The following was posted to the web site of Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Bob Carr. It is ‘awaiting moderation’. Any response from Bob Carr will also be posted here.

Senator Bob Carr,

As Susan Dirgham pointed out above, 1.4 million Iraqis have fled to Syria as a result of the illegal wars against Iraq in 1991 and 2003 in which Australia shamefully participated. This is on top of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees who had already fled into Syria. The toll from war and and starvation and disease from sanctions against Iraq in which Australia also participated are at least many hundreds of thousands and probably exceed one million.

When are those Australian political leaders, whose actions helped to cause that terrible human toll, going to be held to account?

Why, instead of expelling Syria’s ambassador and imposing sanctions as you did in May, is Australia not sending at least hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid to Syria to help them cope with the refugee crisis which Australia helped to create?

Update, 7.21pm, Tue, 6 Nov, 2012: The above comment is no longer ‘awaiting approval’. It has vanished, in all probability intentionally deleted by Senator Bob Carr. It would appear that Bob Carr has judged real debate and scrutiny of his Government’s actions too high a price to pay to maintain the facade of accountability that he presumably intended to erect when he created Thoughtlines with Bob Carr (aka bobcarrblog.wordpress.com).

I wished the Israeli authorities would just let him leave and live the rest of his life in peace.

The noisiest advocates for laws like this one you refer to tend to come from among the Chosen. They dress it all up as being for everyone but its really only meant for their use.

His audience contains many of the very same people who’d be outraged and vocal about it if they learnt the truth about some of the topics he covers. His interviews give the impression of being “in depth”, but he gatekeeps by careful choice of interviewees and his skill at steering conversations.

My own realisation that Adams is not the “full quid” came when i realised he was simply uninterested in the truth about 9/11 in the months that followed. I corresponded several times with him by email at that time; his replies were cryptic, sufficiently informed to indicate he read my material but never attempting to discuss the truth or admit glaring anomalies which were apparent even in the immediate aftermath of that appalling staged atrocity.

In August 2002, still reeling from the experience of Adams dissembling over 9/11, I heard him devote an entire hour show to interviewing Richard Adams, a Cambridge history professor and author of “Telling Lies About Hitler: The Holocaust, History and the David Irving Trial”.

Phillip Adams was merely a foil for his interviewee’s opinions in the program. Richard Adams was given the opportunity to denigrate David Irving mercilessly. He did so with Phillip ‘s active connivance.

I knew little about Irving or his works at the time, only the basics via the mass media, which were more or less unanimously in asserting that Irving was a notorious, lying, right-wing racist bigot with a vicious streak of Judeophobia – a latter day fascist with a historian’s veneer. But that show piqued my interest. It was so one-sided it made me suspicious. I felt I was listening to barely concealed propaganda. It made me curious to hear the other side of the story.

So I emailed Phillip Adams, pointed out that his interviewwithRichardAdams re Irving was extremely one-sided and suggested he interview David Irving to givethe latter some right of reply. He emailed me back and said he doubted Irving would dare appear on his show. I emailed David Irving, explained the opportunity and asked if he would accept aninvitation to speak on Late Night Live (Phillip Adams’ radio show). He accepted instantly – but remarked he doubted that Phillip Adams would follow through.

I made Phillip Adams aware of Irving’s positive response to the offer of an interview and waited. I sent a reminded. Nothing since.

It was an education for me about Phillip Adams gross dishonesty and the extreme bias of LNL on matters of core concern to Zionists. I note, incidentally, that his 2002 interview with Richard Adams has been repeated frequently over the years. It is still available via the ABC’s website here:

collins piper accuses ben gurion of commissioning the jfk assassination. there’s some good analysis on the flawed stone film, too.

It was not until 2008 after I finally saw the light on 9/11 that I began to take another look at the murder of JFK and have come to see Adams for what he is.
