SILLI Saturday: Australia's ISIS

"Australia adds security over terror threat" by David Stringer and Edward Johnson | Bloomberg News   September 20, 2014

SYDNEY — Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced extra armed patrols for Parliament while the military beefed up security at its bases after a series of raids aimed at countering a home-grown threat from the Islamic State.

Intelligence agencies detected chatter this month between Australians fighting in Iraq and Syria and their supporters at home that federal Parliament in Canberra could be targeted, Abbott told reporters Friday.

‘‘I’m not aware that specific individuals have been named as part of this chatter,’’ he said. ‘‘Certainly, government, government people, and Parliament have been referred to.’’ 

I'm tired of all this propaganda chatter and am close to shutting this down.

Officials carried out the biggest antiterrorism operation in the nation’s history Thursday, thwarting an alleged plot by extremists in Sydney to randomly abduct someone and behead them as part of the Islamic State’s global propaganda campaign.

OMG, they never give up with this ludicrousness!! 

The head-chopping videos are fakes, folks. This is all staged and scripted lies and an intelligence agency psyop with the global propaganda campaign an in-your-face fart.

Australia’s support of US-led efforts to contain Islamic State has heightened the risk of domestic retaliation, while raising the prospect of a backlash against the almost 500,000 people who identify as Muslim.

The raids were prompted after an Australian senior Islamic State operative in Syria instructed locally-based supporters this week to conduct ‘‘demonstration killings of Australian citizens,’’ Abbott said. Attacks may have been probable ‘‘within a few days,’’ he said. ‘‘It is a serious situation when all you need to do to carry out a terrorist attack is to have a knife, an iPhone, and a victim.’’

It's not funny anymore.

Abbott, who will host world leaders at November’s Group of 20 summit in Brisbane, has committed 600 military personnel to the US-led fight against Islamic State in the Middle East. The government raised the terrorism alert last week to the highest level in a decade, citing the threat posed by local supporters of the militant group. The security alert level has been raised at military bases, the Department of Defense said Friday in an e-mail.

An additional 1,000 police have been deployed in Cairns for this weekend’s meeting of G-20 policymakers, police in Queensland said.

That's why this terror booga-booga was needed?

Muslim community leaders met with law enforcement officials in Sydney amid concern about an escalation of tensions since the terrorism alert was raised. Australia’s grand mufti, Ibrahim Abu Mohammad, urged lawmakers and the country’s media to show restraint.

‘‘Fair-minded Australians should not allow bigots and media shock jocks to undermine the cohesion within society,’’ he said by e-mail. New South Wales police said officers would work to prevent reprisal attacks against the Muslim community.

‘‘The community reception of these police interventions does have to be considered,’’ Kevin Dunn, dean of the School of Social Science and Psychology at the University of Western Sydney, said.

What does that mean? They were all head-chopping terrorists!

The raids Thursday, which involved about 800 police officers across 12 northwest Sydney suburbs and in Brisbane, were proportionate with the scale of the threat, Abbott said. Efforts were being directed at preventing reprisals against Muslims, he said.

‘‘I certainly don’t want to isolate any community,’’ Abbott told ABC Radio. ‘‘I want to wrap up the extended family of the Australian nation in an embrace.’’

Look at the Aussie furiously shovel shit.

I think I'm now seeing why this idiot was selected and the last government sacked. They weren't going to go along with this garbage, were they?

"British hostage warns West in new ISIS video" by Ishaan Tharoor | Washington Post   September 19, 2014

WASHINGTON — Australia’s prime minister, Tony Abbott, who is in the country’s far north fulfilling an earlier pledge to better engage with Australia’s indigenous peoples, told reporters that the raids were conducted following directives from Islamic State commanders in the Middle East that ordered sympathizers to carry out this type of ‘‘demonstration killing.’’

‘‘Quite direct exhortations were coming from an Australian who is apparently quite senior in [Islamic State] to networks in Australia to conduct demonstration killings here in this country,’’ Abbott said.

The Soufan Group, a terrorism monitor, estimates that about 250 Australian nationals have joined the conflict in Syria.

Their version of SITE?

That number may be on the high end, though. Whatever the figure, a considerable proportion of the Australian jihadists are probably in the ranks of the Islamic State. The Herald Sun ‘‘unmasks’’ the identity of more than a dozen, including a former kickboxer and TV star.

Yeah, WHATEVER the figure just accept the crap narrative shoveled at us by war-mongering governments and the mouthpieces that serve them in the war-promoting propaganda pre$$.

There are half a million Muslims in Australia and only the tiniest of minorities have anything to do with the networks connecting disaffected Muslims to jihadist causes in the Middle East. Terrorism experts say the ‘‘jihadist scene’’ in the country is still very small.

Now you tell me! That was certainly not the impression I had seeing these articles and headlines. 

You see what we are looking at here, and I'm so sick of self-created boogeyman ghosts being waved at us to make us afraid. This whole war on terror, war on Muslims bull is really wearing thin, and the thick spread of shit-smelling propaganda is not helping matters. 

It's over, guys. You can stop smearing. The false flag jig is up, and the flogging of the war agenda just makes you look bad.

The presence of Australian jihadists among the forces of the Islamic State caught the world’s attention over the summer following a ghastly set of images posted online, showing Khaleed Sharrouf, an Australian, posing alongside his 7-year-old son with the severed head of a Syrian soldier. ‘‘That’s my boy!’’ read one caption.

More fake videos and propaganda.

Sharrouf is probably the most well-known jihadist from Australia to join the Islamic State, which has come to the fore in recent months, claiming a vast swath of territory in parts of eastern Syria and northern and western Iraq.

Time to put the tired old Jewish war narrative down under.
