The Australia media has exploded with stories of sexual abuse in remote aboriginal communities. This article deals with the question of why now. This is not to deny the abuse - friends who work in these communities confirm the abuse - it's a matter of why the sudden interest by the media. Incidentally, the biggest abusers of aboriginal women and children are the cops, as you might expect. Just last week Western Australian cops used pepper spray to "subdue" a 10 year old Aboriginal girl ... read full story / add a comment

Michael Mc dowell wants an all party Dáil discussion on the use of force by people to protect thier homes from intruders. His comments were made public today in response to a story doing the rounds that FG leader Enda Kenny warded off two drugged up muggers who were about to knife him. Not to be outdone, big swinging Mickey has at last revealed the "poker wielding incident" when at age 19 he held a burglar to his parents house with a poker. Its part of a PD / FG exchange of little real worth which continues their implosion strategy as transfer of power. Until of course you see the subtle shift in our national narrative from Shakespearian drama, ( the black / white analogies of Othello & Titus Andronicus [ general Titus on his 38th day but really focussing his ire on the Labour party) to the dramatic works of Christopher Marlowe, the life of Edward 2nd and its introduction of "pokers" into the Western Armoury, remembering that real men used swords and halbards back then. & then of course the memorable "poker wielding incident" between Witgenstein and Popper. ... read full story / add a comment

The Zionists in Washington (Perle, Wolfowitz etc) have the entire Bush regime distracted. While America fights all of Israel’s major wars in the Middle East – to no advantage whatsoever for America – the most strategically important regions in the world are left to other nations. As world power shifts inexorably eastward, to China, America is at a loss to meet the challenges of the future. ... read full story / add a comment

John Howard was ‘surprised’ when he encountered the President of Indonesia, while taking his early morning walk in Jakarta, reported News Radio Australia. The report stated that Howard was “visibly shocked” by the unexpected encounter, which obviously was intended to deliver a clear message; the Indonesian President is not known for taking early morning walks, we can therefore conclude that his gesture was calculated. ... read full story / add a comment

The following report is on the People Before Profit website. Brid Smith (SWP) is to run as a People Before Profit candidate in next year's general election. Does this mean that Brid Smith will run against Cllr Joan Collins, who has an established base? If so, the left vote will be badly divided. Or is this a negotiating ploy by the SWP? Or, are Smith and Collins running in different constituencies? Let us hope they have worked out something and that the latter is true. ... read full story / add a comment

Just prior to the appointment of Ratzinger to Pontiff, I happened to cross the path of Cardinal George Pell in Pitt Street, Sydney, early one evening. I couldn’t help (politely) inquiring of him whether he was a man of God. He responded, much to my amazement, “I don’t know about, ‘man of God’, I am a Catholic Priest!” Regardless of anything previously stated by various commentators, his answer to me was forthright, candid and accurate (by his own admission). I was somewhat disarmed by his candour and manner, which was in contrast to his bearing and physical stature, he is a huge man around 6’ 5”, I would guess. ... read full story / add a comment

Senator Peter King ,chairman of the US House of Representatives' homeland security committee and long time friend of the Irish peace process has called for the prosecution of “treasonous” New York Times editors and journalists for reporting details of a huge US government spying operation. Since September 11 2001 the US Treasury Department has been secretly collecting financial data from the world’s largest financial communications network—the Belgium-based Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT. ... read full story / add a comment

Hamas denies this and states that the two brithers are merely the sons of a Hamas member.

On April 28 last, a section of the East Timorese army mutinied, ostensibly over pay. An eyewitness, Australian radio reporter Maryann Keady, disclosed that American and Australian officials were involved. On May 7, Alkatiri described the riots as an attempted coup and said that "foreigners and outsiders" were trying to divide the nation. The opportunity for "influence" arose on May 31, when the Howard government accepted an "invitation" by the East Timorese president, Xanana Gusmăo, and foreign minister, José Ramos Horta – who oppose Alkatiri's nationalism – to send troops to Dili, the capital. This was accompanied by "our boys to the rescue" reporting in the Australian press, together with a smear campaign against Alkatiri as a "corrupt dictator." Paul Kelly, a former editor-in-chief of Rupert Murdoch's Australian, wrote: "This is a highly political intervention … Australia is operating as a regional power or a political hegemon that shapes security and political outcomes." Translation: Australia, like its mentor in Washington, has a divine right to change another country's government. Don Watson, a speechwriter for the former prime minister Paul Keating, the most notorious Suharto apologist, wrote, incredibly: "Life under a murderous occupation might be better than life in a failed state…." ... read full story / add a comment |
