Crucifixion OK with Mideast politicos
Islamic radicals also endorse cutting off hands, whippings
Posted: December 30, 200811:16 pm Eastern© 2008 WorldNetDaily
The political arm of a radical Islamic group has approved a new law that allows traitors to their government to be crucified, thieves' hands to be chopped off and someone guilty of drinking alcohol to be whipped.
According to a report in the Jewish World Review, Hamas, which was elected to government power in Gaza, over Christmas week adopted penalties included in the Shariah criminal code for the Palestinian Authority.
The report said Hamas endorsed "nailing enemies of Islam to crosses" even as it was renewing its jihad by lobbing missiles at day care centers, schools and travelers in line "to travel to Bethlehem for Christmas."
According to the online military news resource Strategypage, Hamas "believes it is better to be feared than loved" so it instituted the new laws.
"When word of its new laws reached the Western media, Hamas denied it. But in Gaza, the Arabic media made it clear that the new laws were very real, even if embarrassing when trying to explain it to the infidels," the site's commentary said.
"The ancient barbarity of crucification (sic) is brought back to life on the same week as British television broadcasts a 'Christmas message' from the radical Islamic president of Iran," noted the online page for One Jerusalem, a group established to unite people behind the concept of keeping the city away from division.
Right Side News Reports said, "Christians better wake-up as Hamas is bringting back the 'crucifixion' of Christians, Jews and anyone else who does not conform to their ideology."
A participant in the site's forum page said, "Anyone who isn't following the teachings of the Quran is an infidel to them, and according to the Quran they must convert or be killed. So wake up world! That means if you are Jewish, Christian, Gay, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, and so on, and you are not Islamic, you are an infidel to them and they must convert or kill you. They don't care if you are an adult, child, or an infant."

No 'capital punishment? Officially, anyway...
In our ""free"" society, you can be jailed for as little as a traffic 'violation'. And going to jail could mean your death (not to mention the physical/psychological abuse but that's all par for the course). Not just being brutally murdered by your fellow prisoner's:
Prison deaths fall into two categories - natural and unnatural death. An unnatural death can be defined as murder, suicide or drug overdose. All deaths by drug overdose and suicide by hanging remain questionable because prison murders can be staged to look like suicides or drug overdoses. The term "unnatural death" is more appropriate than the official version of suicide or drug overdose.
The “sleeper hold”, which cuts off blood to the brain by exerting pressure on the carotid artery, is a legacy that resulted from practices employed by guards to control unruly children in Queensland juvenile institutions.
The products of state-run juvenile institutions carried the practice into the adult prison system where it is now used as a weapon for murder - a technique employed to render victims helpless before they are strung up to give the appearance of suicide by hanging.

Why not make it easier to murder prisoners by denying media access into prisons? Oh, they've already done that. Clever little bastards.
This world is a brutal place, there is no denying that.

Police claim the need for speed if working under cover
December 16, 2008 12:00am
POLICE officers speeding without lights and sirens can avoid fines if they are on a covert operation, it was revealed yesterday.
The NSW Police Force claimed more than two thirds of officers issued with traffic fines while on duty last year were able to later get their fines dropped after a review of their circumstances.
The Daily Telegraph revealed the Office of State Revenue issued police with 1433 fines, mostly detected by fixed speed cameras, after all obvious lights-and-siren pursuits were culled.
But NSW Police yesterday said that 1063 of these officers later appealed internally to have their fines quashed, claiming they needed to speed for covert operational reasons.
A police spokesman said there were occasions when police needed to travel at high speeds without lights or sirens.

Hypocrisy, corruption... just another day at the office.

