Student artist sparks fury by saying war crimes report 'shows Australia's character' and arguing mental health helplines shouldn't be displayed for struggling veterans Bobuq Sayed sparked fury by penning a scathing article about Australia Article for university-funded magazine Meanjin relates to alleged war crimes Queer youth worker says report shows 'Australia's character on display' Australian soldiers stand accused of murdering 39 people in Afghanistan A student artist claims alleged Afghan war crimes are 'Australia's character on display' and slammed the support given to stressed soldiers. Bobuq Sayed, a non-binary queer youth worker whose parents are Afghan refugees, wrote a scathing article for university-funded literary magazine Meanjin. Sayed's comments referred to the Brereton report into alleged Australian war crimes in Afghanistan that was made public last week The four-year inquiry uncovered a 'shameful record' of alleged unlawful killings that took place outside the 'heat of battle'. They included cases where new patrol members were told to shoot a prisoner to achieve their first kill in an 'appalling practice' known as 'blooding'. There was also evidence that troops took part in 'body count competitions' and covered up illegal killings by staging skirmishes, planting weapons and retrospectively adding names to target lists. Sayed took aim at Defence Personnel minister Darren Chester for his 'disregard for the structural problem underpinning the Brereton report'. But 'what hit hardest', Sayed claimed, was the inclusion of 24-hour support and counselling hotlines for members of the Australian Defence Force and their families on media articles about the report. FULL ARTICLE THIS GRUB WROTE: A New Generation of Australian War Criminals Bobuq Sayed November 23, 2020 After almost two decades of the Australian Defence Force's involvement in Afghanistan, it takes something major for the crisis there to warrant national attention. Streaks of deadly car bombings and rocket strikes rarely register. Most don't bat an eyelid at the new normalisation of relations with the Taliban and their sinister return to global prominence. Just recently, 22 promising scholars were slain during a shooting at Kabul University, where my own father studied some 40 years ago. Within hours, the news cycle had shifted elsewhere. However, a damning report alleging that 39 Afghans were slain mercilessly by ADF soldiers was released on Thursday, after a four-year long investigation by Maj Gen Justice Paul Brereton. It found that all of the victims were non-combatants, including farmers, prisoners and children. Junior ADF soldiers were allegedly instructed by their superiors to enact executions in cold blood as part of a 'blooding' process to give them their first kill. Weapons and radios were placed on dead bodies to cover up the war crimes. According to the report, there was an air of competitiveness to killing Afghans, as though their murders were akin to sport or a video game. None among those slain were ever formally charged with crimes and none were killed in the heat of the battle. Their thoughtless killing suggests the ADF had no fear of repercussions and no legitimate precedent to think they might ever be held accountable. The legal treatise of innocent until proven guilty, as the report lays out, has never been seen to apply to Afghans, who are the disposable casualties of Australia's ego and entitlement abroad. The report is extraordinary because, for the first time in the history of Australia's longest war, there is finally some effort to address the bloodthirsty culture of ADF soldiers and the impunity with which Afghan death is treated. The report's 143 recommendations, if implemented, would see a total of 25 perpetrators put on trial. That is more than six percent of the roughly 400 ADF soldiers currently stationed in Afghanistan. Yet I was particularly struck by the statement released soon after the report by Defence Personnel minister Darren Chester in an appeal to the Australian public: 'We must not allow the alleged actions of a relatively small number to stain the reputations of thousands who serve today, and the broader veteran community.' Chester's disregard for the structural problem underpinning the Brereton report employs the same 'bad apples' logic that excuses anti-Black police in racialised murders. There is a seeming amnesia to the fact that Australia provided one of the four most substantial combat force contingents during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a bungled military operation that laid the seeds, and power vacuum, for ISIS to develop. The government and large swaths of the media yet again seemed to be squandering the opportunity for a national reckoning. But what hit hardest was the addendum to articles about the report from The Age and The Guardian. At the bottom of the page, both outlets listed 24-hour support and counselling hotlines for members of the Australian Defence Force and their families. It mortifies me that the emotional impact of this report centres veterans, although it is unsurprising given how often this 'bad apples' framing occludes the extent of national complicity. Perhaps these war crimes in Afghanistan are not an exceptional lapse in judgement, but the very character of Australia on display in full focus. Even through such senseless violence, many are quicker to take a defensive position on behalf of bloodthirsty war criminals than consider the large population of Afghans who have settled in Australia as refugees since the Soviet invasion. When pressed, there remains an inability for Australia to truly consider itself a home for Muslims and, in this context, Afghans, despite the total number of Afghan-born Australian residents today having reached fifty thousand. Descendents of those refugees who still identify ethnically as Afghan, like myself, increase the number of that population substantially. These findings mirror the same culture of impunity among other allied soldiers in Afghanistan. Just last year, forty innocent pine nut farmers were killed in a strategic US drone strike that mistook them for combatants. In Britain, the High Court is currently considering whether the UK failed to properly investigate allegations of unlawful killings of Afghans by UK Special Forces.

