Zero Voter Turnout

Freedom From Delusion

"If voting worked it would be illegal."

The world is populated with knights and angels, demons and vampires. Warriors of God, long in battle, become wary. Their wills constantly attacked by the soul of what some call 'Babylon'- the world of money that thinks a world without money where food grows on trees is absurd and impossible.

'Voting' is a construct invented by a desire to distract and enslave. Freedom has always been easy - just don't claim the land with murderous fervor. A joyous life is to be had by living to live, not living to swim in luxury. The blessing of patience existing to counter any desire unattainable.

The mass of the Earth's population tricked into thinking that freedom means 'freedom to manifest any desire', when, in fact, it means 'freedom from delusion'. The major obstacle being the stubborness that guards the contented laziness of most people- the laziness that allows us to fear. This is why patience IS a miracle, because it is the phenomenon that breeds a desire for the courage to face our laziness.

Given, we have gotten ourselves in a pickle because of a long-time dependency on corruption. Over-population being only one of many many indicators. Voting isn't going to be the cure. The opposite, really.

To bring justice and remember freedom we must have patience and consider the unworthiness of supporting a mindset that pretends it must rape the world to survive; pretends 'across the board' prohibition is necessary.

By destroying our IDs, ceasing to pay taxes and rent, and humbly and politely giving no authority to the police (not fearing prosecution or death) we will begin the process of healing the planet. Moving knowing conscientiousness we respect the real world around us and do not fear violating any law as we assert our right to simply exist.

So, truth be told, we do not have the right to support a system that contents itself with a lie, and voting does just that.

May the next vote be the last. May the next vote not have any participants (as everyone is too busy reclaiming the paradise that is this planet's potential).

Move well and trust that patience is with us,

Costello, Howard's Disciple

'ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS?'

WAR CRIMINALS, JOHN HOWARD AND PETER Costello lost their vision for Australia from the time they were elected and embarked on a vision for the neo-Liberals.

The Un-Australian Newspaper: Lamenting that the symbols of Australia at the moment are fraying, the Liberal Party's heir-apparent Pastor Peter [$Money, $Money, $Money], and the Hills songs argued that the magic and myth has been stripped from vice-regal office -- just weeks after Tasmanian governor Richard Butler was ousted.

The Un-Australian: A committed Christian, [?] lamented the decline of religion and marriage in Australia, claiming family breakdown was a contributing factor to poverty. Offering an alternative vision in areas where John Howard has faced some of his strongest criticism, Mr Costello predicted the public would become more accepting of higher levels of immigration. "As the population of Australia ages, as we have skill shortages, that Australia is going to have to have a larger skilled immigration program," he said.

[In other words we'll use them when it suits us and we'll lock them up when they get in the way. Very Christian? Just like throwing them to the lions......]

Mr Costello vowed to speak out widely outside his portfolio after Mr Howard decided last year to stay on as Liberal leader -- a decision that deeply upset the Treasurer.

[True? Howard is the Devil and Costello claims to be a Christian, is that like 'good cop' - 'bad cop'?]

Commenting on the Howard Government's immigration policy, Mr Costello said he looked forward to a future where there were no children in detention centres. "and I think that has to be the aim of the policy". The ultimate aim, I think, should be for no children in detention, and I think I am right in saying there are very few at the moment."

[Does that mean he is going to start rescuing the children thrown over-board? Or just let out some of the kids that could swim? Very few children in detention, Pastor Peter, that is if you're not one of them I guess?]

There are now 86 children held in detention centres and alternative programs in the community in Australia and offshore.

Labor has vowed to release all children from detention if elected. Predicting that Australia would eventually become a republic, Mr Costello said vice-regal appointees were left at the "mercy of the media".

[But actually if you're not a neo-Liberal then that's where you're also kept 'at the mercy of John Howard's corporate puppets'.]

Costello: "You'd have to think, if you were a prominent Australian and you were approached to do the job, you'd have to think very seriously about it these days, I would think," he said.

[But who'd work for the Devil anyway? Peter Costello!]

Costello: "A lot of the magic and myth has been stripped away from that office, and I think it's much harder for governors and governors-general to maintain any kind of vice-regal status that they need. "You're more or less at the mercy of "political factors"."

