Politicians who are encouraging our children to grow up with a bent view of the world. The same criminal acts that they themselves (children) would inevitably be punished for if they were to live this same sordid deception personally of what is said to be right or wrong by our politicians today and their media allies, who have lied to us to continue the status quo. Shame John Howard shame on you.

Prime Minister John Howard, we all know of his crimes, not just against Australians but also against all of humanity. He has led our government by committing criminal acts and lied to us so many times about those criminal acts.

How is it that he can be allowed to lead a political party in Australia today? By telling lies and committing criminal acts? Not being tried for them is one thing - which means he doesn't have to get any insight into his offending behaviour - and makes it more likely than not - that he'll try to get away with it time and time again - which he has done. So is it any wonder then?

But leading your country with criminal values is another thing isn't it? I mean besides leading any political party in Australia?

Some people will say that he was elected. That does sound reasonable?

That regardless if he was elected surely he wasn't given grace to blatantly lie to the Australian people and commit criminal acts? To promote false fears? To sacrifice the common people to be used as scapegoats for his alleged allegiance with the coalition of the killings war on terror i.e.resource wars and imperialism.

What if a large group of people decide that no matter what lies they're told they won't acknowledge them? Turn a blind eye to them? And that it is okay that a criminal should lead them, because crime does pay their mortgage? Or crime does take care of their racist biases? Even though time and time again these same authorities, that were elected, are preaching to us that crime is an offence punishable by their laws?

Love thy neighbour

So when did the Australian community decide that crime does pay for politicians and that they should vote for crime because it's okay to live a life of crime?

Of course this large group of people who voted for John Howard won't admit readily that they now live a life of crime because it doesn't suit them to acknowledge this also. But history will show that the period that John Howard has ruled was the most despicable period in Australian history.

Was it okay when the corporate mass media establishment decided that it was? And because they have the 'power' to convince this large group of people that criminal behaviour serves some purpose in life that will benefit all Australians?

Of course criminal behaviour suits the mass media 'corporations' because they are being payed by people who are committing these criminal acts in Australia and the Middle East - for profit and for their resource wars.

They can also project their propaganda views to 90 per cent of the people most of the time. Continually lying to us, spinning and propagandising the illusionary notion that they're doing the right thing.

Bringing democracy? Keeping Australia safe from terrorism? A new surge in Iraq? A spring offensive by the Taliban in Afghanistan?

Holding scapegoats at home for long periods in isolation and accusing them of thought crimes [at no place and at no time]. Conspiracy theories created by the authorities by locking down a suburb and going on a fishing expedition to allegedly reveal the materials that they say are being used to make bombs. Incidentally found in any common material that a handyman might use to complete a trade services in the community.

Or was it that this large group of people seconded their ethics and standards to a criminal because crime does pay? Is that what a large group of people will do to ensure that their standards of living prevail over the oppressed people of world? Similarly in the USA where their need for oil surpasses their respect for the Middle East? Or any other place on this earth where their is oil. What then of other scarce resources in the future?

Or does this large group of people believe in part because of the projected mass media image that this has allowed them to overlook inappropriate behaviour, lies and criminal acts? Things like racism, economic stability at any cost? Because it serves their own ends too?

Further how can this large group accept that John Howard has the right to accuse other people of criminal acts when we all know that he has no intention of dealing with his own crimes? Not just against the Australian people but all of humanity.

These are all very serious questions for our community to deal with especially in the coming NSW State election and the upcoming Federal election, otherwise our children are going to get it so very wrong.

A complicit Labor government or even a complicit large group of people that will allow it to happen based on their social biases about race and or their mortgage payments at any cost, including criminal acts are letting their own children down in the future.

Incidentally those same criminal acts that they jump up and down about in their own local communities when it has directly or indirectly affected them. Like NSW opposition Liberal leader Peter Debnam's latest proposal to make children of the age of 10 years criminally responsible?

==========================

Make 10-year-olds responsible for crimes: Debnam

The NSW Opposition Leader Peter Debnam has re-announced a Coalition policy which makes it easier to obtain criminal convictions against children as young as 10.

 http://www.smh.com.au/news/law-and-order/make-10yearolds-responsible-for-crimes-debnam/2007/03/02/1172338805053.html

===========================

How can the Liberal party be so morally incomprehensible by lying and committing criminal acts themselves and yet so disparate when it comes to any punishment they want to meter out for the trial of a 10 year old child?

A 10 year old child that might think what the Liberals or their own parents are doing is okay now, and have seen them politicians do it themselves, time and time again on national television?

Perhaps locking them up because they thought it is okay to lie about serious problems, that crime pays and that crime has become the latest fascism on National television?

Australian people need to see reason and logic in a moral sense so look into that crystal ball and see your children future.

Illustration:

Crystal Ball

A type of fortunetelling called "scrying" involves gazing into a reflective surface as an aid to clairvoyance. Meaning "clear seeing," clairvoyance is the alleged ability to see beyond the normal sensory range. It is therefore a form of supposed extrasensory perception (ESP). Polished metal or stones have been used. The reputed seer Nostradamus (Michel de Notredame, 1503-1566) employed water in a brass bowl upon a tripod when he practiced scrying. Today the most common device is a crystal ball—either a polished quartz crystal or a glass sphere (as shown here).

Scrying involves the would-be visionary relaxing and emptying his mind, while staring at the reflective surface. In time it may become cloudy, then black, following which images may appear. These may be symbolic forms that need interpreting, or they may be pictorials—like snapshots or even moving film. It is said that only about one person in twenty is able to "see" anything by scrying.

