It seems that the world hasn’t learned any lessons from
history. In essence, people don’t change
or at least the ego driven despot / meglamanics don’t. They pursue ‘whatever’ it takes to stay in
power and expand their self universe ignoring normal people who just bend and break. Yet, the useless talking heads, continue to
just talk.
On the 1st of September 1939 one meglamanic despot invaded
Poland. The talking heads were talking
and the world hid their collective heads in the sand. Millions died. Good result, eh?
Move forward 80 years and the world is once again refusing
to consider that we have at least two or three despots who are summarily bent
on killing millions to bolster their own egos.
Let me repeat, millions dead for no reason and we do nothing because we
as a collective don’t want to believe that such existential threats exist.
‘She’ll be right mate [said with a big smile and brain off], what do I care,
that’s in some place called Europe – ha ha’.
To quote philosopher John Stuart Mill, who
delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm
if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass
their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good
man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with
the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use
his mind on the subject.” Wow! And that
was 1867 which proves we have learnt zip.
With one idiot, Putin, destroying Russia including its
reputation by his brain dead ego driven actions destroying the lives of
millions of innocent people, the useless talking heads, talk, and continue to
talk. Look at me look at me, I am
talking. Dare to object inside Russia or
China or Nth Korea and you will be silenced as dissent from ‘the presidential ego’
is not acceptable. What does that one
fact tell the universe? How about lack
of reason, lack of humanity, lack of intelligence, lack of maturity, lack of
consultation and lack of empathy where respect is subjugated to personal ego. People suffer and die driven by bellicosity. Think the battle of Somme in 1916 where a
million died over a few miles of dirt.
Yet, the talking heads just continue to talk.
What to do?
How about conscripting Julie Bishop back to parliament as PM
to work with equals Peter Dutton and Josh Frydenberg to lead Australia toward
developing a spine. Power through international
respect for foreign affairs expertise, political savvy and individual strength.
How about, making the NT an Australian multi location and multi
nation hub for democratic ‘world peace games’ [eg – Aus, USA, Israel, NATO, UK,
France, et alia]. A combined military at crucial global location/s working
together as a force for peace and world order.
Say 200,000 troops with ALL associated hardware and weaponised software –
launch ready – led by that same multi nation group and not by an individual
despot. This would not be a war footing
but merely essential training of a deterrent ‘world’ force driven by respect
and law.
No going it alone for anyone but not just talking – doing –
ready to cripple aggressive behavior by any country which disrespects others sovereignty,
territory or human rights.
Nuclear proliferation was supposed to make all aggressors
think twice about self annihilation but that only works if all parties are free
of ego driven despots, all parties are similarly armed and all parties show a spine!
Then we can live in peace away from threats and power grabs. Back to economic competition through and by a
rules based system protecting everyone’s rights. Prosperity for all and respect as a God given
right for all.
