I am beginning to feel like the paranoid taxi driver character Mel Gibson played where he believed that conspiracies lurked around every corner, the only problem was that his fears proved to be correct.
The more I research the more I see evidences of a worldwide ‘trend’ surfacing like the flared head of a cobra responding to its masters 'voice'

"the progressives hijacked an entire spectrum of important social causes, from feminism and race relations through environmental and antiwar activism, each of which ... became subordinated to an agenda having very little to do with the actual cause at hand and everything to do with the underlying agenda of the radical reconstruction of our society."
For example; Gillard is on record articulating an agenda which aims to change the fundamental way of life in Australia and it appears to be the one promise she intends to keep. Change is happening faster than anyone could have imagined. What baffles me however is that the polls indicate the recapturing of a measure of popularity.
What is wrong with the Australian electorate? It beggars belief that the people of this country can actually even consider voting for such a ubiquitous liar, never mind one with such an obviously cancerous worldview. Are they so shallow as to be blinded by a sychophantic press into believing that the ruinous policies of the Gillard interregnum are not going to damage their quality of life, because even those who feed out of the public trough are going to feel the pinch economically in the years to come. Look and learn at how disastrous ideologically driven causes have been for the bankrupted nations of Europe. Greece is only the latest, consider Ireland, Greenland, Spain, Portugal and Italy as well. Capitalism may not be perfect but it has proved the lesser of many evils when it comes to economic policies.
Perhaps this lack of philosophical perspicacity shouldn’t be a huge surprise given the rate of decay in the once dominant worldview of Australia, i.e. the Judeo-Christian value system. I enjoy the dubious honour of being able to observe the development of teenage culture and its affect on its participants as a teacher, a parent and as an amateur observer of philosophical under-currents.
These recent generations have (by and large) lived free of political chaos and destructive ideologies and therefore have little understanding of the fragility of thought foundations. These are kids who have been afforded the time and financial stability necessary to indulge in an orgy of toxic popular culture. They have been ‘educated’ by a system whose architects are steeped in the currently favoured neo-Marxist, post-modern ideologies, and have been encouraged to view learning as fun or entertainment rather than hard work, a perspective which has radically undermined the fundamentals of a successful life, that is, a productive work ethic.
An enlightening exercise is to mention the word ‘capitalist’ to a teenager and gauge their reaction. Their lips curl, smoke emerges from their ears and their voices tremble as they heap abuse on the very notion of anybody making a substantial profit. You only have to follow the current 'Occupy anything' crowd to gauge the emerging youth culture of today. a culture of redistribution and entitlement that has little or nothing to do with having earned the money to buy the goodies...no sireee, they believe it somehow has become a 'human right' to free this and free that.
Their heads have been filled with useless (and frequently erroneous...even science is manipulated to serve political and personal ‘gods’) information and ever expanding trivia. We are living with what many progressives claim are the most ‘educated’ generation of all time, yet most do not know how to reason effectively and too few think very deeply about anything.
Much of the information they imbibe has its source in PoMo re-writes of history straight out of Orwellian fiction. Plus on the news cycle scene journalists are taught that it is now more honest to reflect ones bias openly rather than trying to attain the unattainable, i.e. objectivity, thus the 'news' becomes little more than entertaining trivia or opinion.
Students are fed fantasies about their allegedly ‘racist’ forefathers (triggering false guilt), apocalyptic fear mongering couched in pantheistic religious jargon, i.e. the despoiling of ‘Mother Gaia’ and is disseminated through mendacious 'documentaries'(????) such as those churned out by Al Gore and Michael Moore, both of whom have become filthy capitalists as a result of their egregious manipulations.
On every front; culture, education, political there is a white-anting of the Judeo-Christian value base and the replacement of that worldview with either the insipid Lennon/Ono brand of ‘Imagine’ commutarianism or the very toxic neo-Marxist ideologies being employed by the likes of Hugo Chavez and cronies:
As we have since seen, the Labor government has used the pretext of efficiency set out by the Howard government to draft its own national curriculum of a highly ideological nature. The ALP’s proposed national curriculum is egregiously biased with an over-emphasis on Asian and Aboriginal histories at the expense of teaching children about the history of Western civilisation. It implies that human rights come from modern NGOs such as the United Nations, rather than from the development of Christian philosophy during the Enlightenment. Indeed, one of the key drafters of the curriculum admits that its only mentions of Christianity are unfavourable. The concept of “sustainability” is embedded throughout the document, as are highly contestable ideas such as the problem posed by the “energy crisis” and dwindling natural resources. The document even admits that it sets out to “shape” the next generation of leaders, rather than just teach them.
These are the children who populate the current crop of inner city, latte sipping, socially indoctrinated ‘green’ acolytes who vote for ‘progressives’ because they have been sold a superficial touchy-feel-good message. These are what hardcore revolutionaries refer to as the ‘useful idiots’. The indoctrinated, corrupted, lazy, idealistic, ambitious and soft; the 'Kruddites' of the world and other similar ‘South Park’ denizens who are subtly manipulated into manoeuvring the ruthless and hidden oligarchs (the Morlocks) into positions of power and influence. These are the ‘elites’ who dream their Eloian dreams of living in a future Utopia, but like their cinematic doppelgangers, once they have served their purpose they will be gobbled up and consumed by the Morlocks.
And every un-Christian sentiment in my sinful heart (the titanium section) says; ‘serves em right’, but I wrestle my better side to the fore and pray that I will stand up to be counted as one who reaches out to all with the grace, love and compassion available through the power of the Holy Spirit.
