A Convoy of Fools: The moronic masses - International Social/Political

This paper is the tragic point of departure into the reality of the ‘air head’. The genus of moron, dummy, fuckwit, birdbrain, etc, add infinitum – notice, there are no shortages of descriptive terms for this extremely common type.

It usually starts with a media campaign that is developed and then made social reality, transported on the word of experts, specialists, people in authority and those we are supposed to respect, trust and admire; people that WE place in positions of immense responsibility and influence. What action is to be taken when these people prove themselves to be inept, incompetent, corrupt or worse, thieves, liars and murderers? WE remove them, simple! To whom is the writer referring? Could it possibly be G W Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, Rove, Cheney etc etc; or how about Blair or Howard – ALL proven lying, murdering, criminals!

An example other than the screaming examples of the criminal war in Iraq and the prospect of nuclear warfare in Iran, would be the little money making venture of a pharmaceutical company in which ‘quite by accident’, Rumsfeld had shares. Yep, the manufacturers of “Tamiflu”. Did we all notice how various scientists and health ministers ‘spontaneously’ emerged from their respective corners (in unison) and started creating ‘moderate’ alarm over the not very unusual odds of a virus jumping from one species to another? Readily available information immediately exposed this venture as profiteering, as the nature of a mutant virus would have been unknown and therefore available remedies were unlikely to be effective. But a ‘moderately’ hysterical public ‘rushed’ all the available supplies of Tamiflu. The immediate effect was that the bank accounts of a few became swollen with a monetary ‘infection’. There is no need to labour the point, or should the gullibility of the masses be emphasised? You tell me!

Today (NOW) we sit with our thumbs up our arses while Bush, Blair and Howard to name the obvious criminals, remain in contempt of the people, democracy and the Law. More ‘Tamiflu’ anyone?

Think about it for a few seconds and try to waken from your stupor – all you have to do is remove these criminals from power – it is not a big ask – do it together – its been done before, many times – the law is on your side. Provision exists in all democratic systems to remove criminals from government; the illegal invasion of Iraq and the associated deception perpetrated on the public is evidence enough – but there is an abundance of further evidence if revision is required.

The next time someone tries to raise grievous alarm or create hysteria, think ‘chicken' fever while you take a good long look in the mirror. Then try and make an independent decision.

Postscript:
The writer has recently been informed that certain regulatory authorities require the 'assistance' of the Cleaves editorial committee – sour grapes no doubt!

China promises not to utilize Australian uranium for nuclear weapons; do I believe that?

Australian soldier serving in Iraq accidently shoots himself in the head with his hand gun; do I believe that?

Mirror, mirror on the wall .....?

people always blame their leaders to avoid the truth. would we have the leaders we have today if people weren't feeble-minded cowards?

look in the mirror is right.

Sitting here with our thumbs up our bums?
Your little rant acheives nothing and adds nothing to the social discourse that is not already widely known.
No reasearch or considered opinion, just another rant.
Geoge Bush is vile? My God I didn't realise!
Cheney is a manipulating capitalist arsehole? I'm learning sooo much.
If these matters do get up your nose then engage in the discouse in a positive manner, don't stand outside throwing stones at both sides.
Do a little research. Report on something happening in your community. Or even do something positive yourself.
So many swear words just turn everyone off.
We can all swear, but obviously, only some of us can think.

glad it offended you Moylan -- i just love didactic types who assume the position of telling everyone else how to behave -- jobs going at the Whitehouse -- or perhaps the Catholic priesthood -- you're a walk-up start! The door ain't closed mate -- just do better next time. Btw, they don't call me 'dingo' for nothing -- I assume my rights as a wild anarko dog -- definitely not genteel dinner table company.
