The Politician's Primary.

Postby Schnauzer » Sat Oct 29, 2011 1:10 am

The first considerations of a Politician are to ensure that those who voted for him/her are kept in ignorance whilst being convinced otherwise.

Evidence of this is clearly visible to any who take the trouble to analyse world events objectively rather than accept (AS GOSPEL) whatever they are told.

So used have we all become to the lies and deceit which permeate the 'Halls of Power', it is almost impossible to arrive at ANY conclusion without first dismissing the aforementioned lies and deceit before we attempt to THINK for ourselves.

In recent years , we have been (all of us) granted a ringside view of murderous actions being imposed upon the innocents of many nations, we are told that these actions are retaliatory, that they are necessary, that they are justified and that there are no alternatives to such actions, YET, at this very moment, now that enormous damage has been done throughout the Middle East (and other regions), the very same politicians that are responsible for the slaughter of so many, are negotiating PEACE with those forces which they have discovered are not quite so vulnerable as they anticipated.

Prime example...........Afghanistan.

Any signs of 'Lucidity' from the general population (such as protests and anti-war demonstrations) are quickly dealt with, tear gas and water cannons are readily available should the said 'Lucidity' home in to the TRUTH which is hidden from the general populace.

As the late Sir Winston Churchill famously quoted.... "The TRUTH is such a precious commodity, it must be protected by a bodyguard of lies !"

Another famous quotation by the late Genghis Khan.... "He who seeks to parley in the midst of battle, knows he is beaten !"

One is forced to wonder why the likes of P.M. Cameron and his counterparts, are busily negotiating with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

No doubt we will all be treated to a further round of 'Talks' on the subject, in keeping with those which are taking place elsewhere. :wink:

If one decides to probe the influences of the 'Super-Entities' upon world affairs, the floodgates may open to a debate upon WHY the world is now in such financial crisis., it follows that such a debate may well descend into a searching criticism of WHO and HOW such wealth is allowed to dominate us all.

What is more important, is to expose the underhandedness which exists in the aforementioned 'Halls of Power' and to seek to eradicate it.

It has long been foretold that the system of 'Capitalism' (as we know it) is ultimately self- destructive, indeed, the Chinese actually produced a depiction of a Dragon which was devouring it's own tail, a caricature of what 'Capitalism' represents.

Whether or not there be any justice in such a representation, only time will tell.

MY focus is more upon the suffering I have witnessed as a result of the lies and deceit of those that are in power, a cursory glance at the condition of Sirte now that the conflict is over, surely highlights just how far the said powers are prepared to go in order to achieve their foul objectives.

No doubt the 'Entrepreneurs' (hastily departing from the shores of the UK) will be salivating at the thought of what gains there may be for them in that stricken land., it being a well known fact that there is little financial gain to be had in the pursuit of PEACE. :wink:

The non-elected, powerful government of Britain is making a Great effort. :wink:

I would like to point out that the two parties that formed the UK Government took something like 59.1% of the total vote.

The majority of ministers in that Government are elected members of the legislature and all members of the Government are members of the legislature.

Can the same be said of Cyprus?

That the two parties (Lib-Con) managed to 'Cobble Together' a majority of 59.1% of a (relatively small turnout) poll in the last election, merely highlights the stupidity of the British public in their acceptance of it.

I used the expression 'Cobble Together' advisedly, since the Government could just as easily have ended up as a 'Lib-Lab' pact and the ONLY reason for it NOT having been so was dependant upon 'Deals' being made behind closed doors (as usual).

To make a comparison with Cyprus is quite an interesting slant since there can be no such comparison.

However, what IS quite obvious on the world stage, is the fact that there are no Cypriot troops 'Marauding' (and I again choose the word advisedly) the lands of other nations, furthermore, if one wished to analyse the destruction of Libya (and other nations in the region) one might well be inclined to conclude that the REAL reason for toppling 'Dictatorships' (in particular the Libyan) might be that it's Leader would not touch the UK (in trade) with a bargepole. :D

Interestingly, the manner in which political parties strive to achieve majorities (by generally deceiving the voters) might one day see a 100% majority, this would be representative of a 'Dictatorship' and begs the question "Would it not be more lucrative to have LESS MP's now that the party has complete control ?, after all, the spoils of victory would be far greater if divided by less"

Perhaps the politicians are envious of those that 'Dictate', it is a point worth considering against the background of setting out to entirely destroy a nation's cities in order to assassinate ONE leader merely because he refused to trade his oil.

Maybe, if the oil begins to flow in Cyprus we may witness some changes here, meanwhile, leave Cyprus OUT of the comparison game, we're doing fine. :wink:

Exactly. Nobody voted for these "two parties" to form the government.

Tantamount to a putsch in preventing the establishment of a properly elected government - a party (not two or three interested losers) whose policies represent the majority of the people (or 'contrived area subjects', in Britain's case).
