No One is Illegal

By Arthur J Miller

In the creation, life upon Mother Earth was never told that they could not journey to where the pursuit of needs or desire would take them. Many life forms depended upon the journey for their survival, the caribou, the buffalo, the whale, the salmon, flocks of many types of birds, even the human animal journeyed. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

Along came groups of human animals that conquered other groups of once free human animals. The conquers set marks upon paper that defined the limits of their conquest and these marks became the borders that told all of the boundaries of their of authority. The land and all life that lived within the boundaries of their authority were subject to the dictates of the authority of the conquers who became a ruling class over all within their rule. The rules of the rulers were set down on paper as laws, which defined what was legal, and what was illegal based upon what benefited the rulers. Those outside of the boundaries could only cross the borders legally if the rulers felt they would benefit from their that act, those that crossed with little or no benefit to the rulers were declared illegal. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

The rulers of the unnatural nations saw all lands of indigenous people as unconquered lands. Since, within their system of unnatural nations the rulers had, in their view, the divine right of authority, those outside of their system had only the right to be conquered and ruled. Thus the progression of the system of unnatural nations has been that of worldwide conquest of unconquered lands. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

Thought the ruling classes of the unnatural nations with their borders sought to control those that crossed their borders, they did not place the same limitations upon themselves. Throughout the history of the unnatural nations acts of invasion of other unnatural nations have continuously occurred which has advanced to the state of vast wars of mass death and destruction. Given the ruler's laws of borders that they base the boundaries of their authority upon, all offensive wars should be illegal, but the laws of the rulers only are for the governed and are not meant for the governors. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

Unnatural nations formed alliances with other unnatural nations, signed military pacts and rights of exploitation, which they called, trade agreements. The rulers and their exploitation were given free passage across the borders of unnatural nations. Thus the repression and exploitation of the people and the pillaging of Mother Earth became multinational pursuits. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

The people who are ruled by the rulers are documented and placed under the ownership of the unnatural nations and called citizens. To be owned by an unnatural state brings the slave's duty to follow the ruler's laws, fight if needed in the ruler's army and to pay part of all that which they make in the form of taxes to the rulers. To the ruled they may only cross their masters borders without their master's permission or they are declared illegal. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

Most of the governed classes must seek out employment from the owning class, for the owning class has proclaimed resources and the production of needs as their private property. Thus the govern class also became the working class that produces the needs of society in which the owning class profits from by selling back to the producers their needs in the form of consumer products. To attempt to change this arrangement is illegal by the ruler's laws, as is crossing their borders without permission to sell one's labor for greater return. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

Throughout the world the owning class seeks to accumulate all that they can by keeping as little of produced wealth and needs as possible out of the hands of the people. To back up this arrangement the owning class uses it's hired guns, the police and military, it's laws, courts and prisons to keep those that they govern from gaining a better share. The very existence of the unnatural states and their borders is an act to keep the owners rich, the governor's governing and the people poor and oppressed. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

The people struggle to survive under this system, for survival is this first natural law of all. Sometimes because economic needs become so great, or the get out of the way of the ruler's wars, people find that they must move to new locations to seek work or safety. If that move takes them across the master's borders without permission, they become illegals, even if they are doing nothing more than following the first natural law. In the Natural World there are no borders, on one is illegal.

Sometimes with family intact, other times forced to separate from families, the ones called illegals move as they can down perilous paths. Hunted by agents of the unnatural states and sometimes preyed upon by those seeking vulnerable victims. Cold or hot; hungry; hiding out in the elements; longing for the home they were forced to leave behind; moved by the hope that at the end of the journey they will find something better. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

Declared illegal by those who seek to control the world; hated by those that cannot see beyond their master's deceitful social conditioning. Those declared illegal become the master's blamed ones for everything from driving wages down, to taking jobs away, crime rates and even environmental destruction. All the things that in fact the owner's greed produces. In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

The Natural World thrown out of balance. Natural law becomes outlaws. Nothing makes common sense anymore. Where in the laws that govern the existence of all upon our Mother Earth is there found that a few have the legal right to govern and exploit the many? Where does it state that the majority must do without so that a tiny minority can have far more than they will ever need? Where in the Natural laws does it declare those that cross unnatural borders are illegal persons? In the Natural World there are no borders, no one is illegal.

