CELEBRITY CRACKS , ADMITS HE IS SUFFERING DARWIN SYNDROME

In an astonishing confession ,  a  famous   American , who wishes to remain anonymous, has  exclusively  told   Little Darwin  that  he has been going crackers.  The weird  revelation  was made  in an email  after  he  read  this blog's  post  about  the Murdoch  media  belittling   latte  drinkers,( See  MURDOCH  BARISTA  BASHING  BRIGADE LASHES LATTE LOVERS  ) .   

 He wrote : "... I'll  have you (Little Darwin )  and Rupert (Murdoch ) know I'm one of   those ' hairy chested  blokes who sticks crackers up  my clacker'  and drinks  latte  too."  Commenting on the belief that glue sniffing is responsible for much  of  the  syndicated  drivel  in  newspapers , he admitted  to  a lot of " legal glue sniffing " when  he was a  patriotic  kid  back in  America  ,  building plastic models of  Jap Zeros and  German  Fokkers.  His  mother  blamed  this  glue  sniffing  for   his wild days in San Francisco,   Berkeley , California ,  and elsewhere ,  resulting  in him receiving   a  high  degree of  fame / notoriety  in  the  US of  A  and elsewhere on  the  globe .

Nowadays  he  resides overseas  and  has  started carrying  worry beads  since   Donald Trump won the  Demented Mr Universe  title from  a strong  field  of   gold  plated  robber  barons  with   hair  and  simian  brain  transplants .

CIA REPORT REVEALS RUSSIA MEDDLING IN AUSTRALIA

WASHINGTON : In shock breaking news , the  CIA  firmly states that Russia  has been  actively  involved  in  an evil,  extensive plan to  destabilise  Australian governments. Part of the dastardly plot involves putting  large  doses of  colourless   clumsy drug  in  government  office  watercoolers throughout  the  land ,  which  causes  people in  high places  to make stupid decisions .

 

This has  already resulted  in  the Country Liberal Party  in the Northern Territory  leasing the Port of Darwin to the Chinese  for  99 years ; plans for the new  ASIO headquarters in  Canberra falling into the hands of the Chinese ; former PM Tony Abbott  knighting   the  Duke of  Edinburgh ; plans for Australia's  French  submarines  being  served up  in  an  Indian  takeaway ;  the nightfoundered  Prime Minister  Malcolm Turnbull  losing  his   thread  on  just about everything , waving his  arms about like  a  pea  and   thimble trickster , all the time talking  about innovation,  jobs  , increasingly  looking and  sounding   like  a  dowfart .

Reds  under  Hanson's Czar-sized  bed ?

Bags of  Russian roubles  were  secretly donated to  the election campaign of  Pauline Hanson's  One  Potion Party  and   the  True Grit  Party    to help  reduce  Australia  to a  babbling , shooting iron-toting  nation  of   Balkan  states , according  to  the  spooks .    

The highly detailed  CIA  report  says President  Putin  personally  ordered the Moscow  Dirty Tricks  Department   to give   Australia the works  after he returned in a filthy mood  after attended the  useless  G20 conference   in Brisbane, during   which  he was  pissed on  by a  smelly  Koala  and  the Rasputin  of  Warringah  threatened  to  tear  off  his   freshly  starched  dicky.  

 

President  elect Donald  Trump reacted to  the release of the startling   CIA report  by tweeting that he is not concerned  as  Austria  is a  tiny European  country  where  men  get  about  in  leather  pants, slap each other on the back   and  do  girly  dances .

ALBINO PHANTOM OF THE OPERA RETURNS TO HEARTY APPLAUSE

Looking  like  a replica  of the  famous  Sydney  Opera  House , this was the scene during construction of Townsville's quayside terminal . However, what  could have been  a  standout , attractive   building   from  afar  turned into  the drab   looking structure, below ,  like  a  seaside shack for the  Addams  Family , the warship HMAS Adelaide  in  the  background .

Now, in a spooky development , something  strange  has happened to the   building ...patches of white  are starting to show  through   the  roofing  as  if  the sweaty  Queen City  of  the North   has  received a  dusting  of  welcome  Christmas  snow  to brighten  up  the  waterfront , where   reporters  fear  to  venture .

ANOTHER INTERESTING GHOST SHIP PASSES THROUGH TOWNSVILLE

You  would  think  that when  a vessel from a company which has been in the  business of   shipping  livestock for  more  than 100 years - the  Finola   of the  Danish  based  Corral Line -  steams into  port  that  the  local media  might be interested . Not  in  Townsville , Sinbad .  The    vessel  stood  out  when our shipping   reporter , lurking about the  waterfront with his mumbling drinking mate , Marlon ,  spotted  the  vessel . The  company  has an  office  in  Sydney  and  North  America. Last year ,    Corral  owner  Bjorn Clausen  received  a Lifetime Achiever's Award  for  his contribution  to the  livestock  export industry  out  of   Australia   going  back  to  1960 .

OTHER   WATERFRONT  SCOOPS

Solar powered lights  have been installed on  the  port breakwater  alterations   to improve navigation safety and the Port Authority, without  public notice,  has been issuing  parking tickets  for   vehicles  near  the  Coast  Guard  area  which , for   years ,  has  been  used by Magnetic Island residents  who   have a   town  car , so  what  is  going on ?  

DEATH OF BRAVE INDONESIAN JOURNALIST ; TIMOR REMEMBERS

The  Timor-Leste Government  received  with    deep regret  news of  the  death of  Dr  George  Junus  Aditjondro  on  December  10 , an  Indonesian academic , activist , researcher  and  journalist , who courageously exposed  conditions  on East  Timor  during  the  long  struggle. He  visited  East Timor  in May 1974 as a correspondent  for the  Indonesian  Tempo magazine   and  over the years  interviewed  political leaders of all persuasions  both  inside and outside the  country .  A Timor -Leste  Government   media  release paid this tribute to Dr Aditjondro :

 

 Following the Santa Cruz massacre in 1991 , he  became a leading figure opposing the Indonesian occupation and was critical in exposing media reporting on Timor and the positions of Indonesian  manipulation. Such  criticism  put Dr. Aditjondro  at considerable risk.

In 1993,  Dr. Aditjondro participated in the Fifth Symposium on East Timor held in Portugal at the University of  Porto, working closely with Timorese activists, several of  whom   are  currently  Ministers of the Sixth  Constitutional Government. He also spent many years in Australia, in self-imposed exile, where he was a  supportive colleague in the activist movement pressing for the self-determination of Timor-Leste. 

On May 20, 2010, the National Parliament of Timor-Leste recognized the contribution of Dr. Aditjondro with the conferral of the Princess Grace of Monaco Medal. Besides his passion for Timor-Leste, Dr. Aditjondro was an unrelenting critic of corruption in Indonesia , a dedicated advocate for  empowering local  communities, a key figure  in nurturing environmental  awareness.  

Government Spokesperson, Minister of State Agio Pereira said: “The voice of Dr George Aditjondro was crucial in challenging the thinking of many in Indonesia  and Australia about  the events occurring in Timor-Leste between 1975 and 1999. Through his commitment to exposing injustice, he undoubtedly played a part in moving us towards the restoration of our independence.  His voice  of  advocacy, warm friendship  towards the Timorese people  and unremitting support in the struggle  will  not be  forgotten."
