"Our democracy is broken" - Cheadle candidate
John Allman - 16.07.2005 16:59

The Alliance ü For Change

98 High Street, Knaresborough, N Yorks. HG5 0HN

PRESS RELEASE - 14 JULY 2005


CHEADLE BY-ELECTION DECLARATION SPEECH





Text of the speech to be delivered at the Cheadle by-election count and declaration by Alliance For Change candidate John Allman


The Slavery.org.uk, ExodusNow.com and BanMindWeapons.com websites publish (all three of them) some of the lengthy correspondence with the government's Intelligence and Security Liaison Unit that substantiates the claim that the present British government has refused to abandon, or even to discuss electromagnetic weapons. These weapons are being used nowadays in the UK to torture, remotely and deniably, innocent British civilians, who don't need to be detained to be tortured. Sadly, this is part of a global pattern of hi-tech human rights abuses.


Secondly, nobody has yet addressed adequately the question "What went wrong, with the result that the Iraq war was started, when there were no weapons of mass destruction?" MPs who claim to have been misled at the time insist defensively that it therefore wasn't their fault. Thus misled again, they say, they would vote for war again. We therefore cannot yet rest assured that it can never happen again. Until we fix this problem, it is more or less bound to happen again, sooner or later, perhaps sooner than we think. And there are an awful lot of of countries left in this world whose children we haven't bombed in their homes - yet.


These observations provide just two amongst a multitude of reasons for concluding that our democracy is broken.


For this sorry state of affairs, I blame, in part, the electorate's addiction, to a "Lib Lab Con Trick" that is well past its "best before date".


I also blame confused voters, who choose as their MPs big party loyalists who are seeking career-path promotion, from the local council to the Commons. These include candidates who court popularity, by speaking out about so-called "local" issues that MPs simply don't deal with, because they are matters for the local council, the police authority and the chief constable, the Department of Transport, the Department of Health, or whatever.


Despite noble exceptions, some blame must also attach to a generation of rather timid journalists within the broadcasing media, who campaign, relentlessly, for the thoroughly broken Lib Lab Con Trick three-party system. They follow, slavishly, "guidelines" sanctioned by their media magnate employers - or their cowed governors, in the case of the BBC.


They follow guidelines that seem almost to be calculated to starve any challengers to the status quo of the oxygen of publicity. They follow guidelines that drive a coach and horses through several different articles of the Declaration on Criteria for Free and Fair Elections, published by the Inter-Parliamentary Union, of which the UK is supposedly a member.


However resonant some of their policies or rhetoric may seem, speaking pragmatically, a new, traditional political party, founded by a vain celebrity, obsessed with a single issue, or guided by an outdated ideology, such as Veritas, UKIP, or Respect, cannot set us, the British people, free.


We must therefore set ourselves free, with God's help. An alternative method for us to break the power of the parties is set out at AllianceForChange.co.uk.


We must set ourselves free from a system which has allowed the abhorrent electromagnetic weapons industry to flourish unchecked.


Free from a system which gets away with doing evil for which few would ever vote knowlingly, because official secrecy hides the human rights abuses that have been the unpublicised policies of the governments which the Lib Lab Con Trick habitually generates. Governments which the whole world needs British voters to "make history".


I pray God that the British people will become sick and tired of being sick and tired soon. I do not want to spend my whole life distressed at the suffering of the victims of the way British people keep voting.
