President Obamas Islamic Republic of Iran Frozen Fruit Attempt

A little bit about these lands for informative knowledge, Islamic Republic of Iran’s official language is Persian. It’s a geographic location known by archeologists to site vast numbers of cultural remains of the Neanderthal man, dating back to the lower paleolithic era, including continual findings of stone tools.

Islamic Republic of Iran is a nation that’s rebuilding its economy via export dealings with a number of international partners such as Turkey, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, South Africa, Armenia, Oman, Nigeria, Syria and Iraq, Armenia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, China and Russia.

Iran’s main exports consist of equipment related to water and power industries, electricity exchanges and fuel.

For the purpose of rehash the United States is the current appointed nation as head of global security for the United Nations that operates internationally to serve for the purpose of peace and natural security.

In recent events US President Obama sign a declaration to have Iran’s financial institutes and assets frozen that are situated within America, to hinder the nation’s ability to spend. This was without the backing of all members of the UN.

President Obama’s reasoning in statement was “Iran has chosen the path of international isolation” and that “the United States will continue to find ways, both in concert with our partners and through our own actions to isolate and increase the pressure upon the Iranian regime.”

I put this question forward: Where do you get the notion of having the legal power to freeze finance of a nation, that has abided by its IAEA Treaty; not conducting terrorism acts that threatens innocent lives; not having declared a world war; not committed illegal acts and never been found guilty of producing nuclear weapons grade enrichment uranium?

The last inspection by IAEA of Islamic Republic of Iran was in November 2011 consisting of a physical inventory inspection.

IAEA recorded and tested at such times, including previous times that Iran produced natural uranium in form of UO², 1 rod for research & non explosive testing, but generally produces low enriched uranium as little as 3.34% to a maximum of 20% enrichment, scaling three quarters of production to be under 6%, which is not even near enrichment grade levels required for nuclear weapons grade material.

The Agreement between Iran and the Agency for the Application of Safeguards in Connection with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (INFCIRC/214), which entered into force on 15 May 1974.

Under the Safeguards Agreement, Iran has declared to the agency 15 nuclear power reactor and fuel fabrication equipped facilities with an additional nine locations where nuclear material is customarily used (LOFs). LOFs are situated within hospitals.

If Iran needed high grade uranium, rather than having the need to produce it themselves, they could simply trade for such with Russia or China that specialise.

The UN member’s board needs to review the standing of global security allocation, in relation to conduct of foreign affairs for the purpose of security matters.

Paranoid confliction by US President Obama against Islamic Republic of Iran is premature in its current status of safeguard agreement affairs.

Budget Surplus Promise Not So Promising For Our Future

Image

Julia Gillard promise of a surplus, is a premature promise on ethical business approach.

Labor’s recent ‘Carbon tax’ introductions for farming, energy and fuel, with further tax to be introduced on the 1 July 2012, in the form of ‘Rent tax’ for petroleum and mining.

We’re in the business of maintaining jobs via encouragement of continual investment, allowing organisations such as these to flourish for good return on investment, via national and state revenue produced.

In choking such industries with continual taxing for the purpose of making ends meet, to cater for additional implementations of infrastructure that our government has introduced, puts pressure via variables of outcome, with further development, jobs and projects being put on hold .

Sure a little tax does not hurt for environment investment of technologies in the areas of energy and fuel sources, but this is premeditated overkill.

Already Wayne Swan’s NBN project investment has blown out to dramatic proportions in cost, because of lack in knowledge and skill to correctly calculate a national implementation and resource quote.

Labor continually makes comment on innovative research and promotion of new tech and approach to combat carbon emissions, yet Wayne Swan has aside very little in calculation for national project investment, in terms of backing such.

Automotive industry is important to Australia with an historic commitment via Holden, continually glowing globally, with proven track records, as a quality producer of automotive design and engineering, an investment asset in which we must back for future growth.

This is ever so more important with Toyota’s continual financial lost and Mitsubishi relocating back to head quarters production, outlining the struggle to maintain good investment locally as well as jobs.

Over all for a Keating government approach Julia Gillard and Co. have achieved consistency in likeness of operating a government blueprint of their party.

