Brisbane to protest HoWARd at charity function

Australia: Brisbane activists and concerned citizens will protest John Howard at his attendance at a charity ball this Wednesday, November 9th. The man who banned the word 'hypocrite' in parliament will be attending a gala fundraising dinner event for Rosies this week in Brisbane.

Rosies is a charity organisation that gives aid to homeless people on the streets of Australia's cities. It doesn't take a brain-surgeon to figure out that Howard's polices on social services reform are probably contributing to increased need for the services of charities like Rosies. (Part of Howards' privatisation of everything)

Howard will be joined at the dinner event by retired head of the Australian Armed Forces, Peter Cosgrove.

Brisbane people will be turning out to greet the PM on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm on the steps of the Brisbane Convention Centre (Rydges Hotel end).

If you're in Brisbane and would like to let the PM know what you think about his IR reforms, treatment of refugees, social services reforms, terror laws, destruction of the environment, pro-nuclear stance or the myriad other anti-social things Howard and his government has done: Join us! Let him always be reminded that we know his government is founded on lies: WMD lies, children overboard lies, terror lies.

Government is meant to serve the people, not the other way around.

*****Protest the PM: John Howard visits Brisbane Wednesday Nov 9 . Gather 6pm outside the Brisbane Convention Centre cnr Glenelg and Merrivale Strs.South Brisbane.

By peace now! 7 November 05

Constitution: Defending Against State Terror and Despots
Australia has no major laws that are not derivatives of English Law and all of our major laws rely on British court precedents for interpretation and implementation. These laws and our Constitutional Monarchy system create a situation where, even if Howard and all State Premiers vote unanimously on the Anti-Terrorist laws, and every ALP/Dem/Lib/Nat/Green party hack also votes unanimously on their laws, and even if such laws are given Royal Assent, those laws are still void.

Open Letter to Australian Senate
Every West Australian needs to take note of the proposed terror legislation that will be debated in the Senate next Tuesday.

SPEECH AT "STOP THE WAR COALITION" RALLY

SPEECH AT "STOP THE WAR COALITION" RALLY, CITY WALK FOUNTAIN, CANBERRA CITY, 12.30 pm SUNDAY 6 NOVEMBER 2005 - Tony Kevin.

TK: Several hundred people gathered in Canberra City on 5 November 2005 as part of a nationwide series of weekend rallies on the themes: Defend Civil Liberties, Defend Muslims, Troops out of Iraq.

I spoke along with Neil Mudford (National Tertiary Education Union), Mohammed Berjaoui (Canberra Islamic Society), Wayne Berry (ACT ALP Member of Legislative Assembly), Deb Foskey (ACT Greens MLA), and Rick Kuhn (ACT NOW):

What I have to say today is simple:

1. We have no reason to trust John Howard, given his record for deceit and gross abuse of human rights.


2. John Howard and his cronies created the climate of fear and anxiety we live in in Australia today.


The first point is self-evident.

On the second point: It's nonsense to say, as Howard says, that our invasion of Iraq in 2003 made no difference. It made all the difference.

Howard and Ruddock say that our help to the people of East Timor evoked Islamic anger. That is a lie. There were passing references to Australia somewhere in a Bin Laden speech in 2000. It would have been a forgotten footnote in history. [ And lost just like Bin Laden?]

When Australia joined the invasion of Afghanistan after the [false flag] September 11 2001, Taliban and Al Qaeda hardly noticed we were there. Some idiot Australian journalist jumped up and down at a press conference in Pakistan, begging the Taliban Foreign Minister to please threaten us too. Finally, out of politeness, he agreed.

Still none of this meant anything much, until our criminal invasion of Iraq in March 2003. The Australian people knew this was a turning point, which is why a million of us marched to try and stop it. We failed, because Howard doesn't give a fig for democracy. To him, we were just "the mob".

Howard says that because the Bali bombings in October 2002 preceded the Iraq invasion, this proves the invasion made no difference. That is nonsense too: because it was well known long before October 2002 that Howard intended to take Australian troops into Iraq. He'd been speculating about this since early 2002, and in July senior ADF officers were already in the US helping General Tommy Franks draft the battle plan. It was all over the press during 2002.
[And Bali was a CIA assisted false flag operation and a call to arms for Iraq.]

