It is Patriot Day in USA and time to remember why we are at war with terror. It is also an election year for US Congress.
Two years ago, in another election year, Obama was dancing with Beyonce and unable to be contacted when his personal pick for Libyan ambassador was calling for help over a terrorist hit. Sadly Hilary Clinton was on hand to deny aid and give weapons to ISIS forces without interference from special forces. Clinton and Rice blamed an Egyptian Coptic filmmaker, even pointing him out to terrorists, as reason for the attack.
The White house had been in election mode and had claimed Al Qaeda was no more as an international force. When Romney referred to it in debate, media mugged him for Obama. A year later, Obama had wanted to bomb Syria in favour of ISIS. Russia said 'no' and so the White house favoured an illegitimate government in Ukraine which forced Moscow to claim their own naval dock yard and brought ethnic tensions to the surface in Ukraine which resulted in MH17. Obama needs to project strength if he is to get a congress that will work to his agenda, but who feels that such a congress would be worthwhile?
As Bill Clinton showed, a hostile congress can get good bills past an incompetent President. It is Patriot day and worth remembering victims of 9/11. An Australian wife of a victim at the World Trade Centre has opened a door to his room for the first time since that day. Their child is teaching at a high school.
It is worse than a life interrupted, there are all the blessings of a life together and the growth together, the nesting, the aims for a future. And it was all denied forever. It was terror, but many Islamic leaders have claimed it was Islam which which committed the atrocity. In the Middle East people are recorded cheering the atrocity. Saddam Hussein in Iraq paid money to suicide bombers after the event. There was, as then President Bush noted, an Axis of Evil. People claiming that there was a purpose to the evil, twisting a knife into families of victims.
And the cause, at the root, is no different from that which Israel has defended herself from her beginning as a modern state. Terror has changed us in the west. But the legacy of what has made the west great is still there. Left wing discourse on the issue is very wide of the mark and looking flaky because of it.
'War for oil'? We need to be humble.
We need to own our mistakes. We need to want to be free. We need to fight for our treasure. The soldiers that fought for America in WW2 are correctly referred to as 'The Greatest Generation.' But what will they call those who in the face of terrorism got confused? For thirteen years since 9/11, activists have failed to explain what happened in their discourse of why things happen.
ABC continues to oppose Australia in war. Australia has a proud history in war, but not perfect. The ABC view seems oppositional, one sided, corrosive, misguided and contrary to their charter. Meanwhile opposition leader Shorten has tried to torpedo a $20 billion submarine deal with Japan which might force a bad $40 billion deal with people who cannot produce excellent vehicles with equivalent speed. No doubt Shorten will be excused for any digger that dies as a result of his bad speech.
The Lin family murders were horrible and so far not fully explained. A relative is facing court in relation to the killings. They had custody of a survivor who had been absent at the time of the killings. The survivor, a young female, is alleging sexual abuse by her subsequent guardian which others feel could be a motive. The child survivor has not done anything wrong and deserves much better than what she has so far been given in life.
But many things are unfair. Presaging Pistorius verdict, Leigh Sales on ABC 7:30 report calls Pistorius a 'Fallen hero.' The judge at trial has presaged the verdict by taking on board serious issues raised by the defence. He has been found not guilty of murder. One can still hope for a custodial sentence and disgrace related to his behaviour. ICAC has heard how a $20k check from a banned donor developer did not go directly to the Liberal Party but instead went to what they called a slush fund.
So the ICAC does not think slush funds are appropriate? Under what circumstances might they be?
Still the ICAC has no evidence of corruption. Injustice has no end. Aboriginal children are suffering from racist myths just as 1400 children of Rotherham have. Racism needs to be opposed, but it isn't being opposed rationally by laws that claim to, like 18c.
Nobody has proposed a better defence than a free press to safeguard western nations from corruption, but the press have a strong left wing agenda and are weak, not free. And the suppression of free speech has resulted in the abuse detailed in the top end of Australia, and Rotherham, in numbers that would not be tolerated were the news known, and not censored by race. An Australian detective is working to protect children from pedophiles in South East Asia. He has sacrificed everything to do so after being on holiday and approached by a pimp with an offer. In Australia Federal Border Protection and Immigration Minister Morrison has done a brilliant job to date, but deserve to be given access to Temporary Protection Visas to do even better. A child of a newly arrived Afghan couple has died after falling into a creek at a barbecue.
