Since

Between the One Nation lines
Yesterday was an interesting day in the global office. In the morning I had
a call from the Sydney Morning Herald's Frank Robson who wanted to
talk to me about my "battles with journalists".
Seemed like he was extremely well informed with photographers like David
Sproule (who I do not know) and a number of journalists having bent his ear
about "confrontations" with Scott Balson. He also raised the issue of my
being told to
"stop taking
photographs" in the Parliament by the Press Gallery President Mike
D'Arcy.
What his sources had omitted to mention was that a
few days
later I was told by D'Arcy that he had had no authority to stop me
taking photographs after all - an act which I see as censorship.
Quote: It has got to be noted that
while I was taking photos the Speaker's position was vacant. When I raised
this issue with D'Arcy he agreed that there was no real reason why I should
not have been allowed to take photographs and that he had, in fact, no authority
to stop me doing so.
It was clear to me that at the recent Queensland Press Gallery AGM
journalists had hatched a plan and Robson's lengthy call was, I believe,
a preliminary attack.
Robson went on to ask me why I thought media coverage in Australia was biased.
I presented a number of examples and made the point that all it takes is
a few bad eggs in your profession telling porky pies and they spoil it for
the rest.
I felt that I had made a few good points - especially when deflecting his
comments about the new Queensland State MPs "conspiracy theories" - he gave
the example of Jack Paff saying to him that he had been recording their
conversation to make sure that he was not misquoted and raised the issue
of Jeff Knuth and his allegedly "racist" comments against Aborigines made
during a discussion with him.
Tackling the conspiracy issue I raised News Limited's
own widely promoted "conspiracy
theory" thrust upon a seemingly uninterested Australian population
day after day when the Packer media empire was set to secure the Fairfax
group through "shady deals" in last years media ownership muted changes...
which were stalled because of the News Limited assault.
Most of our discussion was centered around the issue of dishonest, at best,
reporting of One Nation and what the party stands for.
Last night we had a perfect example of what I was talking about thrust upon
us.
In a special on Pauline Hanson's One Nation on the ABC's Four Corners
reporter Tony Jones displayed the party is undemocratic, far right and
a mess in a report which was so selectively compiled to make a joke of any
semblance of balanced reporting in the media.
This of course has been a line thrown around the media traps for months -
it is rather like the "racist" tag that is attached to Pauline Hanson and
One Nation whenever an opportunity for deception presents itself.
I first met Tony Jones when he was covering the
training of the
Queensland State MPs at parliament in June. Tony comes across as
a very nice chap. We talked several times over that weekend and, at his request,
I agreed to a morning here at the global office where they could get my views
on One Nation and the media - as the Four Corners report on
August 10th would be about "One Nation and the
media" with the emphasis being on misreporting.
Last Saturday I sent a broadcast to the One Nation mailing list which reads,
One Nation and media reporting:
There appears to be a discernable move by certain
journalists in Australia to look back upon the professionalism (or lack of
it) of their own profession in their reporting on Pauline Hanson and One
Nation over the last few years.
The reflective mood appears to have stemmed from the
eviction of a Queensland Times journalist and photographer from a press
conference a few weeks back for what Mrs Hanson saw as 'unbalanced' reporting
by the paper in the lead up to the Queensland State Election.
On Monday night (10th August) the ABC's Four Corners
programme will be looking at One Nation and the media.
A book is currently being written by a well-know political
commentator, author and publisher who will be looking at the same theme.
In relation to this subject - you might find a One
Nation's members firsthand viewpoint on the
recent 60 Minutes
debate between established mainstream party representatives and One
Nation members of interest:
http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news/onenation/60
The agreed format of the debate is clearly in
dispute.
Now clearly I was wrong. I was wrong because I was deceived by the Four
Corners programme and reporter Tony Jones who came into my global office
in July and spent several hours asking me about how the media misrepresented
One Nation. There was no inclusion of the interview with myself because it
was all an obvious diversion to keep the party leadership in the dark of
their real purpose while they were given privileged access to the party during
Pauline Hanson's recent countrywide tour.
These experts in deception, as one of the correspondents writes below, will
now join 38 Minutes with the tag of "Flawed Corners".
