Before I go down this road I wish to make it clear or all reader’s I am fiercely an Australian but Not A Patriot similar to the American race. I love my country but I don’t need to prove it to you by shoving a flag in your face, or screaming it sporting events or generally just being a boisterous dickhead dragging my flag, dressing in it, or generally using it as a profit item for any retailer, political party or company offshore or even onshore.
To me my flag is sacred and although I despise having to carry another national on my flag I live in hope we one day will be mature enough to tear ourselves away from our colonial past and put on our big boys pants and stand like a real Australian, void of outside symbolism.
However we in Australia have been conned, we have conned our children and continually conning not only our locals but migrants into thinking that 26 date is THE Day this Country was formed when a foreign flag was raised on our shores, not the day it was discovered and proceeded with varying facts conveniently disregarded to suit the colonial narrative then later the financially commercialisation of our population into believing the myths to suit a centenary 1988 celebrations.
My first question to those who were born post war was do you remember celebrating Australia Day in school? Never, it was Queens Birthday. But never Australia Day that started in 1994.. ( See Link Below and Note its Source)
So how many Australians died in the World Wars One and Two? Answer NONE. They died as British Subjects Not Australians.
See Link Below Re Australian Citizenship Act 1949.
Put that into perspective here and you can see why in both world wars Australian Soldiers were used as cannon fodder as claimed by many military analysts agreed by our enemies later, and covered up by the establishment.
Yes it’s a uncomfortable truth that joins the Frontier Wars and the genocide hidden from our history and embarrassing to the Establishment, the ones that uses a man, a Prime Minister Menzies who abandoned his country along with the American General took a ship to England when the Japanese were expected to invade our shores and he and the American forces were prepared to give up the top end of Australia and fight for the rest when they got to The Brisbane Line..
Taught in Schools? … No, but are you getting a long term trend emerging here?
We are / we’re expendable and as long as we tie ourselves to these traditions and nations we will remain in the servant class but it’s up to us to educate the truth and need to re-educate our post 1949 citizens and beyond the that truth.
Below an article from Radschool , an Air Force Magazine.
At a age of 74 I have been to a few rodeos in human behaviour and witnessed how we all deal with life, land, ethnic opinions, religion, politics and through football I have learnt to appreciate all views with respect.
That respect did come with some conditions as it had to be mutual and with ethical standards and if one stepped outside one would expect to be reminded of the alleged infringement.
Common human interactions one would think, and honesty how blunt or flowered it was delivered, not always accepted., but delivered.
Been involved in politics and a Party member for 40 years, run for public office and failed, twice, and through all that one would / should accept different opinions provided they stacked up with the common goal of bettering our society and not detrimental to our country
That said, one of my countries major ally the USA is loosing its status as a reliable, and through it own actions seems to bent on self destruction, but sadly they cannot see the pending crash, as they could not see the red flags on the Global Financial Crisis, Vietnam, Pearl Harbour, to name a few.
Stability is the key to world peace and when a nation is unstable its enemies will exploit that instability, but I cannot expect the average Joe in America to see that as they have been kept dumbed down deliberately where only 47% are literate and that literacy comparrison of a Grade 6 level in my country.
See below
Not their fault, planned right back to their forefathers 250 years ago, and no party has the political will to change that document as it suits their agendas constructed around that premise that accumulated money is the only gauge of success and is guarded ruthlessly. The entitled will never relinquish that status and any challenge or suspected challenge is regarded as traitorous and unpatriotic, yet they peddle the “Great American Dream’ propaganda along with the endemic hate national government to the masses as part of the indoctrination process from birth, keeping the status quo on top of the heap.
That fanatical worshipping of the 250 year document opens the door to the actions of that time being dealt out in todays time, hence the misogyny and actions supported by the Christian Church disregarding the premise of separation of powers being a problem, exactly the policy dictators use to keep the masses under control, and combine that with the fragmentation of the law interpretations to government selected judges according to political beliefs, makes fair justice to all farcical and manipulative according to means.
