      But the folks in Oz gave up most of their best defense guns, so they should be safe and free right now! No problems at all. :lol:

      • Anonymous

        Right, so Australian’s having guns would stop this? Like Sandy Hook? Like Sept11? Like Boston…shall I keep going? Having guns is one thing, being a coward and not using them to stop a tyrannical Govt (as the 2nd ammendment allows) is another. Seems like the more guns you have the less safe you are? And I don’t think you’re in any position to comment or judge, considering that the USA is in meltdown….

        • HfjNUlYZ

          One person with a gun would have changed that situation. A government that does not trust its population with guns is more scary than gun ownership.
          When Hitler marched into a country all private guns were confiscated on pain of death.
          Terrorists and criminals will always get guns. Gun ownership should be easy and people should learn how to use them to protect themselves.
          Chicago has onerous gun laws, and huge crime rate. One county mandates gun ownership, almost no crime. Go figure, it’s not hard even for the politically incorrect!
          The Tassie “massacre” WAS a black op. Head shots, firing from the hip, even sharp shooting brigadier says he wished he had that much skill!
          Anyway, thanks Labor Party, you brought in 60,000 voters, unlike previous migrants who worked hard and fitted in, these lot go on welfare, have 10 kids and bring them up to hate us.
          Anyone who says THIS is a false flag is totally insane.
          Australia is going down the tubes, political “correctness” and cultural relativity, Socialism from both sides of politics, it’s “unsustainable”.
          60,000 illegal immigrants on the dole, living in state-provided housing, with 60,000+ homeless in Sydney! What a joke.
          The religion of peace has struck again, as it does in the UK, Nigeria, Philippines, most European countries, basically everywhere it exists.
          Happy Christmas Australia, (from a pensioner who paid taxes from 14 years, and now gets nothing because he saved and invested), forced to live in third world just to exist (the MEAN test counts ASSETS not INCOME).

      False flag.

      • JoJoAus

        why is EVERYTHING a false flag to you people! It just sounds silly to immediately assume false flag. Your opinion is based on what, may I ask?

          Who are “you people”? And your’s is based on what may I ask?

          The “you people” I assume is 95% of the posters here. Any kind of tragedy is considered a false flag….EVERY ONE!

      Honesty wish i could put some of them ali bah bahs to sleep.
      Complete nonsense!

    • Geoffrey James

      I wonder what are the real motives behind this attack?

      - After 9/11 in the USA they then introduced strict laws which were aimed at capturing terrorist before they attack.
      However ever since 9/11 the USA is now looks more like a Nanny State.

      You can bet that after this event that Australia’s security level, may be reviewed and that Australians will be
      asked to give up some of their freedom’s to keep people safe.

    • 4Givn

      3 hostages have escaped now

    • NWO for Dummies.

      false flag just like bali bombing just like port arthur massacre just like london bombing just like sandy hook just like 911 just like scotland pre school massacre just like everything else these zionist insane people do and do and do and do and do and do and do and do and do over and over

      there are no terrorists unless it involves israel politics and mossad all controlled by bankers with a power trip on their minds

    • Island Girl

      Up to 15 people being held, five hostages have escaped, no incident at Opera House, no known bombs planted around Sydney…fear is not something Westerners should breed.

    • Pink Slime

      LOL! Australian liberals and their politicians want you to live with these people to get to know them better. All I can say those people in the cafe are getting a first hand look.

      You Aussies ought to be OUTRAGED that your politicians have BETRAYED YOU!

      They came for your guns, they then came for your rights, now they SET YOU UP WITH THE MUSLIMS.

    • AUSSIEwill

      Not believing that this is genuine… ho hum.

    • CosmicKiwiPerth

      We have been expecting something to happen for some time in Australia. A lot of young Moslems have flown from Australia to fight in Syria. They got us in Bali in @ 2002 with 88 Australians killed out of 202 in the Bali bombings. It will only get worse for Australia with Perth being so close to Indonesia. This is NOT a false flag event. Tis called a lone wolf gunman with an agenda linked to Islamic extremests. If he threatens to kill anyone the snipers will probably take him out.

      • Anonymous

        Bali – FF. Port Arthur – FF. Hilton’78 – FF. Maybe you’ll get an RFID chip, then you’ll feel safe?

    • Zabwe

      What a mixed up society- a far cry from the images you sent out on the voyagers into deep space that portray a world of happy families, a civilised society and an intelligent way of life…get a grip on your rationality and intelligence for once… shame on these people…and the meek shall inherit…what?

