But the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union says three weeks of two-hour meetings twice a day were crucial to warning its members about the Turnbull government’s policies before the July 2 federal election.

The Federal Court yesterday heard workers at the Commonwealth Games site at Carrara in May clocked on at 6.30am for coffee and toolbox meetings until 7.30, before the first two-hour union-led “communication meeting” about the Coalition’s plan to overhaul the building code and revive the Australian Building and Construction Commission. That flowed straight into a half-hour smoko until 10am, an hour of “very little” work until the second union meeting from 11am to 1pm. A half-hour lunch break was followed by about an hour of work, before the workday finished as early as 2.30pm.

The meetings forced construction to largely grind to a halt at the Games venue, cost head contractor Hansen Yuncken $700,000, and threatened to delay the finish date of the ­sports complex, which will host the opening and closing ceremonies, athletics, badminton, weightlifting and wrestling at the 2018 Games.

Fair Work Building and Construction told the Federal Court yesterday the meetings were “unlawful, ­illegitimate and unconscionable” and aimed at coercing Hansen Yuncken into signing a new ­enterprise bargaining agreement.

FWBC barrister Jim Murdoch QC said there was no evidence the meetings were legitimate information sessions, with workers simply sitting or lying around in the site’s car park and having barbecues in gazebos adorned with red CFMEU flags.

Bosses of major construction companies Brookfield Multiplex and Hutchinson Builders swore affidavits that the CFMEU held pre-election stop-working meetings at some of their projects, but the disruption was nothing compared with that suffered by Hansen Yuncken.

Just about every day we are privileged to hear from a Grand Lady who personifies our Western civilisation.

Liz of Vic has lived the range of experiences life can throw at us - from sublime joy at life's new creation to its extinguishment in Hitler's industrial extermination factories.

I am so grateful to have Elisabeth in my life.

Thank you to Liz and to all our friends here who share their wisdom in the hope that we might learn.

Here's Liz with some memories triggered by the Centenary of the great battles of the Western Front - and the war that followed the War to End All Wars.

Lest We Forget.

Hello Michael,

During this time, when we look back and remember the first World War, I always have to think back to WW2.

Yesterday I thought back to May l995, when I happened to be living in Holland for some time. I lived in the apartment of my brother, who was apprenticing for his priesthood in one of the Churches, where he also lived.

It was a two-story apartment, My sister lived downstairs and I lived upstairs. There was a stair-case in between.

Josee and myself were having lunch one day, when we heard the sound of many planes coming over. It must have been nice weather as we had the balcony-doors open, we both became quite agitated and felt creepy, as the planes continued to fly over.

Josee went to close the balcony-doors and I put on the television to see whether anything was on the news and all of a sudden it dawned on us that it was exactly fifty years ago that we were liberated,  it was the fifth of May.

We also then realised that the planes, which were flying over were the Lancasters, which used to come over  night after night during the earlier years of the war and during the last year. Of course it was giving us the creeps again as it had before.

By this time, we had opened a bottle of wine and talked about a lot of the events which we remembered as clearly as though it had happened the day before.

Where we had lived was close to the end of the suburb we lived in, not far away were the farmlands, where we often had to go to on our bikes to try and get some stuff from the farmers, as there was not a lot in the shops.

There was the time when we had to go a long way before we found a farm who still had some things we could buy. We remembered that day as it was the only time we got some real milk, it was pure white, I could not believe that it still existed. The milk we bought was decidedly grey, we had not seen white milk for years, it also was the day we nearly got killed.

We laughed about it, but at the time we were scared stiff, as all of a sudden planes came over when we were on  the way home and they were german I could see the german cross, and they were coming over awfully low, so as we were still passing meadows and there are usually ditches along the road, I said to Josee, drive into the ditch and  lie down bike and all and I will lie on top of you so they won't see you, as she was green with fright.

