Blind Faith in Your Leaders Will Get You Killed - Again

Imagine there is a greater being, a God Head or aliens looking down on us. Ever since they built the Pyramids and pointed us towards enlightenment they have watched and waited for us to take the true path. Instead, we continue to descend into violence and destruction. The celestial television set has been turned off.

A simple rule of the make-up of a basic society is that each must contribute and take responsibility. Every sentient being must share the load. Our society has become fractured because of the actions of those who do not accept this model.

We must recognise the role of 'leaders' in the recent events in London. Community leaders, politicians and senior police officers. Community leaders and other such 'experts' have no democratic mandate. They claim to speak for a mythical 'community' which is usually based on the idea that skin colour or religion binds people  in shared experience. Such leaders claim oppression on behalf of their imagined constituents, seek academic support for complex theories of social deprivation to excuse behaviour which undermines shared society. The notion of personal responsiblity for actions is bypassed and excused by historical examples of racism. The notion of family is passed to the state. Base criminality and violence has become acceptable and expected. Any attempts to counter such activity on behalf of the genuine community, ie the people who actually live and work in the areas concerned, are spun as the actions of the enemy.

Community leaders and their associated experts require this situation to continue. They feed on controversy to justify their existence. Separatism and conflict is their life-blood. Any transgressions by their followers are offered justification and blame given to others.

Politicians are presented to us as a genuine choice. Middle class liberals are sent to deprived areas to 'represent' the people, and prolong the myth of democracy. The House of Commons represents nothing but itself. Political activists seek political capital from every tragedy, seeking to undermine the position of the other  rather than offering genuine ideas to promote social cohesion. Political groups once again thrive on difference and separation.

Senior police officers seek out opportunities to promote themselves and further their careers. They sacrifice their juniors and have long ago forgotten the principle of impartiality. Each seeks to see their competitors fail, and does nothing that will upset their superiors who hold the key to promotion. Senior officers fall under the spell of 'community leaders' for fear of being labelled racist and therefore having their career aspirations destroyed.

Society can only progress when the barriers are removed. Law needs to become simple and clearly understood. A line must be drawn for which the police have responsibility to maintain. This and nothing else. Any police officer of rank found to have acted otherwise will be dismissed. Attempts to politically influence the police must be treated in a similar fashion. Division and diversity must be ended - it is hard to hate those you know. A political centre ground is the only way, based on a shared vision and compromise not conflict. People must understand that to take part in society requires contribution and responsibility. It is the only way. London will continue to burn if those in a position of power continue to feed from the same trough.