Why don't our media recall this factual history now? Why don't they call Howard's lies on this ?

So, at every step of the way, the little Crusader trumpeted and ramped up his hostility to the Islamic world. And he took Australia with him, into dangerous places. Howard is the greatest threat to our peace and security in Australia today - with Beazley bobbing along obediently behind him.

These two men are agents provocateurs - they are agents of provocation. Everything they have said since the [false flag] London bombings these past six months is calculated to distress, to humiliate, to threaten, and to destabilize Australia's vulnerable Islamic communities.

Howard and Beazley just love their new theme of "homegrown terrorists" - "people who seem to be pretty much like the rest of us, but deep down hate us". What a guaranteed way to generate fear and prejudice, to rip our society apart. These two men have no civic wisdom and no generosity. They are spoilers.

Let me share a secret with you. Howard and Beazley both profoundly wish an Islamist terrorist event in Australia to happen. Because that is the only thing that might retrospectively "justify" the damage they have already done to our precious civil liberties, their reckless warmongering, their fomenting of community fear and straining of intercommunal harmony, their creation of feelings of exclusion and insecurity in our Australian Muslim communities.

Look at the record: Beazley's contemptible proposal that the state needs new powers to "lock down" neighbourhoods at risk: anyone for the Warsaw Ghetto ? The Lakemba or Coburg ghettoes ?

Howard, sooling two of his nastiest MPs as attack dogs onto helpless Muslim teenage schoolgirls, with their hateful campaign to ban headscarves in state schools. It was only when Petro Georgiou called that nasty proposal for what it was, that Howard hastily backed away, saying "Oh No, it wasn't my view".

We have probably this week passed the point of no return towards a national security police state. One doesn't recognize these thresholds until much later - the Germans found that out in the 1930s - and one looks back and says - "Ah, then was the time we should have made our stand".

Australia passed that point this week when six premiers and then the Parliament agreed to debate a slightly modified version of the terror law. Our Parliament should have heeded Jon Stanhope, Malcolm Fraser, Terry O'Gorman, Alastair Nicholson, and all the other lawyers and former judges who spoke out bravely over the past month.

Our Houses of Parliament should have exercised a conscience vote and thrown out this bad law. Our Parliament failed us this week.

In a few weeks, we will no longer have the protection of law for rights of free expression which we used to take for granted.

I will go to jail, if I have to, under this law: not for anything to do with terrorism, but for accusing this government of being a criminal regime. I've done that for some time now. It will surely count as sedition and sowing disaffection, under this new law ?

If the Howard authorities take no steps to send me to jail, it will prove that we are no longer a society based on law but on the selective, politically convenient application of law. It will prove that they will only prosecute those they choose to prosecute. This is not the rule of law - it is tyranny.

I will go on saying such seditious things as this: That our state's military participation in the illegal invasion of Iraq and in the subsequent criminal destruction of Fallujah, a city of 250,000 people, were criminal acts.

That our state's conduct of the Operation Relex border protection campaign and its covert people smuggling disruption program in Indonesia in 2001 were criminal acts, which may have contributed to large numbers of deaths on SIEV X and other asylum-seeker boats.

That our state's mistreatment of people detained for long periods in Australian camps and in Nauru and Manus were criminal acts. That our state's neglect of its duty of care to Australian holidaymakers in Bali in 2002, in withholding relevant threat intelligence from them, was criminal negligence. [Complicity in a false flag operation by the CIA.]

I will go on saying that John Howard has intimidated or corrupted most of our public institutions - our federal public service, our federal police, our defence force, our big media. A fish rots from the head, and when I observe the operations of the senior executives of these organizations, I smell the rot.

Only our judiciary and a tiny embattled band of courageous MPs and Senators across party lines now stand between Howard and total power.

I will go on saying all these things, because they are true. If saying them sends me to jail, the Australian people may finally see these laws for what they are - Orwellian laws against Thoughtcrimes.

I know I won't be alone in jail; there will be many good Australians there with me.

I say this especially to our Muslim compatriots and friends. These are terrible times for you. But please, do not be goaded by this man. Do not give him and Beazley the vindication of a terrorist event.