That is exactly what we did and it was only a minute or so later when they came over again,  a few seconds later we heard shots and a long time later we got out of the ditch and we saw that our dresses were full of mud and we looked a sight. We were really more upset about the state of our dresses (of course there were no jeans then) as my mother was terribly strict and we would get into trouble, that was for sure. Anyway we had to repack our bikes as we had vegies and the valuable milk, nothing was broken, the bikes were fine so after a while we got going.

When we got home we got indeed into trouble and I don't think my mother believed the story I told her.

However the next day she heard a story, that the planes which had come over had shot some people, who were seriously wounded, we then remembered the shots and we had seen some other people, but we overtook them as we were always in a hurry.

So Ma finally believed us.

There was also the time we found a pilot, my sister had woken up early and had heard a lot of noise and shooting, we did hear that all the time at night as when the English came over to go and bomb Germany the Germans in our area were shooting at them, but Josee thought it was pretty close by and we should go and have a look before Pa and Ma woke up. We got dressed and slipped very quietly out of the house and off to the meadow and yes there was a parachute, it is amazing how big those things are, there were metres of silk and then we thought we heard somebody it was still quite dark and we kept very still and then we heard it again, then we saw where it was near some bushes something moved so we went hand in hand very slowly and it was a man, he could hardly speak, he pointed to his leg and it was in a weird position, so we then realised he spoke English, well we could understand that, and I told him that I would go and get my father and the doctor, so I ran home and my father got some clothes on and he told me to get my bike and he got on his, I went to the Doctor told him where the man was and by the time I got back My father had made the man a bit more comfortable as he had brought the blanket of his bed.

Anyway a long story cut short, my Father got a few people of the resistance and they took care of Peter, he had been the pilot of the plane and they got him to a safe place and eventually he got back to England safely, it took some months as he went via Spain, but after the war he came to see us.

We had a niece who was a seamstress, she made us blouses and slips out of the silk of the parachute, I remember that I had those blouses for years and years, you could not wear them out.

There are quite a few stories, that I have written as I always thought this war must never happen again. This is one of them.

Just thought I send you this, just for something different.

Love from Elisabeth xx

Lest We Forget.

Sheik Shady speaks out in favour of Islamist Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Mohammed Morsi tried to do to Egypt what Erdogan is doing to Turkey.

Egypt's military did to Morsi what Turkey's military tried to do to Erdogan in a coup.

An Egyptian military chief is now the President of Egypt and Morsi is in gaol facing a death sentence.

Mohamed Morsi^{[note 1]} (Arabic: محمد محمد مرسى عيسى العياط‎‎, ALA-LC: Muḥammad Muḥammad Mursī ‘Īsá al-‘Ayyāṭ, IPA: [mæˈħæmmæd mæˈħæmmæd ˈmoɾsi ˈʕiːsæ (ʔe)l.ʕɑjˈjɑːtˤ]; born 8 August 1951) is an Egyptian politician who served as the fifth President of Egypt, from 30 June 2012 to 3 July 2013, when he was removed by army chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi after the June 2013 Egyptian protests and the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état. He was the first democratically elected head of state in Egyptian history.

As president, Morsi issued a temporary constitutional declaration in late November that in effect granted him unlimited powers and the power to legislate without judicial oversight or review of his acts. The temporary constitutional declaration was called for a referendum, an act that his opponents called an "Islamist coup". These issues, along with complaints of prosecutions of journalists and attacks on nonviolent demonstrators, brought millions of protesters to the streets in the 2012 Egyptian protests.

On 30 June 2013, protests erupted across Egypt, which saw protesters calling for the president's resignation. In response to the events, Morsi was given a 48-hour ultimatum by the military to meet their demands and to resolve political differences, or else they would intervene by "implementing their own road map" for the country. He was unseated on 3 July by a military coup council consisting of Defense Minister Abdul Fatah al-Sisi, opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, the Grand Imam of Al Azhar Ahmed el-Tayeb, and Coptic Pope Tawadros II.The military suspended the constitution and established a new administration headed by the chief justice.

When the military deposed him, the President of the Australian Council of Imams Sheik Shady gave this sermon to the Australian Islamist faithful.

