Watching The Watchers

“ For the chief of state under modern conditions, a limiting factor is too many subjects and problems in too many areas of government to allow solid understanding of any of them... , This leaves the field open to protective stupidity. Meanwhile bureaucracy, safely repeating today what it did yesterday, rolls on as ineluctably as some vast computer , which once penetrated by error, duplicates it forever.” Barbara W.

Cole AWB Cover-up
No More Witnesses?
Efficient Government Duplicity

As the AWB wheat oil for food inquiry draws to a close many Australians must be asking the question how successful is the cover up going to be. For example ex-Deputy PM and Trade Minister Mr. Tim Fischer Has not been called to give evidence and being a leading ag mafia stakeholder and throughout the Iraq oil for food corruption he would be knowledgeable. So Banana Republic Howard makes sure he isn’t subpoenaed to give evidence. Then there is ex Deputy PM and Minister Mr. John Anderson. Another knowledgeable ag mafia stakeholder and all throughout the same period. There is also Mr. Donald McGeochie the current chairman of Telstra (and wouldn’t know the difference between a copper cable and a fibre optic cable although someone might have raised his awareness of the difference by now after being Telstra Chairman for a few years.) McGeochie was president of the NFF or National Farmers Federation and is also a wheat property owner and producer. Therefore also knowledgeable about the grains industry and the marketing. There are also numerous mandarins throughout DFAT and the Department of Agriculture or whatever it is they call it these days. Frequent name changes of government departments are a typical strategy (but expensive) used by the mandarins to keep the public from keeping track of them and their closets full of skeletons. They are the only ones who know where the bodies are buried and intend keeping it that way. And you never even voted for any of these slimy career characters! Some of these mandarins have been spirited out of the country and setup in comfortable positions in foreign countries. Maybe the World Trade Organisation or an Embassy here or there? They have over decades designed many of these escape routes.
How much has the Cole cover-up cost anyway? Another trough for the Aussie legal profession! And everyone walks!
There are 2 versions of Australia’s rule of law and how they are applied. One for the in-group and one for the out-group. The out-group is the majority who it seems blindly happen to vote to put the in-group in power!! Clever country indeed!
