A combination of being bone-idle and being swamped with work never a good combination, means we have to suspend the Green Stump's operation for a while.
For those that are interested the musings of the Stump will continue to be posted at
THE DRUM.
Do drop in and say Hi. It nothing else plenty of hilly billy rednecks over that way to make fun of.
See you soon!

Flithy Rudd and Dirty Coppers
Well it's been a few drinks between posts at the Stump for which we make no excuses. The fact is a lot has been going on of late, some good and some bloody awful.
Still not much has changed, hardliners in Indonesia still carry on like pork chops driven and controlled by various shadows. Corruption is still rampant with the Police Chief very concerned about who released the information that any number of Police Generals have literally untold millions of dollars in their dodgy bank accounts. In a normal world outside of bizarro land, you would think the investigation would focus on how the nasty ones got their greasy hands on so much cash..but nagh!
Meanwhile, the Police in an effort to prove their morality and super crime detection skills detained a B grade Singer and his somewhat attractive girlfriend for filming themselves having sex. Not bad quality, if the Stump may adopt the film critic mode for a moment but lacking plot development. Of course, why the police are so interested in someone's private sex lives speaks volumes about their priorities or lack of them.
Speaking of Police Chief’s one of the cheeky buggers, had the gall to say he never took funds from anyone. Which the Stump knows from personal experience is a blatant LIE, every couple of years the Stump is involved in some rather large community activities for the good of the local people. Each and every time such activities are planned, the budget must contain a significant amount of cash for “Operational Fees” or the permits required are not approved. Seriously, who do they think believes them?
Meanwhile, as was predicted on the Stump over 12 months ago, the serial fraud and the worst Prime Minister (K Rudd) in Australia's History was given the right royal boot by his own party and left friendless with his reputation in tatters.
The mantle of Prime Minister has fallen a Ms Julia Gillard, Australia's first female (to be confirmed)Prime Minister. Famous for her earlobes, the worldest longest nose on a political figure and intimate connections to a litany of failed policies over the past two years, the Australian Labor Party has inexplicably chosen her to lead them to the Federal Election in August this year. Meanwhile a intensive search is on for other Labor Party Ministers who have gone missing after stunning policy failure, some of which actually cost lives. A reward is out for MP Peter "The Home Insulation Policy is a Success not matter who many people scam it and how many untrained people it kills" Garrat. Also keep your eye out for MP Penny "What the hell happened to the ETS and greatest moral challenge of our time, I don't want to go back to just being a lesbian with a chinese name" Wong.
And in the interests of the upcoming election..
For those of you who have never travelled to the Australia and for those Australian's (?) who have never ventured out of the city cattle guards (grids) are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways). The purpose is to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on the "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.
A few months ago, Kevin Rudd received and was reading a report that there were over 10,000 cattle guards in NSW & Queensland. Graziers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Minister to fire half of the “cattle” guards immediately!!
Before the Minister could respond and presumably try to straighten him out, Minister for Employment Julia Gillard, intervened with a request that…. before any “cattle” guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.

Porn Indonesian Style
Ignoring the diverse and rich cultures that comprise Indonesia, the Indonesian Constitutional Court has somehow upheld the intolerant, bizarre and insidious Pornography Law. Indonesia’s stuffed shirts and intolerant loons can now go about their business of harassing women with the full weight of law. Seems some will not be happy until one half of the population is dressed like oversize shuttlecocks.
It is worth reviewing the simply and subjective description of what constitutes porn according to Indonesia's lawmakers.
Porn: Pictures, sketches, illustrations, photographs, articles, sounds, voices, moving pictures, animations, cartoons, conversations, body movements, or other forms of messages through various communication mediums and/or public displays, that contain obscenity or sexual exploitation that violates community norms.
Pretty much gives any self appointed ,nutcase a license to harass doesn’t it?
The “community norms” bit is laughable. Community norms where Bali, Papua, Kalimantan, Sulawesi? Unfortunately, the law is classic example how far the Jakarta/Java centric pressure groups have hijacked the law making process at the expense of greater Indonesia.
In upbeat news, Bali Governor Made Pastika has responded by refusing to enforce the law as he states, quite correctly law does not "suit the regions socio-psychological elements" One has to wonder what this means in the wider political picture in such a diverse nation.
Anyway in an effort to titillate both groups please enjoy the following and remember
Sexuality is in the eye of the beholder.

