At November 2002, the whole population of Earth is calling the powers-that-be, for REALPOLITIK!
Everywhere, political parties in all notional democracies are constrained by until afraid of the popular vote. This is from being successfully courted by the opposite economic phenomenon of the private corporate world, until neglect of the Human element in the complete global equation becomes so serious as to require a shift in political/economic thinking.
The long-awaited paradigm shift; The Great Leap Forward, and the end to a long, long drought, parched principally of Reason, and just basic, simple Truths;
All wealth comes from the Land.
The Land is your Mother.
You CANNOT sell your Mother!
The OLD TESTAMENT, in LEVITICUS 25, instructs us, everywhere..., how best to relate with the Land.
The advent and serious extent of war-zones and social upheaval are in-the-main indicators of how uneconomic or inefficient the effected political/economic/social and Spiritual aspects of Life have become in that region. However it is no longer regional.
These illogical crises arise from the "winner" psychosis of needing to keep winning, as we see in the Christian Pharisee-politics of the USA. Australia's political plutocracy, from the Maritime Workers Union through to the West Australian Liberal/National Party, are under pressure from the USA, and by most accounts, the Americans have them by the short-and-curleys.
And that's just in Australia.
However, in Australia, ahead of the rest of the world, a larger-than-ever percentage of the population are now awake to the mis-information the US corporate advertising and marketing propaganda juggernaut has been thrusting upon us all for fifty very materialistic years.
This 'dawning' of the facts, of the truthful information about why we live the way we uneconomically, unsustainably do, is rising in parallel with the 'calls' being put out by the misnomered 'Terrorist' organisations of the planet, for the weapons-soaked, consumption- compulsive, and plainly quite insane first world nations of the United States, Europe, Britain and Australia et al, to move forward from this current and brutal ignorance of the plain facts on how best to run the global and local economies.
Regards the Australian Aboriginal (and widening Global) Conciliations on Land Rights issues, etc., we have crossed the hurdles of misinformation, and now recognise our Equality in the matter of Equitable Land Distribution, which, to Justly Honour the Indigenous People of the Earth, only speaks whence ALL THINGS ARE CONSIDERED.
These reforms are how all our Ancestors would've wanted us all to Live.
Regards Australia's regional concerns, particularly Indonesia, I may have perceived an inkling of Good Sense in the current Liberal/National Party policies of the last 2 years.
Whoever was responsible for the recent Bali bombing, which remains a 50-50% chance of having it's genesis in the West, a unique and potentially Good opportunity has arisen.
Australia's military and intelligence agencies have called to work with the Indonesian military (TNI) and also the elite Kopasas section of the powerful and corrupt Indonesian army, in sorting out the aftermath of Kuta Beach.
Dealt with in the Right Light, so-to-speak, this could be how the region will be stabilised, and strengthened against any unethical plundering of any person's Homeland.
The same system of government revenue referred to earlier, from Leviticus 25, would apply perfectly to such as Indonesia, with it's thousands of islands, once autonomous and in balance, economically, politically, socially and Spiritually.
Papua New Guinea, the Polynesian, Melanesian, "Philippesian" Island groups and other local neighbour-nations would all benefit from such an admittedly "bold" move.
The opposition to the ONLY OPTION LEFT of Land and Tax Reforms, to Land Rent for Government Revenue, exposes itself whenever there is a call for a war against terrorism, a war against Iraq, a war for the American perversion of 'Freedom', via the facades of George Bush, Colin Powell, Tony Blair and most shamefully for us, John Howard.
What don't we know about the Islamic economic system, would shock us I suspect, for some of the mainstays of our western economic structure are quite forbidden in most Islamic countries. Interest for one, and a much closer appreciation of the relationship between Humanity and the very Earth which sustains us remains, due I suspect, to their mainly third-world economic status, combined with being very-much-more agrarian.