Let us wage this fight to restore our multicultural democracy, but always by peaceful means. We may need martyrs to this cause - people like Mandela, Gandhi, Solzhenitsyn - but we must not see any acts of anti-government violence. Howard wants that. We don't.

Decent words and decent values are our weapons. By our courage, we will show the people what a power-hungry and divisive coward this man is.

There are people of decency and courage on both sides of Parliament, and I include here the independent MPs and the Greens and Democrat Senators. We are inspired by them. But the two major parliamentary parties, as parties, have badly let us down last week.
We have to fight for our democracy here now, outside Parliament. It will take real courage - we will be tested as never before. It is down to us now.

Pentridge Prison Memorial

*Ricky Morris* 29/10/2005-18 Years Later "Thinking Of You And Missing You" Gone But Never Forgotten.

It all started back in May-05 when I decided to do a website on the memory of my brother 'Ricky' and that's when it all began for myself a journey I never imagined. From that date forward to this I have received a lot of information and spoken to all sorts of people from high up to general people whom either knew nothing or some that knew it all.

Today I still speak to a few who have supported me through this journey, without them I'm not sure where I would be today with all of this. Some say "go get them Cheryle" some just show there sympathy for all that has happened and wish me well with it all.

Its been a hard road after 18yrs, I bring all this memory up for some people and for myself I learn the truth about my brothers death, hard yes, heartbreaking yes, pissed off yes, lots of looking back at the early days when Ricky was inside I use to think "what could I have done to make it all different"?

And there has been lots of "If only I did this or done that" but as I have learnt now I cannot blame myself for the time I couldn't be there for him. Lots of issue's raised their ugly heads but I have had to deal with them one by one during this time. I after all this time can see a bit clearer and now all I can say is I have to move forward and fight for what Ricky would have wanted and get out of my sad-anger stage.

Grieving is one of the hardest things I've have had to go through and in this case really hard as a lot of things didn't add up, corruption within the system, so many lies and yet still looking for answers to all of this shit. I guess I have received the answers but they weren't the ones I was looking for.

When I started all this I went full forward and not to mention at high speed. I contacted so many people and received so much information it was a great help, but some wouldn't tell as they are still in the system today, although a couple gave me some info that was enlightening. A few that were on the inside at the time contacted me and either sent their wishes whilst others just bragged about there time there and it followed with the typical macho stuff, some I contacted were rude and didn't want any part of it (this showed me who the real dogs were).

I came to accept that it was a hard thing to drag up after so long and to some it was an horrific time and their avoidance in this matter was okay to be left until - if they ever felt comfortable to get back to me with anything, I wont hold my breath.

3 months into this I went bang and hit a wall I was so full of anger and hatred towards the system it wasn't a nice feeling. I was so angry with Robert Wright for starting the protest, I was so sad and in pain as I learnt what my brother had been going through and had been through whilst on the inside... Dirty mongrel screws I hope they suffer today for what they had done back then. I say this to the negative ones who were actually in the unit on the day but then again I say it to any screw who mistreated any prisoners back in the Pentridge, Jika-Jika days "any prison actually".

As sad as it is there were some that had committed suicide or became drunks or just left the system after the Fires back in "87". Those who were there and played their part the best they could no longer stand that dreaded day, tormenting their head. Along another line I have learnt that not all are the same, there a few and far between whom really did the job.

On a positive note, some were around but they had to keep their mouth shut in order to keep their jobs, a few have said to me "it should not have happened Ricky shouldn't have been in such a unit" but as usual there is always one story after another, lies-truth-fear-regret-and lots of sorry's.

Somehow I will get the summary of the 'coroners inquest' files added to my site for all to read if you haven't read it yet. I need to do it in a PDF file this I will do, just not sure when.

I have done a few pages of a journal from prisoners that they did back in '88'. Oh, and there is some truth in that. Once completed, I have 7 pages to type out and shall add it to my site as well.

It's been a difficult past 6 months for me, as a person who suffers with depression I could only imagine what I have endured with all of this. Thank you to all who have supported me and whom are still here with me today to help me get to the end of my journey. Credits are in my thank you page.

Where am I going with it all? Well after having a meeting with a fellow friend whom is going to help me and contacts he has, *we have a plan* its going to take a bit and a few walls to break through. The system can forget that day as much as they want but hey "I WONT!"

