The Brack's Government is to spend $16 million on a counter-terrorism package towards fighting terrorism threats in and around Victorian ports, shipping lanes and coastal waters. (Frankston/Hastings Leader newspaper -reporter Donna Kelly). Five x 7.3 metre rapid response coastguard vessels are coming on stream to fight the claimed terrorism scourge. A single vessel will deploy out of Western Port, personnel including frogmen with night vision goggles and other equipment is included in the package.
The justification for the counter-terrorism package is an assessment by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation [ASIO] of Victorian ports being at risk from terrorist attacks. The State government's Police and Emergency Services Minister Tim Holding agrees with ASIO's assessment and supports heightened national security to protect our waterways. Minister Holding has decided to sign-on with the latest phase of government-sponsored terrorism booga! booga! Maybe Holding identifies a package for adulation and promotion, and how cool it will be to ride around on the rapid response ocean-going coastguard vessels? The counter-terrorism package appears to align with the ministers penchant for military history, as he is busy pushing a slice of para military history.
It would be useful to review where ASIO sits in their attitude toward terrorism threats. The prevailing perspective of ASIO's Director General underpins the view that he finds terrorism a real and actual threat. It's not a big leap to conclude a threat assessment written by an ASIO officer will harbour elements of their chief's overriding attitude. Its fair to conclude rank and file job security will mirror the culture inside senior ranks of ASIO. The conclusion that a terrorism threat exists along Victoria's coast, ports and harbours is likely formulated with the organisation's cultural perspective integral in their assessment.
The Director-General of ASIO Dennis Richardson was recently named Australia's new ambassador to Washington. For Richardson to be offered the plum of ambassador infers a healthy dose of falling in step with the crazies in the White House - its critical towards acceptance. Richardson could not demonstrate opposition to Washington's preemptive warfare policy or intelligence collection methods - at any costs including torture as expediency - and expect his Washington appointment. The job of ambassador entails serious vetting behind the scenes. The post will be offered only with Davidson on board with the USA/Australian pre-emptive attack doctrine against all nations, he has to agree with the US strategic advantage policy and Anglo/American hegemony over global oil resources. To say nothing of an expectation of Davidson to progess the policy of the incumbent Howard government.
The Howard government has infamously distinguished itself by its subservient posture to insane White House demands. The occupants of the White House that Canberra supports act under a dangerous policy of foreign militarism and adventurism. A policy that has murdered tens of thousands of innocent victims in Afghanistan, Iraq and its own troops. This puppet like behaviour of Canberra drives this country's [mis]alignment with pre-emptive warfare. Australia has signed on to a ficticious war on terrorism, passed draconian anti-terrorism legislation that tramples civil rights, and abuses the Australian military as corporate mercenaries. The record of deceit to justify the Iraq invasion, the preselection of intelligence to encourage illegal participation with the Anglo American instigated warfare, that now threatens to grow other other hemispheres.
The insanity of the war on terrorism ruse at work is seen undercutting the psychology pushing militarism, this driver pushes justification for the counter-terrorism package for Western Port. Spin doctoring by the Howard government, a complicit Opposition and a compromised intelligence community steered in alignment with the warfare agenda. Propaganda misleads the electorate to fear the possibility of terrorism at home. How much of this deceit furthers political careers, how much is creeping fascism or misplaced lust for power over others - I don't know?
What is real is the classic use of problem-reaction-solution psychology of government-sponsored terrorism. Create a crisis, get the reaction of fear from the population and offer the solution. Behind the threat of terrorism government declares power unto itself. Beefing up of security at Hastings to fight terrorism is blinded by irrational craze.
Pushed by the perfect economic storm on the horizon, the booga! booga! of spin doctors is not appreciated by most of what is happening. The time to fight the official version by the psychopaths driving the train is at Code Red!
The evidence of failing corporations, bankrupt treasuries, asset bubbles about to pop - statistics point to a global economic depression soon to strike. Its under way - a depression has started potentially more harmful than the Great Depression of 1929. This brewing perfect economic storm is receiving a under the radar profile by officials and bankers from mainstream news cover.
