Time-Honored Extended Family GAWN!

110519Th Time-Honored Extended Family GAWN!

Today, I hear there's a 'conference' or 'talkfest' down on the Gold Coast, south of Brisbane, discussing issues around domestic violence in our Aboriginal Communities.

A brief in-look via ABC Breakfast on ABC1, showed little of value, but enough to recognise the same old rhetoric that never gets to what I at least, regard as the roots of these, and white societies problems.

I'm appalled more each time some 'boffin' gets airtime prophesying their opinions, yet are clearly stuck in some academic-spiral which goes nowhere worthwhile - merely more verbal about how the extremely narrow-minded laboratory view likes being evermore myopic.

Housing.

This, in terms of today's domestic violence, specially in Cultures akin to our Wise Aborigines, is where the problems are rooted.

It is a crime of immense proportions that our cultural pilots, those in academia, cannot see through and break the intellectual barriers upholding the ignorantly accepted housing models we have, particularly in Australia, but of course now by far the dominant model across the developed world.

The 'nuclear family home'.

But of course, it is not nearly so much the actual 'bricks-and-mortar', but the orientation of those who occupy the structures - the nuclear family.

A model long in it's development, over thousand of years, I guess, if we consider that most all of the ancient western world has been heading in this direction, since the earliest warlords and monarchs separated themselves, with of course their sexual partners - as often deemed Queens - from the rest of the tribe, and lived, worked, played and slept in their own isolated 'nuclear' chambers.

As the leaders of tribes have come to be the role models for the tribe, if they haven't always held that role, the rest would naturally aspire to the same living circumstances.

As the male has been the dominant partner in nuclear marriages for quite a while - perhaps in Judeo-Christian lineages, since the notorious biblical 'Fall, from the Garden of Wisdom', which may give a clue to what was before the fall, perhaps a matriarchal culture, led, or ruled, or governed by the women, but, post-Fall, as likely male-led because 'IT'S BAD OUT THERE!' so totally necessary for the most capable of physical defence of the tribe - the men - the men have chosen their own housing designs.

However, again, in reference to wider implications of 'the fall' which clearly indicate that some Wise cultural structures existed uptil the fall, and were lost after the fall, so, it's fair to assume, that the Wisest ways of living were lost.

I put it that one of the most fundamental cultural ways lost after the fall was the 'Extended Family' living and societal model.

As I've written before, and maintain, prior to the white fellas from Britain arriving invading and assuming authority in Australia, the Aborigine was still living, right across the continent and islands, in that pre-Fall 'Garden of Wisdom' way.

As, of course, I maintain, were all pre-western-colonialism cultures world-around.

And I, with my limited knowledge on Aboriginal Culture, nevertheless boldly go where it seems no other whiteface academic dares go, and assert that the Wisdom and Time-Honored Culture of the Aborigine was deeply, Wisely and Profoundly founded in their Extended Families.

Of course, other factors were likely fundamental in the ability of this 'design' to be maintained, such as their being in-the-main 'Nomadic'. But there are many examples across the continent, and in other cultures, of settled communities, as in the islands immediately north of Australia's, where very settled communities and housing models existed within the familial designs of extended families, etc.

However, as well as referring to those apparently 'lost' extended family and housing structures, any Proper analysis of today's domestic social problems in Aboriginal and white cultures/societies/families must analyse what we are forcing upon the Bleck and white Tribes, in terms of housing, and whatever negative outcomes arise from them, as-in the concomitant breakdown of intra-family and thus intra-social relationships.

So, let's go to the current and intended model, of the standard, 3-bedroom nuclear family home. Why it has come about, why it has been 'accepted' as how we should live, and what negatives come with it.

Firstly, I maintain that the nuclear family home has evolved purely because it is the most profitable way for those who have held 'authority' over their society to stay in power.

All of today's land-and-housing 'packages' grew out of the earliest land-grabbing 'pioneers' sub-dividing the huge tracts of land they, in most cases, stole from the Ab-ORIGINAL but less militarily-capable Owners.

