Happy New Year and welcome to 1984

Happy New Year and welcome to 1984

Welcome to 2012, which is looking more like 1984.

In Australia, at the very end of 2011 the Gillard government further restricted the media by banning TV stations from showing images of refuges see here. In 2012 we will have a carbon tax we didn’t vote for or want. This tax will be paid to the United Nations (see here) and will require the creation of at least six new government agencies, 20 new programs and the creation of 100’s of carbon cops (see here). The Bankers are producing the science (with disclaimers) via the CSIRO, as well as pushing the tax politically and will be the ones making billions if not trillions of dollars in commission from it trading by carbon permits see here.

In America at the very end of 2011 on December 31st, President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law. This bill takes even more liberties away from the American people; this bill is so outrageous that even Barak Obama said

“I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists,” Obama said

Some people in America are also attempting to shut down the internet with two bills that may be introduced in January. The bills; the Stop Online Piracy Act ‘SOPA’ and Protect IP Act if passed would effectively shut down the web. The New York Times has called it the “Great Firewall of America” comparing it to China’s internet firewall see here and a fantastic Q&A by Cnet News about the bills can be found here.

The U.S. is also due for an election in 2012, luckily the media have got over their Lord Voldemort “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” complex and have begun to talk about Ron Paul both nationally and internationally as a serious contender for president (see here), so there may be hope.

In Europe the people in Italy and Greece still haven’t had an election after their democratically elected leaders were replaced by the EU Parliament, with a former Goldman Sachs executive and a Trilateral Commission member (see here and here). Control of the collapsing Euro was also handed to a former Goldman Sachs executive who was installed as President of the European Central Bank see here and here.

I’m back from my short break and will back to blogging this week, wishing everyone a safe 1984 while they keep resisting tyranny.