Three years old, surviving a harsh journey, only to fall in a tragic accident. Frightbats of the media are lying and feeding a false narrative of the world. They trip up on facts, but their fans don't notice, or defend them. One statistic that fails the anti government rhetoric is the unemployment statistic that has over 120k employed recently, but no reason for it. There was a chilling statistic recently suggesting unemployment rose for no reason too.
One unexplained fact gets accepted by the anti government rabble, another is rejected from the same source, suggesting it is the narrative that is wrong. There are difficult jobs, like that of cabinet minister for the stool of a King, but what about jobs done for free, unpaid, out of love? Google has such a wonderful permanent frat party aspect for her workers so that some don't bother having homes. A solar storm approaches Australia, but we will survive. Ebola has been reported as not being in Australia after a sick person complained it might be. Self diagnosis is fraught. From 2013 We begin tonight and the editorial will finish with Saddam Hussein.
Today is 9/11. On the eleventh of September 2001 some terrorists claiming to be Islamic took down four flights of commercial aircraft and killed thousands of people, changing the way democracy works in America. The day was chosen because of the emergency call number in the US. But any excuse could be made. Terrorism has no meaning, and should never be allowed to win, or be seen to win. Pointed look at Obama. The left wing dominate the free press, but don't have moral rectitude.
Abbott's daughters have been pictured with Mr Abbott on the FB page ' The page has been reported to FB, which replies it is within the bounds of community standards. In the same vein as having a biased press is useful for conservatives to get votes in a conservative cycle, this kind of page will disgust reasonable people. But it is a sad indictment on the community standard, and as an equivalent involving the left wing would not be tolerated, it is a double standard. Mr Abbott is still a few days from announcing a ministry.
Sadly Sophie Mirabella seems to have missed out in her electorate. The media attacks on her have been very dirty. The expected winner of the seat of Indi is a conservative who has the support of Tony Windsor, another so called conservative who supported the ALP as an independent on many occasions over his entire career. So Mr Abbott's government has not begun yet, but the opposition will begin masturbating. Fires have claimed a few houses in NSW, and rage in California. The NSW fires have added poignancy, with some having been deliberately lit and with a thief having stolen a laptop from an open window of a damaged house.
Another fire burns inside the heart of Obama who really wants to hit Syria with more than pins. One can only imagine what the pricks have done to Whitehouse maps of Syria, Obama wants to use real weapons. Only the world won't let him. Assad is in discussions to surrender chemical weapons. One hopes this happens and the history of those weapons is analysed to see how Saddam did it. And with which Democrat's support. For twenty two years I have been responsibly addressing an issue, and I cannot carry on.
I am petitioning the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to remedy my distress. I leave it up to him if he chooses to address the issue. Regardless of your opinion of conservative government, the issue is pressing. Please sign my petition at. Via Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings.
As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. ed I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there.
Keep heart David take care. I have begun a which will allow greater latitude for members to post and interact. It is not subject to FB policy and so greater range is allowed in posts. Also there are private members rooms in which nothing is censored, except abuse. All welcome, registration is free. Happy birthday and many happy returns,.

Earliest date on which can fall, while September 12 is the latest, celebrated on the first day of. Day, proclaimed by President on in. (United States communities, particularly the local). (United States). 1st day of in the Piers Akerman – Thursday, September 11, 2014 (8:02pm ). TICKLISH questions remain swirling around Julia Gillard following her appearance at the royal commission into trade union corruption. Not the least of which is the haste with which she sought to distance herself from the two witnesses who preceded her into the witness box on Wednesday and their remarks about her role in suggesting the establishment of a slush fund similar to the one she assisted former boyfriend Bruce Wilson set up in Western Australia — the Australian Workers Union Workplace Reform Association.
