Subject: I wouldn't vote for you
Hi Bludge, I take my hat off to you for having the balls to run such an offensive site in this day of age where we live in a "politically correct" nightmare. I agree with much of what you've said in this rant. However, having said that, I would not vote you for prime minister! My reasons are numerous and solid but I won't put them down here, for that's not the reason I post this comment (perhaps we can have a lively debate about who would be good for prime minister some other time). I post this comment to address two of the issues you've brought up: taxation and people power. First, taxation. You said: "I understand running a country costs alot of money, but don't we all pay our taxes to pay for these things?" Well let me tell ya somethin' sonny Jim... The Australian Taxation Office is 'somewhat less than legal': check it out for yourself: -This vid explains how Australians were hoodwinked in 1999 with the republican referendum, and how the ATO isn't really legitimate. -This vid is a distilled version of the above vid. This documentary shows how something similar was done in the USA almost 100 years ago, (this is a long one, but make some time in the near future to watch it, your life won't be the same when you see how the world is falling into the pockets of world bankers). So, addressing your point: yes we pay taxes, but without fair and just taxation laws, and with no transparency into the RBA or the ATO, we really don't know where our hard earned taxes are going. Do we just assume that everything is above board and that none of our tax revenue is being misused? How much trust do you give to the politician or the government agent, when they say "Trust us, everything is fine"? I urge anyone who is concerned about their individual freedom to familiarise themselves with the information presented in the videos above, and to do their own research... you might be shocked by what you uncover. Anyway, enough about taxation... The second issue you brought up that I want to address: "...we're all so fucking defeated by a neglectful system..." We're subliminally conditioned to feel that we're defeated, but we're not! There are more of us than there are them! If the public is informed, if the people know that the government is their servant, if we all insist that our government be honest and transparent with us, then we'll be taking back the control over our government that we lost somewhere along the way. The fact is: people power is a formidable force! Don't let the "powers that be" convince you otherwise. February 22, 2010 - 18:48
Subject: Re: I wouldn't vote for you
hah Ey man... you might be onto something with not voting for me ey. I sweat too easily to wear a fuckin tie anyways ey. I understand your points and I kinda think I was trying to suggest that our tax money isn't going anywhere, like you're saying - ya dig? As for my point on the people being so defeated. I'm only stating what I see as a fact. People are just so happy to shut the fuck up and put up with it and hide in their safe little homes. But you're right - people power is a formidable force! Unfortunately I really do honestly feel too many people are happy to turn a blind eye so they can continue living their fake "comfortable" lives of clearance sales, designer labels and brainless blockbuster films!

I agree with you 100%. To your list of "comforting distractions" that are provided for people to keep them from getting mad at the bullshit going on right under their noses I will add SPORT. I think that it's a particularly nasty one. How many Australians are completely obsessed with the sport news and the gossip of the trouble that the sport stars are getting into? Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying ignore the sport that gives you so much pleasure to watch and follow... but be mindful that while we're focused on "whatever sporting event" or "whatever sporting season" we're not keeping an eye on the thugs who are running the show. It's such a shame that parliament is seen as being so boring for so many people. It's worrying that so many of us don't really understand how parliaments and governments function or how they're supposed to function. It's sickening that we encourage those wielding the power to tighten their grip because we're so obviously uninformed and distracted and willing to buy any old rubbish which makes us feel good (or if we're not willing to buy, we simply rant). And all of this does look like defeat, I completely agree. The point I am making is that each of us can put the breaks on our own path towards destruction. If one guy does, and explains to the next guy what's happening and how to apply the breaks, and that guy goes on and explains it to his mates and so forth we can always turn the tide. It won't be easy, the powers that be will try all manner of tactics to prevent a movement of shaking up the status quo from gathering momentum, but in the end, if enough of us are informed and are willing to ask the tough questions, and hold onto the truth (no matter what the truth may be) their efforts will be in vain. People have the power. The government is the servant. Right now, the servant is giving the master the orders, and robing him blind in the process. The master is you and me people. What I'd like is to get our unruly servants under control once again! How can that be done????? Well, I don't really have the answer to that. But some of the steps necessary seem clear enough: February 16, 2010 - 22:01

I can't really think of much to say to this at the moment, but you raise some good points, and you'd definitely have my vote for Prime Minister. February 16, 2010 - 13:04
