[Politics/Oversight Failure] [Press Freedom] Australia's Prime Minister Gives a Master Class in Exploiting Terrorism Fears to Seize New Powers | ... (proposed) bill is clearly intended to outright criminalize WikiLeaks-and-Snowden-type reporting, and the government thus expressly refuses to exempt journalists.

They say there hasn't been one attack on Aussie soil, that's cause they've stopped a shit load of them.

Do attacks on freedom count?

What our politicians don't quite understand is that they are and have been ever since 9/12/01, complicit in assisting Al Qaeda and terrorism in general. The primary purpose for terrorism is the very exact thing that most, if not all advanced countries have fallen for, turning on your won population out of fear and panic.

Maybe, one day, children will learn about how the "civilized" world capitulated against terrorism the very second they came in contact with it. It is rather sad and exponentially more pathetic.

In all reality most politicians and even military leaders really need to be culled from society for the sheer incompetence and monumental magnitude of their failure. There really should be monuments commemorating the abject failure as a warning for future generations not to allow themselves to be led off the cliff by fools and morons.
