NAP support Denis Burke's NT CLP
by bemused/amused Friday June 10, 2005 at 03:52 AM
NT

The people (NAP) who passionately plead with us not to vote in 2004, are now running candidates in the NT and directing their paltry preferences to the CLP

NAP support Denis Bu...

Hypocrisy has a new name

Who can forget the stirring oratory from NAP's Gary Meyerhoff, pleading with the plebs NOT to VOTE in 2004?

"How fortunate for governments that
the people they administer don't think."
-- Adolf Hitler.

http://www.napnt.org/pages/dont_vote_2004.html



Are they ready to be unplugged? (A 'matrix' allusion)

"Not voting is a protest against the State's domination by corporate interests and the repression taking place in Australia to serve those interests.

Voting gives the state a mandate for the American/Australian war on drugs, the Iraq war, the theft of East Timor's resources, the caging of refugee children and the continued repression of 'Australians' as security/police powers are broadened.

We must demonstrate our opposition - we must withdraw our mandate. It is time to unplug ourselves from the Matrix.

Elections have become the domain of media image makers and wealthy campaign contributors. Policies have become interchangeable. Voting is not a means of achieving change in Australia. Not voting is the ultimate protest vote. Don't feed the lie - Don't vote."



The Socialist Alliance and the Greens were demolished by Meyerhoff's eloquence and the ethical purity of his stance.

Who else would have the courage to compare the Greens to Nazis?

Suprisingly there was little criticism of the major parties from Meyerhoff.

One cynic claimed, this was because NAP were after the supporters and donations the minor parties attract, as they are seen as competition by NAP who have lost most of their support recently.

Sigh


You gotta admire their ability to reinvent themselves.

A very necessary attribute in their cases.

Now if they'd just be happy to stay mainstream and leave real political activists up here alone.

I could present some graphic insights into this crew - but I'd only feel like I was torturing kittens or something.

They are kinda defenceless.

So I'll leave them to it. And hope they've learned to stand on their own feet and not to attack people they see as competition.



I couldn't resist this though...

:-)



ps

preferences to the CLP?

That is shameful - No spin, excuses that move.

NAP self promo - "In a fiercely worded, sweeping critique that lumps the two major political parties and the also-rans into one barrel, NAP argues extensively with a range of controversial internet links and references."

Give your preferences to the Greens or SA if you must play this hypocritical publicity-seeking game. Show some respect for Aboriginal people, the East Timorese, et al.

Blowflies
by Imbecile Spotter Saturday June 11, 2005 at 06:15 PM

I suspect this thread will provide rich pickings indeed for my collection!

Gary Meyerhoff, Stuart Highway, Mick Lambe. Imbeciles all and likely to be attracted to this post like blowflies to the shit smeared anus of a cow. Just not as intelligent.

What turns imbecile on
by pr Sunday June 12, 2005 at 04:17 AM

If the shit smeared anus of a cow turns you on then ' Imbecile'?

Try not to get caught tho.

Can I just say something here as a real person and not a sick perverted cop-pig troll like the imbecile above?

1) Anarchists can run in elections - Take Dr Joe Toscano and the vote informals. Please.
2) Tactical voting can be defended - Saint Noam does this and he can walk on water and raise the dead doncha know.
3) Now read my cows lips - As far as I'm concerned the GREENS are BROWNshirt NAZI's and I can prove that.

( But that would take another thread.)

This article might have more heft and carry more weight were it coming from a libertarian socialist aspect.
Unfortunately it would seem that it comes from a tradition of authoritarian socialism that has an incredibly bloody history of red fascist mass murder and holocaust denial.

The leninoid tradition embraced by Mick ' Trotsky' Lambe.

I choose democratic socialism over leninism any fucking day of the week Mick.

Call me an anarchist bandit.

So how about publishing yr parochial sectarian bigoted red fascist garbage where it belongs?

Up the deep north. ( or up yr deep arsehole - whatever fits best )

Whatever, except...

NAP are ex-trots - well not really - they know about as much about socialism as they do about ethics.

They ran for SA in elections

NAP are an authoritarian sect

And Stan Goff is briliant

I've stopped the reds butchering peasants up here for years and this is the thanks I get?

Halfman's deep understanding of NT politics
by Bushy Sunday June 12, 2005 at 02:55 PM

"Give your preferences to the Greens or SA if you must play this hypocritical publicity-seeking game." - Halfman

http://nt.socialist-alliance.org/
Due to resource contraints, the Socialist Alliance will not be fielding candidates in the upcoming Territory elections. We encourage our supporters to vote for progressive candidates

Socialist Alliance statement on the NT Elections
Repeal the drug-house laws. Decriminalise personal drug use.
More teachers, more nurses, less police.
Tenure and justice for the One Mile Dam community.
For a nuclear free NT
Criminalise unsafe workplaces. Jail bosses who kill.
Repeal all mandatory sentencing laws.
No support for US bases.
Halt environmentally destructive development.

So while some real activists are working on some real issues you have others like Halfman bitching and sniping from the sidelines.

Why NAP are running
by non-voter Sunday June 12, 2005 at 08:20 PM

From NAPNT digest:

The saddest part about the whole election thing is that it brings you
back to reality. The reality that the vast majority of Australian's
believe that we are living in a democracy and that their vote counts
at the ballot box. The truth is that we are governed by the same
corporations no matter who is in power. The Labor and Liberal parties
are virtually the same, and they are not there to represent the little
people on the ground, they are there to represent the interests of big
business.

