Thank you Tezza, I would like to have said that....much better than my
repost!
Was pretty interested to see the black trench coats, hiding what?
Also at Webb Dock the Police were with the wharfies and on pretty good
terms.
Saw on TV a Van charge through the gates knocking several men aside, and
immediatly after the windscreen was seen to be smashed,,,,seemed to me the
men left their heads in the way as they were knocked aside, as the
newspapers have said that the men deliberately smashed the window causing
the BlackCoats to react with illegal mace.
My advice to the wharfies is to get some of those powder fire
extinguishers, have seen how quickly an attacker is stopped, as powder
escapes from their ears, once when I was attacked whilst driving a suburban
Train. He swung a bat at me,which I
deflected with the tank as I stuck the hose in his mouth and pulled the
trigger!
seriously though I had to notice that the black coats appeared to be
Foriegn...I wonder if they are Arabs, or perhaps South Africans.....I bet
their is going to be a lot of shit coming out of this whole thing.
Australia will never be the same again. I thinks.
Propaganda is a terrible thing, and the Goverment knows how to use it, and
of course have the dollars to spread it.
My beautiful Grand Mother once told me.
Remember if you tell a lie long enough, and keep reinforcing it, it wont be
long before
it becomes the truth, or at least your truth.
