Police to investigate gang violence video on eve of Invasion Day?
New South Wales Police Minister John Watkins says police will review an Internet video which glorifies gang rapist Bilal Skaf and the Cronulla revenge attacks.
[On the eve of Australian Invasion-Sovereignty Day but that was just a coincidence right? Nah!]
The video was posted on the YouTube website and [allegedly] appears to have been made by students from a high school in Sydney's west. [ABC]

Mr Watkins says police will take action if any criminal activity is identified.
"The law's in place, the police will look at these videos to consider whether or not any further action should be taken," he said.
"What's alleged in this video - and I haven't seen all the details of it - is very offensive to all fine-thinking Australian people.
"The school is investigating it further, so too will the police."
The Education Department is also investigation but says it has been unable to watch the video because the YouTube site is blocked on its computers.
The New South Wales Opposition wants to know if there has been a breach of racial vilification laws.
"Racial vilification is an offence in New South Wales under the Racial Vilification Act, as is the distribution of unclassified videos and the vilification of any racial group is wrong," Shadow Attorney-General Chris Hartcher said.
"It was, of course, the vilification of Anglo-Australians that led to the Cronulla incident last year."
[But of course it was not only Anglo-Australian vilification it was also Islamophobic vilification. A clash of cultures so to speak and beat up by the Ultra Nationalists and mass media. So why give the impression it was only a one-sided story?]
[What about Alan Jones and the mess media who incited the race riot and the violence at Cronulla Beach? And it was more like the opposite way around according to the evidence and police report i.e. Islamophobic, incited by the Mess Media. So why is the NSW opposition only giving you all a one sided impression here? Great electoral candidates I must say? Certainly not Ultra Nationalists either?]

Australia: one year after the Cronulla riots, racialist provocations continue
In this light, the anniversary was marked by one particularly significant event. On December 11, 2006, exactly one year to the day after the Cronulla riots, Howard announced the introduction of a new citizenship test.

[Disparity of the law]
[What about the dilemma of War Criminal John Howard and Alan Jones and the like who were complicit and who incited the Cronulla race riots not being investigated or charged with racial vilification breaches?]
Education Department spokesman Tom Urry says when school returns, teachers will be asked whether any of the people appearing in the video are current students.
"Anything that brings our public schools into disrepute is concerning to us and that's why we're taking this very seriously," he said.
"We have a zero tolerance approach to this matter and we've given principals increased power to deal with what might be described as anti-social behaviour, but we first need to identify whether the people in the video are in fact our current students."

Australia: More race hate from the political and mass media establishment
Big media switches over to super race hate campaigns again no doubt to cover up for John Howard, while he gets a buzz in Broome WA on holidays? Or is this what we're going to get until their big media and political establishment can once again shrug off their responsibilities and complicity in their wide spread lies and hate at home and their killing in Iraq, which includes torture, and rendition. Once again this is about what someone is alleged to have said, all ears open. But what about corruption who's going to deal with that? Hey Howard? What about you Dud? No not big media! If it's left up to big media all we're going to get is islamophobia because it suits them, is divisive and is a great way to cover-up for their lack of responsibility. Thanks!

Lethal Notions of Capitalism [282]
Wealth creation and economic prosperity are, under capitalism, based on principles of competition and survival of the fittest. The phenomenon of capitalism, which is scarcely two hundred years old, it is grounded in these dominant ideas. The notions are not strictly memes, because they are not ingrained in all members of the society, but they are potentially lethal. Not only can corporations fail because they can't adapt to discontinuous change and economic abundance; whole nations can be impoverished unnecessarily and societies can wither and die of anger, recriminations and blame for corporate and other institutional misdeeds and collapses.
