On Monday, 16 March 2020 the ABC broadcast an exposure on its Four Corners program about alleged war crimes in Afghanistan committed by Australian special forces soldiers.
The ABC is to be commended for bringing this issue before the public. In the course of the program we were told that the alleged war crimes had been under investigation for a period of four years. There was no explanation as to why the inquiry was taking so long, although its very links and the relative secrecy surrounding the inquiry does invite the cynical conclusion that there is no pressure being applied to bring the matter to the point where prosecutions are carried out.
The Nuremberg and Tokyo war crimes trials, which were vastly greater than the alleged misdeeds of Australian (and other) soldiers in Afghanistan were commenced and concluded in less time than this investigation has taken thus far.
Although the ABC is to be commended for bringing these allegations before the general public, it has taken a very long time. Other issues relating to the October 2001 invasion and occupation of Afghanistan have been known about for literally decades.
According to the ABC News website the first ever Parliamentary debate on Australian involvement in the Afghanistan war occurred in October 2010. It is astonishing that a country such as Australia could wage war on a foreign nation for the parliament to hold its first (and only?) debate years after the event occurred and that it continued for a further decade without serious parliamentary debate.
It is a similar situation with Australia’s involvement in the war on Iraq, which commenced with the allied invasion in March 2003. Although the matter was discussed in parliament at the time, the following years have also seen an astonishing paucity of debate.
To its credit, the Labor opposition opposed the involvement of Australia in the Iraq war, although they did absolutely nothing in the six years they were in power, 2008-2014 to give effect to their earlier opposition and withdraw Australian troops. The real history behind that reticence is yet to be written.
One suspects that the real reason for this reticence in debating in the parliament what is after all a matter of huge public significance, is the utter subservience of the Australian parliament to the wishes of the United States. That includes the latter’s propensity to wage war in one form or another on all governments that do not meet the requisite standard of subservience.
In early 2020 the Iraqi parliament voted unanimously for foreign troops to withdraw from their country unless invited to stay. The United States and Australia were manifestly not invited in the first place, much less invited to stay. The reaction of the two countries? The United States and Australia simply ignored the wishes of the sovereign Iraqi government. Their troops are still there.
Part of the Australian government’s justification for staying in Afghanistan was that they were “training” Afghan soldiers. The ABC Four Corners documentary made no mention of such a role, which is not to say that it is non-existent. What the documentary did show were Australian troops on patrol in areas where they were looking for alleged Taliban sympathisers or activists. If “training” consists of the murder of unarmed civilians then there are surely better activities to be involved in.
What the program completely failed to mention was the Australian role in Afghanistan heroin production. That industry had been virtually eliminated under Taliban rule pre-2001. The vast renewal of Afghanistan heroin production post invasion was not happenstance. As has now been well documented by United Nations studies among others, the United States has been the prime instigator of the revived heroin industry in Afghanistan, and its chief financial beneficiary.
It is a measure of the cowardliness of the Australian mainstream media that the role played by the occupying forces as the principal reason for the resurgence of the heroin trade is almost completely ignored. Of course, such dirty truths do not sit well with the official propaganda about the occupier’s benevolent role in Afghanistan.
If the recently concluded peace deal between the United States and the Taliban actually proceeds and survives, the United States will have to find another source for its worldwide heroin trade, just as they did after being kicked out of Indochina. Indeed, the British faced the same dilemma in the 19th century when they fought three wars in Afghanistan, not least of the reasons being the control of the heroin trade. The principals may vary, but the same game continues to be played.
The focus of the Four Corners program was clearly much narrower. It is difficult to see how the alleged war crimes in Afghanistan can be properly viewed other than in the context of Australia’s endless wars fought on behalf of its erstwhile ally, the United States.
That war was commenced on the basis of a fundamental lie, that Osama bin Laden had masterminded the attacks of 11 September 2001 in Washington and New York city. The Americans further alleged that the Afghanistan government had refused to surrender bin Laden to the American notion of justice. The Afghanistan government not unreasonably asked for evidence of bin Laden’s involvement in the 9/11 attacks. It was never forthcoming, not surprisingly as (a) it never existed; and (b) the invasion of Afghanistan has been decided upon months before 9/11 and had wider geopolitical goals.