Beefed up security at Hastings against terrorism threats is government-sponsored booga! booga!
That is how I see it!

Better 500 troops to Iraq stay in Australia!
A deployment of 500 Australian troops to protect the backsides of Land of the Rising Sun engineers in their imperial oil stakeout in Iraq. Darn shame our military corporate protectors don't see the economic and geopolitical storm stewing at home. If our troops did their job to protect against this nation enemies, deployment at home in a rescue operation from the political prostitutes that have sold the people short would be their finest moment.
Regrettably military grunts aren't trained to silence political hubris from Canberra's cuckoo land and pals in cahoots in some impressive boardrooms. The internationalism vogue of Howard's globalisation should be shot to pieces. Our mercenary military would be highly admired in a redeployment to save the asses of Australians. Ignore the Iraqi deployment we don't need to be part of the illegal triage occupying Iraq as the Imperial collective Axis with the USA and UK.
Spare this nation's from the worst of the emergency about to spin out of control. Releasing the safety catch's to play colonial resource thief in Iraq is absurd. Skip our military as sacrificial lambs. No need for a bloody stimulant to stoke revenge from a disinterested electorate. Its propaganda propeling Australia' climbing on aboard the intelligence and special ops war on terrorism.
A clear thinking individual cannot back the cancer mutating Down Under. Consider the manipulation of John Howard's cabal, the so called Opposition Leader Beazley, and big money power of international banking. You find engineered cancer by State control pushing us into financial no mans land and social monitoring and over regulation. This nation is a seeding ground of New World Order crazies working to dump the treasured freedoms we grew up with. A joint mega corporate governance kills nation building and eats at independance of thinking. Instead we are indoctrinated to wave the good fight. A sort of sick patriotism western jihad. Our civilised struggle for freedom from terrorism, a terrible joke being played on us! Once more Australia is a pathetic colonial dog, a repeat of the Vietnam War of wasted lives as mute testimony to mirror con jobs 30 years back.
The Useless Eaters are in Canberra, then there are brain-washed despots in State government, these cheats should brace themselves, as their shame will not be enough to save them from a push from their ivory towers. Australia is on a soul destroying path of an Orwellian nightmare of fascism.
Petty laws regulate segments of our past freedom loving living. Clever Dick Free Trade agreements undermine industrial strength for criminal third world idiocy of perpetual debt and clouded future, unless you rub shoulders with the ruling elite. With little more than phantom job choices, serve hamburgers, retail Chinese made goods to the indebted middle class. Signing on for military adventure of preemptive war alongside US hegemony! Membership in the Imperial Axis of evil - USA, UK & Australia - in a theft of resources. We are part of the New World Order policeman. thats no choice for decent Australians!
Federal government, State and local offialdom burns and slashes individual rights, dismantles property rights and trunkates personal liberty for the rubbish heap. All supposedly justified by security and social adhesion by a government arrogance of self importance. Economic strength is a joke for the masses under a monetary system designed to strangle possibility. Corporate chiefs in banking, energy, pharmaceuticals and health, and armaments in the cartel hydrocarbon based economy enrich themselves poaching deeper into your pocket as we pay more for all through a debased currency.
A mountain of politically correct idiocy regulates diminishing choice, a social wave we ride but most can't spot it as contemporary slavery. Unless you think what DVD or rented movie to view this week, or which over publicized sports team to be distracted by, this is not living it up, its isolation of your mind. Forget the sold out shadow called the Opposition as it goose steps behind Beazley in his alternate Liberal Party. The reach and wasteful costs of government is horrendous, its encroachment suffocating this nation with bypassed potential under a mass of .
At a municipal level over regulation, such as trivial laws of restricting pet cats from roaming, or State governments turning roads into a frustrating task with faceless justice. Speed camera's, insane low speed limits, and a police force at odds with mainstream society dish out intolerable penalties for minor infractions. Penalties and demerit points unfairly target over 50% of law abiding motorists in a great social engineering project of citizen obedience. All camouflaged with dubious road safety programs turning deceit of officials into nothing less than a sell out of the people. Elected representatives mostly are unworthy to stand in public office, weak minded duplicity fails the citizen they swore to represent. Big money backed committees, flawed studies and fraudulent think tanks rachet up the intolerable shift of burden on the elector's back as the globalisation one world noose is tightened.
