To Read or Not to Read

"Give a human a fish and they'll eat for a day, 

Teach a human to fish and they'll eat for a life time."

"The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." 

"Ignorance is the route of all fear." 

These are a few of an endless list of sayings or proverbs that have been said over the centuries about the importance of education and knowledge to our existence and progress. Not since the dark ages, where book burning was common place and the Greek philosophical schools were shut down, has there such an attack on the education of our youth and ourselves. With our libraries being shut down by government cuts and book shops closing it is a sad time we live in.

The comparison to Melbourne, Australia to England and my home town could not be greater. Book shops are on virtually every street, in every town and surf town from Melbourne city to Apollo bay down the great Ocean Road.

Dymocks, a major book retailer in Australia.

There are more books and book shops than there are pubs in Ireland, so I am told.

When did it become cool to not know stuff? I know a little bit about some stuff but there is a hell of a lot I do not know about a whole lot more. As I grow older I think about the space-time I spent in my youth doing things other than reading and learning, it is never cool to not know things or be ignorant to things however innocent. 

I do not dwell on this for too long however because life is all about the moments of now and right now I am making the most of my space-time and reading whatever I can.

One of many in Melbourne City.

With my new found enthusiasm for reading over the last six years I have managed to build up quite a library. At the rate I am going at (and the rate of library and book store closures in town) I may find a gap in the market to make a killing, if I believed in money. The picture above of a town that had one bookstore and now none should be one that shocks and saddens us all. I wish I could say that the reason for the closure was due to the rise of the eBook readers such as Kindle or the iPad but I just do not see it. 

All I tend to see on an iPad is the latest seasonal update for Angry Birds and Sky Sports News updates.

The breadth and depth of the book stores in Melbourne and Victoria in general is astonishing, you could (and I almost did) spend entire days walking from one shop to another and you could spend another day in each of them wandering around the aisles in amazement at their selection. Back home you would have an half hour drive for a shop filled with books like the latest Karen Slaughter novel or the latest Jeremy Clarkson effort. Why anyone would want to continue to read books by an over weight, balding, middle aged bigot who talks like a Tory is beyond me.

Books with a history and a story, you never know
what you might find inside.

Some people may try to argue (and maybe well) that the book is out dated and this is why there is a decline in book shops, that for the majority of the population that does still read, a book is not as feasible in the rat race life styles that we have let ourselves become a victim of. The invention of the iPad and the eReader, I hear some of you scream, has revolutionised the way we read books; all in one spot, no storage issues and are a joy to take on a trip however far or short because it is all in one place. 

Yes and no I would say. 

You still have storage issues (depending on the device and its uses) then there is the issue of battery life (again more pressing depending on your device) and then there is the affect that these devices have on the planet.

"But what about books and the trees!" I hear you scream? 

Well yes at the moment books are made from trees, yes some books are made from recycled paper but that is not great either. One book was famously written on plastic, it was called 'Cradle to Cradle' by McDonough and Braungart, which is a fine read and one I recommend, and is about redesigning the way we make things in the biosphere and the techno sphere. Again plastic is not the answer but it was to highlight the fact that it could be done and that just because we currently produce books on paper, that is not the be all and end all to it. 

Another company has found a way to print a book that can have the ink washed off it and be re-printed.

Now the eReader, for those of you still scowling at me for wanting to save the humans and the planet but advocating buying books, what is an eReader made from? I will not ask you how it works because there aren't that many of us out there that do know, but it is made from oil and there are wars being fought over that whilst you read this. Powered by oil, recharged by oil, built not to last and will be out of date within six months of purchase thus forcing you into the cyclical consumption cycle the corporations feed on. It is easy to think that the eReader is a better bet for going green than reading a book but then it is all relative. If you go to a charity store or second hand book shop that has a ton of books to choose from, is it more or less friendly to the planet and our health than either a new book or a Kindle, iPad or some other device? Do not forget your local library either, it was once said "why buy a book when you could join a library?" You had better do so before your council shuts yours down.

Think about the second hand book store for an earth minute, there are literally millions of books out there being sold and read as we speak, a lot of the time these books end up in a charity store or second hand store at a fraction of the price and (here is the best part) each of those books has a history, a story. From time to time they have messages inside them from a far away land, or a ticket stub for some event...there's a mystery behind them. Then there is the smell, the smell of a good book filled with knowledge takes some beating and all the while you are broadening your horizons and potential.