Of the post-fall era, in Australia, which began in 1788, the land-grabbers came with, and as much brought with them, the lost tribes of Israel's corrupted economic model(s), al-be-they accompanied by the Noble and Honorable who knew better, and who tried, obviously, in vein, to establish the Righteous economic structures, principally of having government collecting the 'Economic Rent' for it's revenue.

In South Australia, one Fine white Fellow, attempted to introduce that very economic design, but, of course, was driven out by the dominant dogs of lost-tribes-corruption.

I believe his name was 'Wakefield', who put the question to the early settlers in that new-born colony of “Free men or Free land?”

Understandably, to the many settling there, a colony established quite deliberately having no convicts, thus all new settlers were free and came with enough wealth to be able to buy their way through the future decades, so there was no case for them to actually think Wisely, which in reality also means thinking selflessly, about what, in the Highest and longest terms, would be the best social and economic system to establish.

So 'free land', which is what underpins the 'economic rent for government revenue' case, had little or no chance of being taken up.

Besides, I'm sure that those with Noble minds, would not have been unaware of the threats from outside their economic borders, should such a Profound social and economic order be introduced as Law.

Always such honorable economic systems are seen as threats to the corrupted, who profit essentially and enormously, primarily from land speculation. To the corrupt, an egalitarian economic system which takes out of the society the individual's ability to callously make their billions from other peoples' most fundamental need - LAND - is the devil itself.

Exactly as we have it right across the western world.

So, today, it is accepted, although by the majority totally blinded by their own and ignorant religious ideologies and beliefs, that the 'system' has as it's foundation, the right to make a profit, no matter at what expense to the greater community, society, nation, or planet, from buying and selling land.

And the smaller the parcel of land one can sell and profit from, the better for them. Especially if one happens to have acquired large acreages. Yummy-subdivisions!

As land is the most important requirement a Human Being needs to survive, whether rented or owned, and as perhaps 98% of us are powerless against the powers-that-should-not-be - the biggest usually dynastic land-owners - we have to acquiesce to the game as it is, and, as we are most all naturally inclined to breed our own version of a family, we set out in life working toward possessing our own corner, our own castle, which would be on the most affordable piece of - land.

This is something which has grown to be the 'norm' over centuries in Australian and western societies.

That - however - DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT!

It just and sadly, happens to be the way it turned out.

But you get that, in this 'post-fall world'!

Say what Moses? Say what, Mr Leviticus?

So, tying this deeply corrupted economic system together with today's discussion about 'domestic violence in Aboriginal Communities', I don't think it's too large-a-leap for any audience to see the connection.

In this fallen nuclear family and housing society, the whole 'financial-year'-day-hour-minute of the income-maker's life are occupied with ensuring enough money to keep the roof over the family's heads.

This runs in almost complete contradiction with the finer and primary considerations of every person - that of their relationships, especially with their closest associates.

Family.

And more to this, the 'family' is in no way just 'mum, dad, and the 1, 2, 3 or more kids, all caged in these minimalist 'isolationist' nuclear family tragedies-er-homes.

It is a fundamental and ongoing glitch in and for the thinking processes of middle-generation adults - the parents of current children - to have to think in divided terms about how the grandparents are fairing, if the grandparents are not in the same house, or on the same patch of land. Adding to the general inefficiency of this super-division of the family, from their 'social group', from their workplace, from their other arenas of life, is this perhaps small but in both economic and relationships terms, separation of the larger family.

Then, need it be explained, is the extraordinary added expense of each nuclear family having to go-it-alone, in daily and weekly tasks once done together by either the males or the females, either with or without the boys or girls, of the larger group.

Simple, yet in relationship-terms hugely warming, nurturing comforting and beneficial to the educing of Intelligent, Wise and Honorable thinking and thus behaving, are tasks all have at some stage in their day or week to perform.

How much happier are they who get together, when ridiculous and, in-the-end, selfish economic 'musts' are not always out there waiting for us to attend to - by ourselves - to wash the family's clothing etc, to grow/harvest/process the foods, to build the housing/sheds/storage facilities, fix the motorbikes/cars/bus, brew the wine/beer or herbal medicinals and other reliefs?

