(Cont'd) Australia Threatened By US State Terrorism

64.140.158.81
Continuing, US de facto pro-opium policies (including price-elevating domestic banning and the huge post-invasion opium expansion in Afghanistan) make the US (and its UK and Australian allies) complicit in the 70,000 heroin-related deaths globally EACH YEAR (14 times the total number of Western civilians killed by jihadists over 20 YEARS) and about 500 heroin-related deaths in AUSTRALIA EACH YEAR due to criminal activity benefiting directly from US state terrorism in which the Australian Government and its politicized Security are both slavishly complicit. (It should be noted that these estimates of heroin-related deaths are independent of injection-related HIV and other infections. According to UNAIDS there are currently 37.8 million HIV-positive people worldwide, 4.8 million were newly infected in 2003, 2.9 million died in 2003 and 20 million have died since 1981).
Former president of Indonesia, Abdurrahman Wahid, a great and good man who helped rescue Indonesia from 40 years of US-backed military dictatorship, has recently indicated that the Bali bombings (that have killed about 100 Australians) probably involved the military. Successive Australian Governments and Security have supported the US-backed Suharto dictatorship and trained (and have recently resumed training) the notorious Kopassus Special Forces units responsible for immense atrocities against civilians.
The major crimes of the US-backed Indonesian military have been 500,000 people murdered in 1965 (the "anti-communist coup"); hundreds of thousands imprisoned since 1965; 200,000 East Timorese murdered out of a population of about 600,000 during the 30 year Indonesian occupation after the US-sanctioned invasion; horrendous human rights abuses in addition to outright killings; backing of militias responsible for atrocities in East Timor after the independence referendum (information denied to Australian servicemen, NGOs and police by irresponsible Australian Government and Security); atrocities in Papua and Aceh over 40 years; the SIEV X refugee boat disaster (353 mostly women and children drowned in a process involving Indonesian military and police and variously Australian Government and Security); continuing military-backed atrocities against Christians that have killed thousands; and a post-1950 avoidable mortality (excess mortality) for Indonesia of 71.5 million.
US state terrorism-linked Australian Government and Security with resultant CLEAR COMPLICITY in the criminal, post-2001 deaths of about 2,000 Australians (not to mention the current 4,000-6,000 avoidable indigenous Aboriginal deaths EACH YEAR) have already installed appalling legislative violations of Australian civil and human rights and have now secured substantial bipartisan support for even more draconian violations of Australian rights.
The 2002 ASIO bill was passed with bipartisan support. It allows for 7 days detention without charge or evidentiary basis; possible revolving door re-arrest after 7 days; potentially 5 years imprisonment if Security is not satisfied with non-supply of answers or requested documents (noting that in Science it is impossible to prove a negative); unless approved in the first warrant nobody outside can be contacted; and anyone reporting the detention within 2 years faces 5 years imprisonment. These draconian measures violate the 1948 UN Declaration of Human Rights to which Australia is a signatory (notably articles relating to free speech, due process and no detention without charge).
The Conservative Coalition Australian Government has recently obtained substantial agreement from the Labor-ruled State Governments for draconian extensions to the present anti-terror laws, namely: 12 month control orders on court warrant (no charges, trial, employment, telephone, internet; further communication restrictions and tracking device tagging); preventive detention (detention without charge extended to 14 days); shoot to kill (plain clothes Security can kill if they deem fit); directly or indirectly praising "terrorists" (as defined by US state terrorism-complicit Government and Security) and "sedition" (saying anything They deem to cause public disturbance or worse) are serious offences; "recklessly" giving money directly or indirectly to a "terrorist"-related organization (as defined by US state terrorism-complicit Government and Security) attracts LIFE IMPRISONMENT; urging someone to help an organization of a country in declared or undeclared war with Australia is punished by 7 years imprisonment.
The proposed laws clearly violate the UN Declaration of Human Rights, notably articles relating to freedom of speech, association, employment and movement; the right to presumption of innocence; and the right to due process and habeus corpus dating back centuries i.e. the right not to be detained without charge and trial. These appalling laws have attracted cogent condemnation from the distinguished former Conservative Coalition Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, the highly responsible and humane Conservative Coalition Federal MP Pietro Georgiou, civil liberties groups, lawyers, law academics, the Law Council of Australia, the Australian Greens and Jon Stanhope (the Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory who defied the Australian Federal Government and put the draft legislation on the Web for ordinary citizens to see) . Nevertheless it is likely that poll- and public hysteria-driven State and Federal Labor will join forces with the Conservative Coalition to force through this legislation, which has been allowed only 2 days for parliamentary discussion.
The Conservative Coalition rejoinder is essentially "terrorism hysteria" (notwithstanding the absence of domestic incidents) and the demand to "trust us" trust the same Government and Security who lied about the pre-war reasons for illegally invading Iraq? Trust the US state terrorism-linked Australian Government and Security with resultant CLEAR COMPLICITY in the criminal, post-2001 deaths of about 2,000 Australians?
Through its slavish association with US and Indonesian state terrorism, Australia has already become COMPLICIT in gross abuses of human rights and the Geneva Conventions. The circumstances of the US Coalition occupation of Iraq violate virtually EVERY article of the UN Declaration of Human Rights for many Iraqis. Now this gross violation will extend to ordinary Australians. Already in Australia TODAY, the wife who publicly demands the freedom of her innocent but detained husband - or even reports his detention to anyone - will be imprisoned for 5 years.
What is most alarming about this lurch of Australia towards becoming a proto-Nazi rogue state is the sheer hysteria, dishonesty, inhumanity, racism and irrationality involved. Not only the physical safety of Australians is under threat from US state terrorism - Australia,s reputation, civil rights, human rights and democratic way of life are now acutely threatened by the US state terrorism-complicit Australian Government and a politicized Australian Security establishment. Peace is the only way but we must inform everyone about abuses of humanity.