You have to ask the questions for yourself and ask if what you are being told about with regards to how green something is, is factually correct? 

So go on switch off the X-Factor and get yourself down to your nearest bookstore (second hand or otherwise) or support your local library and read! Read everything you can on as many subjects as you may be interested in, just remember to leave some for me.

P-P-Penguin Fiasco

If you have a cool $400 spare you can sit in a fish tank with
a shark...

Leaving England in a foot of snow for the sunny climes of Melbourne Australia, I walked around the city centre on my first two days, kicking my heels and with a certain smugness as the bitter chill engulfing Europe went from "worse to bad". Melbourne is a city of true culture, unlike some of the amateur efforts around the UK at present, with back street coffee shops selling the highest calibre of conflict coffee available and a range of gluten free options I've not seen since Berlin.

There is so much to do. The MCG, Rod Laver Stadium, Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Moonlight Cinema, the aquarium..... The aquarium.

Aquariums for me are like the zoo. An abomination. A place where animals are herded for our entertainment for no need. Anyone who has seen a BBC production such as Blue Planet, Frozen Planet, Life or Planet Earth will I am sure be disappointed at seeing a wolf pack or penguin colony stuck in a pen, with nothing but the smell of freedom on their horizon. So it was with the aquarium this time, the first time I have been to one since a school visit in Southend back in the late '90s. As you approach, the signs describe how vast their marina is, in this case some two million litres.

Two million litres does not go far.

When entering through the ticket office you are greeted by everyone's favourite, the penguin. Maybe 40 penguins, 3 different species, in a 10x3 metre pen with a pool a few thousand litres in total for them to swim in. Admittedly there was some ice for them to stand on, which is a bonus compared to my local zoo back home, but ultimately T.I.A, this is Australia. What are penguins doing in Australia?

Due south, 9+1 minutes that way.

Some of them looked truly depressed. One poor little guy was stood staring at a wall illustration of Antarctica. The information provided informed you how far away these creatures are from home.

You do not have to be a Doctor Dolittle to work out he was not amused.

As we walked around their prison my partner made the mistake of putting her hand too close to the glass. A penguin came over and tried biting at it, she was holding a leaflet. When she put her hand against the glass without one the penguin was not interested, if she tried again with a leaflet the penguin would again try to bite at the glass. A sad indication of the learned behaviour of this beautiful animal. Pavlov's dogs would be proud.

We moved away somewhat disgusted at this learned behaviour and it appeared to some of those around us that this had become a game. Numerous tourists went up to the glass and took it in turns to tease the penguin with benign papers. Their game was however cut short for a far worse show. Feeding time.

Some of the penguins came marching down eager for a big feed as the keepers came out with buckets of mercury filled dead fish. A few however were not interested, not one bit. The keepers embarked on a round of force feeding on some of the less interested penguins, namely the few wistfully staring at the image of the Antarctic, who tossed and turned their heads trying to avoid fish after fish.  I overheard one eager viewer explain to her child that the penguins were being fed... again.
The brochure advises two Earth hours for the full experience so was it possible they were being fed again just to amuse our younglins? Either way, the penguins were not interested and it seemed as though the most depressed one took a fish just in the hope that his oppressor would go away.

Force fed

The aquarium carried on in a similar vein throughout, with sedated sharks in fish bowls floating around in circles. The highlight of the experience happened to be an ice core in the arctic show room with markings on it depicting evidence of nuclear testing in it from the 1960's onwards, but that is another story.

Once we left the the aquarium a conflict coffee was in order to settle the nerves. There was of course an alterior motive for heading to the aquariums I have vowed to boycott, especially since watching The Cove. I had been previously been made aware of a spectacular penguin viewing experience in the wild on the coast of Philip Island in Victoria, a drive of 90 earth minutes from the aquarium.

Why would you keep penguins in a pen when you can have penguins in the wild everyday for free...?

Only it was not free.

My guide for the day was a woman who had been in the past, in the last 10 years. She told me wonderful stories of how the penguins stream onto the beach from the sea in their hundreds to shed feathers etc and how they would waddle right past you. I charged the camera, filled the 4x4 up and headed off chasing the sunset towards the coast.
On our arrival we noticed a sign on the way up to the building, some worrying signs were already afoot as my guide informed me the car parks were all new and the huge building we were about to enter was new too. I am pretty sure you could still smell the paint thinners.
A large sign was crowded by a group of people, one of them turned and shouted to her family that there were to be no pictures taken once the other side of the building. I stopped in my tracks, kitted up like a member of the film crew from BBC Life I suddenly felt the con was on.