But ALAS! Somewhere the devil has interceded and made it LAW that we cannot live, nurture, grow in health, in Spirit and in Wisdom, and actually be SECURE, and..., OH SHIT NO! BE HAPPY, collectively, in a large, connected, Wise, Intelligent and Contented Extended Family!

Meanwhile over in a New York prison, one of those upholders of the most evil economic system on earth - Dominique Strauss-Kahn - languishes under a 'suicide-watch'.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, now ex-head of the International Monetary Fund. The utterly unqualified, unmeritorious, most ignoble global organisation which until now, for some 2 or 3 hundred years has ordained that all of us, and especially the Original owners of the land the IMF's military forces conquered and stole, live in the most socially, culturally and personally damaging housing models known to man and to beast.

The 'nuclear family' housing model.

Enormously opposite issues. The seemingly little problems of Aboriginal domestic violence, and the IMF and it's horrendously erroneous land, social and housing models.

Yet! Intimately connected!

Sadly, today's 'academia' who always manage to be given the most prominent, most dominant seats and podiums and airtime in these little-little talkfests as is happening down on the Glitter Coast, paid as they are by the corporations who profit under the global umbrella of the IMF, cannot pull together the Intellect, Wisdom and Honor enough to put indisputable arguments which go directly and yes, Courageously, to these bottomline FACTS, about why the Youth of our Most Wise AND Most Beautiful Aborigines are getting' 'agitated' and lash out on single mothers sheltering in these utterly farcical and indeed evil concepts of nuclear family homes.

What might that fallen angel - Dominique Strauss-Kahn - of upclub IMF heaven say about THAT!?

And, given his freedom to speak ruthlessly Truthful, what would he suggest the IMF do about curing those little-little but deadly GLOBAL Social Problems​?

Actually, I'm not at all sure I would want to know!

However, it is clear that his upclubster mobs are fully aware of the 'Economic Rent' Science, if only because one Fine ex-leader of the Australian Labor Party, Mark Latham, in his book “The Latham Diaries” quotes in his introduction, Australia's own member of that heinous megalomania secret society within the IMF, the 'Illuminati', one John Winston Howard ex-PM, as recognising that the economic rent is the most honest tax!

Therefore, talkfestees down on the Fool's-Gold Coast, TALK ABOUT THAT, if'n any of you have any Integrity and desire to get to the cause of the Humble but really-REALLY ANGRY Bleck Fellas social and domestic troubles!

Oh..., yes...., This is quite a complex and involved, concept to have to consider, darlinkxxx? Another latte dear......? Have you tried the caviar on rye - delicious!”

Now, where were we.....? Oh yes, about next year's funding for the department at Sydney Uni campus..........”

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

'Cities, Floods and Land Distribution'

AND this morning, I tuned into the ABC Rad Nat's 'By Design' hosted by the pom, Alan Saunders, who went to issues about the recent floods in Australia.

Dutiful  as ever, I challenged them on the issues they NEVER go to, about land distribution.

Here 'tis......,


110205Sa

'Cities, Floods and Land Distribution'
(1253 words)

Email to Alan Saunders of ABC Radio National's 'By Design'.

Happy New Year.

This morning's program about floods and cities ranged over a few worthy points about making cities flood-proof, but, from a social reformist's view, missed the underlying factor of the distribution of the land upon which everyone depends.

As said, since the first cities, Humans have constructed them near water sources, commonly by rivers, or lakes, and have put-up-with the occasional floods.

When cities were first made manifest, the distribution of land for our various purposes was not an issue. Populations were very low, with exceptions, compared to the last 1, 2, 3 or more hundred years, as were the amount of 'industries' and other Human activities.

Now, we have to consider those factors, which is why councils and larger governments are obliged to outline 'zones', such as for industry, for residential, commerce, play, agriculture and... areas just unsuitable for any fixed, permanent occupation. Like flood plains.

As capitalistic commerce has become integral in most everything we do, from provision of utilities, through provision of foods, through to provision of land, for whichever purpose, logic, economics, and Wisdom have been forced to take a back seat to greedy profiteering.

