Snowden, the Falcon and Hawke - Australia's political secrets
What Christopher Boyce had to say about the removal of Whitlam and CIA infiltration of the Australian Union Movement at the time of Bob Hawke was surprising to hear, but not surprising. A remarkably well-chosen subject by Mark Davis, who filmed and interviewed Boyce. After Boyce there was an interview with Snowden, by Hubert Seipel (Snowden Speaks at http://www.sbs.com.au/dateline/story/about/id/601800/n/Snowden-Speaks), which was a fantastic continuation. Christopher Boyce said, several times, that he was astounded at how Australians did not seem to want to stand up for themselves. We have recently had many comments about why 'Babyboomers' have let our country be overpopulated and peoples' rights be so diminished. My argument has been that our system disorganises citizens, geographically and through wedge politics. I would also like to draw peoples' attention, again, to the mysteriously important role of the Multicultural Foundation of Australia, which has connections that seem to utterly surpass its apparent significance. This foundation was begun by Bob Hawke whom Christopher Boyce clearly believed to be one of the principle political figures who worked for the CIA to corrupt the Australian trade union. (Hawke declined the opportunity to refute Boyce's allegation in an interview.) Since then, nearly every past and present opposition leader and prime minister of Australia has become a member. The site tag for the MFA is here (http://188.95.51.122/?q=taxonomy/term/1180 or https://188.95.51.122/?q=taxonomy/term/1180).

Prosperity from immigration, multiculturalism, decentalisation
Those threatened invasion of cultures are insecure about their own
Multiculturalism includes the historical Australian identity. If anyone is threatened by the invasion of cultures, it is only because of insecurity about your own. Although to some it is a shame that this could not develop in isolation, to others, the 'multi' part is just as, if not more, interesting and exciting. It has given us great food, entertainment, opened our eyes to the world, built our infrastructure, such as the Snowy Mountains Scheme, improved our overall wealth, which can only be created through labour, nothing else can produce wealth, and I see it as the way forward to strengthen, enrich and grow this nation so that it is able to stand tall in the international arena and defend itself adequately on the economic and security front.
The failure is not multiculturalism, but government. Government has not taken the opportunity afforded it by people wanting to migrate here to open up new centres of growth and development particularly in the rich northern latitudes of this great continent. The consequent overpopulation of its major cities from migration as a result and the negative consequences of this lays not at the feet of the migration policy itself but at the governments failure at decentralization.
Decentralization, growth and development can be successful only with mass migration. If they are worried about loss of cultural identity. Simple, allow in more people from Britain, USA, New Zealand. The queues from those countries alone is endless.

It's like religion, not a policy, a belief
It is prevalent in Europe. Multiculturalism is an 'after the fact' idea and governments do have policies for promoting it.
It didn't get enacted with a popular vote, or consensus, but rather was put into motion, and then when sold as an inevitability, the state coerced people to go along.
It is like war IMHO. Governments go to war for various geo-political reasons, but the soldiers and people don't understand these, so they have to invent 'simple' reasons for the rubes to go along. Those who do are 'patriots' and 'tolerant', those who are skeptical are 'traitors' or 'bigots'.

Complicity by Carr & Rudd in US wars should be no surprise
Those who had watched Christopher Boyce being interviewed by Mark Davis in The Falcon Lands on SBS's Lateline last Tuesday should not be surprised that Bob Car and Kevin Rudd were complicit in the 2011 invasion of Libya and in the ongoing terrorist war against Syria in which 130,000 have died.
A brief summary of The Falcon Lands and discussion can be found in the article on SBS Dateline: Christopher Boyce blows whistle on CIA corruption of Australian democracy, Labor Party & trade union movement (18 Feb 2014). The link to the Iview page on which it can still be watched is on that page.
Also (as comments are now closed on the last Monday Message Board of 3 February, can I say here) those who would like to help Anne-Lousie Lambert, who played Miranda in the 1975 Australian Classic film Picnic at Hanging Rock, save the set of that film from destruction by property developers, please attend the protest tommorrow beginning at 11 AM. There will be music all day. Details can be found on the story aty the top of my home page at candobetter.net.

Russia and China no less criminal than the United States?
Iconoclast #comment-221729">@#43 wrote:
Thank you.
Iconoclast continued:
Could you provide examples of the criminality of the Russian and Chinese Governments?
Were you aware that the Russian Government, including President Vladimir Putin, was democratically elected? Were you aware that Russia has a free press that is far more truthful than the war propagandists and corruption denialists in the Fairfax media, the ABC, the SBS, the Murdoch Press?
For some time now, it has been understood by people, who are put themselves to the trouble of discovering the truth, that if you want to know, let alone understand, what is going on in Venezuela, Syria, the Ukraine, Bahrain, etc., that you are wasting your time watching CBS, the BBC, etc. To find out what is happening there, go to sites such as "Russia Today" (rt.com) and the Iranian PressTV (presstv.ir) etc.
If you can find examples of dishonest reporting on any of those web-sites, please feel welcome to provide examples here or on my web-site.

Can't you see that it had not been for some "bad persons" "wielding weapons" Syria would have been leveled by the United States and its allies last year with a death toll approaching that suffered by Iraq and its people would now be living under Sharia law?

Objects to Russia defending itself against Chechen terrorists?
I note that ikonoclast's latest post (#comment-221886">@#5) addresses almost none of the content of my latest post (#comment-221816">@#3)
Ikonoklast, if you would prefer that I continue in this discussion with you, you should address my arguments and supporting evidence. Why not start with what I wrote in #comment-221732">#44 on page 1. Either show me why I am wrong or else acknowledge that what I have posted is correct.
Ikonoklast #comment-221886">wrote:
You realise that the Boston marathon bombers were Chechen terrorists and that the FBI failed to act on warnings given to them by Russian intelligence that Chechen terrorists preparing to bomb the Boston Marathon? Anyway, feel most welcome to explain how you know that justice lies with the cause of such terrorists and not with the Russians and their regional allies in the Caucasus.

As I explained above President Vladimir Putin was democratically elected. He was elected with a far higher margin than war criminal Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush.

Presumably, you would also have objected to the violence with which the young Australian 'hot-heads' on the Kokoda Track and at Milne Bay met the violence of the Japanese invaders in 1942? If you took the time to look at the facts about Syria, you would know that Syrian soldiers are no less defending their country against invasion by a cruel and viscious enemy than were Australians in New Guinea in 1942.