    • Anonymous

      Is this a “drill” with actors, or is this the real deal? Given what has gone on in past “events” its prudent not to trust what we read, see, and hearing coming from the msm, and much of what comes out of alternative news as well. What’s going on in Syria while your attention is being “diverted”, hmmm? Nothing is as it appears.

    • Lee

      Seige over TFFT
      A serious terrorist would go for a brewery not a chocolate shop

      Although The siege would of been over before morning smoko!
      I hope all those guys held hostage get overtime for their shocker of a day. />

      I still dont like Lindt chocolate
      this will not make it taste better so stop the” twofacebook” Shiite :roll:

    • che

      hmm. lots of 7 numerlogy today .. all day on the 7 news.. 16 hours= 7
      2014= 7
      a guess 5+2 victims 7
      adress:259=7

      and you cant forget the 9s
      9:45 attack lindt cafe since 1845

      2014 year of 7 and neptunes next year 8 and Saturn
      but there has been alot of 7s this year.. like the 777 planes.. IMf lagarde speach about 7
      so a wild guess the police drill before the event then we have the exact same as 9/11 or 7/7 keep people in fear and pass some new insane laws

      777 most basic is illuminated form a light but its more like The tarot card magician

      What happened in Canada was an act of fanaticism and not terrorism. If anything it was utilized by the Harper government to warrant a return of our troops to the middle East.

      In the last month I have seen too many of my friends being deployed and I would rather see them home.

    • Karl

      Almost nothing in this report is correct. In fact, much of it seems to be made up.

      The flag is not that of any terrorist organisation. It is a generic Muslim flag that contains the Shahada – the central testimony of the Islamic faith. Anyone who’s ever seen the national flag of Saudi Arabia (or been to a mosque even) would recognise it. Translated, it says, “There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God.”

      One gunman.

      No suicide vests.

      No bombs.

      17 hostages.

      Three dead, including the gunman.

      Isolated incident.

      Gunman not connected with any terrorist organisation, however he was considered dangerous, violent and mentally ill. He’s so well known to police and public that he had his own Wikipedia entry well before the siege occurred.

      And we won’t be listening to any Americans saying we need to arm ourselves with guns. We have a far more peaceful society than you and it’s a direct result of our gun control laws. No guns = waaaaaay fewer people getting killed. Educate yourselves. It’s just common sense.

      The cafe is a couple of blocks from my office and all the florists have sold out of flowers around here. Huge tributes in Martin Place where the siege occurred. Terribly sad. Terribly tragic. It’s just horrifying.

      But your story is just rubbish.

      • NWO for Dummies.

        by peaceful I think you mean silent, dumb and coerced obedience – but you keep thinking peaceful. that’s what the media has told you to think – don’t have any independent thought ever that would requires you to have a personality of your own independent of the propaganda and brainwashinf….sorry I meant the media :wink:

    • NWO for Dummies.

      Abbott was behaving really guilty about something just a couple of days before this. I was very puzzled by it at the time………hmmm

      Lets wait and see what comes of it. Do they want to send troops to the mid east yet again perhaps and this is to garner public support just like the ff bali bombing did like well-oiled clockwork back in 2003 and just like gun loving australians gave up their guns without a murmor after ff port arthur – again like well oiled clockwork.

      ISIs is the illuminati god or something – they like to hide things in plain sight so they can reinforce their belief about how smart they are and how dumb we are so therefore they are entitled to enslave us.

      • NWO for Dummies.

        did the gunman talk to the shop manager and a lawyer spilling the beans and so both had to be eliminated as well as the gunman – cops go in guns blazing killing all three……

        • NWO for Dummies.

          A preplanned meeting of a whole host of government organizations involved with “terrorism” and “security” will be meeting TODAY, just one day after the massacre BY POLICE in Martin Pl.

          Am I making myself clear here. Oh and they will be having a minutes silence to remember the dead at the hands of POLICE yesterday in Martin Pl. (though they wont say “AT THE HANDS OF POLICE) am I making my self clear yet?

          If not go back to sleep and enjoy your enslavement.

          For the rest , know that this was a planned operation which was rehearsed 6 weeks ago and carried out to bring in new draconian legislation concerning spying on citizens especially via the internet.

          CASE CLOSED

        • NWO for Dummies.

          sorry that should read “PREPLANNED meeting” – in capitals….just to make the point.