Flawed Corners not only totally ignored the topic they were supposed to be
reporting on but looked for every disaffected member that they could find
and created a story out of the interviews accumulated over several weeks.
The interview with myself and, I would suggest, many others was omitted because
why cover One Nation and the media when that never was your real purpose.
One interesting fact about the programme was the admission by Liberal MP
Tony Abbott that he was behind the move by Paul Everingham to represent
dissafected One Nation candidate Terry Sharples in his attempts to prevent
One Nation candidates at the Queensland state election getting the money
due to them to pay for their election campaigns.
National suicide forum reject Pauline Hanson
Here is an
extract from the press release:
I am saddened that the forum organisers have asked
that I not attend the workshop because my attendance could distract other
delegates. They said I was welcome to attend the 'politicians' segment at
the end of the forum.

How big is a Petrie?
The president of one of One Nation's south Brisbane branches, Brendan Bogle
of Petrie branch, who was interviewed during the Four Corners programme
last night made his move hours before the show went to air. He claimed that
the 200 membership of Petrie would move to the National party.
He told the Courier Mail yesterday, "One Nation is doing exactly what
it claims the other parties were doing: not listening. And it's breaking
more than a few hearts along the way.
"I have asked myself, has One Nation a future in Australian politics? In
my opinion, as long as these loonies are allowed to manipulate the good people
in the party, the answer is no."
Bogle blamed the state executive saying, "It sees the easy way out... is
if anyone causes them trouble, they get rid of them."
One Nation national director David Ettridge responded to Bogle's claims last
night by saying, "Not a single member's resigned (from Petrie), but neither
have we received anything from Bogle or any of his associates on the executive.
"He's never rung up and said his branch has a problem and if you don't fix
it the executive will resign. That's why I think this is a stunt. Brendan
and his cronies up in the executive can all take off and do whatever they
like and join whatever party they like, but the members won't do that. They
may influence a few who were never our supporters in the first place.
"We might lose five or six people. Good riddance to them - it doesn't
matter. If they're not with us then we would like them to leave."
Ettridge had not realised just how big a stunt Bogle had pulled with his
comments on Four Corners last night having been recorded weeks ago.
This is what Bogle and another previously well reported spit-the-dummy
group of ex-One nation members from Queensland said on Four Corners last
night:
Tony Jones (reporter), "There was trouble in the founding
branch of One Nation some party insiders began to realise that members of
the extreme Confederate Action Party (CAP) had infiltrated One Nation in
Queensland at its highest levels."
Ted Briggs, "I came actively involved in politics for
the first time in the 53 years of my life..."
TJ: "Before the Queensland election Ted Briggs was
a senior figure in the Queensland Election Campaign Committee and at one
time treasurer."
TB: "I started branches for the Pauline Hanson One
Nation. I went out physically delivering the word of Pauline Hanson One
Nation."
TJ: "But he said that he discovered that other members
of the state executive including the state president Mr Tom King and senior
official Santo Ferraro had been in the top echelons of the CAP."
TB: "It was made known to me over a period of time
that we have a far, far right organisation penetrating Pauline Hanson's One
Nation and pursuing the right wing view."
TJ: "And what sort of view would those people hold
do you suppose?"
TB: "Radical."
TJ: "Brendan Bogle is the president of the Petrie branch
of One Nation."
Brendan Bogle: "Confederate Action Party people are
little minded people. They were sown up in the previous campaigns in the
past. They have had no success but this time they were successful in hijacking
a party which has good wholesome values."
TJ: "He still believes in Pauline Hanson but he doesn't
like the way her party's going."
"Have you been told not to speak to the media?"
BB: "Yeah, I have."
TJ: "So why are you speaking to the media?"
BB: "Well if not for the membership for the public
of Queensland who did vote for One Nation and er those half million people
who voted need to know what they are voting for. They need to know the people
they voted for aren't all they seem."
TJ: "What do you know about the CAP?"
BB: "They would refer to Christ as not being a jew.
They seem to think that Aboriginal people should be their very name and that
is native."
TJ: "His friend John Philips watched as extremists
tried to infiltrate their own branch."
TJ: "How extreme were these people?"