TSB A dirty Afghan trash. Should never be allowed into Australia. 2 months ago
A dirty Afghan trash. Should never be allowed into Australia.
Once Politicians chose Islamic immigrants over White South African farmers and Europeans they set this country on the road to destruction. They must pay. I support our soldiers as they have fought so many wars to keep our country safe and simply because politicians ordered them to war. If anything happened as reported in Afghanistan the fault lies 100% with Politicians and Public Servants as they have allowed Muslims into Australia and ignored more deserving white people, South African farmers for one.
You can look at poll after poll and Muslims are not wanted here, not liked and I go as far as hated. Polls suggest over 60% + Australians want Islam banned. Look at Victoria and Covid-19, everyone knows the major breakouts were Muslims, they didn't comply with law ( as wrong as law was) and then Afghans refuse to assist with tracing if fined.
This hatred to dislike to not trusting of Muslims has grown over years and naturally permeated the Armed Forces. They were the wrong migrants for this country but still they allow them in by thousands. What do politicians think would happen.
In Legal Speak it was a foreseeable conclusion. We once had politicians who for the most put Australian citizens first. Now, we count for nothing and our elected politicians take more notice of minority groups, the UN and anyone except us, the citizens. It is about time we took our nation back. Whether it is from the dangers of Islam, the fear of Black African gangs to not being able to afford electricity. NOT ONE POLITICIAN understands how badly they have deserted the Australian people. Now is the time to act. Politicians are laughing at your Posts on Facebook as what change have, they effected. I will tell you nothing.Have a look at: www.theslateboard.com as you can have your say, sure its not Facebook but has all the user needs of Facebook. You can post and reply to posts, post images, have "Conversations" which is same as Messengers. BUT there is no censorship.

This is your chance to contribute and all you do is purchase an item or items you need and you contribute.The Plan is to DESTROY the Political Careers of these no hopers who have no idea of what the Australian Community expect. 1. As of tonight we want our armed forces supported, their legal fees paid, and preferably charges dropped. Any politician who goes after our great servicemen we go after them. Just join the SlateBoard site and name the politicians we must get rid off. 2. We have politicians who have NO Concept of the pain electricity prices cause. The only fix is about 4 x HELE Coal Fired Power Stations. We damn give A$Billions in oversea aid and they build them while we have people die of cold or heat stroke. You want a target. That Moron Politician from NSW , Matt Kean. His policies will be people in tens of thousands not being able to afford Electricity. This new policy in NSW will see pensioners die from heat or cold. These deaths are foreseeable and when they happen Kean must be charged with nothing less than Manslaughter. His political career must be destroyed as he does not represent one Australian other than that nutter Turnbull and other investors in renewables. His career can be destroyed if we just do the simple things and we must raise money. 3. Immigration is a joke and we can target any number of politicians who have no regard for Australians. I am certain a poll would show that no more muslims wanted, no more Black African gang members but plenty of White African farmers. Politicians and Public Servants who do not follow this edict must go. We protest and protest till they are a quivering mess as all they deserve.

