Is any 'New Day' of politics possible?

20101029B.

Joe Bageant, a United States self-admitted 'redneck', was interviewed on ABC Radio National about a month ago, and it was re-aired last Friday on 'Big Ideas'.

The best chat on USA politics ever aired on Australian radio, I reckon! Having heard every show ever broadcast!

I.., was brung-up to become a strong supporter of Australia's allegedly left-wing Labor Party, but, climbing the near-vertical learning-curve over some 25 years of an interest in politics, now I find it very hard to support either of the 'traditional' sides of today's political circus.

As many Australians are tiring of the mainstream political rhetoric, because we are, believe-it-or-not, smart enough to figure out that most of it, if-not-ALL-of-it, is spin, political alternatives have begun to steal the limelight.

Independents and the Greens appear to lead federal and state favour this week/month/year/election-cycle.

From what I've learned, I reckon it's not before time.

But how much can we-the-people be sure they can do what needs, in my considered opinion, to be done?

How long before they are corrupted by the ever-threatening multinational corporate machine-men?

Watching NSW politrix, it seems there may be a fundamental shift there also, amazing as it may sound, with a newish body of Independents showing signs of becoming a powerful block in the NSW parliament.

The Greens, according to a poll released today, have almost doubled in popularity to some 19% in NSW, which cannot be ignored by any political house or faction there anymore, while the NSW Labor party government has sky-dived to some 23%, it's lowest in NSW history.

It's clear that a growing number of New South Welsh are over the main players in the game, and, with the federal Greens and Independents stomping the traditional two-party hegemony in Canberra, the states are heading for changes never seen in Astrayliar.

However, while I now throw my heavy support behind the Greens, nationally and, of course, being, as I once, for a short period, labelled myself and my online commentaries 'The BIG Opinion', my Advocacy extends globally, to all-and-any who recognise that the Earth is more important than any individual or political party's self-interest.

However, in Australia's political caverns, corruption has been the order of the day since the first British marines climbed over the First Fleet's gunwales, hard as the better of them tried, to set-up an Honorable system.

Therefore, as records show, wherever some have cornered power enough to instil some rectitude, the demented have been awoken by their boss, the Devil, to go about undermining all attempts at Integrity in government, and in any organisation AND individual who sought an active life in politics.

Both main parties essentially grew and maintained their power through back-room deals, most of which not quite legal.

So with the current ALP at it's lowest in NSW history, I cannot for a second believe that their henchmen and conspirators are so beaten that they will not try to subvert the new day's threats somehow.

And with the Liberal/Nationals being mainly from the upper class, they have been able to afford a 'squeeky-clean' persona, perhaps because they have almost always owned the hierarchy in the military, and have made it their business, for centuries, to gain ownership and a firm grip on the media, so nothing, well..., next to nothing that exposes their fundamentally corrupt tenure becomes a public, or political issue.

We watch the day's political folly in Canberra, and see the federal Opposition smurking day-in-day-out, with such confidence which, to me, belies their belief that THEY really run the nation, and are so far above the throng that they are invincible. It feels like they still run on the old kings' theorem that they were born to rule, and it will always be this way.

Since their ancestors, the monarchs of Britain and Eurape, did run nations, building up their own personal wealth so high that nothing the masses tried could unseat them, because always, there would be some desperate and hungry bunch of street fighters, or military people ready to take the silver to do-down any democratic threat, today's political upper class have ignored the concerns of the masses.

Anything is possible to them, and so they have always done-over those who tried for a better world for the many.

So, while we here, and I think in a rising number of countries, the traditional 2-party structures appear to be crumbling, what instruments do we-the-people have to monitor and ensure that subversion doesn't undermine these new day Independents, and the Greens?

The beliefs of the so-called 'ruling class' are so deeply ingrained into the heads of their political puppets, who excel in lying to the voters about their concerns for the majority, that they have no real thoughts of their own, and are permanently set on 'automatic' when it comes to planning their political career and future.

