Although it is patently obvious to the intelligent plebs such as us and the many of you who have the same concerns as your brother and sister Australians, SOS feels the need to qualify our actions.
SOS-NEWS has received a message from a very irate person of the radical green ilk emphatically stating that we are nothing but a red-necked anti-green internet spreadsheet.
Therefore we put the following out as the mission statement for Save Our Snowy and SOS-NEWS.
SOS-NEWS came about in the first instance because numerous people kept regaling stories of mismanagement and ineptitude from our bureaucracy. As I [The Editor] have had a lifetime of many adventures, brought up in the country, served this Nation proudly and hold many years of investigative experience and am proficient in I.T. and hold a heart full of patriotism for my Country, I came to realise that these people were asking for my help.
The stories of despair related not so much to the problems that people in the Alps were suffering, but to the causes that brought the problems about, the people that were in control, the political indifference to alpine voices in contrast to the hearing and consideration politicians were giving to self serving green groups, the total and blatant disregard of 200 years of hands on experience for feel good untested science. In all, it was the battles that the Alpine people confronted.
It was obvious that the most important apparent concern was the lack of constructive media attention, the agenda driven reporting, and the political spin given to serious issues. The Alpine people and land holders across this nation are ignored. The politics of this Nation have ceased to work for the people of Australia as a collective, but rather play to noisy agenda driven groups and/or provide a platform for individual politicians and parties to strut themselves on the international stage. All this at the expense of the very fabric of our great Country.
The little people do not get heard any more. Individual's lives are of no concern to politicians. Vote gathering is the paramount driving force in all politicians eyes no matter what party they emanate from and it is this culture that has grown out of control with the help of the Corporate driven media that needs checking. Politicians across the board have failed to respect that their obligation to work for the Country with total disregard for their political position, other than to do what is right for Australia, or their State, is not optional. Until they display these qualities, respect for them will not be forthcoming. City folk are treated daily to the politician's only acting on problems that are their positional obligations after the media, radio personalities publicly berate them. Not only is this a disgusting state of political affairs, but has a demoralising action on all the others in the same quandary, but will never be heard or attended to.
Politically biased, maybe, but as we have had a labour government in NSW for so long now that all present day legislation can only be attributed to this Labour Government and Victoria, well that is just a basket case in its own right. It is only by such political history that our actions appear biased, it is definitely not intentional and many preceding governments have issues to answer for. We can't go back and change what they did, but we can certainly stay here and change what they caused and we can move forward and rectify where they went wrong, but not in the present climate.
Anti Green? Definitely not. Anti_radical-green? Absolutely.
Anti main stream media? No. Anti Editorial control over the content many fine journalists suffer daily? Absolutely
Anti Science? Absolutely not. Anti science as the be all to end all? Absolutely.
Pro proven historical hands on experience without quasi scientific substantiation? Absolutely.
Pro giving every Australian the right to be heard publicly without having to have any kind of doctorate before or after their name? Unequivocally.
Anti denigration of a person's views because of a lack of academic achievement? Unequivocally.
Concerned about the dictatorial control in ever increasing daily terms on all facets of our individual rights to enjoy our Australian way of life? Beyond expression.
SOS-NEWS understands that for every action there is an opposite reaction, but the need for balance has been lost and the scales are destroying that which made Australia great. The rot for this Country started with the control of the Alps of South Eastern Australia and then using this inroad as a foot hold, spread far and wide across this nation under the guise of an environmental movement that has got this Country by the balls and is bleeding the heart of this Country dry.
We do not intend to succumb to the weapon against suffrage that is destroying our culture, "Political Correctness."
We do not intend to get into scientific debate on issues that always have two sides and the semantic play achieves nothing, but indecision.
We do not subscribe to the view that Australia has to follow world trends that do nothing but hurt the Australian populous, especially when these trends are driven by the same agendas of greed, power and insensitivity that are driving their cousins here.
We do not intend to allow politicians to rule as opposed to serving without a fight.
We DO believe that green is good and there are many green people in this Country with a number of fine groups representing the balance of green in conjunction with a balance of the need to live and thrive, including 95% of all landholders.
We do believe that our Australian Alps are there for the people of today and tomorrow, but to deny the use of them to recreation such as 4X4, Horse riding,
Camping, Motorbikes, Controlled Hunting, Free Commercial Photography is no longer Australia. Open slather to anything attracts abuse, but the NPWS through education
and control could have all these things happening in a symbiotic relationship with the Environment that would only enhance our population's lives.
Our wallets are full of licenses that are just a revenue raising tactics, a control, or in conspiracy terms, big brother data gathering. If you want to carry on an
activity on public lands, the only prerequisite need be a course in such activities that educates the public on its responsibilities of the environment and the
activities effects. There is no such thing as Wilderness in our Alps. Man has been interacting with these mountains in the form of one culture or another since time immemorial.
Of course small tracts of terrain have to be set aside for special purposes, but the majority of our wildlife have happily accepted a close relationship
with man and with the past 2003 disaster this has become more so than ever. Emotional tactics by green movements to wrest control of our bush from human
interaction has proved, is still proving and will continue to prove to be a disaster of proportions that has stolen and is stealing generations of care by those
that don't have the required doctorate.
When SOS-NEWS was first started it gave a voice to a few. I never in my wildest dreams expected it to gather the momentum that it has and the consistent daily increase in subscription is over awing to say the least. The response from subscribers is overwhelming and for every negative message received there 300+ positive ones.
Our Mission is to let readers see it as it is, from real Australian people who are forced to live it and to hear it in un-politically correct, but real, terms, the situation surrounding our beloved Alps and all the woes that have befallen them. To make accountable the Politicians, Bureaucrats, Radical greens that through either ineptitude, or Agenda, or Corporate greed, or all of the above have failed to place their loyalty to the Australian peoples needs first.
Our Rural families are a minority brought about by the unfettered globalisational policies of the current and preceding governments that have failed them and us dramatically and as such are entitled to be heard. If the only way that, that is possible is through SOS and we are able to at least make the reader think a little more laterally than the diatribe of agenda driven views that has been the indoctrination process of successive governments with the media's help over the years, then I will be happy.
If when people put there mark on their vote they have considered such sides of the issues as we have put them, I will be happy.
If Politicians have to consider this site as controversial, I will be happy.
If we incite others to start their own un-politically correct sites and tell it as it is, I will be happy.
If we at least give a little heart to some very despondent, loyal hard working Australians that feel they are being down trodden and destroyed without just cause, I will be very happy indeed.
But most important of all, if we break the strangle hold of radical green groups and politicians, giving real people with a desire for sound environmental practices the opportunity to associate both themselves and their donations, with Green Groups that that sincerely offer genuine balanced research, views and dialogue with intentions to see that their values symbiotically, along with their environmental concerns enhance our alpine and rural families lives and livelihoods, then I will be overjoyed.
SOS-NEWS and Save Our Snowy make no apology for being in your face and if we are there, may we suggest you look hard in the mirror and reflect on your actions.
