Total victory is all you need. Love comes easily to the the worthy victor.
It’s a lark, innit? I mean the old end of the year thing… Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about? Er, nope. Try telling that to a couple of colliding and collapsing planets and grinding tectonic plates. Hung up? Yep, it's a drag. But then, hanging can focus the mind wonderfully. Everything is real enough for us.
"In Summer we shiver, in Winter we sweat". Chinese proverb.
It’s that sudden grab at the heart and soul that happens on the entirely random compromise that is the artificial end of a year. Colliding hearts and collapsing souls. Absolutely everything is important except for most of it, and that’s not always true, except right now. And all the people and events that have passed and floated by and caught in the spirit and punch that is you. And you can leave some folks and a lot of it behind if it’s time and if it's right.
You know there’s a trace somewhere and somehow, or it’s all gone, and that’s the way it is. There’s a Cuban saying that a man is nothing without a family. So it is and sometimes a family diminishes. I have an unshakeable core and so do you, that's endlessly reinforced by reality and dreams. Reality being just like a punch to the head, or a blue note and my five year old son, and everything is happening all at once and right now, always. Dreams are like fruit that can be picked and eaten hungrily in a big piece or left to rot.
Just like Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee, I believe in sleeping and eating. I like waking up in a Judeo Christian Capitalist Democracy. My feeble and simple advice is to first master the ordinary. All else comes from this.
If I do my research, I’m right every time, and then I can move onto something sublime and be more than simply correct, which is limited and in error. My further advice, for what it's worth, is I listen to you and learn, my online friends and compatriots.
The Beatles are on TV in spectacular colour and the remixed ‘Love’ album. And never was the whole so triumphantly superior to the sum of its already wonderful parts. Yet, I have no sentimentality as I equate nostalgia with claustrophobia. Curiously, I find many traditions and heritage freeing and propelling into the future via a dynamic present.
I love my strange, smart and beautiful Japanese wife and my wild child son full of energy, love, thoughts and warmth. And 2008 they say, will be different to 2007, for maybe no reason at all, except that we run out of time.
Time is the fire in which we burn.
To all the beautiful and thoughtful human beings who have read my shabby blog, who have put my writings up on their sites, I salute you, I do. You don’t realise how much such connection has meant to me and how very much it’s helped to develop my skills and connect neurons in stronger ways, such as they are. I thank God for the Internet, Destroyer of MSM Worlds.
I’ve just seen the first ten minutes of 30 Rock. Who would have thought? Any comedy at all finally making fun of the current Himalaya's of Left bilge, eh. I mean publicly and mainstream... Still, it’s a laugh innit?
“Are you going out for New Year?”
“Er, no. We’re getting it home delivered and we get a discount”.
And when I’m connected and gym energised, with an idea and determination, I can feel everyone, all of you out there in the world, even if I’m alone, or surrounded by a party scene, I do, I know you.
I’m not sure why I like this tune. It’s great to shout a la Jimmy Barnes. It’s the weight of the words really and that they seem to convey a catharsis and an urgency. It’s weird and cool anyway.
Shamans Blues. The Doors.
There will never be another one like you.
There will never be another one who can
Do the things you do, oh. Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember.
We were together, anyway, all right.
And if you have a certain evenin', you could lend to me.
I'd give it all right back to you, a how it has to be with you.
I know your moves and your mind.
And your mind. And your mind. And your mind. And your mind.
And your mind. And your mind.
Will you stop and think and wonder? Just what you'll see.
Out on the train yard, nursin' penitentiary.
It's gone, I cry out long. Go head, brother.
Did you stop it to consider?
How it will feel, cold, grinded grizzly bear jaws, hot on your heels.
Do you often stop and whisper? It's Saturday's shore.
The whole world's a savior.

Do you remember? Will you stop? Will you stop? The pain.
And there will never be another one like you.
There will never be another one who can,
do the things you do, oh
Will you give another chance? Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember.
We were together, anyway, all right,
How you must of think and wondered.
How I must feel.

I'm alone for you and I cry.
The sweat, look at it. Optical promise
Heh, heh, heh. You'll be dead and in hell before I'm born.
Sure thing. Brides maid.
The only solution. Isn't it amazing?
What’s it all about, Jim? None of it is about being amorphous, a newt, a vacuum and a nullity. This is the opposite of flexibility and a solid core. It’s about the here and now, a sense of humour, technology and getting laid. It’s about what you and I see in the mirror right now. And damn right you’re somebody. The Western Canon protects us all and has the power to bring the light of God into an indifferent natural world and deliver total victory of the personal and worldwide kind.

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a very Happy New Year. Colonel Robert Neville.

Tea n’ Tea.

"Why the Hell can't you leave me alone with a nice cuppa?" Chuck Heston.
“…tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country, as well as in Eire, Australia and New Zealand…” George Orwell. The Evening Standard for January 12, 1946.
AC/DC, the great Australian rock band, actually prefers and longs for, a nice cup of tea back stage. It’s true. They’re not boozers, but perhaps surprisingly typical Australians of Scottish immigrant background teetotallers.
“Hey, man I heard there was some really hot tea brewin’! Hey, there is? Aah, Ceylon Gold leaf”. A lost beatnik.
I once saw Angus Young patiently signing for fans outside the entrance of the Como Hotel in South Yarra. He’s not a very big guy, in fact he’s not much bigger than a Gibson SG, but he sure sounds larger than life. He was very unassuming and with that casual thing we sardonic and swingin’ Aussies have. It’s as Eric Bana explained, that trait of being generally unimpressed by things that are touted as such.
There’s a cultural analysis a mile wide in the history of AC/DC and the reactions of the fashionable inner urbanites to them. There was always the classic dismissal as a mere yob band, by those who are incapable of expressing anything straight forwardly fun, virile and memorable in any medium, especially using say a few simple chords, linked with killer riffs, authentic attitude and a furious intent.
Now Accadacca are more often used as a post ironic motif on groovy inner city labels, relentlessly mining the past for ideas that they could never pull out of their arse. And if you go to an AC/DC concert, every kind of person is there and it’s all such a genuine thrill.
Without a cup of tea I don’t think I could have gone on. It’s the very unflustered ritual and concentrated civilised focus of it all. And I really like the taste, though I don’t know what kind of taste it is really.
The British Empire, one of my favourite Empires, was founded on drinking cups of tea.
And everywhere the British went, they left the Rule of Law and Codes of Practice, complete trade, business and commerce infrastructures, transport, a professional civil service, rights and responsibilities, literature, culture, music and the arts, plus a nice crushing of local voodoo, like bride burning for instance and well, the list is endless, chums. Yep, human scale flaws, hypocrisy and snobbery too. Snobbery is sometimes like the fleas on a dog; it keeps things stimulated and jumping.
And as for the real world vice of the hypocrite, only people like Hitler and Islamists who state their hideous intent and then act upon them fully are usually lacking or without hypocrisy. But then, the current dominant fashion of reducto ad absurdum, is to give absolutely no credit to the awesome achievements of the British Empire at all. And to all that are so inclined, I’ll try not to yawn endlessly as they drivel and drone. One doesn’t like to be rude, especially to frauds, half wits and the afflicted. It just wouldn’t do, old boy.
And in the end, the English gave it all up in virtual historically unique peaceful transitions, whatever bog standard anti-colonial hyperbole one may be prone too.
Colonel Neville: “Hey, Aunty. What do you think of Red China?”
Aunty MacNeville: “Och, not with the blue table cloth!”
Now look at any place that kept their British forms and those that progressively junked them. The difference is between functioning economies with civil governments, and the kind of places that are merely variations on the standard gangster and Despot Madhouse of Despair Fiefdoms, and invariably funded with some kind of international aid.
As P.J O’Rourke has said, it is precisely these two fundamental things that is the difference between places that suck, and those that don’t.
But back to tea. Many a late night, with a cool breeze blowin’ in an open window, I have stood at the sink practicing scales on a strat, sat writing, laid in bed reading, listening to a radio magazine, or just in the bath just a thinkin’ you know, thangs… but a loyal cup of tea was always by my side.
Though the cold wind blows outside, there is only warmth here.
Though the day was harsh, here, there is only sweetness.
They say one can choose to be content;
Well, sometimes there is no other choice.
A cup of tea, books, paper and a pen, for me, this is the most perfect moment. Michael David Jay.
To be prepared I needed a note pad and pen, a stack of books, ten packets of guitar strings, and some cash, either in large bills or of the Johnny Cash kind. And get your hands away from my tea, creep.
“When I was just a baby, my Momma told me, Son,
always be a good boy, don't mess around with guns.
I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry”.
Yes, so I always keep a trench shovel handy too. You never know when you may have to dig a trench in a darkened room and after all, the desert is a lonely place. That’s why I always live several floors up. I don’t like surprises at 3: AM.
And I owe my survival, creativity and the strength of my own integrity and autonomy to tea. That drink of Kings and common men, guitar players and of my Father. The only and I do mean the only thing he ever drank, ever, was tea. He said he never drank water because there was no tea in it.
“Aye, a cuppa char, lad?”
The wife bein’ Japanese an’ all, she knows a thing or two about the ceremony of tea and so on. And the convoluted tea shenanigans of the Japanese are pretty integral to the wacky Japanese Imperialist story. The trouble is, nobody could really use a whole lotta Japanese culture and institutions that much but the Japanese. Not even Japanese enjoy it all; they just do it extremely well.
The Nippon idea of tea is too inflexibly utilitarian to formal, stylised and well, Japanese and therefore, either entirely functional or a tedious and humourless museum piece ritualised bore. And all that suicide pilot and salary men jumping outta high rise windows stuff turns anybody off.
Who does the interminable and joyless tea ceremony pastiche today? Only tourist spots, Diplomats, Grandmas, Geisha's and weirdo Western oriental obsessive’s. The Japanese don’t really like to talk during a meal or such and there’s a crucial difference, the English do.
“Ere Pete, I saw your Doris wearing a rubber dinghy on her head down the Main Street. I thought ‘ere, it’s not Wednesday is it?” Derek and Clive.
Yes, a cup of real tea late in the quiet of the night can concentrate the mind on the present, define the past and project the soul into the future. I wonder, wonder I do, if tea and what it means can still do it. Help give us the clarity, strength and rational thinking skills to deliver an epiphany of insight into a total victory over what we face now. Here's to a tea cup in a coming storm, sports.

Cathy comes home, to Sunny Vale Retirement Gardens.

Sadly, by the time Mrs McGillicuddy arrived at Sunny Vale, she was completely insane and totally raving. "You will obey me!" she'd scream at her carers, as they changed her matching tailored outfits and sheets sometimes up to a dozen times a day.
Old people are often just plain nuts. Mrs McGillicuddy kept on imploring me, “Won’t you please tell me?!” Er, tell you what exactly?
“Oh, won’t you please just tell me?!” And? Well, that was the whole spooky thing as far as she was concerned. And she continued. “This hospital is just like my shop!” And what kind of shop did you have there, kid?
“I don’t know, but this place is just like it!” Mrs McGillicuddy had seen me a few times over a grand total of a few weeks and she told me rather eerily, “After all these years, you haven’t changed...”
And indeed I haven’t. Not with my Time Machine which gives me total power over the space time continuum. Yep, I still wear the same feeble paper party hat I had when I was 12. It’s a kind of sparkly green cone shaped affair with a jaunty orange chicken feather. I’m known for it in fact.
“There goes Colonel Neville wearing his trademark festive headwear!” they say in admiration.
And that’s the thing, you can’t control your environment, and how life is bound to end badly. It’s just hard to get inspired by drip feeds and heavily darned cardigans patterned with soup stains. When my own Mother became very ill, after a long period of mysterious poisoning, the most important thing for her personally, was to remain useful, to feel wanted and important.
Sadly, she was none of those things, so I found her suitable employ as a test pilot. And people have called me heartless! How many sons get their elderly Mother's a job with great new career opportunities?
She seemed to enjoy it and really rallied around. Sometimes Mummy would be so excited when I was strapping her into the latest version of the TX9000 High Altitude Death Cruiser, that I’d have to open her a fresh bottle of Whiskey and give her an injection.
The powerful G forces really worked a miracle on her humped back and when she’d return from a test flight, usually by parachute, she’d be so straightened and flattened out, that I often sent her home via post in a plain yellow envelope. Mother always enjoyed that and would tell me how she passed time on the trip, bursting the plastic bubbles and while just waitin’ around in the Post Office box, that I rented and furnished for her.
Are old people boring? Not if you don’t listen to a word they say and keep them in the attic. It’s horrible really what may become of us all, focused for hours on end over a single bread crumb in the centre of a vast sea of creepy carpet, while covered in saliva and oatmeal, and that's on formal occasions.
My Mother was obsessed with making endless frozen meals at an ever decreasing cost per unit and storing them in vast piles in deep freezers.
Mother: “Look! These 400 chipped beef dinners work out at less than 15c a meal! They’re ripping you off at a restaurant. I can feed your Father and I for a whole year for only fifty-two dollars. I could have supplied Ice Station Zebra for over three years for less than the cost of a budget priced Chihuahua!”
Always with the Ice Station Zebra. Yes, and why waste a good Chihuahua?
Old people are funny. Er, no, actually they’re not, not at all. Not while you’re still in the same room with them. Generally, they’re depressing and extraordinarily dull and boring. Hey, Dull and Boring, who’ll ever forget them? They’re paranoid, uninterested in anything later than four decades ago and for some unfathomable reason they often dig synthetic materials over natural, especially in furniture, teeth and hair.
And man, what’s a doily for anyway? Claustrophobia as an interior decorating statement? And if you ever move one of those embroidered spider webs even a fraction, you’ll be, oh so severely, admonished! Or when they're out of the room, try getting rid of a doily...
Why? Because doilies look creepy, super daggy, claustrophobic, pointless, crispy and yellowed with stains and dust and creepy and fussy and creepy and so curiously 19th Century. Hey, only a two hundred year old genteel knick knack accessory? It's the latest thing!
Every senior citizen in a wig or toupee looks like they borrowed it from a window store mannequin, or the wardrobe department for Lancelot Link. Always with the same follicles akimbo and head mat on an angle, riding high and hovering styling, like a powerfull wind slammed a door very hard. It’s the Jerry Lewis Kabuki fright wig Range. And why not. It's a freak country.
Also, old people don’t really like art, music or good food much. Not really. Especially art that looks like digested food and music with any kind of beat, including the more daring and contemporary forms of Polka. All their art looks so much like something that it looks like nothing and you know what it is because you’ve seen it so many times on a cookie tin.
The only attractive thing about old folks, apart from their permanent chocolate biscuit collection, is that they’re not teenagers, because old people are actually identical to five-year olds, except for the bed wetting. Sadly, old people never grow out of it.
And teenagers are so easily offended. I said to a teen, “What are you going to be when you’re no longer an embarrassing, confused and irritating pain in the ass?” And they took offence at that!
There are certain inappropriate words and phrases you should never use with a teen. Like “Do this…” “Clean this.”, “Listen to me.”, “Wait a little.”, “Consider others sometimes.” ,“Think carefully.”, “Be yourself.”, “Think of the future.”, “I know what I’m talking about.”, “I have no money.” and the worst one of all is, “Hey, I really like that too!”
My Mother once said to me that Neil Diamond was not a has-been if he was good in the past. And imagine if you’re barely excitingly average to begin with? Ah, the Golden Years. But that’s incontinence for ya. I’m just glad there’s nothing that's an embarrassing drag or unpleasant about middle-aged people.

I am leg end in mouth.

