Isn’t it wonderful how all the evils exposed by Wikileaks fail to attract any political attention in their chorus of condemnation and even hardly any media attention? The story is the vendetta against Assange. The story(ies) should be on the facts revealed by the leaked files.
But maybe we’re numb. Or maybe there’s a hidden volcano going to explode one day. I really don’t know.
I know there’s enough happened and happening that we could well be numb. The World’s leaders have shown that they don’t/can’t lead – with nations everywhere bankrupt – and that they’re conscienceless about it – with the same money managers, the same advisers, the same policies and structures in place everywhere and billions – yes, billions – being paid out in bonuses to those people who nearly destroyed us all.
And it turns out we can’t rely on the scientists because the global warming thing remains unproven as a question of caused by humanity and rectifiable by humanity at least to some extent. Nothing clear about that at all.
Then the forcible implementation of carbon tax methods are clearly going to cost us all – ‘us’, not ‘them’.
Then it is clear finally, as stated in passing on Radio National ‘Australia Talks’ today, I think, that costs of living, costs of housing and so on are larger than they’ve ever been…. both in absolute terms and as percentage of income..
while Australians are doing more work than ever before…
So where’s all our riches going? Why aren’t we wealthier?
Obviously it is being siphoned off somewhere. ‘We’ aren’t getting it, ‘they’ are.
And the power of the authorities multiplies exponentially ever since 911 – abrogation of human rights, imposition of imprisonment without trial, condoning of tortures… on and on…
Our Prime Minister demonstrates her own nature beautifully by condemning out of hand Mr Assange and pronouncing a desire to impose on him an illegal punishment for his supposed transgression – which later turned out to be no transgression at all.
The nation has never had it so good – even if the workers are on a downslope – because we’re selling off the minerals harder and faster than ever before. In fact it is nearly all sold off. That’ll have to stop soon because it will be all done. What then, one wonders? If the people don’t enjoy any benefits now when the cash is rolling in but instead experience falling standards, then what’s going to happen when the cash stops rolling in?
Somebody please say something good, tell us about a good thing somewhere, something excellent, marvellous, wonderfu, beautiful, uplifting, hopeful……
Because everything else looks like crap……..
Yuk. Sorry.
