“Maybe the terrorists have won.”
Indeed. But that is attributable more to the willful ignorance and fecklessness of non-Muslim leaders than to their strength or ingenuity.
“‘Maybe the terrorists have won’: Country town’s annual fun run is cancelled due to the high costs of guarding against a TERROR attack,” by Alana Mazzoni, Daily Mail Australia, July 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A country town has been forced to axe their annual fun run as the costs to protect against a potential terror attack are too high.
The rural town of Bendigo, in country Victoria, won’t be putting on their yearly fun run in November as planned due to safety concerns.
A large chunk of the cost for setting up the run would come from the installation of concrete bollards – which are worth tens of thousands of dollars.
‘We are disappointed that this great event is being cancelled but safety is the number one priority,’ Bendigo Health chairman Scott Elkington told the Bendigo Advertiser.
He said after costs for anti-terrorism measures are added together, the event would no longer be feasible….
A disgruntled Bendigo resident told 3AW’s Neil Mitchell that he’s disappointed in the decision to cancel the fun run.
‘It sort of feels to me as though maybe they’ve already won if we’re going to be insistent on hiding behind concrete bollards,’ he said….
Last year’s run raised more than $86,000 for Bendigo Health, meaning the local hospital will be missing out on much needed funding this year.
The Bendigo Bank Fun Run has been running for 12 years, and last year attracted more than 2000 participants.

“Country town’s annual fun run is cancelled”
Well, in a sense they will still be having their “fun run.” The town’s women will continue to run away from all the Muslim men AU has imported along with those who were born in AU but who are inculcated with all those great Islamic attitudes towards the kafir.
Remember, their Qur’an teaches that all non-Muslim women are fair game as war booty. Robert has, on numerous occasion, listed all the Islamic teachings on how non-Muslim women can be treated.
mortimer says
Australians are ‘RUNNING SCARED’ from Muslims and that is what Islamic teaching want the dirty kafirs to do.
Mohammed demanded his followers conduct aggressive jihad to intimidate the kafirs. If kafirs were to lose their fear of Muslims, Mohammed said, “… you will be rubbish like the rubbish of flood-water. And certainly Allah will remove from the hearts of enemies the FEAR OF YOU and surely Allah will throw Wahn in your hearts. A person asked, What is Wahn, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet said, Wahn is to love this world and to hate death.” – Abu Dawud 4284
The implication is that Muslims must keep the kafirs in constant fear in order to SABOTAGE them.
The fear of jihad and Muslims have sabotaged the Bendigo hospital charity.
Aussie Infidel says
Mortimer, You are right – our politicians are “running scared.” Many of our politicians can only be described as dhimmi fools – and they don’t even understand what ‘dhimmi’ means. They are totally ignorant of Islam. Most of them have never read the Quran. And their ignorance together with their political correctness, means that they don’t criticise Islam or Muslim jihadists. I asked one candidate before the recent elections if he understood what ‘stealth jihad’ meant, and he didn’t have a clue. When I explained, he virtually accused me of peddling a conspiracy theory. The elections saw the present government returned to office. But I’m afraid that little will change, because the majority of politicians don’t have the knowledge or the guts to speak out against this scourge infiltrating our country.
The fun run was promoted by the Bendigo Bank. But some years back the Bank adopted an appeasing attitude toward Muslims – so much so, that I, along with many others, cancelled our accounts with the Bank and went elsewhere. There was also much dissension involving the Bendigo City Council over the proposal to build a mosque in the city. And of course where there was money involved, there was also graft and corruption. Ignorance of Islam also extends all the way to our High Court, which summarily dismissed a challenge by the Concerned Citizens group against this proposal.

Totally agree, when I read that it was Bendigo I blurted out a snort rofl, just desserts sorry to say, cant have your cake and eat it too Bendigo Bank.
I was about to sign up with them where I live interstate and remortgage my house too, but then the mosque fiasco happened and the fascist CEO made that fateful decision to close the account of the folk protesting the mosque, so no sympathy from me.
Rufolino says
Not only politicians are running scared. The West is losing its collective backbone due to political correctness. Weakness and retreat everywhere.
Two days ago ago an Italian player cursed England and the English on court at Wimbledon. He should have been sent off, but not a murmur of protest was heard from the crowd or the umpire.
Contemptible weakness.

