Is government interest to do right or wrong?!?
We all know the official propaganda and it sinks in because it is in our best interest that government is the guardian of good and fights against evil. But is it so?
Do not expect me to bring all the cases pro and against the government(s) and weigh them and show you the result.
We all know some good and bad examples but where is the balance? Let me explore a few aspects of the government.
Sure I do base most of my views on the Mike Rann’s government of South Australia, but not much different is federal government of Kevin Rudd nor other governments.
Most of us have heard voices that government is corrupt and nothing happened. I thing most of us have no doubt that what officials can do we cannot or else…
The main issue now is weather the government have any intertest to do good or have interest to do bad?
Why government would want to do good?
When the leader like mentioned premier decided for personal reasons to do good. Who would support him? Many church man and women, many poor people, and others who do not really give him power nor money.
So the motives to do good are not so strong, say just moral motives.
Would anybody want the leader to do wrong? Just think for a while, who possible wanted political leader to do wrong. Well wrong but appearing good.
In order to explore this let me bring a true story of an elderly lady who have asked me to help her in her health because she is dissapointed in doctors. When I gave her an example that she should not eat the common white rice which is commonsly sold in shops, she thought that I am crazy. How can you say that white rice is unhealthy when government is controlling all aspects of health and want us to be healthy? she said.
Take two cases, one to grow and sell organic brow rice, and the other so called conventional polished rice.
In case of brown rice, the farmer gets some rewards for his work, the transport man and salesman and nobody else.
In so called conventional way, the farmer gets some rewards, polishing man some, transport man and sales man, and people eating it become depleted of vitamins and nutrients taken with polishings, and then doctor earns lots of money, hospitals, the pharmacist for selling the vitamin B derived from rice polishings, and whole chain of specialists. It is big business. Not mention the health commisions and other…. (I leave space for you to fill in).
I also explained that lady how it was discovered that white rice was causing very serious illness on mass scale. (easy to find on internet).
Imagine yourself as doctor. Would you like that suddenly most of your clients become well and you lost good earning?
I do not try to prove, I only share with you my experience. If I tried to prove, regardless of the evidence I presented, the opposition is more wealthy and powerful, so I would lost miserably regardless of evidence.
So in health department, the most important thing is not to kill, not to heal but to maintain the illness. Logically it makes sense in order to maintain business, you have to maintain clients, not to fix them.
I do not go if it is possible to heal illness using pharmaceuticals or natural remedies. It is for this purpose irrelevant, the very motivation is relevant. Whole lucrative industries would collapse if people were healed.
Surely there are some dedicated doctors who want genuinely help their clients. One such doctor have saved my daughter’s life and did in best possible way. But we are analysing the system at present.
Are judges interested in solving social problems or in maintaining them? To help you to sort this out, just think what would happen if a missionary would convert all people into angels? would judges go to on social security dole?
Are police officers interested in solving road and social problems? Perhaps some officers are as much as they can but the system is not interested at all. Police in South Australia as I experienced it number of times, gives fines not for dangerous driving but to raise revenue. Their interpretation of rules is always to earn more money and never to improve safety.
More about police corruption here I should write a separate message.
So the story goes. It seems that on all levels of government, business unfortunately is on the side of wrong doing and no business on side of doing right.
Somehow business and media support wrong doing of the government.
And it is all possible because we citizens have absolutely nothing to say to our humble”public servants”. In case you do not know what I am talking about, the government declare to be the public servants, therefore whatever we say, they never do. They as servants dictate how much money we have to pay them, and we have nothing to say how they wasted them, sorry, how they spent them.
Someone may say that I am wrong. It is interesting why Premier Mike Rann refuses to establish an independant anti-corruption commission?
When bringing the issue of accountability to the “public servants” they refer to the election issue.
If this was a good mechanism to control the government we would not have our problems.
There is however simple solution to this. To establish an independant public registry or database where independent operators receive all calls from public which are not urgent and allocate the tasks to relevant government office to deal with and register all in database. When office fixe the problem, notify the call centre to mark as done and for public to inspect.
This way we public would have something to say, we would have a proper record of what is going on and we would have final say if the job done is acceptable or not.
At present the government does all the roles. This is conflict of interests as described earlier. It must be left to the public to assess the servants and not other way round as we have at present.
Honestly, answer to yourself. Does “public servant” control you, or you control the “servant”?
