Scenes from Australia

Crocodile.jpg


I just returned from a two-week, six-city speaking tour of Australia, and thought I'd share a few photos:

Leftist and Muslim vandals have required Sergio to repaint his mural 63 times -- and counting.

Leftists and Islamic supremacists have picketed Max Brenner and called for a boycott because it supplies chocolate to the IDF. So I was proud to stand with Max Brenner against the jihad.

You were terrific, Robert!!

Robert, thank you for the pictures of your Australian trip!

I'm so glad you made it to Max Brenner's chocolate shop, which Dumbledore's Army has mentioned several times here.

My favorite is the shot of the crocodile warnings, captioned:

"Feeding the crocodiles won't make them like you". How apt. Your dry sense of humor is much appreciated, as always.

So sorry to have missed you; the Sydney event must have booked out really quickly. Next time use bigger venues!

My expectations were very high, but you have completely...

surpassed them!:)
You made me proud to be a fan of you and your work!

Robert, looks like you're an honorary Aussie now....but you'll have to wait until spring to say "throw some shrimp on the barbie".

Say, I think I recognize that crocodile - isn't that Mahmoud Ahmedinejad? He's the one you're supposed to feed, hoping that he'll eat you last.

Nice photo of that croc. You would never cach me feeding it. Crocodiles and alligators are left-overs from the dinosaur age. Islam is a left-over from the age of pre-reason. Perhaps crocs and gators should be protected. But let us hope Islam becomes extinct, instead. Crocs and gators haven’t killed nearly the number of people that Islam has.

"Feeding the crocodiles won't make them like you"

Good on yer mate!
Methinks they might be good for handbags!
I know these Ayatollah fellas are pretty thick-skinned, but crikey!
Or should that be crockey?!
I'm going walkabout!
Later 'gator!
Aaaw! Give it up!

Was it Winston Churchill who said something about appeasing crocodiles? in the hope that they eat you last? can someone confirm?

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Robert.

My sister, who resides in North Carolina, was in Australia over Thanksgiving visiting her son, who lives there. Unfortunately she still believes Obama inherited his problems from Bush, and she's blind when it comes to islam. I can't even talk to her about it. She's such a smart woman, I don't know why she doesn't get it.

Too bad she didn't attend one of your lectures - it would have opened her eyes, for sure.

Two things...That's the first time I have ever seen Robert in a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up...ready for some serious work...in a restaurant...Well I know he wasn't washing dishes, so I'm assuming the food is good enough to really dig into...'Food to roll your sleeves up for', is a good slogan...

The jungle picture looks a lot like my back yard...

Hmmmm... you know, it wouldn't take many changes on that sign to make it apply to Muslims instead of crocs:

A. Do not "provoke" or draw cartoons of the muslims or they may become aggressive, and could attack you.

B. You must supervise children at all times, especially on "field trips" to local mosques because their teachers will just feed them a load of taqiyya.

C. Do not put hands or fingers on or through any fences at the mosque, especially on Friday afternoons when they are carrying out those amputation sentences.

D. Do not climb over any fences or bordering structures surrounding the mosques, as they may not let you back out unless you convert.

E. Do not enter or wade in the footbaths.

F. Anyone found disobeying these rules or behaving in an irresponsible or disordering manner or damaging the property will be accused of "Islamophobia".

A nice crocodile smile. How appropriate to start your photo album.

Yes, Churchill.

sweet pics ........ cobber!

look forward to any upcoming vids

"Feeding the crocodiles won't make them like you"
Did Obama get this message?

I see Mr Spencer, while in Canberra, was taken to our national War Memorial, a treasure trove of history.

Besides the Red Baron's boot, there are many other interesting relics there.

Mr Spencer would have seen the carefully-preserved remnants of a beautiful Byzantine-era (reign of Justinian, most likely) mosaic church floor, that was stumbled across by Australian soldiers **near Gaza** during the 'Palestine' campaign in World War One (it appears it had already been uncovered - AND DAMAGED - by Turkish Muslim soldiers earlier on.

It was identified by the Anglican padre, who was a red-hot keen archaeologist, and was snaffled up and taken home as a souvenir. Just as well - it includes representations of living creatures - flamingoes, lions, a peacock- and is thus exactly the sort of thing that the mindless Mohammedans love to smash. It is safer in Canberra, for now, than anywhere near Gaza.

http://www.awm.gov.au/blog/2008/01/09/the-shellal-mosaic/

This is not stopping some idiots from accusing the Australians of looting, and demanding that it be 'given back'.

