VIRTUAL TRAVEL WITH DONNA
Former human shield Donna Mulhearn, now safely back in Australia, nonetheless finds herself in another country:
It was when the young policeman started twisting the wrist of the old man lying on the ground that I started asking the question yesterday: am I in another country?
Or maybe it was before then, when the police officer in charge told the small group of demonstrators outside John Howard’s Sydney office that they weren’t allowed to carry flags as they walked from Phillip Street to Martin Place. Not allowed to carry flags?
Since when?
Since now apparently. Ten years of John Howard’s reign has left us with a culture of violence, rampant racism, and a police state where gentle old demonstrators are being injured by police and the public not allowed to carry flags!
John Pilger will be pleased; he hates flags.
For a group armed with only a megaphone and a man in a John Howard mask doing some street theatre, the police response was excessive.
Word on the street is they weren’t police but a rival street theatre outfit. Sydney could be headed for a repeat of the vicious Mime Wars that tore this city apart in the 1980s.
As I surveyed the scene my stomach churned ...
Street theatre will do that.
... I felt like I was in another country.
France?
The group decided to ignore what seemed like a ridiculous and “un-Australian” order. They would carry the flags and headed off. It was then the police formed a barricade across the footpath to block the group. Police started pushing people to the ground and grabbing the flags.
Imagine the response from certain groups if you’d been carrying cartoons.
This is when the old guy was knocked down. His flag was ripped from his hand and he was held down by several beefy officers, obviously not going anywhere. It was then one young officer grabbed the man’s arm and started twisting it as if he was determined to break his wrist. I was stunned.
Any chance of a name, Donna, so we could check out the story on this “old guy”? Not that we don’t trust you, or anything.
I quickly moved across and politely asked the officer: “Can you stop that? You will break his arm. He’s not going anywhere, so it’s not necessary to hurt him further.” The officer only glared at me in reply and then several surrounded me. One yelled in my face: “who do you think you are?’ placed a hand on each shoulder and gave a God-almighty shove that sent me reeling.
After I found my feet, I could only shake my head in disbelief: I swear I was sure I was in another country.
Pushistan? Shoverania? George W. Push’s United Shoves of AmeriKKKa?
My mate, Jim Dowling, a Christian pacifist recently had a pre-emptive strike against him when he was beaten by police because they suspected he would ask a question at a public meeting.
That’s not how Dowling tells it: “As you probalby know,last Sept 1st I was assaulted by police for merely attending a public debate betweeen my local member Peter Dutton and Terry O’Gorman. Police claim I intended to make a citiens arrrest on Peter Dutton for war crimes, as I had done previously.” (Incidentally, Dowling is also a pal of our old comrade Bryla.) Having found her feet, Mulhearn used them to visit another demonstration at Martin Place:
The army of blue stretched for blocks. I have never seen so many police in my life.
And Howard is a man of the people? He is a man afraid.
Hey, Donna? You’ve got human shield experience. Why not volunteer to protect Howard from eggs, bottles, and semi-human idiot missiles?
It was here I mentioned to a friend how I felt like I was in another country. He sighed loudly and ...
... told me to quit the “another country” line. “It didn’t work the first time, Donna,” he said, “and you’ve been beating it into the ground ever since. I know you’re only writing for Webdiary, but get some decent material. Damn!”
Someone told me Stan Zemanek ranted about the anti-Howard demonstration last night: “Why do they bother?” he asked as if on queue.
You know that way people have of speaking when they’re standing in a line.
We bother because someone has to say that this is not normal. Throwing frightened, fleeing refugees into detention, invading countries we have no conflict with, allowing bosses to sack workers without reason, police thinking it’s their duty to injure old men.
This is what happens in other countries.
Actually, much worse things happen in other countries. Particularly in Iraq, where frightened, fleeing Kurds were gassed; Kuwait was invaded; and police thought it their duty to execute old (and young) men.
And when the US, Britain, and Australia intervened, Donna Mulhearn tried to stop them.

Did you the commnent on Webdiary following this journalistic masterpiece?
“Too many years of prosperity have produced a populace that no longer feels the keen edge of adversity.”
So THAT’s Howard’s Crime! He’s given us too many years of prosperity.
Posted by Susan Norton on 2006 03 04 at 11:25 AM • permalinkMaybe Donna saw an team of French Mime Commandos, who infiltrated Australia in order to protect French culture from Australian street theater?
On a serious note….Donna and her ilk (including Bryla, heh!) seem to have no grasp on reality. Or at least want to force their fantasy onto the real world. I’ve mentioned before that lefties tend to live in their own universe; I’ve just realized that lefties don’t think of it as an alternate reality, but as “another country”.
Broke the code on that one, I did. For whatever it’s worth.

Posted by Black Chick on 2006 03 04 at 11:38 AM • permalinkDear Sweet Donna Mulhearn,
Here is a place that you may actually be of some assistance…AND to soothe you, accompanying prose…
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.Volunteer human shields should be prosecuted as war criminals.
The purpose of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the Protocols Additional is not to force one side to fight at a disadvantage because the other side is breaking the rules; if this interpretation were correct, it would encourage the rules to be violated, since it presents the offender with a win-win situation in that the opponent is forced to fight at a disadvantage, lest he make himself guilty of war crimes as well.

