UPDATE: "WELCOME HOME, HAYABUSA: Japan's Hayabusa spacecraft returned to Earth today carrying samples of asteroid Itokawa. The sample return capsule parachuted to Earth somewhere in Australia's Woomera Test Range (searchers are looking for it now) while the mothership disintegrated in the atmosphere high above ground. Update: NASA's DC-8 flying laboratory was in the air over Australia to record the reentry. Researchers have just released a must-see video."

A new PM in Oz - mining companies. The biggest exports are to China. In 2009 China surpassed Japan to become Australia's largest export market, with total merchandise exports to China valued at A$42.4 billion, an increase of 31.2 per cent over the previous year. Resources continue to underpin Australia’s exports to China. Australia exported 266.2 million tonnes of iron ore to China in 2009 (A$21.7 billion in value terms), an increase of 45.2 per cent over the same period in 2008. Australia's coal exports to China grew by 1000 per cent last year to become our second largest export commodity, behind iron ore. Over the last 12 months, two further LNG contracts have been signed for the supply of Australian gas to Chinese terminals. The future prospects for continued growth in our resources exports to China are good. www.china.embassy.gov.au/bjng/relations2.htmlHayabusa asteroid capsule opening gets under way Thursday, 24 June 2010 15:31 The canister, which returned to Earth on 13 June, is being worked on at the Japanese space agency's (Jaxa) Sagamihara Campus in Kanagawa... Researchers said they had already detected a trace gas in the capsule but had yet to identify it. "We still don't know exactly what kind of gas it is, but the researchers confirmed a trace of low-pressured gas in the capsule," a Jaxa official told AFP. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10406531.stm

Banned plants 9 March 2011 What's growing in your garden? The Federal Government wants to expand the list of prohibited plants listed in the Drug Act to include among others all Angel's Trumpets, many common cacti and many native and exotic wattles. Is this necessary to fight drug trafficking and manufacture? Or will these laws make criminals out of nurseries, gardeners and botanic collectors? Angel's Trumpet: are one of the plants facing eradication. www.abc.net.au/rn/australiatalks/stories/2011/3145864.htm

Henry Kissinger: War Criminal or Old-Fashioned Murderer? - Welcome to the "Henry Kissinger: Unindicted Terrorist" file! ... Incredibly, Henry Kissinger—the man who rivals Pol Pot for the dubious honor of being the person responsible for the death of the largest number of innocent people in South East Asia (and far surpasses Pol Pot in criminality when one factors in Kissinger's various levels of responsibility for wholesale slaughter and repression in other parts of the world)—still wields significant power in the United States; but his role as eager facilitator of mass murder, totalitarian repression and other atrocities is never discussed in polite society. www.zpub.com/un/wanted-hkiss.htmlParticularly: The murder victim is General Rene Schneider, who was the Commander in Chief of the Chilean Army. General Schneider was known as an officer committed to upholding the Chilean constitution and therefore opposed to the rumored incipient coup against newly elected Socialist President Salvador Allende by a right wing would-be junta of current and former Chilean military officers.

Globalists' Australian Nexus July 5, 2011 Meet the Lowy Institute. Filled with big business interests and perhaps the most degenerate, depraved minds humanity has yet produced, it poses as an "independent international policy think tank," whose objective is to "generate new ideas and dialogue on international developments and Australia’s role in the world." The word "independent" is somewhat confusing, but what is clear is that it is yet another Fortune 500 run policy and propaganda clearinghouse serving not Australia, but rather the global corporate-financier elite. www.blacklistednews.com/Globalists%27_Australian_Nexus/14526/0/0/0/Y/M.html

Declassified United States government documents leave little doubt that the secret and illegal bombing of then neutral Cambodia by President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger between 1969 and 1973 caused such widespread death and devastation that it was critical in Pol Pot's drive for power. "They are using damage caused by B52 strikes as the main theme of their propaganda," the CIA director of operations reported on 2 May 1973. "This approach has resulted in the successful recruitment of young men. Residents say the propaganda campaign has been effective with refugees in areas that have been subject to B52 strikes." In dropping the equivalent of five Hiroshimas on a peasant society, Nixon and Kissinger killed an estimated half a million people. Year Zero began, in effect, with them; the bombing was a catalyst for the rise of a small sectarian group, the Khmer Rouge, whose combination of Maoism and medievalism had no popular base. www.converge.org.nz/pma/arthat.htm
