ASSANGE.
Today's Australian carried a story on Assange and
the Hillary emails. Last month I wrote about
Hillary.
Most of the reader's comments were disparaging.
My take is that Hilary's emails should have been
published by CNN or FOX or other high profile
news media. The fact that she broke the law was
NEWS, and (despite
my careful reading) the only damage
potentially done was to Hillary's reputation.
Personally I do not like it if information is
concealed about someone who stands for public
office. In my opinion, Assange was acting
in the public interest. So what if (as is
alleged by various Democrats) the Russians were
the source of the information. (So far as
I am concerned the Russians are the good guys,
and have been since they fought Adolf.)
Back to reality. Trump would probably not
mind if Assange were free and traveling in the
US. But the Democrats would be most upset.
Assange was responsible for their loss of the
Presidency. So while the Russians are still
blamed, Assange stays in jail.
In a later story there were positive comments
Dr
JENNIFER
ORIEL.
Jennifer
Oriel is a journalist whose name
keeps cropping up in my research
because of her insight.
Her most recent was "Elites
beware, a populist tidal wave
looms"
The gist
was that "Trump
is the
harbinger of a
populist tidal
wave,
and the wealthy
and powerful
of the world
had better
watch out."
The
wealthy and
powerful (aka
"The Elite")
are most
certainly
attacking
Trump.
They cannot
understand why
their
traditional
media is not
controlling
voting
patterns as it
has
historically.
Their favoured
journalists
are having
conniptions,
telling
outrageous
lies, all to
make trump
unpopular
enough to
impeach.
The
elite do not yet
understand the
profound
revolution
that has
resulted from
the social
media.
Now individuals
can judge
via Facebook
and Twitter
the person for
whom they will
vote.
We
don't
have to rely
on
biassed
summaries by
journalists
who present
attention
grabbing
headlines
about
conspiracy.
Close
examination of
at least one
of those
headlines shows it
to be without
substance.
Already the
wealthy and
powerful are
complaining.
The
owners of
Facebook and
Twitter are on
the public
record.
Movie
stars denounce
Trump.
Why is
that? IT
IS BECAUSE
DONALD TRUMP
IS NOT OWNED.
He did not get
massive
contributions.
He is not in
it for $$$.
He
is in it
because he
wants to be
liked.
At stake is
the wealth
of the top 0.001%
of the world's
population.
This is because
their wealth
depends on purchased
legislation
that favours
their monopoly
businesses.
Once power is
stripped from
their puppets
it will not
take long for
popular
legislators to
remove those
legislated
aids to
monopoly
theft.
We already have
examples of how
to improve
democracy in
Switzerland and
Iceland.
With Computer
technology we
could easily
poll the
population on
any laws.
We don't need
REPRESENTATIVE
government any
more. We
can have DIRECT
GOVERNMENT.
Such as FLUX
offers.
TURKEY
-v-
KURDS.
UK -v- SCOTS
After
not helping
with ISIS, the
Turks
are invading
that part of
Syria
inhabited by
Kurds.
The reason?
The Kurds have
been
fighting Isis
and look like
they might
form a
separate
state.
Why
would that
worry the
Turks?
Well the
population of
Turkey is 80
million, and
about 20% are
Kurds.
Those Kurds
are oppressed.
Compare
the Turks,
(who were
the major
world power
for 7
centuries
until around 1700AD,
and are still
one of the
most civilized
peoples in the
world -
just ask any Muslim)
with the United
Kingdom, (who
were a
backward primitives
and minor
world power
before 1600AD,
but lucked out
with having
coal at the
start of the
industrial
revolution.
Again, just
ask any Muslim.)
In the
UK the
Scots
indicated they
might want to
separate, so
the UK gave
them a
referendum.
The Turks, when
confronted by
a significant
minority sent
in the army
and suppressed
would
be
separatists.
(A bit like
the attitude
of the Chinese
in Tibet, Spanish
in Catalonia,
Serbs
in Kosovo
etc....)
As
Jennifer Oriel
reported
in the article
cited
above,
analysis seems
to show that
Rome and
Holland and
Venice faded
and fell
because of
greedy elitists (who
know better
than the
masses
how to govern the
masses)
who encouraged
the
importation of
cheap labour.
If
elitist
government is
best, how come
Switzerland
and Iceland
are still
doing so
well?
How come
Trump's USA
has not
collapsed
economically?
Come to
think of it, I
think NSW
could do
better without
the rest of
Australia like
a millstone
about it's neck!