She keeps getting into these heroic confrontations with thuggish American soldiers in firefights and Ozzie cops busy abusing wrinklies without a mark on her. Not to mention she has to be doing it faster than a speeding bullet because there never seems to be a photo record, and she’s obviously up up and away because the pigs never have time to slap the cuffs on her or write up a citation.
I mean, either that or she’s one fallacious bovine…

Excellent, dude!
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2006 03 04 at 12:51 PM • permalink“Too many years of prosperity have produced a populace that no longer feels the keen edge of adversity.”
Well that certainly lets the cat out of the bag. Assuming any of this poor woman’s claims are remotely true, once again the Left’s only solution to them, or any problem, since 1848, is “redistribution of wealth”. Well, since 1968 they have also had “lets kill our own offspring”, but that’s a different thread. As someone put it so succinctly here several months ago, they seek “that shabby hopelessness which the Left considers a state of grace.” For everyone but themselves of course. They’re the “vanguard”. Not me though, I’m a different “Vanguard”...
Posted by Vanguard of the Commentariat on 2006 03 04 at 01:02 PM • permalinkHmmm.

OMG that’s funny! I’m very thankful my coffee cup was not in my hands when I read that.
You know what’s even more amusing? There actually is a ozmeat.com. I was going to suggest someone reserve the domain and workup a website dedicated to MoDo’s search for Ozzy Manhood, but it’s a pity the domain has already been taken.
Still a great laugh though.
Posted by memomachine on 2006 03 04 at 01:05 PM • permalinkThis what happens when people REALLY do what this posturing harridan only dreams of…
“Today was an eventful day for Belarus. This day has all the chances to become a historical day, which will be remembered as “the end of the 2006 elections.” Our dictaorial ruler Lukashenka showed that he will stop at nothing and will use brutal force to stay in power. The “democracy games” in Belarus are over, effective today. I will not analyze the actual events (because at this moment many things are quite unclear and there are several possible and conflicting explanations of what happened and why), but I’ll simply make a chronology of the today’s events:
* In the morning, an opposition presidential candidate Alexander Kazulin (Kozulin) came to register as a participant in the so called All-Belarusian People’s Assembly, a Soviet-style “party congress” staged by president Lukashenka (which he uses to show in front of the TV cameras “massive people’s support”, in a Soviet way). Lukashenka and all his gang was there.
* Alexander Kazulin entered the building, requesting to be registered as a participant because his party (Hramada) has nominated him for this. Almost immediately, Lukashenka’s guards attacked him. They knocked him down to the ground and started kicking him with army boots. Among the people beating him was Dmitry Pavlichenko, a special force policeman who most probably killed two opposition politicians several years ago (at least, he’s the main suspect according to those who tried to investigate the disappearances of the famous politicians in Belarus).
* After they beat him up pretty badly, they dragged and pushed him into a blue van and transported him to the nearby police station. Here are some “nice” photos:
[Kazulin’s blood on the floor]
[KGB spooks roughly push him into the minivan #1]
[KGB spooks roughly push him into the minivan #2]
[Belarus’ KGB chief (right, Travolta-look) laughing happily after they dealt with Kazulin]...

On one station, the voiceover spoke of how JH outwitted the
rabbleprotestors by turning up after they’d gotten bored and left. He went in the front door.On the other station, spin was that he had to use a side door. To escape the
morons idiots imbecilesvaliant warriors.I didn’t see any of the violence that Donna is so concerned about, unless it was the great unwashed shouting and pushing and milling about.

Obviously, for the Mulhearns of the world police brutality is only bad when it’s directed at insane leftists. Those uppity brown people probably deserved it anyway.
Mulhearn’s fictions aren’t even backed up by the other moonbats.

Posted by Steve Skubinna on 2006 03 04 at 06:34 PM • permalinkI followed #30 link to the Sydney protest and I did not see any Australian flags, which I was expecting to see after reading Donna’s report, she may have wanted it that way, ambiguity seems to be built in all reports and articles from her ilk.
The fevered mind of the left requires constant stimulation.
Donna should also consider that, Howard is in power because there is no one to his right, yet.In these days of approching national suicide, it is imperstive to find sources of good cheer. Whilst, drinking Carlsberg is certainly enjoyable , my spirits were truly lifted with the story of the two bloggers (ERIC SVANE + 1) who gate crashed an Islamic anti cartoon march in Paris and were rescued from stoning by quick witted French police.
As for Australia, i have produced my first CHE EXECUTED MY OLD MAN tee shirt which is guaranteed to reduce the likes of Donna to tears or foaming rage at the next “We hate our country demo”.#9 Did you see where the link went to and the disgusting anti-Bush amateur-hour film clip by the Democratic Underground perverts.
What is particularly galling is James Blunt is a former soldier and he wrote the song while he was serving in Kosovo.
Then these fools send it to the James Blunt fan boards trying to seek his approval!