The unnatural system of the greedy few cannot go on forever, for our Mother Earth cannot withstand that continuous abuse, the people can give to the greedy ones only so much. Mother Earth is already showing signs of breaking down, things must change. We must restore the natural balance of things, the borders must come down and those who have been declared illegal must become legal once again. For there are no borders in the Natural World, and no one is illegal.

Wobs and others are taking direct action by stopping work, rallying marching, protesting, picnicing, having teach-ins etc for May day on May first as part of a migrant workers solidarity day.

If you are stuck and cannot see past your frustration with the current situation why not consider some strategy and tactics that may win you some of your confidence back
as an alternative to war game crap see:

http://www.afmpgame.com/

Can a computer game teach how to fight real-world adversaries—dictators, military occupiers and corrupt rulers, using methods that have succeeded in actual conflicts—not with laser rays or AK47s, but with non-military strategies and nonviolent weapons? Such a game, A Force More Powerful (AFMP), is now available. A unique collaboration of experts on nonviolent conflict working with veteran game designers has developed a simulation game that teaches the strategy of nonviolent conflict. A dozen scenarios, inspired by recent history, include conflicts against dictators, occupiers, colonizers and corrupt regimes, as well as struggles to secure the political and human rights of ethnic and racial minorities and women.

A Force More Powerful is the first and only game to teach the waging of conflict using nonviolent methods. Destined for use by activists and leaders of nonviolent resistance and opposition movements, the game will also educate the media and general public on the potential of nonviolent action and serve as a simulation tool for academic studies of nonviolent resistance.

199. Exercising one's democratic right to vote, thereby
affecting meaningful change.

Perhaps not as much fun as beating a drum, fighting with police, growing dreadlocks to assert one's 'individuality' (yawn), damaging other people's stuff or street theatre, but it's the ONLY thing Government's fear - the power of the ballot box.

That's why you should vote for Nobody because a vote for Nobody is a Vote for Everybody!

A lady walks into a high class Jewellery shop. She browses around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely she inadvertently breaks wind.

Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little accident and prays that a sales person doesn't pop up right now.

As she turns around, her worst nightmare materialises in the form of a salesman standing right behind her. Cool as a cucumber and displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greets the lady with, "Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?"

Very uncomfortably, but hoping that the salesman may just not have been there at the time of her little 'accident', she asks, "Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?"

He answers, "Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to shit yourself when I tell you the price."

PLEASE -- this is NOT an argument against (also) working against social injustice. But the arguement presented ignores realities and misrepresents the natural world.

"The unnatural system of the greedy few cannot go on forever, for our Mother Earth cannot withstand that continuous abuse, the people can give to the greedy ones only so much. Mother Earth is already showing signs of breaking down, things must change. We must restore the natural balance of things"

Yes indeed -- we must share fairly AND make sure that our numbers do not exceed the carrying capacity of the planet. Note that I am NOT saying that 6+ billion is impossible (MY numbers may indicate that -- yours might be different). But what I am saying is that if your argument is "faith based" along the lines "if we share fairly then numbers are irrelevant" you are talking "religion", not material reality.

"the borders must come down and those who have been declared illegal must become legal once again. "

Maybe -- certainly a topic worthy of discussion. But there are issues involved along with commitment to "one planet solutions". If we disallow local solutions, then we humans must all agree on ONE method for acheiving balance. Since we have never managed to agree on that scale what languages to speak, what gods to worship, etc. the prognosis is not good EVEN if considered desirable.

"For there are no borders in the Natural World, and no one is illegal."

