The Enemy is You!

It is becoming more evident each day; the real target of new draconian laws and policies is not the (fabricated) terrorist ‘threat’, it is the domestic population – the enemy is you! The initial indicator (for this writer) was Section 543 of the Australian Defence Forces manual, which describes attack strategies against civilians and local populations – it should not be forgotten that Australia is a micro version and imitator of the USA and to a lesser extent the UK.
Alarm bells should have sounded at the time of the initial release, but current media strategies designed to constantly shift the public consciousness along a predetermined ‘course’ are utilised by the powers to great advantage – information overload is a tactic! Today’s methods of distraction are crude but effective; the mass media spews a constant stream of distracting sensational information that saturates the airwaves – a constant barrage of sensationalist material is not conducive to the public’s attention lingering on any one story or engaging in any in-depth analysis of a single piece in the stream of information. We are therefore extremely pleased to return our attention to a previous story. A brief summary of the relevant section of the manual follows:
“Dead and wounded dissidents, if identifiable, must be removed immediately by the police ... When being reported, dissident and own casualties are categorised merely as dead or wounded. To inhibit propaganda exploitation by the dissidents the cause of the casualties (for example, ‘shot’) is not reported. A follow-up operation should be carried out to maintain the momentum of the dispersing crowd.”
Advisers to various conservative governments, in particular the USA and Australia, have alerted their masters to the negative effects of climate change and have constructed a number of possible future scenarios. However, common factors to all models are the restricted availability of food/water and other basic necessities, and huge cost increases in basic energy production. Havoc in local communities is anticipated as large percentages of the population face severe deprivation and starvation – traditional means of survival (monetary wealth) lose all value as basic commodities become scarcer and governments fail to meet the needs of their respective populations.
Governments that have deceived the people (9/11) will be exposed as various forces vie for supremacy – the shocking and deplorable truth will be revealed. The cumulative effect will be descent into mob rule and ‘anarchy’ – this is envisioned as a devolving process occurring in stages.
Conservative and other governments imagine they will be able to contain dissenting populations with military intervention and other violent methods. However, while military containment methodologies have proven to be a deterrent they have never proven to be a solution. Deterrents only delay the inevitable, in this case, a descent into chaos and rebellion. The elites have failed to apprehend a simple and basic fact and that is the ranks of the military are largely drawn from the underprivileged classes; memories of deprivation lie just beneath the veneer of military ‘discipline’. The exposure of the ignoble exploits of ruling elites and other criminals that rule the nation will further erode any sense of ‘duty’.
Recent social unrest (Africa, Nepal, Timor Leste etc) and the many wars presently waged around the globe are only a prelude of future mayhem – imagine the entire planet as a failed African State! Millions of dispossessed (Chinese) will pour across ‘borders’ making national demarcations irrelevant – the military will be faced with either the wholesale slaughter of unarmed civilians or fending for themselves. Prior to the imminent collapse of the social ‘order’, atrocities perpetrated by the authorities against local populations will be the ‘order of the day’. Ruling elites will resort to the most foul methods in order to maintain their hold on power.
Are we willing to be herded and slaughtered like sheep by corrupt ruling elites or should we push now for majority rule and reduce the impact of negative events that are certain to affect us all in the very near future?

Notwithstanding the above forecast, the requirements for social change have not as yet been met. The two principal factors are the 'pain' and 'comfort' thresholds, it is well known that the masses remain submissive until one or both of these thresholds have been sufficiently disturbed to catalyse action. An unfortunate consequence of waiting until the situation descends into chaos is attempting to confront critical situations without pre-planned fully developed task-specific strategies. A lack of appropriate response options always results in violent reactive struggles, which inevitably end in destruction.
The few that are forming groups and developing survival strategies based on mutual assistance and cooperation today will be those groups better able to survive tomorrow.
The self-serving warmongers of the world are losing their ability to deceive; people of all nations are beginning to realise that Peace is the only viable option for the future. Peace is the universal unifying principle that ruling elites fear most. Peace is the quintessential peoples movement that eliminates all divisions and the need for minority rule.
We are ONE.
