Earlier in the week a Priest conducting a mass was reported as demanding that a person consume the consecrated host in front of him. I was a bit confused about the article and the significence of the consuming ‘on site’ requirement In a letter in todays Australian,quoted in full below, all is explained. Apparently it is done to stop witches and satanists from getting a valid ‘host’ for their black masses. Yep! That’s what it says. Shades of Salem I find that a bit mind blowing. With all the problems main-stream religion is having they waste time combating ‘black masses’ when they should be combating ‘black hearts’ amongst their ranks. An unholy row If journalists are going to report on a priest demanding that a person consume a consecrated host at a mass (22/9), they should do some research first. What is sacrilegious is for someone to receive holy communion and to take it back to their seat unconsumed, or even to hold on to it after mass. Such a practice is rife among witches and satanists who frequent Catholic masses to get a valid host for their black masses. Whatever Fr Gerry Prindiville’s faults are if any, he acted rightly. I am disgusted with the behaviour of Sr Dominique and the lynch-mob against Fr Prindiville at St Vincents in Redfern, Sydney. Furthermore, Archbishop George Pell has just as good credentials in social justice as does the previous priest Fr Ted Kennedy. Fr Paul Stuart Carlton, Vic What a load of ‘nothingness’. Get real guys.

Go on over to Paul and Carl’s daily diatribe and redefine ‘vindictive‘ in your thinking. I don’t care if it is a suburban myth, it’s a good one and a payback for all the poor bastards who have ever been cuckolded.

Back to things that matter. A drug created by the former KGB to keep its agents sober so that they could drink opponents under the table before stealing their secrets is being sold on the internet to Hollywood stars as a defence against hangovers. The drug, known as RU-21, is made in Russia and sold as a natural remedy. Hollywood actors are said to be fond of the fix, named after the legal drinking age in the US, which enables them to make the most of the party circuit without the red eyes or headaches on the film set the next morning. Its makers say it stops the body making an enzyme that turns alcohol into acetaldehyde, a toxic chemical that can damage tissues. I want some. I wonder if my DVA Doctor would write a script for me?

The Sydney Morning Herald confuses ‘hijack’ with ‘shooting boarding passengers’ in this article from Bangkok. Police in Thailand have reportedly thwarted an al-Qaeda plot to attack an Israeli El Al airliner in Bangkok. Thai police had arrested a man who allegedly had been filming around the El Al counter at Bangkok airport, and in a raid on his home found a plan to attack passengers as they headed towards their plane, the Israeli television report said. It gave no details about the man, who had been arrested about three months ago, but it said Bangkok airport was considered by Israeli authorities to be a sensitive area for possible al-Qaeda attacks. Still, the message is there. The bastards still haven’t been put down. They’re still planning on killing innocents. More pressure needed. More hunting parties!

Good. Now you understand that basic concept do something about the schools of hate you run. I read on to note that the President of Pakistan agrees with me to a point. General Musharraf told more than 20 world leaders and foreign ministers attending a counter-terrorism conference that the Islamic world had an obligation to reform the religious schools, or madrassahs, that “preach hatred” and to “shun militancy and extremism”. But he said this would only “be feasible if the West joins us by helping to resolve all political disputes involving Muslims with justice”. I agree with this but point out that the Islamic world is still on the back foot here. They produced the hate mentality that resulted in the WTC and Bali obscenities, not the the west. Throughout my years of education and that of my five children, not once did I hear the term “How to hate Islam” mentioned as a study subject. Start rewriting your school curriculum now and try teaching maths, science and language! In case you haven’t worked it out yet, that is the basic difference between our societies. Teaching kids religion, and one based on hatred at that, never put food on peoples tables or produced a work force smart enough to create an economy with the ability to lift the poor bastards above the subsistance level. I can just hear the Left winding up. The core of the problem is the US attitude to Israel. Supporting Israel against Palestine enrages the Islamic world and while the BBC and it’s Australian clone support the PLO cause the people in the West don’t. When the PLO stop sending their kids to blow themselves and Israeli women and kids into small pieces, Israel can stop killing the perpetrators and we might be able to talk. Until then stop teaching hatred. Read more>>

