Latham, Rudd, Gillard, ALP, Greens, and 1.5 days to go!

1.5 days to go
19/08/10.

Point 1. There's obviously something I'm unaware of behind the media's ongoing denigration and maltreatment of the ex-leader of the federal ALP, Mark Latham?

Last night ABC's “The Chaser”, yes a “no-holes-barred” comedy show about the day's news items etc, extracted more from the Man's Soul by shooting more shit at him.

Politicians of both stripes, and media of public and commercial channels have lately shot more than a few slanderous/libelous comments at Latham, which, I maintain are both undeserved, and liable to be responded to with charges of defamation. At least, I believe they should be, by Mark.

Australians are a beggared lot, probably a continuation from our convict past.

The “tall poppy syndrome” is a favourite pastime of ours, where we shoot anyone down either or both because most of us are disgustingly stupid, and thus to defend our pathetic and low-minded egoism we are impelled to bring-down anyone who shows a higher level of achievement, Intellect or Social Conscience, and who employs any or all of their talents by speaking-up publicly, usually for the greater good of the masses.

The second, is that, most of us also, while of a beggared moral level, are smart enough to know that, especially in the political and public arenas, most everyone who stands-up and attempts to make a name for themselves, are doing so, not because they are the real-deal and would go to the barricades in defence of the People, but because they in fact “have tickets on themselves” and think or have been seduced to think they are really-fuckin' fantastic, good enough to lead the people, or nation, or footy team, etc., while the truth, seen by the cynics, is closer to their being puppets of some other megalomaniac or “club” who need a fall-guy frontman.

The public are, in this, usually wise, and see a fool coming from miles away, and as well see that by far the majority of “contenders” are idiots with tickets-on, and will fall over soon enough. This is why contenders often get a hard time, so as to give them the chance to prove themselves. Or not!

From the beginning of the 2004 federal election campaign, I observed Mark Latham being interviewed on TV. I was impressed by his straight-forward attitude, his 'no softcock' responses, and his readiness to confront issues which no ALP nor other politician was prepared to go near.

Few care to remember that campaign opinion polls indicated he, and the ALP, held a popularity rating of near 60% before the “pancreatitis event”! Yes, much was merely because Howard was pissing people right off, but it cannot be denied, Latham was impressing the voters, and inspired us more than a lot.

As the 2004 campaign progressed, he excelled in his readiness to take-on issues such as funding of private and public schools, again, as almost every other Australian federal politician bends-over for their old school priest's “advice”, and who all knew well which side their bread was buttered on thanks to the assistance given to their careers by their old school brudderbonds, none of them were prepared to take on this actually very important issue.

Mark Latham not only addressed this anomaly, but came up with a very sound plan to redistribute government funding in education to where it was needed most - public schools.

This remains a thorny issue today, and anyone anywhere near our houses of parliament who tries to bring it to the fore, usually gets something like a phone call late at night from the henchmen of the church cabals, threatening them with forced exile, poverty, NO MORE employment, ceaseless defamation and the unending, strong want to suicide.

This, a loose description I admit, of church bullying, DOES happen, and, for those outside the clubs of church schools, it must be said, that across the world, there are thousands-upon-thousands of good, healthy, intelligent and extremely capable individuals who have been exiled from society, from a, from ANY job, from family, from friends, from even a house they can call home, by the church they had “issues” with, because they sought to speak out about them, or who sought to speak out about the disparities dominating western societies, disparities in fact constructed and maintained by the enormously deep church corruption, both of religious “truths”, AND, more importantly, of ECONOMIC truths and issues.

In fact, in fact, the truth be known, the main cause of today's personal, local, national and global failings and corruption can be traced right back to how our churches, in collusion with the world's wealthiest elites, warped economic and Spiritual FACTS to suit their own existence.

The farce we witness and have to vote on today - politics - is also a manifestation of horrendously corrupt and indeed malicious, warlike Catholic, Jewish and other “Christian” religious cults.

So too, is the current concept of “leadership” a warping of the deeper truths about our own Soul, which the Prophet J.C., tried to elucidate, or, "light up", in the minds and hearts of Palestinians 1970 or so years ago.