As the mist started to descend I made comment to the people huddling around the sign like king penguins that the only pictures they would be getting tonight, were government approved pictures. As with all things in life today some CEO somewhere had seen a chance to make a quick dollar and has taken something that used to be free and accessible to all and slapped a monetary ball and chain around it.
Huge banners explain the pricing $22 for general admission, $42 for penguin plus. Penguin plus what? They are coming out of the sea, onto a beach and having a waddle, what else were these penguins going to do? Between the ban on pictures and the penguin plus I elected to go with the cattle and sit in general admission.

The saying used to be 'please exit through the gift shop' in the la la land of the penguin barons though it is 'please enter and exit through the gift shop'. Scandalous, $4.50 for a tiny coffee, $5 for an mp4 player to give you a running commentary and more merchandise and souvenirs than I have seen. In fact Bernie Ecclestone would have been proud of the almost grand-prix weekend nature of the operation. We exited the back of the premises and watched as penguin plus were ferried on golf cart up the hill and away from the rest of us.

The masses await their show. Note the floodlights

When we got to the steps we sat down and some actor, sorry ranger, came out with a microphone on a hugely lit area and gave us some talk about how the penguins hated noise and were waiting for the sky to get dark so they could safely traverse the beach...and how they hate cameras. No photos, filming, phones etc etc. Media blackout. Everyone was gutted but it is OK, you can buy photos from the gift shop.
As if the clown in the brown was not clear enough, the voice from above echoed the same tune over an even bigger P.A system. They also warned of the dangers of being near wild animals as they "can and will bite". It had been a few years since my guides previous visit but I was assured the few times they had been the penguins would just waddle right past you and not even give you a moments notice.

After a few minutes a penguin came out of the sea, the excitement of the people was palpable, he gave them a show by playing around and then disappeared up into the dunes. A few more minutes passed and a couple more. Not exactly the hundreds I had been imagining.
In all the biggest group I counted was of about 13, I think we saw 30, maybe 40 penguins in total. Between the noise being made by the clowns in brown and the huge floodlights illuminating the beach I am not sure whether I would have climbed out of the sea either. My guide was bitterly disappointed as previously they had seen hundreds of penguins streaming across the beach.

We waited until the very last knocking, an hour sat on a concrete step in the bitter sea wind for 30ish penguins was not how I expected my week to end. Eventually one of the clowns in brown asked us to leave. Before doing so however I was sure I heard him say to another couple, that had waited as long as us, that the penguins mostly head round to penguin plus...the red mist began to descend again. So as he approached me I asked him what penguin plus was about, he just tried to fob me off by saying it was a smaller, more intimate area. When pushed as to whether or not this is where the majority of the penguins really come to the beach he sensed my bitterness and said "erm...sometimes, it depends" and then tried to diffuse me by urging me to head to the walkway where I would be sure to some more.

He was not wrong.

There were hundreds of penguins, groups of a bakers dozen or more, running around, laying down and clowning around. This only served though to compound the disappointment of the experience as a whole. My guide said it was very sad to see the commercialisation of these creatures in the few years since their last visit. The whole experience was a let down. The penguins returning to Australia is one of natures great sights but the chase for a few dollars more has turned one of natures spectacular free events into a little goldmine and with it the loss of the little bit of magic that went with it.

The Obama Deception

I must have felt a disturbance in the force because it is 4am and I am up and staring at a screen almost over come with emotion at the herd of sheep blindly applauding a man that has brought more war, death and destruction to this planet than his predecessor and deceived just about every human on the planet the last four years. I of course am talking about the actor in charge of America, allegedly, Barack Obama.

Where does one start.

His State of the Union address was quite possibly one of the most uncomfortable experiences I have had since one of his pre-election speeches back in 2007 where he claimed he would finish the fight with the Taliban, close Guantanamo Bay and restore Habeas Corpus. The last time I checked the so called war on terror was still being fought, Guantanamo Bay is still open for business and Habeas Corpus had just about been torn up for toilet paper on New Years Eve 2011 with the signing of the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) which he claimed was "unconstitutional" and "un-American" yet still signed.