[Do you add that to the 'mercy of the media' or do you subtract it? I wasn't good at maths Pastor Pete.]

The Treasurer was one of the few senior Howard Government figures to publicly back the republic during the 1999 referendum. "We will become a republic, and I think that the symbols of Australia at the moment are fraying.

[No Pastor Peter the word is 'frying'. How would you like your election? Medium, rare or well done? Or don't you get cooked? Perhaps you're just an innocent bystander with Christian faith whose caught up in Howard's racist war machine?]

Costello: "But if you want to renew those symbols but have a Westminster system, I don't think you would support a directly elected president."

The Un-Australian Newspaper: Mr Costello's forthright remarks were seized on by Mark Latham last night, and senior Labor figures predicted they would revive Liberal leadership tensions. "Peter Costello is putting his own social agenda because he will never get any of these things from John Howard," the Opposition Leader told The Un- Australian.

"Mr Costello has repudiated the Prime Minister and endorsed a significant part of Labor's platform for the coming election, and I welcome his support."

However, the Prime Minister's office last night played down suggestions of a split in the Government's leadership, pointing out the Coalition was already pursuing alternative detention models for children.

[Well they say better late than never but I suppose if you have left children locked up until a couple of months prior the election then you've shown your true colours. What you see is what you get with Howard regardless of Costello's Christian faith?]

The Un-Australian Newspaper: His remarks on the decline of vice-regal office follows the furore over Mr Butler's $650,000 payout after he was asked by the Premier to resign and the resignation last year of governor-general Peter Hollingworth. "You just have to look at what's happened to a few governors and governors-general recently to know it's a very hard office to fill now," Mr Costello said. "You're expected to be vice-regal without any of the mythology that once surrounded the office. The press, of course, are only too willing to investigate all of your pecadillos and there's no vice-regal shield of protection anymore."

[Actually there is no shield for anyone who is not a neo -Liberal is there Pastor Peter? Perhaps if you're a christian neo-Liberal!]

The Un-Australian Newspaper: Chairman of the Australian Republican Movement John Warhurst said Mr Costello's comments reflected a greater demand for vice-regal accountability. "The republican debate shows that we are stuck between a discredited monarchy and a republic to come and it's a place that Australia should not stay in for long," he said.

[Actually we're stuck between the Devil and living in fear!]

Warhurst: "People these days are more interested in who holds these appointments and what they stand for. There's a general desire to democratise these roles."

[RICHARD'S BUTLER: Actually the people I know these days are more interested in civil and democratic rights, human rights, and a fair go and I don't think Richard Butler got one and neither did those children locked up in detention all 86 at the moment. And if you live in Iraq well.....What the neo-liberals are trying to convince the voters of is that at least one of them is decent but it won't wash with the Australian people because we know they're all in a different boat.]

SO PUT YOUR LEFT FOOT FORWARD 'WITHOUT FEAR' AND VOTE 1 THE GREENS AND 2 THE LIE DETECTORS AND LET THOSE CHILDREN GO! TO LIVE IN DETENTION IS A LIFE LOST.

Police selling drugs? Bikies selling drugs? Pharmacies prescribing drugs

Of course there will be criticism when you cross that thin blue line! You have to realise how the government itself has been corrupted because of the drug scene and the money involved.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander and all Politicians have to be drug tested to find out who the hypocritical gooses are sitting on their perches like lords with a fat wallet and the kids are dieing because what they see is not what they get.

The question is why should and why did people die even when the ICAC dealt drugs?

Because they had no idea about what they gave our children and that was because non of those losers 'kid killers' had any history of being professionally trained to understand medicine or chemical compounds.

Forget about the nonsense? Of people making up their own mind about curing their pain as they breakdown slowly ageing. There is acceptance that some drugs improve the quality of life as you get older and you can't get that at the chemist.

But the major parties criticised the Greens drug proposal. The New South Wales Premier Bob Carr and Opposition leader John Brogden have condemned the Greens proposal to decriminalise illegal drugs such as amphetamines and marijuana.

The Coalition has gone so far as to withhold their preferences from flowing to the Greens. Under the Greens' plan, ecstasy, cannabis, heroin and other drugs would be distributed to registered addicts from state regulated health clinics.

