Jew-hating freak David Hicks returns to Australia “eight years after he left his Adelaide home for the adventure of a lifetime in Pakistan.”

Well done, SMH. That’s the friendliest reference to Nice Dave since the Bulletin this week described him, in a cover line, as an “Aussie ratbag” or similar.

UPDATE. Hicks wishes to pursue a career in ecology and the environment. But of course.

    1. The SMH is a rag. I can’t believe people still buy a newspaper like that.

      But I’m still not willing to discount a high-paying job with them:

      “David Hicks, the true-blue Aussie man whom the evil empirical Americans have oppressed for the past five years, has landed in the country which welcomes him as it’s own. Hicks originally went to Pakistan eight years ago to help its citizens liberate themselves years ago, but his valiant mission was interrupted by evil men. George W Bush is believed to be responsible.”

    1. …he left his Adelaide home for the adventure of a lifetime in Pakistan.

      OK, that made me choke on my coffee. I’d be willing to wager that the next time Osama bin Hidin’ makes headlines, they’ll have a sidebar chronology of his “militant” career entitled, “Osama’s Excellent Adventure”.

    1. I’d congratulate Australia on not having to endure any more “Free David Hicks” nonsense, but now you’ll have to listen to him crying his tale of woe everywhere he goes.  Best to keep him drugged up or drunk and sleeping it off in a corner.  I doubt that’ll be a problem.

    1. What an abortion of a newspaper.

      As much as I love you guys, I admit I’m glad he’s back with you.  I’m glad that we’re no longer paying for his considerable upkeep.  Maybe you could cut costs by putting him on a diet.  And in the general population.

    1. Hicks, convicted of providing material support to a terrorist organisation, has spent more than five years at Guantanamo, one of the world’s most oppressive prisons.

      Too, too fatuous. Prison life, anywhere, tends to be tedious, at best, and dangerous, at worst. I doubt that Gitmo is anywhere near as bad as certain maximum-security prisons on the U.S. mainland. And its probably several orders of magnitude less oppressive than the kind of filthy holes maintained in other parts of Cuba by Fidel.

    1. #11: for the fairly obvious reason that if he had been in US airspace, the ACLU would have rushed off and got a tame left-leaning federal judge to rule that he should be landed and put on trial (or something similarly obfuscatory and embarrassing) in a US court and establish all sorts of precedents of the type we most definitely do NOT want. even the remotest chance of such a can of worms being opened was worth spending whatever to avoid.

    1. Ecology and the environment, eh?  Well, you can’t say the man’s inconsistent.  If he can’t wield totalitarian power one way, he leaps to another.

      RebeccaH, perhaps they were concerned he might try something, like crash the plane or sumpin, if he flew over US air space.  Given that guards must handle with extreme care, they were probably forbidden to do anything to stop such a thing, and since there would be no civilians on-board, there’d be nothing and no one to stop him.

      “Sydney man Mamdouh Habib … said he hoped Hicks would soon have the chance to tell his story.

      “It’s a big relief that David Hicks is home,” Mr Habib said. “We can show who is right and who is wrong. Any question can be answered.”

      Gag.  Truly sickening.  Where’s the violins?

      And by the way, let’s have those answers!

      For a start, what about chapter I of Hicks’ “adventures”?  His activities in Bosnia?  His terrorist training in Afghanistan?

    1. Just heard Louise Adler, who published Antony L (The Questionable Jew)on 3AW.

      She compared Hicks to Nelson Mandela, on the grounds that Mandela was originally jailed for treason and as a terrorist and is now acknowledged as a freedom fighter.
      She is aching to publish Hicks’ story and thinks that if he got paid he would donate his money to “charity”.

    1. Mel & Kochies Jihad On Climate with David Hicks.

      Kochie – Well today we have a very special guest, thats right its Australia’s own David Hicks.  David, how does it feel to be an Australian of the year winner?

      Hicks – Beaut Kochie, just beaut.  Bonza.

      Mel – giggles

      Kochie – So why don’t you tell us a little more about our new segment.  Perhaps you could explain the meaning of the word jihad and why we need a jihad on climate?

