Former Australian lawmaker retires from board of Huawei unit

Thursday, January 31, 2019 10:15 p.m. CST

 

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A former Australian lawmaker retired from the board of the local arm of China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd on Friday, potentially weakening the firm's efforts to withstand government moves to restrict its market access on security grounds.

 

John Brumby, a former premier of the state of Victoria, will leave the world's biggest maker or telecommunications equipment on March 1 after eight years as a director of it's Australian subsidiary.

 

Brumby's exit reduces Huawei's influence in Canberra at a time when Western nations increase scrutiny of Chinese telcoms equipment makers over concern that China's government could use their products for espionage. Huawei says the concern is unfounded.

 

Brumby was a key figure in Huawei's unsuccessful efforts to prevent Australia's conservative government banning the company from participating in the country's fifth-generation (5G) communications network last year.

 

"The timing of my retirement from the board is completely unrelated to any recent commentary regarding China and Huawei," Brumby said in an emailed statement.

 

"I remain a strong supporter of closer ties between Australia and China, particularly in the fields of investment, trade, education and R&D."

 

Huawei has been under siege since the arrest of its chief financial officer in Canada in December at the behest of the United States. The U.S. Justice Department has accused Huawei of bank fraud and conspiring to steal trade secrets. Huawei denies wrongdoing.

 

Though barred from Australia's 5G network, Huawei has maintained its presence in the region and has secured a series of contracts in the face of Australian objection.

 

"Brumby, as a former premier, carries weight as a lobbyist. Losing someone of the stature will hurt Huawei's efforts to prosecute its case and to be allowed to expand in the region," said Haydon Manning, professor of politics at Flinders University in South Australia.

Australian barrister and adviser to Mr Assange, Greg Barns, said credit was owed to Australia's former foreign affairs minister Julie Bishop, who he said had gone to great lengths to ensure Mr Assange's rights as an Australian citizen were upheld by being granted a passport.

European royals killing naked children for fun at human hunting parties

 

This is one in a series of articles taken from eyewitness testimony before the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. Five international judges are examining evidence of child rape, torture, murder and kidnapping allegedly done by global elite members of the Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network. Regular Ninth Circle child sacrifices were said to take place in the catacombs of Catholic Cathedrals, the Vatican, on private estates and groves and government military bases in Belgium, Holland, Spain, Australia, Ireland, France, England and the US. At least 34 child mass grave sites were identified in Ireland, Spain and Canada – and refused excavation by the respective governments, Crown of England and Catholic Church. Named as present in Ninth Circle activities were Pope Francis, former Pope Ratzinger;Anglican, United Church of Canada and Catholic Church officials including Cardinals; members of European royalty including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip; officials of the Canadian, Australian, UK and US military and governments including the USA’s CIA, plus prominent government ministers, judges, politicians and businessmen from the US, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Australia, France, Ireland and the UK.

 

Teens were drugged, stripped naked, raped, hunted down in the woods and killed by European royals according to this week’s latest eyewitness to testify before the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. The woman was the fourth eyewitness to give accounts about these human hunting parties of the global elite Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network. A former member of the Netherlands criminal drug syndicate known as Octopus testified that victims were obtained for these human hunting parties from juvenile detention centers in Belgium and Holland.

 

“In 2004 I was an involuntary witness to torture, rape and murder sessions of drugged children performed for a group of high ranked people of the Netherlands” stated a woman. “I was taken to a hunting party in Belgium close to Brussels where I saw two boys and a girl ages 14 to 16, hunted and killed by global elites. The human hunting party was heavily guarded by the Netherlands Royal Guards. I was told that King Albert of Belgium was present.”

 

Four eyewitnesses confirmed that as children and youths they were forced to attend human hunting parties where they and other children were raped, with some killed, and deceased boy’s penises were cut off. Allegedly there was a Dutch countryside palace where boys’ penises were displayed like trophies on a wall. Some hunting parties were hosted on the grounds of Belgium Queen Beatrix’s Palace.

