F.H. the order was not critical in my post. Its just a list.

Regarding Syria... Actually there should be in brackets after that (IRAN) because my understanding is that Syria is obliged to Iran due to some 'cheap oil' kind of deal, and Iran needs Syria to keep hezbollah going and becoming stronger. So, perhaps the list should be shortened to 'Iran/Hezbollah' if you consider how many have been killed.
I can't really imagine Mossad doing it, but stranger things have happened.

I'm more concerned for Melbourne, and out abysmally managed police.
The police are great.... its the politicians pulling strings who are the problem.
Look at this video and see what happens to the little girl police woman after the protesters walk through police lines. So predictable and culpable on the part of the moron who decided to make front line crown control an 'equal opportunity' thing. (i.e. its not equal anyway, the girls are much MORE likely to have their skulls cracked by protesters than the guys)

Looking for a place to put James Packer who reckons Australia's media lanscape wil change in the next few years. Reckon it has already with nary a comment from a dumb public about an also dumb son of a very shrewd and hopefully intelligent father.

A gallant lad who decided to become an Aussie emblem by staking all his money on gambling.

If this is now just part of honest ordinary earning, surely Maynard Keynes proved a real prophet before he died when he declared Australia's future lay sadly in casino capitalism.

“I post on several blogs around the world and wherever you go the Islamaphobes tend to be the same people denying climate change. Strange coincidence?”

Well Kevin so do I, and I don’t notice the particular prejudice you refer to.

If it does exist then perhaps it’s got some thing to do with the,
a) Importance the issues are given in media and politics anyway, and,
b) The fact that some posters do bother to do a modicum of homework, and
c) They do have the education and life experiences to be able to make sensible judgments, and
d) Actually do bother to read widely, and do comprehend material a bit better than the average bar fly.

In the last 24 hours, for example, and I repeat, for example, here are two pertinent additions:

1. This I by a Melb. PhD. Math’s/Stats student who has bothered to look at the trend in day/night temperatures, over each 6hour time slot

Sort of casts serious doubt on the AGW theory of human sourced Co2 driven climate changed, doesn't it.

2. This is a diary note by Melanie Phillips, of recent date, referring to a CNN piece by Glenn Beck on Islamic violence and the well funded agenda that is running.

You see Kevin, if you bothered to do some H/W you will find that dear old John Stone is not so far off the mark after all, because there is abundant material to support his main premise, and bugger all to support yours, and that of others who have posted herein.

BigMal insists we take one students statistical exceptionalism and a copy'n'paste by a columnist on the (far right wing) UK Daily Mail over the multiple consensus reports of the 1500 climatologists in the IPCC, backed by Australias BoM and CSIRO.

This is the benefit of BigMals "education and life experiences"? An aquired brain injury would do the same.

Kevin, I too have noticed that climate change deniers are also usually War on Terror fanatics, and frequently economic rationalist fundamentalists too. Good news is that there are actually not very many of them, they rarely make any sense, and they're on the run on every open forum across the web. It seems more and more people are discovering how easy it is to deflate their propaganda, and fun too!

Liam,

Very glib and seemingly clever with the words but I do notice that you dont have the brains (damaged or otherwise) to add anything of value.

As for blindingly following what the IPCC/CSIRO are putting about, now that is a laugh, I mean anyone who believes in what climate models say 50 years out is seriously delusional. They cant even model the behaviour of clouds, or aerosols, never mind having sufficient skill to predict the weather in 2-3 years time.

Obviously you are adherent of the consensus view of science when most enlightened people would say that consensus is a political statement, not a scientific one.

John Stone is correct in general, if a bit non-PC. Maybe he should cloak his real thoughts under a cloud of obfuscation, like so many of the mealy mouthed idiots on this forum.
Before the Second World War there was exactly the same reaction to the threat of Nazism, as there is today to the Muslim threat. People didn't want to face up to an unpleasant truth.
Appeasement didn't work then, and it certainly won't work now. And I speak not as a Christian, but as a secularist and agnostic.
Get real people, open your eyes and have the courage to see what is happening!
We now, throughout the Western World, aided and abetted by our leftist multi-culti PC friends, accommodate a virulent fifth column. Funny how its the same crowd who are trying to dismantle our society by cutting off its energy supplies. Funny how a bunch of lefties can so easily ally themselves with a bunch of religious fascists!
How often do you see the so called "moderate muslims" properly condemning the slaughter that they are visiting on their own people? I refer to Iraq, where Sunnis and Shias are carrying out mass murder nearly every week.
And of course, not even acknowledging the terrorist acts carried out in London, Madrid and many other places, as anything to do with them and their crackpot beliefs, let alone condemning them!
This is added to their well known views and punishments against women, homosexuals, non-religious people, and practically anyone they disapprove of in their religious fervor.
Mark Steyn is much more eloquent than I am. Read this:
