The Church pulpit is mass hypnotism!
Or is that mass terrorism?
Have you listened to what the clergy prattle on about when they're up there?

The Real Cost on a Pensioner's Life.
Over the last 18 months I've been keeping records of all expenses on a van I recently bought, namely one HOLDEN SHUTTLE '85 model 1 tonner.
These are noted below.
This became important after "moving" to the larger vehicle, from a HOLDEN GEMINI '79 MODEL STATION WAGON, home for the previous five and a half years, as the fuel costs rose with the increase in size and thus "carrying capacity" of my home.
On a pension (aside from the other political complications of my life which kept me "on the road" for that time and to now) life is very frugal, unless one is blessed with their own "freehold" title of their home.
Rental assistance is vital if one is to occupy usual accommodation, ie., apartment, flat or free-standing house, etc, and I dread to think how a mortgagee copes with rent assistance to help pay the "death-pledge" if they are forced onto social security benefits.
So! With the above complications to life, I had no option, for the Sake of the Cause I was Fighting for, but to "go on the road".
However, a conundrum arose after a while, where I saw that I was spending a larger amount of money on petrol as would be spent on accommodation. This limited by mobility.
Then there was the ongoing upkeep of the old girl, which became a lot after the several thousand miles I'd done since '98, from Melbourne to Darwin and many points in between.
THEN there was the expense to myself, in time and fuel, in the business of upkeeping what IS my home. My "place of usual residence", as Centrelink might put it.
Well, as far back 1999-2000 I'd discussed this with an officer at Box Hill Centrelink.
She saw my case, as well as the macro-implications to the "system" and all connected, were the case to be put that I should qualify for rental assistance for the "Rent" or "upkeep and provision" of my principle residential abode - the van.
So, 'til a few days ago, this had always remained an undocumented theory, with no stats etc.
Then...., after 18 months of keeping receipts and "outgoings" for the "upkeep and provision" of my recently purchased van, of fuel and parts (inc tyres, oil & filter etc), I had the bright idea of accounting for all my living expenses, and how much the car/accommodation cost me, annually and weekly.
This I have come to know intrinsically, after "a practiced period" on social security, roughly enough, but was surprised when my "outgoings" figures came to the very same dollar as the pension payment($235.30 weekly expenses. $235.00 weekly pension!) Cross-my-heart, they're not rubbery.
Then I had the idea that I could account in dollar and hourly terms for the effort I expend "upkeeping" my accommodation, including how much fuel I used in that upkeeping.
What these figures actually say, I've not concluded yet, other than some mysterious feeling that there is a landmine in there, in regard to what a pesnioner's real cost of living is, and that there is an unnaccounted-for dollar figure in the lives of not just we "nomads", but perhaps in the "statics" as well.
PENSION: $235.00/week = $12220/year
Hypothetical hourly rate, at 38 hours-a-week, of $235: $6.18/hr
Hypothetical hours worked, at $10/hr on $235/wk: 23.5 hours
Cost of Living: Per Week Per Year
A - Food, $ 90.00 $ 4680.00
B - Cooking Gas, $ 1.75 $ 90.00
C - Petrol, $ 45.00 $ 2500.00
D - Van maintenance, $ 23.70 $ 1300.00
Da - Shed-au-Mobile (Trailer) $ $
E - Van & Trailer Rego, RWC, Insurance, $ 9.15 $ 476.00
F - Clothing & footwear, $ 2.30 $ 120.00
G - Medicine, $ 60.00 $ 3000.00
H - Herbal Oils, $ 0.76 $ 40.00
COST of LIVING subtotal: $ 235.30 $12236.00
J - "Hobbies": Politics, Pampleteering, internet, $ 5.80pw $ 300.00pa
K - computing, journalism, $ 2.90 $ 150.00
L - other consumables, $ 1.92 $ 100.00
Personal "extra-curricula" work subtotal: $ 10.62 $ 550.00
So, including my "extracurricula" activities, my average weekly expenses are $245.92
whereas my pension is $235 weekly. The "difference" is averaged over the year remember, so the extra $10.62 I average each week beyond my income, comes from "skimping" for several weeks on whichever of the above costs I can do without or with less of for however long it takes to save the money.
As well, recently I sold my bar fridge and drawing board for $150 in total.
NOW!
Here come the unnaccounted-for figures, expenses in fact, I believe, to the pensioner's life.
I called them "Fuel & unpaid Labour Costs"
Per Year Per Week
a: A to L "Cost of fuel": $ 2046 $ 39.35
b: A to L "unpaid work hours": 1196 hrs 23 hrs
c: A to L "unpaid labour cost": $15,180 $ 291.92
a & c: Cost to me to maintain Life: $17,226 $ 331.26
(I'm uncertain the "c: A to L unpaid labour cost" figures above are correct, and haven't the time to fix it yet. I'll get around to it asap.)
C,D, Da & E equate to "rental accommodation" costs:
$ 5,985 $ 115.10
Of these "Fuel & Unpaid Labour Costs", the fuel is paid for at purchase, but the Labour Costs are evaluated while working on an hourly $ rate of $10.00, and are what I would charge myself were I to follow a tax department regime of income and deductions assessment.
Perhaps the $1709 figure of "Fuel & Unpaid Labour Cost" could be called "bond" on my accommodation..........
to be continued.......
Friday 3rd September '04
The figures a: A to L "Cost of fuel": $ 2046 $ 39.35
and c: A to L "unpaid labour cost": $15,180 $ 291.92
are what it costs me to acquire the goods and services listed in the top table A to L.
Naturally I DO NOT pay for nor am I paid for the labour I exhert to "get me bits and pieces", but, that the average time I spent working for myself, but without being paid, is on-average 23-point-5 hours a week, a considerable amount of time, which must place restrictions on other areas of one's life, suggests it perhaps should be considered in the business of social security payments.
Hopefully I'll be able to clean this blog up over the next weeks..........
This is unaccounted-for by such as Centrelink.

Oil Crisis - Is it so?
The "oil crisis" seems, to some seers, to be a "furphy".
Innummerable quite credible Alternatives are known and often readily available, but clearly there is powerful resistance to the development of the more-if-not-most Sustainable sources of energy.
As with local-to-global escalations of civic breakdown, so often in developing nations contrived and stirred by western capitalist subversives, to subvert any growing local political-economic Progressive Movements seen to rise, which usually leads to civil war, creates international involvement whence the global cop, the US military-commercial government and buddies can enter and cement it's McCrap culture etc., so, I feel that with the drive by the middle-class, financial and concerned thinkers, as Grass Roots as any, and those deep Alternative Pro-active inventors to research, develop and popularise what would ideally steer the trillions of dollars blindly spent on oil away to the phenomenal Green and Just Options available, the US military-corporate oil authority - Chaney, Rumsfeld and Bush, and partner-corps-in-cahoots with all energy-industry mega-corps, have reacted by seriously "notching-up social disquiet by the media and rising prices of one of our most "essential services" - the supplier of our "darkest" energy - OIL!?
(I suspect that sentence is the longest one I've ever wrote!?)
This is clearly a case of plunder by the powerful energy corporations, and when we cut through the utterly false "middlemen" spin (advertising and marketing agencies and, to-date, politicians), it becomes even more obvious that it is the Soul if-I-may, of the Grass Roots roots, Natural Local Cultures of Self-Sustainability, that the global-cop-corporate marketplace most plunders.
That this is the juggernaut's targeted enemy seems clearly to mean "free enterprise" in supplies of essential resources, and as we are so fucking consumptive of our energy resources, "free enterprise" in the supply of oil is the enemy of Local, Humane, Democratic cult-free and Perennial Cultures.
The oil-crisis has arisen since the masses of Human Beings once more found their voices, speaking out against the injustices of western capitalism and it's rorting of the Principle Laws of the Land.
The oil crisis, along with the "war on terror" and "on drugs", etc.
I'm a Rogue-Red-Ragger, if ever there was one, but the Land Rent Principles of Henry George that I Advocate, are as close to any Fabled "Middle Kingdom" as I could ever hope to find.
This e-ssayblog is an honest shot at capitalism, but not to condemn it entirely.
All things in moderation, aye?

Politics for Children and Youth
Tuesday 17th August 2004.
Past attitudes of "not in front of the children" has been Wise though regretable.
Predominant politics 'til today has rested upon some High and Noble Ideas, Ideals and Ideologies, but existed amidst some utterly rude and heathen realities "on-the-ground".
Much of these hard realities, of Indigenous genocide, "dissappearances" of brave whistleblowers, and all manner of horrific torture and death meted-out to dissenters speaking against establishment-manipulated police, Land and financial corruption, etc, as often the REALPOLITIK Stalwarts and even Prophets, while events were beyond any two or two thousand parents to stop - the delicate Soul of the child, it was rightly for the time decided, as Best protected from the crude shattering realities of adult political life.
Today, the facts are "out-there" and few children, perhaps of west-and-east are ignorant of the mean-ness of the world, that it has been so forever, BUT! - now more than ever they too have been given the "Keys of Knowledge" to their own Full Potential, AND the Universal, permanent link between politics and Economics.
But now, the Primacy of the Economics of the relationship between People and the Land.
Also, politics has been kept from kids for fear of their yet-to-be "harnessed", yet-to-be repressed "verve" when they are aroused on issues which strike at their innate, Natural sense of Justice and fairness, as we have always seen in student political expressions and revolts.
This Brilliant energy, when combined with revealed facts about political injustice, which is basically "any rorting of the Root Laws of the Land" by a minority against the majority (but can be a majority against a vilified minority) with the Passion of a fairly Virtuous (if not naive) "sense of Love" for all things and People, has often been the catalist for major revolutions and reforms in all corners of the world.
This is why the 'establishment', corrupt by it's very nature, has structured this "adults-only" world of politics, diplomacy and totally hypocritical policies, making it appear too complex for children to understand.
However, this isn't an e-ssay about giving youth the vote. Not too early anyway.
For politics has become (quite deliberately) very complex, and demands usually, a wealth of experience to manage without the last resort to violence or war.
Experience here is the key, although Wisdom is critical when it comes to deciding the welfare or future of a group of people, whether the family or the whole nation, and Wisdom it is often said, comes from experience. (So it would seem the Ideal for all voters to seek Wise Counsel on matters pertaining to the Well-Being of the Group.)
I'd say yes and no to "Wisdom comes from experience". But that's an whole 'nother topic, which ranges into questions of "what is thinking?" and "Who is thinking?" and "whence comes thought?" and thus, "Whence comes Good Guidance, Right choice, Truth, etc?" "What is Wisdom?" et al.
Or, is the western belief system and system of inquiry correct about where we look for answers to important social-thus-personal questions, what with the "scientific approach" of outward observation, experience and deduction, while ignoring the "INNER" propensities, remains dominant?
Certainly, an education system unfettered by those past needs to keep the hard truth from the tender minds of youth, would give accurate versions of history, and accurate versions of such enormous distortions to Human Progress as the wave of American Universities set-up by tyrannical Land-owning railroad tycoons of the 19th Century, purely to deceive the nation of the United States of America of the important, inseparable relationship between the People, ALL People, and the Land the tycoons so unjustly stole, from the American Indians as much as from the settler-migrants of the new and growing nation.
An education system unfettered by private interests riddled with sleazy hidden agenda, would NOT pump the childs mind with completely untrue and seriously perverting information about "How to Be Happy", about the untenable nature and design of material wealth, of consumerism, of looking for happiness in being greedy, in spending money on superficial products, most of which submerge the Soul in a tragedy of material addictions, fanaticisms and excesses, all of which the Wise Elders of any Self-Centred Community would strongly warn against.
In a True Democracy, as was before the psychopathic spread of our ancient Celtic ancestors quite vibrant in Indigenous nations everywhere, Justice was Natural, where basic Laws, Laws which upheld and underpinned all other laws, were Known and Respected, and not hidden from the children.
In the west, these fundamental laws have been hidden from children because most-all of our ancestors have seriously broken the Primary Law of the Land, to the point where the whole socio-economy runs on centuries of deceit and forced silence. To speak out against that sad fact, meant instant vilification and exile, if-not a sad and horrible premature death.
My parents Knew about Henry George I think, but Dad would go "ballistic" whenever I spoke of him, suggesting that he was rightly-enough shit-scarred of word getting to the establishment that we were talking about these Primary, VERY sensitive issues.
It seems to me, quite stupid to keep the usually most astute minds and hearts of children from developing their political accumen from an early age, and being hit at voting-age with a barrage of meaningless platitudes and language, from adults that most kids can see are mere 'clones', puppets of a larger, sinister juggernaut of global corporate oppression.
A juggernaut which thrives on all the "nasties" of life - war, deceit, pollution, corruption of the political process - and finally, the invasion of one's own ability to think clearly about which system is Best for them and their family et al!
I don't think children should have the vote too early.
Maturity on sorting all the issues of political-social lifestyles is essential to a Right-minded Polity, and it is unfair that adults should prematurely burdon kids minds and hearts with too much of this.
It is also a crime of the worst order when adults use the political process, and their ability to misguide kids politically to their own devious advantage, and argue that kids should be kept out of politics, when it is clear they are acting with NO concern for the future of the larger family of the region, nation or whole Human population.
"Don't you worry about 'asylum-seekers' son....., that's 'men's' business."
However, kids have a right to be Honestly informed about those issues, too big to grasp-but very influential in forming the life and mind of all of us, especially children and youth.
I think it's close to true that typically, an individual's political/Philosophical "Maturity" is not awakened in them until their mid-thirties.
I also think this is typical of the "western" individual, they being the greatest victims of Mammonic advertising and marketing predators, thus slowing their intellectual development seriously, and often permanently.
The very reason why the west today is in such chaos, is that the so-called 'elders' of western politics and society have upheld a most toxic deceit to the People, young and old about Economics and it's Root - Land and Labor.
Kids deserve to know who their boss is going to be when they join the workforce, how much he/she is going to fleece and oppress them, and how much he/she is going to try to corrupt them into supporting the same rotten game.
Give the kids the FACTS on these whole-of-Society issues, and they can nought but choose Wisely when they come of voting age.
There you have it! This is why the conservatives ("conservers-of-root-corruptions") don't want kids to get-the-facts on politics.

Kids deserve to know who their boss is going to be when they join the workforce, how much he/she is going to fleece and oppress them, and how much he/she is going to try to corrupt them into supporting the same rotten game.
Give the kids the FACTS on these whole-of-Society issues, and they can nought but choose Wisely when they come of voting age.
There you have it! This is why the conservatives ("conservers-of-root-corruptions") don't want kids to get-the-facts on politics.

Public Schools and “Independent” Schools?
Public schools, in this age (perhaps western societies ‘adolescence’ in “the Art of Educating”, in terms of growth and maturity), are invaluable.
But they are more a response to other deprivations besetting those most effected by unaccounted-for, world-wide Economic disparities.
“Private Schools” per se, are at their most dangerous while “managed” by today’s religions.
Independent secular schools which offer non-dogmatic eclectic courses pertaining to and including the “Spiritual Inquiry” are the nearest students need and probably should be to ANY luring religion.
A Just and Equitable Society/Community would have little or no need for “public schools” as we know them, for poverty would not determine the extent of anyone’s education.
Rather, educational needs would be much reduced, where the majority of ‘courses’, created in response to established ‘industries’ of reactionary specialist “professions” etc., and other products of the loosed imaginations of wealthy “do-nothin’s”, would have no place.
A Just Society would ensure none were deprived of the Best Education possible. One culturally and individually ‘tailored’ to draw-forth the Best in every student.
A Just Society would also have reigned-in the dated tax-rorts of the undeserving establishment, freeing all classes and members of Community to pursue whichever economic and educated life they choose, for themselves and for their children.
This way, we go closer to ensuring a Safe and Peaceful world for our descendants yet to live in the coming centuries.

US Govt Guilty of – BAD GOVERNMENT
US Govt Guilty of – BAD GOVERNMENT
12TH August, 2004
Nimbin.
The administration of GW Bush is guilty of making unjustifiable errors in deciding the best, safest, path to take in regard to the Iraq and Middle-Eastern “situation” in general, for general world security.
This is undeniably evidenced in the growing number of reports by more-than qualified authorities.
The mounting evidence seems certain to lead to what I believe are quite justifiable charges of "War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity" against the Government of George W Bush.
Australia’s Liberal/National Government cannot honestly avoid similar charges for it’s (political) part.
There is an argument for Tony Blair’s decision to join forces with the US military/corporate monster, which I glean as being of a kind:
“A unilateral American military machine (on the loose) invading not just Iraq, but as loose-cannons might-be-well-expected-to-go, the wider Middle-Eastern, Arabic and Islamic region, threatens the worst outcome, thus an horrendous 21st century for the whole planet.”
So, having to ‘factor-in’ massive rorts and western corporate corrupt activity within the Middle-East (deviously to fuel tension and administrative infrastructural breakdown as much as plunder), and across the wider world, as a result of “declaring war on Iraq”, Blair, I suggest, saw it better, "that in the American military war-room, Britain’s top military advisers and personnel should at least witness, and at most diplomatically seek to ‘govern’ or temper any immoderate US temptations to run-rampant across the Islamic/Arabic world", as I reckon Blair rightly feared they would do.
My take on it, is that any ‘presence’ of an ally such as Britain (being their ‘key’ friend in global politics, and perhaps the nation the US government respects most) especially as advisers in US war-rooms, moderated the many US psychopathic propensities to lose control of the situation and resort (typically) to heavier and broader military actions.
Actions, in this high-potential scenario, certain to have ‘fucked-things-right-up’ globally, for a long-long time.
For centuries, if not longer.
This scenario - my gleanings - open to correction – nevertheless, does not negate the HARD TRUTH that Bush, and for his own errors of judgement, Howard, have failed terminally in providing The People All, of our two nations with 1st and foremost, Good Government.
Good Governance extends to the obligations of every employee and to the vigilant confirmation of every bit of advice the so-called “leader” receives and acts upon.
While we are plagued with the parliamentary model involving the flawed structure of requiring individual leaders, bad government is assured.
But the ”requiring of individual leaders” is as much a fabrication – at least an extreme focus – “myopism” - by vested interests in the media, upon individual personalities, capitalising upon the lowest common denominator of ignorance-bred gossip and public opinion.
Ignorance-bred by the ‘establishment’ to overshadow the more urgent macro-political-economic aspects of the Community.
Alexander Downer’s knowledge of terrorist warnings about Bali, weeks before the Bali bombings, and failure to alert the people is another example of BAD GOVERNMENT by the coalition under the Howard/Costello regime.
Good government is about ensuring Sound Advice and thus Good decision-making.
On both accounts, the Liberal/National government has failed tragically.

As it's gone over five or six years, I've been "snapped" by mongrel and happy tourists alike.
I'm getting used to it, but still wannna strangle some of those exceedingly arrogant European and British yuppies when they hold-up their dinky tv-phones facing my way.
Ho-hum.... it's tough at the topppppp....
Nevertheless, however and "Hello!"
Wiff this sublime medium for to slap your grey-matter right-on-the-planetary-plate as-it-were, and having scanned through a few other blogger's site, I decided it's time for a photo I might select, instead of shots of my bare-arse being wiped on a toilet from behind, or the ingracious snaps of me stuffing a sloppy pie in-a-my-mouth etc.
For this salubrious event, I thought I'd make something of it, and went deep-mohawk with red tips - the shot the rich-plebs never get!
Assoon as I can, I'll snap myself, and without fear or facial, updump it, for a Global laugh, aye!

