A new clock is ticking in Australia

By Damian Lataan

Despite its prosperity, Australians on Saturday finally woke up to the fact that there are many things that are more important for the future of the world and Australia than merely filling up ones wallet with as many credit cards as possible. Australians clearly seem comfortable with the fact that wealth creation and the maintenance of wealth is something that can be achieved without the likes of Howard and his cronies who seemed to think that wealth creation was the be all to end all for those that have the wherewithal to actually achieve success. Little consideration was given to the myriad of Australians that weren’t, many of whom were left behind unable to keep pace with rising interest rates, rising prices and diminishing incomes as their protections were eroded from beneath them.

Prosperity, like familiarity, can often breed contempt; contempt of those others unable to become or have failed to become prosperous. Those that succeed then become totally focussed on maintaining their wealth often to the exclusion of all other considerations. This led to the several successive re-elections of Howard to government. It was based solely on the false fears of loss of wealth. People were prepared to overlook Howard’s lies and arrogance provided he could continue to look after their wealth.

Finally, however, the people of Australia have woken up. They have realised that it was not Howard that created our prosperity, it was the people themselves. Australians were able to create wealth before Howard’s workplace laws came into effect. The workplace laws were seen to be a hindrance to wealth creation for most working people and were seen to only benefit businesses. The drought brought home the importance of considering climate change, water conservation and the urgent need to find new ways of creating energy resources, all of which had been all but ignored by Howard and his fixated corporatist, wealth creating government.

Howard has ignored the indigenous people of Australia, he has ignored those who don’t have the skills and ability to create their own wealth, he has ignored the calls of great swathes of Australian people who do not want to be involved in wars for America and Israel against peoples that are not a threat to us, he has ignored the plight of those that seek refuge in Australia from the wars that Howard has involved Australia in and he has ignored the future of a world that will have to cope with the environmental consequences of the processes that were involved in creating our prosperity.

Now he has paid the ultimate price. The policies of arrogance, greed and short-sightedness in the pursuit of wealth has been rejected by Australians who can at last see that creating vast wealth today does not in any way guarantee the world a prosperous future for the long term. Howard’s attempt to build a self perpetuating pseudo-democratic corporatist fascist state based on financial elitism and regional hegemony has been has also been rejected. Australia can now become a member of the regional community based on sharing and understanding and not threats of military intervention or being cut off from aid.

Howard’s time is up. The clock is now running in a race against time to get the world fixed up. We’ve got one shot at it before time runs out altogether. It is up to us to ensure that our new government do what is necessary to get it right for everyone – not just in Australia and the region but for the well-being and future of the entire world.

Yippee! Cheers to that - now let's see whether or not Kevin Rudd turns out to be just as much a US-Israel sock-puppet.

I actually went to a "Goodbye Johnny" party last night. Needless to say, the atmosphere was rather jolly. Bye bye, Johhny.

... if Rudd delivers on the promises he made before the election.

For the sake of the Australian people, those in the wider Australia-Pacific region and also the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, I certainly hope so.

Change for the better is certainly way overdue.

Congratulations to Labor party on victory. Now we are all witnesses what consequences arrogance and narrow minded outlook on world can have on individual's like PM Howard and Costello. I wonder if that will be sufficient lesson for Rudd and his mates. He has big damage to repair if he is to make Aussies welcome everywhere.

Blind following of the US/UK in this suicidal crusade on the rest of the world have made the most infamous period in our homeland's history. I hope and expect to see balance restored within working class and more money spent on creating friendships around less fortunate world and taking lead in clean energy production and promotion not just for us but for our neighbors and the rest of world.

Billions wasted on military and wars could be put in education and agricultural development as climate is threatening our food and water reserves. We must think of poor countries and devise methods of homegrown agriculture for our Asian neighbors, Africa and ME. If we do that we can achieve a thousand times more effective ways of curbing intolerance and wars that are threatening our survival as a mankind.

Aussies are simple and compassionate people and they can do a lot to help stabilize the world. They have to go out from the shadows of US and UK and make their own stance on the world stage. We don't need protection neither from US nor UK and therefore we don't need to follow them in unjust policies and arrogant attitude toward the underprivileged and debt stricken nations. We have great opportunity to reclaim our honor and independence from our western allies. Friendship in common and just interest yes but blind and irrational obedience NO.