Hitler and friends celebrate Adolf waking up with a happy and kind thought for the world. "I vant to kill everybody! Including all of you! Germany doesn't deserve to live!" chuckled the Fuhrer, as the breakfast nook at Gestapo Headquarters erupted into riotous laughter.
'Smart, friendly and funny, you have to wonder if anything ever upsets Will Smith's good nature.
"Well, if I understand the problem then I don't get annoyed", he explained. "People driving past in the car and giving me the finger annoys my wife but it's because they think you did something to them. They think you're driving too slow and keeping them from getting to their daughter's birthday party, or you cut them off and didn't see".
Remarkably, Will believes everyone is basically good.
"Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'let me do the most evil thing I can do today", said Will. "I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming.
I wake up every day full of hope, positive that every day is going to be better than yesterday. And I'm looking to infect people with my positivity. I think I can start an epidemic. As a teenager, I was too focused on sex to think about any other vices. I still am"
I Am Legend is out now.
From Dailyrecord.com.uk, December 22 2007 by Siobhan Synnot.
Will Smith, casual Hitler analyst. I like Will Smith and if every hideous, stupid, repulsive, embarrassing, repellent and very wrong thing many other celebrities and stars ever said on record was noticed and spun around the world, the news services would grind to a halt. Yep, Hitler is one of the few non Democratic swine you can’t praise as a celebrity. Will should have stuck to Chavez, Che the child killer, Castro, Irans Monkey King, Mao, Ho Chi Minh or even Stalin. Then it’d all be just a bit of a laugh really.
He said he didn’t mean how it was taken. Er, how was it supposed to be taken exactly beyond hey, that's a bit odd? But hey, he does think Hitler is a poo poo face anyway, which is a lot better than most stars who relentlessly applaud some of the worlds biggest killers and most rotten regimes. I guess the problem is that whatever stars say can be so extremely amplified, unlike the words of say a lesser being like er, me.
But it was a weird thing to say, wasn’t it, eh? Smith is obviously worldly and not a fool.
After reading the actual interview in which Will talks briefly about Hitler’s mindset and motives, at least according to how Smith sees ‘em, I thought how reflective this little bit of thinking is. I mean, it’s doesn’t seem based on any real and easily available research. Maybe Will should add a nice little section in his bookcase on the Fuhrer of Nuts, and read it.
Look, Will wasn’t saying he thought Hitler was a good person. What he said reminds me how many simply cannot comprehend or have not really tried to understand, what drives such evil and what it means to those who are the victims. Many have an inability to discern, grasp and face historical reality or the idea of what a real threat is.
Hey, I’m not always crazy about reality myself, especially the vacuuming, but the old let’s be positive thing, can merely end in irrational denial of anything too unpleasant.
In the interview, Will talks a lot about being positive and about his achievements, and he has done a damn lot. Especially when compared to my meagre efforts. But then the guy who collects tin cans compares pretty well to my long list of fiasco and non-starters. Hey, they’re all ‘learning experiences!’ Er, right.
And Will was pretty humble this time, not saying he was a God or anything. That’s his PR agent’s job.
Man. I loved him in ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ and I’m looking forward to seeing him in ‘I am Legend’, being Colonel Robert Neville, an’ all. He’s a great entertainer and I like his ‘Switch’ song. It was very fresh, authentic and sexy because of it. And he's a positive and energetic guy. Maybe that’s why he said it, stupid sod. It was a small bit in one of thousands of interviews, and in a way, why pay attention to celebrities anyway?
He’s not actually done anything terrible, and that’s an important point, to have such focus on a few paragraphs, however naff, as opposed to a million terrible realities by actions. Celebs will babble on and it's appropriate to challenge them, but they hardly ever are, really, eh?
There's an old Peter Cook and Dudley Moore piece where Pete says "did you see that thing on Hitler on the telly last night? Hitler only had one flaw...he was horrible".
Pete goes on to talk about the power of the media, saying how after he had watched the documentary, he went across the park to the shops to buy a packet of cigarettes, and before he realised what he'd done, "I'd murdered 15 million people. Which just goes to show the power of television".
A common way of seeing the world today it, is to be completely ignorant and wrong about whole areas of history and be utterly predictable in your views on anything current. What should be basic concepts can seem to be beyond many people. You can say the most outrageous things and act upon them, just make sure it's the currently accepted bunk.
Thus folks state clearly that they trust any of our declared enemies over our elected representatives… I mean, any of them! Thus a Totalitarian psychopath child killer like Che Guevara, or an Islamist freak like Iran's nuclear Chimp Leader is always and automatically more valid and reliable than any Democratic leader, merely because such monstrous contrary illogic supports a current and default posture. Odd, innit? So many lack any judgement worth a damn at all.
But not if you look at it as extreme, narcissistic wishful thinking and naiveté, pushed through the prism of Left mental illness. Evan Sayet has said that the Left Liberal always sides with evil over good, and what ultimately leads to failure over success.
It’s this total inability to recognise anything, to see thing as they empirically are, to tell good from bad and to be able to discriminate at all. Sometimes, evidence of rational thought in the public, can seem as an evaporating and fast disappearing lake of reason.
Will's perhaps limited ways of expressing serious issues are much like many ordinary people, politicians, Hollywood, the entertainment industry and celebrities in general etc. Many folks just 'feel' things and think this is close enough to reality. Er, no.
Celebrities nearly all love the same corn politics almost to a person. It’s all just emotional posturing, the narcissism of immature, irresponsible, extremely rich and relentlessly unresearched stars, living scoop dee doo in a highly privileged and abstract stratosphere.
Now while Will is an otherwise nice guy and family man who is kind, thoughtful and goes to extraordinary lengths for his many fans and the people who hire him, he is perhaps a little um, out of his depth on the mentality of 20th Century Dictators and tyrants. He is an actor after all. Many actors believe that the often mediocre Logical Fallacy's they routinely spout are of value, because it sure feels intense and pretty urgently of import to them. Maybe it’s the drugs?
When in fact beyond raw material for satire, their words of wisdom and non-insight are often daft, profoundly worthless and curiously juvenile opinions.
Will’s views on old Adolf and his modus operandi are sadly misplaced and way off the mark, as in light years, but a lot of celebrities are clueless, useless and far more ignorant, so he shouldn’t feel too bad and probably won’t too much. Yep, a little of your standard absurd ‘Movie Star’ reverie really.
Hitler was completely driven by his hatred of really all human beings and life in general. He had no errors of judgement that were allegedly “for the good” at all. There are no “errors” in the monstrous historical facts of Nazism, Communism and Socialism etc. If it’s awful in every way, then it’s entirely authentic. I hate to tell ya, Will, but um, Hitler was a Nazi and as such, completely believed, thought and acted like one. Zero shades of grey there, old boy.
Hitler only liked sterile and dead things. He was a Totalitarian sadist and deeply neurotic bore. Sure, he had his bad side too. Every day Hitler did indeed “wake up” with only his decade’s long evil plans of mass death and control on his mind. That’s what people like Adolf do. Nazism was based just like Communism, on murder, lies, conformity, envy, spite and madness. At the core of Nazism was not order, but absolute swirling chaos.
Now, if you read Will Smiths interview, it’s a good one if soft, but that’s showbiz and he makes a good impression, except for the pointless Hitler tangent. Maybe it’s just hard to come up with something to say after interview number 1,845. But you know, how many people do you meet who know much on what used to be thought of as pivotal figures, events and concepts? And good luck findin’ ‘em in Tinsel Town.
Nuance, subtlety, perspective, proportion, harsh facts, rational thought, depth of research and a mature, objective attitude to a subject are essentials for any true and worthwhile understanding on a serious topic. You need none of these to be an actor or any kind of celebrity. The average celebrity 'interview' is mostly entirely predictable and can be done by numbers and usually is. Sadly, those numbers can more often than not, add up to precisely zero.

Gore undergoes water boarding to prove torture allegations. Al confesses “Yes! I’m an obscenely rich, overweight lying phony and I’m boring!”

Al Gore’s many fans watching the premiere screening of his documentary “A Very Convenient Political Career Saver, an Enormous Money Spinner plus Completely Undeserved Credibility and Kudos”.
“Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable”. HL Mencken.
Oh, this is just too damn good, sports. While numbers of people having an opinion about anything are meaningless in themselves, 400 major scientists, including defectors from the current Club of Rome Version 11, AKA the IPCC, have now put out a profoundly evidential Senate Report debunking the global mass hysteria, orthodoxy, phony baloney and giant taxpayer funded gravy train that is er, The Global Warming Express. It’s an absolute delight of Climate Change ‘Fisking'. And about damn time, sports.
Now see how little if any, MSM exposure it gets.
“There are two kinds of light; the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures”. James Thurber.
Al Gore is not an accidental fraud; he’s a deliberate fraud and a natural incompetent, just like Paul Erlich with his preposterous book of 1968, “The Population Bomb”. Which in turn, was just like the book “Silent Spring”, the disgusting bunk book and utterly discredited, deeply flawed rip off, that led to the total banning of DDT, that has since resulted in the deaths of millions from resurgent malaria.
Gore’s Big Lies if implemented, will result in the prolonged misery and deaths of millions as activist’s slow, stop and even reverse development in the Third and Developing Worlds. See ‘Eco Imperialism’. Time magazine, the now largely worthless waiting room filler, publishes unchallenged and journalistic standards free hagiography’s to Gore, Suzuki et al. Why? Ask Pink Floyd.
“They call it riding the Gravy Train”.
There is no such thing as Global Warming. It’s not true. ALL Left, Liberal and Radical ideas are discredited if you wait long enough. Just don’t expect an apology, a retraction or a refund. The eagerly deluded fools, conformists, ideologues, gravy train ticket holders and modernity haters who follow Gore, make me think of the mutants in Planet of the Apes.
“Oh my God! They’re worshipping a bomb!”
Or in Al Gores case, worshipping a bum.
“May the Heavens declare the Glory of the Bomb and the firmament showeth his handy work. He decendeth from the outermost Heaven and there is nothing there hidden from the heat thereof.
There is neither speech nor language, yet his voice is heard among them. Glory be to the Bomb and the Holy fallout, as it was in the beginning, is now and forever shall be and the world without end. Amen.
Oh Almighty and Everlasting Bomb, that came down among us to make Heaven on the Earth and lighten our darkness. Oh instrument of God, grant us thy peace. I reveal my innermost self to the Sacred Bomb and the Holy Fallout”.
Yep, keep worshipping away at Al’s Cobalt Tipped head, kids. His utter fakery is all so outrageously out there, with its incredible lack of Quality Control. Nothing Gore has said stands up to any serious scrutiny. Nothing. Like the venal manipulator and conman Michael Moore, there is nothing they would not say or do, no damage that they would not risk doing to make a statement, to make masses of money and to up their hideous profiles.
People who follow Gore without checking his political history of rank opportunism are either lazy, slaves, thick, dopey or just want to follow someone, anything to avoid looking at real and empirical problems. Or, my God! They actually believe it!
They are worshipping a bomb!
The Left, Radical and activist rabble are merely looking for a wholly undeserved legitimacy, while clinging desperately and hysterically to a new and totally bogus ‘cause’. There are many other freaks after the usual cash, power, opportunity and status etc.
Hey, let’s all focus on Climate Change! Deep down we don’t really believe it, but it’s something we can all do together and it’s easier to deal with something that can be generally ignored, beyond a list of useless and pointless behaviours, than something relentless that can’t be ignored, like um, an Islamic Apocalypse.
Yeah, using cotton bags is apparently better than plastic bags. Er, no. Cotton is much more expensive to produce and takes far more of a toll on resources and the old environment. Plastic bags are relatively cheap to make and have less environmental impact, especially if disposed of in landfill. And there is no shortage of places to make holes in the ground, just a surplus of activists who stop the digging of said holes. Try using green cotton bags instead of plastic in a hospital...
It’s recycling that uses resources inefficiently and is mostly a taxpayer subsidised fraud. It mostly makes people feel good. Why don’t you see many drink cans laying around? Because they’re worth money. Why does the government have to spend your money telling you and forcing everyone to recycle? Because it’s mostly an inefficient use of resources and a mostly worthless activity. Look up an excellent Penn and Teller piece on YouTube under 'Recycling', or go to their website.
Hey, just for laughs, Google 'Al Gore is a fraud' and then dig the vast amount of factual sewage that bursts forth on King Rat Gore. Hey, Al used to be a good looking guy. What the Hell happened? 'The Picture of Dorian Grey? Except the good looker is in the attic and the sins are walking around.
Gore has his vast vortex of a house sucking in twenty times the average person’s electricity consumption along with its heated pool. Then he get’s in his private Gulf Stream Jet, when there are 112 perfectly suitable First Class flights available to the same place, and after stetching his legs, get’s into his chauffeured Limousine, while checking his dividends from his stupid and massively successful carbon credits company.
The list is so long of Gore’s empty hypocrisy, I could type for days and not finish. It’s like Islamists; they put out a shingle on Main Street, stating clearly what they think and then follow it up with explosive action and the Left go into hyper dhimmi denial and apology with mental and moral gymnastics that should feature in the Ringling Bros Circus Big Tent.
Gore is supposed to be the smart guy. Gore failed at University, and in the very subjects he is now lecturing the world on. He was a mostly F, D and C student. Gore is very overweight and talks about control and restraint, and drivels about greed. Er, right. George Bush is apparently the moron, albeit an evil genius moron. Bush is just sometimes inarticulate like many people. Perhaps how we nearly all are in public speaking, especially say when talking to a billion people.
George has an IQ of 125 according to Harvard and Yale. He graduated from both with a fairly common C average. C average means a little more at these joints a' learnin' than at other brick piles. George is a fully qualified jet pilot and flies them. He's also very fit. These are facts, not mere MSM generated impressions for a sleepwalking public.
Gore’s conman act and charade of Enviro-Saint is evil, because it’s a lie and with it, he damages the fabric of the body politic. He effects especially young peoples psyche’s over a mere phantom. He causes a loss of confidence and belief in our Western culture, achievements, freedoms and traditions, and this is a large part of what adds to depression among the young, as indeed most Left ideology does. It's essentially morbid at core. Leftism is so naturally inward looking, and about scarcity and envy.
And when Gore utimately fades away and is fully discredited along with the embarassing hysteria of Global Warming, what kind of long, dark shadow will such a prolonged and deliberate betrayal of trust and high position cast?
Al Gore, Michael Moore, MSM journalists sans almost any journalistic standards, academic ideologues, celebrities, the merely opportunistic and the mediocre politicians are all, criminal fraudsters. They all ride the group non-think of mass hypnosis and brainwashing that's at the core of the Global Warming movement. It's a 'phenomena' much like the face of Jesus on a pizza.
Remember folks, it's your money.
You are being had. Tricked to the tune of billions of dollars in actual money, in actual lost potential in absolutely misdirected time and resources. Conserving resources? Ain’t that what it’s supposed to be all about? Merely conserving is a ridiculous non-concept in itself. Wealth is not a single packet of cookies.
To save resources, simply totally ignore and give no validity to people like Al Gore. Overnight you will save billions to trillions and the wealth creation it takes to generate these vast sums of mostly, your money.
“Everyone rises to their level of incompetence”. Laurence J. Peter.
Arise, Al Gore, you rotten and stupid man.

We have a 'Rendezvous with Destiny', sports.