Nevertheless, news reports of chaotic upheaval in a most impoverished Bangladesh, right through Asia, or South America and Africa says we have reached the Eleventh Hour to the first Planetwide deadline 'Midnight Hour', whence the most important change to Human Life on Earth will begin.
And, for lack of any other profound Wisdom and Guidance and Leadership, I here and now stand for the People of Australia and by relationship, for the People of Planet Earth to put forward the ONLY OPTION NECESSARY to the current Australian environmental and (otherwise) portending economic problems.
------------------------------------------
THE AUSTRALIAN LAND has been abused for two hundred and fourteen years, through the Anglo- European system of agriculture and husbandry.
This same flawed system has evolved into the "cash-crop" and "broad-acre" methods which are highly detrimental to the long-term ability of the Land to produce.
Cash-crop, broad-acre farming also destroys local township/village communities, as the big money affords 'labour-saving devices' to reduce employment by upto 90% or so.
I call for the end of all cash-cropping and broad-acre farming in Australia.
I call for the end of the corporatised livestock cattle and sheep meat and dairy-product industries as well.
The hard evidence is available: Meat eating is unnecessary; it's growth and processing is uneconomic (compared to grains, fruit and vegetable production), as well as generally unhealthy for the consumer and their medical system.
These hard-line calls for reform are what is necessary without doubt.
For the sake of Education and Edification of those who would oppose, and for the General Good, such reforms needs must be precluded by a thorough, detailed review of all farm practices, aimed toward Completely Sustainable Farming.
I suggest six months lee-time from the acceptance of the introduction of these reforms, to gather, collate and disseminate, across Australasia, the necessary Knowledge and 'software' infrastructure on
"LAND RENT for REVENUE"
for Federal, State and Local Government (Council, Shire, Island, City or geographic region) funding and methods of operation.
Even, or perhaps especially, State and Federal parliament also!
Replacing with these methods requires a review of the privatising of industries and businesses which are most economically suited to public ownership; electricity, water, sewerage, roads, public transport, waste disposal, telephony, etc.
Replacing with these New Land and Taxation Reform policies and methods requires also a review of our immigration and detention policies.
Reviews of our detention policies cannot be restricted to the "Boat People" sections of our citizenry, but must cover all forms of punitive and security centre ideology.
I call for the disassembly of our current prison system, to be replaced with rural settlement, remedial and work opportunities for prisoners and detainees.
And so it goes on.
Restructuring the mindset and therefore the demographic of Australia (as a Leader in Global Economic Reform) requires no more than Education on the facts as posited in Leviticus 25 of the OLD TESTAMENT, and further explained in;
"PROGRESS AND POVERTY" and "SOCIAL PROBLEMS",
as well as other books by the 19th Century American philosopher/journalist HENRY GEORGE.
If the Australian agricultural and rural situation is as serious as the mainstream media terrorises us into believing it is, then it is time to put aside, for the Greater Good, our own individual desires and ambitions, and it is time to put our own very capable minds and Intellects toward solving the water-shortage problems, the unemployment crises, the homelessness dilemmas, the suicide agonies, the detention centre and prison atrocities and the deceptions about drug and hard material abuse.
It is time Australia's leaders stood up against the sway of the multi-national corporate terror, and in an agreed concordance with Indonesia, New Guinea, New Zealand, and all local, regional and national administrations, asserted the Will of the People by introducing and initiating the necessary Land and Taxation Reforms the Whole Planet needs so urgently;
LAND RENT FOR GOVERNMENT REVENUE
This call is for the Global Audience, because such vital and deep Reforms will only Attain their Rightful Place in our financial equations, when The Will of the People of the Global Village, Humanity together, United, put out the public call for Land Rent for Government Revenue.
The modern and ancient worlds are looking to Australia for Guidance, Wisdom and Forgiveness.
Meanwhile Australians are being made paranoid about a prolonged drought, our pastoralists and graziers bleating 'we're losing billions!'?
Yet how many country/ rural Australians or their Communities actually receive one percent of the corporate farming returns in better years?
In any year?
To be continued!