Here's What Happened When a Muslim Complained About Restaurant's Bacon Sign: Should a restaurant that serves bacon be allowed to display signs and/or advertisements that mention bacon? The U.S. Constitution says that it should, but Muslims in Vermont apparently disagree. Case in point: After the Sneakers Bistro restaurant in Winooski put up a sign that read, "Yield for Sneakers Bacon," an outraged Muslim woman took to an online community forum to complain about it. "Given the large number of Muslim families in Winooski, as well as many others who do not eat pork for a variety of reasons, it seems unnecessary for this insensitive business sign to be at the city's main crosswalk," the woman wrote. Unfortunately, the restaurant's owner basically let an acolyte of Shariah law bully him into submission, which is extraordinarily sad given that the U.S. Constitution affords him the right to display his sign. IT IS COMING HERE. In fact it's arrived. In schools no Christmas Carols, Nativity Scenes.

"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." WAR CRIMES? On Thursday, Scott Morrison sought to pre-empt the report's release, establishing a special investigator's office to help the Australian federal police investigate the allegations raised in Brereton's report.

On Thursday, Scott Morrison sought to pre-empt the report's release, establishing a special investigator's office to help the Australian federal police investigate the allegations raised in Brereton's report. It's a significant step. But what will it mean for the ADF, for the Australian public, the accused special forces troops, and the Afghan victims? What will a special investigator's office do? The Morrison government will establish a new Office of the Special Investigator to further investigate potential criminal conduct raised by Brereton's report. The office will sit within the Department of Home Affairs, leverage the powers of the AFP and will be staffed by AFP officers, as well as state and territory police, legal counsel, and support workers. It is likely to be led by a senior barrister or retired judge with extensive criminal law experience. The purpose of the special investigator is to gather further evidence that can be used in court and then refer matters to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP), which will decide whether to prosecute through the courts. One of the special investigator's key roles will be to triage the numerous allegations raised in the Brereton report, investigating the most serious and building briefs for potential prosecution. SO OUR TROOPS MUST ADHERE TO SOME RULES AGAINST AN ENEMY WHO SENDS IN CHILDREN WITH EXPLOSIVE VESTS. A SLUR AGAINST OUR SAS.

I believed Australia belonged to the citizens. There could be nothing further from the truth. We have no say in: Immigration. We have been overrun with Muslims and Black Africans. How many have to die, be assaulted, robbed, subjected to home invasions, car jackings and still immigration policies do not change. The only suitable immigrants to a Western Culture like ours is other Westerners, Europeans, White South Africans and Israeli. This country is not owned by Politicians and Public Servants it is ours and we want to say who comes here. Power Generation. We subsidise windfarms which are owned in China, spend a fortune on renewable energy and thus have among dearest electricity in the world. Last year for a period South Australians did have the worlds dearest electricity. The fault lay with the moronic government of Jay Wetherill as they blew up a Coal Fired Power Station and had no cheap base load power. We send Coal and Uranium overseas so India and China can have cheap power and we have pensioners die in winter as too scared to turn on a heater for fear of the cost. About time the Government asked the citizens about how we want to generate power as we cany save the world. That is assuming anything to save it from. Money sent overseas in overseas aid, money sent to United Nations, the funding of the joke of an ABC. Is our opinion ever sought? Never. There are many other major decisions that affect our daily lives and we are not asked what do we want. Our Governments have no respect for our opinion about the Australia we own and want to live in. We can change this. Now it must change. Please look at: www.theslateboard.com Attached to the SlateBoard site we have opened an online store which will continue to grow until it offers a complete range of personal, home, outdoor and business items.

To achieve this 15% of the profit of EVERY sale will be set aside in what I call our "Save Australia Fund." This is a task that will be in for the long haul and we need to bring pressure to our politicians any way we can. Again, they have no interest in our views. We must use this money to make our view known. We can post of Facebook, Gab, Parler etc. all day and they achieve absolutely nothing. If we filed a court case to have the Quran declared a terrorist handbook they might take notice. This book tells Muslims who to kill and how. If that is not terrorism what qualifies? This site is all about taking Australia back and having politicians not treat our concerns like a joke. We fight back.