Tim Blair – Thursday, September 11, 2014 (4:24am ). One hundred years ago today, Australians took part in one of the first engagements of World War One, the Battle of Bitapaka in Papua New Guinea. And, being the ABC, it marks the occasion with its usual respect for the military and for credible, verifiable sources: New claims have emerged about the execution of German and Papua New Guinean prisoners by Australian servicemen during Australia’s first WWI battle, which occurred on this day 100 years ago For years, there have been rumours of executions by the Australians after the battle of Bitapaka, and now an old tape recording of a witness appears to confirm them. The eye witness, an elder in the village of Kabakaul, said he saw the Australians come ashore, and he described the execution of two white men and a number of native police. ‘Then a big man of war said “fire” and they all died,’ said the man identified on the tape as Bob, speaking in the Tok Pisin language. ‘They shot all the men who were lined up on one side. Only one boy was alright, a young boy such as this, he ran away.
So they all died and the trench they dug was full with dead bodies.’ The recording was made in the 1960s by a plantation owner Ian Purvis, who was living near Rabaul In all, six Australians are listed as being killed in the battle of Bitapaka on the 11th of September 1914 Officially, one German soldier and 30 native police are listed as being killed in the battle of Bitapaka. Great sources. September 11 2014 (7:20pm). Does Dan Andrews really want to make Labor seem the party that rips up contracts? That creates sovereign risk?
That leaves key arterials clogged? DUMPING the East West Link would force motorists to endure decades of congestion, Premier Denis Napthine says. Dr Napthine today fired back at Labor’s plan to reject the $6-8 billion road project if it wins the election The Premier said he was “very confident” the government would win a looming Supreme Court case, in which inner Melbourne councils are arguing the planning process surrounding East West Link was unlawful. Labor is understood to be using that court case as a reason to declare any road contract signed before the election as invalid Until today, Mr Andrews had said Labor would build the East West Link if it won the election and contracts were already signed.
This morning, he told 3AW that he had changed his mind He said it was “not legally safe” for the government to sign a contract while there is a Supreme Court case looming against the project. September 11 2014 (5:20pm). George W Bush warned in 2007 that pulling out of Iraq would be deadly, and the US would be forced to go back in: It would mean that we would be risking mass killings on a horrific scale.It would mean we allow terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan. It would mean the increasing probability that US troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.
But Obama did pull out all US forces, against the warnings of his generals. He even boasted about it in the presidential debates: No, but what I — what I would not have done is left 10,000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down.
That certainly would not help us in the Middle East. The slaughter that followed has been ghastly: US President Barack Obama has authorised air strikes against Islamic State group targets inside Syria for the first time, pledging to destroy its fighters “wherever they exist”. In an address to the nation on Wednesday, Obama also announced an expansion of strikes in Iraq, saying. Obama called on Congress to authorise a programme to train and arm rebels in Syria who are fighting both the Islamic State group and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Too little and far too late. Just a month ago, Obama ridiculed the idea he’s now embraced, a year or two too late, of arming moderate Syrian rebels: It’s always been a fantasy, this idea that we could provide some light arms or even more sophisticated arms to what was essentially an opposition made up of former doctors, farmers, pharmacists and so forth. John McCain attacks: McCAIN: No, facts are stubborn things, Mr.
Carney, and that is the President’s entire national security team, including the Secretary of State said he want to arm and train and equip these people and he made the unilateral decision to turn them down. The fact he didn’t a residual force in Iraq, overruled all of his military advisers, is the reason why we’re facing ISIS today. So the facts are stubborn things in history and people ought to know them. And now the president is saying basically that we are going to take certain actions, which I would favor, but to say that America is safer, and that the situation is very much like Yemen and Somalia shows me that the president really doesn’t have a grasp for how serious the threat of ISIS is. CARNEY: Well, again, Senator, we’re going to have to agree to disagree.
And I think on the question of the residual force, there was another player in that which was the Iraqi government. A, and B, it was the fulfillment of the previous administration’s withdrawal plan. And it was also the fulfillment of the president’s promise to withdraw from Iraq and not maintain a true presence, in perpetuity, which is pretty consistent with what the American people wanted and believed it was the right approach. Carney, you are again saying facts that are patently false. The fact is because Senator Lindsey Graham, former Senator Joe Lieberman and I, we were in Baghdad, they wanted a residual force.
The president has never made a statement during that or after that he wanted a residual force left behind. The Iraqis were ready to go. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that the number cascaded down to 3,500. That was not sufficient to do anything but to defend themselves.
And you in your role as a spokesperson bragged about the fact that the last American combat troop had left Iraq. If we had left a residual force the situation would not be what it is today. September 11 2014 (7:53am).