The Roman church took his (JC's) reputation, and crucifixion by his rabbinical "puppet masters", turned him into a hero, and dropped totally, everything JC said about finding god in our selves, so that we can be free of the need for invariably, inevitably corrupt religion.

So far, almost everything in history points to the fact that western leadership models, as per the centrist corruption by Rome and beyond, will always "lead us into the ditch", as He is said to have said. Yet not one “church” of the Christian genre, seeks at all to go there, and to enlighten the flockers about the God Within, et al.

Is it, therefore, any wonder we, the world, are mindlessly being “lead” toward complete meltdown, and decimation of both the species and the global habitat?

Like the more recent axing of Kevin Rudd, who was doing a damn fine job of bringing the people with him in addressing the fundamental disparities of our economy, with his valiant attempts to keep AUSTRALIA'S mining profits from offshore hands and bank accounts, etc., I put it that the ongoing shit-canning of Mark Latham is based not in his shitty pancreas, nor even in the BRITISH (???) Saachi and Saachi spin doctors of the ALP's campaigns, but in his frank, honest and Intelligent tries at making Australia a better governed-thus-functioning nation.

Better government which would have wound-in the excessive, errant and deeply corrupt religions of Eurape, and made them pay their way, rather than letting them keep-on stealing our land, our Souls, our (Aborigines') Wisdom, Integrity and Honour, etc, at our own population's expense.

So, the ongoing defamation of Mark Latham by our current politicians and media is quite out of place, out of order, and should, by Mark, be taken to the courts, so he can be returned to a place of being respected for his gallant try to make us better people.

But along with the media and even his passed-comrades of the ALP, Mark should do what he can to bring the religions to book, because I reckon that his ongoing defamation has it's roots, like Ruddie's, in the warped bastards in high religious places.

Why?

If Rudd's mining tax succeeded, it would have had flow-on demands on the churches, to actually, for the first time, pay their legitimate way.

Last time I heard, our British and Eurapean churches have titles to some ONE-SEVENTH of Australian land.

THAT - IS A LOT OF REAL ESTATE!!!

This, they extract rents, massively inflated rents from, speculate on, and buy and sell as it suits their accounts departments. The last thing the Eurapean cults need, is "tax-free" status!

Were a mining tax to be implemented, a “resources rent tax”, the miners would merely be paying the proper rent for their rights (privileges) to extract our minerals etc. Rent, which in fact belongs in our Public Purse, not in foreign PRIVATE pockets.

Taking this REALPolitik issue, of “PAYING THE ECONOMIC RENT” all the Rightful way, would also have the religions pay the rent, instead of being exempt from taxes on the false premise that religions are non-profit organisations, who deal with issues of the Soul, and not “temporal” matters, so shouldn't have to pay tax.

Bullshit!

That one-seventh of OUR land (Aborigine Land, actually, of course!) in the hands of the churches, more than keeps them afloat. Also, recently it struck me that that one-seventh of Australia's land mass might very well be very close to our seven major cities, where rents are always the highest, so, always pay the best.

So we have to be wary when we hear of those foreign churches crying poor, because I guarantee you, they have no qualms about decapitating a “tall poppy” if that Noble Person goes near instituting a JUST national economic system, chiefly, as per the report tabled by Dr Ken Henry in December last year, by introducing a “national land tax”.

This might explain why the 30 pieces of silver mobs in our exclusive (private school educated) media houses and government and political halls have been so ready to shit-on the Honorable likes of Mark Latham, and, Kevin Rudd.

It's a bit sad though, that Mark has entered the dark halls of Channel Nine, as a television reporter.

Personally, I don't reckon he's employing his phenomenal talents anywhere NEAR as best he could there.

“Don't waste them, Mark!”

Besides, YOU certainly DO NOT have to lower yourself to that level, where you are forced to appear to be begging the bastards in Canberra for their comments. (Condescending scum!)

So, to show the world that “The Chaser” crew, and all other private schooled egomaniacs (Chaser:- bloody funny and on the money egomaniacs it must be added!) that they are not sycophants and arse-lickers of their school priests, and that the current ALP are not bending over for church profits, priests and private profit-centred agenda, I shout that they ALL both get-off lambasting Latham, and Rudd, and even offer some form of honorable apology to the two of them.

