25.01.2022 The course of Humanity seems to be directed towards two goals. One is political and the other is economic. Politically humanity is expected to change its institutions to bring an ever-increasing number of its members to participate in political power. In the economics humanity clearly aims at the improvement of the conditions of the lower classes. There are two ideologies to improving those conditions in my observations. One is through faith in the principles of freedom in ...Continue reading

25.01.2022 The financial irresponsibility of the NT Government is not without southern State competition. Victorian debt that was $8.1 Billion last year is over $50 billion this year, a rise of over 400%. The NT government looks relatively well managed in comparison, increasing its debt of $6.2Billion to $10 Billion in 2020. However, our labour force that was about 188,000 has shrunk dramatically and when the Non-taxation dependent roles of Government, NGO’s and Grant reliant entities ...are removed that leaves about 63,000 actual wealth creators supporting a public debt burden of $158,000 each. This burden on wealth creators by THE MOB, the NTG is no incentive for them to work harder, only for them to leave. The Australian Federal Government and the State and Territory Governments financial irresponsibility has made economic failure look almost inevitable. The Australian annual rate of growth predicted to be 2.9% for 2020 has due to the intervention of the Government become a reduction of -6.7% whilst inflation is expected to go well above 2% with a trade war looming and import restrictions from aggressive trade neighbours. The NT the economy may have contracted by over 1.5% last financial year, there is an expectation that the delayed budget may provide data of a drop over -10% at a time the NT Government is seeking to borrow even more for a range of unpopular enterprises. Is it any wonder the government wishes to place restrictions on cash reserves and Trades? The federal government can’t effectively control the spending habits of its Premiers and Ministers, the high court full of revisionist social justice warriors with virtuous regressive policies (they call themselves progressives, that is just another gaslight) won’t support them and the local judges have all been appointed by Attorney generals who won’t let them forget who gave them their $700k plus year jobs. Victoria with a population of 6.36Million people some 25 times that of the NT espouses its own economic prowess by stating their debt is only 5 times that of the NT. It’s like watching economists of 2 failed states compete to see who is shitter than who? The reality is that both are shit and the public is just fed up with the crap!

25.01.2022 I've observed as people get older, they become more frustrated at the complexities of life. The obstructions put in place and the reasons for it. As people historically fail to learn and become more ignorant, they seek passive control and direction from outside sources, be it religion, governments or family. However, that isn't the role of governments. The Government was mandated for 3 reasons, an army to defend against tyranny, police to deter crimes and a judiciary to enfor...ce contracts. These come under the mandate of ensuring liberty and security of the citizens. The Government was supposed to be the refs, cos as we are all aware they definitely aren't the best players, or even reasonably competent. The Government has no place in any other industry for any prolonged period, because Governments does not provide a solution, they create bureaucracies. Therein lies the truth of a civil society that most struggle with, there are no (final) solutions, only trade-offs. Governments were given term limits to ensure that if they make bad trades or decisions, the people can remove them non-violently. Competition, whether it be between different levels of Government or business, does a much more effective job than a singular government at protecting people and consumers, its what's known as an economic truism, its the requirement of a free market, and essential liberty, a basic human need. The truly effective way of ensuring we aren't overtaken by a paranoid overbearing and authoritarian regime is by creating differing obstructive levels of Government. These compete for the same resources so that they aren't competing against the public, although they are generally funded by taxpayers. This obstruction is a necessary evil to ensure that Government intervention does not expand or occur too regularly. There is very little evidence, if any, apart from the defence of a nation, where Government intervention has not created far more extensive and more complicated problems. In essence, the Government becomes its own obstruction, through parliamentary hierarchies, debates and filibustering, which is by design, because there is no more significant way of protecting the people from tyrants. Historically, in the last 100 years, democide has led to at least over 150 million deaths, it is estimated to be over 300 Million. However, when you get into the 10s of millions, people become pretty apathetic. Singular governments, only serve to speed up the inevitable pathway between eventual tyranny by the few corrupted and evil over the generally apathetic and distracted public actually surviving, thriving, living and dying. When I observe elderly narcissists or ex-public servants dictating their frustration at pesky interfering state governments and annoying democratic processes, I can acknowledge the system sometimes works. However, to be an aging dictator without the death toll, it must really frustrate the old bugger.

