OutSpace infamous Confucian massively change the circuit of house hold electrical appliances and street lights via Satellite step by step with the pace of their descendant migrating to Australia.
A few of local Chinese with 28-32 teeth are the first victim. The energy bill increase by 25%- 45% once a time. The high voltage and enlarged static electrical field above design is very harmful to health. People will experience tired, fatigue, withered skin color, hair loss and ageing quickly. The extreme cases are that they focus the heavy house hold and street lights electricity fields to kill victims’ Brain and central nerve system. These pains are hard to tell the reason, on or off happened in the old age group and 28-32 teeth group and lead to death early.
Local Australian with 28-32 teeth are the next target of their step by step static electricity field victims. Those household’s energy bill increased with no reason sometimes simply because they have a new Chinese cleaner or Chinese accountant in office or Chinese students.
The Crimer of Confusion changing Electrical appliance circuit is undetectable via Common Technology and Law. But their crime offspring aggressively migrate to Australia as their pioneer and excuses for the above normal knowledge Crime.
One of their Obvious unlawful deeds is Visa Overdue and illegal stay in Australia. Most of them come to Australia from 2005. They are Chinese provided fake Chinese document cheating business visa from Australian China Counsel. After Visa Expired, those previous visa overdue committer achieve legal visa status via spouse visa (most are fake), fake child number balancing visa or something else because current Government never check and through them back on time according to Australia Law. Australia Government won’t put them on the visa deny name list in case future trouble.
The other way of Confucian offspring come to Australia is via Student Visa. They provide fake financial sponsor documents through migration agents cheating for Student Visa. They went to High School, TAFE, TAFE like city Uni and Uni. They have no enough finance backup from family earning easy no tax cash in various retail business even Woolworth harbor them and tolerate their stealing behaviour.
At the same time, those Chinese applied student’s parent accompany visa of which 100% of them working illegally against visa condition. They earn easy no tax cash as cleaners on wheel, massagers or builders to pay rent and tuition fee.
Nearly 80% Chinese migrant family with no investment property certificate would provide accommodation to them even if acknowledge their illegal behaviour and police pressure. Because of unaffordable travel expenses, they can’t come back and renew their Student visa with original fake Financial Sponsor and will stay illegally overdue. High Schools, TAFEs and Uni teachers have no basic law alertness and ignore their illegal status to let share free government service like road, rail and citizen utility rate, council rate and grocery price.
They are peaceful outlook and born to Crime Chinese and Taiwanese (High density of body mass or high BMI). Confucian’s electrical crime won’t stop and hard to detect and the number of their offspring will multiply as many as possible in Australia if Australia Government can’t stick to the Law of punishment, stop education exporting to crime offspring and ACTION. (Rev 12:9)
article 9 states that japanese forces cannot be deployed out of japan. but some exceptions they have made include when they sent peace keeping troops to the middle east to aid the invasion lead by US, then immediately withdrew without any firefights. war isn’t illegal, they just can’t deploy troops which, means that they cannot attack anyone outside of japan
Richard – sorry to have to tell you this but you are WRONG. Please see the officially recognized english translation of Article 9.
The official English translation of the article reads:
