Outlaw Junction News-Chop

Starting this 1st of June 2011, is “Outlaw Junction” News-Chop, an independent blog reviewing and critiquing daily, when possible, news items.
Mobile Phones may cause brain cancer.
The World Health Organisation has come out with a warning that over-use of mobile phones may cause brain cancer.
Might explain why society is going nuts?
While still a relatively new phenomenon, it's been at least a few years since the first reports emerged saying that this was possible.
That the WHO has finally committed itself to such reports, says a lot, I guess. But, having had a few mobiles for about 10 years all-up, I recall in the early days getting 'strange' headaches while I was using the mobile more. Early reports were fobbed-off as scare-mongering by the industry, exactly like tobacco corporations do with their heinous product, which, these days, should ring alarm bells for most of us.
Now, I use the speaker and hold the phone in front of my mouth, which probably means I'll be a candidate for lip cancer!
Fortunately, I use it but once a week now, if that.
But, seriously, we are fools to so eagerly and blindly embrace these new technologies. Must we be reminded with such vicious results of the dangers of being seduced mainly by market advertising to adopt the use of new products like these gizmos.
This, if the threat of cancer, and not just a melanoma, but brain cancer, is established as fact, as I reckon it will be, is surely yet another example of how dangerous CRAPitalism is, when market forces, as they're called, mainly advertising and marketing corporations, who put profit well before any ethic, morality or consumer health concerns, and their heartless, mindless juggernaut corporate customers have the financial power to drown Scientific and health results and arguments under their BLAH of legal garbage.
But, all weighed-up, electro-magnetic radiation, E.M.R., has been with the 'modern world' since the first electrical power lines were constructed, so throwing straight to the precious, and questionably valuable mobile phone and it's dangers is forgetting most of such dangers. Dangers which, are, as likely, all around us in the 'modern household' what with all the electronic and electrical products constantly running, either in switched-on or stand-by mode.
Were our health authorities serious about such threats, surely they'd over-ride the BLAH from these product industry and marketing, and investigate publicly, the effects to health of the sum-total of electrickery all-over the place now?
Something that struck my thinks-tin a while ago, were questions of the need today, in Australia and the UK, etc., for us to have as standard voltage the Alternating Current of 240 volts. (UK has 220V, I think?)
I think that 240V strength was adopted here, one because we were connected umbilically to everything the UK did, but also because of the 'tyranny of distance' here in the wide brown, green and gold land, which required more UMPFPFFFH! to get the power across the deserts. But, the USA has always had 120 volts AC to cover the same expanse? What with today's hugely more efficient, as-in low-voltage and DC, appliances etc., surely... surely.... Australia can consider using half the 240 volts.
Another bonus we'd gain, were we to reduce by half the transmitted and used voltage, would be a reduction in the amount of power needed to generate the zaps. At least, I think that's the case, but am open to correction.
Of course, there'd as likely be a storm of opposition to that idea, from the 240volt junkies, and the armies of anti-anything-Max-says.
Fuck the latter!
And to the former, as an interim covering the transition, which would be most effected in the 240 volt-dependent households and light industry arenas, fare-enough, but for the overall benefits, if, as said, the cost of production would be halved, and thus household and industry power costs also, an affordable, government funded manufacturing industry making the product of a 120 volt AC-to-240 volt AC inverter could be simply created and the product installed, either in the premises, or in suitable zones, like suburban residential and light-industry blocks. These could be left to operate for however long it takes for everyone to change their appliances etc, to 120 volt, or, buy an inverter.
Perhaps a better idea again, is for every household to Go Green, and convert to 12 or 24 volt DC, thus operate all their appliances off renewable energy sources. Solar, Wind, Sewerage Bio-Gas, Bicycle, or from all the hot air they usually talk!
But if we were to be so Progressive and Wise, we'd all be calmly and quietly Meditating instead of talking the usual, excessive amounts of bullshit!
Either way, 120 volt AC, or 12/24 volt DC, power generation and the concomitant carbon and other pollution emissions would be reduced enormously. Also, methinks might cancer caused by excessive electromagnetic radiation be reduced?
Not that big energy corp would want that! But same-same as to the latter above!
In harmony with the dangers hidden of mobile phones, is the deadly addiction we've been sold, to tobacco.
