27 April 2012 Thought for the Week: Hallelujah Chorus - Eskimo students and adults present their version of the Hallelujah Chorus for all the world to enjoy. For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth Write and thank the young Alaskans from wherever you are around the world! Video of Osprey catching its prey: This is magnificent, but not for the fish. The display of aeronautical engineering, especially when the Osprey comes out of the water shaking its head with its wings 'wrapping' which would require tremendous confusing skills to compensate for the changes in aerodynamics. Also look how beautifully streamlined the feet are when not in use, and how the talons open and are lowered just like 747 undercarriages. How wonderful. |
PELL ON THE ‘LITTLE JEWISH PEOPLE’ AND GERMAN SUFFERINGby Betty Luks Pell later apologised for this “Jewish low blow” as the Sydney Morning Herald (13 April, 2012) put it. In his apology he said that “historically” or “culturally” unequal may have been better terms than “intellectually”. He also said that he referred to the Germans to show the “mysterious way great crimes are punished.” Of course, and no references though to the alleged “Other Losses” death of German people after World War II. Canadian James Bacque in his work “Other Losses” charges that hundreds of thousands of German prisoners who had fled the Eastern front were designated as "Disarmed Enemy Forces" in order to avoid recognition under the third Geneva Convention, for the purpose of carrying out their deaths through disease or slow starvation. “Other Losses cites documents in the U.S. National Archives and interviews with people who stated they witnessed the events. The book claims that there was a "method of genocide" in the banning of Red Cross inspectors, the returning of food aid, the policy regarding shelter building, and soldier ration policy. Through the KGB's archives in the 1990s, Bacque's continuing research confirmed the death total of the POWs in western camps. This incident illustrates that thought, which even accidentally, or from on-the-spot stress which turns out to be less than clear, may be pounded and pounded in the psycho-politically correct society. Some people would argue that the Germans have suffered more than any people in history, and also that the ancient Egyptians were intellectually superior to the ancient Jews. Pell, it seems, does not hold to this view, nevertheless, these sorts of propositions are now totally out of intellectual bounds. Unless of course, one wanted to argue that Anglo Saxons are the wickedest people ever to walk the face of the Earth. Then, expect the Establishment to give you a publishing contract and a juicy research grant! |

THEY ALL SHARE THE SAME POLICY!by Betty Luks Whether a lump sum or staggered, the policy says it all Such a policy has been in existence for more than eighty years – it is called Social Credit. Its policies draw on the important cultural heritage as well as the power of the ‘machine age’. Its objective is “Social stability by the integration of means and ends.” It is a policy which ensures the families themselves would decide what was the best course for themselves – not political parties or bankers or newspapermen. |
WORLD WAR V HAS BEGUNby James Reed Part of the coming war, which will be extremely “hot”, is “cold”, involving economic warfare. This is seen in the present Huawei controversy, where the government has rejected the Chinese firm Huawei for the National Broadband Network. ASIO whispered in Gilly’s ear that Huawei had connections to the People’s Liberation Army. Indeed, a US Congressional Committee found that the company, like all companies in China, was controlled by the communist government and supplied IT hardware to the People’s Liberation Army. It would feel obligated to put some embedded spyware into the system, if it was used. In Britain the intelligence services had to check all the servers, routers, chips and hardware installed by Huawei after Huawei was involved in Britain’s broadband project, and its doubtful whether they succeeded in picking everything up. (The Australian, 29 March, 2012, p.7) At the same time moneyman Wayne Swan is beside himself about the government’s policy direction on Asia because on a business as usual scenario, Asia in 15 years will be the world’s largest consumption zone. According to Swan, the mining boom is “only the first taste of Asia’s rise”. He is too busy singing Asia’s virtues to realize that the sun also sets. According to Dow Chemical chief executive Andrew Liveras “Australia’s present growth trajectory is unsustainable” and China may be moving away from an energy-intensive economy, hence “Chinese Driven Resources Boom Doomed…”, (The Australian, 28 March, 2012, p.2). But Swan and co are not thinking long-term because they are likely to be aware that their fate is sealed at the next election. Which leads to… |
THIS IS MORE THAN A LOOMING BEE OF A PROBLEMWe at the League have long been interested in health issues and our record confirms the claim. Such books as Sir Albert Howard’s “An Agricultural Testament”; Ralph Lazlett Duck’s “Thine is the Kingdom”; F. H. King’s “Farmers of Forty Centuries: Organic Farming in China, Korea and…”; Lady Phyllis Cilento’s “We Are What We Eat”& “You Can’t Live Without Vitamin C”, are among the many we have promoted over the years, always encouraging readers to take responsibility – as much as they are able - for their own health and well being. What about Rachael Carson’s “Silent Spring”? The latest news on the mysterious disappearance of bee colonies, especially in America and Europe once again rang the alarm bells. One headline read: “Steiner Predicted The Bee Crisis, 75 Yrs Ago” by Quinta Essentia, News Forum. Among the workers was a professional beekeeper, Mr Müller, who contributed to these lectures in the form of insights and questions. However, Mr Müller rebelled vehemently and showed no understanding when Steiner explained the intricacies of the queen bee, mentioning that the modern method of breeding queens (using the larvae of worker bees, a practice that had already been in use for about fifteen years) would have long-term detrimental effects, so grave that: What about the health of bees now? Mystery of the Disappearing Bees… Solved! by Richard Schiffman, 9/4/2012: Thousands of scientific sleuths have been on this case for the last 15 years trying to determine why our honey bees are disappearing in such alarming numbers. “This is the biggest general threat to our food supply,”
Until recently, the evidence was inconclusive on the cause of the mysterious “colony collapse disorder” (CCD) that threatens the future of beekeeping worldwide. But three new studies point an accusing finger at a culprit that many have suspected all along, a class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids
In the U.S. alone, these pesticides, produced primarily by the German chemical giant Bayer and known as “neonics” for short, coat a massive 142 million acres of corn, wheat, soy and cotton seeds. They are also a common ingredient in home gardening products.