No wonder Bendigo was very unhappy to have a mosque built.
But when you hear of the cover up, the manipulation
A terrible crime, and the authorities tried to keep it covered up.
Interesting comments, that seemed to have had a surge this year.
Leslie Fish says
It would be cheaper and easier to just THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!
Dan says
“Maybe”????
Bendigo didn’t shut the run down because, “This time of year is high fire season and we can’t risk not being at the ready.”
They didn’t shut down the run because, “Last year we only had five runners, low attendance and no sponsors, and locals and businesses just don’t want to deal with the hassle anymore.”
They didn’t shut down the run because, “Doctors found heart attack and heat stroke rates go through the roof during the event, and because overwhelmed emergency crews are stretched too thin, the next biggest gatherings in town after the run are always funerals.”
They shut it down because every blinking, blanking, blonking year, there have been enough threats directed at the event officials had to prepare like the American President was participating. (I’d have said the Australian Prime Minister but obviously he, she, or most likely some neutered xhe, have already capitulated.)
Ain’t no “maybe” nothing.
MuSLIMES have won another battle in the war they are well on their way to winning.
And “moderate” Muslimes are just as responsible because they go to the same mosques the nut jobs do, and aren’t turning said nut jobs, or the imams responsible, in.

I assume the majority of Fun Runners and Marathon runners are Liberals. Not ALL but a majority, so I wonder if the high cost of their society and pleasure will ever sink into their heads? Add to that the majority of Western Women vote for the liberals, YOU’D THINK THAT THEY WOULD GIT TIRED OF LIVIN IN FEAR FOR THEIR SELVES, DAUGHTERS AND EVEN young SONS!
mortimer says
Good point from Mac: there is aHIGH COST financially and socially and in terms of security when you have Muslims in a country. Jihad is an ‘essential’ teaching of Islam and that means ALL MUSLIMS must participate in jihad or they have a status of ‘NON-EFFECTIVE’ or worse, of ‘LAPSED’ Muslim. If all Muslims participated in militant jihad, they could bankrupt the world in a short time.
All Muslims actually DO participate in the JIHAD OF THE TONGUE when they dissemble, conceal or cloak the meaning, motive and methods of jihad.
The threats directed at the Bendigo hospital charity prove that Islam is not a peaceful religious doctrine. OK, Ozzies, go back to sleep. Your country will die the death of a thousand cuts.

I bet the cost of increased security in Western Countries would be reachin close to a Trillion if not more since 911. Staggerin!

Dan says
From the article though, I’d have to believe it was the few officials who canceled the event.
Unless there was a public forum or vote or something, runners and residents probably had no say in the matter, and it was probably sprung on them when it was too late for any say.
And now that I think about it, if threats were sent in, officials could have saved a lot of face by saying, “We’re received numerous credible threats from THESE MUSLIM FACTIONS and are making public all the necessary information to expose them.”
Why is it conservatives can be doxxed every time we fart, yet the Law hasen’t got the cajones to plaster freakin’ wanted posters of mulsims and imams everybody KNOWS are saying “Kill “fill in the blank.”?
Mac-101 says
Agree. TEH Lib runners probably blame the authorities for bein Islamophopic and cancelling the events. LOL!

mortimer says
In this case, Western people have lost because they are UNPREPARED.
Australians have NOT PREPARED sufficiently to counter the jihad. They have LET SOMEONE ELSE do the preparation for fighting jihad. The political and religious leaders have not prepared, even thought the counterjihad facts and materials have been virtually SPOON-FED to them.
Of all ‘Western’ countries, Australia has some of the top counterjihadists, but they cannot win if a large grou of the people are TOO LAZY to read and learn about jihad and the motive of jihad: AL WALAA WAL BARAA (comradeship and cleansing).
AL WALAA WAL BARAA is the most important teaching for Westerners to learn, but most Westerners do not it and their eyes glaze over if told about it.
The MOTIVE of Islam is what AL WALAA WAL BARAA is about. If you master AL WALAA WAL BARAA, you have a clear understanding of Islam and can figure out what Muslims are thinking, even if they don’t know themselves.

