Milne resigned from Greens leadership in Australia's Federal Parliament. Her 'achievements' include preventing the Franklyn Dam in '83, campaign against a pulp mill in '88, implementing a carbon tax, establishing Australia's highest ever debt, failing to prevent the abolition of the carbon tax. Her achievements mean that Australia must cut spending now or risk being unable to support her children in Welfare, Education or Health. As inept as Milne was, she still managed to freeze out aspirant Adam Bandt. Band is not competent either. But the party is full of bigots who hate Israel and whose commitment to actual environmentalism is questionable. So that they are more likely to support BDS sanctions than they are to work for a healthy Australian environment or even affordable healthcare. It isn't about the personality, it is all about policy. But there is little difference at the moment between ALP and Greens.
On this day in 1527, Rome was sacked by soldiers of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. Charles had inherited very large estates, and had trouble managing it all. Some Italian states and France squared off against Charles V in an attempt to free the papacy from Charles V's control. But after Charles V won an engagement against French troops, he had not sufficient funds to pay his men their promised wages. So his victorious troops marched on Rome and sacked it. Twenty thousand faced barely six thousand defenders. The killing included the 147 strong Swiss Guard who defended the Pope, allowing him to flee, as well as 45000 civilians dead, wounded or exiled. It has been called the end of the Renaissance. In 1536, Incan forces attempted to retake Cuzco from Spain. It wasn't solely defended by Spain but by locals as well. Over a hundred thousand Incan warriors besieged it for over ten months against some thirty thousand defenders. The siege was unsuccessful. On the same day the siege began, Henry VIII ordered English language bibles into churches. In 1542, Francis Xavier made it into Goa, India, where he would do his most successful missionary work. In 1659, a faction of the British Army removed Richard Cromwell as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth and reinstalled the Rump Parliament. That was a crucial step for the restoration of Charles II.
In 1757, poet Christopher Smart was entered into an insane asylum. It is doubtful he was insane, but rather owed money. He became 'devoutly' religious and his excessive prayers were found to be obnoxious. He wrote what are now recognised as his greatest works in the six years he was in asylum. Few people today would have heard of him, he died in debt. Few things are more irritating than left wing leaders making promises they never intend to keep. Irish republicans murdered Thomas Henry Burke and Lord Frederick Cavendish on this day, in Phoenix Park, Dublin. Cavendish was the nephew of Gladstone, then PM of England. Cavendish had just been appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland. The guilty were found and hanged. In 1933, the Deutsche Studentenschaft attacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, later burning many of its books. In 1937, the German zeppelin Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed within a minute while attempting to dock at Lakehurst, New Jersey. Thirty-six people were killed.

ICAC is campaigning very hard to have its work curtailed by political intervention. It has claimed a police minister and two premiers of NSW without ever presenting a case against any of them. It now threatens to produce a report and time it for three months prior to the next election without providing details to the accused of what they are accused of. Coincidentally, today is the birthday of Maximilien de Robespierre who was incorruptibly stupid. His contribution to modern society was to model behaviour that gives teflon to the left .. he had his convictions of left wing idealism. He silenced his enemies by killing them. And he was executed by many that had been used by him to kill others. It seems that the ICAC are daring conservatives to shut it down before it executes its duty to weed out corruption .. corruption that flowered for sixteen years of ALP government under an ICAC watch.
Today is also an anniversary of a success of Thomas Cochrane. Cochrane was the protofigure of Hornblower. He was radical and persecuted by Tory conservatives. On this day in 1801, Cochrane, on board HMS Speedy (14 guns, 54 men) captured El Gamo (32 guns, 319 men) from Spain. Cochrane flew an American flag and approached so closely to El Gamo that its guns could not depress to fire on the Speedy's hull. The Spanish tried to board and take over the ship. Whenever the Spanish were about to board, Cochrane pulled away briefly and fired on the concentrated boarding parties with his ship's guns. Eventually, Cochrane boarded the Gamo, despite being outnumbered about five to one, and captured her. Thirteen years later, Cochrane was accused of profiteering from a fake report of Napoleon's death. He had profited, but legitimately, but was convicted by a conservative court and government willing to turn a blind eye to facts. He was later pardoned, after twenty years, and reinstated into the navy where he rose to Admiral of the Red.

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
