It's a chilling scam, a trick, a fraud, that has been perpetrated on all of us. Melbourne, NYC, London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona etc We believed we were building, maintaining & caring for our "Home". Our Cities. Melbourne was always my favourite having lived in London, Miami, Hamburg, Munich, Paris & Barcelona. We abided by her Laws, kept the streets tidy, protected heritage & architecture, promoted her around the World, all believing we were investing in a shared future for our City. But the Politicians saw things differently. Them and their corporate partners. To them these places were not Homes, they were businesses. Businesses that WE built & now they have disenfranchised us all from. The "Stakeholders" are in control. But surely WE are the Stakeholders? Nobody builds a business over generations simply to hand it to a person who did none of the work. Or in this case various corporations. Blackrock has certainly been permitted to get its foot well and truly in Australia's door and in fact now has a Monopoly in Supermarkets, Hardware & Superfunds. Would Blackrock hand us their Gains? Absolutely not. And we certainly didn't hand them our Homes. But we didn't need to. Because our Governments have allowed them to simply take it. Stakeholders don't own Melbourne, London, Paris or NYC I resent the fact that we now have to find a way to "Fight for our cities, our Countries" in a War like no other. An aggressive Corporate takeover. Commonplace in the corporate World, not commonplace in Sovereign Nations. If they aren't working "For the People" then they simply aren't OUR Governments. They are corporate partners of those involved in a hostile takeover bid of something they have no jurisdiction to take. None. It's why there is now 2 versions of the Australian Government. a. The Commonwealth of Australia b. The body Corporate Australian Government b. being listed in the Governance, Performance & Accountability Act of 2013 as "Legally Separate from the Commonwealth" Are our Governments a. or b.? I think it's about time we found out. Because if it's b. then they have no jurisdiction over us at all & potentially have a massive conflict of interest. I have no issue with a corporate side of Government, but surely it must still be "For the People" or "For the Nation"? Not out for itself like some nameless, faceless, greedy International Corporation? There are 2 sports fields here with a fence-line between them. We are on one side playing soccer by soccer rules. Our Governments are over the fence playing rugby by rugby rules. We keep running to the fence and telling them they are playing by the wrong rules. But they were never playing soccer, they're playing a different game entirely. And they've helped themselves to our money to do it. And I reckon, that's illegal.
