I Am, We Are...Australians - by Andrew Bolt

Editor's Note: Andrew Bolt is a popular journalist for the Herald-Sun newspaper.

I AM an indigenous Australian. Most of you are probably indigenous, too. We were born here. We are of this land and we love it. There is nowhere else we would or even call home. We are as the Webster Dictionary describes under indigenous, "produced, growing, living or occurring naturally in a particular region."

That's US! Australians! Produced right here. Yet how often we've been insulted. At almost every Government function it's been the same. It's opened by some dignitary who tells us this country is not really ours---that we, who were born here, are in fact interlopers on the land of some traditional owners (who didn't do anything with it in the first place) we must now acknowledge.

ENOUGH! Thank heavens for Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu, who this week ruled that Government ministers would no longer be forced by political correctness to make this acknowledgment at major functions. So often we've watched a white person piously tell a room of other whites, "I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of....", well it's so toe-curling.

How terribly empty is this modish ceremony that was compounded further a few years ago by the leftist former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd saying "SORRY" to the Aboriginals over the phony "stolen generation" guilt trip. There's almost never some Aborigine, let alone a traditional one, to be encouraged by this pat on the head. It is entirely to display our superior compassion that we do it, with not even the expectation that it will do any good to anyone but ourselves. Not one Aboriginal child ever lifts their head to say thanks. Not one workless Aborigine suddenly finds himself in a job. What happened to our shining aim to judge each other as individuals, not by birth but how we can help this country be even better than it is.

The Way I See It....there's just a lot of non-Aborigines clutching their glasses of wine trying to look briefly concerned. But if this acknowledgment, now routine in our political, artistic and elitist academic classes, was merely useless I would probably not much care. But it is also RACIST and undermines our sense of being at home and part of a whole bigger than us under one flag. Thank you Andrew for giving us this renewed perspective.

To Leftists, Every Woman Looks Like a Hotel Maid

I suppose we'll know the truth when the DNA testing comes back, but close observers of privileged leftist/socialist men are not shocked by the accusations against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the socialist leader of the International Monetary Fund. (And you thought you were getting screwed by YOUR banker!) Maybe he thought I.M.F. really meant...I-f you're a M-aid, you're F-airgame.

Only in Hollywood movies are handsome polo players from nice families seen as likely rapists. In real life, they look more like the 5-foot-2-inch Roman Polanski or pudgy, unathletic Bill Clinton or now the homunculus 5-foot-3-inch Strauss-Kahn. And how could Strauss-Kahn possibly think he could get away with the violent rape of a chambermaid in a $3000-a-night hotel room, booked in his name without trying out the neighbourhood Escort Service first?

First of all, Dominique has evidently gotten away with treating the fairer sex as his playthings for some time. No wonder his nickname among the French is "le grand seducteur," which I believe roughly translates to "the short, tubby serial rapist." The New York Times reports that as far back as 2007, Brussels journalist Jean Quatreme remarked on Strauss-Kahn's troubled behaviour -- "close to harassment" toward women, saying the press knew all about it, but never mentioned it because "we are in France."

Secondly, it's not unheard of that a wealthy socialist would assume the law does not apply to him. Actually, let me restate that: Wealthy leftist/socialists always assume that laws don't apply to them. Let's take Roman Polanski, the legendary director of two good movies and about 100 unbelievably bad ones, who drugged and anally raped an underage girl in Southern California.

Not only did Polanski think he could get away with it, he did get away with it by fleeing the country (to France) when he discovered, to his shock and dismay, that in America, a person can actually be sentenced to prison for drugging and raping a 13 year old. That was in 1977. He has never been brought to justice. And oh how the socialists supported Polanski's evasion of punishment for this child's rape, especially with the Hollywood leftists denouncing his arrest in Switzerland a couple years ago...howling that he had suffered enough! He wasn't even allowed to come to the U.S. to pick up his Oscar in 2003! Maybe someone should shove it up his ass so he knows how it feels!

Here's one for you pinko historians. Karl Marx kept a female slave from the time she was 8 years old, eventually using her not only as a servant but as his mistress, never acknowledging his child with her or paying her at all. She waited on him hand and foot while he explained to the world that profit is the stolen surplus value of the laborer. Like so many leftist icons, including Henrik Ibsen, Bertrand Russell, and the "disgustingly dirty" Jean-Paul Sartre, Marx seldom bathed and left his wife and children in poverty.

