WordPress censored my CIA post or was it the CIA? December 12, 2007

WordPress censored my post, CIA torturers get sexual thrills. It was run under Cruelty  and Unconscious satire tags but censored from nineteen other tags, including Australia, Courts, Environment, History, Humour, Journalism, Justice, Murder, News, Politics, Swimming, terrorism, Torture, War, Water, media and fashion (as in fashion in torture). Such censorship, for it happened in 15 seconds or less, means that the CIA have infiltrated WordPress. Sure I accused them of receiving sexual pleasure from torture and supplied circumstantial evidence but the poignant point is they are geared to censorship the internet almost instantly. Or was it WordPress? The story referred to the recent CIA destruction of tapes. I think that what happens to this post will supply more evidence in the matter.

Learn to bully and suckhole at the police academy November 19, 2007

It’s really pleasing that police recruits have as much expectation of money as a students registering for a Masters in Business. It’s so Australian. And for them to already have the culture down pat from their instructors and lecturers. Evidence of this? The treatment, as reported in The Age, of those lecturers who were part of the anti-corruption investigations. On cue the police students razzed the best in the force. Talk about a college for those desiring to know how to go about bullying and corruption. Perhaps an ad to that effect should be titled, Toading to gangland criminals while maintaining record retirement funds. Or perhaps, Do the bullying and corruption and win success in the State’s Police Force. Sign up here.

The cretinous dogs of the Burmese Army are looking after British oil pipelines November 15, 2007

The murdering and raping Burmese Army cretins are doing the bidding of the oil companies who have pipelines through the country. Yes, it appears British oil companies have the audacity to lobby the American government to keep the Burmese dictatorship alive (See Free Burma News site). So how do we judge the American government as we see pics and video of children who have been murdered by the slavering Dogs of the Burmese military and know that the Americans are frozen in the face of their addiction to oil? The most powerful country in the world is weakened by the moral dilemma that Burma poses for them. Go to Avaaz.org and sign the petition that may reactivate the American government’s conscience. We’re not talking about Bush here, he doesn’t have a conscience, or much of anything these days.

Mullet was mauled and should be charged as an accessory after the fact of murder November 15, 2007

I guess most bloggers love to get it right. The fact that the Police Association’s, Paul Mullet, has been suspended and faces criminal charges is a great boost for justice in the State. I wrote the story two days ago and mentioned he should be charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder because he derailed an investigation into the murder of a police informer. Christine Nixon is tougher than Mullet because she hasn’t gone down the road of being a criminal influence within the police force, and is not frightened to make the tough ethical decisions.

A different justice for criminals and our cops November 14, 2007

It would appear that there is a different justice for criminals and the Victorian police force. Again the police force have been involved in murder (see previous posts) and police association leader, Paul Mullet, seems to have been involved in it as an accessory after the fact, derailing an investigation into the killing of police informant, Shane Chartres Abbot, by protecting a union delegate who provided the address of the above to a hitman.

Police commissioner, Christine Nixon, has really performed superbly in her job, choosing the right people to help her solve the violence criminals were performing on one another. However the faulty line of authority caused by senior police who have come to regard corruption in the police force as the regular way of things, has given a decisive turn to the way police are regarded in the state. Gone is the image of police fostered by benevolent television shows like Blue Heelers, Homicide and the rest of the unreal crap foisted on viewers. Now we have an image of tough, opportunistic money-makers who were after power. As a story editor I was hired by Blue Heelers to take the soap and the unreality out of the series in its early days, but Southern Star, who were producing some extraordinarily good programs and documentaries wanted something to balance their good stuff, and Blue Heelers suffered.

Now we can expect the public to view our police force with as much suspicion as our remaining gangland crims.

Cops killed for the Painters and Dockers but now politicians are blind to their Armani suits. November 9, 2007

I’ve been exposing the Victorian police in my novels for several decades; through all those times that politicians maintained what a great police force we have. It began when I observed police behaviour as a crime reporter in the sixties. I saw the things that happened then and stored them up for the years I could write about them. There was no way I could have used the names of those involved because of our libel laws. There were the members of the Homicide Squad who killed for the Painters and Dockers. Occasionally criminals took on the corrupt police – the likes of Jack Twist (great Dickensian name) – but no one else did. There was the time that the Attorney-General Arthur Rylah had his wife found laid out on the high cement path to her clothesline. She was fully dressed, and laid out like a body on a morgue slab, her shoes placed neatly at the back door. After a young ambulance driver, who was found dead a week later of flu, accused the Homicide Squad of not doing their job, Arthur Rylah was under house arrest for twenty four hours and then released. A few years later I examined the file on the murder but it was empty.

Now we have Mr Brumby, the darling of the Melbourne Club (according to the Victorian archives, edited by Michael Cannon, the Melbourne Club used to sell grog to the aborigines on the Yarra River bank) saying he thinks the Victorian Police are doing a super job. Of course this is a class thing. Melbourne Grammar Old Boys are seldom pestered by police in their Toorak houses and Range Rovers unless they’re delivering drugs to known criminals. The police are unsure how they should approach such affluent individuals.

However politicians should have known the police force was on the cusp of something big when plainclothes cops began to wear Armani suits. It was the Licensing Squad who first adopted that sartorial look but it quickly spread to other squads. Now that senior cops have been rumbled it is time to say that Christine Nixon has done a great job but we must remember that it is the majority of the cops who are corrupt not the minority.
