THEY WERE TOLD
Tim Blair – Saturday, July 27, 2013 (5:17pm)
Flashback to 2009:
Australian Federal Police warned Prime Minister Kevin Rudd just weeks ago his border protection laws were making the country a magnet for smuggling.The warning came in secret intelligence briefings prepared by the AFP that were delivered to senior Government ministers.The Daily Telegraph understands the AFP also expressed reservations last year as the Rudd Government wound back John Howard’s tougher approach.
More than 40,000 arrivals and 1000 deaths later, Labor finally acted. Not that it makes much difference at this stage.

LEFT LOVES A TRAITOR
Tim Blair – Saturday, July 27, 2013 (11:40am)
DLP Senator Vince Gair names leftist icon Wilfred Burchett as a paid KGB operative in 1971:
Is the Government further aware that [KGB officer Yuri] Krotkof fully identified Wilfred Burchett, the Australian journalist whose return to Australia in March 1970 was the occasion of much public controversy, as not only a paid agent of the Chinese and Vietnamese Communist parties but also as a Soviet KGB operative, to which position Burchett was appointed in 1958, in the KGB’s Special Department which was responsible for all foreign correspondents in Moscow?
Gair’s comments were later republished in a DLP magazine, leading to a defamation suit from Burchett (discussed at the 13-minute point of a fawning 1983 interview with John Pilger). Now it emerges, through Soviet archives, that Burchett indeed was financed by the KGB. Robert Manne, who’d previously dismissed claims of any KGB payments to the late communist, writes:
As it now turns out, on this matter I was wrong ...The new documentary evidence about Burchett’s relations with the KGB places [his] supporters in an awkward position. They might resume their attack on the messenger of unpleasant tidings. They might claim that the document in the Bukovsky archive is a forgery. They might assert that there is nothing untoward in being a paid agent of a secret police force responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people. They might simply try to ignore the evidence that has been presented in this article.Or they might, instead, rethink their position on the Burchett question.
Or they might love him all the more.

In other island developments, at least one resident is looking forward to new Islamophibian neighbours:
Retailer Joe Ndrassal says he wants to see up to 50,000 asylum seekers resettled on Manus …He says he isn’t concerned about a potential culture clash between locals and the newly arrived.“The number of Muslims coming won’t make a difference, I think,” he said.“Most people in PNG are Christians, so they can be socialised. We can influence them. They can convert.”

Indonesia not against an Abbott plan
Andrew Bolt July 27 2013 (8:42am)
There will be a deal
between Indonesia and an Abbott Government to intercept boats, however
Labor huffs and some journalists now scoff:
Greg Sheridan:
THE minister in charge of Indonesia’s navy has declared his government does not oppose Australia turning back asylum-seeker boats, but has insisted the two nations must talk about the policy and warned against any unilateral action.I think Indonesia has hinted often enough what the deal would be - more resources. More ships.
Indonesia’s Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said yesterday his navy lacked resources and had to police illegal logging and fish poaching as well as deploying boats to the southern part of Java, the main departure point for asylum-seekers.
Asked if Indonesia opposed the Coalition’s plan to turn back boats, Dr Purnomo said: “I didn’t say that we don’t want it. I said let’s talk and sit down, you know, but we don’t want to see the unilateral action.”
As Dr Purnomo became the latest regional representative to be drawn into Australia’s political turmoil over border-protection policies, it emerged that more than 1200 asylum-seekers on 16 boats had made it to the Australian territories of Christmas and Cocos Islands in the seven days since Kevin Rudd announced his Papua New Guinea Solution…
The number of asylum-seekers taken into immigration detention since Mr Rudd’s announcement last night stood at 1260.
Greg Sheridan:
Offshore processing of asylum-seekers on Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island has been the official policy of the Labor government since it signed a memorandum of understanding with PNG in August 2011. In a few days, we will reach the second anniversary of that agreement.Even more incredible is the idea that Rudd can get enough beds at Manus in time:
And what is the capacity of the Manus Island facilities today? About 300 people. It took the Gillard government more than a year to transfer anyone to Manus, and since last year only a handful of people have gone there.
These facts are incredible.
The Rudd government’s plan to ship future boat asylum seekers to Papua New Guinea is in danger of unravelling because a new processing centre at the heart of the strategy is unlikely to be finished on schedule.(Thanks to reader Peter of Bellevue Hill.)
Construction industry sources say it is impossible to complete the 600-bed facility on Manus Island before the promised deadline of next January.
The PNG government has still not granted title over the land earmarked for the centre, key construction contracts have not been awarded and no work has been started at the site or on a road connecting it with the island’s airport.
Hornibrook NGI, the Lae construction company expected to win one of the largest subcontracts, has still not been given detailed specifications needed to finish its bid for the work…
A senior PNG construction manager said Perth-based engineering company Decmil, which has won the $137 million Immigration Department contract to build the centre, would not be able meet the January deadline. ‘’These guys have got no chance of getting this done,’’ the manager said.
‘’The wheels are going to fall off this. There is no way they will get close to that target date.’’