After Jimmy Carter, the worlds first Eunuch President, Americans wanted what counts in the end, a man with balls. They voted for Ronald Reagan, All American.
Ronald Reagan is invariably called a “B Grade actor” by people with B grade minds, who are perhaps incapable of conceiving of anything analytically fresh and startling, original or worthwhile.
Reagan started off where he could get paid acting work, like virtually all young actors. And eventually he just found other things he wanted to do more, such as er, politics I believe.
Reagan was one of the featured principles in ‘Kings Row’, nominated for best picture at the 1942 Academy Awards. It starred Anne Sheridan, Robert Cummings and Claude Raines. Claude was a main character in David Lean’s ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. Reagan was a featured principle in ‘Dark Victory’ with Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart and Van Heflin. Ron was a featured lead alongside Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland in 1940’s ‘Santa Fe Trail’, a popular if naff film of the time.
He also did a lot of of television work, including live to air, and co-starred opposite James Dean in the dramatic CBS production ‘The Dark Hours’. Jimmy is the young hood with a revolver, surprised by a country Doctor played by Ronnie.
Reagan was also the winner of a Golden Globe Award. “B grade actor", eh? Er, no. He was in B grade films, just like many major actors are today. It’s really the old Left Liberal ad hominem tactic No. 3/A. ‘Reduce and dismiss all opponents by repeating outrageous lies and distortions enough’. 3/B is ‘Never give credit where credit is due’.
"Total victory may forgive a vice but absolute defeat cancels all virtues". Colonel Robert Neville.
Curiously, the Left relentlessly applies the reverse of this dictum. Here’s an interesting fact. Reagan was a bronzed, very fit athlete, football star and beach lifesaver. As a lifesaver, he personally rescued over seventy people from drowning. That means that even as a young man, Ronald Reagan had already saved the lives of over seventy more people than Che the child killer Guevara, who only ever enjoyed totally controlling and murdering as many people as he could.
Near the end of ‘Kings Row’, a pretty cool if somewhat of a 'Tennesee Williams via Peyton Place' kinda plot and synopsis, there’s the following dialogue and scene.
Drake: "What's this all about, kid?"
Parris: "My grandmother used to say, some people grow up and some people just grow older. I guess it's time we found out about us, you and me, whether I'm a doctor, whether you're a man. You know the kind of man I mean, Drake. There's a piece of poetry, Invictus. I don't think I remember all the words".
'Out of the night that covers me,black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be for my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance, my head is bloody, but unbowed.
Right on. I just love the following speech, ‘Rendezvous with Destiny’. I’ve changed almost nothing but a few grammatical points for ease of reading. While it may seem a little long, it’s all so incredibly, even bizarrely relevant and prescient to today. Forty-five years later, the only things that seem to have changed are the names of the characters, but not the plot. Oh yeah, it’s also much worse now.
Yep, Ronnie had his flaws, but usually not the ones repeated ad nauseum by his detractors. Still, Reagan’s freeing of almost a billion Europeans from 44 years of Soviet Communism wasn’t a bad achievement for the Gipper, was it?
Now dig this. It’s a damn great speech, even the domestic policy details. But especially cathartic is the last section**, level with Mark Steyn in the 'Swingin' links' list. This part has an almost magical momentum, speed and urgency. After all, we are still free men and women, but as Dylan said, “the hour, it is getting late”.
Address on behalf of Senator Barry Goldwater. October 27, 1964.
Rendezvous with Destiny.
This speech is a verbatim transcript of "The Speech" given as a portion of a pre-recorded, nationwide televised program sponsored by Goldwater-Miller on behalf of Barry Goldwater, Republican candidate for the presidency whom Ronald Reagan actively supported. (4,626 words.)
Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks.
I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used "We've never had it so good."
But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income.
Today, 37 cents of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share, and yet our government continues to spend $17 million a day more than the government takes in. We haven't balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We have raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations in the world. We have $15 billion in gold in our treasury--we don't own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are $27.3 billion, and we have just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.
As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace?
There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it has been said if we lose that war, and in doing so lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.
Well, I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.
Not too long ago two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are! I had someplace to escape to."
In that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.
In this vote-harvesting time, they use terms like the "Great Society," or as we were told a few days ago by the President, we must accept a "greater government activity in the affairs of the people." But they have been a little more explicit in the past and among themselves--and all of the things that I now will quote have appeared in print. These are not Republican accusations.
For example, they have voices that say "the cold war will end through acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism." Another voice says that the profit motive has become outmoded, it must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state; or our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the 20th century.
Senator Fulbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. He referred to the president as our moral teacher and our leader, and he said he is hobbled in his task by the restrictions in power imposed on him by this antiquated document. He must be freed so that he can do for us what he knows is best.
And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government." Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me,the free man and woman of this country,as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America.
But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government"--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that; it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.
Now, we have no better example of this than the government's involvement in the farm economy over the last 30 years. Since 1955, the cost of this program has nearly doubled. One-fourth of farming in America is responsible for 85% of the farm surplus. Three-fourths of farming is out on the free market and has known a 21% increase in the per capita consumption of all its produce. You see, that one-fourth of farming is regulated and controlled by the federal government. In the last three years we have spent $43 in feed grain program for every bushel of corn we don't grow.
Senator Humphrey last week charged that Barry Goldwater as President would seek to eliminate farmers. He should do his homework a little better, because he will find out that we have had a decline of 5 million in the farm population under these government programs. He will also find that the Democratic administration has sought to get from Congress an extension of the farm program to include those three-fourths that are now free.
He will find that they have also asked for the right to imprison farmers who wouldn't keep books as prescribed by the federal government. The Secretary of Agriculture asked for the right to seize farms through condemnation and resell them to other individuals. And contained in that same program was a provision that would have allowed the federal government to remove 2 million farmers from the soil.
At the same time, there has been an increase in the Department of Agriculture employees. There is now one for every 30 farms in the United States, and still they can't tell us how 66 shiploads of grain headed for Austria disappeared without a trace and Billie Sol Estes never left shore.
Every responsible farmer and farm organization has repeatedly asked the government to free the farm economy, but who are farmers to know what is best for them? The wheat farmers voted against a wheat program. The government passed it anyway. Now the price of bread goes up; the price of wheat to the farmer goes down.
Meanwhile, back in the city, under urban renewal the assault on freedom carries on. Private property rights are so diluted that public interest is almost anything that a few government planners decide it should be. In a program that takes for the needy and gives to the greedy, we see such spectacles as in Cleveland, Ohio, a million-and-a-half-dollar building completed only three years ago must be destroyed to make way for what government officials call a "more compatible use of the land".
The President tells us he is now going to start building public housing units in the thousands where heretofore we have only built them in the hundreds. But FHA and the Veterans Administration tell us that they have 120,000 housing units they've taken back through mortgage foreclosures. For three decades, we have sought to solve the problems of unemployment through government planning, and the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan. The latest is the Area Redevelopment Agency. They have just declared Rice County, Kansas, a depressed area. Rice County, Kansas, has two hundred oil wells, and the 14,000 people there have over $30 million on deposit in personal savings in their banks. When the government tells you you're depressed, lie down and be depressed.
We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion that the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one. So they are going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning. Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer and they've had almost 30 years of it, shouldn't we expect government to almost read the score to us once in a while? Shouldn't they be telling us about the decline each year in the number of people needing help? The reduction in the need for public housing?
But the reverse is true. Each year the need grows greater, the program grows greater. We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry each night. Well, that was probably true. They were all on a diet. But now we are told that 9.3 million families in this country are poverty-stricken on the basis of earning less than $3,000 a year. Welfare spending is 10 times greater than in the dark depths of the Depression. We are spending $45 billion on welfare. Now do a little arithmetic, and you will find that if we divided the $45 billion up equally among those 9 million poor families, we would be able to give each family $4,600 a year, and this added to their present income should eliminate poverty! Direct aid to the poor, however, is running only about $600 per family. It would seem that someplace there must be some overhead.
So now we declare "war on poverty," or "you, too, can be a Bobby Baker!" Now, do they honestly expect us to believe that if we add $1 billion to the $45 million we are spending...one more program to the 30-odd we have--and remember, this new program doesn't replace any, it just duplicates existing programs--do they believe that poverty is suddenly going to disappear by magic?
Well, in all fairness I should explain that there is one part of the new program that isn't duplicated. This is the youth feature. We are now going to solve the dropout problem, juvenile delinquency, by re-instituting something like the old CCC camps, and we are going to put our young people in camps, but again we do some arithmetic, and we find that we are going to spend each year just on room and board for each young person that we help $4,700 a year! We can send them to Harvard for $2,700! Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that Harvard is the answer to juvenile delinquency.
But seriously, what are we doing to those we seek to help? Not too long ago, a judge called me here in Los Angeles. He told me of a young woman who had come before him for a divorce. She had six children, was pregnant with her seventh. Under his questioning, she revealed her husband was a labourer earning $250 a month. She wanted a divorce so that she could get an $80 raise. She is eligible for $330 a month in the Aid to Dependent Children Program. She got the idea from two women in her neighbourhood who had already done that very thing.
Yet anytime you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we are denounced as being against their humanitarian goals. They say we are always "against" things, never "for" anything.
Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so.
We are for a provision that destitution should not follow unemployment by reason of old age, and to that end we have accepted Social Security as a step toward meeting the problem.
But we are against those entrusted with this program when they practice deception regarding its fiscal shortcomings, when they charge that any criticism of the program means that we want to end payments to those who depend on them for livelihood. They have called it insurance to us in a hundred million pieces of literature. But then they appeared before the Supreme Court and they testified that it was a welfare program.
They only use the term "insurance" to sell it to the people. And they said Social Security dues are a tax for the general use of the government, and the government has used that tax. There is no fund, because Robert Byers, the actuarial head, appeared before a congressional committee and admitted that Social Security as of this moment is $298 billion in the hole. But he said there should be no cause for worry because as long as they have the power to tax, they could always take away from the people whatever they needed to bail them out of trouble! And they are doing just that.
A young man, 21 years of age, working at an average salary...his Social Security contribution would, in the open market, buy him an insurance policy that would guarantee $220 a month at age 65. The government promises $127. He could live it up until he is 31 and then take out a policy that would pay more than Social Security.
Now, are we so lacking in business sense that we can't put this program on a sound basis so that people who do require those payments will find that they can get them when they are due...that the cupboard isn't bare? Barry Goldwater thinks we can.
At the same time, can't we introduce voluntary features that would permit a citizen who can do better on his own to be excused upon presentation of evidence that he had made provisions for the non-earning years? Should we allow a widow with children to work, and not lose the benefits supposedly paid for by her deceased husband?
Shouldn't you and I be allowed to declare who our beneficiaries will be under these programs, which we cannot do? I think we are for telling our senior citizens that no one in this country should be denied medical care because of a lack of funds. But I think we are against forcing all citizens, regardless of need, into a compulsory government program, especially when we have such examples, as announced last week, when France admitted that their Medicare program was now bankrupt. They've come to the end of the road.
In addition, was Barry Goldwater so irresponsible when he suggested that our government give up its program of deliberate planned inflation so that when you do get your Social Security pension, a dollar will buy a dollar's worth, and not 45 cents' worth?
I think we are for an international organization, where the nations of the world can seek peace. But I think we are against subordinating American interests to an organization that has become so structurally unsound that today you can muster a two-thirds vote on the floor of the General Assembly among the nations that represent less than 10 percent of the world's population. I think we are against the hypocrisy of assailing our allies because here and there they cling to a colony, while we engage in a conspiracy of silence and never open our mouths about the millions of people enslaved in Soviet colonies in the satellite nations.
I think we are for aiding our allies by sharing of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs, but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world. We set out to help 19 countries. We are helping 107. We spent $146 billion. With that money, we bought a $2 million yacht for Haile Selassie. We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenyan government officials. We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity. In the last six years, 52 nations have bought $7 billion worth of our gold, and all 52 are receiving foreign aid from this country.
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this Earth. Federal employee’s number 2.5 million, and federal, state, and local, one out of six of the nation's work force is employed by the government.
These proliferating bureaus with their thousands of regulations have cost us many of our constitutional safeguards. How many of us realize that today federal agents can invade a man's property without a warrant? They can impose a fine without a formal hearing, let alone a trial by jury, and they can seize and sell his property in auction to enforce the payment of that fine.
In Chico County, Arkansas, James Wier overplanted his rice allotment. The government obtained a $17,000 judgment, and a U.S. marshal sold his 950-acre farm at auction. The government said it was necessary as a warning to others to make the system work. Last February 19 at the University of Minnesota, Norman Thomas, six-time candidate for President on the Socialist Party ticket, said, "If Barry Goldwater became President, he would stop the advance of socialism in the United States." I think that's exactly what he will do.
As a former Democrat, I can tell you Norman Thomas isn't the only man who has drawn this parallel to socialism with the present administration. Back in 1936, Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the part of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin.
And he walked away from his party, and he never returned to the day he died, because to this day, the leadership of that party has been taking that party, that honourable party, down the road in the image of the labour socialist party of England. Now it doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people.
What does it mean whether you hold the deed or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property? Such machinery already exists.
The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.
Our Democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues. They want to make you and I believe that this is a contest between two men...that we are to choose just between two personalities.
Well, what of this man that they would destroy? And in destroying, they would destroy that which he represents, the ideas that you and I hold dear. Is he the brash and shallow and trigger-happy man they say he is? Well, I have been privileged to know him "when." I knew him long before he ever dreamed of trying for high office, and I can tell you personally I have never known a man in my life I believe so incapable of doing a dishonest or dishonourable thing.
This is a man who in his own business, before he entered politics, instituted a profit-sharing plan, before unions had ever thought of it. He put in health and medical insurance for all his employees. He took 50 percent of the profits before taxes and set up a retirement program, a pension plan for all his employees. He sent checks for life to an employee who was ill and couldn't work. He provided nursing care for the children of mothers who work in the stores. When Mexico was ravaged by floods from the Rio Grande, he climbed in his airplane and flew medicine and supplies down there.
An ex-GI told me how he met him. It was the week before Christmas during the Korean War, and he was at the Los Angeles airport trying to get a ride home to Arizona for Christmas, and he said that there were a lot of servicemen there and no seats available on the planes. Then a voice came over the loudspeaker and said, "Any men in uniform wanting a ride to Arizona, go to runway such-and-such," and they went down there, and there was this fellow named Barry Goldwater sitting in his plane.
Every day in the weeks before Christmas, all day long, he would load up the plane, fly to Arizona, fly them to their homes, and then fly back over to get another load.
During the hectic split-second timing of a campaign, this is a man who took time out to sit beside an old friend who was dying of cancer. His campaign managers were understandably impatient, but he said, "There aren't many left who care what happens to her. I'd like her to know I care."
This is a man who said to his 19-year-old son, "There is no foundation like the rock of honesty and fairness, and when you begin to build your life upon that rock, with the cement of the faith in God that you have, then you have a real start." This is not a man who could carelessly send other people's sons to war.
**And that is the issue of this campaign that makes all of the other problems I have discussed academic, unless we realize that we are in a war that must be won.
Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory.
They call their policy "accommodation". And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer, not an easy answer, but simple.
If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based upon what we know in our hearts is morally right. We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion now in slavery behind the Iron Curtain, "Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters."
Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one".
Let's set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace, and you can have it in the next second. Surrender.
Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the spectre our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face, that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender.
If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand, the ultimatum. And what then? When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically.
He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Red than dead," or as one commentator put it, he would rather "live on his knees than die on his feet". And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us.
You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin, just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world?
The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honoured dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength".
Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits, not animals".
And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty".
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
We will keep in mind and remember that Barry Goldwater has faith in us. He has faith that you and I have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny. Thank you very much.

The rocket launcher wasn't mine: I just wanted Osama to sign it for a 'friend'.

A neighbour of David Hicks, observing the wonderful Jihadist at a get together to wish Dave a big 'Welcome Home Foiled Killer!'
"Gee, thanks, mate. Could you just write "To Dav...sorry, to Wozza, my favourite apprentice killer and junior sleeper cell member, the Big O. Lots of hugs and kisses! PS. Keep up the cheering and remember, a day not making a bomb or beheading a kidnapped civilian is a day wasted. Lots of love from your pal, Osama".
Dear sports, here's a Request of the Week from June 10 2007. Ok, so I requested it. With the Islamist freak letters to home of David dirttbag Hicks being published in the largely dhimmi Australian press, I thought hey, it'd be sure worth dusting off what I wrote, too.
As they say, wait long enough and every aspect, non-idea and phony non-hero of the Left is utterly discredited as the frauds that they are. Fear not! They soon have an entirely predictable mental gymnastic apologist lie ready. Or alternatively just dump Hicks as quickly as they adopted Him, just as per usual. Cos the acivist Left really cares and especially about the truth. Er, no.
Hicks was and is, an eager and fully trained terrorist in most everything and on apparently four separate occasions. And gosh, right up to one month before 9/11, which he gleefully cheered. Yes, let the right kind of patriot meet that boy on the street, just once and he'll get a damn goodd frowning!
From the AAP. 'In a May 2001 letter to family, Hicks wrote: "By the way I have met Osama bin Laden 20 times now, lovely brother, everything for the cause of Islam. The only reason the West calls him the most wanted Muslim is because he's got the money to take action".
Delightful, eh? Finally some sincerity from Dave.
One of the worlds few fully trained bogan terrorists, the dumb, venal phony liar David Hicks, is apparently a victim, your hero and worthy of massed resources for his what, Sainthood? I guess now that Mother Theresa and Mandela’s positions are vacant, eh?
"Nurse! The sheets!"
All along, Dave was apparently just a foolish and likely young lad. He was merely like a schoolgirl in love. All in a dizzy tizz with an endearing crush on the zany antics of the horrible in every way, yours truly in a cave somewhere, the very unlikely Laden.
"He loves me, he loves me not. A toodle toot".
The Hickster trained for extreme and brutal acts for use against almost everybody and I wonder, yes I do, how exactly that training was conducted and with the use of what equipment? Don’t terrorist groups sometimes like to train with like, dig it, live prisoners? You know, in a kind of dry-run. Unless of course the blood starts spraying everywhere.
Is any of this, I dunno, of any serious ah, consideration for anyone, say in the media? Nah, guess not. How zany and madcap!
According to Dave's cretinous letters, the allegedly happy little master plan was merely to bring down Western Civilisation. Uh right, ok, and after lunch?
"Well, contestant number one plans to train with Al Qaeda, make a lot of money and be supported by local Leftards! What a swell! Why you’re the cat’s pyjamas!"
Hicksy or Mohammed Dawood as he was known, [or maybe Dagwood?] detained several years of his rather pointless life along with other nuts. "I bin mistreated!" says Mr Honesty. Balls. It's kind of hard to see Dave and the Muslim Brotherhood et al, as reliable sources of the truth.
Yes, apparently so badly treated, that he put on 20 kilos. Maybe misteatment means no choc mint ice-cream. All this while receiving more benefits and concessions than such men deserve. Better room service than Al Qaeda provide to their prisoners, I imagine.
"Hello, Room Service? Could you send me up a head? I seem to have lost mine. Thanks".
So far, over thirty formerly released G-Bay prisoners have turned up in later fighting. I guess fighting for those principles, eh?
Sadly, since checking out, none have remeberd to give a star rating for Guantanamo. Try getting back from anywhere else in much of the world if you allegedly do something that’s a teensy weensy bit naughty, like training to murder lots of people.
Many an unkind chucklehead peacenik distrusts a strange beast like the military to be just like them, but the armed forces often do get things very right of course. Thus we can all enjoy our fluffy cushioned lives.
Somehow I trust our troops a lot more than the average mission statement at Islamic Militant camp.
"Our Mission, just kill, kill, kill then laugh and love again".
It’s entirely correct to care about any wrongful detaining of the innocent. Violations for no purpose in a position of extreme responsibility is a serious crime. Sorry, but there's no sense of proportion in the largely ideologically driven reporting, regards the percentage of offences committed by a very small number of personel. These crimes against miltary law are punished as policy. For example, there is no armed forces policy of doing anything to anyone, anywhere and at anytime across the world, all to achieve a global Islamaic Caliphate.
Dig this. I agree with interrogation and waterboarding of people like Khalidi. I've not found a convincing argument so far, to let such mass killers just sit around smoking and ignoring polite questions at their leisure.
A classic Leftard tactic is the gross and absurd lies that Guantanamo is some kind of set piece for the most evil prisons in the world. I’m glad I don’t have the job.
"Steely jawed Marines wanted for Maitre d’ and restraint duties at the charming but hostile, Guantanamo by the Bay. This position can involve sudden attack at any time, insane ingratitude for every decency and endless abuse and threats by our fanatical guests. Uniform supplied".
Even military critics should admit but won't, that the army takes at the very base level, the strict adherence to rules very seriously. Re, the smooth running of said beasty. The military and our often wavering authorities are dealing with a mortal and determined enemy, that clearly and repeatedly speaks of how for them, Western law and due process are merely easily used tactical advantages.
Guantanamo Bay is the only "Hell on Earth" that has regular dental and medical appointments, an extensive menu including Halal, vegetarian, Italian and Chinese etc, and where bookings are not essential. But I hear there’s a bit of a rush for the Chef’s Special after Ramadan.
The prisoners receive clean sheets and clothing daily, courtesy of the Yankee Infidel Laundry and Mosque Service.
Sure, not the same as Mohammads Koranic Catering: "We cater for any anti-Western rants and even group beheadings. All cutlery is supplied".
The G has fully functioning modern plumbing, air conditioning, is supplied wih ample reading material, has regular visits from Imams and a ready supply of Korans wrapped in plastic cover[!]. This is so that when they are handed to Muslims by gloved guards, the Holy Book of the religion of peace or else, is unsoiled by the hands of the filthy all volunteer Infidels.
I kid you not.
The support for David the Hick is unfortunately so deluded, bankrupt, misplaced and perverse that it doesn’t exist on any rational level at all, at least not in this dimension. And allegedly there's country wide and mass support! Whether it’s two thousand or two million suicidal moonbats, so what? It ain't a good thing that any policy should ever be influenced by such unhinged and irresponsible boobs.
"Davo for Minister of Understanding, Peace and Love, Now!"
Hickey’s supporters, the Rockettes Launcher Chorus Line, come over like a cross between the fluffy minded fund raisers of a parish cake stand and the most venal and disgusting of Marxist infiltrators.
And all for Dave, the non-innocent protĂ©gĂ©’ of mass murdering head slicing arsonists, bomb makers, bogus charity thieves, rapists and uber-perverts. If this is Liberalism today, are the crazy pills that come with it available on Medicare?
Oh, that’s right. Hick's didn’t actually "do" anything. He just trained for it. That’s alright then. Just dandy. What a laugh. What a prankster! When is Herr Hicks next available to visit my son’s kindergarten? The kids would love it! ‘
"Ok children, this is called ‘plas-tic ex-plo-sive’ and this is a ‘but-chers knife’. Now all repeat after me, Allah Akbar! Excellent".
And the rocket launcher photo is a er, "prank?" Sure it is. You don’t know how many seaside and holiday snaps I have of my Mother holding a sub-machine gun, a flame thrower and other assorted ordinance she just "borrowed".
"Look! There’s one of Aunty Doris with a Glock pistol. Hmm. I don’t think I got the light right in that one. Too much exposure. And the screaming threw me off".
My wife and family are all Japanese. In Japan, if there was an unlikely Hicksy-like situation there, the first and automatic reaction would be shame, embarrassment, profound apology, an acute urge to hide away and avoid any media spotlight at all followed by a subsequent suicide. Sadly, not here, eh?
Instead we have the creepy and startling spectacle of Dave’s not too bright hypocrite and tragic, miserable, dreary old Dad, carrying on the family’s tradition of deep, perceptive analysis by endlessly parading around the world as a Leftist show pony, a fantasy Dave. Dave the misunderstood and cheated victim of an unkind government. Dave, supported by the asshats of the Left and their handy fancy dress of moral turpitude as moral outrage.
Gee, I wonder where Dave got his sense of decency, responsibility and his sharp sense of right and wrong from exactly? Not from me, that’s for sure. I did though, have the strength of character to pass up that Adult Education short course on 'Improvised Explosive Devises in Urban Areas’.
The last time I saw The Great Escape and Stalag 17, I seem to remember that under the Geneva Convention, you are only required to supply your name, rank and serial number. What are Davo’s again? When did he enlist? What rank did he obtain again? Head Cutter, First Class? And at what point was he going to reject his freely adopted and monstrous freak ideology?
Perhaps he was planning to after cheering at the 9/11 collapse? Nope, seems only when he was intercepted on his merry and irresponsible lark through radicalism.
"Gee, almost 3000 people of all ages, nationalities and religions murdered. Maybe that’s a little wrong, a bit out there. Hmm? No, guess not. Hooray for Al Qaeda then!" Dave ponders...
This is part of why Islamo-Fascism Inc, it’s affiliates, franchisees and useful idiots in the free West, can laugh at the flaccid, confused and complicated Western non-response, because the hideous boys and girls of Islam unlike us, are a little more determined and clear minded in who they are, what they believe in and what their ultimate goals are.
The West and those who get media time and the majority of the opportunities of influence appear not to be aware of their own cultural suicide. Most folks seem incurious, unaware, unfocused and oh so very not serious about their own survival. It’s all a big recent joke and apparently without a nightmarish 1300 year history that you don’t need to research in the slightest.
The Government and the public are largely wilfully clueless, which is a Hell of a problem. Our Government, unlike us daffy private citizens, must always conduct their responsibilities within an unkind global reality.
After decades of blind ignorance and denial, it seems like many want to make it more decades of blind ignorance and denial. Some authorities are kind of getting hip to the millions of Muslims who want to murder us all. Kind of. Er, no. And what a drag it is that our very real enemy just won’t play by the rules. The cads!
And it's balls that Hicks should have been charged sooner. This is not the nature of asymetrical and atomised terror.
Consider the limits of our bloated, lumpy Governments and MSM are to truth and competence, as the disingenuous freak duo of Dave and his shameless Father are, to the great musical song writing teams of Broadway.
"My boy Dave! I don't give a hang what he does, as long as he does what he likes!"
Many of the folks in positions of power and influence, and that we should apparently rely on, are incapable of seeing almost anything clearly. It's mass myopia, bub.
"My illusions and myths are of real value and I’m willing for YOU to pay any price for them!"
Gentle reader, you know that the bad, sad and mediocre things said about the Hicks Baby are true, and that the claims made in support of him and the outrageous motives attributed to the alleged tormenters of Dave the martyr are easily researched and revealed junk. Anyone who is cheering for geek misfits like Dave, can keep away from my children.
Apparently for the Dave Hicks Appeciation Society, there are no other worthy causes that involve innocents incarcerated in real Hell holes in the world. In Iran, try Evin Prison in Iran, the Towhid, Prison 59, Gohardasht or Prison 209 just for starters.
This is where there really is a policy of real torture and death of the burning, flaying, gang rape, flaying, breaking, ripping out, whipping with electric cables, hanging, strangling, and plucking of eyes, beheading, shooting and dumping in the street of the resulting mutilated dead body's kind.
This involves male and females from infants, children, teenagers and the very old. President Armadinnerjacket has murdered over 4,000 gay people, many of theme minors, often by hanging from construction cranes in the street. The local kids are encouraged and forced to watch.
And there are hundreds of places like this around the world from Syria, to Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Zimbabwe, the Congo and many wonderful parts of Africa, North Korea, South East Asia, Pakistan etc, etc, etc. Clearly none are worthy enough to get the attention and avert the gaze of activists from the brilliant white light, emanating from the ascendance of the ass of Saint Hicks.
In much of the world where there's real oppression, the authorities there can rest assured, that there will be little chance of any deliverance for their citizens by the fatuous, vocal masses of the fashionable spineless activists of the West, resplendent in their inverted, golden stupor. Overcooked, eh?
The taking on of worthwhile causes by faux rebels would be very different to the phony fight with often flaccid, wooden and easily outmanoeuvered Democratic Western Governments. In the almost context and depth free MSM, public opinion and one trick protest groups, it would require courage, self-reflection and actual risk.
Try standing on a street corner in Tehran with a protest placard. Now that would show absolute sincerity.

