Hello you stupid racist drunk India calling

What the Indian call centre staff are really told about Australians

• Indian call centres get culture training
• Told Australians are dumb, drunk, racist

"Just stating the facts, guys. Australia is known as the dumbest continent . . . so speak slowly" - CALL CENTRE TEACHER

INDIAN call centres are teaching staff Australia is the world's "dumbest continent" where people "drink constantly" and are "quite racist".

Staff taught "how to act Australian" are also told to "speak slowly" to customers on the other end of the phone line because they tend to be technologically "backwards".

Indian-based telephone spruikers and helpline operators are also warned that Australians are "touchy" about their pets.

They are also instructed it's OK to hang up on Australians who use the "preferred term for us" - "brown bastards".

The revelations have caused a stir in the US over cultural stereotyping after they appeared in the reputable news magazine Mother Jones.

One of the magazine's writers, journalist Andrew Marantz, spent weeks undertaking training in India with locals at an organisation called the Delhi Call Centre.

"For three weeks, a culture trainer will teach us conversational skills, Australian pop culture, and the terms of the mobile phone contracts we'll be peddling," he says. "Our first job at DCC will be to interrupt Australians at dinner and ask them to switch phone providers."

Marantz told The Sunday Mail he undertook the investigation last year, when there was some publicity about Indian students in Australia facing violent attacks.

The training program taught employees about conversational skills and Australian pop culture in the hope that they would build a rapport with the person they were trying to sell to.

In "dissecting" the Australian psyche in 20 minutes, the teacher told the class, "Just stating the facts, guys. Australia is known as the dumbest continent. Literally, college was unknown there until recently, so speak slowly".

"Technologically speaking, they're somewhat backward, as well. The average person's mobile would be no better than, say, a Nokia 3110 classic."

That revelation "drew scoffs from around the room".

"Australians drink constantly," the teacher warned. "If you call on a Friday night, they'll be smashed - every time.

"Oh, and don't attempt to make small talk with them about their pets, OK? They can be quite touchy about animals."

When one call centre student asked what kind of people lived in Australia, the teacher replied: "Let's admit: they are quite racist. They do not like Indians."

She continued: "Their preferred term for us is . . . 'brown bastards'."

America’s welfare supporting poverty

Currently in the United States of America, the welfare system is set up in such a manner that it is supporting a ‘minority’ group.

In Australia the term ‘dole’ is a colloquial term used to describe a person who is on government assisted benefits whilst looking for work. The term ‘dole bludger’ is used to described a person who is on benefits and may have no intention of finding work.

In the United States, one can receive government of $950 per month per child of one is from an African-American background. If a family is to have 4 children whilst on benefits, then the government assistance is close to $4000 per month clear (non taxed).

As of July 2011, the salary rate of an automotive factory worker can range from US$ 18,170 – 45,619.

A family with 4 children can have $48,000 per year from the government for not working.

A much better proposition, than working for a living in a blue collar job.

Sociologists indicate that this kind of welfare has detrimental effects on the community, and the individuals are generally caught up in the poverty cycle once they have entered it.

Revealed: The real winners of Gillard's carbon price plan

• Demand for accountants will surge in year ahead
• Lawyers set to profit from legislation challenges
• Big banks will trade carbon permits from 2015

BIG banks, accountants and lawyers are among the big winners to cash in on the carbon plan, as companies wrestle with reporting requirements arising from the tax.

Research by IBIS World shows the demand for accountants will surge by 3.4 per cent in the next year because of the Government’s clean action plan, The Australian reported.

The research shows that demand for accounting and business advisory services will boom over the next five years, as businesses try to adapt their practices to “mitigate the downside - or capitalise on the upside of the new legislation".

Financial services firms are also likely to profit from the overhaul of the tax system announced as part of the carbon plan.

Banks will be involved in trading carbon permits when emissions trading starts in 2015, and will develop new products to help polluters reduce their carbon exposure.

Australian Bankers' Association chief executive Steven Munchenberg said the Government's carbon price was "essentially creating a new market".

