Adelaide's crooked cops

I am the sort of person that has a great deal of respect for the police force but some of SAPOL's officers are in positions they really shouldn't be due to seriously losing their shit whilst power tripping, I mean these are the people that probably left high school vowing to destroy society and are now in a position to make your life a nightmare if you piss them off...

I also know from personal experience that SAPOL will do their absolute best to weasel out of dealing with muslims, I have seen young women terrified repeatedly by muslim thugs in the CBD and I was once threatened with death by a stupid muslim dickhead simply for walking past his shitty public housing property. I rarely ever call the police but in these cases I made an exception only to discover that simply mentioning muslims/arabs or anything middle eastern over the phone basically guarantees that SAPOL will try their best to do nothing, at all. Disgusting. 


Islam will slowly turn Adelaide into one of the worst places in Australia, worse even than the extremely dangerous muslim dominated areas of south-western Sydney. The muslims gangs in Adelaide are more dangerous than all other criminal groups in SA put together and have achieved this level of terror in less than a decade. They do not hide from police and they do not hesitate to cause serious physical harm to innocent people for things as stupid as not getting out of their way fast enough on a footpath. I have heard many people say they are the same as other Adelaide criminals and shouldn’t be discriminated against but they are in fact using this type of attitude to their advantage by claiming racism whenever they are singled out for their horrible behavior. They have spread throughout Adelaide stealthily using mosques in the same manner that outlaw motorcycle gangs use clubhouses. Their terrible religion seems to only fuel their extremely aggressive and abusive nature to truly extraordinary levels, it almost seems customer built to enforce oppression.

Adelaide's drink driving judge


You would think that a judge who hit a cyclist whilst driving drunk would lose their job, not in Adelaide, if you know the right people you could probably get away with murder...

Even milk vans aren't safe in Adelaide!

The funniest thing about this incident is that the van was stolen not too far from a police station.

Adelaide's toxic suburbs

I would be willing to bet that there are many more cases of contamination by TCE in Adelaide's suburbs, the amount of residential zones that have been placed right next to industrial zones is something to worry about.

I also believe that there are a shitload more contaminants that haven't been publicly outed yet.

As with everything else, time will tell.

Another O-Bahn incident

I'm thinking that stealing a car and lodging it in the O-Bahn is probably now a rite of passage for bored car thieves.

Adelaide's slippery paved roadways

I am 100% certain that most councils would test the materials they purchase to make sure they are going to be suitable for particular task and I am 100% certain that Adelaide City Council probably left the decision to purchase these pavers to one completely unqualified person... whoops.

Adelaide: A Thematic history

Did you know that SA once went bankrupt building a large (extremely expensive) prison to house criminals that its founders thought, at first, would not be required. The original sentiment was that a city whose inhabitants were comprised mostly of wealthy land owning free settlers should not actually need a large prison as they should be civilized - generally moral and well disposed, the opposite to the convict origins of Australia's other capital cities...

In its early days Adelaide was known to have had bigger opium den flophouses than Melbourne and was known as a place where bizarre beliefs were free to exist in a "Paradise of Dissent".

Adelaide was originally conceived in a jail cell by a man named Edward Wakefield.
Whilst serving time in a British prison for abduction and forced marriage (and alleged rape) of a fifteen year old heiress in order to claim an inheritance expected from her wealthy father, Wakefield devised a venture in which a migrants transportation (an epic sea journey) to the new colony would be covered by the sale of land in the colony, thereby ensuring that inhabitants would be comprised of those wealthy enough to actually become landowners. A fellow founding father of Adelaide, Robert Gouger, whose name is now associated with terrible dining establishments in the CBD was also serving time when he learnt of Wakefields vision…

The most interesting thing that can be gleaned from these historical pieces is that although Adelaide is considered to be settled by free settlers and this gives some people a sense of pride, there exists records from the 1800's specifically mentioning convicts albeit they were not imperial convicts that settled the majority of Australia. Convicts none the less, however.

Back once again...

Nearly a year of inactivity, I thought it would be a good idea to see if Google had decided to scrap this blog due to low web-traffic or zero activity for over a year... & LOL, it's miraculously still here!

I kept an observing SA's news outlets for about a month after I left before simply forgetting the place existed. Due to my shoddy PC backup skills the posts I was planning to write are now lost to the ether so not really sure where to go from here.

I will post a copy of Adelaide's thematic history shortly, which was published by the Adelaide City Council and is an interesting read.

One thing I still haven't managed to put together is an opinion piece, which was the entire point of this blog.

I have however come across a series of opinion pieces written by Malcolm King that I have found to be very honest and truly though provoking; he has basically put across the same sentiment I had in a very original manner. I have seen this poor soul berated mercilessly & ignorantly for his articles published by Indaily and a online forum called Sensational Adelaide, which appears to be a meeting place for the very people who are in inadvertently holding Adelaide behind.

Luckily Adelaide has managed to delay some of the blows to its economy that I had mentioned in the last post.

An extra special thank you to Drewbee for your comment last December, much appreciated :)
