This might seem horribly political and non-cp to some, but a good some of it seems on topic to me. Perhaps ignore that which you consider offtopic. --- "A man, who has in mind an apparent advantage and promptly proceeds to dissociate this from the question of what is right, shows himself to be mistaken and immoral. Such a standpoint is the parent of assassinations, poisonings, forged wills, thefts, malversations of public money, and the ruinous exploitation of provincials and Roman citizens alike. Another result is passionate desire – desire for excessive wealth, for un-endurable tyranny, and ultimately for the despotic seizure of free states. These desires are the most horrible and repulsive things imaginable. The perverted intelligences of men, who are animated by such feelings, are competent to understand the material rewards, but not the penalties. I do not mean penalties established by law, for these they often escape. I mean the most terrible of all punishments: their own degradation." Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) --- I view the Australia of today as that of pre-war Nazi Germany; the truth is 'verboten' (forbidden). Political correctness rules the roost, truth suppressed. When the absolutes of right and wrong, truth and lies are abolished, usurped by political correctness, there is no future for this country. Politically enforced Multiculturalism will be the means to its demise. When Christianity is replaced by the evil philosophy of 'Humanism", emanating from the equally evil United Nations, normality will also be replaced by abnormality. Right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right. That trend is now blatantly obvious in the society of today. Ironically passed into law by our questionable legislators. Sometime, somehow, someone will have to answer for this warped minded, reverse thinking called: political correctness. --- Federal Parliament consists of traitors and cowards on both sides. How else can one explain the state of Australia today? Those who keep silent under duress are moral cowards as in political correctness, the suppression of the truth. "Political correctness is the evident child of communism. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth. In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." (George Orwell) Political correctness defined. --- Politically enforced multiculturalism can best be described as meaningless. When your country and its people have lost their homogeneous status, your heritage and identity eliminated by un-assimable, alien races, bringing their own cultures with them, the country will become a nation of tribes, speaking many languages; meaningless. A nation can survive within its own heritage, language and culture, but not without them. The abolition of the White Australia Policy sounded the death knell for Australia. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee, Australia, it tolls for thee", genocide. --- In a court of law, a person had to swear on the Bible to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I pose the question, would the misuse of the word 'gay' be accepted as truth? Would the legislators consider that before making a decision on the issue? I consider it to be Karl Marx dialectics, "words I choose all mixed up in a devilish muddle so that anyone can choose to believe whatever they choose to believe". Discrimination for choice, racist for patriot etc., right and wrong are absolutes and no political correctness can alter that fact. I hope the legislators are cognisant of the word gay. The dictionary defines it as "light-hearted, mirthful, showy, dissolute". "Dissolute as loose living, debauched". Is that the kind of society that political correctness may impose and enforce upon the people? --- For people smugglers, read the United Nations, it is the intention of that commo dominated organisation to recolonise the world. The Humanist Manifesto is the bible of the United Nations, it states, "We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history when the best option is to transcend the limits on national sovereignty". 'Humanism' was declared to be a religion by the Supreme Court of the USA in 1961. The bible has been banned in American Courts. The United Nations Charter for World Government states: "Increasing self-denial in the exercise of sovereignty by the state, necessary for the better working of the United Nations." The evil ideology of humanism is being implemented by the UN. The United Nations Charter for World Government is based on treason. All governments that participate in its agenda, are traitors to their own people and nation. --- In Support of John Bushell, Network News, June. I quite agree with you and I also pray: Wait, wait, wait Before the golden gate, I leave behind my hate For the traitors of my state. Would I decide their fate They'd go through the other gate, Not to sit and dwell But to burn in bloody hell. Now you've heard of Guy Fawkes And his gun powder plot, I dreamt I was he And blew up the lot. --- Whatever legislators may pass into law, it must first pass my conscience, whether to accept or reject it. For my mind is my own, it does not belong to legislators. A mind that's forced against its will is of the same opinion still. We now live in an era of contradictions of 'universal deceit', where right is now wrong and wrong is now right. We also have politically appointed but unelected commissions to force this lunacy upon society. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". (Edmund Burke) Politicians who keep silent under duress are moral cowards. "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is, that you end up being governed by your inferiors". (Plato) --- The following quotations are just a few reasons why Australia, as such, is now in a state of decline and eventual genocide. Bob Hawke admitted: "That the major parties had reached an implicit pact to keep immigration off the political agenda." Deceit and collusion. He later stated: "Multiculturalism is not negotiable". So much for democracy. Malcolm Fraser re: the Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees, "I did not put it to the people because I knew that they would reject it." Al Grassby: "The White Australia Policy is dead, give me a shovel and I will bury it". These are just a few examples of a deliberate intention to destroy traditional European Australia. Manning Clarke: "I believe very strongly that we must fight for the end of the Anglo-Saxon domination of Australia". These were the preliminaries to the abolition of the White Australia Policy by Gough Whitlam; genocide of Australians. Advance Australia Where? --- Politically enforced multiculturalism can be defined in the word: MEANINGLESS. When your identity has been diluted to the extremity of genocide by the political imposition of alien races upon the host nation, Australia, then you arrive at the meaning of the word 'meaningless'. "Pour your pitchers of wine into the wide river and where is your wine? You have only the river". (Kath Walker, Aboriginal poet in 'The Dawn Is At Hand'. --- Treason = Genocide: Genocide; a word of which the official United Nations definition is: "The committing of acts with intent to destroy – wholly or in part, a national ethnic, racial or religious groups as such". The United Nations Convention of asylum seekers (illegal arrivals), is in breach of their own statement to that effect. Imposing alien races of people upon a stable, inherited, homogenous nation of people is tantamount to genocide of the host nation. Brutus, Gough Whitlam, is the architect of the 'genocide' of the Australian nation of people. Like Brutus, he stabbed White Australia in the back and instituted the policy of multiculturalism, i.e., genocide. Gough Whitlam, during his lifetime, was a Marxist Fabian (commo) as is most of the Labor Party, hiding under the Labor Party banner. Menzies wanted to ban the Communist Party in Australia; he was over-ruled by the High Court and a subsequent referendum on the matter. The Federal Governments of Whitlam and Hawke, the Commos were not under the bed, they were in it, working to destroy Australia. While representing UNESCO in Paris, Whitlam promoted the concept of UNESCO BROWN MAN. The mixing of all races of people, a race-less, stateless, faceless, brown slob, devoid of all character or heritage, the future person of the United Nations New World Order. N.B. UN quote page 23 'Travel Warrant' by Bernard Ferguson. --- Who is behind the United Nations Power Grab? A powerful network of Americans in government, business, academia and the media, have conspired to empower the United Nations. One noteworthy 'insider' is David Rockefeller – head of the super-rich family that donated the land for the UN headquarters. He told an elite group in Germany in 1991: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, whose directors have attended our meetings and respected promises of discretion – for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government." Here is a sampling of what other globalists have said: Walter Cronkite, famous CBS news anchor said: "We must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government". Strobe Talbott, former Deputy Secretary of State said: "Nationhood as we know it will be obsolete – all states will recognise a single, global authority." Colin Powell, former Secretary of State said: "With respect to US policy, when it comes to our role as a member of the Security Council of the United Nations, we obviously are bound by UN resolutions."