"For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq. For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country. Most of al Qaeda's top lieutenants have been defeated. The Taliban's momentum has been broken, and some troops in Afghanistan have begun to come home"


This does not take into account the numerous private security personnel still operating out there for big private defence contractors such as Academi, formerly Blackwater and is only of course so he can redeploy them in time for the up coming war with iRan. If you doubt this then ask yourself what happened to Gaddafi when he looked at trading oil for gold?


Obama swiftly returned to a more local issue when he started to talk through his vision for the future of America's economy, a well scripted effort where he tried to paint the image of a recovering economy. 


"The state of our Union is getting stronger. And we've come too far to turn back now. As long as I'm President, I will work with anyone in this chamber to build on this momentum"


Unless of course you have had your head in the sand or been on holiday to the dark side of the moon you will know this is a lie. Especially the day after the IMF warned we face a 1930's moment. By this I just assumed they meant depression and a world war?
On the subject of 'economy' as they put it, there are a few things I would like to try and clarify for myself. Firstly it was my understanding that during the 1980's, a vintage time, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher smashed unions, as the labour workforce was seen as an obstacle to the capitalist model and also industry? Work was outsourced to Asia (check the back of your iPhone) and presumably check the model of your vehicle, Toyota? Honda? This access to the world labour markets drove down production costs and simultaneously increased unemployment and prices at the till? The auto industry in America and the UK was in ruins. Strange then to see that in last nights address Obama managed to utter the words; "Tonight, the American auto industry is back."


He then went on to say;


"My message is simple. It's time to stop rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas, and start rewarding companies that create jobs right here in America. Send me these tax reforms, and I'll sign them right away."


Obviously it has dawned on someone that if your people have no purchasing power then your economy as they see it is doomed. Another way around this would be to employ two people for every job and maintain the wage but that is a dream, surely?
Never one to leave the Chinese alone for too long he then seemed to single out the Chinese particularly for piracy and imitation of products;


"Tonight, I'm announcing the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit that will be charged with investigating unfair trade practises in countries like China.

It's not right when another country lets our movies, music, and software be pirated. It's not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they're heavily subsidised."

The process of satellite production companies in factories based in China is common place but then what do you expect if you pay children a dollar a day to make your Air Jordans? I would say Obama has bigger problems with China than whether they have fake Apple stores popping up, like their gold for oil trade with iRan as mentioned earlier. This is something the American economy cannot abide with the dollar currently hooked up to a defibrillator awaiting its next cardiac arrest.

"Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in eight years. That's right, eight years. Not only that – last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years.


Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal. But a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible, and far better, and if Iran changes course and meets its obligations, it can rejoin the community of nations. Our iron-clad commitment to Israel's security has meant the closest military cooperation between our two countries in history."


Right here we have the crux of the upcoming conflict with iRan
The sound of the battle drums beating over iRan and its nuclear threat are a thinly veiled cover for the real reason for aggression towards them, their oil and America's unwavering allegiance to a state perpetrating the very sort of genocide that they have become infamous for, following their treatment at the hands of the Nazi's. It is for this very reason that the people of Israel should rise up against the principles their leaders are trying to justify against a people not so dissimilar to themselves.


The actor supposedly in charge proceeded to enlighten us on the mechanism and philosophy of democracy regarding the two party nation finding common ground, he even managed to sneak a quote in from Abraham Lincoln, trying to convince people of the worth of your vote... Like George Carlin said if you vote, you legitimise what they do to you.

"We need to end the notion that the two parties must be locked in a perpetual campaign of mutual destruction; that politics is about clinging to rigid ideologies instead of building consensus around common sense ideas.

I'm a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more."


The closing stages of his speech were quite remarkable, the American military efforts in the Middle East were used as metaphor for some kind of great notion of people casting aside differences, to come together as one with common goals. Championing the Seal Team that allegedly killed Osama Bin Laden and comparing their mission to the hands that built America left a bitter taste in the mouth. 


"When you put on that uniform, it doesn't matter if you're black or white, Asian or Latino, conservative or liberal, rich or poor, gay or straight. When you're marching into battle, you look out for the person next to you, or the mission fails.
One of my proudest possessions is the flag that the Seal Team took with them on the mission to get Bin Laden. On it are each of their names. Some may be Democrats. Some may be Republicans. But that doesn't matter. Just like it didn't matter that day in the Situation Room, when I sat next to Bob Gates – a man who was George Bush's defence secretary; and Hillary Clinton, a woman who ran against me for president.

