SYRIA – What the Deployment of Russian S-300 Air Defense Systems to Syria Really Means

OFF TOPIC
Australia is preparing to outlaw holocaust denial. Attorney general George Brandis will create a new crime of “advocating genocide,” which will carry a sentence of seven years.

Mr. Brandis says he conceived his “advocating genocide” law in consultation with “leading members of the Jewish community.”

Therefore, things like questioning Israeli atrocities, or questioning the World War II “holocaust” will be considered “advocating genocide.”
“In my view holocaust denial would be caught by the proposed language of the new law.”

Also in Australia, a new law will let the government imprison for life anyone who prosecutors say might commit “terrorism.” (The operative word is might.)
After inmates finish their sentences for terrorism-related acts (which can be any act at all), Australian judges can order inmates held in prison indefinitely.
This goes beyond even the USA, which does not allow prisoners on U.S. soil to be held after their sentences end.
George Williams is the dean of the University of New South Wales law school. Mr. Williams, a “human rights” lawyer, admits that the new measure will negate fundamental human rights, but he calls this a “necessary evil.”
