    Default Mandarin speaking Kevin Rudd (aussie pm)= Commie?

    When i searched the web to listen how fluent Rudd's mandarin was in youtube, i came across alot of dissenting comments from the posters, calling him a commie and such.

    I wonder what's the views of the ppl in TWC on this matter, as I find it disturbing.

    Why can't he speak mandarin?!
    It just a language...
    It's always good to know multiple languages if you're a head of state!

    probably because he is indeed a pretty reputable scholar on China. But what's ironic about calling him a commie is that he is actually not that friendly with the Chinese government today,even though he is a fan of Chinese history. I mean this guy's graduation thesis was on democratizing china...how much do you think he likes the communist government in china right now.

    i would say those comments are just dumb people not thinking about an issue for more than 2 seconds. Or just typical internet trolling, since we are all anonymous, there is no consequence literally for saying stupid and outrageous things unlike in real life.

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

    Kevin Rudd yes,is a manderin speaking,self admitted socialist who wants an Asian Union & his Dept is a memeber of the Fabian Society.But who cares, he has no real power anyway like all PM's.If he doesn't do what he is told he will be sacked by the Queen.Like most globalists they do not work for the people or their nation,they are to busy(like Obama) selling off the people's resources,putting the people in more debt so they can be controlled,raping & pillaging the third world and making sure they don't industrialise,ever!and putting on a show while slowley sticking a hot poker up the people's behind.It has been this way since Plato.Just read some of the Quotes of the American Pres ,they tell you the whole story.



    Politics is for the idiot,a punch & judy for the masses.They all have no "real" power.The last person who thought he did ,got a bullet.

    Here,i'll give you a few : (in no order)

    Dwight D. Eisenhower

    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

    If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order

    "In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?"

    "We are tired of aristocratic explanations in Harvard words."

    Theodore Roosevelt

    "A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues"

    "Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people."

    "No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse."

    Abraham Lincoln

    "Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure"

    "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world"

    "Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties"

    Andrew Jackson

    I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.

    "In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges."

    "It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes."

    "Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit."

    "Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated."

    "There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses."

    "Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that... the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations."

    JFK (The last president)

    "The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings."

    "Things do not happen. Things are made to happen."

    "War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today."

    "We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth"

    "We must use time as a tool, not as a couch."

    But the Governer-General can.

    Rudd came on our TV show on Sunday morning BBC One he made it quite clear Australia wants to be a republic. I believe the referendum failed since no one could agree on what to replace the Queen with rather than the idea of getting rid of her being unattractive. I could be wrong though.

    Yea Gaugh Whitlam got sacked by the Governor General in 1975.
    Minister for Home Affairs of the Commonwealth v Zentai [2012] HCA 28 per Heydon J at [75]

    Analysis should not be diverted by reflections upon the zeal with which the victors at the end of the Second World War punished the defeated for war crimes. The victors were animated by the ideals of the Atlantic Charter and of the United Nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was about to peep over the eastern horizon. But first, they wanted a little hanging.
