Overnight in Woollahra in Sydney's eastern suburbs, a car fire-bombed, "Kill ISRAIEL" (can't even spell) graffiti on a house wall, other anti-Semitic graffiti, and damage to at least two homes.

Time to fence off suburbs, deploy armed troops, dogs, set up checkpoints.
Obviously.

Most of the new communities that are being built seem to be gated communities with security cameras, etc. In Malibu at Latigo Beach they have armed security guards stationed at the security gate 24 hours per day.

Australia can go the same route, with gated communities with armed guards stationed at the security gates like Latigo Beach.

And luxury condominiums such as Empire West where Suzanne Pleshette lived all have security guards and doormen 24 hours per day.

Salute,

Well what they're doing now isn't working.
If serious pro active measures aren't taken my streets will soon resemble a Middle Eastern warzone, with people dying.

I met the guy who wrote "Amistad" and he was a poor Black man from South Africa, I met him at a party for the AADA students in Los Angeles, he said in South Africa during Apartheid that it was against the law for him to attend parties with White people. He earned enough money from the script to buy 5 McDonald's restaurants in South Africa and he hired his family members to work at his restaurants. Imagine going from being poor and Black during Apartheid and then having Spielberg make your movie, it was a miracle for the poor guy, he is living the dream.

And in America we have the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and we have the Civil Rights Act of 1968, and all men are created equal in America, we need to have equal access to Business Loans with the SBA, etc.

Bambu, it is enough to have security guards and cameras, etc, there is no need to give up your good human rights. Latigo Beach, and Empire West, are great, there is no need to give up human rights. And the Jews are safe here in California, etc, Spielberg lives in Santa Monica, it is safe here.

Salute,

More vile graffiti has appeared in Sydney:

DT: Spotted at an Arncliffe construction site, the graffiti, addressed to Sydney's Jewish community, claimed "Hitler was right".

"You! Yes-you," the graffiti read.

The scribble also claimed "all banks are owned by Jews" and "Westfield = Jews".


#####
--------

Arncliffe is in Sydney's south.

Westfield-

Sir Frank P. Lowy, age 94, is an Australian-Israeli businessman of Jewish Slovak-Hungarian origins and the former long-time chairman of Westfield Corporation.

Known for...Co-founder Westfield.

Gotta love Westfield.
Wonderful malls.

Australia has always seemed like a lovely place with friendly people, one would never think of Australia as being antisemitic.

Do not let a few bad apples with spray paint upset you. The good guys need to simply cover over the graffiti quickly. And establish peace with public sentiments like we do here in Anaheim with "Friendship Plaza" at City Hall, and our City Motto is "City of Kindness" and Disneyland is "The Happiest Place on Earth."

And the Anti Defamation League needs to be active in Australia, etc.

I was told by Dr Debra Tolar in community college that Australia is the best place for American Men to go to find wives, she said the women are open and honest in Australia and she said that the women will let the man know if she likes him.

Also, Australia can be a nice safe spot for the refugees from Ukraine, etc.

Also, warn the people of Australia just to say NO to meth and to fentanyl, etc. Stick with safe stuff like coffee, and wine, and avoid the illegal drugs.

And it is good that Australia is expanding trade with Latin America.

Salute,

Tony V.

Australia is not anti-Semitic, but some people within its borders are.
These people need to be dealt with by the authories.
Australia has strict laws about such activity.
These laws need to be diligently enforced by the cops and govts, with measures including prison sentences and deportation.

Yes, I did.
I'd still go with the tight security, to catch in a trap the culprits.

Eastern suburbs were last night swarming wiith cops.
Foot patrols, vehicle patrols. The task force set up after the previous similar
attacks has seen its numbers rise.

Yes, the politicians need to denounce the hatred, and the authorities can do their part.

I never met Spielberg but I saw his office at Universal in the Black Tower, I watched Ron Howard as he was filming "Apollo 13" at Universal, but I have never been able to meet Spielberg.

$750 Million in incentives is being given to filmmakers in California from Newsom, and we need to use it to make "Beach Blanket Bingo" movies in Malibu, and they can make "Rockford Files" television shows at Paradise Cove, etc. "MASH" was shot in Malibu. And people can film in Anaheim, and City Hall is just 10 miles away from Chapman film school. Plus, I have my movie script that I want to get made, etc.

I am optimistic about a bright future for Anaheim as Billions of dollars are invested here.

Meanwhile, on the issue of fires, we need to bring in the Basques with sheep, cattle, and goats, etc, to eat the vegetation to reduce fire danger, and then we get ice cream, cheese, rack of lamb, fillet mignon, etc.

Also Bambu, you need undercover cops to do reconnaissance and to find out who the bad guys are. Undercover cops are important, and also in the high schools. David Cassidy made a good movie about an undercover cop at a high school, in 1978, he won an Emmy award nomination, I think the title was "A Chance at Life." Undercover cops are important.

And just imagine if Mayor Bass put all of the homeless people to work with Black Diamond Pavers and Landscaping, laying cobblestones, and putting in fountains, etc, and beautifying Los Angeles, a lot of good things can happen.  ( Right now one has to pay union dues to the Laborer's Union and then get on a waiting list to work, I wrote to Mayor Bass and suggested that we by-pass this and allow workers to go straight to work doing labor with Black Diamond Pavers and then they can pay the union dues when able. And the workers can help to beautify Los Angeles with cobblestones and fountains and with nice landscaping, etc. The City of Los Angeles can have beautification projects done by Black Diamond Pavers, etc, with formerly homeless people as labor, etc. )

Salute,

Tony V.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/opinion/democrats-republicans-electoral-college.html

Blue state drain could result in fewer electoral votes for Dems, because its not turning red states purple.  Video suggests that governors and legislatures of states like NY and CA will have to make their states costs of living more affordable if they want to stop this hemorrhage.  (video will play, even with paywall, just click the play arrow and you can see partial screen and hear audio)
