Which Australian capital (hint: black is the new black) is a socio-environmental black hole

                     Move  over  Loch  Ness
         Enter the YARRA MONSTER!!

Population is the Elephant in the room
 
(Nobody dares admit he sees the obvious!!)

i have lived in Melbourne all my life and am sad at what, decades later, i now see
This  is  a  city  without  a  soul
Recently, my Council area, Boroondara, had a 'hard rubbish' collection. Suitcases, vaccuum cleaners, sofas, clothes, shoes, baby pools, stationery, glassware, plant pots, TV sets, CDs, computer parts, ... The waste sickened me. Much of it could be put in recycling bins but Boroondara residents, including Chinese, are too lazy. How many Earths are used up for this affluence/decadence? Doesn't anybody share possessions any more?

Melbourne is OVERPOPULATED, conceited, WASTEFUL. Indeed, to Melbourne, only Melbourne matters. The rest of the country -the rest of Victoria - can go to hell. Melburnians dare not think. That would mean dangerous. They are football mad, addicted to alcohol/coffee/poker machines (US: slots).

They're so blindly apathetic ('she'll be right, mate') that they don't even know what's happening under their noses (see Sydney Morning Herald article below). Talk about believing one's own publicity!

Melbourne is full of bored people steeped in Political Correctness (=conformity). Narcissus! These bored people can be found:

It seems OK to call Australia racist when Asia is a perfect example of racial harmony - NOT!
Fiji adopts long-term military rule as an alternative to having a Prime Minister of Indian descent. 
The Chinese have problems with the Tibetans and the Uyghurs (Uigers). The Japanese government won't give you citizenship even if you're spouse is Japanese. Indonesia restricts access to universities for Chinese, guest workers are denied citizenship in many countries eg Germany. Philipina workers in Hong Kong, Malaysia and more work 6-day weeks and are raped by Saudi Arabian hosts. Sri Lankans are used as slave labour in The Maldives. The list goes on...

Compared to discrimination in Asian nations, Australia is Eden!!

Will we allow Abbotsford Biscuits community factory close??

SOS!!

            Abbotsford  Biscuits  is...
  •   a small factory in Victoria Street in inner Melbourne
  •   a non-profit employment-creating business
  •   near to Abbotsford Breweries and unique community restaurant Lentil As Anything

           Abbotsford Biscuits  is closing
     Why are we allowing a noble enterprise to die??
     Why - especially when our Australian food industry is bleeding from foreign ownership.  
 

Please, do whatever you can to help this non-profit business.
    At the least
      ::  send this info to friends
      ::  write to AB and express your feelings  order@jss.org.au

In this increasingly worldly world, people still have some power!  (Use it or lose it, my Mum used to say)

  Melbourne Leader front-page article

  Jesuit Social Services page on Abbotsford Biscuits

  Detailed letter from CEO, Jesuit Social Services
Today i went to a SOCIOLOGY talk.  We talked about the WORLD TRADE CENTER COLLAPSE.

  i reminded the teacher that "there were other theories" about the GROUND ZERO EVENT. How well i remember being riveted to my cassette player (can anyone remember these things?) hearing accounts of the TWIN TOWERS from ALEX JONES. i was stunned for two reasons.

   #1   this was the 1st time i heard non-orthodox opinions about SEPTEMBER 11 AD200

   #2   the narrator was not from KGB/Red China slamming the land of SpringsteinWashingtonSpielbergParton,
Friedman, Osteen, Sinatra or space-junkies at NASA.  No, Alex Jones was as American as APPLE PIE!!!!

I shut the window and lowered the volume. I had to make sure that noone could hear this totally revolutionary language.  Oh, my goodness!  AMERICA PLANNED THE CRISIS!!  For an alien (ie non-American) in Australia, the 51stState of the (American) Union, listening to such freedom of speech about was incredibly dangerous and 'way, way outside the square'.

Later, at the Byron Bay Seventh Day Adventist Church Hall, my sense of sight was awakened to the WORLD TRADE CENTER probabilities.

i knew of previous CIA actions in Australia include
  #1  sacking of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1975 referred to in book/film The Falcon and the Snowman
  #2  arson of Sydney publisher holding a manuscript for exhaustive expose by Noam Chomsky on East Timor invasion. See Chomsky ET article (1999)

The film posed many possibilities. Here's what i remember -
   Three fireman suggested the building went down in a controlled demolition - floor by floor
   Planes slamming into the Towers were not commercial airliners but detonating missiles under their wings
   Jewish workers were told to not go to WTC (i thinkVanity Fair had this scoop.) and Jewish owners 
       profited from building insurance

But for me, the most telling sign of massaging public opinion revolves around the alleged Pentagon commercial airliner. Nobody, it seems, could find it!!  A perfectly round hole was made in the wall as if a missile had hit. All the CCTV cameras, including one on a petrol (gas) station were confiscated ASAP. No footage was ever released!!!!

Have you heard of  Capricorn One ??  The film relates to the Moon landing.  The USA had forged its expedition by fiming the whole event in a warehouse in the desert. The 'astronauts' deaths were faked and they were held as prisoners as they knew the truth. The scene when one escapee miraculously tastes freedom, avoids US Army helicopters and eventually arrives at his own funeral is most interesting. Could it happen??  I'm not a film junkie, but recall a Dustin Hoffman-acted film  Wag the Dog  in which there is massaging and mind control. (The book form is based on Desert Storm.) It invoves wartime propoganda. A wartime hero rapes a woman while being brought home to America as a 'hero". He is killed by the girl's father. But...the propoganda show must go on....

MIND CONTROL is big business. Lots of jobs depend on fooling YOU.  Ignore mind control, subliminal advertising, braiwashing, greenwashing... at your peril, your children's peril, etc. Read alternative information. Attend public meetings. Learn from wikipedia and other free sources of info. Kill your TV. Become Vegetarian. (ie no animal flesh whatsoever!) Avoid the HERD MENTALITY. Whatever you do, THINK!! Reduce meat, milk, eggs. (You are a torturer, and diseased.) Avoid WHITE BREAD.  Don't smoke. You don't need alcohol, either. Keep an up-to-the-minute diary of ALL your daily spending. Join a religious group. Fasting is good.

    Are we being exploited??

    This  list of  Global  100  Brands  has  just  come  out
    Also look at http://thecorporation.com/ (Buy the Video or see some of the film on youtube.)

    Ask yourself,  "Who's life is it anyway?"

Will we let Abbotsford Biscuits community factory close??