Which brings me to violence, a subject all countries are fighting as we speak and will never really defeat but that does not make it acceptable, or part of life, or part of the political process. Wars are man made, created by the old men for securing of wealth and property, and when that violence mindset translates into the society outside of that war footing of a nation, and everything is military attuned in that society, including politics you are close to a style of government similar to all of the countries America hates or are scared of. When a nation indoctrinates its people to handing over their children to the military, controls the content in reading and learning material, legislate the flag and religion as compulsory and non compliance is not acceptable or a traitor, you surrender your democracy, then add the abortion issue, you have a silent dictatorship.
The fragmentation of the American society is a planned event starting at their inception. keeping the masses focuses on individuality, struggling to survive, and chasing fantasies to a point where they even appoint movie stars as leaders and quote their scrips in reality says a lot about the inequality of their education systems and why they cannot see the fall of Rome pending.
This is a sad state where whoever wins everyone still looses except the billionaires, divide and rule keeps the masses engaged in hate to a point where a civil war cannot be disregarded and that too will fill the coffers of the dealers of death, but this time it’s their kids that will die on their soil and not some others kid who’s parents have been sold a pup willingly and got a flag in return.
Well it happened ,cost millions, but it was a point that needed to be made.
The Orange Man Cowardly run away to the relief of any more illiterate waffling of a spoilt child loosing his favourite daily toy for that day given to him by his mummy to keep him quiet.
The new king has taken the castle and cleaning out the cupboard but probably nothing will change much other than the noise level.
Priority one is saving the population from basic extinction from the covid which didn’t seem to be important until now.
Politics was all important than any silly pandemic tearing the world apart and his supporters who followed him, followed his lies and innuendo blindly while all the time he was manipulating them into thinking they were helping the country rid of the evil he himself lives.
A rather psychopath skill used by Hitler and other despots that America will take years to wake up. That’s a challenge for the new king and probably the next.
The media both sides cannot go unchallenged. With real journalism being treated as toxic because it doesn’t fit the government narrative and agree it, is branded as enemy of the state. Toxic bias from both sides spewing the opinion shows pretending to be real journalism with hosts some with do not pass the IQ level of a head lice.
And sadder, people believe them because they too are fed by a monopolies with self interest first. Red ,Blue , no difference within America and that’s how things got out of hand. People lost the ability to think for themselves and that’s exactly what the media moguls want. Group think, setting up their own gestapo groups driving around with flags on Utes similar to the ISIS terrorists armed to the hilt.
What does that project to the rest of the world?
Patriotic image they think, downright facist activity viewed by the world, but that word facist is beyond the understanding of the uneducated participants. The average American links communism with socialism or socialistic initiatives like health care, and other things helping the less fortunate. Again uneducated and ill informed based on scare dividing cultures that know nothing about anything outside their state sometimes neighbourhood. Yep keep feeding them bullshit and show them a flag and they will hand their kids over to the warlords and get a flag back if your lucky and if they come back broken its not your countries concern its you local government to look after them.
Unless of course if they need props for a national event and then they call on all that national pride till after the parade has passed.
Sound familiar? It happens here in Australia and our governments of all breeds have failed them as well but not to the same scale as the Americans because of our health system they think is socialistic.
Ideology again reins over social responsibility.
Well that about enough of this waffle for today but as a observer I cannot go without saying how refreshing it was to see a full as possible press core at the first new kings presser and the freedom of the responses and questioning with respect both ways was my highlight above over all the pomp and ceremony..
SO, who’s sick and tired of American self destruction?
Turn on any electrical appliance and its a wonder someone is not giving you a opinion via you kettle or coffee machine … yet
They’ve run out of platforms to waffle to each other, behaved like spoilt children, each and every one playing the victim.
Its pretty easy for an outsider to understand over the last 4 years a Once a worldly conversant, broad thinking, leader of the free world …. In their eyes only I might add, been dumbed down to an internal pox heap of red or blue, all while they are loosing one person every 6 minutes with Covid and really not caring or in denial.
Im not going to bore you all shitless with my opinion as like bum holes we all have one, so what will happen will happen, civil unrest, war with the relatives, self destruction what ever, some feel its their destiny, some playing there victim card and others have no idea but will follow the masses to just conform.
