WELCOME TO THE MISSION PART 2

The understanding that we are all getting pushed onto the reservation begins to sink in. In response Occupy Melbourne has reiterated the long standing call from the First Nations members of this land for Treaty Business to finally be done. This has also been seen in the US with the world renkowned A.I.M joining with the local Occupy Movement in Denver and making its calls for First Nation justice. With members of the nearby fully sovereign Republic of Lakotah to offer guidance this Occupation could go on to be one of the great ones. Maybe Occupy Melbourne should become the first international 'body' to officially recognise the Republic Of Lakotah. As the latest Keiser Report so rightly says the push to shove us all on the Reservations is now well under way:

#OcccupyMelbourne

A STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY FROM THE TDA CREW WITH THE OCCUPY MELBOURNE ENCAMPMENT!

The following is why we at TDA personally intend to Occupy and does not necessairly reflect the views of everyone at the square. The Occupy Melbourne encampment is of course inspired and in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. However that does not necessarily mean ours is the same as the Wall St occupation although the spirit is the same.

Every one of us will be there for a different reason. There are commonalities of course but this is what is special about our modern civilisation. People of differing backgrounds, needs, desires and philosophies can live together in a pluralist society.

It would be disingenuous to lecture you on why you will be there. You have your reasons and your reasons are valid. The fact that we can stand together despite our differences is one of the biggest statements we can make. What is common to us all, is that we are not happy with the direction the Human Race and our societies are going. What is the cause of this is mismanagement from our law makers, elected and, unfortunately, unelected. What is at the root of this is how money is controlled and distributed through society.

This is not an issue of left and right. Whether you are a capitalist, a socialist, a unionist, a free market pragmatist or any other “-ist” you wish or do not wish to label yourself with, a City trader, a florist, a student, a tradesman, whoever you are, we can all agree that this system is broken.

1) The environment has been damaged to a degree that would break your heart.
Whatever your thoughts on Anthropogenic Global Warming surely all can see
that humanity’s impact on our biosphere is devastating.

2) Communities are breaking down with people pitted against each other rather
than rallying around each other. This is fostered by the system.

3) Mental health issues are on the rise and are at unexpectedly high levels in
our society. Look around you. Many people of all walks of life are suffering.

4) Household finances are under immense pressure, despite longer working
hours, with rising costs of living.

There is now undeniable evidence that there are forces acting in the world today that have no-one’s interests in mind but for those of a relatively few people. We can call these people the 1%. The 1% controls about 50% of the world’s wealth and therefore their opinions and philosophies can be far wider reaching and impacting than those of ours individually. This is why we will occupy the square, standing together with a common sense in the pursuit of a better world and to address the dynamics that have led humanity to this place in time. Big things have been achieved throughout history to afford us this sense of natural rights. We will not allow these rights to be taken from us in our time. So please

1) Do not look at each other in society for an enemy and a reason for the
world’s woes. Instead look together towards, what people refer to as, the
top, as this is where the dynamics on our society are constructed and
implemented.

2) Discuss together the issues that are important to you but if possible keep in
mind how your position would affect everyone else of differing needs and
desires around you.

3) Resist the people who would stand to benefit out of the hardships of others.

4) While you are in discussion, protect the conversation from attempts to divide
and conquer this movement. Instead embrace vigorous debate if it leads us
together, to a better solution.

The world has seen the Pirates return in the halls of banking and politics. They have been sinking our boats and plundering our loot for years. We are being taken on a regressive path towards a renewed system of Lords and Serfs. Let’s change that. Let’s live in a world in which the rising tide, borne of the human spirit, lifts all of our boats.

I am the 99% and I stand for a better, fairer, more equitable world for all of humanity.

Rogue States #1, 2, 3 - This is what a Rogue State looks like

First they came for the "moosies", now they come for their own, next they will come for you and me ... so I thought I'd say something ...

1# The Loss of the Rule of Law

We have unfortunately become pretty used to assassinations, extraordinary rendition, torture, illegal invasions of foreign countries etc. Now they have taken to assassinating their own. The President is apparently judge jury and executioner to their own people.



Check out this attempted explanation -




"... has a judge been shown ... ?"

"I don't understand"

"You said he is responsible ... is any evidence going to be presented?"

"Do you not see at all ... how a President asserting that he has the right to kill an American citizen without due process, and that he is not going to even explain why he thinks he has that right, is troublesome to some people?"

2# Protectionism and the Great Depression


And if starting a war with some "towel-head" country is okay in your book how about starting a trade war with CHINA! CHINA! YES! The country everyone tells us is keeping the global economy (and certainly Australia's) alive. At this time, in this global economy they have just voted in the US Senate to look at ways to penalise China for currency peg. The intention will be to slap tariffs on goods coming from China in magnitude determined by the US's view of the impact of the USD RMB FX rate, something which suited them for years. Are they insane? Have they not read a history book? Have they not heard of the GREAT DEPRESSION?



The most amazing line in this vid is Sen. Chuck Shumer -

"They use the rules of free trade when it benefits them and spurn the rules of free trade when it benefits them, and for years and years and years, Americans have grimaced, shrugged their shoulders, but not done anything effective to in large measure stop the Chinese pursuit of unfair mercantilism"

You are kidding us right?

3# Pariah State

The USA is a Pariah State. Apart from the treaties it breaks on regular occasions here are some more it won't even sign up to. I will classify them in terms of levels of disbelief -

[Greg the Bunny says: point of information Ferretous, some of them they signed but then that have to ratify them in the Senate before it enters the law]

[SockRatEz says: ... which they haven't done, so ...]


1) Really?

- Ottawa Treaty (the land-mine ban)
- Treaty on the Rights of the Child (only holdouts are the U.S. and Somalia)
- United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
- Convention on Biological Diversity
- Forced Labor Convention (I guess the Civil War was fought for naught)
- Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age to Marriage and Registration of Marriages
- Kyoto Accords (greenhouse gas reductions)
- UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
- Convention concerning Minimum Age for Admission to Employment

Oh and check this out -

- Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties

[SockRatEz says: yeah, no shit!]


2) You have to be kidding!


- Protocol to enforce the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention (vote was 178-1, the US the only holdout)
- International Criminal Court
- United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime
- Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
- Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty [prohibiting programs like "Stars Wars"]
- Protocol to enforce the Convention Against Torture
- UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
- Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, and Other Related Materials
- Code of Conduct on Arms Transfers (prohibiting sale of arms to human rights violators & aggressors)
- International Convention against the Recruitment, Use, Financing and Training of Mercenaries

3) No wait, are you fucking SERIOUS?

- International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings
- International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism.
- Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes Against Humanity

[SockRatEz says: well if they signed up to them, their entire foreign policy apparatus would have to be dismantled]

Just so that everyone is clear in their minds ...

THIS IS WHAT A ROGUE STATE LOOKS LIKE


[Greg the Bunny says: that looks like the USA]

[SockRatEz says: eh, yes, that's right Bunny]