On this, I have ta say, that the latest 'Anti-Cancer Council' TV advert, featuring the Comedian Fella from ABC's 7.30 Report Thursday evening rap-up (Your Name, Grand Sire, escapes me right now! Apologies!) is one of the Best I've seen, and no doubt, will win a huge vote for the Best Advertisement, both in Australia, and I reckon, worldwide. Fan-fucking-tastic Cobber!

Syria authorities demonised for alleged 'beating of a 13 year old'.
A report hit this morning of Syrian authorities allegedly using heavy-handed tactics on a 13 year old in the civil uprising, which the ever-so Noble US administration said was another reason to invade Syria, depose it's regime, insert a pro-western puppet, steal it's oil and make life for Syrians something similar to what they've done in Iraq. For an indefinite period, of course. 'Indefinite' meaning, 'until the oil runs out'!
Of course, the media report (on ABC Breakfast) said nothing of the sort, but the above is the Outlaw Junction REALPolitik and REALMedia deconstruction of that event, and I'd bet, far closer to the truth.
Not that Outlaw Junction necessarily supports Syria's regime. But HEY! Where does tyranny start and stop north of the equator???
Also, it's a bit rough-pineapple for the hardly clean USA authorities to use one report, just a report, of child abuse in Syria, to give weight to their campaign against anything not Freemason or Christian!
Arrrgh? HELL-OH!?!?! Both 'Masons and Christ-dumbs hold the world record of child-abusers-grossing-out, from child-labor through paedophilia!
But, by-all-and-any-means they will win the real estate, and the junk beneath it!

Foreign Farmers Party (the Nationals) federal leader Warren Truss slams proposed carbon tax for agriculture.
I haven't scanned Wikipedia yet on Warren Truss's extra-parliamentary income, but for some reason I suspect he has more than a sizey chunk of interest in his own cattle farming, and of course, the cattle industry in general.
So it's hardly surprising that he's been raced on to the airwaves denouncing any Wise and Intelligent government suggestions that agriculture should come under the 'carbon tax'!
As is monotonously typical of the increasingly desperate super-right wing of our political chickens, he tries to spin the line that the Australian farming industry is one of the most carbon-efficient (my terminology) of all farming on Earth.
Like YEAH! Wazza!
Like..., how does cattle farming, essentially for the necessary protein we all need, compare to horticultural production of vegetables, legumes, grains and other plant providers of protein, in the carbon emissions department?
Like, how much of your precious 'farming' community (Hell-OH! NFF!) is made-up of but lazy-arse cattle farmers, as compared to vegetable and other protein plant producers. Now-now, don't forget that vegies are healthy for the air and the soils and the waters, and Humans...., when not drowned in your other partners-in-environmental-crimes, corporate, Monsanto-type chemicals and fertilizers?!
And even then.., how many of your farming mates who are plant-growers, farm organically, and not on broad-acre lots. Lots.., acreages of massive, totally unsustainable, environment-and-biodiversity-destroying MONOCROP 'farms'?
From here, on the Outlaw Junction fringe, it looks as if you are boarding the same leaky, sinking boat of the federal ilLiberal slider-er-leader Tiny Habit!
But which lamb to the slaughter could possibly replace you, Wazza, at the head of the National party abattior?
Does Outlaw Junction foresee an extra barney within the rank ranks of the rotting right wing Lab-Nats coal-alition, with the deputy hung-out to dry also? NO-NO! NOT Barney again!!!
Days.., methinks...? Daze....!
Live Cattle exports to Indonesia halted.
Following-on from the previous Outlaw Junction News-Chop item, who of us really believes that our cattle farmers, who export their Brahmin cattle off to Indonesia and other nations for slaughter, care a fig about how the cattle are killed, or maltreated?
Come-orn! You feed the cattle on your farms purely to be killed and eaten. Were it not for the efforts of the softcocks, with whom I wholeheartedly agree and vocally defend, who have for generations fought for more humane treatment of animals bred for Human carnivorous consumption, especially in the slaughterhouses, that you'd voice or think any humane thoughts on what happens to the money-spinners you feed and truck-off to their death!
Also, what sort of bullshit is it that the rather beautiful Brahmin cattle are bred here for slaughter and consumption, when forever, they have been treated with the highest Respect by their owners in India?