The end result will be the same, history repeats, its not until a nation is total on its knees will the population realise they’ve been conned. Rome, Germany, Italy, even Russia all had to hit the floor, millions dead, infrastructures destroyed and none of the population would recognise it until the big hit came.
All of those nations were icons of their time, indication of forthcoming demise was obvious but not acted on and its history, but the main thread is failed leaderships who once were worshipped.
Change of President will not do much unless wholesale changes are made in equality in both human rights and economic rights and that won’t happen in America as they are the most uneducated population in social infrastructure, actually third world in places which is a disgrace, but where money is god, and in fact god is money the racial divide without social conscious will hamstring any chance of America ever reestablishing itself on the world stage.
Greed is Good and that’s they’re poison they take daily and rewarded accordingly.
Austa La Vista and good night America.
I hope America proves me so wrong, ITS they’re challenge.
Saying “I told you so “ would be self fulfilling but then id be just like Trump wouldn’t I ?
The storming of any house of democracy I thought was a result of the people wanting the removal of a dictator, fascist, or tyrant of the people but yesterday it was the President turning his people on itself for self preservation.
Logic in my terms is not new as I’ve seen unionists turn on its own government to “Show them a Lesson” and as it happens most of those unionists ironically were sacked by the incoming government.
Yep dumb as dog shit, but that’s what happens when the masses get caught up by propaganda and forget to think for themselves. Group thought, lemmings, cattle to the crush and yesterday it was all of that and more.
The sad thing is they will never admit they have been conned, they will follow over the cliff procrastinating all the way to the rocks below.
I honestly believe all Americans are not dumb, think for themselves, intelligent people but the education system has failed so many in common citizenship and political awareness leaving it to media and in bred culture to play teacher, the it does not take much for a polished performer with a good spin to gather up the lost souls so they can fill their own wallets firstly and then become loyal customers of whatever that politician is selling.
In America its so easy as they have this magnificent vision you can be President knowing full well that’s a lie.
Individualist behaviour is the essence of keeping the masses under control and that has never been more evident when with their respect for each other when fighting covid. Keep them split and fighting, the power is left with the puppet masters. Trump played them to a treat.
Yesterday January 6 in America I saw heaps of older people storming but imbedded within those ranks were reporters from other nations news outlets watching and learning the culture and those reports are not what you will hear inside America outlets .
Military culture and speak, it’s all about a mission you see in a movie, Trump is a general, and let’s play out a fantasy that went real bad real quick and they should be thankful they were white or some of them would not be breathing today. In saying that I’d predict by the numbers as of today about 40% to 50% will have Covid within 2 weeks and they will be dead within a month.
Don’t be shocked, one person is dying every thirty seconds in America as we speak from covid alone and that event is a super spreader particularly with the age group I witnessed.
Im a observer not a player, I say shitty things some don’t want to hear but in my life and experience in politics I get red lights flashing a bit before only from experience of my failing to see the lights in my inexperience.
If America is to recover Biden is not the answer, nor is any one over 60 in either party. Trump must be made a example of the way never to put a narcissist in power, a paranoid psychopath, a pathological lier and like so many before not recognised until history reveals the true damage on departure.
If not America will loose it mantle of democracy title and reputation forever. The way it handles Trump in the next few days will determine more than just internal government it will influence foreign policy, trade, and wellbeing of its population as nation and the world will judge the risk of a reoccurring event of yesterday regardless of who is in power.
Its clusterF… self inflicted now how they fix it will need a strong leader and I think Harris is a contender.
Not the best I can remember but I won’t bore you with all the obvious disasters like fires, floods, viruses and the like, because if I believed in the educated I’m supposed to be dead.
We you fucked that one up so far anyway but the lungs are getting a little tattered but I’m still giving the wife the shits so I’m all good, and she’s still growling and assuming so I’m a goer.
Now let’s look at the world.
America has confirmed they are the biggest dickheads on the planet with covid management but thats ok they have their personal rights and that does not include social responsibility so its all about the individual and those rights are the backbone of their society and will be their death by self infliction.
Yep the mask is not a political test it’s a IQ test. About says it all on mindset.
Trump a total fuckwit and as the days go on it’s only exposing what the rest of the world knew days after his inauguration, and it was like a child denying they were caught with their hand in the jar and the grandparents making excuses for it so it didn’t get a flogging was the national denial.