While the Four Corners program is to be commended therefore for giving a public broadcast to grave allegations of alleged war crimes, it is not enough. Alleged atrocities carried out by an occupying army cannot be divorced from the reasons that took them there in the first place.
Australia is still waiting for an honest appraisal of its involvement in other countries wars of choice, almost invariably carried out for other than the officially professed reasons. Both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are classic illustrations of that point.
Afghanistan, like Iraq, is no exception to this general principle. As long as the ABC and other major mainstream media outlets continue to ignore these uncomfortable realities, the vastly greater is the likelihood of Australia yet again waging an illegal war on behalf of United States geopolitical interests.

Taliban “sympathisers” – “collaborators” – but let’s not be pedantic.
Abby Martin certainly asked the right questions – nearly six years ago – and still no answers.
US Troops Protecting Opium/Heroin in Afghanistan
4:35: “the US is at the very least nurturing the largest source of the deadliest and most addictive drug on the planet so you tell ME – what the occupation of Afghanistan is really about?”
On the following article
https://southfront.org/footage-shows-australian-special-forces-shoot-and-kill-unarmed-man-in-afghanistan/#comment-4837948767
One commenter writes
St. Augustine: “Four Corners is a standard propaganda outlet, very pro-American, pro-Neocon etc. so I’m interested to know what their goal is in revealing this specific incident.”
Could it be to actually undermine the trust in the traditional Australia Defence Force and expunge the – you-know – ‘** extremists” and replace them with a UN-controlled mercenary body?
BTW, I note that the deployment in question was in 2012 – who was the accountable Chief of the Defence Force at that time?
Julius raises an interesting point. Many in our military are patriotic but disillusioned. There is a drift against the US alliance, with 50% of military personnel opposed (as of 2016 survey).
Countering this, there are at least four thousand US military personnel in the NT, with the figure 2500 Marines quoted at every opportunity. There are Abrahm tanks stockpiled in Darwin warehouses. A news item… 2500 US Marines are about to commence training in the Top End. Training for what? Shooting the Territory occupation resistance? If you are a Marine you are already ultra-trained.
Have I proof of my assertions? Hell no. I merely overlay the pattern of the previous 57 American invasions and occupations. Works for me.
I wonder how this deal ended up?
Well I’ll be … !
Australia assigned to be the U.S. Policeman in the Pacific
https://alethonews.com/2020/03/19/australia-assigned-to-be-the-u-s-policeman-in-the-pacific/
Well I’ll be, too, Fish. That’s a March 19 article, 10 days ago, and it seems to be a Greek news outlet. Mind if I grab a paragraph?
“Australia wilfully wants to play a role that the U.S. assigned to them in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific so that it can more strongly assert its power on the region. Australia considers the small island countries of the South Pacific as an area within its sphere of influence. Canberra has a need to expand its weight in Southeast Asia, but finds this challenging as the region includes countries of larger populations and economies, such as Thailand and Indonesia.”
The author of that is Paul Antonopoulos
and
“Although Canberra [Morrison] wants to serve Washington’s interests in the region, Australia is a completely **deindustrialized** neoliberal country that does not have the means or capacity to challenge rising Southeast Asian countries and rather serves as a raw resource marketplace for the world. The U.S. is losing influence in Southeast Asia to China, and therefore Washington is relying on Australian support, hedging its bet on a common Anglo colonial-settler history to make Canberra receptive.”
I actually like the “Center for Syncretic Studies” [Paul Antonopoulos] – great thinkers – especially Joaquin Flores.
For those that might have missed it – off topic – but profoundly well thought out … (Flores narrating)
Critical Notices I – The Revolution Beyond Academia
Of course, I could be wrong about everything … aliens could be real
Julius – the very first sentence of that article you have posted a link to, and I Quote: The U.S. is ramping up pressure on Australia to support hostilities against China……..’ Says much about the authors thinking. For instance: Which country flouted international law that others on this site hold great ambitions for by annexing the Spratley Islands, a bunch of islands situated within International waters, and that China has no legal claim to, and that have been used for millenia as fishing grounds by several other countries, and for the purpose of erecting military bases to project China’s growing influence throughout the Pacific and the so very obvious strategic purpose of controlling one of the world’s busiest shipping routes.
