Take that look off your face

When I did a pic of mouths of two very argumentative men (politicians, no name from me), I looked for a quote which I could use. This one sounded good – until I found out who had said it. Roland Freisler. A prominent Nazi lawyer and judge, according to Wikipaedia. I wasn’t going to use it, but it sounded so much like something these two politicians would say to…. well, anyone. 

Freisler was employed by Hilter back in WWII, and “was State Secretary of the Reich Ministry of Justice and President of the People's Court (Volksgerichtshof), which was set up outside constitutional authority. This court handled cases of political actions against Adolf Hitler's National-Socialist regime by conducting a series of infamous trials.” Also according to Wikipaedia. 

I couldn’t read any more history about this man because WWII and the Holocaust which started in Germany made me pretty sick. I have never been able to understand why Hilter’s group could do anything like this to people who lived ordinarily. 

Except in the latest news, either in a newspaper or magazine or online, talk comes about the latest wars which happen all over this planet. Australia is where people attempted to come to get away from the destruction in their own country. In Syria, for instance, ISIS had pretty much blown up every home in at least one of the Syrian cities, as well as almost all of the ancient sites. In Afghanistan, many villagers had to leave or they would have been slaughtered. Many, in fact, were. And soldiers were killed. 

Between 2000 and 2014 there have been wars in Algeria, Tunisia, DR Congo, Burundi, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Mexico, Russia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, Chad, Syria, Libya, India, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Mali, Israel/Palestine and South Sudan. Since 2000 there have been more than 3,500,000 deaths in all of these countries.Why?

Why do men arrange a war, for whatever reason? Do they ever involve women to start a war? (I know that in Syria there are some Kurdish women who have decided to fight – good on them, they’re fighting at home!) Where do they get their cash for weapons? Where do they buy weapons from? Who will fight for them and who will fight against? Why are soldiers getting killed far, far too often? 

And the people who tried to come here are still on Nauru or Manus, still in detention (3 years since LNP was voted in here), and still fought over by politicians in LNP. 

Or ignored. They can’t ever get any decent response. 

Australia’s Save the Children worked at Nauru – until they were kicked off. Why?

Baby Asha came into Australia for medical treatment for her body burns. LNP wants to send her back. Why? 
Abbott, the previous PM of LNP, was sendingsoldiers to Iraq – and he told us with 8 Aussie flags behind him. Why?

Too many soldiers have returned to Australia from the war they fought, and suffer from PTSD. Are they treated? Properly? 
Why has LNP against ANZAC – and Ko Rutene, who was an NZ soldier in Afghanistan and came over here, no crime, yet he’s been chucked in a severe jail in Casuarina in WA. He’s tried to fight it. He’s not guilty to anything! 

One of the politicians in the pic at the top of this page has too many idiotic laws or policies that he is allowing to run this country. Too many refuges held, for too many years. Too many Kiwis – amongst others – who have lived here for years but are being deported. Back to NZ, if they’re Kiwi. Why? Why?? 

Have a good look at the pic. Who do you think they are? Two men whose bottom lips are dropping. One of them is here. Take that look off your face, Mr Pollie. This country does not like you.
