17 November 2010 Thought for the Week: ABC News: Immigration facing 'chaos' after High Court decision: A High Court decision on asylum seekers is threatening to undermine the Federal Government's offshore processing system. In a judgement handed down today, the court upheld a challenge mounted by two Sri Lankan Tamil asylum seekers who had their refugee claims rejected. The men wanted to challenge that decision in the courts but were prevented from doing so because they were being held in an offshore detention centre on Christmas Island. But Andrew Bolt reports: But the full bench of the High Court did not uphold the asylum-seekers’ broader challenge to the validity of section 46A of the Migration Act, which could have resulted in thousands of asylum-seeker determinations being thrown into jeopardy. - - Source |
WAR WITH CHINA OR BOW DOWN TO NEW CHINESE EMPIREby James Reed For example, China has about 1 per cent of the world’s known oil reserves but consumes 10 per cent of all oil exports and it has around 14 per cent of the world’s known coal reserves but consumes around half of the world’s coal exports. China’s consumption is set to rise as an inevitable consequence of economic growth, even though the Chinese Communist Party is talking about reducing dependency on foreign resources. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, has said that China is “testing” the world. China has claimed the entire South China sea as its “core interest’. In retaliation to a shipping dispute with Japan it placed restrictions on the export of rare earth minerals needed for the manufacture of advanced electronics. China has 98 per cent of the world’s supply of these rare earth minerals and has shown what it will do. Strategic studies expert Paul Dibb, “If China Bullies on the High Seas, It May Need to be Taught a Naval Lesson”, The Australian 8/11/2020 p.14, is right in seeing China becoming “an increasingly assertive military power”. It is early days yet. China is watching America decay and waiting its time before it conquers the world. |
WARM AND TENDER CARE FOR REFUGEES !by James Reed Oh, forget about simmering tensions in the Adelaide Hills and claims that “Refugees to ‘Harm’ Kids Education,” The Australian 20/10/2010 p.2. It is the same story with each wave of refugees. Oh please new world order, move all six billion smiling faces to the suburbs so that we can have even more diversity! In fact, move the entire Third World to Woodside, the residents have riches and bounties to share with all! Their schools can cope with the billions! While we are in the mood of universal love, let the churches sell up all their property and meet on the street, having given their wealth to refugees! Let the universities be made into housing for the poor of Africa! Let the ASX become a soup kitchen for the hungry! And let us all walk on water in celebration of the great god of migration! P.S. The Australian, 1/11/2010 p.5 has a big colour picture of three Afghans outside their family restaurant in Islamabad: two of them plan to seek asylum in Australia. The article, as I read it, gave no evidence of persecution. They just want a better life, so here they come. The article cites the example of a Pakistani father with a sick daughter who wants to get a visa on medical grounds so when he gets to Australia he can seek asylum and his daughter can get a $140,000 operation for free! I suggest that the superannuation of every academic in Australia be taken by a new law, and put in a fund so that the disadvantaged of the world can have these operations! |
HOUSE PRICES RISING: THE FACE OF IMMIGRATIONby James Reed |
WOLFENSON AND ‘MATES’ PREPARE FOR ASIAN RULEby Peter Ewer Wolfenson’s parents came to Australia in the 1930s. He himself went to study at Harvard University and onwards to a banking career. So no doubt he supports this global transformation. The article revealed he had “just regained his Australian citizenship which he had given up when he was being considered for the World Bank presidency.” |
ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLDby Betty Luks When you can issue receipts for gold that doesn’t exist, and the unsuspecting public use the receipts (bits of paper, mind you) as ‘money’ in place of the imaginary gold - then surely you would think that you had struck ‘pay dirt’! But let’s back-track to an historical event of immense importance One leather disc = one head of cattle: The merchant of grain and fodder was generally an itinerant, and it was not always convenient for him to take away the cattle; so he took from the cattle owner a leather disc which represented one head of cattle. Sometimes it had on it a rude engraving of the cow's head, or something of that sort, and sometimes it hadn't. Indeed most of you know as well as I do that the Latin word for cattle is pecus, and our modern word pecuniary derived from it is historical proof, if any were necessary, of the derivation of the first money. The owner of the real wealth made ‘money’: "Now, in that simple arrangement there is one point of immense importance to be noticed, and that is that the owner of the wealth, that is to say the owner of the cattle, actually, literally, in truth, made - not metaphorically but actually – money, representing his wealth in the same sense that the railway makes tickets - not in the sense that the modern businessman 'makes' money when he says he makes money. It is so long ago since he made any money that he has forgotten probably that he ever did say it, but when he did say it he was mistaken; he never made a cent in his life. If he had he would have been in gaol for counterfeiting. All he did was to get money that somebody else had, but the original man about whom I am talking for the moment, the owner of cattle, actually made money. Tokens of the real wealth: He made his