Pool-safety review to hit wallet
12:00a.m. 15th December 2008
Owners of backyard swimming pools could face annual inspection fees of up to $300 under the biggest shake-up of Queensland’s pool-safety laws in nearly 20 years.
The proposed changes, unveiled by premier Anna Bligh, include a state register of pools and mandatory inspections.
A pool-safety advisory committee will be established to look at key areas of pool safety, with new regulations ready to be in place next year.
A single statewide standard to replace Queensland’s existing 11 pool fencing standards would be considered, and the review would also address concerns that pool fencing laws were not being adequately policed.
The president of the Local Government Association of Queensland, Paul Bell, said the premier had failed to mention the cost of the planned inspections.
“The LGAQ, which has not been consulted on the proposed legislation, calls on the government to ensure Queenslanders with backyard pools know that they will be up for annual inspection fees of between $200 and $300, based on what private building certifiers charge for simple building inspections,” he said.
“In most instances, councils no longer perform building inspections, following the introduction of private building certifiers a decade ago by the Beattie state government.
“It is likely councils will have to receive private building certifiers’ reports annually and have certifiers do return inspections on pools which do not comply.”
Ms Bligh said the new committee would be given wide-ranging powers to consider issues including:
Developing and maintaining a register of swimming pools in Queensland
Requiring mandatory ongoing inspections of swimming pools.
Inspections on rental properties (similar to safety switch and smoke-alarm inspections).
“Some of these options may be controversial but any option that could help save even one child from drowning is worth considering,” Ms Bligh said.
http://www.thedaily.com.au/news/2008/dec/15/pool-safety-review-hit-wallet/
That said, someone is going to making a lot of money from this. Rent-seeking, lawl.
But this kind of thing happens all the time, all over the world.

Who is the target of homophobia?
Heterosexual man takes legal action over 'gay taunts'
A married father-of three who claims he was the victim of homophobic taunts from colleagues after they found out he lived in Brighton is bringing an anti-discrimination test case.
By Matthew Moore Last Updated: 1:46AM GMT 01 Nov 2008
Stephen English, who is heterosexual, says he was called a "faggot" and "Mr Franglais" by fellow members of staff at the blind and awning firm where he worked.
He alleges that the barbs began after a sales manager discovered that he went to boarding school and now lived in the Sussex seaside town, which has a large gay population.
Mr English, who has been married for 20 years and has three teenage children, decided to take legal action after his attendance at Brighton's Gay Pride parade wearing "skin-tight Lycra cycling shorts" was mentioned in the Thomas Sanderson Blinds in-house magazine.
His lawyers told the Court of Appeal that Mr English had tried to ignore the innuendos but "over the passage of several years he found it increasingly upsetting.
"The court must now decide whether EU employment law designed to outlaw bias on the grounds of sexual orientation covers homophobic abuse of a man whose colleagues knew he was heterosexual.
Mr English's case, which is funded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Employment Appeal Tribunal, which said that Britain's failure to properly enforce EU employment laws created an "unsatisfactory state of affairs".
Thomas Sanderson denies any wrongdoing.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it really shows the hypocrisy in society where it's ok to taunt a heterosexual man for being gay, but not a gay man.

Cartoon porn kids are people, judge says in Simpsons porn case
AAP
December 08, 2008 12:15pm
CARTOON characters are people too, a judge has ruled in the case of a man convicted over cartoons based on The Simpsons, in which children are shown having sex.
In the New South Wales Supreme Court today, Justice Michael Adams ruled that a fictional cartoon character was a "person" within the meaning of the relevant state and commonwealth laws.
Alan John McEwan was appealing his February conviction for possessing child pornography and using his computer to access child pornography.
"The alleged pornography comprised a series of cartoons depicting figures modelled on members of the television animated series The Simpsons," the judge said.
The cartoons showed characters such as Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson having sex. McEwan was convicted and fined $3000 and placed on a good behaviour bond.
"In my view, the magistrate was correct in determining that, in respect of both the commonwealth and the NSW offences, the word 'person' included fictional or imaginary characters ...," the judge said. "... The mere fact that the figure depicted departed from a realistic representation in some respects of a human being did not mean that such a figure was not a 'person'."
In dismissing the appeal, the judge ordered each party to pay its own legal costs in the first case dealing with the "difficult" issue.
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24767202-2,00.html
This comes under "thought crime" as far as I'm concerned. Besides, what if you're innocently browsing the web looking for Simpsons pics and you accidently download an image of Simpsons porn? It just gets worse and worse.
You don't even need to have images on your computer. They can be easily planted there by police. A great way to take you out of the game by ruining your reputation and draining you of your finances.
The state once again goes too far.

