Krudd assured/warned us prior to the election that he was Howard lite, just slightly more hair. Why the surprise that the Gov. & bureaucracy are trundling along the same well worn ruts?
Look at the continued pursuit of Kessing the (alleged) Customs whistleblower (but not in the SMH which has never reported a word on the case). At the recent appeal against conviction, the full panoply of Gov provided two QCs whilst Kessing payed his own way.
What credence to the crocodile tears and support during Labor’s oppostion? Zilch ‘twould seem.

Mr Herbert has it about right; and well done for being the first I have seen to use the proper 11/9 format. That event was a bonanza for ‘the controllers’. I have been saying for 20+ years that terrorists and even ‘everyday’ criminals are small fry compared with the calumnies of virtually all administrations throught all history. Add to that the other large institutions should as religious bodies and now ‘the corporates’ and individual rights tend to get trampled deliberately or otherwise at every turn. It is all those very institutions that promote anomie and anger and help to produce the very behaviour we all abhor. If strongly atheistic me feels sympathy for the dreadful behaviour exhibited towards Arabs in general and Muslims in particular, we ARE in a fine mess.

I wonder whether Kevin Charles Herbert is a LIHOP (“let it happen on purpose”) or a MIHOP (“made it happen on purpose”) type conspiracist loon?

Finally, someone is talking publicly about the the true global context of 11/9.

It's taken 7 years, but hey....what does the US military industrial elite care.....they've had 7 bountiful years of gross over spending on the US annual defence budget, despite the futility of even more sophisticated weaponry in the face of asymetric war. Bush's Iraq folly was barracked into fruition by these sleazebags.

The biggest threat to Obama's Presidency, and indeed to his life, is the military industrial elite. These amoral bastards are my tip for the murder of President Kennedy.

Today, after 7 years, there is more and more certainty, that 9/11 was an inside job: it is confirmed on the `qui bono` test (who profited), through forensic evidence, eye witness reports and the way the US authorities acted, and still act. Of course, it gave a rationale for two wars, besides a `war on terror` without end, as well as a war against it`s own people. Governments around the world sensed a chance not only to prove their allegiance to the US, but also to ratchet up their control over their own population. The idea is to frighten the people, by conjuring up an `enemy`, and then present themselves as as their saviour and defender. It works nearly every time, especially before elections. Here, in Australia we have something like 20 `anti-terrorism` laws, a Howard legacy, with the Government sowing the seeds of suspicion and distrust to confuse people. Still, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but these seeds have turned against the powers-that-be. It`s surely time for that elaborately constructed `terrorism` house of cards to be blown down along with those 20 laws.