JP: "Well I will put it this way, my flag is not white
and my emblem is not a burning cross. There's is as far as I am
concerned."
Now think about the timing of Brendan Bogle's statements yesterday that Petrie
branch will join the National Party... As Ettridge said earlier nothing more
than a clearly planned dump job. Who needs him.
And Briggs - well he nearly bankrupted the Queensland Electoral Campaign
Committee before he was dumped. After he was dumped the party found out about
his close association with Hanson-hater Lord Mayor Jim Soorley.
The racist Jews
Are all Jews racist or is just a few? One of the Jewish organisations, B'nai
Brith, is in the process of re-writing the definition of racist to fit their
own agenda.
In my opinion that is, in itself, an act of blatant racism. Why then don't
other Jews speak out against them?
The Jewish organisation has been joined by Community Aid Abroad with the
charity's spokesman, Jeremy Hobbs, now saying assimilation policies
are 'clearly racist'. So any dissent from the politically correct
multiculturalism will be monitored by Racewatch.
Well arseholes you better start monitoring anotd because if you don't
assimilate you create the foundation of a divisive, racist society and that's
a fact.

Subject: Comments on Tonight's 4 Corners
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share my feelings of slight anxiety
over tonight's forthcoming 4 Corners program. The combination of the media's
overwhelming m.o. to discredit, and, preferably, destroy One Nation, whenever,
and however, possible, and snow jobs to this end in the past by ACA and 60
Minutes, tend to make me skeptical about this kind of thing. IMHO, the ABC
people should be expected to be as anti O.N. as the Channel Packer people.
Promos for the program along the lines of - See the inside story - unaparalled
access to the goings on inside O.N. etc. have done nothing to waylay my
fears.
Actually, if I was a member of the ABC 4 Corners team,
operating under the standard 'Discredit O.N. Agenda' I would suggest seducing
O.N. with an offer to do a program highlighting the day by day attacks on
them, and the media's biased handling of those attacks - with every intention
of being able to cobble together enough footage later on to add to the 60
Minutes line of undisciplined, whinging rabble, and, hopefully, the other
ongoing flank attack commenced by Barbara Hazelton of an undemocratic party
structure, or, even, PH being irritable, preferably angry or demanding, on
the inside. Or, perhaps, an opportunity to portray David Oldfield as smarmy
and sleazy (aka the hatchet job done along these lines in today's The Daily
Telegraph). Or perhaps we can get something that might make David Etteridge
look like he's only in it to line his own pockets.
Whatever, I sincerely hope everyone involved was ultra
cautious. Paranoia where the media's treatment of One Nation and Pauline
is concerned is almost an essential precaution.

Subject: 4 Corners
The closing comments on 4 corners last night unveiled
the true colours of the journalists involved in putting this story together.
Once again the media seems unable to present a story from an unbiased
perspective. Once again they missed the point. The commentary wound up the
program stating:
The Australian voter will have to decide "whether they trust the party that
has built itself on the seeds of her anger". Wake up guys! Pauline is the
manifestation of the seeds of electorate anger. You put the cart before the
horse and tried to shoot the messenger. You are denigrating good Australians
with good intentions that, having been hurt and ignored by the other parties,
have put they're support for change in a new party. They have succeeded in
putting the boot into Canberra. 4 Corners made the same mistake last night
that many shock ridden in the political arena made. They arrogantly ignored
the real Australians who needed this voice, desperately.
When 4 corners claim that One Nation supporters are (dumbly) falling for
one woman's "seeds of anger", they are simply making a political attack on
a political figure, and are once again ignoring the plight of hitherto unvoiced,
disenfranchised hurting Australians.
And hasn't that been the real problem? (hint: - if you can't make programs
that aren't political attacks, at least be part of the solution, not the
problem!)

Scott
want to dramatically reduce bias in the broadcast media?
Simple. Double the number of radio stations and free-to-air TV stations.
Viewers and listeners (voters) would love the expanded choice of programs.