WAYNE SWAN - DIVES AGAIN
How desperate is the Australian Labor Party as people wake up to their spin, do nothing but waste money government…
Listening to the whinging, sad, little creature Wayne Swan complain that the Opposition Leader goes surfing more than he does, clearly shows a rattled government. You idiot Swan, do you really expect any Australian to believe that ugly mug has ever sat on surfboard expect for a photo op? You are worse than than the phoney Rudd and his hard hat photo ops.
Wayney whinges...
“I frankly can't understand how he finds the time to engage in all of those pursuits. I personally would love to go surfing more often but I can't because I've got a very important job to do……when I was opposition treasury spokesman I couldn't find the time to do the things that I wanted to do because these are big jobs and they require a big commitment in terms of time.”
How old are you whinging Wayne? Twelve? “Aww he gets to play more often than me, it’s not fair” (stamping foot)
Instead of worrying about where and when Tony Abbott goes surfing, the Stump would like know what you have to say about your raft of nonsense programs that have achieved nothing, killed people and driven Australia deep into debt.

Green Indonesia
Indonesia is continuing its push to considered a regional leader in Environmental issues. Not content with its success in ensuring the continuance of that vile Shark Fin Harvesting by scuttling proposed world wide bans on the trade. The Stump was pleased to receive by email today, the latest graphics on Indonesian River Management. Truely an example for us all..
THE CITARUM RIVER - STAND TALL AND BE PROUD AT THE NEXT ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM
THE WORLD SALUTES YOU
/>Seriously what amazes the Stump is not so much as these pictures are typical of any river around Jakarta (or any city in Indonesia) but the sheer apathy of the educated populace. Do they not or not care? Are they are aware of how much the rest of the world guffaws when they suggest they want to be considered as regional environemental leaders? Tis a mystery to any rational being.

FIJI WANTS OUT and Doug the moron
In Earth shattering news today..
The Australian Newspaper reports
"FIJI'S military leader says his country may quit the Commonwealth altogether due to pressure from the international organisation to call elections, a report says.
Fiji was suspended from the Commonwealth in September last year after Frank Bainimarama broke a promise to hold elections by March 2009 to restore democracy following the 2006 coup."
All the Stump can say is aaaawwwwwww!! Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out. Does this mean another failed, parasitic state is off the taxpayer tit?
Beaches, cauliflower ears and .... well thats about it. Shouldn't be that hard to replace.
Meanwhile back in the most polluted city in the world. Jakarta citizens had to choke down some more as yet another betel nut brain polly suggested Indonesia should head up the UN Climate Change Panel. No seriously, he really did!
On a more ominious note, regional maps dicating the religious background of various population centres in Greater Jakarta are being mooted by the various brain dead that walk the corridors of power. Presumably these maps will become big sellers during the bi-annual mob riot season.
Australian News
"Doug" a striking worker(?)from the Pulto project in Western Australia stated to the press "The company is treating us like the NAZI's did the Polish People during World War Two"
"Doug" of course, is striking because the company will not hold his room vacant when he is out on rostered break. Which would be something like 5 weeks on, two weeks off and in excess of $150,000Aud a year.
Doug you are an absolute moron!
The stump would suggest you get someone to read you the "Diary of Ann Frank" before you open your overpaid, yap again. The Stump could suggest loftier tomes, but its doubtful you could read anything without pictures and large print. To suggest your life has anything in common with the Polish under the Nazi's is repugant and yet another reason why the union dominated, KRUDD government is a "ONCER".

