Why isn't there an appeal for the Australian floods?

At least 22 people are feared dead and nearly a hundred more missing as Australia faces it's worse case of flooding since 1974.

Flash flooding hurled millions of gallons of water, tsunami-like, down Queensland's Lockyer valley taking cars and houses along with it.

So, when I went into the British Resistance PalTalk room this morning and one of our Australian friends was in there I asked him to give me his account of the disaster.

He told me 30,000 people have to be evacuated by 4am (Australian time) today.

He gave an account of a mother and her two young children swept away in a car near a motel and of how a couple of people tried to help but they couldn't get to them.

He also spoke of a mother and her young son stranded on the top of a car surrounded by water and logs, and once again, people couldn't reach them.

His argument is that if there had been troops and helicopters they could have been saved.

'Brickie' is angry and it's understandable. There are around 4,000 Australian troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, yet the Australian Prime Minister (Labour) is only promising 150 army personnel and maybe 2 or 3 helicopters.

What use is 150 army personnel and 2 or 3 helicopters when there are 30,000 people to evacuate and rescue? Certainly the police can't cope as they are stretched to the limit. Added to that was there was no mention of sending any doctors.

Recently Australia gave Indonesia 500million dollars and sent planes and helicopters to rescue Indonesia's people. Why isn't the Australian government (Labour) doing the same for their own people?

Our government is doing nothing to help either. While we give millions in aid to other countries David Cameron says Australia doesn't need any help!

America is giving Australia 1 million dollars, New Zealand a further 1 million dollars.

The UK? NOTHING. That's right, a big fat zero.

This is a monumental disaster, so where are the television appeals? I haven't seen one. Not one!

If I find any links to donate to our Australian cousins I will be updating this article. After all, many of us have family over there.

UPDATE 13:31 - Finally the news is reporting on the floods but guess what... it was followed by the Haiti disaster. Just for comparison of course.

While they showed the Australians moving their things out while they can, they showed the aftermath of the earthquake and the camps in Haiti.

There is no comparison. The haitians have always lived in shanty towns and never had anything, whereas the Australians had it all and are losing it all. That in my book makes it worse for the Australians. And yes, I know a hell of a lot more people were killed in Haiti, but that's because of the density of the population.

While on this subject I would like to know what has happened to the billions of pounds that was pumped into Haiti, a country that is under 27,750 sq kilometres in size. Why is the earthquake area still covered in rubble and why are the people still living in tents a whole year after the event? With that amount of money they should all be living in mansions by now.

According to reports gang rape is now rife in Haiti. Do I expect to hear reports of gang rape in Australia? Of course not, because Australia is a more civilised country.

The media put these two reports back-to-back to justify lack of support to Australia from our government.

They make me sick.

The UN and USAID in Haiti

I was sent this via email today and thought it was worth sharing...

News back from Nick Brockhausen. He and Dennis Hebler made it back somewhat safe and sound. Here are their observations:

To All,

I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.
Port o Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact.Our team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead; the city smells like a charnel house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers money. The ones I ran into were either incompetent or outright anti-American. Most are French or French speakers, worthless every damn one of them. While 1800 rescuers were ready, willing and able to leave the airport and go do their jobs, the UN and USAID (another organization full of little Obamaites and Communists that openly speak against America). These two organizations exemplified their parochialism by:

USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami, yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land.

Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble.

Stacked enough food and water for the relief over at the side of the airfield then put a guard on it while we dehydrated and wouldn’t release a drop of it to the resuers.

No shower facilities to decontaminate after digging or moving corpses all day, except for the FEMA teams who brought their own shower and decon equipment, as well as air conditioned tents.

No latrine facilities, less digging a hole. If you set up a shitter, everyone was trying to use it.

I watched a 25 year old Obamaite with the USAID shrieking hysterically, berate a full bird colonel in the Air Force because he countermanded her orders whilst trying to unscrew the air pattern. " You don’t know what your president wants! The military isn’t in charge here! We are!"

If any of you are thinking of giving money to the Haitian relief, or to the UN, don’t waste your money. It will only go to further the goals of the French and the Liberal left.

If we are a fair and even society, why is it that only white couples are adopting Haitian orphans? Where the hell is that vocal minority that is always screaming about the injustice of American society?

Bad place, bad situation, but a perfect look at the new world order in action. New Orleans magnified a thousand times. Haiti doesn’t need democracy. What Haiti needs is Papa Doc. That’s not just my opinion, that is what virtually every Haitian we talked with said. The French run the UN and treat us the same as when we were a colony. At least Papa Doc ran the country.

Oh, and as a last slap in the face, the last four of us had to take US AIRWAYs home from Phoenix. They slapped me with a 590 dollar baggage charge for the four of us. The girl at the counter was almost in tears because she couldn’t give us a discount or she would lose her job. Pass that on to the flying public.
