The future of NZ

Here you go kids, a sneak preview of Kyle Chapmans "book"(and we use the term as loosely as possible). I hope he has a decent editor!!! Hint: Word has a spell check function!

Possibilities
People can be predictable. History shows so many examples of how things can go a certain way if some situations come into play. It is possible to engineer a population through certain things. The Companies do it with advertising and the Government does it with their schemes and policies that are designed to keep people thinking everything is good. Even when polices that will help the people are slow forgotten.
There are many potential threats. I will deal with the natural disasters in a latter chapter. But for now I will say that all things that bring instability can bring the belief of being unsafe. The basic idea behind civilisation is the myth of order and stability. When the reality is anything controlled by people is week and can fall. Anything that has a few humans with their anger, their jealousy, there corruption and their lust for power will come to a breaking point as all these potential time bombs come to potential clashing points. It’s the illusion of the stability that holds the thin threads together. So it is clear that the main function for a terrorist org or an anti government group is to show the people they are not safe, they need to get them thinking about what they have and what they have to do to keep it. The worse things get the more they realise that the essentials of life are the most important things. Such as food water and shelter.
These are things that people take for granted in the western world, until it is taken away. When the power goes or a water main breaks, these are all key targets for a group trying to affect the hysteria they need for the chaotic stage of a revolution or the destruction of the society.
People want to feel safe, as they feel less safe, they are more likely to rebel themselves. Poverty can be countered by entertainment, give a poor man some alcohol and some drugs and a TV and he will feel better about his life, but take some of these away and he will feel more able to break out and challenge the system.
Ever person in our system helps it to run, the whole system requires everyone’s input, when there are people who don’t work or don’t put in their part the system starts to slow or to have problems, there are so many sick and old people the system can look after, but when the system plays with employment schemes etc to bring wages down and to make economies the way they need them to make more money, then they start to play the slippery game to chaos. As some men get greedier and create these systems, some other men wake up to the fact they have to act or eventually starve.
When the workers at a factory don’t show up for work, they will not get paid, the factory will loose is product and the boss will loose profit, so no one wins during these times of strikes such, when it goes to a step higher and the people of a country are feeling like they are loosing their freedom or their safety, then the whole thing can be far more dangerous for the state.
If a group created some confusion in a city for a few hours, there will be consequences for that. They will be managed and the system will repair the damage, the greater the damage the greater the repair, its all reaction on action. When there are three cities hit at the same time, the fear and panic sets in with the people, that to can be settled in some time and with some damage control by a government, but if control was lost multiple times and chaos was caused in many places at the same time or in close sequence, showing the lack of control the system really has, then the people will go into their family units and their own individual belief of survival. When this kick's in the whole country is in disorder, it can take decades to repair it. It will need outside intervention to bring some order back. Strength in numbers becomes the main course of law and order, which ever is the strongest wins, the whole beginnings of how civilisation starts again. The strong live and the week dies. The strong are often just the people who grouped together while the week are often strong as an individual person but on without support they are inevitably the looser against a greater number of people. These are the ways that revolution can spread and become a real entity in a Farley fast course. Western Nations rely on the system Myth to keep power, they loose the actual safety part it a little each time they cut back on spending and some one at the top gets a pay rise.
During the process of the breaking down of society, there are things that give signs, such as the rise of more types of politics, the more extreme politics, and the more extreme groups. Some extreme groups are always going to be here, but during breakdown, they grow and become more palatable to people.
Some groups such as Maori and Immigrant groups that may have or do feel dissected by the system. These groups are already intact and are able to grow rapidly. The Immigrant factions that have come from third world countries will have seen how bad it can get, and they also no how week the whole system really is. Many of them could be war veterans, or survivors of horrible disasters, each hardening them to the possibilities. Each situation makes them more likely to be ready to survive and protect what they love.
When the Government ignores its people, it risks the downfall of itself. By not dealing with basic needs and desires, it self terminates. When the general population sees their standard of life slowly declining, they get scared, each level that it goes down there are more people who are willing to do be more anti government and to challenge the system. At the start, this is the people making comments while watching the news about how things need to change radically, or all is lost, and then it will shift to pushing the boundaries of the law, and show antagonistic view points and being more willing to protest. They will show their dislike for the police and the government departments.
The system in the wets has a tool that has worked for centuries. Religion and spiritual morality. These things have kept people away from rebellion, but when the system itself challenges and threatens the traditions and the ethics of these fundamental foundations of the society, then more people become affected by the government lack of foresight and unwillingness to see what is good for the people. The people who hold the system together then start to become the ones who want to challenge the system.
We already have many groups that have open conflict with each other over their extremes, the religious fundamentalist and the Homosexuals, the far left and the far right, the Angry Farmers and the Maori radicals or the anarchists against everything. But when these groups start to see that they can focus on the system instead of each other, the government looses another foot hold. It is easier to deal with conflicting groups when you can mediate and deal with them attacking each other, but when they are attacking you, then you are less able to see things as they need to be seen and the ability to sit down and work it out becomes much less.
So back to the possibility. When any of these groups does start to act against the system to bring forward the fear and feeling of chaos amongst the people, they will bring about the fall of this country. This could be done in a week. It could be done over a long period of time. Some are already working on long term plans. As more and more people end up with under paid part time jobs and less and less power through the lack of the current Union’s, along side the growing sickness benefit and unemployment levels, (all of witch have to much time on their hands) then the recruitment for the larger and more organised and even more importantly more active groups will increase dramatically. The level of acceptance amongst the lower paid people and those who felt they could have done better under another system is getting less.
When the Governments see that they are loosing their power, often they rush in new laws that will keep their power intact for a bit longer, but this in turn leads to more people getting disaffected and more willing to be part of the resistance. It’s all around the world, and all through history. Yet the most educated people seem to think it will never happen here.
