Living under a fascist regime

An unjust, abusive government still has a lot of interest to use the means of propaganda to preserve the image of being a democracy, with equal rights for all. It's simply unlikely that any leader turns around and bleakly states his disregard for the voting majority, only rarely those comments surface. But it takes just a little bit of thinking to unveil the ruling class in a so-called democracy as a bunch of hypocritical liars.

Today's news in SBS offered yet another chance to convince anyone capable of thinking for themselves that fascism has already arrived, and is here to stay. I just mention Israel's act of state terrorism (the murder of a Hamas leader in Dubai using forged Australian and other nations passports) as a sideline, and skip to the outrageous hypocrisy related to events closer to my temporary home.

Let's start instead with the Australian's government protection of corporate criminals. Not, I'm not referring to Richard Pratt, who was honoured with a state funeral for ripping off each and every Australian, that's old news. This time it's about Stern Hu, the Rio Tinto executive who has finally admitted taking bribes. Rio Tinto starts distancing themselves now from their manager, while Kevin Rudd doesn't look like he is ever going to excuse towards the Chinese government for whitewashing Hu without any other evidence for his innocence besides Hu's Australian passport and employment for a multinational company with Australian headquarters. Rudd ranted about the 'injust' judicial system in China, vouching for a now confessing criminal.

Considering the cases of David Hicks, Benbrika and Dr. Haneef it becomes obvious that the Australian judicial system no longer deserves to be called just, or even democratic. A country that abuses its own secret service to set up a terror cell, and then sends a patsy for an ASIO suggested thought crime for 20 years in prison has lost credibility in pointing out flaws of other countries legal system.

Fingerpointing, however, is typical strategy of fascist regimes, which no longer need a personalised flaghead like Hitler, Mussolini or Stalin. It's a systematical denial of responsibility for the removal of civil rights in their own country. Germany didn't invade Poland, they just defended themselves against the threatening invasion, at least according to their own propaganda. Australia doesn't neglect international rights of refugees when patrolling their Northern water, they just 'defend themselves against a flood of illegal immigrants', at least according to their official propaganda.

Which is the second outrageous bit of hypocrisy in today's news. While the ADF engages in two illegal wars that produce masses of refugees, Australia deny these refugees shelter. Now that's fascism pure. Not only do they destroy the livelyhood of people in other countries, they do their best to make the lives of those who escaped from the terror that was brought into their home countries even more miserable.

All of that happens in a country with the lowest population density in comparison to other industrialised nations, where imbecile politicians actively prevent intelligent solutions that could easily extend the opportunity to host more people. Fear, violence and paranoia are the services provided by the government for its population, while public assets have been handed over to international companies. But like in Germany 80 years ago, the general population is distracted by governmental propaganda and outright lies, and as long as citizens wait for historians to declare their country as corporatist state they happily pay ever more taxes for their own imprisonment and withdrawal of civil rights.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Australia is an exemption. Globalisation, and the development of technology, make it now possible to pervert the idea of democracy on a planetary scale, which makes it even more important that citizens reclaim their rights locally, instead of deluding themselves in the false security of pointing their fingers to other 'evil' societies. Ignorance helped Nazi-Germany flourish, and it has helped Australia converting into a corporate controlled political puppetry. And more TV and less free internet access complete the process to reinstate this continent as massive prison.

The historian of a century or two hence will be able to produce evidence of the psycho-physical state of the peoples of the twenty-first century which will show that in this regard they have progressed little on the evolutionary plane beyond the man of the Stone Age, whilst, on the other hand, he will only have to to refer to human activities during the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan to convince the most sceptical that human beings of our time have developed a new form of devilry and brutality that surpasses the best efforts of pre-historic man.