But they are not so stupefied that they ignore threats to their power, and a major part of all their politicking, and campaigning and preparations, is about undermining the enemy, whether the other side of the offshore power coin, or Unions, or any rising movement, be it Greens, Independents or other-class mob with interests in evening-up the playing field.

This has been known by a large chunk of adults, especially in Australia, for a long period, which is why a lot of us do not take our politics seriously, and is also one reason, I suggest, why so many of us are off to the footy or rugby, or any sport, on weekends.

Classic escapism. Not that I denigrate people who enjoy watching sport. I used to.

But, with the global surge in evidence that our culture is killing the environment, and that it may even screw us in mere decades, many are being scared into taking a fresh look at politics. Not to the point where we are all rushing to join one of the newer 'sides' such as the Greens, but there is clearly a change in voting preferences, away from the staid 2-party warmongers.

This year's Australian federal election seemed to me to have been an enormous fabrication, where votes were rigged, bought, threatened into fruition or so manipulated in the media, in each party, and in our supposed authorities like the Australian Electoral Commission, the AEC, a government bureau which is charged with organising voting stations, polling booths, vote cards, etc, and with the monitoring of each and every booth and vote counted.

As too many political outcomes here and abroad, have seemed to follow my own commentaries and expectations, wishes and predictions, the last Australian federal election, to my mind a deeply 'questionable' event and outcome, nevertheless, resulted the way I both 'felt' it would, and as best as I could divine, or deduce, resulted near-as, as best as we could have asked for.

This does not mean I am possessed of the power to divine the future, but is most likely a situation where I am the puppet of those who want to and can, fabricate events so much that I appear to be messianic in nature.

Being possessed of almost no self-confidence, self-esteem, or reason to be self-congratulatory, this leaves me with but one option, which is to DEFY their attempts at forming my Soul around their myths, and has me feel utter despair in regard to politics and whatever Scientific Evidence exists about how government of the planet should be, and could be.

I find it dangerous and impossible to believe that any Progressive political shift toward an environmentally sustainable culture, which harmoniously combines modern technology with the need to preserve and promote increases of natural habitats and biodiversity, is possible, because that concept is alien, and the very enemy of the upper classes lifestyle and culture.

So no matter what the political powers say, from here forward, they will always be doing something to undermine Nature and thus our ability, globally, to live beyond a few more generations.

SHIT-aye......?

Pretty depressing stuff, methinks.

The 1st century Hebrew Prophet is said to have said “forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do!”

As I've interpreted that, he was, in modern English, saying “forgive them Lord, for they are deeply hypnotised!”

And if he spoke that some 2,000 years ago, while possibly referring just to the peoples living in and around the Levant, or the Middle-East, but the Romans were very much in his face, and in his thoughts, so he was as likely referring to them as well, therefore the meaning of his words goes to most all of ancient Romans and their belief systems, then the same was more than likely correctly applied to everyone who had been subdued by Rome's expansionist, colonialist, empire-building spread.

It seems to have taken some centuries before Rome had the impetus to force their agenda and false beliefs on such-as the local, Nativist Witches, Cults, Tribes and Peoples of Eurape and Britain, and subdue them and their culture, and kill any stubborn, perhaps Righteous Dissenters, but they eventually effectively silenced them.

After that, most of the early 'western' peoples were roped-in to attending the Christian churches, and to have themselves and their newborn 'baptised'.

How many of them knew they were being hypnotised at the baptismal and from the pulpit, is anybody's guess, but they were.

Right across the most militarised and expansionist nations ever seen, the people were sent lower and deeper into a common trance. They were also seduced and bought-off, with material comforts and wealth - materialism - mainly to keep them silent and docile about the tyranny which Rome was spreading, and was using their sweat and blood to spread further, until now, they, in the guise of the likes of the British empire or 'commonwealth' (HA!), and the colonies of the other 'Christianised' nations of Eurape, and the major economic powers and organisations like the World Bank and the IMF, etc etc., have the whole world effectively powerless to resist or to reform the old kings' power bases and endemic corruption.

