The Nuclear Debate

Debate is a misuse of the word. When John Howard stands in parliament and does his best to project an image of a foolish opposition party for not entertaining the prospect of nuclear power plants, because they are “the greenest and cleanest energy source of all”, his body becomes rigormortisly rigid spasmodically pacing the floor, his voice audio becomes nervously broken and his little baboon face glows satanic red. That’s because he knows, we know, he is full of shit.

His efforts to link nuclear power plants with combating global warming are transparently juvenile. “Trying to reduce the environmental impact of energy consumption by using nuclear instead of coal based resources is like attempting to give up cigarettes by taking up crack.” Sorry, can’t remember where I saw this quote.

While electricity generated from nuclear power does not directly emit carbon dioxide it uses vast amounts of fossil fuels, from mining, milling, treatment, enrichment, fuel reprocessing, reactor construction, reactor decommissioning and all related transports. Uranium mining is one of the most CO 2 intensive industrial operations known and therefore C0 2 emissions will actually rise as a result of reactor power plants being commissioned.

Freedom to hate Muslims

The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), a conservative academic group (oxymoron) founded by Lynne Cheney, the wife of US Vice President Dick Cheney, is a powerful lobbyist force in US education departments. The group’s activities revolve around Lynne’s founding agenda of promoting western civilization and American culture as the bedrocks of US education.

ACTA were once noted for attacking college professors across America with charges of not showing enough patriotism in the aftermath of Sept. 11. ''College and university faculty have been the weak link in America's response to the attack,'' say leaders of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni in a report.

One mover and shaker within the ACTA ranks, bone head David Horowitz, canvases US schools with his so called “Freedom Center” which fights for the right to serve students propaganda material promoting ignorance, intolerance and hatred of Muslim peoples. He claims “After conferring with students from several universities who were concerned about both the ignorance about the objectives of Islamic fascism among their fellow students and also the “unholy alliance” between campus leftists and jihadists seeking to undermine the War on Terror, the Freedom Center has launched a Terrorism Awareness Project”.

David originally began his Freedom Center to combat the menacing problem of politically left content appearing in Hollywood productions. He has a great distaste for the left, and rightly so, bastards go around advocating peace and love when there are wars to inflict and profiteer from. The Freedom Center’s Wednesday Morning Club, works to impose its conservative hardcore right wing dogma in Hollywood and amongst its claims to fame, Horowitz boasts that it is the forum from which then Governor George Bush made his first public speech in California.

In a recent skype cast discussion, a contributor known as ‘atwistedlife’, found herself under surprise attack from a crazed Horowitz disciple while examining the war propaganda machine. In a violent outburst, log in id ‘BettyDavisEyes’ (how cute), directed everyone to the Freedom Center’s online magazine for the viewing of “Islamic mein kampf”, a sickening slide show presentation aiming to manifest a hysterical fear in all Americans that they are about to be slaughtered in a jihad from Islam. Slide after slide alternates between horrifically graphic bomb blast aftermath scenes, and linking Muslims with Nazis. It’s all accompanied by background music that you would find playing in a very old movie as the camera follows a shadowy villain preparing heinous acts of crime.

Ms ‘BettyDavisEyes’ went further, boasting of how she taunted Muslim men over the internet by sending them content from the porn site she owned and operated. Guess what this creature’s day job is by the way, she is a school teacher in Florida. Infuriated, ‘atwistedlife’ sent an email to the office of Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. She pointed out that the name of mentioned porn site happened to be govarnoldschwarzenegger.com

Suffering delusions of grandeur, ‘BettyDavisEyes’ claimed that it was a free country (refering to USA), and no one could interfere with her freedom of speech. (ignorance really is bliss). She found out exactly how free she is when her website vanished from the face of the earth the following day, after a swift response from the Schwarzenegger office.

TheBigStinkGuide would love to name the teacher but will refrain at this point as we understand she is now under investigation by authorities. Last time we checked however, a whois look up provided the details.

No Bush Bomb, dam!

the following story from http://www.rawstory.com

Bush no longer 'miserable failure;' Google defuses 'link bombs'

US President George W. Bush is no longer Google's top response to Internet searches for "miserable failure." Queries for French military victories no longer take one to "defeats."

Links to web pages about Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva no longer pop up in searches in Portuguese for "drunken despot."

And Russian Internet users that type "enemy of the people" into Google are not directed to a biography of that nation's leader, Vladimir Putin.

...read more of this story

They could have left the 'bushbomb' intact just for the fun of it. Yes George, we difused your google bomb but according to the internet, you really are the best matching response to "miserable failure."

Polis Property Developments

Looking for a rental property in Adelaide? Beware of dealing with Polis Property Developments Pty Ltd. Be particularly cautious of the company manager Mr Bill Haltis, also known as Vasilios Haltis. This ethically challenged Landlord mismanages over 100 properties privately owned by his own family in Adelaide.

Mr Bill Haltis
Polis Property Developments Pty Ltd
278b Prospect Road
PROSPECT SA 5082
ABN: 99 828 168 267
Ph: (08) 8269 2341
Mobile: 0412 207 312
Email: vhaltis@chariot.net.au

His property management is so appalling that the Residential Tenancies Tribunal awarded us, his tenants, $2280.00 in rental credits. In addition the Housing Improvement Branch of the SA Housing Trust declared the property we rented to be “sub standard”. As a result Mr Haltis was ordered to reduce our rent by $90.00 per week. When we put it directly to Mr Haltis, that he was nothing more than a thieving con artist that preys on unsuspecting victims, he replied “That maybe so, but I’m wealthy as a result which makes me smart, unlike you, you are nothing”

Mr Haltis was also forced to comply with orders from the Office of the Technical Regulator due to inappropriate electrical work he had carried out. He had claimed he was a qualified electrician because he had a builders licence. He also engages the services of various labourers to perform electrical works at properties managed by Polis Property Developments. These maintenance crews also claim to be qualified electricians just by association to Mr Haltis and his building licence.

Mr Haltis physically assaulted my partner and my self on several occasions, in one instance upon hearing a disturbance in the back yard, I ran out to find our landlord pushing and shoving my partner. I stepped between them to prevent any harm coming to her. Although my only action was to stand in his way, our landlord turned his attack on me. He knocked me to the ground numerous times, punched me in the face while I was down and smashed me into a trailer.

Mr Haltis took us to district court in an effort to over turn our rental credits awarded by RTT, he failed. At the end of our lease he refused to meet us for handing keys back. Mr Haltis told me to leave keys in his letter box, I declined to do so telling him we required a receipt for keys as he had also refused to complete a property inspection sheet with us and the prospects for getting our bond returned were not looking promising. Mr Haltis closed his office sending his staff home, on the day we needed to hand back keys. We therefore handed the keys in at a police station where we got a receipt for the transaction. We were successful in obtaining our bond back through the RTT.
