Well, we didn’t need a “terrorist” event as such here to give us the police state. Hundreds of miles of NSW coastline is locked down, with masses of police randomly searching cars, and checking mobile phones for messages. Many more police are on the public transport. In addition the news is now all jumpy about any kind of criminal event, just as any explosion now makes people think straight away of terrorism. Like any big city, Sydney has its daily dose of violent crime and it always used to be reported in that pointless ho-hum kind of way. But now, every taxi driver who is bashed, every kid caught with a knife, every pub brawl is loaded with implications that “the trouble” is breaking out again. Its not really affecting me where I am, because I’m near the river , not surf beaches and if it it wasn’t for the reporting, you wouldn’t even know it was happening. The beaches are almost deserted. Because this is summer and holiday time, when people would normally be flocking to the beach, one can’t help but think that this is a big exercise in city wide “crowd control” techniques – how to herd people in and out of different areas. The obviously orchestrated manner of this is shown by the way that all around Australia, people are being told to stay away from beaches. If it was a few Leb gangs causing trouble on one particular beach in Sydney, it is absurd for beaches in Perth to also be made the racial battleground. Why not the Leb areas themselves ? Right up until this broke, the press demonization of the Leb community was all centred in the suburbs where they actually live – horror stories of gangs of youths roaming the streets, burning cars, raping etc. So logically, if there’s going to be retaliation, it should be in the Leb areas. And yet somehow, suddenly virtually all of Australia’s beaches are being declared the battleground – mostly by retaliatory rhetoric from the Aussie community. Aussies love the beach, and those who hate Arabs can go to the beach to get away from them anyway, because in general they have no presence in Australia’s beachside suburbs. So why would the retaliatory Aussie gangs, supposedly trying to hang on to their vision of sun, surf, sand and fun Australia, decide to fuck up their own jealously guarded piece of Arab free paradise by declaring the beaches the battleground and trashing them, instead of just invading the Arab suburbs and wrecking some shops or whatever ? It makes no sense, except as a large scale exercise to herd people from the beaches. ------------------------ Yahoo!