Privacy advocates resign over facial recognition plans
by grarpamp 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/06/16/privacy-advocates-resign-prot… Technology industry lobbyists have so thoroughly hijacked the Commerce Department process for developing a voluntary code of conduct for the use of facial recognition technology that nine privacy advocates involved withdrew in protest on Monday. “At a base minimum, people should be able to walk down a public street without fear that companies they’ve never heard of are tracking their every movement ... Unfortunately, we have been unable to obtain agreement even with that basic, specific premise. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/06/17/1931216/privacy-advocates-leave-in-p… http://cvdazzle.com/ Ever notice the shiny new door, camera and register systems at Walmart? Wonder if retail is Stingray'ing patrons IMEI's into such databases? See the boxes popping up on roadsides, cameras and antenna arrays on poles and buildings at every intersection? All the pointless info and blood you have to give? In order to simply move and live and talk? For what, exactly, in return? Disgusting. Cypherpunks... when / where will it all end?

Julian Assange: the Untold Story of an Epic Struggle for Justice

Many in the legal community in Sweden believe her behaviour inexplicable. Once implacably hostile to Assange, the Swedish press has published headlines such as: “Go to London, for God’s sake.” Why hasn’t she? More to the point, why won’t she allow the Swedish court access to hundreds of SMS messages that the police extracted from the phone of one of the two women involved in the misconduct allegations? Why won’t she hand them over to Assange’s Swedish lawyers? She says she is not legally required to do so until a formal charge is laid and she has questioned him. Then, why doesn’t she question him? And if she did question him, the conditions she would demand of him and his lawyers – that they could not challenge her – would make injustice a near certainty. "

What now after the Dallas Buyers Club pirate claim is rejected as ‘surreal’?
by Zenaan Harkness 17 Aug '15

A little sanity in the Australian courts - what a day. https://theconversation.com/what-now-after-the-dallas-buyers-club-pirate-cl… "The Court accepted that Voltage could ask for the costs of a single copy of the film and an appropriately proportioned fee to recover its legal costs so far." We have iiNet, Australia's second largest ISP, to thank for this. They have seen the economic self interest in putting some resources to establishing sane internet-related rulings. I call it "enlightened economic self interest" as it appears to be at least a step above the average corporate nature.

Why the close collaboration between NSA & AT&T matters
by Shelley 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

These recently released documents could give new life to Jewel v NSA. For years, James "I lie to Congress and get away with it" Clapper and his ilk have tried to make the EFF look like the lunatic fringe for backing the claims made in Mark Klein's testimony. The feds have managed to quash almost every investigation into their warrantless wiretapping under the tired guise of endangering national security, often with no substantive evidence; just the claim alone is enough to scare off most jurists. https://www.propublica.org/article/heres-why-the-close-collaboration-betwee… The EFF will be submitting these documents in support of Jewel v NSA. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/08/eff-claims-government-spying-atts-hel… -S
