Who’s God  causes the Divide.

As one of the 35% of Australians who do not wear the Guernsey of any religion I sit in total wonderment of Hanson’s stunt in the senate. What brings a person to a conclusion that their God, their belief, is better than someone else’s and then go on to degrade it.

I was taught in my early years, the value of tolerance and understanding spoken by all faiths but as my years increase that value decreased as the religions battled for customers. The divisions grew as amalgamations took place to eliminate the non profitable branches as did the extremists within.

The statistics reveal there is 8% of other religions outside Christianity and Atheists in Australia, representing a host of beliefs from all over our world, each contributing to our culture, a number exceeded by a single sporting code, so why we have to ask does someone seek to profit from promoting fear and hate?

This disgusting trend is World wide, dividing society to Right and Left, led by religious fanatics with their God on their side, and I live in hope someone will rise above it all and put world humanity as a vision under no Guernsey, if not our kids will never know what a balanced view is, and as we know our kids are born innocent and are taught discrimination.

Maybe it’s time we spend the time to listen to John Lennon’s Imagine…. 

When will America Stand Up Australians ask? 

Remember Today, it’s a Elvis, John Lennon, JFK, moment.I woke up to hear the President of the United States, the leader of the free world give the Nazi’s a free pass, justification for demanding white America .

I’m bloody Australian,my roots are from all over the world, I grew up post WW2 in Australia, I learnt from a history book of experience working in a shipyard at 15 with immigrants from all over the world living about a mile from the shipyard at Yungabar hostel, their first landing place in our country.

I learnt from the victims of Hitler directly. I saw the hope of a new life, something I took as granted and often shared that hope with them when they left the yard and took up jobs and professions they had done before invasion.

So when I see groups anywhere in the world mimicking the Nazi movement I cringe,even more when I see a world leader treating them as equal to any dissenting group, justifying their actions. 

Trump owes them and other extreme groups for his election and after today is quite clear they called in the debt, and Trump responded in his true colours.

Any we can waffle on with our opinions from a far land but it’s up to Americans to get off their arses and get rid of him or he will drive their country into another Civil War as after today he has justified rasism, bigotry, murder, street violence as a 2way street. 

They call him Mr President. That title should be withdrawn by the media and the people as respect for those who have gone before. 

But do they have the guts to do it or will the procrastination continue?

Someone has to stand up America, is that person you?

The world awaits. 

America’s Train Crash in Progress. 

I’m not American. Probably I should thank someone other than God because I would be hypocritical. In any case we, the rest of the world are watching a America slowly slipping into a self inflicted coma of society decay. 

They said when Trump was elected it was a rebellion against the establishment. 

As time goes on we seeing the social fabric not the establishment being dismantled. 

What’s right, what’s wrong does not seem to matter, it’s the end justifying the means, the business outcome, money, White America first then comes selective vetting of the rest of the population based on social status.

People who have suppressed racial hate have now been encouraged by Trump Talk to act in the name of Nationalism to attack anything that does not meet their criteria of who is really American. 

History reminds us this was the way the Nazi regime commenced with segregation followed by purification of what it was to be German. They had a leader that controlled the media, wrote his own media (properganda), denouncing any people with views outside government as traitors or enemy of the state. 

His followers fanatical, his inner circle hand picked, ruled by a iron fist with the threat of death if they strayed their thinking. 

I cannot help drawing comparisons if you look at Hitler structure to the way Trump is slowly expanding the American social split where if your not right wing or extreme right wing your a socialist which then is regarded as a enemy of the state.

History records Rome went from the world centre to a burning hulk, not overnight but just kept burning internally until it fell. The fire was accelerated when the Trump was elected, and now the world is witnessing the inevitable train crash. 

I hope my country is not on that train. 

Time for our Politicians to Grow Some Balls in Australia.

Isn’t it time we the punters took control of this Gay Marriage fiasco and directed out politicians to do their job?We have two nutters running around playing one upmanship threatening the world with nuclear war, the gap between rich and poor widening and whatever, while this rot about plebiscite/Snail Mail continues to bore us to tears. 

Facts are the Senate will reject the plebiscite, the non compulsory mail out with the non compulsory obligation of parliament to comply with the results, all costing us millions of dollars. The logic just does not stack up. 