I can’t laugh, don’t ask me.

Derek: "You know that Jane Fonda, Pete?"
Clive: "Dud, do you mean the treasonous mattress athlete, serial Leftard loon, venal, monstrously spoiled neurotic narcissist, multi millionairess Hollywood decadent and thus a media and public darling?"
Derek: "That's our Hanoi Jane, Pete!"
Clive: "Never fucking heard of her, Dud".
My Mother was sadly born without arms…or legs, or a body. I came home once, and once was enough, and found her in the garden relaxing amongst the tomatoes, wearing a nice propeller hat. I said "It’s great to see you getting around, Ma. How about those Redsox?"
She answered quick as a flash "You know I can't wear 'em in my bleeding condition!"
"One's real life is often the life that one does not lead".
Oscar Wilde.
In one of my many hideous employs, I was once trying to clean around an obese woman who looked a lot like General Burchalter from Hogan’s Heroes, except not as feminine. Her vast legs were like two full hog sides and I had to get between them as they stuck out horizontally on the ‘Whatever happened to Gilbert Grape? Extendo Chair’.
As I was crouching into her raised groin while attempting to vacuum up the assorted food scraps and broken dentures covered in Statue of Liberty green, she said to me, “Can you get in there and suck it all up?”
“Sure, but if I don’t return by lunch, send in an obstetrician”.
If your life is as dull and drab as mine, there are several things you may not have to concern yourself too much about running into on a regular or daily basis. Such as being challenged by lots of dynamic individuals with a great sense of humour, terrific general knowledge, that are interested and curious about the world around them, that are witty, irreverent, serious when required and well, damn inspiring to be around.
No pressure of looking forward to folks having the grasp or awareness of Logical Fallacy’s, how the MSM works, or that read, are funky, who criticise any position of any side because it’s incorrect and so on, and all from a core of rational understanding. Yep, it's a carefree lifestyle from where I float.
“I wish I’d listened to what my Mother told me…”
“Why? What did she say?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t listen!”
It doesn’t mean they’re not otherwise good people, and sometimes they ain't, but it can seem that the folks one sometimes interact with can make ya feel like you're walking underwater, in a bad dream, maybe taken an overdose of mundane pills, or are in some alternate world of tedium. Hey, such good people, they're killing me. Seems competence and functioning at all is because thank God, we have a specialty. Maybe it appears this way because I’ve lost my mind, don't get around much or I’m a snobby old bastard. What the Hell do I know, and get off my damn lawn!
Quite frankly, I blame myself for getting out of bed, because that's when all the trouble begins.
"You are not superior just because you see the world in an odious light". Vicomte de Chateaubriand.
Now, I tested the possibility of insanity by climbing out of the ice box and watching what passes for news on the generally pathetic and useless Oz MSM. I then checked their facts via the Net and print, and yep, it’s still crap. So, my depth of analysis still seems to be there. But just to double check I gave my toe a good whack with a vitamiser. I knew it would hurt, and loh and behold, it did. So an understanding of cause and effect seems pretty compus. Hey, I’m no snobby old bastard fella, or I wouldn’t have married my wife.
My crazy way out conclusion is that something is wrong and many people have been entirely cheated by either their education, the MSM, the dominant PC Leftoid Liberal ethos, their peers, our cultural expectations and the general mind set of the public itself or all the previous. Gotta be. Maybe I'm just unlucky.
But shouldn't people be vastly more aware, educated and clear thinking with the incredible level of info that's now available and the absurd length of time we spend at school, doing er, something? Yep, somethings wrong, sports.
"Everyone rises to their level of incompetence".
Laurence J. Peter.
How could so many be so misinformed for so long about virtually every topic, and sometimes even their specialty? How? Why are there so many Leftards? Is it just the coincidence of my experience, admittedly meagre as it is? If I deviate from small talk, generally I regret it, because what do I get out of it?
Sure, there’s the passing excitement of the tar and feathers and burning torches of the angry mobs, but definitely not a lot of laughs unless I make ‘em.
Gee, ya can’t even talk about the weather sometimes, without people actually being upset about er, the rain, the heat, the wind and the mild weather we're having etc. Hey, don’t worry. According to Muslims it’s all Islamic rain anyway. There is none of ya nasty Judeo Christian Heavenly rain. It’s a downpour of diversity and inclusion that doesn’t ever include and diversify to er, you and I! The weather, eh? And what’s the government doing about it?
This my nimble friends, is what happens when one becomes Conservative Libertarian while ‘Fisking’ away at everything. My wife says “Just don’t piss people off!” This can mean Ultra Diplomacy, attack of the tact, or the old neutral agreeing with anything they say while steering the conversation always to the innocuous, no matter what.
"There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry".
Martin Gardner.
“Crystals have special powers, eh? Send me a dozen!”
“Americans are morons, eh? Gee, you mean the same Americans that produce more scientific papers than the whole world combined? Or the ones that either eradicated many of the major diseases of the world, have the cure or will develop them eventually? Fantastic!”
Curiously, a common response to humour is that it just doesn’t register, is taken literally, it puzzles or is only defined as sarcastic by those totally lacking in humour that have said little worth hearing in their entire lives. Not humorous, light hearted, witty, irreverent, fun, abstract, a great line or a vital part of what makes life worth living. Nope, a laugh is drag for some. Or a drag is a laugh. Hence German Circus clowns.
While it's not a crime, I can find the humourless, even though I prefer not to find them at all, at best painfully dull, oddly functional and maybe not that pressing to know, or at worst, plain dangerous. Think screaming Islamist, a Hitler speech or a Sean Penn interview.
Oh yes, everyday can be another adventure in inspiration.
“Oh, you bought some shoes and a fan belt for your sedan? It’s blue you say? Well, I never. Oh, it was $7.95 and not $12.95! I didn’t see that coming! What a kicker! And you don’t like certain kinds of cheese, eh? Pray tell me more".
“And then she said, and he said, and did I see it on TV last night! The thing with the guy and he did that thing and then he said, and my friend called me and I got so drunk and …yeah, Bush is worse than Hitler and anyway, I reckon everything is fu…”
"Hey, just ignore me. I’m just putting a rope over this beam. Could you kick the chair away for me after the count of three? Thanks”.
I’m sorry kid, but I just don’t believe in, care about or am even microscopically interested in a lot of things that many do, say, think or believe are important, or I may have once, at least when I still had acne.
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see".Arthur Schopenhauer.
And man, sadly, folks say the saddest things. Er, have ya ever, ever thought about doing research on something “you heard” instead of just hearing it? It does tend to eliminate the guesswork. Give it a try just once! Could work.
Yeah, Michael Moore doesn’t care about you or any objective truth. Islam’s is not a religion of peace. Al Gore is neither genuine nor serious. The Left have no Quality Control whatsoever. Not even a little. The major political parties in the US, UK and Oz have not come up with a new leader worth a Churchillian damn and maybe never will. No sirree, Jim. Global Warming is not an observable fact.
The MSM is the fickle friend of the elites and celebrities and the enemy of the people. Ah, yes it is.
Here’s a fact. All baloney can be analysed, dismantled, exposed, understood and discredited via the scientific method, Logical Fallacy, Cognitive Bias, Ockham’s Razor, rational thought and other proven ‘Fisking’ methods.
Sadly, even a Himalaya of facts are irrelevant to someone who believes in anything but the facts. Your intelligence is no match for their ignorance, reinforced with regular updates via the permanent media platform of their Gurus. I saw a great line from a commenter on Hot air dot com:
"Global Warming = Global Socialism".
I think it says it all, as there’s no such thing as a stopping point with Left, Lib or Radical ideology. They're NEVER satisfied.
"Must ruin & control...one...more...thing or individual".
And I believe they have, and sports, this is where we now are. For many, there’s a bizarre disconnect between reality, what we should all be grateful for and what empirically makes our economy and culture actually work so well, and then there’s the junk that many do so believe.
It seems that a professed intent now often trumps any actuality.
"One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't".George Bernard Shaw.
Maybe. The worst part is, the thing that gives me the cold sweats, a horrible creeping nausea and that can wake me at 3:AM, in a re-enactment of a scene from the film ‘Wake in Fright’, except set in the inner city, is that damn it, I’ve spent quite a bit of my own life being just like ‘em.

The World of Penny Wong.

Penny Wong, the Australian Labour Government's Minister for the Environment and Water, faces off UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, at the Bali Climate Change Conference. Note Ban is carrying a ceremonial baseball bat.
There’s an old book called ‘The World of Suzie Wong’ that was made into a film in 1961, starring William Holden as an improbable artist and the delicious Nancy Kwan as a prostitute called well, Suzie Wong. I liked both the book and the film, being both a Bill Holden, Nancy Kwan fan and a nostalgic cheese aficionado. Suzie is the classic Asian doll, reluctant mattress athlete with a corny heart a' gold and big dreams, plus a secret baby looked after by her Amah.
"You're pregnant! Amah!"
Suzie lived in an unstable and exploitive environment filled with threats and swirling demons both real and imagined. In short, she lived in a snake pit and believed in a lot of superstitious drivel, bein’ Chinese an’ all. I wonder how the bilge of Feng Shui works with the direction of sexual positions?
“No! Head must face wash basin or very bad luck for Auntie’s psoriasis!”
Now there’s a funny contradiction for believers in superstitions, magic, fate, general dark past voodoo, the New Age Return of the Son of the Middle Ages piffle, and other howl at the moon contortionism. The practitioners simultaneously believe that there are malevolent and imaginary forces at work beyond their understanding, while oddly believing they can also assuage or control these booger beings by repetitive, convoluted and pointless behaviour.
I’d never call Penny Wong a simple minded tart. Suzie Wong was highly pragmatic and pretty smart in her own way. While Suzie probably did swallow the glow from warm balls, she was not stupid and would never have swallowed completely the populist and total junk of Global Warming. Leave that to 17 year old WTO arsonist/vandals and dull, mediocre and modishly Left politicians.
By her own choice, Wong has put herself in the powerful position of a major government Minister. And she’s 100% into the swingin', money churnin' bogus Climate Change scene in Bali this week. She’s entirely responsible for this portfolio but sadly, the main topic under intense focus is, er, rubbish.
It’s an ironic thing that the current environment is about the environment, but not the actual one as it is, but an imaginary and entirely predictive one, filled with twisting malevolent monsters of the elements, all just around the corner they say. And any weather extremis, which is a wholly natural part of the world’s weather system, is now seen with wide eyes, as some kind of wild portent. Bollocks.
Global Warming causes both floods and droughts in Oz, apparently. Nothing can now happen without being blamed on GW or GB. George Bush, with an IQ of 125 is apparently unintelligent, yet he can control the weather! The Right manipulates the world again! Er, no.
What is merely an oppressive and orthodoxy driven movement, has evolved almost entirely due to the momentum given it by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Soviet Communism. It’s grown due to the vampiric desire of Left and Radical ideology fanatics to find legitimacy via this relatively new and profoundly phony environmental angle. It fits perfectly any activists bloated self righteousness. And it’s about the money and status available to those who jump on the latest and maybe greatest, in a long line of gravy trains.
Ah, weather and climate experts…the same people who can’t always get tomorrows weather right, can now apparently predict not just next weeks conditions, but what the weather will be like in 10, 20 or even a 100 years time. Sure they can. Plus folks, they can even control it! Er, riiight. The plans of mice and weathermen.
So if GW is already a happenin’, what should the temperature be right now? Hotter or cooler, and by how many degrees? Nobody knows because there is exactly zero reliable measurement in any of it.
Every few weeks there's another dire warning in the news, until one reads the source of the latest brass sounds of doom, and it’s nearly always the same few sources. The IPCC or similiar group, or a regularly sighted professional celebrity environmentalist and er, maybe another Al Gore brainwave or something else stupid via his vast and unquestioning fan club.
The IPCC is a highly political body of 2,000 scientists out of the millions worldwide. There are more than a few who have asked for their names to be removed from said body due to its bending of science to politics.
Hey, with the Sun due to expand into a vast fiery ball that will vaporise earth, and we may only have a 3 to 6 billion year window, I’d like to know what the government is doing about it.
The GW mass hypnosis is like astrology. You just gotta believe man, and it’s in the newspapers everyday! And they don’t really mention that astrology is unfounded gibberish. It’s presented the same as GW is; we all assume and agree that hey, it’s all true. No money back guarantees with either of these bunko artist scams though, eh? GW will slowly fade over the years as nothing happens and the money eventually dries up.
Paul Erlich never did do a follow up to his fraudulent fortune telling book of 1968, “The Population Bomb”. So, it’s like a scene from Soylent Green at your apartment block, huh? Guess not. No follow up to the discredited ‘Silent Spring’ book of 1961 either. Its incompetence meant the banning of DDT, the resulting return of malaria and the deaths of perhaps 60 million people. No apology, retraction and no change of policy.
This year a Ugandan Government Minister pleaded with the world to lift the ban on DDT to save his people. Good luck mate, with the Western Bastards of Unrepentent Moral Vanity and their massive free floating ego's.
No, just more of the same with ‘The Return of The Son of Green Eco Death Imperialism’ courtesy of the same old Left with new Climate Change clothes, this time using full tilt nutso Nazi style earth worship. Many activists are very eager to cull the human population literally, and have produced several hideous best sellers on how the earth would be better off without any people on it, and how to do it. The following is from Mark Steyn:
"Oxford University Press has published a book by Professor David Benatar of the University of Cape Town called Better Never To Have Been: The Harm Of Coming Into Existence. The author "argues for the 'anti-natal' view — that it is always wrong to have children…
Anti-natalism also implies that it would be better if humanity became extinct." As does Alan Weisman's The World Without Us — which Publishers Weekly hails as "an enthralling tour of the world… anticipating, often poetically, what a planet without us would be like." It's a good thing it "anticipates" it poetically, because, once it happens, there will be no more poetry.
Lest you think the above are "extremists," consider how deeply invested the "mainstream" is in a total fiction. At the recent climate jamboree in Bali, the Reverend Al Gore told the assembled faithful: "My own country the United States is principally responsible for obstructing progress here." Really? The American Thinker's website ran the numbers. In the seven years between the signing of Kyoto in 1997 and 2004, here's what happened:
• Emissions worldwide increased 18.0%.
• Emissions from countries that signed the treaty increased 21.1%.
• Emissions from non-signers increased 10.0%.
• Emissions from the U.S. increased 6.6%.
It's hard not to conclude a form of mental illness has gripped the world's elites. If you're one of that dwindling band of westerners who'll be celebrating the birth of a child, "homeless" or otherwise, next week, make the most of it. A year or two on, and the eco-professors will propose banning nativity scenes because they set a bad example".
Also see Andrew Bolt in 'The Herald Sun' for Wednesday 19 December, with his excellent collection of even more local Aussie Enviro Nihilist Loons.
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22945744-5000117,00.html
P.J.O'Rourke said that the drivel of the standard phrase, "There are too many people!" basically boils down to, "Too many of you, just enough of me!"
These Enviro Freaks are mad and anti human earth worshippers, that are speeding towards their idiot 'Super Dream' of a nihilist paradise, sans any actual nihilists. They're beyond Fascism really, and into a Greens kind of Uber Year Zero. They hate people for the simple reason that real people spoil an eco-activists sense of purity in ideology.
They can’t see the world for the trees.
These are our leaders who gather with the Zero Quality Control Freak Circus of the UN. The UN, will fine us millions if we overstep our carbon emissions apparently. No fines for the endless crimes of much of the disgusting dysfunctional Narco-gangster states, Islamist sand dunes, Totalitarian criminal implosions, terrorist exporting piles, child molesting Diplomat suppliers and Jew hating sewers that make up a large proportion of the UN.
Yep, UNdemocratic, UNintelligent, UNrepresentative, UNimportant, UNtrustworthy, UNproductive, UNrealistic, UNcaring, UNaccountable, UNqualified and UNbearable. I’ve always felt that there is a first and last letter missing. What about Corrupt Useless Nasty Trash?
How do you improve the UN? Cut off the top ten floors.
But then, it makes no sense, because the female reproductive Wurlitzer makes perfect, productive and natural sense, and it's self supported. And Suzie Wong had one. In the end she was a good person with actual religious beliefs who cared about a real and empirical future. She married William Holden, giving her baby a Father and left the badlands of Hong Kong’s Wan Chai district. Good old Suzie.
Sports, with the mainstreaming of enviro-extremism, the badlands have come to us, disguised as a return to the Garden of Eden, but without God so it seems. Now why would that be?
Cut and paste these old relevent posts of mine and a great one from Brookes News on how economics and population actually work together. I like Brookes News more and more and of course, the rest of the Mark Steyn piece.

