Hi Indyvidual,

I think that the knowledge of people is becoming more specialised. I also believe that knowledge will be preserved to an extent that civilisation will be able to recover from catastrophes.

What amazes me with the Voice is how little regard some people have for the principle of equality as a foundation of democracy. What amazes me more is that the same people are okay about violating that principle by bestowing democratic privilege on the basis of racial heritage. But any harm that might come from the Voice is nothing compared to the damage being inflicted by pursuing renewable energy. It wont be as bad as Sri Lanka going organic, but it will not be nice.

Fester,
Nothing to argue about your statement !

Hamas is a terrorist organization, which is murdering, raping, and taking hostages of innocent civilians. So far over seven hundred civilians murdered, and we have celebrations on the streets lauding the events of Hamas as heroes. Anthony Albanese visited a Mosque on the weekend to encourage them to Vote YES, their response was, "We know what it is like to lose our homelands to colonizers". We will vote YES, then on the next day we have this same Muslim group celebrating the death of citizens of Israel many Israelis attending a concert. These are the cancer to our civilized way of life.

A controversial Islamic cleric who celebrated Hamas’s attack on Israel at a Rally in Lakemba on the Weekend recently spoke at Muslim community event alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi is supporting the rise of Hamas and their agenda to destroy Israel.

Our leaders will take us all to war if they so choose.
- And there isn't anything any one of us individually can do about it.
You only have to look at what Herman Goering said.

>>We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction.

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."<<

- War is diplomacy by other means,
Many get rich off it, and many die.

Just wait until they kick off this war with China.
The chess pieces are already being moved into position in preparation.
Then there will be death and destruction on a scale unimagined.

US and allies V's Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
- That will make this look like a pubfight after the footy.

'Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi is supporting the rise of Hamas and their agenda to destroy Israel.'

Is that what the senator said! or what you say was said?

"US and allies V's Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
- That will make this look like a pubfight after the footy."

Possibly,
For the main part the EU attitude will be, 'this has nothing to do with us. and ask the US to remove it's bases lest they become legitimate targets.
NATO will be looking for sustainable support and not quite sure where it's at as it's not a self sustaining entity.
Ukraine is yesterday
The US will push the UK in assisting and dragging Australia and Canada in with it, NZ will likely go neutral as will majority of the South Pacific.
South Korea & Japan will have the option of stay out of it or get hit by NK
The US will have 4 areas of main concern and cannot cover all.
Israel will be the first to go.
And seeing as the process has already started and coming to a head within six months
Australia will do what it always does, wait for divine intervention but this time stay at home.
And to guarantee a cohesive consensus will need a "YES" vote to avoid further marginalization.
