What I don't understand is why people are so apathetic about this issue. They could not have been more blatantly wrong and dishonest, but the public responds with an overwhelming sense of defeatism.
The War of Terror that began some thirty odd years ago, fueled by 'feminism', 'equality movements', 'wars on crime', 'gun laws' - and all kinds of other things brought in to alter the legal and social landscape of this country by force and deception by the wolves in sheep's clothing who masquerade as governments here - all ultimately dedicated to the removal of the personal right to control over one's own life of the ordinary citizen and the abrogation of that right by the State under any disguise of government of left or right - has borne fruit with the many. Most such now are either paid off social group members*, are terrorised into silence**, or have simply quit the field in disgust or a feeling of the impossibility of any meaningful change.
Only the very strong still oppose these continued intrusions into the basic Rights of the people - the one thing that amazes me is that so far there has been no outbreak of revolutionary actions.
On the issue of 'meaningful change' I raise above - Richard K Barnet in 'Intervention and Revolution' cites clearly that the primary cause of open revolt is not the manifold acts of oppression perpetrated by corrupt governments of self-interest, but the realisation by some that the political process as established is far too slow in rectifying wrong.
I happen to agree.
Looking at the Gauleiter principle*** in action - with the 'right' of the (temporary) employer of an Unemployed person to have a direct say over that person's Unemployment Benefits - I see the very clear issue will arise of certain of such 'employers' being attacked directly as merely an extension of an oppressive government.
Another issue involved, of course, is the rising over-control of 'employers' in the workplace - meaning that they have been fed for far too long the idea that they are petty dictators rather than members of a team. That kind of unreasoning will get you sleeping with a grenade every night of the week and some days .... and has a very real negative impact on morale and on workforce productivity. Such fools simply cannot see that simple reality, and yet governments persist in promoting exactly this kind of petty dictatorship of the workplace.
I predict a rain of fire is coming.... but it will only be The Few who carry the can - as usual - while the majority sit back and reap the rewards fought for.
* when you pay Peta to rob Paul under, for example, "EEO", you are creating a workforce of the under-motivated who are receiving largesse without effort, and another side which will receive little largesse regardless of effort. Not a good idea in forming a dedicated and motivated workforce.
** when you rob Paul of his rights in family etc to give to Peta, dictate that Paul can no longer remain non-criminal for drowning his sorrows with more than two drinks, and tell him that owning a legal firearm and attempts to see his children will make him a criminal and will lead to his being attacked by the State, you are engaging in a War of Terror against Paul as the (once) primary mover of all that WAS good in this society. That is a precursor of a War of Terror by the ruling clique against The People in their entirety.
*** In Hitler's Nazi Germany, the Gauleiter was the absolute ruler (leader) of a specified segment of society, be it a town, city, or organisation (the Gau), and was, as a Nazi, a lesser dictator than those at the top but still a dictator.
Late Addition:-
I forgot to add into that mix the calculated policy of introducing mass groups from depressed Third World countries as a direct means of impacting negatively on income expectation, standards of living, and even social conditions - all as a precursor to generating a regime in which 'wage costs' and costs of 'production' will be lower, thus creating, without a simultaneous reduction in costs of living, a situation of more profit for those with their hands on the reins.
You see this precisely with the 7/11 epic - workers from India come here, are offered $5 an hour when their average weekly income i8n India is $11 - and they think, for five minutes - that they are in clover. then the reality impacts that they cannot LIVE on $5 an hour and they are being ripped off. So when Maohomad Shangrila comes here, and is prepared to work for his cousin all day in the hot sand for two drachmae a day - these people automatically compete with local workers and, via unregulated employment such as service stations etc - create an environment in which cheaper labour is available, and thus the overall prosperity of all is reduced. and downward pressure is generated on incomes for the working people (stress) - for the working people.
I have nothing against individuals in those imported social groups - as long as they do nothing to me, I will do nothing to them - but I must disagree with this failed government immigration policy and its deliberate use as a weapon of (dare one say it) class war against the working people of this country.
......and* before anyone gets too hasty here - when someone can show me where Labor anbd Liberal differ on this rort.... I'm all ears.....