The paragraph you have also included in the following comment is very suggestive of someone who writes from a desk or computer, and who has no real appreciation of this country’s strategic location and defence projection, and American interests in seeing that this country remains part of the Australian United States alliance.
Would you rather be speaking English or Chinese?
The ABC has a agenda and cannot be trusted.
The ABC has no credibility if it cannot expose the scientific evidence demonstrating that the collapse of three high rise steel structured buildings for the first time in history happened thrice on the one day on the one site, all falling within their own footstep and has never happened since.
The ABC are a tinfoiled hat collection of fools and nutters endorsing the rediculous unscientific official government 911 conspiracy theory.
Now they decide to pull Aussie soldieirs apart for actions in a war zone, the very war the ABC justified by endorsing the official government conspiracy theory that the Muslims did 911.
The ABC presstitutes are traitors to our soldiers and their families……… and our country.
Sell the ABC to CNN or Murdock or be charged with being a accessory to the aiding, covering for and abetting of the invasions killing a few million to steal their national assets.
When I occasionaly see ABC toadies on tv , i have to restrain from kicking in their hypocritiac sickening faces… ..( including appearances of our killer politicians) i would if I could afford another television.
I don’t agree with ABC now airing through a program that has been proven as driven by a political agenda certain accusations by ideologically driven folk who in all probability, have never ventured out of the ABC studio let alone into a war zone, where the real action takes place and a second’s hesitation could mean your own loss of life when confronted by an enemy, who is not uniformed, wages war without any rules of engagement, and will kill without warning even their own people, just to gain a political advantage.
Professional soldiers must be supported, otherwise we risk losing an important and strategic aspect to our own defence needs. Crucify enough of our soldiers for alleged incidents that lawyers get years to review, and pretty soon no one will step up to defend this country.
One must also take on board that the United States of 2001 is not the same United States of 2016. In fact, I had put up an article for a political party back in 2010 identifying the then United States as being an imperial power beholden to Globalist ideals and akin with its military actions, to Ancient Rome. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.
But, what has occurred since 2016 with the election of Trump, is a complete reversal of the American Imperial Empire that many have failed to notice.
So how does one reconcile the difference between an Imperial power pre – 2016, headed by selected American/Globalist presidents since Ulysses S. Grant, and the advent of a change in direction, and away from empire building, under the untouchable Donald J. Trump?
If the ABC wishes to push its anti-Australian agenda, especially if it involves the military, then where does one stop prosecuting soldiers for doing what they are paid and ordered to do – kill the enemy by any means necessary in order to win the battle and the war.
“… doing what they are paid and ordered to do – kill the enemy by any means necessary in order to win the battle and the war.”
I must have missed the memo! I go for a pleasant stroll outside and for the life of me, can’t remember who the freakin’ enemy is – let alone what battle we are in or what freakin’ war we have declared and are are fighting. The enemy must be Invisible and it must be a “Nameless War”?!
Wait – you almost had me – it’s from the babies on bayonets and babies tossed out of humidicribs playbook again, right?
I think I found a few of those “enemies” in Syria – go sick ‘em …
Syrian on his support for President Assad
Syrian spirit!
See Eva K Bartlett’s channel for as many more as you like. She has outed them all.
Julius – soldiers are professional killers. They act on orders from their commanders who act on their orders from the Government. If this trooper is charged with murder then it should not end there, but the trail should be followed all the way to the top of the heap to expose those who are the real murderers.
And more “enemies” here
Syria: Aleppo’s famous street market reopens after two years of closure
That one was just after Aleppo ‘fell’ after Russia got through “bombing schools and hospital and killing women and children” the first time around. Apparently they are at it again in Idlib according to Pompeo …
MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE
PRESS BRIEFING ROOM
WASHINGTON, D.C.
MARCH 17, 2020
”The Assad regime’s forces, backed by Russia and Iranian-supported forces, have been responsible for the continued bombardments that destroyed schools and hospitals and killed civilians, including medical professionals and first responders who were risking their lives to save others inside of Syria.