The Way I See It....these socialist pond-scum seem driven by their massive insecurities (often based on physical defects, such as their diminutive size or soap allergies) to chose illiterate, servant-class and teenage females as their sex partners. No wonder leftist/socialist women think men are pigs: Their men are pigs! Right Hillary?

"Stealth Jihad" comes to Australia

Yesterday the nation's peak Muslim group, The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, used the Gillard government's re-embracing of multiculturalism to push for the introduction of Sharia law in Australia. This is the same multicultural wagon that England, France, Denmark and Germany have stopped pushing, explaining in the strongest terms that IT'S NOT WORKING. The rest on the European countries are also leaning toward a selective immigration policy, but our Immigration Minister Chris Bowen naively says everything's fine in OZ; "bring'em In!". Did he ever hear of the Trojan Horse?

In a newspaper interview, the organisation's president, Ikebal Adam Patel, who wrote the submission, says the AFIC "strongly supports that multiculturalism should lead to legal pluralism...and twin toleration." This is the same "game plan" these people used to convince the Europeans to allow them to do this and now they are stuck with the arrangement. Note, how Gillard's multiculturalism encourages those who want to retribalise Australia, rather than stress what unites us.

I can just see it now.....the Muslim enclaves (ghettos) in our cities are enjoying Sharia Law so
now they can have:

• backyard stonings


• honour killings


• thieves brought to halal butchers to have their hands cut off


• a molested woman trying to find 4 men to verify the molester did it or she gets punished


• Muslim men are allowed to marry 10 year old girls, like the esteemed Prophet enjoyed
  
  Jihad by stealth has begun.

Today...we get another submission from the AFIC stating they want taxpayers to finance the expansion of Islamic schools (better known as"extremist incubators") and halal food outlets into mainstream suburbs. In this submission to the federal inquiry into multiculturalism, Mr Patel said that, "Muslims were forced to live in enclaves near Islamic schools, mosques and halal food stores. The Government should invest in expanding services like halal meat premises as well as faith-based schools." He went on to stress; "If the Government and politicians cannot recognise this as essential, it should no longer accuse the Australian Muslim community of intentionally living in enclaves!" I ask...has any previous group of immigrants demanded so much, with the threat that otherwise it will not fit in??? I say, "Get The Hell Out of Here!"

The Way I See It....whoever wants to make their own private or religious arrangements about living together as a group can do so, provided they do not conflict with Australian law. But for the law to specifically endorse verdicts of religious groups is to give them a power and legal standing that seems at odds with the notion of one law for all, as with our Constitution's insistence on a separation of church and state. Something these Muslims don't appreciate since many are coming from Islamic countries that has the church controlling the state.

What fits with Australian values is the idea that we are one people bound by one law, not rival peoples with each our own. Andrew Bolt of the Herald Sun newspaper articulates it so well when he says...."At such a price, is Muslim immigration worth the hassle?"

Requiem for a Reprobate

Two weeks ago the World learned of the death of a misogynistic, homophobic, racist mass murderer who supported a theocratic, neo-fascist ideology posing as a liberation movement.

To be sure, Osama bin Laden was opposed to every tenet of modern progressive politics; secular democracy, representative government, equality of the sexes, anti-racism and the core values of the Enlightenment itself.

It is a bizarre historical coincidence, President Obama announced to the world that bin Laden was dead on May 1, the very same day that, 66 years earlier, Adolf Hitler was dead. It's fitting that two of history's great mass murderers share a day of death. Both embodied charisma and intelligence deployed in the service of evil and both were utterly callous about the killing of innocents to further their cause.

There are, of course, many differences between the two, but one great similarity holds. Hitler's death marked the end of the Nazi challenge from Germany. And bin Laden's death will mark the end of the global threat of al-Qaeda. Of course there are still groups groups that call themselves al-Qaeda and they will still plot and execute terrorist attacks, but the danger from al-Qaeda was always much more than that of a few isolated attacks. It was an ideological message that we feared had an appeal across the Muslim world of 1.5 billion believers.

While U.S. foreign policy might have been a contributing factor for their anti-western message of opposition and rage, it wasn't the main sore point and it could not alone explain the scale, depth and intensity of Islamic terrorism. There was something different about the nature of Arab frustration that had morphed into anti-American terrorism.