Poc Liberty & United Australia feel that such contributions made by labor, makes change a strangling affair, in the diplomatic approach of realigning for correctness.

Bad management in turn makes the future of government, a setting ground for real political wars to come.

Bad business makes it difficult for good business to emerge, without re-setting what’s already in place.

Get Paid As Much On The Pension As Working – Julia Gillard is Paying

 

More money gifts for pensioners, no gifts for workers, but a little extra tax cuts on our return at the end of the financial year.

This government shows that working as a low income earner maybe a waste of effort, that you might as well give-up and join the pension cue at any age receiving $761est for singles and $709est each as for couple per fortnight.

It’s obvious that people are doing just that, people capable for looking or re-entering the workforce, finding ways to make it on the books making for an early retirement.

Julia Gillard feels that her government is great in delivering all the money they have sucked out of tax on carbon emissions, just to pass-it-on.

Julia is a great lawyer, but need some lessons in approach to business enterprising; you’re a child in comparison.

No business in their right mind would return A$5.7b out of A$5.75b p.a. CO2‑e tax revenue charged at A$23.00 per tonne back to the public without prior investment.

On top the labor party have obligated to assistance for farmers in the way of analysts research and marketing promotion of A$2m p.a. for cleaner energy and biodiversity.

This statement above shows that investing to innovative measures to cleaner energy/environment comes second to brownnosing her voters.

The labor party boast about cutting 159million tonnes a year of carbon pollution from the atmosphere, hence losing A$3657million a year in tax revenue.

This would mean that with the increases and gifts commitment too via investment this year, would push this nation into a debt or would it?

Of course being a high risk adventure party, your finance bank is weighing-in on floating carbon taxes at market prices from 1 July 2015, with the presumption of a bigger revenue return. Oh so cleaver if you had a guarantee.

Keep spending every cent; keep adding more taxes to counter act annual costs, so we can be the most expensive nation in the universe, rather than just the earth.

All your expenditure weights on continual looping of tax revenue, rather than new business. There is no safety net like a real business, nor one in mind.

We understand that you’re an ex-lawyer, schooled at oxford university, with little work force understanding when it comes to business day to day operations, but rather the industry framework, yet with statements such as 1 million Australia’s won’t have to put in a tax return, reclaiming expenses accrued or taxes owed you feel is some sort of bonus.

Maybe it saves the nation money if we don’t reclaim Julia!

Trackback Labor – Qld State Election 24 March 2012

The poc suggests not voting for a party name, but to take time in researching and listening to what MPs in competition have to offer.

Our economy is not stronger because of the ‘Australian Labor Party’s’, it is because of you the consumers; you the investors in your nation with the addition of the US dollar declining in value since 2007.

I don’t agree with Premier Anna Bligh’s comments on backing Labor this election, yet we would be more than happy for Anna to remain as premier of Queensland.

Trackback show logically the current governments approach is not that different to when MP Paul Keating held office from 20 December 1991 to 24 March 1993.

Over speeding; unnecessary additions to divisions implemented with additional pa costs to national revenue without return; higher taxes; financial debt owing; higher costs of living; hospitals and research funding cutbacks etc.

Labor has a PM that wet-nurses her MPs during question time in the upper house of the ‘house of representatives’, by answering questions that should be directed to MPs themselves.

This maybe because she lacks in leadership confidence with her own staff members, not making her political grade.

Contributing to this party is a treasurer that can’t even calculate his own websites figures correctly let alone create revenue that’s not a taxes, not a Costello is he.

Most important of all is that such current governments don’t hear what you are saying as citizens that take preference on relying on outsourced avenues for advice showing, lack of confidence in decision making via over compensating.

The ‘Poc Party’ however will not be running for these up & coming elections, whereas we will be running for next federal election Gold coast seat etc with every intension of winning.

Gold Coast Main Roads – A Ruth Contractors

Our council need some examination on their approach including cost accumulated with road work upgrades locally on the Gold coast.

$107 million was provided in the 2010-11 to 2013-14 Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program as well as funding contributions from Gold Coast City Council and TransLink.

For some-time now it is noticeable that quality of workmanship on our local road upgrades including maintenance are somewhat not of standards we are accustomed too.