What's become of Egypt's Morsi?

A court in Egypt has confirmed a death sentence handed to ousted President Mohammed Morsi for his involvement in a mass prison break during the 2011 revolution.

Morsi was overthrown by the military in July 2013 following mass protests a year after he took office as the country's first democratically elected leader.

How did he end up in court?

Morsi was elected president a year after an uprising brought an end to Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule. During his 12 months in power, Morsi was seen by many Egyptians as preoccupied with establishing political control rather than tackling economic and social problems.

On the first anniversary of his taking office, opponents of Morsi organised demonstrations that saw millions take to the streets to demand his resignation. Three days later, then military chief - and now president - Abdul Fattah al-Sisi overthrew Morsi.

The interim authorities subsequently launched a crackdown on Morsi's supporters, in which more than 1,400 people were killed and thousands detained.

Morsi and his top advisers were held incommunicado by the military for several months before prosecutors began filing charges against them. He has since been detained at a high-security prison near the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.

---

What has he been convicted of?

DETENTION AND TORTURE OF PROTESTERS

In the first verdict issued against him, Morsi was sentenced to 20 years of hard labour in April 2015 after being found guilty of ordering the unlawful detention and torture of opposition protesters during clashes with Brotherhood supporters outside the Ittihadiya presidential palace in Cairo in December 2012.

Morsi was, however, cleared of inciting Brotherhood supporters to murder two protesters and a journalist - a charge that could have carried the death penalty.

PRISON BREAKS

In May 2015, Morsi and more than 100 other people was sentenced to death after being convicted of colluding with foreign militants - from the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and Lebanon's Shia Islamist Hezbollah movement - to organise a mass prison break during the uprising against Hosni Mubarak. Morsi was being held at Wadi Natroun prison in January 2011 when armed men overcame the guards, freeing thousands of inmates. He and his co-defendants, including senior Brotherhood officials, were also found guilty of the murder and kidnapping of guards, damaging and setting fire to prison buildings and looting the prison's weapons depot. In June 2015, a court upheld the death sentence against Morsi and 98 others after consulting Egypt's grand mufti.

ESPIONAGE

Morsi was also given a life sentence in May 2015 after being convicted of conspiring to commit terrorist acts with foreign organisations to undermine national security. Sixteen co-defendants, including three Brotherhood leaders, were sentenced to death after also being found guilty of leaking state secrets to a foreign state.

Prosecutors alleged that the Brotherhood had hatched a plan in 2005 to send "elements" to military training camps run by Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Revolutionary Guards in Iran. Upon their return, they joined forces with jihadist groups in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and helped create the instability that triggered the 2011 revolution and plagued Egypt afterwards, they said. The sentences for Morsi and his co-defendants were confirmed by a court in June.

---

What about the other trials?

Morsi faces separate trials on the following charges:

• Endangering national security by leaking state secrets and sensitive documents to Qatar, which supported him as president, and the Doha-based Al Jazeera network
• Fraud in connection with the Muslim Brotherhood's economic and social programme for Egypt's recovery, called Renaissance (al-Nahda)
• Insulting the judiciary by naming a judge in a public speech and accusing him of overseeing fraud in previous elections

---

What does Morsi say?

Morsi has rejected the authority of the courts.

Image copyrightAP

At the start of his first trial, he shouted from the dock that he was the victim of a "military coup".

"I am the president of the republic, according to the constitution of the state, and I am forcibly detained," he asserted.

Since then, Morsi has been forced to sit in soundproof glass cages in courtrooms, which officials say are designed to prevent him disrupting proceedings.

---

Are these show trials?

The prosecution of Morsi is taking place amid a wider crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, which President Sisi has vowed to wipe out.

Morsi's supporters have said the trials are politically motivated and attempts to give legal cover to a coup. They claim they are based on unreliable witnesses and scant evidence.

Human rights activists have said Morsi's right to prepare an adequate defence has also been undermined.

