Australia for sale
Australia for sale and that has everyone worried.Well the ones that actually pay attention to the real issues and how it will affect their future, clearly a small number when compared to the number of Hollywood distraction followers.
It must be one of those classical moments that famous investors live for''cheap, undervalued, trading at a discount, a real cracker'' and sell that idea many years later.So nothing new there.
But when compared to its minuscule yet powerful neighbour that boasts only a quarter of the population and a lot less in many other areas, and despite its overwhelming landmass and its vast untapped natural resources, Australia seems unable to manage itself properly or it appears so to be the case.
When politicians are worried about ''strategic'' reasons not to sell a business,and with resource companies 70% already foreign owned, airlines also trying to cash in on the act because of their ????? lack of business acumen hellbent to outsource its business there too, one can only beg to ask the question using the proverbial expression
''Can Australia actually manage a p***up in a brewery'', let alone manage itself and its vast resources appropriately?
Just what has Australia actually managed to push it self into.
Where does Australia envisage itself in 20 years time?
What kind of lifestyle would its citizens be able to afford?
Imagine if only the Singaporeans, (which personally would prefer to run Aus)owned such a resourceful country in many aspects and what they would have created out of it.Can one imagine?
Two different mantras at work I suppose, the former not having an attitude-top to bottom-of the latter obviously.
Some serious head scratching has to occur or becoming victims of globalisation is not a prophecy, more like a reality.
Any thoughts fellow professionals?

The undebated, introduced by stealth, globalisation program is running out of steam. The countries which can re-nationalise the quickest and can stay out of the wars will be the best off. If you have a good contract with a major airline - sit tight and don't screw up. If not then seek a government job.

Prophetic words LT Selfridge.
To get a handle on the globalisation agenda, and who's behind it, I could not recommend highly enough " " by G Edward Griffin. At 585 pages, plus footnotes it meticulously documents the agenda of the banking cartel to control the world through a single world government. The aim is to eradicate the sovereign state.
From an amazon review
This book was first published in 1992, and he continuously updates it as new events occur.
Personally, this is the most important book I have ever read. If you want to have a hope of understanding the forces at work around you, this book is a must.

Griffin does believe in the conspiratorial view of history, and he believes that the bankers are working in concert with such groups as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission to bring about a socialist-world system in which an elite composed of intellectuals and bankers will rule over the entire planet. Griffin even spends a chapter outlining how this system could come about, and the consequent results of this socialist system. These chapters are a bit unsettling, but even if you aren't interested in this worldview, you can still learn much about the economy from this book. Recommended
