In the name of free speech Banjo, when you copy a link, normally if you remove the letter s from https at the start of the link, as I have done above it should play automatically.

Rather a one sided rant there Banjo from that stand up comedian.

In Firefox if you highlight the url then right click and the dropdown

Self-determination is unfair, undemocratic and an instrument of oppression. It has come to mean a nation formed on the basic of a religious, ethnic or racial paradigm. Those who are citizens of the nation but are not of the dominant paradigm are second class citizens. The term, self-determination, was introduced into diplomatic parlance by Woodrow Wilson who wanted the make the world “safe for democracy”. However, Wilson was a racist who apparently thought white Protestants of north European descent were the only peoples capable of democracy. The treatment of the Central powers after WW1 shows his biases. Germany except for the return of Alsace and Lorraine to France and the Polish Corridor remained a national unit and essentially untouched. Self-determination was applied to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it was broken up to create new states. With the exception of Czechoslovakia the new states went fascist between WW1 and WW2. Part of Wilson’s motivation was probably the hope that the peoples of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire would be so happy with their new status that they would not come to the US and spoil Wilson’s dream of a white, Protestant USA. The subject peoples of the Turkish Empire were not even deemed worthy of self-determination and were given to Britain and France as mandates.

There should be no Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist states. In a democratic country religion or lack of it, ethnicity and race of its citizens should be no business of the government. All should be equal under law, and that law should be civil not religious.

Paul,
Thank you, I do appreciate it. It never used to be a problem, just click on copy then paste where you want, easy. Perhaps the change to Google Chrome altered something, I'll get it looked at.

I do like Pat Condell, he has a way of putting his argument that is plain, simple and straight forward. I guess there is some that do not like what he has to say but find it difficult to show if he is incorrect. I am surprised at the number of videos he now has put out. They should be compulsory viewing for all politicians, so they learn something.

I am an Australian resident, born in Germany and temporarily living in Germany since three years.

I am watching the situation in Australia as well as in Europe since 2 years ago when I realised there is an invasion starting in Western Europe, and have since then written quite a lot of translations of German articles about what is happening here for my Australian friends.

So much about my background.

I consider this discussion very important, since many posts refer to what is happening in Germany and other Western European countries, and knowing those facts gives Australia at least a chance to avoid the same mistakes as long as it is still possible.

That is the main reason I am writing this posting, and I don't want to go into details. Even so far away you have probably heard how much life has changed here. A lot of self restriction and fear, like people don't let their 14 year old teenagers go swimming or to the cinema any more without adult protection, just to name one of the liberties we have lost among many others. For those interested in details there is a website with statistics (in English as well) that the Government would rather no let us know. They hate the Internet.

That website is no muslim or migrant bashing. They just scan police reports and publish it as summary, all with links to the reports: http://www.refcrime.info/en/

Generally spoken I can only hope that Australians and Australian politicians watch closely how things develop in Western Europe, and reading UK news is sufficient ... no language problems, and also many Germans read UK news to learn what is going on in Germany since the Merkel Government is trying to keep everything bad about migration low key not to spoil the mood in Germany. Government officials admitted that several times.

If Australia hopefully learns something from the problems Western Europe has and does not make the same mistakes I would be very glad to have a place to go to with my family once the situation here gets worse.

Have you ever considered to write your articles directly for refcrime? As their website (http://refcrime.info/de/mitmachen, unfortunately only in german) shows, they are searching for authors with language skills that help them with finding articles and translating them for the international audience.
