Hi AC,
Do I think that Moslem people will share the Australian dream?

I don't need to "think" that, they already are...

Now, all we have to do is work on the few miserable old buggers who've forgotten what that song means and try to stop them poisoning the minds of the young ones who haven't yet learnt.

CHERFUL,

It may come as a surprise to you and others that the Japanese never intended to invade Australia.
They never even gave the idea very serious consideration as there would have been no point in it.

But tell me does the timeline fit?
Were England losing the war before the US came into the war?
Was the Balfour declaration made after this?"

That's pretty thin stuff. Apparently like others of your mind set who hate you casually blame the Jews for no other reason than your hate. Precisely how could Jews, a small minority in the US at that time without much power, get the US into WW1?

In this world there are prejudiced people who hate people as a group. They may hate Jews, Christians, Muslims or people of other religions or no religion. They may hate Americans, Chinese, Australians, Germans or people of other nationalities. They may hate Aborigines, Orientals, blacks, whites or people of other races. They may hate people belonging to a political party or having a particular ideology. They see every member of the group they hate as an evil individual getting together with others of their ilk to plot against all not belonging to their group.

I think that all people everywhere regardless of the group they are associated with are a mixture of conflicted impulses and human like the rest of us. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said it much better than I can.

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
o The Gulag Archipelago (1973).

Why the Japanese never invaded Australia.?

A Report by a Japanese Marine Officer did have a part to play. That Officer has since written a book about his exploits in Northern Australia.

A Japanese Marine Company was landed near Burketown & made their way inland. He had 110 & men to start with. He made his way inland towards Mt. Isa. He got as far Gregory & by that stage he had lost all his men to Aboriginal attack. He said he never saw the people who had killed his men. He was alone but found messages & signs of which way to go to get back to the Coast. These led him back & he was picked up by the waiting Japanese Submarine & still he had not seen anyone.

On top of that I worked with a Coastwatcher in Ayr. He was stationed at Cromarty near Giru, just south of Townsville. He observed 110 Japanese Marines off loading from a Japanese Submarine in Bowling Green Bay. He rang the Headquarters & they dismissed him at first. He insisted so they sent a Negro Unit from Woodstock to deal with the problem. They lost one Soldier killed & several wounded. Two Japanese Marines were killed & several wounded but they were Captured & held in the Cutting at Jezzine Barracks in Townsville under great secrecy. My father-in-Law helped transport then down to Brisbane by train only traveling at night. He was a Prisoner of War Transport Guard in the Air Force during the WW2 stationed in Townsville.

So Intelligence gathering by the Japanese on the Mainland wasn't all that successful. Considering that the entire White Population was to be evacuated to behind the Brisbane Line leaving only the Aboriginals. Together with a scorched Earth Policy the Japanese decided it would be an impossible task. I'm sure there were many other landings at remote places we will never know about.

cont.

Mind you the Japanese submarines used to regularly re-water at Cape Upstart during the War. They never bothered the Locals some of which were my Uncles. They had BBQ's & shared their Whisky. When we were kids we would holiday at Cape Upstart & the place was littered with Japanese Whisky Bottles,& Death Adders by the score.
