Just watched the video of the takedown. Well done boys
And to whomever asked about them tossing stunners after making entry: no, that would not have stunned the team that was inside. They train with them and know how to protect themselves from the effects. The longer the subject is disoriented and confused, the better for everybody. Trade secrets my son
No that was amateurish.

I am not a conspiracy theorist.
However, something else occured in Sydney on the day of the Lindt Cafe siege.
The authorities were on the scene at the Lindt Cafe within minutes.
The operation was played out by the authorities in a text book manner, almost too perfect.
The authorities are now being praised. Yet, it was the same authorities who allowed this man out on the streets in the first place.
Monis was an amateur for various reasons.
However, no professional terrorist or hijacker will wear a bandanna during such a high profile event.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that a number of mysterious packages had been found at different locations around the city, including the Sydney Opera House.
In addition, a man was arrested.
These events were directly linked to the Lindt Cafe siege and the authorities already knew about it.
part of the subway closed down.
City access was almost completely stopped.
Sydney’s largest city was almost completely shut down as a ‘precaution’ due to the actions of one man. This seemed an extreme overkill.
Videos released of the hostages filmed in the Lindt Cafe expressing the demands of Monis and posted on social media, clearly state that a number of bombs were located around the city and would be detonated if demands were not met.
This is a clear indication the authorities knew this event was going to take place as the news about ‘mysterious packages’ broke earlier in the morning prior to the siege in the cafe.
The areas of the city put into lock-down were those that were bomb locations, including the Sydney Opera House at Circular Quay.
Something else took place in Sydney
He was not a ‘lone wolf,’ as suggested in the media and advised by the authorities, and other people were involved.
I smell a rat.
By the way, what were the results of one of the most controversial budgets to be released

In fact, religion is the root cause of so much strife on this planet, including this event! Probably a touch of insanity thrown in.
I don't mean to be rude, but I can't help thinking recently that maybe what the world needs is a vast social movement to set aside religion in the name of peace, surely its worth it.

Guess you're the expert!
Speak for yourself! As much as I want a quick, safe outcome for these hostages, praying does dick all. In fact, religion is the root cause of so much strife on this planet, including this event! Probably a touch of insanity thrown in.

I understand that the offering of prayer is a kind gesture, and I'm sorry to offend but the irony is huge.
His research shows that the death toll from democide is far greater than the death toll from war. After studying over 8,000 reports of government-caused deaths, Rummel estimates that there have been 262 million victims of democide in the last century. According to his figures, six times as many people have died from the actions of people working for governments than have died in battle.
