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.

KPMG Is Pushing The Australia ID Card
Another Corrupt Arthur Anderson
Profiteering Partnerships Bandwagon

Most people don’t know what democracy is until they’ve lost it! What are you going to tell your children or grandchildren when they ask you what contribution you made to fighting the tyranny of the status quo and their parasitic destruction of democracy? Well fuck all as a matter of fact if history is any guide!
The Howard government and their sneaky sleazy corrupt politicised dual, career path mandarins (we are being polite and perhaps it is all that is to be expected from the creation of over 35 corrupt self centered self serving universities) are quietly pushing ahead with the big brother Australia ID Card. KPMG has been appointed as an outsourced service (in between advising Westpoint Group among many others, about how to avoid ASIC’s threats etc) to ensure this privacy - violating undemocratic piece of computerized plastic is embedded into every Australian.(No doubt we can soon expect its justification presented to all by KPMG’s resident propagandist Bernard Salt through the News Corps, The Australian newspaper (Keeping The Nation Informed?). They are like one of their previous competitors Arthur Anderson, no more than a bunch of profiteering corrupt partnerships connected to their networks inside government with their greedy elitist snouts stuffed into as many government troughs as their insider network can cook up. With their ever present help! These profiteering partnerships are riddled with ex-mandarins and politicians and as members of the tyranny of the status quo they have little if any regard for privacy and democracy. Never have never will! (These plagiarizing innovation - preventing –unless-we-can-get-on-the-profiteering-gravy –train - elites and their government trough feeding networks consider the rest of Australians are a bunch of, if -they -can’t- eat -it, can’t -shoot -it, can’t- fuck- it, they’re not interested fodder. Something similar to what Hitler and the Nazis thought and obviously so did IBM at the time.)ICT monoliths like IBM are linked into this profiteering network and of course we all know their history with Hitler and the Nazis is still part of their business model. KPMG is happy to benefit from it for a share of the take!So you think you live in a democracy? Such is the power of the propaganda apparatus you have been made to believe is free entertainment. Or perhaps these elites are correct after all? NOTICE how your wonderful media monopoly is avoiding the Australia ID Card issue? Easily explained why!http://economicbillofrights.blogspot.com

Australias Corrupt Political Status Quo
Making Careers Out Of Their Own Failures
The Mandarins Go Along For The Ride “Like some vast computer….”

After decades it should be obvious to anyone that if you do not have the same views as the political status quo then you do not have a view. However for the younger generation (what the sociologists call gen X, or was it gen Y…?) without the experience of a decade or more of voting and participating in the political status quo’s version of their process of democracy, this is not yet so obvious that they could pick up on it and the fact they are being brainwashed to conform more as they age. They are manipulated to believe they are cool and trend setters in all respects. But true cool would be if they demanded multichannel iDTV free of the old media oligarchs and their role as the political status quo’s propaganda apparatus.Do they, and for that matter their older generation attachments, comprehend that a media monopoly owned and controlled by less than a handful of old media oligarchs licensed to use public assets economically inefficiently by the political status quo (most of them mediocre lawyers, which should tell Australians something but apparently doesn’t), is a propaganda machine both stakeholders must maintain, even as the baton is passed on to young media economic and technology illiterate heirs, and who are quite happy to go along with anything their senior advisers tell them and will protect their asset and inheritance value at the gross and blatant expense of the national economic and public interest benefit?The older generation might now have accepted they have been efficiently manipulated and brainwashed for decades but naturally enough aren’t going to fess up to their gen X ( or was it Y) offspring. This would leave them open for more ridicule than most are probably already subject to. Gen X/Y of course are yet to figure out just how expert this status quo propaganda apparatus is after decades and as it works on them relentlessly. They have a solution of course and as we mentioned above. To demand it is now the test of their awareness and commitment. That is to continue to accept the tyranny of the status quo, or participate in contributing to avoiding the perpetuation of the corrupt political status quo and their version of the future and the perpetuation of the failure that is the Australian media monopoly.Demand your right to have multi-channel free 4iDTV now. And do not allow the invasive Australia ID Card to happen. They are one and the same issue and sourced from the same tyranny. You have a choice, Do you have the guts to use it?http://governmentcrime.blogspot.com

Australias Mediocre Media Diversity
Dot-Joining – Dysfunctional
Political Trough Feeders Repeating History

