The Sons of Cain

It is appropriate that the home of democracy reminds us never to tolerate oppression, violence and corruption from non-representative minority governments that have subverted the democratic process and stolen power. We are all reminded of the price extracted when we fail to be vigilant; the murder of a 15 year-old boy in Greece by the reviled authorities and the one million innocent civilian dead in Iraq are consequences of allowing criminals to seize power and failing to act swiftly to remove them. The horrendous death toll inflicted by America in Iraq is the result of OUR INACTION in the face of FLAGRANT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

Few could say they were surprised by the murdering and pillaging activities of Cheney/Bush Co. notwithstanding the number of innocents killed by this homicidal, thieving regime staggers most civilised people. However, we should never forget that the incompetence and criminal lies of the neocons were exposed almost immediately after Bush took office. The price today of our inaction is the blood of innocents on all our hands, including -- for God’s sake -- thousands of innocent CHILDREN!

Reaction to the murder of a Greek youth was swift and sustained; the result is that non-representative forces in Greece have been forced to retreat. Changes in government are inevitable and Greece may be a better democracy as a result of the active participation of its people in preserving their democracy!

Contrast the swift action of the Greeks with the servility of Americans – tragic! Why do some people tolerate brazen crime and corruption from their leaders and allow themselves to be exploited and others do not? There are many answers to this question but all must necessarily include that single human quality crucial to any answer, GUTS, or the lack thereof!

Today, MINORITY power elites are responsible for not only the collapse of the global financial system but also every criminal war of plunder and territorial appropriation since the fragmentation of the Balkans and the theft of the Serbian province of Kosovo, which was a prelude to the illegal invasion of Iraq and the sorry state of the warring world today!

The methods these nefarious minorities employ to achieve their ghastly ambitions include mass murder, kidnapping, torture, denial of all human rights, illegal surveillance, disregard of sovereignty, collusion with organised criminals, and the wholesale corruption of legal institutions on the home and international fronts -- the ICC is a good example.

The International Criminal Court remains completely blind to the MANY HEINOUS war crimes committed by Americans! How is it that a supposedly independent court has selective vision regarding crimes against humanity? Presently, the highest profile personality on trial is the Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic, who is accused of the murder of 8,000 Bosnians during the American and German instigated Balkan wars.

All sane people view the murder of a single human being as a horrendous crime, yet courts around the globe ignore the Bush regime’s orchestration of the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent deaths of over 1,000,000 (one million) innocent civilians! How is this possible? In two words, CORRUPTION and COWARDICE! The courts legitimise the most heinous criminals by simply ignoring their crimes but pursue other lesser criminals with zeal, as if to make up for their ‘oversights!’ But ‘we the morons,’ are not supposed to notice or question the glaring CONTRADICTIONS and HYPOCRISIES staring us all in the face – give me a break!

Perhaps we tolerate such overt criminality from our leaders because they condescend to leave us the crumbs and scraps from their ‘tables;’ but are we really so down-trodden and suppressed that we would eat shit rather than eliminate the scum that HAVE NO LEGITIMATE CLAIM TO RULE? Consider the mess of the global economy and those that caused it; or the mayhem of wars sold to us (by Murdoch) as “cakewalks.” GUTS, O yea, we have thimbles full -- for fuck’s sake!

The reprehensible, murdering scum alluded to above are known to the world as Bush & Co, Blair, Howard and their cohorts in crime. They CONTINUE to evade the LAW and JUSTICE not because they are of ‘superior intelligence’ -- we need not quote the moronic statements of Bush, Rumsfeld or Wolfowitz to emphasise the point, or cite the now infamous Australian natural gas sale to China (for a pittance) by servile flea, John Howard; or should we mention the rape and theft of Australia’s water and other resources by Transnationals – NO, we need not due to the fact WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THE UGLY, BLOODY, TRUTH BUT WE CHOOSE TO REMAIN PASSIVE -- for no good reason – AND WE CONTINUE TO EAT SCRAPS FIT FOR DOGS, while our criminal leaders treat us with the contempt WE DESERVE. Take another look at Greece and Thailand, you gutless wonders!

The latest example of our bravery is the not so strange case of Obama winning the presidency and then brazenly and contemptuously betraying everyone that voted for him. He probably derived the most satisfaction shitting in the collective public face – the shame of it!

Obama’s traitorous backflip/reversal from his previous populist position is astonishing for the fact he did it without the slightest regard for those that voted for him. “Change we can believe in,” for fuck’s sake! Instead of revolt and holding them ALL to account we sit here chewing on our shit sandwiches meekly accepting Obama’s traitorous reversal of policies after winning office. It’s just another example of our collective spinelessness, a characteristic minority ruling elites BANK on!

However, all is not lost (it never is). Europeans and Asians have united in their respective nations to demonstrate and force criminal elites from power. Minority criminal elites fear one thing above all else, a united population that seeks equity, accountability and JUSTICE – and so it goes for Greece and Thailand.

However, it seems that one of the most servile and apathetic populations in the world is finally stirring from its national stupor and complacency! The ‘who gives a fuck, she’ll be right, mate,’ Aussies, have had enough of incompetent government, disparity and inequity from the private sector. Workers across the nation are about to embark on campaigns of Industrial action to close the yawning disparity in wages – and about fuckin’ time, you useless pricks!

The lackey Rudd government is in no position to prevent the people seeking a, ‘fair suck of the sav!’ [Look it up if you’re not familiar with Oz slang!]

Ed Husic, Telstra workers’ representative, stated that previous talks and negotiations with management have failed and that the company will soon face Industrial action if it continues to deprive workers of fair wages. "Telstra’s CEO secures a neat $13.4 million pay packet with little fuss but the workers we represent ... have to struggle to get a fair agreement, and that's not right or fair," said Husic in a recent interview.

Personally, I favour hanging insider bankers (Allan Moss) and criminal CEOs (BHP) from light poles, as existing punishments seem not to deter white collar criminals in the least. However, I could be convinced to take a more moderate approach if private sector criminals displayed more remorse and contrition for their crimes. Perhaps volunteering for unpaid weekend community work over extended periods (minimum 10 years) may assist in convincing the public they are truly reformed characters. Gestures such as these may reduce the severity of future responses from the public!

There are also reports from the 'United States of Servility' that workers in Chicago are demanding fair treatment – wonders never cease! After receiving $25 billion from the public bailout package, Bank of America withdrew funding from a Chicago fittings factory, which effectively shut it down. Disgruntled workers, denied severance pay and entitlements staged a rather meek sit-in – storming the offices of insider Bankers and Corporate directors yields far more satisfying results! However, it seems that some progress has been made in obtaining worker entitlements. We shall see!

Nevertheless, we are confident the ‘light pole’ solution will become the universally accepted norm in dealing with corporate criminals in the near future – the truth behind the scandalous dealings of insider elites cannot be hidden indefinitely!

We can’t wait!

Alexandros Grigoropoulos, shot dead!