So, getting back to the aloof political-class snobs of Canberra and Sinny, watching them through that lens, of centuries of hypnotism, they appear very much to be mindless puppets, giggling their way along, waiting for the time when their masters, unseen masters somewhere in the nation, planet or universe, say they can retire and spend the rest of their lives dancing and giggling around the world on a nice-little superannuated pension.

So, how can any voter be certain that as each new group, independent or party, no matter how pro-environment they are, rockets up the popularity ladder, they are not already, or will in future, be a fabrication of the bigbigREALLYbig global or Cosmic powers?

There is no way of knowing.....

However, the only thing Humanity is left to hope for - while, yes, hope is something of a naïve dreamer's delusion - is that the world is taken, before the environment implodes and buries so many of us that none of the benefits of our times and era remain, up the road of Good Laws which counter the damage and carnage our ways are doing, and educates enough of us to know how we really have to live.

It does not matter whether we are all under the hexes of Rome and Hebrew witchcraft, if they manage to orchestrate the whole planet's 'politics' and thus economics and culture, etc., according to laws and customs which are not corrupted.

I have NO faith that this will eventuate.

However, I firmly believe that a person's Honor and Integrity are the most important 'things' for the upward progress of their Soul.

So, whether all is lost or not, we are Wisest and, will later be the Strongest, I believe, if we continue, against all upper-class self-interest, to instil in our systems of government, thus in our Communities, the Best Economic, so the Best Environmental laws and policies.

What's more, there does exist, knowledge about how to most peacefully manage the world and ourselves.

It has been buried, by the idiots of the 'born-to-rule' class, and they've started world wars in their attempts to keep it away from the masses.

But now, it has been resurrected by an HUGE Army of Righteous, Wise and Humble Warriors, globally, so successfully against the spoiled rotten tyrant-class, that here in Australia it was heard of in the federal parliament.

The Henry Tax Review, as commissioned by the ALP government last year, 2009, went right to the kernel of the whole local, national and global debate we call politics, when the Good Doctor Ken Henry did his Maths and his Economic Science, with the Able, Righteous Assistance of many an Economic Warrior, concluded and included in the Review, that the nation should have a Common, nationwide Land Tax, for government revenue.

So, Cosmic and global powers pulling levers or not, THE Test for us everywhere, will be in seeing the apparent 'New Day' political Greens and Independents dissolving the anachronistic old kings models of corruption, to give voters those Scientific Economic Laws of the Land.

If the new 'Greens'-type powers in our and other nation's governments do not bring this about, we will know all is lost, and that the powers-that-be are unavoidably corrupt and thus, evil.

Liberal, Nationals, Labor, British Labour, Liberal-Democrats, Tory, US Republicans, Democrats, Tea Party, ILO, IMF, Communist, Islamist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Chinese, North or South Korean, African, Et Al...., Et Al.......

If so..., LOOK OUT!

Better get used to living with next to nothing, because the only option is for the carnage to increase and reach right down everyone's throats.

However, I think that the current 'new kids, on the political block', of Greens and Independents, would lead us to a more Honest and Just world, but can, only if they are given our Popular Mandate to do it.

And considering the weight of the old kings' idiot-brigades of the 'born-to-rulers', the New Kids will have to be able to claim a very big majority in public support, and not just in Australia, even though the Greens are roaring in in Victoria and NSW as they near their state elections.

The Shift, the biggest shift the world has seen, and needs, has to be Global, so that small nations like Australia know they are supported by the rest of the world. Or at least enough of the world to make the powers-that-be put down their sherry and sit-up, and Listen.

This doesn't mean Aussies should wait for the rest to catch-up to us, with our current increase in voter opinion-poll trends toward the Greens.

While one of our biggest traits is our cynicism and scepticism, mainly, deployed against Optimism and Good Ideas, which destroys hope and the chance to Progress, the same cynicism and scepticism can be employed for the betterment, with a few hexes dispelled and with a bit of Knowledge.