Small and large businesses would love the cut in advertising rates. Even
Labor's handpuppets in the arts community would give a grudging cheer for
the increased work opportunities. The only losers will be the ABC, and the
media moguls, who hold these licenses to print money only for as long as
the number of stations is restricted. Perhaps a future One Nation senator
could put this up as a private Bill, and have it passed in exchange for O.N.
support on some other piece of legislation? Labor and the coalition secretly
want this to happen, but they're too terrified of the moguls to try it
themselves. 'Sorry, Kerry, we fought hard, but those damn rednecks have the
balance of power....'

Subject: Shame 4 Corners! Shame!
This once insightful, objective and influential current
affairs programme(oh! for the days of Chris Masters!) has now descended to
the level of gutter journalism and intellectual prostitution typified by
the likes of: the Murdoch 'press', Packer Industries, Sixty Minutes and Richard
Carleton et al...perhaps it should be re-named 'For Shame!' The smarmy,
condescending and sarcastic tone of the journo-in-residence(Tony Jones),
mapped the course for this disgraceful exhibition of bias, innuendo and
fabrication...
The 'promo' hinted that one of the major lights of
ON Party(David Oldfield) was a 'National Socialist'(viz: 'Nazi'!). With that
kind of bait, who could resist? The doubtless much-mutilated interview of
Mr David Oldfield revealed that he describes himself as a 'nationalist',
who believes in certain 'socialist' ideas. How does this make him a Nazi?
Nazis have a fairly clearly delineated set of ideals and beliefs. Does Mr
Oldfield ascribe to these, and what evidence exists to say that he does?
Still, never let the facts get in the way of a good lie(especially, a big
one!)...when you've built a 'straw man', stick with it!...
Next, we were subjected to a farrago of unsubstantiated
and random allegations from disaffected former ON Party 'members'....everything
from Russian Roulette to violent physical eviction from ON Party premises
by the resident Party Brownshirts! No checks or details of these peoples'
backgrounds was done, nor was any body of evidence presented to satisfactorily
explain _why_ they decided to 'go public' with their grievances(or whether
any inducements or 'persuasion' were involved), nor was any attempt made
to verify or corrorborate their 'stories'. The reasons/motivation behind
Terry Sharples' Supreme Court injunction were left up in the clouds with
the rest of the facts(or, more likely, on the cutting room floor!) The dubious
ethics of journo Jones(perhaps he should seek a 'bit part' on the ABC comedy
series 'Smith & Jones'!) nearly came unstuck thanks to the glaringly
obvious sliminess and 'ducking and diving' of Liberal Party hack, Tony
Abbott...whose patently evasive answers to the source and scope of Sharples'
mammoth legal bill in the Queensland Supreme Court nearly unravelled this
pathetic tissue of lies! You wouldn't have had to be a rocket scientist to
figure out that most, if not all, of the telephone-number sized legal bill
was covered by funds from the bottomless coffers of the Laboral Party!
Lest the viewers start asking too many difficult questions,
however, 'For Shame!' moved quickly along to the violent 'demos' accompanying
nearly all ON Party meetings. To the accompaniment of suitably dramatic music,
the sombre voice of T.Jones informed us that 'this is not the Australia I
knew!'. Indeed it isn't, Mr Jones! The Australia you grew up in was one of
full employment: where small businesses and small farms flourished and big
government/big business were minimised....an Australia where there was a
minimum of bureaucrats, where a man had the right to defend himself and his
family in his own home, where politicians actually came from the working-class
and listened to their constituents(instead of to certain supra-national
organisations, vocal minority lobby groups and 'intellectual elites'), where
society and families were stable, where children were actually taught 'knowledge'
and 'discipline' in schools(and graduated fully literate and numerate, ready
to take their places as responsible and useful members of society), where
the dominant culture/religion was Christian, and where people could say what
they thought in the workplace, the home, the streets, the schools and the
sporting fields without fear of the Thought Police descending on them!!!!...an
Australia where children could play safely in the streets and in the parks
and the elderly were not barricaded inside mini-fortresses! And people hoping
for a return to even a semblance of what once passed for normality are now
accused of 'divisiveness' and castigated as 'racists' and instigators of
'political violence and instability'! The indisputable and well-documented
fact[s] that the violence at these 'demos' is perpertrated and instigated
by a Trotskyite Rent-a-Mob(with identifiable Laboral Party connections)was,
of course, never gone into or explored...so much for investigative
journalism!
