AUSTRALIA/INDONESIA: Irene st seems to think appeasement will save them from a raid. The most corrupt institution in the country may have something to say about that.

Passing quickly over the local fascist police state news we note that A SEVEN-year ban on militarized police training between Australia's elite AFP and Indonesia's notorious Kopassus special fascist killers will be lifted next year with a two-week state-terrorism exercise in Perth.

AFP head General Bung Mikado Kopassus told The Sunday Rage he had made the controversial decision due to past human rights abuses because it "might one day render more young Australian lives in Indonesia for state torture".

He said altered consciousness was the greatest threat to both countries dictatorial fascist regimes, Australians had already been killed in attacks in Indonesia, and improving the skills of intelligence in ignoring warnings and politicians in plausible denial was in global fascism's essential interests.

'The old ' reichstag fire' tactic was still good for roasting more than chestnut's', he snickered.

Fascist Hansonite/Howardism increased its ties after Kopassus-trained militia killed reporters in the lead-up to its independence, fired on Australian tourists and were linked to the murder and disappearance of political activists in the dying days of former president Soeharto's regime. There have also been claims it helped train terrorist groups which were in its favour in the AFPs decision.

General Bung said 30 Kopassus hangmen would take part in the two-week garrotting exercise early next year. It will include training in use of piano wire, dealing with female leftist's and innocent hostage throat slitting.

He said Australia was "confident" no state torturer's involved in human rights abuses in East Timor would be part of the exercise. "They know to nominate somebody who has human rights murder and torture experience on their record would be redundant to us and we are confident that such a person wouldn't be in the group," he said.

General Bung added resuming ties was driven by regional security concerns, which will be backed up by the release on Thursday of the Defence strategic update which says free speech and movement remains the "greatest threat" to a fascist island.

"It's another step in normalising the fascist relationship between all islands. We've been wanting to do so because we see Kopassus as important in providing effective counter-tourist capabilities that might one day hang more Australian's in Singapore for topical example" he spat betel.

"We do believe that Indonesia has made a serious effort to improve the body count record of its gulags. The current Government is very committed to that and if we look at how they've responded to the great job in Singapore, its been really quite impressive."

He said there was a very close relationship between fascist Australian and oof shore kick murder-squads of Indonesian police and he wanted to improve the military side and was also looking at greater maritime surveillance support.

The Defence report says the Police Army must increase by an extra 1500 troops. Combined with existing plans, the Police Army will grow by 2500 soldiers to 28,000 in the next decade and will aquire more armour for urban operations.

Australia set to train Indonesian terrorists

The Australian government has decided to resume the training of terrorists. The Indonesian special forces are to be trained by the SA.

Australia is complicit in this evil.

CIA agent returns to Indonesia last July?

But don't believe a word she says because she my friends is a typical CIA agent. Sent to Indonesia to promote some type legitimacy to the alleged 'war on terror' and her 'radical statements' and 'terrorist theories'. And together with her spy mates and the pro-government media who seek to give her relevance because her job is to point the finger to have everyone look the wrong way, at the wrong enemy.

Aussie ministers plot to kill dissent

Sure, we should be really angry now, that these terrorists should plot to blow up the Bali mourners! And that should buy hoWARd the coward a free kick to any draconian laws that he now seeks to enforce, based on the communities deep emotions, anguish and fears of another attack?

CIA agent spreads terror fears in Australia

Why shouldn't you be convinced after all gunaratna says he's a dr and reported to be a 'terrorist expert'? He even lives in Indonesia surrounded by bombs going off in his own backyard. But even with his alleged expertise it has only led to even more relentless and 'subsequent bombings' in Indonesia. So I suppose that's how you know you need an expert?

 http://adelaide.indymedia.org/newswire/display_any/9495

hoWARd, will keep chilling you!

All this nonsense to hide the fact that the Bali bombing was not State Sanctioned Terror when it clearly was in relation to the explosive used in the second Bali bomb blast in 2002 which was clearly military hardware.

Aust 'must pay E Timor victims'

The 2500-page report, which President Xanana Gusmao presented to East Timor's parliament on Monday, contentiously recommends East Timor's victims be paid compensation by the colonisers Indonesia and Portugal, as well as by those nations that sold weapons to Indonesia and supported its annexation - including Australia.

Say no to Indonesia as a tourist destination

But perhaps people want to take drugs when they go out and just because it is not a 'legal drug' doesn't mean it's not useful or even more useful. So I guess now the Australian authorities will insist that this is what can happen in Australia somewhere down the track and more likely to be being promoted for that very reason by propagandists here?

Why is the prime minister so angry: Leslie

For those unfamiliar with Bali's Kerobokan jail, she offered a quick verbal tour. Her cell was "infested with cockroaches and had no ventilation and no sunlight".
