The fight for freedom continues…

Hereward — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 23:20:03 +0000

Tonight I am joined by Josh Jackson and John Bursill to discuss a number of issues of the day, leading with the landmark decision by an Australian Federal Court against the Australian film and television industry which was trying to make ISPs liable for the downloading habits of their customers.

“You can breach copyright in two ways. One is by directly breaching it, which the users did; and secondly you can authorise a breach of copyright, which you can sometimes do by putting people in a position where they can breach copyright,” Mr Lambrick said.

“Now what Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) had argued was that by providing its internet service, iiNet was putting its account holders in a position whereby they could breach copyright directly themselves.

“Justice Cowdroy found it wasn’t the ISP’s system that was responsible for the breach of copyright. It was actually the BitTorrent system which was the means by which copyright was breached.”

Other topics in focus on tonight’s show include the latest develoments in the 9/11 truth movement and the quest to create a broad based anti-war / truth & justice movement to oppose the ongoing military agression and erosion of civil liberties seen across many countries.

A great show and an excellent discussion - not to be missed!

Lord Monckton on climate change fraud

Hereward — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:21:34 +0000

Today we are joined by Lord Christopher Monckton, British peer, mathematician, and former advisor to the Prime Minister.

Lord Monckton, currently in Australia on a speaking tour, is one of the most outspoken and influential anthropogenic climate change sceptics, bringing a level of passion and intellectual rigour which is often missing in public debate. He is chief policy adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute, a non-profit institute of research and education “dedicated to sound public policy based on sound science”.

Lord Monckton rose to prominence in the global warming debate with articles published in November 2006 disputing whether global warming is man-made, suggesting that it was unlikely to prove catastrophic, and criticising the science presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Lord Monckton also played a role in a 2007 UK High Court of Justice legal challenge in a bid to prevent the Al Gore film, “An Inconvenient Truth” being shown in English schools without offering alternative, balancing opinions. He was involved in distributing the documentary, “The Great Global Warming Swindle” to schools as a riposte.

During the interview Lord Monckton recounts the reasons why he came to be an anthropogenic climate change sceptic, in the context of his experience as a policy advisor to former PM Margaret Thatcher. He goes on to enumerate some of the more egregious lies and distortions made by the IPCC scientists and then turns to look at the anti-democratic agenda of the politicians and business leaders who he describes as corporate fascists. These interests, he asserts are striving to create a dictatorial, unelected world government which will oppress and exploit ordinary working people on a global level.

Introducing the Australian Pirate Party

Hereward — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:12:18 +0000

Is downloading of copyrighted content theft? Should we reform the concepts of digital and intellectual property? Do new technologies like BitTorrent really require new criminal statutes or should record companies change their business models? Is the criminalisation of file sharing really just protecting the interests of mega corporations?

Tonight we welcome to the show David Crafti, President of the Pirate Party of Australia to discuss these and more questions.

What is the Pirate Party all about? From the pp website:

Real property is something that you can touch. In simple terms, if one person possesses it, another person cannot possess it at the same time. Intellectual property is information. If a person makes a copy of a song, the person who owns the original is not deprived of the song.

The Pirate Party is dedicated to protecting civil liberties with an emphasis on reform of copyright law, freedom of speech and protection of privacy. Other policy areas include opposition to internet censorship, support for an R18+ rating for games and providing parents with software tools to manage access to the internet.

The Australian Pirate Party has affiliations with movements around the world which are rapidly gaining in popularity.

Exploring the hidden truth of HIV and AIDS

Hereward — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 09:13:51 +0000

In tonight’s show we bring you a gripping interview with American film maker Brent Leung, whose documentary on AIDS, House of Numbers, has collected a swag of awards at film festivals across the United States. The interview was conducted on the Radio Skid Row 88.9 FM breakfast show in Sydney on 21 Jan 2010.

The film explores a controversy which has been all but hidden from the general public due to blatant censorship in mainstream media over several decades, and consists of a series of interviews with some of the most distinguished biomedical scientists of our age, including two Nobel Prize winners.

At its core the controversy over AIDS is easy to state: there are many qualified experts who vigorously assert the HIV does not cause AIDS.

This claim however belies deeper questions about whether AIDS is really a disease at all, since the label is applied in different countries based on quite different criteria. An added complication is the fact that there are major uncertainties about whether the HIV anti-body tests actually work, which has led some scientists to question the fundamental existence of the HIV virus.

The AIDS controversy may be an obscure and perplexing scientific problem, but the politics of AIDS is a reality which affects billions of people all over the world, leading to public policies which, if based on flawed science, may have caused the death of millions by the use of highly toxic chemical treatments.

Nobel Prize winner Luc Montaigner states in the film that AIDS in Africa could be eradicated by improved nutrition and the provision clean drinking water instead of costly and unproven programs of mass medication and vaccination. This approach was also advocated by former president of South Africa, Thabo Mbecki, who was pilloried in the press as an “AIDS Denialist”.

This broadcast is one of the most important we have done at TNRA - please share it around and take a good look into the issues raised.

China, Iran and the new axis of evil

Hereward — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:43:43 +0000

We lead tonight with news that Google is pulling out of China, amid renewed threats from top US military figures against Iran. We analyse these developments with an eye to the bigger picture of geoplitical strategy and note that this is bound to strengthen ties between China and Iran, as the stand-off over Iran’s nuclear capability heightens.