World of old politics and alliances has to be reshaped and adapted to new realities that face us all. We need friend not enemies. We need to supply Iraq and Afghanistan with food and civilian knowhow personnel not our military personnel. We have to stand on our own and look in the mirror honestly to see who we are and what we have to offer to the rest of the world so that they do not feel threatened by us. We must make sure that any country in the world can approach us and find us to be honest and helpful human beings that wish to make better tomorrow for everyone irrelevant of their race, religion and political orientation.

We must develop means to help nations overcome outdated and harmful industrial technology because if we don't pollution and poverty of their's will come to our home sooner or later. Prevention is always best remedy. Its not too late for Aussies to reclaim worldwide friendship that it once enjoyed. We can do it if we stand on our own and treat everyone as potential friend and not as the potential enemy. We can either chose to sink with western Titanic or get out on time and call for help (SOS=Save Our Souls).

Aussies still have soul and they must cherish it and share it with the oppressed world. If we do that we will make the best homeland security policy possible.

May God help us reach the Light and show the world that there is still way out of this darkness that has plagued western world for the last fifty years. Wars create misery and enemies, honesty and help creates trust and friends.

"Let there be Light!"

10 seconds to find that info, whats your excuses?

In the "Australian Criminals so far..." article I wrote and published here last year, this link and a dozens more painted the very clear picture of what the reality is no matter who you "vote" for.

Amazingly, every Australian claiming to be against Zionism ignored that article.

Shill site? or just plain docile?

KEVIN Rudd will be “good for the Jews”, most senior communal leaders predicted this week, describing the new Opposition leader as a “personal” friend of Israel.

But others, including supporters of ousted leader Kim Beazley, have criticised Rudd’s “premature” ascent to the Labor leadership and have questioned the credentials of new shadow deputy Julia Gillard, who hails from what one analyst described as “the notoriously anti-Israel left faction”, and remains a virtual unknown in the Jewish community.

This, to my eyes at least, reeks of uncertainty, despite their wish to see Rudd as a 'friend of Israel'.

“We all laud John Howard and Alexander Downer, but Kim Beazley’s speeches were absolutely out of this world. I told him, ‘You know you could have opened the ZFA conference.’ He had such a personal, emotional connection.

“If we can get that out of Kevin Rudd, we’ll be lucky.”

Again it seems that there is nothing uncertainty in the Australian pro-Israhell lobby regarding the allegiances of Australia's new PM.

Bit slow on the uptake, Michael - I read that article months ago, it's from December 2006.

Whatever the case, Rudd is bound to be a vast improvement on Howard.

This item was, written and compiled in December 2006 has been updated to refresh the many links that since are "dead" or broken. The actual content remains the same despite the recent Australian elections that have removed the Howard government and replaced it with another bunch of crooks following the same Zionist/British Israeli political agenda.

15th Dec 2006 (refreshed 26th Nov 2007)

AUSTRALIAN CRIMINALS....SO FAR. by Michael.

Mark Leibler is the criminal behind the Australian Hate Laws. He is the co chair of Reconciliation Australia (causing more division between Aboriginal and 'white' Australians), national chairman of AIJAC and chairman of the World Board of Trustees of Keren Hayesod-UIA. Leibler was also responsible for pressuring the Labour Government, under Paul Keating, to block David Irving's right to make a third lecture tour of Australia in 1993. This speech he spewed out in Melbourne in PUBLIC is grounds for arrest alone. Here he is with more Zionist criminals including the former leader of the ALP, Kim Beazley. Prime Minister John Howard is another Zionist phalic-sucker as this speech, again by Mark Leibler, demonstrates. On 1 December, 2005, Mark Leibler AC, Chairman of the World Board of Trustees of Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal, was presented the distinguished Jerusalem Prize award in Melbourne, Australia, following in the footsteps of last year's recipient, Australia's Foreign Minister (now former), Mr.Alexander Downer.

The "Jerusalem Prize" is awarded to an outstanding personality in the local Jewish community or the general community who supports Israel, Jerusalem and the Zionist Movement and was jointly awarded by the State Zionist Council of Victoria, the Zionist Federation of Australia and the World Zionist Organization.