Swift destruction of human rights

Scope of Application
Conduct Pertaining to Terrorism or Terrorist Financing
This Agreement applies to the obtaining and use of financial payment messaging and related data with a view to the prevention, investigation, detection, or prosecution of:
(a) Acts of a person or entity that involve violence, or are otherwise dangerous to human life or create a risk of damage to property or infrastructure, and which, given their nature and context, are reasonably believed to be committed with the aim of:
(i) intimidating or coercing a population;
(ii) intimidating, compelling, or coercing a government or international organisation to act or abstain from acting;
or
(iii) seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic, or social structures of a country or an international organisation;
(b) A person or entity assisting, sponsoring, or providing financial, material, or technological support for, or financial or other services to or in support of, acts described in subparagraph (a);
or
(c) A person or entity aiding, abetting, or attempting acts described in subparagraphs (a) or (b).

Have a look at paragraph (a)(ii). Compelling the government to act or abstain from acting is now terrorism. Protesting against wars in Afghanistan or Iraq? Terrorism. Protesting to make politicians accountable for their failings? Terrorism. Asking the government to end the Intervention? Terrorism. Asking the government to abstain from internet censorship? Terrorism. Protest against environmental rape such as Tasmania deforestation? Terrorism.

Politicos from the US, EU, Japan and Australia agreed on this declaration, which makes any form of civil movement (trying to compel governments and corporations to act responsibly) an act of terrorism. Even worse, anyone involved in organising a rally, the rental services providing PA's and transport, poster printers and distributors, stage hands, caterers, etc all can be treated like terrorists according to paragraph (b).

The war on citizens is it an advanced stage, now the US, Japan, EU and Australia join their efforts in criminalizing democratic methods. You might want to invest in Serco, one of the 'public' private partners that runs many of Australia's internment camps, among other public services. Or talk to your neighbor about ways to get rid of a fascist government without military intervention. Or dream on about living in a democratic state. Or follow your orders without thinking. Or distract yourself with sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Or hope for an alien intervention to stop global corporatism. Or taking more responsibility for your action. Or do what you want.

Rules don't need to make sense to be enforced. Welcome to the corporatist 21st century, the post-democratic era.

Other perspectives



The police force with more legal rights to abuse citizens than any police force in Nazi Germany is pissed off. Unlike in Nazi Germany, they cannot yet protect their citizens from outrageous opinions provided by enemy propaganda on the internet. How on earth does one of a billion Indians dare to ridicule the moral superiority and integrity and heroism and holiness of Victoria Police?

According to Victorian law, all citizens are potential suspects and will be treated as such. Of course, this likens them rather to the Gestapo than to the KKK, but let's face it: Racism is deeply ingrained into the white Australian culture.

Australia's history starts with the First Fleet, although the genocide of the indigenous population is still part of government policy. The Intervention tries to wipe out traces of the first cultures that lived on this continent, creating a retroactive 'terra nulla'.

Diversity is the arch-enemy of tyranny, so the first advise to any potential immigrant is to 'assimilate'. The open arms that embraced (or rather the fists that punched) newcomers indeed fostered a multi-cultural Australia: Being pseudo-english-american isn't appealing to many, which helped conserving some of immigrants cultural inheritances.

Unless you're Michael Jackson, you cannot change the colour of your skin, which limits the amount of potential assimilation. As social beings, humans need contact, and when the 'dominating' group has only minor interest in integrating newcomers, minority 'ghettos' florish. Indians hang out with other Indians, Vietnamese with other Vietnamese, and so on. Not as a general rule, just as more probable choice.

Outbreaks of individual violence don't surprise in a society that cherishes and uses violence abundantly. Australian military contributes to death and destruction, ASIO sets up patsies to justify more police state, the courts go in line and send people for thought crimes in jail. Even starving refugees, from conflict zones Australia is immediately involved, on their vessels on sea sounds appealing to many Australians.

There is something wrong with this cartoon. The symbolism is a bit mixed up. The general message: Watch your police holds more than true. Democracy does no longer exist in a police state.

Pirouette

The first decade has passed by
and I cannot stop to wonder why
it's still the old momentum
that haunts the new millennium.

Technology has progressed,
not only for the best -
surveillance and prison industry
thrive best on human misery.

Sinister forces do their destructive work,
not just since planes crashed in New York.
What is now known as freedom and democracy
only disguises the fascist corporate reality.

Will I see the next revolution
of conscious human evolution?