      Hicks – Well Kochie, Jihad usually means killing infidels, especially Jews and Americans.  But sometimes, like when your speaking to the Age or Sydney Morning Herald, it means a peaceful inner struggle.  In this case it means killing our worst polluters.

      Mel – giggles, flutters eyelashes

      Kochie – Sounds a bit extreme David, why go to all this trouble?

      Hicks – Its for the polar bears Kochie.  You see, pollution emits carbon, and carbon goes into the sinks, but because of the greenhouses the sinks are getting blocked which causes a feedback loop in the atmosphere and that causes more rain, and less rain, and rising temperatures and colder weather.  The main culprits are Zionists.

      Mel – Twirls hair, giggles

      Kochie – So if the average person wants to make a difference, you know, because they really care, how can they help.

      Hicks – They can start by replacing their old light bulbs with new environmentally friendly ones and also by ensuring their car uses only biodegradable plastic explosives.

      Mel – Giggles, licks lips suggestively

      Kochie – Thanks David.  Tune in next week when we take the Jihad to the Lucas Heights reactor!

    1. The local version in Brisbane is 4ZZZ, the oldest public broadcaster in the country- at least their supported by listeners and not the taxpayer; I listen to it more than JJJ, as the music’s better and there’s LESS idiot leftist ranting- I expect Hicksie to be doing the drivetime show on JJJ as soon as he’s paroled. I’ve been running a complaint campaign against the parasitic fuckers, but it’s a fairly pointless exercise- written complaints to the minister don’t even get answered; if enough people did bith to Coonan though about the politicisation and promotion of private agendas (and products) on the ABC she might have to get off her flabby arse and do something about it.

      Regarding ‘Mo Daewoo, I reckon ratbag sounds about right- it’d be a hoot to stuff the fat bastard into a burlap sack full of starving Rattus Norvegicus, and watch it wriggle. Wonder what a burping rat sounds like?

      If that seems a little harsh, perhaps prison management will let him keep a pet.

      At least he’s not going to be incarcerated here, where they indulge in punishment which would be viewed as torture by a devout follower of the prophet such as Hicksie.

I’m sure a couple of 5.56mm injections would have been much cheaper, and saved the daffiness of Hicksie’s elevation to lefty icon status (which will last until he opens his gob and starts snorking on about filthy Jews and where’s all the sheilas with big norks?)

      SMH: “Who are trying to kill you?”

      Caller: “Al-Queda.  They found out that I am no longer a muslim and they are out to get me.  They call it ape-something.”

      SMH: “Look, I don’t know who you are, but Al-Queda don’t exist.  They were manufactured by the Great Zionist Conspiracy to provide an excuse for the conquest of the middle east”.

      Caller: “That’s bollocks.  I fought for Al-Queda in Afghanistan.  I know they bloody exist – I even had an Al-Queda paybook, until I ate it just before I was captured.  Who have you been talking to – who has fed you this rubbish?”

      SMH: “Terry Hicks.  He’s a very wise man you know”.

      Caller: “Who the fuck are you anyway?”

      SMH: “I’m a cadet reporter.  I’m writing the newspaper today. All the journalists went on strike yesterday because the photocopier broke down”.

      Caller: “Help,it’s David Hicks here.  They’re trying to kill me”.

      ABC: “Who are trying to kill you?”

      Caller: “Muslims.  I used to be a Muslim, and now they are out to get me.”

      ABC: “That’s impossible.  Muslims don’t kill people.  That’s official ABC policy.  I have that written down in front of me on memo 2004/3AX981-B.  And Muslims certainly don’t kill other Muslims – that policy was spelt out on circular 2003/NAB-C.  You can’t contradict ABC policy”.

      Caller: “You don’t understand.  They said that they are going to slit my throat”.

      ABC: “Don’t be overdramatic.  I’m sure they meant to say ‘come over and play with our pet goat’”.  Muslims are very fond of goats.”

      Caller: “I know they’re fond of fucking goats, and I mean that literally. They also said that they are going to chop me into little pieces”.

      ABC: “That’s silly.  Again, you mis-heard them saying ‘Islam is a religion of peace’”.

      Caller: “Look you idiot, I’ve got a Palestinian hit squad on my tail.”