COULD fear of seeming racist make us shut up about child abuse? Yes, and I have a lawyer’s warning to prove it. Do not think a Rotherham could not happen here. Something like it has happened already to Aboriginal children. In Rotherham, in England’s north, 1400 children as young as 11 were raped and trafficked by mainly Pakistani gangs. Just as shocking, as a formal report last month revealed, is that many in authority were too scared to speak out. “Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to,” the report notes.
But here, too, we have a culture of “political correctness” that stops our ears and mouths. We even have laws that stifle the debate we need if children are to be saved. When I first wrote here about the Rotherham case I wanted to include a single sentence about linking problems in Aboriginal communities to Aboriginal culture. The paper’s lawyers had that sentence taken out, because such “a bare assertion can get us into trouble” under the Racial Discrimination Act, which frowns on such “offensive” statements. True, we can still discuss these issues if we include lots of detail, without mistakes. Just last weekend The Australian revealed extensive evidence of horrific child sexual abuse in remote South Australian settlements.
But the legal danger just helps to stifle one of the most important social questions facing us: is Aboriginal culture hurting too many children and women? (.) September 11 2014 (7:53am). I fear Bill Shorten may just about have demagogued us out of one of the best options we have for providing for the security of this nation. Up until this week, Shorten had been a very responsible opposition leader on national security. But to so irresponsibly demonise the possibility that the Abbott government could consider buying submarines from Japan has done real damage to our national interests.
This is the reality that Shorten is ranting against: Probably we could buy a fleet of subs from Japan for $20 billion whereas we would spend $40bn, or probably quite a bit more, to build the subs ourselves and we would certainly be building subs inferior to those of Japan. It is not absolutely clear that there would be that many fewer jobs for Australia with a Japanese sub. We would probably have twice as many subs, or have them in half the time, if we went with the Japanese option. September 11 2014 (7:10am).
The fact is that we’re one of the few muggins prepared to settle boat people, so the choice is between letting those at Manus Island rot in detention or forcing them home. Or there’s Scott Morrison’s inevitable compromise - which risks sending a signal to the people smugglers: HUNDREDS of asylum-seekers who arrived in the first six months of the Papua New Guinea resettlement deal, announced in the final days of the Rudd government,. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison.
said he remained “confident” of concluding resettlement talks with PNG, despite “difficult and frustrating problems” that have led the country’s cabinet to delay the proposal for months In what Labor called a “monumental backflip”, Mr Morrison said asylum-seekers who arrived between July 19 and December 31 last year might be allowed to live in Australia once Howard-era TPVs were reintroduced. “For us, it is about outlining the space where we can have a discussion with the crossbenchers.
But the bottom line for the government is that TPVs must be restored,” Mr Morrison said. Unlike permanent visas, TPVs expired every three years, allowing the government to reconsider whether the refugees still needed protection. A further compromise should be possible to secure the votes for the TPVs. It should be possible to agree that after, say, six years here with no possibility of return that a TPV becomes a permanent one. September 11 2014 (7:02am).
Many of us might be tempted to agree, were it not for the obligation we have to take them back: Wissam Haddad, head of the al-Risalah Islamic Centre considered a hub of extremist preaching in Sydney, dismissed the prospect of an imminent terror attack. He said if the government was truly concerned about angry, young men attacking Australian targets, it would.
“The guys that are there don’t ever want to come back,” Mr Haddad told The Australian. He said many young men in his circle yearned to leave Australia permanently. And again the implied threat, illustrating how multi-cultural societies risk having foreign conflicts spread to their own streets: “Look at Australia’s foreign policy in regards to Iraq. You’re going to be angering a lot of people. It’s the government itself that are creating the problem.’’ And indeed: The Australian has been told that, while authorities are unaware of extremists a bomb,. The plans are considered serious enough to justify raising the terror alert level from medium to high, meaning an attack is likely. Among those of concern are alleged Muslim extremists whose hopes of joining Islamic State, the terrorist army that has captured swathes of Syria and northern Iraq, slaughtering thousands, have been thwarted by ASIO, which recommended their passports be cancelled as part of a campaign to ground would-be foreign fighters.
