SBS's "The Sixties" attempts to cover up JFK assassination facts
Below is a copy of a message I will be posting to James di Eugenio, author of Reclaiming Parkland (2013) and administrator of the web-site Citizens for the Truth in the Kennedy Assassination (http://ctka.net)
The first episode of "The Sixties", "The assassination of President Kennedy" screened tonight in Melbourne Australia at 8:30PM UTC +10:00. It is yet another cover-up. You might want to watch it yourself at:
http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/323839555513/The-Sixties
On the surface, The Sixties – The assassination of President Kennedy could appear to be objective and giving both sides of the story. For example, witnesses, who saw mysterious figures on the grassy knoll, around the time of the murder are interviewed, but all too briefly, in my view. Even critics of the Warren Commission, including Mark Day and the late Jim Garrison featured. At one point, one of the legendary 1960s rock musicians, whose name escapes me now—it was either David Crosby or someone like him—was interviewed and said that there was a conspiracy to murder President Kennedy.
However, apart from Mark Lane, now aged 87, not one of the other current authorities against the JFK murder conspiracy cover-up featured on the program. A quick look at, for example, ctka.net, managed by James DiEugenio would have given the producers a large number of critics of the Warren Commission, including James DiEugenio himself, who could have been approached to appear on the program, but evidently none were.
Much of the time was given to Vincent Bugliosi, author of the discredited Reclaiming History (2007) – see here and here for reviews on ctka.net. Bugliosi was permitted to ramble on at length purportedly refuting arguments put by others. Bugliosis's word was treated final as no-one, neither the credible anti-cover-up authorities omitted from the program, nor even Mark Lane, was given the chance to respond to Bugliosi. At the end the name of Jim Garrison, who, as shown in Oliver Stone's movie of 1991 JFK tried to bring the assassins to justice, was dragged through the mud using all the familiar smears.
The program concluded with its own pronouncement as to why some people won't accept the official cover-up of JFK's murder. That explanation is that such people are psychologically unable to cope with such terrible tragedy occurring only as a result of bad luck. Belief that the tragedy was the result of a conspiracy is somehow more comforting.
To the contrary, I think it is highly unlikely that anyone who has discovered the truth about JFK's murder would not prefer, instead, to be able to believe that it was just bad luck. If JFK's murder was only the result of bad luck that allowed Lee Harvey Oswald, a lone nut gunman, to murder the President of the United States, then, surely, it would have taken quite some time before another such tragedy occured? Yet in only five more years after 22 November 1962, three other outstanding American political leaders, each of whom stood for the people against corrupt vested interests, were also murdered: Malcolm X, JFK's brother Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. In the case of Martin Luther King, a jury found in a trial in 1999 that he had been murdered as a result of a conspiracy by the Army and the police force.

Australia Unleashes Draconian New Anti-Terror Law
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-25/australia-unleashes-draconian-new-anti-terror-law-orwellian-orgy-baseless-fear-monge
Understanding how the power structure thinks, and how it intentionally manipulates the emotions of the masses, is key to overcoming and rolling back totalitarian ambitions. I have spent the last few posts talking about how instilling fear throughout the general populace is one of their primary tactics. Indeed, to borrow a term from Glenn Greenwald, “fear-manufacturing” has been in overdrive across the Five Eyes nations over the past several weeks. In the UK, we saw it used to convince elderly Scots to overwhelming vote against independence, thus swaying the result decisively to the NO side. In the USA, we have seen it used to drum up support for another pointless war in the Middle East, which will benefit nobody except for the military/intelligence-industrial complex.

The proposed new 'anti-terror' laws curb our civil rights
From the same source: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-25/australia-unleashes-draconian-new-anti-terror-law-orwellian-orgy-baseless-fear-monge
Australian spies will soon have the power to monitor the entire Australian internet with just one warrant, and journalists and whistleblowers will face up to 10 years’ jail for disclosing classified information.
The government’s first tranche of tougher anti-terrorism laws, which beef up the domestic spy agency ASIO’s powers, passed the Senate 44 votes for and 12 against on Thursday night with bipartisan support from Labor.
The bill, the National Security Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2014, will now be sent to the House of Representatives, where passage is all but guaranteed on Tuesday at the earliest.
Anyone — including journalists, whistleblowers and bloggers — who “recklessly” discloses “information … [that] relates to a special intelligence operation” faces up to 10 years’ jail.
Any operation can be declared “special” and doing so gives ASIO criminal and civil immunity. Many, including lawyers and academics, have said they fear the agency will abuse this power.
Those who identify ASIO agents could also face a decade in prison under the new laws, a tenfold increase in the existing maximum penalty.
These changes have opposition support and would make it a criminal office to travel to a terrorist hot-spot without a reasonable excuse.