      ABC: “ABC policy explicitly states that all Palestinians are peaceful and that they only shoot at Israelis in self defence.  And they use paper-mache bullets that don’t hurt anyone.  They certainly wouldn’t send a hit squad overseas to kill anyone.  Well, unless they are Jewish.  An addendum to policy 2002/FG18-1 states that Palestinians may travel overseas in order to execute Jews that have annoyed them”.

      Caller: “You fool.  You know nothing of the Middle East and Islam”.

      ABC: “Au contrair, we have been reporting on the middle east from comfortable bars in Jerusalem for 50 years. We know all about the middle east.  Why, I ate some pistachios last night.  What would you know about Islam?”

      Caller: “Well, I was a bloody muslim for 10 years.  I think I’d know a bit more about it than you!”

      ABC: “I’m afraid not.  The ABC Charter states that the ABC knows more about everything than anyone else on the planet.  We are the source of all knowledge and wisdom.  And we have in house experience with Islam.  We had a gardner named Achmed here for two weeks a few years ago.”

      Caller: “I tell you, these people are ruthless and will stop at nothing.  They all went to terrorist training camps in Pakistan”.

      ABC: “Rubbish.  The only people that go to those camps are backpackers in search of a bit of adventure.  They’re really just a dusty version of Club Med.  But I am told that they offer ‘the adventure of a lifetime’, which sound much more exciting than sitting here in a cardigan.  I wonder what the ‘adventure’ is?  I bet they teach you to cheat at Bridge.  That would be very adventurous.  I might be adventurous tomorrow and wear a yellow cardigan”.

      Caller: “Who fed you all this crap?”

      ABC: “David Hicks and his lawyer, Major Mori”.

      Caller: “Urgghklk”.

      Horin: Well he may have been released, but how much money was wasted on his return. $500,000 is money that could have been well spent on creche’s for newly arrived Sudanese refugees.

      Hack: Hang on, weren’t we the ones who said we wanted the Government to bring him back NOW?

      Jaspan: shut up, that’s not the point. Adil, you are a genius. I’d kiss you if it wasn’t for the fact that you would have me on a sexual assault charge and an AVO within 5 minutes. Of course, we hammer home the waste of the Federal Government. Ok what else?

      Call is diverted.

      Caller: “Then what do you call all the fighting between Hamas and Fatah at the moment?”

      The Age: “Well, that’s just staged for the camera.  The ambulances turn up at a shooting, load a body on the gurney, drive around the corner and the ‘body’ jumps up and goes back into the ‘fight’.  It’s all directed by a man in a green helmet.”

      Caller: “But they’re killing each other for real at the moment.”

    1. There once was a fellow named Hicks,
      Who from El Que’da learned a few tricks,
      But shed his religion,
      Became a stool pigeon,
      And strung up mice for some kicks.

      A Talib called ‘Mo Dawood,
      In ‘Gitmo was pulling his pud,
      But he bargained a plea,
      Cross the sea he did flee,
      Now he’ll just use his jihad for good.

      Hicksie was found in a ditch,
      ‘Cos to Islam he made the switch,
      Was shipped off to Cuba,
      He blew like a tuba,
      Now he’s the shower-rooms bitch.

I suppose not, but such ignorance is not only appalling, but very worrying. Just how is it that journalists for a papare such as SMH can be so ignroant of what Hicks was up to, or is there some other explanation?

    1. Coming soon to a theatre near you;

      David’s Big Adventure

      The love of David Hick’s life is his RPG(Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher). When it is stolen, he goes on a wild cross world adventure after a fortune teller tells him his RPG is in Bin Laden’s cave hideout. Along the way, David encounters an escaped jihadist, a Ma malakat amanukum called Dottie who has a jealous Mujahadeen boyfriend, and some very pissed off Americans.

      David Hicks(on his detention in Guantanamo):

      The mind plays tricks on you. You play tricks back! It’s like you’re unraveling a big cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting…

      David Hicks(to his new girlfriend, Dottie):

      There’s a lot of things about me that you don’t know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn’t understand. Things you couldn’t understand. Things you shouldn’t understand. You don’t want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

      2. Kae’s diet – I’ve not been strict this week, due to tooth extraction trauma (and getting into yummy greek yoghurt and some roasted pumpkin). So, this fortnight 11 days(since Friday 11/5) another 1.1kg lost.
      Total weight loss since 16/4 is now 6.4kg.