The Great Bloat of St. Ives.

The only head that can be seen from space.
People still speak today about The Great Bloat of St. Ives. Sadly, I am that person, as no one had ever heard of The Great Bloat of St. Ives, until now. Have you heard of The Bloat of St. Ives? I believe you have.
Oh, The Great Bloat of St. Ives is a wondrous thing, a wondrous thing to behold, is The Great Bloat of St. Ives. People come from far and wide to admire its width and pay homage to The Great Bloat of St. Ives. "Oh, show us the way, Great Bloat of St. Ives!" they implore, and the Great Bloat obliges like clockwork, expanding itself to enormous proportions until it reaches a full and majestic bloatedness. Hence the name, The Great Bloat of St. Ives.
Excuse me, but have you heard of The Great Bloat of St.Ives?
The Great Bloat of St. Ives has said many wise and profound things. If The Great Bloat of St. Ives is about anything, wisdom and profound things are what The Great Bloat of St. Ives will be all about. For example, The Great Bloat of St. Ives has said that, “one word sums up probably the responsibility of any Vice President, and that one word is 'to be prepared”.
Yes, if you want to be ready for anything, anything at all, being prepared is one thing I always recommend, even to the deaf and blind. Be prepared, I say, be prepared!
Hence, “we are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur”.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives is a wondrous source of pure gold, a source of pure gold is he. If you can’t get pure gold from The Great Bloat of St. Ives, I can’t help you. Nay, you are beyond helping. I cannot reach you no matter how much reaching I may do. Such as the following, which is something I live by religiously.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: “It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it”. And they are. I can feel them doing it now, even through the linoleum.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "For NASA, space is still a high priority”.
Space is something that The Great Bloat of St.Ives is determined to fill.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "It's time for the human race to enter the solar system”. I myself have taken serious steps to enter the solar system by leaving my lounge room to go to the local shop and get another pack of Pall Malls. It’s a small step for a Mars Bar but I’ll have a packet of crisps too, thankyou.
Again, I can put my hand on my heart and say as The Great Bloat of St. Ives has said, "Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children”.
Aah, yes, a wondrous thing is an education. I myself am the product of one.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century”. Oh yes, a nasty business was your Hitler. Do you know that Hitler invented Auto Barn?
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "We're all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made”.
I myself am only capable of mistakes. When I have foolishly done something that makes any practical sense whatsoever, quick as a flash, I cover it up with something stupid, leaving no one the wiser.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy, but that could change”. Irreversible we are indeed. No matter how many times I have stood in my front garden covered in soup imploring to the Heavens, ‘Reverse! Reverse!’ not once have I been able to return to last Tuesday.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things”. Indeed it does. I was saying to my wife Doris only last Tuesday, I think I’ve reversed, Doris. Every Tuesday Doris says to me ‘you say that every Tuesday. You must be reversing again, dear’.
"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future”. Sadly, I have never had the privilege of making any good judgements as I can never get the right kind of timber. I’m afraid of using chipboard, fear it I do, as it expands in the rain and we don’t have a ceiling.
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "The future will be better tomorrow”.
Doris: "What day is it?"
Colonel Neville: "It’s Tuesday. Everyday it’s Tuesday, especially on Thursdays. In fact, it’s been Tuesday all week. Wednesday is not until Monday. And Saturday was last Monday. Friday has been postponed due to a lack of interest and they’re replaying Sunday".
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world”.
Doris: "Are you Mr Barnes?"
Colonel Neville: "Yes I am. I’m Mr Barnes as I’ve been all my life, both man and boy".
Doris: "Is there any lettuce? Don’t threaten me with your salad!"
Colonel Neville: "Not with my legs".
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "We have a firm commitment to NATO; we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe”.
Doris: "When does this film end?"
Colonel Neville: "At the beginning, around July".
Doris: "I don’t like the people in it!"
Colonel Neville: "Who does? They’re all actors".
Doris: "Well, when does it start?"
Colonel Neville: "It never does, I’m afraid".
Doris: "But it’s half way through!"
Colonel Neville: "See what I mean".
Doris: "You can’t keep me here like a caged lion!"
Colonel Neville: "Hence the fleas".
Doris: "What day is it?"
The Great Bloat of St. Ives: "I stand by all the misstatements that I've made”.
Have you heard about The Great Bloat of St. Ives? So wondrous is he. I believe you may have...

Celebrity Suicide and Hollywood Homicide: The best of both worlds.

When the Dalai Lama takes a much needed break from his world tour, performing readings of his endless supply of demotivation cliches, he likes nothing better than doing his famous impression of Christopher Hitchens.
“The widely and lazily held belief that "Oriental" religion is different from other faiths: less dogmatic, more contemplative, more ... transcendental. This blissful, thoughtless exceptionalism has been conveyed to the West through a succession of mediums and narratives, ‘Lost Horizon’ and ‘Seven Years in Tibet’…
China's foul conduct… combined with a Hollywood cult that almost exceeds the power of Scientology, has fused with weightless Maharishi and Bhagwan-type babble to create an image of an idealized Tibet and of a saintly God-king”. Christopher Hitchens.
Peter Cook once joked with Dudley Moore about a TV show called Celebrity Suicide where various celebrities came on the show and committed suicide. I was reminded of this when I saw a TV ad for an awful movie called 'Hollywood Homicide', starring everyone’s favourite incredibly wealthy sourpuss and Dalai Lama sychophant, Harrison 'Chuckles' Ford.
You know the Dalai Lama, the well known spouter of desk calendar wisdom and former CIA payroll receiver up until 1974. Hey, if you’re a Buddhist, appear on Celebrity Suicide, and you’ll simply come back albeit in a suitably ‘Bad Karma’ form. The DL believes that “Of course!” children who are born crippled or sick, are being punished for sins in a previous life. Ok…is that the time already?
Hey, the Dal is cool with oppressing gays and ipso facto, any uncritical licker of the Chosen Bowling Ball One is by default a supporter too, because that was the way of old Tibet and the compassionate philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism. So many precious memories.
”Yesterday, when I burnt dung…”
The reason Hollywood loves Buddhism is because it requires zero commitment and no responsibility, beyond not killing houseflies. Er, apparently Barbra Streisand fans are ok to knock off though. The other thing you must do as a Western Buddhist, is to walk around all pious and removed from reality because basically, you are and you don’t give a damn. Just swan around like some kinda Spock meets Richard ‘I imagine I have something to say’ Gere.
Throw in occasional vague piffle and alleged observations to the plebes like “You’re holding onto your anger and you value material things”.
Yeah, like food, shelter, medicine, clothes, the power grid, dialysis machines and enormous Hollywood actor’s fees.
“The entire Western mass media is uncritically at the service of a mere mortal who, at the very least, proclaims the utter nonsense of reincarnation and who affirms the sinister if not indeed crazy belief that death is but a stage in a grand cycle of what appears to be futility and subjection”.
Christopher Hitchens.
All the Tibetan Government in exile is made up entirely of Q-Balls family. All of it. What has the Lama baby ever achieved apart from receiving untold millions in donations and from the CIA? Apart from being held up by a horde of clueless Hollywood hypocrites, the modish, Left and teen of mind, as a great and wise jelly baby? He’s not kids. Nothing he’s ever said is worth much of a damn and probably not more than any schmaltzy Hallmark card.
Buddhism is filled with great philosophical points, yes it is. Though when applied more fully, they do tend to result in uninvolved and absurdly useless posturing sans backbone, or any central and effectively virile beliefs whatsoever. I’ve known a few ‘Buddhists’ who seem to adopt it out of moral vanity and a sense of superiority. Thus it’s perfectly suited to celebrities. The DL has nothing to say about anything that you can’t really get from any cheesy book of sayings and aphorisms read by a stoner.
The DL in full mediocre flight:
“We have seen that we cannot solve human problems by fighting”.
Have we? Get glasses. Like never? So passivity is always the answer? Every rapist, child molester, Islamist, killer and Dictator can rub their hands in glee. “I face an army of slaves to weakness and nullity. Big deal. I’m ready, anytime”.
Gee, it’s worked out great for Tibet, his advocating of more of this purely intellectual, helpless, spineless, castrated sponge approach? And that’s the great thing about throwing this crap out there; the only effort you’ll ever need to make is merely in the spouting of it. Your work is done. Then it’s continue with more drivelling platitudes, wash your hands of any of the dirty human business of standing for anything and maybe just have a little snooze. To show what you’re made of, do nothing, in fact, you’re doing it now. Bravo, we’ll know who to call in case of a crisis. A vertebrate.
“And you look around at all the jellyfish, and he says floatation is groovy baby. The poor jellyfish ain’t got a bone Lord, in his jelly back”. Jimi Hendrix.
“Problems resulting from differences in opinion must be resolved through the gradual process of dialogue”.
So, it’s just all a matter of opinion then? Nothing is real, good and evil are merely viewpoints and everything is equally valid? Er, no. The speed of light is measurable, a punch to the face will be unpleasant, the earth does revolve around the sun. Yeah, if we can just talk through mass murder, child rape, bank robbery and beating a cat to death...
Surely we can come to some sort of compromise? A real win-win situation! You kill, torture, steal and rape on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and on alternate days, I’ll do nothing about it…how does that sound?
I wouldn’t want to be judgemental an’ all. After all, having any kind of discrimination via rational adult thought is so un-PC, innit? The Dalai Lama can’t tell shit from clay. Indeed, old Thimble Top maybe thinks there is none, for the truly 'Enlightened'.
“Undoubtedly, wars produce victors and losers; but only temporarily. Victory or defeat resulting from wars cannot be long-lasting”.
Er, sure mate. The Third Reich, Imperial Japan and Fascist Italy were just temporarily flattened. They’re coming back any moment. Yeah, nothing as visceral, real, testing or naturally maturing as victory or defeat for you, eh? Well, ya don’t need to really. Gee, DL seems pretty comfortable with either, but then better men and women are bankrolling his and our security with their military service and sacrifice. How gauche and unspiritual... Room service!
So no war could ever be for anything noble, worthwhile, decent or about life and death? Oh, that's right. DL sees this life as a mere pass through of illusion and of no lasting warm blood in the veins consequence, except for that damn Karma thing...
“Secondly, our world has become so interdependent that the defeat of one country must impact the rest of the word, or cause all of us to suffer losses either directly or indirectly”.
Yep, after WWII, the victors and the countries they defeated and liberated were all successful. All those that were oppressed by Soviet Communism were utter failures.
“Today, the world is so small and so interdependent that the concept of war has become anachronistic, an outmoded approach”.
Nope, most dysfunctional states are completely ignorable and that’s why Islamist Hellholes only have their “Look at me!” belligerence as their only modus operandi.
“As a rule, we always talk about reform and changes”. Nope, many states talk only about total control and power, like Islamic dumps, Communist freak outs and Leftoid and Socialist moribunds. And er, gee, when was the last time Left Liberals bothered with the detail of actual economics? Must have missed it. I thought they mostly despised Capitalism, free markets, innovation, wealth creation, smaller government and incentive last time I looked.
“Among the old traditions, there are many aspects that are either ill-suited to our present reality or are counterproductive due to their short-sightedness. These, we have consigned to the dustbin of history. War too should be relegated to the dustbin of history”.
That about sums up old Tibet, Communism, Leftism, Islamism and any other freak ism prisms including Left Liberal celebrity elitism. No, the states, systems that need to be crushed and liberated need to be relegated to the old trash can, mate. Er, also hereditary superstitious God Kings may be on the way out too. But Shiny is cool with his own end too, so to speak. Do not stand to close to this man if you want to survive, folks!
“Unfortunately, although we are in the 21st century, we still have not been able to get rid of the habit of our older generations. I am talking about the belief or confidence that we can solve our problems with arms. It is because of this notion that the world continues to be dogged by all kinds of problems”.
Rubbish. It’s not merely war and guns that are problems; it’s always the same two things that determine if a place sucks, as P.J.O’Rourke has said. Places that do suck don’t have civil government by the rule of law and don’t possess viable, functionally effective economic systems. It’s as simple as that. Places that don’t suck have both these things. Then Dally old sport, you can keep your Kung Fool riffs for fortune cookies.
“But what can we do?…people in positions of power, or those who are responsible, will find safe places; they will escape the consequent hardship. They will find safety for themselves, one way or the other. But what about the poor people, the defenceless people, the children, the old and infirm. They are the ones who will have to bear the brunt of devastation….I don't know whether our prayers will be of any practical help. But this is all we can do for the moment”.
And there you have the full blown useless, hare brained, careless, banal, empty nihilism that old Easter Head seems pretty damn comfortable with. Yep, regards disgustingly abstract ideology, like Leftism, Communism and Death by Lama, the people as usual have to wear it. DL is incapable of spontaneous and effective action in the real world. Shoulda paid more attention in martial arts class, Eggman.
Here is exposed for all to see, the nihilistic and empty fraud of His Hokeyness. The plan is basically, “You lay down and die like a grub or a mouse for my strato cumulus based philosophy. Er, my flight is leaving in half an hour, so toodle-ooh!”
Hey, just like old Tibet…nice. Yeah, but “this is all we can do for the moment...” Damned if I will, you fat and cushioned waste of time. Move over for real men and women who actually defend everything you have, without the syrupy, irresponsible, frivolous flatulence.
The Dalai Lama believes that “Men to men sex and women to women sex is sexual misconduct”. He says masturbation is forbidden. Must find more hobbies. Cone head the Barbered says oral sex is not acceptable, even between a husband and wife, nor is anal sex. Hey, there goes Saturday nights. Having sex during the day is also sexual misconduct. And there goes Sunday mornings.
These are all answers to questions posed by Australian John Saffran on his wonderful show ‘John Saffran vs God’. John who is Jewish, walked around the streets with two guys, one dressed as Pope John II and another dressed as the Dalai Lama. He then asked random, regular people and those who most looked like WTO activist rabble with Central Casting nose rings, woollen hats and Dobie Gillis sidekick beards a series of posers, regards who said what bizarre, random and dated prohibitions.
All the common folk and the radical squares very easily said, “Oh, that’s the Pope!” and were genuinely puzzled when Saffran said er, no. It’s the DL, kids. The same happened with a series of enlightened and modern views, which were the Popes, but everyone imagined they were the DL’s. It’s all image and impression you see. No more substantial than the Tibetan Government in exile or the Dalai Lama’s hair. It turns out that the Pope was not only more swingin', but had the depth and more of a grasp of reality that's in the end, way over any of the opinions of the Great Bald Head in the Clouds.
“The Dalai Lama is never happier than when brooding in a celibate manner on the sex lives of people he has never met.”Sexual misconduct for men and women consists of oral and anal sex," he has repeatedly said in promoting his book on these matters. "Using one's hand, that is sexual misconduct." But, as ever with religious stipulations, there is a nutty escape clause. "To have sexual relations with a prostitute paid by you and not by a third person does not constitute improper behaviour." Christopher Hitchens.
A lot of these ridiculous “spiritual snake oil leaders” all have a creepy case of the Ghandi Horn, don’t they?
Millions of Free Tibet stickers have resulted in millions of Free Tibet stickers. Nothing more. It’s the passive, superficial and give yourself a moral vanity and smug conceited pat on your own back of DL style non insights that’s so appealing to people. His Hopelessness the Daily Lazy Boys actual life, is almost entirely the opposite of his meaningless platitudes that he riffs on endlessly, with other useless alleged Saints such as Nelson ‘I love you Che the child killer and Fidel the obese Dictator and I’ve done exactly zero to help any other African nation’ Mandela.
Yep, the last time the eight ball in a sheet came to Melbourne drivelling about how surprise, surprise, money is not important, especially to him. Well, it ain’t if millions are willing to pick up your tab for a chance at some of that golden light rubbing off. Er, he said this while flying First Class and staying at a Five Star hotel.
People mostly imagine old pre Communist Tibet as some kind of Shangri la, full of equality, a perfect balance of contemplation and a simple lifestyle. In truth, it was a feudal theocracy ruled by the same endless line of priests, monks and royals for hundreds of years. Punishment in the backward sub third world flea heap and slave owning dump for non conformity to said backwardness included beheading, torture, disembowelling, flaying and so on.
Tibetan society was made of only two classes; the priests, monks and royals and everybody else. The monastery of Drepung had 25,000 slaves. Yeah, DL was making some efforts to improve things in his own private Scrooge McDuck comic book adventure.
Yep, the old Communist invasion was about as much fun as er, Communism. Another two million murders to add to the 100 million destroyed so far by the Creature from the Communist Mass Murder Hellhole.
Ironic is it not, how most every supporter of a Free Tibet meaning a feudal theocracy, are usually Left, Liberal or Radical and who naturally support utterly, a non free Cuba and its evil Totalitarian Communist Dictatorship? Where would the Left be without their insane contradictions? The real world and behaving decently, I suppose.
“Shoko Asahara, leader of the Supreme Truth cult in Japan and spreader of sarin nerve gas on the Tokyo subway…donated about $1.2 million to the Dalai Lama and was rewarded for his efforts by several high-level meetings with the divine one”. Christopher Hitchens.

