Weapons for Peace

The Weapons Industry tells us that they are fighting for peace.

The weapons industry however, exists to steal your taxes by keeping the world at war.  Whether you want to believe it or not a war can and does get organised, at any time the weapons industry from, the big end of town, needs one.

Sadly wars are going on all the time but your normal media will never tell you about that because much of the media is controlled by the merchants of war, or their mates.

In ancient Roman times to keep the populace ignorant and ‘happy’ they would give them bread and circuses.  Today to keep you nice and ignorant and ‘happy’, you have: Sport, Computer Games, Shopping, then more shopping, Soap Operas, Sitcoms, Religion and then Junk Food, laced with chemical colours and flavourings to keep our children troublesome.

If any of these suggestions upset you, then perhaps it’s time you grew up; all of this information is in the public domain.

Three very short stories:

Never forget that they are all fighting for peace and they have been doing it for centuries.  Of course you would never be sucked in would you?  Do the words: God, Country, Freedom, Flag etc not ring a bell?  Well they should, because they are the most common words that their mates, that means ‘selected politicians’ have been using for years to suck you in to the ‘patriot game’.

Have you not noticed that the manipulators of the patriot game never show any genuine interest in humanity or planet earth?  Have you not also noticed that corporate control of the world’s resources is passed off as ‘free enterprise’?

Corporate control is becoming exactly the same as what ended up to be passed off as communism; an obvious failure because of human nature.  Is it not time that we stopped pretending?  Free enterprise means: - responsible businesses run by humanity, not giant corporations and the merchants of war.

Here are just a few sites on the issue of the weapons of war and the industry and the people behind them.  Although much on this page has to do with the US, remember that they are by no means the only ones responsible.

Responsible are many other respectable countries like: Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia etc; and now it looks like Australia might be starting to get into the cash crop of the weapons industry as well.  Oh yes, weapons are a great money spinner and we use them to fight for peace.

Nuclear weapons industry and radioactive waste clean-up contracts.
They make billions creating the problem then make billions cleaning it up but you will pay for the clean up with your taxes.  Their profits that they took from you to create the problem will not pay for the clean up; you will pay for that.
You are forced to pay for a problem that you did not want then you will pay to fix it. 		www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1316/is_n3_v24/ai_12088085

Read about Child Soldiers & Landmines

Have you noticed that your Prime Minister or President never show any genuine concern for the quarter million plus Child Soldiers presently abused on planet earth?  Is that not also terrorism?  Or don’t the kids count?

If you’d like to send a friendly letter to an Australian politician to ask for their opinion on anything, just click for an address below.
Politician’s Addresses



Politicians Addresses.
Please help by contacting or visiting your local politician, tell him/her what you think.
Politicians love to receive visits and short letters from you.
Politician’s Addresses and phone numbers.   (For: - Federal and State Governments)

Ten letters to a politician of no more than 30 to 50 words can be much more valuable than collecting 1000’s of signatures.  Your letters count because they are counted, and ten letters are seen as over a 1000 votes.

Politicians are actually busy people so never write long letters and only ever write about one issue per letter.  Letters should be polite, short, sweet and to the point.

Ask for a reply and when you get an answer that is nonsense send it straight back and ask them to address the issue and not send you another standard letter that had nothing to do with what you were writing about.
Remind them that you and your friends want to know who is worth voting for.