The adage, 'a little knowledge is dangerous', might have run it's course, because, it may be that such a belief destroys our natural tendency to thirst for more knowledge, so keeps us as dumb as the upper class want us to be.

Surely, 'a little knowledge' approached with a clear, Rightminded head, can inspire us to reach for a little bit MORE knowledge, and so-on.

Because we are lost if we sit waiting for someone else to do our work. To gain knowledge we need to ensure a better life.

'The Knowledge is OUT THERE!'

And however we've been enabled to learn it, we of the modern world(s) also have the most power to make the Changes we all need in how we are governed etc.

What's more! Learning the Facts, knowing they empower us and make everyone's lot better, is extremely fucking enjoyable.

Pursuing that in life, leaves escapist pastimes of sport, drugs, sexual extremes, power, weapons, magic, etc etc., all, far below what we are all capable of.

Whether we are all doomed or not.

Die with Wisdom, Intelligence and Honor, Dudes! Quaff the Knowledge, and the Eternal Harem of Bliss awaits you.

And the Equivalent for the Goils....!

Otherwise, I'll bomb the crap out of all of ya'! Ponse AND Pauper.

Hyuk!

So..., the Mutha Eartha, our only planet says....,

Vote Green, OR DIE!

And Salutations to ABC Radio National's 'Big Ideas' and America's Joe Bageant, for the most Forthright and Enlightened 50 minute discussion I've heard on American politics!

Well, hello?

We're being drowned by news of a hung parliament in Britain.

Jolly ho!

Rather than fill my first few paragraphs with a brief of events over there post-2010 British elections, I'll see how I go without a warm-up?

A repeated phrase, from all of the 3 party leaders, is “in the national interest”.

Hmmm..?

Which “nation”?

England, Scotland, Wales or the colony of Northern Ireland?

OH! All of 'em!

Hmmmm.....?

As “Britain” is one of the most powerful “nations” on Earth today, only by way of being the most ruthless, vicious, blood-thirsty, etc, etc, (HELLO! MI6!) and by way of plundering and colonizing the largest number of other “nations” over the last 500 years, or so, and as “Britain” “assumed” the dominant, leadership chair in their slowly dying “Commonwealth”, and for that, have directed and forced those colonies to be how they/we now are - mostly failed states - there's a few things to consider today, after the 2010 “British” election.

One is exactly where this notion of “nation” ends?

Where ARE Britain's borders exactly?

This might lead to the question of where, therefore, does “the national interest” end?

Clearly, “Britain”, as we define it today, is the bighouse mob they are, because they still have enormous influence and control in many other “nations” of the big ball, having stolen extraordinary amounts of booty over the colonial period.

As this election is centred at the English/British parliament, called “Westminster”, the place where many parliamentary systems now underpinning many of those “Commonwealth nations” have their origin, is it a given that any reforms to the “British” system will flow on to the other nations?

Another pop-up question before I jump on the 'net and go serfing, is, what percentage of Brits bothered to go to the polling booths and cast a vote??

As it's all a casual affair, over there, and as at times there have been notably low turnouts, I re-put an old line of mine, which may not be necessary to put again because I've heard a few British polies this time say that “the system is broken”, a line which states that in a voluntary voting system, any percentage of over about ten percent (10%) who do not vote, must be counted as a vote of no confidence in the “system”. So when there are over 30% of eligible voters not voting, then the system is DEFINITELY broken. So those non-voters are in fact voting. Etcetera.

Another point on voluntary voting, a system I do not necessarily disagree with, sometimes the weather is bad enough to effect significant numbers of voters. If by chance it's a cold and stormy day on polling day, the drop in votes can be huge, so the results can not be seriously taken seriously, and, by rights, a new election should be held.

That's the REALPolitik view, but as “politics” are today, whether in Britain, the USA, or other voluntary voting nations, the logistics and expenses make that prohibitive.

