GillardPM Govt Congrats On Anti Smoking Campaign

Congratulations to the GillardPM Govt on its continued anti smoking campaign

Less and less people seem to be smoking

It is very noticeable in the communitty when travelling

Apparently the message is getting through to people that a long healthy life is better than a short smoking life

I can remember getting on a bus and smokers going upstairs

But some stayed downstairs

You got the smoke from people sitting beside/infront /or behind

Then there was the terrible smokers cough

People my age had plenty of passive smoking

Go into any hospital respiratory section

See people gasping for breath on oxygen sitting in wheel chairs

The price for smoking pleasure

And companies make money from it

Congratulations on Gillard Govt anti smoking campaign

Get assistance from your doctor for $20 medication Aussie Fed Govt Campaign

Lets hope the anti drug campaign will be equally effective

Global Research Newsletter On Egypt

Egypt: US-Backed Repression is Insight for American Public
By Finian Cunningham URL of this article: www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22994 Global Research, January 28, 2011
As thousands more Egyptian citizens take to the streets in anti-government protests, the country is in danger of witnessing a bloodbath – at the behest of Washington.
Defying a ban on public demonstrations by the government of President Hosni Mubarak, tens of thousands of Egyptians have for the fourth consecutive day rallied on the streets of the capital Cairo and other major cities calling for his abdication. Inspired by the mass uprising in neigbouring Tunisia earlier this month, which forced its president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali into exile, the protesters in Egypt are likewise demanding Mubarak and his government to quit.
Mubarak’s military apparatus has so far shown brutal determination to suppress the uprising. As many as seven civilians have been killed by heavily armed riot police, hundreds are reported injured and more than 1,000 arrests have been made by secret security agents who were videoed bundling protesters into unmarked vehicles. Now the country’s formidable military forces are reported to have taken up positions in public places in Cairo and elsewhere.
But it is Washington’s latest intervention that could trigger an escalation of Egyptian state violence against its people. Speaking to media, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs described the Mubarak government as an “important ally” and that the US “expects” the 30-year-old regime to remain intact. Forget the hollow and cynical plea by Gibbs to the Egyptian government and protesters to refrain from violence, the key message is continuing US support for the regime. In other words, the US is assuring Mubarak that it stands full-square behind his bid to stay in power. Given that the already-lethal response of the Egyptian state did not draw a word of condemnation from the White House nor that the population’s demands for democracy and social justice were unequivocally endorsed can only send the following code to Mubarak: do whatever you must to get these people off the streets.
Meanwhile, an Israeli cabinet minister probably voiced the unvarnished essence of the US position when he was quoted in Israeli media as urging the Mubarak to use lethal force to quell the protests. “They will have to use force, power in the streets...” the unnamed minister said.
Make no mistake. The Mubarak government – which can only be described as a repressive military dictatorship – is well-placed and willing to do its worse, no matter the cost to civilian life. The country’s army and police forces are geared to the teeth thanks to more than $1 billion in military aid a year from Washington. The North African country and the Arab region’s most populous is the second highest recipient of US military equipment after Israel. It has also one of the worst human rights records, routinely detaining and torturing thousands of its citizens, earning itself the reputation as a “torture chamber”. When the US officially describes Egypt as “an important ally” it is inadvertently referring to Mubarak’s role as a garrison outpost for US military operations and dirty war tactics in the Middle East and beyond. There is clear evidence from international human rights groups that countless “suspects” rendered by US forces in their various territories of (criminal) operations are secretly dumped in Egypt for “deep interrogation”. The country serves as a giant “Guantanamo” of the Middle East, conveniently obscured from US public interest and relieved of legal niceties over human rights.
In collaboration with Israel, and openly described as an “ally” by Tel Aviv, Egypt has shown itself to be the anvil to Israel’s hammer against the Palestinian people. In keeping the Raffah Crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip closed, thus denying badly needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the aftermath of Israel’s murderous 2009 assault, Mubarak has shown unspeakable callousness and willingness to collaborate with the criminal US/Israeli policy of “collective punishment” of this civilian population.
The importance of Mubarak’s Egypt to the US government can be illustrated in another way. Imagine the repercussions for Washington if the Egyptian people were to succeed in overthrowing this military state and establishing genuine democracy, one where the abundant resources of that country are used to lift the mass of the population out of grinding poverty instead of serving to enrich a corrupt elite and its masters in Washington. Imagine a country that refuses to continue to be a US garrison and staging post for criminal wars in the region. Imagine the catalytic effect for democracy across the region and likewise the demise of other US puppet regimes.
When it gets down to the nitty-gritty, this is the “vital interest” of the US executive – as opposed to the US public interest. Indeed, the stance by Washington over events in Egypt and elsewhere across North Africa and the Middle East should serve as a salutary insight for the US public of where their own pressing interests really lie and how they are best served. Their government is for dictatorship and repression and steadfastly against democracy, economic justice and human rights – at any human cost. All of which is beginning to sound uncomfortably familiar – and closer to home.

