I recently received an email from 2 long-time Australian supporters of the Celebrate Capitalism campaign informing me that they are quitting because the Melbourne Capitalism Award ™ 2006 was given to an “anti-capitalist”.
They were referring to Pastor Daniel Nalliah of Catch The Fire Christian Ministry.
I’ve written twice to the former project leaders to provide evidence that proves that Daniel Nalliah is an “anti-capitalist” but have not yet received any response.

Until now, I’ve restricted this blog to project updates only – with no commentary or opinion articles.
I will now begin including commentary and opinion articles.
This week, new SOLID VOX show, The Darby Report (with Michael Darby) recorded its first interview.
PRODOS Worldwide recorded two new interviews also.
These aren’t yet online. I’m hoping to get them online by tonight.
I doubled the space available for mp3 files on the SOLID VOX server (a subset of the PRODOS server). There is now 1 GB available for this project. About 600 MB have already been used.
I spent quite a bit of time this week doing further work on the specifications for the forthcoming PRODOS Projects membership administration system.
I sent my initial notes to programmer, Davide Villani, for an overall evaluation. Davide’s evaluation was positive and I’m hoping to commission him to start building the new system this week.
On Wednesday, 21st of June, 2006, Sydney/Barboo and I attend the Liberal Party’s South Eastern Metropolitan Regional Electorate Council campaign launch.
State Liberal Party leader, Ted Bailleau, gave the keynote address. State President (and former Real Estate professional) Russell Hannan, conducted the fund-raising auction of donated goods.
My wife and I attended the Australian Adam Smith Club dinner last Monday to hear Tim Warner argue why he was opposed to the “Access Card”.
To visit Tim’s campaign site, AccessCardNoWay.net, click here.
On the night, Sydney/Barboo and I also presented a short, humorous song I wrote in support of the campaign. I’ll record it and provide a link shortly.
This week I lost a few days of working on things due to exhaustion. Still catching up on my backlog of emails, uploads and project updates.
This last couple of weeks I’ve spent quite a bit of time studying key Islamic texts and commentaries on these to come to a conclusion on whether Islam is in fact a “Religion of Peace” and whether there is any room for “Ijtihad”.
I’ll provide further details in a later post.
My interview with Tim Warner on the many dangers to liberty and security created by the Australian Government’s recently announced “Access Card” is now online at:
A photographer has now been chosen for the WogPower project.

I’ve been working the last couple of days on designing the new PRODOS project membership system. Still at the stage of outlining (and rethinking) the specifications – what it will allow members to do and what it will allow admin to do.
