Pro-war, pro-coal Australian PM Kevin Rudd "threw tantrum" in Occupied Afghanistan over a HAIRDRYER (!)

Bellaciao readers would be amused to learn that warmonger, Obama lackey and ferociously pro-war, pro-coal, anti-environment Australian PM Kevin Rudd reportedly “threw a tantrum” over a HAIRDRYER while in Occupied Afghanistan with Australian troops recently.

PM Kevin Rudd recently sent a further 500 troops to Occupied Afghanistan to continue the war against the Pathans and other Afghans (50% kids, 75% women and kids) that racist, colonialist, imperialist Britain started 160 years ago with the First Afghan War (1838-1842) - despite the reality that most Australians oppose this escalation of Australian participation in the Afghan War (see “Australians oppose extra Afghan troops - poll “: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/new... ).

PM Rudd’s appalling “do nothing”, business as usual greenhouse gas pollution policies – if applied globally – would condemn 10 billion people to death - in a massive Climate Genocide (see Climate criminal Australia threatens Planet . Australia’s pro-coal Emissions Trading Scheme”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/303... ; “Save 2 billion Indians from US & West Climate Genocide by 3-fold Badge, Credo & Accountability strategy”: http://gideon.sulekha.com/blog/post... ).

According to (ultraconservative) Australian National Party backbencher MP John Cobb, who was recently in Afghanistan on a defence visit, Australian troops in Occupied Afghanistan were full of stories of a Prime Ministerial temper tantrum: "Basically, he couldn’t hook his hairdryer up and he chucked a temper tantrum or something. If it’s true, it’s amazing that you’d have a tantrum over your make-up when people are doing serious things over there" (see “PM “threw tantrum” with troops “: http://www.theage.com.au/national/p... ).

Extreme right wing, pro-war, pro-coal PM Kevin Rudd has been given various nicknames e.g. Religious Right Rudd (R3) (this Bush-ite warmonger is invariably seen weekly on TV coming out of Church), KRudd (pro-coal and hence pro-pollution), KFC Rudd (KFC looks fingerlickin’ good but too much isn’t good for you), Kevin 07 (his nickname in the 2007 election year that ended with his election as PM), and now Kevin 05 (because of his Planet-threatening proposal to reduce Australia’s world-leading "annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution" by a derisory "5% off 2000 GHG pollution by 2020").

KRudd and Kevin 05 indeed - Australia’s "annual per capita Domestic and Exported GHG pollution" is currently 54 tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year (as compared to 2.2 for India - where the World needs to urgently head according to former UK Chief Scientist Professor Sir David King). However under the Australian Government’s recent proposed "5-25% off 2020 value of Domestic GHG pollution by 2020", Australia’s estimated "annual per capita Domestic and Exported GHG pollution" will only fall to 44-49 tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year by 2020 (see Climate criminal Australia threatens Planet . Australia’s pro-coal Emissions Trading Scheme”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/303... ).

KRudd recently had a similar tantrum that reduced an airforce air hostess to tears over non-supply of the vegetarian dish of his fancy (see ”Kevin Rudd loses temper over in-flight meal - reducing a young female RAAF cabin attendant to tears”: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/st... ).

Of course Bush-ite KRudd’s major crimes are vastly more serious than his temper tantrums: he recently announced a further 500 more Australian troops for Occupied Afghanistan (a war that a majority of Australians oppose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern... ) and he religiously ignores the horrible realities of the Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide in which he has made nearly all Australians complicit: post-invasion non-violent excess deaths 3.2 million; post-invasion violent deaths up to 4 million; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 2.3 million; refugees 3-4 million - an Afghan Genocide according to Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see ”Obama’s Afghan War. Who is the worse terrorist, Obama or Osama?”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/295... ).

However the major crime of Australian PM KRudd is looming Climate Genocide to which White Australia is a major contributor – a catastrophe that will kill an estimated 10 billion people this century due to unaddressed, man-made global warming.

What can decent, pro-Peace, pro-Planet people do about war criminal and climate criminal Australia and like countries?
Would you buy soap made in Auschwitz? If you knowingly and avoidably buy goods and services from climate criminal Australia and like climate criminal countries you are contributing to a looming Climate Genocide that, according to eminent UK climate scientist Professor James Lovelock FRS, will kill all but about 1 billion of our fellow human beings this century.