All too often are our local main roads are showing ware and tear, with potholes appearing for long periods without maintenance done on surfers paradise blvd etc.

The gold coast highway between Aubrey St, Surfers Paradise and Australia Av, Broadbeach mere observation show these contractors seem to be approaching this work with patches in parts the long more costly approach, rather than cutting sections, gridding and repouring evenly

Areas that have had work are not even, a constant ware on vehicle shocks, drainage centred on the highway through this area that has recently been relayed have been raised.

Why would you raise the drains on a multi lane highway, when these are located on one lane edging another?

This is dangerous in good or bad weather for road safety, as drivers maybe distracted by the sudden shift of the lane in transit, in turn resulting in accidents or even a fatality.

This project looks somewhat of one complete screw-up along this stretch with the contractors responsible to be re- assessed, before such upgrades have a budget blow-out contributed too with a redo.

The council are obviously not supervising these projects close enough, showing lack in good council business management of public funding for local road maintenance.

A Disrespectful Australian Government

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is having her 60th anniversary on throne, with celebrations starting on 2 February worldwide by sovereign states of her empire.

In remembrance: The ‘British Empire’ settled over 1 quarter of the world, with continual commitment to the people of each nation, in-growth and eventually given independence, once matured enough to support themselves.

Australia is a commonwealth nation, still a member of the ‘British Empire’ under our national governor general’s watchful eye on behalf of ‘Her Majesty The Queen’.

All citizens other than natives of this nation respect the queen and empire for its achievements over the decades, still loyal servants to date.

The last diamond jubilee was ‘Queen Victoria’ in 1897 celebrated throughout Australia and the ‘British Empire’ with commemorative medals produced.

So what’s different about this celebration to any other you might ask, well just that your labor government under Julia Gillard born in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales feels that Australia’s own metals of honour supersedes those of the Queens.

PM Julia Gillard and her Labor party feel that the Jubilee Medals should not be included in Australia’s celebrations for reasons of their own.

Those reasons maybe brown nosing reasons to suck up to native aboriginals, using this as points gaining exercise.

Well Julia Gillard you are wrong, you get no points for not acknowledging the queen’s anniversary, you and your crew of manipulating MPs and federal health and aging minister ‘Rixon’ are only working together for your own ambitions, not our nations.

You did not ask your people, nor know your people, on how they would like to respectfully celebrate their Queens anniversary.

You disrespect the queen; you disrespect our defence; you disrespect our seniors and our dead of past wars, but most of all to disrespect servants of ‘Her Majesty The Queen’.

Step down Gillard; if you have no respect, you have no right nor reason to be employed by the people under the commonwealth of Australia, denying your heritage is disgraceful.

Natives to our land are just as welcome to celebrate our queen, yet have no obligation to do so and we will support them anyway, but you and your flock of sheep do have a requirement.

As an education lesson for the ex education minister – To servants the biggest honour is that of awarded medals of the empire, not our own nations achievement awards.

Maybe you need further consultation with your partner Timothy Raymond Mathieson made one of the government’s men’s health ambassadors by Minister of health and Aging, Nicola Roxon, on what servants are and what it means to be a leader for the people and their heritage.

You don’t support public opinions; you support your agenda and work in your tight brown-nosing group to force such additions with or without the public approval.

We all respect the Queen as servants and pay tribute in statement regularly.

Surfers Paradise Attacked & Terrorized from Above

2012 has just come around the corner, already we at under siege by flights above, in ‘Surfers Paradise’ on the Gold Coast.

Already numbers of holiday makers passing and staying at Watermark hotel located on Surfers paradise blvd have been attacked and injured by these predators.

Members of public have commented on being physically scratched, pocked in the eye, even pierced by the weapons attached to these tourists.

It’s been over a week now with more and more attacks becoming common, people running for entrances of hotels and restaurants located nearby for safety.

Gold Coast parks and wild life have not looked at relocating these fierce creatures from the area, No consideration for public safety or public health have been met.

These birds could be passing on viruses from one member of public to another via scratches and piercing of the skin or even diseases.

The council Mayor Ron Clarke has not authorised any action to be taken up to this date 5th.01.2012, a liability for public safety on the Gold Coast.

This is a high density area for tourism with the Q1 directly opposite the Watermark hotel, family environments at the mercy of these knife wilding creatures.

