Add the pressure applied by outside corporations like the United Nations, and the Media’s power and ability to manipulate public opinion and the peoples voice is lost, and with that our children’s and our world’s long term best interests.Let’s be honest if voting could bring change, the powers that be, would never let us do it.Unity has always been the answer, but with so many problems in this world, and the diversity of our education, we are divided in what drives us and why. On top of this the powers that be, whoever you think they might be, have too much to gain from disinformation, which is deliberate in its attempts to further divide us as a nation and a people.As social media began to allow access to the truth, so the major players took actions to control that information, or more so add just enough misinformation to ensure we remained divided, Groups like GetUp, March in March and various others were formed by the Labor/Greens coalition to try and control social networking as a political tool, just google and do some research.  For me, I believe we need to simply take back control, as individuals, to lead by example in a compassionate and equitable manner, and when we are not sure, take the approach of believing no one, and investigating any new groups or movement ourselves.While we are waiting for the world to change, it is important that we as individuals lead by example.·         *We must empower the right people and take away power from those who are ignorant             of our best interests, remembering they think money is power.·        * Buy local fresh produce straight from the farmers and producers, and pay cash.·        * Empower our children’s future by ensuring your hard earned money ends up in the                 right pockets, by buying local where ever possible to create jobs.·         *Step lightly on our planet, by adopting environmentally friendly practices, rather than               expecting a new tax that heads money into the wrong pockets to save you.·         *Help those in need, embrace protectionism, and watch over our children, our                           neighbour’s and your community’s. ·         *Oppose the sale of our farms, our water and our strategic assets.·         *Hold our supposed authorities to account, debate, question and stand up for your                    rights whenever you can·         *Do everything you can to avoid paying fines, become informed, learn the law, and                   fight for equity and fair play whenever you can, remembering to back up your mates                 when they stand up for their rights.·         *Plant food everywhere in the parks and gardens, they have watering systems, empty               paddocks, share the seeds; they are free in most of the fresh food you buy.·        * Show compassion, empathy and love, even with your enemy’s, because it does rub                 off.·         *Learn to value all life with equity and compassion, our animals need our voices as                   much as the most vulnerable in our society.·         *Educate your children to learn respect and tell the truth, and do it by setting a good                 example.·         *Live within your means; do not borrow for things you can live without.·         *Repair things that break where possible, rather than throw them away.·         *Do not vote, it only encourages them, and if you feel you have to, ensure you cast an              informed vote, but until we have genuine freedom of choice and a secure electoral                  system, our votes hold no value.·         *Associate with those of your choice not whom the governments decides.·         *It is none of the governments business as to what you wear your mode of transport or             who you love, so don’t let them tell you otherwise.·         *Lobby for what you believe in with your heart and soul.·         *Demand a “Bill of rights” to protect your children and make it retrospective on all                       legislation, and when they say no, ask why?          As soon as you think the future is no longer in our hands, you have not only given up,             you are showing disdain for your family, friends and the sacrifice of our forefathers,                 don’t do it.Mark Aldridge                  Home | SAVING OUR FOOD INDUSTRY 2013 | FARM DIRECT MARKETS SA | DODGY ELECTIONS THE TRUTH 2013 | THE RSPCA EXPOSED 2013 | VOTING 4 ANIMAL WELFARE | DAFWA undermine justice | VOTE NO TO AUST WITH OUT FARMS | WHY VOTE FOR AN INDEPENDENT | ABOUT MARK | STANDING UP FOR LOCAL BUSINESS | MARK BRIEF IDEALS OVERVIEW | THE DEMISE OF AUSSIE RIGHTS | THE AUSTRALIAN ALLIANCE | AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION  | CARBON TAX WHOLE STORY UPDATE  | DEMAND SUPPORT FOR DAIRY FARMS | BILL OF RIGHTS FOR AUSTRALIA | SA ELECTION FACTS FOR 2010/14 | FLUORIDE THE SIMPLE TRUTH | HEMP / CANNABIS EXPOSED" | WATER PROOFING South Australia | MY POLITICAL HISTORY 1999/2012 | CONTACT ME | WHERE DOES OUR TAX MONEY GO?
