Social revolution.

November 28 2012

A couple of weeks ago, I posted on the topic of latch key kids and the severe penalties imposed on parents. In N.S.W. a parent found guilty of neglect could face a fine of up to $22,000. Now child neglect is a serious matter and something should be done but how is taking that much money from a low income family going to benefit the child? In other states, one or both parents may face gaol time. Same question, how does this benefit the child? Also a couple of weeks back, police were given the power to fine people for having their mobile phone in the car with them. Not using it, just having it there. The governments has demonstrated preferential treatment towards big business and bias against low income earners with Enterprise Agreement laws and new caps on Workcover claims and benefits. More new taxes for us and pay rises for themselves. I've become convinced that there are no historians in government. In 1906 George Santayana wrote, "Those wo cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Our poloticians have forgotten that, throughout history, when the gulf between the 'haves' and 'have-nots' becomes too great, the oppressed rise up. Our political leaders have shown very little interest in the welfare of their constituents and are instead distracted by their own machinations and bickering. They all seek to gain and maintain power through back room deals and public mudslinging. Are we witnessing a government so self absorbed with retaining power that it creates an environment that leads to it's own downfall?

    Oops, wrong country! The right to bear arms in America had nothing to do with sporting or hunting, but with kicking out bad government, which we did. But again, the government has grown in to a soul sucking vampire no matter who is 'in charge'. Time to fix bayonets..... Again. It seems you can't even vote the cockroaches out, right wing or left wing, they don't change. Different colors of the same cockroach.

    I'm in!   I agree, big business in cahoots with government so the rich can get richer... it stinks! and penalising people instead of helping them to stop the cycle of neglect, abuse or just plain poverty. Don't get me started...

    They have passed 'hate crime' laws in America now. At first, if you beat up a gay person, or beat up a member of a minority group, you got charged with a 'hate' crime, which imposed a stiffer penalty. What difference does it make about who you hurt or killed? The crime is no different! NOW, you can be charged for SAYING SOMETHING BAD about that person. The thought police are here. Like making posts on here, if it is deemed to offend someone, or be politically incorrect, they will ban the post. Being from the states, I have seen the beginnings of social engineering, building a society of drones that mindlessly do what the government says. Here it seems full blown and is getting dangerously like a regime, and many Australians don't seem to bat an eye at it. I think the Australian people need to reach down between their legs, grab a pair, and show these idiots where the real power lies before it is too late. Unless you WANT the social engineering of your children to be completed. Your future, and America's future is at stake. I see the U.S., Canada, and Australia as the last remaining bastions of freedom left in the world. Lets keep it that way.

    I'm surprised there isn't rioting in the streets.   Early in the year Politicians gave themselves a payrise (a doubling of pay). Funny how they become one and all say " i " when it comes to voting for a payrise.   The legal system and Government are one. The reason the death penalty was abolished was because back in early times politicians could be sentenced to death for treason or for just lying. Wow imagine if that applied today....parliament house would be empty.   Without having people jump up and down and claim discrimination...the legal system, business, corporate world, entertainment industry, mining industry and all the rest are being taken over by certain countries and religious beliefs. So if you are a part of these certain religions you get concessions and advantages...or convictions and penalties quashed.

    Do we march in under a unified banner? Perhaps 'Swingers and horny souls against dirty corrupt assholes'... or what?

    facebook, myspace, twitter and so on. Incredibly brilliant tools and mechanisms for people power to shift cultures without fighting and war. But what do we do with it? Talk about what we had for breakfast, what we are wearing and so on. Leadership, real leadership in this country is just non existent. We have political parties that spend money on election campaigns, spin, marketing and polls to the tune of millions of dollars whilst nurses, teachers and police can't get pay rises. The fact is, politicians live in a bubble. Completely unrelatable to the average person in the street. They are like the banks, every add tells you how brilliant they are and that they are the best. It's them telling us how great they are at the same time bending us over. But you ask what people think of banks and politicians and the majority would question their ethics, morality and integrity.

    Quoting 'feloniusfossil'You guys should probably read this legislation before you get to excited. The section that would relate to this thread would be - (d) to promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between different groups so as to threaten the peace, order and good government of the Commonwealth Being as we have had nothing even resembling "good government" for quite some time, I think we're in the clear.

