Australia! Wonderful beaches, sunny days and home to an asshole regime that any voter with half a brain wants evicted from office. Clap Trap Jaw PM John Howard with his asshole cabinet manipulates the electorate as second nature, done with the flakiest opposition on the planet - the Australian Labour Party. The jig is a self congratulatory, taxpayer abuse institution under the pretence of democracy, supposed to be representative government. I guess the Westminster parliament system still has a few hang ups in the system.
This is a cool disguise to trick the public. Comically called political choice but there isn't any choice. The Opposition Leader is a real bright spark, closest thing to an academy award winner you could ask to see. Chops Beazely is a charicature of virtual total complicity, an original Mr. Oportunism he can easily do the Prime Minister's job and his own, you wouldn't see ANY DIFFERENCE between the two - both assholes are FASCIST!
With the Howard regime and Alternate Liberal Party Aussie battlers are stuck between a rock and a hard place, what an accident? No political party seems to represent Mr & Mrs Mainstreet in parliament. Democracy in Oz is rotten, smelly joke. The big political parties have turned on mainstream Australians. We've got sneaking snakey fascism!
The Howard regime destroys Australia piecemeal. A regime of assholes is what we have, it rides an internationalist corporate war mongeroing high. The clandestine goal is integration of Australia under a supra-national world government body. These traitors are assholes that DO NOT represent the electorate.
They are guilty of crimes against Australians as well as war crimes against Afghanistan and Iraqi people. Just taking preemptive warfare and dismantling the structure and fabric of our nation - the assholes do not deserve public office ass they rape and victimise Australians every day. Howard’s cabinet is guilty of spewing anti-freedom venom, cloaked inside claimed anti-terrorism legislation. Crimes sponsored by these assholes supposedly to save our backsides is from their own dirty coniving. Paid hands might implement the mechanics but the assholes watch complicit in their traitorous agenda to conquer our economic and civil lives.
With Special Ops and a yielding compromised intelligence community, operatives hold secrets of murder and injury at the reach of Zionist tentacles and the Fourth Reich Bush Administration directly initiating global instability. Canberra's assholes have no allegiance to little of moral merit. Mercenary elements implement terrorism acts under contract to the Anglo/American and puppet Australian regime across the globe.
The manufactured security threat against the public justifies propaganda of more anti-terrorism legislation, "For our own good." Like hell it is! Deceit strangles Australia’s freedom from Howards assholes than ever witnessed in Australia creating treachery of the lowest canon.
Decent societal common values and shared purpose of nationhood are excavated and undermined. The assholes make cut backs in social services, privatise most that is measurable from utilities, electricity, gas and water to toll roads and traffic infringements to profit big corporations balances. It’s all an income stream to bolster corporate hegemony at immense cost to middle class and blue-collar society. Your labour and life is nothing less than a mercantile data entry.
The social lubricant of responsible fair society is displaced by assholes wearing horse blinkers, driven by economic shareholder, let’s measure our profits solely, nothing else counts? Each and every quality human attainment that has been striven for is dismantled; fairness is dumped for swelling fascism. Evidence of the Howard regime asshole non-thinking is verified by idiocy in remodelled industrial relation’s legislation that elevates corporate rights superior to individual rights.
Decent standards of Australian society are sabotaged, we hurt at the greedy manipulative hands of economic globalisation, an injustice against this nation's workers and small business owners. Indecent legislation twists valid political protest into dissidence, a target for potential silencing at the reach of para military policing. This soon to be supplemented by another crime, legislation to sport the military bludgeon. The streets, the domestic battleground it will truly turn into as head butting against ordinary citizens by soldiers is planned. This inflamed fascist leap deliberately written as grit, as friction to retard society from seasoning into anything worthwhile. Unless you are on the very top of the heap.
The policies of the Howard regime drive basic survival ahead of values. Their dog eats dog of Wild West globalisation stupidly dismantles our manufacturing. Our nation is in debt to international banks. Howard’s fascistregime cuts a brutal path retarding society; Australia is a step nearer to feudalism as a hired mercenary to spot warfare, aiding the USA killing machine. Meanwhile the nation's resources, mining profits and foreign ownership of everything sucks our wealth to offshore owners.
Equal voter representation gets displaced from indifferent corporate power over the earth’s resources. Strategic military choke points include Australia in the USA military threat against our neighbours. Individual liberty and life choices are restricted further and further at each sitting of parliament.