So now anyone who comes into possession of larger tracts of land, however appropriated, no matter where they are located, is allowed to capitalise on the 'on-selling' of the land to anyone wealthy enough, or stupid enough to put themselves into debt to the evil banking system for a 'death-pledge' or 'mortgage', so-as to own their own patch of dirt.

There are factors, such as what new owners want to use the land for, as in suiting council zoning classifications etc. However, where current zoning layouts fail, is in just such topical considerations like flood plains.

Victoria's recent bush fires, another example of where it is necessary to plan occupation around.

But in regard to floods, and proofing occupied lands, thus the Human inhabitants from inundation and potential disaster, usually the lower land is sold to poorer people, so they are left to occupy 'unstable' land in terms of 'elevation'.

'Land Distribution', and the owners unquestioned right to sell-off any land they can, to others who are limited financially from buying 'up-the-hill', away from potential inundation, and loss of belongings and accommodation, and being drowned in misery, is not taken into consideration by laws or by land speculators.

(Remember the legal issues that came from a shonky realtor selling the gullible, quarter-acres of 'land' on an island off the Brisbane coast, and the owners too late finding out they had bought land which was offshore and thus permanently under-water?)

Indeed, all Australian land sale laws are determined, quite wrongly, by the force of elite foreign land speculators (think 'E.L. & C Bailleau', whence Victoria's current Premier 'big Ted' descends), usually themselves either in politics (refer; 'The Land Boomers' by Michael Cannon, published in 1966 by Melbourne Uni Press!), or up the trouser-legs of politicians, and not by Wise, considerate, truly economic and thus 'environmental' issues.

So, future planning for Human occupation of land, has to factor into design, considerations such as floods, and the intelligent distribution-and-use of land.

As it is, a farmer owning land on the outskirts of a town or city, who is being pushed out by habitation-growth, and chooses to sell their property, is allowed to flog it off to anyone who can afford it, without such things as 'flood-zone' limits.

As Australians are culturally fooled into thinking that life is best when they own their own house and/or acreage, we usually do anything to scrape together the funds.

But this caper is a fools-game, because the debt incurred, in such as the mortgage, and the immoral usury of interest rates, becomes more of a weight around our necks than being the provider of our own little Shangri La.

Besides, as discussed this morning, Australians have the biggest houses, which means, I guess, that we have the lowest number of occupants-per-house. This interprets to mean that we use the most land per capita, merely to feel OK at home.

Clearly, this is the most inefficient, thus the most uneconomical, thus the least sustainable culture of occupying land.

This shows in the devastation our suburbs are inflicting upon the wider natural ecological systems.

Not to mention the psychological maladies that manifest in these nuclear family houses, because we are all separated away from the 'Extended Family' of our own Community, Tribe and nation.

Indeed, it may be that most all of the western world's psychological and psychiatric services are brought into existence merely to cater for these totally unnatural ways of living?

Ask any 'Homeless' person, and they'll tell you that the world is a shithole full of singular, isolated delusions, built-up from our deeply erroneous 'western' culture of cutting us off from the inherent 'Balance' found in the Extended Family.

In each and every nuclear family, one 'king of the castle' typically 'Dad' (in mine, it was 'mum'), is firstly, malformed in his beliefs about being the boss, from his own cultural, small-family upbringing, and secondly is not prevented, by the Wisdom of the larger group of an Extended Family, from enforcing their own limited ideologies upon the (battered) wife and traumatised kids.

These are results from placing land distribution in the hands of narrow-minded, crapitalist speculators on everyone's most basic Human Right, and need, for land.

All of the above, give weight to the fundamental economic and social need for LAND (and Taxation) REFORMS.

There's not a politician in Australia who is not aware of this basic fact.

Even the tyrant John Howard admits that the best, most efficient method of taxation, is the 'Economic Rent' for government revenue.

So, why does your fine 'By Design' and other ABC programming never 'go there'?

OH! the Zionist IMF/ILO Freemason/Catholic global cabal of land-grabbers!

Thank your CEO Mark Scott for keeping us all so dumbed-down, will you?

As an addendum, it should be said, that the nuclear family home, is solely a fabrication of western elites in industry as well as in land ownership.

Because, crapitalism, as you know, depends upon an ever-expanding market, or ever-expanding demand. So, the more households, with as small a number of tenants as possible, the more of each product can be sold.