The use of such drugs would also be decriminalised. Mr Carr is strongly opposed to the proposal. "I don't want us to be a pill-popping society with youngsters boiling their brains on amphetamines and marijuana," he said.

Why not just go pill-popping on Valium after you have gone mad on alcohol and choked to death on cigarettes?

Brogden has refused to negotiate preference deals with the Greens because of their stance and wants the Premier to do the same.

"[Mr Carr] has to indicate [that] the Labor party in New South Wales at the March election will not preference the Greens nor will they accept Green preferences," he said.

However with the Greens tipped to poll strongly the distribution of their preferences in several marginal seats may be crucial.

Because the NSW Coalition ruled out Greens deal the Coalition hasn't got a chance of being elected.

But Mr Brogden says, "It's not for Bob Carr simply to say he's opposed to the policy," he said. "If he wants to be taken and trusted on this issue he has to go the next step, he has to indicate the Labor Party in NSW at the March election will not preference the Greens, nor will they accept Green preferences."

The National Council on Drugs opposes heroin trials because John Howard funds them.

The proposals to make currently illegal drugs available to registered drug addicts has been criticised by the chairman of the Australian National Council on Drugs, the Salvation Army's Major Brian Watters.

He says it would mean giving up policies that are working for ones in which the outcomes are unknown.

"Why would we want to change now and make drugs available, that's mad," he said.

Deeds
I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch. A breach of the fundamental Separation of Powers Doctrine does not in my view allow the thought of intervening, planning, or shuffling to stack the deck of our police service. The one that suppose to be autonomous according to Lord Denning. Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.

Australia's Political Underworld...& their enforcers
The promotion of law and order means money to big business. Profits from insurance, security fixtures, patrol services and the like can only continue to grow if the perceived threat of uncontrollable crime wave escalates. In the past few months there have been many examples of the true nature of our blood thirsty politicians and their sinister attempts to spoon-feed a not so gullible public with their repetitious rhetoric.

Truth
Who is telling the truth? Well I guess Dr. Ed. Chadbourne or Mr. Peter Ryan may have the answer to that. Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.

Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep. Another word for it is sleaze, yeah. Another word for it is workplace harassment. Another word for it is bribing a Police Officer. Another word for it is misleading Parliament.

Tele Tales

Lord Denning
Interesting how a member of the Police Board Mr. Tim Priest would hold grave fears for his safety from dangerous senior police but fails to name them or have them sacked. Rather Priest resigns as if he had no powers. Could that mean what he was saying is that the Governments are also corrupt?

Clive Small is Bob Carr's choice for the new Police Commissioner. It could only be the case considering his, Small's special appointment into Parliament House.

He should be taken to the task along with his partners in crime like Clive Small to account for those people who like my self have been maliciously assaulted and who have complained, without any service and those who cannot speak for themselves who were murdered, like Terry Falconer.

Robin Egan

Michael Egan want's to rob the poor and give it to the Government.

Two thirds of fines are never collected because they go beyond the means of the defendants and because in lots of cases people do not see that they are responsible. Especially where people know their in the right and no fine ought to have been a penalty.

Being set up on the trifecta for instance, abusive language, resist arrest, and assault police. Where base charges are not proven but nonsense charges are held. Where you're busted for a joint or small amount of illicit drug floating around in your pocket from a late night out.

Traffic offenses when you know you are in the right but through some fluke of nature you're held responsible but the traffic branch won't listen to your reason.

What about good will when some of the poor cannot pay and sometimes they can, then you could way up the fact that you get one third and have allot of good will. Good will, always receiving one third in three. You know what they say; "a bird in the hand is worth three in the bush".

You can always line up wheel chairs for the brain injured like what happened to Jamie Partlick before fine defaulters were taken away from NSW Prisons after he was bashed for being there.

Michael Egan's new formula as follows:

Subtracted from 3 thirds the total of claims. 1. Payments, 2. Good will 3. Bankrupts, and 4. Mistakes then you end up with all the money you were due.

Then you may lead by example and pay all the unpaid compensation claims you have held back from the respondents in their civil claims against the Government left lingering until the respondents are too sick to enjoy it or deceased.
