Answering AA question
"AgentAjax: “interesting thanks for bringing it to our attention. I wander how long is it going to be before countries start taking over countries in Europe? There has been talk of it lately that to some degree it will become unavoidable. The reserve bank dropping interest rates , you have to ask yourself why since we have a mini boom in Australia. I’ve just changed jobs and I get phone calls at least once a month from previous companies I worked for, virtually begging because they cannot find skilled people to fulfil those positions. I don’t know if the world is heading for a depression but it sure smells like it."!

Goes to the very likely crash of monetary system, instability (eg increased people movement) same thing occurred during the last depression, an aspect of cause effort in motion...

RE: A Political Question

i accept Katters club would get a few, the greens probably pick up another couple.
Perhaps the Nationals might get there act together instead of second fiddling to the whims of the Lib's, dunno doesn't appear to be enough seats out of the cities to really make a difference. I registered in Fisher on the Sunshine Coast which is held by Minister Slipper who has done a good as far as I'm concerned. He is member the Liberal Party and has got my vote in a number of past elections. Apparently he is being stabbed in the back by a National Mal Bruff.
An itinerant elector I was moved into Fisher by virtue of a boundary change a long time ago, Minister has always done the right thing by me. After listening to past National leader Anderson and Senator Hill left i lost quite lot faith in the Nationals, though Warren Truss is ok and Barnaby Joyce tried for a while, there doesn't seem to be much effort being put into the party. Katter deserted the Nationals, so did one the independence,so you ask an interesting question. As the major parties appear hell bent on fleecing the people and Australia, the forests, minerals something like MLP (which is what Katters is trying to do) might be a good place to drop ones vote

Well well, Iceland had a referendum whether the people wanted to repay banks for ripping there country off with loan shark loans written in other currencies and i link linked to futures trading, anyway the people said NO and institution after institution in the UK mostly fell like flies. Now it seems Greece is seeking a referendum from the people which probably at the very least would break up the EU

RE: our Asylum seekers... when is it enough

In 1991 Merri the coalition of the willing killed hundreds of thousands of Muslim, mean time Muslim in Indonesia were killing thousands of Christians in Timor, Ambon and in other places as well lots of people in Irian Jaya, on and on a cycle of killing mostly engaged in by god-fearing people. Then you look at the same people jumping up and down over a bit of dupe.
Greece was found in a previously undisclosed American funding package (derivative contracts) to have borrowed a billion more $ than Greece disclosed in its EU financial statements. Now it looks like Australian Wheat and Greasy Wool futures contracts are in-boiled in missing derivative contracts topping $900 million, with a couple of hundred million of those having already been located.

Its my assessment it’ll all lead to WW3, I know you might think otherwise and that’s your right. But if you think all Australians haven’t noted the attempts to infuse large numbers of dedicated Muslims into western countries I think your wrong, and if you also believe cheesecake has more reality then so be it.
I do not think AA is wrong regarding the gross misuse of young minds by cleric’s of either persuasions who constantly appear to mislead young minds about reality.

RE: our Asylum seekers... when is it enough

i think i stand a lot closer to your view AA. Least you've got your eyes open and your head out of the sand.
Picked up on an interesting event on tele tonight, perhaps you might like to consider the following AA, oh AA its not the twenty boat people without life jackets that drowned while heading to Australia today story, na its likely whether you'll soon be able to buy bread or not.

MF Global files for bankruptcy

Federal regulators have discovered that hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money has gone missing from MF Global in recent days, prompting an investigation into the company's operations.

Some thoughts posted on the nytimes site:

.........a fundamental tenet of Wall Street regulation: Customers’ money must be kept separate from company money". Isn't this ineresting. You can't Mix monies!! Oh My!!!

Why did congress give the Wall Street Bankers access to depositors money in 1999?? This is one of the reasons why there is a OWS movement.

The American depositor was protected by the Glass-Steagall Act of 1932. Monies (from commerical banks, inother words, deposits)couldn't MIX with Investment Banks monies. This law protected us until 1999. That year, the Glass–Steagall Act was repealed and the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act in 1999 was put in its placed removing that protection. The speculating bankers can now use your money on deposit for investment purposes. In fact, 60 trillion dollars of derivative contracts were transfered from MLynch (investment arm of BofA) to its retail arm which has 1.2 Trillion in deposits. Oh! If there is a credit event on the 60 Trillion and the Bank collapses and this most likely will happen, the depositors are 2nd in line to collect their money. Wake up America!! Who said bankers are stupid.

"The agencies said they were concerned that MF Global lacked a sufficient capital cushion if its $6.3 billion in European debt went bad. The firm took a gamble in buying the bonds of Italy, Portugal, Spain and Ireland in 2010, calculating that they would soon recover. They did not.

RE: our Asylum seekers... when is it enough

Since about 1984 i think there has been some number more than ten million immigrates into Australia, the birth rate of Australian has i think been lower than deaths yet the population has increased by 10 million since about 1984 as there were i think 12 million. But the percentage of increase is still probably less than when they flooded Australia with Pome and Convicts in percentage of population already in Australia prior to the illegal boat people at that timetongue

RE: our Asylum seekers... when is it enough

The Vietnamese also came with violent karmas, meany of them had known nothing else for the best part of there whole life, however in the main most I think they fitted in really well.
There are genuine reasons why some people cannot access normal immigration procedures and end up in leaky boats. I visited Vietnamese near Mersing in Malaysian refuge camps, took notes out for relatives and posted them, most just wanted to let others know where they were, also at that time boat people were being shot by the Malays. It was really sad, the Vietnamese had been lied to by Western countries, deserted into the hands in the communists, when many of that had worked on our side of the conflict.

People should not be just welcoming hundreds of thousands of people with money and scorning others because they have none, its morally wrong to exploit the weakest and most vulnerable and at the same time feed off the dreams of others just to make a buck

RE: our Asylum seekers... when is it enough

Australia used to have a national carrier qantas and that's forefront this weekend, its board of directors a right likely bunch
< >

People have a right to engage in peaceful protest, John Howard had horses charging into peaceful protesters in Melbourne a few years ago, not just pushing up against them the horses were charging into the protesters protesting against the free trade talks. They protesters out numbered the people in the meeting by a long country mile and represented the views of meany Australians and had every right to protest. Couple a weeks ago it was report one person the mayor of Melbourne called up thuggery that engaged in violence against peaceful protesters sitting having a sit-in on public property that they had with as much right to be there as anybody else, and one public servant directed that the police uphold his view about the public properties usage. I challenge you to wonder into a police station and demand the riot squad be deployed to remove a group of peaceful people sitting about on public property.
The protesters were protesting the uneven sharing of the wealth of Australia at the hands of a greedy few.

Qantas will stop all domestic and international flights from 5pm (AEDT) on Saturday 29 October until further notice. This is in response to the damaging industrial action by three unions - the Australian Licenced Aircraft Engineers Association (ALAEA), the Australian International Pilots Association (AIPA) and the Transport Workers Union (TWU).