PALM DESERTS AND GREEN VANDALS
The Stump has copped some flak about the Green Stump credentials over the past couple of years, primarily because the Stump would not jump in the great cess-pool of distorted facts that made up the “settled” science of Climate Change/Global Warming/Cooling. It has been fun watching as Public Opinion shifts with the sheer weight on bulldust hoisted on the long suffering taxpayers exposed as it always would be. The Stump cannot keep up with the sheer number of fraudulent claims uncovered everyday as more and more people awaken from their Jonestown like stupor.
The rabids that previously started frothing at the mouth at the merest suggestion that Climate Change was really just code for Global Scam and daring to question the rank gospel of green are vanishing faster than Bali Tiger. It is becoming almost impossible to find a loud mouth global climate wanker these days and backpedalling is to become a Olympic Medal Sport.
To the relief of the sane, the endless underfed minions of Gore have climbed back inside their mossy and rank soap boxes (organic soap of course) to ponder what could have been in a socialist green world with no people. While the "unassailable facts" from the book of Gore and the high church of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)are looking a very sickening colour of puke rather than green.
By the way, How is the 20m rise is sea levels going? It is now five years since the Gore Fanasty, name any lost islands yet?
As for the IPCC, The Stump did say two years ago it was just an exercise in money laundering and was branded the same as holocaust denier....Apologies not accepted.
"The chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has used bogus claims that Himalayan glaciers were melting to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Rajendra Pachauri’s Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), based in New Delhi, was awarded up to £310,000 by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the lion’s share of a £2.5m EU grant funded by European taxpayers…
The IPCC had warned that climate change was likely to melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 - an idea considered ludicrous by most glaciologists. Last week a humbled IPCC retracted that claim and corrected its report."
On the local front, Indonesian Government agencies famous the world over for their ability to spot a scam, came up with a stunner this week.
The Jakarta Globe reported:
The Indonesian Forestry Ministry is drafting a decree to include oil palm plantations in the forest sector to comply with international standards in mitigating climate change…“By definition, oil palm plantations will be defined as forest,…
Now a sane person would wonder why would you do that??..Perhaps because…
He(The Forestry Offical)said that "the UN only categorized trees with a certain height as forest trees, without identifying their species".
“It is to anticipate the implementation of the REDD scheme,”
This from a nation who had the nerve to accuse developed nations as pillaging the environment...WHAT A JOKE
But wait there's more from our forest friend!
"Reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) allows forestry countries to receive financial benefits by stopping tree lopping.”
Well there it is…….WEEEEEEEEEE FREE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indonesia is telling the world those millions and millions of acres of environmental deserts called Palm Plantations that replaced some of the most ecological diverse forests in the history of planet are really “forests”.
Best of all those green driven idiots in the West will give them money under the REDD scheme to do so.
In one of the stupidest and most ignorant statements the Stump has read this year, The Indonesian Forest Ministery was reported as saying:
“The oil palm industry did not relate to deforestation.”
Say what!!!!! Have these morons never caught a plane over Sumatera or Kalimantan??? How do these people survive public opinion or more to the point where is the public opinion? Too busy chasing the next free pulsa perhaps.
More of this example of why Indonesia should not and cannot be taken seriously when it comes to the environment is here.

Hungry Kid?..Pray for it
Two Unrelated News Items...that need no comment..
"Despite its predominance as an agricultural country, research shows that Indonesia holds the dubious title as the country with the highest levels of malnutrition in Southeast Asia.
National research on Indonesian basic health, or Riskesdas, released at the end of 2008, revealed that one out of five children aged under five were underweight and nearly 37 percent of children experienced stunted growth."
......................................................................................
The East Java provincial government has decided to provide free healthcare to clerics who run Islamic boarding schools across the province, Deputy Governor Saifullah Yusuf said Saturday.
Quoted by Antara state news agency, he said the initiative would help prevent clerics from suffering serious illnesses.

UNILATERAL AID
The country of Haiti is suffering after an earthquake of devastating proportions and we are, as so often is the case witnessing the very worst and very best of human behaviour.
It is always curious to see at times like these, the very people crying out for the downfall of the USA and the “West” in general now screaming out to for the USA to please help. The USA being what she is, of course answers the call again providing the lion's share of aid and support.
One cannot but think what kind of sad world we would live in if we had to
rely on the likes of China, the Middle East and South America for humanitarian aid.
As for the carping, mindless USA/West criticism from the morally moribund left, the Stump looks forward to the day when the USA sends the bill for the Aid to the EU and UN. After all, didn’t we decide that unilateral action by a super power was a sin beyond redemption.

A NON POST
Sorry the Stump has been indisposed of late but we have some big wins and a few small loses but overall in front. Posting will be few n far between over the next few weeks as we scuttle off to the sunburnt country for a bit of R&R after a hectic Christmas and New Year working.
Meanwhile a few of highlights that have made us laugh, cry and shake our heads.
• The outstanding performance of Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati when questioned by the terminally ignorant. Never has one person displayed such accurate feelings of contempt and distain for the parasites that have nerve to suggest they represent the people in Indonesia. Oh if only she ran for President!
• Islam took another set of body blows with a bunch of ignorant cavemen claiming the sole right to use the word Allah in Malaysia and burning churches to boot. Considering the word is primarily used by Christians in Malaysian “Borneo”, perhaps these knuckle heads should be a bit more polite considering they are only late comer guests.
• Meanwhile yet another self proclaimed representative of Allah and cleric declared it wasn’t him that raped a 15 year old girl but his pet genie!
• The UN confessed that “THE peak UN body on climate change has been dealt another humiliating blow to its credibility after it was revealed a central claim of one of its benchmark reports - that most of the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 because of global warming - was based on a "speculative" claim by an obscure Indian scientist”…. “Mr Hasnain, who was then the chairman of the International Commission on Snow and Ice's working group on Himalayan glaciology, has since admitted that the claim was "speculation" and was not supported by any formal research.”
Have fun and see you soon...
