GOOGLE AND MOZILLA - TWO ENORMOUS ORGANISATIONS AND NO HELP FROM EITHER!

Google owns this site and also controls most of the search engine done on my web pages.

In order to verify that I control my own web pages, I need to do some verification process controlled by Google.

Having followed their instructions to the letter, their response is that they are unable to verify my sites because they are unable to detect their own code site sent to me to use for verification!

This could be defined as going around in circles and disappearing up one's own fundamental orifice!

Mozilla has an email programme called thunderbird. Thunderbird gets updated from time to time. In some recent updates certain items were left out of an update but are supposedly available through a programme called add-on. The folder add-ons columns are available in linux, and I managed to download them, but as for installing them on my thunderbird installed programme, impossible!

Help from Google and Mozilla?

Impossible!

I have been trying for weeks but have not succeeded, and unfortunately not enough people look at this blog and post any comments, so I am wasting my time.

How do you verify your own web pages?

How do you install an add-on which won't install?

SEEMS TO BE BIG HOAX BY MAD ZIONISTS: AUSTRALIANS TO BOYCOTT ARAB AND IRANIAN GOODS?

 The following item arrived today by email. Since then I have been trying to get my mind around who these people are and what they are aiming at.

I have been around for a long time and during a great deal of that time I have been involved in political activities and reading a great deal about the politics of Israel and the middle east and all the Arab countries in the region.

Maybe I have never understood anything of what is going on in Palestine and Israel and the countries involved in the control of the areas in the region.

I am at a loss to understand what this boycott is about and why it has been thought by the people and groups involved that they will have any success with such a boycott. For starters it is Arab oil which keeps the world of commerce and industry going everywhere. Continuing thought lines from the flow of oil to the countries who use most of it or a great deal of it, surely no boycott of Arab countries and Iran will make any difference without including Israel and the United States in a proposed boycott and these two countries are hardly mentioned in the article.

I simply fail to understand what this is all about and I hope in the next few days that I will be enlightened by media releases and/or other article talking about the issues and countries involved in the proposal.

.......and a short while ago I found this and I am now wondering if this is all a hoax!!:

Anti-Israel Australian Jews now call for a Boycott of Iran and much of the Arab world

November 16, 2012 – 10:09 am49 Comments

This was published in Galus Australis and is two years old!

No more Iranian dates for the protagonists?

A press release received this week that readers might find amusing:

A new boycott campaign against the Arab world and Iran that will require the cooperation of every supporter of Middle East freedom has been launched by a group of outspoken Australian Jews, it was announced today by its prominent founder Antony Loewenstein, the well-known writer and peace activist.

“It is high time we exposed the crimes against humanity committed by the modern pharoahs of the Muslim Middle East.  Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Col. Moammar Gaddafi of Libya, who both enslaved their long-suffering peoples with 30-year dictatorships that are unprecedented in modern history, have now been ousted but reactionary regimes have taken power in their stead.  Meanwhile Algeria,  Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan are being ruled by  fascist thugs and usurpers who are massacring their own people ,” Loewenstein stated.

Speaking to hundreds of Muslim Australians in front of the Syrian Embassy, Loewenstein excoriated the Arab and Iranian regimes for plundering their countries of their wealth and depriving their people of their basic human rights. He particularly upbraided Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Bahrain and Iran for their entrenched system of apartheid against their Copt, Shia,Sunni, Christian and Kurd populations.

He also denounced the thousands of civilians recently bludgeoned and shot to death by the Arab and Iranian security forces in the streets of Homs, Cairo, Alexandria, Beirut, Teheran, Idlip, Manama, Damascus, Amman, Jeddah, Gaza City, Taiz and Sanaa.

“It is simply incomprehensible that these bloodthirsty governments are committing genocide against their own people,” he emphasized.

As a consequence, his new organization — Jews for Boycotting Arab and Iranian Goods (JBAIG) — will be demanding that all UN Human Rights Council members immediately cease buying petroleum, petrochemicals, plastics, cotton yarn and garments, rugs, fertilisers, majhool dates, figs, and sheet metal from these countries. In addition, all Australian firms with investments and joint ventures in these tyrannies will be pressured to divest their assets from them. Of greater import is our campaign for the Commonwealth government to halt its arms and high technology shipments to the Nazi-like governments of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

“We are confident that the international community – and particularly the Australian public – are prepared to support our initiative until the vicious dictatorships of the Arab Middle East and Iran are overthrown and their civilian populations are finally endowed with classical democracy,” Loewenstein affirmed.

“The welfare of the beleaguered Arab and Iranian people must be our number one priority,” he stated.