revereridesagain says
But – but – but – CHRISTCHURCH! Don’t the poor widdle Muslims have more to fear from the rampaging infidels in the Lands Down Under?
I. Guess. Not.
Certainly not in Bendigo. Which sounds like it’s in the middle of nowhere. Exactly how many “migrants” has it been infested with, anyway, or do the Soldiers of Allah import eager seekers of the Holy Compensations of the Renewable Virgins on an ad hoc basis to terrorize this particular town into dhimmitude?
Just a thought, but instead of spending thousands on concrete bollards, how about scaring up a few dozen local ranchers with some testicular fortitude and loaded shotguns and stationing them at points from which “AllahuAkbar”-shrieking Muslim males — there are no Muslim MEN — might be expected to attack?
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
The high cost of fun. Remember, Islam disapproves of having fun. To do so in their presence would be insulting and Islamophobic and worthy of violent retribution. With this example, we can say with certainty that the Aussies are now prisoners in their own homeland. Islam is like
a boa constrictor, slowly squeezing the life out of any of its host countries. Islam is a cancerous rot on Democracy.
ntesdorf says
This is yet another example of how Islam ‘enriches’ Western civilisations with their presence. Some Muslim countries have been so ‘enriched’ by Islam that now 50% of the young people in the country want to emigrate to the USA, Europe or Australia. Wherever Islam goes the country is ‘enriched’ to death often by Jihad.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Town cancels annual Fun Run over high costs of guarding against jihad massacre
…and yet if you speak factually about the jihad threat in that nation you’re a racist bigot islamophobe.
We might as well get used to it, this is how it’s going to be with islam. Our fun, our entertainment, our way of life, will forever be at risk with muslims. And the reason is simple: If you let in a whole lot of outsiders who live for a simpleton creed of violence then fair minded sensible people will suffer. Muslims have never embraced Western ideals and they never will. That’s why they stick to themselves and rape our people while subverting society, because they don’t respect the “infidel” way of life. Their members are killing /terrorizing/subverting on a daily level, but you rarely here about this in the mainstream media. This is why we need sites like JW and the Geller Report and Bare Naked Islam, they do such a good job of educating the public about islam’s multifaceted jihad against us non-muslims. Islam is eroding Western values and changing us for the worse, and we can’t protect ourselves if we aren’t informed about the problem. As a piece of local news, a canceled run might not seem all that important. But when the effects of islam are considered holistically then one can readily see the degrading effect it’s having on a global scale. That’s the great service JW provides, we get a universal look at what muslims are doing and the catastrophic effects it’s having. Khomeini said, “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer.” But this is the same god that thinks and teaches like a bigoted serial killer, so allah is not fit to dominate the more enlightened people of the world. If muslims want to worship a demon-like god then they can live that drab unhappiness in their own nations, not ours. We shouldn’t have to give up our fun simply because they lack the spiritual or intellectual know-how to wholesome living.

I’ll never be a Spencer or a Wilders, but I’m proud to say I’m a staunch follower of the good work they do. And ya know what? I think that makes me a good person.

Will all Anzac Parades be shut down?
Will all Parades be shut down?
Will all festivals be closed down?

So many smaller centres that can not take “all steps” for “safety and health” with “duty of care”.
As the London mayor said, just be vigilant, as it will just be a part of living in a community.
Not getting at you Angemon, just a deep frustration that we are being herded in even many more things, and every one else is going along with it, or tripping up the ones who want much more reasoned debate, discussion and argument.

“Better that than making the front news the next day” canceling all musical concerts, outdoor art shows , eating of pork in public, close all bars, any place that serves alcohol , do not walk your large black dog in the no go zones ,you women better cover up ,because no one wants to be “front page news” for living a normal non-Moslem life without , fear .A fun run something that is harmless, nonpolitical , not linked to any political belief, to any religious beliefs, offenses these violent ,sexually perverted ,regressive ,child molesters, wife beating ,thieving ,racist idiots! Yes yes duck down our heads and not call out the bastards for what they are in the MSM ,how many very simple freedoms should we lose to the “religion of Peace”. The road to hell is paved with good attention ,and the libtard SJW seem to be a busy work crew paving the way to full Sharia law in the western world along with weak government leaders that keep getting elected as they appease the beast of the “religion of Peace”. Lets keep importing savages who either want to kill us, or enslave us, the ones that do not go full jihad either support or keep quiet about the ones that do. I am sure in Germany in 1940 there were Germans who were not happy about Hitler or Fascism , they either keep quiet or were murder by fellow Germans in the program .