then there is this:
Investigation into Howard function ‘violence’
An investigation is underway into complaints of police violence against protesters outside a Melbourne function where Prime Minister John Howard last night celebrated his 10 years in office.
Left-wing protesters threw plastic bottles and eggs and jumped on the prime minister’s car as he drove along Clendon Road in the affluent suburb of Toorak.
No arrests were made.
Socialist Party members and representatives of the National Union of Students, the Maritime Union of Australia and Victorian Trades Hall Council chanted slogans as guests turned up for the lavish dinner at the Myer retail family mansion.
One of the protesters, Anthony Main, accused police of “unacceptable” behaviour, claiming officers had kneed demonstrators.
“I think it was totally uncalled for,” he said. “I think the Victoria Police need to explain themselves on this issue.
“I mean, putting the knee into protesters is just totally unacceptable.”
Throwing bottles = acceptable

PM Honecker had just praised the Tien An Men massacre, and Stasi chief Erik Mielke had ordered demos to be suppressed and issued thousands of troops with live ammunition. With hindsight, the demonstrators (non-violent) won; without hindsight, how brave the demonstrators were!

Hate that photo you linked to. But it should get a picture post all of its own.
I think that one picture sums up most of what is wrong with the middle east. It eats its own young.
Does anyone know if prima-Donna is on a sickness benifit or normaldole payments?
A lot of older ferals are on sickness benefits as it is slightly higher money (I might be wrong) and lower accountability.
If prima-Donna recieves donations from others to fund her activities does she report these to the dole office?Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 03 04 at 09:25 PM • permalinkoff topic but today’s Sunday Age is a collectors’ item: perpetually published letter writers Marilyn Shepherd (Margo’s acolyte) and Peter Kartsounis of Footscray have their Howard-hating letters back to back. In the past 24 months, Shepherd has scored 27 Age letters and Kartsounis 29. But try getting a non-left letter published - even just to correct The Age’s published ‘facts’.
Incidentally, the hopeless innumeracy of Fairfax subs is indicated today by the sidebar (Age, Investor p2):
“An average Australian family is likely to spend about $448,000 to raise two children to age two.” I know prams cost, but…
And poor Terry Lane gets it wrong in his column’s very first line:
“We didn’t get to the Man of Steel’s $1000 a head knees-up…” Try $10,000 a head, Terry.Having been on the recieving end of a number of violent “protests” I am allways amused by the breathless reporting. “The 30 police instigated the violence against the 500 protesters”. BALLS, the last thing you want is to be 30 vs 500!
And the way throwing rocks, hitting with poles, throwing urine ect, isnt “violence”. I get similarly shitty with wingeing about tear gas being used, having some exposure to both and having used both tear gas is hands down my prefernce for a mob.
You can kill someone quite easily with a bad baton strike, even when used well it causes sometimes severe injuries (knees, elbows ect), whereas gas is just nasty. You can quickly get over its effects, and provided medical assistance is in place any anaphlactic reactions can be deal with as well.
My favourite offical qualification I have is “Chemical munitions operator”.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 03 04 at 09:34 PM • permalinkHere’s one nutter who gets more than a megaphone; he actually gets a nonsensical column in Brisbane’s Sunday Mail:
“Have you noticed the deafening silence out there, it’s really eerie that the neo-cons who supported the war in Iraq have nothing to say…well, they were wrong.”Pardon the quantum leap in logical reasoning here, but when they emptied Woogaroo out, they gave most of them prescription tablets; only one got a newspaper column.
The idiot’s name is Soorley by the way, and if you care to waste an email abusing a dickhead, his address is .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)As usual, it is left to me to defend my fellow Public Intellectual in Donna Mulhearn.
The only good Kurd is a gassed one, we always say, and females only place unwanted strain on the limited resources of the middle eastern education systems. Also, many of those so-called rape victims in Kuwait were probably asking for it.
Posted by Margos Maid on 2006 03 04 at 10:37 PM • permalinkJohn Bilger writes - “on “Australia Day,” 26 January, ... flags are distributed and often displayed with gormless aggression.”
So if you insist on doing boorish things boys and girls, such as displaying your country’s flag , try and do it with a little less gormless aggression.
What a pillock
Posted by Whale Spinor on 2006 03 04 at 11:36 PM • permalinkSo what’s the deal, Whale? Is aggression okay if it’s gormful? Sadly. I have no idea how to go about doing that.
Posted by Steve Skubinna on 2006 03 04 at 11:50 PM • permalinkI don’t understand what these idiots are trying to accomplish. Chucking eggs at Prime Ministerial vehicles and generally making idiots of oneselves is also not normally regarded as “normal” behaviour.
These idiots are, in fact, one of Howard’s greatest assets. When people see images on the news of idiots behaving like idiots around the PM, who do these idiots think the viewers are going to sympathise with?
They’re just such…
The army of blue stretched for blocks. I have never seen so many police in my life. And Howard is a man of the people? He is a man afraid.
John Howard issues commands to the NSW police? Actually, Donna, you should be aware the NSW police are under the command of your fellow travellers - the NSW government is a labor government - a bright green, high-taxing, good friend of the downtrodden and oppressed.

Why is it that I suspect not one of her lurid claims is true, or even remotely approaching the truth?
