we can’t pretend that we do not know” Edition

Me;
All sound and
true!
It occurs to me
that this longtime political focus on "externals" in need
of human treatment, by the big 2 Australian political parties, is
their, and the offshore media cabals' ways of keeping the focus off
the off-camera destruction of our own "internals", our
Aborigines?
This type of
article focusing on Sri Lanka's chaos, are necessary, no doubt.
Media suffers
from having to keep items as succinct as they can, to keep readers
able to take-in the content, less so now, since online media has not
the constraints of the hard-copy press. And trying to include too
many details makes articles weaker.
But, the Jews of
Europe, as they had been for centuries, were a resistant tribe, who
persisted in keeping to their ways and traditions.
Ways and
traditions which, for better or for worse, were adding up to be
against, and debilitating to, the general movement of "modern"
European culture, in it's [questionable] "progress".
Also, these types
of articles, good though this article is, when referring to the
Jewish story of the 1930s, fail also to inform that the Jews were not
just out of step with 20th century Europe, but were also as we all
know, extremely "canny" business people and investors, and
were rightly seen as serious challenges to the possibly less
"entrepreneurial" Europeans.
On top of that,
for centuries, Jews were not allowed to own land in European nations.
There may have been good and bad reasons for this. I go so far as
to put it that perhaps the Jews were more Honest in how they
capitalized the land they owned, and to the European monarchies, and
their longtime seriously corrupt administrations, the Jews may have
been regarded as threats to the European elites'
"nice-little-earners".
The old Jewish
outlawing of "usury" for one. The property tax of land
rent for government revenue, another [which China grew upon, and will
re-introduce in 2015], both inherent in Jewish law, and both ignored
by the modern western powers.
This deliberate
ignoring of these two important economic means of economic
regulation, being why we have such disparities in our "class-based"
system/s.
This adds to say
that the western "racism" against Jews was unfounded, but
on different reasons as put in most modern articles supporting
Judaism.
As another
commentor writes here, there are other, undisclosed reasons why the
oppression of Tamils in Sri lanka is of interest to the western
alliance, and that seems to be oil and gas resources, and other
issues of land occupation and speculation.
But back to my
point, these are as often the same reasons why our Aborigines are out
of the news in terms of the disenfranchising they suffer from having
the natural and full rights to their own lands.
Many issues, most
of which create this furphy we know as "racism".