If you think it's just the Australian Liberal Party that's infested with the Zionist cancer then check out Kevin Rudd, Leader of the Australian Labor Party (since 'voted' in as Australia's latest Prime Minister on the 24th November 2004).

Michael Danby MHR, Federal Member for Melbourne Ports and Opposition Whip is the man who tried in vain to stop publication of Antony Loewenstein's book that examines Australia's increasing and alarming relationship with Israel refering to it as a "propaganda tract". Based in Sydney, Mr. Lowenstein is a Jewish freelance journalist who is concerned about the erosion of free speech in Australia.

More than 250 delegates, VIPs and guests filled the Beth Weizmann auditorium on Monday, 20 November 2006 for the 68th Annual Assembly of the State Zionist Council of Victoria. Marsha Thompson (Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Information and Communication Technology) brought greetings from ALP Premier Steve Bracks, congratulating the community on its contribution to issues such as the racial and religious vilification legislation (Hate Laws) and referring to specific examples of government support for the Zionist community, most notably major funding for a new community centre at 304 Hawthorn Road. The Minister spoke of the extraordinary bonds the Victorian government has created with Israel via VISTECH fund, kicked off after visits by both Premier Bracks, with Tony Lupton and John Brumby (Brumby, as of July 30, 2007, is now the Premier of Victoria). to Israel.

New South Wales ALP Premier Morris Iemma in keeping with pro-Israeli tradition swears his allegiance to the criminals Zionists by dribbling this speech at the Shangri-la Hotel in Sydney on 9 May 2006 in celebration of Israel's 58th Independence Day..."This is my first opportunity as Premier to address you on Israel's Independence Day. It is an honor to do so. In following the example set by my predecessors on BOTH SIDES of politics, I affirm once again, on behalf of the Government of this State, our support for the integrity and independence of Israel...". Say no more

So now let's examine the so-called opposition and 'alternative' to these State Governments starting with the New South Wales Liberal 'opposition' leader Peter Debman, who last visited Israel in July 2005, had this to say at the the first [international] celebration of the 58th anniversary of the Jewish State: ..I'm delighted to remember the anniversary and start planning for the 60th, which he said he would like to celebrate in Israel. At a cocktail reception for Jewish leaders before the event, NSW Minister for Roads Eric Roozendaal said: "The greatest current enemy of Israel, and a publicly declared enemy of peace, has a name and he has a face. "People of goodwill everywhere must condemn the comments of the president of Iran, must urge their governments to withhold nuclear technology and materials, and push for speedy intervention to stop this madman. "The free world cannot allow Iran to make bombs and cannot allow Iran to send bombs."

Okay, so who is the Victorian State 'opposition'?. Victorian Liberal State 'opposition' is Ted Baillieu. He, too, was represented by MP for Caulfield Helen Shardey at the 68th Annual Assembly of the State Zionist Council of Victoria by saying that Baillieu "...come to know and understand the Jewish community". Her message also encompassed the Federal Government's outstanding continued support of Israel and the community.

In response to an Iranian government's letter that accused the US and its allies, including Australia, of being Israel's "partner in crime" for failing to condemn its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon Victorian Liberal Senator Mitch Fifield said it was "outrageous and disgusting attack on the State of Israel" without even acknowledging that the Iranian government were merely outlining a fact. This should hardly surprise anyone at all if one examines his political roots and his support for Israel

It matters not who you vote for because EVERY vote is a vote for GENOCIDE!...Ignore them and DO NOT VOTE!

The truth is that for at least fifty years the Zionists have stood over Australian politicians on both sides of the non-existent political divide with the exception of Prime Minister Harold Holt, who "disapeared" while swimming at Cheviot Beach near Portsea, Victoria on 17 December, 1967. His body was never recovered.

It would appear, according to Senator Robert Collins, from this unbroadcasted 1992 parliamentary session that Holt was getting ready to announce banking reforms.

