Why This Country is Stuffed.
Want to know why Bad Government get away with being bad? Because the 'silent majority' never say a word between elections.
No matter how bad things get, aside from the odd angry call to talkback radio or letter to the editor, they say nothing. Why don't they protest? This is why.
Spoiled little brats who completely take their freedom for granted, have made 'protest' synonymous with violence, destruction and pepper spray.
People living in dictatorships who see this must surely cringe at these clowns.

I'd have shot one or two of them, had it been my place.
I have never celebrated the death of any person. I do however take considerable pleasure in inflaming Damian Lataan PhD (failed). Five years and counting.
I did take a moment of quiet satisfaction at the despatch of this particularly nasty terrorist boss and especially at the skill deployed to take him out. Just as with Osama bin Laden.
A Nazi in a wheelchair is still a Nazi. A Nazi "spiritual leader" (aren't they all?) is still a Nazi.
Whatever happened to Damian Lataan's "experiment" or "study" into News Ltd bloggers?
Wasn't he always banging on about he was looking into them and how they cross-blog from different sites, and cross-commenting etc?
Was there no grand report at the end? No grand result?
We all want to see the fruits of Damian's hard labour!
Lataan is a complete kook. Do not relate to him at his level. He was a source of amusement for about a dozen or more pro-Israel centre and centre-right posters at a self-styled libertarian blog run by a bloke who also was a bit of a kook.
There is no question he is an antisemite of the worst kind. He ticks off all the boxes. He is obsessed with Jews.
I took an interest in him because of his overt association with Flinders university. I would have taken an interest in him had he had an overt association with any university.
Yeah, I think Lataan is obsessed by Jews.
To the extent that it is unhealthy, and he is not well mentally.
"You cannot hate others without hating yourself"
Come to think of it Lataan PhD(yeah sure, you can kiss than one on the arse) was a source of amusement for about a dozen or more pro-Israel centre and centre-right posters at two self-styled libertarian blogs run by people who were also bits of kooks.
Yes, there is no question he is unbalanced in that obsessed antisemitic way and how neatly he bridges the tiny gap between the extremist left and the extremist right. For him it's all about Jews.
The main interest with him was his overt association with a public university. These things should not go unnoticed and without comment.
Yes, that's very true.
By the way, here is another of Lataan's unhinged comical conspiracy theories out the window.
Lataan goes to all lengths to defend the right-wing regime in Iran from charges of creating a nuclear weapon (because he obviously wants them to nuke the Jews)
He harps on this point almost every post.
Today the IAEA blows him out of the water:
"Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device"
The official IAEA report that fingers Iran can be found here:

You could make a book on which Lataan PhD (fat chance. Even third tier university US studies academics aren't that stupid) nutcase theory takes the cake as the lamest fuckbrained opinion in the entire lunatic fringe.
He's a 9/11 truther of course from the very start and remains so to this day. He uses his claimed qualification as an "aeronautical engineer" as authority for his claim that Muslims could not have been in control of those planes.
He disputes that Dr Raphael Cilento ( a notorious and well documented Australian antisemite) may well have been motivated by antisemitism when making decisions as UN refugee commissioner in 1949, on the grounds that even though Cilento was a known fascist and pro-Axis agitator, he was still not an antisemite because Mussolini had Jewish supporters in the 1920's.
He claimed repeatedly and at length that Osama bin Laden not only was not responsible for 9/11 but probably didn't exist. He was a creature of the US propaganda machine. Likely he claims this, or some variation, to this day.
Which one of these is the most fucked in the head?
I could go on.
Lataan is a parody of himself. He is of no interest other than as an illustration of how cut snake mad academic types can get and why they have to be watched. Who cares about some lone nut case in the Adelaide hills so long as they are not suddenly shaving their body hair? Those hills are full of them.
If their is no longer an association with Flinders University then Lataan should be of no interest to anyone.
As Tim Blair said. He's the stupidest man in the blogosphere.
As you can see Lataan has attracted an even broader range of opinion than those blogs I mentioned and more recent.
From 2008

Loking through those excellent comments none of them was mine. I made one post and that was about Flinders University.
Looks to me like three years on Damian is trying to find a new home.
Some more excellent comments from 2009.

Just two years? That can't be right.
The best comment of the lot was this:
"Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience."
YT
As far as I know he is no longer taking up space at Finders and they are no longer posting on his blog. That makes Lataan irrelevant.
In 2009 Damian was trying to take up residence at Tim Blair's. He does that. He will move in here if you let him. Trust me with this.
