In order to put what is being done to us into perspective, it is important to understand the background: Imposing The New World Order.

From "A Century of War" by William Engdahl:

WELL BEFORE KARL MARX ever conceived of his notion of class warfare, British Liberalism had evolved a concept of a society polarised between what was termed the "upper classes"; and the "lower classes." The essence of the 19th century liberal free trade policies of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, which led to the abolition of the protective Corn Laws in England after 1846 and which opened the flood gates to ruinous cheap grain imports, led as noted earlier, to the predictable impoverishment of the greater majority of British citizens, and to the concentration of the wealth of the society into the hands of a small minority, the so-called "upper classes." The political philosophy of what was called British Liberalism was the justification for this economically inequitable process.

As the most influential American publicist of 19th century British Liberalism, the aristocratic Walter Lippmann defined this class society in a modern framework for an American audience. Society should, Lippmann argued, be divided into the great vulgar masses of a largely ignorant "public," which is then steered by an elite or a "special class," which Lippmann termed the "responsible men," who would decide the terms of what would be called "the national interest." This elite would become the dedicated bureaucracy, to serve the interests of private power and private wealth, but the truth of their relationship to the power of private wealth should never be revealed to the broader ignorant public. "They wouldn't understand."

More later ...

Continuing Engdahl -

The general population must have the illusion, Lippmann argued, that it is actually exerting "democratic" power. This illusion must be shaped by the elite body of "responsible men" in what was termed the "manufacture of consent." This was described by Lippmann several decades before Paul Volcker ever set foot in Washington, as the "political philosophy for liberal democracy." In its concept of an elite specialized few, ruling on behalf of the greater masses, modern Anglo-American liberalism bore a curious similarity to the Leninist concept of "vanguard party," which imposed a "dictatorship of the proletariat" in the name of some future ideal of society. Both models were based on deception of the broader populace.

More and more, following the turning point of the 1957 U.S. economic recession, the enormous power of a small number of international banks and related petroleum multinationals concentrated in New York defined the contents of an American "liberalism" based on adaptation of the 19th Century British Imperial model. The American version of this enlightened liberal model would be shaped by an aristocracy of money, rather than blue-blood aristocracy of birth. But increasingly, as a consequence of the economic policy decisions of the American East Coast liberal establishment - so called because its center of power was built around the New York finance and oil conglomerates - the United States became transformed.

America, once the ideal of freedom for much of the world, was transformed, step-by-step, into the opposite, and at a quickening pace during the 1970s and 1980s, while she retained a rhetorical facade of "freedom and liberty." The combined impact of the two staggering oil shocks of the 1970s and the resulting hyperinflation this set into motion, created, in effect, a new American "landed aristocracy" in which those who owned property suddenly saw themselves become millionaires overnight.

It is probably time that the skilled unemployed or skilled underemployed people formed a union to lobby for the application of laws that lead to the ability to give back to society, some of the benefits drawn from it, by the older generation. Many skilled unemployed are over fifty years old, and prematurely consigned to the scrap heap, or reduced to doing menial jobs at call centers and the like, in order to supplement the benefits drawn from the Social safety net. Others are retired and doing it tough without adequate super, and still others are the victims of crime, dodgy lending practices, and even dodgier finance brokers, ponzi schemes and such like.

The proposal that I would like to put into the forum, is that an online community be formed, with online recruitment and membership, throughout Australia, using a website, so that anyone who has a computer, free time, some sort of online skill, an email address and an Australia wide love of justice and honesty, may join together with other online like minded individuals, to form a strong and influential political movement. Names should be suggested, like the Skilled Unemployed Union, or such like, so that the membership is readily identified and identifiable. There are probably a million of us out there.

It is not envisaged that the movement be associated with either of the big political parties, but that it present views to the government of the day, wherever it is situated, with a view to making Australia a fairer and more just society.

We currently have in Australia a written Constitution but no way of ensuring its provisions are equally beneficial to all concerned. If you are at all interested, why don’t you email us at marygee78@yahoo.com.

The tools are all in the tool shed, but the online community needs to be mobilized to know where the tools are situated and how to use them. As Atlas said, give me a lever and a place to stand, and I will move the world. We should have a way of harnessing grey power, and our grey matter

If we see merit in the suggestion that we forms a Skilled Unemployed Union, the first thing we ought to organize is a letter writing campaign to Kevin Rudd. This can be done by snail mail, or by electronic communication on the Prime Ministers website.

We should say,

Dear Prime Minister,

I am skilled currently unemployed, and would like to pursue a career in law enforcement enforcing the laws made by the Labor Party while in government, but totally ignored by the last Liberal Government, and by the renegade State Labor Governments which exhibit all the characteristics of elements of the Liberal Party.

I would like to request that you abolish the exclusive elements of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 namely S 39 which allows a Judge to exclude ordinary people from the democratic process as members of a jury, a Liberal party enactment, and Order 46 Rule 7A Federal Court Rules which allows a Registrar and Judge to conspire to exclude people from participation in a Ch III court completely, on their own whimsy or fancy.

These parts of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 and Federal Court Rules are completely at odds with s 45 Trade Practices Act 1974, which bans exclusive dealing, but currently this quasi Liberal Party Corporation, will not abide the laws made by the Labor Party, or let them be enforced by people like myself.

The latest financial meltdown has exposed the folly of exclusive dealing, and when the Labor Party enacted the Crimes Act 1914 ( Cth) and Criminal Code Act 1995 ( Cth), they did not expect the Liberal Party even out of government to be able to frustrate the will of Parliament.

Please advise when we may expect some action on this very sensible request.

Yours faithfully.

Underemployed Joan or Jack.

There is a saying that originates in Scotland. God helps those who help themselves. Wags say God help them that gets caught. Skilled unemployed should take a leaf out of the book of Job. Write to the Prime Minister and help yourself. He can answer your prayer