24.01.2022 Rather be safe than Sorry! As a child no smarter or dumber than most 8-year-olds in 1984, I observed the rhetoric and fearful bigotry of many in society over the discovery of AIDs. The initial reports allayed the fears and stoked the bigotry of many as Homosexuals and Drug addicts were quickly identified as the carriers and those most at risk from the deadly disease. At first, even prominent people in powerful political positions balked at providing more significant funding ...Continue reading

24.01.2022 "Aren’t boys and girls or people of every colour allowed to make different decisions on how they choose to spend their time and live their lives?" Not according to the MOB!

23.01.2022 There are many fools I have met with integrity, I respect the integrity, they are not evil, even if their idea might be, they are just ignorant, I too am ignorant in many things, so would I judge myself as harshly as I might judge them? Best to share the idea, support it, however, be willing to listen to others. This is a skill I have not mastered, and I practice regularly.

22.01.2022 The high cost of crime in the NT Crime isn't just a nuisance. Crime, violence, and especially juvenile criminality is an expensive luxury. It is a luxury the most vulnerable and poor would rather do without, however, they don't have that choice. The Northern Territory is a vast array of small townships, communities, and nomadic family groups with a couple cities in the mix. The prices for simple goods, including fruit, vegetables, consumables and essentials, are often substan...Continue reading

20.01.2022 There was a sharp increase in the "MOB mentality in Australia in the mid-1990s. This set the Northern Territory Government up for it’s first Labor Party in 2001. Before that, the previous Country Liberal Party had failed to capitalise on the rest of Australia’s Economic Success with the de-unionisation of the port system that led to a tremendous drop in transportation costs and time around the country. The NT Government still remained annexed and overnight postage was near ...Continue reading

20.01.2022 I read this as a youngster in my Poetry phase, I've thought of it often, it allowed my to forgive myself for an ego at times too passionate for those around me, few thought me arrogant, some thought me confident, that I have always struggled with. We all need purpose, we all want significance and yet we fail to see it within ourselves and instead rely on those around us. Be careful who you open your heart to, who you open your mind to and who you expect to see in the mirror, sometimes your timing is wrong, and the Man you hoped to see, hasn't arrived yet.

15.01.2022 One of the Dumbest Idea’s I constantly hear from politicians and worse from "virtue signallers" from all walks of life is the assumption that we could evenly or randomly redistribute incomes, access, opportunities, jobs, recognition and resources without somebody doing something wrong. Whether it is political crusaders, bureaucratic empire creators or the ever-growing grievance merchants that build on this assumption of altruism and a utopia where no crime or violence ever oc...Continue reading

15.01.2022 Each day these restrictions and lock downs takes us farther from all we could hope to be or do. We gain nothing but heartbreak, and lose everything we cherish. Our lives erode and diminish, our children see no future except several years full of anguish and death. These deaths not caused by a virus or disease, NO! deaths caused by government intervention, the bigotry of those who think they know better than the individual at personal health care. I was taught by my Nana Whitton, and teach this lesson to my children, be far more fearful of those that espouse their Virtue, far more so than those with vices, be it drugs, gambling or trauma, for there is no regulation to the conscience of those who think they are virtuous.

14.01.2022 As I look at the empty commercial property sites, the signs saying for lease, whilst other small operators advertising for workers, I recall the phrases I heard from politicians on both sides of the political spectrum and news media reporters alike about how brave it was for men and women to stay at home, and sacrifice their freedom for the sake of the vulnerable. The words still seem ridiculous to me. After losing over two dozen friends to suicide, one friend to the restriction of non-essential by-pass surgery, several recently hospitalised or dead from a pulmonary embolism caused by blood clots, the only ones I see that benefited from this government intervention were the maggots and flies.

