Hungary Punished! EU Bans Orban’s Ruling Party For Not Opening Borders to Third World! by Vesti NewsPublished on Mar 21, 2019

Hungary's ruling party, headed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, was excluded from the European People's Party, which is the main political union in the EU.

How many MEPs are colluding and in the pocket of George Soros?

UKIP MEP Nigel Farage speaking today in a ‘Paradise Papers’ debate in the European Parliament, Strasbourg, demanded that MEPs disclose their political and financial interactions with George Soros’ Open Society Foundation which Soros funds to the tune of 18 billion dollars. ...But what’s not been said this morning and I think is relevant is that the funding of these investigations came from one George Soros.” ... Could you please give us a list of the meetings of all their representatives including George Soros yourself? And I think this Parliament should now set up a special committee to look into all of this and I say that because I fear we could be looking at the biggest level of international collusion in history.

Billionaire George Soros outlines his plan to save Europe - MSN.com Published 7:00 AM ET Tue, 29 May 201

Soros wants the EU to protect its external borders but keep them open for lawful migrants. He argued that the idea of a "fortress Europe" was unrealistic. He sketched out a plan to fund better education and unemployment in Africa at a cost of 30 billion euros ($34.7 billion) a year. He claimed this would stem those seeking refuge. Soros said the crisis is a European Union one and the financing could be arranged through the EU's "largely unused" borrowing capacity.

Media freedom is necessary. Cutting ABC budget might not mean cutting budget on free media. A recent development on media reports Aussie anti-terror 'gagging' bill: 'Shambolic,' reminds 'black comedy' should not include other issues but only on terrorism exclusively. Then it's acceptable for the moment. However, this Australian rules can't affect global media. Australian domestic activities on terrorism will not be covered by Australian media, then world media will not have much information although there will be other means.

Restricting media is not controlling media. Controlling a particular issue (domestic terrorism) is not controlling entire media. Media freedom in all other issues should be maintained. A healthy nation is a well-informed nation, with no misleading media controlled by a particular organization.

"Noam Chomsky": Why you can not have a Capitalist Democracy!

"Noam Chomsky": Why you can not have a Capitalist Democracy!



Free Trade is only good for money makers. Ordinary working people's lives are not part of it - unless social welfare system is improving as required for mass unemployment. Skilled workers are needed for various industries. Once they are unemployed for a long time, the country they live in will have a problem in industrial future. By pursuing cheap labour, a country will get rid of its own skilled labour it needs for various kinds of employment. By reducing the number of job types, workforce will have more competition in fewer available professions, stress, and waste (in effort and in budget).



Government incomes come from working people. Government's responsibility is to create jobs as it tax them. Government should consider self-sufficient system as much as trading globally.



Protecting workforce doesn't mean to keep them in the same jobs that are not productive any longer. But it means governments must create opportunities that are productive and easy for the workforce to adapt. If there aren't jobs that pay, or paying efficiently, governments should support the people who are working. Exporting these jobs to another country doesn't only make working people unemployed, it also costs the country's income by imports and lose skilled labour now solely relying on social welfare.



Australian social welfare system is very good. If it has the services that keep new graduates training for their desired professions and the unemployed skilled labours to keep working to maintain their skills, it will be even better while they keep searching for jobs that don't exist. In this situation, one possible opportunity for them is volunteering, they can be placed in  various kinds of volunteer jobs in other countries if they want to go.

Where Is Australia Secretly Going?

Alert! Obama Is Trying to Bypass Congress on the (TPP) Trans Pacific Partnership! 

This is the big problem. It’s like broad daylight robbery of American companies like Monsanto to rob whatever they want (of course just what they have done to American people, etc.) and I wonder how EU, Japan and Australian governments would be buying it. It’s the takeover of sovereignty from the people, and handed it to these corporations.  

About the TPP negotiations

Trans Pacific Partnership

Abbott stands by Trans-Pacific Partnership

All Australian political parties might accept it. Isn’t it about selling Australia?! Is this the future of Australia? The rich will be everything and people will be nothing. Australian government is too small and it has no chance to deny it - The same to other parties?!