Case closed.
It really boils down to the entire culture is based on a military mindset as that way it makes it simple to divided the troops by having good guys and bad guys and feeding the uneducated on both sides into following some sort of fairy dream of what America is supposed to be, meanwhile the rich just manipulate both sides in their capitalistic way feeding them cake.
Yep, got it
Mark my words now , they will be stepping over bodies in the main streets by mid year, the system will collapse and possible civil unrest will explode encouraged by the Trump army. The stage is set months ago the bomb ticking.
Big Guns, Little Dicks, and smaller brains
Meanwhile China and Russia are laughing and stoking the fires and until America elects a younger FEMALE PRESIDENT some sense of normality will resume however I see trouble as their as big guns, little dicks and interbreeding is across their society not allowing any form on intellectual capital to get traction.
Enough of America, home here is in kayos with a PM with the intellectual capacity of road kill and followed by a legion of zombies in blue ties.
Federal ICAC ?
Lies and corruption are rampant as the born to rule class supported by the Murdock Press is trashing democracy as the numb nut punters just don’t care. Fertile ground for racists facist policy unbeknown until it’s too late.
Im convinced education and common logic don’t grow in the same garden.
And yes a FEMALE PM is required to restore some sense of balance needed to steer our country into life after covid. Testosterone has had its day and oestrogen is required world wide and that proven fact where they are elected to high office.
I think the public is asking the question right now.
Locally our little society is getting older but closer due to covid. Bullshit prevails and honest talking and respect keeps us in tact.
Well its time I went to the shop to get the bread for the sausage sizzle at tonight’s New Years eve party next door, of which we we will be in bed before the time but wine will prevail keeping the local industry well supported, discussions will be had, and 2021 will arrive without our help and we are blessed we are still here thanks to our strong FEMALE Premier Anastasia P and I hope we will be still here keeping the virus out of Queensland .
AND I won’t talk about the English as again until the Fuckwitts realise personal discipline is the only thing that will beat covid they to will be4 stepping over bodies in the streets.
Well it was a shit of a year so I was not going out not calling it as I see it …
The question the corporate sector and its supporters are is driving knowing full well that not all people are able to access hospitals, doctors or any medical treatment.
Not in this country I hear you say, well all can say is get off your arse and look what’s happening in your highly populated areas, look at the food barns, charity shops, and I know from hard experience that lady or man you see in a shopping centre or public that looks reasonably presented may well be living on the street or park somewhere.
I’ve witnessed it in my time at delivering clothes, sanitary products or whatever people donate to the less fortunate.
And No I don’t expect the “ entitled” supporters to even think that occurs in their bubble, it’s all about “them” look at me I’m loosing money, poor me, I’ll employ a lobbyist or mouthpiece look for self pity, and yes mental health and suicidal issues happen in the lower demographic and there are more of the but not as entitled.
They don’t count.
For a moment let me take you to the once leader of the free world and with a kill rate of over 250k plus the ones they never make the data sheet and the grand tactic of bullying with the $$buck and tactical trade tariffs is working and the strategy of using money is a total disaster externally as the likes of China , Iran and whoever just don’t care but it’s ripping apart the American people as they are paying through the nose for stuff the need to survive while the suppliers just look for other clients and gradually set up their own manufacturing factories to eventually starve America of its export.
Money is irrelevant to the likes of China and others as its people and economy will thrive after a little short term shortages.
The capitalist system is in decline across the world as people realise you can’t eat money and as countries are plunged into this debt mentality someone will wake up and well it’s time to put our people, our biggest asset to the front and so what, if we reset our economy with our people a priority we’ll rise and flourish.
Let them eat money and choke, and that what is happening as people will realise that you and your family are just as important if not more than that conglomerate where you are a expendable throw away when it suits.
Covid has bought these issues to the fore, people must think is loosing my parents or children worth someone else’s wealth gain, or will we look at controlling the stream until a vaccine or preventative measures can protect or will we be collateral damage, cattle in the crush, so the wealthy can make a buck and give you the crumbs of which you should be thankful ?