 

Dutch therapist Toos Nijenhuis claimed that as a four year-old she was forced to witness murders of children that involved former Pope Ratzinger, a Dutch Catholic Cardinal, plus the father of Netherlands Belgium Queen Beatrix and Bilderberger Founder, Dutch Crown Prince Alfrink Bernhard. “I saw the former Pope Joseph Ratzinger murder a little girl″ another witness confirmed. “It was at a French chateau in the fall of 1987. It was ugly, horrible and didn’t happen just once. Ratzinger and Bernhard were some of the more prominent men who took part.”

Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience

 

Dual Use Discipline for Understanding & Managing Complexity and Altering Warfare

by John Stanton / June 30th, 2007

 

The Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience (ECN) discipline, and its associated fields, may produce tools that advance humanity’s ability to understand and manage itself. Simultaneously, ECN may also yield brain-centric weaponry that drastically alters human warfare. The United States Department of Defense (DOD) may marshal significant resources — as it did during the 1941 to 1946 Manhattan Project — to drive ECN research, development and testing. DOD is the only entity in the United States with the capability to fully fund ECN programs. The DOD’s Defense Science Board and the United States’ Intelligence Community has recently suggested research thrusts into ECN and the merging of data-heavy sciences and social sciences. Success will ultimately depend on program directors and researchers’ acceptance of general Evolutionary Theory and, in particular, Evolutionary Psychology. Failure to do this will result in a mosh-pit of studies based on dated science and methodology.

 

Excerpt…

 

Exploring and Dissecting the Human Terrain

 

The increasing global interdependence implies an increase in complexity. However, the relationship that was discussed between this complexity and the internal structural changes that are taking place in social and economic systems provides us with an additional insight. The change from hierarchical to distributed control implies that the complexity of collective behaviors is not only increasing, it is already higher than that of a single individual. In this context, the traditional conflict between individual and collective good and rights should be revisited. This philosophical and practical conflict manifested itself in the conflict between democracy and communism. It was assumed that communism represented an ideology of the collective while democracy represented an ideology of the individual. The transition to a complex organism implies that this conflict has been resolved, not in favor of one or the other, but rather of a third category — an interdependent complex collective formed out of diverse individuals.

 

The traditional collective model was a model that relied on the uniformity of the individuals rather than diversity. Similarly, the ideology of the individual did not view the individual in relation to the collective, but rather the individual serving himself or herself. It should be acknowledge that both philosophies were deeper than their caricatures would suggest. The philosophy of democracy included the idea that the individualistic actions would also serve the benefit of the collective, and the philosophy of communism included the idea that the collective would benefit the individual.

 

Nevertheless, the concept of civilization as a complex organism formed out of human beings is qualitatively different than either form of government. There are two natural conclusions to be drawn from recognizing that human beings are part of a global organism. First. one can recognize that human civilization has a remarkable capacity for responding to external and internal challenges. The existence of such a capacity for response does not mean human civilization will survive external challenges any more than the complexity of an organism guarantees its survival. However, one can hope that the ability to prevent local disasters will increase…Second, the complexity of our individual lives must be understood in the context of a system that must enable its components (us) to contribute effectively to the collective system…The merging of disciplines in the field of complex systems runs counter to the increasing specialization in science and engineering [but] it provides many opportunities for synergies and the recognition of general principles that can form a basis for education and understanding in all fields.

In Ireland, Spain and Canada 34 child mass grave sites were discovered and appeared linked to Ninth Circle activities. The Ninth Circle Satanic Cult, a child sacrifice group composed of global elites, appears to be routinely raping, torturing and murdering children. The largest was the Mohawk Indian Residential School in Brantford Ontario where child remains were identified in 2008 before the Catholic Church, Canadian government and English Crown shut down the dig by professional archeologists. The 2013 ICLCJ Court had found Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip guilty for the Oct. 10 1964 disappearance of ten native children from the Catholic residential school in Kamloops British Columbia. In the first two weeks of the 2014 court witnesses identified Dutch and Belgian royal participants in the rape and killing of Mohawk children and newborns. Named were Bernhard and King Hendrick, consort to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.