Mrs Hanson summed up the situation nicely:"It's the
Australian people who are driving this[the rise and rise of ON Party]. Not
me or anyone else"
A word of caution: this disgraceful and sorry debacle
should serve as a warning-notice to ON Party members, supporters and officials:
that, as far as the mainstream media in this country is concerned,
_they_are_on_their_own. Obviously, the media cannot be prevented from 'reporting'
on ON Party meetings, rallies and decisions. However, a policy of studied
indifference, where the only comment is 'no comment!'(or, better still, cold
disdain) and the only 'photo opportunity' is a strategically placed back,
would seem to be in order here!
cheers!

Subject: They've gone too far this time
The charity Community Aid Abroad, and the Jewish
anti-defamation organisation, B'Nai Brith, have combined in an unholy alliance
to form Racewatch. This is an un-Australian organisation which plans to use
volunteers to scrutinize the utterances of politicians, their staff and even
supporters for 'racist remarks'.
Anyone deemed to have made racist remarks will have
their remarks forwarded to a tribunal consisting of Justice Marcus Einfeld
of the Federal Court, Irene Moss, a former federal race discrimination
commissioner and present NSW Ombudsman, and Trevor Boucher, former head of
the Departmment of Taxation. These witch-hunters will be acting as private
citizens.
According to Community Aid Abroad's Jeremy Hobbs,
assimilation policies are 'clearly racist'. So any dissent from the politically
correct multiculturalism will be monitored by Racewatch.
I urge all fair-minded Australians resist this disgraceful
bullying. If planning to make a donation to charity bypass Community Aid
Abroad for an alternative, and protest against B'Nai Brith. What hypocrites
the Jewish members of this organisation are in compiling lists of people!
I trust most Jews are as disgusted as I am.

Subject: Which is the best Tax ?
Sat. 08.08.98, on Channel 2 in the news at 19:00hrs.,
It was announced, that Exports will be exempt from GST.
As far as I can see, people from other Countries, buying
various products, manufactured in this Country, will not have to pay the
GST on them, but anybody from this Country will have to pay the GST on the
same products. WHY ?
Why don't we have a Debit Tax instead of GST ?
Is there anything wrong with The Debit Tax ? All, the
Government, the Opposition and the Democrats, seem to avoid the issue, hide
any information on the subject, and avoid to debate, disclose any data, discuss
it, mention it or bring it, in to the open. Is it to prevent people with
millions and billions of dollars, from paying tax on it, and to make us,
ordinary Australians pay the tax, which should have been paid by them.
All I am asking is, for the Government, Opposition
and the Democrats come clean, and bring it, (with it's faults and benefits),
in to the open, so we can come to an informed conclusion on it, or do they
want us to keep us in the dark.
Here are the Internet, PRO, The Debit Tax, addresses,
let's have from the Government, Opposition and the Democrats, any information
AGAINST The Debit Tax, so we can make fully informed decision on it, HOW
TO VOTE.
If you want to see the information PRO The Debit Tax,
here are the Internet addresses on The Debit Tax, they seem to be (on the
face of it), very attractive, ONLY 0.33% on any money withdrawn to spend.

GST - NO!
EMERALD - (Tuesday, August 11, 1998) - Any candidate
who supports the implementation of a Goods and Services Tax must be resoundly
defeated at the next election. Mr. Howard has already stated that there is
no way that he can guarantee that the rate of the proposed tax will be fixed
at 10%. Any State politician or member of a local authority who supports
the proposed Goods and Services Tax is in fact committing an act of treason.
The Tax has had a disastrous effect on the battlers of New Zealand and Canada.
I have friends in New Zealand who abhor their system, they talk about ours
with great envy. Once the legislation is in place your can rest assured that
the minister in charge will manipulate it as per usual at the expense of
the populous. In Norway the Tax has now reached a high 25% whilst in Britain
it is 17.5%. No government irrespect of political persuasion can be trusted
with a Goods and Tax. The solution, write to your Federal Member of Parliament
and Senator seeking an undertaking that they will not support the introduction
of the Howard/Costello reeking plan. If you don’t get a positive reply,
you will then know what to do at the next election.
Yours,

Guernsey - a fair cow for the
banksters!