The new penal colony is rebuilding Down Under.

Chipped Citizen With That?
Good sense should alert caution of the media assailment aimed at the public of child abuse and identity fraud crime. So many stories of real and imagined physical threat to children, sexual abuse, and loss of children. The social disruption and economic costs of identity theft, identity fraud issues and for good measure the bogey man of "You just don't know who's a terrorist suspect nowadays?" These stories get a ton of exposure across major media. To a level where psychological abuse of a weary public from relentless bombardment of these issues is probably the real abuse issue? All are subjugated to a flood of stories on these issues and associated threats, so much that many tune out.
Considering these issues no one argues there exists abuse, monsters who commit heinous crimes against youngsters. But a thread links these issues is a theme of manipulation of public opinion. Canberra is Big Brother - it builds groundwork of a perception to justify raising security to track everyone for a safer society. Necessary and justified for our own security, the security of our vulnerable, our children portrayed "at risk". Its a suspicious agenda by Canberra to implement massive enforced micro-chipping of Australians.
The media cover is overwhelming to the point it can be perceived that threat levels are excess to the actual threat. Media reporting and the political debate of an imperative to protect our children, potential killer viruses could wipe us out, and identity fraud issues all point to the direction measures are heading to supposedly mitigate the threats. These threats induce communities to think safety. Lets harness identity recognition measures and accept social controls if that is what government says is the solution. The propaganda leads to control by authority and loss of freedom - a solution behind the security and control issue is recognition of anyone, anywhere at anytime.
Canberra will present a security solution to warm up the public by suggestions from a policy think tank. Thus more easily justifying implementing recommendations. A need to implement security and tracking measures of the populace is manufactured, its a hoax. We hear how bad, how costly, how traumatic, whatever crushing malady for the month, make your pick to paint the seriousness and social burden - the threat is rising. Intolerable financial costs on society are a winner, likewise the threat of pedophiles, circulated like so much free beer at a ripper barbecue to substantiate the solution to micro-chip the populace.
You will be perceived a blight on society if you object to micro-chipping. There will be assurances of, "Nothing to fear if you've nothing to hide." Great line! Sacrifice liberty, your privacy and right of freedom of movement in exhange for total government intrusion and control - Are you crazy?
Micro-chipping technology to track and identify, give your history, legal run-ins and probably overdue credit card balances will be visible on a mobile reader or satellite when your chip is scanned. This will be sold as the solution to protect children, thawt sexual abuse of children, to control sex slavery, regulate identity issues and stop terrorism threats. All managed by Big Brother monitoring your embedded chip. So simple!
A classic trap by a bunch of political crazies with alternate harmful agendas. A bunch of New World Order politicos has fortress Canberra in their dirty hands, created a security threat and over blown the consequence. They will present their conjured a solution for all to be grateful? Tossing us the solution as electronic numbered citizens is on its way.
Reject George Orwell's Canberra of a fully regulated society. Your whereabouts is nobodys business than your own. The walking threats that should be micro-chipped are mostly major party politicians. Track the two faced monkeys to identify them when we beat the crap out them, eventually the populace will awaken to deception by elected representatives.

Canberra - Bunch of Bastards are War Criminals.
The Australian Government is a bunch of traitorous and murderous bastards. Why? The war mongering fools in Canberra have supported the leading war crazies in Washington in an invasion of two Middle Eastern Nations, Afghanistan and Iraq. The Howard cabal has given military support directly to aid these illegal invasions and occupation of two sovereign states. Neither of these nations had any linkage to the 9/11 World Trade Centre attacks. Today Canberra's war mongering fools are traitors against the people of Australia as John Howard's cabal, clearly identifying themeselves as war crimininals dispatch additional troops to Iraq.