We continue to call for an immediate end to the slaughter and a political solution to the Syria conflict.
Additionally, we believe Russia has killed dozens of Turkish military personnel in the course of their military operations, and we stand with our NATO ally Turkey and will continue to consider additional measures to support Turkey and to end the violence in Idlib and in Syria more broadly.”
https://www.state.gov/secretary-michael-r-pompeo-remarks-to-the-press-6/
You do know, that Pompeo LIES, right ? He even admitted as much publicly, anything this mans says, unless proven with verifiable evidence, is a LIE.
Hey Eddy, you know that 99.9% of the population lies, right?
Pompeo: US will violate international law and be exempt from prosecution for mass murder.
How “inappropriate and unjust”!!
– Trump certainly likes to keep his enemies close and his friends confused.
But not to worry – I found some of your mates – the ’good guys’
The “moderates” protesting Russia/Turkey patrols on M4.
Julius – the ICC is a Globalist/Deep State court signed onto by the criminal, William Jefferson Clinton. Do you really need to know any more than that? China has built military bases in international waters that the ICC ruled against – what do you say to that snub by China?
“….. proecuting soldiers for what they are paid and ORDErD to do…”
About time we proscecuted the politicians and who are giving out the ORDERS and the msm covering to justify what the politicians do.
Go kill and thieve.
Then experienced soldiers come home and kill themselves……… wonder why, they are have not been defending ther/our nation, they realise that they have been killing and invading for the corporate control freak agenda.
Look up: ‘general Smedly Butler, war is a racket’.
Not able to link at the moment, but it might be timely for a gs realist do so to temind the ABC who it represents.
Sorry about mispels and shocking grammer.
“I don’t agree with ABC now airing through a program that has been proven as driven by a political agenda certain accusations by ideologically driven folk who in all probability, have never ventured out of the ABC studio let alone into a war zone”
If you haven’t been into the ‘abyss’, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and no idea how to weigh the actions of soldiers. I had a gut full of ‘liberals’ when I got back from ‘Nam and I’ve never given much credence to what they crap on about since then.
Terry, unfortuanetly for you, I too HAVE been in the ‘abyss’. 1968-1969 to be exact, at the ripe old age of 18 years, with 6 R.A.R. second tour. I disagree with your assumptions. No matter how much crap is flying thru the air, you are still a HUMAN BEING, there is NO EXCUSE for turning into an animal, ever. If you can’t hack it, get the hell out. No one is FORCING you to stay. Unfortuanetly, my service opened up my eyes to the FACT, that there are HOMOCIDAL people within the Australian Forces, who get off on the blood lust. This is even encouraged by the Officers to a certain degree, as evidenced very clearly in this ABC segment. EVERYONE KNEW what was going on, from the top, right down to the bottom. You even heard the exchanges from the other troops who clearly, were against what was going on.
So don’t try to give us the shite poor Aussie soldiers. These pricks bring the Australian soldier to disrepute, and MUST be weeded out post haste.
Eddy, you don’t know me or what I have been through. It is a bit presumptuous for you to lay all your assumptions on me. You have no idea how many atrocities I prevented, or, how many atrocities I may have committed.
I was the bloke that started the ‘group sessions’ for Vietnam vets back in 1984. May I suggest you go fuck your self.
Terry, grammatically speaking, when Eddy says “If you can’t hack it, get the hell out. No one is FORCING you to stay”. the pronoun “you” means “one”
“If one cant hack it, one does not have to put up with it.”
Eddy has argued with me over the issue for years, and i eventually have come to agree.
But the soldier who resists may have a sudden “accident” of course. Tillman?
An early evening post said that : ‘ ….since Trump’s election in 2016 , there has been a complete reversal of the American Imperial Empire ‘ .
I would’ve thought that a reversal of empire would entail a massive reduction in military expenditure , the appointment to key cabinet positions of sincere peace-makers intent on de-escalating the belligerent U.S foreign policy & the immediate extraction of U.S troops / bases from most every theatre of operations.