So.., election Britannia 2010?

Reforms ARE an imperative there, and the Lib/Democrats I'd say, clearly won as many seats as they have because they campaigned on “electoral reform”, amongst others.

So..., complexer it is, and gets...

LDP leader Nick Clegg (Well Done, Outsider!) and his team must now decide which of the big two they will co-alish with to extend the betrayal of Brits.

Funny that the old “change of the guard” rules have played out, so that the “opposition” have won the most seats.

Time to strike up the band, maytes... “Swing to the left, swing to the right, swing all day, swing all night, doh-say-doh and-a-round we go..., earlay in the morning....etc”.

(“Drop your balls upon the floor, swing them round, til they're sore!”

Ironic that the incumbents remain, due to the rules in Westminster, even with a minority.

If Nick Clegg wants to not be strung-up by his own party faithfuls, he surely cannot choose to form a coalition with the conservatives, who aren't interested in a more equitable system?

Labour has been reformist over the last 13 years, by devolving Scotland to having it's own houses again, and Wales (I guess?), as well, I vaguely recall other structural changes which seem to have been “reforms”.

So on that issue alone, it would seem Cleggy has only one choice, and defect to Cuba!

HOWEVER......?

Simplifying things “over there” somewhat, “Who-o-o.., is Mista Brown??” (unquote Bob Marley), and what place has he held in that tyrannical mechanism called the “IMF”?

I seem to think he was the treasurer for about a decade, that is, Chancellor of the Exchequer under Tony Blair?

Which sort of brings me back to the qvestion of “exactly where do the nation of 'Britain's' borders end?”

Britain would not have the top-end lifestyles it now enjoys were it not for it's claiming ownership of “Australia” for one, and the many other previously sovereign nations.

So, this leads to; Surely it is a must, today, for 'Britain' to consider “in the national interest” to mean “...in the planet's interest”?

I recall a statement from one Tony Blair about a decade ago, which said that “Britain could no longer consider ethics in it's foreign policies” or something similar.

“...Could no longer....?!?!?!”

Of course, by “Britain” he meant the likes of British Petroleum, and, Lloyd's Bank, and other resource capitalists and financiers of Bigplunder Inc.

In light of GFC part two (pending), and in ascertaining it's root cause - bigplunder and hold the ethics - any SERIOUS new government in Britain would seek primarily to put “Ethics” back on the mantelpiece, methinks.

It is interesting that “The Greens” were not in the race over there. Is this a silent recognition within Britain that they are on top of the developed nations' tree, because they have been so mutilating of the planet's environment for centuries, and for what this untenable and unethical attitude has brought the Brits, in having the highest average of material wealth, it is now obviously impossible for them to “Go Green!” like many other “”nations” are, because it would be an admission of guilt, or such?

Congrats to the Brighton Green M.. Lucas! By the way.

Looks like y' gonna be a bit lonely, luv?

As Nick Clegg is allavasudden the “king-maker”, and as he says the LDP are Reformists, he's in a spot where he can be pretty tough.

He has every right to DEMAND “humility” from both ''red and blue” parties, as there does seem to be consensus that “it's broke!, and as both have been carrying the can forever, it's really THEIR FAULT!

So much, therefore, that Cleggy (almost) has the right or indeed the duty, to assume the Chair hisself!

If they're really talking REALPolitik Reform, then without stalling the processes of governing the er.., “nation” tooo much, NiClegg would shake the stale bread from the box by insisting on a tripartite government, and do away with two and more “sides” altogether!

If Aunty ''Lizzie's cuz (Davie Cameron) can't admit that “Westminster” is out of date, and that the “right” were so-called because they sat on the side closest to the door to the privy (joke!) (in the 1500s), and that it was the side preferred by the LANDOWNERS of the era, then TO THE STOCKS WIFF 'IM!!!

Today, all things considered, as “Britain” is so high-up the ladder of power and influence etc, and as the world teeters on the edge of “GFC part two - The Sequel”, it is time they got off their padded fannies and began doing the Maths in there that 'ouse of parlayment!