Extra ordinary.

"It isn't that [Left] Liberals are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so". Ronald Reagan.
The number of people that Che 'the child killer' Guevara, the Dalai 'Meet my relations the Tibetan Government' Lama, and Sean 'I love dumb Commie Dictators if they like me' Penn, have made free, is zero. The number of people made free by Ronald 'Soviet Destroyer' Reagan, Pope 'The real deal' John II and Margaret 'last time the UK was successful' Thatcher, is almost one billion.
The number of University students who wear Reagan, Thatcher or the Pope non ironically and with pride on their T-shirts, is about zero. The number of University students who've worn a child killer called Che Guevara on their T-shirts with pride, is perhaps millions.
Last week I did some extra work on ‘The Pacific’, being filmed in Australia and nearby atolls by Steven ‘I think Castro and the Cuban Miracle of Firing Squads for nearly all, is pretty neat and impressive' Spielberg, and Tom Hanks.
Now, as I mentioned to my fellow anonymous drones, myself maybe being one of the most anonymous and droning; "We’re extras and extras are scenery, and no more important than parsley". We’re just barely the side salad, all to give the appearance of a backdrop, back-story and landscape to Tinsel Towns often phony ideas of reality. Just be pleasant and follow instructions. And remember, you never know, but this could really lead to nothing. It's got me where I am today. Prahran.
But hey, the Wardrobe Department really did do a truly great job and the Marines were terrific. The outfits and details were very effective. As one of the very talented and young actors put it, “We did a kinda boot camp out in the semi-jungle, plus real weapons and support training. We’ve been acting like Marines for four months now. It seems natural”. And they were. This means they’d lasted longer at being Marines than many real Marines did in the appalling Hell of the Pacific Theatre.
Their clothes were ragged, beat and filthy. The expressions of exhaustion, surprise and dog faced bewilderment mixed with ‘old head on young shoulders’, was quite authentic. I mean as far as I would know, being a guitar player. Great stuff, and all these young guys could likely go onto bigger things. Bigger than WWII!
Myself, I was dressed like a gangster of some type. I believe someday very soon, I’ll go on to bigger things such as shoe repair. Musician, heel thyself. I would best describe my long hoped for acting career, and my agent would verify this, as non existent, but with a spirit of relentless anonymity. I know that if the other 5,000 anonymous actors ahead of me ever all die suddenly within a single 24 hour period, I’ll be the one that Casting Agencies come crawling to, like the Fascists they are.
Hey, of all the places to have an alleged obsession with being “more real”, Hollywood seems the least likely place to have any grip on any current experience of any of the five dimensions.
When I watch a film, the extras often look like extras. Milling around acting like er, extras, or parsley, doing that 'just started crossing the scene grid walk' thing or they're relegated to 'out of focus'. There’s also the 'two people talking and both nodding their heads at once while gesticulating like speed heads', or just perfunctory live mannequins and so on. Though when extras are good, it’s really noticeable and therefore I don’t notice.
Anyway, I still naively imagine bein’ neo ‘actors’ an’ all, that I’ll meet some interesting, cosmopolitan, bohemian auteur and artists, you know, swingin’ groovers with some spunk, intellect and inner city groove. Nope, never seems to work out that way, exactly. No, we’re decked out as generally forgettable blended in stereotypes for a damn good practical reason and it’s not just type casting. So, whenever I make the fatal mistake of engaging in conversation beyond small talk, I mostly get the same inverted and second hand bilge views I can get anywhere. Must remember; stay microscopic and bland. Let me explain.
"The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind".
H.L Mencken.
So, the scene is we’re welcoming US Marines who’ve just fought on our perhaps unworthy behalf, defending the Western Canon, civilisation, freedom, Australia and Central Casting from the Japanese. So ya gotta be grateful for that, huh? No dice. Seems the current accepted bigotry is always anti-Americanism. As we line up to get little flags to wave, they asked which one do you want, Oz or the USA? The woman in front of me hesitated for a moment as I could see her sadly deluded and somewhat diluted mind clicking over…
“Gee, what a choice! Should I go for the self loathing and hate my own country, or despise America? Hmmm?”
She took the popular and easiest default position available at any dinner party, and said as if she really believed she was making a stand on a profound principle, “I don’t want the American flag!” Big as they say, ‘effing surprise, sweetheart.
So, let me get this right. You hate blacks, Chinese, Italians, Jews and Laplanders, eh? They’re all Americans…Oh, you mean white people like you? So you hate yourself? Or do you hate white Americans as a race and nationality? Hey, so basically you’re a bigot and a racist? Or just an irrational bore or loon? You can go on in this fashion forever, with virtually zero fear of meeting up with a cohesive or coherent or checkable counterpoint. Virtually never happens, Bub.
"There is no nonsense so gross that society will not, at some time, make a doctrine of it and defend it with every weapon of communal stupidity". Robertson Davies.
The only alleged facts that such people seem to have, come straight from the MSM, or their own opinions that are formed by mere chance, or the gossip of their friends, who’ve got their non-facts from the same bleeding sources.
Nope, the problem is sport, they've been indoctrinated with around four decades of Leftoid and PC flop, that when taken to it’s logical end is always the opposite of clear rational thought and any decent behaviour. This is now so unquestioned, unresearched, utterly unaccountable and so repeated in virtually every level of public discourse, that all the rhetorical junk of Leftism is now mainstream.
Logical Fallacy, Cognitive Bias, False Argument and other non thinking is now er, ‘common sense!’ Every lie that’s been thoroughly and empirically ‘Fisked’ and discredited in the blogosphere, in print and online if one cares to look, still remains to these folks pure gold, untouched by a Himalaya of contrary and stark facts.
"Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions, which move with him like flies on a summer day".
Bertrand Russell.
And old Bert should know, having more flies on him than the average nut.
Another dame said she was a film maker. Hey, great, neither am I.
Er, a harmless and affable girl, she did indeed spoil it by showing me that she knew entirely nothing about film or story telling beyond lazy, predictable and entirely useless neo Bohemian opinions. She was confounded why anyone would make "another war film" because it's "been done" and it "only perpetuates war". Er, riight. So ah, WWII was caused by all those WWI films and so on...Yes, she was "into" film, but knew nothing of either the names or work of Sturgess, Ford, Huston, Welles or anyone. Oh, because they're American, even Hitchcock!
"Whats the story in a war film?" she said. Um, life and death, love, courage, sacrifice, loyalty, heroism, bravery, values, survival, triumph, ingenuity, cowardice, fear, hunger, hate, love, time, loss, ordinary people and the awful destructiveness of ideology etc. Ya right, nothing about the human condition and drama story wise, there at all.
Aah, but she was eager to trundle out the old better than Plebeian thou, "I prefer European films, especially French".
Sure ya do. Who doesn't? Apart from almost everybody. Yes, the French make three kinds of films, all about French people. French people in the city, in love and unhappy, not in love and unhappy or plain ridiculous. French people in the country that are unhappy or boring or both. Or French people lost in the jungle.
Another classic. “Were running out of water! We’ll have to recycle it!” Er, ALL water was created several billion years ago. They’ve made none since. All water is recycled. Every molecule has been through millions of systems countless times. Etc. In fact I've got to recycle some now.
There was another guy on the set who still believed Erlich’s book ‘The Population Bomb’ was right. In 1968 Erlich the Population Bum, said that the birthrate of the West and everywhere would explode, and all food stocks would collapse by the 1970’s causing mass starvation etc. Er, no. Gee, what a bummer, man! Western birth rates have mostly collapsed. Food production has more than quadrupled and so on.
Aah, what a surprise. It was just the standard 'sell more books if you drivel alarmist crud'. And 39 years later, no follow up correction or apology as usual, but he sold over 30 million books.
But then the guy that still unbelievably believed this shite, had three inches of nose hair and matching owley eyebrows and really still believed he looked great. Such judgement is to put it mildly, unreliable and based on a dweeb’s very foggy sense of self awareness in direct proportion to his very clear for all to see, super spazziness. He also thinks Climate Change is right on the money. Hey, why not put your life savings into such a sure thing? Al Gore has. Oh, that’s into his large slice a pie of his carbon credits company…
“I’d trust Saddam before I trusted Bush!” she said. Riight. Was it Saddam's forty years of mass murdering children or the rape of twelve year old girls by his two psychopathic sons that won your trust? People who think there is no difference between a President of a free Democracy and a life long Totalitarian Dictator deserve almost nothing. Nothing.
"The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking. John Kenneth Galbraith".
This is the deal sports, I’ve changed my stripes. I'll try to never, ever take any of these mediocrities and babbling sheep seriously. They deserve nothing but being completely ignored and dismissed or absolute ridicule and humiliation of the Peter Cook variety, taken to the 9th degree. When I see how pervasive and accepted these ultimately cultural and security suicide views are, it can be truly daunting and a little bit sickening.
It’s not just an occasional passing dullard or snooty Uni twerp, it's almost everywhere; it’s the local corner store guy, my son’s teacher, a major politician, much of the MSM and so on.
“George Bush is a moron!” And everyone who says this is a genius, right? Yes, they should be President and run everything and then it’ll all be AOK. Er, no. George Bush is a fully qualified jet pilot. George Bush has an IQ of 125. They tend to want to know these things at Yale and Harvard. He’s just inarticulate like er, many of his critics who have never spoken publicly in front of the world. He graduated with a fairly common C average from both Yale and Harvard. Al Gore failed and was an average C, D and F student, failing at the very subjects he’s now lecturing the world about.
"He was one of those men who think that the world can be saved by writing a pamphlet". Benjamin Disraeli.
There is nothing that Al would not say or do to advance his position and income. After all, it’s trade up time for his Gulf Stream jet, that unlike George the idiot, Gore can’t fly, even when there’s 112 commercial flights available to where Big Al’s going.
Al doesn’t need to drive his chauffeured Limousine either. George drives himself around his ranch and even into town apparently, followed by Secret Service men. SS men! Proof for the Left that “BushIsHitler!”
And yet, in the next breath, they always say how George has vast secret plans and is in cahoots with the Saudis, the Jews and the Freemasons. But somehow this moron has managed to keep this all hidden until Michael Moore exposed it. A grossly overweight millionaire Machiavelli who admits he’ll do anything to make his docos sell, and whose tight with Hollywood decadents is not my idea of er, objective and deeply moral Quality Control.
Oh, so George is just enough of ‘not a moron’ to pull off a conspiracy that would have to be so vast, that not even a battalion of Bond movie Masterminds of the Blofeldt variety could manage it. Yet, the “idiot” cowboy can? So, the moral gymnastics required for such High School level drool is no problem for these folks. It’s all just one subject change, reducto ad absurdum and contradiction or logical impossibility after another.
The truth is that George Bush is an ordinary man doing his best in an awesomely difficult situation. The true reason people get so shrill in their unhinged hatred for George, is that they don't want to face the harsher reality of Islamism, real life in general and so on. So one must simply and relentlessly make out GB to be some kind of absurdly cartoonish monster to stay focused on. Anything but look away and into the abyss of Global Islamism, or our own failings and limitaions.
Anything is possible in such a mind such as it is, as long as it serves the mental illness of Leftism. Leftism is constantly ill at ease and never really stops at any point in the present for long. Left 'thinking' is usually speeding ahead to the next good work of moral vanity and innate failure. It doesn’t matter that say, welfare, bigger government or collapsing birth rates are unsustainable. There’s always another destructive self defeating demand, rule and constraint to force onto ‘the people’ waiting in a golden tableau up there, on the horizon of a Brave New Hell.
Yep, quite a few of George Bush's policies are wrong to me, such as saying Islam is a religion of peace, and inviting Imams sans any sign of Quality Control to the White House, amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens and more. But none of that makes Left Liberal Bush Derangement Syndrome a valid and useful state of mind.
Sports, I sometimes get a feeling of foreboding. I get the impression almost everyday, that things are so far gone in what’s basically a form of long term programming, that even the most spectacular action by our enemies will not awaken people. It’s not a matter of being shocked, it’s a matter of hard, objective study. This is not going to happen really. You can’t be shocked into any knowledge with nuance and understanding. It requires real effort and method that takes the intellect in the required disciplined direction.
And yet, I'm pretty much a failure. Not a miserable failure as I'm a cheerful person. Go figure.
Yep, she was genuinely shocked when I said that Bush was a jet pilot, but she was never going to check it out. "Erk! This cannot be!" Just stay with the easy program. Why rock the Ship of Fools? Conmen and frauds on every level, like Michael Moore and Al Gore, freak opportunists such as Islamists and Leftist Radicals rely on you swallowing whole, their Big Lies.
"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use". Soren Kierkegaard
Gee, do ya think that people who want more money, power and status could just possibly realise that the best way to get it, is to wear the oh so easy facade of Left, Liberal and Political Correctness by numbers? No one has to ever think or say anything original and individual. You can phone it in. Do you think that it's more likely for reality to be based in a proven fact than a recently appearing politically motivated ego projection, however excitably fashionable? Even a six year old knows the Leftard drill, and they do exactly that at my son’s school.
“George Bush is bad and he wants a war and is making the world hotter! Is that right Mummy? I’ve done wee wee in my pants…”
Just because you don’t agree with the Presidents policy’s, it does not follow that talking almost exclusively in hyperbole will result in a logical conclusion. He’s a jet pilot and the President and you’re not.
“Er, I don’t know about that. That’s just your opinion!”
Riight. So you usually fly on airlines if you have an opinion that you’re happy with about the qualifications of their pilots? So, there are no verifiable facts about being a pilot then?
Yeah, she also hated Conservatives but had no real idea what they are, beyond some kind of Neo Nazi. Er, so you go to a radical Dentist then, eh? None of that Conservative Medical Establishment, developed by the dead white Western male patriarchy, with their proven methods and competent qualifications for you! And your parents and Grandparents, they usually spend Saturday night downtown torching a mini van?
“Free as the wind! I’ve got to be free! Free is when you don’t have to pay for nothing or do nothing. I want to be free!” Frank Zappa.
It can seem that every second person ‘thinks’ these things and drivels this way. Could this be? It is my friends, hard to believe. We’re living in a time when people are so fortunate, that they can entertain the most stupid and useless of fantasies while still supported completely by the system they neither understand nor appreciate. The details are unimportant if the foundations of thinking, understanding, education and research ain’t there.
Instead many fools and that’s what they are, see what sustains and protects them from the harsh and real world, as the enemy. In their eternal playtime sans any objective self awareness or analytical skills whatsoever, there is actually only one true and mortal foe. The enemy is thine own mind. And one day, our other real and ultimate Nemesis may cause our world to collapse like the breaking of the Continental Shelf.

The Doc is out to lunch.