Obama is now a salesman (?!) and different leaders are buying from him… G20 is just that! 

President Obama was talking mainly to his American base, and to the Republican Party in particular to work on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. His vision is an agreement that will abolish government regulation of the environment, abolish regulation of banking, and implicitly nullify the Dodd-Frank Act. If a bank misbehaves or a government requires higher reserve requirements, then under the new international law that Mr. Obama is pushing, the government have to pay the private bank as if it weren’t regulated. And if a government imposes environmental fines on a company for polluting the environment, the government will have to pay the company whatever it would have made if it didn’t have any such fines.

In political science and sociology, elite [dominance] theory is a theory of the state which seeks to describe the power relationships in contemporary society. The theory posits that a small minority, consisting of members of the economic elite, policy-planning networks (which include not only think tanks, but also part of academia, see Econned) and selected members of "professional class", holds the most political power and that they acquire this power bypassing the democratic elections process and are able to hold into it for a long time (see Two Party System as polyarchy).

Through positions in corporations and corporate boards, as well as the influence over the policy-planning networks through financial support of foundations`` or positions with think tanks or policy-discussion groups, members of the "elite" are able to exert dominant power over the policy decisions of the corporations in their own favor (outsized bonuses is just one example here) and subdue the national governments to the interests of those corporations. A recent example of this can be found in the Forbes Magazine article [1] (published in December 2009) entitled The World's Most Powerful People, in which Forbes lists the 67 people, which the editors consider to be the most powerful people in the world (assigning one "slot" for each hundred million of humans). http://www.softpanorama.org/Skeptics/Political_skeptic/Elite_theory/index.shtml

Australian Liberal Party has appeared to have chosen this Elite Domination ideology as its main policy. Recent political developments, Liberal’s policies on education etc. indicate there is a possible hidden policy/agenda they are working for. I wish they don't!

the Teaching of the Buddha on Killing - Bad Killing and Good Killing

From Buddhist point of view, killing can cause much suffering to the killer - in this lifetime, afterlife can be much more pain in lower world, and from that one would have to pay for many lifetimes. Only after all the karmic debt is paid back, one would live normal again. 

People, animals, etc are killed all the time. I don't know their past life crimes. But in the past long period, we all did something wrong - just have done something wrong in this very lifetime. Due to their past bad deeds, many animals, humans, etc have to be killed, robbed, etc. as paying back their debts. 

Existence is long, long in the past, and can be long in the future if one doesn't know the way out and escape. We all are in the ocean of existence - just the way fish are in the oceans. In the ocean of existence, we exists - death is nothing more than transformation. We transform inside the wombs (or eggs), or outside the wombs. 

Transforming into different forms of living things is very painful - it's called birth or rebirth. Everyone transforms by death, just the way one transforms from an embryo, toward a baby, toward a teenager, toward adult, toward old age, and finally toward death. At death, one transforms into whatever one deserves to become. 

If one has debts, in terms of greed, one will transform into a ghost (peta), or an asura (demon). If one has debts, in terms of anger, one can be reborn in lower world, to be suffering in the experience of lower world. If one has debts, in terms of ignorance/delusion, one will be transforms into an animal. 

Transformation is due to perception as well. Even a very good person, who has little debt to be reborn in suffering state, can be deceived by his/her own perception (or memory). 

By recalling something, one starts to desire - leading to attachment, leading to transformation related to whatever one recalls. 

If one recalls good thing, what one has done as good deeds, or truths learned by heart, or someone who lives by good deeds, one can transform into good, according to what one recalls. If one recalls bad things ... 

Perception works this way. It's very important to understand what perception is all about. 

The Buddha taught us that we must understand body and mind. He taught us the way to understand these. One must know everything changes. One must know whatever starts to exist must cease to exist too, and transformation takes place in the process of kammic law. 

The Buddha taught we must sit, still the mind, observe the physical body as we sit. Then we will notice what happening to the physical body and gradually understand how the physical is working. As we sit, still the mind, for long, the body will show its true nature to us. All we do is sit still and watch. We must not stand up and leave before the body shows us its true nature - if we want to know it. By doing so, by realizing, we will be able to KILL our ignorance once and forever. 