The day it will all come alive will be the 29-10-07, this will be the 20yr anniversary.

Please be sure to drop in to my guest book and remember all those who lost their life on this day back in '87'. For Ricky he never got to spend his 18th birthday outside so please help me by acknowledging him on Saturday 29th October for the 18th yr of his death.

Time of deaths 4.15 to 4.35... R.I.P

I will be adding more please keep checking back or send me your email addy and I'll inform you of updates as they come..

The government avoided the hearing by bringing prisoners' mobile polling booths forward. We pursued it after the election. This is the report.

No Safe Place
In a brief four month span from August 1999, five men died in Tasmania's Risdon prison. Their deaths have put the state's corrections system in the dock and led to the planned demolition of a jail which even the State's Attorney-General now calls an "appalling facility".

In the summer months, heat generated from the tin roofing over the exercise yards makes the yard so hot, normal use is avoided.

Police drivers sneer at the rules

NSW police involved in high-speed car pursuits have lied, ignored commands to stop and switched radio frequencies to dodge official supervision while taking part in chases, internal service documents reveal.

Some area commanders ignored NSW Police's own state pursuit management committee when it asked them to "please explain" the action of seemingly out-of-control officers, according to letters and memos obtained under freedom of information laws. The former deputy commissioner Dave Madden told area commanders a year ago he was "extremely concerned" about lack of supervision of pursuits.

This was just before an investigation revealed that 54 people - including nine passers-by and two police officers - had died in the previous 10 years as a result of NSW police pursuits.

While Mr Madden refused to comment a memo and an email show he called for "every police officer to consider their driving behaviour" in the light of deaths, injury and property damage caused by pursuits.

"Too often, pursuit and urgent-duty driving occurs without involvement of supervisors and/or duty officers," he wrote as he introduced a regular review of radio tapes to crack down on police not complying with policy.

The deaths of at least 62 people have been linked to NSW police pursuits in the past 11 years. Some police have flouted the service driving policy for years, while their managers apparently turned a blind eye, the documents reveal.

Four years ago the state pursuit management committee chairman, Inspector Ron Dorrough, told area commanders the commissioner wanted to curb "the increased and at times flagrant disregard" for the service's safe driving policy.

Police in the field were providing information about high-speed pursuits and collisions so inaccurate or false that it was fraudulent, Inspector Alan Champion, an internal affairs detective, told his fellow committee members in May 1999.

Field commanders and managers were allowing this to happen, he said in a memo. "Under the edict of remaining operational and 'catching the crooks' they are condoning what cannot be tolerated," he said.

In 1997 the committee heard that some police "were not reporting pursuits to avoid being terminated by the duty operations inspector or supervisor". The senior driver in one chase directed all vehicles behind him to end the pursuit.

Even though they included caged trucks that are not allowed to give chase, the drivers did not obey.

The following year the committee heard that a local area commander refused to downgrade a police driver with a gold licence to silver after being involved in five collisions over two years.

In 1999 the committee was told that police in some cases did not answer radio operators, failed to give information to those supervising the pursuit when asked and were "providing untruthful information".

It was also told of cases where supervisors terminated pursuits, but police kept the offending vehicle "in sight" - meaning they had disobeyed orders.

In 2002 Sergeant Stephen Geaney, of the Sydney Communications Centre, reported that on several times the information that police involved in pursuits entered into a computerised system "differed dramatically" to the information they gave radio operators during the course of the chase.

Committee minutes last November show its members were still concerned about a "general lack of knowledge on the Safe Driving Policy police-wide".

The NSW Police Association's Mick Hilder noted some local area commands were adopting the policy while others were not.

Inspector John Hartley, the traffic services branch commander, was still writing "please explain" letters to local area commanders about individual pursuits failing to comply with the safe driving policy.

He said yesterday that a policy review had found panels overseeing safe driving "were not operating robustly enough".

Local area and region commanders now had to be more accountable to safe-driver committees. "Access to non-recorded channels has been restricted, which means that police no longer have the ability to broadcast local transmissions including police pursuits that would avoid detection of VKG [police radio operations]," he said.

All the alleged terrorists are Muslims

Police aware of terrorist cells: Keelty?