"We would therefore expect to see a range of instruments developed to help companies manage their carbon exposure," he said.

Lawyers will also benefit from the boom, with Ibis predicting demand for services to rise by 3.8 per cent.

Big law firms are set to be major winners if energy-intensive companies try to challenge the legislation.

theaustralian.com.au 15 Jul 2011

The political and business community are essentially the same people who work together with the law makers and other top business executives to make laws that are only beneficial to themselves.

This comes at great cost to the general populous at large, and is a direct assault of robbing them of their personal savings, just to make ends meet.

The politics is to have a society with two classes of individuals where the majority of the middle class will be dissolved into the lower class.

Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered

From the article:

A group of influential conservative members of the behemoth social media site Digg.com have just been caught red-handed in a widespread campaign of censorship, having multiple accounts, upvote padding, and deliberately trying to ban progressives. An undercover investigation has exposed this effort, which has been in action for more than one year.

“The more liberal stories that were buried the better chance conservative stories have to get to the front page. I’ll continue to bury their submissions until they change their ways and become conservatives.”
-phoenixtx (aka vrayz)

Digg.com is the powerhouse of social media websites. It is ranked 50th among US websites by Alexa (117th in the world), by far the most influential social media site. It reached one million users in 2007 and likely has more than tripled that by this point. Digg generates around 25 million page views per month, over one third of the page views of the NY Times. Front page stories regularly overwhelm and temporarily shut down websites in a process called the “Digg Effect.”

The concept behind the site is simple. Submitted webpages (news, videos, or images) can be voted up (digging) or down (burying) by each user, sort of a democracy in the internet model. If an article gets enough diggs, it leaves the upcoming section and reaches the front page where most users spend their time, and can generate thousands of page views.

This model also made it very susceptible to external gaming whereby users from certain groups attempt to push their viewpoint or articles to the front page to give them traction. This was evident with the daily spamming of the upcoming Political section with white supremacist material from the British National Party (articles which rarely reached the front page). The inverse of this effect is more devastating however. Bury brigades could effectively remove stories from the upcoming sections by collectively burying them.

One bury brigade in particular is a conservative group that has become so organized and influential that they are able to bury over 90% of the articles by certain users and websites submitted within 1-3 hours, regardless of subject material. Literally thousands of stories have already been artificially removed from Digg due to this group. When a story is buried, it is removed from the upcoming section (where it is usually at for ~24 hours) and cannot reach the front page, so by doing this, this one group is removing the ability of the community as a whole to judge the merits or interest of these stories on their own (in essence: censoring content). This group is known as the Digg “Patriots”.

Revealed: Best age for having a baby

Another 'lie' brought to you by the trusty 'news' source.

From an 'opinion' by people (mothers), that have had their natural instinct postponed by the industrial revolution, the new media claims that that the information is factual.

Information is given to the populous to support a particular agenda.

From the article:

Australian women say best age for children is 29

• 59pc of women think 29 best age to start family
• Felt more secure in their finances, relationship

HAVING a baby is high on the list of things to do before turning 30.

Most women - 59 per cent - think 29 is the best age to start a family, Health Department figures show.

Women are waiting four years longer to give birth than in 1985.

The research found many women felt they were best placed to procreate at 29 as they were secure both financially and in their relationships.

Social analyst David Chalke said many women wanted to start before they were 30 as they still wanted to be "young" mums.

"They don't want to admit to themselves that they've left it until their 30s and want to start when they are young," Mr Chalke said.

"But the gulf between our aspirations and reality is getting larger in Australia.

"We are seeing this rush of women in their late 30s having their first children before they hit 40.

"Either people haven't found the right person, or just haven't got around to it - they are going up the career ladder or saving for a house, and house prices are going through the roof."

Australian Institute of Family Studies research has found many parents wished they had started even younger after having their first child.

"Many said they didn't know how fantastic it would be until they had their first child," assistant director of research Ruth Weston said.

Margarita Williams was 29 when she gave birth to Reuben seven weeks ago, but said it was entirely circumstantial.

"It was the right time for my husband and me - I wasn't thinking I needed to do it before I hit 30," she said.

"The main factors for us were that we were financially ready, stable and settled. We married a couple of years ago and bought a house."

World's richest man, Carlos Slim, loses $6.7 billion, estimates say

CARLOS Slim, the world's richest man, lost around $US6.7 billion last week.

According to data compiled by Bloomberg, Slim's stock portfolio has fallen 9.5 per cent since July 29 when measured in US dollars, and is now valued at $64.4 billion.

The Standard & Poor's 500 has fallen 7.2 per cent during that time.

Slim, 71, has taken a hit as Mexico's benchmark IPC index dropped 6.4 per cent and the peso slid 2.3 per cent against the dollar on concerns that the flagging US economy will hurt demand for assets in its southern neighbour. The removal of three of Slim's companies from the IPC index has made matters worse for the billionaire.

Leon Cabrera, a trader at Mexico City-based Vanguardia Casa de Bolsa, told Bloomberg that Slim was "particularly hurt" by the companies that were removed from the IPC.

When Slim's holding are measured in Mexican pesos, the drop in value was somewhere around 7.3 per cent.

Forbes named Slim the world's richest man, and put him at the top of its annual World Billionaires' list, for the second year in a row this year. In March, the magazine put Slim's net worth at $74 billion, and said it had grown by $20.5 billion in the previous year, on the strength of the Mexican stock market, a stronger peso, and "successful mining and real estate spinoffs from conglomerate Grupo Carso."

According to Bloomberg, Slim's fellow billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have fared slightly better during the recent market turmoil. Gates's Microsoft Corp. dropped 6.3 per cent last week, while Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. fell 3.9 per cent.

World markets are expected to open down on Monday, in the wake of Standard & Poor's decision to downgrade the US credit rating from AAA to AA+. Wall Street experienced its worst week since September 2008 last week, and Reuters reports that global stocks lost $2.5 trillion in value.

The so called 'loss' is a paper loss and NOT a real monetary loss.

Another lie perpetuated by the mass media, in order to stupify the masses, and keep the true leaders of the world out of the public eye.

The Rothschild's are never mentioned in any mass media articles, and did not appear in the Forbes rich list.

The banking families are deliberately kept out of the public eye.

In the 1850's it was estimated that they (the Rothschild's) controlled 80% of the world's economy.

Victorian gov $1b water fraud

The Victorian government has committed fraud to the tune of $1,000,000,000 against its taxpayers, and contributed to the so called 'drought' that Victoria faced, which was a government sponsored event.

Victorians have payed for a pipeline that has not been turned on by the government in an attempt to make a drought in order to justify the building of a desalination plant, at the expense of the public (once again).

No legal institution will take class action against its government that has plunged the Victorian economy into a spiral, as a result of inflated prices due to the 'shortage of water', whilst at the same time government were watering their lawn, when the populous were told to turn off their taps.

The hears sun article:

Precious water down the drain

mentions:


ENOUGH water to fill Melbourne's storages full is going into the ocean because the Baillieu Government won't switch on a $1 billion pipeline.

With Lake Eildon at 91 per cent - its highest level in 15 years - and billions of litres being released from it every day to prevent flooding, Water Minister Peter Walsh refuses to switch on the pipeline or say when he will.

The pipeline has been paid for by taxpayers and water users.

The State Opposition has branded the stance "pig-headed" and "ideologically stubborn".

After pledging to use the pipe only in extreme circumstances, the Baillieu Government must now choose either to break an election promise, or continue to allow billions of litres of water to go down the drain.

Close to 10 gigalitres - or 10 billion litres - of water a day has been released from the reservoir in recent weeks. That's enough to supply Melbourne's water for a year.

Melbourne uses about 988 million litres a day.

The water at Lake Eildon, in the state's northeast, is being released into the Goulburn River, which feeds into the Murray River near Echuca and empties into the ocean off South Australia.

Opposition water spokesman John Lenders accused the Government of wasting the water in fear of upsetting regional Victorians by piping it to Melbourne.