Last week the Australian Financial Review published an article from taxpayer funded research that identifies that over 2000 Australian citizens as ICT graduates from local universities are unemployed and unable to find full time employment. Meanwhile Australia’s 35 plus universities keep pushing their courses overseas for full fee paying students who are also authorised to work 20 – 40 hours per weak as part of the incentive package to get them here to prop up a vast network of universities and their academic bureaucracies all with a track record of not being able to create local industry and wealth, as they are too busy working for multinationals on a dollar for dollar basis building proof of concept design for them, including computer code that makes Bill Gates more billions. (So now you know why Australia can never create a Microsoft, eBay, Google, Skype and so on to name but a few.) This also explains why there is no vision in Australia, but that’s another story.For this proven consistent track record Brendan I -don’t-muck-about- Nelson MP gets bamboozled into giving them another $300 or $400 million for an ICT centre of excellence such as NICTA, and so they keep funding Microsofts research and so on. This has also established Nelson as having a track record of giving the corrupt secretive mandarins and their networks vast resources they obviously do not deserve and of course now he is our fearless the-right-stuff-leader in all things Defence, we can be sure the mandarins in that inept sink-hole saw him coming and have maximized their advantage. Don’t-muck-abouts’ public announcements in that regard sound like an open cheque book already.
As this state of affairs continues as usual, we are also told there are over 5000 foreign ICT workers employed locally at cut rates with 457 visas. Where this 457 system was dreamed up is anyones guess but we could be sure the parasite dual-career-path-mandarins and their mates are prominent. Also about a week later in the News Corp newspaper The Australian (“Keeping The Nation Informed”, they like to believe but is anyone going to challenge them?) we are fed another version of the local situation which describes how IBM and other multinationals are unable to find enough ICT staff to fulfill their large government contracts. Given IBM’s history and culture, including up to their necks with Hitler’s Nazis during that period, we might speculate that IBM among others is feeding this propaganda out to justify taking more ICT work offshore to India and so on where they have large local investments in software development, call-centres and so forth. Can IBM as a global big business be trusted? Of course not! It profits enormously from government relationships worldwide.So what’s going on? CAN ANYONE out there confirm that this is the state of ICT in Australia? ARE you an unemployed local university graduate trying to figure it out? WE can provide some answers if you’re interested, based on years of research. So why reinvent the wheel. (Contact: bsqwatch@yahoo.com)

Of course it would be too much to expect some logical explanation from Senator Vanstone as after about 1 decade in government she has never had any problem avoiding proving anything when asked. Her reasoning is probably that it isn’t broken so it doesn’t need fixing. But her preoccupation is probably on food and its rate of consumption, and what’s on the desert menu, which makes for less than efficient decision making about such issues as ICT visas, among other things.
We could join the dots together but after more than a decade or two or three, of the usual suspects and their solutions, it seems reasonable to assume that no-one is all that interested. This might also explain why there is never much ICT vision in Australia and with the iDTV failure now obvious, it is likely such an apathetic culture is likely to remain visionless forever.Of course it can all be explained but again why bother. And any explanation that conflicts with the status quo is no explanation of course. If there is anyone out there interested in taking some initiative to participate in an explanation please let us know.
Perhaps if the tyranny of the status quo is exposed for what it is then perhaps something could be done before the ICT deficit goes up another $20 billion or so. With an Aussie lawyer heading up the ACS don’t expect much specific in the area of vision. What they do understand is how to transfer wealth not create it and how to make self-serving propaganda sound like logic. To the extent Australians have allowed themselves to be ruled by Aussie lawyers and mandarins. So don’t expect any solutions form ACS. After decades of offering up the same recycled state of Aussie ICT, they are more like part of the problem. ACS probably has sufficient proprietary data to prove this.
Paralysis from analysis is where the money is and Australia excels at it. NICTA and the defense mandarins and the rest of their dissipating corrupt network are ongoing proof for anyone who wants to take a look. Enriching themselves off a foreign debt of $650 billion and growing. Some solution!

Howard Coonan DTV Cop -Out
Media Oligarchs Pig-out
Massive Insider Trading?

