From time to time, societies are "tested" to see how they react. A little "shock" is administered and the results carefully monitored, in the manner of a seismic survey.

Such seismic studies are the speciality of those who inform and advise government in our brave new world.

Take this little gem of an outcome from somewhere in Africa:

Radio broadcasts on August 8 (1998) from a government regional radio in the eastern town of Bunia monitored by the BBC called on the local population to use "a machete, a spear, an arrow, a hoe, spades, rakes, nails, truncheons, electric irons, barbed wire, stones, and the like, in order, dear listeners, to kill the Rwandan Tutsis."

On Wednesday the 12th, a local commander of the Congolese army called on Bunia residents to "take revenge" on the Rwandans and "massacre them without mercy."

Ah, the power of the humble wireless.

Always ask, cui bono, "who benefits"? .... and be careful what you wish for.

Chris Shaw,

Very Profound post.

Always ask, cui bono, "who benefits"?

Well, Viva Botany Vegas and desal my-sartorial-le-sands, who could it be?

Hellothere, you asked.

Case 1:

Lebanese youth found in Brighton Le Sands Sunday with baseball bats, no arrests made.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/vehicles-fitted-out-for-a-day-of-mayhem/2005/12/18/1134840742480.html

"About half an hour after that group had been taken away, the Herald observed police talking to at least four young men of Middle Eastern appearance in West Botany Street.

The police officers had confiscated two baseball bats but did not arrest any of the men."

This is after the new laws have been enacted, after all the commotion earlier in the week. Maybe they were just heading to a ball game?

Case 2:

Molotov cocktail throw AT POLICE in Sydney's south-west, no arrest made.

http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/police-use-new-powers-in-night-of-unrest/2005/12/16/1134676426499.html

"A molotov cocktail was thrown at police in "a disturbing incident" at Dickens Road, Ambarvale, south west of Sydney, about 10pm, he said.

"Police conducted a search of the area and located a number of other incendiary devices and what appeared to be stockpiled stones," Mr Owens said.

Although no arrests were made over that incident, two men, aged 24 and 23, were charged with making explosives with intent ot injure after police found seven molotov cocktails in a Cronulla unit, about 6pm."

Now surely the guy must have been fairly close to the police in order to have a shot at them with a molotov, why wasn't he chased down and arrested? This doesn't appear to have occurred in the context of a group riot of anything like that, the police should have tackled him, instead they've piss farted around and searched the area after the incident. Another example of softly softly policing, and the offenders get away with malicious violence directed at police officers (in Sydney's south-west).

Notice above Cronulla people with molotovs stored in their own home were arrested.

At least we can pressure for transparency in the police force. To lobby for an enquiry into reverse discrimination by the police force and Iemma (seeing as his seat is that of lakemba) is not to hard. Many cases of reverse discrimination have been won in the USA.

It’s just a matter of a petition.

What I find obscene is the “peace pact” between the Comancheros leb majority bikie gang (Milperra Massacre) and the Bra Boys… was it a case of “peace our way or we kill you” the usual muslim solution

No Swiki,
You can only asses a man by his conduct, the ranting he wrote was entire junk, so he even admitted on his death bed.
It is more intriguing to read his correspondence to Papers and friends, Enemies also:

Here is the Karl Marx glossary link; Official not opinionated.

http://www.marxists.org/glossary/index.htm

Karl Marx at the time was dismissed as a Psychiatric case; the severity of his condition is the end result of his work.
The other links you provided are a direct result in part, Marx and Engle’s fascination with Spinoza, as well as other such Surrealist philosophers. He to have some problems.

Communism and Socialism is a direct form of near subliminal messaging, simply put; preparing you to be looted of your life and thought and possessions: that was the sub-text not mentioned. Odd, exact thing transpired in the great depression of the Thirties. Where did the money and employment go?

Looters in control- Public welfare are the express train that run you over. Elite Looter welfare is what it meant.
Retrospectively History tells us that, Looters kill economies, Russia, Nth Korea, China, aaha? It is coming.

All- you have commented on Marx and Rancitas. You say others are "conditioned" and yet you pump out all these websites and positioned blogs. It suggests to me that perhaps you are conditioned.
Now why don't you comment on Marx's concepts re: historical materialism, dialectical materialism, his ideas on the ideological and so on. I suggest Kamenkas "The Portable Karl Marx". These (Marx's) philosophical writings can be quiet helpful in understanding the forces within our society.
For instance: De Bottom says: "For Marx, it is the ruling class of a society who will be largely responsible for disseminating ideological beliefs, which explains why, in certain societies where a landed class controls the balance of power, the concept of the inherent nobility of landed wealth is taken for granted by the majority of the population (even by many of those who lose out under ther system), while in mercantle societies it is the achievements of entrepreneurs which dominate citizens' visions of success. In Marx's phrase, "The ruling ideas of every age are always the ideas of the ruling class."
Yet these ideas would never come to rule if they were seen to rule too forcefully. The essence of ideological statements is that, unless our politcal senses are developed, we will fail to spot them. Ideology is released into society like a colourless, odourless gas. It is embedded in newspapers, advertisements, television programmes and textbooks (Rancid note: also All-'s websites) - where it makes light of its partial, perhaps illogical or unjust, take on the world; where it meekly implies that it is simply stating, age-old truths with which only a fool or a maniac would disagree."

All-motivated commentators often attack Marx's ideas because it steers folk from seeing their true situation - it can, ironically, empower the individual. One of the first things a truly critical thinker does is discard their ideology. Shock jocks don't do that.