leather discs as the owner of the wealth; they were tokens of wealth *which existed, those discs, and the issuer of the token and the owner of the wealth
were the same person…” POLICY is the fundamental issue: The fundamental issue here is not ‘greedy’ bankers, it is not even ownership or administration - although they are important - IT IS POLICY. The real issue is the POLICY upon which the banks operate – are they there to govern and control the real wealth of the people or are they there to serve the people? Once upon a time, in the early 20th century, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia was set up by a Labor government to serve the interests of the People. It provided a service in competition with the private banks, but eventually another Labor government, when in power, ‘privatised’ the people’s bank. Thank you for nothing Mr. Keating! “Part V. Powers of the Parliament Section
51” of the Commonwealth Constitution relates
to the powers of The Parliament “to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of the Commonwealth”, and * Further reading: “The Creation and Control of Money”, “The Money Trick” , “The Story of the Commonwealth Bank” - all books available from Heritage Book Services. |
ROYAL SOCIETY BOWS TO CLIMATE ‘SCEPTICS’The Times’ Ben Webster (30 September 2010) reported: |
GLOBAL COOLING AND NEW WORLD ORDERSource: James Delingpole from the Daily Telegraph 26 September 2010, had this to say on the matter: The 58th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Sitges, Spain 3 — 6 June 2010. The Conference will deal mainly with Financial Reform, Security, Cyber Technology, Energy, Pakistan, Afghanistan, World Food Problem, Global Cooling, Social Networking, Medical Science, EU-US relations. Let me explain briefly why this is a bombshell waiting to explode. Almost every government in the Western world from the USA to Britain to all the other EU states to Australia and New Zealand is currently committed to a policy of ‘decarbonisation’. This in turn is justified to (increasingly sceptical) electorates on the grounds that man-made CO2 is a prime driver of dangerous global warming and must therefore be reduced drastically, at no matter what social, economic and environmental cost. All this, of course, spells big trouble for the global power elite. As well as leading to food shortages (as, for example, it becomes harder to grow wheat in northerly latitudes; adding, of course, to such already-present disasters as biofuels and the rejection of GM), global cooling is going to find electorates increasingly angry that they have been sold a pup… More here… |
OUT WITH THE “OUT OF AFRICA” THEORYby Brian Simpson The idea behind the African Eve theory has been challenged on scientific grounds. A paper published by Erik Trinkaus in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA”, was summarised in “Is the Out of Africa Theory Out”, Scientific American thus: “All the Ancestors of contemporary Europeans apparently did not migrate out of Africa as previously believed. According to a new analysis of more than 5000 teeth from long-perished members of the genus Homo and the closely related Australopithecus, many early settlers hailed from Asia”. My guess is that the Establishment will soon move to put up Asia as the mother of us all. But at least the African Eve theory is coming to get some of the criticism it deserves. African Eve has truly lost her fig leaf. |
IMAGINE IF JOHN LENNON HAD LIVED !by James Reed If Lennon lived, he and the indescribable Yoko Ono would have given us more of the rubbish they produced in the 70s. No doubt it would have gotten worse. But how about some real music for a change? Songs like ‘Imagine (there’s no immigration’); ‘Give War a Chance’ and ‘Happiness is a Warm Gun’. But wait – the last is a Lennon song (at least he had one good song title). The Australian coverage of Lennon’s 70th birthday (if he had lived) (October 11, 2010, p.11) is in the middle of the page. The story above it reads: “New Wave of Toxic Sludge feared”. Oh – God help us! |
THE CARBON CARD AND THE COMING STARVATIONby James Reed In a column by journalist Andrew Bolt “What a buzz for the closet totalitarian to bully people for their own good to save the planet” (The Advertiser 3/11/2010 p.22), he points out that $390,000 of taxpayers’ money has been spent on a “carbon card” for Norfolk Islanders, to fight obesity and global warming. When they buy things they have “carbon units” deducted from the card. If they buy “politically incorrect” foods, more units will be lost. Each year the number of carbon units in the market will be cut, forcing Norfolk Islanders to ration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Presumably when the carbon card is empty, they will just starve – which solves the problem of obesity. These type of crazy totalitarian schemes are cooked up by the new class elite on a daily basis. No doubt the Norfolk Island scheme will be tried on the mainland – that is, you and me – soon. Because people just don’t resist, soon their freedom to eat will be taken away. The “peasants” won’t even have cake to eat - but maybe they can eat carbon? |