To many this idea of being a socialist is some kind of demonology where the government You elect is accountable to the people not the corporate parasites in blue ties and suits. Yes they are getting their slings, to keep them in office on both sides of the political divide but I believe this Covid has made us question the establishment and we all should look to appointing genuine leaders who look to the little man and women, the battler, the street kid, the police officer, ambo, nurse, truckie, health worker, as without them your corporate blue tie is nothing more than a arse wipe when theirs nothing left to manipulate with your stash.
Oh yes, to those who see division is a political weapon, history has a lesson for you ask Hitler, Mussolini, Gaddafi, of which were evil yet their policies appear in forms in so called freedom right wing nationalist associations.. be aware and don’t get you news from social media, trust real journalists not the talking heads of toxicity.
Since 1982 I have supported the QT well before I moved in in 83. I have seen some truly great journalism, and watched many rise through the ranks to apply their trade here and in other outlets.
And yes we’ve seen some imposters blow in, one in particular but overall we were blessed with professionals delivering our copy to a outstanding standard.
Me, I put my 2bobs worth in via Letters and provided some banter to keep some in fits and others in anger management, but it kept the local political players thinking that someone was watching outside the media.
Sadly once APN was annexed by Murdock it was inevitable the toxicity would eventually eat the once strong respected masthead and try to Trojan horse on its history.
Well it’s failed, failed in Trumps in fact and that’s no reflection on who has been spared to cover what remains of so called “local News” They have to survive and my heart feels for them genuinely as they knew what we had and now defending the indefensible must be exhausting.
I won’t give oxygen to the product they produce now but it’s not local journalism, it’s a moving mush of mediocrity to be kind, and having it appear and presented under the Queensland Times Masthead is a total disservice to the history and journalistic forefathers of such a great entity.
Murdock has mongrelised journalism with toxic bias and is no longer a newspaper but a bias blue tie newsletter and it’s classification as a “News” outlet must be challenged in a court along with it monopolies that have been allowed to develop in the name of democracy, or we will be no better that a state under propaganda as was Germany.
Yes I’ve signed Rudd’s petition but and so should you if you care, but things will not change unless Morrison and his thugs are gone as Murdock is being paid by us taxpayers to keep him in office and to me that’s no better than any fascist state trick used by dictatorships who have crushed unfavourable media across the world.
It’s like watching a train crash knowing the people on it are going to die.
Such is America today.
We are seeing two old men possible geriatric who should be on nursing homes fighting each other’s ideology’s for a chance to pick over a dying carcass that cannot be revived until it reaches flat bottom.
Only when it reaches bottom will the entire nation realise “Shit we may all have to work at this together to get out of this “ a philosophy usually used after a war, a national tragedy, that requires nation building.
I know I’m dreaming, it ant going to happen. This America version we have now is a pack of self centred wanna be individual capitalists who would crawl over their grandparents dead bodies to make a buck or be successful. Empathy or ethics is not a requirement to achieve that goal but the lack of them justifies the goal at all costs.
It’s the American dream , wealth and fortune will always prevail over truth and justice, and that’s not racists it’s applies to all citizens and accepted as part of life….Until some section of the society burrs up and then it will be regarded as enemy of the state, regardless of which Marfia is in government at the time.
I used to despair watching Fox ,CNN, and others until I realised to accept these divisions only adds to the problem and does nothing for the nation other than increases the ratings along with the hate factor.
Dumb as Dog Shit in Australian terms along with the fanatics they the media create. The oldest trick in the book is splitting the nation, used by despots like Hitler, Mussolini, Starlin in propaganda blitzes to convert a nation to dictatorships. That’s fact and it’s happening as we speak in America now.
They say democracy is a great vehicle to gain power because after your in power it’s easy to get off and then follow self interest of survival and ideology.
If you can’t see that happening in America right now your brain dead, but I suppose with a population of 5% still believing the earth is flat, the entire population of Australia count in Australia illiterate or to the equivalent of not passing primary school you can’t expect lateral thinking at any level let alone critical thinking.
The national policy of keep them dumb and feed the bullshit and tell them it’s cake is alive and well.
Let’s keep it simple..