    I may contribute my thoughts in a bit more depth later (perhaps surprisingly I don't fall down on the side of 'the Federal/state government(s) is the enemy of the people!), but it seems absolutely fitting that the Australian Sex Party is genuinely the most libertarian party in Australia!If you want a real revolution, join up and start the conversation. The best thing about the Australian parliament is that we're not a two-party state, and you genuinely can support a third party!*Not authorised or paid for by The Australian Sex Party, Canberra. But I recently had sex so I feel like I'm justified.

    There's a book called Adventures In Legal Land... I've become quite a fan of the author's radio show too. Very much to do with topics like this.

    Look what is going on in the world.Their is a War In Afghanistan ,Iraq, Egypt, Somalia, Tunisia, Syria, Libya, Palestine, Turkey ,Oman an another dozen or so country's the press decides not to show us.Things are not looking good ,this could be considered a World War once the big boys jump in. Iran has China and Russia as an allie who say its on if the West invades Iran.The Press in Australia is" Mostly" owned by one bloke ,Mr Murdoch if you will.Do you think we are getting journalism or an Agenda?I say Agenda.World Bank's sell 900 trillion dollars in toxic debt threw shares,bonds,stocks to people,councils government's around the world.The Worlds GDP is 65 trillion a year,out of that we make approx.6.5 trillion a year.Now put 900 trillion(debt) against 6.5 trillion and you start to see how rooted we are financially.Notice now how we are talking about "The fiscal cliff" now?Greece ,Cyprus Spain,Italy,Ireland and England are financially bankrupt threw the EURO.Riots are the norm in these country's that the press cover's seems to cover up.Gold is the financial canary in the economic coal mine and gold dictates how good or bad world economy's are going.Its sitting around $1750 an Oz.We are screwed financially.Gold will be $3000 and Oz in the next few years,while stocks will keep CRASHING(my opinion)Banks get bailed out threw QE.QE(Quantitative easing) is when governments print money.When their is more money in the economy chasing the same amount of goods,services things go up,especially Commodities.Notice how your power bills have gone up?We are up to QE 3 ATM with QE 4 is just around the corner.The merger of STATE(Government) and CORPORATE(Big Business) powers is Fascism.So basically we are screwed for the next 15 plus years,2013 is going to be a very bad year financially.DEPRESSION is on its way.Stocks will fall so will housing prices.Our Grand kids will be paying off our debt.Rant off,i shall start thinking with my little head now.SEARCH>>NSW>>>WOMEN LOOKING FOR ME>>>>SEARCH!The Views and Opinions here are expressed by KIZZA73 and are just my opinion of what is going on in the world.

    At least I have some control over where my money goes and can own my own house, and not be part of a collective, giving my hard earned money to low lifes who think they can HAVE what I worked so hard for. The problem is not the big corporations but big government. Example: the media spews crap about fuel prices being so high because of the 'greedy' oil companies. NEWS FLASH: FIFTY PERCENT of those fuel prices are government taxes for road improvement that you won't see for twenty years, and goes in to the bureaucracy. Of ever dollar that goes to infrastructure, twenty go to some low life sitting behind a desk with no function in life other than to sharpen pencils. I can't really speak for the Australian government as I am not real familiar with the system here. The way I see it, the government here is two versions of left wing. Liberal would be considered middle of the road left, where labor is off the scales socialist. WHAT THE U.S. and Australia needs is one of those hotshot corporate execs. To run the country like a business for about five years. They will trim the fat and all those oxygen thiefs will lose their jobs. I would take DONALD TRUMP any day as president over just about anyone I have seen so far, in spite of his comb-over. He has a good deal of money sense, and won't spend money we don't have, and has had lots of foreign policy experience. These fruit loops in charge now spend money like drunken sailors. I will get off my soap box now.

    ...but a corporate CEO wouldn't accept the pay cut to run the country and would more than likely still give preferential treatment to big business. We need an unbiased, benevolent administrator in leadership. Okay, people, hands up. Who wants the job???