The grab of wealth transfer from the ordinary citizen to the hands of the wealthiest family names and global corporate boardrooms is relentless. The explosive costs of war machinery, security at all cost propaganda - in a fake war on terrorism tax bite, misapropriated into non-productive croneism. We will suffer under heavy-handed state security and intelligence services linking intelligence gathering and spying on citizens under a global presence.
The assholes say it is all to protect us - what a horrendous scam. Ultimately it will be exposed to public scrutiny for lies Howard’s regime promulgates with a straight face as the knife of world government is shoved deep.
This is a theft of rights as draconiam changes that possess the character of dictators Mussolini and Hitler emerge into daylight. The difference is Howard and his regime does not wear the military uniform of the ADF in parliament.
The move by Howard’s regime has and continues to draw military units into domestic policing actions, a senseless power free to terminate citizens - behind a weak excuse to protect property. Such crap stink as the lowest of the lowest as soldiers gain immunity from state criminal law in “following orders” to blow your brains out, no liability. No soldier will show or wear name identification and can operate anonymously. Does not sound like the decent Australia I knew. The assholes need to be flushed down the toilet.
The Anglo/American ass lickers of Howard’s regime are following the steps of the mentally short changed Bush Administration. It destroys civil rights at home, murders, maim and impoverish foreign nationales offshore. All carried out by distortion of facts, the intelligence inserts fake evidence to provoke Muslim blowback to justify more premptive warfare to gain startegic and resource control. A perilous road to manipulate society of all demographics, watch this inevitably blow up in the authority’s parliamentary face with civil unrest. The communitiy resentment against government, federal and including local petty rules is building as awareness in society grows of the distortion. From seeing dismantling of fair justice replaced by imposing legislation that is aimed to create conditions for the use of “domestic violence” our government adopts to restructure society.

Australian Government couldn't possibly save Nguyen Van
Howard government had no intention to save the life of hapless Australian held in Singapore Nguyen Van for stupidly acting as drug mule. It appears the situation caused a public relations problem for Howard and his cabinet and behind the scene string pullers, it shifted out of control with increasing public interest in commendable moral basis to save this man. It is very clear the Australian government does not value life. Anyone that was taken in by public relations attempts by Howard and Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer was duped.
The legislation past few years of Howard and so called main opposition party both push anti liberty pathway - shows their real character is abuse of Australians, evidence the in your face detention camps, ignoring voice of protests for military in Iraq, affairs of refugee vessels the Tampa affair show us the value for life is minimal. The present course is to remove your rights with Hitler like power of anti-terrorism laws that trample civil rights should be sufficient to show you Howard’s and complicit Beazley’s hand in the dangerous direction Australia is going. The Howard government attacks ordinary Australian in the workplace with IR laws aimed to destroy your wages and conditions.
The disclosure of Singapore lawyer M. Ravi, a brave lawyer leads a campaign in ordered Singapore against the death penalty. A country that it seems almost leads the world in the per capita executions - heard on ABC radio Late Night Live. Ravi voiced amazement at the Australian government seeking legal opinion of Cambridge lawyer that any appeal by Australia with the International Criminal Court of Justice is pointless to attempt to help to save the life of Nguyen Van. Ravi’s disclosure confirms Australian government deliberately had worked with the Singapore government to frame a lost position so interpretion such path would be fruitless effort to save Nguyen Van’s life.
The sorry evidence is Howard government and the similar Labor party shares an agenda of wrongdoing. If death sentence seen weakened by public opinion to overturn or prevent the death mandated by government would set back the radical plan of both compromised political parties to change this country. Howard wants to be seen as caring leader whilst compromising life of his own people. Make no mistake the Australian government seeks to ignore the voice of the electorate whilst appearing to do its best for you.
This action equates to the worst of crime where representative government misleads what harm it actually lies about to wound and risk the life of its own citizens. David Hicks languishing under US control for unproven crimes is another fearful example of the real offensive face of Australian politics. The deliberate compromise to reveal the Bali drug nine to the brunt of unjust Indonesian justice system shows you malice and contempt the Australian government has toward the population. Being aware of campaign and insanity in Canberra allows you to interpret assertions by Howard et al for what lies and danger they are to this nation.

Canberra Fuck Wits & Workplace Legislation.
