What Happened When Guns Banned in Australia

After Australia banned and confiscated guns from their citizens, promising them safety in return for their weapons, violent crime dramatically increased:

Armed robbery +69%
Assault with guns +28%
Gun murders +19%
Home invasions +21%

Americans should never relinquish their weapons.  The right to bear arms as written in theSecond Amendment has three main purposes:
(1) to allow our citizens to protect themselves, their families, and their property
(2) to allow our citizens to protect themselves from a tyrannical government
(3) to allow our citizens to resist foreign attack/invasion

Video: Trevor Loudon's Urgent Message for America


Trevor Loudon hails from New Zealand and owns the New Zeal blog.  Over the past several years he has done massive amounts of research on Marxist influences in America, and has the following message for the nation (video link follows).

In it, he describes how the Marxists of the world, especially Russia and China, seek to destroy the United States military as it is the only thing standing between them and world domination.

He also mentions how the Chinese have already told Australia that they now have to make a choice who will they seek for their protection, will it be China or the United States...

Australia Has Wrapped Itself in Agenda 21

Australia has effectively cut off access to more than 33% of its surrounding waters to demonstrate its submission to the United Nations' Agenda 21 and the Green Agenda just in time for the Rio+20 conference.
"It's time for the world to turn a corner on protection of our oceans," Mr Burke said. "And Australia today is leading that next step. 
"Australia has timed its announcement to coincide with the run-up to the Rio+20 Earth Summit - a global gathering of leaders from more than 130 nations to discuss protecting key parts of the environment, including the ocean, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy.

But don't lament, because one of the industries that will suffer from this exclusion of access to the natural resources of Australia will be compensated by the Australian taxpayer. 
The fishing industry is set to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation, reports say.
This appears to be a lose-lose situation for the citizens of Australia.  Their fishing industry takes a big hit, and then Australians have to compensate companies for the reduction of said industry.  Then, the reduction of the fishing industry will most likely have a negative impact on their overall national economy.
The fishing industry is Australia’s sixth most valuable food-based primary industry with a landed value of more than $2.1 billion a year. In addition more than 3.4 million Australians recreationally fish each year spending an additional $2.5 billion. (Source: http://www.frdc.com.au/fishingindustry/fishing-industry)
Australia to create world's largest marine reserve
Network of proposed marine reserves around Australia
Australia says it will create the world's largest network of marine parks ahead of the Rio+20 summit.
The reserves will cover 3.1 million sq km of ocean, including the Coral Sea.
Restrictions will be placed on fishing and oil and gas exploration in the protected zone covering more than a third of Australia's waters.
Environment Minister Tony Burke, who made the announcement, will attend the earth summit in Brazil next week with Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
"It's time for the world to turn a corner on protection of our oceans," Mr Burke said. "And Australia today is leading that next step."
Australia has timed its announcement to coincide with the run-up to the Rio+20 Earth Summit - a global gathering of leaders from more than 130 nations to discuss protecting key parts of the environment, including the ocean, says the BBC's Duncan Kennedy.
The plans, which have been years in the making, will proceed after a final consultation process.
Ocean parks
Last year, the Australian government announced plans to protect the marine life in the Coral Sea - an area of nearly 1 million sq km.

The sea - off the Queensland coast in northeastern Australia - is home to sharks and tuna, isolated tropical reefs and deep sea canyons. It is also the resting place of three US navy ships sunk in the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942.
The network of marine reserve will also include the Great Barrier Reef, a Unesco World Heritage site.
The plan will see the numbers of marine reserves off the Australian coast increased from 27 to 60.
"What we've done is effectively create a national parks estate in the ocean,'' Mr Burke told Australian media.
However, activists and environmental protection groups are likely to be less than satisfied with the plans, having called for a complete ban on commercial fishing in the Coral Sea.
The fishing industry is set to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation, reports say.
Some have also noted that oil and gas exploration continue to be allowed near some protected areas, particularly off western Australia.
The Australian Conservation Foundation said that although the plan didn't go as far as they would like, it was a major achievement in terms of ocean conservation.
Currently the world's largest marine reserve is a 545,000-sq-km area established by the UK around the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean.

Building Dhimmitude Consensus the Obama Way

According to the Boston Globe (umm hmm) Obama’s strong anti-war message was greeted with cheers from a youngish crowd of University of New Hampshire students (that’s spelled D-H-I-M-M-I-S).

"We are now in the midst of a war that never should have been authorized, never should have been waged," Obama told a crowd of close to 3,000 packed into the gymnasium at the University of New Hampshire. "Unless we bring that war to a close, we cannot deal with those other problems I just mentioned," such as education and healthcare, Obama added, his words nearly drowned out by the wild applause that followed his denouncement of the war.

Ok so let’s examine Obama’s Iraq war consensus plans, shall we?

1. Obama says that the war in Iraq never should have been authorized and never should have happened, and he has continued to hammer home the point that he was against the war in Iraq from the very start.

It’s all well and good to be a Monday morning quarterback Obama, (especially one who’s never played with the big boys), but Congress (that’s spelled C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S) authorized the war in Iraq over four years ago!

In October 2002, the Senate approved the Iraq war resolution 77-23, and earlier the House approved an identical resolution, 296-133.

The measure passed the Senate and House by wider margins than the 1991 resolution that empowered the current president's father to go to war to expel Iraq from Kuwait. . .

Obama’s Consensus Builder #1: The war was a disastrous mistake for which the Dhimmicrats take no responsibility, and we must pull out!

2. Although Obama has “no doubt that weapons are coming over from Iran into Iraq”, and that “Iran has a history of sponsoring terrorism and doing mischief,” he is “skeptical of reports by the Bush administration that Iran is helping to supply weapons to insurgents in Iraq”.