Two feisty Warriors, who, were either of them given an honorable chance, either after the 2004 and June 2010 debacles, might very well now have Australia significantly closer to where we should be, as a Republic, with our own (Aboriginal) Spiritual Knowledge and Beliefs, and with a hugely more efficient and thus more Equitable and Honorable Economy and TWO-TIER system of government?

As the big Julia says “Move Forward!” dudes!

Or media personalities like ABC's Richard Stubbs and Terry Ladler might have much more to prepare the listener/watcher for with “something's going on here?!” when the Collingwood Eurapean church of St Joseph's burned down a few years ago??

Or was that the Yarra tunnel event, Stubbsie?

Lastly on Mark Latham, “I hope he's not working at Channel Nine for the money? If he is, it is as likely because no-one will employ him because of the defamation campaign being sent against him.” The demonic church in action again!

Surely there is SOMEONE in Australia with Integrity who is not afraid of the pedophilia cults and the Law Society, and who has a suitably complimentary job for Mark and his ample talents?

Clearly they do not exist in any of the major political parties, here or elsewhere!

Perhaps, like the Righteous Soul, Peter Garrett, both Latham AND Ruddie, have more to offer the People of Australia and of the world, by aligning themselves with the Greens?

Then, there's Ms Penny Wong?

Stirring the possum there, say what?

After it's all said and done-over, all politics, and government, have at their hearts, Environmental Law.

If human society ignores Environmental Laws, we destroy ourselves.

That the likes of the Liberal and National parties totally ignore this FACT, and that the ALP struggles with it, even while the aforementioned Warriors Garrett, Latham, Rudd and Wong, et al, see something like it clearly, indicates to us that we are being “lead” by fools, dangerous fools, dangerous pro-FORIEGN fools, and that this Saturday, Australians' have possibly our last chance to dispel the myths finally, and at last get on with being a nation of Wise, Intelligent, and Honorable Human Beings.

Something like how it wuz before 1788! Or 1808! Take your pick.

Wisdom! Intelligence! Honor!

The only way!

Oh! And,

ARREST THE POPE!

Mining Tax? Whose argument is Right?

15/06/10.

Australia's media is being swamped, as we draw closer to the 2010 federal election, with advertising and opinions about the goods and the bads of the government's proposed mining resources “super-profits” tax.

Being one with something of an impartial interest in such matters, matters which short-and-long term influence the well-being of the poorer people, I am fast tiring of the “blurb”.

Blurb which comes from utterly incredible sources, such as the billionaire mining magnate, Gina Reinhardt, and one of her uptop cronies in mining, Clive Palmer, neither of whom, in my opinion, have any right to make the slanderous and blatantly untrue comments against the current government's attempts to make Australia a better Economically, more Equitably-managed nation.

On 6th June, after Palmer had made untrue statements to media about what his company is doing in reaction to the proposed tax, he backed-down. This adds to his being a non-credible source in the debate, on top of his having clearly very self-interested motives, as does Georgina Rinehart, who rides the wave of ridiculously excessive wealth inherited from the deceased iron-ore magnate Lange Hancock.

What inspires a women of her calibre to get-on the tray of a truck and with a loud-hailer chant with self-interested employees, at least in the fields of mining, if not in her pay, and if not “rent-a-protest”, will not be fathomed, for clearly she and her fellow chanters are not in the least bit interested in the nation's overall capital interest, and therefore will never give a frank, honest admission.

But with her are the uptop, upclub, upemselves lobbyists, primarily of the totally corrupt, which translates as mentally ill, right wing of the Australian sycophants' clubs, most represented in the public eye by our utterly unqualified, obstructionist parliamentary Opposition, led by the lately unheard Tony Abbott.

The hubris of these mining magnates, Andrew Forrest another, is what we have come to expect from the super-wealthy, but nevertheless will never, in the light of Balance and Reason, give them any more credibility.

However this raw fact does not stop them from paying any media outlet, or advertising and consulting corporation to say the most outrageous things.