      Posted by kae on 2007 05 21 at 06:27 AM • permalink

 

    1. You sounded in pain, kae. Panadeine 15 is twice as strong as panadeine/codalgin, half as strong as panadeine/codalgin forte, which is only available on script. All of them have 500mg paracetamol – maximum 8/day or it’ll rot your liver, and codeine 8mg/15mg/30mg respectively – no dose limit as such to codeine, just nausea, constipation, sedation the higher you go (and dependance/tolerance if you’re silly enough to take them long-term). But yeah, they can get you out of tight (usually dental!) spot.

      You can take nurofen 400mg 4 x daily on top of the above (don’t combine with aspirin).

      Tramal really shouldn’t be taken with codeine, but essentially you’re just taking a higher dose of a codeine-type substance, without so much of the drowsiness. A lot of people complain about the nausea on tramal, though, so be warned. But no, it won’t kill you.

      And maybe skip the nurofen, good though it is, if your BP’s up that high.

      I’m due back at the dentist on Monday, but I think I’ll be seeing him before that. Nothing’s swollen so I don’t think it’s infected.

    1. Conference Time
      Editor: Ok, people. Hicks is back, and we need to keep this rolling along until the election. Don’t let it die on us, please. Talk to anyone, as long as they have a grievance.
      Reporter1: I have a terrific piece on the AWB …
      Editor: Yes, great. Old news, but there’s a bit left in it while the conservatives fight amongst themselves about the Single Desk. If nothing else, it is now part of the “mistakes history” we run until election time.
      Reporter2: I would like to go in very hard on these huge government advertising campaigns.
      Editor: Go for it, just avoid any mention of the huge union funded advertising campaign which started this cycle off. You realize that we are on tricky ground with this one. None of these grandstanders give a damn about the worker, but the unions are fighting for survival, and the ALP depends on them for so much, it is a symbiotic relationship.
      Cub Reporter: What’s symbiotic? Is it like shambolic?
      Editor: In this case yes, but do get yourself a dictionary, Tarquin.
      Reporter3: We have been on election mode for so long now, and there’s still months to go. Do we have to cover “election stuff” to the exclusion of other news?
      Editor: Thanks for the thought – you remind me that Climate Change is an ongoing, non-political subject we have to follow closely. Watch out for those looming loonies who are trying to say that the global warming debate has been overdone and exaggerated to hell. They might be scientists, the ones emerging now, but they are not scientists we wish to give coverage to.
      Reporter4: I have prepared a piece along the lines of “Labor governments have avoided planning for water supplies in all states, and have locked up all suitable dam sites in new National Parks”.
      Editor: Sorry, Rebecca, didn’t I tell you about your posting to Booligal? You leave immediately.

    1. The Gulfstream roared and left the ground,
      It shook and groaned as it turned around,
      And when it sped from Guantanamo Bay,
      Its shackled cargo had nothing to say.

      A man-child as stupid as can be found,
      Mohammed Dawood had a last look around,
      His thoughts then turned to what lay ahead,
      It was not shame, but fear, which filled his head.

      A devious coward who turned and fled,
      The Australian people he spurned and bled,
      Would their anger now come down on his head,
      In jail, at home, at night, or in bed?

      His father, his lawyers, and various writers,
      Who spoke up for him and his Jihadi fighters,
      Are not they ashamed of ‘David Hicks glory’,
      And still they insist that he tells his story.

      University Press, foolish left, for shame,
      Only once do the right, not mention the name,
      With no courage, a cretin, a moron, a bore,

      BFS (11m x 5m x 2.6m)
      3 phase power
      It was the ex’s ‘folly’.

      He didn’t take it with him when he left…
      or his big-screen TV.
      Or the mowers.
      Or the whipper snipper.

      But he took my teapot.
      And some tupperware.
      And the hedge shears.

      Never understood why.

      Find me a better bra! Although personally, I kind of liked it the other way.

      I’ve been looking at women’s breasts a lot lately. Can’t help it. It’s my job.