We hope that NAP supporters don't think that we are true believers in
the Australian political system. The opposite is the case. NAP is a
revolutionary organization dedicated to fundamental change, from the
bottom up. By running in the election we are able to expose Australian
democracy as a façade.


-----------------


And yes, SA is giving it's votes to the progressive candidates - Greens and NAP.

Mick Lambe the big fucking sook
by Bushy, Sunday May 25, 2003 at 01:21 PM



"[Please note that "Bushy" has been identified as a troll who's main interest is in starting flame wars, by the MelbIndy collective. He has posted under numerous psuedonyms, nearly always to flame someone or post an EdPol breaching post. His post below is a clear example of this. Please keep this in mind as you hear its protests about having its posts pulled - Ed. (ZB).]"


"You cunts on the Indymedia collective are just as pathetic as Micky Boy."

"You are the most fucking gutless bunch of poofters that I have ever come across. You alow a known "child molester" like Mick Lambe to crap on non stop and then act like his fucking servent and remove any comment that is in anyway critical of him."

"You make me want to vomit."

- Bushy (NAP cultee)

As the true DIM minutes reveal - NAP have been attacking real activists up here for years.

http://www.country-liberal-party.com/pages/Gary_Meyerhoffs_NAP-DIM_collective_lied.htm

And their bs about the election system doesn't change the fact that they were telling people not to vote last year.

NAP are doing this to publicise themselves not the issues. As has been proven, NAP attack people working hard on anti-racism, anti-war and other issues NAP use as entryist vehicles.

Their cyberstalking and abuse of real activists demonstrates their real cult agenda.

"Association with people who are more fixated on their group (and attacking other groups) than the issues they purport to represent can only harm us. We really need unity up here right now." - DIM Minutes


NAP have no credibility after lying to indymedia.

Support from Bushy is another coffin-nail for NAP.

So is giving their preferences to the CLP.

Remember East Timor?

Remember East Timor?
by Bushy Monday June 13, 2005 at 03:25 AM

Hard to forget it. I am just back from there.

You have never been there have you?
Doesn't matter, I am sure your expert on it.
Like your election commentary, I look forward to reading your insights.

Disappointed but not surprised with what happened at DIM. We should be building the Indymedia project, not destroying it.

While I was in East Timor I toyed with the idea of some sort of dili.indymedia or timorleste.indymedia project.

It would be hard.

Outside of Dili there is absolutely no public internet access and any private citizen who had access would be a member of the elite.

I mean their aren't even any public phones in the country or even a mail delivery service outside of of Dili CBD.

I was going to write a story for Darwin Indy (published under another name, as I was banned from DIM) but your little squable with Gaz and the boys has put an end to that.

As for me being a NAP cultee and out of the NAP closet........ puleezee!

Gee Halfman I have even agreed with and supported some of your issue driven, non egocentrically motivated scribbling's in the past.
Doesn't mean I am a supporter or a cult member of yours.

Anyway got a lot to do. In case you forget their is an election later on this week.

bye

"...Whatever, except...

NAP are ex-trots - well not really - they know about as much about socialism as they do about ethics. .."

Well this is hot shit ' news' for our Melbourne wire isn't it!
You may as well be talking about the neo-cons...or some of yr close friends who may still be Trots?
You don't seem to know shit about libertarian socialism after all these years. Or ethics. Or diversity of tactics, or...a lot actually.

And 'Whatever' yrself - is this parochial sectarian crap of an ' article' or wha!?

Is it mango season or something? I thought youse all went mad up there during the big wet, you big wet.

You make whinging Pommies look like stoic spartans Mick you big gossipy sook. WHAAA! NAPPIEs stole my nappies! WHAAA!

"...They ran for SA in elections .."

So? You never hear of tactical voting? They don't seem too serious about valorizing the process from the sound of it. Certainly yr spin is pathetic enough to indicate chronic insecurity and a cling on approach to dogma.

Never heard of ' diversity of tactics' or the ' vote informals' or even ' live and let live' ?

And your not a million miles politically from the SA yrself I hear - from yourself.

Say it aint so Moe.

"...NAP are an authoritarian sect..."

So are all Leninist's...so this is news?

Don't they need attacking effectively then?

They may even be moving away from mad Marxism toward democratic socialism. Like N Klein and others who are waking up to red fascism. That would be good news Mick.

It will be good news the day you disassociate yrself from Leninists - except for the purpose of destroying them. That'll be the day.


"...And Stan Goff is briliant ..." (sic)

With comments like that yr only destroying yrself. Yr joking right? Where's the little smiley?

Stan Goff is an archtypal red fascist.

------------------------------

"...I've stopped the reds butchering peasants up here for years and this is the thanks I get?

:-) .."

Now sick jokes about red fascist holocaust denial - pretty tacky Mick. You sound more of a lamer leftist loser everyday. It's sad to watch.

"...Chavez says hello ..."

Between John Holloway ,SC Marcos and Tariq Ali , James Petras there is a major Marxist split. It's between the anti-statists and the statists.

Whose side are you on? No ...Wait...let me guess...

Oh and btw ...let me know if I ever malign you unfairly Ozymickmandias. You suck.
