EAST TIMOR BETRAYED BY AUSTRALIA

November 4th 2010 02:18
"AUSTRALIAN troops will withdraw from East Timor in 2012 - six years after hundreds of them arrived in the nation to quell upheaval."

Very kindly, The Age gives no hint of our collusion with the Indonesian military up until six years ago minus a day.

The delay of 24 hours before landings, for no reason, by the Australian government allowed the Indonesian military to murder hundreds of East Timor dissenters.

Our then Foreign Minister was never asked why he delayed a day. The UN had given an earlier date for troop arrivals.

Prior to that we colluded with Indonesia in allowing them carte blanche in East Timor for 25 years. The result was 250,000 murdered in that time. It was the only country in the world with a falling population rate. The UN, and even the US later, were against the occupation by Indonesia. So basically Australia was an accessory (after the fact) to murder 250,000. Still we had a greedy need for their oil that was pushed for by minister Gareth Evans.

The immorality of the Afghan War and our collusion in it indicates an approaching failure.

The essence of the corruption and criminal conduct behind our aggression is revealed in our training of a warlords' militia members here, in Australia, by our Defence Forces. It is an example of the fine lines of corruption that exist in every level in Afghanistan, the US and Australia.

The warlord, Matiullah Khan, was bribed millions of dollars by the Americans to aid fuel convoys negotiate his territory. He took the money and then held up a very large convoy with a hundred of his men and demanded $2,000 to $3,000 a truck to allow it to continue. The convoy was delayed a day while he was slowly convinced he had already taken money to protect the progress of the trucks.

The Dutch militia refused to have any dealings with Khan because of his tendency to murder to have his way. Why is Australia so slow?

A natural question is how do we expect to win a war if we don't know the traditions, the corruptions, and the way these things are carried out?

So far the war has been meandering along for twice the time of World War 2, without any real agenda, planning, or success, except for a vague prediction that it will continue for another decade - some strategy.

Labor's strategists are brilliant at petty politics and the machinations required to manipulate unionists. Unsullied voters are another game. Those who are not to be intimidated by union bosses who have never down a day's labour in their lives can think clearly.

The first indication that Gillard, Shorten and House had never cogitated over the state of East Timor was the abominable assumption that Gillard could declare they could set up detention camps on the island without asking. Had none of the petty strategists realise that Australia had allowed the slaughter of 250,000 by the Indonesian military over 25 years, and when the UN had commanded them to occupy the country they delayed their invasion by 48 hours, which gave the Indonesian military time to slaughter the known East Timorese dissidents before departing?

In the wake of that horror Australia attempted to steal the oil in the East Timor Sea. They had tried before when Gareth Evans signed an oil agreement with the Indonesian minister for trade. The petty politicians don't think history can teach them anything. That's why they fuck up so often.

The new petty politicians are ignorant of foreign affairs and, under them and/or the Coalition, Australia will languish.

America's greed, that is now reflected in all countries, is responsible for the oil explosion in the Gulf.

BP executives felt the well could give more oil, and therefore, without any thought of safety, or the intricate problems of taking oil from such deep water, demanded more production. The crew on the oil rig strove to produce more

Australia's nuclear waste dump on Muckaty station in the Northern Territory will be totally safe given it will be stored in drums similar to forty four gallon fuel drums and raised off the dirt floor in a brand new corrugated iron shed.

That's how we do things in Australia. We saw how the Americans did it on the Columbia River with double-skinned steel containers, ceramic containers, and then taking the water from the soil, removing the radioactivity, and putting it back. Nothing stopped the leaks into the river. Australia's logic is why go to the expense when nothing works

SUBHUMANS BAN REFUGEES IN IGNORANCE

April 13th 2010 03:28
Our subhuman politicians have reacted again without any real knowledge of Afghanistan or Sri Lanka.

Refugees from those countries have been banned: they will not be processed

Now Rio Tinto has decided to run their fawning line in China we should all be awake to China's continuing bullying in negotiations.

Rio has declared their employee, Stern Hu, guilty of ill-prepared charges ( no witnesses for the complainant, China), heard in an illegal court. There was no media or public allowed into the court to hear the corruption charges. That makes it a closed illegal court. It's also a riff on the Russian Show Trials. We are showing you that we can conduct our justice without transparency

Yes, fog we are a frightened country, and neither major party has the substance or perception to overcome how we are regarded by Indonesia.

East Timor and Papua mean we can never boast again of our independence and compassion.

Cheers, Bill.

As an old man that played hard but was finally floored by a woman - and then there was no let up I can only give a name to the element that has kept us honed: psychological eroticism. Of course the result is totally physical,

If you survive the instinct to suicide you know more. I'm a survivor from fifty years ago and my life only got better.

They're not answers, just positions. People need to be told why they're clueless and why their insights are clueless.

It's not nuclear power that's the problem, it's nuclear waste. It has to be cared for for 350,000 years and, given that the oldest man made buildings on the planet are around 10,000 years old (the pyramids), and no one knew what they housed until 200 years ago, you have to get the idea.

The Washington State nuclear waste dumps are all leaking into the Columbia River (check WS website) and they've tried all the present technology to contain it. Government is in a panic and is in talks with Australia to take the waste. They've discovered a granite in Lake Boga, Australia that can contain nuclear waste but it can't be broken up.

Will you guys take it over your back fence?

Not only Australians - also Americans and Canadians. Sea Shepherd org was created by a former head of Greenpeace. Those guys use their own money.Guess you're ashamed of the international community.

Fog, I think you have to run with all of Orble's figures being inaccurate. Those two that registered zeros were wrong. I visited them. Recently though I attempted to leave a comment and was told I needed more confirmations.

Sometime ago I visited several sites that looked good but found nothing had been posted for months.