So basically, unless the names of the names of the American military officials who participated in this past weekend’s Baghdad briefing are revealed, Obama, like most of the Dhimmicrats, will remain skeptical. But, as we all know, it won’t matter how much evidence is eventually presented. Dhimmicrats are Dhimmicrats.

Today According to The Air Force Pundit, Thomas Harding, Defense Correspondent, UK Telegraph

Austrian sniper rifles that were exported to Iran have been discovered in the hands of Iraqi terrorists, The Daily Telegraph has learned . More than 100 of the .50 calibre weapons, capable of penetrating body armour, have been discovered by American troops during raids. The Steyr HS50 is a long range, high precision rifle. The gunds were part of a shipment of 800 rifles that the Austrian company, Steyr-Mannlicher, exported legally to Iran last year. . .The Foreign Office expressed “serious concerns” over the sale of the rifles last year and Britian protested to the Austrian government. . .

Obama and the Dhimmicrats will remain skeptical in the face of any evidence. Obama and the Dhimmicrats don’t want to see any evidence. Their minds are already made up. They just want out no matter what the cost to America’s security.

Consensus Builder #2: No amount of evidence of Iran’s involvement will ever be convincing to a Dhimmicrat.

3. Obama wants a “specific” plan from all candidates for ending the war in Iraq. Obama said that unless the war is brought to a close we cannot deal with education and healthcare. So without providing any details whatsoever, he spoke of the need to improve education and to provide healthcare to the uninsured.

Obama’s “specific” plan is very clear (as mud) in its lack of details. But, then, Dhimmi’s like charisma, men of little experience, and the constant roar of empty slogans, so it doesn’t matter.

Obama wants to pull our troops out of the war by March 2008, just ignore Iran, and concentrate on education and healthcare. He doesn’t really feel like it’s his responsibility to worry about repercussions. He’s playing the left’s bait and switch game. Like most of the left, Obama wants Bush to explain “how he plans to extricate American troops without setting off an even bigger war.”

No Obama, since you and the Dhimmicrats want to pull out, America wants you and the rest of the Dhimmicrats to explain how redeploy our troops from Iraq without setting off an even bigger war.

Obama’s Consensus Builder #3: Just ignore Iran and get the HELL out!

4. Obama says that his lack of experience is an asset. Well he’s getting some experience now! Don’t you just love his penchant for Orwellian Newspeak?

Exhibit A: Wasted American Lives

BARACK HUSSEIN JUST "REGRETS" GETTING CAUGHT

During his first press conference as a presidential candidate at Iowa State University, Obama, discussing his opposition to the Iraq war, said the war "should have never been authorized, and should have never been waged, and on which we've now spent $400 billion, and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted.''

He immediately realized he made a mistake, he later told a reporter. Even the most severe war critics in Congress have been very careful to praise U.S. troops and say nothing that could upset mourning families.

Reaches out to families Obama, in an interview with the Des Moines Register right afterward, told the paper, ''I was actually upset with myself when I said that, because I never use that term,'' he said. ''Their sacrifices are never wasted. . . . What I meant to say was those sacrifices have not been honored by the same attention to strategy, diplomacy and honesty on the part of civilian leadership that would give them a clear mission." By Monday, reporters covering Obama making his first visit as a presidential candidate in New Hampshire, asked Obama, campaigning in a Nashua home, if military families deserved an apology. . .

Exhibit B: Bashing Our Australian Allies

The Prime Minister from Australia is not going to apologize for comments he made about Barack Obama. Kevin Rudd today moved a censure motion in Parliament against Mr. Howard for the comment he made. John Howard rejected Mr Rudd’s assertion and defended that his statement was a general criticism of the Democrats.

“If I was running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for Obama, but also for the Democrats,” is what he told the Nine Network’s Sunday program.

Obama’s Consensus Builder #4: We can all learn to adapt to terrorism!

If you get a chance, email a note of thanks to Australian Prime Minister John Howard

Australia fights against terror in her neighborhood

Originally Posted at Right Truth

Australia is fighting terrorism and global threats in their region of the world. Some are claiming Australian Prime Minister John Howard and his government plan 'to politically and economically restructure the South Pacific'. Those folks sound like the lefties here in the United States, referring to the neo-cons, but in this case it is the 'Australian neo-colonialism'.

Howard’s comments are intended to signal that his government will not back down in the face of mounting hostility to its activities in the region, and will be prepared to utilise military force to suppress opposition. ... The Telegraph interview confirms that Australia’s recent interventions in East Timor, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Tonga, and Fiji are only the beginning of its long-term plans.

Howard understands this war on terror. He has no plans to 'take over' his neighbors any more than the United States wants to 'take over' the Middle East. He understands that this war will not be over in a few weeks or months:

Howard pointedly warned the Australian people to get used to permanent military deployment throughout the region. “This is a long, hard road, and it will need great patience and understanding by the Australian public to live with, probably for a period of 10 to 20 years, with a two-steps-forward, one-step-backward situation,” he told the Telegraph.

Terrorism and copyright piracy were among top security challenges that confronted American businesses in Asia in 2006, the State Department said Wednesday in a year-end security analysis.

U.S. businesses had to step up spending to protect facilities and staff in the region due to the terrorism threat, said the review by the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC), a joint government-private agency promoting security cooperation. (source)

Fiji's interim prime minister and military coup leader Voreqe Bainimarama has threatened to retaliate against Australia and New Zealand for imposing sanctions against his regime. ... Australia and New Zealand imposed military and limited civilian sanctions against Fiji in the wake of the December 5 coup. ... Bainimarama promised his government would respect human rights following allegations that coup opponents had been beaten and humiliated. (source)
It appears America is not the only country labeled 'bully nation' in this world, Australia is getting blamed too. We're in good company. Australia understands the enemy.