I wouldn't give it to anybody in or near Gaza right now. It would be smashed to bits by the Hamasniks. (One could, I suppose, give it to the Greek Orthodox in Jerusalem and ask them to look after it there; but even so, it's probably safer Down Under, for the moment.)


http://www.smh.com.au/national/diggers-accused-of-plundering-mosaic-from-gaza-20110813-1is5s.html

Note well, this paragraph: "The Shellal Mosaic was uncovered and significantly damaged by Turkish soldiers while digging a machine gun position on a hill where the Shellal church had once stood,"

Turkish **Muslim** soldiers come across a spectacularly beautiful church mosaic, containing figures of living beings. Who wants to bet that they couldn't care less what damage was done to it?

The Aussies, settling in to rearranging the fortifications for their own use, once they'd defeated and driven off the Turkish Muslims, did not damage the lovely thing - they carefully, under expert supervision, **removed** it out of harm's way, and *then* got on with digging foxholes. And I think taking it home to Australia was a very sensible thing to do...it got it right out of the range of marauding art-smashing Mohammedans, at least until now, when we have at least 300 000 dangerous, hostile Mohammedans busy colonising Australia's two major cities.

Too late to realise that Mo's on the way to occupy Australia. Lets see in the coming 20 years. Anyway we already too old to fight back. Wake up Aussie, American..

Sculptor Sergio Redegalli and his "Say No to Burqas" painting in Sydney

Leftist and Muslim vandals have required Sergio to repaint his mural 63 times -- and counting.
..................................

63 times! What a hero Redegalli is!

And he is a talented artist in glass. His piece 'Cascade' is the world's largest free-standing glass sculpture. This and some other examples of his work can be seen here:

Anyone looking for Holiday gifts might consider patronizing Cydonia, Redegalli's studio.

http://www.cydoniaglass.com.au/

Besides Australia—where he is based—there is a branch of Cydonia here in San Francisco. Here's their Yelp page:

Anyone looking for something sweet might consider patronizing Max Brenner's Chocolate Shops. Besides Israel and Australia, they have shops in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas here in the States.

You can order their chockies on-line here:

or here, at the Judaica Web Store:

...............................

Speak for yourself, Nabram. Most of here haven't given up the fight—and you shouldn't, either.

There are lots of brave Aussies—and those who stand with them, like Robert Spencer—who are not going to let it go without a fight.

The same is true with the rest of the West.

I'm not saying the struggle will be easy, but there is *no* reason the advanced, civilized, ethical West should fall to the savage followers of a barbaric Dark Ages cult.

Seconding that.

And if when he said 'we too old to fight back' he was referring to Australia, I suspect he's dead wrong.

The last few years have seen something of a 'baby boom' in Oz - and it's the non-Muslim Aussies who've been having kids. Not only young couples starting their families, but older couples with one or two or three kids deciding to add another one just for fun...or finding they've had a happy accideent...

One of my own younger sisters had her third baby in June, she turned 41 in July, and one of my younger brothers and his wife, both in their mid to late thirties, decided - with their third child aged six - that they just felt like having another baby, their fourth child and second daughter was born early this December.

A few years ago some friends of ours who had three teenage sons suddenly added a fourth child to their family - a much-delighted-in daughter; and again, some years ago, another couple who'd seemed to be quite content with their 'pigeon pair', a boy and a girl, suddenly upped and had a third child. It's not about the 'baby bonus', which was ridiculous - everybody laughed at it as soon as it was brought in, because everybody knew it didn't even begin to cover the real cost of raising a child. It's quite simply that for whatever mysterious reason, ordinary Aussie couples - not only young ones, but pushing-middle-aged ones - just...decided to have a kid or two or three, or even four. Not the huge litters that Muslims have, but probably enough to hold our non-Islamic population steady, and give us a few young men and women to fight for us.

Every time I see pictures of young Aussie soldiers coming back on home leave after doing stints in the Hell Pits of Afghanistan, they seem to be being greeted at the airports by wives or girlfriends, with a gaggle of young children in tow.

On Remembrance Day I saw this incredibly poignant picture of this little Aussie toddler: whose mother was *pregnant* with him at the time that his father was killed in action in Afghanistan. The jihadis killed that young men; but there is his son, wearing his dad's medal.

I go down to the local shopping centre - which is huge - in the middle of the day, and every time I've gone I've seen mums with kids in tow, and they're none of them Muslims.

And last year and this year, at the local primary school where my youngest son goes, I've seen any number of the mums - all of whom have at least one child of school age, whether in the younger or older grades - blossoming with babies. One had twins...And again: they're not Muslims, they're just common or garden (and often not particularly religious) Aussies, who are having kids - one, two, three, even four, maybe a fifth in some cases - because, well, they like life and feel like sharing it around and passing it on.

Every one of the elderly folks who attends our church, has grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren.
