Subject: FLY PLAGUE HITS Pfieffer Court Mt Barker SA.
A outbreak of flys has occurred at Pfieffer Court, Mt Barker, South
Australia.

Shiktskin arselifter, Malcom Fabian, has had is un-wiped arse pointed
skywards for several days now whils't pretending to pray to that paedophile
Mahommed.

Several dozen flies have made Shitskin Malcom's un-wiped arsehole their home
and maggots abound.

I am told the stench is putrid.

This is what shitskins look like with their heads buried in the ground and
arses pointed skywards waiting for their batch of flys to take up residence.

Subject: MALCOM FABIAN'S (kangarooistan) HERITAGE.
Imagine some poor abbo gin asleep under a tree.  Along comes this dirty
filthy Paki camel driver.

He spots the gin and seeing that her fanny is fly-blown, decides to give her
one up the arse.

Some of his spunk seeps through and a few months later Malcom Fabian enters
the world through that fly blown orifice.

At birth Malcom received a good dose of blow fly eggs and freshly hatched
maggots.

It is a well known fact that abbos are not known for their bravery.  In fact
history has proven that they are culturally a COWARDLY race.

Hence their propensity to beat up old ladies, rape and even murder them.
History can provide numerous instances of this.

Now lets look at Malcom's Paki heritage.

It is also a well documented fact that Pakis are not the bravest souls on
this earth.  In fact they are a down right cowardly lot. Hence there
propensity to blow other people up with bombs strapped to themselves.

Just look at recent events in India where Paki trained and bred Islamic shit
massacared dozens of innocent civilians in Lahore, India.

Now when you put these two lots of genes together you end up with a super
cowardly race of individuals just like Malcom Fabian of 5 Pfieffer Court, Mt
Barker, South Australia.

Malcom sees NOTHING WRONG with Islamic radicals like this arselifter at Fort
Hood, Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered more than a dozen individuals.  Malcom
in fact applauds this COWARDLY action.

Malcom's dementure is further exacerbated by the fact that he has become
obsessed by the Islam cult and as a result of his arselifting ways, the blow
flies have thrived in his arse especially due to the fact that there are
numerous TAG-NUTS surrounding his un-wiped arse.

Subject: what Maj Nidal Malik Hasan seems no different to what George Washington did

Is what Maj Nidal Malik Hasan did any different to what  George
Washington did in 1775

George Washington opened fire on American born soldiers MANY times

Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, a US-born citizen, opened fire at Fort Hood on
Thursday, killing 13 people. George Washington killed many thousands ,
and stole much of their land and wealth

 Some claim the shooting was  the most devastating ever committed on
military personnel on the Mainland of the US , yank soldiers are
always attacking each other , the winner always gets to pretend they
are HEROES

USA soldiers have killed over 600,000 other soldiers in one single
war , probably millions if all  wars are counted
Casualties and losses in civil war
110,000 killed in action
360,000 total dead
275,200 wounded         93,000 killed in action
260,000 total dead
137,000+ wounded

Is what Maj Nidal Malik Hasan did any different to what happened in
1775  when George Washington attacked the SOLDIERS of the  then
GOVERNMENT because he did not agree with paying 2  cents tax on a
pound for tea

More than 300,000 people are buried in an area of 624 acres (2.53
km2). Veterans and military casualties from every one of the nation's
wars are interred in the cemetery ,

TWICE that number were killed by other USA soldiers ON AMERICAN SOIL
in the Civil War
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War

The Fort Hood attack began at about 1330 (1930 GMT) on Thursday at a
personnel and medical centre at Fort Hood - the largest US military
base in the world, home to about 40,000 troops.