Believers attribute the "gift" to natural psychic power, which is said to manifest itself in childhood. Rosemary Ellen Guiley (Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience, 1991) observes that scryers in Arab countries are children under the age of about eleven whose "natural gifts" subsequently diminish.

Skeptics suspect that those who are able to scry successfully are merely highly imaginative individuals with a strong capacity to fantasize and visualize. They point out that there is no scientific proof that anyone is actually clairvoyant.

Voters reject Govt's attack on Rudd: Gillard

The Federal Opposition says results from a poll taken at the weekend show voters have rejected the Government's tactics over the Labor leader Kevin Rudd's meetings with disgraced former Western Australian premier turned lobbyist, Brian Burke.

 http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200703/s1863844.htm

The questions are, has Labor been complicit in most of the Federal governments policies? Lies? Attitudes? Including war crimes against humanity? Torture and rendition of our citizens? False flag Operations by the CIA?

And does that mean that Labor have become and easy target of the Federal government to be able to blame because of their complicity?

Does that leave Labor short of what society expects of a citizen and therefore makes them a target which has fundamentally degraded all of Australias humanity of days gone by?

Should we trust Labor? And is this a necessary 'Evil'?

Necessary evil? Giving a shit?

Since when has evil been necessary? Pardon me!

Howard's Nuclear Future - Reeks of Cronyism, Hypocrisy and Misinformation

MARCH 5, 2007: The controversial appointment of high profile nuclear-power proponent, Ziggy Switkowski - to head Australia's nuclear research body (ANSTO) has been widely criticised. Dr Switkowski's report to Prim Minister Howard late last year proposed a scenario of 25 Australian nuclear reactors. Critcs say "due process had been thrown out the window in the nuclear debate".

Bush (Custer) Last Stand In Iraq - War Drums in Washington

The majority of American citizens have the delusion that they actually decide who governs them, when in practice the Democrats and Republicans are only two wings of the same ruling class that owns Congress, just as it owns the land, the banks and big corporations, the newspapers, and radio and television companies.

As a rule the big capitalists prefer the Republicans, the natural party of Big Business and therefore, the natural party of government. The Republicans stand (or used to stand) for cheap government, low taxes, less government interference in business, a strong dollar, balanced budgets.

This is the kind of programme Big Business - especially finance capital - likes. But occasionally, a Republican government can get into trouble.

Then Big Business calls on the services of its reserve party - the Democrats. It shifts nimbly from the right foot to the left foot, without for a single moment relinquishing a single atom of its power over the affairs of the nation.

Therefore, when George W Bush came to power (by highly questionable methods), the champagne bottles were undoubtedly popping in Wall Street. Here was a President in their very image of the American ruling class: crude, ignorant, narrow minded, provincial. All right, so he can hardly put two sentences together, but after all, he is one of ours. He made all the right noises: tax cuts, make the poor work, cut wasteful state expenditure (i.e. welfare) and so on.

Oh, this was music to their ears! And when he ordered the invasion of Iraq, this also seemed good for Business at the time, and as everybody knows, what is good for Business is good for America.

But now things have changed. The war did not work out as planned and is already deeply unpopular in the USA. Many Republicans are now expressing doubt about the war. The only Republican candidate to give vocal support to the "surge" is right winger John McCain. Other candidates, some more, some less, are calling for a withdrawal. But Bush remains obdurate. He has refused to accept the verdict of the Iraq Study Group and is acting against the collective interests of the ruling class. This will seal his fate.

NSW committal for terrorism scapegoats begins at Penrith Court

In reality this is just a waste of taxpayer's money. The rules of evidence and standards have been reduced to compliment the draconian laws that go along with it. This is just a show trial for political purposes and all Australians should bow their heads in disgrace that the war criminal John Howard has stooped so low in order to continue his fear mongering and resource wars in the middle east.

Senior lawyers accuse Australian government of war crimes over Guantánamo

The demand for the laying of war crimes charges against Howard, Ruddock and Downer should be taken up by ordinary working people throughout the country. The government’s ongoing treatment of David Hicks, and its defence of the illegal US military commissions, constitute a threat to the democratic and legal rights of every Australian citizen. They demonstrate the real face of the so-called “war on terror” and are a warning of the equally repressive measures being prepared at home against government opponents.

Rendition and torture of our citizens? 20 years for thought crimes? Jury asked to push on when they couldn't make up their mind? Rules of evidence and standards lowered in our local courts? 5 years in Guantanamo without trial or charge? Military style Kangaroo Courts, Control Orders? Detention Orders? Indefinite Detention? Then we have Australian citizens being held in detention and even being deported?

Homegrown war criminal's 'a serious problem in Australia'

Jump, scream, run and hide the muswims are coming to get you! Everywhere I turn there is another terrorist. I opened the sugar bowl this morning and there was a terrorist cockroach just waiting to get me, after stealing my sugar mind you. So we must be very alert and very alarmed. How else would a war criminal get re-elected after a holocaust and what looks like a third interest rate rise this year? Mostly, Howard's goals can only be attained, amongst other things, if he pushes race hate buttons and whilst you continue to live in fear.

Chalmers Johnson: “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic"

One of the things I have experienced in these three books is a much more receptive audience of alarmed Americans to Nemesis than to the previous two books, where there was considerable skepticism, so that one -- if we do see a renaissance of citizenship in America, then I believe we could recapture our government. If we continue politics as in the past, then I think there is no alternative but to say Nemesis is in the country, she's on the premises, and she is waiting to carry out her divine mission.