An appeal to our American and other friendsSunday, 21 February 2010 [Image]When I founded the Pro-Afrikaans Action Group (PRAAG) ten years ago, I never thought that life in South Africa would deteriorate this quickly. Most whites in South Africa, including Afrikaners, agree today that the future looks sombre. We are discriminated against, robbed, raped and killed in large numbers. Today, we are struggling for our freedom – to gain our own piece of land in this country where we have lived since 1652, almost as long as Americans have been in America.
Without your moral and financial support, we are probably doomed and will have to leave this beautiful country, the jewel of Africa, that our forefathers and we have built up with so much effort and sacrifice. We fought in the First and Second World Wars on the Allied side, as well as in Korea. Before our army entered Angola in 1975 to confront the Cubans, Russians and East Germans, we were addressed by CIA envoys who assured us that we were fighting for the Free World against communism. Yet a mere ten years later we were stabbed in the back by the West and forced to surrender to one of the last communist groups left in the world, the ANC and South African Communist Party, who are currently ruling our country.
Our noble and courageous people are now suffering the ignominy of being dominated by a rapacious, anti-white, racist clique. We will never accept being slaves in our land. Therefore we ask you to take out a monthly subscription via PayPal and contribute just $10 per month to our cause. Alternately, you may make a once-off donation of your own choice.
Our struggle here is of enormous importance for white, Western peoples world-wide. If we lose, Africa with its 800 million people will be strategically hostile to the West forever. If we win, it will inspire pro-white and pro-Western movements and parties the world over.
Help us turn the tide in our favour! Click on either PayPal button and send us your details to info@praag.org so that we may keep you informed of our progress.

WHY 11 POLICE 
OFFICERS
 WERE SHOT IN 24 
HOURS


By Andrew C. Wallace
January 29, 2011
NewsWithViews.com
This is an explanation of the shooting of Police Officers Tom Baitinger, and 
Jeffrey Yaslowitz and a U.S. Marshal in St. Petersburg, Florida, Officer 
Steven Dodds in Oregon, Officer David Moore in Indianapolis, two 
Officers wounded in Port Orchard, Washington, Two Sheriff’s Deputies 
wounded in Tacoma, Washington, and four Police Officers wounded in
 Detroit, Michigan. Eleven of these shootings took place in 24 hours as 
reported by Fox News 1-25-11.
To expect different outcomes from inner city Marxist Utopias is both
 moronic and impossible. Simple logic and history dictates that most
people born into the world without being taught right from wrong, the 
Golden Rule, ethics, morals or guidance from a proper family, the
teachings of Jesus Christ and real education, are doomed. These
 residents even elect and support those who deprive them of freedom 
and prosperity, who are just like those who sold their own people into 
slavery in the first place.
Law abiding people living in the Marxist Utopias live in fear of the 
criminals produced therein and have a strong resentment of ill 
treatment by the establishment represented by the Police. Under
 existing circumstances, this deadly situation is highly resistant to
 change.
Police have never had the lead responsibility to protect the people.
 Our constitution gave that obligation to the people themselves 
along with the right to keep and bear arms as protection against
 criminals and a rogue government. It is impossible for police to
 protect the people without an armed citizenry supporting the police,
 but the Marxist Officials will not allow it because they rightly fear
 retribution from the people. Officials should fear arrest for their
 treason.
The people had my back when I was a police officer and I would
 never work under the present conditions where the police are
 perceived much like that of an occupying army. In many cases
 the people are protecting the criminals and hate the police.

