An example is, the Howard government is currently using 120 million dollars this year on advertising. There are ten million taxpayers in Australia, so that is the equivalent of each taxpayer paying $12 to be advertised at this year. No thank you.
The government are thieves.
The government lies to us about what it will do when in office, why we should support its actions, what it is spending our money on, and that its policies will benefit us. Practically everything that comes out of their mouths is a half-lie, leaves out the whole truth, or is a complete fabrication.
Do we vote in the best party or the best liar? If the Liberals told the truth about each of their policies, nobody would vote for it.
If they said, “we want to support the US no matter what it does because we are supported by big companies which will benefit from closer economic ties with it. The US is also controlled by big companies because like us, they get political donations, or bribes, as you would call it, and you could say that the rich own us both. We want to invade Iraq because they have no notable weapons which will make them an easy target. They are such an easy target that we can announce for months beforehand that we want to invade them, and we know they won’t be able to respond by organising an army or weapons, because they hardly have any. We have been starving them for ten years waiting for this opportunity to strike when they are weakest. We want to own the whole world. We believe everyone that cannot be brainwashed with propaganda can simply be destroyed by force. We want to see the whole world as a free market. By free, we mean that we will be free to do what we like and nobody can stop us. We want money to be the sole criteria that determines a person’s power. We opposed ideologies such as Communism and Religious fundmentalism not because we oppose human rights abuses. We are in favour of human rights abuses, as you should be able to see from our quiet support through funding dictators and terrorists. We oppose these ideologies because they work on a system where wealth does not guarantee power, and they are unpredictable. Democracy is simply the easiest system to buy out. Right now, the public believe in capitalism, because we work hard to make sure no alternative exists. We work hard against attitudes that claim anything other than that an environment where the free accumulation of money is the mark of the highest standard of civilisation. We are in favour of standards of education because we can control education in this way, and make sure everyone learns what we want them to learn. We don’t want any unpredictable elements. You know it’s not us speaking. We’re just puppets for the mega-rich.” Nobody would vote for it.
I have no idea why democracy is the easiest system to buy out. I want to investigate this…
Governments that conduct invasions that result in death are murdrers. Murderers should not be allowed to walk free. Even if it is too late to do anything, even when the murderer is already dead, it matters that the truth is told.
We cannot allow any murders, let alone murders conducted in our name with our money which we made no effort to resist handing over. We are already involved, and we cannot dismiss it as politics, or as events on the other side of the world.