The people of Australia visibly and loudly demonstrated against Howard's cabal in public protests and marches. All segments of society numbering in the thousands of protestors, the largest public protests ever seen in this country. Clearly the Australian government does NOT have the support of the electors to involve us in the killing deserts of innocent civilians in Iraq. By being a puppet supporter of Washington's crazies in its illegal military conquest. Canberra eagerly signed on to the war crazies deceit, and manipulation behind President George Bush and the United kingdom's Tony Blair going it with Washington. None of which means Australia is compelled to join the barbarous illegal acts of murder in illegal preemptive attacks and invasion.
Every individual in this country needs to be reminded of the Geneva Protocols. The International Law that relates to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts.
1. The civilian population and individual civilians shall enjoy general protection against dangers arising from military operations. To give effect to this protection, the following rules, which are additional to other applicable rules of international law, shall be observed in all circumstances.
2. The civilian population as such, as well as individual civilians, shall not be the object of attack. Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.
3. Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this Section, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.
4. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited. Indiscriminate attacks are:
a) Those which are not directed at a specific military objective;
b) Those which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective;
c) Those which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by this Protocol; and consequently, in each case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.
5. Among others, the following types of attack are to be considered as indiscriminate:
d) An attack by bombardment by any methods or means which treats as a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives located in a city, town, village or other area containing a similar concentration of civilians or civilian objects; and
e) An attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.
Substantial evidence exist that the invasion of Iraq and military action in Afghanistan by the United States with Australia's military participation, intelligence community involvement and government support contravened the Geneva Protocols. No reservation exist to state that responsible members of the cabinet of the Australian government, and senior officers of Australia's military establishment are complicit and knowing accomplices to violation of every single one of these protocols.
As a member and accomplice in the "coalition of the willing" the Australian Government has responsibility for torture, executions, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and crimes committed in Iraq, Afghanistan and the prison of Guantanamo. The Australian government is complicit in the deaths of thousands of civilians.

Behind plan to import skills.
Why does Canberra want an additional 20,000 skilled workers to Australia next year? Are they needed? Why can't we train our local workforce to higher skills? Is a forecast fall in real estate values resusitated in part with importing skilled workers dollars in the home market?
Australia would benefit from more skilled workers - if our economy was likely to continue growing. We have the option to consider training local workers or import lock stock and barrel? An ACTU Background Paper in July 04 predicted a skilled workers shortage of 130,000 in the next five years. The number of skilled worker shortage was predicated on an expanding economic model. Today the economy reveals itself under stress, a faltering global economic landscape has been kept under wraps by Canberra, a complicit ALP and major media so the election could be gotten out of the way.
China currently invigorates demand for Australian raw resources. China's demand will not sustain as its growth is reliant on exporting container after container of goods to USA. China is experiencing domestic problems of insufficient energy to drive their development, growing environmental pollution and emerging currency inflation will hamper growth.
The American economy is in decline, although most are hazy over this unfolding time bomb. A weakening US dollar and resultant loss in purchasing power for US consumers, a falling residential property market looms at the corner. The USA has been devastated in shedding decent manufacturing jobs, replaced with minimum wage jobs without health insurance benefits. Economic stalling numbers, horrendous current account and trade debt has eroded the standard of living for Americans, with the worst yet to hit. The consequences will be negative for Australia's economy. Our standard of living will be reduced as the world's number one consumer market, USA turns fallow.
Unprecedented unpayable national debt in USA & Australia, unpayable global debt levels now relegate the greenback and eventually the Aussie dollar as basket cases. Couple these global stressors to the predicted shortfall of Australia's sufficiency in oil reserves, merging with high costs of importing oil. The factors as drivers behind increasing skilled worker immigrant numbers into Australia is the strategic shift to hold real estate values intact a while longer as the bubble leaks.
As interest rates climb mortgage payments will be under pressure. Additional skilled workers trained from within Australia will not save the real estate market. Canberra sees it will get a reprieve importing skilled workers. Resumption of immigration is 20,000 home buyers and their need to equip the home wouldn't go astray? Personal assets moved to Australia by a skilled worker increase and invested into homes will defer the sound of air hissing from the real estate market?
