AUSTRALIA: Another scapegoat or two bite the dust!
Johnny B Good | 05.01.2007 07:28 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World
John Howard the rocket launcher and his AFP now lay the blame of lost rocket launchers on a scapegoat in custody. Typical propaganda to make himself look good. Again! But now there is a specific target and I strongly suggest it's John Howard's war on terror and how much of a boost he can give to his fear factor so he can continue war mongering!
John Howard the rocket launcher and his AFP
Not only does this well thought of propaganda alleviate the responsibility of the War Forces for the loss of the rocket launchers but lays the blame on a prisoner in custody.
Killing two birds or let's say four birds with one stone, i.e. Howard for purporting the propaganda, NSW police for not investigating the matter for four years, but also Peter Debnam for his lies blaming Islamic Muslims in southwest Sydney. When we all know that this had nothing to do with Muslims or Islamic extremists but more to do with the failure of the ADF.
But the failure of the ADF to maintain arms in a secure place only applies if the story had any substance at all. Because if it were all bullshit and it looks like it was then John Howard has done it again. His propaganda via Peter Debnam failed miserably and now he has to cover up for his own lies.
My point is how low can a war criminal prime minister and his Mick Guilty go! And how would you or anyone believe what police say ever again?

Police tightlipped on rocket target
Police say there is evidence that rocket launchers stolen from the Australian Defence Force were going to be used against a specific target.
Sydney man Abdul Rahman was today charged over the supply of the stolen weapons.
Police allege the 28-year-old received seven rocket launchers stolen from the Australian Defence Force and passed them on to two men.
One of those men was arrested and charged in counter-terrorism raids in Sydney in November.
Rahman has been charged with 17 offences, including dishonestly receiving stolen property and supplying a prohibited weapon without authorisation.
Australian Federal Police commissioner Mick Keelty says there is evidence of a plan to use the weapons.
"We do know and have evidence of a proposed target. I don't want to reveal the target right now because it may be that those details are suppressed by the court," he said.
"The assertions we have from a witness is that there was a particular target that had been identified by the individual and the group the individual had been operating with. That was a property and we are aware of that property."
Police recovered one rocket launcher at a Sydney property in September and have confirmed it appears to have come from the Department of Defence.
The AFP are carrying out a joint investigation with ASIO and New South Wales Police to try and track down six more rocket launchers that are believed to have been stolen. [four years after the fact!]
Rahman's case has been adjourned until January 10.

"We can determine that there have been other reports about the illegal and degrading wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the complicity of the AFP in the Bali bombing in 2002, and now the fire sale of Australian military hardware, including a rocket launcher found on a tip. After the rocket launchers that went missing from the Australia War Force just recently and that's part of the inquiries that we are making," They said.

Xenophobic rocket launcher, so why was it reported really?
Police say they are unsure if the claims, published in a 'Sunday newspaper', are true and they are now being investigated. [So why was it reported today by howard's 'abc' and the 'Melbourne age'?

Rocket launcher seized from Angels
A rocket-launcher was among a cache of weapons seized during raids on residences and premises of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.
Armed police went to at least six locations around the greater Darwin region. The Hells Angels' clubhouse was also searched in the dawn raids.
Sixty-two police officers from CIB, the Drug Squad and the elite Territory Response Group were called out on Sunday.
"We raided the clubhouse, a couple of residences and a couple of associates' residences,'' a police source told the Northern Territory News.
Commander of Crime George Owen said the main purpose of the raids was to look for stolen property. He refused to confirm that a substantial quantity of amphetamines and illegal weapons were seized.
"That wasn't the primary focus of the warrants,'' Cdr Owen said.
"The search warrants executed on Sunday were in relation to a complaint of robbery by a victim.
"We seized items allegedly stolen from the victim _ there was quite a bit of stuff.''
Cdr Owen refused to comment on whether a high-powered rocket-launcher was also seized.
But the Northern Territory News has learned the weapon was among several items seized.
"We got a heap of stuff _ glock pistols, drugs, mainly amphetamines, and a rocket-launcher,'' the source said.
