Hooray !!
There are other aussies out there who have thinking minds. I thought everyone else was watching football or some other shit like that on their weapons of mass distraction.
Well put gohba, even while stepping on the minefield of mentioning Herr Hitler !
What to do indeed ? So many apathetic minds but not only in this country.
I've been patiently waiting (should I say preparing ?) for the entire globe to implode, dragged down but the banksters, media and elites who hold the puppet strings of governments around the world. But it seems they are still in control enough to prop themselves up by printing ever more and more of their fiat currency and infotaining the masses with more and more bullshit. Was it Marx who said that religion is the opiate of the people ? (Karl, not Harpo.)
Now it's television.
Sport, Reality, MKR, Masterchef,News (really?),the voice ,constant self-advertising.....on and on.
Sadly for some, it's not TV but work. Here's your FREE state of the art new smartphone, iPad and laptop......just make sure you're available every minute of the day thank you...(btw the desk next to you is empty this month, just fill in will you ? Here's the phone number that's being diverted to your phone.)
Sorry OZ, we may be lucky but we are being properly fucked up the arse to pay for our central city real estate and prop up the 'poor' mining industries. Coal gets such a bad rap lately doesn't it ? Not to mention the hard working pollies who are being supported by them.
gohba.....I understand......here is my twopence worth....
Today people are too distracted and subsidised to know that it is time for a BIG CHANGE ( may I say a revolution ?). History did make OZ a lucky country. Unions helped ensure workers' input was a value to their lifestyle.
Post modernism brought that to an end. Labour value became an inconvenience too costly for industry and corporations. The more internationalised we became, the more important the competitive nature of our society became. Perhaps once OZ was convenient but now lets flit over too Bangladesh ....no Thailand...um this week Guatemala ...China tomorrow.....
The Australian government is a lackey of the international regime of corporatocracy. We citizens are just a number..in the 1950's not enough, today too many...lock them up if they try to get too close. Who cares if they go crazy ?
Until the international bankster/media/elites game crumbles.
Then we will all start wondering how all this could have happened...?
where were our leaders..why didn't they tell us...?
Maybe our should-be leaders may have been killed in the Korean war or in Vietnam. (Another reason to stop "celebrating" Anzac Day until someone can say "Never Again".)
Or perhaps the futility of the political system has just driven them underground.( If this is the case, they must be terrorists.)
They certainly do not sit in the monument we call Parliament House, Canberra.
I, too, wonder where they are ?
In their absence, I have to agree with ausbitbank....tear it all down.
