Australia is the next best place for American 'mental health programs'
http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/14890229/us-mental-health-success-brought-to-australia/
while the numerous stories of 'ordinary' Americans are heart rending.
Professionals and academics and mature Veterans guided by con science, willing to be crucified for 'Truth telling', while the inmates control the 'asylum'. Moving House to Australia, where the non elected leaders remain clue less beyond satisfying the lusts of their own EGOS.
Australia: the last bastion ( the name of a base in Afghanistan/Captain Wales?) of so-called 'freedom' (let us be fooled not one nano second longer)...

hypocrisy is allowed to be practiced by the Establised Elites, who bump off their 'own', when their 'use by' date arrives, if not before.

Yes, part of the plan.
A plan against humanity.
A society destroying itself.
I look over the pictures and words, and I feel sadness.
For humanity.
A youtube, Nights in White Satin (extended version).
Such a cynical plan.
But all of us, we need to hold onto our humanity, true religion is universal, for we are all God's children.
They divide society.
They divide humanity.
They use the words and phrases of universal values, but those words and phrases are a cover for the most perverse plan ever hatched:
Ashes in the mouth of humanity.
God help us to reach out, not in hatred, but in love, seeing through the window of technology, not children of another God, but our brothers and sisters in the human family.
What will happen? I think I know, but I pray I'm wrong.
May the universal God which watches over humanity have mercy for the ignorant, the cold-hearted, and the selfish.
And, provide courage for the learned, the warm-hearted, and the compassionate.
For we are going to need it, oh, are we going to need all the courage and counsel we can find.
Courage to do good works in the face of supreme selfishness, some call evil.
Youtube the Poppy family, Where Evil Grows.
Don't let the selfishness (evil) grow in your heart.
Because, then, they will have won.

After laughing my head off, looking at the Anonymous 6.08 link, Au Yahoo reported the resignation of an Australian politician wanting to import Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, to Australia.
But, the Pure Establishment, Pretenders running the Show, has other, better notions of international relations....
NO REALITY allowed in public, no mattter what the 'elect' get up to, in their duplicitous private lives!
The inmates are in charge of the asylum.
Hang the Bankers website is running a story on how the New World Order NEEDS Australia.
And Ms Gillard is off to UN General Assembly to have a chat about the Millennium Goals.
Nobody is discussing these any more, as the world stands on the brink of Israhell induced catastrophe. But then, Ms Gillard and her first bloke are firmly attached to Israhell, oblivious to the slaughter that goes on in its name.
Anyone who speaks out, is dealt with, in the now well established pattern of UK/MOSSAD/Clinton and Obama...