Then what will the body show? And how can we kill our ignorance? 

As the Buddha taught, if we sit, try to still the mind, and noticing in breath and out breath, we will gain mental strength in stilling. This must be developed first. If we can still the mind for long, with this help, we will be able to sit and observe our physical body for long till it starts to show its true nature to us, and through everything it has to show. Thus, we must develop our mind stronger so that we can keep it still for a long time. Gradually we can get there. As we sit, stilling the mind, and sitting for long, the body will start showing its true nature, as pain, as heat, etc. and eventually we will pass all these events. At the end of these events, we can experience something special. There we can conquer our own evil self or delusion. 

FOR LONELY PEOPLE...

Let’s Meet At Alice Springs

The future reality is quite predictable and inevitable. Only countries with realistic preparations will be able to keep their desired destinations. The economy and modern lifestyles that are heavily relying on energy efficiency and affordability will demand more energy for sustainable productivity. Design, technology and good planning will help the leaders with clear vision of the future reality to be able to use their full capabilities. Population planning and infrastructure planning will make everything different. Australia can be different because of its great potentials. They are unique to Australia as opportunities. Domestic structures and domestic production and consumption might become more important during the low time of international economy.  

Sustainable population growth is a solution for economy. Should Australia invite more immigrants who want to stay as Australian citizens or foreign citizens or just visiting and doing business from here? Australia could provide residential and business venues that are not any lesser quality than anywhere in China and the Middle East.

Empty buildings in modern ghost towns aside, success stories should be looked into. Australia can take similar achievements. That depends on how fast Australian businesses can change from producing the products for export to producing the products needed domestically in a short period whenever international economy is down. But that’s not possible unless there are a huge number of visitors coming in for all reasons, especially for shopping for the products they can’t online and elsewhere. Although that’s the solution, how can Australia do to bring them in?

The vast land mass of Australia is both for now and future because of its desirable characters:

Yes, Australia can. It has a good selling point – transparent politics. A recent good economic management must be an example for foreigners not to overlook Australia in the future whence this is one of Australia’s strengths.

Yes, the stability of the natural environment, social environment and political environment are quite above average for desirability for settlement, for visiting, for educating the young and for doing business. The point is Australian population will (and must) grow gradually. It has to cope with such growth and dealing with aging population. Australia needs population growth that is not for environmental disaster.

Yes, Australia can say this is a safe haven for good people.

 The value of Australian currency is also not too high at the moment – it should be. Once Australia stops exporting the natural resources, other than coal, that are now on demand, Australian economy will become only to base on the smart brains. Exports of Australian products to the world will be based on arts, engineering and designs that come from human resources. The current high value in currency is good for now although being “over-valued” is not. The economic nature is – it needs stability in everything – including currency. When Australia has to focus more on visitors, it must have its currency value that is welcoming the visitors.

But that cannot happen without the right planning: in building future towns and in the kind and quality of architecture. They are also vital to make Australia a secure place, both in economic sustainability and in environmental sustainability, in the future.

Future security of energy can come from Australian solar sector. The right planning must include energy security and affordability. Renewable energy can also be very affordable if the costs in infrastructure are low. Energy exists where sunlight exists, and wind too, in the Australian desert. It’s the place geographically and geologically stable, and inviting from the future.

The true challenge for developing into the desert is salinity – not the heat. But the dryness of the desert can be a favour to such developments.

Affordability will come from living inside energy field – i.e. the desert. Australia is a dry place but it can afford to have sufficient water. Although draught is a challenge for Australia, it’s not as bad as floods that usually cause most expensive destructions in Australia. If Australia can harvest all flood water it gets annually without depriving its natural environment, its need for water is not a problem anymore. That will need lots of dams and underground dams. But dams too must not become environmental disaster. As there might be no underground rivers in the desert, these underground dams are for storing the excesses of flood water. Long reservoirs that are built under the roads, just to reduce the costs from building infrastructures separately, will have good capacity for water supply. Australia could even afford to have farmlands that don’t irrigate the river water (too much).