Advertisement






The police have 
limited choices, none of them easy. They can arm and train the
 law abiding people while earning their trust. This would require
 that the police pay close attention to the prosecutors and
 judges to insure that people get equal justice and due process
 in a civil manner. Since many prosecutors and judges are
 corrupt, police will have to investigate and arrest some of
 them to establish creditability. Police will have targets on 
their backs until they are perceived as friends of the people.
 Don’t tell me that this is a pipe dream and will not work 
because I have experienced it. As a police officer, I have been
 offered housing at much reduced cost to get me to live in their
 area, the people wanted my services. Police in Marxist utopias




 can’t say the same thing as they are mostly hated.
We used to have a saying that “You could fight with every
 drunk, or not, your choice”. I have seen many current
 police officers on TV treat people in a disrespectful manne
r that did nothing to get rid of that target.
I was taught as a police officer “to either kill the people
with kindness, or to kill them for proper cause”, and that
 we were not paid to subdue people with a club or with
 physical force because it was poor public relations, not
 required, and sooner or later we would lose with dire
 consequences. This policy was based upon experience
and was very effective. We did not wear track shoes
 because common law allowed use of deadly force to stop
 felons. We could use positive road blocks so car chases
 did not last long. Everyone knew the rules of engagement
 so it worked quite well.
This problem was started by greedy politicians who
 instituted pure Marxism in the inner cities depriving
 people of equal opportunity and freedom by
replacing it with equal poverty and slavery resulting
 in a brainwashed population with a large criminal
 underclass. One example of a major cause is the 20%
 high school graduation rate of Blacks in St. Petersburg,
 Florida, which is the worst example of low graduation
 rates in the United States.
If the police can’t change
things by throwing some 
officials in jail and working
 with the people they should
resign, and law abiding
 residents should move out. To my knowledge it is almost
 unheard of for Police to use their legitimate and
 superior power to clean out prosecutorial and
 judicial corruption. If the police don’t do it, who can?

My prayers go to the families of the brave officers who

 have died because of yet another failed experiment
 in Marxism by Traitors to our Constitution in the
 government, and most especially to the Marxist
 media who refused to tell people the truth.There
 is a high probability that our money and governmen
 benefits will become worthless. When this occurs,
residents of the Marxist utopias, seeking food, will
 attack the government or the working people, in
 either case, it is not a time to live or work in the
 city.

Will Gaza Blockade Fall Like The Berlin Wall-Who Will Say Tear It Down-This Time

Will the Gaza blockade fall like the Berlin Wall

Who will say "Tear It Down" this time

Not Gerald Ford-for he is no more

Who will be the man of the moment ?

The Big Question-Will Arabs Unite To Free Palestine

The big question is will Arabs unite to free Palestine ?

Will Arabs regain their freedom from USA and Israel

By stop taking blood money to turn a blind eye to the suffering in Gaza etc

And in history

The whole world is watching

And trembling in some places

Is Lawrence of Arabia once again uniting the Arabs-instead of dividing

India History Lesson Part Five


Available Now!

21st Century India

Produced by the Editors of Hinduism 
Today

This Educational Insight is the
 5th 
and final 
chapter in our 
series on Hindu history for use in 
US primary
 and secondary 
schools. In these few pages,
 we give
 a broad overview
 of India since independence.
 Reporting on recent 
history is always a challenge since
 historians lack the
chronological and emotional distance to impartially
 judge key people, trends and events.

But clearly, the foremost 
accomplishment
 is that India has
 remained a united, democratic 
country 
since 1947. It
 escaped the fate of the Soviet 
Union, 
Yugoslavia and
 neighboring Pakistan, each of which
split up. It is also
 notable that modern India 
continues
 to be what India
has always been: a deep source of 
wisdom 
and practical
 spirituality valued by societies 
around
 the world. This
 lesson was written and designed by the
 editorial staff of 
HINDUISM TODAY magazine in 
collaboration with Dr. 
Shiva Bajpai, Professor Emeritus of History,
 California
 State University, Northridge.

Booklets are $1.50 each with discounts for

Goodbye 2010-Doubt If See Your Prices Again-Inflation

Good bye 2010

doubt if see your prices again

inflation is biting harder

pay more for less

and Qld and Fed govt are broke

GillardPM Loses The Confidence Of The Public--NEVER AGAIN

Yes , GillardPM loses the confidence of the public

After all that public softsoap of encouragement to give

All that public praise boosting the ego of the public

Recognising the good the public were doing in giving freely

BANG !

