Astalavista APEC

Famous war criminals (world leaders) have flown home and the wall is on its way down, astalavista APEC.

Quote of the week – re: G.W. Bush departing Saturday night, from Mr McDermott (Side Show) “Could the owner of Air force 1 please return back to Sydney, you have left your hairless lapdog behind.”

Despite the police force’s best efforts, no violent protests occurred during the APEC conference. The only evidence the public has seen of violent criminal activity being carried out over the summit, is footage of police actions.

The NSW Premier, Police Minister, Police Commissioner and the Prime Minister have all offered their upmost congratulations to the officers responsible for this thuggery. Police themselves have been issuing the victims they beat, pushed and bashed with assault charges.

Der Fuhrer reportedly apologised to Sydney residents for disruptions. "I'm sorry you've been inconvenienced - it's not the fault of our visitors," he said. "It's not the fault of either the New South Wales Government or the Federal Government. Rather it's the fault of those people who would threaten to resort to violence in order to disrupt gatherings of this kind. You have been very patient."

So it was the police then to blame John?

From someone that was there, the following comments:

Funny how the Daily Tellagaff and other Turdoch papers led with "17 arrested" regarding APEC demos. Only thing is that a. that's bugger all, b. they happened almost all after the demo, c. they were mostly nonsense areests or dickhead arrestees.

The real story is that the demo was actually very diversely attended, some unions finally stuck their heads out, it was actually a surprisingly good show of fuck-you-John-and-George, and that even under special instruction to back off and not provoke anything for a change the itchy line of cops still had to have a go when most of the crowd had gone home.

Keystone Cops not amused

My day was instantly brightened with the news this morning of the Chaser’s latest greatest prank, resulting in 11 cast and crew being arrested for staging a fake motorcade through an APEC restricted security zone.

The arresting part is not that funny, possible under newly made up laws that apparently forbid anyone from entering declared zones in Sydney during APEC without justification. The authorities at ground level seemed to get the joke and even cracked a few smiles, but Police Minister David Stooge Campbell was not so easily amused.

Clues as to why police should be officially embarrassed, can be found at the yahoo news report of the event. According to yahoo, the Chaser convoy (2 motorbikes and 3 cars), was officially ushered through two checkpoints by police after sighting the team’s “insecurity” passes which expressly stated they were a joke. The keystone brigade only suspected something a miss when they spotted Osama bin Laden emerging from one of the motorcade vehicles, just metres away from G W Bushy's hotel room.

More APEC bullshit

Anti APEC demonstration propaganda has hit fever point as Sydney inmates are sent home for the weekend, freeing up jail cells for detaining those pesky protesters. The police said oppressive security was justified after claiming to have been informed of the existence, of a circulating manual describing how to protest violently. Students were warned not to participate in a protest, being told there was a great risk of impending violence. Police did their best to intimidate students into submission saying they would have roaming truancy officers making arrests.

The PM himself said that violent protesters are to blame for the extreme security measures being implemented. It’s funny though how violence arises primarily when protesters are peaceful, when police feel they can perfect their bludgeoning techniques without resistance. In recorded instances of protesters becoming violent, the police tend to make a very hasty retreat.

I suggest that while this collective bunch of psychopaths known as our world leaders, are all together safely segregated from the general population, we all gather at the fence perimeter and ensure they stay exactly there, eternally quarantined. Reverse the oppression; use their safety fence as our safety fence. I think Sydney residents would be willing to give up a few city blocks for the good of humanity.
