West Papua – Villages are wiped out, Village Elders murdered – Where’s The UN ?

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

So it’s ok to go into Libya and try and remove that facist regime.

But the illegal occupation of the western part of Papua New Guinea is called “West Papua” or Irian Jaya by the Indonesians who illegally annexed it.

NO media (western or otherwise) are allowed in West Papua. The Australian Government acknowledges the illegal occupation of West Papua, yet does NOTHING about the murders of the tribal elders/village elders. The raping of the women. And the total annihilation of resistance groups – who use their primitive bows and arrows versus the might that is the corrupt Indonesian special forces and regular army soldiers.

Australia’s SAS trained the Indonesian Special Forces. The same Forces that are perpetrating the military rule and systematic slaughter of anyone who disagrees with their (illegal) occupation of West Papua.

So, you think this a new thing i am posting.

No.

My father served with the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) and was deployed to Manus Island (New Guinea) in 1954 as a result of the Indonesian Uprising/Expansion.

So this persecution, slaughter and genocide has been happening since the 1950s and here we are in 2011 and we just let it continue to happen.

Wake up!!!!! This is Rwanda on a large, albeit almost 60 year timeframe. Time for some action from the UN???

Help me publicise this as i have already contacted the UN. Contact them too with your thoughts and demand action. You will be contacted.

Indonesia needs to be evicted from West Papua or face UN sanctions

Any Cloud in a Crowded Atmosphere?

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Cloud Computing. It’s what we need, along with Agile and Scrum/Scrum Masters.

All these new things….how do people keep up?

How about WAN, RAD and Project Managers? Some poeple invent new terminology just to keep their jobs. They’re called journalists and/or marketing people.

Whilst the technology embracing these technologies has evolved since the 1990s, it is still the underlying principle of the original idea. But no, we have to give them NEW names.

Enjoy your stand up meetings whilst i lounge in my luxurious chair updating my projects via my iPad2.

cheers,

me

The Lunatics Are Escaping from the Asylum

Friday, March 18th, 2011

aaah i remember that song…Fun Boy Three. From the 1980s. Also recently covered by Collide.

Now i’m gonna be a bit opinionated and contraversial…the asylum seekers on Christmas Island have rebelled and torched the place.

Send those people back.

Fuck em.

They jumped the queue anyway, now they burn the detention centre down while we’re trying to figure out if they are legit asylum seekers or not??!!

What are they hiding?

Send em back. No mercy.

Untaught History

Monday, March 14th, 2011

Something that is not taught in Australian history, nor is it in USA history. But in the 1950s/1960s we fought the Indonesians.

The  Indonesians expanded. They took over many parts of where we are. Malaya, (now Malaysia) asked Australia for help.

Australia purchased the F1-11 fighter bomber from the USA in the 1960s during the Vietnam war, in case we needed to drop a nuke on Jakarta. True and scary story.

As it turned out, the majority of Aussies think we should have just done it.

Looking After Our Senior Citizens

Monday, March 14th, 2011

I worked from home on Friday. It;s a privilege to be able to do that if you need to. The Australian arm of where i was working has an issue with it, and my immediate “boss” that was from the USA said work from home whenever you want as quote “everyone works from home at this Co in the USA”…

Anyway, the local Co has a strangely different policy….they assume you are slacking off which is not true.

Thankfully i no longer work for them and have no desire to ever work for the Australian arm ever again.

Anyway, i had lunch and went up to my local shopping place, Studfield Shopping Centre…basically a “strip shopping centre”…named as it’s a strip of land along a major road, Stud Road.

2011 – yes still here

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

i was to go to bed a few hours ago which meant i’d get some sleep. But no. I got some msgs, spoke to a great friend of mine who is in London, and then things happen and here we are – 4am. No it wasnt the extremely horrible situation in Japan with the massive earth quake and tsunamis.

Just someone that was supposed to call, did call, hung up, and i cant get in contact with her anymore. So. What does one do? Wait? probably. Call the Police? no, coz there was no real commitment. But YES too. So. I am in a dilemna. Now i cant sleep, but have to wait until the “real” morning before i can do anything.
