On Liberties and Freedom [Article]

What has become of our nation?

Civil liberties have become nothing more than simple luxuries that can be stolen at the whim of those at the wheel. What was once a crucial feature of a political manifesto has become a mere inconvenience. Taxation, crime and global influence has become the focus of all.

It seems that, for much of the nation, there is little to be said of civil liberties. These were ideas that were considered in the past tense. It is argued that we must 'sacrifice our liberties in order to protect the majority', as was once seen in the publication of the Terrorism Act 2000.

The Government is violating our liberties and manipulating the English judicial system to make it fit values which are hidden behind closed doors. A prime example of this is seen in the House of Lords, unelected representatives of a deceptive government. Lords are nothing more than items to be sold at auction at the expense of the British public.

Members of Parliament, and indeed the Governing body of the United Kingdom, continues to steal our freedom from beneath our feet. It no longer acts in the interests of the British public. It acts in the interests of the European Union, an organisation that is set to dissolve national identities.

We are heading in the direction of a 'One World Government'.

It seems that the British Government is creating a manifestation of George Orwell's 'Big Brother world' seen in 1984. One man, Ian Parker-Joseph, leader of the Libertarian Party United Kingdom (who can also be found on Twitter), has seen this become a reality and took action against it. Read all about it here: Libertarian Party UK 1984 Campaign

Some might argue that these are the words of a conspirator, that he is much the same as all other politicians, manipulating the truth for personal gain. Although it is possible, I prefer to liken him to a modern George Orwell.

His ideas and words are attempts at the subversion of the accepted political structure of the nation and observes problems through comic wit and satire, an example is seen here. He discusses a recent advertisement campaign and satirises much of the article.

He is a voice of change in his own right.

Ian Parker-Joseph has coined the term 'regionalisation', an idea that relates to the members of the European Union as being 'regions without identities' and he sees that much of the United Kingdom has become 'regionalised', particularly in Wales (See here).

One can imagine that there can be few surprises as to the intentions of the European Union but it is more frightening to consider that this is a global campaign. There are intentions to create an 'Asian-Australian Union', an African Union exists at the moment. There is no stopping the global campaign for a united world government, global economy and global surveillance society.

Recent examples of the influence of the British government and their intentions can be seen in the continued fight against 'internet pirates', essentially undermining privacy law through legal loopholes and strategic prosecutions. The Freedom of Information Act continues to be undermined. The prime example is that of the postponement of the Northern Ireland local elections, explained here.

It is frightening to imagine the implications of the current intentions by the government. What we must remember is that the government is elected by the people, for the people.

They represent our views.

'We should not be afraid of our governments. Governments should be afraid of their people'.

The Political Realities of Anarchy [Article]

I have often pondered upon the subject of anarchists because of the lack of media focus which is received in comparison to other political organisations. I also conclude that, when anarchists do receive the attention of the media, it is solely to return to the fact that democracy and capitalism remain 'the way forward'. In all honesty, has anyone ever truly considered anarchy as a possibility? I doubt it. People continue to have this postulation that anarchy is the abandonment of democracy and law in favour of chaos and dissension into moral and intellectual degeneracy. Could you be wrong? In fact, anarchy is far from the negative publicity which it received. Anarchy seeks to escape the chains of capitalism, to unite the world under a flag of freedom. It does not seek chaos. It seeks unity. It does not seek imbalance. It seeks harmony. To gain these ideals, however, anarchists must act in violence. How else did the countries we now live in manage to control the rebellious? They used violence. When Britain was an imperial state, how did it conquered two thirds of the world? They used violence. This is not a new method. This is the reiteration of everything that has once been done.