In 2014, the UN warned that Egypt had "a judicial system where international fair trial guarantees appear to be increasingly trampled upon" after more than 1,200 people were sentenced to death in two mass trials "rife with procedural irregularities".

---

Could Morsi be executed?

Image copyrightEPA

Judges have already sentenced to death several other senior figures in the Muslim Brotherhood, including its general guide, Mohammed Badie. However, none have so far been executed.

All death sentences have to be sent to the grand mufti, Egypt's highest religious authority, for his opinion on whether they should stand. But even when the grand mufti gives his approval, convictions are still open to appeal.

Experts also believe a death sentence for Morsi would be unlikely to be carried out. H A Hellyer of the Brookings Centre for Middle East Policy said it would "represent an escalation by the Egyptian authorities that they do not appear willing to engage in".

Brotherhood leader Amr Darrag said the confirmation of Morsi's death sentence was a symbol "of the dark shadow of authoritarianism that is now cast back over Egypt".

---

What's happened to Hosni Mubarak?

Mr Mubarak was charged with conspiring in the killing of hundreds of protesters during the 2011 uprising. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in 2012, but the Court of Cassation overturned the conviction and ordered a retrial in 2013. The charge was dropped in November 2014, but in June 2015 a judge accepted an appeal from prosecutors and ordered a retrial. Mr Mubarak is residing in a military hospital in Cairo, where he had previously been detained.

ACCC raiding CFMEU's Canberra headquarters, branch secretary says

Construction, Mining, Forestry, and Energy Union (CFMEU) ACT branch secretary Dean Hall says the Canberra headquarters are being raided by the competition regulator.

The ABC has seen what are believed to be at least two Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) representatives inside the building in the suburb of Dickson.

In a statement, the ACCC said it was executing search warrants in Canberra but did not specify the organisations it was targeting.

Mr Hall said the raid began at about 8:30am and was related to evidence presented to the trade union royal commission.

He said up to 20 officials from the ACCC and Australian Federal Police were involved.

"We are fully cooperating with officers from the ACCC. It is concerning though that so many resources have been pumped into our office again, for the second time, to exercise a search warrant," he said.

Mr Hall said the union had nothing to hide.

"The AFP officers left pretty early once they could see we were cooperating," he said.

"[The ACCC] are going through all computer material and office files in relation to a lot of matters, in regards to negotiating enterprise bargaining agreements for wages and conditions of workers."

Last year the ACT Supreme Court found the Australian Federal Police (AFP) acted unlawfully when they raided the CFMEU's headquarters in Dickson in August 2015.

PS - who says the CFMEU and CBUS are too close?

Joined at the hip more like!

Yesterday we spoke about the emails leaked or hacked and published by Wikileaks.

One insight is the effectiveness of the Clinton/Democrat relationship with media and media management.

Here's Hillary with her take on Trump.

Dark hey?

The dismissive way the Democrats spoke about race and culture is a real insight into their duplicity. Reminds me of Slater and Gordon.

But ultimately it won't be media management or racism that keeps Hillary Clinton from the White House.

Her lies will be one factor.

But even more than that - it's her blatant corruption and favours for friends that will stop her.

As we watch Erdogan's Muslim Militia taking over secular Turkey, it's important to understand the Muslim Ummah or global Muslim nation.

Pauline Hanson is correct - we need to have a diplomatic position on dealing with the Ummah.  Is the Muslim Ummah a nation that's a friend or enemy, an ally or a threat to Australia?

Turkey purges police after attempted coup

WARNING: Graphic content

AROUND 10,000 Turkish troops have been detained and raped, starved and left without water for days, according to Amnesty International.

The human rights group claim that the detainees, who were imprisoned after the failed military coup, are being held in stables and sports halls, The Sun reported.

In a statement Amnesty said they have “credible evidence” that the detainees are being beaten and tortured, in official and unofficial detention centres across the country.

The report comes as Italy’s minister for integration Cecile Kyenge tweeted what was happening in Turkey right now was unacceptable.