Over at my Wontoks site in Texas is an article by Rand Simberg. It deals with the similarities of the post-war Iraq and post-war Germany. Interesting reading and well worth the time. Go there

Try this for a confused loyalty background. Grew up in West Australia and played Aussie Rules until 17 when I enlisted. Rugby only in the Army! (I nearly lost my chance of a commision when in answer to a General’s question of ‘what position do you play? I answered ruck and full forward!) Spent 4 weeks in a RAAF hospital next door to a rabid Essendon supporter and followed them for years. VFL goes AFL and the Eagles join the league. Change to barracking for my home state. I then resign from the Army and move to Brisbane. Now I follow the Lions but if the Eagles or Essendon come good I’m not that distressed – but Collingwood……………..no way. It promises to be a good match as Collingwood aren’t there by accident as they were last year, and after watching the Swans fold under attack this weekend just gone, I have high hopes for next Saturday. It’s refreshing to be able to disagree with Tim Blair on something. His site is currently the cyber equivalent of wearing your heart on your sleeve. Great graphics though and easy to change to ‘in-mourning all black’ next week.

Now the wowsers are attacking ‘shouting’, at least in NSW. Shouting a mate who’s had a few too many may soon prove costly. The state’s liquor watchdog has proposed a fine for drinkers doing what many Australians would consider is their moral duty – buying a round. The fine could be as much as $5500. In this article in the Sydney Morning Herald the Nanny State strikes against society. The proposal arises from a submission to the alcohol summit by the Liquor Administration Board, calling on the Government to consider making it an offence to buy alcohol on an intoxicated person’s behalf. How are they going to police this piece of loony thinking? There is enough arguements in pubs now over who’s shout it is, let alone when admission could incur a fine of $5,500. I can just see those we all know, with long pockets and short arms, using this as an excuse not to shout. It also fails to take into account that shouting presumes all drinkers in the shout have had an equal amount of drinks so who’s going to be sober enough to make the call. This is not to say that we don’t have alcohol related problems, we do. But might I suggest that the answer lies more with education than baseball-bat type Nanny State laws. Still, once the wowsers start talking you know it will gather speed. I think it’s time to start dusting off the bar at home. No, they wouldn’t, would they…..I mean come around home and book me for having that last beer I didn’t really need?

If this doesn’t worry you, it should. Australian prime ministers should be stripped of their power to send troops overseas, according to Australian Democrats Leader Andrew Bartlett. Senator Bartlett said the approval of both houses of parliament should be required before Australian troops were committed to any conflicts. A referendum should be held to change the rules, he said. I can see it now. The Indonesians..oops, the Musorians, are landing at Cape York and when the bill gets to the Senate Bob Brown points out that all problems between Australia and Musoria are our fault as we blatantly enjoy life, drink alcohol, fornicate heterosexually and do other unspeakable acts in defiance of the Word of the Prophets and we should negotiate and apologise. During the debate, Senator Bartlett tables a private members bill demanding we apologise to the aborigines first as if we don’t, we have no rights to the country, let alone the right to defend it. The Indonesians, oops the Musorians, advance down the penninsular and are on the outskirts of Brisbane while the debate, back to the Senate for the second reading, rages. Carmen (I can’t remember) Lawrence, the new President of the Labor Party makes a public denouncement of those people who support defending Brisbane as acting in defiance of the UN Human Rights Charter, of which Australia is a signatory, that clearly states all human rights abuses originate in the West and for the well fed, educated, testosterone overloaded and smugly superior Australian diggers to attack and possibly kill the poor disadvantaged starving Musorians (I got it right this time) would run the risk of 144.5 million innocent victims somewhere in the world. All of these victims would be cute looking seven year old kids with Aunties working in the ABC. She also stated that on previous performances the Jakarta Museum would be ransacked and the Borobudur temple and surrounds would be destroyed by unthinking and unfeeling F111 pilots. I wonder how Bartlet’s referendum would go?
