Henry Rollins reported for thought crime

* Ahem! *

Back to Henry Rollins for a moment, if I may.

The "National Security Hotline" that he was "reported" to is a fantastic (and I use that word in its most literal sense) creation of the current Australian government, run by our fearless leader John Howard. (Good looking man, isn't he?)

It was set up, post September 11, to allow all of us fearful Australians to report (or as we say in Australia, "dob in") our Muslim neighbours for all sorts of possible terrorist acts. You know, parking illegally (is it a CAR BOMB?), talking loudly on a mobile phone in a foreign language (aka "hatching a plot") ... that kind of thing.

It's been immortalised in Australian folklore, because Johnny H actually wrote to us all personally (at least, it was his signature on the letter), and enclosed a fridge magnet with the hotline phone number on it.

Thus spawning any number of comedy routines about how we'll keep the terrorists at bay with a fridge magnet.

Here's the related government website. It doesn't take much reading between the lines to see that it's the most despicable kind of propaganda device.

Congratulations to Henry for being interesting enough to get dragged into its web.

 

Henry Rollins is a fucking bad-ass. The paranoid little shit that called him in is a bitch. The australian government is playing on paranoia to make people feel safer, (i.e. more comfortable with the current government) so they can get re-elected. There is only one lesson to be learned here. Beware the power of stupid people in large groups (democracy).

 

Yeah. And it's worse here in Australia because voting's compulsory. So we actually force the stupid people to have a say.

 

I love the good old U.S. of A.

 

When will Mr Howard's eye brows join the rest of his hair?

 

Back on topic why the heck are we talking about him he's not even a has been he is more like a never was.

 

Henry Rollins or John Howard?

Either way they've done a shitload more than you.

Or me, for that matter.

 

Oh yes Chester you know me so well you could right the book, but too do that you would have to take your head out of your ass to see the sun.

 

Surely he can't be talking about the front man for Black Flag...

 

Not to mention grammy winning artist, actor, political activist, charity contributor, and well read debater. Not to mention the guy is fucking huge.

 

Even I have heard of Henry Rawlins. He used to have a big bicep, and now he has taken up reading ? No , but I bet i know somebody that know somebody that knows him. ( Now this Auzzzie slander is getting personal ).
Kangaroo Liberation Army !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:
