It’s surely just ‘one of them coincidences’, but the history of Multiculturalism in Australia is inextricably entwined with imported criminality. Australia’s ‘Father of Multiculturalism’, Gough Whitlam’s Immigration Minister Al Grassby, was “at the ‘beck and call’ of the Calabrian Mafia for at least 40 years”. Just a few years later, Malcolm Fraser was warned by frantic immigration officials that his “Lebanese Concession” risked importing “the conflicts, tensions and divisions within Lebanon”.
Not to mention the criminality: even at the time, Australian government representatives in Cyprus warned that “misrepresentation and deliberate attempts to conceal vital information” were rife among prospective Lebanese Muslim ‘refugees’. Forty years later, Lebanese rape gangs perpetrated a brutal reign of terror across Sydney and two-thirds of those charged with terrorism-related offences in Australia are “from second and third-generation Lebanese Muslim backgrounds”, as then opposition leader Peter Dutton noted, to howls of ‘racism!’ from the factually challenged left.
So, it should surprise no one that, in Crime Central, Labor-run Victoria, Muslim criminal gangs are once again in the thick of it.
An Iraq-based organised crime gang responsible for Melbourne’s tobacco wars is also a prime suspect in the three-month campaign of firebombings, shootings and kidnappings targeting the city’s hospitality industry.
The gang, operating as “the Cartel”, has sent chilling encrypted messages to venue owners:
We will take it by force if you don’t comply the police can’t help you its inevitable we won’t stop till we get what we want.
And that could almost be the mission statement of mass immigration Multiculturalism, really.
With characteristic Muslim piety, they’re not after cheap booze: they want the businesses, the families and, in their own words, the “souls”.
More than 30 attacks, including firebombings, shootings, home invasions and kidnappings, have hit venues across South Melbourne, Southbank, the CBD and Chapel Street. Targets include The Emerson, The Osborne, France-Soir, Bar Bambi, Left Bank, Platform 1, The Albion, strip clubs Men’s Gallery and Kittens, and the brothel Gotham City. Co-owner Dominic Porter was shot at in his Pakenham home while his partner and children were present.
The ringleader is a 23-year-old ‘Australian national’ wanted for the attempted murder of underworld figure Sam ‘The Punisher’ Abdulrahim. He fled to Baghdad the day after the hit and became a key player in the network run by deported gangster Kaz Hamad. They’re using the same encrypted ‘AirTasker for crime’ app pioneered by Hamad’s 313 crew to outsource shootings and firebombings to teenage street thugs for a few hundred bucks.
This isn’t some isolated turf war. It’s the latest chapter in a pattern of Middle Eastern organised crime that’s plaguing Australia.
Recall the Merino Mafia: sheep-stealing gangs “of middle-eastern appearance” terrorising Australian graziers, complete with a brutal murder. Rural families are watching their livelihoods stolen while authorities dither and refuse to even name the camel in the tent. Then there’s the Middle-Eastern criminal named as the alleged mastermind behind a wave of anti-Semitic attacks across Australia. And let’s not forget the middle-eastern bikie gangs deeply embedded in Victoria’s notoriously corrupt building trade, where Labor’s planning rorts meet ethnic crime syndicates in perfect harmony to the tune of tens of billions of stolen taxpayer dollars.
The same networks switch seamlessly between tobacco wars, extortion, drug running, violence and whatever else turns a dollar. Hamad, deported to Iraq, simply continues directing operations from Baghdad. Police now face the nightmare of trying to extradite or disrupt gangsters operating out of a failed state while their foot soldiers run riot on Melbourne streets.
Operation Eclipse was established last month to target organised crime syndicates, but the excuses are already flowing.
The motive for the attacks remains unclear, but commander Chris Murray from Operation Eclipse recently cast doubt on reports that the supply of discounted or illicit alcohol was the likely cause of the violence […]
The arson detective said during the briefing that he believed an extortion demand would be made at some point with the aim of forcing venue owners to pay a “tax” akin to the demands made on those selling illicit tobacco.
Glad we’ve got Sherlock on the case.
Meanwhile, terrified venue owners are left wondering which of their properties is next while the Cartel laughs at Australian law enforcement.
This is the inevitable result of decades of reckless immigration policy without integration or basic vetting. Criminal networks from the Middle East treat Australia as an open franchise territory. They import their tribal feuds, their contempt for Western law, and their business model of violence and extortion. Police and politicians respond with more taskforces, more press releases, and more hand-wringing about ‘complex motives’.
The public sees the pattern clearly: African gangs turning suburbs into no-go zones with machetes, Middle Eastern crews dominating tobacco, drugs, extortion and now nightlife shakedowns. Rural Australia gets the Merino Mafia. The cities get firebombed brothels and shot-at family homes.
Victoria Police Commander Chris Murray admits the alcohol theory “doesn’t fit”. What does fit is a ruthless, foreign-based crime syndicate that has zero respect for Australian lives, laws or institutions – and knows the system is too weak, too politically correct and too incompetent to stop them.
Until politicians admit that not all cultures produce compatible imports, and that mass migration from high-crime regions imports high-crime problems, Melbourne’s nights will keep burning.