Farmer killings: Farmers tortured and killed in horrific South Africa raids: Horrific killings of farmers, where victims were sexually assaulted, tortured and strung up on poles, have sparked outrage in South Africa. In one of the cases, a female farm manager was sexually assaulted and strangled by two gunmen at her farm. In a separate brutal attack on a farm manager 290km away, a man was tied to a pole and tortured before being repeatedly stabbed and then strangled. And, in a third incident, a gang of nine attackers allegedly threatened to rape a farmer's young children if he didn't cooperate and give them what they wanted. Farm manager Chantel Kershaw, 44, was ambushed by two armed men as she helped load a lawnmower onto a truck, The Sun reports. They then held her down and strangled her in the garage of her farm at Delmas east of Johannesburg and left her lying on the ground before pistol whipping her mother.

Horrific killings of farmers, where victims were sexually assaulted, tortured and strung up on poles, have sparked outrage in South Africa.
In one of the cases, a female farm manager was sexually assaulted and strangled by two gunmen at her farm.
In a separate brutal attack on a farm manager 290km away, a man was tied to a pole and tortured before being repeatedly stabbed and then strangled.
And, in a third incident, a gang of nine attackers allegedly threatened to rape a farmer's young children if he didn't cooperate and give them what they wanted.
Farm manager Chantel Kershaw, 44, was ambushed by two armed men as she helped load a lawnmower onto a truck, The Sun reports.
They then held her down and strangled her in the garage of her farm at Delmas east of Johannesburg and left her lying on the ground before pistol whipping her mother.
Distraught mum Greta Spiers, 65, was restrained as the farm was looted and a maid locked in a bathroom before they fled the scene in the family's white Chevrolet station wagon.

George Christensen clashes with foreign investment boss who called concerns 'nationalistic' David Irvine says the government could do a better job explaining the benefits of foreign investment amid community concerns The Morrison government needs to do a better job of explaining the benefits of foreign investment because of underlying community concerns "that foreigners are buying up the farm, they're taking over", a senior adviser to the government has said. David Irvine, the former Asio spy agency chief who now heads the foreign investment review board (Firb), clashed with the outspoken Liberal National party MP George Christensen, who is chairing a trade inquiry and using it to campaign for Australia to reduce its economic dependence on China. Irvine used his appearance before a parliamentary committee hearing on Thursday to defend the benefits of foreign investment, but when he noted that some underlying concerns were based on "nationalistic" sentiments he was accused by Christensen of being "dismissive" of community concerns. Despite China being Australia's largest trade partner, the picture is different when looking specifically at foreign investment. Coalition to add new national security test to Australia's foreign investment regime Read more Treasury officials told the hearing the top source of foreign direct investment into Australia was the United States (20.1%), followed by the United Kingdom (12.5%), Japan (11.4%), the Netherlands (5.4%) and Canada (4.6%). They said China was ranked sixth with 4.5% of the share of foreign direct investment. Christensen asked Irvine to describe what the Australian community at large thought about foreign investment, and in particular purchases made by state-owned enterprises. The head of Firb replied that "the starting point is probably that there is an underlying concern within the community in respect of foreign investment, that foreigners are buying up the farm, they're taking over, it's a nationalistic sense that our industry should be Australian – there are all those concerns and sentiments existing within the community at some point or other". Irvine said Firb would advise the treasurer – who makes the final decision on investment proposals that are subject to scrutiny – if there had been particular community objections so that those issues could be taken into account. But he said one of the roles of Firb was "to provide a partial assurance to the Australian community that foreign investment proposals are being looked at closely and the national interest is being taken into consideration". Christensen chided Irvine for that answer, saying he was "concerned about some of the stylising that Australians are out there saying they're against the farm being sold out and being nationalistic – it almost seems to be dismissive of those views". Christensen said there were "a lot of those views out there" and pressed Irvine to speculate on the result "if we did a poll of the Australian community and asked them whether they wanted foreign state-owned enterprises to be able to own Australian assets, land, companies". Irvine said he had been "watching criticism of various Firb decisions over a very long time" and called for facts to be at the centre of discussion. "Five years ago when I first entered the Firb the percentage of Australian agricultural land in foreign hands was about 13%, and I think it's currently about 13.2% or 13.3%," Irvine told the joint standing committee on trade and investment growth. "Maybe the response to community concerns is for the government to be doing more explaining of what those facts are and also what the benefits are of foreign involvement in Australian industry – be it agriculture or whatever – because there's no doubt that it brings benefit." Irvine later added that it was not just government but the Firb that "should be doing a little more to demonstrate the benefit to the Australian economy and community of foreign investment". He said one in 10 Australian jobs was dependent on foreign investment, while the average wage of an Australian employed by a foreign company was about $20,000 higher than the average wage paid by domestic companies. Irvine resisted attempts to make sweeping statements about Australian concerns about the actions of government-owned investors when pressed by Christensen. "With the greatest respect it depends what sort of state-owned enterprise investment you're talking about and where it comes from," Irvine said.

