How Australia Beat COVID-1947

Image
How Australia Beat COVID-1947 Australia has been hailed across the world as a COVID-19 success story while the UK is still crippled by its grip. It’s because of a “serious mistake”. Australia is a fortress of hope in a world conquered by COVID-19. But, even as vaccines raise the prospect of relief, the siege is growing stronger. And the cracks in our defences are growing. All are being blamed across the world for overwhelmed health systems, stalled economies and soaring death rates. Australia has dodged these bullets. So far. A federal government accused of repeatedly ignoring expert advice before the devastating 2019 bushfires was suddenly eager to put epidemiologists at the heart of the public health emergency. Go fast. Go hard. That’s the advice Australia – and its states – received and acted upon.

The March to War, Iran and the Strategic Encirclement of Syria and Lebanon

A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.   The encirclement of Syria and Lebanon has long been in the works. Since 2001, Washington and NATO have started the process of cordoning off Lebanon and Syria. The permanent NATO presence in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Syrian Accountability Act are part of this initiative. It appears that this roadmap is based on a 1996 Israeli document aimed at controlling Syria. The document’s name is A Clean Break. The 1996 Israeli document, which included prominent U.S. policy figures as authors, calls for “rolling back Syria” in 2000 or afterward. The roadmap outlines pushing the Syrians out of Lebanon, diverting the attention of Damascus by using an anti-Syrian opposition in Lebanon, and then destabilizing Syria with the help of both Jordan and Turkey. This has all respectively occurred from 2005 to 2011. This is also why the anti-Syrian March 14 Alliance and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)

Russia sends warship to Syria in support of Assad as UN claims his soldiers have killed 256 children.

Image
Russia is sending warships to Syria in an apparent show of strength in support of   President Bashar al-Assad. The move to defend Moscow’s interests in the strife-torn country came as a United Nations report revealed horrifying new details of children being tortured to death by Syrian government thugs. Last night, the disturbing claims piled more international pressure on Assad to end the bloodshed that is believed to have claimed 3,500 lives. Russia’s flotilla of warships will give pause to Western leaders pushing for the kind of military intervention in Syria that ultimately drove Muammar Gaddafi from power in Libya. Russia, which has a major naval base in Syria and whose weapons trade with Damascus is worth millions of pounds a year, joined China last month to veto a Western-backed UN Security Council resolution condemning Assad’s government. Russia is planning to send its flagship aircraft carrier, the ‘Admiral Kuznetsov’ along with a patrol ship, an anti-submarine craft and oth

Arab League Imposes Syrian Sanctions as Civil Conflict Grows

The Arab League imposed unprecedented sanctions on Syria, including a freeze on financial assets in Arab countries and a travel ban on senior officials, after it failed to stop its crackdown on protesters. The measures also will halt dealings with the Syrian central bank, Qatari Prime Minister told reporters yesterday in Cairo. The Arab League banned financial transactions and trade with the Syrian government, excluding basic commodities, he said. President Bashar Al-Assad, 46, is under economic and political pressure to end an eight-month crackdown against demonstrators, inspired by popular movements that toppled leaders in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. The violence has moved the country closer to a civil war as military personnel defect and take up arms against the government. “Sanctions may put more pressure on Assad, but he will continue his current crackdown as is unless something really big happens,” Paul Sullivan, a political scientist specializing in Middle East security at Georg

Australia, Wake up Australia, Multiculturalism Is A Failure

Wake up Australia,  Multiculturalism Is A Failure... Over an extraordinary nine months, the leaders of Austria, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Germany and France have declared that multiculturalism is a failure. Countries in Europe are finding different ways to deal with the explosive issue of multiculturalism and assimilation. The author of Immigrant Nations, Paul Scheffer is a professor of urban sociology at the University of Amsterdam. Scheffer supports ethnic diversity , but not multiculturalism . Asked if Australia should abandon multiculturalism, Scheffer is clear in his position. “Absolutely. I think it is the wrong the philosophy. It is the philosophy of avoidance.” According to Scheffer "multiculturalism always talks about the discriminations of the majority, and they're there, in the discrimination of the labour market, and so on. But there is also plenty of prejudice within the minority communities." For Scheffer, the pr