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) commissioner mick keelty, a well know propagandist and liar, now claims that 60 Islamic extremists are operating in Australia and they are not news to the police and intelligence agencies.

But that's news to the intelligent community. So why doesn't he put up or shut up?

Once again, why should the community believe this without any proof? I know, because the misinformation and disinformation came from a government source.

But unfortunately this government source lies to us, so show us the proof. Otherwise, what mick keelty wants the community to believe is misinformation or disinformation.

But why does the police commissioner lie to us? Because he thinks that if he spreads misinformation, disinformation or propaganda then that will discourage anyone thinking about terrorising the government? Or to pretend that the governments participation in an illegal and degrading war, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people didn't offend anyone! Or to keep on killing the innocent in Afghanistan? Or all of the above?

hoWARd, ruddock, ellison, keelty and news ltd plotted chaos

keelty says former senior ASIO officer, michael roach, is roughly correct in his count of extremists in Australia but he doesn't say that is what he is depending on to have the community swallow the story or if in fact he help plant the disinformation in the first place.

keelty: "It's something that's not news to the intelligence community and the AFP," keelty said.

But it's something that is news to the community so can you prove it?

keelty: "We've been aware for some time roughly the number of people who have trained overseas and they've been the focus of the attention of both ASIO and the AFP and also the state police in our joint operations."

Joint fishing expeditions more like it!

Houses raided over 'possible' political attack plans?

So who are we looking for? We need a description or a list, so 'if we see something' 'we can say something' but we can't see anything, because keelty won't share any information with us, so then we'll know what to look for and where to look for it?

The commissioner says prosecutions made by the police against extremists make it self-evident that terrorist cells exist.

Who? Jack Roach who wanted attention and spoke to the AFP? Because he wanted to say something only to learn that he gave himself up to the AFP under new anti-terror provisions that have no real basis at law! Jack Roach who couldn't run a second-hand shop let alone bomb anything?

A stitch in time saves nine?

So let me see? Who else is on keelty's list? Ah, no one! So on the basis that he found one man guilty and has alleged on countless occasions others are suspected and the fact that the authorities changed the law to suit themselves, then what keelty is purporting is misinformation or at least disinformation.

keelty: "I don't want to affect current efforts before courts but we have slowly been working through these different entities and some of these people are in fact charged under the new legislation and are before the courts," he said.

"Certainly there are others out there who remain the focus of our attention."

Yeah! Hey Rocky let pull a hat out of my rabbit. Since when are police allowed to spread misinformation, disinformation and propaganda? And whom does it serve? The American Military Industrial Complex!

commissioner keelty says intelligence agencies are working hard to monitor the movements of those people.

Those people that he hasn't described or listed so the public can verify it and help with the investigation? Why is it a secret and how is that going to help the public 'see something' that has not been listed or verified? Are we supposed to walk around in the dark with our eyes closed because the AFP won't point to the alleged danger?

keelty: "There is various amounts of information known on each one of them but I don't want to go into the detail of any of that and affect the security or the integrity of the operations," he said.

Nor will it then verify whether what he says is true because that's his secret, but we'll still believe him right? Wrong! Show us the list and describe some detail keelty otherwise that is misinformation, disinformation and propaganda that only a dope would swallow. Or perhaps people too busy and just getting on with their lives. People who have no time for bullshit!

keelty: "People need to understand that this has been the focus of a number of agencies for the last couple of years. "A lot of good hard work has been put into this and we are steadily keeping on top of it."

But he has nothing to show for it accept Jack Roach?

Public help?

Cockroach has also said that potential terrorists can be thwarted and that the most important weapon against them is observant and proactive security staff and the public.

But it appears that the most appropriate weapon the government uses is misinformation, disinformation and propaganda. Why is that more important than being observant and proactive? The AFP wants to misinform or spread disinformation in the community, by not providing the dangerous information they say they have, so we can be aware of the danger? But they want the community to share information with them about danger. Why is that? Why do we pay the AFP to lie to us about danger in the community, when communication is a two-way-street? Because they don't have anything with substance to report.

Cockroach: "They need to be given a criteria as to what they should be looking for and there is a criteria," cockroach said.

Beauty? Now we're getting somewhere, show us the list and then show us your proof and then we'll follow it up.