It is the height of hypocrisy that our so-fucking-noble Australian cattle farmers express distress at the Four Corners exposay on the Indonesian maltreatment of our exported cattle!
Cattle are devastating to the environment, land, sea and air, as well, the over-consumption of 'red meat' is unhealthy, and.., AND..., the land area consumed by greedy, lazy cattle farmers - TWO cattle per acre - is the most unethical, unconscionable and uneconomic misuse of all our resources.
So, let's get the heads of the fucking breeders and cattle farmers on the block to account for the crimes they commit just by making an easy dollar from plonking cattle on this precious and delicate land surface.
Land surface area which could be employed environmentally sustainably and remedially for housing the millions of desperate Australians who are forced by the same demonic arseholes who keep land prices ridiculously high, to resort to a whole raft of criminal behaviour just to pay the rent, or mortgage!
Ban cattle farmers! As well as live cattle exports!
Currumbin Animal & Wildlife Hospital needs state government funding & Aussie Outlaw Support.
Last, for this bulletin, Currumbin has a Zoo of sorts, which I've never been to, which tends to injured and sick wildlife, as well as to other poorly animals in need of care.
They don't receive any funding from their Queensland government, which is a bit sad, and are in desperate need of financial support, to keep treating our wunnerful wildlife, injured I guess, mainly by dickheads in motorcars.
So, putting out to the Outlaw Ether, and to those others with Consciences, a Call for the Queensland government firstly, to dedicate at least $500,000 a year to that little Hospice for the Hanimalzzz, and perhaps, at a stretch - Bikers anonymous to have a Charity-Run to raise a few Bikie Bickies for the Koalas and other furries!
Never know, aye?
Remember Brothers and Sisters...
“When we do wrong, no-one forgets! When we do Right, no-one remembers...!”
Nice weather for a Koala Kruise, methinks?
Your call!
That'll do from Outlaw Junction, this first News-Chop.
More time, more battery-power, and less to do in putting a skin on me truck-house, and Outlaw Junction would be a regular daily on our political, social, cultural and other follies.
But, don't expect another Outlaw outburst! There's always some arsehole ready to fuck my day, and any plans toward making this shithole a better place to live.
There were other news items I thought I could generally can, but as said, other things run out...
I s'pose it's propa to tell what inspired me to rebrand Omaxa bin Laugha to Outlaw Junction?
Hmmm...?
A change!
Well, yeah, but also 'cause this little portal of Dissident Expression, has been seen by meself, as where perhaps the 3 Vital, most oppressed, outlawed mobs come together, at least in political opinion and voice.
No, I have absolutely no in-depth communication with anyone else, let-alone from my Three Wise Tribes of Aborigine, Greens and Bikers.
But, I guess, looking on the bright side of my exile, I am given the time to range through the universe of thoughts about the most crucial issues of this failing, 'fallen', culture, society and planet, and thus seem able to 'divine' perhaps from the collective of psychic emotions, some sense, or some oooOOOWH... Wisdom, about what we are at, and how and where we might be best to point ourselves.
Many hours of solitary, dedicated inquiry, research, thinkink and writink have gone into factual and fictional ideas about the Way.
In this, I came up with the Three Wise Tribes, of Aborigine, Greens and Bikers, because they are all marginalised, yet all, have tonnes of Wisdom, Intelligence and Honor, which would, put together in good format, provide the species with what I reckon would be a really really groovy Culture.
So, as no-one seems able to overtly voice Dissent from these Tribes (Plenty of Noble Aborigine Warriors, Male and Female excepted), let-alone see how the three can possibly come together, and as they all have Attitude seriously and gutlessly lacking in the mainstream, and as I can trumpet thoughts pretty widely, this would appear to be a suitable name or term for this portal.
A 'Junction' of Wise, Intelligent and Honorable Ideas.
Of course, already I divine, that 'outlaw junk' has been mouthed by the cheapest of word-associaters, a la the driberal/trashional party spin-crocters and right wing destroyers of anything of Merit.
ME! A cheap word-associater! NE-VA!!!!!
But, do I care...... (not even worth a question mark...)
All Praise the Immortals!
All Praise the Warriors who have fallen Fighting for a Just World!