"In a week, they're spilling all the water Melbourne uses and it's all because the Government has a policy and it's too stubborn to put it down the pipe," he said.

"When the next drought comes, and it will come, Melbourne will need more water.

"The plug has been pulled out and the water is running all the way to the ocean in South Australia when it could basically, at no cost, be stored in Melbourne's dams."

About 700 million litres was released from Lake Eildon on Friday. Another 500 million litres was released yesterday.

Mr Walsh said the water was being released into rivers to mitigate the risk of flooding downstream. He said it would be too difficult and expensive to divert flows to Melbourne.

"With Sugarloaf full, and Maroondah Reservoir overflowing upstream of it, it is impossible to use the north-south pipeline to bring water to Melbourne," he said.

But Mr Lenders said storages could easily be moved to make way for more water.

"They're just keeping Melbourne's northern dams full so they've got an excuse not to use the pipeline," he said.

Melbourne Water supply manager John Woodland said the state was experiencing good flows into its major dams. It made sense to make the most of them before pumping reserves from Lake Eildon.

Melbourne Water customers paid $350 million for the right to pump 75 billion litres across the Great Dividing Range from Lake Eildon.

Hiding cigarettes - Not working

In an attempt to be perceived as taking some sort of action, the state governments have thought of a hair brained idea of hiding cigarettes behind roller shutters in order to dissuade the people from buying the cigarettes.

It is well known within many health and political circles, that cigarettes contain additive substances that are put into cigarettes by the manufacturer's in order to hook the smoker.

In the papers put forward, for this implementation of law that cigarettes must be out of sight, there has been no indication of the figure of reduction that cigarettes will be sold by.

The government takes in approximately $5 billion dollars annually from taxes obtain from the sales of cigarettes.

It is of no benefit to the government to see any reduction in sales of cigarettes, irrespective of the perception that it will be of benefit to the general populous.

The government must be seen as if it is taking action for the benefit of the population.

Figures have recently been obtained from a major supermarket brand, newsagents across the state and milk bars indicate the there has been no reduction in sales after the mandatory hiding of cigarettes.

This clearly shows another failure, that is kept away from the public eye.

Victoria's desal plant fraud

Victoria's controversial desalination plant is a haven for fraudulent transactions, price fixing, and a budget blowout due to money for mates deals.

The government has had on its agenda to produce a water 'money factory' at the expense of the general populous ever since the 'privitisation' of the water industry.

In order to make this a reality, no water storage areas have been built in the last generation, even though there has been a 30% increase in Melbourne's population.

The mass media has recently reported that there have been corrupt deals within the government with respect to fraud :

http://corpau.blogspot.com/2011/06/public-servants-in-toner-cartridges.html

but there has been no word at the corruption at the newly being built desalination plant in Victoria's east.

In money for mates deals 'contracted' cleaners are sitting on $130,000 standing around doing nothing.

There are kickbacks given to the business organisers with large sums of money exchanging hands, out of the view of the public eye.

The names of these business movers and shakers will not be mentioned as this will not only endanger the source of the information, but also there will be denial which will result in the whistle blower being put at risk their job, career and family.

Naturally any hint of an inquiry will be fruitless, as any evidence of corruption will not surface to court, as this is the norm with multi billion dollar deals.

Victorian cop faces drug, firearm charges

A police officer in Victoria has been charged with drug and firearms offences after an internal investigation.

Following the Ethical Standards Department investigation, the leading senior constable from northern Victoria has been charged and suspended from duty without pay.

"As the matter is now before the courts it would not be appropriate to make any further comment," a statement from police said.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman would not say at which police station the officer was based.

aap 29 Jul 2011

Another example of how the law will protect corrupt police.

When civilians are convicted of the same crimes, their names are published, but not when it comes to police.

Transparency is not for everyone.

This is only the tip of the iceberg, as certain police are involved in the criminal activities of Melbourne's crime gangs, but then again this is NOT reported by the mass media, and is kept under tight wraps.