      Since the weather warmed up, our figures (including those pesky bust lines) are on display. And it has quickly become clear to me that a lot of us have been dropping the ball, so to speak, when it comes to uplift.

      This is why I’ve launched a Springtime Bosom Patrol—to diagnose the problems and find solutions.

      In addition to droop, there is what is euphemistically known as lack of “complete coverage” at the “apex of the breast” or, to us plain talkers:nipple show-through.

      You know, I realize this is never going to happen, but I swear I’d eat Lowenstein’s book (hell, I’d even read it) if Hicks or some other similarly-deluded western quisling would have a genuine epiphany, and tell the world, “Look. I made an immoral and idiotic decision the day I turned my back on my homeland and pledged my life to a violent and alien worldview, and I’m going to dedicate the rest of my life to making amends any way I can, and I’m going to start by denouncing militant Islam and by thanking God for giving me the opportunity to return home to the best country in the world.”

      Never happen, I suppose. If it did, you’d probably never know about it because the big media outlets wouldn’t be interested (except, perhaps, as another example of our predilection for torture and brainwashing).

It was not meant as a derogatory name for anyone, we used to have Nigger Brown Boot Polish and he was white, with blonde hair and so the name Nigger Brown (like boot polish) was a perfect Australian nickname for him.

      The bloke up tin Toowoomba has won. They are demolishing the stand because he says it is an insult.

      He’s a fucking moron.

      He should be activising for more important things, like stopping wife bashing, stopping drunkenness, stopping child abuse, stopping child sexual abuse, stopping sexual abuse, stopping violence, stopping petrol sniffing.

      But no. Steven Hagan wants to get rid of a grandstand. He also wanted to ban Coon cheese, named for the Coon family who patented the process for the accelerated ripening of natural, unprocessed cheese in 1926. Coon cheese history.

      Caller: “What?  You care more about the whales than you do about me?  Hell, the Taliban were right all along.  If I had an RPG and a knife, you’d all be a foot shorter by sundown.”

      GLW: “We would run a story if you were a whale.  Are you a whale?”

      Caller: “Look, why won’t you run a story about Muslims wanting to kill me?”

      GLW: “Because Muslims are very friendly towards Gaia.  Muslims produce very little CO2.”

      Caller: “You idiot.  Where do you think all the oil comes from?”

      GLW: “Oh no, you see all the oil is dug up by evil Amerikan corporations.  The Muslims just happen to be perched on top of it.  It’s not their fault that Gaia happened to leave all that oil under them.  We would run a story though if the CIA or Mossad were after you.  Are they trying to kill you?”

      Caller: “If they were, they had 5 years in which to do it.  No, Mossad are not after me.”

      GLW: “That’s a pity. Go eat some more KFC and if you get big enough, we might run a story on you.”

      I’m in the latter category, plus I’d like to see the end of the endless reporting of every boring facet of his futile, pointless and insignificant life. The only item I want to read about ‘Mo Daewoo is that he has been eaten by the Snowtown boyos or has had to be rushed to hospital for emergency rectal repairs after his first shower in the general population.

      I wish his idiot father would STFU an’all.

We knock off General Grant in a drunk buggy-driving accident and the South wins! Do you think The Feminine Mystique would be a better read if it had been written by Habib? So do I, so – Presto! – feminism given the bluff and hearty treatment! “Antony Lowenstein’s, My Israel Question? Isn’t that the gorgeous new coffee table book on the mating habits of the Nubian ibex?” It is now!

      Uncle Quentin came to the door of his office, glared at the children and then without a word, slammed his office door on the noise and returned to his desk. Pulling over his rolodex, he located the names of his Opus Dei colleagues. He had some quick work to do and there wasn’t much time.

      eg – Backdraft – make firefighting look cool
      eg – topgun – make flying a jet really fancy and make you look cool
      eg – apollo 13 – the astronauts walking to the spacecraft are cool
      eg – pretty woman – don’t show julia giving blow jobs for $100 to b grade movie stars and get bashed by her pimp when she needs an extra $50 for her coke – instead make her land a BILLIONAIRE and live everyone’s fantasy – like a whore is supposed to “get” opera – please!!

      The biggest part that disturbs me about ms roberts is her pacman mouth.