The Way I See It.....the central problem was the stagnation and repression of the Arab world--40 years of tyranny and decay--had led to deep despair and envy of the Western democracies ability to change, grow while still maintaining freedom for their citizens. The West became a target because it supported the Arab autocracies and al-Qaeda believed that the only way to topple these dictatorships was through violence and that the people wanted and would cheer an Islamic regime.

Osama bin-Laden would've seen the writing on the walls of his isolated refuge that his movement's message and force was dissipating over that past months as millions in the Arab-world have toppled regimes relatively peacefully, and what they have sought was not a New Caliphate, not a Theocracy, but a modern Democracy. The crowds in Cairo's Tahrir Square did not have pictures of bin Laden in their hands, but signs reading "Freedom" and "Equality".

Polls around the Muslim world confirm that support for bin Laden had been plummeting over the past five years. As al-Qaeda morphed into a series of small local groups, they turned the locals against them as they killed more Muslims than Infidels. Their "support" for radial jihadism had always been more theoretical than real, a support for a romantic notion of militant opposition to the West and its domination of the modern world. Once this terrorism came home, the people realized that they didn't want to return to the 7th Century and they didn't much like the men who wanted to bomb them back there.

We Have a Problem With the Sudanese !

Now, I have to speak out! A year ago, in early May, I sent a concerned email to Mr Akoch Manheim, Director of the Sudanese Lost Boys Association (based in Melbourne), about information I had accumulated over the course of a year concerning Sudanese gang violence. I told him my patients and their neighbors are having a gut-full and will look to straightening these thugs out if something's not done! All I got from my troubled message was a short reply that he would need a couple of weeks to look into it. I figured that with 22,000 of them scattered across our lovely land it could take time. I never got answer back even after repeated attempts to elicit a response.


I initially mentioned my brother-in-law's warning to my wife and I not to stroll down the street at night from our hotel in Perth's CBD as we were very likely to be set upon and mugged by Sudanese men loitering in parks along the main street. He even pointed them out lurking in the shadows that put a chill up our spines. I then told Mr Manheim that just 4 weeks later a patient of mine visiting Perth for a business conference was walking the 3 blocks back to the same hotel and was attacked by 6 Sudanese. They held him down and groped for his wallet, then as a police car rounded the corner; off they fled. I included my angry and bruised patient's remark saying, "Those Bl--k B--tards nearly killed me!" for emphasis.


I went on to list incidents that were occurring all over Australia. In Adelaide last year, four people were stabbed after a beauty pageant over a brawl off Rundle Street involving about 100 members of the Sudanese community. A few months later, in another incident, a 14 year old gang member was charged with murder. Melbourne and Sydney both had their share of gang fights, vandalism and violence to Australians. And here in Brisbane we have 4 groups of them in Annerley, Stones Corner, Cooparoo and Collingwood Park and now poor Toowoomba has them too! Police in each area report shop stealing, accosting women, vandalism and an intimidating behavior by Sudanese youths. Are these the LOST BOYS Mr Manheim tells us are just trying to rebuild their lives? Yes..at our countrymen's expense I might add.


You would think he would show more concern and try to do something. Well, the something he did do was show my sincere email to some social worker, who typically showed no concern for my evidence but she took to calling me a racist for putting my patient's remark in the message. Do you believe this man couldn't not write me first and discuss the strong way I presented my evidence. Well, his people are at it again! Andrew Bolt's website has listed some offences.


Easter weekend in southeast Melbourne had 2 men being injured with a machete and metal chain during a wild brawl that erupted after another beauty pageant. More than 1000 members of the Sudanese community had gathered at a public hall. Police arrived to find a large group fighting each other in the street. Officers were pelted with bottles and had to call for back-up. It took 12 police units and 3 dog-squads two hours to bring the violence under control. In 2007, a young man was stabbed after a brawl at a beauty pageant party involving 700 people in Dandenong. Seems these people are developing some bad habits! The list goes on.

Also this weekend in Darwin, two teenage boys were wounded with a machete while a third was beaten unconscious. Residents of the quiet Wulagi street described the attackers as African.

April 15: In Adelaide, 2 incidents of women being indecently assaulted by black men, one at her home and the other in the toilet of a Hindley Street nightclub.


April 14: In Shepparton, 3 armed black men terrorised two staff members in a brazen attack at a Subway restaurant at 9:30pm. They were armed with a baseball bat and knife.