Roxanne Kelley, a Treasury deputy secretary, said Australia welcomed foreign investment "for the significant benefits it provides but we need to ensure investments are not contrary to the national interest, including national security". Asked what had prompted the reforms, Irvine said there had been significant changes in "the investment environment". One example he gave was that state and territory governments were increasingly divesting themselves of critical infrastructure. Irvine confirmed that the long-term lease of the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company on a 99-year lease in 2015 had not been subject to Firb review because of the laws that were in place at the time, but that had already prompted the government to make earlier changes requiring such proposals to be considered.

Poetic tribute to a city on the fritz:
'Adelaide has been the least vandalised Australian city. Melbourne has destroyed itself...BARRY HUMPHRIES
'Adelaide has been the least vandalised Australian city. Melbourne has destroyed itself completely,' says Barry Humphries, whose Ode to Adelaide celebrates the city's icons.
Melbourne's greatest artistic son, Barry Humphries, has declared that Adelaide is his favourite Australian city and says he never visits the Melbourne CBD any more because he is too saddened by the soulless metropolis it has become.
London-based Humphries, who turns 87 next February, also has revealed his fear that he may never see Australia again on account of the pandemic
Humphries says he has been reflecting on his mortality after a visit to Cornwall last month with chef Rick Stein where he returned to the cliff face where he fell and almost died in 1962 at the age of 27, sparking what was one of the biggest rescues in Cornish history
He says he yearns to return to Australia but worries the travel ban and toughening London lockdown mean he will be forced to remain in the UK indefinitely
Humphries spoke exclusively with The Australian after launching his poem Ode to Adelaide at London's South Australia House, where he paid tribute to the City of Churches for its old-world charms and credited it with being the first place he heard the word chunder, which he subsequently popularised in The Adventures of Barry McKenzie
I really do seem very disloyal to Melbourne," Humphries says

Sorry to show dead person but he is a martyr. PLANNED GENOCIDE OF CHRISTIAN YOUTH IN PAKISTAN This is a photo of 22 years old Christian man named Sarfaraz Masih. He is a resident of Muslim Colony, 9/9L Ganu Bhattian, District Sahiwal Pakistan. He used to work for a Pakistani Muslin landlord named Muhammad Irfan. His employer used to make him do extra work and used to torture him as well and paid him very little amount. They used to ask him to accept Islam so he can get better salary, less work and other luxuries. His employer used to tell him that if he and his family accept Islam then they can live a better life. But Sarfaraz never agreed with them and kept his faith on Jesus. When he didn't accept Islam his employer Muhammad Irfan and his companions got furious. They then put a noose around his neck and hanged him to death. After that they went something else. It's so sad to see that Police still has not registered a case against them even when it's a murder. The reason is that he is a Christian and for Pakistani government Christian life has no value. Even if police file a complaint, they will purposely make a very weak case to save the murderers. I urge Chief Justice and Prime Minister to take action against the culprits and punish them only then his family can have justice.