“What’s happening now #Turchia is unacceptable. I invoke a European response to the correct height,” her translated tweet said.

Amnesty International’s Europe director John Dalhuisen: “Reports of abuse including beatings and rape in detention are extremely alarming, especially given the scale of detentions that we have seen in the past week.

“The grim details that we have documented are just a snapshot of the abuses that might be happening in places of detention.”

The group has called for immediate access to prisoners after the coup a week ago which sparked a brutal crackdown and a three-month state of emergency.

Pauline Hanson is correct - we need to fully understand the Ummah versus the purely spiritual elements of Islam.  That is to separate the political from the religious.

Biography Of Walid Shoebat

For the record, my name is Walid Shoebat. I used to be a radicalized Muslim willing to die for the cause of Jihad until I converted to Christianity in 1994. As a member of the PLO I was involved in terror activity, and was imprisoned in Jerusalem for three weeks. In prison, I was recruited to plant a bomb in Bethlehem as a result of which, thank God, no one was injured. My mother was an American and my father a Palestinian Arab. My parents sent me in 1978 to the United States to study at Loop College in Chicago Illinois. There I was recruited at a hotel “Terror Conference” by Jamal Said, a founder of the IAP (Islamic Association of Palestine) and Imam at one of the largest mosques in Chicago. The IAP was a forerunner to today’s Hamas terror organization and also to the terror front group CAIR (Council for American Islamic relations). This was in the early 1980s when I was being trained for Jihad activities in the USA along with many other young foreigners as well as US citizens. The Imams were the prime recruiters for terrorism then as they are still today and terror conferences are held all over the USA to this day.

Erdogan Holding U.S. Tactical Nukes At Inkirlink Taking Control Of The Second Most Powerful Army In NATO And Is Hailed As Mahdi

By Walid Shoebat

Turkey, in less than 24 hours was occupied by Erdogan’s pro Muslim Brotherhood militia and entered the U.S. base where tactical nukes at Incirlik are held. Period. Plain and Simple. Yet there are no headlines in any media that reveals this global catastrophe in this way. Why?  

Even the air base, which is used by NATO and stores US tactical nuclear weapons, has been invaded by Erdogan’s militia. The militia entered the base in southern Turkey on Monday, state-run Anadolu news agency reported, adding that the investigation is connected with the coup attempt. The electric power supply to the base has also been cut off, forcing the US military to switch to its own internal power supply in order to resume its anti-terrorist campaign in the region.

This is a “bingo” for the Erdogan-Obama plans.

Are you listening?

Here, let me explain Erdogan for Dummies. Islam gained Constantinople in 1453 by Muhammad the Conqueror and according to Islam, lost it when the Ottoman’s were wounded in 1924 with the abolition of the Caliphate. The secularization of Turkey meant that Constantinople needed to be re-conquered. This has been the grand-dilemma for all Muslims. According to Muslims worldwide, Erdogan “the Prince” fulfilled a prophecy.

Erdogan a month prior prophesied hinting that he, with his Muslim army (not secular), will conquer Constantinople. This is major, for the conqueror of Constantinople according to Islamic prophecy is The Mahdi. In Islam, “Many Muslim scholars from various countries will set out to seek the Mahdi … “We are looking for the Mahdi (a.s.), who will end this Fitna (strife) and conquer Constantinople”. Islam has its own version of Armageddon involving Constantinople where:

“The greatest war, the conquest of Constantinople and the coming forth of theDajjal (Antichrist) will take place within a period of seven years.”

In Islam this is done without weapons:

“The conquering of Constantinople by Muslims will occur without a fight and their weapons in that day will be by chanting (Allahu Akbar)”.

