Huge rally in London

Saturday there was a huge rally in London protesting Cameron's Cuts. Organizers stopped counting at 250,000 participants. There are two points I will make. The rally was hugely successful. It was a peaceful public protest that included families and children. There was a reason for the rally. There was a significant purpose that many people took to the street to voice their opinion which I will expand upon. Pensioners and families with children protesting cuts to pensions and education to start.

The other point is the fact that a small break off group of anarchists and who knows who else, seized the opportunity to vandalize and clash with police later in the day and later in the evening at Trafalgar square. The initial peaceful rally that had massive attendance was at Hyde Park with a march to parliament. It was the largest demonstration in England in decades. That means the public has real concerns about the direction the government has pledged to go in. In a democratic society, the government listens to the will of the voters. Dictatorships don't.

I will emphasize that the spin off violence is suspect. Police participated in the rally protesting cuts to policing. Why would the police clash with the police. Sure there are some yahoos that feed off the adrenaline and love to vandalize and loot for any reason. Yet there is without question another very real possibility. There is no doubt that the political extremists who want to privatize everything under the sun and completely remove all public accountability whatsoever would hire people to vandalize things and create violence in the attempt to destroy the credibility of the real protest and distract the world from the real issues that are on the table.

MI 6 were caught doing it in Iraq. Twice. I personally have no doubt in my mind whatsoever, that it is well within the MI 6 mentality to hire masked thugs to create violence to take away from the very serious issues that are on the table. They also did it with the help of the Americans in Iran under the guise of Operation Ajax. That I might add was for oil.

So, setting the spin off violence aside, be it childish brats or paid thugs, let us look clearly at the real issues that have given rise to England’s largest public protest in decades.

Cuts to Pensions

Cuts to pensions is one thing. Deregulating pensions and removing public accountability is another. All too often we have seen many pensions go down the toilet as soon as they are deregulated and the public accountability has been removed. Large corporations covet the ability to utilize pension money and gamble it away in the chance of getting a larger return. Large corporations should not be allowed to get their greedy little mitts on public pensions. The motivation for the deregulation of pensions and removing public accountability has nothing to do with reducing the deficit. It is just plain bad business.

National Debt and The Almighty Corporation

Now this brings us the the most obvious point. Cameron claims he wants to reduce the deficit in four years making all these trade cuts and more frighteningly the complete removal of public accountability from everything and handing all power and control of every conceivable social program into the hands of the greed driven almighty corporation.

Some corporations profit from war. Some corporations profit from oil. The oil companies have been responsible for many wars. Taking tax dollars away from pensions, schools and hospitals to fund the war for oil is just plain wrong.

Let me emphasise that the goals of eliminating the debt is not a bad thing. Pimping that goal to steal tax dollars to fund oil wars and corporate greed is morally wrong. Of course we need a military. The unlawful invasion of Iraq cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. That invasion was based on a lie - Weapons of Mass Destruction. MI 6 were caught red handed giving false information to the media about Iraq's WMD under Operation Mass Appeal to justify the invasion of the oil rich nation.

John Reese from Stop the War Coalition is right. "I think a very big part of the problem that the British government has with it's deficit is it's continual addition to war. If we were to scrap the Trident Nuclear Weapons renewal, if we were to stop the wars in Afghanistan and the attack in Libya we would have a very large portion of the British government's deficit dealt with in a single blow. He has a good point. Yes we need a national defense but we don't need to spend huge amounts of tax dollars on military equipment to invade countries for their oil in a time of peace.

Education

Removing public accountability from the school system is unwise. "Liberating" all of the schools from state control is the most absurd sip of poison kool aid I have ever heard. Cameron is using the reduce the deficit lie to hand over public accountability to the almighty corporation to do with it what that greed driven machine wants.

Public Accountability

Canadian fugitive Moya Greene was hired to destroy the Royal Mail with her bizarre mandate. If you privatize a public corporation, the ceo all of a sudden stands to make a much larger salary than the ceos in public crown corporation. Moya Greene's mandate is to remove public accountability because she claims the private sector thinks the public is stupid. Where have we heard that before?

Save the Dream, Stop Moya Greene.