Instead, during his tenure Trump has appointed rabid neocon warmongers like Mike Pompeo , John (the Walrus) Bolton , Gina Haspel & Rothschild lackeys like Steve Mnuchin , Wilbur Ross , Larry Kudlow to name a few .
( A more beholden bunch of puppets to the Zio-cabal you’d be hard pressed to find ).
If that wasn't enough , Trump has increased military expenditure exponentially & initiated a troop surge to various hotspots around the globe.
This is what that earlier post refers to as a ‘ complete reversal of American Imperialism ‘ ??
One wonders what that individual's been smoking. Clearly very potent stuff .
Truth – do some real research. Under Obama the American military was largely de-funded, while China’s grew exponentially. The military also became heavily politicized – for instance: promotion into General Officer rank required applicants to have no qualms concerning shooting American citizens which is in direct contradiction of the Constitution.
China would have become the world’s dominant military/economic power if Hilary had gained the presidency. Trump has restored American might and rightly so, but not for the purpose that you suggest, but in order through diplomacy, to speak softly while holding a big stick. You and others on this site fail to see the change of direction that America and the entire world is now pursuing, but I can assure you, that if the presidency had gone to Hilary we would be fighting WW3 that China was going to win!
As I have put to Julius – would you rather speak English or Chinese?
Expand your thinking.
Tulsi Gabbard has withdrawn from the Dem race. William Weld has withdrawn from the Repub race. Possibly that means that a delegate or two devolves to the little guys in New Hampshire, such as myself.
At least you have the gumption to put your hand up. So, good luck to you Mary.
Good on you Eddie, it is very refreshing to see the Trolls on this site exposing themselves with displays of anger.
Would I rather be speaking English or Chinese ?
Well, if ‘ speaking English ‘ entailed prostrating myself in vassalage to the Anglo-Zionist Empire , & everything that this entails ( ie: the genocidal U.S / Israeli foreign policy , the ongoing implicit support for Israel & it’s human rights abuses against the Palestinians , control of the entire western financial system by the Rothschild / Zio-cabal who Trump answers to ) , then ……
…… give me Chinese every time .
Truth – not a big thinker are you. If you could think past your own ideals/biases you would soon realize that supporting anything that China does is not in the individual’s best interest who appreciates what western culture has given them – it is not a perfect culture by any means, but it has proven to be a whole lot more individual liberty and unalienable rights orientated than any Communist country will ever be!
You project the waning world control system, that Trump is currently dismantling, as being an inherent part of Western Civilization when that is not the case, and if you truly knew Western history, the kind that is generally hidden from us, and the kind that should be taught to our young then you would too realize why Western Civilization has been the leading light of the world, even with the shackles/controls that have been placed deliberately in its path.
If you support China over your own culture then you really are a very naive human being because the same system that you go to great lengths to abhor has also been responsible for the rise of China as America’s challenger for world top dog.
You really need to expand your thinking.
The Four Corners program has opened up a whole new world of click bait for those who cannot think past the first few seconds of what they click onto that is designed solely to play with one’s emotions. And, while providing no background detail for why such an action taken was carried out, the observer is left to deal with his/her emotions.
No one has asked what led up to the shooting, some call it an execution, nor has that been explained on the ‘click bait’ video of that Afghan cowering defensively in scrub, seemingly knowing what to expect from the trooper who shot him. That ‘seeming to know’ why he was about to be shot should tell the observer of such an act that there was more to this shooting than a trooper singling out an apparently unarmed afghan civilian, labeling him a nasty word in the process, that should also tell the observer that the use of such verbage would not be generated from unfounded anger, and has probably arisen from something that the troop have witnessed prior to this Afghan being cornered in a patch of scrub.
There have been many examples of Taliban and/or their supporters shooting up civilians/ coalition forces, and then throwing their weapons away when coalition forces have approached the scene of carnage, or gained the upper hand. I would be very careful alleging anything concerning that video – on face value it seems a man was murdered, but when the facts are trotted out as to what led up to the ‘murder’ cooler heads generally prevail.
There was an investigation into this incident, some years back – the trooper was cleared of any wrongdoing – but the ABC thinks otherwise. I say it is well past time to shut down the Communist branch of Australia, now known as the ABC.
