Leaders and leadership are not always the same : Comments

By Ray Kearney, published 24/10/2011

Great leadership is uncommon, but given the state of the world, at the moment more than uncommonly necessary.

Leaders are seen to be working in the interest of their followers above their own personal interests, and do what they say.

Juliar fails on both counts.

I doubt that any party in Australia recruits its members with the demand that they honour and obey the rules of their constitution that they have to provide to get the name of their party placed on the ballot paper for the elections. The consequence of this is that many members just throw their force into any decision that seems to satisfy their party’s desires at the time. There certainly is absolutely no thought for the plight of the wage earners, and unless these people stand up for themselves, they will be left in the same situation as those people in the oppressed nations around the world, and have to exert themselves probably brutily to achieve a proper recognition.

The true leaders in Australia are the corporate executive class. They and their lobbyists have disproportionate influence over our politicians.
Added to that, the media also have disproportionate influence over our politicians because of the choices they have with regard to what will and wont be published. The spin doctors of the politicians, pander to what will give the politician the prime tv time slot, or the headlines.
Marketing and public relations departments of the corporations also have alot to answer for, because of their brief to present their employers in the best light, leading to lies and disinformation about political, and corporate doings. Thus the public has never been more mislead, or misinformed, or poorly led.
Also added to the problem, is that it seems to be a certain type of person who is attracted to leadership. They tend to be narcissistic, with some aspects of psychopathy included. These personality traits alone make for poor leadership, as those who hold those positions, are self seeking, self aggrandizing, attention seekers, who will stop at little to gain self advantage.
Leadership positions should be subject to extensive psychological analysis, to weed out those types of people. The WHO assessment for psychopathy and narcissism would be a good start.

We keep discussing supposed enemies we know, ones we can see, that interact directly in our lives, but they are you and I. we also talk and act on the effect and not the cause. So many individual bandages are applied to fix the whole, but there is a SINGLE cause to the worlds plight and that is the European Banking Cartel, which comprises of a group of intermarried families that have been sustained by usury for over three hundred years.

This Cartel directs the World Bank, the IMF, and most of the U.N. NGO’s. This group runs the global monetary exchange, the stock markets, credit agencies and the American and Australian Federal Reserve, if we want credit we ask them. The Cartel introduced globalization and with it took manufacturing from one half of the world and employed it in another, they formalized the destruction of all the first worlds’ nation’s sovereignty by way of FREE TRADE agreements. We no longer have the right to protect local manufacturers from cheap imports, so we have no local manufacturers.

No leader from any nation will rise to save us from the European Banking Families; they control all, including the Left and Green organizations. But the realization is dawning over more people that their previous collective wealth is moving from them to big business, which are the European Banks. Since 2008 the banks in the US are the largest single private owner of real estate, the same banks that were bailed out by the taxes of the poor bugger who they foreclosed on. Such a scam, we are such fools and sadly not only we but our children will pay the price.

In closing if there is to be a savior, it will be us.
