Israeli Videos History

At Israeli-Weapons.com there is a great video section on the history of Israel's conflicts. All I can say is, wow!

Lead To Be Exported Through Fremantle: Courtesy Your Friendly Local Labor Government

Not even Sodium Cyanide goes through Fremantle! As a former freight train-locomotive driver I have vast experience in the logistics of the transport of dangerous goods, and the danger posed to the local community through the lack of monitoring by a 'rail regulator'. Not only this, but privatized railways have been allowed to get away with murder since there inception in this country. Capitalism and privatization are not wrong, the companies just need to be policed like anyone else, and they are not 'above the law' like some people want them to be, or paid to make them be.
I guess the railways who have had made massive breaches have not been fined. I reported Australian Railroad Group for a flange that was totally broken (it was so sharp and it was being used on mainline 110 km/hr dangerous goods trains) to the 'rail regulator', but the only action taken was a 24 hour order to measure their flanges.
The problem is like anything else, we are being too soft. If we had sufficient deterrents in place this kind of absolute negligence would not happen.
I have also written to the Labor Politicians concerning the approach to tail lights on trains by the same company, yet these 'Politicians' do not wish to do anything unless they are 'forced' to. Unfortunately most Politicians are University qualified and have no idea what really goes on.
Lead needs to be transported in pellet form (like Nickel) and should not be allowed to be moved in a powdered form. Of course, you can trust Labor to put people's lives at risk, especially on the day when the Liberal Party has their most dark and dramatic day in history in WA.

WA Liberals Still Out of Touch

Mr Buswell was elected leader of the Opposition by the Liberals in State Parliament. There is alot of derision within the party and if there is to be a competitive Opposition, it is going to need some excellent policies with a great leader and remain supportive of one another(all 3 of these requirements are currently out the door). Many here On the West Coast of Australia didn't approve (they dislike him!) of Troy Buswell. But Mr Johnson of Hillarys has extensive support. He is very popular with the voting bloc and if he or someone else I cannot name yet, becomes the new Opposition Leader, there will most probably be a change of Government at the next election. For one, Buswell seems a fool and is not a people's man. Mr Johnson on the other hand has experience, extensive wisdom, good leadership skills, is well liked, and is competent at speaking out against the current Labor State Government. Unlike the Buswell side, we see Mr Johnson and his side really opposing the daftness of the stupidity of the Labor Government. But Alan Carpentar is not going to be easily beaten. So the WA Liberals are in dreamland if they think Buswell is a good choice. They are in dreamland, and they obviously give preference to internal politics instead of the main battle.

Mr Johnson highlights the misdemeanors of those in Government. He also has the skills necessary and the tough approach to law and order (in favor of capital punishment) to get huge support of the voting public behind him. More to come on this topic. Trevor Sprigg's death was not in vain, I hope.

China's Cold War on USA

The Chinese are not the 'detente' type. They are pushing the US to a confrontation. Since 2001 we have witnessed fighter jets harrassing US aircraft.
Here explains more.

Western Australian Liberals Dramatic Dark Day in History

I clearly doubt the WA Liberals have an idea of what the community is saying. It's internal politics is ruining everything and I while Mr Sprigg died at almost exactly the same time as the scheduled time for the vote on the leadership, I believe it is a sign from God that we need some integral leaders. Rob Johnson has my support, but, I believe another man with more charisma and the ability to get into the issue (not like Buswell) will do it. I know him and will hopefully lay out the reasons (most of what the community feels) on why and how the State election can be won by the Liberals. The Liberals respect him and will have to take direction from him in order to stay focused and stable. I won't mention any more than that, except to say that Mr Sprigg's death was a clear sign that I needed to act because it indicates that we will pay dearly for 4 more years of Labor in WA. Under Richard Court we were doing well. Then we got the likes of Dorazio who was softening the laws on driving without a licence (that is no jail time) and driving without a licence at the same time. Not many people actually clicked on that one.
This guy was Police Minister, and he was making the law for himself. No wonder we are seeing a scattering of the Police (used up by babysitting for drunk Aboriginals in country towns--courtesy of the taxpayer and Socialist Australia).
All I can say is if you think graffiti is a criminal problem now, and this Government has no effective way to deal with them due to their leftist 'relativism', then we will see much worse in the 4 years.
We live in a great state, don't let your socialist views project crime onto the stage as it happened in New York City, where it needed to be cleaned up.
Let's build a 5000 person prison. Lets get tough on criminals. Why? Because it is right, that is why.
I believe the reason for the mess is that the Liberals didn't choose the right leader. This man died 'on the way' as his main supporter, but I suspect it is a sign from Heaven.

Union Totalitarianism Let Loose in Australia Once Again

The Liberals were right. John Howard was right. (Wall to wall Labor, Unions running the show)
With a Rudd Labor Government (and all Labor State Governments) who could have guessed Unions are already dictating Government policy. The Labor representatives are (a lot of them) ex-Unionists, and some of them remain members.
Now the student Union movement wishes to unfairly gain power over others by forcing them to become members, again. Under John Howard this policy was removed, so student unions were voluntary. Why should it be compulsory? There is no choice in that......

So you Would like to be a Pilot?

Well there are several free flight simulators available to the PC over several operating systems, like Windows and Linux. One of them which is not free, Microsoft's Flight Simulator (there are many versions, the latest being FSX which I do not have), is a popular format, but unfortunately does not include much flexibility for military type operations in its engine.
But civil air operations are simulated well with many, many payware products available. Teach your son and daughter how to fly a 400 tonne Boeing 747 (or like me get behind the yoke on the massive Twin engined 777, which was co-designed by Qantas pilots) with the payware (and several freeware like Ifly 747 available at Avsim) simulating the navigation systems and flight computers which must be pre-programmed before pushback.
Flight Simulation has reached new heights, it is so real compared to the first flight simulator ever released by Microsoft. Flying isn't so hard if you know what you are doing. The real work comes in to knowing the aircraft you are flying and navigating it (by using the FMC-Flight Management Computer). Quite often pilots with little or no Instrument Flying Qualifications end up dead because they flew into cloud or bad weather, or worse, night time, when they shouldn't. Airmanship involves discipline which is a major factor in safety for aviation. The pilots with bad discipline are always on radar, and often end up dead or with huge investigations over their heads.
A Cathay Pacific pilot once said to me (I have experienced the same shift work these guys are subjected to) they wouldn't dare recommend this type of work to their children. Not only the shift work, but the family life, and the extreme responsibility which is needed for a top airline like Cathay, is very tiring and if a pilot attains more than 20 years service with such an airline, I would be very surprised. Only the young, bright and sharp, ex-Air Force pilots (Canada, British, Australian and American) are able to handle the extreme demands of life as a pilot in the airline industry with Cathay.
I regard Cathay as the best airline (with Emirates, Singapore and Qantas coming 2nd) in the world, but to be the best sacrifices are always necessary.......

Visit Avsim for interesting simulation experience in Microsoft's simulation.