THE TRUTH: BLM VANDALIZE BRISBANE STREETS IN ANTI-POLICE PROTEST I find it utterly disgusting the way BLM continues lying to people in order to push their own political agenda. It is also pathetic they way other political parties refuse to push back. Here is what BLM, Labor, the Greens and even the Coalition won't tell you. The 2020 Australian Institute of Criminology report into 'Deaths in custody in Australia' noted that the 2017-18 rate of death in prison custody for an Indigenous persons was 0.14 per 100 prisoners, and 0.18 per 100 non-indegenous prisoners. This means that according to these figures you are more likely to die in police custody if you are non-indegenous. The same report also noted that the 2017-18 total deaths in police custody and custody-related operations was three Indigenous persons and 14 non-indigenous persons. Further more, In the 2017-18 year 79% of indigenous deaths in prison custody were due to natural causes. Some other facts from the AIC, which is an independent body, reveal that over the decade to 2018, non-Indigenous persons were nearly twice as likely as Indigenous persons to hang themselves in prison custody, and motor vehicle pursuits represented 38% of Indigenous deaths in police custody and custody-related operations. When One Nation tried to table these facts on the floor of the Senate earlier in the year we were denied by the Government, Labor and the Greens. This is why it is no surprise to see people still falling hook line and sinker for BLM lies.

This is why it is no surprise to see people still falling hook line and sinker for BLM lies. Show more

They are all MUSLIMS. And have not been fined. It's one rule for them and harder one for us. Here is the story: Members of five Melbourne households who visited each other's homes in potential breach of the city's lockdown rules are at the root of a fresh coronavirus outbreak that has threatened the state's bid to defeat its second wave. Thirty-four people who live in Melbourne's southeast have tested positive for COVID-19, with two understood to be undergoing treatment in hospital. Transmission occurred through household mingling, it emerged on Friday Health authorities revealed that they were forced to involve Victoria Police in a "painstaking" contact-tracing process, which proved challenging as links between the cases were not immediately obvious. None of those involved has been fined. Premier Daniel Andrews described the outbreak, which Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton had linked to the Afghan community, as "disappointing" ............ He said the investigation had found members of the five households travelled close to home for essential purposes, such as to the Fountain Gate Shopping Centre to shop, but also outside the permitted 5km radius from their homes. "So these five houses in this particular cluster have had unfortunately some members of those households visiting other households," he said

Public Service Must be reduced and pay for being Leftards scum and morons. Who pushed for the rabble off Black Gang members to be allowed into Australia and yet they deny same to Persecuted White South African farmers. This is criminal.

SCARED OF MUSLIM DICTATORS??? A Muslim leader in France has recently said essentially the same thing: "Islam is the second religion, the second community in France. Those who do not like us have only to leave France. France, we love it with its Muslim community or we leave it," said Abdelaziz Boumediene, President of the Movement for International Solidarity. Do Europeans think that this will be the last step? That "diversity," once attained, will be all the Arab Muslim communities want? But Islam has a 1,400-year history of supremacism. Do Europeans think that supremacist impulse will never reappear? Arab party wants all Swedes 'who do not accept diversity' to leave Sweden," translated from "Arabiskt parti vill att alla svenskar 'som inte accepterar mångfald' lämnar Sverige," Fria Tider, August 31, 2020: Politics. All Swedes who "do not accept diversity" are urged to renounce citizenship and leave Sweden. So writes the newly formed Arab Party on Facebook. "The Arab Party wants to ask all Swedes who do not accept diversity to renounce their citizenship and leave the country. You have nothing to do here, your Sweden that you want back is gone for good." As well as: "The Arab Party wants to arrange an emigration project for Swedes who do not like the situation, to facilitate integration and create community in the country." This is what the so-called "Arab party" writes in posts on Facebook that have provoked strong reactions on social media. Criminal Arab The Facebook group "Arab Party" was formed almost three weeks ago, at the same time as the party's domain address was registered. The website states that the party aims to "take responsibility for our people". Only those who have no criminal record for the past five years and have a university degree are welcome as members, it is claimed. It is unclear how many members the Arab party has, but the Facebook page has a little over 200 followers. The party is not registered with the Election Authority. The contact person for the party is a 33-year-old Malmö resident who immigrated to Sweden from Iraq in the 90s. The 33-year-old has been convicted of several crimes. In 2009, he was sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge examination for aggravated assault, assault, attempted assault, domestic violence and harassment. In 2017, he was again sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge test for illegal threats and harassment. According to court documents that Fria Tider has read, the 33-year-old is earning a living and has in recent years on a large number of occasions tried to appeal the latest decision on forensic psychiatric care.
