My Say

After so many requests for SOS-NEWS to contain an email form (as we included many months back), we are now including this for your comments and stories.

Hundreds of emails are arriving with concern of our bushfire ravaged bushland and government driven legislation that is not tendered to pending tourist who are now just becoming aware of our national "Lock It Up" policies.

In just 6 week 3,750 messages from the USA to Europe we have received, while the flow still remains.

A special edition of SOS-NEWS is being produced by volunteers just for international subscribers. This hosts website and publication references that are factual, not government and corporate driven spin-doctor façade, of the real Australia we now live in.

CRIMINAL LOSS: TIME FOR ANSWERS

Incinerated Koala from Bushfire Inferno
Information coming out of the cinders and holocaust of the Bracks Government post-electoral fire works celebration has left 1.1M ha burnt to bedrock in many, many areas.

Yes while all stops were pulled out to contain the "bureaucrats of Melbourne" water supply from burning, it was - to hell the rest of the mountains and forests - they are expendable. As one local said, "fire was jumping firebreaks with uncanny precision, did it have anything to do with the over time card"?

Forests, so carefully confiscated by radical green issues from local communities in recent years, where demonised about the environmental havoc that had been caused, people of the world need to see how the Victorian government professionals have managed our environmental impact under radical green directions.

It is said about 0.5M ha of beautiful forest has been burnt down to nothing, with once majestic trees several feet in diameter have just been abolished in vast areas.

There is "Nothing left"!

Axemen that were criticised publicly for their symbiotic relationship with the forest, now have an incurable heartache seeing the bush they tendered, so expertly abused by the government management process.

These Axemen were removed from protecting this forest over decades, and decades, to now having it destroyed possibly for all time. Certainly the lifetime of those families who cherished their big bush, knowing it like no others in this nation!

According to some old bushies, the giant among fires in 1939, which preceded the couple of decades where the "no burn tendency" was implemented because Government desk jockeys in State Forest, knew more than hundreds of years positive Aboriginal burns, then that system maintained by bushmen which produced our once pristine forests.

An estimated 10% of forest was burnt away in 1939, while an estimated 30% of the area in 2006, has been burnt to a crisp, leaving a moonscape, thanks to the wisdom of certain Melbourne water users policy decisions for institutionalised neglect.

Fires of convenience, eliminating opposition forests to "enhance superannuation investment Blue Gum forest plantations" is an alleged scenario to possible agenda driven tolerance that far exceeded very dangerous and inexcusable fuel loads.

All the forestry communities that had the skills, equipment, and know how, have now been removed by the gang green's, along with forests taken for salvation that now have suffered from their tender care by cremation, all within a few short years.

Forests left to burn under maximal fuel loads we now see charcoal remnants of Alpine ash trees once full of gliders and possums, birds, now all incinerated … gone!

How insincere are these greens? Where they out there in their stinking old clothes chained to a tree with a fire hose fighting to the last man?

No bloody way. They were home watching TV, hoping their water supply wouldn't get any soot in it with the air conditioner chewing energy!

If the foresters had harvested the Alpine ash timber before they were incinerated, it would have generated over $130 000 export dollars a hectare from the cremated 500 000 ha . You can see what a threat to the Blue Gum investment and carbon trading agenda that would have been to government and their corporate masters.

As for the government rehabilitation game, it has just begun.

Logs dragged over fire tracks, barricades put up, and the fire season is far from over.

What a junket, being on the government pay roll, collecting wages to watch the fuel build up for decades to supernatural levels, then when the fires are well over, triple time paid just to take photos and stand by your truck at a safe distance quoting nothing could be done.

Then comes the rehabilitation game. Plenty of PR and public sympathy can be generated by the spin doctors along with the Gang Green's.- "just watch"!.

A witness told of a National Park employee in NSW, who tried to take a water spray knapsack and rake hoe off a volunteer fire fighter as he set about putting out a spot over fire. The volunteer was told the helicopter would put it out! Looking to the skies there was no sign of any helicopter and none did appear.

