Disagree with you Larry.
You perhaps miss the universal point is that 'governments' only
consider that the 'purpose' of its citizens is to be a "prey species"
to increase their tax base. Doesnt matter is if its a 'democracy', or
a totalitarian regime ... its all the same worldwide.



Over on alt.binaries.multimedia.documentaries on your usenet server, you
may still find a recent posting of "America - Freedom to Fascism" by
Aaron Russo, a Hollywood film producer who made movies like "The Rose"
and "Trading Places". It's in two CD-sized avi files in DivX format.
Play it with VLC from www.videolan.org if you don't have a divx codec.

Russo does all the footwork and goes straight after the IRS, the Federal
Income Tax (which isn't legal and isn't a law), and finds disturbing
information about the world bankers who took over the government in 1913
with the passing of the Federal Reserve Act by a quickie little vote
during Christmas vacation on a voice vote. (The movie of it is in the
film.)

In the USA, the income tax, unlawfully paid by workers on their wages and
labor, goes straight to these international bankers who OWN the Federal
Reserve Corporation, which is about as "Federal" as Federal Express. The
government borrows money from the Fed, and income tax extracted from
wages by force, pays the interest.

Watch the movie. It's not some nutcase film. Russo goes straight to the
source.....

Governments across the planet, including Australia, have been similarly
infiltrated and have lost control to the bankers. I'm sure if someone
researched, as Russo does, this same issue in Australia, he'd find the
story basically the same.
