Hi All4One,
I agree with the thrust of your post. in fact I generally agree with you.
The only thing which can short circuit this system which privatises profits and socialises debts is to let the thing go belly-up in a crisis. Of course that means intense short-term pain for everyone, but if economic meltdowns are inevitable, Then the super rich must lose as well. That is the conventional logic, but as we all have come to realise, it was perverted to favour the elite in 2008.
Abbott and Hockey are members of the ultra-conservative clique which deposed Turnbull who is (was) a moderate who was prepared to countenance real action against climate change, unlike the present naysayers. Abbott and Hockey's nearest political relatives are the US Neo-cons currently running US (and Australian) foreign policy. How absurd that we should hear about B1 bomber deployment in northern Australia before our own gov't spoke of it.
And Abbott says the U.S. Official "mis-spoke". Well, what the hell does that mean? It sounds to me like he spoke out of turn, I.e. Prematurely. Abbott has not denied the assertion in the statement. Weasel words. Abbott is the expert.
So, here is Australia in Lock-step with the intentions and plans of the American military industrial complex, the plaything of the global elite. We had better hope China and Russia, acting in concert, can crash this bloodsucking
System so that real reform at least gets a chance.