Who are we protecting here, who is scared to say I was either in favour or against Gay Marriage? 

One guess. Politician. This is not a party political issue. Our politicians should make a decision as they are paid to do and if we don’t like it we will vote accordingly to each and everyone’s opinion come polling day. That’s our system, and they are the rules when they choose politics as their career. 

And for those who say it was a election promise, I would remind them of promise of no cuts to the ABC was unequivocal, locked in, yet that was conveniently forgotten.

Ducks and Jelly Backs

Not often all the ducks line up in politics but the Gay marriage timeline has certainly got them running, but we’re not sure who are the getting behind.Pyne’s leaked opinion has sent them all into their respective camps reigniting the factional and ideological factions differences among the Coalition. In fairness some of the Labor and minor parties share same views, but the overall majority agree we should take the step to legalise and put it behind us. 

The logic we are expected to swallow is a referendum which in fact will take on a election campaign status funded by us the taxpayer and then supported by the opponents costing the nation millions of dollars which will only magnify the opinion divide over months yet not change the outcome, or we can let our parliament do its job and vote non partisan. 

This government can send our nation and our kids to war on a minutes notice without a referendum yet they Bork at a decision that effects two people marrying. 

Media quotes memorable timelines like Howard Gun Control decision, Rudd’s Sorry, but I’m afraid if this is not sorted it will go down as Jelly Back moment for this PM 

Take the Stakeholders Out of the Domestic Violence Debate.

They say politics and religion are taboo if you want to keep your friends. Well hears a test… 

Domestic violence is a issue politicians and the religions have used to promote their causes on who is getting the moral high ground on fixing the problem.

We see pictures and articles of victims being abused from all over the world and comparisons drawn in our media and politicians on what religion they are and what culture they are and how lucky we are that we are good Christians neglecting to report that We, Australia, have possibly the one of highest domestic violence incidents per capita in the world with some Christian cultures promoting male dominance within the family unit. That goes under the carpet conveniently. 

We are consistently told we are a (Christian Nation). In actual facts are 61 % are of the Christian Faith in Australia, 31% either Atheist or No Religious which leaves the other 8% to all the rest. Yes 8% split up across all the other religions in the world yet if you listen or watch the spiels from the stakeholders protecting their own special patch you would believe the hoards are at our door and theirs is the only one to follow to get you wherever or whatever.

The point I am trying to make is if we continue to listen to the politicians and the churches spiel we will alway be divided on the issue of fixing domestic violence not only in Australia but world wide. 

We need a body of people not encumbered with beliefs or politics fully funded, and I do have some ideas that would be extremely controversial to go about funding that, but that’s another issue, to address domestic violence, with the assistance of our state and federal police as part of every police station in the nation, not just a part time or when needed position but full time. 

The cost of DV in dollar terms and mental health is incalculable considering the damage it does from cradle to cript to any population, so it has to start somewhere and soon as we are loosing the battle right now, ask any hospital worker or policeman. 

Change the Settings .

Victims of the religious orders of all creeds have suffered enough. The present Royal Commission has highlighted again failures of the religions to govern themselves and it’s time every day law be applied as it is to Joe Citizen.
It cannot be more evident that the business of religion has been protected at the expense of the victims so it’s it’s time the religious orders are reclassified to have PTY. LTD. included on all letterheads.
Regardless of each individual’s hierarchy position within their order their should be treated as any Managing Director and Board Members who defy corporate governance by neglecting health and welfare of its constituents, and damages, individual fines, and settlements awarded accordingly by Judges as in common law with the protection that victims be equally funded to put their case.
Prosecution has no borders or rank. Bring them home and put them before a judge.
At present the No Tax law exists and questions should be asked if that exception is being used correctly and staying in Australia or is it being used to grow the profitability for under cover Corporations overseas and should that privilege be withdrawn if the entity fails in its duty of care or is guilty of gross negligence or funding fraud.
Too many decent people have been conned, intimidated, damaged for life by criminals and then by yes men under instructions to protect the brand name at all costs.
It’s time to change the settings.

