Only weeks after Australia broke up a plan by ISIS to publicly behead a member of public, reports suggest 2 gunmen are holding 13 hostages at a Lindt coffee-shop in Sydney, Australia. The terrorists have shown a black jihadist flag - which is not an IS flag - and has paraded the hostages at the windows. The coffee shop is directly across the street from the Reserve Bank of Australia.

As Reuters reports,

Hostages were being held inside a central Sydney cafe where a black flag with white Arabic writing could be seen in the window, local television showed on Monday, raising fears of an attack linked to Islamic militants.

 

Australia, which is backing the United States and its escalating action against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, is on high alert for attacks by radicalized Muslims or by home-grown fighters returning from fighting in the Middle East.

 

Part of Martin Place, home to the Reserve Bank of Australia, commercial banks and close to the New South Wales (NSW) state parliament, was closed off by armed police.

 

Live television footage showed patrons inside a cafe standing with their hands pressed against the windows. A black and white flag similar to those used by Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria was also visible.

 

NSW Police tweeted: "A police operation is underway in Martin Place, Sydney's CBD. People are advised to avoid the area."

 

Dozens of police including a SWAT team were setting up and a couple of hundred people were being held back by cordons.

At least 20 are believed to have returned to Australia and pose a security risk, the head of the national spy agency said last week.

The RBA? It was probably one of the Limerick King's passages relating to central banking written in Arabic on that flag

A lot of you have mistaken what Aussies are actually like. Most of the real Aussies are actually 100% against this whole Zionist dogpile of insanity and the obviously US funded ISIS idiots. 

 

Most Aussies actually know what the rest of us here know already. They just keep quiet about it.

How's that keeping quiet working out for the hostages?

It won't end with many of them being alive, that's for sure.

Putin knows how to deal with them and I can guarantee you that operations are underway in Chechnya in response to last week's episode that would make the average American or Aussie piss their britches. As the Russians close in on the terrorist leaders, men, women, and children will begin losing body parts, including internal organs until the family members involved spill the secrets. Then the Russians will carpet or fuel-air bomb the responsible village off the map.

The best way to deal with Islamist terrorists is to kill them. It cuts down dramatically on repeat offenders.

So I'd say wipe them out.  Wipe them all out.  Use our military to overthrow our treasonous, criminal, anti-Constitutional, sickening "government", and start our Republic over again.

It's some fucking guy with a flag, guys.  For fuck's sake.  So some guy with a flag with islamic writing took some hostages, so let's all kill each other fighting over what to do about it.  We are completely fucked.

The point is that these guys wouldn't even be holding hostages if it weren't for the meddling and aggression of the US/Israel and their lackeys in the MENA. And yeah, the Islamacists are coming to the US and Europe and Australia. They are being imported by the governments of a number of western countries to the detriment of their native citizens and cultures.

This hostage situation sucks and  probably won't end well. But our anger needs to be focused on the real cause of the rise of radical Islam, which is the banking, oil, and MIC of the west, all enabled and propagated by the politicians that we "elect".

There is no doubt that our involvement has contributed greatly to increased radicalization, but duck and cover now will not stop it. This is war. We encited Japan to attack us in WWII even thought they were doing some evil shit. Do you think if we had simply surrendered they would have shown us mercy? Look at how they treated the Chinese after they had conquered them. Look at how radical Muslims treat people who are not hostile to them in any way. They murder them without hesitation and many times with glee. You may believe them justified in their actions, but you cannot while condemning America for its. EVERYONE feels JUSTIFIED who is willing to KILL.

War started by 9/11, eh?  Oh right, the passports from guys who were inside the plane, which passports survived the fireball that destroyed two skyscrapers prove it was those guys, and not "our" guys.

What an idiot. It doesn't matter who starts a war, it only matters who survives it. 9/11 was not the beginning of anything but escalation. Every war between countries, cultures or civilizations ends when one side surrenders. Are you surrendering? When you find yourself agreeing with those trying to kill you, you have done just that.

Of course you can  cling to the hope that they do not want to kill us, that it is all a ruse put up by Bush and MIC, and that our surrender or capitulation when end the violence, just like Palestinians would just lay down their rocket launchers when Israel stops all military actions...Sure.

It must be nice to live in your little dream world.

Had we not provoked the Japanese, it is arguable that they would have never attacked the US at all, so there would have been no need to surrender. Maybe, just maybe, if the West would stop destabilizing the MENA and provoking/drone bombing/raiding/humiliating/killing the people there, this shit would die down a little. The US/Israel/Five Eyes started this shit, not the other way 'round.