فتح القسطنطينية على المسلمين بدون قتال وسلاحهم يومئذ التكبير والتهليل وبقيادة المهدي

This is exactly what happened, the Islamists controlled Turkey on July 15th without a war. Tons of Muslims rejoiced referring to Erdogan fulfilling the prophecy. Even Syrian revolutionists tweeted on July 16th:

“in Erdogan’s era, people entered Islam by the droves and Constantinople was conquered yesterday by chanting Allah Akbar”:

It is time to now watch Erdogan, not just as leader of Turkey, but also as a prophet for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Erdogan repeated the words of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam saying: “Lataftahanna al-Qustantiniyya” (Thou shall conquer Constantinople). This “Thou” is the Mahdi. It was Erdogan’s prediction he made hinting to his people:

“Erdogan in Arabic: Lataftahanna al-Qustantiniyya wa lani`ma al-amiru amiruha wa lani`ma al-jayshu dhalika al-jaysh.”

“Translation: Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will her Prince be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!”

This “Prince” (Ameer in Arabic) is now Erdogan (the Prince who is to come in Daniel), this army is no longer the Turkish secular army, but his Muslim Brotherhood army. Erdogan had converted the police in the past to be Erdogan’s Muslim militia. He established a militia as well and while some American conspiracy theorists were worried that Obama will do this in America, here this happened to the second most powerful army in the world in Turkey.

This conquering of Constantinople (Istanbul, al-Qustantiniyya in Arabic and the New Rome) by Mahdi was a dilemma as to how can Erdogan orchestrate this since “it is a prophecy still to come”?

Well, it was self-fulfilled, right in front of all Muslim eyes, especially that this prophecy is to be fulfilled by The Mahdi of end-times.

Here, watch, a month ago, Erdogan regenerated this prophecy. Watch him say it in Arabic, and watch the crowd giving him allegiance: “Lataftahanna al-Qustantiniyya wa lani`ma al-amiru amiruha wa lani`ma al-jayshu dhalika al-jaysh.”

After reading this article, if you have an hour and a half, to understand all this, watch the typical Muslim understanding explained by renowned Sheikh Imran Hosein on the conquest of Constantinople in Akhirulzaman (end-times) by Mahdi:

Erdogan heavily armed his Muslim Brotherhood militia and now over 6,000 secularist soldiers have been arrested after Friday night’s attempted coup and now they must be humiliated and paraded in the nude just as ISIS paraded Iraqi soldiers and then piled up and crammed like sheep, even tortured inside mosques.

Here, behold the Turkish military who were used as scapegoats by Erdogan’s pro-Muslim Brotherhood militia:

These soldiers were stripped of their uniforms and made to lie next to each other after being arrested

It is obvious that a Muslim Brotherhood is beating soldiers

 

 

The torturing of Turkish soldiers is also happening inside mosques.

Behold Turkey’s top secular generals conquered and humiliated:

Even pro-Muslim Brotherhood reporters from TRT alongside what appears to be obviously bearded Islamists participated in slaughtering a Turkish soldier ISIS style:

Islamists are not the only ones who blow themselves up. This is a suicide mission of every American who voted for Obama.

Erdogan has been preparing for this ‘conquest’ for months. Here, behold Constantinople, or Constantine The Great. If you hate Constantine and the Apostolic Succession, then Erdogan is your man who agrees with such hatred in this magnificent display where Islam destroyed Constantine and the Cross in the most lavish show created by Erdogan’s regime. In this he destroyed the crucifix, Constantine, and even displayed the flood of water (the red dragon spewing flood out of his mouth, Rev 12, watch 6:21) which swallowed the Christians who were drowned by his flood. Here, Revelations speak for all who hate Constantine the Great:

Erdogan staged a plan. He enters Istanbul just as Ayatullah Khomeni did at the Istanbul airport as a new conquering hero. He has made a peace covenant with Israel. The media in Turkey hated it. So now he closes them down. He then fired all the judiciary and arrested thousands of the secular police. This was the perfect Reichstag right from Hitler’s book. He created his own militia and now controls the military were only 10% of the Turkish army sides with Erdogan. Several times, the army refused to enter Syria taking orders from Erdogan. He had to do something. In January he said that he will use Hitler’s tactics. Even Erdogan’s classmate says that Erdogan used to “walk around with a copy of Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’”.