 

Alleged to be present during the human hunting parties were the late Prince Johan Friso -Dutch prince Friso, younger brother of King Willem-Alexander, died on Monday 18 months after he was left brain-damaged by an avalanche while skiing in Austria, the palace claimed- and his wife Mabel Wisse Smit, former ministers, the top man of the Dutch army, the under secretary of the Raad Van State in the Netherlands, the Vice-Roy next to Queen Beatrix and other global business and political leaders including some from the US. “Surely the present King Willem Alexander and King Filip and their wives know about this abuse and murder of children” said one eyewitness.”They do nothing about it and likely are the ones to stop investigations and prosecutions.”

 

In January 2014 the brother of the king of Holland Prince Johan Friso passed away in a coma after these three Dutch-language websites shown here reached the internet. The websites revealed that Friso was at the human hunting and killing parties.”The story came on the internet after years of trying to move the policy and justice department in the Netherlands to act against the criminals,” an eyewitness said. “Nobody did anything to stop these criminals, probably because Queen Beatrix and King Albert likely interfered with the investigations.”

 

Pope Benedict XVI: Joseph Ratzinger was personally in charge of the part of the Vatican responsible for enforcing Catholic canonical law across the world, including on sexual abuse, for 25 years Human hunting parties were said to take place on the grounds of Belgium Queen Beatrix’s Palace in the Netherlands. Two witnesses have named former Pope Joseph Ratzinger and Queen Beatrix’s father the deceased Prince Alfrink Bernhard, as being present at child sacrifices. Both were said to be Nazi sympathizers.

 

The ICLCJ Court received a collection of Jesuit archival records about a child sacrificial cult known as the Knights of Darkness. In 1933 the Knights were established by the Catholic Jesuits and Nazi Waffen S.S. Division. The records showed Ratzinger was identified as a member of the Knights while working as an S.S. Chaplain’s assistant at the Ravensbruck Concentration Camp in Germany. The records also stated that Ratzinger participated in child sacrificial rites using kidnapped children from the camps or political prisoners.

 

Another court document called the Magisterial Privilege indicated child sacrifice was a regular occurrence at the Vatican. At the tender age of 12 “Svali” of San Diego County California claimed she was brought to catacombs beneath the Vatican to witness the sacrifice of a three year-old drugged boy. In this video her interviewer said that 24 years prior a “Maria” told him she witnessed another satanic child sacrifice rite in the same Vatican Catacombs.

Perfect for the tail end of our Australian Bread!

 

Labor Senators spent last week scrutinising the Government in Senate Estimates. There was a lot of news coming out of Parliament House so here are my top seven moments from Estimates.

 

  1. Game, set, match - Michaelia Cash in hiding from the Federal Police

 

For nearly 18 months now Labor has pursued Michaelia Cash over her office’s leak to the media of advance notice of a police raid of the Australian Workers’ Union. We now know, from evidence given under oath by Minister Cash’s former staff in court, that this scandal in fact involved two of her personal staff, another person about to join her office and a staff member of then Justice Minister, Michael Keenan.

 

Estimates uncovered new evidence from the Australian Federal Police and the Director of Public Prosecutions, that Cash and Keenan had refused to provide witness statements in their criminal investigation, and that the only reason someone hasn’t been prosecuted is a lack of evidence – including the witness statements Cash and Keenan have refused to provide

 

Despite this, under hours of questioning from Labor Senators, Minister Cash continued to claim she had cooperated with police. Who do you believe? Michaelia Cash? Or the Federal Police?

  1. Helloworld – Goodbye credibility

 

It was Helloworld and goodbye credibility for the Finance Minister last week, who claimed he hadn’t even noticed the travel company run by the Liberal Party Treasurer hadn’t charged him almost $2800 for his family holiday for nearly two years.

 

It got even murkier with a bombshell email sent to the foreign affairs committee by a former Helloworld employee. He claimed Helloworld’s CEO was able to set up a meeting, at short notice, with officials from the Australian embassy in Washington to discuss its bid for a lucrative contract because Australia’s ambassador to the US (and former Liberal Treasurer, Joe Hockey) “owed” him. Helloworld’s CEO denies this and the Government insists Mr Hockey hasn’t done anything wrong.

 

Just more evidence that the Liberals are only interested in looking after themselves and their mates at the top end of town and not governing in the interests of all Australians.

