As the NSW election nears, the ABC moves on from obfuscating over the Israeli election. There is still a lot of horse trading to be done, but at first blush the conservative Likud under Netanyahu has won handsomely. The ABC have worked hard to suggest the so called centre left would defeat the party they call right wing. Such rhetoric is telling and misleading. Likud is conservative. There are right wing parties, Likud is not one of them. There are left wing parties, but none are centre left. The main opposition to Likud is populist left. Similarly in Australia, The Liberal Party is conservative. They aren't right wing, and there are a few parties that get little recognition that are. The ALP are not centre left, but populist left. In Australia, under Bill Shorten, the ALP have no policy on any issue, which is why they cannot negotiate with the government on any issue. Shorten has a mental illness which is clearly expressed in his speech, and which the partisan press label as 'zingers' but which are in fact a clear inability to understand the issues of the day. Now the ABC obfuscates over the NSW election. A partisan ICAC which has been unable to present a finding of corruption against the Liberals has claimed scalps through what can only be described as corruption on the part of the ICAC. They have failed to clarify the depth of corruption clearly visible of the NSW ALP. ABC have drawn attention to what are rumours and innuendo in order to turn the public's eye from the excellent NSW Lib Government and it's responsible budgets and public works.
On this day in 37, Caligula managed to have Tiberius' will annulled and was made Emperor. Tiberius had been abysmal as Emperor, a threat to any wealthy Roman. Caligula was worse. In 1741, poor people and slaves were said to be burning buildings in NYC. They wanted freedom? A few were hanged and gibbeted, while others were sent away. In 1765, The UK parliament ended the stamp act, but couldn't stop the developing resentment which became the Revolution of 1776 to 1783. In 1834, six trade unionists were sentenced to be transported to NSW from Dorset. Had they been hanged instead, maybe there would be no ALP? In 1850, American Express was founded by Wells and Fargo. In 1892 in Canada, former Governor General Lord Stanley ordered a silver cup be made for ice hockey, for the best team. In 1921, another peace treaty was signed in Riga between Poland and the murderous Soviets. In 1922, Mohandas Ghandi was sentenced to six years in prison, but only served two, for civil disobedience. In 1942, a Democrat President established an authority to place Americans in concentration camps if they looked Japanese. In 1946, diplomatic relations were established between Switzerland and the murderous Soviets. In 1959, GOP President Eisenhower signed a bill which would welcome Hawaii as the fiftieth US state. In 1985, the first episode of Neighbours was broadcast. In 1990, former communist Germany voted in a democratic election. On the same day in the US art thieves stole twelve paintings worth $300 million. In 1992, South Africa voted to end Apartheid.
2014
American Express was founded on this day in 1850, making the world a little smaller and better for travellers. The world is very big. So big that when Tiberius died, the Senate amended his will by making Caligula emperor. Caligula was what the press now call a popular choice. Caligula would treat the roman Senate with the same contempt of a Craig Thomson addressing the parliament. Still, Rome was capable of correcting her mistakes, as they did on this day in 235 with Alexander Severus and his mother. In 1834, England made a big mistake sending 6 trade unionists to Australia. The suffering continues. On this day in 1922, Ghandi was sentenced to 6 years prison for civil disobedience. He served two. Today, we suffer from similar sentencing issues. Had it happened today, no doubt Willessee would bargain on behalf of Seven in an attempt to let Ghandi trade on the fame garnered by civil disobedience. For his part, Ghandi might have to wear a "fuck you Tony" T-shirt. To paraphrase Hawke addressing the UN, fucking Gillard would be first prize of a lottery. Tickets given to ALP backbenchers. Multiple entry winners. The silly old bugger.
Winning the longest ever hide and seek game, on this day in 1989, was a 4400 year old mummy found near the pyramid of Cheops. Their prize seems similar to Hawke's one, the brain matter scooped through a hole in the nose, and then covered up. East Germans got to vote for unification with a richer, better state on this day in 1990, echoing Crimea today. But the glory went to a white man in South Africa who had the grace to offer a vote in 1992. It seems sad and nasty that divisive socialists have not honoured the graciousness. But there is hope that there never was under apartheid.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