When developing into the desert, underground reservoirs will be where to store these excessive amounts of water. Roads, railways, powerlines, water pipelines, telecommunication lines, and other services can incorporate together in one single structure. That means it’s the best to build them in straight line. They are to come from all major cities and they can meet somewhere in the middle of the desert. High rise and low buildings can be built along them with the right pace and space with greenhouse parks and other civilian infrastructures.

Wherever a traveller wants to go, just go and will be there without any mistake – only to need to make sure this way or that way. As all in straight line, construction and maintenance costs will be cheap – that means running cost will be cheap and affordable. Everything can become high speed.  To keep these advantages, there should be no branching roads etc. but only a single line from everyone major city.

Australia wants to see environmentally friendly electric cars, right? And also they must become driverless, right? As long as the computer in the car can cope, the passengers will always be safe, right? Also they must have the right speed and roads should have no traffic jam, right? The future should also be free of noisy jets, flying over our heads day and night – although we will need them for overseas, right? These are the reasons why straight line must be applied in everything. Just as much as we need straight people, we should have straight cities too.

Let the forest lands for the trees. We need them as much as we need the wildlife for national dignity, food security, water and energy. And free from major flood too. In the desert, Australia, rich with natural resources, can have solar harvesters and cities under their shades, with a-kilometre-wide roads and world’s fastest electric trains that attract the tourists who would like to have fun rides.  Those who want to live in the bush may live. Those who will need to live in modern buildings will move to these new areas whilst the population will be gradually growing. Also solar technology will become its best quality. Existing cities will dwindle in population but wealthy people may still enjoy the deep forest areas even as their private lands.

Is rebuilding Australia possible? If not, why not? If it doesn’t happen in a hundred year, it could happen in three hundred years. Australia started without a city.

As everything in straight line, everything will be seen. This is where Australian architects and designers have to put their best practices. It must be for Australians only environment because it’s for the making of Australia to have a new look. To be preserving Australianness with its roots and backgrounds, Australia must come up with a solution to achieve another unique ability for making Australian culture that includes all types of Australians and half Australians. Repeating a basic design, growing up upon it, and branching out from it, will bring up Australianness in culture. A group of leading designers and architect might come up with an agreeable foundation in Australian design to start as a seed of future Australianness in culture.

My dream is about high-rise buildings and residential buildings put together along the single line highways. Future constructions are my hope. I would like to see lots of construction. The high-rise buildings can be closer to the roads for the workers to work there and they should be kilometres apart where residential buildings locate between two skyscrapers. Those skyscrapers will have education sector, health sector, business sector, etc. The residential buildings will be placed at a distance from the main roads for good comfort.

Here energy is abundance and pollution free. Wherever geologically stable, geothermal sector can thrive too. And there will be more benefits. I just can’t think of any failure except if there was WWIII but it would be better than having major cities in blocks as we live now. Here, all city areas will be clean and free from vandalism as will be always seen. But white collar crimes would be the only things for Australia to have to fear. 

Australia will also have (enough) robots in the workforce. But all humans should be workers too that they can support reasonable lifestyles – sharing is everything, both for peace and dignity. Robots can work in the heat of the sun where it’s too much for humans. Where humans can work, robots must not become ideal tools. And that restriction is for cool Australia with its dignified population. Australia could become an important country globally. Many migrants from hi-tech countries would be attracted into Australia to call it their (second) home as affordability will be what Australia could constantly offer. Australia can be for both Australians and foreigners.

Here the quality of the right educations will become more important than ever. I hope Australian governments will invest more in the right educations and support and equip its future workforce with ever besting effort. I believe Australia will be ready for the future if not yet.