George Washington LED many attacks on the SOLDIERS of the then
Government , because he WON that makes his actions HEROIC , had he
lost or been captured he would hang as a traitor who killed tens of
thousands of his fellow native born countrymen

viewable at: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcgk9t7p_184d9tk9phg

Most of the people George Washington killed were American  born
citizens , not  born  in some over seas country  , Washington attacked
his OWN country's soldiers and killed thousands because e did not like
the way his country was being run , he chose to kill the Governments
soldiers ,  instead of using politics to achieve change like in
australia and NZ

Major Hassan simply followed George Washington role model and advice ,
seems its the American way , not the ISLAMIC way after all

The  American Revolution, whereby some colonists rejected the
legitimacy of the Parliament  to govern them without fair and just
representation, claiming that this violated their Rights  and it was
their LAWFUL right to use guns to rectify the problems they
perceived , by shooting the government  soldiers and those who
supported them

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War
in 1776 by formally declaring new LAWS applied  , and inventing a new
country  they named the United States of America — claiming
sovereignty and rejecting on the existing LAWS.  France had been
providing supplies, ammunition and weapons to the rebels beginning in
1776, the Continentals' capture of   army weapons in 1777 led France
to formally enter the war on the side of the  self proclaimed "United
States" in early 1778, which evened the military strength with
existing government forces.

George Washington went from a criminal who broke every law in the book
and killed THOUSANDS of his fellow countrymen , emerged as a HERO and
a role model that Major Hassan seems to have followed

Spain and the Dutch Republic – French allies – also went to war
against Britain over the next two years.

like all dictators Washington had HIS pictures put on the money and
statues erected all over the Country and anybody who  rejected his
overthrow was DRIVEN from he land

50,000 refugees were FORCED to flee for their lives , MANY ended up
moving to other countries including Australia to ESCAPE the madmen who
choose violence to FORCE their point of view

In areas under Washington's  control— that is most of the country —
People who chose to OBEY the existing  LAWS were labeled  " Loyalists
" were subject to confiscation of property. Outspoken critics of
Washington were threatened  killed and Forced to flee for their lives
50,000 REFUGEES spread out all over the world in the following decades
fleeing  warlord Washington  and often foreign mercenaries and  his
gunmen and dictatorship , others remained undercover and strive to
return the rule of LAW against the warlords who enriched themselves
endlessly stealing ever more land from their neighbors and native
peoples  and selling it to fund their warlords way of life right up
until TODAY

Sane men know where this gun happy madness eventually ends up ,
endless violence rules until the entire Empire implodes in on itself

Nothing can save the USA from  eventual self immolation , he who lives
by the sword dies by the sword , While George Washington remains a
role model the USA is doomed

    Those Loyalists who have adhered to the Unity of the Empire, and
joined the Royal Standard before the Treaty of Separation in the year
1783, and all their Children and their Descendants by either sex, are
to be distinguished by the following Capitals, affixed to their names:
U.E. Alluding to their great principle The Unity of the Empire.

The postnominals "U.E." are rarely seen today, but the influence of
the Loyalists on the evolution of Canada remains. Their ties to
Britain and their antipathy to the United States provided the strength
needed to keep Canada independent and distinct in North America. The
Loyalists' basic distrust of republicanism and "mob rule" influenced
Canada's gradual path to independence. The new British North American
provinces of Upper Canada (the forerunner of Ontario) and New
Brunswick were founded as places of refuge for the United Empire
Loyalists.

The wealthiest and most prominent Loyalist exiles went to Great
Britain to rebuild their careers; many received pensions. Many
Southern Loyalists, taking along their slaves, went to the West Indies
and the Bahamas, particularly to the Abaco Islands.

Many Loyalists brought their slaves with them to Canada (mostly to
areas that later became Ontario and New Brunswick) where slavery was
legal. An imperial law in 1790 assured prospective immigrants to
Canada that their slaves would remain their property.[21]

Thousands of Iroquois and other Native Americans were expelled from
New York and other states and resettled in Canada. The descendants of
one such group of Iroquois, led by Joseph Brant Thayendenegea, settled
at Six Nations of the Grand River, the largest First Nations reserve
in Canada. A group of African-American Loyalists settled in Nova
Scotia but emigrated again for Sierra Leone after facing
discrimination there.

Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) was a loyalist who fled to London
when the war began. He became a scientist noted for pioneering
thermodynamics and for his research on artillery ordnance. He
expressed a desire to return to the United States in 1799 and was
eagerly sought by the Americans (who needed help in fighting the Quasi-
War with France). Rumford eventually decided to stay in London because
he was engrossed with establishing the Royal Institution in England.
[22]

Many of the Loyalists were forced to abandon substantial amounts of
property

Thanks , kanga is not a good speller

so how come the Taliban are going to DEFEAT the greatest military
force in all history

General Cosgrove also spoke pessimistically about the war in
Afghanistan, saying success so far is only imaginary.

He says the conflict represents a battle for the minds of Muslims
across the world - a battle the Coalition is losing.

In a broad-ranging ABC Boyer lecture series , former defence force
chief Peter Cosgrove expresses pessimism about the course of the
Afghanistan war
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/boyerlectures/about/

In his opening lecture tomorrow, he acknowledges the high cost of
defending Australia .

"Every person who rails against the huge cost of a modern national
security policy is perfectly correct -- the costs are obscene," he
says.

But fundamentally, Australians accept that there is no defence

General Cosgrove says Australians remain troubled by the intractable
violence in Afghanistan.

"Success is yet only in the imagination and in prayers," he says.

Like Iraq , the Afghanistan war continues to provide a "battleground
for the minds" of Muslims around the world.

"I think we can confidently say we are losing this battle."

Yet despite no muslim threat having any jet fighters submarines or
army , they are DEFEATING those who WASTE billions  on  failed
military approach , its very clear existing wars are only expensive
GAMES to play with big toys and cream off billions from gullible
taxpayers and low IQ meat headed cannon fodder who are kept from
reading the FACTS

Australia will waste another $16 billion on the USA F-35 Joint Strike
Fighter program.

To prop up USA military / war business machine Australian taxpayers
are wasting hundreds of billions on useless technology surplus scrap
metal bought at inflated prices from USA middle men

Peter Cosgrove
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cosgrove

General Peter John Cosgrove AC, MC (born 28 July 1947) is a retired
Australian Army officer.

Cosgrove was promoted in 2000 to Lieutenant General as Chief of the
Army (CA) and in 2002 to General as Chief of the Defence Force (CDF).
[5]

He was the Chief of the Australian Defence Force from 3 July 2002 to 3
July 2005, when he retired from active service.

In a broad-ranging ABC Boyer lecture series , former defence force
chief Peter Cosgrove expresses pessimism about the course of the
Afghanistan war

[edit] Military service

Cosgrove was educated at Waverley College, then followed his father, a
Warrant Officer, into the Australian Army by attending the Royal
Military College, Duntroon in 1965. Early in his career, Cosgrove
fought in Vietnam with the 9th Battalion of The Royal Australian
Regiment, where he served with great distinction, receiving the
Military Cross in 1971.[1]

'Obscene' defence costs are necessary

Australia will spend $16 billion on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter
program.

    * lated Story: New subs to replace Collins Class fleet
    * Related Story: Defence plans to build super bases
    * Related Story: Questions over F-35's stealth capability

Former Defence Force chief Peter Cosgrove says the cost of defence
spending is "immense" and "obscene" but remains a necessity.

General Cosgrove has delivered the first of six lectures on national
security as part of ABC Radio National's Boyer Lectures series.
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/boyerlectures/about/

He says there is no cheap solution to Defence's need to modernise and
in all likelihood dramatically expand.

"When 100 years ago local fire brigades changed from horse-drawn to
motorised appliances, many people were aghast at the cost but didn't
quibble if it meant that they were safer," General Cosgrove said.

"Fundamentally Australians accept there is no cheap defence.

so how come the Taliban are going to DEFEAT the greatest military
force in all history

General Cosgrove also spoke pessimistically about the war in
Afghanistan, saying success so far is only imaginary.

He says the conflict represents a battle for the minds of Muslims
across the world - a battle the Coalition is losing.