How can we actually define anarchy? Is it possible? Here are a few definitions:

• a state of lawlessness and disorder (usually resulting from a failure of government)
  wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
• Anarchy, in its broadest sense, refers to the situation in which a human society exists without Government. ...
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy
• Anarchy is the condition resulting from an absence of governing forces. Often synonymous with chaos or disorder. Anarchism is the political philosophy that holds that the destruction of government authority will yield justice and equality in society. See discussion.
  www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1451.html

It seems that, of those three definitions, only one actually refers to anarchy in a negative fashion; a state of lawlessness and disorder. This is the exact definition by which the media portrays anarchists. Why, you may ask, do they do this? Do they not have the same validity as a political organisation as other groups do? Of course not. They oppose the government. Why enter the game of politics when ultimately you wish to destroy it? There is no sense in it. That's not the reason why they do it. The reason that anarchists are portrayed negatively is because the media is a direct influence on capitalism and the economy. When war breaks out, the media profits. The media manipulates the economy. If a political organisation directly points to the media as a source of social injustice, how do they respond? They broadcast a message of idiocy and terrorism.

I'm not suggesting that this is the sole source of negative publicity for anarchy. In fact, there are numerous sources. The government, as is expected, uses propaganda to influence the ideals and the belief system of the society. Consider Hitler and his use of propaganda; people believed him. He used images. He used the newspapers. In fact, he published children's books which ordered the complete annihilation of the Jewish community. Of course, we advanced societies have other methods of propaganda. We use films. Look at V for Vendetta; this film was originally intended to influence the ideas of society on the possibility of anarchy. What did it become? A film filled with big explosions and annuciation to the dot. It was intended as a political film and it came out as an action film. Why? Because the government was afraid.

How then do we respond to this? I propose that you look to yourself, much rather than your televisions. Stop believing everything you hear. When your government tells you that you are going to war, ask yourself why. Always ask that question. Why? Why? Why? Soon enough, you'll realise nothing is intended at face value. You have to look deep between the lines. Why not look at the Iraq war as a basis? Didn't they say they believed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. It's funny, I've not seen one mention of those weapons since we went to war. Of course, Saddam was a dictator and needed to be removed but this was a secondary objective. Their first objective; occupation and control. Control the oil supply, gain a footing in the Middle East. Ask yourself why.

Capitalism and the Changing World [Article]

There are often questions of the world. What is it that drives us to the finite objects this world has made, soon to be murdered under the capitalist control of a few men. What is it that drives men to seek infinite power as Hitler did, what is it that makes people seek wealth and fortune when there is nothing to be found but bitterness, greed and sadness where wealth is found. I wonder what it is that makes people ignorant to the virtues of life; when we look outside of our windows, we saw the same old picture, over and over again but have we ever looked? Look again, what if there is a man screaming at his wife and you've never noticed it before? What if there is a woman who smiles at you, yet you've never actually looked at her before? What if there is a world to be discovered but we are too ignorant to look beyond our pitiful lives. It frightens me that ignorance has become as dominant as corruption has. Soon, the world will change and we will be cast into the realities of the world.

Has our own ignorance brought the fall of modern man upon us? For too long, we have heard the world is crumbling beneath pollution, heat radiating from factories and toxic waste spewed into rivers, oceans and lakes that were once beautiful places to sit beside. In our lifetime, we have heard that the oil will run out and our children will suffer an economic crisis as the price of fuel skyrockets, once more seeing a rise in capitalist values where we are exploited in the workplace, only to buy the products which we have been exploited to make. What of our children, our education system, health care even that has become nothing but a mockery of government policies. Our future is destined to be filled with fear of war, death, disease and droughts but is it enough to make us change? It seems it is not.

What are we to do to remove the wool from our eyes? How can we make the people see that this world is run by a few men whom think they have achieved a global balance, blind to the genocide, the corruption seen in the Third World countries. It is their ignorance that must make us see. These men are but a few men, we are a population of six billion. I should wonder how it is that we have not achieved global people when the world grows smaller every day. It is the nature of man that troubles us, greed and sin boiling within us like cruel temptations that we will soon succumb to. How are we to change the world? Can we even change the world?