All that mattered that day was the mission. No one thought about politics. No one thought about themselves.... More than that, the mission only succeeded because every member of that unit trusted each other – because you can't charge up those stairs, into darkness and danger, unless you know that there's someone behind you, watching your back.

"So it is with America. Each time I look at that flag, I'm reminded that our destiny is stitched together like those fifty stars and those thirteen stripes. No one built this country on their own. This Nation is great because we built it together. This Nation is great because we worked as a team. This Nation is great because we get each others backs. And if we hold fast to that truth, in this moment of trial, there is no challenge too great; no mission too hard. As long as we're joined in common purpose, as long as we maintain our common resolve, our journey moves forward, our future is hopeful, and the state of our Union will always be strong.

Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America."

The 'death' of Osama Bin Laden single handily saved Obama's political career and last night he used it to launch his bid to remain in the White House to oversee another four years. Four more years of lies. Four more years of war. Four more years of death. Four more years of your liberties being signed away to secure greater 'freedoms'.

Message To a Banking Terrorist

On November 39th 2011 I addressed a couple thousand people in the town square on the UK National Day of Action. This is what I said;

They say if you are not angry then you are not paying attention.

From St Paul's Cathedral where I have stayed off duty to today the people are expressing their anger.

We are facing an attack to our living conditions unprecedented in recent history where faceless banking terrorists have played roulette with our futures with a currency system designed to fail and enslaving us through debt.

Let us be blunt, the banks (bailed out by us) the government and the Bank of England have conspired to rob every working member of the public in broad daylight. It matters not whether you work in the private sector or the public sector, we the people are all suffering together. From the petrol pumps to the grocery stores we are all struggling.

We must not let them divide us for our strength is in our unity.

Public sector pension reform is a stealth tax. The increases in contributions do not go into the pension system, they head straight into the treasury to help pay off the deficit. Increases in the rate of inflation are robbing us all on a daily basis.

A pound is not what it used to be.

Strike is a last resort, as I explained to my Chief one Christmas, the right for a worker to withdraw their labour is their last straw, the last throw of the dice against oppressive working regimes and government.

We are our labour.

We are all fiercely proud of doing our jobs so to be stood here today shows a failure on the governments part, past and present, to serve the people that elect them.

Negotiations have gone on for months but no movement occurred until today, our day of action, was called. The FBU did not ballot for industrial action but we are under no illusion that it is not another government tactic to further split and divide us which is why we are here today showing our support to you all.

I would like to clarify that I am not in the firefighter pension scheme, new or old, because I do not believe the lies our government reel out on a daily basis on their future. The new firefighters pension scheme is less than six years old and already they are going back on their word. What hope then that they would honour any up coming agreements thirty-five years from now?

But I still fight for the futures of others. Our lives are our legacy.

The children of today are the adults and future of tomorrow and I refuse to remain silent and watch our future generations hopes and dreams be shattered by this or any other government. Do not be fooled by Labour lies either. They have never said "NO" to cuts, just that they have been "too deep, too fast". 

This is unacceptable and even on the morning of the day of action Ed Balls reiterated this motto on the BBC.

We all deserve better.

I recently attended a meeting at parliament with MP's from Bedfordshire and explained to them exactly these points. they called me irrational for leaving the pension, they called me perverse.

Fine insults for them to make whilst earning more than twice a firefighters wage and sitting on, as I highlighted, a gold plated pension that would be safe in the long run.

Much of the mainstream news would have us believe that the majority of the public do not support the public sector or that public sector pensions are unsustainable.

This is untrue and factually incorrect.

The government have the money to fund unjust wars but not our hospitals, schools emergency services and their staff? I do not believe it.

Do not believe the hype.

It was once said "make the lie big, make it simple, keep repeating it and eventually they will believe it" How indoctrinated do we have to be to continue to believe their lies?

So the emphasis lies with us all to better inform and educate those around us that believe the lies the Rupert Murdoch news repeaters or the Daily 'hate' Mail tell them EVERY day.