Mankind chomping through Nature's bounty
Australia's ecological footprint is the 13th-largest in the world - and is likely to get bigger following the repeal of the carbon tax, conservation group WWF has warned.
WWF's Living Planet Report found the demands placed on the planet are more than 50 per cent what nature can sustain. The introduction of a price on carbon was the likely cause of our country's improved ranking, but the repeal of the two-year-old carbon price scheme in July would likely see Australia go backwards in future rankings.
The new report tracks the growth or decline of more than 10,000 populations of 3038 species ranging from forest elephants to sharks, turtles and albatrosses. Humans were consuming natural resources at a rate that would require 1.5 Earths to sustain – cutting down trees faster than they mature and harvesting more fish than oceans can replace.
The report found that if the rest of the world lived like Australians, 3.6 planet's worth of natural resources would be needed to sustain the demands placed on nature. We are in serious ecological overshoot, and our growth and living standards can't be sustained, but this report simply is incomprehensible to our leaders, and general public, and business continues as usual!
Freshwater species, which have suffered a 76 per cent decline since 1970 - double that of land and marine animals. Small mammals in Australia such as bilbies, bettongs and bandicoots, which are battling predation from introduced species such as cats and foxes.
Global biodiversity suffers as humanity lives beyond its means (30/9/11) at http://www.theage.com.au/environment/global-biodiversity-suffers-as-humanity-lives-beyond-its-means-20140929-10nl6b.html
The WWF report says it expects the world’s population to exceed 9.5-billion by 2050, and half of all future population growth is expected to occur in just eight countries, six of which are in Africa.
In just 40 years as Earth's human population has nearly doubled, while there was a 39-percent drop in numbers across a representative sample of land- and sea-dwelling species. Mankind was chomping through Nature's bounty much faster than the rate of replenishment, the WWF warned.

Man will take legal action after rangers took pet kangaroos
AN Apple Tree Creek man, Colin Candy, will take legal action after 10 officers from the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection and Queensland Parks and Wildlife arrived at his home to seize five of his kangaroos. Police officers, and a vet, all came unannounced with a warrant to seize the offending animals - his red kangaroos!
He didn't have a permit to keep the kangaroos, but he insists he's doing it to rescue and protect them. "Kangaroos are treated like pariahs in their own country so I don't understand why I can't keep them. They are harmless beautiful creatures who don't come out of the bush to hurt you like tigers. I applied for a permit numerous times in the past and have only been rejected".
"Only rescue permits are given out." Plenty of permits are given out for killing the "pests", but they are not meant to be protected and secured.
Under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, there is no provision for taking or keeping kangaroos or wallabies with a view to domesticating them.
Man will take legal action after rangers took pet kangaroos
If the gates are left open and the kangaroos continue to stay in the safety of their homes, it should be their choice. On the other hand, if they leave they are likely to be victims of traffic collisions, or lethally "managed" - killed!
This action by Parks and Wildlife is not about concern for animals, but the contradictory nature of keeping what they consider to be "pest" animals that must be controlled - lethally!
In 2001, the Queensland Parks and Wildlife officers raided his home and seized his Kangaroo, Mitchell and in November the same year his beloved Marcy was taken away. Both kangaroos died shortly after being taken away.
It's a threat to have these magnificent and threatened native red kangaroos seen to be safe, domesticated and safe! They are meant to be raging wild animals, causing threats to fences, grasslands, farmers, and wreckers of our country - ready to attack or kill any intruders on their land. Having kangaroos kept by the public is a threat to the myth of kangaroos are vermin and pests, and that's not in the interests of the Queensland government.
Pam H wrote: " 'the seizure was a culmination of a long standing investigation.' They make it sound like some great drug bust operation ffs! This country is going down the toilet fast. And we're paying for it"!

4 Corners program: Edward Snowden on NSA & Silicon Valley
On Four Corners at 8:80PM AEDT Mon 6 Oct 2014, repeated 11:35PM AEDT Tue 7 Oct or watch on-line or on IView : Privacy Lost
Monday 6th October 2014
When a contractor from America's National Security Agency (NSA) downloaded tens of thousands of top-secret documents from a highly secure Government network, it led to the largest leak of classified information in history - and sparked a fierce debate over privacy, technology and democracy in the post-9/11 world.
In leaking the files, Edward Snowden had not only exposed classified information, he also exposed how the US Government had co-opted major tech companies to help it spy on millions of people in the United States and around the world - including Australians.
That surveillance did not simply mean detailing the source and destination of communication, but the communications themselves.
...
Critical appraisal: Coming from 4 Corners, which has copped out on issues like MH17, JFK, the Boston Bombing, 9/11 and most foreign conflicts, this program is surprisingly good.