Sell the Austalian Bullshit Conspirators. (ABC)
Take the sale price from the other fakes, save the taxpayer a billion per year, plus interest and reduce our deficit to the greedy controlling banker criminals and work to regain our sovereignty.
Bring back our home/Australian manufacturing industry so that we are not dependent on someone beig sick overseas for whom our traitourous politicians have been in cohoots with…… because they are stupid Un-Australians.
Stop selling Australia, many have died xefending us.
So ANZAC day reflections are being cancelled.
A kick in the gut to those who sacrificed, memories and reflections on their service to a future globalist freak show……..if only they knew. The platoon officer would have tied such traitors to a tree and had rhe sqad aim low.
How convenient for theNEW World Order to re-condition history for the dumbed down teachers to promote ignorance.
What soldier on the Kokada track would say….. not going there, I might get a mosquito bite and be sick
Our politicians are scared of mosquitos! Poor darlings.
Have ANZAC day and keep all politicians safe in their cells…… they are not invited.
Plus rhe ABC betrayers, stay home and be safe!
A lot of anger there Ned, and who can blame you for that, knowing all that has been made to happen to our once great nation?
Yes indeed.
Just as angry as a sage with a whip outside the Pharisee’s synagogue to be reminded of in a few weeks.
Upturn the bastards!.
believe in timely coincidence?
Ned – I missed this comment earlier. You have my thumps up!
Nemesis , the ‘ Western Civilisation ‘ that was represented by the Founding Fathers who drafted the Declaration of Independence which had ‘ no foreign entanglements ‘ as the core of its foreign policy , this was indeed something to aspire to.
But , the murderous foreign policy of Trump is the antithesis of that golden era .
So, in your opinion I’m ‘ not a big thinker ‘ ? I take that as a badge of honour coming from you .
Seeing as ‘ big thinking ‘ & ‘ expanding my thinking ‘ means, according to your twisted logic , accepting U.S implicit support for Israel’s human rights abuses against the Palestinians , the endless waste of gentile blood & treasure in pursuit of Israel’s hegemonic ambitions.
I want no part of that. No human being with a conscience would want that .
I suggest you report back to your Mossad handlers & tell them your disinformation campaign isn’t working on the inordinately well informed Gumshoe subscribers .
Nemesis, as to your statement that I ‘ support Chinese culture over my own ‘ , it should be evident that if given a choice between two evils ( ie : alliance with the U.S or with China ) , the U.S regime under Trump ( as it was under Obama & Bush 43 ) , is by far the greater evil ( certainly from the standpoint of morality ) .
I do not choose alliance with either of these. There is a 3rd option.
That option is INDEPENDENCE. Australia is a sovereign nation ( at least nominally if not in actuality) , & we should have the autonomy to pursue those policies that are in OUR nation’s best interests.
You know Nemesis, I really get a good belly laugh out of your preposterous assertions .
Take for instance your claim that under Obama , the American military was largely de-funded.
When Obama was inaugurated , the U.S defence budget may have been equivalent to (approx) the defence budgets of the next 12 countries COMBINED.
Then, under his tenure , due to budgetary constraints , this dropped down to being equivalent to the next 11 countries combined.
Oh, deary me , how tragic for the poor little U.S.A.
Do you see how RIDICULOUS your assertions are Nemesis ? The Gumshoe readers don't take anything you say seriously.
At least if you’re going to make a claim , make sure you have at least a smidgeon of credibility backing said statement .
As for your claim that ‘ the system ‘ has been responsible for the rise of China as challenger for America’s top dog position..
There is no ‘ SYSTEM ‘ responsible for China’s rise.
The Chinese are an industrious people. Freed ( under Deng Xiaoping ) from the shackles of Mao’s pure communist doctrines, their entrepreneurial spirits had been unleashed.
Coupled with their frugal lifestyles & propensity to save ( unlike the Americans who live beyond their means ), they became the world’s greatest creditor nation.
The U.S was once the world’s greatest creditor nation – a time when the U.S was indeed a great country.
But that time has passed. The U.S economy is based on financialised fluff .