Do not get e wrong, I agree that private sector pensions are terrible but that does not mean we should allow public sector pensions to be destroyed, we should be fighting to make all pensions better so that we can all prosper and not let these banking terrorists continue to profit from our labour.

We must not let them divide us, our strength is our unity.

An example of this divide and conquer culture engulfing our society during this recession was made apparent to me last night as one of my friends told me she disagreed with these strikes, particularly the teachers, because it was costing her a days wage to stay at home and look after her children.

I say shame on her employers.

Any employer docking an employees pay today for reasons such as this should be ashamed of themselves.

Shame on her employers for punishing a single mother whilst her children's teachers fight for;

their rights, your rights and our children's futures.

She has since focused her her feelings of discontent on the people responsible. The government and the banking terrorists.

Remember, our unity is our strength.

Ultimately it boils down to a choice...we can continue to participate in the lies they have created for us r we can begin to create our own reality.

Our time is now.

Chaplain Had it Right 70 Years Ago

Dejavusion Productions and Lucas Media present to you The Great Dictator, Free men

The Great Dictator was a movie made in 1940, starring Charlie Chaplain, and a parody of Nazi Germany, a state that bears chilling resemblance to America and the UK today.
The speech, now 70 years old, resonates powerfully with the topics of today and shows how nothing has changed other than the face of fascism today. Then it was Hitler, today we have Obama, Cameron and the other actors involved.

"When you dangle a carrot it is called capitalism, when you use the stick it is called fascism" - and there has been plenty of that in recent months both sides of the Atlantic.

Ask.
More.
Questions.

Madness, of a Lost Society?

Dejavusion Productions and Lucas Media are proud to present to you 'Life' a short video inspired by a video blog from Freelee, taking inspiration from George Carlin and the movie American Beauty.

Enjoy, share.

Social Conditioning Box

Television, the source of information for us all for so long, has led to a culture of indoctrination unprecedented at any time in our history. The ability for marketing firms, employed by government, to promote a party line or drum up support through adverts, entertainment shows and news programs for unjust wars and the acceptance of the removal of our human rights is quite frankly disturbing.

Between David Cameron, Barack Obama and their guide dogs Theresa May and Hilary Clinton, human rights have taken a severe shake up. The signing of the recent National Defence Authorisation Act 2012 by Barack Obama (on New Years eve whilst everyone else was out getting drunk) was the latest in a line of acts signed by our so called leaders that have watered down our liberty. These acts include the UK's Terrorism Prevention and Investigatory Measures (TPims) and of course the USA Patriot Act 2001.

Having read through them they make for unsettling reading, which is more than can be said for congress or parliament who probably read the cover and proceeded to nod it through like a CFA meeting.

Never at any time has it been more important to ask more questions. Unfortunately for us all, this has not been the case.

The shame of it all is that the majority passively accept what they are told because we are all too easily distracted. Entertainment shows, so called 'reality' shows and soap operas dominate the airwaves and if they do not get you here then they immerse you in sport 24/7. They underpin this 360˚ distraction television by constantly bombarding us with news streams depicting images of terror designed to keep us in a constant state of fear. Of course once they have sown the seed of fear and terror they then proceed to show us 'heroic' images of our soldiers after being half blown to kingdom come and encourage us all to pay for their rehabilitation and after care.
The government sent them to die, the government should then honour their duty to care for them once they have been injured or maimed and provide for their families if they do not make it home.

There is a reason why I call it the social conditioning box.

Through the power of the media they demonise immigrants and asylum seekers (formerly known as refugees) blaming them for unemployment, increases in crime and a stuttering economy, whilst brushing under the carpet the true reasons for this-the disproportionate standard of living between those that have and those that do not. You cannot have continuous growth in a system that is good for a few and terrible for the rest. It is designed to fail.
The danger lies in the fact that the daily lies they sell us encourage us to ask for the sanctions they  impose on our liberties just because we did not truly understand what is was we were asking for.


The needs of the many out way the needs of the few and until this is understood by all we will fail to achieve any kind of security, safety or peace, today or tomorrow. Homeland security extends beyond the falsely created borders we have created for ourselves for the entire planet is our home.
To this end we must stop letting the ruling class divide us through language, racism does not exist other than for government to sell wars and hatred to us. We are one human race.
Until this dawning comes to us all we shall all have to make do with the signing away of our liberties and watch them die out to the sound of thunderous applause.