If only Gillard were Aboriginal, none of this would have happened
Andrew Bolt July 27 2013 (2:28am)
Being a woman was just not being victim enough to save Gillard:
Former prime minister Julia Gillard has said that she would have been treated differently as the nation’s leader if she was indigenous, rather than a woman.What a crippling sense of victimhood. Still, it is nice to know that Gillard thinks that although we’re sexist we’re at least not racist.
In an interview with The Monthly, Ms Gillard suggested that derogatory remarks made about her would have caused more outrage if she was black.
“I think some of the stuff about me, because it is about gender, gets glossed over more easily,” she said.
“If I was the first indigenous prime minister, and (Tony) Abbott had gone out and stood next to a sign that said, ‘Ditch the black bastard’, I reckon that would be the end of a political career.”

It is ok to disagree. I get your frustration, but a point of difference in our philosophy, which is apparently expressed more broadly is my belief in wealth creation. Your analysis works under the assumption that all the factors are external. "Nothing we can do but make the most of what we have" is the adage of those unions and political mates. They have no responsibility for their failure. "There just wasn't enough." There is no need to demolish the city and begin again. All that needs to happen is to let the adults run the shop for awhile. I do not believe 700,000 US peoples have not got sufficient to be able to take care of themselves. It isn't a war zone. - ed

The EU's decision to initiate an economic war against the Jewish state forces Israel to abandon its long-held illusions. Israel has options for responding forcefully to Europe's aggression. If judiciously and firmly employed, these responses can diminish the Europeans' interest in escalating this economic war, by denying them the political victory they seek.
===
THIS WEEK the EU took three steps that together prove Europe's ill-intentions toward the Jewish state.
First, last Friday the EU announced it is imposing economic sanctions on Israel. The sanctions deny EU funds to Israeli entities with an address beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines. They also deny EU funds to Israeli entities countrywide that carry out activities beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines.
The areas beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines delineated by the EU directive include the Gaza Strip, which Israel abandoned eight years ago; the Golan Heights, which has been under Israeli sovereignty since 1981; eastern, northern and southern Jerusalem, which have been under Israeli sovereignty since 1967; and Judea and Samaria, over which Israel has shared governance with the PLO since 1994 in accordance with signed agreements witnessed by EU representatives.

Movie One Sheets: The Quiet Man
http://
The Quiet Man is a 1952 Irish–American Technicolor romantic comedy-drama film. It was directed by John Ford and starred John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Victor McLaglen and Barry Fitzgerald. It was based on a 1933 Saturday Evening Post short story by Maurice Walsh. The film is notable for its lush photography of the Irish countryside and the long, climactic, semi-comic fist fight between Wayne and McLaglen.

Clint Eastwood: Obama Is ‘Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated On The American People’

“I had three points I wanted to make,” Eastwood said. “That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job. But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.”

There are so many words in the English language that it’s not surprising that the definitions for some of them have gotten mixed up over the years. It’s possible that you’ve gone your entire life without realizing your mistakes. I’m sure people have noticed. One day, you were probably walking down the street, casually chatting with an old friend, and one of these words slipped out of your mouth. Before you can move on to your story about how Mufasa would actually make a very attractive human, your friend stops to correct your error, and suddenly, your whole life starts to feel like one giant lie. How long have you been using that word incorrectly,
Phil Box Add decimate and bugger to that list. Most have no clue as to what these two words mean. Even professional news casters get decimate wrong.