So what’s new in the land of OZ? Another lesson in how to perpetuate the status quo and make it look and sound like its egalitarian nation building leadership! Fooled again by the propaganda apparatus! Now you know why they maintain the old ready for the junk heap increasingly worthless analog media monopoly. At your expense and counting, including impeding digital convergence at every opportunity. It’s past time folks you started doing a little bit of thinking about what this is costing you! Muy rapido and MUCHO!The Minister for Communications Senator Coonan announced the Howard government has a media solution. The solution is to continue to deny universal free or near free multi-channel iDTV to all Australians and to support the old media oligarchs and their business priorities, which are to protect their old heading for the scrap heap analog media assets, and their market values. This includes (our very own ha! ha!)$15 billion to $20 billion –down- the - drain Telstra and together it is costing all Aussies billions and billions. Old media dominates a large part of the media world not because it has credibility and authority in reporting, which is clearly what it believes and wants to believe, but because it has established entrenched access to the capital markets –and the relevant market news- and also control of dividend collecting coupon clipping shareholders. AND IT’S AN ENTRENCHED MONOPOLY that uses its content delivery system to manipulate the public into believing it has “credibility and authority in reporting”! How convenient! As the media monopoly we make you – the majority- believe this is democratic because you are free to pick any model and colour you like but will only end up with our model and it only comes in one colour. And because the political status quo needs a convenient spineless propaganda apparatus we can always count on them to give us the laws and licenses to do this. We make bags of money and the pollies make propaganda and you vote for them less than fully informed. Objective achieved!
In the same way the old political status quo has control thru abuse of voters etc, so they have a lot in common. For example they say Coonan is arm wrestling with the media moguls, which is self serving propaganda. They need to throw up some of this bunk to make it look like they are independent and keeping the cake eating nodding public fully informed. Government and the media moguls have always been in bed together sharing the spoils from power and control over the masses etc. Pulling them apart is not easy when the pleasure is so cheap but so valuable. Besides if it ain’t broke it shouldn’t really need fixing, which is pretty much what the majority has been reliably getting. Convergence is like one or more of this cosy bunch caught a socially undesirable nasty disease. It therefore can’t be allowed to happen.
But who wants multichannel digital TV from the media oligarchy anyway? It’s a dictatorship! They have had hold of free spectrum worth billions of dollars (and a public asset only licensed) for a decade for that purpose which is why they were given this multibillion dollar free spectrum in the first place. They need to pay for abusing it for 10 years not to be rewarded in any way. And that means competition and that means new players. Howard and Coonan think they are doing us all a big favour by “freeing” the media oligarchs to give us multichannel digital TV. BULLSHIT! It’s giving them what they want which is more of the same. FUCK all for the anonymous public interest maximization. They are only the suckers who vote to put these mediocre conveyancing clerks and assorted mealy-mouthed networkers into government and power!We want our free or near free 4iDTV and now and without the media oligarchs involved.
Coonan can arm wrestle and mud wrestle with them but we demand OUR 4iDTV and NOW!
But Howard’s cabinet is full of card carrying Aussie lawyers and after decades Aussies should by now understand that Aussie lawyers know stuff all about the economics of wealth creation. Only wealth transfer and to them! Appeasing the media oligarchs to maintain the propaganda apparatus is the easiest solution and history shows they are always reliable on this score. That is, perpetuating the tyranny of the status quo but at the expense of the majority. (Over decades the majority of Aussies have badly underestimated the power a bunch of organized mediocre conveyancing clerks as politicians can have.)In addition notice the share prices of the handful of old media companies as the media monopoly (those with short backbones refer to it as an oligopoly which is their cop-out of course), have all increased on Howard/Coonan’s public announcement. This yet again has enriched the media oligarchs and in fact because they have been dealing with the Howard cabinet out of sight of the public and in private to make sure they get their preferred business model made law (again), it is a case of massive insider trading as the public (the market) has not been kept fully informed. (It’s called asymmetric information -or, keep the fools in the dark-. Is a conflict of interest and unethical!) Notice WIN TV Australia’s biggest privately owned –and therefore can avoid a lot of public scrutiny etc- regional TV network (which for business and monopoly purposes was originally created as an extension of Packers network but must be legally held in someone else’s name so the government can claim they are really separate, which is an aspect of Aussie TV the majority have been kept ignorant of for at least 20 years and of course is another reason why so-called Free TV is not free), has been buying large chunks of metro Channel Ten before the governments announcement, because they new it would fully support the old media monopoly owners.
The owner of Win TV Mr. Bruce Gordon has not lived in Australia for decades and has most of his analog licensed media assets protected in tax havens offshore, and he has little knowledge of the economics of digital and convergence and the cost to SME’s, the majority and the nation, of continuing to be a member of the media monopoly oligarchy that stifles convergence to protect their individual and combined old media assets. Coonan like her predecessor Alston also has little idea of the economics of convergence except what the rich media lobby and their in-the-pocket-mandarins tell them. And they are only there to give Howard numbers to control government and for long enough to get lifetime indexed pensions and other retirement benefits. But of course they are card carrying Aussie lawyers so this is understandable. Win TV owner Bruce Gordon says that there is not enough content anywhere in the world to fill the potential digital channels. Well he would say this of course! This is absurd of course but his experience of media has always only been analog so it is understandable his analog assets, with government protection, must remain a license to print money, which digital convergence and multi-channel digital will undermine and eventually destroy unless he and his monopoly oligarch mates can own and control everything digital. To do this they must rely on government to manipulate the laws and the public, to ensure they can achieve this as their necessary objective. Howard’s coalition and the labor party comply of course because they get funds from the license - to - print - money -network to fund their dominance of power and control over the majority. And of course a convenient propaganda apparatus to keep the masses…Blah! Blah…! They have been doing this as a team for decades now and in terms of digital, at least about 10 years and so far it is working just fine so why fix something that they view is not broken. But also notice the media status quo will comment on WIN TV, among others, as a cross media player, they do not have the guts to analyse the implications in any way because in the final analysis whether electronic or print the old media monopoly oligarchy (not an oligopoly as they sometimes admit they are) is a member of the old deeply entrenched media monopoly. (This cost Fairfax shareholders at least $150 million some years ago before the management figured this out and quietly slipped into singing the old oligarchs tune!)If there is not enough content for these potential denied digital channels (at least 75 and see some previous blogs) then it shows 2 things. 1. The Internet would not be what it is because it is if nothing else all about information content and its economically efficient delivery. Wait until its all pure photons folks! Which again is what the old status quo dreads with nightmares and must impede.2. Win TV either does not understand convergence and its economic potential AND economic inevitability. Or does understand it (and its threat) and must impede it until they can get ownership and or control of it or as much of the most potentially valuable parts as possible before the public can have it. (That’s YOU!) It is probably a case of both. How about you? Well fuck you says the status quo because you are just a pair of remote clicking powerless brainwashed eyeballs mate. (For some unprecedented empowerment see http://economicbillofrights.blogspot.com )