'White goods' like fridges and washing-machines, etc., sold to each and every house, make trillions for the manufacturers, but incur the most cost to both each small, nuclear family, and more importantly, to the environment, from production, from energy-use, and from disposal.

Same-same with autos, televisions, air-conditioners, heating appliances, etc., etc., etc.

So it goes with every product, such as bathroom facilities, kitchen appliances, and entertainment products and gizmos each single-family needs so they can get-up-each morning, wash, have breaky, commute to work, mainly to afford somewhere to retreat into, so they can, in some security and comfort, sleep, have breaky, wash, and prepare for work the next day.

Indeed, it is because of the most inefficient, thus, most uneconomic housing models (quote Nobel-Prize-winning Economist Paul Klugman, “western housing models are one of the greatest cultural disasters of history” paraphrased) that we have to commit our lives and sanity to slaving at the mill, day-in-day-out, year-after-year, life-after-life.

All fast-tracking us and the planet down the sewer!

Were we, on the other hand, Rightminded and Wise about how we live and share the complete environment, we would also not have the myopic dysfunctional cultural belief systems which have us afraid to share the land and our own lives with a larger family, to maximum efficiency.

Nor therefore the desperate need to acquiesce to speculative market pressures of ever-rising land prices, and for the poorer of us, having to resign ourselves to live under the waterline!

All Praise the Eternal Wisdom of the Immortal Aborigine, and their Wise and Fine Extended Family systems!

Cheers,


Only once has anyone at the ABC given me recognition for the issues I raise with them.

Usually, they are ever-ready to plagiarize, and say nought.  

The only one who did actually read on air one of my letters was in fact, Good Ol' Alan hisself!

So cheers Alan, but I don't expect this'n'll be read, 'cause it's a tad long, say what ol' Chum?

By George! It's the Henry Tax Review!

By George! It's the Henry Tax Review AT LAST!
Sunday evening, 2nd May 2010.

As I can't read things like tax reports and reviews, as they put me to sleep, and because most of the jargon passes straight over my head, I rely on our absolutely trustworthy media reporters and editors to give me their honest and unbiased brief.

Then I tap into the witch-realm and download something that makes me sound Wise and even at times, Intelligent.

Reading the first of many, no doubt, media reports,
on ABC's online “The Drum”, titled “Henry tax review fills Rudd's too-hard basket” (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/05/02/2888148.htm)

I was uncontrollably impelled to highlight “....economic rents from resources and land”, one of four of Dr Henry's recommended revenue tax bases. The other three being; personal income, business income and private consumption.

I recall reading one of Mark Latham's books when he was leading the federal ALP, and in the introduction, I think, he referred to an interview of John Howard, who admitted that “economic rent” or “Land Tax” was the most honest form of government revenue.

Why then, Howard did nothing to introduce Land Tax, is easily explained in everyones' knowing that we are the most sinful, that is the least honest, and thus most materialistic nation on Earth, therefore we are inclined to, as Frank Hardy would say, “gamble on two flies crawling up a wall”.

So putting our faith in the least honest, that is the least honorable method of making a buck, sort of follows as a given, methinks?

The least honorable income is by speculating on land, as-it-happens. This, in a way, is why the Aborigine has mostly maintained that “one should NEVER sell their Mother!”

The ABC article explains that the government, while trying to do-the-right-thing, by going with Dr Henry's recommendations, gave no clear sign posts as to which way, what pace, nor where we're going from here forward.

“The Treasurer says tax reform is a long-term proposition and not everything can be achieved now.”

As we are all so comfortable with bottomline corruption in good ol' Kkristian Australia, and as the majority of us have the tax-dodge down-pat these decades, long term propositions are generally focused on how long one can avoid the ATO, and a jail-term.

Bankruptcy is par-for-the-course, in many small-and-large business arenas here, with any penalties merely a forced holiday, mostly not behind bars.