Outrageous because to even the dullest minds, they are talking out of turn, that-is they are saying things which could, could, have very negative ramifications on the future welfare of a large section of the Australian population.

It is unquestionably very irresponsible of them to so vociferously say what they do.

In this easy-access-to-media day-and-age, this is one of the negative results, where, if you have enough money, SOMEONE will take it to get your opinion “on-air”.

So...?

While being exiled from the post of leading a military take-over of the British royal throne, and thus of the world, I keep my sanity (UMMMM?) by watching these in-the-end, in the perfect world, unnecessary debates, arguments, media-blasts, and do this....

In regard to the title of this post, I personally have no doubts as to not who, but which debate is correct. That I am also somewhat poor in absorbing and understanding “details” of economic treaties and prognostications, means that I must admit to not fully in-taking the intricacies of such as the government's plans.

This therefore means I cannot stand to advocate the plan, but defer to the far more astute minds of, highly qualified economists, such as one Bryan Kavanagh, a quietly-spoken Champion, who was then, and perhaps still is, a Land Valuer, and whom I met years ago at the 31 Hardware Street Melbourne offices of the Henry George League.

Another is another quietly-spoken bloke, er-Champion, Phillip Anderson, who began “Economic Indicator Services” (EIS) while we were associating as drinking and Philosophising mates and who has since taken EIS to great and respected heights, with, it seems, it's head office in London England.

Bryan apparently regularly sits in with a Warrior of the airwaves on Melbourne's Community Radio 3CR, Karl Fitzgerald's “Renegade Economists”, and recently, on 05/05/10, spoke on the show of how happy he and his Economist fellows - REALEconomist Fellows, finance-people of the Highest Order, were with what Dr Ken Henry put out in his Henry Tax Review for the federal government.

Phil, I much later found out, via a random search of the web, was interviewed representing EIS on SkyBusiness channel
on 18th Aug 2009, where he gave a succinct explanation of “boom and bust” economic cycles, and their intimate relationship with “land values”.

So, having been “blessed” with these associations in the last century, and having myself attended some REALPolitik and REALEconomics tutorials at a very well-qualified school in Melbourne (The School of Philosophy), I find I'm short on tolerance of all our mainstream media when they make sensationalist airtime headlines about the clearly corruption-centred outbursts and what amount to “blackmail” by the upper-end of our national economy, and opinion-polls which cannot tell the real picture of how the majority of Australians feel about what is theft of our wealth and resources as stolen by the in-the-main offshore monetary interests.

So, having recently staggered onto the “Indymedia” website, and quickly took in it's perceived thrust ( I also met some of their watchers/contributors in Nimbin, and was not impressed), after leaving the “Green Left” mobs to their own cliques of radical private school “outlaws” if-not mere drop-outs, who generally will not go outside of the church's ideological boundaries, and increasingly concerned about the mileage the mainstream corruption is getting via the mainstream and thoroughly agenda-ridden - read-corrupt media, I get “agitated” and want SOMEONE to put it in plain English, or “Globe-ish” as I recently heard it called, and cut through the agendas and the slime and the spin and the blah and the politrix of the era, which if SOMEONE does not cut with Straight and True tongues soon, might be our last, for any upward opportunity.

It seems to me, that our media is out of control, and has possibly always been thus, because it is mainly about keeping us stupid so that the British and Eurapean elites can keep ripping the resources and wealth from under Australians feet.

That they keep doing this to us surely opens the door of the courts for charges of treason, by, that-is against our media for lying to us, and for NOT going to THE FACTS, which are so eloquently and calmly spoken about by such as the Champions of the Henry George League and it's many, many affiliate organisations, here and in nearly every major city in the world.

Indymedia and Green Left are vulnerable of being also implicated in these types of charges, for the same offences, as well of course with about every other media outlet in Australia.

It was a surprise that Sky Business, a Fox-Murdoch channel did the interview with Phil Anderson, and must be commended for it. But they surely remain on the uptop, upemselves, upclub side of the HONEST ECONOMICS divide.

