Statism, the greater good and the big lie
Posted: June 24th, 2010
In tonight’s show we boil it all down for you. The underlying principle of our civilisation has become the “greater good” at all costs, at the cost of truth, freedom and and even your life.
That’s right folks, in today’s democracy you may be lied to for the greater good, you may be enslaved for the greater good, and you may be killed for the greater good. So, what’s so “great” about it?
Listen to tonight’s show and find out.
In the second half I am joined by regular Joshua Jackson and Phil Davis from Truth Movement Australia also joins us for a yarn.

So playtoh , you think having access to funded facilities is good ? Not saying your wrong , but being able to make your own choice cant be a bad thing.
What will be next , having to do a safety course before you can handle a knife and fork.
The point Hereward was making is that we dont need all our decisions in life made for us .
Great show Hereward & Josh .

I am a teacher and I know that most parents could teach their children everything they need to know, including driving. Unfortunately we have been so socially engineered that we believe the government is our nanny and we can’t do anything for ourselves anymore… Is everyone taking crazy pills?

yes point taken, I agree, and I don’t want/like the government to nanny me and my children. However, I am sick and tired of their friggin’ excuses to make me drive like I am on crazy pills, geez down to 40km/h someplaces. if we had a system of driver education, doesn’t have to be gov’t, just a system that taught people how to drive, then they might leave us good drivers alone and have no excuses to monitor and slow us down. Schools and Universities only teach conformity, maybe road rules can be the one thing they can get right, given it’s a public utility and they can take 5yrs teaching you.

It’s up to Australians to take back their democracy and ensure politicans are our servants not our masters. It’s only through complacency to political affairs have we enabled politicians to assume control over the people, that they are not entitled to. Lies, corruption and mismanagement are the rule of the day but if we want to stop this, we must join in a common direction, not under the ego or rule of the party system. Read the book at http://www.aussieswannakiss.com and sign the petition - 1 million signatures will get a referendum to the high court to change the political system. It’s up to every single one of us, so if we’re serious, buy the book and sign the petition.

So Hereward, schools can teach anything that moulds
the mind but parents should teach driving? Imagine your child having access to facilities used by professionals - something you can’t provide. Not saying it’s right for governments to take over our cultural rites of passage, but a funded facility to establish and facilitate driving competency can’t be a bad thing.
On the note of Holocaust denial, you sound like a fool to assume that covering up historical facts has nothing to do with the present. How else will your children learn from previous generations mistakes - and understand how our very psyche is shaped by misinformation. People don’t go to jail just because they question something - it is precisely what they question that must be understood.