But then we are delivered words of wisdom from the 30 year old chairman of WIN TV, locally based Mr. Andrew Gordon, who says the same thing as the owner, his father, but of course he knows less about digital convergence and the economics of all things digital, and of course he is the heir of WIN TV and its license to print money. What he does know about is that he does not want to inherit a dying dinosaur so Win TV might be expected to get sold shortly. Once again the whole spectrum (75 channels plus) needs to be economically efficiently divided and sold and the old media oligarchy dismantled to protect the public interest benefits and the economic value of digital convergence which has already cost Aussies too much from the interfering vested interest media oligarchy and their spineless waffling prevaricating mates the Aussie political status quo and their nameless faceless mandarins. But so long as Aussies rely on vested interest entrenched self serving governments and their oh so convenient propaganda machine to protect their interest they will continue to get what they give them.
In addition out of all the old analog bandwidth one channel needs to be a public broadcast channel but this does not mean exclusively ABC and SBS and in fact they should be avoided. (With digital you would get 10 ABC’s and 10 SBS’s?). There has been no mention of the potential for some digital public broadcast channels with new stakeholders allowed access and not the usual vested interest ABC/SBS bureaucrats.
Frankly after Alston’s old media supporting, public interest cop-out over many years, Coonan needs her arrogant ignorant arse kicked for maintaining the status quo but making it look like some sort of managed delayed convergence government initiative and solution. Selling the public a recycled version of the same thing Howard/Alston did. Fooling all …. All the time is worth the effort at least as a starting point. But relying on a bunch of Howard national party convergence illiterate hillbillies to push convergence is stretching it a bit. After all and despite the propaganda they will remain loyal to their liberal mates who can protect and enrich them from such corruption as the wheat /AWB, SMA’s. Curious how the AWB is an SMA and no-one in government or anywhere can be made responsible. Even the communist Chinese (and Putin in Russia among others) are probably trying to figure out how they can implement something as shifty and clever. Why reinvent the wheel when the political status quo in a “democracy” has already figured it out.
Furthermore and back on 4iDTV, the investment banking firm Macquarie Bank has manipulated its way into the equation while the majority of Aussies have been fed the usual ongoing propaganda from the usual suspects, and this investment banking mafia, with its ex - politicians and mandarins on board is not doing anything for the majority except serving their own get rich quick interests. It is not, around the CBD’s at least, referred to as the millionaire’s factory for nothing. Their unofficial motto is probably something like, Fuck the majority and the nation and get rich quick in the process. Something the old analog media oligarchs can relate to for sure. (Their idea of economically efficient nation building is the Sydney metro private toll road system! You’ve been warned! You can see a roadway network, you can’t see digital or analog spectrum or the infinite bandwidth carrying buried photonic fibres! Imagine what plans they might have for it and it’s a lot more valuable than a strip of bitumen and some toll – gate booths.)
The old political status quo maintains its loyalties to the old media status quo which is the government’s propaganda apparatus! At enormous ongoing cost to the nation and the majority! So once again the government is manipulating the market and as it has done in the case of Telstra T2 and now T3, among others, and this is the very same government that claims it believes the market forces of competition should be left to sort out business. What absolute BULLSHIT as usual but typical of mediocre Aussie lawyers turned politicians hungry and greedy for power. We could get on the subject of the useless rubber stamping ACCC ( another sink hole for too many Aussie lawyers?) but for another time perhaps. (If only we could afford a full time website! How about some Australia Research Council funding? Sorry, mate this is only a $600 million a year slush fund for the university bureaucracy and their mates to prop them up and keep them in the lifestyles they reckon they deserve. For their track record of failing to create wealth – no eBays, Googles and so on from this lot – and building a $650 billion foreign debt, not to mention a long list of other failures and squandered resources and opportunities we will get around to publishing about eventually. For a small investment it could save the nation millions and even billions. And even democracy! )Nor is the government’s iDTV solution the best solution to maximise the public interest benefit. Never has been and never will be! It’s an oxymoron! FUCK the majority Aussie public is business as usual! Is ASIC or anyone else going to investigate this unprecedented insider trading? (Sure thing mate we’re on it right now!) But ASIC’s 1400 expensive bureaucrats only chases small fish, which also funnily enough better fulfills optimizing Parkinson’s Law (work expands with the numbers of bureaucrats allocated to it etc… another Aussie tradition), in addition to producing the best PR value. Perhaps and given the always reliable government backing of the media oligarchs to protect their license- to -print -money -monopoly (and kickback to the political status quo to keep them in power so they can protect the media monopoly), there should be a Royal Commission, and which should include exposing ACCC as in on this protection racket as consistently avoiding the lack of competition and 4iDTV as the solution. (But of course we should all know the value of Australia’s make -a -bunch -of -lawyers- rich-royal commissions by now. Forgotten the AWB/wheat corruption already have we? HIH Ltd? With the help of the media monopoly of course!).
The switch to digital has again been changed to appease the media oligarchs. It was supposed to be by law, in 2006, but it is now 2010/2012, but come 2010/2012 it will be changed again to appease the media status quo. Meanwhile of course Coonan and mealy-mouthed Howard will be gone and grazing on greener pastures with indexed pensions and the usual stuff. This is Aussie nation building leadership! (Good thing China and India among a few others across Asia, cam along at the right time and need more stuff out of big holes for their wealth creating economies.) Coonan’s predecessor Richard Alston got rewarded with the Ambassadors job in London for maintaining the media monopoly. Coonan will be equally rewarded when she shortly retires, “For personal reasons!” And Aussies think this is democracy and they control it! The power of sustained propaganda!
Once again notice how the oligarchs will never break ranks and vigorously pursue 4iDTV independently? Not even Rupert Murdoch who claims to want a 4th network made law. (But with him as the owner and not purely digital, which he forgot to mention. WHY? That’s easy!) So it’s up to the manipulated brainwashed majority to do it (that’s us), because once there is a wild card introduced such as 4iDTV they will all have to perform and compete for a change. And all Aussies will benefit enormously and in fact the rest of the world will. Because…(we will be back shortly)
WAKE up folks! For a solution email bsqwatch@yahoo.comOr, join EBR and the http://economicbillofrights.blogspot.com solution. Why not do both? And before we are declared a terrorist organization! At least when your children ask what did you do during the time the tyranny of the status quo made war on digital convergence, you can prove you at least did something, instead of copping-out.
PS. Have you ever asked yourself where these politicians get so much of these opinionated nation building solutions from? You think Coonan cooked it up? Maybe the fullstops at most! Read our title intro, Watching the watchers.