A nation that willingly sacrifices their youth in was that only makes the wealthiest wealthy for a flag and sympathy for a month, what sort of a nation tolerates that without question says a lot for the National IQ.
I can hear the cries now, you don’t know our culture, or our constitution, and I probably know as much or more than joe citizen without having to be told by some politician, and by the way how many countries has America forced its influence upon them without any regard to its citizens?
Getting back to the Geriatric Giants struggling to stay relevant, one struggling to fight off the ageing process that might be able to be hid if office is won the other with a literary level of a schoolchild, a typical little rich boy with no empathy or moral boundaries and a pathological liar which qualities fit exactly into the all American persona of success, artfully disguised as man of the street for the masses.
What a fucking choice!!!!
They will pick one flunky, the result will only change the trajectory of the crash, Trump will not accept any result other the his so regardless the choices are a nation that the rest of the world will abandon until the realisation that since he,Trump, has taken office the world is making its own arrangements without America, it’s capitalism threats and influence will kill its rural sectors and manufacturing so it will be selling to itself…. DER Donald and China doesn’t care about your infantile tariffs it’s source elsewhere or make it themselves.
Now Biden,,, well civil war begs and total breakdown of civil authorities. Wars within states, within communities, races, religions, encouraged by Trump in fact probably sponsored.
Even if Biden is elected the divide will not be addressed unless it becomes a total land slide and even if that happens their constitutional arrangements can manipulate the people’s will via bias courts or lawmakers, making democracy a joke by giving way to political puppets of corrupt capitalists.
It would be totally ignorant and self indulgent if I did not say Australia is not going down the same track about 3 years behind but suffering the same symptoms under the Morrison government. Every time Trump farts Morrison takes deep breaths and spills the bile here.
Our phoney PM is nothing more than a used car salesmen, full of slogans and motherhood statements without substance.
A buy a car with a free bumper bar, about sums up his leadership skills.
And our Opposition, not clear on how they know how cut the mustard trying to walk the middle ground or find the middle ground, that is if the middle ground is where the party wants to position itself for some sort of traction.
In both countries Murdock Press is the toxic cancer to any form of democracy, and until that cancer is defeated true democracy will never prevail. Until we have journalism that hold every politician to account regardless of ideology we will never be more than pawns of the loudest voice, which makes it easy for the ignorant and ill informed, conspiracies and all. Those splits suits the empowered and takes the heat off the incompetence in responsible government.
It’s all a game and you are the sucker, if YOU choose.
Sad but quite foreseeable unfortunately, as we sit back and watch those trains get closer in America and it’s a test if the points are changed on Australia’s tracks.
As we speak some we have we are informed that thousands of Victorians are refusing to be tested for COVID-19 believing the conspiracy I won’t repeat because of utterly ridiculous theories beyond belief.
This culture of stupidity will spread the virus intentionally and me being in the vulnerable age group and having “other” issues will die if I contact the disease, full stop.
But it’s not only those in Victoria or NSW or anywhere in fact it’s our political hawks who have decided the virus is now part of our life we are going to have to live with and may as well just open up and get on with making our economy great again, and it’s up to you to survive, and in the right age group.
At the front end of this crisis we were told it’s the elderly and those compromised with health issues will be in the most vulnerable, that warning has been conveniently forgotten by our Prime Minister as he continues to play his smirking game of wedge politics with the state leaders to get his silver tail mates back in favour.
We oldies are now collateral damage to the capitalistic ambitions of the LNP and should just concede we have had our time run our race and die for the country’s well being, to keep the businesses back making profits.
One thing is for sure, we will go first unless we stay in hibernation forever, so we have to accept that fact and maybe the herd immunity theory, similar to the conspiracy theories will keep the younger population eventually protected after a significant genocidal experiment in the name of economic prosperity.
Yes there is a solution but I thought we were a intelligent race here in Australia but the Victorians are revealing we suffer from “Fuckwittery” at a level that could be just as contagious as COVID-19 amongst the population that cannot come to terms of for once in their lives they are not in control, and maybe we could just get all of the dumb arses parked up together and see if their theories are correct and it’s only them it effects.
They wouldn’t last a week before they,d have another conspiracy about the conspiracy.
The Lateral Hazard