14.01.2022 It's the last day to register. Those that know me already know my answer, however, for those who keep looking daily I'll make it official. I am no longer running this coming election.... I haven't posted for a while and this has been due to a range of reasons. Writing has been a form of meditation to me for a long time and although I didn't stop writing I did stop posting quite so much since May of this year. The reason I was going to run, my motivation, was to remove an elected member whom has a proven course of doing major damage to the justice industry, the education industry and more recently fixing the f-ups of a failed tourism minister. I ran the numbers, I paid for polling and If I ran due to an overwhelming conservative vote, I helped her get elected. Worse, based on the polling data she would only need to gain 32% of the primary vote and she would be elected with CLP placing in one of the weakest candidates I have ever seen and TAP going through 3 candidates in less than 6 months. I polled originally at 12% last year to a maximum of 16% with only a few calls and no major door knocking. A long way from a win. I raised 48.7k in donations only to return them after COVID shutdowns as most came from small businesses and as the cap is now 40k for candidates I could foresee legal issues raised. Based on current polling with the addition of a few minor candidates running in the seat, the incumbent will lose by about 2%. The result I was seeking. If you are going to run, you need to have a reason. I wished to serve, however, I can and do serve the community in many ways. I may run at a future election if I feel motivated. I have been approached by several parties to consider it and will remain independent. I will only run of I can have an influence, my posts and rhetoric did move an entire party, I have been advised, this election, and I am proud of that. My main message will remain the same. Education, accountability and security. We need to ask the following questions Why? What is the hard evidence? What will it cost? If it fails, what are you willing to do to fix it? If you can answer these questions then you will have my vote, honestly from those I've met, no one deserves my vote at all, and probably doesn't deserve yours either. For those who have asked if I shall start writing again. YES. Although I warn you I may not say what you want. I'm also dabbling in some video so appreciate the feedback. Cheers see you soon. And to the antisamites, you haven't won, I just achieved my result, which was the entire point in the first place.

12.01.2022 "Aren’t boys and girls or people of every colour allowed to make different decisions on how they choose to spend their time and live their lives?" Not according to the MOB!

11.01.2022 And yet they who do "no harm" keep doubling down on something they know little about.

08.01.2022 When you have travelled and seen scenes of poverty and hardship in third world countries, either in person or on displays, have you ever wondered why we have it so good here in Australia? Have you ever read a history book or better yet gone to an RSL club and spoken to old soldiers about the horrid oppression and the suffering they have seen in despotic countries around the world. Have you ever wondered why Australia was spared this shared fate? Have the scenes of Government ...Continue reading

07.01.2022 Self-determination takes discipline and a burning desire to love that person with all their flaws, in the mirror.

03.01.2022 G'day, it been a moment and yes I've stopped sharing and posting on this page for a while. Now first, yes I am still writing, just finished a 45 pg booklet on NT legislation and laws for a security course. I'm still using writing as a way to deal. I've also been spending more time on my health. I've been doing 50km almost every week and some.weight training. I'm getting fit. No, I'm not running in an upcoming council elections. I've been asked to run, however, at this time i...n my life, I do not have the time or motivation to add an extra 10hrs of reading and work to my life every week. My real estate business is plodding along, I manage properties and have a few sales, I'm doing about an average of 50plus hrs of security a week, because the industry is extremely understaffed since Covid camps took 100 plus people out of the industry and the NTG have employed mamy of our guards as health assistance. I have been helping training facilities and been doing an additional 5 to 10 hrs a week in consult work... and I'm trying to get sleep in there as well. I've spoken at several freedom rallies, with great response, (thank you) and unfortunately had to miss the largest one recently as the Darwin show was a prior commitment. I will start posting more, well adding some of my thoughts I've worked through over the last 12 months. Sometimes we require a time to reevaluate our passions and thoughts. I lost over 2 dozen friends to suicide in the last 12 months. I've dealt with a lot of previous trauma, recently this has been the hardest. When I teach security, I always tell them that you dont have to be the best, you dont have to always be prepared, the most important requirement you have is to be "there". Its hard for me to admit, friends and loved ones took their own lives and "maybe" I couldnt have stopped them? I wasn't given the opportunity. However, what hurts me the most is that I wasn't "there" for them. Now I know I can't be everywhere, I've had friends and readers ask me to re-engage because they liked what I wrote, it made sense to them, (if a little too long sometimes). I will be back, at the moment I am working, part if that work is also going through the stages of grief. I'll share my thoughts and realizations on that in the future. I'm alive. I do appreciate you, I do think about the people who liked my page and who contact me asking me to add more. You have no idea how much it means to me, that support. I did some videos last year and was disappointed, that however will be the new medium I will be using. Thanks for reading, love and bless. If you need me you can always send me a message, I'll be there.

02.01.2022 The government was created to stop people taking from us, be it through violence, or larceny. It was given form for a reason, however, a government large enough to give us all we need is large enough to take it all away. This is why Governments should not be given discretionary powers. Historically there are thousands of years of evidence that is bound to be abused sooner or later. Better not to give them the tool in which they can do more harm than good.