Climate change or consciousness change?

I freely admit that maybe I spend too much time writing about Climate Change, reflecting the popularity of this fear-meme and reacting to the overload of propaganda in all forms of media. The chemtrails season has restarted, another obvious reminder that no matter how much I would rather not interact with this meme and its manifestations, it affects my daily life.

Like any fear-meme it traps lots of energy in the mind to engage in a lost battle. The denier try to protect themselves from paying for the other sides paranoia, the fearmongerers feed their fear even more by failing to convince the other side of 'scientific truths'.

Meanwhile, our dominators can rub their backs for another cheap trick to distract from their parasitic existence. Our species is relatively young, and most likely only for a short period infested by the meme of government. It's ability for fast meme creation and distribution contributed to its evolutionary survival. It's easy to forget our natural inheritance in man-made environments. Other forms of life are mostly pests or pets, some foods successfully disguise any origin of formally living matter.

The currently dominant evolutionary strategy, being a ruthless master of this planet, mirrors this disassociation from life. This has not only destroyed other species and ecosystems, it also contributes to an increasing level of insanity within our own species. Obesity, autism, allergies, death by suicide, death by violence, schizophrenia, fear-related disabilities blossom in the 21st century.

So if mankind acted as one organism, interested in general health of it whole self, what challenge would need tackling first? Global warming?

Mankind has experienced some different climates in its about 200,000 years presence on this planet. Our adaptability created colourful varieties of how to live together in all sorts of environments, from tropical forests via scorching deserts and moderate climates to arctic regions. As traveller we might experience this amazing fact for ourselves, yet we might realise at the same time our own inability to survive under conditions which differ too much from our usual habitat.

Even though our planet would change its face when some of the current horror scenarios become reality, mankind would have a fair chance to survive. Whether I could still publish a blog, or if the rising sea levels and so on would destroy human global communication infrastructure I don't know. The world game would certainly change, maybe even to the better. If enough artefacts survive the cataclystic climate catastrophe, maybe the next generations fight off governments better, and enjoy sustainability instead of manic power games.

A future with these changes would be a motive for action today. But there's much more urgent action needed, to stop wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Chechnya, Tibet and countless other places. The amount of physical and psychological damage produced right now exceeds most likely the current capacity of worldwide healers of all kinds, the amount of teaching capacity required to resocialise politician, bankers, bureaucrats and other parasiticly feeding humans is not there yet either.

If we'd compared the evolution of mankind to the development of a human being, it would be just about the age for kindergarten. Don't be fooled by the lack of expression, the emotional game play looks just the same. The most favorite toy is oil, unfortunately it's not a harmless sand pit squabble but the end of the current human existence for millions.

The collective human body undergoes some chemo-therapy right now, and invasive surgery is next on the list. Once the cancer government is gone, healing can commence.

I can't promise that our climate won't kill us once we stop killing each other. I call it hypocritical to want to save the planet's life and do nothing to stop the useless daily deaths.

Consciousness (or just personal responsibility) are not yet part of the political and economical game that produced this crisis-meme. A carbon tax for carbon based life demonstrates the level of unconscious sanity politics suffers from.

Merry Kill-mas

The world has changed on 9 11 -
it has turned into a fascist heaven.

Soon, the coalition of the willing
started their useless killing
with an incredible haste
to dispose their nuclear waste.

Life has gotten so much rougher
with generations bound to suffer
while the spy agencies dragnet
extends to the whole planet.

Reason has lost its place
as motivator for our race
it all went terribly wrong
since only fear moves us along.

War is just temporary insanity
and will not last until infinity,
yet blind trust in war government
prolongs this cruel predicament.

Human rights no longer count,
the prison industry profits abound.
You have to be real brave
not to become the state's slave.

The prize of freedom is vigilance,
but it's less sexy than ignorance.
Lulled into a virtual reality
individuals enjoy lots of cruelty.

Fascists are in power again,
and it drives me insane -
yet it solved a personal mystery,
whether we're doomed to repeat history.

O, how much I'd love to hear
people speaking up without fear.