Dispelling 'the Messiah Myth'
Mon 2nd August, ‘04
Nimbin
Over the last three or four days I’ve been aware that I had a virus of the ‘flu-type’, or was being attacked by some other cretin.
Last night was a heavy night.
I drove down to the “Coates industrial estate" on Sibley St to sleep, as I often do, in the van, o’course.
I felt OK at bedtime, but during the night I was awoken by a blocked and runny nose.
My sinus gland was pumping mucus overtime, making for a very uncomfortable situation..
Hankerchiefs were all used so I rsorted to toilet paper, and worse…..?
I guess this began in the early AM hours, for it was a long night of rolling, spitting (into a bottle) nose-blowing, and eventually, ‘though it is interesting that this didn’t happen ‘til after daybreak, I could feel an ‘alien’ energy 1st in my stomach, then after the first vomit, the foreign little demon (we’ll call him “Peter”) seemed to get really aggressive in my lower digestive system.
I was involuntarily dry-wretching for a minute or so, only waning when I squatted and tensed my abdomen muscles.
As the dark night (it was a brilliant full moon actually, and cloudless) wore-on, I detected some ‘alien’ agitation in my nasal mucus glands!?
I realised this was an occult attack on the mucus glands to simulate a ‘flu’ virus-like reaction.
I focused my attention (finally) on the thought of retracting or closing-down that nasal gland, and quick enough, my nose cleared, and as at 9AM is still fairly dry. (As at 2-45PM, it’s trashed again, indicative of a real virus, I must say).
For at least 5 hours I’ve had a headache, of either a tobacco-grog hangover (but a very mild dose last night), or again that headachy discomfort typical of the flu.
So, one is left but to assume I HAVE the flu, and that the strength-sapping effects are being played-upon by “the alien energies!”
The discomfort of last night is not new to me. We’ve all been “flueey-pooey”.
However ----------------
The “alien attack” I refer to is of the occult variety, projected onto myself, or, my mind, by a bunch of crude-dudes - most all being of the “private-school” indoctrinated variety, like “Peter”, a supposedly "freakish-jerk-off" who has appeared in Nimbin in the last year, and has been harassing me since, with utterly non-sensicle questions/statements etc.
All done purely, I’m sure, to “diminish” my self-confidence - a critical means of defence against black magic of the Christian warp. He's also unrelenting in trying to “steal my light” as a witch might say of a vampire, (he’s often jerking himself about in the café. It’s obvious he’s staying active to ward-off the same kinds of attacks) by moving in-and-out of my “personal boundaries”, serving it’s purpose, as is made obvious by his little demonic laugh whenever he manages to distract me from reading or such.
Whenever I try for a sensible conversation, he fucks-it-up quite deliberately.
There is no doubt he is “on a mission” and if so it's from/for the Catholic church (he said he’s Catholic, but he could be anyone of them. He "smells" Catholic.)
I assert, Peter is a fraud, an occultist of no Good Intentions.
Although in his defence, he, like all followers of the “Messiannic cults”, is psychologically very astray AND psychopathically ill (due to the “original flaws” of Abramic religions). "Forgive him Lord, ....for he knows not...........!"
But typically, he can’t see beyond the Catholic’s occult hypnotism and indoctrination.
I assume the Vatican, Canterbury, Chicago and Tel Aviv are aware of these points about the typical moronic-zombie, under a religion's spell. Are they aware of the dangers to Humanity though? If they are, then they'd be very aware of that which they call Satan............
Also, the whole premise of Judaism and Christianity is that “one day” God will reappear as the Man-God Messiah in-the-main apparently, to save a 4000-plus year old sick religious cult from it’s very-own ignorance, and from the now evident repercussions of 4-plus Millennia of many dangerously flawed beliefs, theories and doctrines, that can be seen for what they are, is overflowing with roaring gaps in it's logic and Wisdom.
An anarchistic, totally chaotic evolution of the Human Species, which needs Good Christian Crusaders to "save the heathens from themselves", be-the heathen Arabs or Aborigines or the Iraqis of today, is what the dumb-fuck Christian believe is their Mission. The Reality, the Truth if-you-like, is exactly the opposite.
Too many Cultures the Christians have plundered and overrun, were, pre-invasion, quite Balanced, Harmonious and Spiritual Cultures. Civilisations indeed! There predominated Profound Reverence for the Spiritual Forces of Nature, of Man (Humans) and of the Gods, and a Powerful, Whole-of-Community Will to Work with the Higher Powers, Gods, God.
..Then along came the missionaries..................
"AND HERE WE ARE?"
We've all been sucked-in by charismatic charlatans, yet even after the hardest of lessons, many more than will admit it, we keep "a quiet eye open" for that Hero who might Lift us beyond the misery we see all round.....
This is so typically western as a way of thinking..... looking OUT for INNER Peace!?
HARK! I'VE FOUND IT! "THE GREAT CATHOLIC OXYMORON!!!"
"Looking OUT for INNER Peace!?" With all the counter-Spiritual "fruits":
"DIRECT FROM ISRAEL! -Loose-mind-mania!"
Was it the Golden Calf they ate? Perhaps it had BSE? (Bovine Yonis or "MAD COW" disease?)
How sick are they?
Criminally, beyond the order of the worst war-criminals.
The thing most to be feared about the Judeo-Christian (unholy) alliance, is that, (like last night for myself) they will resort to anything in the vain (as in “vanity”) attempt to keep their crumbled religions afloat.
(EDIT: 6th August '04: I must say that that night events drove me to this little bloge-ssay, and since this e-ssay has been published, a week or less now, I've been hassled by the "straights", who seem to exude either the Christian spell or right-wing conservativeness. Wherever they have acquired their occult powers, through the Satanic Christian flocks, or some psychopathic town 'elder' is of no interest here, clearly they've been projecting occult onto my bwrain to piss-me-off.
What they hope to gain from that has innumerable possibilities, but one likely one is that I will "loose-it" and crown one of them with an iron bar. I'd go to jail or the psyche-hospital as a Demon-possessed maniac, to whit I could not argue, for it would be these same arseholes who're projecting into me to send me off-the-rails.
I wish, but I'm sorry, I see their plan, close to success as it was, and as of the last twenty years, I have not yet lost it and murdered anyone, and will endeavour to maintain that Pledge to myself into the future.
The whole of Jewish and Christian religion’s existence, all it’s war-crimes, and an immense (investment in a “theoretical?!” - FAAAARRRKKK!?!?!?!) reputation, is vested in and depends solely upon “A Messiah!”
That’s a lot of dependence, wealth and power for any individual to safely and Wisely handle.
What if, in Truth, the very notion of a Messiah, a ridgey-didge World Saviour, was wrong?!
(APAPLEXY*^$#&(*&^$^%$!!!!???) (Tremors under Rome!)
In religious idiots, being as they are, such a question sparks all sorts of spell-based, violent reactions from them. Because these "Messiannic" religions have gotten too big to possibly “manage” any such Truth, or thus to maintain ANY Spiritual Wisdom, bringing-forth such quite valid questions are rejected-point-blank.
If you observe such antics by Jews and Christians to avoid the Truth, you may well see a “puppet-master’s” spell at work, tugging and jerking fools all over the place, before they, Christians anyway, have a fit and start screaming “ONLY CHRISTIANS CAN GO TO HEAVEN!” and “JESUS IS THE WAY!?” etc.
Jews, I think are not in the same basket as "reborn" Christian.
So! Peter is in Nimbin to push me out, so I will be more accessible to the filthy and warped clasp of the religious anti-Christs - Jews and Christians, because they are paranoid about losing or of not having control enough (over the purported Messiah) to “manage” the situation of any Natural-thus-Truly-Arising Prophet. (A late addition, edit to this possibly puts "Peter" in quite another "basket", which I shall not identify now, and is dancing for two masters - the Micks, and Hmmmm?)
FOR THE CHURCHES KNOW, a Loose Prophet (or two?) - would bring the religions 1), to account, and 2), to their knees. She/He would bring down their dark empires - or at least “have a chat with ‘em,” about their errings………
Now hard as it is to do this blogthing on public library computers, an hour at a time ain't enough to make sure my "points" in these e-ssays are as clear and complete as I am seeing them in my head - y' un'erstand? So I maybe missing something in my case for the Non-Messiah.
But I think this suggests a contradiction - my posit that all Messianic religions are wrong, then talking about “loose Prophets” telling how to sort-out their mess, etc?
(I should know I s’pose, being the One these dumb-fuck religions reckon I am!?)
Maybe I am?! (Core-flummox-me?)
If I am, I am right in these analyses.
What a laugh I’d have, watching and listening to the clergy go freakin' NUTS with language to counter these postulations, and “prove” they are wrong.
If I am, I’m Right.
So, why are the Christian churches now ------ setting to screw-me-over?
Der….?
In December last year, I was finally told who the churches regarded as their, and of course Humanity’s deadliest enemy -
“HELL’S ANGELS MOTORCYCLE CLUB”!
Yar! Bewdiful!!!!
For some ten years I’d been kept in the dark about this, and involuntarily sent on “missions” to “DESTROY THE EVIL ONES!” by the church.
Now…………..,
I began riding a motorbike at 17 years of age, unlicensed, unregistered, NO laws, and a fast BSA 500cc single (B-50-SS unit construction ’71 model), in 1973.
I cut my teeth so-to-say with ex-Angels some 20 years-plus my age.
I fucking KNOW, you blind religious fools, that dudes like Hell's Angels ARE NOT as evil in their hearts as possibly the majority of the clergy. Most of the clergy wouldn't be aware of who is making their opinions for them. Ie., they're under hypnotic spells.
"Evil" is the very same as religious ignorance.
Since I was told about the Angels, in December last, I've seriously considered what my next step should be.
I'll tell you I've come to a dead-end in trying to properly "connect" with those I dared percieve as my "allies", after ten years of their, and my unknown enemies continuous lying and fuckheadedness toward me.
I guess, though am not sure, I should make note of all the fuckheads who wouldn't tell me about the Angels, who because of the Satanism of the heirarchy of Judaism and Christianity (themselves under ancient hypnotic spells) the general Jew or Christian is 'programmed' to come-on SHIT-SCARRED if their totally warped "puppett-masters" want it. So they'll mess themselves big-time if the sorcerer tells 'em these bikers are Satanic. Why? Because "they LOOK so evillllll?!!?!?"
"Making note", is saying thank-you to them, and is about as much as I can profer, these days, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED!
So, for the last ten years or so, in the eyes of the dumbfuck western religions, I have been "helped"?
Also, while this gross deception prevailed (as it had to, damn it!) for some six years minimum, a "lifeline" was still available to me, through some media addresses (I can't call them 'contacts' ) I had, and, also, after a period of about 3 to 5 years of the fucking church(es) IN ALL IT'S WISDOM (!?) binding ALL it's secondary private-school students and those from a church education to regard me as Satan incarnate, and thus I lost too much to mention - ALL Human associations, friendships, family and all my possessions - after 3 to 5 years the church had a "change of heart"?!
So for six years or so, they've been pushing me psychically to do the True Work they're all too fucked-over in their heads to do for themselves.
PLEASE MAXIE, save us from THEM! The EVIL ONES!!!
FAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!
Now, since hearing about my Brothers (a qualified use of the word "Brothers", having not been a rider for years, and having never actually joined any club, but used in the knowledge that we live and ride in the same Spirit of Freedom), the Angels, as I said, I considered MY options, but more importantly, the implications and ramifications of either one over the other choice.
I chose correctly.
Therefore, instead of the churches "searching their Souls" for where they fucked-up, they adopt the spell of stubborn reactionary and violent objection, which is exactly and Satanically what they threw at me last night.
The Anglican and Catholic "gangs" are low mothers no doubt about it, AND are perhaps the most deeply deceived and deluded religious mobs on Earth. They've been around in various disguises for 1700 years - AND STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT!!!!?
Fuck 'em.
Well, they got some things half-right, but these last 1700 years would test the Best of them.
Notice that such unrelenting decay and abject ignorance, was never such a problem in, for example, China, India and other "eastern" cultures, before the invaders and their evil "Missions" came?
"The more you deceive yourselves about ANYTHING,
.......the more you deceive yourselves about EVERYTHING!!!
(Quote me 1999 Victorian State election slogan)
Christian doctrine is riddled with flawed ideology, as well as with gross misinterpretations of Scripture. So it is obvious that such "Fine" dialogue, such delicate language containing anything of a Spiritual Truth (perhaps from some Wisdom gene) which elucidates Truth to lesser or unawakened ears, will be beyond them.
Added to this is my assertion that Christianity is in fact an occult sect of Judaism.
Stre-etchin' it a bit, a bloke could almost postulate that Christianity is in fact one which grew from quite deliberate intentions of ancient Israel, to counter-attack the invading Romans, and thus is militarist in intent. If there's any merit in such a wild postulation, this makes Christianity even less credible as a Genuine "G-O-D" centred religion.
The Holy Roman Empire, that grew from missionaries from Israel (?), is a prime example of a flawed ideology. And what is the REAL state of Life in Europe these days? Just ask all those who emigrate!
Good on yer Christians!?
Immediately I know many will react with argument for "ALL THE BENEFITS!" so-screamed of the likes of the long Roman Empire(s).
But let's be real? History tells us now that four thousand years (5, 6, or 7 thousand if you like) for one civilisation, perhaps even a daintily refined one like the poonse-plagued west, is nought, nothing, zilch, zero, in "Mature" terms, in "Enlightened" terms, when compared to an ancient-that-is-twenty-thousand year old Culture, or as Our Precious Aborigines SIXTY thousand years, perhaps 100 thousand and more.
Then there's the Garden of Eden??????? How long was that around before the Fall???
And what was It, that held it together for.....................e....o....n....s?
(Surprise me George Bush and agree?!)
Yet more!
"Religions" per se, are but the last, lowest remnant of any Genuinely Spiritual Culture. Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" makes clear reference to religions rise from the fall of Spirituality in the People. (Sorry I can't access it here-and-now to quote Him.)
That People find the need to make religion such an overt, prominant part of their and other people's lives, betrays the Subtle Nature of such "Stuff", for it is the most Personal Trip if-I-may, and is reduced in Quality if overtly displayed like the "western" mobs do. Yeshue said something about that too, aye?
To Understand this is to be a Taoist.
For, I believe that Tao, as-it-were, was not openly worshipped in the days before the world became ingulfed in the 20th Century "Industrial Wars Period", and the Communists clamped-down on "superstitous" religious practices. It was quietly Revered in all the People did, and was prayed to, offered Blessing to, in the "Altar-Room" in People's own homes. Temples existed, but were not I think visited every Sunday or such, en masse. More they were Quiet Places for Peaceful Contemplation. This Order I example, of China, reflects, assuming it is accurate, the Wisdom of China as a Nation, and ancient Nation, but perhaps more, an ancient Culture.
However, let's be BALANCED also, for I know China has been through many of it's own stormy periods too, and if I were anyone else I'd be snowed with those "email blocking thinees" telling me about the millions who died in the dark times in the mystic east, etc. Fair enough.
Whatever you believe, and maybe be able to prove, I put it that the Chinese Mind is in a far better condition than the western mind, or, again, was, before the British dealt their way in. And had been for MUCH longer, than the Judeo-Christian, western cult.
Clearly there is something Basic, Fundamental about such very-much older Cultures than the west is, and it seems to me that the sustainability of these "eastern" Cultures, is due to their never having lost the "Silence of God" within, or the ability and recognition of the importance of the Still Mind, to All Life.
Birds do It, Dogs do It, koalas do It, Lions, Eagles, Polar Bears do It, so why don't WE do It, (yeah..... "and fall in love....". Funnily enough, the Stillness aforementioned, is the same.)
Western religions have wandered a torturous and twisted road - from Eden, but Judaism and Christianity fell right-of-the-Spiritual-cliff long before Yeshua ben Joseph flew-in. And 2000 years longer-ago than the use of the word, "religion" came into use when refering to Cults, Orders etc.
[See my e-ssay "Free the Churches! FREE THE PEOPLE!" at my weblog site:
]
Having invested huge amounts of time, thought, money and action, not to mention the verbose self-flagulating rhetoric of supposedly "High Thinking" People, People who are known to most as "really missing the mark!", (though personally, I must say.............., I've had lovely conversations with them usually, uptil 1996), invested thus, managing my "messiah spell" if-you-like, the broadest Christian church is, (and now-a-days, Judaism and Islam) since my recent "renunciation" as-it-is, upset!?
("I Abdicate!" I had on back of my van through Autumn of 2004.)
This, totally aside form my five year long rebuttle of the very notion of a "Messiah", really gives them something to Struggle with..............