GROSS misrepresentation of Nature. If you think we humans are the only "territorial" critters then you haven't LOOKED at the Natural World. You havn't observed the behavior. You may not be able to smell the border markings, hear the border markings, etc. but they are real (for the critters involved). Just as real as our barbed wire fences and border crossing checkpoints and in many cases, defended by the same deadly force as we are inclined to use.

NOW -- if what you want to argue is "but they are animals, we are some sort of higher, more spiritual critters who could do better" again you are talking "religion".

been watching your childish no vote antics but as is common, missed the obvious at first glance ... what is it, you may ask?

it's in your moniker ... very appropriate ... if ants had brains they be the smallest in existence. but neither the ants nor you have anything to worry your empty craniums about.

ants also have no rights they are a militaristic stratified slave society that revolves around a progenitrice (ant creator/God) ... beginning to make sense now, fuckwit?

Freud is a wealth of analytical tricks .. when u get ur vacuum head out of the Koran .. get urself an education. but that would be difficult, u need a mind for that, O well ....

Audrey Hepburn - Dutch Resistance courier

Born of wealthy fascist parents, actress Audrey Helpburn became a courier and raised funds for the Dutch Resistance in World War II.

Her father was Joseph Anthony Hepburn-Ruston, a wealthy British banker and Mosleyite. Her mother was Ella van Heemstra, a Dutch baroness who descended from French and English kings.

Her father abandoned her, and her mother abandoned her fascist views following the Nazi occupation.

16-year-old Audrey served as a volunteer nurse in a Dutch hospital during the war. She also ran messages and performed in underground concerts to raise funds for the Dutch Resistance.

Two Giant Levers For Freedom [249]
Ordinary folk feel powerless in the face of the organised deception and exploitation that is being practised by an unholy alliance of taker-thinking governments, corporations and media networks. Individually, ordinary people seem and feel so insignificant that their voice can be, and generally is, ignored. Individually, ordinary people lack financial and other resources to confront the legions of lawyers that the Feds and corporations can muster, and they correctly assess their chances in the adversarial and often corrupt 'justice' systems of the dominant Level 3 Civilization, as very slim indeed.

Two Giant Levers For Freedom [249]
Ordinary folk feel powerless in the face of the organised deception and exploitation that is being practised by an unholy alliance of taker-thinking governments, corporations and media networks. Individually, ordinary people seem and feel so insignificant that their voice can be, and generally is, ignored. Individually, ordinary people lack financial and other resources to confront the legions of lawyers that the Feds and corporations can muster, and they correctly assess their chances in the adversarial and often corrupt 'justice' systems of the dominant Level 3 Civilization, as very slim indeed.

Collectively, however, ordinary citizens have two huge levers that they can use to not only make their views heard, but also make them prevail. These too-little-used levers are:

* Superior Numbers - that can far outweigh the power of governments and corporations to counter and control the resultant force of public opinion and resolve.

* Communal Communication Abilities - That enable ordinary people to carry on dialogue, share and refine ideas, and formulate common goals and strategies for achieving them.

Ants are individually puny opponents for small vertebrates and even humans yet, army ants, fire ants, and others, are fully capable of attacking and killing much larger prey, if they are hungry enough or angry enough. The strength of the ants lies in their superior numbers and their instinctive hive model of organisation.

The natural, some would say instinctive, organisation model for humans is the tribe. But there is no suggestion here of attacking or harming the less numerous members of big government and big business organisations that are structured along institutional and militarist lines. Any physical attack on the forces of the OWO would not only violate the sixth commandment, it would fail to advance humanity or benefit society in any way. No, the conflict between the OWO and the rest of us is a battle of ideas and, as such, it holds great potential as a transformational force that will benefit all of humanity - even those people who are presently on the side of federalism, capitalism and a creeping totalitarian control of the many by a few.

