F*Ck Society...Australia Rigged Election or People Stupid?

[apokalypse]

can't believe Coalition win Australia election... people haven't enough of corporate ******** Turnbull?

Mod edit from Bill: several other expressive statements deleted here because of inappropriate content... but you get the idea that apokalypse is a little upset

lost hope for humanity...im not scared/fear of death anymore.

here's another thing, this has to be rigged election...Media already claim Coalition going to win and the counting is pretty fast by few hours i pull up excel and already know who going to win. the election is full of questions.

LOL, no one lies as convincingly as Bill Shorten. We did honestly dodge a bullet - they are all finger puppets in the end my friend, but times they are a changing.

Thanks for setting the record straight Huntress.

The ETs had a phrase they used , Where are you going humanity ... it makes more sense every day I walk the earth , the systems of control , the lies, deception, warmongering , people get elected to office, steal, lie, and only enrich themselves, and could care less about the people who chose to elect them ... we all know what politicians do, yet society as a whole does nothing to change it... I understand why chaos is predicted for earth , time after time, over and over, because human beings don't know how to think, they only repeat what the machine tells them to repeat... through radio, movies, ads, celebrities, everyone marches to the drum beat ...we must be the creators of our own destiny/world...

Voting is compulsory in Australia. For the first time in my life I went to the polling booth and just drew a line through the voting papers, which is here called a 'donkey vote'. I am disgusted with all politicians and with the farce that is supposed to be electoral choice. Whichever side wins election, the result is the same Apokalypse. Until there are real choices on offer, I'm out.

[Huntress]

It's not so much that people don't try. I believe that people try to change things all the time and when they arrive (meaning into office) realise too late that there is no power in that office. If you aren't helping to move "the agenda" forward you are out. Whether that means they publicly discredit you, kill you or lock you up for tax fraud or otherwise. Every time I see a polie go back on his or her word I think "they got to you" I wonder what they threatened you with. I cant believe that every person enters the political game for 100% greed.

Historically, those that have bucked the system and succeeded have ridden a tidal wave of public outrage at the establishment into a position to change things. This force of human focus is something that moves so fast and is so powerful when we collectively focus our minds to change (think Martin Luther for example) that "they" can't react fast enough to put down. Unfortunately people have to be shocked into action and the more we are desensitised to cruelty through media the more ambivalent we become. I still feel that more and more people are waking up, they are savvy to the manipulative tactics and this is an important and positive change and this change has happened because of people like you and me and all of us here who wont shut up about the "conspiracy" of it all. We keep talking and our audience is wider thanks to the internet that now it is leaking into the mainstream and for us - any publicity is good publicity because you can only make a joke of "conspiracy theories" for so long before people stop and ask "wait, what? is there something more to this?"

There is however the lesser of two evils. Opting out should not necessarily be your first option. That is after all their agenda, to sicken the population enough into not paying anymore attention or participating. If we all stop voting and stop listening or paying attention they are then free to do as they wish.

I know somebody who agrees with you, big time, in Australia right now... the dance is starting for us French with the election of our next president in the upcoming months...

Took me a quite a few years to quit casting donkey votes, and accept the responsibility that voting brings with it.

I am well aware that I am choosing the lesser of two evils, and at the end of the day, a far greater agenda may progress irrespective of who may lead the country, but three years of a former union thug running the joint, thanks but no way mate.

Well the political scene in Australia has been severely over-ridden since at least 1975, our paltry 20+ million market only care takes a giant resources pit for the world, we don't have the collective political will to overcome the traditional duality and kick them all out to build something better-we keep falling for the same dreary old B.S each time. If politics is your passion, Australia will drive you to drink, apathy is a religion here!

The sentiment of my household entirely. The most terrifying aspect of democracy is that people are by large uneducated about where people have come from and who they owe allegiance to. They don't realise what or who they are truly backing and that is how Gillard got into office, on the coat tails of the Green party - no one I know who voted Green ever thought that they were giving preference to Labour. Everyone that I know that voted Green were furious when they realised their error and I was furious that they never checked before ticking any boxes!

I agree. We are also steadily adopting a more Amercianised system of politics. Which is disturbing - we are not the USA and this is not a presidential campaign and yet every election it becomes more about the illusion of the figure head and less about facts. People understand you are voting for a party not a Commander in Chief please, less and less people know that the GG is the one with the power and not our forsaken parliament.

Yes, Huntress, and Bill Shorten is married to the daughter of Quentin Bryce, a former Governor General.

just so sick and tired of election...same old crap every 3 years.

Vote Greens, I did, at least they might do something useful for the environment with a few seats. Plus I got a nice 40 minute walk on a sunny winters day to the poling both to cast my vote.

It is funny, we have had that same conversation not so long ago with an aussie friend... French are in the streets, even if less than before, they still are and then UK vote for Brexit and Aussies are on the barbie, making sure the beer stays cold in the stubbie. Actually, all archetypes but still, with so many Australians unhappy about the political games, something gotta happen, oui ?

that is so true ghostrider but remember the vast majority of humans are still under sedation and are controlled by the MSM, they still hypnotized by those that love wars.
We for one reason/experience or another are very lucky to be awake with eyes open, but being so is very upsetting at the same time.

[apokalypse]

we might have hung parliament but in Coalition favor...we need hope and good luck.

When will you know for sure ?

[Innocent Warrior]

Still deadlocked at 1 am Sunday morning, with 75% of the votes counted. I've stopped voting and pay the fines, they can have the money, they get it all anyway.