A search on the www for 'Guernsey', turned up a CIA
file that showed the Island of Guernsey prints its own money (so tax is almost
nonexistent), has no foreign debt (as there is no interest to borrow for),
and no CONstitution (the ultimate test of true civilisation, as laws are
not needed when all citizens are civilised).
After a
request by e-mail to the
Guernsey Chamber of Commerce for reasons why, I received a most pleasant
reply from a lovely lady - Miss Jan Vaudin, the Chamber Secretary, who then
snail-mailed me the archives from 1817, detailing the reply from the 'States
of Guernsey to the Privy Council justifying their experiment in monetary
reform.'
The document is 20 pages of letter size, which I will
send in bits over the next couple of days, but if you want to find out for

multiculturalism
Thank you J. Shinkfield for so succinctly proving my
point. You wrote: "It looks like the immigrants are assimilating well!"
Precisely. Australia is a nation of immigrants, and
assimilation is a natural process. So we don't need divisive policies of
'multiculturalism' which have been high-jacked by sleazy politicians chasing
the ethnic vote, and which fuel the ambition of even sleazier
ethnocrats.

21 June, 1998. Jakarta, Indonesia
Dear friends,
Here I submit a victim's account of being raped during
the May riots here in Jakarta. Reference to Huaran Bulletin Board June 12,
1998.
The purpose is to request your prayers for hundreds
of similar victims.
"My name is Vivian, and I am 18 years old. I have a
little sister and brother. As a family we live in what is supposed to be
a "secure" apartment.
At 9.15 am, May 14th, 1998 a huge crowd had gathered
around our apartment. They screamed, "Let's butcher the Chinese!", "Let's
eat pigs!", "Let's have a party!" We live of the 7th floor and we got a call
from a family on the 3rd floor saying that the crowd had reached the 2nd
floor. They even chased some occupants upstairs. We were all very frightened.
In our fright we prayed and left everything in God's hands.
Afterward we left our room and went upstairs to the
top floor, as it was impossible to go downstairs and escape. We got to the
15th floor and stayed with some friends. Not long afterwards we were surprised
because some of the crowd coming out of the elevators right before we entered
the room. We hurried into the room and locked the door tightly. At that time
we heard them knock at the other rooms loudly and there were some screams
from women and girls. Our room was filled with fear.
We realized that they would come to us. So we spread
throughout the room hiding in the corners.We could hear girls of 10 to 12
years old screaming, "Mommy, ..mommy...mom...mom...it hurts" That time I
didn't know that these little girls were being raped. After about half an
hour the noise diminished and we had some guts to go out and check. It was
indescribable. A lot, some of them youg girls, were lying on the floor. "Oh
my God, what has happened?" Seeing all of this we screemed and my little
sister Fenny, screamed histerically and hugged her father.
Uncle Dodi kept trying to stop them by offering money.
His efforts were fruitless. And in the end 5 people raped Fenny. Before beginning
with the raping they always said "Allahu Akbar" (an islamic phrase in arabic
meaning "God is great". They were ferocius and brutal.
Not long afterward, around 9 men came to the room and
dragged me. I also saw them forcing and dragging my Aunt Vera. But at that
time I passed out and everything went blank. I became conscious at around
5 or 6 pm. My head hurted and I realized I had no clothing on my body. I
cried and realized my family was still there. My father was hugging my mother
and little bother Doni. I also saw uncle Dodi lying on the floor and Aunt
Vera was crying over his body. I felt so weak and fainted again.
The next day I was in the Pluit hospital. My father
and mother were beside me. With all the pains on my body I asked, "Mom, why
Fenny. Mom?" I felt a stinging pain as I said these words. My cheeks were
swollen. My mother cried again and couldn't speak any words, while my father,
holding back his tears, managed to smile at me. After 4 days in treatment,
my condition has improved. With a sad look, my father told me then what had
happened. After I fainted 7 people raped me. At that time my father still
couldn't see well after beling hit with a piece of wood. They raped me
repeatedly. Then my father said "Vivian, Fenny is gone..."
I was confused and cried out, "Why Dad?" My father
couldn't answer. He told me to rest and went out of the room. I cried over
and over again, feeling that my life had no meaning any more. A week ago,
after I was released from the hospital I was told everything that had
happend.