Hey sports! Great news!
Apparently there is absolutely nothing about Islamism that's Fascist, creepy, depressing, conformist, dark, boring, dreary, Superweird, perverted, murderous, problematic, unreformable, useless, deceptive, evil, frightening, oppressive, dumb, 7th Century, brainwashed, utterly humourless...
Stops for breath.
...unaware, deluded, ignorant, marauding, vengeful, psychotic, mentally ill, total bullshit, repellent, ridiculous, insane, 2,000 years out of date, plain crap, sickening, terrifying, Totalitarian nutso cake, out on the Rings of Venus and get the fuck away from me, at all. Phew!
No, not about Islam or Islamism. Naah...You're imagining things, sport. Nope, it's a complete delight and Gigglefest from beginning to end, and it's great for kid's party's too!
Ok kids, the following a classic piece of Taqiyaa whining and blame shifting by Dr Mohamed Elmasry. He’s from the CIC, or the Canadian Islamic Congress. They’re the current bunch of boring Islamist propaganda frauds and loons who are now trying to sue our man in the real world, Mark Steyn, regards an excerpt from his great book 'America Alone: The end of the world as we know it', that was posted on MacLean’s. These Taqiyaa pushers are attempting to do this, and I kid you not, via an alleged Human Rights Commission!
In Canada! Big as they say, 'effing surprise.
Doctor Moreau Elmasry and his many states of malformed freaks, are in leaning quotes. The rest is me, being my usual carefree and breezy self. Dig it, my fellow freedom loving and hopefully still-armed Infidels. And remember, never give an inch. Oh, we have? That's right, about a hundred kilometres actually. Hey, Viva Steyn and the wonderful power of empirical ridicule! Er, gee, about the only power we have left. Still.
“Freedom of expression and the offending cartoons by Dr. Mohamed Elmasry. A talk given at the annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Journalists, Halifax, Nova Scotia, May 14, 2006
“First I must say that I have four personal reasons for advocating freedom of expression: I am a Muslim”.
Er, gee. Case closed then, eh? Yep, everywhere that’s an Islamic wonderland is just bursting with a vibrant free press and laughter. Er, no. How does siding with Democracy and free speech, which you clearly are not, help with the expansion of Islam an’ all? Islam is at core er, um, gee, gosh, kinda totalitarian is it not? Both throughout its history and everywhere and anywhere it controls the state. Hey, maybe you mean the old Taqiyaa deception technique, and how the institutions and freedoms of Democracy are ideal tools for Islamist geeks to use against the West? I get it.
Or you mean freedom of expression to say how wonderful Islam is. Ok. Islam is wonderful? In fact, it’s so wonderful, that people all over the world are exploding with the wonderfulness of it all.
“Islam, more than any other religion, makes it one's religious duty not only to support, but also to protect, the rights of fellow human beings to freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, and freedom of religion”.
Er, no. But hey, change ‘to support’ to ‘destroy’, and then change ‘to protect’ to ‘crush' and 'obliterate’ and there’s your required accuracy. You know very well, even with your seemingly high dosage of crazy pills, that ones religious duty in Islam, is to spread Islam by any means necessary. And I do mean by any means. Know what I mean, you meaningless meany? The Koran and Mohammad show that anything and everything is permissable, as all is merely Allah's will.
“I am an academic. Academics are paid to speak, to use their voices as teachers and researchers. Any compromise to their freedom of expression, any silencing of their voices, adversely affects their own academic freedom, and ultimately that of their peers. Academic freedom is the basis for their social and economic contributions to the well-being of this country”.
Er, rubbish. Academic, eh? Big as they say, effing deal. Are you describing school teachers or Saints? Academics are paid to teach the syllabus and curriculum. They work in compromise, both to budgets, institutional requirements and the law, the students and even their own peculiar attitudes etc.
Academics whether they are intellectual's or not, are not particularly better than anyone else and can often be worse, living in an often privileged, detached, abstract, irresponsible and theoretical world, stuffed with standard dull Left and Radical extremist ideology, group think, venal posturing, lies and mediocrity. Sure, there’s a negative side too.
And as David Horowitz has clearly shown in ‘Dangerous Professors’, the rarefied atmosphere of academia is populated with quite a few bigots, racists, child molesters, Communists, Islamists, Jew haters, convicted criminals and right up to murderer too.
Academic bankruptcy and a collapse of professional teaching standards are major contributors to the social sickness and economic ignorance of many people in Western countries. Also, considering the entire Mid East outside of Israel, doesn't have one up to standard University, I'd say any 'academic' claims by a sandyside trained Muslim is er, pretty academic, sport.
“I am a writer who addresses religious, national, and international issues.
I am a Canadian activist, not only a Canadian activist but a Canadian Muslim activist”.
Well, that says it all doesn’t it? Canada has virtually achieved full status as a hollowed out corn stalk vacuum of a Left Liberal Dhimmi advocated multicultural nullity. Phew! Everything has been up for grabs and at the whims of fashionably spineless PC bunk pushers for decades.
For a long time Canada has been whatever you want to think it is, except for its actual heritage. So seeing it as nothing is just as equally valid as anything else. Why believe in something that the local people don’t? Well, that’s the merry PC waltz to security and cultural suicide for you.
“Living in a post 9/11 era, marked by dangerously high levels of Islamophobia and the threat of further erosion to the civil liberties and human rights of the Muslim minority right here in Canada”.
So, all you have to say about the mass murder of 3,000 people of all races, ages and religions by 19 Saudi Muslims is the date? What a surprise, Dr Doolittle. Gee, that's really in depth stuff, Creepy. I can see 9/11 really touched you, eh?
There's no such thing as Islamaphobia. Just like there's no such thing as Naziphobia, an irrational fear of Nazism.
The people who are allegedly suffering from er, Islamaphobia’,may just be accurately judging Islam by its cheerful history, including that of Mohammed, the krazy old Koran and the daily actions of er, gee, millions of Muslims. Could be? Sadly, maybe people have plenty of damn good reasons to fear Islam and more than a few Muslim's, because they’re often and obviously either a general pain in the ass, a bore or extremely dangerous. Islamaphobia, meaning an irrational fear of Islam?
Er, it’s entirely irrational to not fear Islam. It's entirely irrational to be indifferent to it, or to think it's actually really somehow all positive, fun or about er, peace. Maybe Rest In Peace? All any truly free person needs to know is that Islam wants you dead.
“I agree with the notion that in Canada anyone can say almost anything, but the sad reality is only those with money can print or communicate it”.
Er, no you don’t and no you can’t, as Canada is diseased with the mental illness of PC Leftist ideology and now Islam.
“Journalists constantly make decisions about what other people will read, hear, or see. They are guided by their backgrounds and values. Factors such as standards of taste and judgments of importance also play a role. No editorial choices to publish, or not to publish, are value-free”.
Er, actually most of the MSM is values free. Having entirely no values are their values. That’s why they give a largely unchallenged platform to a mediocrity and phony such as er, you, Doc. Oddly, the same dhimmis are entirely happy to mostly kow-tow to the freakish non-values of Islamabama ding dong.
“Editors are trained professionals who are supposed to strive for excellence”.
Yep, supposed to, but those days are long gone for about 90% of the MSM.
“They should rise above personal views and follow basic principles of balance and fairness”.
You mean never giving any voice to any criticism of Islam, as no criticism is ever the right kind for many Muslims and Western Liberal's, is it?
“For example, cartoons glorifying the Holocaust, making fun of Jews, or violence against women; or those which ridicule gays, lesbians, the disabled, the mentally challenged, etc., are usually not published”.
Hey, terrific. But um, you’re gonna do that anyway ain’t cha, right?
“But the case for Islam and Muslims is different”.
Yes, it always is.
“The offending material is usually published. This is because:”
Let’s stop you again, right there, Dr Zaius. The cartoons were published in an obscure mag in a small European country and were then ignored for six months until a group of Muslims went overseas to whip up er, the usual Islamic Rage Boy style offense. An easy thing to do with a few Muslims it seems, as the list of things that offend you are indeed endless. But they can be summed up as everything and nothing. Include the very existence of a list too.
The reason they were published by an immeasurably small section of the Western press, is because that’s a free press, such as it is, in a nutshell, or in your case, a nuts Hell. Don’t worry though, most Western MSM fell into the fraud of the Dhimmi and backbone free line, as they usually do. But please, do drivel on Dr Crippin.
“1. There are too few Muslim journalists in any senior editorial or corporate positions in Canada”.
Just wait a little longer, eh? You’ve waited 1300 hundred years so far. In the meantime, just make do with the mass of the clueless, Left and Dhimmied PC MSM. It’s working great for you, because if the MSM ever could shake of its stupidity and ignorance and actually showed the empirical, historical and daily hideous onslaughts of the truth of the Islamic, it’d all be over for you and you know it. But please, do Taqiyaa on, Dr Mengele.
“Islamic groups representing Canadian Muslims are not as powerful as those representing Jews, gays, lesbians, women, the disabled, the mentally challenged, and so on”.
So, it was the Jews all along! And aided by cripples, gays and crazy people. Check. Yep, you never have to wait long for far too many a Muslim it seems, to burst out of the closet as the full blown Islamist and anti Semite that they really are at core, and are so eager to be. Just like Mohammad the pedophile, rapist, bandit and mass murderer, it's a joy. To me, the greatest concentration of crazies appear sometimes to be in the Middle East AKA God’s monkey house. Or any other region unfortunate enough to be touched by the dead hand Mohammad.
Dig, 75% of women in Pakistani jails are there for the er, "crime" of being raped.
”2. There is a general hostility towards Islam and Muslims which stems from political conflicts like the ones resulting from the occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine”.
Er, no. It stems, Dr Cyclops, entirely from the facts of Islam, Mad Mohammad and the crude, unreadable and turgid insanity of the peculiar Koran itself. Aah, but for the eternal loser, victim and denial blame freak Islamist, it’s always someone else’s fault. Islam has waged a 1300 year assault on the entire world and the goals of Islam are very clear.
They are conversion, Dhimmitude or death. You know it and I know it.
And one day soon, everyone will know it. Anyone who wants to keep living that is. Yeah, you must dig the old Taliban if you dissaprove of liberating Afghanistan? I gotta say though, poopy, the Taliban kinda lost me after they started blow torching children. Hey, but maybe that's what won you ever, eh? Who knows? Each to his own utter madness and venality, I say.
Yeah, but Dr. Frankenstein, you're also in favour of murdering every Israeli over 18 years old as per your Coren Show interview, ain't cha? And Dr. Shipman, you also gave Islamism your best Taqiyaa shot, when you said that the classic Islamist psycho killer in Canada who murdered his daughters, was merely dealing with the typical teenage years! Er, bollocks, Doc.
“3. The rise of fundamentalist Christianity and extreme right wing politicians, especially in the U.S”.
Er gee, so you don’t approve of Christianity. Big as they say, effing surprise there, bub. So, it’s nothing to do with the rise of fundamentalist Islam? It’s all those Mormons, Baptists and Catholics eh? Gee, Islam really is so innocent and pure, huh? I'm afraid nothing will ever change the repulsive history or facts of current and global Islamism.
There’s no “rise” of “fundamental Christianity” outside of the fevered head of a Leftist loons hyperbolic imaginings. America and the West are simply and historically Judeo Christian, like Australia and the UK etc. 'Fundamental' in Christianity, simply means the teachings of Jesus. Christian religious loons are marginalised and have no state power. And there are no Christian loons in the West on any equivalent exalted level of Islamic state supported will to power and apocalypse.
The idea of active and effective mass Christian extremism is a fantasy of fashionable moral relativists. Islamic extremism is a relentless, daily and global reality.
Nope, in Muslim states, the biggest religious crazy's often go straight to the front of the soft headed parade and then it's onto government, usually running on a "Death to Infidel's" platform.
Islam is fundamental. There is in truth, no other kind of Islam.
The teachings of Jesus generally mean truth and decency and not er, beheadings and child brides etc. You know Jesus? He was in all the papers. He’s the spiritual leader guy that was not a killer.
“4. Few Canadian journalists have ever met a Muslim or lived among Muslims”.
Maybe, but I doubt it, being so terminally PC inclusive and all.
But again, just wait for those birth rates to make the adjustment. Um, but sadly it seem's. mucho MSM journalists are clueless weaklings and Left enough to make them highly sympathetic to your line of cant, fraud, deception and subterfuge.
“5. The high concentration of Canadian media ownership in the hands of a few families or corporations, none of which are friendly to Muslims”.
Er, who knows and why should they be? Like the majority of the non-Muslim world, most people are uninterested one way or another regards Islam. And that’s why Islamist's invent the fiction of a conspiracy against them, when much of their ills are self inflicted, all while declaring a global war in daily word, doctrine and deed.
“In cases where objectionable material appears in a Canadian publication, special interest groups usually protest in a number of ways by using:
1. Professional persuasion (e.g. meeting with editors);
2. Political activism (e.g. asking elected politicians to condemn the publication's lack of sensitivity);
3. Emotional involvement (e.g. public expressions of displeasure, such as writing op-ed’s, letters to the editor, phone calls to complain, etc);
4. Economic action (e.g. boycotts, picketing); and
5. Legal or semi-legal responses (complaints to press councils, the CTRC, hate law enforcement agencies, civil suits, human rights)”.
God ya boring! But I'll persevere. Er, you can do all that now, so what’s your beef exactly, or pork? Aah, because you will never be satisfied until all is Allah, Islam and Sharia, right? The truth now, poo poo face.
Gee, aren’t you happy with Sharia creep as it is, oh Sharia creep? Ya doin’ pretty damn well. You have no right in a Democracy to not be offended, even a fool. But you either know that and are merely practicing your Taqiyaa skills, or you really are thick as a brick. As I said, looking at the often bizarre standards of a laughable Islamic education, the latter is highly likely.
“This multi-dimensional form of protest has been used, and will continue to be used by special interest groups, seeking to prevent the publication of objectionable material.
But when Canadian Muslims tried to use the same methods in the case of the offending cartoons reprinted in Canada, months after appearing in a Danish newspaper, they were labelled as "extremists," "Fascists," "Islamists," or "idiots," and dismissed as "not subscribing to Canadian values," or that they were "against free expression," they "have no sense of humour," and so on”.
Gee Doc, I don’t think I can really improve on your own confessions there. And congratulations! Admitting you have a problem is the first step to good mental health.
“Their reasoned and peaceful objection to the publication and republication of the Danish cartoons was called "bogus" and those editors who ethically chose not to republish the cartoons were taunted as "cowards."
Again, yes. They were cowards and no Muslim has yet given any ‘reasoned’ objection yet. And er, peaceful? Riiight. Get professional help, mate.
“Now any publication which incites hate, or which spreads negative stereotyping about a Canadian minority is morally wrong, because it negatively compromises or erodes the well-being of all members of that minority”.
Baloney. Sadly, it’s the criticism of many a Muslim that is usually entirely right. It’s the papering over of the dysfunction and utter incompatibility of the Islamic mindset and normal modern society that is usually bogus.
“The issue here goes beyond the boundaries of free expression; it is about the power of "free speech" to dehumanize fellow citizens and depict them as "not like us." Unfortunately, that consideration did not deter publications like the Western Standard.
Er, it doesn’t go beyond free expression at all. It's entirely about freedom of expression. That's ya beef at base really, innit? Take your lumps like everyone else, Stinky. Grow a spine, balls and some maturity. Get a damn sense of humour and proportion. You’re talking about some damn pencil drawings. What wouldn’t offend you, exactly? I don’t care if you’re offended. If ever a freak scene needed ridiculing, it’s Islam.
If we can't ridicule religion I want to know why? What's the agenda? Hey, I don't want or need Christianity to be beyond criticism or ridicule. I loved Dave Allen.
“Unless you believe in freedom of speech for those you find loathesome,
you don’t believe in freedom of speech at all.” Mark Steyn.
And Doc, you're as loathsome as they come, but I'm happy to let you drivel on forever even if no one can get you to qualify said drivel. As Chuck Heston said to Dr Zaius in Planet of the Apes, "What are you afraid of, Doctor?"
Also, the Western Standard online, crushes any feeble and stupid offering I guess you’ll ever come up with, mate.
“In modern Germany, there are museum exhibits covering the period leading up to the Holocaust. Among those displays one can see "cartoons" depicting Jews as thieves, cheats, fools, liars, misers, etc.
The message was clear: "Jews are not like us, they are therefore not worthy to live with the rights and respect that we have."
In May 1934, the German newspaper, Der Sturmer, ran the headline Jewish Murder Plan Against Gentile Humanity Revealed. The newspaper ran also cartoons with captions like: "Jews are our misfortune," "The Jew is our greatest enemy," "Beware of the Jew," "Defend yourself against Jewish atrocity propaganda," and so on.
In February 1943, the same newspaper depicted a bearded Jew wearing a skull-cup, with the caption "Der Satan", the Satan.
The stereotyped image of the European Jew showed him dressed in black, with dark eyebrows, a big nose, an evil or furtive expression, and usually hunched over, whispering anti-European conspiracies to his co-religionists.
All of these were caricatures meant to grossly exaggerate the physical features and perceived mannerisms of a targeted group.
I believe it was this sort of "free speech" that led to increasingly violent acts against Jews, culminating in events like Kristallnacht, and ultimately the horrors of the Holocaust. It was a gradual intensification of hate, with deceptively "harmless" things like cartoons helping pave the way for the evil that happened under the Nazis”.
Er, gee Doctor Proctor, all very amusing but a ridiculous, outrageously disingenuous and plain stupid comparison. So let me see if I get your pointless point. Apparently, the Jews were setting off bombs, crashing planes into buildings, organising violent Jihadist cells to kill as many German civilians as possible, while a deluded and soft bellied Third Reich stood helplessly by, er, watching? Are you nuts or just an embarrassing serial liar?
My guess is with deep therapy you could work yourself up to the level of insane. Ya being persecuted? Nobody is really doing any such thing, are they? You're mostly being PC pandered to, I'd say. You just want it all and will never be satisfied until you have total control, and not even then. Mohammad is a historical figure, Islam is only a religion, and Islam is not a race, Poopy. To the faithless, religion is merely ideology and an idea.
And um, last time I looked, the Danes were not the Third Reich. And Islamist's are not on the same moral plane as the Jews. They're just sometime's on a plane.
"Look out! He's got a knife, a bomb, a gun, a Koran, B.O, haliotosis or all of the above!"
It’s a significant percentage of Muslims throughout Europe, the UK, the US, Asia and even Australia etc, who are doing the threatening, attacking and murdering. Boy, when some Arab's and Muslim's bullshit, they have less limits on their exaggerations of reducto ad absurdum than a four year old. Are you retarded? I mean, actually? Childhood accident? You can’t be a full grown adult, surely?
My advice? Everytime you see Depends daipers on special, grab 'em. Ya gonna need 'em.
“The Danish newspaper's offensive cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a bomb-wearing terrorist, or a ridiculous fanatic, fall into the same divisive and dangerous stereotypical category as slogans like, "Jews are Christ-killers," "Christians are savage anti-Semitic Crusaders," "Blacks are drug-dealers," "Aboriginals are lazy drunks," etc”.
All your quotes are easy to objectively disprove, whereas Mohammed as a terrorist and a ridiculous fanatic is easy to show, because he was, just like many of his his fanatical followers.
“Ever since the news media broke the cartoon story from Europe, numerous Muslim and non-Muslim Canadians have objected to the publication of these drawings, especially in papers and magazines originating from within our own country.
One does not have to be a Muslim to feel the pain and betrayal these pictures convey. It is the same kind of pain felt by descendants of Holocaust survivors when confronted with the illogical ranting of those who deny it ever happened; or the pain of Black citizens faced with the spectacle of white supremacists marching down the main street of their town”.
Next you’ll compare the moon with a block of cheese or your ass with your elbow. Pain? And yet you and far too few other Muslims it can seem, are not offended enough if at all, by photos, film , documentation of oppression, beheading, homicide/suicide bombings murdering children, women, men, child brides and rape, genital mutilation, torture, whippings, corrupt Theocracy’s and indeed any daily atrocities all committed by er, Muslims and in the name of Mohammad and Islam.
And what happen's to Muslim dissident's? They live under constant threat if they continue to live at all.
You are a goofy fraud. So full of self pitying shite. How do ya get on a plane with all those kilos of crap?
“The editors of Canada's largest-circulation newspapers made the right ethical and professional decision not to republish the Danish cartoons and the government of Canada expressed regrets that they were ever published in Denmark and republished in Canada.
They realized that those cartoons are not about a so-called "clash of civilizations," or the collision of Islamic and Western worlds.
The real issue is about a Western Muslim minority, struggling in a hostile post 9/11 environment to live as normally as any other group in our multicultural society. It is about a minority at a crossroads in their relationship with the Muslim world of their former home countries.
As such a community, Western Muslims have much to learn from Jewish history in both Europe and North America. Canadian Muslims know they must not stand apart from their fellow citizens, but must actively move into the concept of smart integration as the ideal model for social unity and cultural coherence”.
Um, you're not Jews. Your dear little chum Mohammad, spent a large part of his miserable existence on earth trying to murder as many Jews as possible. Islam stands apart like no other group or religion. Why is that?
Maybe cos' Islam is kind of inherently hostile and finds it problematic in fitting in anywhere that’s normal? It’s designed to conquer, vampire and overtake all opposition, period, is it not?
“One of the Danish cartoons, which depict Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist, suggests by inference that all Muslims are terrorists”.
That’s right. Most Muslims are not terrorists, though most terrorist's are empirically Muslims.
“This is not merely offensive or insulting, it is enticing hate, pure and simple. And those rogue Canadian publications that insisted on reprinting it are therefore knowingly promoting hatred against Muslims. To condone such an explicit depiction of the Prophet of Islam as a terrorist, one has to be at the very least wilful, in not acknowledging that such a depiction vilifies and discredits all Muslims, creating a dangerous climate for Muslims in Canada and everywhere else”.
Actually, the vast majority of people don’t care about any cartoons, Islam, the Koran or Mohammed and especially never as much as you obviously do. And why do you obsess and abscess over cartoons? Cartoons! Ha, ha! I haven't thought so much about comics, since I was about twelve.
Why don't you buy a copy of The Adventures of Spiderman? Have you ever considered that people simply don’t like whiners, like you? And it seems that apart from oppressin' and a' killin', that's the favourite past time of far too many a Muslim.
“Canadian Muslims are a minority, often a highly visible one, and the vast majority of non-Muslim Canadians have grown up with stereotypical views of Muslims, no matter how well-intentioned they may be. The republication of the anti-Islam cartoons has served only to further stereotype Muslims as dangerous and threatening”.
It’s not a stereotype. It's a statistical reality. If there were just two of you, we’d just have you arrested by a single squad car and taken to an asylum for the criminally insane. Many Muslims fit into what is actually a multi-type. There are millions of you who feel the same Jihadist way, pal.
“Canadian Muslims do accept and acknowledge that extremists exist and must be dealt with”.
Er, that’s the exact opposite of what you’ve said so far. And no you don’t think anything should be done, if you're easily ground to a humourless halt by some bleeding cartoons, fer Christ sakes.
“But when the ideologies and actions of a very few are used as the basis to judge an entire people, distortion and unfairness are the inevitable result. Extremism is not in any way, shape, or form, the essence of Muslim life. Extremism, in fact, is no more a monopoly of Islam than it is of any other faith group, whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, or Sikhism”.
Er, bullshit moral equivalence, fluffy. The world is not living in fear of Jews, Christians, Hindu’s, Sikhs, Buddhists, Taoists, Animists etc. But many people are frightened by Islam and Muslim's, even with the apologist overdrive. There’s no violent global movements connected to any other religion but Islam. Last time I looked, only Muslims wanted to bring about a world wide Caliphate.
“The vast majority of Muslims, though conservative, are moderate in their political views. Islam has long been regarded among its adherents as "the religion of the middle way." The Prophet himself, so misconstrued in the infamous Danish cartoons, repeatedly denounced extremism”.
Again, bullshit. A significant proportion of Muslims in virtually every survey in Western migrant community’s, shows clearly that many do want Sharia law, an Islamic state and support wholly any violence, including Al Qaeda's to achieve it. Check out the latest Pew Report, mate.
“We Canadian Muslims share the same common values: a deep respect for knowledge; a passion for justice; compassion toward the sick, elderly, needy and underprivileged; devotion to the values of family life, including respect for parents and elders; and acceptance of the "other," the strangers and travellers in our midst”.
Hold all that up to the mirror of research and you’ll soon see that the opposite is sadly often true on many counts.
“We live today in one world, a global village continually connected via instant communication. Our world economy is an interdependent entity, where a ripple on one continent can cause a tidal wave on another. Consequently, the selfish and irresponsible publication of hate literature, even if some consider it "funny," damages the world we live in. We need to stop, think, and care -- after all, it's the only world we've got”.
What would you find funny exactly? Not much methinks. Only a losers with a chip on both shoulders, ulterior motives and an inferiority complex the size of the Gulf, that's been aging without maturity for 1300 years, would concentrate on some bloody cartoons. You got a problem, Doc. See a Doctor! One is either a fool or psychopath with a plan.
Yes, we have only one world and Islamism wants that world in its entirety. Islam is inherently problematic. The true face of Islamism loves death and total power. It's always hated the million things that make life decent and the reality of real human feelings. It is apocalyptic, anti-human, fascist totalitarianism taken to the 9th degree and beyond.
The Islamist mindset is so self focused and crippled, it’s quite hard to believe. Anyone who can’t take any criticism has no real confidence. And that’s because your pecular Prophet of nothing, was wrong about everything. You even know it sometimes and deep down it maybe fills one with a rage and frustration, that lies and self deception don’t always cover. Mohammad said you were chosen for unique greatness, yet Islam has delivered nothing but failure and mediocrity supported by the luck of oil.
Remove the oil, and Finland exports more goods than the entire Middle-East. Cultures that cannot tolerate the free flow of ideas simply cannot progress, ever. Islamism is full of passive aggressive blowhard hyperbole, with a phony front of morality when underneath is often perversion, weakness and bankruptcy.
No Arab and Persian state could beat Israel militarily, or much any other way. Because of how Islamic states have spent the last 1300 years, and how the Jews have spent their time, the Israelis are now superior to any Club Medieval and state of hopelessness in almost every way sport, and you know this too. But you try to deflect it with absurd conspiracy that you amazingly actually believe! Stuff that even an inbred hillbilly from Deliverance wouldn’t swallow.
Oh boy, what have you done to yourself? Regards your local media, I've seen better results in a petri dish.
Middle Eastern armies are almost uniquely stupid. That’s maybe why so many dig terror, the assassin and invasion by immigrant stealth and treachery so much. It’s the best one can do, eh?
You blame the Jews, hey, tell me the news! I always picture “It’s the Jews!” shouted with a Loony Tunes style foaming rabies mouth. It’s America too eh, and Hell, everyone but you.
The Jews, the British and the Americans of 300 million people of every race and religion are infuriatingly for you, the greatest achievers in history, contributing more to the world than everyone else combined. And in the end for two reasons only; they’re truly free and that freedom is protected. You see, Islamic states have the ultimately useless and creepy luxury of being the only kids on the block in their neighbourhood. No competition, dig? But then, so many are such long term basket cases that they may know nothing better. So sad.
The opposite of normal ambition often applies in states that are not free and open places, but closed societies that do not value work, innovation or individual expression. You have 20 odd of these paralysed piles in the Middle East, and all without a single world class University. You have vast oil wealth and no real economies to show for it.
Islam has to be enforced by not allowing any other religion in any Islamic state, and making the punishment for leaving the contradictions of Islam, death. The West needs nothing from Islam per se. Islam has only the abyss. Even if Islamism took over the world, it would collapse into infighting by lunch, just as it did after old crazy shoes Mohammed croaked. The only decent and useful thing he ever achieved and all by himself.
The main exports of most Islamic states are oil, terror, Wahabism, people and complaint. Why is the West successful? Because of Judeo Christianity, Greek, Roman and Celtic influences, Capitalist Democracy, the free flow of ideas, the Enlightenment, science, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, free markets, the free flow of ideas, freedom of expression, art, music, fun and courage etc.
Why are Islamic states not successful? Because they are Islamic states.
All in all, the Doc’s open lettuce is just baloney, logical fallacy, diversions, excuses, classic Muslim conspiracy theory and whining and all sans any rational logic. But that’s what makes him so endearing.
Why do Japan, Germany and Italy not have a grudge against the USA after WW11? Because for the most part, their militant cores were utterly crushed, and sooner or later for militant Islamism too, this is entirely what must be done.
The catch is sports, Islam itself is a militant core.