Australian Governments Sell-Out Oz Future
Local ICT & iDVT Industry Stifled & Blocked

Ethically Bankrupt Corrupt Leadership

As Australia’s interactive DTV continues to be driven backwards by the media status quo, the ICT industry generally, and software specifically, is being silently moved offshore as the ICT deficit continues to grow from $2 billion 20 years ago to $25 billion now and rising. As one opportunity after another is missed throughout a continuing digital technologies industry trend line unprecedented in any industry in history, governments keep on squandering billions and opportunities. They are now peddling biotech as the new solution to somehow show Australia can commercialise innovation. After decades of lack of success this is delusion as usual.
Why can’t Australia create an eBay, Google, Microsoft or any of many more that have been created and now worth billions over the past 3 or even 4 decades of digital technologies? We now know the answer. EMAIL:bsqwatch@yahoo.comIt’s past time the real story was disclosed so that the perpetrators are exposed. Who could they be? Technology illiterate transient politicians, mandarins and the media status quo vested interests. BUT it is what is happening to iDTV that is now vitally important and to all Australian’s, SME’s and the nation into the long-term.
Our unique independent research over more than a decade easily proves what the economic cost has been and is for the majority of Australian’s, for SME’s and for the ICT/iDTV software and hardware industry. IT’S BIG! The cost has been and continues to be enormous. But it is so big for iDTV that it would be more cost-effective for all 20 million Aussies if the digital spectrum was auctioned off on a use it or lose it basis. It is not too late! (The direct Telstra T2 and voter shareholder losses today are now over $15 billion and this money alone would have been enough to setup 4iDTV. The lost opportunity cost is probably much greater.) However the handful of old media monopoly oligarchs and their heirs like James Packer would have to compete in a purely interactive digital environment. And they would lose on a level playing field without government protection that costs every Aussie and SME. You have the entrenched political status quo to thank for this humungous ongoing failure and its ongoing successful cover-up, which we are attempting to expose on a shoe string budget. But with 4iDTV, 20 million Aussies and SME’s and the nations economy would benefit enormously.But who has benefited the most from preventing iDTV? Less than a handful of media oligarchs, (and a few of them rarely live in Australia but reside in offshore tax havens instead as they get digital technology illiterate thug managers to run them as absent analog TV license owners) and their political backers. They are also completely ignorant of the economics of digital technologies, because convergence has never been possible before until the past 10 years. Is this worth the price? NO!The majority of Australians should stop and consider how come with such a unique and unprecedented opportunity as iDTV, the same old analog media oligarchs like Murdoch and Packer are also dominating digital, but to hold it back so their old media assets won’t get buried. But 20 million Aussies and SME’s are paying for it now and will pay even more in the future.
Support 4iDTV if you want free or near free, state of the art iDTV, instead of what Murdoch and Packer and their gutless Machiavellian government backers decree you get, including the mandarins who are more focused on their dual career paths than any wider long-term public interest benefits. The government claims that competition is their priority, and they have big expensive bureaucracies (mainly jobs for lawyers etc) like the ACCC to prove it but with ACCC full of more lawyers and with a track record of not doing anything about the media monopoly, it is clear it’s all about form and no substance. But what else can be expected from Australian lawyers and bureaucrats as long as they maintain and grow their counterproductive empires and budgets. (Even the taxpayer funded Productivity Commission produced a report about 8 years ago that clearly stated the old analog TV network monopoly was economically inefficient. But the government has made sure they now remain silent on the subject and like good Aussie bureaucrats they have obeyed. Notice that out of Australia’s 35 or more “intellectually independent” universities there are no academics exposing the media oligarchs and the cost. No backbone.) The ACCC generates a lot of self-serving hype but in the last analysis the ACCC and their various offshoots (another big extra cost for holding Australia back while keeping plenty of lawyers and economists employed), represent the media monopoly oligarchs to make sure competition is prevented and history proves it time and time again, including now. The media oligarchs and their media mafia of course do not and cannot tolerate competition. Sure they look like 3 to 5 networks competing (the ABC and SBS bureaucracies keep quiet as they cruise in the background protecting their empires) but this is the monopoly’s strategy, BUT none of them will break ranks and push for 4iDTV. The first one to do so will be the nail in the coffin for all of them. And so long as they have the ACCC and full government backing to maintain the economically inefficient and enormously expensive old analog media license owners, they prevent digital and competition. BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HEAR ANY OF THIS FROM THE MEDIA MONOPOLY AND THEIR MEDIA MAFIA.
Australia is supposed to be a democracy and you therefore have a choice, which is being denied by the nation’s rulers. Us it or lose it!ARE THESE entrenched absentee MEDIA OLIGARCHS –and their heirs and digital economics illiterate thug managers- FIT AND PROPER PERSONS TO HOLD and operate BROADCAST LICENCES THEY CONTINUALLY ABUSE. This and more is why old analog TV is not and can never be free as they always claim, which by the way is misleading advertising (on their media networks), which the ACCC for one never challenges.
Lying to government and the public about needing ALL free digital spectrum to be able to give Australians iDTV! (Which raises 2 questions: was government that stupid or were they just being their usual accommodating available for old media mates? They get an accommodating propaganda apparatus in return as usual. The old Aussie mateship tradition! You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.) Then, also sitting on this multibillion dollar value spectrum for a decade doing the absolute bare minimum,(the laws never included the obvious condition that they must use it lose it, and how convenient is that?) while they deliberately squander the nation’s economically unprecedented digital opportunities to save their own investments. (As we have said elsewhere, Analog networks are digitals worst enemy!) Not only with the governments full support as they cop-out of any real public interest benefit changes to the broadcast laws, but also subsidizing these media oligarchs using billions of dollars of taxpayer’s funds. The solution for this is now clear but don’t expect to hear it from the media mafia and government, because between them they must keep Aussies in the dark. UNLESS!
4iDTV now or more of the same old analog media mafia? Over 50 iDTV free or near free channels now with enormous national economic and export potentials into the future or, 5 tired old economically inefficient analog channels that will and should already, be buried anyway?
Whether they are fit and proper can be challenged. Again, it’s your choice. Incredibly could 10 million to 20 million Australians believe that what they get now from the old media mafia is the best there is? It isn’t, because logically they must prevent the best there is to survive. But only with the support of Machiavellian Howard and his cabinet mafia of lawyers or their labor party mafia equivalents (and anyone who believes any of the promises the labor party is making now to get back to power should look at history). And to what extent has this digital neglect and failure contributed to the nations growing foreign debt of $650 billion? Any support is welcome, including copying or emailing this to others. The entrenched media status quo and their misuse and abuse of public assets in the form of spectrum, and public interest benefit laws, needs to be exposed, made accountable and quickly converted to state of the art multichannel iDTV.http://governmentcrime.blogspot.com

Australia’s Socioeconomic Cleansing
A Unique First World Model
The Future Now - What You See is Not What You Get