My Flag

I remember well when you were appointed as a flag monitor and were in charge of folding, carrying and unfurling and recovery of our nations prize possession on parade every morning at school. It was never allowed to touch the ground and treated with utmost respect and was a federal offence to in any way to desecrate our emblem.
Fast forward and today our people and politicians wrap themselves, dress themselves and even cover their faces and hide in a flag that our people gave up their lives for. It’s used as a weapon to divide our society not unite it, to profit by having it printed on your corn flake box or any retail item that seeks advantage by playing on nationalisms. 

Our National Emblem should be sacred as it was before the mighty dollar hijacked it.

We are not any other country other than Australia and if others choose to betray their Fallen for dollars that’s their call, but the words Respect, Honour, Achievement, should be only criteria for being individually honoured with the privilege of wearing our flag.

For those who need something to show your national passion wear a boxing kangaroo or whatever but…… 

My flag is not for sale thanks, is yours? 

Truth after Defrocking 

So our ex Prime Minister is in England telling his like minded Christians to close borders and turn back refugees.That’s a real Christian thing to do isn’t it?

Preserve the race he said, don’t let your culture be contaminated with foreigners, fine words from a good Catholic ex priest. 

Whatever way you look at it it has the Arian Hitler undertones, Or is it they do not want other religions on their patch or both. 

The right to seek asylum is becoming non existent, in fact it’s becoming a crime, supported by a brotherhood of frightened old men around the world clinging to power that will do and say anything to keep the population dumb enough and scared enough to retain their pay packets.

In Australia we are a country of immigrants. We committed genocide on our Aboriginals as did the Americans on their Indians, in a latter day Holocaust, something our forefathers we’re proud of. Yes we civilised the savages, but it was their home , we invaded, raped and pillaged as did the Romans and Vikings, but ours was in the name of God. Our God, not theirs, so that justifies the end result. 

But we feel threatened when we see people fleeing oppression wanting sanctuary. Have we been led up the garden path so much we are now so insecure in our own country, a land born on multiculturalism and not to allow that multiculturalism to flourish and evolve would be tragic.

If we have the old men have won. The old adages of divide and conquer, dumb them down, information is power, we will tell you only what you need to know, trust us we know more about… Be aware be scared, it’s the migrants fault.. All spin to keep the brotherhood in tact regardless of what side of centralised political spectrum is in power. 

In our case Abbott the ex PM run the case “stop the boats” stating he was providing to put the people smugglers out of business, but today the true case was to stop immigrants from our cultural contamination, which strangely while in power denied their was any racial undertones by only giving Christians minority’s visas.

Amazing how the truth appears when going abroad, without the spin doctors, but be aware we probably are witnessing the new career of Tony Abbott supported by Murdock on the Right Wing Nutters Circuit coming to a town near you. 

Which God SuitsYou?

Well today I responded to a newspaper asking if the bible thought should be withdrawn from publication?
My response was ” if the religion was prepared to pay for the publication then why not?” If it was free to Christians then it should be free to every other religion” . Fair I thought…..

Well, I’m not saying if Christianity is my God, or whatever but the Christians thought it was their “Right” as I was informed this is a Christian country..
Well it isn’t, nor is it a Islamic country or any other country, religious sects don’t own countries nor beliefs.
How often are we all put in the same basket without our permission or just assumed that their god is your god if you have one…
Personally religions have a lot to answer for… How many people have died in wars with their god on their side?? How many children molested or killed or mentally destroyed by the keepers of religions? The fire and brimstone terror if you don’t comply.. Not just Christianity, but many so called beliefs to save you from damnation..

Lets cut to the chase here, it all about gaining followers, then money building the biggest or controlling the biggest power brokers, governments to support their cause, or in some cases protect their interests. The biggest business in the world is religion, and convincing the masses is the control of minds. Once you have the mind you have the person, and all religions are guilty in degrees.
This is not taking away the good some do and their followers do. They do make differences in people’s lives and their are some who dedicate their lives to helping humanity and must be highly commended, and the negatives should never overcome the positives of what can be achieved by humans for other humans in the name of their god. That’s what we are “supposed”to do being the top of the chain, but some times what we do to each other I am often in despair, and I ask what John Lennon asked “what it be like without religion or borders, do you think we can”??

Probably not in my lifetime but hope up the road they could take control of our own destinies, with quality of life be the benchmark not the amount of money, power, that is used to control us.

Let It Be Just Imagine what we could do….

I know I’m dreaming again….