Herein, I think the business sector has been supporting the educational sector in two ways already: selecting and supporting the right students and supporting institutions for particular courses and teachers teaching these courses. In Australia, collectively or privately, I think, the way supporting and investing for the desired education is important. Investing in the future productivity guarantees stability growth. Investing morally will guarantee a good future. The brightest students from all levels of education should be able to achieve as much as they are capable of. It must not be the lack of money and the lack of facility that prevent them from achieving. Nurturing the students, who have the potentials which are definitely what the business sectors want, can ascertain to get the needed number of skilled workers. The institutions that are responsible for such skilled workers should definitely get support too so that they won’t have any shortages. The teachers who are responsible for nurturing future workforces should also get what they need and deserve. Focusing on all three – students, institutions and teachers, is necessary. I believe that investing in those who have potentials, not waiting until they show up with their achievements, is what business sector should do. This should become a normal cultural activity so these students should achieve what they have aimed to do in their lives. The participation of the parents and relatives, the government, the institutions and business should be the form of supporting the students. Investing in own children is of course natural, cultural and necessary. However, that only guarantees who will become rich later but not how the national economy should take shape to compare with the economies and skilled labours of other countries. This direct involvement is, I think, better than blindly relying on annual results of students. Instead on working on unrewarding jobs and wasting time, all students who are capable of achieving should be focusing on achieving.

AH! I forgot to consider the protesters (like myself sometimes). A single road means traffic disaster if the protesters go on the highway as it seems that’s the only place to do the blockades. I don’t know I have any solution for that at all. But it might be 300 years away from now.

The need of a cool leadership isn’t dubious. A good planning is a must. It must be to wrap the right ideas, technologies and designs together. The future is tomorrow and it’s not far away. Facing the reality needs courageous decision makers with clear visions – not the risk-takers. Australia must produce a mass of visionaries through its high standard education systems. It’s all for the better future for the human environment and natural environment Australia can’t risk losing.

Disclaimer:

With a sincere belief, I am dreaming and will keep doing so. Now all I see is the bright side of such an idea that has been developing. I write as much as I know. Although my writing seems crossing the academic highway, I don’t intend to make it get the other side that I don’t know anything about. Instead of in-depth discussion, I only intend to express my view and how I see. 

Hum In My Ears

Hum Experience

The sound is like nonstop bell ringing. The sound is not of metal but glass, very sharp and its tones are so close. At night, it is stronger because of silence. So whenever it is quiet, it rings louder. If concentrate on it, it gets louder. Sometimes tones change and become a different frequency. This change is very clear. Sometimes the ears are blocked by the tones sometimes the ear is open and frequency change. That’s what I remember for now.

The Start

It started when I was still very young, about 15 in Burma. I read a meditation article and it said the ringing can appear when the concentration becomes stronger. And soon I noticed it happened to me. It never left me ever since.

Emotion

First I didn’t feel bad about it. However, sometimes later it became something serious and made me stressed. I felt like being imprisoned. It was still bearable. It lasted until I accepted it and not resisting anymore. I became to accept it because I had no choice but to calm my mind and control it not to feel too bad. Now understand the two conditions of mind and I try not to let go of my mind to the wrong side.  

Physical Symptom

I always feel my ears are blocked. I have to pick the ear web very often. When I was young, my ears were not oily. I saw my friend ear oily and I thought it might be good and it became to happen to me. I was told to pick the ear web when I was young. I did it often and even hurt my ears. Water got into the ears often. It seems the shape of the ears is not water proof. Actually I wash my head everyday and this could be the case causing water to get in. I think my hair and ears are naturally oily.

Its Effect in My Life

Often I lose concentration when I am listening to something because I am hearing the hum and what I’m listening to appear unclear. People sometimes asked me to learn to listen because I appeared not listening. Yes, I was not listening properly because I couldn’t hear properly. It’s more disturbing when answering the phone. But I can still hear though as the hum is only distracting. As I don’t listen much, I became to speak more and think more. And now I usually write my ideas down.

As Meditation Object

I sometimes listen to the hum. The more attention I pay to it, the louder it becomes. And it is also enjoyable. I think it’s good to listen to it and use it for a good reason. 

As I can't stop hearing it, now I'm hearing it in my left ear. When the environment is quiet, I can hear hum in both ears. Expensive experience.  