Australia has evolved over the past 50 years in a deliberate, planned and unique way whereby at least a minimum of 20% - 25% of Australian society must be kept at 3rd world level conditions. Maintaining this minimum over decades and across different governments is designed to keep a large percentage of the 75% with diverse opportunities to live off, and especially as a large population of public and private subsidised government bureaucracy. No one knows how many of the 75% live off the bottom –feeding 20+% and of course governments aren’t going to bother finding out, although with their vast resources including for example the Australian Bureau of Statistics and more than 35 universities it would be easy enough to do and perhaps between them they do know but of course will never put it in the public domain. Keep all of the mushrooms in the dark…! The political status quo clearly after decades, and particularly exhibited by the Howard coalition during the recent 10 years, (while interminably, as they will, insisting they have created an economic miracle -when in fact the miracles are China among others and as usual Australia gets a ride – cunningly manipulating job stats to make sure they match the rest of the propaganda), believes it is acceptable to fund maintaining one group of Australians – both black and white - in relative 3rd world equivalent status indefinitely while another group with extensive established supporting infrastructure – mainly white - can make careers out of living off them. This also includes the many religious and semi-religious so-called charities that the government funds either directly or through tax free status as solutions, however these bleeding-heart charitable organizations and empires also need the socioeconomic problem to remain and continue because without it they would have no reason to exist and no reason to get government funding. They would therefore have to shut down their money making parasitic industry and downsize Australia’s self-perpetuating insidious counterproductive bureaucracies. Therefore they are part of the conspiracy of networks and silence that allows this socioeconomic cleansing to continue indefinitely. It’s the result of a culture that has a bureaucracy mindset and its justification as a universal solution for everything, because so much of society understands little else after decades of government manipulation through propaganda. Brainwashed? Unwisely the majority of voters seem to persist in expecting the political status quo to come up with permanent solutions, when to ensure their survival these solutions are in reality parasites with no reason to solve anything but their own priorities which conflict with any permanent solution except the long-term eradication of this bottom-feeding expendable low-life as they see it as a drain on the rest of society, except insofar as they can live off these bottom-feeders. It also continues to stifle an appropriate entrepreneurial culture because this too would help eliminate the problem so cannot be encouraged to that extent. It’s also a crime against humanity more sophisticated and advanced than lining up people next to trenches and turning automatic weapons on them but as a first world nation its solution must of course be more sophisticated but the results are equivalent as the world beating suicide and other statistics indicate. Furthermore the unique Australian model is continually being designed to extend and maximise the diverse benefits that all forms of the established public and private bureaucracy can extract and use to live off but always at some one elses expense in human and financial capital terms. It is no coincidence they are forever inventing some sort of so-called solution and always getting government funding for it.