Japan was the nation invading, murdering, raping, pillaging and enslaving most of Asia. I think they did plenty to "provoke" the rest of the world. While I think we should damned well stay out of other country's business as long as it stays in those country's borders, we would be incredibly stupid to ignore aggression. But care needs to be practiced in all judgements as provocations occur at all levels. Ultimately it doesn't matter when they come for YOUR head. But I must admit, it is so much easier to believe it is all out stupid leaders that have caused this and the rest of the world is but a peaceful herd of sheep. There has NEVER been a history of cultural and religious hate motivating violence and aggression in the world until America came on the scene. Yes it is all evil America that causes this and no other.

Fools.

"The point is that these guys wouldn't even be holding hostages if..." 

Maybe the point should be these fuckers don't go after the pols, bureaucrats, and banksters that are their real enemies.  Why are they raiding a soft target like a cafe instead of the banksters across the street?  They know they're going to end up in a gun battle and likely die.  Why not go after a more "meaningful" target?  Makes me wonder who organizes these incidents.

With terrorists, it seems fairly straightforward why they go after soft targets: they're outmatched. Are women taught to "fight fair" against a male attacker and not hit below the belt? Obviously not. If war is a street fight on a much larger scale, civilian targets are the groin and eyeballs, and the weaker side will always take advantage of that. It's dirty fighting, but it's to be expected, unfortunately.

So in light of all that, if going after civilians is a tactic for the weaker side, why did the United States incinerate a couple hundred thousand people in Dresden, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima? We're not supposed to ask such questions.

Amen. It's some sad shit listening to people on ZH of all sites practically begging for Uncle Sam to keep sticking his nose where it doesn't fucking belong. Cops in America strangle and shoot people dead in the street and occasionally lob flash-bangs into babies' cribs, bankers steal billions of dollars and walk free, and some folks on ZH are worried about religious wackos on the other side of the world.

We are all far more likely to be killed by the "authorities" in our own country than by these morons half a world away. History has proven that fact time and time again. Hell, you're more likely to slip and die in your bathtub than be killed by a terrrrrrist.

But keep on buying into the fear, folks. Statists love it when the people they rule are scared. Scared people will put up with just about any kind of liberty-stomping bullshit.

It's time people all over the world stood up for their rights and freedom regardless of how terrifying the prospect is.

Right. And when the small groups get slaughtered/enslaved, they would never move on to bigger groups. Pretty sure I've been told by a fully sane, non-radical ,Muslim that the goal of Islam is to take over the world by force if necessary.

Is it also ignorance to ignore everything written and said by the Muslim leaders of our age?

Even if you are willing to ignore or deem irrelevant the way Muslims treat each other, is it wise to not project those values in antication of how they will treat us? An insult is a death sentence and I think they can be considered well insulted.

Then why are people protesting in Ferguson when the chances of being killed by a cop are infintesimally small compared to being killed by their neighbor? We should be aware of EVERY risk of those dedicated to our harm. To blather about the small risks says nothing to these people trapped in a restaurant. Explain the stupidity of fear to those living in European countries with No Go zones, where they have lost autonomy over their own country...but hell we are damned close to that in our own, but fortunately our "invaders" or not imbibed with a religion of hate (yet).

Let's play a game. Who is farthest right of left? Whom is the farthest left of right?

 

Now THAT is what is fucking old.

 

nmewn...No. The people in the cafe had nothing DIRECTLY to do with that Aussie Soldier in the Afghani Street except...THEY FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THAT WAR. THEY PAY TAXES.

 

BringOnThe Asteroid...Your suggestion that all of these Soldiers must be harmed or killed was just hyperbolic incitement.

 

Oldwood...Your suggestion that radical Muslims are going to start bombing America at the drop of a hat is rather RIDICULOUS.

 

In the past few weeks I have...

 

Purchased Nitric Acid...without any paperwork.

Purchased Hydrochloric Acid...without paperwork

Purchased Ammomium Nitrate...without paperwork.

 

Of course I can use all of these for extremely nefarious tasks. But along with the Stannous Chloride, the Sodium Metabisulfite, and the Hydrogen Peroxide which I also purchased without paperwork I am REFINING COMPUTER CIRCUIT BOARDS for the GOLD and the PALLADIUM.

 

REGRESSION FOR USEFUL INFORMATION...

 

HOW TO REFINE GOLD FROM CIRCUIT BOARDS...

 

First one uses a One Part Hydrochloric Acid, One Part Hydrogen Peroxide solution, by volume, to separate the Gold Plating from the Circuit Boards. Soak the cleaned boards in that solution under low heat. One filters the loose gold from that through filtration.

 

Then that metal is introduced to Aqua Regia after it is recovered from that first solution.