We also bring you an excerpt from Gerald Celente’s trend forecast for 2010.

In the second half we take a look at some Australian stories, including new laws banning alcohol on Australia day, and government bans on “smoko breaks”.

DISCLAIMER - 28 Jan 2010: It has been reported that the above image is not an actual scan image.

TNRA returns to the airwaves with our first show for 2010!

We lead with Obama’s announcement yesterday of new stringent measures to heighten airline security and improve intelligence gathering in relation to terrorist threats. We present this speech in full and attempt to analyse the real agenda behind these moves, including the introduction on a massive scale of invasive technology such as full body scanners (see image above).

In the second half I am joined by Chris Tolland, host of the Radio Skid Row breakfast show in Sydney, to talk about various issues of the day.

Welcome to the Nanny State

Hereward — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:22:23 +0000

Tonight we cover a variety of local and international news stories, with the common theme being the increasing stranglehold of government on every aspect of our lives.

It appears that the new paradigm of government is that the people must be influenced by any any all means to follow the wishes of the rulers, including, but not limited to the use of “behavioural modification” techniques from applied psychology.

We ask the question: is this in any way compatible with a free society?

A climate of change is dawning (we hope)

Hereward — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:46:18 +0000

On 12 December 2009 a group of activists met at Martin Place in Sydney to challenge the irrational, unscientific and anti-democratic agenda of the Walk Against Warming protest march.

On tonight’s show we speak with two of those activists: Bill Koutalianos - a member of the Climate Sceptics Party, and Phil Davis of Truth Movement Australia.

During the show we cover some highlights from the day and discuss strategies for activism, with the aim of improving the way in which we communicate about the problems associated with climate science and social policy.

We also have some video (below) from the protest. The debate with the physicist has provoked some criticism which I believe is justified - this could could have been handled better!

Global Warming Meltdown

Hereward — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:00:12 +0000

Today we turn our piercing laser beam of truth on the facade of anthropogenic climate change - and burn a hole right through it to let you see the inner workings of a corrupted science.

In the first half of the show we run through the latest news in the climate change debate here in Australia and some highlights from the Copenhagen COP15 Conference.

In part 2 we bring you a detailed analysis of a startling story exposing fraudulent manipulation of raw weather data just published on wattsupwiththat.com. This article is of particular interest since it concerns Australia, and because it proves that the corruption of the scientific method in climate science goes far deeper than the “climategate” email scandal would suggest.

The Dam Bursts - Australian media blockade on 9/11 truth broken!

Hereward — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:34:34 +0000

With the publication today of a half page spread in Sydney’s leading broadsheet newspaper, we can finally announce that the eight year blackout on reportage of the worldwide movement for truth and justice known as the 9/11 Truth Movement, has finally ended.

This is a very important day for all of us who have fought to bring this information to light, whether through street activism, blogging, or even just trying to convince our friends and family that this is real and important.

Today there are two stories in the Sydney Morning Herald:

Utzon’s son signs up for September 11 conspiracy theory

Fire, not a government plot, felled third tower

In tonight’s edition of Truth News Radio Australia we discuss these stories with a very courageous hotelier who can justly take some credit for Jan Utzon’s “conversion” to the 9/11 truth movement.

No evidence of explosions ..?

A selection of firefighter and rescue worker statements consistent with explosive demolition:

At that time I started walking back up towards Vesey Street. I heard three explosions, and then we heard like groaning and grinding, and tower two started to come down.
–PARAMEDIC KEVIN DARNOWSKI Date: November 9, 2001

Somewhere around the middle of the world trade center there was this orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode. The popping sound, and with each popping sound it was initially an orange and then red flash came out of the building and then it would just go all around the building on both sides as far as could see. These popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger, going both up and down and then all around the building.
– CAPTAIN KARIN DESHORE Interview Date: Novermber 7, 2001

I looked back. You see three explosions and then the whole thing coming down.
–FIREFIGHTER FRANK CAMPAGNA Interview Date: December 4, 2001

The next thing I know, we heard a little bit of a rumbling, and then white powder came from the first collapsed building. I thought it was an explosion initially. We got hit with the powder. We tried to run. We got hit with the powder. It took a few minutes to clear.
…
After that, I still thought it was an explosion. I thought it was some kind of thermal explosion where I’m either going to get burnt — and I had kind of ideas that it was going to be something like Hiroshima where all this heat was coming at me and we were going to get burnt — or if the heat didn’t burn me, I thought that all the parts coming out of this building, the windows, metal, all the things like that, that I might be severed in half.
–LIEUTENANT GEORGE J. DeSIMONE Interview Date: October 22, 2001

.. for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista, never mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him because I thought — at that time I didn’t know what it was. I mean, it could have been as a result of the building collapsing, things exploding, but I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.

Q. Was that on the lower level of the building or up where the fire was?

A. No, the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That’s what I thought I saw. And I didn’t broach the topic to him, but he asked me. He said I don’t know if I’m crazy, but I just wanted to ask you because you were standing right next to me. He said did you see anything by the building? And I said what do you mean by see anything? He said did you see any flashes? I said, yes, well, I thought it was just me. He said no, I saw them, too.