Canberra fuck wits ram through workplace legislation in a humiliating sell-out of ordinary working people by WorkChoices legislation… This nasty bitch of sleight of hand confirms parliamentary government in Australia is a illusion and a bigger prank than it is already seen to be nowadays. To say nothing of the flawed science of Canberra’s numbskulls politicians who have authored a sick child. To satisfy a diseased globalisation agenda that is a cancer wasting our nation by outsourcing, outplacing, outlieing and out transferring manufacturing to China or India. Shoving Australian business ownership to offshore control and stripping decent jobs from the hands of this generation and the next generation. Don't be fooled by the massive rise in casual, casual permanent, and casual almost permanent employment that passes for a job nowadays - that is not full employment.
What we have here is more like a crooked pack of fascist stinking pigs running a corporate buddy boy coterie. The Liberal-National & tricky dicky Labor reasoning Coalition presents an industrial nirvana to the public, when all that is in store are crappier working conditions just in time for the downturn in the economy.
Get sacked for virtually any reason under the sun and a blueprint to bring to heel minimum pay that “competes” with virtual zero pay China. What kind of fuck wit thinks worse working conditions for the employees will lead to a better economy in Australia?
The Howard Government defies rationale explanation why it should wish to commute active industrial relations legislation for a raft of reforms that attack employee rights, put at risk from unfair dismissal ordinary people, and subject to penny pinching earnings of those at the bottom rungs. Australia is doing ok on the employer / employee scene, we don’t have much trouble of a magnitude to need to remedy in the IR system. The fact is workplace security in the current system contributes to employees working in harmony with employers, and that is good for Australia.
Some interesting results of a USA study by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst titled “Decent Work in America” which compares the treatment of workers with the business climate in each state. Revealing data shows states in the South where workers are divided and have little history of workers organising behind unions for better pay and working conditions are the States with the worst economic climate for business. Conversely State’s that have good work environments, higher wages; more job equality and more rights for workers have better than average job growth, higher business start-up rates and better economic growth. The correlation is plain for anyone with a brain in their head that good working conditions make for a better business climate.
Given the obvious correlation of good worker conditions improved business operating conditions and good economic growth being hand in hand. Do the Howard fuck wits believe they have a monopoly on this issue, that they can rough up the lot of the employee, but the Howard government will be able to magically whip up a better outcome for employees and employer? Who does Howard think he is trying to fool?
The reality is today in Australia, the VERY leaders we elected into office at the highest levels our undermining our way of life. There are horrifying signs around our fiat cash, punch-drunk global economy as plain as the nose on your face signalling the global economy is headed for a severe depression.
Howard’s fuck wit government is sticking it to the 90% of the electorate just in time for Joe six pack to loose the lot. Forget safety nets, its every man for themselves under the new industrial relations floor plan. To be doubly sure you will not cost Howard's globalised corporate mates a cent, to raise your chance to hit the wall hard in the next economic depression, Canberra is dismantling as much of the social security backbone as it can get away with - you will be on your own this time around! Absolute pinning your sorry ass to the floor will be achieved by the so-called anti-terrorism legislation, cleverly designed as anti-electorate legislation to silence dissent when you go looking to settle the score with the fuck wits and their globalisation chums.
Although nobody can claim when the depression will strike fully - it is probable from rising financial imbalances that mid 06 through to early late 2007 is a window you could estimate. Judging by the urgency of Howard's fuck wits to pass IR legislation the earlier timetable of a downturn is a good estimate.

Australia can redeem itself help Venezuela repel Rogue State
A fantastic opportunity for Australia to redeem itself and help defend Venezuela from “attack” by Rogue State - USA private military contractors active in Columbia. Intelligence report reveals US military contractors already in country to “deal with” Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez Frias.
http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=46388
Forget remaining an accomplice to adopted killers of Rogue State USA. Instead of deploying Australia’s military alongside the world’s only abusive superpower military machine to commit more atrocities in two of the most defencless nations, Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe Syria and Iran next on the Rogue State's Hit List.
Australia can now leap and take advantage of its remarkable luck to dump the ANZUS Treaty for the ball and chain it really is to this nation, evidenced Australia's military dead and wounded for USA’s worldwide brutality. Instead Australia can despatch SAS troops, a couple warships and fighter aircraft to assist and back Venezuela for its possible defence, whilst it gears up to repel invading US military mercenery killers. As the USA builds towards yet another attempted coup d’etat against Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez.
What a global admiration sweep for Australia! The huge human rights stand and moral ground Canberra will regain as we defend Venezuela from pre-emptive attack from the Rogue State USA. Australia will recover its forfeited respect from all sane nations, except from the Rogue State and maybe puppet Tony Blair.
Consider the vast oil supplies President Hugo Chavez could reward Australian with for helping his country in its moment of need? Maybe we could slice 50 cents off each litre of speculated petrol if we play our cards right. Just send a few more Aussie troops in exchange for a few barrels of oil – it is what we are doing in Iraq? Venezuela has a budget surplus, cash in the bank, the USA is dead broke, huge deficits, its currency heads towards the bottom of the heap. Canberra could make a smart investment decision for our trade balance assisting Venezuela. Heck maybe we can do some international arms trade? Sell President Hugo Chavez a couple of Australian made warships, some high-speed well-armed catamarans we’ve been developing will be useful to Chavez to keep his coast free of invaders.
In fact we can fly our military directly into their new theatre of operations in Venezuela tomorrow. Pull them out of the imperial devastation we perpetrate under the bullshit of the USA manufactured war on terrorism, or is it the war on extremism now? Our boys and gals in the armed services would like Venezuela’s climate, less sand and dust than the Middle East. Considerably much less depleted uranium to screw up their lungs and avoid cancers would be cheery.
Australia can help President Chavez hold his defences in his democratically elected office against the terrorists sent by the Bush & Cheney White House. Whereas the USA has a shady dictator in President Bush, he did steal office by a little help from his Diebold pals and previously the US Supreme Court rather than inconvenience American voters. So the USA isn’t a real democracy like Venezuela is anyway... Why would Canberra choose to back a democracy that isn’t one as it plans military incursions on a democracy that is legitimate?

Melbourne's air; its weather & sickness
There is something crucial and potentially dangerous going on with Melbourne’s air; its weather and concurring widely reported sickness.
I’ll start with a puzzling observation that a number of individuals I've talked with about this have corroborated. That there is a somewhat bitter, salty type of taste noticed during moderate to heavy rainfall conditions around Melbourne - it is also noticed less often under certain non-rainfall conditions - a topic for a separate check-out? The strange substance with its unusual taste is experienced from many locations, its across the board, not a single part of Melbourne, nor do I think it restricted to a specific demographic such as age or gender. It is equally experienced in the open and inside buildings.
Whatever the substance causing this unusual taste sensation it is existent and a reality to Melbourne's air. It cannot be recalled as having existed in past years by anyone I’ve talked of this experience. The peculiar taste of this salty substance is a recent state of affairs, certainly present the past year I've been watching for certain and has become noticable to more people. The taste is not the kind of salty taste experienced near the ocean when large waves disperse spray into the local air.
Monitoring of rainfall periods when the substance can be tasted shows it coincidentally appears related to curious medical symptoms - that have their onset each time rain and taste substance come together. These symptoms occur in some who just brushed it off as something strange, without thinking what it could be? It exists with easy detection by anyone who's noticed the stuff; it is tasted on the lips and inside the mouth for about 12 hours. It produces an uncomfortable bitter taste that makes you want to wash the odd taste from their mouth, or at least run the tongue over the lips to reduce its discomfort. It also has a “stinging” sensation on sore lips or a cut inside the mouth. I'm guessing this substance making the taste is airborne during the entire window it is noticed, that the substance is not enduring by physical settlement and contact with the mouth and lips alone.
What is apparent from monitoring these goings on for almost a year is symptoms do happen when it rains and immediately after rainfall - especially heavy downpours. Whatever the stuff causing this problem, the material or chemical is likely subsequently breathed into the lungs, and we lack information of its potential harm to our respiratory system. I wonder if the feeling of “thin air” also felt in breathing means a restriction that is cumulative is taking place from this stuff?.
The physical reactions I sincerely hope are a temporary strike - it seems to effect the nervous system, would hate to think there's any permanent acruing impairment. Some say what I've found that it seems toeffect mental alertness. Producing feelings from a "woody" head to solid headaches, even mental incapacitation in few instances. By its ferocity able to lay you out for a while so you cannot function and must lay down. I've noticed in myself and watching others that short-term memory deficiency and minor disorientation is more than anecdotal - I can connect these periods with the taste of the bitter substance and an effect on recall, mental acuity and spatial capacity impairment during the rainstorms. It makes sense that physiological manifestations of compromised memory will be more intense if exposure to this strange substance is behind the problems.
An additional complaint is body aches and pains, general fatigue and muscle tiredness – a run down effect that has kept a few at home sick for several days. These are individuals, usually healthy - I cannot claim these people suspect any association to the stuff tasted in the air, as I haven't asked them to comment. But there seems to be a hell of a coincidence of corroboration with what I've been talking about with Melbourne's weather, the air and increased sickness?
