'Where would we be without a media like the ABC'

far more balanced and free speach encouraged. Don't forget Murdoch backed Rudd. Shows how foolish he can be also.

I believe my Steve101 reading on the ideas of propaganda has not been understood, and correctly responded to.

Having read replies, repliers are adding to the problem I am criticising.
By merely talking about, writing about for others to read, the more people read and hear propaganda the more propaganda becomes true.

The reading was about not believing everything people read and hear from the media to be true. Yet people believe because they understand what they believe to be true.

Embarrassing stories are believed because as children at school, teachers embarrassing other children dramas were real. Adults having forgotten school, remember quick responses to believing embarrassing stories. The media are aware of the love for embarrassing stories and place embarrassing stories in political stories.

The same problem exists where people believe priests are actually speaking by praying to god. The more priests pray to god, the more people believe a god must exist.

The next reading, a reading typed out weeks ago, should provide ideas that the media realise that faith is blind.

I'd like to explain (not review) the animation movie “Rise of the Guardians”. Aside from the normal evil verse good battle for power, in between the fast moving chase scenes the general conversation between the child imaginary: Santa-claws; The Sand Man; Jack Frost; Tooth Fairies; The Easter Bunny and the evil Boggy Man, if children stop believing in them, they loose they're magic powers.
In the movie “Merlin” staring Sam Neil, a pagan goddess wants to regain her powers over people. At the end of the movie, Merlin tells a crowd of people to turn away from the goddess and don't think of her. The pagan goddess is seen fading away.
A Simpson episode has Springfield's corporation large human and a bull billboard images and statues destroying the town. Lisa has a man singing a song telling people to “Just Don't Look”, the large figures stopped moving, falling to the ground.
Larger than normal size things can represent a god of whatever a thing is. Greek gods are big, shrinking down to human size when required. Australia's the big banana; the big pineapple; the big ram.
You may ask “am I Serious or what”.
There's a worth while message to be had to those whom are capable of understanding.
The trinity is the “father, the son and the holly ghost” or “holly spirit”. You could say ghosts become more real the more people believe in ghosts. My Encarta 1998 disc, on reading the trinity states, (as close a wording as I can remember) the father refers to church priests, the son refers to peasantry church followers and the holly ghost or spirit refers to the belief congregations have in the religion. I tried an Internet search on the trinity and found little to support the above.
My message being: The power of belief can have manipulating controls over people.
In the past, people in power could get away with doing bad things to populations, example: heresies and witchcraft, blaming god. Nowadays, when things go wrong, they can blame the economy.

We have too much faith in our own beliefs about politicians to actually have any real influence over government policy and laws.
To me what politicians are doing is no more than what priests do, that being politicians are putting on a performance to entertain and convince listeners.

When believed government controlled events turn bad, (economic collapse) propaganda believers are going to believe our not very intelligent dysfunctional politicians are partly responsible, yet, you get what you pay for, not thinking of alternative causes.

Seven years after 2008 GFC, is it time for another probable fake collapse.

Yes Jackson was put on a pedestal by Abbott. Why is it what Abbott touches turns into a steaming hot pile of excrement. His judgment of human flesh is not very desirable, and now Dyson has dirtied himself with publicly signing up for a Liberal fundraiser. I wonder what his speech was going to be about, the mind runs rampant. I don’t know why the time delay for deliberations, surely the questions could have been answered on the day. I think it is more like time to write a speech, not admitting any wrong doing but in the interest of impartiality he believes it would be appropriate for him to step aside.

Oh ho ho what a scream, will Abbott ever learn to allow his colleagues to have a say in government matters instead of making decisions by himself. His fellow elected members must feel left out by Abbott’s self imposed position of self importance. How many failed captains picks have to happen until his workmates say enough is enough, we need a new leader.

We have had nearly two years of this particular style of government, which has been incredibly biased toward the rich end of town, and not to the liking of a great deal of the community. A trigger for a DD election has been supplied to the government, so why don’t they make use of it and put an end of the disquiet in the community.

For the present government to linger in its position is unfair to the welfare of Australia and its citizens. Investment is at a historic low, unemployment is rampant, consumer and business confidence is in the doldrums, an election needs to take place to clear the air and reset Australia on the path to prosperity and wellbeing for its citizens

When it turns out the heroines of the union movement also have feet of
clay then I think the staged uproar over Dyson makes me think that
if we have a LNP inclined Royal Commissioner it might be a good thing.
Or would you prefer a ALP inclined Royal Commissioner ?

Surely this whole operation is all about saving some union backsides !