One reality is - that were Britains' “Houses” to get SERIOUS about their own economy, then they would have to get SERIOUS about the world's economy as well.

What effect, for example, would Australia becoming a Republic have on Britain's economy and politics?

Can the world, and thus Britain, continue on the unsustainable path of over-consumption, without some serious impact upon the lives of the British?

Of course not!

And what about the plights of Greece, Spain, Portugal, et al, and thus the Euro-zone, and the impact upon Britain?

I reckon, from my retirement ute, that Britain, or it's political elite, is better-off biting the bullet now, by ignoring the tremors and curses from the stock-markets and the banks, and start talking seriously about FUNDAMENTAL Reforms to their economy, not just their voting system

Surely the howls and weeping from the share-holders and future's markets hotshots are easier to bear, and deal with, than the streets of Britain erupting with the violence we see in Athens today?

If one more Eurapean “nation” goes-off like Greece is now, it's gonna get REALStikkee elsewhere, and that will be next-to-impossible for any government to handle, short of sending in the troops to shoot their own citizens, en-masse.

Besides... it's just not British, say what, ol' chum?

Prevention is always better than the cure.

Britain's tentative predicament now, as with that of the rest of the “Euro-zone”, is solely due to the rampant arrogance of their collective abuse of force over the rest of the world under the auspice of the IMF, dating back centuries.

So “Reforms” must institute fundamental changes to the way the “euro-zone” aka the IMF, plunders the rest of the world, from the USA to Zimbabwe, from East Timor to the West Indies.

This means that the world's biggest plunderers who rose to dominance under the protective wings and armies of the IMF, previously the British East India Company, bigplunder such as today's Rio Tinto (etc), and their global banks (HSBC and the Swiss counterparts) and their networks and sub-branches, must be told to acquiesce to regionally local government systems of taxation, etc.

However, as that “nation” of “Britain” so influences the world today, they will not be treated as being sincere, they will not be taken seriously, unless they lead the world in unifying the world's systems of taxation, where resources and mining etc are concerned, so that the bigplunder corps cannot simply up-stumps and move to a poorer or other region to avoid paying what is justly due.

This game of the bigplunder nations, of which “Britain” is number one, of forcing the rules upon others purely so that those rules best suit the bigplunderer, and “”the devil may care” about the plundered nation, has to stop.

Again, it has been this ruthless and supremely arrogant attitude from the very likes of Britain, which has brought the current and looming economic AND environmental disasters upon the world.

So.., “prevention is better than cure” would be a wise adage for NiClegg to adopt in the coming days, weeks, months and years. Indeed centuries!

I hope he, at least, sees that Green Economics is but THE Vital basis upon which to act, in the coming....

Indeed, as most all of the planet's Original Peoples - The Aborigines - would agree with, no economics, and no laws have precedent over the Highest ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

The Highest Economic laws, in fact, have their Foundation in these.

“BP” the corporation now slurping their profits away in the Gulf of Mexico, the corporation now and forever to be known not as “British Petroleum”, nor HOHO! “Better Petrol”, but as “Biggest Polluter”, yet another bigplunder corporation of the IMF, must be brought to fully recognise that Environmental Laws precede ALL economic laws and laws fabricated to ensure profits of the most powerful few.

As US President Barack Obama has said “the big game is over”.

Therefore, if any of the big three British political parties are serious about GOOD Government, Reforms cannot begin, without ALL OF THEM, adapting the “in the national interest” slogan, to read “in the GLOBAL interest”, and that cannot proceed, without their collective agreement to effect MAJOR Reforms to their parent company, the IMF, and to setting up IMMEDIATELY, a Global Charter for the Standardisation of Taxation.

Or such.....

All these, are within your Rights, Duties AND Reach, to Perform, Nick Clegg!

If, that is, you ARE focused upon putting the “national-cum-GLOBAL interest” before party interests?

Jolly ho!