Out of the blue came the Flood Tax

Talk about being led up the garden path

Or more crudely put-shafted

Never again will the public trust GillardPM

Says one thing and does another

If you give-you dont expect to be taxed as well for the same cause

A lot of people wont give now

Cause its followed by a TAX

Politicians-used car sales-lawyers-local govt etc are all tared with the same brush

The Australian Class System

Yes the Australian class system exists

You dont need to look hard to find

The future fund for public servants superannuation-only

Bugger everyone else

So much for GillardPM we are all the same-no one is better than anyone else

So GillardPM why not correct the discrimination while you are in office

What about the ordinary Aussie super fund

Why not convert the future fund into a permanent disaster fund for all Australians

Enough of discrimination-lets see what you can do

And this flood levy on people earning over $50.000--is that fair across the board

Or again discrimination

How about budget cuts instead

Well, $50.000 and above may be liberal co-alition voters

Slug them while we can

Before the next election

Ah, the Aussie class system-there for all to see

The Master Course

The lesson of the day from Satguru 

Sivaya Subramuniyaswami's trilogy:Dancing 

with Siva, Living with Siva and Merging with

 Siva



    Lesson 290


    Sloka 135 from Dancing with Siva

    What Is the Source of This Catechism?

    The philosophical basis of this catechism is the
    monistic Saiva Siddhanta of the Kailasa Parampara
    as expressed in the Vedas, Saiva Agamas,
    Tirukural, Tirumurai, Tirumantiram and contemporary
     scripture. Aum Namah Sivaya.

    Bhashya

    This catechism, prashnottaram, is the creation of
     the living lineage of seers known as the Kailasa
    Parampara, of the South Indian Saivite school
    called Shuddha Saiva Siddhanta, Advaita
    Siddhanta or monistic Saiva Siddhanta. It reflects
     the teachings of the Vedas and Saiva Agamas,
     the profound Tamil scriptures Tirumurai and
    Tirukural and the revelations of contemporary
    Kailasa gurus. The Tirumurai is a twelve-book
    collection of hymns of numerous Saivite saints.
    Most important among these is the Tirumantiram,
     a siddha yoga treatise by Rishi Tirumular,
     recording the Saiva tenets in 3,047 verses.
     It is prized as the confluence of Siddhanta
     and Vedanta. The Tirukural, containing 1,330
    couplets by the weaver saint Tiruvalluvar, is among
     the world's greatest ethical scriptures, sworn on in
    South Indian courts of law. Natchintanai are the
     sacred hymns of Sri Lanka's Sage Yogaswami.
     Tayumanavar says, "I meditate on the great light
     of the Siddhanta, the thought of all thoughts, the
     life of all life, which, existing in all objects without
    distinction, causes a spring of inestimably pure
     and happy nectar to flow for the good of its followers.
    " Aum Namah Sivaya.

    Lesson 290 from Living with Siva

    You Can Make A Difference

    Here's a true story to show how effective a timely
     expression of appreciation may be. A young
    man tried the above practice on his rather gruff
    employer, whose heart melted when he heard
     the words, "One of the things that I appreciate
    most about you, sir, is your brilliance as an inventor.
     You have so much to teach me." After saying
     that and more, the youth urged the astonished
    elder to pass on the voicing of appreciation to
    another person. The man sat with his only son
     that same evening and awkwardly told him
    how much he appreciated his many fine qualities
    . "I never take time to say such sentimental things,
    " he said, "but rather tend to keep to myself and
     be demanding and harsh because of the pressures
     of work. But please know that I do love you."
    The youth began sobbing and confessed, "Father,
     thank you so much. You can't imagine how glad
    and relieved I am to hear that. I was planning to
    commit suicide tomorrow because I thought you
    didn't care about me any more, or even like me.
     Now I won't." You never know how much difference
     your appreciation will make.

    To prepare yourself for this sadhana, stand before
     a mirror and look at your face, right into your eyes,
     and say aloud, as if talking to another person: "I
     am grateful to you and appreciate your being in
     my life." Then describe to yourself in many
    sentences all the good you have done during the
     past five years. You can jog your memory by
     reading from your list of goodness that you made
    earlier. You will soon see the reflection in the mirror
    soften and begin to smile as it absorbs the happy
     feeling of your appreciation. Once this art is
    perfected between you and you, you can begin
     to appreciate others in the same way. Don't be
    shy. No one is shy when angry. Why be shy when
    we are happy and lovingly grateful?