Magpies are a protected bird that during breeding seasons attack humans passing by their nest areas during breeding season.

This has not happened, it’s school holidays and it’s dangerous for these birds with claws as sharp as knifes that pierce skin without difficulty and they are attacking people’s faces.

If people get hurt when councils protect them, this means they take on the responsibility if injury accrues to visitors and citizens, liability suits of injury in a public place is theirs.

I think this is disgusting such problems have not been dealt with knowing this is a major holiday season for the gold coast shame on you gold coast council and your wild life division.

These are not birds that should be protected and such amendments will be made in the future by a modern party as the public and their safety comes first, who should have the right to defend themselves.

Antarctica Capture & Retrieve

Australian vessels based, Sea Shepherd has another mission of convenience set for their usual target ‘Antarctic Waters’. Sea Shepherd have declared 88 crew members and 3 vessels of their own ‘total fleet’, to be sent out on mission code named ‘Devine Wind’ ディバイン ウインド part of their ‘Antarctic Whale Defence Campaign’ banner.

As usual S.S are asking for support to back them up, possibly outside whale sanctuary’s, that maybe heard only by MV Arctic Sunrise of ‘Green Peace’ to compete with ICRs two fleets capable research project.

 As ‘ICR International’ fishes for research within waters closer to the Antarctica’s circle, this of cause by international laws of Antarctica would be out of range of S.S & Co vessels, allowed only within sanctuaries but as are not on a mission of research or transport, would be illegally navigating elsewhere.

In remembrance in 1980 The IWC at its meeting in Brighton, United Kingdom, assigns high-level protection to two Canadian Government delegates after being threatened that they would be killed, for voting against a moratorium on sperm whales.

July 10, 1985 ‘The Rainbow Warrior’ was sunken at port by suspected intelligence via a bomb place onboard, rather than the optional choice (public speculation at time) of being torpedoed, undetected in deep seas.

Such resources were not available to these divisions and of cause that would have meant jamming communications, not to mention disposing of other vessels of similar nature nearby.

Today day however we spend billions internationally on security and anti piracy for international/national shipping routes and borders alike.

With laws in place via UN and nations, ships have the right to defend them self’s or request nations navy defence of local waters to intervene, board and capture terrorists and/or pirates on continual navigational approach or interception and attack.

If however you did have security ships protecting your own national citizens on the high seas, then of cause chasing across borders in continuous pursuit of pirates or terrorists to capture, interrogate and transport vessel including crews back to your own mainland for legal justice under international laws is well within legal right, without reprisal of local navy or custom vessels under maritime laws.

Antarctic waters too, are a dangerous place and hazardous to say the least, for fishermen, as we have seen on high sea crab hunting season shows. If at such times concentration was misplaced during operation via interference this could be a contribution in harm or loss of life within an instant.

Truly I am amazed about the support given by certain high profile celebrities’ in verb, including past or present financial support via extravagant businessman such as entrepreneur Steve Wynn, television personality Bob Barker, and John Paul DeJoria, as well as other celebrities such as Martin Sheen, Darryl Hannah, and Richard Dean Anderson have joined the protests.

Actors including Edward Norton, Pierce Brosnan, Christian Bale, and Emily Deschanel have supported through financial contributions commitment to saving whales via a newly international categorized eco terrorist group with militant/military tactical approaches S.S against a single nation. The only nation that catches whales registered on International whaling commission (IWC) membership list.

It is a shame however that Iceland and Norway (looking at increasing another 30% 2011/2012) catch allot of whales annually, even maybe the sacred royalty of the sea ‘The Killer whale’ (orca) or not.

In final: Since 1986 – current, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has been officially banned from attending any International Whaling Commission (IWC) annual meetings.

No one is really interest nor tends to listen to S.S reasoning, nor will they gain respect by first world super powers, let alone the commission on whaling, because they have no real knowledge or credentials in the field of science and research of sea life.

Maya Doomsday Prediction 2012

Maya was a self made and self contained culture derived from many cultures prior too from surrounding lands, with their closes ancestors being that of the Inca.

     The ‘Maya’ culture established themselves within the jungles of northern subcontinent of the ‘Americas’, today know as Mexico.

