From: Paul Edwards, mutazilah@gmail.com To: Committee Secretary, PJCIS, PO Box 6021, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600, Australia Date: 2021-01-01 Dear Sir, I am writing to you in relation to the "Inquiry into extremist movements and radicalism in Australia". I have personally been called an extremist, a radical and someone who supports terrorism, and being in violation of Australian law, by a very knowledgable Australian friend of mine, so perhaps I can offer some useful insights with first-hand information. I can see from this report: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-09/nsw-albury-man-18-expected-to-be-charged-with-terrorism/12966514 that there is a charge "urging violence against members or groups". Actually I do EXACTLY THAT. E.g. in 2002/2003 I urged the Australian government (and the US government) to take immediate military action against Saddam (member) and all his armed supporters (group), and to do this even if he handed over all his WMD. To me, it was an OPPORTUNITY to liberate 27 million Iraqis from state-slavery that included institutionalized rape and institutionalized tongue-chopping (I can show you video of this if you want, so that you can see exactly what the "anti-war" stood for). BUT SO DID JOHN HOWARD and 50% of Australians. If you're going to have such a broad law, you should literally be charging the 50% of Australian citizens (like me) who supported the 2003 Iraq war, and you should ESPECIALLY charge John Howard who actually ORDERED that action. I am just a keyboard warrior. HE actually TOOK ACTION. Regardless, I am happy to share a jail cell with John Howard, my hero. The other thing that that Australian is being charged with is "advocating terrorism". I'm not sure you actually have a good definition of "terrorism". States are an artificial construct. When Australia was only occupied by Aboriginals, and there was no such thing as a government, what happened when one Aboriginal killed another Aboriginal? That was violence used outside of state control, so was that terrorism? Regardless, let's say that the state (even a dictatorship) is the only entity authorized to use force. Does that mean that the US War of Independence was a terrorist event, and that on the 4th July, the Americans glorify a terrorist action? And if the Iraqi people revolted against their dictator Saddam, as they did in 1991, was that a terrorist action too? Many many people said that John Howard invading Iraq in 2003 was state-terrorism. Nelson Mandela was a terrorist too. Yet he's held in the highest esteem, with almost no-one at all calling him out for his terrorism. This fundamental insanity in the world needs to be honestly and openly reconciled. Yasser Arafat was another terrorist who also got a Nobel Peace Prize. I have made an attempt to sort out "world insanity", and if you have time, you can read all about it on my blog and in my twitter feed and on my websites. None of these things are confidential and I'm happy for them to be published: http://mutazilah.org/enlight.htm http://www.liberatorswithoutborders.org/ http://twitter.com/kerravon86 http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/ I am willing to take the risk of Islamic terrorists, or the Iranian government, or the Thai government, tracking me down and slitting my throat. I'm not totally a keyboard warrior. What would be really good is if someone could tell me which bits of my writing break Australian law, and I will censor those bits, and then campaign for Australian law to be changed so that I can republish those bits, perhaps with a Bill of Rights that guarantees freedom of speech. Please note that although I constantly advocate violence worldwide, I personally am just a keyboard warrior. I am unwilling to even politely ask people smoking outside my window to please stop doing that. I instead choose to close my window permanently, much to my wife's frustration. She is also frustrated when I propose as a solution to this problem to change NSW law to allow me to shoot anyone I see smoking outside my window (thus violating my human rights). I am unwilling to have any sort of confrontation with my smoking neighbors. The most I am willing to do is to look directly at them for a couple of seconds, then look away in disgust. I have advocated changing NSW/Australian law here: https://twitter.com/kerravon86/status/1341540691491446784 that would allow me to personally shoot smokers, but obviously that's just hyperbole, and that what I REALLY want is to be able to ring 000 to report a human rights violation, have the police arrest him, let him have his day in court, and then have him executed by firing squad. That is LITERALLY what I want to see happen when someone dares violate my human rights. Note that I don't own a gun, and I recognize that Australian law protects HIM, the human rights violator, so I will never personally take action to protect myself, I will just reconcile myself to the fact that not every human rights violation is recognized or punished. But I like the IDEA of "open season" on human rights violators, whether it be the Iranian dictator or a smoker outside my window. I watch this in both cases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRXLBNZFrwU I am honestly reporting what is in my brain. Perhaps some people would call that a mental disorder, or sociopath or psychopath, but I don't. I care very deeply about the VICTIMS of smokers, not just myself. I would have all rapists executed too, to ensure that there are no more VICTIMS of rape by that rapist. Another thing I would like to point out is that as a child, my mother forced me to go to Sunday School (Christianity) where, among other things, I was forced to sing a song glorifying genocide. When God allegedly deliberately wiped out the entire human population with the exception of Noah's family. The song goes "the animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah". That's all I can remember. How is any of this actually legal? Why doesn't the Australian government mandate updating the bible to remove the story of Noah? In addition it could remove the bits authorizing slavery. And in Chapter 1, Verse 1, it could be updated to say "Slavery is bad. Racism (including anti-white racism) is bad. Communism is bad.". That's just for starters. Then when we move on to the Koran, we could remove 33:50 which says that God says it is OK to rape your slaves. This has caused real harm with ISIS reviving slavery and rape (LEGAL in their state, and they DID technically have a state for some time, even if it was never UN-recognized). The swamp needs to be drained. It's not me who is the extremist, it's anyone who hands a bible or Koran to someone under the age of 18. I can handle freedom of speech for people over 18 allowing them to advocate the rape of slaves, but children should not be deliberately indoctrinated with this poison. Also note that although I am white (English/Scottish descent), my wife is from the Philippines, so I am not in the same category as that other white Australian who allegedly wants to kill anyone who doesn't LOOK like him. I'm more inclined to kill anyone who doesn't share the same IDEOLOGY as me. Note that my personal ideology roughly equates to what I would call "Australian values". But I consider that Australians who didn't support liberating 27 million Iraqis from state-slavery to be un-Australian, even though they were 50% of the country. But no, I am not making any concrete attempt to start some sort of civil war that would wipe out 50% of Australians, including members of my own family. I just attempt to verbally shame them, which, when it comes to family, can really upset them. That's why I don't talk to my family much, I prefer talking to strangers on the internet, like this guy who I converted from an enemy into my best ally: https://sabodog.livejournal.com/2291.html That's all I can think of. Please feel free to contact me for any futher clarification or discussion. By the way, my profession is "software engineer" not in any way related to politics or human rights or military or guns. What I know about politics or warfare I learnt from reading and discussion on the internet, and news and interviews with military experts.