DEFENCE

Australia is a small country with limited numbers of defence personals. However, it needs all levels of soldiers: those with small arms as special units or ordinary units, those handle sophisticated arms and those handle the systems. Australia cannot effort its number but ideas and wealth. As the main concern is defence, Australia must make best effort in it.

Even with sophisticated arms, such as fighter jets, submarines, tanks and ships, Australia can only afford small numbers. Obviously that is not enough to defend itself. Hence it must afford for strategy and ideology.

The advantage is Australia is an island continent. In any scenario, the aggressors must cross the oceans to reach Australia by air or by sea. So Australia can foresee the advancing enemies in any form. Australia can afford long-range defence strategies such as long range missiles, short range missiles, fighter jets and reliable radar system. However, the weakness is they can fight against slow and visible targets such as ships and bombers.

If the enemies afford pre-strikes before invasion, it can be hard for Australia. Pre-strike can come in the forms of rockets, fighter jets and satellite. Or such attacks can come via invasion of nearest countries such as Papua.

So there are three main points I found:

1.      Limited defence personals who must cover all oceans surrounding Australia

2.      Strategy and ideological based defence system

3.      And regional cooperation for defence.

Australia cannot afford losing its good soldiers. Australia must do everything to recover its skilled and experience elite defence personals. Australia must have most reliable defence technology suitable for its own ideology. Australia must support neighbouring countries for political stability and economic development so that they will be able to defend themselves.

Australia must make sure it doesn’t make a mistake by strengthening its potential enemies. All Australian neighbours are small countries except Indonesia who doesn’t seem to have an interest in becoming a potential aggressor – at least not in coming decades. The reason is it is democratised recently and is mainly concerned about economy.

As defence personals are limited, Australia must produce highly skilled units armed with most reliable technology. There will be limitedly skilled personals too and they should play a role in defending from home.

My particular vision is the naval with submarines.

I don’t see battle ships have a good role to play in defence except for transporting cargos.  They are so visible and need a huge number of skilled personals. It’s risky to send these skilled people into the battle field directly. By keeping them available for defence as long as possible, Australia will have an advantage. They will hold the technological based positions.

I know there is long range missile base (or bases) located in mainland Australia. They are best for deterring invading ships and heavy bombers and also good for attacking on targets far away. However, for pre-strike stages, during the attacks of the enemy are aimed on individual targets in Australia, such as city or town or ships or certain infrastructure, it can be hard to defend with missiles alone. For that reason, Australia needs mobile weaponry system – just like mobile missiles.

Australia has to defend itself at ocean. As ships are expensive and demanding, small submarines are ideals. They should be handled by a small team of crews who are not isolated from the base. The base itself should be mobile too acting as a mother ship. This will give opportunity for hiding the operations and stay illusive. Building up huge submarines as mother ships can be extremely expensive. Yet Australia can certainly afford a few. Mother ship, as deep diving submarines, will independently supply a fleet of small submarines, maybe no more than 30, with ammunitions and fuel and small repair works. There will be cargo ships but must be invisible too; perhaps they’re shallow diving submarines. Hence all naval activities will be done underwater.  Mother ships will never engage with the enemy’s warships. Their roles are supply and repair only.

The smaller submarines will have no more than six crews for 3 shifts. Each will have SAM system and anti-sub systems. They will not be responsible for attacking warships but reporting about them only. However, they should have flexible capability to face warships. To stay a nose ahead of latest systems, they should be able to dive deeper on demands and should have anti-sonar (radar?) shape/system especially on the back if possible. There must be an escape system for the crews sacrificing the rest of submarines (weapons & fuel tanks) other than the engine and crews chamber where they operate all systems – hence lighter, faster submarine. Weaponry systems should be installed outside the submarines just like the systems of fighter jets so that resupply can be done by a mother ship with fast speed. All external weaponry systems should be swift small torpedoes which do not destroy the whole ships and submarines but only to stop them from advancing. The reason is to make the subs lighter and able to carry enough hard points.*

The subs must be able to operate their systems whilst staying illusive especially when it operates SAM.  Both mother ships and attack subs must be supported by the crews from main bases and many of their systems should be handled remotely – with secret communication system. This will reduce overcrowding and the need to carry the supplies for crews. s

They must be able to operate in the water of friendly countries too.