     Over time we have come to know that these civilisations were some of the first modern settlements to approach and establish modern architecture through design that included buildings, temples and pyramids via brick design much simular to today’s building bricks used in housing.

     These cultures introduced writing and associated resources, art, and variations of colour; best known for their level of sophistication in mathematical equations and astronomy.

     Being a culture like many other cultures throughout the world in history, they operated and developed their civilisation focusing their cultural order via dedication and study of the heavens and time.

     The ‘Maya’ used comprehensive study of night skies, much the same as we do today using astrology for the purpose of predictions, change of seasonal cycles and solar calendar.

     By erecting stone pyramid sun dials the ‘Maya’ could crosscheck and guaranteed with accuracy predictions thence associated it with time of farming including civil strength for a prolonged culture.

     The ‘Maya’ doomsday prediction was produced via a mechanical calendar used for recording eclipses via solar cycles.

     To the ‘Maya’ this prediction meant that human existence was to come to an end at exactly this point of time, others would speculate this to be an adjustment in cycle to that of a B’ak’tun.

     But viewing these facts and predictions the reality is that there will be a prolonged event ending on the 23 December 2012 depending on world ‘GMT’ location.

     As this prediction does not coincide with that of our ‘Earth’s cycle’, it is more accurate to realign this prediction with that of a major solar-flare, striking the earth.

     As the sun is infused and would build momentum, the possibility of a repeated assault would not be a far-cry from the truth.

     This prolonged period I would determine to be within the same week duration of the time allocated via the ‘Maya’.

     As the location of such an assault cannot be predicted with earth movement, steps during this period should be made anywhere.

     Humans cannot withstand a solar-flare strike because of our body composition, in-turn we would disintegrate in its passing.

     However certain countries have for other purposes have designed deep below the earth facilities to house thousands of people in the event of a crisis and/or research, which would be optimal during this period.

     Solar-flares only strike the earth and everything located on it within the general geography; buildings and shelters are not shields that can protect our human bodies from such an impact.

     Awareness and preparation for this week is a good step to better the outcome rather than maximising the demise part of or in full, the world’s general population.

Queensland Motorways Tolls & Charges

The ‘Queensland Motorways’ and ‘Queensland State Government’ strike again, in addition to ‘nappy wrapping’ you in safety bubbles via continual speed variations on motorways, highways and road works during hours not that of early morning hours continually causing potential hazard risks to drivers as well as vehicle stress via stop starts, our government now feel it’s okay to charge additional charges for the privilege of using our bridges without our acknowledgment.

     Recently I received a Tax invoice via ‘Queensland Motorways’ for the ‘Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges’ previously known as the ‘Gateway Bridges’, to my surprise I am already ‘OVERDUE’ in payment for my adventure.

     This being the first time in 5 years I have travelled this route since toll booths were replaced by the electronic system, I was unaware that booths were even replaced having my coins already to pass through on the way to a client.

     Obviously I did however take note of the signs heading up, the first being ‘Toll Ahead’ and ‘Toll Bridge’ or ‘Toll Road’ numerous times attached to various signs and a new sign I had not notice before on the bridge it’s self, stating ‘Pay Your Toll’ with ‘1300 046 842′ ‘www.govia.com.au’ below this statement, my thought is ?.

     Speaking of which govia’s mapping to calculate toll costs is useless for travelers that exit 31-Logan Motorway off M1 with no entry points indicated on map and no exit point Warrego Hwy options if headed such directions. How many Tolls do you pass 1, 2 or 3 this is anyone’s guess.

     This is another ’State Gov Revenue’ paid website not 100% operational/logically functional; [13 Pacific Hwy] of cause is exit 31 that should be indicated as so and [1 Ipswich Hwy] is the direction headed, calculated at $4.84 plus $0.42 video caption 24.09.2011.

     Having a pen and paper at the helm already to write this information down while passing the sign at 80kms/h is the assumption by Queensland Motorways, but NO! I don’t, as a safe driver, I do not tend to write information on the go ‘WHILE DRIVING’, just like not using a mobile without hands-free, get it!

     What I am doing is following my GPS to find my way to a client I have never meet before to complete a job of high service and experience.

     It is obvious that ‘Queensland Motorways’ don’t think things through very well at all for that matter, not only am I expected to remember such web addresses, I am suppose to know what it means, just like a traveler passing through.

     ‘Queensland Motorways’ expect people to memorize it or write it down, as if it means something to a first time electronic toll bridge driver and then run off to the internet to look it all up, assuming we have the internet.

     Common sense would indicate that no-one knows what you are on about; all we know is there is no longer ‘Toll booths’, a sign with information that means little and that we must receive a payment invoice in the mail, no questions asked.

Legal Liabilities,

 1. Queensland Motorways encourages drivers to write down govia.com.au stated on signs while driving is a  breach of driver and road safety, not to mention confusion may result in drivers lacking in focus of what’s beside or ahead of them in doing so.

 2. Queensland Motorways is sending an ‘OVERDUE TOLL NOTICE’ and ‘Tax Invoice’ prior to sending a ‘PAYMENT DUE’ notice; why because they don’t send prior notice and general bills are 30 days payable not instantly overdue after 3 days. (No you have 3 days to pay is indicated on any signage)

 3. Queensland Motorways adds an additional ‘Admin fee, and unpaid account’ $7.46 cost accrued, this is extorting the public and fraudulent billing without prior acknowledgment, for starters we don’t have an account and unaware we did, nor were aware we needed to sign up for one, so who’s account is unpaid or overdue?

 4. Queensland Motorways at no time up to the date of 23.09.2011 to my knowledge has indicated such fees of a video charge $0.42 or such fees any ware throughout these tolls while passing in transit.

     How much did it cost me for a return trip over the ‘Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges’ well the ‘Toll’ was $3.99 each way, plus video fee $0.42 each way and Admin fee, unpaid account $7.46, the total for a first time electronic toll bridge driver $16.28.

My Response:

     Reading through the terms and conditions as of the 23.09.2011 on the govia.com.au website, I note reference is made continually that all terms and conditions are binding and directly in relation to an account holder and that making use of these tolls you agree to such terms and charges, yet no terms are stated nor outlined on entry or exit to these roads for non account holders.

     I was not in Brisbane at the time this electronic system was installed, nor was any traveller from any other country or state.

     I’m unaware of such terms and conditions on travelling these tolls for the first time nor aware of any additional cost involved including admin, video and late fees accrued without notice, also not visually stated up to 22.09.2011.

     I hereby have not sighted; acknowledged the existence of; nor stated any agreement to such charges or terms and conditions prior to such billing, as obviously I am unaware of the operation of the system.

     I feel a ‘class action lawsuit’ is viable in such instances against ‘Queensland Motorways’ no matter ‘void of liability’ stated in the ‘terms and conditions’ under 12.8.1, for reasoning to fraudulent billing and forcefully binding vehicle owners to an account not mutually agreed apone without acknowledgement of process and overall conditions.

Below is the table breakdown from www.govia.com.au

New Gateway, Logan and Gateway Extension motorway tolls from 1 July 2011

Toll point Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4
Murarrie $1.93→$2.00 $3.85→$3.99 $5.78→$5.99 $10.20→$10.57
Kuraby $1.14→$1.18 $2.27→$2.35 $3.41→$3.53 $6.02→$6.24
Loganlea $0.73→$0.76 $1.46→$1.51 $2.19→$2.27 $3.87→$4.01
Heathwood/Paradise Road $1.20→$1.24 $2.40→$2.49 $3.60→$3.73 $6.36→$6.59

 

New fees and charges

Fees and charges New charges from 1 July 2011
Video Matching Fee $0.41→$0.42
Retail Service Fee (passes) $1.03→$1.07
Unpaid TollNotice Fee $7.20→$7.46
Demand Notice Fee $20.58→$21.32
Manual Top-up Fee (accounts) $1.03→$1.07
Requested Statement Fee $3.09→$3.20
Tag Non-return Fee $41.16→$42.63

 

In Final: statement is made that these terms and conditions are governed by the law of Queensland State Government, but who’s idea was it to remove the toll booths anyhow; who’s the champion to support toll increases that use to be only $2.20 one way, now $3.99 each way plus additional charges such as tags, rentals, video costs etc.