Is 'OpenH264 Video Codec' causing delayed keystrokes?
We all use the internet if we read candobetter.net, so others among you may have been encountering a huge problem of delayed keystrokes - i.e., when you try to reply to emails, write emails, you have to wait for ages while Firefox deliberates for some reason. It slows down your work and causes stress. It makes you want to avoid looking at your inbox.
I went to my add-ons settings in Firefox and disabled the following program:
OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems Inc. 1.1
It seemed to solve my problem immediately. Let me know if you have a similar experience.

Melbourne is going skyhigh, as so are complaints
People are complaining because of lack of planning - and what's happening is that Melbourne and it's suburbs are being wantonly surrendered to property developers and planners for their vested interests. Behind the "population growth" is demographic engineering, or massive increases in net overseas immigration - not organic or natural reproductive rates!
Between 2000 and 2001, net overseas immigration numbers were are about 80.000. Now the numbers have soared to 241,000 permanent immigration and set to increase again next year. (not counting humanitarian intake or New Zealanders who do not require a visa).
The public are not being given any right to query the overwhelming of Melbourne by housing growth, and suburbs being forced to accept high density housing at the detriment of living standards and traditional values.
We need some real economic activities, not just a heavy reliance on the overly easy option of housing - and the downstream costs of population growth.
Any other method of stimulating our economy, apart for amassing people, would take innovation, thought, planning and intellectual capacity. Population growth, the selling off of our housing and "lifestyle", is a no-brainer and an easy option. Real economic growth requires investment in productivity, knowledge industries, and creativity, A flow of immigrants is a short-term option, one that produces cash flows but downstream accumulates massive infrastructure debts, and actually dilutes the "lifestyle" that's being promoted!
As writer Donald Horne said, "Australia is a Lucky Country, run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck".

Australia "running on empty"
An NRMA-commissioned report on the nation’s liquid fuel security, released in February, says that Australia’s liquid fuel stocks have slumped by 16 per cent in less than a year and that the country is now hurtling towards 100 per cent dependence on imported liquid fuel and oil for transport. Even our Defence Force will be relying on imported fuel.
Australia’s Liquid Fuel Security report is the second part of an inaugural study released last year and paints a bleak picture of a country which it says does not have a viable level of fuel security, or a government plan to improve the situation at a time when local refineries are closing.
According to the company, Australia now sources 90% of its crude and fuel imports for transport, up from just 60% in 2000. Even the Australian Navy is feeling the heat with news that the domestic supply of a special type of fuel will no longer be refined locally by mid-2014.
The NRMA-commissioned report on the nation’s liquid fuel security warns that Australia’s severely declining oil refining industry, and increasing demand for liquid fuels, could result in a scenario in 2030 where it has less than 20 days worth of fuel in reserve, and 100 per cent imported liquid fuel dependency. It's a threat to our nation's security. The report, updated by Jamison in 2010, proposed a series of steps to end Australia’s dependence on imported oil and secure its own transport energy future.
China, India, and other developing countries in Asia account for 72 per cent of the net world increase in liquid fuels consumption, with Middle East consumers accounting for another 13 per cent.
Twenty-eight per cent of the refining industry is set to close by the end of this year, according to report's author, retired Air Vice-Marshal Blackburn. The former deputy head of the RAAF also accused previous reviews of energy security of being purely economic. He urged the government to consider dropping barriers to the adoption of gas as vehicle fuel and to work with the refining industry to retain capacity in Australia. However, our LNG is being sold off at export prices for the overseas market!
The Reserve Our Gas coalition will not apologise for pointing out Australia is the only gas-exporting nation on earth allowing a free-for-all on the export of its gas. Australian gas prices are projected to triple over coming years as a result.
“Let me make this absolutely crystal clear: Australia is the only nation on earth allowing multinational gas companies to extract our gas - without restriction - and sell it back to us at the high global price,” AWU National Secretary and Reserve Our Gas spokesperson Mr McDine said.
Sign the petition!
According to the ABS, renewable energy extraction, which has been steadily increasing since 2008-09, decreased in 2011-12 by 15 PJ and remains at 2% of total domestic energy production. Solar energy extraction increased by 3 PJ, or 21% and hydro-electricity supply, which fluctuates according to water availability, decreased by 10 PJ, or 16%. Our government's belief in the cornucopia myth, and anti-science stance, could finally jeopardize the eternal "growth" paradigm!

