Dear Fibreculturalists, did anyone of you get this email or a variation
of it? Geert
From: "Troy Oneal"
excerpt::
The media will try and shame us, calling us "nazis" or "racist" and other things. FUCK THE MEDIA, you should all know by now the media have no shame, they lie and manipulate the Australian people on a daily basis while defending these Lebanese scum and giving a voice to their slimey "leaders/terrorists". Even whle the lebs bash their camera crews!
Stand up and fight for what's right while you still can, none of us voted for multiculturalism, and none of us have to accept it either. The media and politicians say we are a "tolerant" society with cultures from all over, but we all know thats absolute bullshit, every man on the street knows its bullshit yet they persist with this failed ideology. > We don't want them, we don't need them and we won't have them forced on us in our country anymore. this is AUSTRALIA, politicians don't own this country WE DO.
Australia was founded on christian values, that is why we are a successful, peaceful nation. but now that the government has imported scum against our will, the cracks are starting to appear and our country is going to shit.
Morris Iemma the EN-ELECTED "premier" of NSW is going soft on the lebs because this scumbag is the son of lebanese immigrants himself! and the member for LAKEMBA!!!! sydneys biggest arab suburb and home of the terrorist training camp aka mosque!
DON'T BE A DOOR MAT! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
FIGHT LIKE AN ANZAC OR DIE LIKE A COWARD.
What
about this one?

Stay clear of Bondi this weekend!... i just got this from
one of my mates... its gona be on hard at Bondi this
Sunday...:
F*ck these stupid Aussies! We smashed them at Cronulla We

Now we're gonna smash them at Bondi!
These Aussies think they can touch us - we will wreck
them... This is more than a leb thing - it's a wog thing
- they hate us all. They want us DEAD! Our parents came
to this country and worked hard for their families. We
helped build this country and now these racists want us
out.
All lebs and wogs down at Bondi this Sunday. We need more
than the 5000 that showed up at Cronulla Time to show
these people stuck in the 1950's that times have changed
- WE are the new Australia - They are just the white
thieves who took land from the Aboriginals and their time
is up
Join the struggle!!
I prefer this one ;Tanja Dreher .... Rally Against
Racism
The National Union of Students is calling a rally to
protest the recent race riots in Cronulla
The rally, to be called "United Against
Racism", will protest the racist violence in
Cronulla last Sunday, and the ongoing racist acts that
have followed from them
The rally details are:WHEN: Sunday 18th December 2005 ;
TIME: 1pm ; WHERE: Town Hall Square
The National Union of Students Anti-Racism Officer Mr
Osmond Chiu said: "Racism from some of the media and
political leaders have whipped up fear and anger to lead
to the disgraceful violence at Cronulla. This rally wants
to show that people are fed up with this racist violence
and that enough is enough."
amanda mcdonald crowley,
dear fibreculturalists: It seems that Geert's fairly
innocuous enquiry on the matter of current race
riots in Sydney has solicited the following responses:(as
above.JB,editor)
Such responses seem to me to be wholly inadequate. I am
australian and left there last saturday from a 3 day
visit. i currently live and work in new york,
and yet i am feeling a bit lonely, sad and weirdly
too far away with the shit that is going down in
sydney at the moment. I have been thinking to myself that
my own response is a bit odd and
unreasonable: the riots in india when i lived
there moved me; the invasion of the middle east when i
lived in finland and learned the news via british
and us news channels made me take to the streets in
protest; the paris riots, experienced remotely
from adelaide and new york were horrific.
but there is something that is completely chilling about
these riots that are occurring in place i know
intimately. Perhaps that is what it takes to
feel that one has to take action, or at least to write.
The riots probably started right at about the time that i
was flying over those same beaches leaving
australia on saturday. that thought leaves a
strange metallic taste in my mouth and a very strange
sense of inexcusable disempowerment. i stared
at the coast with longing and nostalgia as i flew
over it. that response to a landscape that i
somehow felt was familiar to me no longer feels in the
slightest bit appropriate.
to be honest I am completely not sure what to think or
feel at this moment, but this competitive spirit of
who has seen the most sensational posting of
responses to the situation/s is right about as
unfathomable as the situations themselves.
Protecting ourselves with the screens of a cultural
list-serve of "like-minded" individuals
is about as ineffectual way as i can imagine to
address the situation. I rely on lists such
as these to inform me. At the moment,
fibreculture is as ineffectual as the SMH, except that
the smh site made me cry from frustration and the
fibreculture list response has simply made me cry
with anger. Both useless responses.
Amanda
Mathieu O'Neil Several of the comments said something
about the role of the media and specifically the SMH: not
sure what you were referring to - also I don't listen to
the radio or watch TV so I don't know what they were
saying before the riots - but I was pretty amazed at the
image of a young male with shaved head, tatts, ozzie flag
on his T-shirt - "a Shire boy ready for battle"
said the caption - this was last Friday on the net. The
accompanying article just sort of gave the impression
that it was OK to defend your turf from foreigners etc.
Three days later they couldn't find the words to decry
the racist thuggery which etc etc. This seems to me one
of the clearest examples of media hypocrisy I have ever
seen... anyone out there know of any way to express that
or act on it?
cheers, mat

Hello Fibreculturalists,
Various media has bought terrorism to Australia, reducing
the space between us and overseas. People see terrorism
happening overseas and think that terrorism could happen
here. Terrorism has not happening here because we used to
treat people fairly.
The recent Anti Terrorist laws supported by the Labor and
Liberal parties are changing our culture.
It is well known that people vote for a government that
supposedly protects them. So Governments love any extra
laws they can introduce. If you felt the police already
treated you unjustly and the new laws that gave them
further rights to reduce your freedom and potentially
destroy your life if your of middle eastern appearance.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD REACT?
The laws are a self fulfilling philosophy. Creating the
very terrorism they are supposed to stop that did not
exist here before the laws. When are people going to
remove Governments that try to increase their fear. Also
should we and others like us should be helping people
separate reality from Media hype.
James.
Alicia (Lucy) Cameron :
The role of mobbing via SMS and emails appears to have
been a significant contributing factor in the
Cronulla/Marouba riots. Distributing printed material
inciting racial violence is crime (in NSW anyway) - so
should that now apply to anyone who forwards on a text or
email in Australia?
The Queensland government has just established a hotline
for people to dob in people inciting racial violence,
don't know what they can actually do about emails and
texts though.
By the way - the new anti- sedition laws that the Howard
Government passed with such haste a couple of weeks ago -
states that sedition is " an intention to... (d)
promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between
different groups so as to threaten the peace, order and
good government of the Commonwealth. Something tells me
that Howard will leave it the sedition laws in their box
for this one though.

From Nikos Papastergiadis
"Save Nulla Fuck Allah"
Race riots are often not about color and creed but sex
and territory.
The claim that the lebs and wogs needed to be given a
lesson was made
in the most primitive chants. No surprise. What is
ridiculous is the
cant about 'Aussies' and their identification with their
'shire pride'
and their gentlemanly valour. Nothing could be more
absurd. Local
boundaries which can be so significant and threatening in
most parts of
the world, are usually treated with a degree of
slackness. Aussie women
also pride themselves on standing up for themselves.
These myths are so
thin. Just replay the old tapes of the classic film about
south sydney
beach culture, 'Puberty Blues' if you want to be reminded
of the petty
turf wars and brutal gang rapes of normal Aussie life.
The influence of
American gangsta rap culture on alienated kids growing up
in ethnic
enclaves in Western Sydney is also a chapter that must be
written into
our cultural history.