JBAIG co-founder Vivienne Porzsolt, a retired social worker from Sydney and long a crusader for the seething Arab masses, pointed out that the illegitimate Muslim government leaders of the Middle East are being targeted by her followers with arrest warrants should they step foot on Australian soil or seek medical or refugee asylum here. Under the international law of universal jurisdiction, war criminals and their genocidal ilk are liable to arrest upon the deposition of a citizen’s complaint before the Attorney General.

She emphasized that her group’s actions were in complete fulfilment of the treasured Jewish tradition of seeking justice for suffering humanity.  Moreover, it has the complete approval of her mentor, former NSW Greens MLC Sylvia Hale, one of the world’s leading opponents of Islamist tyrants.

“It is imperative that we act quickly to bring Assad and Ahmadinejad to the gallows,” Porzsolt urged, “just as Gaddafi and Osama Bin Laden were so speedily dispatched. Assad the butcher is also massacring the 440,000 Palestinians living in Damascus and Aleppo. These greasy rats should be torn limb from limb,” she declared to tumultuous applause.

Casting aside her life-time enmity towards Israel, Porzsolt pleaded with the Jewish state to invade Syria and Iran and wipe out their respective feudal ruling classes. ”Only such a humanitarian gesture can have the desired effect of strengthening the region-wide intifadas in these countries leading to the toppling of their authoritarian regimes and the implementation of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all the Geneva Conventions,” she posited.

“As for our myriad of friends among the general public, we sincerely hope they will be moved to embrace the boycott of Arab and Iranian goods to help liberate the oppressed Arab masses, ” Loewenstein and Porzsolt concluded.

This press release, sent in by Cy Geshticte, that we assume is intended as a satire, has been published in keeping with the spirit of Friday Funnies.

 Australians to Boycott Arab and Iranian Goods

                                                 

 News Release         NR: 118,006    

For Immediate Distribution                    

 CANBERRA, 10 December (APR News Service)

 --  A new boycott movement relying on every supporter of Middle East freedom has been successfully launched by a group of prominent Australians, it was revealed today by its founders.               "It is high time we exposed the crimes against humanity committed by the modern pharoahs of the Muslim Middle East. Hosni Mubarak and Col. Moammar Gaddafi, who enslaved the long-suffering Egyptian and Libyan peoples with more than a 30-year dictatorship that is unprecedented in modern history have now been ousted, as has the Muslim Brotherhood leader M. Morsi, but democratic government is still not over the horizon.                

 Meanwhile Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Bahrain, Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan are being ruled by hereditary and reactionary usurpers who are massacring their own people ," stated former Foreign Minister the Hon. Bob Carr, author of the newly-released memoir Diary of a Foreign Minister.              

 Speaking to hundreds of Muslim Australians in front of the Syrian embassy, the long-serving politician, who is also noted for his remarkable three terms as Premier of New South Wales, excoriated the Arab and Iranian regimes for plundering their countries of their wealth and depriving their people of their basic human rights. He particularly upbraided Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Syria, Iraq and Iran for their entrenched system of apartheid against their Christian Copt, Shia, Palestinian, Sunni, Yazidi, Chaldean, Assyrian and Kurd populations.              

A prolific analyst of Middle East atrocities, the life-time Labour Party stalwart also bewailed the hundreds of thousands of civilians massacred by the Arab and Iranian security forces in the streets of Algiers, Aleppo, Taiz, Alexandria, Cairo,  Deraa, Latakia, Banias, Homs, Damascus, Teheran,  Manama, Kobani, Amman, Jeddah, Gaza City, Aden and Sanaa.               

 "It is simply incomprehensible that these bloodthirsty regimes are committing genocide against their own people," he declared.                

As a consequence, his new organization -- Australians for Boycotting Arab and Iranian Goods (AUBAIG) --  has demanded that all Aussie importers immediately terminate their contracts for the purchases of petroleum, petrochemicals, plastics, cotton yarn, towels and garments, rugs, fertilisers, majhool dates, figs, strawberries, taboule, couscous and sheet metal from these countries. In addition, all  firms with investments and joint ventures in these tyrannies are being pressured to divest their assets from them.                

Of greater importance is our campaign for the Australian government  to implement new sanctions by halting its arms shipments to the Nazi-like governments of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.                                

 "We are now happy to report that the Australian public is supporting our initiative until the vicious dictatorships of the Arab Middle East and Iran are overthrown and their civilian populations are finally endowed with classical democracy," Mr. Carr affirmed. He particularly lauded the former Gillard government for tightening its sanctions against Bashar al-Assad's monstrous killing machine in Syria.               