The “alien attack” I refer to is of the occult variety, projected onto myself, or, my mind, by a bunch of crude-dudes - most all being of the “private-school” indoctrinated variety, like “Peter”, a supposedly "freakish-jerk-off" who has appeared in Nimbin in the last year, and has been harassing me since, with utterly non-sensicle questions/statements etc.
All done purely, I’m sure, to “diminish” my self-confidence - a critical means of defence against black magic of the Christian warp. He's also unrelenting in trying to “steal my light” as a witch might say of a vampire, (he’s often jerking himself about in the café. It’s obvious he’s staying active to ward-off the same kinds of attacks) by moving in-and-out of my “personal boundaries”, serving it’s purpose, as is made obvious by his little demonic laugh whenever he manages to distract me from reading or such.
Whenever I try for a sensible conversation, he fucks-it-up quite deliberately.
There is no doubt he is “on a mission” and if so it's from/for the Catholic church (he said he’s Catholic, but he could be anyone of them. He "smells" Catholic.)
I assert, Peter is a fraud, an occultist of no Good Intentions.
Although in his defence, he, like all followers of the “Messiannic cults”, is psychologically very astray AND psychopathically ill (due to the “original flaws” of Abramic religions). "Forgive him Lord, ....for he knows not...........!"
But typically, he can’t see beyond the Catholic’s occult hypnotism and indoctrination.
I assume the Vatican, Canterbury, Chicago and Tel Aviv are aware of these points about the typical moronic-zombie, under a religion's spell. Are they aware of the dangers to Humanity though? If they are, then they'd be very aware of that which they call Satan............
Also, the whole premise of Judaism and Christianity is that “one day” God will reappear as the Man-God Messiah in-the-main apparently, to save a 4000-plus year old sick religious cult from it’s very-own ignorance, and from the now evident repercussions of 4-plus Millennia of many dangerously flawed beliefs, theories and doctrines, that can be seen for what they are, is overflowing with roaring gaps in it's logic and Wisdom.
An anarchistic, totally chaotic evolution of the Human Species, which needs Good Christian Crusaders to "save the heathens from themselves", be-the heathen Arabs or Aborigines or the Iraqis of today, is what the dumb-fuck Christian believe is their Mission. The Reality, the Truth if-you-like, is exactly the opposite.
Too many Cultures the Christians have plundered and overrun, were, pre-invasion, quite Balanced, Harmonious and Spiritual Cultures. Civilisations indeed! There predominated Profound Reverence for the Spiritual Forces of Nature, of Man (Humans) and of the Gods, and a Powerful, Whole-of-Community Will to Work with the Higher Powers, Gods, God.
..Then along came the missionaries..................
"AND HERE WE ARE?"
We've all been sucked-in by charismatic charlatans, yet even after the hardest of lessons, many more than will admit it, we keep "a quiet eye open" for that Hero who might Lift us beyond the misery we see all round.....
This is so typically western as a way of thinking..... looking OUT for INNER Peace!?
HARK! I'VE FOUND IT! "THE GREAT CATHOLIC OXYMORON!!!"
"Looking OUT for INNER Peace!?" With all the counter-Spiritual "fruits":
"DIRECT FROM ISRAEL! -Loose-mind-mania!"
Was it the Golden Calf they ate? Perhaps it had BSE? (Bovine Yonis or "MAD COW" disease?)
How sick are they?
Criminally, beyond the order of the worst war-criminals.
The thing most to be feared about the Judeo-Christian (unholy) alliance, is that, (like last night for myself) they will resort to anything in the vain (as in “vanity”) attempt to keep their crumbled religions afloat.
(EDIT: 6th August '04: I must say that that night events drove me to this little bloge-ssay, and since this e-ssay has been published, a week or less now, I've been hassled by the "straights", who seem to exude either the Christian spell or right-wing conservativeness. Wherever they have acquired their occult powers, through the Satanic Christian flocks, or some psychopathic town 'elder' is of no interest here, clearly they've been projecting occult onto my bwrain to piss-me-off.
What they hope to gain from that has innumerable possibilities, but one likely one is that I will "loose-it" and crown one of them with an iron bar. I'd go to jail or the psyche-hospital as a Demon-possessed maniac, to whit I could not argue, for it would be these same arseholes who're projecting into me to send me off-the-rails.
I wish, but I'm sorry, I see their plan, close to success as it was, and as of the last twenty years, I have not yet lost it and murdered anyone, and will endeavour to maintain that Pledge to myself into the future.
The whole of Jewish and Christian religion’s existence, all it’s war-crimes, and an immense (investment in a “theoretical?!” - FAAAARRRKKK!?!?!?!) reputation, is vested in and depends solely upon “A Messiah!”
That’s a lot of dependence, wealth and power for any individual to safely and Wisely handle.
What if, in Truth, the very notion of a Messiah, a ridgey-didge World Saviour, was wrong?!
(APAPLEXY*^$#&(*&^$^%$!!!!???) (Tremors under Rome!)
In religious idiots, being as they are, such a question sparks all sorts of spell-based, violent reactions from them. Because these "Messiannic" religions have gotten too big to possibly “manage” any such Truth, or thus to maintain ANY Spiritual Wisdom, bringing-forth such quite valid questions are rejected-point-blank.
If you observe such antics by Jews and Christians to avoid the Truth, you may well see a “puppet-master’s” spell at work, tugging and jerking fools all over the place, before they, Christians anyway, have a fit and start screaming “ONLY CHRISTIANS CAN GO TO HEAVEN!” and “JESUS IS THE WAY!?” etc.
Jews, I think are not in the same basket as "reborn" Christian.
So! Peter is in Nimbin to push me out, so I will be more accessible to the filthy and warped clasp of the religious anti-Christs - Jews and Christians, because they are paranoid about losing or of not having control enough (over the purported Messiah) to “manage” the situation of any Natural-thus-Truly-Arising Prophet. (A late addition, edit to this possibly puts "Peter" in quite another "basket", which I shall not identify now, and is dancing for two masters - the Micks, and Hmmmm?)
FOR THE CHURCHES KNOW, a Loose Prophet (or two?) - would bring the religions 1), to account, and 2), to their knees. She/He would bring down their dark empires - or at least “have a chat with ‘em,” about their errings………
Now hard as it is to do this blogthing on public library computers, an hour at a time ain't enough to make sure my "points" in these e-ssays are as clear and complete as I am seeing them in my head - y' un'erstand? So I maybe missing something in my case for the Non-Messiah.
But I think this suggests a contradiction - my posit that all Messianic religions are wrong, then talking about “loose Prophets” telling how to sort-out their mess, etc?
(I should know I s’pose, being the One these dumb-fuck religions reckon I am!?)
Maybe I am?! (Core-flummox-me?)
If I am, I am right in these analyses.
What a laugh I’d have, watching and listening to the clergy go freakin' NUTS with language to counter these postulations, and “prove” they are wrong.
If I am, I’m Right.
So, why are the Christian churches now ------ setting to screw-me-over?
Der….?
In December last year, I was finally told who the churches regarded as their, and of course Humanity’s deadliest enemy -
“HELL’S ANGELS MOTORCYCLE CLUB”!
Yar! Bewdiful!!!!
For some ten years I’d been kept in the dark about this, and involuntarily sent on “missions” to “DESTROY THE EVIL ONES!” by the church.
Now…………..,
I began riding a motorbike at 17 years of age, unlicensed, unregistered, NO laws, and a fast BSA 500cc single (B-50-SS unit construction ’71 model), in 1973.
I cut my teeth so-to-say with ex-Angels some 20 years-plus my age.
I fucking KNOW, you blind religious fools, that dudes like Hell's Angels ARE NOT as evil in their hearts as possibly the majority of the clergy. Most of the clergy wouldn't be aware of who is making their opinions for them. Ie., they're under hypnotic spells.
"Evil" is the very same as religious ignorance.
Since I was told about the Angels, in December last, I've seriously considered what my next step should be.
I'll tell you I've come to a dead-end in trying to properly "connect" with those I dared percieve as my "allies", after ten years of their, and my unknown enemies continuous lying and fuckheadedness toward me.
I guess, though am not sure, I should make note of all the fuckheads who wouldn't tell me about the Angels, who because of the Satanism of the heirarchy of Judaism and Christianity (themselves under ancient hypnotic spells) the general Jew or Christian is 'programmed' to come-on SHIT-SCARRED if their totally warped "puppett-masters" want it. So they'll mess themselves big-time if the sorcerer tells 'em these bikers are Satanic. Why? Because "they LOOK so evillllll?!!?!?"
"Making note", is saying thank-you to them, and is about as much as I can profer, these days, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED!
So, for the last ten years or so, in the eyes of the dumbfuck western religions, I have been "helped"?
Also, while this gross deception prevailed (as it had to, damn it!) for some six years minimum, a "lifeline" was still available to me, through some media addresses (I can't call them 'contacts' ) I had, and, also, after a period of about 3 to 5 years of the fucking church(es) IN ALL IT'S WISDOM (!?) binding ALL it's secondary private-school students and those from a church education to regard me as Satan incarnate, and thus I lost too much to mention - ALL Human associations, friendships, family and all my possessions - after 3 to 5 years the church had a "change of heart"?!
So for six years or so, they've been pushing me psychically to do the True Work they're all too fucked-over in their heads to do for themselves.
PLEASE MAXIE, save us from THEM! The EVIL ONES!!!
FAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!
Now, since hearing about my Brothers (a qualified use of the word "Brothers", having not been a rider for years, and having never actually joined any club, but used in the knowledge that we live and ride in the same Spirit of Freedom), the Angels, as I said, I considered MY options, but more importantly, the implications and ramifications of either one over the other choice.
I chose correctly.
Therefore, instead of the churches "searching their Souls" for where they fucked-up, they adopt the spell of stubborn reactionary and violent objection, which is exactly and Satanically what they threw at me last night.
The Anglican and Catholic "gangs" are low mothers no doubt about it, AND are perhaps the most deeply deceived and deluded religious mobs on Earth. They've been around in various disguises for 1700 years - AND STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT!!!!?
Fuck 'em.
Well, they got some things half-right, but these last 1700 years would test the Best of them.
Notice that such unrelenting decay and abject ignorance, was never such a problem in, for example, China, India and other "eastern" cultures, before the invaders and their evil "Missions" came?
"The more you deceive yourselves about ANYTHING,
.......the more you deceive yourselves about EVERYTHING!!!
(Quote me 1999 Victorian State election slogan)
Christian doctrine is riddled with flawed ideology, as well as with gross misinterpretations of Scripture. So it is obvious that such "Fine" dialogue, such delicate language containing anything of a Spiritual Truth (perhaps from some Wisdom gene) which elucidates Truth to lesser or unawakened ears, will be beyond them.
Added to this is my assertion that Christianity is in fact an occult sect of Judaism.
Stre-etchin' it a bit, a bloke could almost postulate that Christianity is in fact one which grew from quite deliberate intentions of ancient Israel, to counter-attack the invading Romans, and thus is militarist in intent. If there's any merit in such a wild postulation, this makes Christianity even less credible as a Genuine "G-O-D" centred religion.
The Holy Roman Empire, that grew from missionaries from Israel (?), is a prime example of a flawed ideology. And what is the REAL state of Life in Europe these days? Just ask all those who emigrate!
Good on yer Christians!?
Immediately I know many will react with argument for "ALL THE BENEFITS!" so-screamed of the likes of the long Roman Empire(s).
But let's be real? History tells us now that four thousand years (5, 6, or 7 thousand if you like) for one civilisation, perhaps even a daintily refined one like the poonse-plagued west, is nought, nothing, zilch, zero, in "Mature" terms, in "Enlightened" terms, when compared to an ancient-that-is-twenty-thousand year old Culture, or as Our Precious Aborigines SIXTY thousand years, perhaps 100 thousand and more.
Then there's the Garden of Eden??????? How long was that around before the Fall???
And what was It, that held it together for.....................e....o....n....s?
(Surprise me George Bush and agree?!)
Yet more!
"Religions" per se, are but the last, lowest remnant of any Genuinely Spiritual Culture. Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" makes clear reference to religions rise from the fall of Spirituality in the People. (Sorry I can't access it here-and-now to quote Him.)
That People find the need to make religion such an overt, prominant part of their and other people's lives, betrays the Subtle Nature of such "Stuff", for it is the most Personal Trip if-I-may, and is reduced in Quality if overtly displayed like the "western" mobs do. Yeshue said something about that too, aye?
To Understand this is to be a Taoist.
For, I believe that Tao, as-it-were, was not openly worshipped in the days before the world became ingulfed in the 20th Century "Industrial Wars Period", and the Communists clamped-down on "superstitous" religious practices. It was quietly Revered in all the People did, and was prayed to, offered Blessing to, in the "Altar-Room" in People's own homes. Temples existed, but were not I think visited every Sunday or such, en masse. More they were Quiet Places for Peaceful Contemplation. This Order I example, of China, reflects, assuming it is accurate, the Wisdom of China as a Nation, and ancient Nation, but perhaps more, an ancient Culture.
However, let's be BALANCED also, for I know China has been through many of it's own stormy periods too, and if I were anyone else I'd be snowed with those "email blocking thinees" telling me about the millions who died in the dark times in the mystic east, etc. Fair enough.
Whatever you believe, and maybe be able to prove, I put it that the Chinese Mind is in a far better condition than the western mind, or, again, was, before the British dealt their way in. And had been for MUCH longer, than the Judeo-Christian, western cult.
Clearly there is something Basic, Fundamental about such very-much older Cultures than the west is, and it seems to me that the sustainability of these "eastern" Cultures, is due to their never having lost the "Silence of God" within, or the ability and recognition of the importance of the Still Mind, to All Life.
Birds do It, Dogs do It, koalas do It, Lions, Eagles, Polar Bears do It, so why don't WE do It, (yeah..... "and fall in love....". Funnily enough, the Stillness aforementioned, is the same.)
Western religions have wandered a torturous and twisted road - from Eden, but Judaism and Christianity fell right-of-the-Spiritual-cliff long before Yeshua ben Joseph flew-in. And 2000 years longer-ago than the use of the word, "religion" came into use when refering to Cults, Orders etc.
[See my e-ssay "Free the Churches! FREE THE PEOPLE!" at my weblog site:
Having invested huge amounts of time, thought, money and action, not to mention the verbose self-flagulating rhetoric of supposedly "High Thinking" People, People who are known to most as "really missing the mark!", (though personally, I must say.............., I've had lovely conversations with them usually, uptil 1996), invested thus, managing my "messiah spell" if-you-like, the broadest Christian church is, (and now-a-days, Judaism and Islam) since my recent "renunciation" as-it-is, upset!?
("I Abdicate!" I had on back of my van through Autumn of 2004.)
This, totally aside form my five year long rebuttle of the very notion of a "Messiah", really gives them something to Struggle with..............