Their latest effort is the “Helping people back to work…” propaganda, while knowing full well Australia is not sufficiently economically diversified or entrepreneurial to have enough industry to supply the jobs (their propaganda is designed to avoid this and show the opposite) and also as one example, when 35 plus universities are marketing their services offshore (with government/Austrade subsidies) to foreign students using the opportunity to work up to 40 hours a week as an incentive to get around 200,000 foreign students to pay full fees to attend courses they are setting aside for them while denying locals. Obviously this is also designed to prop up a vast expensive network of universities (that also cannot and will not be downsized, which they well know and use to maintain their empires) and their bureaucracies as they are incapable of nation building wealth creation to support themselves. But their new propaganda while enriching their media mates for their propaganda apparatus is meant first and foremost to keep Howard’s little Hitlers in jobs. And as economically with unemployment supposedly (bureaucrats like ABS support bureaucrats so will manipulate and lie about stats etc) now at 5% or less from 15%, instead of downsizing bureaucracies like Centrelink and their Job Network equivalent mafia and reducing their budgets (an absolute no-no for Aussie bureaucrats), they have reinvented themselves instead and in the process created more activity generation by forcing their customers, the bottom-feeding scumbags, to produce increasingly more information and on a more regular basis. This, true to Parkinson’s Law, means they can maintain their parasitic empires and budgets and justify preventing being downsized and made bottom-feeding scumbags themselves. With this as the most likely result of any downsizing they will naturally as bureaucrats can only do, reinvent themselves and of course their equally corrupt networks. This is the real reason for why they created this new propaganda, because they could have been threatened by the obvious economic need to downsize but in fact they are growing which defies economic reason and of course is counterproductive in many ways, including wasting human resources but also diverting financial resources to prop up and perpetuate their existence as the corrupt career parasites they are.
Another example of schemes they cook up and how they can live off this 20+% is Howard and Costello using propaganda to encourage more Australians to have more children and with a baby bonus payment incentive of $4,000. But this is a trap to create more dependency that government can live off. There is already a problem with housing for all Australians because it is now unaffordable, particularly for this 20-25+%. Therefore having more children will make it even more unaffordable and because affordable rent properties are insufficient (and thanks to negative gearing tax shelters that Howard and Costello use to avoid taxes), if you are one of the 25+% then you and your children could become homeless. The politicians and their mandarins (including throughout the ATO) have a major conflict of interest in government because they can never create more equitable laws that will reduce or eliminate these economically inefficient tax shelters because they are personally maximizing their use for their own tax avoidance. Therefore they are also responsible for creating the unaffordable housing crisis and have been for decades. (The point is though what rational voter would keep on voting for these conflicted hypocrites and power hungry scumbag parasites? Obviously all voters who are using the tax shelters and never want them changed, which also probably includes every real estate agent in the country. See: http://economicbillofrights.blogspot.com )But again this is where government and their army of little Hitler parasites can use the old and new socioeconomic problems to live off. Created from having been misled into having more children by the Machiavellian gang of Howard and Costello, Abbott and the rest of their religious ilk. (They create havoc throughout society, call it nation building, then walk away with indexed pensions –some of them like Nairn, Fahey, Causley and others with 2 - and more.)Good old egalitarian OZ!
Government involvement in housing is counterproductive but is too entrenched now as another industry to be terminated let alone reduced. When the housing problem for these families who were brainwashed into producing more children becomes worse than it already is now, these same spineless mealy – mouthed politicians won’t be around and will likely be retired getting 2 incomes: One from their indexed life-long pension as ex-parliamentarians (for turning up in parliament to show what successful failures they are such as a foreign debt now of $650 billion and growing) and another from their lucrative new careers as consultants in law firms, UN jobs, WTO and the like.
No one is watching the watchers as usual and they know it, and like the Salvation Army’s recent $10 million fraud against the government nothing gets done about it while the bottom feeders are constantly exposed as committing fraud against the government (and to emphasise the value of this as propaganda for the government, the taxpayers as victims, which can conveniently be used as more propaganda to push their Australia ID Card etc) on a regular basis. The Salvation Army fraud and the fact no legal action has been taken is curious (but not surprising) given Howard and his cabinet of lawyers are forever dictating to the rest of us how vital the rule of law is to a “healthy” democracy. Curious (selective) logic, which is supposed to be one of the main foundations law is based on.