So taking tax reform seriously is generally a no-no, because if it were serious, it would thereafter force the populace to reassess their rorts and dodgeees. In particular the major dodgee-rort of speculating on suburban land values, and, for farmers, waiting for the suburban spread to absorb their land, and then make squillions flogging it off at auction, to boost the family's profit-line, so they can upsell into a better class of suburb, or rural property. "Jes' roight for ouwr retoirement!"

Nevermind the endlessly upward cost of living in a house, borrowing for a death-pledge (mortgage), and renting anything better than a caravan? And SHOOSH NO never mind one's neighbour, who might not have had land-and-housing-speculating parents who could thereafter afford to send you to the brudderbond networks of upperclass mafioso schools, thus a guaranteed life of degrees and upper-end income brackets!

NAAAH! Just fiddle the books! I heard of a nutha tax loop hole the other day, down the golf course!

So, indeed, tax reform is a long term proposition!

Indeed-indeed...., the reforms have been under the table for about five and a half thousand years! Since the early Hebrew Levites Divined the most Honorable, most HOLY, Pure, simple, clean and incorruptible method of government revenue, and scribed it into their Temples' annual reports!

So..., referring to the treasurer's statement, as above, about these being long term propositions, to me, this rather begs the question, “Is it not therefore something we should teach our children?”

I avoided economics in my school years, much more a hands-on trades-type. So, to make amends, I attended a series of short courses when I was in my thirties (I think) at a Melbourne CAE adult education college.

This was after I'd become aware of this land tax thingo, so must have been in my late thirties. I think that as I'd never really been assaulted by the hegemonic crap of mainstream “economics”, as taught in our schools and colleges and universities, I was coming at it “fresh” as-it-were.

To some extent this helped, but in another way, it was not easy for the tutors, as I had no hesitation to question the well-honed bullshit they were trying to have the classes accept and imbibe.

In short, I was astounded at the illogical and utterly false dogma they expected the pupils to absorb! It was worse than Kkristian Bible classes!

I might have cut short my attendances at those economics classes, out of utter dismay, and disbelief, and was saved from premature doom only by the Philosophers at another school I attended.

As hard liquor has been a part of my diet since my late 'teens, I think I employed it as well as other medicative “meditative” practices to drown my grief.

“Grief” that this nothing-short-of-EVIL rubbish was what all our mainstream economics' courses in schools, colleges and universities were handing out to those who would graduate to become accountants and tax advisors and even public servants and politicians!

So, as, lately, I've heard a really catchy phrase being thrown around the government spin-doctor chambers (via our ever-trustworthy media of course! The last time I was in Canberra, I was told to leave and never come back, by the MILITARY!) which goes something like an “education revolution!”

Hohohohohohohohohoho!

Ho?

Clearly, it WOULD TRULY BE an Education Revolution, if our ever-Progressive and totally honest government were to introduce Economics courses in all our schools, colleges and universities which taught TRUE Economics, along the Pure, Scientific lines of Economic Rent, for government revenue!

“Excuse me Miss Gillard! If I gave you an apple, would you teach me some FACTS, in Economics?????”

“Daddy says that when I grow up, houses will cost two arms and three legs!?”

“I don't want to have to have a sex change, Miss Gillard!”
said the little girl.

Argh? Excuse me Julia? Has it occurred to the government that the kiddies might have something there.

That of incorporating both the “revolutionary” improvement in the education of our youth, with the necessary taxation reforms, as recommended by Australia's leading Economist, Dr Ken Henry?

Surely, if ex-PM Howard, as well as the Hallowed Sir Winston Churchill, and the Honorable H.V. “Doc” Evatt, and a string of other Wise, and Brilliant passed world leaders accepted that “economic rent” is the most honest method of collecting revenue, surely you are obliged to do the same, and teach it to our youth, the leaders of tomorrow?

Why.., were I to dig deep enough into my memory-banks, I do believe the Immortal Karl Marx Himself, also made note, albeit brief, on Economic rent, somewhere in his Manifesto? But I didn't say that!

What WOULD the next leader of the Liberal Opposition, Mr PRO-LAND-RENT Malcolm Turnbull say?

HmmMMMMmmm...?

It might be very interesting to get the opinions and views of our government school teachers on this, don't you think?

Hello...? Miss Gillard....? Miss Gillard?? Hello...?
