TO Latham, post Australian Embassy Jakarta bombing

This is a letter (email) I just sent our next Prime Minister, Mr Mark Latham, about yesterday's Jakarta Australian Embassy bombing.


Well!

So it came (in Jakarta), almost as predicted.

Of course, it was all an Islamic conspiracy, nothing to do with the more devious, more secretive global plutocracy (the establishment), better united across the planet than el Qa'ida or J.I.

Will we ever know? And what about that which shook us three years ago tomorrow?

I'll never fully believe the "official" line. There's far-far too much skullduggery on the establishment's side, simply because lack of money is not a restriction for them, like it is with the Socialism-leaners. Neither are Ethics a restriction for them......

Ne'ertheless? CLEARLY, Australia is in the sights of the anti-capitalists, the anti-western-culturalists, what with yesterday's Jakarta Embassy bombing.

How does a Responsible PM deal with this?

Finding the perpetrators is one thing, and even then it is a relatively minor issue - "take one down, three replace them".

Fundamental is finding the root-cause of such actions, whether in Beslan or Jakarta. While it's almost anti-westminsterial politics to go right to the root of the situation - inequitable opportunity, through inequitable Land distribution - global and local politics today has decidedly shifted some way off the Westminsterial line of thinking - adversarial, competitive, winners-v-loosers, centralised, legalistic, classist, holyer-than-thou, white supremacist, - bullshit.

MOST unfortunately, it's the best (small-b) bullshit we've had - thus far!
Howard, and with all due respect to Kim, he too, is in essence "being led" down the deadly militaristic road of "bomb the crap, out of them" policies toward the increasing numbers of desperate and landless refugees, asylum-seekers, freedom fighters, people who have usually had the crap beaten or bombed out of them, their family, their village, their tribe, nation and Beautiful Culture until bereft of all reason to treat white-skins with anything but vehement and murderous hatred.

I cannot blame them.

Is it that hard for politicians to understand the ruinous horror the west has dropped on these absolutely beautiful Human Beings of the Middle-East and eastern Europe over the last fifty or so years?

Can none of us see what a person there is left with, once all has been callously blown to Hell by smart-arses like Rumsfeld, Chaney and Bush?

As the west, including this latest political machine of the ALP, is so stuck on blaming the victim (like the system tries and convicts would-be innocent people forced into crime by the established corruption), maybe we should be "going the whole hog" by putting the "blame" where it truly belongs!

Western Christian white supremacist, establishment land theft.

Why would a person, possessed of their needs and provisions to feel secure in their place in the world, never asking too much, revering a Unitary Life Source (Allah), loving of their children, wife, family, and all their village and culture, go and massacre one to two hundred children?

I can just imagine John Howard, John Anderson, Peter Costello and Tony Abbott planning and enacting a guerilla-raid on a Sydney outer-western suburbs school, with dynamite strapped to their torsos and demanding the release of John Elliott and Renee Rivkin from detention.

Or perhaps is more realisitic to see them planning and executing the same in Indonesia, to eek revenge upon those who blew up the two bars in Bali.
Hmmmm, make a cartoon out of that one Tanberg or Nicholson!

Hard truths uphold good culture, and as we are today, this is why they are so hard to give the airing they should have.

Our culture is NOT GOOD, Mark!

You (ALP Collective) have the spotlight here.

For decades, if not more, the Australian establishment has assumed the responsibility of colonial master to PNG and the regional islands, with nothing much else than tragic outcomes - but NOT for the corporate cronies of the right-wing landocracy, thank-you very much, they're swimmingly satisfied with their plunder ("the headhunter shield looks jarst larvoleee on the foyer wall darck-lings!").
PNG is in it's mess because of the generational arrogance of the Downer-type, going back as far as we like.

Indonesia (and other Asian countries) has been completely unnecessarily insulted by the current government, so it's little wonder we are not "most favoured nation" next-door.

The same arrogance has misguided all our forays into the south-western Pacific islands and S-E Asian nations of the last nine years of the Liberal/National government, but it goes back to well before the Kanackers were shipped-in as plantation slaves.


The latest Australian police actions in the Solomons et al, are possibly a refreshing change in what the coppers (an unual dispatch, one thinks?) have until now been doing in those island-groups - "same-old, same-old" - "Treat 'em like monkeys and plunder their resources before they can figure-out what they're good for!" (Classic British maxim)

You have got to weigh up your options -

More of the same less-and-less popular stances of aggression against non-existent (international) enemies, or a complete reversing of the Australian political attitude.

REALISM! FACTS! TRUTH evern!

I humbly reckon you'd knock the socks off the majority of Australians, especially your hard-core voters, were you to talk true to the People about addressing the root-cause of the "terrorism" phenomenon - inequitable distribution of Land.

This is an Australian concern, as much as it is a global concern.

Further, there is an imbalance particularly marked between Australia and the rest of the world, in the demographics.

Narrow-minds and the selfish argue that Australia is "already too full!" (Rama save me!?)

Bullshyte!

Any serious incumbant or contender would think hard about these points.

Either way, it's not going to be easy, but has to be done by you and your cabinet.

Howard classically divides the debate into neat little boxes - so he can play better his "legal-speak".

A Compleat picture of the global and local situation is an enemy and an anathema to Howard, for it cuts through his establishment rhetoric and gives people explanations which not only can the masses understand - but the Compleat Picture so-called, also MAKES SENSE!

"Christ!? WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!?!?"

We gotta have it, mayte! There ain't no option.

Howard and Downer have failed in South East Asia, for almost a decade.

This is why we are being threatened by the less-meek Islamists.


Oh! and "Fuck the church!" (Sorry, it's Duty.)
