard and Tiny Habit will never know, is how best to govern.
'While saying it was too early to pass judgement on Julia Gillard's performance as Prime Minister, he commended Opposition Leader Tony Abbott as a Liberal hero, and the only person fit to lead the Coalition to the next Federal election.
"I think the Liberal Party would be mad to have anybody else... I think Tony Abbott has earnt the right to lead the party without challenge to the next election."
MY COMMENT: HAHAHAHA!
And a HAHAHA! Supported unusually, by a poll released today, I think by Newspoll, of Murdoch's upclubsters, which showed that Tiny Habit has a “better leader than Gillard” approval rating of 30-something percent, against her 52-or-so % rating as more preferred than the Habit.
Further proof, OOP? I'm believing a Murdoch opinion poll...?!?!?
Well, with the polled gap between Habit and Gillard evidently so wide, at least some strong support for the reality that Howard is and always was, a seriously stupid and deluded little person.
If not “a divisive little cunt”....? unquote, several politicians dating back 30 years, from Labor AND Liberal Parties.....
