In my travels, I stumbled across the following article written by a tax-funded academic from my own university, USYD, (gasps)... who claims Kevin Rudd was politically assassinated along with JFK not Julia Gillard, but by Jews.
CONSPIRACY THEORY: Jake Lynch blames the Jews for Rudd’s demiseA Sydney University taxpayer-funded academic, Jake Lynch, a UK national operating in Australia, has argued that Jews were responsible for the removal of Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister and his replacement by Julia Gillard.
Lynch, the director of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney, wrote in the ailing online publication New Matilda that Rudd had somehow morphed into being an opponent of Israel and that when he stopped being, “the pro-Israel lobby, the US embassy, the mining industry and the ALP Right” decided to bring him down.
It’s an absurdly cobbled together jackboot of an argument that would do even the most storm-trooperish of online Nazi websites proud.
supposedly progressive, well-paid and pampered academics who’d be horrified at being racists could possibly indulge in such vile hate-mongering. Lynch is clearly not often called to account for his obnoxious views and racial vilification. It’s time he was.
Lynch’s conspiracy theory can be summarised along the lines that as PM Rudd had decided to distance himself from Israel in order to get Australia elected on the Security Council. But before this policy could be enacted, the evil Gillard, a supporter of Israel, made it clear she could be counted on as a true supporter and that then – with the US embassy all the while being briefed – executive action could be taken.
Perhaps with a view to protecting his job, Lynch ultimately frames his fruitcake theory as a question:
So, was there an elaborate plot, involving the active connivance of pro-Israel groups, the US embassy, the mining industry and the Right faction of the ALP, and kept successfully secret, to bring Rudd down and install Gillard in his place? To pose the question in those terms is to stretch credulity, but of course there is a way to answer it, which resonates with abundant life experience, and is encapsulated in another question: cui bono? (VEXNEWS: Who benefits?) Or perhaps we could simply say: Go Figure.
Who benefits from publicly-funded anti-Semites positing absurd conspiracy theories unsupported by anything like evidence or common sense? Certainly not the public.
These sort of stupid, vile conspiracy theories have been used to vilify the Jewish people for many centuries. They were intellectual framework – such as there was – for the Holocaust.

VEXNEWS understands that Lynch had peddled around this opinion piece to a number of websites before the embarrassingly bad New Matilda agreed to publish it. It recently raised a large sum of money in donations to fund its activities. Money wasted.
Peace studies sounds to those who nothing of it like it could only be a good thing and yet with people like Jake Lynch involved, it’s clearly a force for evil, just as he is. Taxpayer-funding for his “Peace” outfit at Sydney Uni needs to be urgently reviewed.

One of his supporters (possibly himself) then chased this up with the following link, as though this were confirmation of some sort.
http://www.hereticpress.com/Dogstar/Religion/Faith.htmlAnd whilst it's true, quite a lot of the information contained within it's pages is indeed factual, the conclusions he arrives at in the process of connecting the dots are baseless, unsubstantiated, subjective at best, leaving little to the reader to ascertain for themselves.
I put this here for some of you to see a worked example of what true heretics write, and sadly whilst so much of what they say can in some cases be factually correct, it's almost always washed out by their inherent need to seemingly destroy themselves in the process of reporting the ultimate truth.
What a shame