If several dozen people decide to renounce their citizenship and cease to pay taxes or show allegiance to a federation, they will have a problem. Once several thousand people decide to take such action the ownership of the problem will start to shift towards the Feds and away from the secessionists. Should a few million families elect to abandon the old federal system and form one or more free cities, there will be very little that governments can do about it, at least in the sense of physical coercion and application of legal provisions and the rule of law. There will just be too many leaver-givers, as there can often be too many ants facing much larger and seemingly more powerful opponents.

Considerable communication will be required to raise awareness of the issues and options surrounding the abandonment of the failed political and economic models of industrial capitalism, and the creation of a Level 4 Civilization from a rising wave of spike technologies. Such dialogue needs to be between us citizens of the deteriorating federations that are becoming more and more totalitarian. There is little point attempting to lobby politicians or gain 'air time' in the mainstream media, those sectors of society are no longer taking any instructions from the likes of you and I.

Although there is no revolution or uprising being contemplated here, and no harm to the agents of the OWO, it can be expected that federal authorities will actively discourage such dialogue between 'their' citizens. Any attempt to inform people and raise awareness is likely to be branded as subversive. But this charge can only be made from the viewpoint of the established order. The alternative, and eventually the majority, view will be that individuals have an intrinsic right to free speech and free assembly.

divorced from the reality of the masses and their conditions .. get a mind then get a job .. perhaps then you woud realize how divorced from reality you are, dreamboat.

brother, can you spare a falafel?

what next? time to reiterate that Oz is still a secular State, slave boys.. with "novack" and his matza balls on the right and "ant's" falafels to the left there is precious little space for the secularists -- most of whom have fucked off to saner pastures in any case.

Vote Nobody Next Federal Election

People want things to change but when ask what they think will change it they ask for more of the same? If things are going to change then they're never going to change whilst people give validity and credibility to a totally flawed system.

================================
Federal elections are coming up and it's the same old joke as usual - a "choice" that isn't one! Instead of not voting, how about voting for Nobody?

You should vote for Nobody, because:

- Nobody keeps election promises.
- Nobody has all the answers.
- Nobody will represent you.
- Nobody will improve your community.
- Nobody has your best interests at heart.
- Nobody will make a real difference!
- A vote for Nobody is a vote for Everybody!

OK, seriously now...

People want things to change but when ask what they think will change it they ask for more of the same? If things are going to change then they're never going to change whilst people give validity and credibility to a totally flawed system.

It's not just about making a mockery of the farce that is "representative" democracy. It's also about producing more spoiled ballot papers with "Nobody" scrawled across them than the official winning candidate, thus undermining their "legitimacy" (as if they ever had any) to push the same old business-friendly, community-trashing policies that they always do, regardless of who gets in.

But whoever wins, ordinary people always lose! Nobody will change that, so vote for Nobody next Federal Election.

VOTE NOBODY!

[VOTING IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF POWER, BUT AN ADMISSION OF POWERLESSNESS.

WHOEVER YOU VOTE FOR, THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS WINS. ]

NEVER MIND THE BALLOTS!

Instead of the current system of pseudo-democracy we believe in Direct democracy which is based on equal participation. In order to be free & happy, we need to run our communities, our workplaces & our own lives.

Freedom is a way of organising society in which everyone has an equal say on how things are run.

Freedom is about standing up for ourselves and resisting unfairness; it is about sharing resource so everyone has what they need and it’s about creating a more peaceful world where we are free from poverty, violence and war.

Free people believe there are alternatives to the current political system where a minority force their decisions on a majority and where a few people hold all the power and wealth.

We want accountable delegates rather than careerist politicians, shared ownership rather than private profit, human need rather than economic growth, & mutual aid rather than Investers Rights Agreements.

Politicians say “vote for me!”

We say VOTE NOBODY!

And start organising for ourselves!

WE’RE VOTING NOBODY BECAUSE...

”Choosing between politicians in our fake democracy is like choosing between Coke and Pepsi – they’re all the same, just with slightly different packaging” “Putting an ‘X’ in a box every 4 or 5 years is not real democracy.

I’m fed up of seeing politicians forgetting about the promises they made to improve our lives once they’re in power.”