When the U.S dollar ceases to be the world’s reserve currency ( that time is fast approaching ) , the jig will be up & that house of cards ( aka the U.S economy ) will have come fully crashing to the ground.
That day can’t come soon enough .
Truth – Pat Condell sums up your champion perfectly.
https://youtu.be/NRD-9-STnvQ
Pat Condell – he certainly has been quiet this past year.
At 2:56: … “Like the million Muslims in China right now incarcerated in what they call re-education centres, where they’re forced to eat pork and drink alcohol …”
Looks like he has suddenly found a bigger enemy to ‘humanity’ than Islam.
Looking at (and having some familiarity with) some of his previous titles (and he does make some good points, BTW)

I never heard of Pat Condell .
And , after listening to his 5 minute fact free outpouring of venomous bile , anyone who takes this guy seriously is not the full quid .
Thanks Fish for the listing of some of Condell’s previous output.
It tells you everything you need to know about this guy – he’s evidently an anti-Islamic mouthpiece for his Zio-controllers .
This one, delivered with the same ‘passion’, sums up Pat Condell’s sickening hypocrisy.
Ha Ha Islamophobia
Perhaps we should add subtitles to a couple of his titles
• Sweden Goes Insane – Barbara Lerner Spectre Celebrates
• Boycott Halal – BDS Kosher
(P.S. I had no idea until he exposed himself with this latest outburst of projectionist hateful bile.)
Julius – as I have previously mentioned – truth can be quite unpalatable for some. I have studied Islam for over two decades. How about you – what do you know about Islam and its history? I have nine articles concerning Islam, along with other’s articles, many of whom are apostates from Islam, and/or Muslim, in the Australian National Library, within islammonitor.org listed as research.
These are writers who have become only to aware of why Islam is promoted by Western authorities, while Christianity is constantly under attack.
Do you truly believe that these writers who have experienced Islam up close and personal, have no qualification as to what they warn about?
It is the 24/7 controlling aspect of Islam that has always been the problem – a problem that Winston Churchill and Mark Twain even mention in their travels. Even Sheik al Tawhidi warns us of this aspect to Islam because it indoctrinates the fanatic.
Pat Condell has lived in the midst of some of the worst things to ever occur in Britain while authorities fearful of being labelled ‘racist’ turned a blind eye to, and are still turning a blind eye to – the grooming of young girls from the age of 10 to 16 by well organized and politically protected Muslim grooming gangs. Some of these young girls have been murdered by the same thugs.
And according to Bedfordshire Police – these types of incidents have been ongoing for forty years!
Do you truly believe that such an horrendous systemic abuse of young British girls, by Muslim grooming gangs, and none of the victims have been Muslim BTW, is the figment of many Britons imagination?
Interesting too – is that both you and Truth, avoid entirely, the subjects that Pat Condell raises in his many videos that go to the heart of what is destroying Western Civilization rather than face up to the truth that Pat Condell presents, and that resonates with millions around the world.
You’re on the wrong path, both of you, if you dismiss out of hand what Pat Condell has exposed in his videos.
And Julius I would remind you, As George Orwell quoted: ‘In the age of deceit, the telling of Truth becomes revolutionary’. As in your ‘hateful bile’ deflection to the reality of the Truth.
Expand your thinking.
Nemesis , some weeks ago in one of your posts you told us that you had served in the military .
You revealed quite a bit about yourself there when I got under your skin with the Anna Baltzer video & you called her a traitor – as if a video about a Jewish woman commenting on the horrific human rights abuses suffered daily by the Palestinians in the Apartheid state of Israel could in ANY way be interpreted as traitorous to Australia .
Of course, if you were a dual citizenry Israeli national , I could see how you would come up with that hysterical response .
So, you say you’ve studied Islam for over two decades.
Hmmm …. I’m curious . What compelled to you study Islam for any length of time – let alone for over two decades ?
I mean, very few Aussies that were not of Arabic background and/or career academic would commit so many decades to studying such a topic .
Mind you, if you had a dog in the race & it turned out that your military service was with the IDF , I could see how the Israeli government would actively encourage its defence force ( & Mossad affiliated ) personnel to pursue such studies & likely even subsidise it .