The fact is, as counterterrorism academic, there are now too-many wanna-be jihadists for ASIO to properly monitor them all: The reality is that to do a proper monitoring job of a person, you would have to follow them, see what they do and that would require at least two surveillance teams cause you’d have to work round the clock. Now this is absolutely impossible when you’re talking about these amount of numbers. So the only monitoring that they can do will be, I guess, things like social media and phones. It is a disgrace that our government continues to provide both moral and military support to these terrorists, in contravention of every convention of human rights and the rules of war. This is particularly agregious in light of our knowledge that many of these fighters are aligned with al Qaeda, our openly proclaimed enemy, and one of the organizations on our State Department list of terrorist organizations. I can't like this, but will share it.

'We have met the enemy and they are ours,” proclaimed U.S. Naval leader Oliver Perry after the victory. On the bicentennial of the Battle of Lake Erie, look back on one of the most consequential showdowns of the War of 1812. Here was sovereignty.
Impatient spirits may fret and fume, because they are not called to the highest places in the ministry; but reader be it thine to rejoice that Jesus calleth whom he wills. If he shall leave me to be a doorkeeper in his house, I will cheerfully bless him for his grace in permitting me to do anything in his service. The call of Christ's servants comes from above. Jesus stands on the mountain, evermore above the world in holiness, earnestness, love and power. Those whom he calls must go up the mountain to him, they must seek to rise to his level by living in constant communion with him.
They may not be able to mount to classic honours, or attain scholastic eminence, but they must like Moses go up into the mount of God and have familiar intercourse with the unseen God, or they will never be fitted to proclaim the gospel of peace. Jesus went apart to hold high fellowship with the Father, and we must enter into the same divine companionship if we would bless our fellowmen. No wonder that the apostles were clothed with power when they came down fresh from the mountain where Jesus was.
This morning we must endeavour to ascend the mount of communion, that there we may be ordained to the lifework for which we are set apart. Let us not see the face of man today till we have seen Jesus. Time spent with him is laid out at blessed interest. We too shall cast out devils and work wonders if we go down into the world girded with that divine energy which Christ alone can give. It is of no use going to the Lord's battle till we are armed with heavenly weapons.
We must see Jesus, this is essential. At the mercy-seat we will linger till he shall manifest himself unto us as he doth not unto the world, and until we can truthfully say, 'We were with him in the Holy Mount.' While preparing the present volume, this particular expression recurred to me so frequently, that in order to be rid of its constant importunity I determined to give a page to it. The evening wolf, infuriated by a day of hunger, was fiercer and more ravenous than he would have been in the morning. May not the furious creature represent our doubts and fears after a day of distraction of mind, losses in business, and perhaps ungenerous tauntings from our fellow men? How our thoughts howl in our ears, 'Where is now thy God?' How voracious and greedy they are, swallowing up all suggestions of comfort, and remaining as hungry as before.
Great Shepherd, slay these evening wolves, and bid thy sheep lie down in green pastures, undisturbed by insatiable unbelief. How like are the fiends of hell to evening wolves, for when the flock of Christ are in a cloudy and dark day, and their sun seems going down, they hasten to tear and to devour. They will scarcely attack the Christian in the daylight of faith, but in the gloom of soul conflict they fall upon him.
O thou who hast laid down thy life for the sheep, preserve them from the fangs of the wolf. 1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? 2 At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; 3 beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud: 4 'To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it. 6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. 7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. 8 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge. 10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
I'm looking to make contact with those who might use my skill. I have an m-audio mobile pre amp fed by the audiotechnica 2041sp condensor mic pack.
Prior to 15/4/06, I'd used a Shure sm-58 that required a nuclear blast to register a sound or the internal mic of my aged imac, which has a penchance to recording my breathing. I also used a Griffin itrip, until the community convinced me it was not hiding my talent as well as the other mics. I am a Writer and an occasional Math Teacher (Sir, what's the occasion?).
I like to sing, having no instrumental talent (cannot even clap in time, and yes, I'm aware singing badly IS obnoxious). I have performed the finale to Les Miserables before an audience of 500.
I have also sung before a similar audience (students, parents) renditions of 'I Will' (Beatles), 'Mr Cairo' (Jon Vangelis) and 'I am Australian' (Seekers). Now I seek another profession because the audience hates me. Ignore my politics, the media does.