The Morrison Liberals are now getting so desperate even ASIO is calling them out for leaking classified documents for political gain.

 

Australia’s Intelligence Chiefs told Senate Estimates that they weren’t impressed by their assessments being misrepresented and then handed to the media to score political points.

  1. Government favours for mates… again!

 

The Government continued with its ‘jobs for mates’ policy last week – this time using money from the Indigenous Advancement Strategy to fund a television program on Sky News starring Warren Mundine, the Liberal Party’s candidate for the electorate of Gilmore.

 

Senator Jenny McAllister questioned Minister for Indigenous Affairs Nigel Scullion about how this deal happened– with Scullion denying Mundine had privately proposed the television show to him despite the department saying that’s exactly what happened.

 

The Minister further denied that spending public money to raise the profile of somebody who would soon become a Liberal candidate was a bad look – securing his spot in the “completely out of touch” category of senators in the Morrison Government.

ATTENTION ANONS - CAN WE GET SOME 'EYES' ON THIS - DIGGING SITE OPEN

 

  1. Thousands of older Australians are waiting for support but the Government doesn’t care.

 

Shadow Assistant Minister for Ageing, Senator Helen Polley grilled the Morrison Liberal Government about their shameful record on ageing and aged care.

 

It was revealed that instead of delivering more home care packages for the 127,000 older Australians on the waiting list (including 69,000 older Australians with no home care at all), they had spent $128,565 of taxpayer money to send a propaganda letter to those who already had a home care package.

 

This self-congratulatory letter is on top of an $8.2 million advertising campaign last year for the Government’s failing aged care reforms. This money could be better spent on actually delivering support for more vulnerable Australians.

 

At a time when older Australians are waiting more than two years for a home care package this is a classic example of this Government’s appalling priorities.

 

It’s disappointing that the Liberals continue to mislead older Australians and give them false hope. The Minister even tried to downplay the seriousness of the home care waitlist crisis saying there are "only 69,000" vulnerable older Australians waiting with no home care package at all!

 

~ My Two Cents ~

 

Well, just think… "69,000" vulnerable older Australians… what are the odds that the same PlayBook is in use for "vulnerable older Australians" that was used to create the NDIS.

 

A Class Action brought by 69,000 is a very Big Stick and would be an unexpected blow (to both sides) from an angry public.

 

How is it done? NDIS PlayBook - Begin - Every mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparent, Grandkids, carers, service providers, and friends, campaigned the hell out of it, and a select few (Anons?) wrote the original outline agreement for Government to ratify.

 

The NDIS Blackmailed the Government with their VOTE.

Do you think 69,000 vulnerable older Australians can't do the same thing?

This is the type of War we are fighting in Australia, we are fighting for our very lives, without help, our time is very short. If Voting is the ONLY POWER Patriots have left in Oz, then we need to inform others of our findings in any way we can. Memes, Blogs, Twatter, and that 'other' one too.

Networks gather in push to change age pension and reduce poverty.

 

Australians have a proud history of punching above their weight. From sporting endeavours to the Hills Hoist, which led the rotary clothes line revolution worldwide, to the polymer note and social policy innovations such as loans for education with income contingent repayments, first introduced as the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS).

 

However rarely do we acknowledge the significance of the introduction of the Age Pension in Australia, not only one of the first in the world, but certainly the first of its kind.

 

We might take for granted the fact that everyone regardless of their income levels in the past is eligible to receive the full Age Pension rate pending the wealth and income test.

 

In Australia, unlike most other Age Pensions around the world, earning a low-income, taking time out of the workforce for family or caring duties, or being a small business owner was no barrier to receiving old age pension assistance form government.

 

This principle was hard fought for by early Australian advocates for the Age Pension and enshrined in the Invalid and Old Age Pensions Act passed by our young Commonwealth Parliament on 10 July 1908.

 

The role and delivery of the Age Pension has of course changed significantly since then, most noticeably along the assumption that Australians could and would own their own homes by the end of their working lives. For those who didn’t there were government provided services to assist, including the public housing system providing subsidised accommodation, as well as public health services delivered in tranches at various stages.