Lemons ain't no lemon!
This is an email I just sent to ABC Radio National's "Life Matters" after their program about lemon 'products' in the typical sense of the word.
Hey!
The use of the fruit name "lemon" I suggest, to denote a failed or imperfect product or such, may well be a Lemon, if not a fraud on society?
Negative beliefs are reinforced in one's mind each time we hear
"Lemon tree very pretty,
and the lemons are so sweet,
but the fruit of the lemon,
is not good enough to eat!"
What is the actual "lemon's" history in relation to medicine???
Lemons are known by all to be Good medicine for many maladies, yes?
Nature's 'weapon' against the rising force of religious alchemists- today's pharmaceutical corporations.
Growin'-up in Melbourne's eastern "burbles" in the 1950 and '60s, many-maybe-most settled and recent families had a lemon tree in the yard, and it was the first thing the Mum's went for, for numerous things - for colds and flu, bleaching, antiseptic, washing, cooking, odour-eating, contraceptive (not that I knew about that then), anti-HIV virus (well, not back THEN) and some skin conditions, I believe.
Lemon is a must in an anti-flu or anti-congestive drink, and on and on.
So, Ms Jules McCrossin, before you go slanging the Good Fruit with bad Christian beliefs, CHECK YOUR FACTS, about the humble old Lemon and why failures are so called!
I wouldn't put it past the bastards of Christian or Judaic alchemy-cum-science-and-medicine of whatever era the denigration began, to do what the pharma's have done over the last fifty years to Cannabis, which is to demonise whichever natural product or original medicine may interfere with their own greedy-cum-psychopathic wealth-and-power trip.
Lemon may well be put in the same "demonised" basket as the Good Herb, Marijuana, and may also therefore, in these "Enlightened Days" (bet they said that in the Dark Ages of Jeff Kennett?!), demand restitution by YOU! into the typical bathroom medicine chest etc., of yer Bewdifool Ossies.
May the Perfect Medicine, be Your Inspiration!
PS: On another note: "When did the "slaughter gene" get into the Celtic Man's DNA?" Do you even want to go there???
Ride-on!

More Articles!
Hey!
I've been hassling 'blogspot' about having an index of ALL my e-ssays on the "front-page" as-it-were. Or, why aren't they listed?
They sent a reply of no sense, not that I want to denigrate the site.
Apart from this little glitch, it's a good blogpage.
But as you are visiting maxamovie.blogspot, it's worth knowing that there's some ten or eleven other e-ssays of mine, that is, by Max No Differencein "ARCHIVES", located down the R/H side of the 1st page, besides those first ten in the 1st page's index.
HOWEVER, the unlisted e-ssays are NOT listed even in the ARCHIVES index.
So to view them, you have to SCROLL down once at the ARCHIVES page.
Cheers, and stay linked for more TERRIFYING Articles............

I'm not sure I see the problems we have with immigration in the right light or not.
There is presently a debate being had, on levels of qualification.
This seems to infer a slightly elitist attitude against the lower class, lesser qualified members of the Human Race.
In 1988 I rode up the centre of this broad Australian land. Quite a feat on a BMX bike. Fortunately I went on a Yamaha 650. All the while, whilst travelling through, I was struck continually with the feeling that I was "in", as in a part of, a creation of Eternal Beauty.
After a wee while, I began to see it as the planet's most precious, most valuable resource. Land!
Go-the-agents!
Since that short runaway, I"ve had a chance to be involved with the opposite of that central Australian sparseness, through volunteer work at the Salvation Army St Kilda Crisis-Centre, Melbourne, assisting the homeless, addicted, and destitute through their crises.
Now, dare I attempt to combine these two extreme opposites, to forge them together in an attempt to solve the problems that all crisis centres are, on a dramatically increasing scale, struggling to address?
Considering the criticism I would be bound to face, I think I should at least approach with caution.
Sooner or later, our Nation is going to have to decide what place it has in the global problem of aiding the world's refugees.
It seems to me that a place like the United Kingdom is a stupid place to send any number of refugees, if only because of it's high density of population, let alone it's economic woes.
In fact, it seems to me, that most first world nations are about as crowded as they really need to be.
But not Australia.
I have listened to the various arguments and objections on immigration, and have a feeling that those who oppose any increase in migrant numbers to Australia, are basing their "beliefs" (for that is all they are) on fallacious data.
Nevertheless, there seems to be an overcomplicating of things in regard to "What to do?" with any serious amount of migrant/refugees.
Looking at where they have emigrated or escaped from, one sees that in-the-main, they were accustomed to a very low income. Certainly too many, if not all, were far, far below the average world poverty line, and should be given every equitable opportunity to rise above a life, previous to seeking refuge, of all-round uncertainty and squaller.
How rational is it that these people, should they gain entry into Australia, be dumped straight in or around our fairly fragile major cities, especially when these cities are overloaded with our own refugees? You know? The ones fallen below the socially acceptable minimum income, or are weighed heavily by a traumatic childhood, broken family, tragic incident, genetic malady, karma or just rotten luck, who already every day and night, overload every welfare agency in the land.
In light of all these sad facts, I put the question;
"How many of the Boat-People or other (and perhaps more genuine) international refugees would be against being given the chance to relocate with their families in some of Australia's more remote, and so less decadent terrain?"
How many of them would reject the idea of using their manual labour, in modern and safe conditions, to construct a rail-web to supply these outer-reaches of un-used land?
How many of them would baulk at the prospect of building a township, creating an agricultural oasis, adapting gradually to their new climate of a better life?
Indeed, perhaps the question should first be put to all Australians, be they white, yellow, brown or black, of "How many of the destitute youth, Australian youth of our cities and the bush, might consider partaking in such a diverse, probably more disciplined but definitely more wholesome way of life?"
I've no doubt many middle-aged and even elderly Australians, Aborigines and migrant-refugees might jump at the opportunity in such a constructive, accommodating and Humane series of projects.
What if our ever generous government were to offer these people five years of free accommodation, with meals for all, whilst they laboured to construct the infrastructure for the fourth quarter of this vast Terra Australis?
How many Australians would be interested in providing language, agricultural, mechanical, thrift and financial/business instruction, for the same full board for themselves and their families, for as long as they might choose above three months?
How much would it cost to feed the refugees? More than than their nation's aristocracy spent on them, that's for sure!
Would I get as many purported "correctly informed and evidentially justified objections" as there are lives at stake?
In Australia, "Guaranteed!"
How many of these objectors would be already living in concordance, in accord with the way the Human Race should be living?
What does the word "future" mean to those smug, self-righteous supporters of a white-Australia policy?
How much a day do they need to "live"? And how much dirt?
I've not met a person, or heard a politician, clergyman or economist who knows what the future has in store for Human Beings. Probably because they're so factionalised around their (not unimportant but) less significant portfolios, to focus on the Big Picture of World Peace.
What do the claimants in the Land Rights debate, the Australian Aborigines, have to say on such an idea?
Oh! And what do those chardonnay socialists, chardonnay environmentalists, and purported Humanitarians have to say?
"Hello? Oh, they've all disappeared?!"

How much would it cost to feed the refugees? More than than their nation's aristocracy spent on them, that's for sure!
Would I get as many purported "correctly informed and evidentially justified objections" as there are lives at stake?
In Australia, "Guaranteed!"
How many of these objectors would be already living in concordance, in accord with the way the Human Race should be living?
What does the word "future" mean to those smug, self-righteous supporters of a white-Australia policy?
How much a day do they need to "live"? And how much dirt?
I've not met a person, or heard a politician, clergyman or economist who knows what the future has in store for Human Beings. Probably because they're so factionalised around their (not unimportant but) less significant portfolios, to focus on the Big Picture of World Peace.
What do the claimants in the Land Rights debate, the Australian Aborigines, have to say on such an idea?
Oh! And what do those chardonnay socialists, chardonnay environmentalists, and purported Humanitarians have to say?
"Hello? Oh, they've all disappeared?!"
Notes on Metaphysics
I wrote this sitting on a brick, next to "Platypus Rock" at Granny's Farm Backpackers, Nimbin N.S.W. Australia, in about March of 1998.
The birds, foals, children and the wind played just as described.
The Lord Mayor of Gaia sat, and looked. He watched the birds play and the foals frolic. He was the play and the frolic, and He was the bird and the foal.
Children walked passed him and seemed not to notice him, but everywhere, saw him.
Observers were many in these lands. Bunjalung, Tibetan, Canadian, African and other Beings.
Most enjoyed the birds, foals and children, some just the enjoyment.
The Lord Mayor of Gaia enjoyed.
He turned his head, for Trouble spoke to him.
"Is this so?" He asked. No-one other than He, did he ask.
And the Wind skittled across the field and swirled in the trees behind his stool.
"I must be still" he said and closed his eyes.
The Wind becalmed.
Trouble spoke again. The Lord Mayor fell deeper into Himself.
Trouble fell quiet.
The Crickets ceased chirping. The Noisy-Miners were not.
The Lord Mayor of Gaia Praised the Peace.
The Lord Mayor of Gaia is the Fulfillment of Man's Growth on Earth. He is the gatherer and dispenser of Human Being.
Since the Silver Age, nations tried to restore the Qualities of the Superman of the Golden Age with breeding, nurturing and conditioning of every kind exhausted on one King, Queen or another elected or selected child.
Every effort failed.
Bandit, Warrior, Governor, President, Monarch, Mogul and Priest had all sought such a Perfection in themselves, which would be to engender the Highest of Virtues in their people.
Some came close, but all were premature. Some achieved Heaven in their own Way, radiating Love to many around them.
But around their borders the weaker tribes lay in envious wait.
So too has been the Lord Mayor of Gaia laying, sitting, working, in wait.
Some, Warriors and Kings, saw the traps, saw the Gate through which Heaven's Prince must pass, and the path one must take. Abstaining from earthly desires and riches, Meditating on "no thing", they saw "Who" they were, and enjoyed that Self. But alas, that Essence they enjoyed alone.
Throughout, their Tribes, Nations or Kingdoms they Happily shared their Sweet-cake, but, because of the epoch, era, aeon, they could not share the icing.
Those Graced Masters ran and swam and flew in that Timeless Eternal moment and gave of It what they could to their Families and Nations.
From these efforts came mendicants and monks, Gurus and Hermits. Some conquering the world, some simply renouncing the world, some Enlightening it.
All saw the path to Peace as a series of stepping stones. Some knew themselves as a stone, some the foot which stepped, some the action of stepping.
They moved, or sat, as was the calling.
They saw the paradox, they saw the trichotomy. Move, sit, or do neither.
They were the Lord Mayor of Gaia, albe-they eons before His Time.
And He was they, as He was all they knew.
He, They, through experience Knew the beginning of the Road to Peace on Earth was not on Earth. He, They, knew that even while earth-bound, that is, bound to earthly desires and consciousness, on desiring Heaven on Earth, the road to It began in Heaven. So say the Wise, so said the Masters, so speaks the Silent Soul.
"We may be a thousand years away from our Self," says the Lord Mayor of Gaia. "No more, less if we want."
"This Self is the Goal, and is here if we want. Why we want it not, is Earthly. Why we want it, is Heavenly. To not want it is to play the prisoner. To want it, is the jailhouse key. You, are the jailer, the jail and the prisoner, as your desires dictate and control the limits of your consciousness.
You are with the Lord Mayor of Gaia when all conscious limits are dissolved."
The Lord Mayor of Gaia fell deeper into Himself.
And the rains came, and the seasons were restored. Heaven dawned in all Souls on feeling the change, as it spread across the land.
Bigger than any marketed momentum, yet through the machinery and machinations of it the Soul of Heaven spread upon the energy it gained from it's goal, into all hearts.
Armies Meditated, and Buddhists played rugby.

