LIVING IN THE COMBAT ZONE

In December 2005 TV screens across Australia flashed and flickered ad nauseam with images of Southern Cross-caped young Australians venting dangerously overfilled spleens. From those same screens, the talking heads spewed rage and indignation, urging the entire (white) population to hang their heads in collective abject shame. For days the 'riot' on the screens was projected repeatedly like a whirling hypnotist's disc apparently intending to mesmerise us with our own foulness. Just when we looked like being accepted into the human race after centuries of evil deeds and institutionalised racism. Didn't we feel as though the only honourable thing to do was to shrivel up and die right in front of our televised moral superiors?

In the days after the stormy event at Cronulla, a sleeping giant of stored hatred shook itself awake and one of the few honest journalists in Australia took note of what he could only describe as an 'insurgency' that began convoying out of Muslim ghettos to unleash a storm of destruction, bloodshed, fear and grief. To the scribblers and talking heads though, this was simply a 'revenge attack', an anaemic euphemism so soothing the dozing viewer need not be alarmed in the least.

Meanwhile, back to the real atrocities perpetrated by hate-crazed, blue-eyed devils sullying our good name in every corner of the civilized world and creating admirable role models in the uncivilized parts ...

Now go back to sleep sweet viewer and dream dreams of unity in diversity in the paradise that can only be created by the magic of multiculturalism. Admittedly, the magic has failed dismally in every other part of the world that it has been attempted, but Australia is different - it doesn't belong to the real world.

But just like nature, the real world does not concern itself with juvenile, human fantasies. Another serious problem is that time has a habit of changing. There was a time when, cocooned as we were a long way from trouble and strife, we viewed the violence-rent US with sad disbelief. 'It couldn’t happen here,' we naively believed. Still labouring under this illusion, only a few short years ago we hosted the “friendly” Olympic Games.

Fast forward to now, when the chickens of mass, indiscriminate immigration have come home to roost with a vengeance. Rarely a day goes by when a murder isn’t reported – usually in a small piece buried in the depths of the local tabloids. There was a time when a murder would have rated banner headlines. Sydney, particularly in the South West – an area dominated by Middle Eastern, essentially Lebanese, immigrants – is now a dangerous city. A fusillade of bullets narrowly misses petrol bowsers in broad daylight and a gangster lies dead. An exchange of gunfire is let loose in a shopping centre car park, peppering cars with bullets and allowing shoppers to escape with their lives -- only just. In a suburb named Cabramatta, but known to locals as Vietnamatta, two men stroll into a back room of a pool hall about fifty metres from a police station. One is armed with a handgun; the other casually carries a Samurai sword. Seconds later, an eighteen-year-old girl attending a friend’s birthday party lies shot dead. Sorry, wrong person.

“Drive-by” shootings occur with the regularity and casualness of the Hollywood variety that more than likely inspires them. Young Australian women are particularly at risk. News broke not so long ago of racially-motivated pack rapes perpetrated by Lebanese Muslim men only after around seventy such attacks had occurred. I’ll repeat that – seventy. Testifying courageously, victims who had come forward averred that the attacks had been punctuated by epithets such as “Aussie pig” or “Aussie slut.” The remorseless leader of a gang of some fourteen rapists, some of whom still haven’t been apprehended, was sentenced to an unprecedented 55 years jail. The severity of the sentence was slammed, surprisingly also by some feminists, as a manifestation of "racism." After a massacre in Tasmania some years ago by a rampaging gunman – the “lone nut” theory taken to its most suspicious extreme – the law-abiding citizenry was subsequently effectively disarmed by a “buy-back” scheme. This in no way affected the non-law abiding citizenry whose ownership of hand-guns rises exponentially.

In a sweet irony, ATMs may soon run dry as security guards, repeatedly being robbed of their firearms, threaten industrial action unless demands are met for greater security: guards for the guards. An idea being mooted is that security guards be provided with bright red guns. This, it has been asserted with a straight face, would lower their resale value. Police stations and even military establishments are being raided and looted for firearms. Although the problem of Middle Eastern crime has been known to be growing for the last ten years, it was only relatively recently that an organization known as Task Force Gain was formed by state police to combat it. Earlier proposals for such a task force were frustrated by former Police Commissioner Ryan because, as reported by the Sydney Morning Herald, “of fears that it would be seen as racist and politically incorrect.”

Better late than never, Task Force Gain has already arrested approximately 200 suspects linked to predominantly Lebanese or Middle Eastern crime syndicates. Robberies and drug offences make up the bulk of the charges but also included are a sprinkling of some nine murders and various shooting incidents. Almost inexplicably, these young gangsters, most of them born here of parents looking for a better life, seem to hate Australia and Australians with an intensity that would peel paint. Many young Australians have been victims of vicious attacks seemingly for no other reason than their Australianness.

A former police sergeant and “whistle blower,” Tim Priest, forced out of the force in 2002, warned repeatedly that a time bomb of ethnic crime was developing in the South West. Priest claimed that Middle Easterners were involved in crimes as diverse as extortion rackets, industrial strength car theft, drug importation, ware-house and factory break-ins, and drug importation. He also had strong words to say about “multicultural zealots” who, aided by their “politically correct allies in the media,” rendered the issue almost invisible. And still, unashamedly and with the earnestness of religious fanatics, we are told of how much multiculturalism is enriching our lives. One almost feels guilty for not showing enough gratitude.

All this of course pales into insignificance in the face of the heinous and loathsome, indelible stain that blackened our history on December 11, 2005, a day that will live in infamy - amongst the dwellers of cloud cuckoo land.
