Mining is okay, but not near prime agricultural land.
If you want to stop this madness, don't vote for the NSW Liberal Party (i.e. Mike Baird) this weekend.
I would never vote for The Greens at federal level, but I will vote for them at the state level to stop this insane madness of mining near farms and water catchments.
Actor Michael Caton also has a video on Facebook suggesting who to vote for to avoid these mining disasters.
A union campaign against Chinese investment in New South Wales' electricity assets is racist and puts trade relationships at risk, the state's Treasurer says.
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) is running an advertising campaign claiming China's government-owned State Grid Corporation is a "likely buyer" of leases over the state's power network.
The state's Coalition Government is seeking a mandate to partially privatise state-owned electricity assets and Treasurer Andrew Constance met with State Grid Corporation representatives late last year.
Spooky Dale Hurd has made another cheery video about Muslim immigration. Via GatesofVienna:
The following video is from the “Warnings” series aired on CBN. In it Dale Hurd interviews an immigrant to Sweden (who is also an economic researcher) about the economic effects of the refugee crisis in Sweden, and the increasingly deluded response of the Swedish elites.
Mandarin speaker, and former panda hugger, Dr Michael Pillsbury provides evidence, in their own words, of the Chinese plan to restore their historical place as the global superpower.
Jake Bilardi was an unlikely suicide bomber for Islamic State. The gentle teenager from Melbourne (Australia) dreamed of becoming a political journalist.
Yet the more he studied politics and history, the more he formed the view that Muslims (and others) were oppressed victims of aggressive Western/colonial powers. Muslims were simply freedom fighters. He viewed democracy as a sham, which should be overthrown by violent global revolution (and he had terrorism plans for Melbourne).
And this political view eventually morphed into a love for the religion of Islam.
He spoke as if he had a deep knowledge of Islam, but yet still seemed to hold the view that fighting for Islam is only justified in self-defence. (But both Islam and Islamic State advocate offensive violence, so go figure). He only mentions the prophet Muhammad once in his manifesto, so I dare say he didn't really know Islam as well as he thought he did.
Anyway, the whole shebang is a consequence of the demented Western policy regarding Islam.
The only sane policy regarding Islam is to acknowledge that it is inherently predisposed towards a violent interpretation, and thus Islam is a clear and present danger to the non-Muslim world.
Hence the appropriate policy is to somehow keep Muslims and Westerners separated, and to leave each other alone, as far as possible.
Bilardi had a demented view of both Islam and the West, caused by the media, academia, and political class who live in a fantasy land that breeds idiot children like Bilardi through their narratives of "Islam means peace" and "Westerners are evil colonial racists" etc.
So, don't be surprised if some kids grow up and actually believe these demented narratives.
This is a must-watch, breakthrough speech that literally SCREAMS questions at Obama, asking if he is stupid, asking if he really loves America, asking him to acknowledge that Islamic extremism actually exists, and to wake up to the dangers of Iran.
Rudy Giuliani gets full marks for emotional content, but maybe less for intellectual content. My comments below.
Good questions by Giuliani, but they miss the key point slightly.
Obama cannot do what is necessary to defend America i.e. to acknowledge that Islam is predisposed towards a violent interpretation (far more so than other religions).
He can't do that because of the implications that follow (a) it implies that the terrorists might be true Muslims which implies that (b) moderate Muslims might be ignorant fools about Islam and (c) logically we should stop all Muslim immigration.
Obama can't do any of those things because his identity is partly Muslim (due to his family heritage, his Arabic middle name, childhood in Indonesia, Pakistani college friends, travel to Pakistan, etc).
Muslims are Obama's family and friends. To acknowledge that Islam might be violent, would be humiliating for all moderate Muslims, and for Obama with his Muslim heritage. He will never do that.
This is what happens when you elect a president with DIVIDED loyalties.
Does Obama love America? Yeah, in some ways. (He loves non-white America). But he also loves Muslims and, in this case, he is putting the feelings of moderate Muslims above the security of America.
In the interests of not offending moderate Muslims, Obama cannot identify the enemy and cannot begin to defeat it.
Obama is the president of moderate Muslims, he is not the president of America.
Hence Obama deflects away from Islam with talk of the Crusades and the universality of violence. It's all a distraction. Meanwhile the Islamic threat grows everywhere.
In “Audacity of Hope” Obama wrote: “I will stand with them [Muslims] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
He wasn't kidding. His loyalty to Muslims comes at the expense of US national security.