Entering the dark haul, the Hitler of the Muslim world and listening to him mesmerize the crowd as Hitler should be quite the wakeup call. This is not a Hitler who is calling for an Arian race, but an entire globe under the rule of Allah and his messenger, to rule Spain and crush the Trinity:

Erdogan says in this video:

“Praise be to Allah the lord of the two worlds [this world and the underworld] where ownership belongs to Allah alone, victory is to Allah alone. He has no associates [denouncing the trinity]. In the pathway we came out asking Allah to strengthen our feet on the straight path …We have dressed up in our shrouds and are prepared to confront as did Sultan Alparslan We have believed as Sultan Saladin. That victory is not from the sword but comes from Allah. We have went to the path after we have burned the ships of return behind us as did the conquerer of Spain Tareq Benziad.”

Erdogan wants Italy and Spain. He wants to be Tariq Bin Ziad, the conqueror of Spain. He wants to be the tyrant Alp Arslan and Saladin. These are the Muslim leaders who fought against Christendom and he also wants to be Saladin who conquered Jerusalem. He wants to be all in all. He wants to “declare war on the strongest fortresses” to “advance his foreign God”, Allah, through warfare.

When it comes to Antichrist, most hold on to a verse or two as evidence to their personal theories on who this man is. I am convinced, through countless verses, Erdogan or someone after him will emerge leader of a beast, the most dangerous foe to God’s people, but the dilemma is convincing God’s people.

One of the first things Rudd set out to do as PM was to secure a role for Australia (read himself) on the UN Security Council.

Australia was never going to be big enough for Rudd.  

I interviewed Julie Bishop about Rudd's outrageous strategy on 9 March 2009. Ms Bishop said of Rudd's plan:

• It's highly politically contentious
• Rudd is horsetrading to curry favour with UN member states, particularly the many Muslim states (bugger Israel, they've only got one vote)
• We should not pursue the seat "at any cost"
  
  • either financially 
  • nor by compromising our principles.

http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2016/07/rudds-history-with-islam-the-united-nations-and-free-speech.html

You might recall Rudd was trading away free speech in favour of a statutory crime of defaming Islam.   He was also shovelling money into African states as quickly as they could deliver bags.  No wonder he had a howl when his Party turfed him, The Rudd had it all laid out ahead of him.

Something truly awful happens to some people when they dip a finger into the UN/celebrity/big money gravy train.

I really believed Julie and her profession of faith in the pre-eminence of Australia's principles.

She struck me as honest and uncompromising.

But that was then.   This is now.

Here's Julie witnessing our country signing a dodgy deal with the criminal Clinton's "charity" foundation.  The agreement on the table was to cover up for the first fraudulent Clinton HIV Aids entity that was deregistered by authorities in the US (if I was in the newspaper business I would add as exclusively revealed here).

The Clinton Foundation will come back to bite anyone who has had any involvement in it very soon.  The bites will be very, very big and painful.

Here's Julie not compromising Australia's principles by taking money from the House of Saud to promote the fundamental Waleed Aly Sunni version of Islam.   The one that funds terrorism.   The same fundamental Islam that Islamic State follows.  Saudi Arabia is a pariah, a rogue state - but not to New Julie.

Oh and the Security Council seat Rudd thought would be his - became hers.  Here's Madam President.

Julie Bishop and Chairman Mal look very happy about supporting KRudd in his bid to run the UN

The depth of this relationship worries me.  I've met them both and had a lot of dealings with one of the pigeon pair - how anyone could rate Rudd is beyond me.

This from The Australian, February 2013

As she flits about the Beach Club in her designer frock and high heels, posing for photographs and waving as tipsy patrons yell "hey Jules!", Bishop looks like a 50-something Carrie Bradshaw.

This is the Julie Bishop we don't see on television.

The girly girl who drinks pink champagne, throws lavish parties and loves a chat. The fashionista born in stilettos, who fancies Escada clothes and Kailis pearls, and counts being serenaded by Bono as her career highlight. The charming flirt who has been known to leave stuffy male diplomats slack-jawed.