C’mon Nemesis, why don’t you come clean ?
Tell us more about your ‘ military ‘ service .
Truth – Why don’t you simply log onto islammonitor.org and read for yourself why so many, and there are many on that site, give Islam such a bad rap?
There is much to read there of historical fact as recorded.
I spent some years as a member of the NSW police force in general duties, and have first hand experience of the Islamic sense of superiority from many of its followers, which is the catalyst for my learning about Islam and Islam’s world agenda. Many on this site choose to shrug off such warnings as the ‘religion of peace’ that they have been indoctrinated with, and therefore, does not fit their world view.
My registered Police number was 31774.
Remember that educational box I have hinted at that traps many folk who just cannot seem to look out of?
Maybe, your lack of interest in that regard best serves your own purpose?
As for my military experience, I spent three years in 5/7 Battalion as a rifleman (infantry) stationed at Holsworthy, NSW. My service No was 223723
And as for Anna, anyone knowing of her behaviour and activism, cannot fail to appreciate that she is a traitor to her own people, and there are many like Anna, but is generally the case with liberal American Jews.
And you wrote: ‘C’mon Nemesis, why don’t you come clean?’ LOL! I hide nothing intentionally!
And i forgot to add. Read the book, ‘Beersheba’ by Paul Ham, mainly concerning the Australian Lighthorse during WW1, in what was then termed by the British as, Palestine. The book is well written and contains many anecdotes about Australian exploits in the middle east. But, what you’ll find most interesting is the complete divorce between the Arab and the Jew, except in some locations, but generally, a hostility that was encouraged by British occupation to further Britain’s own agenda in carving up the middle east.
You will come to the conclusion that the Arabs and the Jews were not always at each other’s throats in the Holy Land until the arrival of the British.
No doubt the chapter on Australian reaction against the Arab village of ‘Surafend’ will get your blood boiling.
Can’t wait for your reaction!
Meanwhile, for those of you still clinging to the notion that we should maintain our alliance with the U.S & are still not put off by the preemptive genocidal wars of aggression that the U.S wages on hapless peoples around the world, you should consider this :
Yes, Clinton administration Secretary of State Madeliene Albright’s remarks have been heard by all of you ad nauseum but they’re worth repeating.
This witch of a woman lost no sleep over the decision to sacrifice 500,000 CHILDREN in Iraq ( in pursuit of Israel’s hegemonic ambitions ) .
As if that is not enough proof of the lack of conscience shown by the depraved previous U.S foreign policy , we have this going on under the even more depraved Trump administration :
Bottom Line : U.S foreign policy has killed , maimed , orphaned , displaced & dispossessed tens of millions of poor 3rd world inhabitants since 9/11 .
This is well documented & irrefutable .
But , IN ADDITION to actual decimation of said communities by direct military action , the depraved Trump administration has dialled up on steriods the SANCTIONS placed on nations with an independent foreign policy & these sanctions are a form of ECONOMIC GENOCIDE that is killing & starving millions more in places like Venezuela , Iran & Nth Korea , to name just a few .
When will Australians wake up ?
Our alliance with the U.S should end now &, when & if a future President M.A.H.A ( Makes America Humble Again – at least from a foreign policy perspective ) , perhaps someone like a Rand Paul (?) , then & only then can Australia reconsider reestablishing a relationship that acknowledges Australia’s absolute autonomy in all matters .
Truth – you have so much to learn.
Expand your thinking – I am giving you a good road to follow.
My feeling, although could be totally wrong.
The role model, for the emerging one world dictatorship, is CCP.
Supported by crown and supervised by usual suspects.
56 – my feeling about you, and from what I have read in your comments, is that you have come some way in understanding how this world is controlled.
You are correct in citing the CCP as the role model for One World Order. And I would add that China has many Western towns that represent Western cities that have no one living in them, yet no one seems to be aware of why exactly they were built in the first place.
Maybe, those towns were waiting for the survivors of this current ‘pandemic’ to occupy them?
So Nemesis , you say I should read the book by Paul Ham .
Is it kosher to read a ‘ Ham ‘ book ?