Research published last month
Another study
Purdue University entomologists observed bees at infected hives exhibiting tremors, uncoordinated movement and convulsions, all signs of acute insecticide poisoning. And yet another study
But scientists believe that exposure to toxic pesticides is only one factor that has led to the decline of honey bees in recent years. The destruction and fragmentation of bee habitats, as a result of land development and the spread of monoculture agriculture, deprives pollinators of their diverse natural food supply. This has already led to the extinction of a number of wild bee species. The planting of genetically modified organism (GMO) crops – some of which now contain toxic insecticides within their genetic structure – may also be responsible for poisoning bees and weakening their immune systems
While Australia is a relative latecomer in GMO crops – chemical sprays have been around for quite a while. Anyone for their own home-grown vegetable patch? |
THEY DO WITH THEIR HANDS WHAT THEY DENY WITH THEIR MOUTHS“Saving the human rights charter by ditching the democratic will” from Andrew Bolt’s blog 13 April 2012: “Professor James Allan is appalled that Premier Ted Ballieu has sided with Labor against scrapping Victoria’s charter of human rights - and so betrayed voters: Baillieu (is) ignoring the views of all four of his Coalition MPs on the parliamentary charter review committee in favour of the three Labor MPs.... My core objection, stated again and again, is that bills of rights are undemocratic. They take decisions out of the hands of the voters, where we all count the same, and give them to committees of ex-lawyer judges.... These people are sincere, well-meaning advocates for a bill of rights. They just hold what at core are undemocratic, or aristocratic “we need judicial superiors to second-guess you voters and legislators’ views"… And on average I say that voters don’t like bills of rights. Baillieu went into the last election as a known opponent of the Victorian charter, as did Robert Clark the Attorney-General. So in a sense this Damascene conversion is a surrender; it is a selling out of what the voters expected from you.” When will it finally dawn on Liberal voters that the politicians/party do the same as does the Labor politicians/party? They ‘ride on the backs’ of the faithful voters to gain political power – but they are not really ‘of them’. They have different agendas. |
UNIVERSITIES, LIKE BACTERIA, DIE IN THEIR OWN TOXIC SLUDGEby James Reed Perhaps a good first step to create the really super duper Asian university would be to eliminate the largely White academics and replace them with overseas Asians. Start with all vice-chancellors first. Let us see how gung-ho the Asianisers are when their jobs are given away and their superannuation given to Asian migrants and refugees. And let us hope that the debasing of the degree happens very quickly to bring this misery to an end. |
PAUL KEATING, RACIAL POLICEMAN FOR ASIAby Peter West |
RACE, LAW AND THE AMERICAN JUNGLEby Chris Knight The killing of Trayvon Marton, a black in Miami by police officer George Zimmerman, has led to fury on the part of US blacks who see the killing as a race hate crime. Before we get too excited note that Zimmerman’s father is White and his mother is Hispanic, so he is interracial like Prezzie Hussein Obama. But he is free to identify as being Hispanic. So if there is a race hate crime, it is Black vs Hispanic/interracial. Oddly Obama has said: “When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.” Obviously another unscripted remark because Martin must have been up to no good for the shooting to have occurred. Here is why, consider the circumstances as we know them from the patchy media reports, Zimmerman saw Martin and began following him, telling police dispatchers that he looked suspicious. At a later point the two got into a fight and Zimmerman shot Martin in self defence, the police allege. The defence is claiming that the case falls under Florida’s “stand your ground” self defence law, which does not require retreat and permits, under attack, force to be met by force. According to the Kansas City Star, Martin was on top of Zimmerman at the time (known in Mixed Martial Arts as a “mount” and a “ground and pound”). Martin also at the time, was under a 10-day suspension from school for assaulting a bus driver. Obama has said also: “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon” which can be translated as “Trayvan is black so I will say this to get your vote having not done much for blacks in my presidency.” Black activist Jesse Jackson preached a sermon to a “hoodie-wearing” congregation about the death of Trayvon Martin: “He wasn’t killed because of the hoodie. He was killed because he was black.” Not to be outdone, the New Black Panthers, according to the Orlando Sentinel were offering a $10,000 bounty for the capture of George Zimerman. If Whites had said or done this, it would be the race-hate crime of the century, but the system allows it. In The Wall Street Journal, Juan Williams asked: “Nationally, nearly half of all murder victims are black. And most of those black people are killed by other black people. Where is the march for them?” (The Australian, March 30, 2012, p.8) Williams though did not analyse the full extent of the race/crime problem. As detailed in "The Color of Crime", there are some astonishing race/crime statistics. |
DOCTORS IN BIG PHARMA LANDby Brian Simpson Consider arthritis pain, discussed the same day in the other Murdoch paper The Advertiser (24 March, 2012, p.21). Rosehip powder apparently gives relief here. Growing numbers of people, the article says, are turning to “complementary medicine” often because of the side effects of orthodox medicine. I recently had bad insomnia and the best my doctor could do is give me sleeping tablets that led to depression and even worse insomnia (known as “paradoxical effect”). Alternative medicines based on centuries of folk wisdom often come to be found to be as effective as existing drugs, with less or no side effects. Fish oil, for example, is now part of the mainstream treatment for arthritis. The critics of alternative medicine are silent about the grand conspiracy between doctors and Big Pharma and the multitude of corrupt doings that go on, including scientific fraud. Entire internet sites are devoted to this issue. |