“I’m sick of accepting the least worst candidate. Every one of us deserves to have a say in the way our own lives are run. I’m voting nobody and starting to represent myself!”

“Nobody on the ballot represents me, and the very nature of the system means Nobody ever will. Nobody cares about the things we’re really passionate about, and nobody will fight for them except us”

“All politicians are liars - they’ll all keep privatizing everything and crapping on ordinary people”

Vote for Nobody for Victory and remember the Ants.....

Show them that we're not happy with the current system of unfairness this Federal Election. Help get the word out and pass this on to all your networks.

1 Ant can't act alone but in Australia 16 Million Ants can..........!

Don't Vote! It only encourages them.

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

So far I've managed to note that these things are missing in our so-called "democracy." The democracy you may think you have doesn't exist in Australia today!!!

We are calling for an abundance of people who don't believe in the official truth, which is a MONSTER and a lie all the days of your life, to vote for Nobody.

So Just Vote for Nobody This Federal Election

You don't live in a democracy you live in a pseudo democracy. The democracy you have when you don't have a democracy. Which is a dictatorship!

You don't need a dictatorship! You're not a sheepy.

If John Howard and Kevin Rudd are a democracy then where is the Senate?

COAG is not a Senate! If every time you vote you get a Labor State or Territory and a Liberal Coalition National Govt then you live in a dictatorship.

By the way what would happen with COAG if one party ruled both the National and State and Territory affairs? DICTATORSHIP.

But if you consider that being a well-paid loser isn't a bad job and pays well then also consider the handshake between Lib/Lab that is a virtual one party.

For instance:

Where is the opposition to WAR?

Where is the opposition to WAR Crimes?

Where is the opposition to Draconian Laws?

Where is the opposition to Refugee Detainment?

Where is the opposition to David Hicks 5 year detention?

Where is the opposition to the AWB scandal?

Where is the opposition to Islamophobia?

Where is the opposition to Political Scapegoating?

Where is the opposition to Neo-Colonialism?

Where is the opposition to False Flag Operations by the CIA?

Where is the opposition to the FTA 'Investors Rights Agreement'?

Where is the opposition to HIV Discrimination?

Where is the opposition to the Privatisation of Health?

Where is the opposition to Desecrating and Ignoring Aboriginal Affairs?

Where is the opposition to subordinating Scientific and Medical Research?

Where is the opposition to Uranium Mining?

Where is the opposition to No WorkChoices?

Where is the opposition to Social Services Reform?

Where is the opposition to Desperate and Disabled to Work?

Where is the opposition to 6 weeks Social Security Payments Cut Off's?

Where is the opposition to Work for the Dole instead of Getting Better Education and Skills for Better Employment Opportunities?

Where is the opposition to Rorting the Social Security System by Corporate Greed?

Unemployment figures scandal story (longish)

On the surface it was not too bad an experience. I got a nice redundancy package and almost immediately was able to gain employment in the new privatised sector at a higher salary. Financially it was good. I was deemed to have performed so well for my first “provider” that, when they failed to get a renewal on their contract, I was able to get a new job that was effectively a promotion, managing one of the suburban outlets of my second. Nor, on paper at least, had I thus been promoted to the level of my incompetence (an ambition I eagerly look forward to fulfilling). I got good results in this role, was made “employee of the month” and won generous, tax-free bonuses.

Australian government cuts thousands of welfare recipients off benefits

This relentless assault on the most vulnerable sections of society has proceeded without a murmur of opposition from the official political establishment. In fact, the groundwork for it was laid by the Labor Party during its 13 years in office between 1983 and 1996. It is therefore not surprising that Labor has dropped its previous criticisms about sole parents and the disabled being incorporated into the new regime.

Nobody will change that!