Her friends struggle to understand why this colourful, energetic woman seems so prickly on television.

"Julie is a party girl, she loves kicking up her heels. In the public eye you have to be careful how that manifests itself."

And with whom. This from Fairfax November 2014

.

New York: Julie Bishop has revealed she and Kevin Rudd became close friends as a result of Labor's leadership wars and has suggested the Opposition's Foreign Affairs spokeswoman, Tanya Plibersek, is a lightweight on foreign policy compared to the former Labor prime minister.

In an exclusive interview with Fairfax Media, the Minister for Foreign Affairs says she consulted Mr Rudd on policy issues in opposition and the pair still text each other about foreign policy.

The pair entered politics together in 1998 but first became friendly when they observed Zimbabwe's election together in 2002.  They have stayed in touch ever since but Ms Bishop said they developed a "much closer friendship" as a result of Labor's bitter leadership battles.

"Through some of the really difficult times for him, I would go around and see him, he would come around and see me, we talked a lot about foreign policy, We talked a lot of about different approaches, I ran ideas past him," Ms Bishop said.

"We rarely disagreed on things," she said but said they did discuss the one major difference – Labor's bid to sit on the UN Security Council, which Ms Bishop and then opposition leader Tony Abbott regularly mocked.

"He knew that the Opposition had taken a position from 2007 on the Security Council and we would discuss it quite openly," she said.

 

 

And then there's Chairman Mal and his public declaration of devotion.   He's felt Kevin's pain.

 

The way these people close ranks, putting each other first before their country makes me feel ill.

PHILADELPHIA — Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, said on Sunday that she would step down from the role at the conclusion of party’s convention this week after a hack into the party’s internal emails revealed she and top aides had actively attempted to undermine Senator Bernie Sanders’s presidential bid.

Leaked DNC Emails Confirm Democrats Rigged Primary, Reveal Extensive Media Collusion

There are three key findings to emerge from yesterday's dump of leaked DNC emails released by Wikileaks:

• There had been a plot designed to smear Bernie Sanders and to hand the Democratic nomination to Hillary on a silver platter
• There has been repeated collusion between the DNC and the media
• There has been questionable fundraising for both Hillary Clinton and the DNC

First, a quick recap for those who missed the original report, yesterday Wikileaks released over 19,000 emails and more than 8,000 attachments from the Democratic National Committee. This is what the whistleblower organization reported: 

 

 

WikiLeaks releases 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee -- part one of our new Hillary Leaks series. The leaks come from the accounts of seven key figures in the DNC: Communications Director Luis Miranda (10770 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3797 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer (3095 emails), Finanace Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish (1472 emails), Finance Director Allen Zachary (1611 emails), Senior Advisor Andrew Wright (938 emails) and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails). The emails cover the period from January last year until 25 May this year.d

Subsequently, the Romanian hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 (who has denied he works with the Russian government), who has already released hundreds of hacked DNC emails previously, told The Hill he leaked the documents to Wikileaks. 

An initial read of the thousands of emails in the data dump reveals top officials at the Democratic National Committee privately plotting to undermine Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, confirming a long-running allegation by the Sanders campaign who has claimed that the DNC and Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz had tipped the scales in favor of Hillary Clinton during the party’s presidential primary. They also reveal instances of media collusion as well as various questionable instances of fundraising.

Plotting Against Bernie Sanders

In an email from early May, DNC CFO Brad Marshall wrote about a plot to question Sanders’s religion. While not naming the Vermont senator directly, it talks about a man of “Jewish heritage” Marshall believes to be an atheist. It makes reference to voters in Kentucky and West Virginia, two states that were holding upcoming primary elections.  

 

 

“It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist,” the email says. 

“AMEN,” DNC Chief Executive Officer Amy K. Dacey replied.

Marshall did not respond to a request for comment. But he did tell The Intercept, which first noticed the email, “I do not recall this. I can say it would not have been Sanders. It would probably be about a surrogate."