How many of Australia's Community Radio stations go to these issues without fear or favour I don't know. Nimbin's NIM-FM was all about “other issues” let's say, mainly of keeping the drop-out upclubsters in the pulse of modern and mostly very high quality music, some Marijuana related hours were put in, but also many a code was sent out as warnings of police raids, immigration parties and “doofs”, rather than ANY REALPolitik or REALEconomic airtime.

Years ago, when the subversives started infiltrating the left-wing youth political orgs in Melbourne, I watched Community Radio take a dive and turn trivial.

But as attested to by Renegade Economists on 3CR, it may be that the Righteous, with or without daddy's inheritance and a few upper-suburban houses to loiter in, have taken back the territory in our more local, Community media.

As to whether the same is even possible in the probably-dwindling “local” or suburban print media market and editors' rooms, I doubt it?

As for TV.....? Somehow, I suspect that the few who have managed to get broadcast licences for local, Community television, would go with REALEconomics televisings, but thus far, as-in of the last 2-or-20-thousand years, the thugs in the pay of the bighouse and real estate mobsters have kept them off air.

And besides, what percentage of the viewers do the small stations, radio, internet and TV, get? Not a majority, that's-a-for-a-sure?

So, how do we convince the mainstream media to GET REAL!?

I used to attend the School of Philosophy, who have “students” of all ages, right across the nation and across the world.

Most of them, then, were from the upper echelons of society.

Pretty, in the end, self-absorbed, so were not the kind one would expect to get out on the streets and march in a protest or demonstration.

This is a tragic shame really, because they were then, quite ahead of the rest of Australian society in terms of doing the Work any Genuine Philosopher would know they must, hour-by-hour, do.

Stay “in the present moment” Etcetera.

Meditation was an integral part of their daily events, regime, morning and night, as well as much given time to assist at the School, one because iot was essentially run by volunteers, but also because it was the place to be for that irreplaceable “Good Company”, where humour was enjoyed with the Highest Integrity, and the deepest issues were the main reason for attendance.

There too, were the courses on this Land Economics. An Economic Philosophy unsurpassed and of which the current debate about resources tax and the theft by offshore and self-interested mining magnates is, in fact, centred.

So it strikes me that these schools, and the several thousand who attend, while recommended to not jump-up-and-down in public about the True Taxation Science of Land Rent, would be highly effective were they to ORGANISE themselves out of their usually “cushy” positions of employment, and arrange a NON-POLITICAL, for that is rightly, what they and the School are, public protest against all the misinformation being thrown around by the, treasonous media, and political opposition.

NON-POLITICAL, because the core of their Economic Philosophy, goes way above all our in reality fabricated political divisions.

Political divisions which, as likely, ALL our mainstream media, do not want commonly known, because it would kill-off most of their moneymaking schemes.

Schemes, agendas, which ARE NOT, for the Good of All!

Having been exiled from that School in 1995, by subversives-anonymous, I do not know where they in general stand today.

Then the advice, and Good Advice, was to keep our head low, for it is a major thing, and has always attracted much antipathy, again, from the utterly corrupt bighouse mobs.

Today, things ARE different, and a hefty proportion of the power has shifted to the Common People. People who have always been Outlawed for refusing to bow to the dominant paradigm. So I put it that those in such as the School can now safely speak out or march out in support of the most Important and Vital Economic Issue of our time.

Land and Tax Reform.

Therefore, surely as this farcical debate rages nationwide, without waiting in futility for a messiah to lead them, there must be significant enough Right-minded People from all classes with enough mettle, and with the right contacts, to organise the polity to call for an end to the stupidity of false assertions by such as the mining lobby, et al, by standing in force FOR the Proper, as in Property, systems of Taxation and Economic Reform.

Whether the offshore interests can muster enough corrupt ferment to incite a war or not, there are few options available to Humanity today, but to Stand, Shoulder-to-Shoulder and to give our government the confidence to get through the reforms we all need.

Unions, Outlaws, Radicals, Gangsters, Clubsters, Environmentalists, Business-owners and Employees, Aborigines, and generally concerned and enwisened People, can Rule the Streets, once, and For All.

Fear nothing, I say, for you all, have "The Angels" on your side!

So Mote It Be!