In the recent NSW Election a definite chain of command was in evidence: Socialist Alliance functioned as cheerleaders for the Greens, and the Greens supported Labor. Both organisations promoted illusions that Labor could be pressured at the ballot box, and that it represented a “lesser evil” to the Liberals. In line with this, the Greens concluded a preference deal with Labor’s state executive, while Socialist Alliance allocated first preferences to the Greens and second preferences to Labor.

ALP and uranium

Oh, what a surprise. The Labor Party are a pack of untrustworthy BASTARDS who will force uranium mining onto us. OK. A question for Labor hacks. In which year did I first say the quote above?

Answer:

http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2007/04/144166_comment.php#144236

If anyone seriously believes that the ALP is anti-nuclear, I have a jar of specks of light I can sell you, for any offers over $100. For another $100 I'll throw in a progressive ALP policy that has actually been carried out since 1972.

Lockdown over radioactive future

Activists this morning locked down Victorian headquarters of the ALP headquarters to voice their disgust that each party is locking Australia into a dangerous nuclear future.

The Environment

All the parties go on about the environment but Nobody is actually protecting it. Global Warming is a proven fact just look around you. We must reduce our consumption of coal, oil and gas and so what does the government do? It wants to build Nuclear power stations across Australia. to PRETEND that nuclear energy and the uranium fuel cycle is:
- safe
- financially affordable
- insurable
and not contributing to:
- greenhouse emssions
- massive water use
- nuclear wastes
- nuclear weapons,

it would merely attempt to address just 36% of global greenhouse gas emissions, ignoring the 64%* of GHG from industry, agriculture, transport and deforestation.

Please, don't be fooled into fighting this issue on the basis of energy use and climate, for we know all the reasons why Nuclear power is, in reality, a moot point.

We CAN, however, re-frame the issue (as our Labor & Liberal parties are want to do) by focussing on the mining and military sectors which actually drive the nuclear industry.

"Safeguards" for uranium exports do NOT guarantee inspections, do NOT apply to military facilities and provide for diversion of uranium reserves from civil to military use. ('The Australian', 2/12/05, "China warning on uranium", paragraph 10).

This fact alone, if Rudd and Howard would comprehend it, is reason enough to end the nuclear cycle initiated here in Australia.

Demand nothing less.

Scrap Growing Esteem
Say NO to cuts in education

In reality the university has decided to go down this road not because of the educational merits but for reasons of status and profit. In 2005, when the model was first proposed, the Vice Chancellor highlighted that over the past 25 years guaranteed federal funding has gone from 90% to 23% of university revenue. Therefore the university perceived two choices, continue to grow at the current rate or opt for a radical rethink.

Mr Speaker!

For arguments sake let's say Lab just happened not to throw the election by coming up with say, an anti strike policy? Just Hypothetical of course?

Then say Lab wins! Yay! No?

At the next COAG meeting there is no real opposition to new Anti-Terror laws for opening your mouth more than five times in one day?

Labor agrees with Labor that that's okay now. No one argued at all!

Then on that basis Lab does what it wants?

So how does that work? Come on smarty I'm just stupid! Never went to school either!

Now I put it to you clearly as my proposition that in fact, Labor cannot Win on that basis because the Neo-Liberal Coalition would not allow it, for a start!

Who controls everything? They do!

The second point is that it wouldn't look right to the general public if and when a controversial issue come up.

What line of defence has either Lib or Lab come up with as a proposition to an event whereby one part ruled States, Territories, and the Central Gov't?

I rest my case!

Mr Speaker!

Business Council calls for COAG overhaul

The Business Council of Australia says the current Council of Australian Governments (COAG) model needs to be overhauled because it is [incapable of addressing important national issues.]

The BCA says the relation between the federal and state governments is one of five key areas that politicians should focus on reforming as part of their federal election promises.

The BCA's president Michael Chaney says an overhaul of COAG will help make any reforms more effective.

[THE LIES]

"We simply can't afford a system of federal state relations which meets only occasionally, this year just once for half a day, decides erratically and follows through irregularly," he said.

"Businesses have really stopped believing in the effectiveness of COAG as it currently stands." [LIES]

Mr Chaney says reforming state-federal relations is the key to progress in education, workplace relations and business regulation.