Cockroach: "What the public needs to be looking for, what the trained officials need to be looking for, is somebody standing in the corner, somebody who's holding onto their backpack, somebody who looks really concerned and anxious."

Is that like the somebody that's on keelty's alleged list? Funny how the AFP want to hold back from the community all those alleged likely suspects, who may be holding onto bombs on their backs in the community, so the community will accidentally give up a backpacker on holidays, who can't wait to have a shit, because he's been on the bus for 10 hours.

Cockroach: "Somebody who's clean shaven or somebody wearing a vest that looks so unusual - the jumper is bulky, the vest is bulky not fit with other clothing and 'Middle Eastern' appearance."

He means an innocent Muslim on a backpacker's holiday! He certainly doesn't mean those on keelty's list otherwise we would be shown the list of alleged suspects right! Wrong.

commissioner Guilty as Sin says the AFP already relies upon considerable help from the public.

Even though the public don't rely on any considerable information from the AFP?

Guilty: "That's why we have the national hotline, the 1800 123 400, and there wouldn't be an operation that I'm aware of that we've conducted where someone hasn't used the hotline at some stage of that operation," he said.

No! We have a national hotline because john hoWARd went to an illegal and degrading war killing hundreds of thousands of innocent men women and children and people hate the hoWARd government for it!

Guilty: "It's pleasing to see that the public in Australia is aware of the potential dangers and are willing to speak up about it."

Yes: No more war! Did you hear that? No more illegal and degrading war on any sovereign nation state! Then our civil liberties can be put back in place and no one will need to be alarmed about anything accept those guilty of the war crimes who have not faced judgement!

Muslims targeted?

Cockroach also says police and other security agencies will now begin to target suspects at least partly based on their race.

But also, at least partly based on their race and religion, right, you cockroach?

Cockroach: "Unfortunately, Middle-Eastern people are going to be approached more often than not and that's just the way it goes at the moment," he said.

"We can't do anything about it. But if that person has nothing to fear, nothing to hide and is being approached politely that person, by rights, should not be concerned with that approach at all."

But people have everything to fear and everything to hide because of all the misinformation, disinformation, lies and propaganda purported by the hoWARd government and including fears about the anti-terrorist act, an Act that has reduced their civil rights and liberties.

Commissioner Guilty says police are not targeting Muslims? But that's a joke son unless he's targeting Muslim Australians.

Guilty: "One of the things that I fear is that we are marginalising the Islamic community by broadbrush stereotyping," he said.

"We are focused on the people who we are aware have trained overseas, we are focused on the people who we know have a propensity to do something wrong.

The people he won't tell anyone about, all 60 of them?

Guilty: "We're not focussed on the Islamic community.

"There are a lot of very, very good people in the Islamic community and they're the ones who, in my view, will identify where the problems are."

Really? Even when the hoWARd government itself failed to lead by example, has committed war crimes against humanity, then spreads misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and lies to cover it up?

I would be surprised if in fact that were the case at all!

Civil Liberties Reform

Guilty also says police and intelligence agencies are reviewing their counter-terrorism powers.

So now they want to take away more of the community's civil liberties because of more lies without showing the community any proof. How is that?

Guilty: "We've been discussing with the attorney-general's department some further reforms that the government might consider," he said.

But keelty will not spell out what reforms police are seeking.

"The Government deserves to hear about that policy first from the department," he said.

"But we've been looking at what we've currently got available to us and we've been looking at what has occurred in London and what might be useful for us to look at and consider."

But what has occurred in London has been the result of what has occurred in Iraq so why aren't the guilty subject to the old police powers? That is before you make up any more for the community!

Guilty: "The reality is this is a moving feast - we are challenged by different moves by the terrorist groups, by each interest group, every time they attack.

"We have to increase our understanding and we have to appropriately respond but let me say this... it's the appropriateness of the response that we have to be careful about."

But the reality is this is a moving farce - we are challenged by illegal and degrading war crimes against humanity by fascists who govern our nation, war criminals who think they can pre-emptively strike foreign nation states and then jump for joy.But instead the community is asked to suffer the consequences by having their civil liberties taken away by idiots who make claims they cannot support and who won't arrest the war criminals for their pre-emptive attacks, torture and killings. Now on top of all of that they want to lie to us.