    There is a brave new world on the horizon for
     followers of dharma, one in which we are kindly
     to each other, trusting and aware of one another's
     feelings, a world in which we acknowledge our
     debt to others and express our thanksgiving,
     first in our silent heart and then outwardly.
    Gratitude is one of life's richest resources,
    containing the power to change people's lives.
     Its opposite is a disease that erodes all
    contentment and fills our life with emptiness
     and despair. Take heart. These sadhanas
     on gratitude and appreciation have worked
     wonders for many. Yes, each one of us can
     make a difference. The world is changing,
     and we can make it change for the better, or
     we can leave it in the hands of those who make
     changes for the "badder." It's our choice.

    I appreciate you, our reader of Living with Siva,
     you and other men and women, boys and
    girls who are strengthening Hinduism in
     hundreds of remote communities, upholding
     the Sanatana Dharma, being a beacon ligh
     to others on the path. It is you who are
     inspiring us to produce this series of books
     on contemporary Hinduism, giving us so many
     ideas and cheering us on. You are making a
     great difference by simply living the dharma,
    aspiring for self-transformation and speaking
     on these high principles that are so important
     to us all and to the future of humanity.

    Just a little bit of kindness is so easy to express.
     Just a little bit of kindness heals the mind.
    And in this day and age, when so many are
    frustrated, troubled and need a little bit of help,
    appreciation and encouragement, your kindness
    can help. Your criticism, your gossip about them,
     hurts them and also hurts yourself. But the
     kindness that you express in what you do is
     healing unto you, too. So, see yourself as a
     being that always expresses kindness. What
    you think about, you become.

    Lesson 290 from Merging with Siva

    Quelling the Kundalini


    As it is said, "What goes up must come down."
     This is especially true with the kundalini shakti
     moving through either of the other of the two
     wrong channels, where it can produce "dis-ease"
    --discomfort, physically, emotionally, intellectually
     and astrally--that no doctor's effort can fathom
    the cause of or effect a cure. At various junctures,
     as it rises, the kundalini shakti, or serpent power
    , attacks the organs in the vicinity of the chakra
     it is passing through, biting and poisoning them
     on the astral level. As it climbs, each one of the
    astral organs is hurt and felt as a physical ailment.
     This often reflects as a symptomatic problem in
     the kidneys, then stomach problems and later
     heart problems and thyroid difficulties. At each
     juncture, the doctor would be perplexed by the
    ailment, unable to find a medical cause, then
    doubly perplexed when that problem leaves
     and the next one arises. Though treatments
     and multiple tests are more than often given,
    the source of the problems is usually undetected.

    A devotee going through this experience often
    challenges the will of his satguru, whereupon he
     is left to his own devices, as it lies beyond
    even the guru's ability to help or guide him further
    . For the rule is: the guru takes nine steps
     toward the seeker for each humble, cooperative,
     eager step the devotee takes toward him.
     When the devotee balks, begins to argue and
    challenge the guru's will, this is the guru's signal
    to withdraw, a mystical sign that his ninth step
    had been taken. Should he take the tenth, he
    enters without a welcome and tangles when
    step eleven and twelve are taken. To withdraw
     then would cause an unwanted karma of hurt,
     pain and anguish. So, the wisdom of the ancients
     is "For every one step taken toward the guru, the
     guru takes nine toward the devotee."

    Then Shri Shri Shri Vishvaguru Maha-Maharaj-ji
     steps in and takes over, and the failed aspirant
     either is corrected by the forces of circumstance
     to give up spiritual pursuits for financial or other
     reasons, or he spins off the spiritual path into
     Vishvaguru's ashram, called Bhogabhumi,
    place of pleasure (another name for Earth).
     It is the biggest ashram of all. Here followers
     learn by their own mistakes and make fresh
    new karmas to be experienced in yet another
     life.

    To avoid these problems, and worse, the kundalini
    shakti has to be brought down all the way--slowly,
    not abruptly, lest the person become suicidal--
    all the way to the base, to the muladhara chakra,
     and then redirected up the proper channel. As
    pride comes before a fall, the fall of the spiritual
     pride is again another hurt, a final bite from the
    serpent, and as the poison flows through all organs,
     and temporary physical, mental and emotional
    suffering is the consequence.
