Lest we forget

As the police state continues it's witch hunt of student protesters, there are growing calls to re-muster and continue the fight against the vile reforms to higher education. Lest we forget that we are being ruled by a government with no mandate, elected on less than 20% of the population, elected without the votes of those who they are punishing the most. How cruel it is to complain about the direct action of the students, when those who will be affected had no say at the election (they were too young to vote), and who have been so sorely betrayed by the democratic system we once so loved. Lest we forget that we are being dictated to by a cabinet of millionaires, individuals with little experience of the real world, and no kind heart at the center of their cold forms. Lest we forget that it was not Labour, but the banks, who bankrupted Britain. Lest we forget that the Eurozone crumbles because the banks are collapsing. Lest we forget that it is the poor, the vulnerable, and the disenfranchised, who are being punished, whilst the wealth donors of bankrolled the intellectual anesthetization of the electorate are doing very comfortable thank you very much. Lest we forget that private debt dwarfs public debt by more than £4 to £1, even though the government is now bigger than the private sector. Lest we forget 1929, when the Great Depression in America was aggravated as the government tried to cut their way out of trouble. I'm sure it strains them to dangle so perilously off the cliff, but cutting the rope now will only provide temporary relief, and spark contagion in the long term. Lest we forget that the government is cutting corporation tax, writing off Vodafone's entire £6bn tax bill, and paying off their wealthy supporters, whilst they are jacking up regressive taxes to hit the poor, the students (future wealth creators), and the disabled.

It is really time that people stood up to this oppressive regime and kicked it out of office. Because if they damage our futures, we'll damage their economy. It is also time that people woke up to the fact that as long as we keep voting for frauds, all you will get is dishonesty in return. The average person remains clueless to what is really going on. They assume, logically, that paying off debt is good. But what about the fact that if we paid off all our debts their would be no money, since it is all lent at interest (money that doesn't exist) by the banks. What we are seeing in Europe is the big "call in", with the Markets seeking to bleed off money that they lent/created into existence. So lest we forget where our money really comes from. Also, lest we forget that money, and wealth, are not the same thing. Wealth can only be achieved by the sustainable use, and re-use of the materials and fuels that drive our economy, but lest we forget that for too long have governments plundered wealth in pursuit of money. When we think about this analysis, it becomes evident that in actuality, we are really witnessing a conflict between wealth and money. The problem is is that there is not much "wealth" left. Natural resources, and fuels such as oil, are quickly passing the point of maximum production, they are, in other words, "peaking". So what is going on, is governments, and the banking system, are colluding to drive down demand with tough austerity packages, in order to capture all the remaining wealth for themselves.

We must fight to stop this emerging conspiracy in favour of a more equitable distribution of what we have left, and a more sensible program of conservation and efficiency to replace current market forces, which depend upon economic inefficiencies to expand the economy and create jobs to pay of excessive levels debt which the banks created to trap us into the cycle. You see, it's not government debt we need to worry about. The ticking time bomb is really debt in the private sector, and the widely misunderstood idea of "ecological debt". Look it up...