When Fenny was raped she kept on fighting and so she
was repeatedly slapped by her rapists. The last time she fought Fenny spitted
on one of them. Offended, the man grabbed a knife and stabbed Fenny's stomach
over and over again. Finally she died with blood over her whole body.
My father told me that uncle Dodi had the same fate
watched by aunt Vera who was also raped. "God...why should all of this happen?
Where are you God? Are you still alive?" My aunt Vera now stays with her
parents. She is in shock. Her face is blank and refuses to eat. Almost every
hour my mother and I cry over all these happenings. I can never forget. These
mobs of people are uncivilized monsters."
Additional comments from Bill Hekman:
This is one of many victims. Hundreds of women and
children were raped, mutilated and killed by muslim mobs. Some had their
vaginas ripped apart, their bodies cut into pieces.
Over 5000 of the Chinese Indonesian's shops were looted
and burned down. A few days ago anther 63 shops were burned in Tegal, Central
Java. The city of Solo is burned down. There is no protection and no justice
in this country any more.
Yesterday I was in the Kelapa Gading area and that
area was spared from destruction. The police and military had guarded all
the entry roads. The people there had collected large sums of money from
door to door and paid for their protection.
A similar situation took place in the Pondok Indah
area.For the people who cannot pay millions to the armed forces there is
no protection. Right now the hunderds of thousands of thugs,robbers, rapist,
and killers live all around us. They are our neighbors. There is no punishment
for the criminals and no justice for the victims. Yet, all Indonesians call
themselves believers in God almighty. What a hipocracy. Shouting "God is
great" when raping women andchildren is a blasphemy against a Holy God.
Pray that God will annoint His preachers and missionaries
throughout this nation with the power of the Holy Spirit to preach the message
of repentance. God's word in 2 Chronicles 7:14 needs to be proclaimed boldly.
There is no room for preachers filled with fear who think of evacuation and
other selfish plans. Pray for Revival in all our churches.
There is no room for preachers filled with fear who
thinkof evacuation and other selfish plans.
Some Christians are putting signs on their shops "Owned
by Muslim". May God forgive them. Healing of this nation filled with crime
and unjustice is bringing God's judgement and punishment. Healing and Salvation
can only come with a nasional repentance at all levels in the government,
armed forces and society. Then we need to share the Gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Christ is the One and Only Savior. No one will ever receive forgiveness
and see heaven except through God's appointed Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for standing with us now. God bless you.
During the chaos in Indonesia last May 13-15 many Chinese
Indonesian citizens were abused, tortured and killed. Their houses and stores
were looted and burnt. Hundreds of Chinese Indonesian girls/women (aged 10-55)
were sexually harassed and gang raped brutally. Some victims were even raped
in front of their family members or in front of inhuman cheering crowd.
Some of them were even thrown into the fire and burnt
to death after being raped. Yet, not many actions seem to have been taken
to investigate all this or to help the victims. And not very many people
seem to know or care about what happened. Please help to spread the news
and let the world know.
We need help to get more international attention to
help Chinese Indonesians, who are now living in fear in Indonesia. Please
pass this ribbon around as the symbol of campaign against human rights
violations, injustice, and racism towards Chinese Indonesians.
Show that we care and may God help us!
The media and gays
Hi!
thank you for sending this to me. it's great to be
kept in touch with what's *really happening in australia.
sorry to hear about the media!
they are even worse here in america.
don't let the bastards get to you! stay cool.
I have a question. a good friend of mine here who is
a gay guy was telling me that you don't like gay people!
i told him that i like pauline because she is sending
a message to the people who run australia like they own it (they don't own
it, we do!). i don't mind people who don't like gay people just so long as
they don't bash them, which has unfortunately been the experience of my friend.
to my mind they should be allowed to live how they like so long as they don't
harm anybody. just like everyone else. i do think they deserve the same rights
as i have though. he tells me that if he went to hospital his partner couldn't
visit him because the law wouldn't allow it which is just terrible.
please tell me that he's got this wrong!
best wishes
jane manson, USA
Another perfect day in paradise.
Have a good one.
