David Cameron: Change for the better?

So here we are. A new government is now in power but we still have to live with the same world that existed prior to the change over, although given the way the press has been buzzing you could be forgiven for thinking that things had changed. It's actually quite interesting in that whilst noise is being made about the economy and the need to make so many cut backs – thus giving the impression something is being done – the war in Afghanistan continues and even the new government, it seems, is not completely adverse to the odd political scandal.

For example, there was a story in todays news that Liam Fox, the Defence Secretary and member for Woodspring has hired a former US Army captain with links to US Intelligence as his special advisor. Now leaving aside the fact that this position could just as easily been filled by a former British Army officer, questions need to be asked as to what government is doing hiring people with links to a foreign powers' intelligence services. Especially given the British publics anger at playing of poodle to US Foreign policy.

For starters, I wouldn't mind knowing how this is a useful appointment given the approaching Strategic Defence Review and the potential for Top Secret information to find it's way into the hands of US Intelligence. And I also wouldn't mind being enlightened as to how a former US Army Captain expects to be able to advise UK Government as to methods of best practice in tasks being carried out by UK Forces. Particularly given the difference in the way operations are conducted.

But there you go. I'm not expecting any answers at any point during this term of government, leaving me to a conclusion that I had come to beforehand anyway. That is to say that we're being screwed.

It's all quite simple really. The people get angry, so the establishment offer up an alternative under the slogan “vote for change”. Only they don't make it completely clear just what that change is going to be. Ok, so Gordon Brown is gone. But we now have a government who whilst talking it up on the economy, have held back on Afghanistan and the worsening security situation, choosing instead to ignore the issue whilst creaming in money from people with all to convenient connections to the arms trade. A scenario every man and his dog has been aware off for years now, but one that has only just been confirmed with the Conservative Party stating that the donations were within the rules.

It is widely believed that we're living in what could be called the last days of peace. That is to say, the last days before we get the promised change. Only in the form of more wars, peak oil and unavoidable global economic meltdown; despite the present governments claimed attempts at economic damage limitation. But what are we to expect when we live in a world where apathy reigns and the mass media informs.

Every free thinking man and his dog knows that it is the media who controls public opinion. Leaving the people with no other option than the usual bought and paid for politicians. The kind of people who are photographed on a yaght with Rupert Murdoch, Or entering a well publicised party at which Rupert Murdoch is guest of honour. All very conveniently just before a government changing election.

I've often thought that when the people are demanding the chains that will be offered up as a solution, you will know that the final motions of the New World Order master plan is nearing completion. The only question is, can the intellectually and socially unconscious majority be woken from their slumber in time to stop it?