 

One must basify the Aqua Regia (One part Nitric Acid, Three Parts Hydrochloric Acid...by volume) with Urea (Ammomium Nitrate) before adding the Sodium Metabisulfite to precipitate the Gold out of Solution. One uses the Stannous Chloride to ascertain if the all of the Gold has precipitated out of soilution.

 

(Man have I torn apart a lot of old computers recently...)

 

And I regressed...BUT THIS WAS USEFUL INFORMATION...not some bullshit dogfight.

 

/end regression

 

Of course ANYONE can purchase GASOLINE on any Street Corner and it is extremely destructive if the intent is nefarious.

 

No there is not an Islamic Terrorist hiding behind every nook and cranny waiting for an opportunity to destroy us. There are boundless opportunities if some asshole terrorist wants to ever act. NO LAW CAN STOP THEM.

 

Oldwood...STOP your Xenophobic PARANOIA.

 

Now all of you know that this God Damned Forever War is fucking IMMORAL.

 

BringOnThe Asteroid is correct that we should NEVER HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE as AFGHANISTAN DID NOT ATTACK US. NEITHER DID IRAQ.

 

9-11 was a Saudi FUNDED OPERATION backed by the BIN LADEN Family....probably with Bandar's help.

Actually, they are in all those places like remote islands in the Phillipines, and in Chechnya and in SW China and most everywhere. Most of those places have little or no Muslim population or they are the majority. Indonesia (I have friends there) has a different less violent version but make no mistake, there are Muslim insurgents there, as well.

When you are making a point you go for the big guys which are mainly European nations and America. It is also easier to justify your actions. You might note they kill a lot of their own, as well.

+100 MF. 

I know there has been a propaganda war going on for the sheeple's mind in the U.S. (and they mostly won).

I also know there's a lot of critical-thinking, independent-minded, common sense people in Australia that are not the sheeple-type and have no intention of being the USA's bitch.

What I didn't expect is the increasing incongruency between those Australians and what the Aussie government their media have been doing/saying the last few years. Maybe it's been going on a long time and I just haven't noticed. This goes all the way back to the Assange story and the torrent sites vs. the RIAA/MPIA. I was surprised how quickly the Aussies rolled. You can follow that all the way up until today and their media/gov. stance on Ukraine/Russia, anything pro-Israel and police militarization. 

The Australian government looks like it's gone rouge and is getting ready to go all Nazi on the Aussie people's asses. This hostage bit seems terribly contrived to prove to the Aussies that they NEED their government to save them from imaginary evil. Nothing about it makes sense except for the desire to deliver that message.

Agree--they know better than to go after the Russians. A while back there was a string of Somali pirates taking over ships, abusing those aboard, and demanding ransom. Then they did it to a Russian ship, whereupon the Russians immediately responded in their usual way. That fixed the problem, at least where the Russians were concerned.

From Wiki:

Six years later, in October 1985, Alpha Group was dispatched to war-torn Beirut, Lebanon. The Kremlin was informed of the kidnapping of four Soviet diplomats by the militant group, the Islamic Liberation Organization (a radical offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood). It was believed that this was retaliation for the Soviet support of Syrian involvement in the Lebanese Civil War.[16] However, by the time Alpha arrived, one of the hostages had already been killed. Through a network of supporting KGB operatives, members of the task-force identified each of the perpetrators involved in the crisis, and once identified, began to take the relatives of these militants as hostages. Following the standard Soviet policy of no negotiations with terrorists, some of the hostages taken by Alpha Group were dismembered, and their body parts sent to the militants. The warning was clear: more would follow unless the remaining hostages were released immediately. The show of force worked, and for a period of 20 years no Soviet or Russian officials were taken captive, until the 2006 abduction and murder of four Russian embassy staff in Iraq.

Wiki goes on to say the veracity of the story is in question. The result, however, is clear enough.

There still are annual Islamic bombing/attacks in Russian Federation territory especially in the Caucacus.  Information is almost impossible to get out because the territory is occupied by Russian military who permit no outisde journalists or suppressed.  As of the end of last year, there is no independent Russian-owned TV news agency and one semi-credible print/news agent that isn't directly controlled by the Kremlin.  

Not to say that US-backed media is a bastion of credibility but what comes out of Russia and much more importantly goes on radio TV and print (and to a lesser degree the Internet because they don't have the resources/effort China makes) is heavily scripted and scrubbed.

The Real Australia: extract from an Open Letter revealing the true Australia is in the second part of the linked article.

http://fairdinkumradio.com/?q=node/456

..."The second photograph on this page is of Charlie Phillott, now 87, an elderly farmer from the ruggedly beautiful Carisbrooke Station at Winton. He has owned his station since 1960, nurtured it and loved it like a part of his own flesh. He is a grand old gentleman, one of the much loved and honoured fathers of his community.