 

Looking back on the Age Pension in Australia, it’s clear that it’s time to again review the adequacy of the Age Pension and indeed the retirement system as a whole in keeping people out of poverty. On even a cursory glance, it’s clear that the assumptions underpinning the Age Pension have not kept up with the reality of the changing economic landscape.

 

The problems with our housing system are well documented, including declining ownership and the high costs and insecurity of renting. We’ve never gotten around to properly integrating dental care into the public health system, with commensurate subsidies for affordability. We are pushing essential services such as Centrelink and My Aged Care online without considering the cost inhibitions faced by poorer households to maintain an internet connection.

 

The Benevolent Society looked at exactly that question in the research report The Adequacy of the Age Pension, which we undertook alongside our partners Per Capita and The Longevity Innovation Hub.

 

The research found that whilst some people can enjoy a decent standard of living whilst receiving the Age Pension, they rely on a certain number of life factors to go their way. For too many, for example renters, people with unexpected health costs and people who are single, it’s a very different situation.

 

This has recently been confirmed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s recently released figures showing that more than a quarter (26 per cent) of people aged 66 or over are experiencing poverty, which is about double the average of OECD nations.

 

Australia is a rich country, meaning that this situation is of our own doing. It’s a result of the choices we make as a community. The good news is that we can also make the decision to do better.

 

We have launched the Fix Pension Poverty campaign to pursue the recommendations of The Adequacy of the Age Pension report. The campaign is calling on our politicians to commit to:

 

*basing decisions on the rate of the age pension on evidence, adequacy and need – not on party politics

*providing free dentistry for people receiving the Age Pension

*increasing rental assistance by 30 per cent for couples, 50 per cent for singles and indexing to rental increases

*introducing a new broadband rebate to keep people connected to essential services

 

With our campaign supporters including National Seniors we’ve been visiting local communities to raise awareness of the issues faced by older people experiencing poverty and showing how we believe the Government could fix this situation.

 

We’re bringing together networks and groups of older Australians and their allies to build local Fix Pension Poverty campaigns to ask questions of their local representatives.

 

We were promised a Federal budget for older Australians, but received nothing for people on the lowest incomes, in the most need of assistance.

 

With communities getting organised around the issues faced by people on the Age Pension experiencing poverty, this might be our opportunity to reconfigure the Age Pension to today’s economy and reduce poverty.

The Morrison Government can’t be trusted to bring the big banks into line, even after the scathing Royal Commission report.

 

Scott Morrison and his Liberals voted 26 times to block a Royal Commission despite thousands of Australians being ripped off by their bank.

 

Thanks to questioning by Labor Senators, it’s been revealed the Liberals are slashing funding to the corporate watchdog ASIC, precisely at the time when they should be making sure ASIC has what it needs to hold the banks to account.

 

Watch the ASIC Chairman admit that they will be constrained due to the cuts they are set to suffer from under this Government.

 

The frantic pace of the last two weeks in Canberra has shown what we can expect from the Morrison Government in the lead up to the May election: policy thought bubbles and shrill scare campaigns. It’s clear they’ll say anything to cling onto power.

 

Labor is ready to govern. Bill and Tanya lead a steady, stable and united team. We’re focussed on delivering a fairer nation, and we’ve already outlined the most ambitious policy agenda of any opposition in living memory.

 

From a Penny Wong email blast, kek.

KEK, Many thanks for the Shilling.

 

The ONLY reason the Libs get bashed a bit more on this board is because they have a Muppet leading them and shit is coming out left, right and centre.

 

I have many bones to pick with Billy Bob Shorten!

 

And more questions about Tanya - who will stab Shorten in the back the very first chance she gets, after Labor wins.

 

And who the fuck is Michael Coutts-Trotter ???

What NSW role will he play in our new Federal Government?

New twist, because the Gillard/Gay Boyfriend was for the Gay Movement, this Tanya/Michael will be a visual narrative for the last of the straight/family oriented groups. The same group who are working themselves into an early grave to keep housing prices high, too high.

 

It's the Rudd/Gillard PlayBook ALL OVER AGAIN… WAKE UP PEOPLE!