"Are these people fairdinkum"?

How environmentally committed are these people or is it one of the worlds greatest hoaxes to destroy all that has been protected and nurtured by generations of bushmen.

The mighty dollar is obliterating your heritage under government hidden agenda's

Other bushfire volunteers, on the same fire, said the government employed experts torched a deliberately massive fire (purported to be a back burn) straight up a hill that was full of alpine ash trees. This area had been neglected for decades with candle bark around the tree roots, scrub and fallen timber, all hosted a massive fuel load to the destruction of that area.

Where's this accountability for premeditated destruction of Australian forests and water supplies?

Will we ever see justice brought to these people unless you the people make the first move? Make these bastards accountable to the people - their masters?

Will Garrett OK Spies?

Labor has moved to reaffirm that it supports the proposed United States defence facility at Geraldton in Western Australia.

The Government has agreed to host a new ground station for a US military satellite communications system.

Opposition environment spokesman Peter Garrett, of rock group Midnight Oil fame back in the 1980's, refused to comment whether he supports the plan, considering he is a long-time opponent of US, and wrote a song against them.

Garrett penned the lyrics "US forces give the nod, it's a setback for your country" that generated money for the band, never the good oil.

Now we see this radical green icon capitulating to personal nest feathering while executing party room puppet dance routines.

Interesting process the political party system uses to convert new member from years of dedication (and very high profile with Garrett) with a passion of issues, to a remote controlled clone of unquestionable bureaucratic agendas.


Pollies may be sick, but Pollies Pensions are alive

Victoria's new MPs already are pushing for better perks, dissatisfied that their retirement packages are not loaded to the level of their seasoned colleagues.

Mary Delahunty, former arts minister, who because of ill health left Parliament after serving almost eight years, was awarded a lifetime pension worth up to $3 million.

Readers from Victoria have emailed SOS-NEWS outraged at generous taxpayer funded parliamentary superannuation scheme, hosting many former politicians to a life of riley over many years.

NSW governments run a simular scheme and with an elected politician on the front bench, who we might say requires no qualifications to hold that position or be elected rides on a $400,000 package plus all the perks.

Hands up again who voted LABOR for another term in Victoria, the state of despair and dictatorship?

Take note NSW - it's your turn on March 24th

SNOWY HYDRO Government Mismanagement

The intent and goodwill of all governments to get the Murray Darling right is a positive sign.

But we have seen this before the corporatisation of Snowy Hydro when the three governments, the Commonwealth, Victoria and NSW came together to forge new agreements and legislation to better manage the Snowy Scheme. Instead, they used the pathway to privatise, to attempt to sell of a key asset in this country.

The fallout was an almost certain 'payback' to local communities when the NSW Government and Snowy Hydro - with the complicit support of the local Federal Member - then practically drained Eucumbene and Tantangara Dams with levels in Jindabyne continuing to recede.

The NSW Government appears to have forged agreements without consulting the community and effectively squandered the precious reserves of water, leading some farmers to plant crops without follow up water. This is outrageous behaviour.

I don't trust any of our governments to get water right. None on them have delivered the already promised water savings by salvaging wetlands or lining irrigation channels.

And this means they have effectively starved the rivers, the Snowy, the Murray and alpine rivers of vital living flows. Yes, a single desk for water but NO, to government interference and control!

What is a billion???

A USA Subscriber to SOS-NEWS sent us this in an email that relates so close to Australia, you only need to change the names and it fits right in with our government uncontrolled spending. It reveals the non consultation with the people who have allowed them this power they use agains us with no accountability.

How does this measure up to the $$$$ MILLIONS of promises from the major parties in this campaign for the March 24th NSW Election?

Editor



The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

b. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

c. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

d. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

e. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans. It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division . Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu, is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?

a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.

b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.