April 13: In Melbourne, a man was stabbed in the head while he walked through a residential car park at 6:40pm. The 2 attackers were African and in their teens.


April 10: Also Melbourne, while walking home from a party, two men were seriously stabbed in brawl when they came upon another group of men in their late teens and early 20's about 1:30am. An argument erupted and the men carrying the knives were Africans.


April 6: Melbourne police are seeking two Africans in their late-20s with short black hair after an unprovoked stabbing in Footscray at 7:45pm. A man called out to the victim to get his attention as a second man lunged from at him from bushes and stabbed him in the shoulder and then in the back.


April 2: In Canberra, a 19 year old is recovering in hospital after being stabbed in the abdomen. At 1:45am the victim and his 18 year old friend were walking down a street in Belconnen when they noticed a man following them. When questioned about his behavior the black African rushed them and stabbed his friend in the arm and him in the abdomen.


This is just a partial, but alarmingly long list of brawls, sexual assaults and stabbings in Australia involving offenders of African appearance in JUST ONE MONTH! Good old Akoch Manheim hides himself behind a Politically Correct Social Worker while this insult to Aussie kindness goes on. You may contact him with your opinion of the actions of his ungrateful community at his email address: akoch20@yahoo.com.

The Way I See It....I wonder at the irresponsibility of our Immigration Department in thinking people from such a vastly different and troubled culture could fit in without undue trouble. Chris Bowen has a lot to answer for his cock-eyed view of multiculturalism. Inviting people with limited English language skills, many not even familiar with the Roman & Arabic alphabet with no formal qualifications or skills. They will need a lot of our resources to assist them in every way of living here. Not wanting them here is not Racist, but Realistic. However, you don't see any African country willing to take them, do you? Why? Read on.

Try this one on. It was brought to my attention a few months ago that the Scouting Organization of Australia focused on establishing a special scout troop for the blacks in Toowoomba. The desire was to stop the rampant breaking & entering and vandalism offenses by giving this bunch a constructive outlet for their unsocial energies. So, at the first meeting to get the Troop started, blacks were introduced to each other when a yell rang out from the Sudanese teenagers, "We won't be going to any meeting if these Rwandans are going to be here!" Do you believe this black-to-black reverse racism?? It's enough to make this old "whitey" cringe. Maybe Sixty Minutes would like to run a story.


Seriously, I must ask...has the desire to seem nice once more overwhelmed our government's responsibility to be wise? How smart was it to offer such people a home in Australia, so remote in so many ways? How fair was it to do so, given how this would affect Australians themselves? Would it have not been more effective help to work harder to provide safe havens and support in their homeland? Have we offered anywhere enough of the support such people would need to settle in without harm to themselves or their new neighbours? I think there will be a day of reckoning if this isn't fixed pretty soon...DO YOU HEAR US Akoch?

The Global Recanting of Multiculturalism: Part 2

I really cringe when I hear politicians talk of MULTICULTURALISM in the context of the immigrants living in their country. They are doing their citizens a disservice by promoting this concept to the world's migratory peoples. This why the European countries are now confronted with the possibility of becoming EUR-ARABIA. Thankful, as you read in my last posting, they are doing something about addressing the complete indifference these migrants show in not assimilating with their host country's values, culture and even language.

The more correct word should be MULTIRACIAL in the context of having mixed races living in one's country but strictly mandating that these people accept and absorb the culture of that country with all its ramifications and rewards. To tolerant anything less is inviting disaster both socially and morally to the fabric of that original society.

So in Australia, last month, we hear our Immigration Minister Chris Bowen fob off the misgivings and concern of the European countries to their immigrant's non-assimilation by saying, "They may be having second thoughts about their multicultural policies but here in Australia, multiculturalism is doing well in all its aspects." REALLY Mr Bowen? Let me read you a letter sent to the Herald Sun newspaper, from a Greg Sheridan.

In 1993, my family and I moved into Belmore in southwest Sydney. It is the next suburb to Lakemba. When I moved there I loved it. On the other side of Belmore, away from Lakemba, there were lots of Chinese, plenty of Koreans, growing numbers of Indians and on the Lakemba side lots of Lebanese and Arabs. That was an attraction, too. I like Middle Eastern food. I like Middle Eastern people and liked the Asian influence as well. But in the nearly 15 years we lived there, the suburb changed and much for the worse.