Religion of peace? It is of course neither.
WPM says
It is a religion just a bad one, like head hunting ,cannibalism ,,human sacrifices were part of past religions that did not make it into the 21 century .Saying it is not a religion clouds the water of debate and cause confusing in trying to combat it is a political movement and a religion rolled into one. Many hard core Nazis had a belief that entered into making Nazism a religion for them .The true believers who perform violent Jihad thinking they are going to the great whorehouse in the sky make it their religion , the women who gladly want their children to kill themselves to allah just so allah knows they are good slaves to allah are very religious in their following of Islamic scriptures .
James Lincoln says
About the only way that the rural town of Bendigo could have their yearly fun run in November would be in an indoor track.
The building could likely be secured using antiterrorism measures cost-effectively.
Of course this would take a little bit of “fun” out of the “run”.
By the way…
Does anybody remember the New York World’s Fair 1964/1965???
My father took me several times as a youngster and I have fond memories. He had attended the 1939/1940 New York World’s Fair and he wanted to make sure that I had the privilege of having a similar experience. It was the best time that I ever had as a youngster.
But…
Due to antiterrorism security reasons, there will never be a another New York World’s Fair.
Sad.

Re: ““Maybe the terrorists have won.” Indeed. But that is attributable more to the willful ignorance and fecklessness of non-Muslim leaders than to their strength or ingenuity.”
Well Yes, exactly; and that’s because all politicians are professional hypocrites, and all hypocrisy involved paranoid masochism aka psychopathic behavior. They pretend everyone else’s always out to get them so they’re always helpless victims. So when a real threat (ALL muslims really ARE always out to get them) they simply, out of habit, keep on doing what they’d have done if there wasn’t a real threat, which is to pretend to give in to it anyway! After all, they’ve learned from long experience as negligent criminals, that “there’s no money in solutions!” and pretending to study a problem forever (as long as they can get paid to pretend they can’t understand it) while also pretending to control their fears BY causing and inducing others to cause those very same worst-case scenario problems which cause the pains they fear the most, is what they would have always done anyway.

It is not only Bendigo that has had to cancell . In Murwillumbah, a town in NSW Australia , has had to cancell their banana festival , which has been going for 64 years. It consists of colourful floats , parades etc. The organisers could not afford the $10,000 , to errect the concrete bollards , that the police had insisted on . In a few years time , if the police insists on all this anti terrorism safety in towns across Australia, , there won’t be any festivals left . Full story daily mail australia.

For “all steps” “safety and health”, “duty of care” that now costs a fortune.
So has terrorism won?
Which is the winning ideology?
Who are the “Australian-New Zealand Counter-Terrorism Committee”?

Remember their motto is always “There’s No Money In Solutions, so Please Give Generously – AGAIN!” Stopping muslim immigration would be relatively cheap and help solve the problem, but it would put the bollards-salesmen (and other insecurity industries) out of business, and we can’t have that now, can we?! No, of course not! Think of their children, not your children!

Sooo, for this event to be canceled, there has to be a majority of muslims in that town, calling the shots. There ought to be someone out there, noting the amount of muslims in each major town in Australia.
Or for every NON-muslim country, in this world (that is turning into “muslim”).
I, myself, started keeping a record (since 9/11), and found that 19 leaders of 19 countries (NON-muslim countries), allowed millions of “them”, into their borders (mostly in Europe), without KNOWING or CARING, what these so called “immigrants” believed in! I could see one or two countries, doing that, but 19?? There’s only one way, that could happen. Satan influenced them, as he needs his followers in these “mostly white, christian” countries, to do what our bible says he will do, during the coming, 7 year Tribulation!
Maybe someone else who has studied bible prophecy for years, beside me, knows what that is. Want a scary hint? Put in “Rev 20:7″ in your search box, and read the verse that comes up. I have found a lot of verses that seem to talk about these muzzie satan followers, taking over, one is this one.
How could anyone, throughout the history of the world, understand what this meant….until now:
Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” John 16:2
And then there’s the verse that says this: ..by PEACE, he shall destroy many.
And many more:
Bible prophecy is (sadly), coming alive…

No it doesn’t, Joan. Bendigo cannot afford security to prevent Jihad terror attacks–you don’t need a majority of Muslims for this to be the case.
Bronson says
Bendigo was a good town with solid foundations going back to Gold Rush times. Some years back Muslims started drifting in and in 2014 a Saudi funded mega-mosque development was put to the local city government for approval. The Bendigo Bank was all for it as they would have had a finger in the Saudi money pot and corrupt members if the city council owned the land which the Saudi money would have purchased for the mosque to be built on. Opponents were vilified as Islamophobic bigots and Bendigo Bank closed their accounts. So the Bank put Bendigo on the muslim map and brought the town to jihadist attention. So now five years after the mosque was approved the city council has had to stop a city event sponsored by the Bank.