Senator Bob Collins (Northern Territory - Sixth Assembly First Session 12/05/92 Parliamentary Record No:10):

"On the way to America, I had conversations with people and it was suggested that our own Prime Minister, Harold Holt, had been planning to do something with the banking system, possibly along the lines spoken of by Arthur Cresby*. No evidence was tendered on that. I spoke to a gentleman in Alice Springs about this matter, but I will not mention his name. I said that I had no proof in relation to it. He offered the following information even though I had never spoken to him about this matter before. He said:

'that, on the morning that Harold Holt disappeared, he and his father were farming in South Australia. They rose early, as was their habit, and they were listening to the 6 o'clock news when the ABC announced that, later in the day, the Prime Minister would make an important announcement to the Australian people. That did not occur, and Harold Holt disappeared. The gentleman told me that they rang the ABC to ask about this important announcement and were told that no such announcement had been made. That was an interesting little point. If the Prime Minister's announcement related to proposed legislation, one could well have suspected that the parliamentary draftsmen would have been aware of it. How Harold Holt disappeared is a matter that intrigues many Australians.'

During this Parliamentary session Collins also speaks about the "Franklin Coverup" and brings attention to John DeCamp's book of the same title. It is hardly surprising then that years later in June 2004 Bob Collins would be victim to a mysterious car accident that nearly killed him. Whilst recovering from surgury he was then subjected to a police raid at his home in which his home computer containing, what prosecuters later alleged, 54 child-porn images was seized. Additionally four men had made allegations that Collins had sexually assaulted them as children, more than thirty years previously. On the 21st September 2007 Collins passed away before he could defend the charges in court. Flag marshals had been notified to half-mast their flags in honour of Collins on the day of the funeral but that advice was later withdrawn by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. It would seem that the Australian Government had pronounced Collins guilty without a court of law to determine the evidence allegedly against him.


John F Kennedy was also ready to make a similar announcement just prior to his murder on 22 November 1963.


Not to mention this mob:

The Zionist Federation of Australia.

"The Zionist Federations are charged with implementing the agenda of the World Zionist Organization."

And there is a branch NEAR YOU!


*Arthur Cresby wrote a booklet entitled "Your Will Be Done". Unfortunately, at this time, I have been unable to secure a copy but the link provided gives an idea of what Cresby's position was with the overall scheme of things.

excerpts:

“Modern Labor supports the State of Israel for three basic reasons: the legacy of the Holocaust, the central role of the UN in the creation of the State of Israel as a construct of international law and the fact that Israel is a vibrant, democratic state in a region where democracy remains far from the norm,” Rudd wrote.

But at a private function for Jewish leaders in Melbourne last weekend, Rudd said his support for Israel is "in his DNA".

for bringing these salient facts to our attention.

I might have otherwise thought that things were changing for the better in Australia.

but, apparently they remain the same.

That's interesting stuff about Bob Collins, Michael. Thanks. I'm especially grateful for having been pointed to his '92 speach in parliament.

The old child-porn-found-on-the-personal-computer trick, huh?

* * *

Let's not spend too much time arguing about how good or bad a Rudd government will be.

We may be even more compromised here than they are in the States. It's hard to tell. It goes without saying that any new leader will have done the rounds - with surprisingly little fanfare - and bowed and scraped in front of the right people, for a sufficient amount of time, on a sufficient number of occasions...

That's exactly right, but Israel is America's master, and America is Australia's master, that's basically how it is. Thus, it's more a matter of how obsequious and obliging Rudd will be to the US and it's current and forthcoming administrations, than how subservient he'll be to Israel. This is why I'm more interested in American politics than Australian politics. Where America goes, Australia goes, like a good little lemming.

Crimes of Zion | Tue, 2007-11-27 08:39

if US is going to hell will we go to? How much is too much for anyone to follow. Its true that Aussies have been followers since their beginning but I hope they will stand for themselves and refuse to go to hell. Us is bound to suffer fate of Rome and all its allies will suffer more or less same consequences. Will Rudd and co be blind enough to let that happen we will see. If he could not learn from Howard's fiasco than I guess he will be chased tomorrow running for his life when all hell breaks loose. Those Zionist centers in Oz will find no refuge in that time when people will be deaf to authority and oppression. Woe to them on that day. There will be no US to hide migrate to, no Eu to give shelter and Zion will burn in its own flames. There is still chance to avert that and return to justice and seek forgiveness from the oppressed. I hope they will pay heed and reconsider their ill behavior.