Not so long ago, the ANZ bank came and drove him off his beloved station because the drought had devalued his land and they told him he was considered an unviable risk-  Yet –  “Charlie Phillott has never once missed a single mortgage payment”.

...
Yet not one single newspaper or politician in this land has exposed the fact that the worst form of terrorism that is happening right now is going on inside the very heartland of our own nation as banks and foreign mining companies are deliberately and cruelly forcing our own Australian farmers off the land....

..
And so the banks have been free to play their games and completely terrorise these people at their leisure. The drought has devalued the land and the banks have seen their opportunity to strike. It was exactly the excuse that they needed to clean up and make a fortune, because once the rains come – as they always do – this land will be worth four to ten times the price....The banks have been bringing in the police to evict Australian famers and their families from their farms, many of them multigenerational. One farmer matter of factly told us it took “oh, about 7 police” to evict him from his first farm and “maybe about twelve” to evict him from his second farm which had been in his family for many generations....

...
the fear of speaking out against the banks: when we asked people to tell us who had done this to them, they would immediately start to shake and cry and look away: They have been silenced to protect the good corporate image of their tormentors called the banks. What in God’s name have the bastard banks been allowed to do to our people?"

 

Its the farmers in Australia who have guns... but as you can see they offer zero protection when police work for the banks and a dozen officers surround a man's kids.

Of course it would. In fact it would've happened sooner, and likely with battle rifles as opposed to a couple of shotties. Logically, if guns were more prevelant, there'd be more islamists with guns, which means more opportunities for this kind of faggotry. But that's beside the point. It's not gun ownership that causes problems, it's the willingness of people to point them at other people. Guns don't kill people . . . but damn if they don't make it a hell of a lot easier.

You'd know. Dickhead. More Guns = more shootings. US per capita Gun ownership rank number 1 (Source) couldn't possibly lead to this, or this, or my personal favourite, this from Milwaukee's Police Chief . . . An honest man doing a shit job who I'm fairly sure is better qualified than you, me, or most anyone here to comment on the single biggest problem when it comes to shooting violence: tooled up dickheads who don't care who they shoot. More guns means more dickheads with guns. Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox.

I teach the homeless how to make bombs and poison gas generators because of people like you, CapnJackDaniel.

 

Even the homeless can afford the materials and it takes NO PAPERWORK. As long as they have it for legitimate purposes it is legal.

 

The homeless are the greatest recyclers of all. I even teach them how to refine Gold so that I may buy it. (Saves me the work.) Now that is a legitimate reason, isn't it? They are using it FOR RECYCLING.

 

I want a level playing field. IEDs take out APCs

 

You are right...Whom needs a gun?  I do not own a gun to my name.

 

A gun is useless against an APC.

 

Just because most homeless are mentally ill does not mean that they are stupid.

 

How do you like the way that I say, "FUCK YOU"?

 

So please continue and try and get rid of the Second Amendment. It will be a blast. It will be a gas. It may even knock your socks off, man.

More guns = more bad guys with guns? 

Well fuck,  you guys know you can just legislate that problem away. 

But I'm thick,  so humor me here: don't lawbreakers ignore laws by definition?  And if only lawbreakers are armed,  wouldn't that mean more victims for the lawbreakers?

Mate I see what you're saying. Happy to discuss. Way I see it, the problem isn't guns. It's people being willing to use them on humans. And because you can't legislate against stupidity or psychosis or being a dickhead, they've gone with make it harder for everyone to get one. Even if everyone had a gun, most people wouldn't use or carry . . . and most people lack the training, temperment, judgement & situational awareness to respond appropriately to a threat. Are we safer with fewer guns? I think we are; from the casual dickhead anyway. Does that carry a risk? Of course it does.

 The trouble with OZ, and I have been there, is that we vision it as the outback and the small rural farms. That is not OZ, OZ is almost all big city metro areas, liberals abound, and most big tough Ozzy folks are total suburban pussies.

I noted a world of difference between Melbourne, and out in the rural areas. That is where the gun owners live. I wouldn't live or even hike in the bush with out a gun. For crawling things in the night and for two legged evil doers by day.

Yep we got all the best poisonous critters. Funnel webs and the occasional eastern browns in most backyards.

If people die, there may be a much uglier repeat of the Cronulla riots. In a way, I hope you're right and my fears are wrong.

Except on a military base, like Ft. Hood, which is a gun-free-zone.

11/5/2009

Twelve people have been killed and 31 wounded in a shooting spree at a
Texas military base by what officials believe was possibly carried out
by an Army officer.

The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

The shooter was killed and two other suspects, who are also soldiers, have been apprehended, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone said.

The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn't sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.