Three dynamics interacted in a noxious fashion: the growth of a macho, misogynist culture among young men that often found expression in extremely violent crime: a pervasive atmosphere of anti-social behaviour in the streets: and the simultaneous growth of Islamist extremism and jihadi culture. I was shocked to discover the growth of this despicable jihadi culture in Lakemba.

One day, waiting for a pizza order, I wandered into the Muslim bookshop. I was astounded to see titles such as The International Jew and The truth about the Pope amid a welter of other anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and pro-extremist literature. I remembered that a large number of those charged with terrorism offences in Australia stayed in or had associations within the area. I also recalled the brilliant and fearless reporting of this paper's Richard Kerbaj, who spoke perfect Arabic and exposed that in a number of mosques in the area outright hatred was being preached: anti-Semitic, misogynist and conspiratorial being the prime subjects.

The advent of satellite television made it easier for these folks to live a life apart from us. Hezbollah's Al Manar TV station was available on satellite packages. Most Arab homes you went into had Arabic TV playing in the background as children were playing. Just imagine the next bunch of anti-social behaviour we'll be facing as these people keep breeding and their brood grows up.

The Way I See It....Chris Bowen, MP had better wake up, take off those Rose-Coloured Glasses and seriously take-the-hint from our European friends and the Congressional hearings taking place in the United States because all is not well in Gotham City. Aside from his government's inadequate Boat People policy (which was covered in a previous posting) he must not let the Muslims turn our democratic system against us by enjoying the privilege of disseminating their filthy ideas in book stores and mosques without consequences; like DEPORTATION.

I would also like see careful monitoring of the books in the Islamic schools that are sprouting up. And let's not give into the the cry of "victimization" through our actions. First and foremost, if those Muslim communities in this country can't police themselves and expose the underlying jihadi conspirators then we'll have to scrutinize them more closely. After all, it's our culture, language and values they need to absorb to enjoy a free aussie way of life. If they don't like it....LEAVE!!!

The Global Recanting of Multiculturalism

I first wrote about the unfilled promise of Europe's multiculturalism in my blog posting in October last year. In that article I pointed out that Angela Merkel, Germany's leader, publicly announced that multiculturalism was dead in her country and the welcome mat was withdrawn from people that continue to refuse to assimilate and enjoy German culture and language; particularly the Muslims.

A few months ago, the British Prime Minister David Cameron delivered a cogent and impassioned speech on the perils of political correctness and multiculturalism in his country. He was specifically highlighting the need to combat Islamic extremism. He told his audience, "We won't defeat terrorism simply by the actions we take outside our borders. Europe needs to wake up to what is happening in our own countries. Under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we have encouraged different cultures to live separate lives, apart from the mainstream. We have foolishly tolerated these segregated communities behaving in ways that run counter to our values.

Cameron continued, "So when a white person holds racist views, we rightly condemn them. But when equally unacceptable views or practices have come from someone who isn't white, we've been too cautious frankly, even fearful, to stand up to them." He said, "All too often we have been showering organizations with public money that purport to represent the Muslim community only to find that they do little to combat extremism in their ranks. Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism!" After he heard Cameron's speech, Niclos Sarkosy renewed has efforts to get a "ban-the-barqa" law passed and now women can be fined if in full-dress burqa.

Meanwhile in March, many politicians in America see multiculturalism. especially its coddling of Islam, as a tremendous threat and see what lessons the Europeans have learnt in their passive tolerance of multiculturalism. Now, in Washington, Representative Peter King has called for Congressional hearings on the threat of Islamic extremism within the United States. King said to his leftist detractors, "In short, our homeland has become a major front in the war with Islamic terrorism. Very simply, my committee cannot ignore the fact that al-Qaeda is actively attempting to recruit individuals living within the Muslim American community to commit acts of terror. This committee will continue to examine the threat of Islamic radicalization and I will not allow political correctness to obscure a real and dangerous threat to the safety and security of our citizens...point blank!"

The Way I See It....most western countries are waking up to the fact that their generous tolerance of Muslims in their midst has not generated an assimilation and acceptance of their country's values. Instead in many cities in Europe there are actually "pockets" (really ghettos) of Muslims that have created NO GO ZONES where white people, police, firemen and even ambulances are rebuked and threatened. These people were even allowed to set up their own neighbourhood Sharia courts and not comply with local laws. Finally the citizens are saying, "Enough is enough."