President Mugabe of Zimbabwe & 21C Economics
25th August 2001
I write about the actions of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, and the reactions from our corrupted plutocracy to his determination to exact some Land and Economic Justice in his country.
Last week two Liberal backbenchers opposed allowing Mugabe into Australia to attend CHOGM in Brisbane, suggesting he's a criminal for doing, more peacefully and at less cost to Human Life, what the original white settlers did to the indigenous Zimbabwians.
The whole world suffers under a cloud of ignorance about how best to distribute Land so all people's can live comfortably, happily and prosperously. Such Human Justice is a Natural thing. It's only manmade injustice preventing it.
The conservatives of almost every country are regularly exposing themselves these days, as the most unjust of politicians. They are, for that, the most active propagators of the most incorrect and dangerous, warmongering policies of Land Distribution the world has seen.
Christian white supremacist's of Washington, Westminster and Europe's plutocracy are under ever-increasing threat of exposure and dispossession of their ill-gotten gains. But the stranglehold they have on us is immense and very hard to release from our economic neck.
To speak out for land reforms is to be labelled a tyrant by those tyrants with the money and the media, which should trigger people's scepticism when they hear utter fools like the liberal backbenchers uttering such garbage.
Mugabe may be a tyrant. He may be unstable of mind. But he is doing the very thing which must be done worldwide if Humanity is to progress beyond this current period of social, economic and Spiritual turmoil. Land Reform for Human Justice.
If Mugabe is a tyrant, it is I suggest, because he knows very well, he must be "one mean Mother" while he faces the most tyrannical sections of the plutocracy, namely the British government and it's aristocrats, and all their filthy-rich global bedfellows, who have not the courage to address this age-old injustice of inequitable Land Distribution. It is to be expected he will be discredited by them, their media and moronic zombies in the conservative political parties around the world.
It is wholly wrong and untenable that anyone should denounce him or his actions. Especially when it is clear that the ancestors of those who denounce, were perpetrators of thieving the Land from it's rightful "owners" in the first place, when they invaded and plundered Africa as colonists.
But why stop with Africa? There is not one continent on Earth where these filthy cultural rapists from England, America and Europe haven't forced their way in and committed the worst crimes against Humanity. Principally the crime of taking people's Land from them.
The results we are still failing to cope with today, as manifest in denial of the most basic "Inalienable Human Rights" of secure shelter for billions of people, and the almost endless array of social, economic, psychological and Spiritual problems which arise directly from inequitable Land distribution.
Just and Equitable Land Distribution is the keystone for any serious social, political and even religious movement, which is why President Robert Mugabe must be allowed into Australia whenever he likes. Particularly to the CHOGM Conference.
For it is quite likely he has far more intelligent and honest comments to make than any of the other "white" plutocrats attending the conference, which is precisely why they and their conservative backbenchers want to silence him.
These two Liberal clowns condemn themselves to further political isolation by exposing their ignorance with their wholly divisive self-interested statements.
For at last it's known by the majority that the "Liberal" Party cares not about people taking any true steps toward "Liberation" of their Human Spirit.
Rather, in their white supremacist materialism they continue to inflict their upsidedown religious beliefs on all people, the only possible result being the incarceration of our Holy Spirit in their Mammonic prison, not at all It's "Liberation".
Were the Liberal Party of Australia not in it's deathrows, which is why they are kicking so much, I would suggest someone take them to court for misleading people with the Party's name.
It is the responsibility of all Australians, indeed, it's a global issue now, to stay Eternally Vigilant against such evil arising again.
Humanity has a future, only if it addresses head-on, the international crime of inequitable Land Distribution.
To that, President Robert Mugabe should be seen as a Champion of the Cause of Economic Justice, and should be made more than welcome when he arrives in Australia.
People should be informed of when he's due so we can cheer him off his aeroplane, and let him know there are plenty of people in this unjust country who know the truth and who applaud his stance against western plutocratic tyranny.

de-TENSION CENTRES
There is a scandal happening as we read, and listen, in the Migrant and Refugee detention centre's issue.
It is well-known that Australia is well behind in Humanitarian treatment of refugees, be they political, economic, religious or racial, &c., and the arguments for private prisons are to my mind highly questionable, if not blatantly dubious?
Very diplomatic of me.
It's interesting to compare the refugee detention centre phenomenon with the high detention rate of Australian Aborigines in our prisons- "very white Australian of us!
And markedly similar to rates of black Americans incarcerated in US prisons.
Indeed this is a blatant white supremacist phenomenon, which begs us to ask "How far to the fascist right are our Liberal and perhaps Labor State governments?" If Labor Australia is following the Tony Blair model, we best be wary!
It's well known many far-right, white supremacist Afrikaners migrated from South Africa to Western Australia since the more equitable democracy was heralded in South Africa, with Nelson Mandela's elevation to President. I've no doubt the Northern Territory has it's share also.
These detention centres are under the auspice of the Federal Liberal Government, who recently formed what I dare to call "a war cabinet" with new portfolios given to Ananda Vanstone (Welfare), Tony Abbott (Industrial Relations) and Peter Reith (still in "floral arrangements"? No, he's been given the Defence portfolio!). All three have "harsh" character traits, even ruthless. Is this an election ploy? Of course, to a degree. However it may be seen to be an opportunity to quietly push policy further to the racist-(nay-fascist) right.
Something I maintain, is the Liberal's constant underlying agenda. With the likes of Pauline Hanson and her splinter-kindt, Howard looks quite moderate to the electorate, so he (and his media allies) keep the focus on her redneck clan's travails. Then there's the electoral rorts, further distraction from the big stuff.
Big stuff, it seems I need to say, which we, a small, dedicated..... whatever, through sending the fresh economic wave of Knowledge across the media of internet and Community film and TV etc., might very well happily improve!
So where are the questions about how much the oil, minerals, tobacco, pharmaceutical, weapons, supermarket(!) and prison corporations sponsor the main political parties? These are the issues, tied directly to our national attitudes to; immigrants who we actually need more of, non-whites (enough said), and the dysfunctional thinking and behaviour of all who support such corporations, in share holdings, employment, product consumption and political acceptance of the corruption endemic to this current form of Capitalism. By pinpointing the source of far-right political agenda, we can aim to have people withdraw their support on, in these cases mainly racist, political and ethical grounds, by protest.
These are the issues. Nevertheless...........
All the seemy sides of the Human lust for power and riches seem to be incorporated in the likes of "Wackenhut" prisons corporation of the USA, and operating here, "Australian Correctional Management" (ACM), who have their ethic-less profit motive driving the industry of incarceration of the world's most vulnerable people's, by way of boatie's and refugee detention centres in Woomera and Port Headland etc. I bet the management of ACM hide their smiles each time another "people smuggling" boat arrives at Ashmore Reef or along the north west Australian coastline.
The analytical CT (Conspiracy Theorist) would go perhaps so far as to suggest private prison's operators preferring, manipulating society to be crime-ridden to keep their prisons in business? If such things are possible, it is obtuse logic at best, and at worst totally psychotic? But believe me, it is possible down that end of town, for in their free market, they can legislate into law (?) such bizarre yet immensely profitable operations.
The high rate of drug offenders in prison here and the USA, many if not all serving totally immoral therefore unjust sentences, smacks to this old CFF (?) of a sinister scenario of connections between the two; drug lawyers and private prisons. Or should that just be lawyers and private prisons.
And what about the judiciary?
We know morally corrupt judges are out there in judicial Disneyland, supporting the most heinous crimes against Humanity. We also know there are many doing their level best to rid that potentially fine institution of Law of it's deadly disease. Knowing the skill of lawyers to evade, avoid, erase, distort and destroy the Truth, for these are the essential skills of their trade today, the many incorruptible lawyers and judges still hanging in there, really need all the support the public can give them, for their's is a Mighty task. And that support is to back the government that introduces democratic socialist judicial and legal reform policies, as we've seen in Victoria and across the ex-Commonwealth (including Britain) of recent years.
Every big-money event or project that goes wrong now-days, is before you can blink infested with lawyers. We hear of $1000s..., $10s of 1000's a day to each.
There is no question, a profitable connection between chaos and the lawyer exists today, especially in the USA. Unfortunately, in that Land of the Exploded Ego and here in it's would-be clone, Australia, it's a disease inherent in our severely unjust economic system, which relies enormously on a profession of facts-twisting to fiction, and lie-twisting to perceived truth.
But who is the disease doing most harm to? When the injustice becomes so widespread, and effects the greater majority, encapsulating all the personal pains into the hands of the private corporations running the illness industry, the Community of course is effected, which through federal, state and local government tries to absorb the cost, cannot, and so breaks down into street wars and civil disintegration! A la England, Europe, Middle-East, United States. La-dee-dah-dee-plop!
Am I in Nimbin or Nimby (Not In My Back Yard) when I extrapolate the response to my projections of where our own society is headed, while it refuses to address the BIG issues?
So who should we be watching, when civil or international disputes erupt? (See the following articles on East Timor)
It brings up the issue of punishment, corporal and capital. In places with no welfare network, a cell, a few meals a day, and a tough society, but a society, might look and might be pretty good. Some people really are down that far in their luck, at that heart-breaking level, and it's a tragedy!
While Humanity was still scratching around fighting and dying to survive, or fighting and dying to improve the chances of the clan's survival, unable to pinpoint and put the lid on the cause of their problems, corporal and capital punishment, were the best that could be expected.
Now, further advanced than ever in understanding the Human Psyche, we have no substantial evidence supporting the need for even the existence of our universities of crime; the prisons, let alone the parasitic private prison industry which sponsors ludicrous laws to keep prisons full and profitable.
But since when has profit been compatible with Ethics?

"Boat People" and AUSTRALIA in the 21st CENTURY
14/4/99.
Within weeks of this letter (sent to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) national daily talkback radio show Host, Mr Sandy McCutcheon), a larger than ever, steady stream of refugee boats began to assail our shores.
Hi Sandy! Another note for your team to ponder. I hope it makes sense.
About the boat people landings of the last month, the refugee "crises" across the globe, and the future of national borders.
Australia is in a unique position in these matters, simply because it has the most unoccupied, arable land, with the lowest density of population. Also pertinent, is it's "island" geography.
I'm drawn, upon pondering these issues, to conclude that the "boat people" 'problem' is not going to go away in the 21" century. Indeed, with the facts of land mass and low population well known, I suggest the onslaught of refugee boats will significantly increase.
As wars inevitably erupt across the planet, from Kosovo, through the Middle East, Pakistan-v-India, Burma, Thailand, up through the far east to Japan and Korea, with China unavoidably participating, (all principally, economically caused) we at the bottom end of the land chain, will be a natural destination for the innumerable numbers of peace seeking, yet powerless folk of those regions.
To most of these desperate people, they will simply have no choice but to ''take their chances" on being allowed to stay here.
If I may, allow me to predict that by the middle of the next century, national borders will exist only "on paper" in the offices of the evermore militaristic governments. In fact I go so far as to suggest that things will be rather more different than that, where governments as we knew them will basically be of two possible types. 1) many, many small and autonomous, tribal, peaceful and popular governments, or 2) one, big, utter mess.
Not only is "national borders existing only on paper" relevant to global corporations, but the increasing spread of Human Injustice, will cause quite possibly billions of people to flee there homes and lands, disregarding borders altogether.
Unless we, our governments, and our disintegrating religious bodies, wake-up to themselves, bight the bullet, and protest for changes to world economic policy, there will result, apart from uncountable international and civil wars, a permanent, huge body of nomadic, impoverished refugees wandering, staggering and running across the globe.
Ethnic and religious persecution and cleansing will increase.
Many Australians, being typically "Australian " (my own pejorative analysis on "being Australian" ie., racist, narrow, unwise and unintelligent) may, should they be given to entertain this prediction, sit back with smug ignorance and say things like "Ah! They'll never get across the water, Mayte! Ha! Ha! 'Ave another beeeeer!"
We shouldn't bother with such attitudes, unless they are preventing the government from introducing Humane Justice policies which concord with the Wisdoms of Yeshua ben Joseph (Jesus Christ).
But, the reality is, it is precisely such attitudes which do negatively effect all positive political and economic advances, at the ballot.
By around 2020 AD, Australia will not be able to ignore what (I believe) will be happening elsewhere to the greater mass of Humanity.
While many refugee-nomads may be thwarted because of "the water" from getting to Australia, the global economic depression will still be in effect twenty years after Wall Street's bubble finally bursts (if, it does, in the early-mid 2000s), and Australia will not escape. With that will be global chaos, unless, Australia steps to the fore of international policy making on political, economic, land and religious reforms, as never yet seen.
Humanity has two choices.
We can ignore the big picture and/or take the Wisdoms offered relating to the big picture solutions and pervert them for personal political opportunity, leading Humanity no where Good.
Or
We can unload a few treasonably wrong beliefs, theories and opinions we all have about what we are actually doing here on Earth, so the (Ring of...?) Truth may be heard (from within).
I also suggest that Australia will sooner than later, just have to open it's borders to whoever, because we will not be able to do otherwise. Neither would it be Humane to do otherwise.
Therefore intelligent people in positions of influence would do well to begin working on the likes of the "Visionary" points I put to you some weeks ago, about "lots and lots of lovely little cities or lots and lots of lovely large villages sprinkled across the Land...." etc etc.
Such policies will ease the global burden I predict in the next fifty years, and begin the necessary changes to Good Governance worldwide, so putting off the "Armageddon" (outta here!) for a long enough period for people to learn the immense value of Self-Knowledge, and the adage........................,
''World Peace, comes first....., from Within.....''