 "The welfare of the beleaguered Arab and Iranian people must be our number one priority. It is vitally urgent that international civil society overturn the mindless Obama-Putin agreements and quickly bring the genocidal dictators , Assad and the Iranian mullahs to the gallows, just as Osama Bin Laden was so speedily dispatched, " he declared.                 

 The impassioned veteran parliamentarian took the opportunity to warn against allowing the criminal Fatah and Hamas factions continuing to rule in Palestine. They operate deathly prisons and torture chambers. He repeated his insistence that their undemocratic leaders be ousted and be sued before the International Criminal Court in the Hague for their despicable war crimes in violation of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian and human rights law, as detailed in the Goldstone Report.                

"We must not allow our baseless fears of jeopardising Australia's UN Security Council seat to lead to our defaulting on our obligations under international humanitarian law to put an immediate stop to Arab and Iranian policies of genocide and apartheid," Carr firmly asserted.                  

The new boycott campaign is supported by Prof. Stuart Rees at the University of Sydney, David Shoebridge, leader of the NSW Greens,  Greens Senator Lee Rhiannon, Labour MP Maria Vamvakinou, the Socialist Alternative, former Anglican Bishop George Browning of Canberra,  the League for Iranian Democracy, Rev. Gregor Henderson, Past President of Uniting Church in Australia, Sonja Karkar, President of Australian Women Against Saudi Gender Apartheid, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and former Australian Ambassador to Syria Ross Burns.                  

 AUBAIG co-founder Ben Saul, an activist international law professor at the University of Sydney specialising in exposing Palestinian Authority corruption and a crusader for the seething Arab masses in the Middle East, pointed out that the illegitimate Muslim Arab government leaders are being targeted by his cadre of followers with arrest warrants should they step foot on Australian soil or seek asylum here. Under the international laws of universal jurisdiction, war criminals and their genocidal ilk are liable to arrest upon the deposition of a citizen's complaint before the Attorney General.                  

He emphasized that his group's actions were in complete fulfillment of the treasured Australian  tradition of seeking justice for suffering humanity.  Moreover, it has the endorsement of his spiritual adviser retired Catholic Bishop Patrick Power, a determined opponent of Arab and Iranian ethnic cleansing of the historic Christian communities in their lands.                

 In that regard, Prof. Saul echoed the call on the international community to bring to justice President Bashar al-Assad, the genocidal ruler of Syria who is bombing not only his own people with war planes but also decimating them with chemical weapons, especially the sarin nerve gas agent. Moreover, the 540,000 third generation Palestinians of Syria located in Damascus, Yarmouk and Latakia are facing extermination.               

 "This greasy rat should be torn limb from limb," he declared to tumultuous applause before the Canberra demonstrators.                   

 He also singled out the apartheid oppression inflicted by the Lebanese government against the Palestinian refugees in its midst, an act advised and consented to by the illegitimate para-state organisation Hizbullah.              

 Casting aside his past hostility towards Israel, Saul, a descendant of 19th century British Jewish convict immigrants, pleaded with the Jewish state to invade next-door Syria and Iran and wipe out their Shi'ite Palestinian-hating feudal ruling classes. He also demanded that the Australian government assist in this endeavour.               

 "Only such humanitarian interventions under the UN's Responsibility to Protect Doctrine can have the desired effect of strengthening the region-wide intifadas in these countries leading to the toppling of their authoritarian regimes,'' he posited.              

 In this regard, Saul dismissed US President Obama's recent diplomatic agreements concerning Syria and Iran as absurd as they give these countries' tyrants a longer shelf life.                 

AUBAIG is also proud to announce that Prof. Saul is proceeding to Turkey where he will cross the frontier into northern Syria. Some 3,900 Syrian Palestinians have been gassed and slaughtered there by their fellow Arabs and some 195,000 have been turned into refugees fleeing to Lebanon and Jordan.             

He will document this holocaust naqba as well as the unbelievable barbaric atrocities of the Syrian Arabs. They are eating the hearts and livers of Palestinians whose intestines have been ripped out by the Syrian militias as brought to our attention by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the recent G-8 Summit.              

 For this act of self-sacrifice in exposing the dirty politics of the Arab and Iranian genocidal enterprises, the entire Australian public ought to be grateful.               

 "As for our myriad of friends amidst the general public, we do sincerely thank them for embracing the boycott of Arab and Iranian goods which will immeasurably assist in the  liberation of  the persecuted Arab and Iranian masses, " Mr. Carr and Prof. Saul concluded.