"Frankly if the states aren't prepared to make regulatory reform a priority issue, it makes sense of the Commonwealth to take over responsibility for business rules and regulations that are inefficient and inconsistent," he said.

"They've made life very costly and cumbersome for businesses operating in this country."

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200704/s1899792.htm

COAG is only for PNAC Neo-Liberal Dictators! This is just a nonsense by the Business Council to say that under a Labor Gov't considering they have control of the STATES and TERRITORIES THAT COAG CAN'T WORK.

OF COURSE IT CAN'T WORK!

That's the real reason because it can't work if one party ruled the nation can it? DICTATORSHIP!

'participatory democracy'
by Spandau Ballet

Firstly, I do not see a single candidate I want to speak on behalf of me. Why should I 'participate' in a system which does not represent me?

Secondly, our only option to 'participate' is limited to once every three years or so. Ticking a box in secret is hardly 'participatory'.

Thirdly, if we DO 'participate' our voices are nothing, when the elected few make decisions which we have NO say whatsoever. For example, despite 90% opposition to Iraq invasion - our leaders took us there.

Stop putting fuel in a car that has no wheels.

Abstain.

Democratic Lost Property?

These things are all missing in your so-called "democracy" the democracy you think you have!

That means you'll be looking at Lib/Lab until the day you die!

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.

Stop Voting - Stop Supporting Pseudo Democracies

Just as communicating with the Feds about abandoning the way we live now is a futile process that only buttresses the legitimacy of old ways of thinking and living, continuing to vote within centralised political processes only reinforces their continuing relevance. Citizens who continue to reside within totalitarian-democracies can, at least partly, abandon them by not voting at elections that will never lead to abundance and a better way of living.

THE MONSTER

The MONSTER destroys itself, so why do we fight the MONSTER? Why not just build our own world? Think of cost benefit of our time, money and our investment in building a new world - opposed to trying to stop the MONSTER who is always right. I know! We might save some lives! Nah! The monster said… that those people had to die and they'll have to lock people up if they disagree. So we say… well lock us up then. And they do! Then they go off and continue to do the killing while people are locked up. Because that was the right thing to do - because they were just terrorists and you were just a wild animal that doesn't understand capitalism and the way the system works. I know! We'll stop the war in Iraq? But Afghanistan is okay so well just keep on building democracy over there?

THE POLITICS OF CRIME IN AUSTRALIA TODAY

How is it that Prime Minister John Howard can accuse other people of some crime or lies? No, you do not need to be clairvoyant or have any special supernatural talents to meet up with or to see one of the more see-through inhabitants of politics in Australia today. You just need a strong heart and an eager mind. While other people, who are being accused, belittled, tainted or desecrated by numerous criminal politicians and their media allies. Politicians who don't lead us by any form of example and who break their own morals, principals, values, and ethics. Politicians who break their own laws in order to deceive us and to suit their own political ends.

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?

On guard!

Because Peter Garrett wants to get up there and change things but it's a hard call. He's up against PNAC, WTO, AMIC, World Bank, IMF. He won't make it they'll stab him in the back, like Latham, before he could get in power.

However, John Howard will get in again if we don't watch out again. That's going to be a major problem.

When you say Kevin Rudd went over to the US and went down on Rupert Murdoch that was all part of the 'show'. The grand illusion for all to see. That makes it look like he's fairdinkum and that he may somehow take power.

The only way out now is to radically change the program and make a protest vote. Boycott the election because it doesn't represent you.

If we don't do that John Howard will be maneuvered in by the media giants on the death.

They will discredit Rudd 'the fall guy and he will unwittingly help them because he's in on it too. Otherwise he wouldn't be there.

How would the gang mentioned above on the first line of this comment let Labor rule central government, and all states and territories?

They won't.

On guard!

A vote for Nobody is a Vote for Everybody. Boycott the election because Nobody represents you!