Within weeks of this letter (sent to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) national daily talkback radio show Host, Mr Sandy McCutcheon), a larger than ever, steady stream of refugee boats began to assail our shores.
Hi Sandy! Another note for your team to ponder. I hope it makes sense.
About the boat people landings of the last month, the refugee "crises" across the globe, and the future of national borders.
Australia is in a unique position in these matters, simply because it has the most unoccupied, arable land, with the lowest density of population. Also pertinent, is it's "island" geography.
I'm drawn, upon pondering these issues, to conclude that the "boat people" 'problem' is not going to go away in the 21" century. Indeed, with the facts of land mass and low population well known, I suggest the onslaught of refugee boats will significantly increase.
As wars inevitably erupt across the planet, from Kosovo, through the Middle East, Pakistan-v-India, Burma, Thailand, up through the far east to Japan and Korea, with China unavoidably participating, (all principally, economically caused) we at the bottom end of the land chain, will be a natural destination for the innumerable numbers of peace seeking, yet powerless folk of those regions.
To most of these desperate people, they will simply have no choice but to ''take their chances" on being allowed to stay here.
If I may, allow me to predict that by the middle of the next century, national borders will exist only "on paper" in the offices of the evermore militaristic governments. In fact I go so far as to suggest that things will be rather more different than that, where governments as we knew them will basically be of two possible types. 1) many, many small and autonomous, tribal, peaceful and popular governments, or 2) one, big, utter mess.
Not only is "national borders existing only on paper" relevant to global corporations, but the increasing spread of Human Injustice, will cause quite possibly billions of people to flee there homes and lands, disregarding borders altogether.
Unless we, our governments, and our disintegrating religious bodies, wake-up to themselves, bight the bullet, and protest for changes to world economic policy, there will result, apart from uncountable international and civil wars, a permanent, huge body of nomadic, impoverished refugees wandering, staggering and running across the globe.
Ethnic and religious persecution and cleansing will increase.

!CRAZY!
David listened to Colleen rant about her frustrations for ten minutes.
Then he stood, walked toward her and looked her in the eye.
She stopped, mesmerised, and held eye contact, but without his changing the slightest curl of lip or raise of eyebrow, merely by his thinking a thought of jocular disdain, she twitched her head, looked away, and fell into a silence of introspection, as if for the first time she had actually heard herself carrying on.
Immediately they moved. David calmly turned to the kitchenette sink. Colleen, as if in shock, walked into the lounge, where she sat pensively on the two-seater sofa, stunned into reconsidering everything she had just been castigating David on, about his earlier commentary on Spirit, on the powers of the mind, about the strength which comes to one who aligns their whole being with the “Greater Whole Reality”.
He lifted a glass from the “washed” side of the sink, and turned to pour himself some water.
Without looking at her, he knew she had raised her head to watch him, and knew she was now submissive.
“We are not One” he said. “While you are liberated from the traditional role of woman-the-servant, you have become fixed in the celebration, and lose your Self in egoism.”
Colleen shifted in uneasiness.
“Of course this goes against your controlling Spirit, but Knowledge on these matters can only be heard by those who have dedicated themselves to wanting to hear.”
“What is truth David?” Colleen said after a few moments silence, remembering an earlier conversation, which also left her feeling a little vacuous.
“I can’t tell you” he said, emphasising the word ‘tell’. “All I can do, all anyone can do is make you aware of what is not Truth, and make you aware of the deception of people’s words,” he paused, “..... and of your own ability to observe the processes of mind which feed on and perpetuate ever greater delusion...... then finally..... hopefully...... I can guide you to trustworthy literature and teachers.”
He moved into the lounge room and sat at his desk, swinging his office chair around to look at her.
“Even then” he continued, “everything I say is useless unless you want to know, and you must want to know from the depths of your Heart”.
“Do I want to know?” Colleen said, half asking herself, her head bowed and resting in her hands, with elbows on her knees.
“One half of you does, but the false ego, the one which grows from untruths, would have you believe in anything but a Higher Spirit, and will fight tooth and nail to convince you that Truth is the illusion.”
“That’s why, if you’re serious, you must take that hardest step of all and reject your opinions..... reject, or better, let go of all you’ve come to believe about such matters.”
“Oh-God!! Colleen retorted in exasperation and laughter. “What are you asking? How on Earth can I - can anybody do that??”
As she threw herself back on the sofa, ‘til looking up at the ceiling, in a restrained, guttural tone she cried “ARGH!!!? You’re sending me crazy with your weird statements!!”
Immediately David responded to prevent what she’d just said from taking hold in her mind.
“Truth won’t send you crazy! It’s the untruth, the devil if-you-like, which sends us over sanity’s edge, into craziness.”
They said nothing for a while. Colleen eventually said in a gentle voice, “the devil hates Truth!” then, after a further pause, “How do I let go? God! Isn’t it crazy?!... I don’t even know how to let go!!”
“Maybe you can’t.” David said. “It isn’t easy! Maybe life is too good for you to want to ask such esoteric questions of yourself.
For some, these ethereal equations are logical, while others find them positively repulsive. The “Vedic” Teachings say this is due to our different Spiritual development through many lives, a positive or negative legacy from our own Karma and Sanskara from past lives. The analyst perceives it as psychological nurturing in the family and early social environment. Both are quite feasible to my mind, but those who believe in the genetic theory, are, well, some way short of any real understanding. It’s such a shame that “qualifications” are yet only literal and not Spiritual. But that’ll come.
But besides, rarely in Kali Yuga are people raised to see beyond the temptation of the “Great Delusion”.
Colleen was uneasy. Her mind was wavering between chaos and calm. She knew enough about herself to observe that somewhere inside, she wanted to agree with what David was saying, but whenever that feeling showed signs of warming her Heart, her rebellious emotional self launched forth a torrent of thought and question - thought and question - question?-question??-question??? -
Rebellion!!
This inner duel was ripping at her Soul, giving her no pleasure, confusing her, causing her to react with more challenges to David’s powerful presence.
Again she stood up and began to verbalise all kinds of shallow question and statement about the “evolution” and “animal” theories, none of which David sought to answer.
After a minute of babble, she exhaled with a deep sigh. She was unable to keep it up against the calmness she found herself falling more and more for each time she listened to him.
Her facial expressions had changed several times in the last half-hour, from aloof to idiotic, from enraged to submissive, from demonic to angelic, but her mind was even more varied in it’s fill.
At last without speaking she turned and walked into David’s bedroom. As if in an hypnotic trance she removed her blouse, shoes and socks and climbed into his bed.
David came in, saw she was withdrawing, so changed his shoes and told her he was off to work.
Colleen anxiously raised her head from the pillow.
“Do you want me to go now?” she asked.
He responded by saying “You can stay here as long as you need to. You know I trust you”.
-=oOo=-
Colleen slept until ten o’clock that night, when awoken by a loud car on the road. It took her a little while to orientate herself with David’s bedroom in the darkness. When she remembered, she calmed down and lay there for ten or fifteen minutes, listening to the ambient neighbourhood noises.
She began to think. About David, and his “aura”. She had trouble with her thoughts. “He’s almost too calm, too honest.... he can’t be for real!?”
And by the standards she was used to, having lived with Trevor on and off for eight years, and having mixed with heroin users of the night-club scene for almost as long, she found David to be quite alien....., yet so-o attractive in more ways than just his looks, which is why she couldn’t stop herself from calling on him.
But there was something else...... his calm mystique......?
She got up, dressed and made herself a coffee and a sandwich.
After reading some of David’s poems and short stories, and browsing through the bookshelf, she wrote a short note and left.
Trevor arrived home as usual, at five-thirty in the morning after work as a stripper in a night-club.
After they’d eaten the burgers he’d brought home, and were sitting back smoking marijuana, she worked the conversation round to the subject of Spirituality, something they had tried to discuss over the years, a subject which always ended in ridicule and derogatory jokes against Christians and Jews and Moslems.
Cleverly, she inspired Trevor to actually bring up David’s name, and so was able to talk about what David had said, though in a way as to not divulge her activities of the night before.
Trevor was calm but mocking for a short while, then suddenly changed tack and launched into a rave.
He jumped up from the couch and began gesticulating wildly with his arms, throwing his head up and down as he ranted and pranced around the room, just to doubly ensure he had her full attention.
For a full five minutes he shouted blasphemous accusations against all forms of belief in God, deriding all religions as the cause of all wars etc. David was slandered as a naive gutless idiot with brain damage etc, and sworn at as being satan himself, who only wants to make everyone as miserable as he is....... etc.
“More people’ve died..... in the name of God!!..... Ha!!.... than anything else. Besides!!.... everyone knows Davids a total nutcase. Naah! Piss ‘im off! Forget ‘im. All he’ll do is try to make you poor and a slave to some bullshit guru..... ha! like he thinks he is!!
Colleen remained silent when she remembered that this is exactly what Trevor had done to her over the years they’d been together. She looked up at him and felt her blood run cold.
“Come-on, let’s go and score!” Trevor said, changing the subject while he still held the limelight. “I ran into Felix tonight, an’ ‘e reckons ‘e’s got some wicked hammer, like top shelf shit. Can’t wait to try some. Says he’ll lay a taste on us for nix, an’ if we like it ‘e’ll do us a spesh deal.”
Colleen fell silent. In her mind she was remembering David’s words about Happiness-big-H and the false happiness of another bottle of grog, another whack of hammer, or another barrage of meaningless words and loud noise to stupefy the insatiable, out-of-control mind.
While she was sitting in reflection, Trevor had showered and was back in the lounge room in another leather outfit, ready to score.
“Come-on!” Trevor gestured.
She returned from her thoughts, and looked up at him. He sensed her reluctance and quickly turned on the charm, walking over and smoothly falling onto the couch beside her.
“Loo-ok. Everyone knows that that’s just some shit dreamt up by some naive goodie-goodies who can’t handle the scene they’re in, so they start imagining all sorts of cosmic crap to try and escape the truth. We’re just animals, life’s all just one big accident, we’ve just got to make the most of whatever comes our way. We’re here for a good time, not a long time, so let’s just get into it and have fun!!”
Colleen was silent. Since her afternoon with David she had become aware of how Trevor and his kind knew how to turn on the velvet tongue and caress her ego into felling “loved”, and kind-of warm inside, making it almost right to accept the heroin habit she’d developed, and the prostitution.
But she knew better than to create a scene now. Felix’s offer was too tempting to let pass. But she noted the thoughts about the devils temptation. Coolly she got up from the couch and grabbed her handbag.
“Come-on!” she said.
-=oOo=-
It was over a fortnight before Colleen was in the city again.
This time she wasn’t there to thieve lingerie or cosmetics.
In a Book shop in Russell Street she asked the assistant “Do you sell a book called ‘The Geeta’?”
“Yes we do.”
Then he stood, walked toward her and looked her in the eye.
She stopped, mesmerised, and held eye contact, but without his changing the slightest curl of lip or raise of eyebrow, merely by his thinking a thought of jocular disdain, she twitched her head, looked away, and fell into a silence of introspection, as if for the first time she had actually heard herself carrying on.

