Criminals at the top: It’s high time for accountability

international / social/political / opinion/analysis

In view of recent socio-economic and political history the title hardly requires elaboration. Nevertheless, prior to stating the obvious I would recount an experience from my student years.

During the course of a lively tutorial debate, someone stated, ‘it’s obvious’ – and ‘it’ was! However, the rigours of uni demanded proof, supporting evidence and references. I will never forget the response from the astute but unorthodox student; “to prove the ‘sky is blue’ is difficult, as it requires the challenger/sceptic to undertake certain actions to satisfy the challenge of ‘furnishing’ proof. In this instance I would simply ask the sceptic to lift his chin and take a good bloody look out the window at the blue sky!” The point being the onus is shared!

But to the current CRISES plaguing the world today.

After almost a decade of thorough incompetence and criminality, which has resulted in the first civilian holocaust of the new century, it is indeed high time to HOLD THE PERPETRATORS ACCOUNTABLE!

The crimes of the Bush, Blair, and Howard governments – the original coalition or willing criminals – must not go unanswered for obvious reasons, not the least being the fabric of civilised society has been severely compromised. The crimes committed by these characters equals in scale, horror and consequences, those of the most heinous villains in history. Today’s perpetrators, regardless of social ‘stature,’ simply cannot remain unpunished.

Millions of innocent civilians killed is mass murder; waterboarding is torture; violent secessionists in the Balkans and Central Asia are terrorists, the list goes on. However, ALL the major crimes of the new century are related and can be traced to Transnationals, Oil Companies, the Banker/Financier elites of Wall St. and the puppet regimes they control.

Referring again to the introduction, I would suggest that the onus of forcing corrupted State Institutions to once again serve the interests of the people be ACTIVELY SHARED BY ALL.

The same nefarious forces are currently engaged in subterfuge to draw attention away from the major crimes committed by them and their lackey governments. How many times have you heard the two contenders for the presidency, Obama and McCain, demand that the crimes of the previous regime be investigated and the guilty held to account? Not so much as a peep from either camp, for very good reason, they are both bought and supported by exactly the same forces that placed Bush & Co. in power; the same forces responsible for the first holocaust of the century and the current economic nightmare!

U.S. elections are a FRAUD, as are criminal Wall St elites and the Corporations that manage our ‘democracies’ – for fuck’s sake – if you require proof a wealth of information exists in the public domain including on this site, ‘lift your chin.’ BUT please remember the onus for action is SHARED and YOU must act in your own interests and in the interests of the broader community. The poisonous status quo has resulted in the current crisis and mayhem around the globe!

Would you fall prey to a FARCE yet again and support either Obama or McCain?

A few good men and women of integrity require your support; reject the charade of the Obama-McCain two party race; arrest known criminals and hold them ALL accountable. Restore the principles enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights; undo the despotic, totalitarian damage and remove the monuments of evil (Gitmo) and heal the nation!

Never forget that those who take most must return most in order to maintain equilibrium, equity and fairness; financial ‘blow-outs’ cannot occur in equitable environments!

The sky is blue after all!

Peace to you all.

We are One.