This government protection of deviant corporate crime by a trusted tax subsidized semi-religious charity only condones the criminal behavior and is basically rewarding it. But as in the wheat/AWB corruption and many other areas over many years, including when the corrupt labor party was in government, it shows government is criminal but immune from any accountability. More traits that government and their sycophants like to accuse others of as typical 3rd world activities. The moral of course is that Australia should clean-up its own house first. But with, in reality, a controlled media monopoly this can and is avoided by the media mafia. Hypocrites! Government’s always find some convenient vulnerable scapegoats to divert the public’s attention from frauds such as the Salvation Army and other government funded and promoted “solutions”. This socioeconomic problem and its maintenance has developed a unique and large nationwide network, which is an industry that cannot be dismantled because it is claimed as a solution by the political status quo and employs such large numbers of public and private bureaucracy that is unemployable elsewhere because of Australia’s historical inability to create sufficient diverse wealth creating industry. Australia continues to show that it can create a negative sum game outcome industry though and then crow about it as a success. What else would they do?
Successive governments and their expert advisers consider the ongoing multibillion dollar funding of this extensive public and private bureaucracy over decades is justified (naturally enough as they are all making careers out of it) and as a far superior return on investment than creating permanent wealth creating solutions for this wasted unrepresented human capital (or as referred to by this network of bureaucracy, the bottom-feeding scumbags). Except that is, its eventual creatively drawn out and gradual extermination or erasure from society, like rotten fruit dropping to the ground and bulldozed into trenches. Also a form of Genetic selection perhaps and therefore justifiable by any government little Hitler worth his or her salt.
Solution socioeconomic cleansing is being achieved! Unfortunately it is an industry in the same way the Nazis, and others, used the extermination of millions as an industry! Remarkably as people say, nothing like the nazi nightmare of extermination should ever happen again, the same patterns of inhuman behavior and abuse of others continues before their eyes. But of course they do not want to see what they do want to see.
Different societies in different stages of development, both economic and political, over time and depending upon the threat to the status quo, create their own unique versions and they can with the government propaganda apparatus like the gutless local media monopoly, manipulate the majority accordingly. (Remember who controls the media laws?) One of the ways they do that in a so-called democracy is to prevent resources ever getting to any potential source that could expose it, and them. (“Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.”)
Obviously after decades this is the kind of government and country Australian’s prefer and what the political status quo and their embedded mandarins in particular are able to use and manipulate to their ongoing best advantage to remain in power and control. Promoting themselves as ongoing solutions to such socioeconomic problems they have in fact created, and continuing to make careers off it over decades.
It is a cop-out of course but at the expense of an unrepresented expendable 20%-25% which is also maintained as a disorganized minority, but this is also a deliberate strategy perpetuated by successive governments. The overall result mainly and in the final analysis, of too much unaccountable corrupt government and too many universities. An alliance and use of vast resources which has clearly been a formula for increasingly dividing Australia into two distinct countries while avoiding wealth creation among other things, which is the only superior egalitarian solution. The Australian legal profession seems to always be involved in one way or another and for example it is no coincidence that when the Howard cabinet running government and the nation and is made up entirely of lawyers,(more or less into the ground over the long-term, which is comparable to the labor party’s efforts) made up the new IR laws without any proven published economic justification, the legal profession as designers of the laws have made certain they will get the most work from it. This means the Howard government has a conflict of interest in creating such laws as they are clearly designed to benefit the Australian legal profession. Of course governments understand, even if the majority don’t, that psychologically Australians are going to go along with the governments claimed solutions and propaganda, because in the final analysis they are responsible for electing these corrupt governments. To not go along with these governments means voters must admit they have been suckered. Australians will therefore avoid owning up to being duped so they go along with government.
These highly developed and secretive alliances have evolved into entrenched layers of corrupt vested interests all dependent on capturing and retaining at any cost and indefinitely some portion of the vast billions of growing government revenue. (Living off the bottom – feeders is now an industry that cannot be dismantled. Its creators are capable of anything and will go to any lengths to ensure it, and they, survive. Australia’s unique socioeconomic cleansing model has evolved to ensure they survive but as usual at the expense of others.)But, while creating the nations biggest foreign debt in history! So just who benefits from the constant government propaganda about the need for rule of law? Lawyers and bureaucrats obviously of course! And their entrenched political sponsors!