Certainly the entire system is made of systems as a single network of defence system. Mainland missiles systems, air force systems and navel systems must work together as defence. What I’ve written so far is only for defence strategy. With enough numbers of submarines, mainland radar system, mainland missile systems and air force systems will do well although will be extremely costly. Australia will be able to have technology but it will need its allies for material supports.

Fighter jets do not need to go to the sea but to defend towns and cities only. In this case, defending the military bases are the tasks of air force so only light aircrafts that do not need large airfields are needed. Hence, visible airfields are not required. If underground airbases are possible, they should be desirable from which the fighters can hover for entry and exit. There can be many deep holes both real and unreal located away from major landmarks which are the natural targets during war time.

Whilst Australia places its defence network mainly in the northern areas, enemy’s submarines can penetrate it through by going around the continent or launch attacks from its allied region – either from Africa or South America even if such thing is not real now, it could be real in the future so it’s not a waste to consider such scenario.

I don’t know about anti-missile systems and how effective they can be. The best defence strategy is the world should be free from dangerous weapons.

For the Australia’s allies, they may have independent systems for their own requirements. I think Australia can afford that unless it’s a political issue. As seeing/spotting the enemy before first is important, it’s the main defence advantage for Australia. Having appropriate laws for defence is important. Also having agreements with allied countries for what Australia will do in certain events is also important for cohesive strategy. Australia may hold some secrets of its own though but rather in technological issues and the movements/activity of its military. As long as Australia can keep its illusive secrets, it will do well – that is its economy, diplomacy, skill and technology.

The main reason for defence is to keep peaceful prosperous conditions in Australia, in Asia Pacific Region and the world. It’s not just the interest of Australia but for wider human society. For the best defence, relatively peaceful world is desirable. As that’s the required condition, Australia should actively engage in internal and regional peace efforts as its foreign policy. Regionally it’s more important to have peaceful prosperous conditions. As conditioned by that, Australia must choose to play a negotiator role in any war scenario between its two neighbouring countries whether they are insignificant militarily. Australia must work with all concerned countries in the region to solve every crisis (mainly between two countries) Australia must have a tradition of negotiation and diplomacy especially regionally – as a non-permanent member of the UN’s Security Council. Yet Australia is responsible its own security and should be actively working for it. Relatively democratic political system has been so far the best system in the security of humanity – Germany and Japan are great evidences who are now as global leaders in economy and technology rather than war. Promotion of democracy around the world will make a better defence.

Obviously the main concern is which country spends what kind of money for its military for what type of efforts and strategy at all. If military is just for solving social problem and employment, certain military activities must not have been at stages of materializing. No doubt the way a country spends its money on military is the indication of its intention. By no means, Australia should be one of the countries that directly or indirectly support a bad military intention of a country. 

*[Winning the war is the whole point. Making sad memory is another. There is no point to kill so many lives if possible to avoid. Once the enemy is stopped somehow, the job is done.

Hypocrisy

It’s a very common word. It’s been defined as it’s been used in many ways. But I think it needs explained once again because I think I have slightly different views. I rather give it simple supplementary explanation.

Once I learned about three common hypocrisies:

1.      Aging: everyone is a subject of aging and gradually getting older and certainly has become or will become an old person – the closer to death, the less physical beauty. By knowing the fact, whether with negligence or denial, if someone loathes an old person, then this is hypocrisy.

2.      Illness: it’s same as above. Everyone is a subject of illness and pain. Whether getting a severe disease or a simple headache or even lighter illness such as skin rush or just mosquito bite, all living things are equal for this reason. By knowing this fact, whether by negligence or denial, if a person loathes an ill person, this is also hypocrisy.

3.      Death: everyone fears of pain. The reality is death is also a pain. We’re all going to die one day – even if young now. Yet some people tend to loathe the dead body. This is also hypocrisy if not comparing with one’s own body and loathing it also. We know a living body keeps dying every moment and the hair, the finger nails, toe nails, dead skin, fat (or oil), and all sort of evidences are always indicating the truth.

