News today: It's going to take 2 years and $1 billion (probably 3-4 times more if past performances are anything to go by )to settle 12, 000 Syrian (there are now doubts as to how many are Syrian) country-shoppers. And there's the $44 million already blithely handed to Europe. All this at a time when the number of homeless Australians has risen, along with 6.2% unemployment (7.9 % in SA, where Premier Wetherill is blabbing about what he will do), and the strong possibility that there will be a rise in the GST and other taxes to cover the previous wild spending of OUR money. All to appease a Left minority of bleeding hearts and a media determined to oust weak Abbott anyway.

Australian mainstream media don't even need political strategists etc. to encourage them, many now produce reports with either 'white nativists' input (imported from the USA) or tinged with similar sympathies and language (to manipulate readers). Case in point Friday 11 September, C10/Fairfax created a negative meme targetting refugees ....
Does anyone know if there is any substance the story and/or claims emanating from C10/Fairfax Friday i.e. 'Aylan Kurdi's father is a "people smuggler"'? http://www.smh.com.au/world/migrant-crisis/aylan-kurdis-father-is-a-people-smuggler-woman-claims-20150911-gjkt2m.html This seems like a big 'dog whistle' to 'muddy the waters' before Canning, military action in Syria, and calls to do nothing for refugees.... This 'report' ws re transmitted by other media outlets in Oz, including NewsCorp, but only international reports were via a 'white nationalist' news site in the USA: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/09/11/drowned-aylan-kurdis-father-accused-of-being-people-smuggler-at-helm-of-capsized-boat/ and 'red top' tabloids in UK http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/604535/Aylan-Kurdi-father-people-smuggler-refugee-crisis This is not a case of US 'white nationalists' or 'white nativists' informing Australian mainstream media and how to 'dog whistle' on race etc., but Australian mainstream media informing the bigots in US and UK i.e. Anglo world on how to 'dog whistle' (without realising)? The dumb thing is, like Hungarian neo Nazi and 'blood and soil' types whom are quite confident of their own racial and genetic purity (not), yet have no comprehension of population demographics, which will lead them to extinction, so carry on.....

The Jews are a brilliant example of what happens when Millions of refugees(as the Jews were after World War 2) Are allowed to settle in someone else's back yard. Posted by CHERFUL, Sunday, 13 September 2015 8:47:42 PM

Except it isn't someone else's backyard.
The Arabs are the invaders, or hadn't you heard ? Posted by Bazz, Sunday, 13 September 2015 10:13:29 PM

Cherful,
That really is a disgraceful thing to write, in so many ways. There have been Jews in that part of the world for more than three thousand years. The League of Nations recognised their right to a presence there in the 1920s, and the United Nations recognise the state of Israel in 1947. You should be ashamed.

No I'm not ashamed, and I'm not attacking the Jews. But after World War 2 no country in the World would take the millions of Jewish Refugees from Germany, so the British to punish the Arabs for colluding With Hitler, gave them the land they now occupy. Millions of Jews poured into an Area that the Arabs considered theirs rightly or wrongly At the time. As soon as the British pulled out of Palestine, 3 Or 4 Arab states raced over and attacked the Jews. Because as I said they Simply did not want the Jews being given land in what they considered to be their land at that time. Not. In their back yard as I Stated. The Jews beat them, in 6days. It was called the 6day war. And I stand by what I said, that the Jews are a perfect example of the hostility incurred When millions of them were allowed to settle in what the Arabs(rightly or wrongly) regarded as their land. I Simply state the truth of what happened. You may be horrified by it but as I always say, the truth is the truth, No matter how much we would wish it to be otherwise. It is what it is.