War Culture
by David Swanson , first published on warisacrime.org, 23 Oct 2014
According to a book by George Williston called This Tribe of Mine: A Story of Anglo Saxon Viking Culture in America, the United States wages eternal war because of its cultural roots in the Germanic tribes that invaded, conquered, ethnically cleansed, or -- if you prefer -- liberated England before moving on to the slaughter of the Native Americans and then the Filipinos and Vietnamese and on down to the Iraqis. War advocate, former senator, and current presidential hopeful Jim Webb himself blames Scots-Irish American culture.
But most of medieval and ancient Europe engaged in war. How did Europe end up less violent than a place made violent by Europe? Williston points out that England spends dramatically less per capita on war than the United States does, yet he blames U.S. warmaking on English roots. And, of course, Scotland and Ireland are even further from U.S. militarism despite being closer to England and presumably to Scots-Irishness.
"We view the world through Viking eyes," writes Williston, "viewing those cultures that do not hoard wealth in the same fashion or make fine iron weapons as child-like and ripe for exploitation." Williston describes the passage of this culture down to us through the pilgrims, who came to Massachusetts and began killing -- and, quite frequently, beheading -- those less violent, acquisitive, or competitive than they.
Germans and French demonstrated greater respect for native peoples, Williston claims. But is that true? Including in Africa? Including in Auschwitz? Williston goes on to describe the United States taking over Spanish colonialism in the Philippines and French colonialism in Vietnam, without worrying too much about how Spain and France got there.
I'm convinced that a culture that favors war is necessary but not sufficient to make a population as warlike as the United States is now. All sorts of circumstances and opportunities are also necessary. And the culture is constantly evolving. Perhaps Williston would agree with me. His book doesn't make a clear argument and could really have been reduced to an essay if he'd left out the religion, the biology metaphors, the experiments proving telepathy or prayer, the long quotes of others, etc. Regardless, I think it's important to be clear that we can't blame our culture in the way that some choose to blame our genes. We have to blame the U.S. government, identify ourselves with humanity rather than a tribe, and work to abolish warmaking.
In this regard, it can only help that people like Williston and Webb are asking what's wrong with U.S. culture. It can be shocking to an Israeli to learn that their day of independence is referred to by Palestinians as The Catastrophe (Nakba), and to learn why. Similarly, many U.S. school children might be startled to know that some native Americans referred to George Washington as The Destroyer of Villages (Caunotaucarius). It can be difficult to appreciate how peaceful native Americans were, how many tribes did not wage war, and how many waged war in a manner more properly thought of as "war games" considering the minimal level of killing. As Williston points out, there was nothing in the Americas to compare with the Hundred Years War or the Thirty Years War or any of the endless string of wars in Europe -- which of course are themselves significantly removed in level of killing from wars of more recent years.
Williston describes various cooperative and peaceful cultures: the Hopi, the Kogi, the Amish, the Ladakh. Indeed, we should be looking for inspiration wherever we can find it. But we shouldn't imagine that changing our cultural practices in our homes will stop the Pentagon being the Pentagon. Telepathy and prayer are as likely to work out as levitating the Pentagon in protest. What we need is a culture dedicated to the vigorous nonviolent pursuit of the abolition of war.

Carnage in Nepal under the guise of "tradition"
The gory Gadhimai Mela festival is held in the remote border village of Bariyapur to honour Gadhimai, the goddess of power. In a primitive quest for elusive "power", Hindu devotees in Nepal begin slaughtering thousands of animals in a ritual sacrifice of 300,000 animals in a "festival" of carnage, violence and bloodlust!
Devotees with swords are expected to kill thousands of animals in the two days of worship, including buffaloes, goats and rats. It outrages animal activist, and condemns Nepal to savagery, ignorance and enslavement to poverty of thought and practice.
Nepal's mass animal sacrifice for Hindu festival sparks outcry
Animal rights activists accused the temple holding the festival of "cashing in on people's beliefs", and have called for it to be abolished. As for many evils and ills, money is at the root of this "power" worship!
"They are extorting money ... in the name of entry fees, parking, and so on," said Manoj Gautam, president of Animal Welfare Network Nepal, who is in Bariyapur to protest against the ritual.
The festival kicked off at midnight amid tight security, with the ceremonial killing of a goat, rat, chicken, pig and a pigeon. Worshippers on the first day were expected to sacrifice only buffaloes, thousands of which have been corralled into holding pens in a large field, before moving onto other animals.
According to legend, the first sacrifices in Bariyapur were conducted several centuries ago when Gadhimai appeared to a prisoner in a dream and asked him to establish a temple to her. When he awoke, his shackles had fallen open and he was able to leave the prison and build the temple, where he sacrificed animals to give thanks.
It is based on a 260-year-old ritual that a feudal lord dreamt up while imprisoned, but it's high time for it to end.
In keeping this great tradition, and cultural experience, the sacrificed animals have continued to grow in numbers to their thousands, and the spilt blood spreads like a sea of deprivation of compassion, ethics and slavery to human "tradition".
