Now you know that Merewenne does not like giving her opinion too much on the workings of political Australia,
or the Australian-US relations, but this morsel was too tasty to pass up. Certainly I offer you food for thought,
and not so much canvassing my political views ...
Ahh, Big Brother and Mini Me. Affectionately known as the USA and Australia.
It's scary to think that most international decisions are made by politicians in Big Brother land who do not
hold passports or travelled beyond their borders. It is scary to think that people have this weird insular view
that the world should follow American imperialism makes policies to that extent. Certainly we all know that truth
can sometimes be contentious and relying on the truth of USA's media can do funny things to your brain. So what
happens when unworldly people make decisions for the good of the rest of man?
CHAOS!
Unlike the Chaos Theory, there is no mathematical way of finding order and peace in the world from random bits of
data. Big Brother sneezing will not cause the world to jump in surprise .. far from it… The only taker here is Mini Me.
At least Motherland England had the decorum to send out explorers to find out what the other lands were like
before killing the locals ...
Big Brother should let Mini Me venture on his own sometimes
Firstly, comments made by top diplomats in Big Brotherland should be kept within their grey matter or the five
walls of the Pentagon. The first thing in showing respect and independence is to let Mini Me's political games
stay in Mini Me land. Threatening the opposition leader (yes, I know he does look creepy) of dire consequences of
harming relations between our two countries because he wanted to withdraw our Australian troops from Iraq is a bit
much ...
1. We never wanted to send our men and women there. Don't be under the false misconception that we voted
Mr Sheen as our prime minister gave him the right to make the decision to send our troops to Iraq, which the
general public did not support.
2. We have done what we have sought to do, so let's bring our men and women home. You Americans sort out your own crap.
If you had got it right in the Gulf War, Bushie would not have been inclined to send troops in to fix Daddy's mistake.
3. No wonder Big Brother couldn't find any weapons of mass destruction. If Bush had not been searching for
"nu-ku-lerr weapons in Ai-rack" who knows what they would have found.
What's in it for Mini Me? I'd say it had to do a lot with the International Trade agreement he signed right
about the time we sent our troops to Iraq. I think Mini Me should wake up to the fact that Big Brother will
be the aggressor and if things do not go his way, then Mini Me will be thrown out in the cold without the security
of a hot warm broth on a night where there is raging blizzard. Wake up Mini Me, why has it taken 2.5 years for
Big Brother to unlawfully hold David Hicks and Mandouh Habib in Guantanamo Bay and not charge them for any crimes
until recently? Where was his right as a decent human being to be innocent until proven guilty? If Big Brother
really respected Mini Me, he should release them back to us and let them have their trials in Australia.
Big Brother should not be so hasty as to cast the first stone when he is himself employing guerrilla tactics ...
Commenting on Australian politics close to our election time would not be inadvertently giving free publicity to the
Mr Sheen campaign, would it? Very inappropriate; very inappropriate indeed.
I think that the Australian Labour Party are doing a great job stuffing things up by themselves with the Peanut
Garrett episode, that they don't need any help.
It's all about the bottom line
Honestly, if it wasn't for the oil, do you think Big Brother would care about sending troops out of their
hallowed soils in the first place? It's all about the money and the trade.
1. Big Brother bombs Iraq, Big Brother should pay for Iraq. It was his idea to go there anyway.
2. Why is Mini Me contributing to the Iraq slush fund? Why would Big Brother make available its resources to Mini
Me for free, and make Mini Me pay for it?
3. Why is Big Brother still in there? It has been over a year - he failed to find anything; he failed to install a
decent replacement government; and has still not made any moves to leave the country now that his work is "done"
and I use that term loosely.
It's all because of the Oil, the Texas Tea ...
Big Brother likes to pretend he is humanitarian
Firstly, while we should remain in harmony and peace, there is also a view (my view) that Big Brother should mind
his own business. Just because I live in the same streets as my neighbours does not give me the right to tell my
neighbours how to live just because they don't conform with my idea of what day-to-day activities should entail.
Big Brother should mind his own business and accept the diversity of the world in which we live.
Let it be clear I am not suggesting that September 11 should have happened to America or they in any way deserved it. No country and its citizens
deserved such acts of senseless barbarianism.. Don't even THINK about misquoting me!
Where was Big Brother when we had problems with Indonesia and PNG? They certainly never bothered lifting a finger
to send their troops there. Why? Because PNG had nothing to offer them by way of cash. If there is nothing in it
for them, then they won't help. (HINT: There's no oil or money)
Talk about the Humanitarian of the Year Award.
Hands up to anyone who saw Big Brother jumping in to help the poor citizens of Zimbabwe or South Africa when they
were in need. (HINT: There's no oil or money)
Where was Big Brother when the cry of freedom was wailed the minute before a trigger was pulled? (HINT: There's no oil or money)
Where was Big Brother with his military aid in Zimbabwe where humanitarian crimes were perpetrated every day? (HINT: There's no oil or money)
... and I ask you, did Big Brother gave two hoots that Mini Me land could suffer the adverse effects
of nuclear testing in the South Pacific in the mid 1990s? (HINT: There's no oil or money)
Big Brother forgets that Mini Me's neighbours are Asians and Muslims. They are a very diversified and cultured race,
certainly older than Big Brother's middle finger and he should learn his place and shut up. I am willing to bet that
Big Brother will not be sending troops to Australia in a hurry if we got invaded. Big Brother certainly didn't come
across as willing to despatch aid for our own September 12 (Bali Bombings, for those of you who don't know). "We offer condolences,
we know how you feel" .. Well if it wasn't for Australia being a Mini Me, we would not even HAVE ourselves in
danger, now WOULD WE??? (Take note, Mr Sheen)

Still at it
The never-ending quest to turn the world into Big Brotherland has proven to be somewhat of an obsession with
Big Brother.
If not for Big Brother, we would never have gotten such wonderful geography classifications such as "first,
second and third world countries" only to be changed later to "developed and developing countries". I certainly
never thought that Africa was third world. Fine print says "third world compared to America". African people
are rich in culture, in tradition, in flora and fauna. Only Big Brother says they aren't worthy for equality status ...
If everyone was a good citizen and minded their own business, maybe we can take once more step towards acceptance
and tolerance, and maybe we can live together alongside each other.