Welcome to the jungle
Bully gang runs family out of Lismore
Exclusive by Bruce McDougall
December 01, 2008 12:00am
THE grieving family of 14-year-old bullying victim Alex Wildman have fled their Lismore home after a campaign of terror and intimidation.
Starting in mid-October, three months after Alex's suicide, thugs began driving past their home every hour, threatening to "burn, bash and kill" anyone in the house.
The ordeal escalated when the boyfriend of Alex's sister Josie was attacked in the street after asking a group of local men to leave them alone.
The family claim they finally quit the town for their own safety at the suggestion of police.
Stepfather Bill Kelly told yesterday how he packed up Alex's mum Justine, sisters Josie, 17, and Lizzie, 10, and brother Nathan, 7, and moved to an undisclosed location.
"I put my wife and the kids in the car and started for Sydney. Carloads of these people were driving past our home day and night. They threatened to burn, bash and kill," Mr Kelly said.
Alex and his family moved to Lismore, on the NSW North Coast, at the beginning of the year.
Their troubles began when the Year 9 Kadina High School student took his own life on July 25 after a series of violent run-ins with schoolmates.
Fellow students said the "placid six-footer" had been "picked on" after a school fight.
Mr and Mrs Kelly are now pressing for changes to the way in which bullying incidents are handled and the treatment of victims.
"We were terrorised out of town. I was the school bus driver but neither of us is capable of working at the moment - trauma upon trauma has been heaped on us," Mrs Kelly said.
Richmond local area command crime manager Detective Inspector Steve Clarke confirmed the family made a complaint about intimidation but refused to comment on the nature of any advice given to the family. He said no charges had been laid over the allegations.
Mrs Kelly said they had never been allowed to grieve properly because they became entangled in red tape over Centrelink payments and housing. Of major concern to the couple is that Lizzie and Nathan have not attended school for five weeks because of the disruption.
"I have had enough of watching my wife run around government bodies," Mr Kelly said.
"Since Alex has gone Justine has not been allowed to grieve."
The still traumatised family said they were not given adequate counselling and had been forced to bunk down with relatives.
"There are 11 people sharing a three-bedroom house and one bathroom," Ms Kelly said.
Lawyers for the family are collecting evidence of bullying in a bid to find out why Alex took his life. Ballina law firm Dakin Law has called on witnesses to provide information about bullying to be presented at an inquest early next year.
Merv King, who was Lismore mayor when Alex died and who called on the community to unite in the fight against bullying, said he was unaware the family had been forced out.
"Families in this type of trauma should be looked after," he said.
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24729815-5001021,00.html
Bullying is what happens whenever you put a large group of people together. They did a study once - by putting a bunch of popular kids in a camping trip, from different schools. What happened was, a minority got picked on, despite being popular kids at their school (I'll post the link up once I find it).
The problem is, school is supposed to be for learning, not trying to survive an uber-gladiatorial arena where only the lucky survive. Home-schooling is the best option. But this would ruin the bureaucrat's plans of teaching kids to submit to authority (ie. compulsory schooling). Hence we have a conundrum on our hands.
Regarding the story, the fact that it got to the stage where the bullies drove the bully victim's family out of town and nothing was done about it is quite alarming.

Rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape and more rape...
In my corner of the world, this is what is currently happening. Decisions originating from bureaucrats, filtering down to their labourers and enforcers, which all in turn ends up affecting the individual in various ways that are at best a minor hinderance.
From this article:
South-east Queenslanders shouldn't fear that drinking water will soon include recycled and desalinated water as well as fluoride, Premier Anna Bligh says.
Ms Bligh has launched an advertising campaign ahead of the introduction of fluoridated water, which will be available to 90 per cent of homes in the state's south-east by the end of December.
Flouride in the drinking water?.. Despite the debate as to health risks and the ethics of it. No matter what their real purpose is to forcibly mass medicate millions of people.
Another issue, which I am keeping a close eye on, is the proposed mandatory internet filtering program which is part of the policies of the current Australian government.
From this article:
The government has declared it will not let internet users opt out of the proposed national internet filter.
A good discussion of this proposed internet filter is here.
More information when it comes to light...

Purpose of this blog
This blog is merely going to be reporting on the incursions of individual liberty that is currently happening, mainly localised to my preferences but also possible global developments.
I'll mainly include news articles, possibly adding my own commentary as well.