We must accept Poor Migrants too, in 21C!
It's inspiring to see progress in the waking of the minds of our federal politicians, on immigration. Slowly, slowly we prompt our leaders with logic, reason and even, on occasion, from "On High", Spiritual Wisdom.
Naturally those embroiled in politics, finance and (self) defence, preclude themselves from understanding Spiritual Wisdom. So the Wise who receive it are, often unhappily, even for the sake of Serving, brought to redefine and sometimes reduce such Pearls to the chow of political wisdom.
Often this demands more than time and mental energy from our economists, politicians and academics than they have to properly consume it. Also, the necessary spoon of humility is never easy for them to hold.
But slowly-slowly they do, digest it and, humorous to the Self, burp forth as if the Wisdom originated within themselves. Once again, the Wise know otherwise. They know Spiritual Wisdom or, the Source, the Fountain, the Well-Spring of Spiritual Wisdom like the very Earth upon which Humanity lives and depends, is the exclusive property of no man or woman, but exists timeless, waiting for us to resource It.
Like Earth, Water, Fire and Air, Spiritual Wisdom will provide Humanity, all of Humanity, not just the 'Skilled" with every political, economic and academic strategy, policy and Teaching we will ever need to "grow" the national and international economy, and carry all of us, not just the skilled, to the Quality of Life worth aiming for.
To the Spiritually Wise, That Quality of Life is Within, Peace. Selecting migrants on the basis of "skills" is not, I repeat not even politically wise, let alone Spiritually Wise.
John Howard, Kim Beasley, if you cannot see, hear or feel this, it is time you both asap, ate humble pie, and asked.
LEAVING SPIRITUAL WISDOM ASIDE........
9/03/00. Alice Springs
......for it doesn't take That to see the true form the agenda takes, of Howard-and-Ruddock' s old and new immigration policies, and in fact what they hide from the people of Australia.
In short, utter hypocrisy. Jeremy Seabrook's article (The Guardian Weekly Feb 17-23 pp13) entitled "Racists and hypocrites" pinpoints those elements in the policies of the British and European governments. Governments so quick to condemn Austria for allowing Jorg Haider's far right-wing "Freedom Party" into coalition with the leading "People's Party" of Wolfgang Schussel.
In seeing the similarities in many right-wing European political parties and the sub-textual policies of the Australian government, it is impossible to not ally the word "racist" with the Australian Liberal Federal Government, and in correctly interpreting ALP policy over the years, to them also.
Importantly however, a "White Australia" policy, or as it happened, an "Anglo-centric" immigration policy was in fact extremely sensible in the early days of what everyone knew would become a large and vibrant Nation. It was sensible because the most attention had to be in the early preparatory years, decades, even centuries of the nation-to-be, so as to establish a coordinated base of administrative infrastructure etc. But now the usefulness of those attitudes have long passed their expiry date, and in general are deeply damaging to all and any Human Being.
However, this does not lessen the Aborigine's case for better treatment by whites.
The judgemental error in how the invading British decided to mistreat Indigenous Australians, was quite typical of most British and European imperialist forces of that era, which offers no excuse, and rather than lessen the need for someone to be accountable, intensifies the need to establish where the incorrect "western" attitudes first arose.
My own inquiries (on the backs of many reputable researchers) take us back at least as far as the 4th Century AD to the "Councils of Nicea", of the AD 320s, chaired by the Roman Emperor "Constantine" (the 1st Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity, albeit on his deathbed!) I've heard it said that the ancient Greek Philosopher "Plato" is to blame. Another is that it's all Eve's fault.
Perhaps so. I guess the reality is, it's all academic now.
But in reviewing the track record of the most dominant culture, western materialism, it is plain that some serious revision needs to occur, purely in order to identify and expunge the toxic biases from those who still hold intolerant racist, sexist, creedal, nationalist and political beliefs.
Nevertheless, I stray.
Once, racist beliefs were the best a bad bunch could come up with, but today, for better or for worse, priorities have changed, from "race " to "riches ", if any "priorities" are to be defined.
"Australia welcomes skilled migrants! "
"How else can these people obtain the skills we recognise and accept, other than from being wealthy enough (usually very wealthy) in their home nation to afford the appropriate education? " The Australian public is left to speculate on the reasons for accepting only the "skilled", read "wealthy ".
I put it that in fact one reason is because they are prepared to bring their questionably acquired wealth with them.
Yum-yum eh Johnny?
Second; because the wealthy, no matter where, usually are wealthy because they accept and adopt corruption.
Another "tick" from Johnny.
Third; wealth, or the adopting of the materialistic lifestyle, demands the person becomes "sophisticated" ie., deceptive, misleading, and "specious" ie., "apparently good but without real merit".
These traits, not talents, not qualities, it is no surprise, are praised by the world's upper classes and ruling elites. The very sophisticates who work ceaselessly through their political, media and advertising juggernauts on dividing public opinion, and who retreat to their econo-graphic fortresses when war breaks out between the divided plebs.
We haven't seen this scenario in Australia yet, but the recipe, strategies, policies and teachings are exactly the same.
Whether we talk about immigration, taxation, employment, Land Rights, international relations, education and last but very much indictable, Religion, the policies are exactly the same!
Classist, racist, all-corrupting and born in the witches cauldron "think-tanks " of anti-Spiritual fascism.
Naturally those embroiled in politics, finance and (self) defence, preclude themselves from understanding Spiritual Wisdom. So the Wise who receive it are, often unhappily, even for the sake of Serving, brought to redefine and sometimes reduce such Pearls to the chow of political wisdom.
Often this demands more than time and mental energy from our economists, politicians and academics than they have to properly consume it. Also, the necessary spoon of humility is never easy for them to hold.
But slowly-slowly they do, digest it and, humorous to the Self, burp forth as if the Wisdom originated within themselves. Once again, the Wise know otherwise. They know Spiritual Wisdom or, the Source, the Fountain, the Well-Spring of Spiritual Wisdom like the very Earth upon which Humanity lives and depends, is the exclusive property of no man or woman, but exists timeless, waiting for us to resource It.
Like Earth, Water, Fire and Air, Spiritual Wisdom will provide Humanity, all of Humanity, not just the 'Skilled" with every political, economic and academic strategy, policy and Teaching we will ever need to "grow" the national and international economy, and carry all of us, not just the skilled, to the Quality of Life worth aiming for.
To the Spiritually Wise, That Quality of Life is Within, Peace. Selecting migrants on the basis of "skills" is not, I repeat not even politically wise, let alone Spiritually Wise.
John Howard, Kim Beasley, if you cannot see, hear or feel this, it is time you both asap, ate humble pie, and asked.
LEAVING SPIRITUAL WISDOM ASIDE........
9/03/00. Alice Springs
......for it doesn't take That to see the true form the agenda takes, of Howard-and-Ruddock' s old and new immigration policies, and in fact what they hide from the people of Australia.
In short, utter hypocrisy. Jeremy Seabrook's article (The Guardian Weekly Feb 17-23 pp13) entitled "Racists and hypocrites" pinpoints those elements in the policies of the British and European governments. Governments so quick to condemn Austria for allowing Jorg Haider's far right-wing "Freedom Party" into coalition with the leading "People's Party" of Wolfgang Schussel.
In seeing the similarities in many right-wing European political parties and the sub-textual policies of the Australian government, it is impossible to not ally the word "racist" with the Australian Liberal Federal Government, and in correctly interpreting ALP policy over the years, to them also.
Importantly however, a "White Australia" policy, or as it happened, an "Anglo-centric" immigration policy was in fact extremely sensible in the early days of what everyone knew would become a large and vibrant Nation. It was sensible because the most attention had to be in the early preparatory years, decades, even centuries of the nation-to-be, so as to establish a coordinated base of administrative infrastructure etc. But now the usefulness of those attitudes have long passed their expiry date, and in general are deeply damaging to all and any Human Being.
However, this does not lessen the Aborigine's case for better treatment by whites.
The judgemental error in how the invading British decided to mistreat Indigenous Australians, was quite typical of most British and European imperialist forces of that era, which offers no excuse, and rather than lessen the need for someone to be accountable, intensifies the need to establish where the incorrect "western" attitudes first arose.
My own inquiries (on the backs of many reputable researchers) take us back at least as far as the 4th Century AD to the "Councils of Nicea", of the AD 320s, chaired by the Roman Emperor "Constantine" (the 1st Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity, albeit on his deathbed!) I've heard it said that the ancient Greek Philosopher "Plato" is to blame. Another is that it's all Eve's fault.
Perhaps so. I guess the reality is, it's all academic now.
But in reviewing the track record of the most dominant culture, western materialism, it is plain that some serious revision needs to occur, purely in order to identify and expunge the toxic biases from those who still hold intolerant racist, sexist, creedal, nationalist and political beliefs.
Nevertheless, I stray.
Once, racist beliefs were the best a bad bunch could come up with, but today, for better or for worse, priorities have changed, from "race " to "riches ", if any "priorities" are to be defined.
"Australia welcomes skilled migrants! "
"How else can these people obtain the skills we recognise and accept, other than from being wealthy enough (usually very wealthy) in their home nation to afford the appropriate education? " The Australian public is left to speculate on the reasons for accepting only the "skilled", read "wealthy ".
I put it that in fact one reason is because they are prepared to bring their questionably acquired wealth with them.
Yum-yum eh Johnny?
Second; because the wealthy, no matter where, usually are wealthy because they accept and adopt corruption.
Another "tick" from Johnny.
Third; wealth, or the adopting of the materialistic lifestyle, demands the person becomes "sophisticated" ie., deceptive, misleading, and "specious" ie., "apparently good but without real merit".
These traits, not talents, not qualities, it is no surprise, are praised by the world's upper classes and ruling elites. The very sophisticates who work ceaselessly through their political, media and advertising juggernauts on dividing public opinion, and who retreat to their econo-graphic fortresses when war breaks out between the divided plebs.
We haven't seen this scenario in Australia yet, but the recipe, strategies, policies and teachings are exactly the same.
Whether we talk about immigration, taxation, employment, Land Rights, international relations, education and last but very much indictable, Religion, the policies are exactly the same!
Classist, racist, all-corrupting and born in the witches cauldron "think-tanks " of anti-Spiritual fascism.
TOP CRIMS of the 20th Century
What does it take for the media, the people's "Window to the world!", to get on the case of those behind the wars of the 20th century and the aftermaths still to manifest? We've had 70 years of de-classified documentation on the shananagans got up to in seven decades of "spy games". Can none of us add-up?
With what's come out in the papers lately ie., in "The Australian", (27/3/2000 pp8) "BP oiled coup with cash, claim Turks", about British Petroleum (BP) and Amoco in cahoots with good old MI-6 in 1993, to win the oil fields of Azerbaijan through corruption, subversion, installation of a puppet president, and military arms-for-oil deals, questions must be asked about the relationships between the big commercial players and the imperialist government's foreign agents.
Also in "The Guardian Weekly" (10/2/2000 pp11) "Briton gets life for Indian arms drop", we find a report of a British Agent getting life for an illegal arms drop of 500 AK-47 rifles, 250k of ammo, 12 rocket launchers and 100 anti-tank grenades to the Indian Ananda Marga cult in Dec '95. Surely we're obliged to inquire;
"How much of a hand have those disreputable organisations (BP, Amoco and MI6, et al) and their sporting corporate opponents had in all the wars large-and-small of the 20th Century?"
I read that 30,000 people died in the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Small beer to WWI or WWII (over 30 million in WWII alone!). But who should shoulder the blame, in the face of the evidence?
I do muse about the winners always judging the losers, yet the "winners" seem to escape charges and convictions of war crimes, which they have always excelled at carrying out.
I've learnt well how inhumane, wealth makes people. BP and British Intelligence, both at the top of the pile, go well together it seems, to ruthlessly play God and bring about the slaughter of any number of innocent Azers, or Kurds or Nigerians (or was that Shell?) for the sake of winning the filthy booty.
I used to say that business is just a gentrified version of war.
Oh how naive I was!
I look back on what we know about the 20th Century and ask "which war of the last 100 years was not engineered by business interests similar (if not the same) as British Petroleum's etc?"
I've no doubt that a huge proportion of the conflicts which ravaged the globe over the last 100 years, had their genesis in the boardrooms of the likes of just such oil and mineral mining companies.
Were a dedicated reporter, an investigative journalist, to quantify the damages done to third world peoples, to the environment, to the life expectancy on Earth, over the last 100 years, and of course to the peoples of Europe and Asia, during the two world wars, by private financial interests, and publish the findings , I think many True Believers would be most pleasantly surprised in the renewed popularity of a leftwing ethical, indeed Spiritual Communist Party.
If anyone was unclear as to why our "a-a-a, i-i-i, oo-oo-oo", Prime Minister refuses to apologise to the Aborigines, consider the flow-on effects to the Poms having to bear some responsibility, and further, to what might follow in the manner of necessary apologies, reconciliation and remuneration from every other colonialist, imperialist nation to every plundered Indigenous nation and culture around the world?
I think it's time we addressed such issues, everywhere, in keeping with our own attempts at an apology to the Aborigines and Reconciliation, because these two local subjects have their seeds in a far bigger, far more fundamental social and economic problem, which pervades perhaps the greater part of all recorded western history, perhaps as far back as (Christian interpretations of) Eve and Adam's fall from Grace in Eden.
Of course the Euros and Poms would insist their own judges sit presiding over any hearings and trials.
I suggest a court room presided over by Elders of every Indigenous Nation ever plundered by gubbas.
Considering what we now know about how rotten British Justice is, Australians, if we are not racist, and want a Just and Peacful world for the kids, can never again regard the British aristocracy and it's institutions as trustworthy allies.
I suggest we have no alternative but to sever diplomatic and trade relations with Britain, pending a full "Royal" Commission into Britain's involvement in the wars of the 20th Century, as uncovered by the newspaper report on Azerbaijan and BP, Amoco and MI6.
Of course were I saying this with tongue-in-cheek, it still serves to point up the extent of the "Apology" problem we have here in Australia.
How far back do we go? Where do we begin, or, where does the problem begin?
Indeed, one is brought to ask whether all the disputes around the world today; Northern Ireland, Zimbabwe, Palestine, Chechnya, Nigeria, Eritrea, Kosovo, Aceh, India/Pakistan, the Solomon Islands, West Papua, Bougainville etc., have their genesis in the same failures in western corporate consumers to conquere their own materialistic desires?
And how desirous have the British been of late, to avoid facing up to their responsibilities?