These three are from the Buddha Himself. Maybe I’ve missed some information which is also important. Perhaps there is the forth: dirtiness caused by wastes coming out of the body. But I rather give my own points of view based on what I’ve learned so far.

We cannot be free from hypocrisy because of emotions – the human nature of psychology. Greed, anger, delusion, pride and jealousy are the very reasons because they make us to overlook ourselves.

Someone becomes greedy because of something valuable. Otherwise, that person would be normal – although that person has not abandoned greed completely. That is the way how greed appears, comes out of its domain, and does its activity. But we, with little ignorance, know greed is bad and will definitely oppose others for their greed yet we can become greedy. At the moment when greed is present, a person is hypocrite. 

Anger, pride and ignorance appear, come out of their own domains, and do their activities – just that way too. But we know, with little ignorance, how bad anger is. When we get angry, we’re both angry and hypocrite.

Ignorance is the very reality we cannot avoid. Nobody can know everything when we do something. Ignorance itself doesn’t make us hypocrite directly but it supports greed, anger, pride and jealousy and so there is hypocrisy.

All conscious living organisms are not free from these realities. If we get greedy or angry and do not dislike ourselves and correct our minds, that is a practice of hypocrisy.

Here jealousy and envy are also hypocrisy. They are based on selfishness so they’re selfish hypocrisy – sounding much worse. More than that, covetousness is a real problem as it’s about wanting others’ properties – any or all of money, wealth, position, love, just anything at all. Here healthy competition itself falls into this category as raising/fixing the price to make bigger profit can be immoral covetousness.

So is there anything left which is not hypocrisy? Of course just remove the selfishness and delusion; anything can be done without hypocrisy this way. Whatever action taken from the self perspective, like I do it, I want it, etc. can be tainted with hypocrisy because immoral self-interest could be there; otherwise it’s moral and not hypocrisy.

Fire burns because it gets fuel. Material things are fuel for greed, anger, pride, jealousy and ignorance. If someone doesn’t consider these realities and loathe others for their greed, anger, pride, jealousy and ignorance, then that’s hypocrisy. When one has yet to have abandoned these hypocrisies, disliking others for having any hypocrisy, one is obviously hypocrite.

Why should a person who has greed of his/her own criticise someone else for having/showing greed? Why can a person criticise others’ anger, pride, jealousy and ignorance?

We want to be intelligent, smart, have everything, famous, loved, cared, looked after, followed, safe, moral, satisfied, pleased, happy, want to be treated well and nicely, and all sort of good quality of life are wanted. Why can one harbour such bad emotions if one is not totally lacking self-control and hopelessly ignorant?

Criticising, judging others, and not criticising and judging oneself, it’s a way of practicing hypocrisy. But it’s better to judge and analyse oneself because one can improve oneself this way.

But we should pardon the nature of politics because we need a peaceful society in which political activities must exist healthily. If politicians have the condition to practice their best and serving the common interests, then what will we say?- it’s what we actually want as a society.

If a person practices hypocrisy willingly than that person is immoral. It’s hard to control the mind but it’s good to have not sped and crushed. We cannot expect animals and other organisms to practice morality. But as intelligent beings, we humans can know and have conscience. It’s always great to increase conscience.

Ignorance is actually the predominant factor of all existence and occurrence. The dark shadow of ignorance casting by all individual living organisms is so vast that we have to live in the dark most of the time. This way we actually affect one another with borrowed ideas. That shadow is the great shadow of life. We each casts a little shadow and make it big blanketing black shadow of oneness so fearsome that it engulfs everyone. That’s actually our own contribution as a global society of the world. Whatever we do, act, say... is not free from our ignorance – meaning we’re not perfect and our actions cannot be perfect ideologically even when the action is the only right thing to do; still we do it with delusion more or less. The contribution of our ignorance we make to one another is what we actually have in common. Not all of us are just like that though. Sometimes sages come and shine the light of truth. Whenever such a sage appears, we rather not miss his/her teachings.