Always with the negative waves, man.

For any abused Koori women and children to be able to deal effectively with their tormentors, the groovy assistance of Oddball and his Sherman tanks would certainly give them an edge.
In the 1970’s comedy drama film ‘Kelly’s Heroes’, set during World War ll, a motley crew of Allied soldiers come together to steal a large amount of gold bullion from a bank behind German lines. If you have to have a crew, make sure it’s motley, I always say. There’s a scene where twenty years before Haight-Ashbury, Oddball, an American proto hippie tank Commander, played wonderfully by a bearded Donald Sutherland, is reprimanded by one of his crew for his seemingly flaky and relentless optimism.
Aah, the negative and the positive of mind are defined by their explanatory styles. It’s the difference between seeing everything as either an impossible hurdle or someone else’s fault, or alternatively as a challenge to be relished. It’s also the confidence to see that its effect upon you is something that you can control.
To me, the Left is one big negative wave of passive and unproductive victimhood, blame and envy.
Sutherland as Oddball, answers after a cool and languid pause to the now twitching and red faced compadre, “Always the negative waves, Moriarty, always with the negative waves”. Oddball drives his men to fulfil the mission by concentrating their “positive” thoughts.
That’s when said mission is not collapsing into fiasco due to failure of said happy smiley’s to deliver. Now Oddball is the only hippie in WWll, and he's also fiendishly innovative and effective. Aah, the irony piled upon irony. Sadly, hippie standards I believe, have declined somewhat since the fall of Berlin.
And quite frankly, I like the cut of Oddballs jib, yes I do, and that's from someone whose run over several hippies.
I can never hear, read or contemplate anything about ‘negativity’ or 'positivity' without thinking of that particular moment and of those lines.
“Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?” Oddball.
“Crap!” Moriarty.
I also consider how assertive action usually trumps and destroys any foolish emphasis on emotions first. So it was when I heard someone on ABC radio say around October, on another typically context and depth free news item, that an important reason for the aboriginal malaise and allied problems is that the Howard government had “a negative attitude” to Aboriginals. Especially with various government officials and some other too rare individuals speaking about changing the methods that over several decades have gone some way to creating said spiral of dysfunction.
“The difference between a stupid man and a wise one is the stupid man's inability to calculate the consequences of the action. The same goes for government”. Brian Penton, journalist.
While a flaky style of optimism worked out pretty well for Oddball in the movie, sadly, in the eternal playtime of activism, things haven’t worked out that way regards the massed cast of real oddball extras straight from Central Casting and their combined effect on Koori society.
That’s right, folks, Aborigines are real people who may just want the same standard of living as say, an inner city Michael Leunig fan. Few humans enjoy living in a cultural museum, no matter how many residents of Prahran find the fantasy of it all so romantic, without the slightest intention of actually living it themselves.
Very few Left luvvies appear to actually want to do anything practical to change the lot of Aboriginals, as business, education, private property and so on would never occur to them in connection with Koori’s, whom they see as kind of helpless and entirely different to them.
Um, I don’t believe any Uni Grad boob would let a Koori tell them how to live as a victim and very badly. Nope, the boob’s idea is to keep a handy pet victim forever and as just that. It’s their own personal voodoo doll for criticising any Conservative Government, Western culture and in the end Labour too, if they ever dare to change the rotten status quo.
Aah, just wait to see if Islam makes some disastrous inroads into Koori culture like L.A gangster junk has and for many of the working class.
“The best way to help the poor is not to become one of them”. Lang Hancock the mining magnate.
“Er, send me a couple of million inner city bleeding heart phony’s, a hundred thousand freak activists high on hyperbole sans any responsibility and Quality Control, and plenty of Neo-Socialist professional misfit Kooris, but all angry and permanently out of their depth, thanks”.
All that earnest activism is such a drag, especially when you realise that a large part of the Australian sense of humour is akin to and is, Aboriginal humour. After more than thirty years of ever diminishing returns on the steady incline to full-blown Koori disaster, it still doesn’t seem to publicly worry a lot of those who say loudly how much they “care”.
“Hey, what do we want?! More of the same! When do we want it? Now and forever!”
Where's the outrage and urgency from the Left of mind, for any immediate and realistic action regards ending the abuse of Koori Kids? Like they would expect for their own children…
Hey, but by the expressed logic of the Left, if we just send out positive vibes, everything should work out just Jim Dandy. And this is exactly what the utterly bogus, meaningless and self reverential sentimental narcissism of the mass Sydney Harbour Bridge walk was all about. I’m afraid that intentions, however good they may seem, can count in the harsh application to reality, about as much as parsley.
“Crazy! I mean like so many positive waves maybe we can't lose! You're on!” Oddball.
Half a million or more deluded fantasists “takin’ it to the bridge”, not for any actual physical achievements like education, infrastructure, professional training, medical standards or child welfare services, no not one of those things, but the two words of “Sorry” and “reconciliation”. Um, all very sentimental but what happens then?
Er, too late folks! All the Saints and Saviours have gone to a nice café to feel pretty damn good about themselves. So basically nothing.
“But don’t it feel good? I’m walking on sunshine, who-oh!”
Gee, didn’t Fred Hollows DO something very specific and focused regards his eye specialist work, not just um, feel something? But it’s all about feelings, passions, moral vanity and self regarding cant, innit? The inner city cafĂ© set saves the world one flat white at a time. It’s funny how little Noel Pearson’s support for John Howard's NT intervention is taken seriously if it registers at all. I guess he’s not the ‘right kind’ of Aboriginal spokesman and activist.
He’s sincere, imperfect, moral, clear spoken, pragmatic and has no Che’ the child killer Guevara T-shirt affectations, you see.
Which is very ironic, because every pin head against the intervention in Aboriginal communities and for the neo apartheid of “self determination”, as it’s so fraudulently termed, is ipso facto for child rapists and killers continuing on unhindered.
“A Sherman tank can give you an edge”. Oddball.
This whole self reflective and empty posturing sans any plan of action, except maybe spend more government cash, is perfectly illustrated by a dull and entirely predictable cartoon by the neurotic and relentlessly deluded Michael Leunig at ‘The Age’ newspaper for Wednesday December 05. Newspaper is it? How can ya tell?
It’s a classic and unintentional parody of moral inversion, of intent and posture as a replacement for action, or even achievement as defined by the nutso Left. Five panels of a Liberal politician saying he won’t say “Sorry”. Riiight. The Lefts Marshall Plan. Check. The last panel has our hero responding to his wife’s greeting of “How was your day darling?” with “It was a day of successful achievement and positive visionary enterprise as usual, thank you dear”.
Aah, the automatically smug disdain for the comic relief of genteel speech patterns, always ripe for chuckles and an easy bohemian rebel credit. So for Leunig the Drag King, the definition of empirical action is either beyond him, bogus or can be replaced entirely by either not saying sorry, or saying sorry. Whatever.
Almost all the passions of the Leftoid are entirely abstract and built in a stratosphere of conceit and imagined achievement. “Imagine no possessions; it’s easy if you try”. Yep, it’s easy to be in favour of anything if you ain’t paying for it.
“Keep your hands off a my stash”, is a little more like it.
Why don’t the Left apologise for the damage of over thirty years of what has been their own Neo Socialist Indigenous policies? Hmmmm? Instead, the PM of the last eleven years should apologise on behalf of whom and for what exactly? Isn’t that what your Mother used to say? “Now you’ve said you’re sorry, but what are you sorry for?” Apologising for the broad sweep of history is essentially irrational, absurd and meaningless. But that’s Leftism for ya.
“May as well be here we are, as where we are”. Koori saying.
“Those who lose dreaming are lost”. Koori proverb.
And many Kooris are exactly here, according to the ‘The Victorian Government Indigenous Affairs Report 2006-2007’.
It found: "Aboriginals died on average 17 years younger than non-indigenous Victorians, were more vulnerable to crime, poverty and chronic disease. The cycle begins at birth, with lower birth weight.
Koori kids are nine times more likely to be exposed to child abuse and 40% live in single parent families. Less than one quarter finish high school and 14% don’t make it past year 9.
Education deficiencies soar into later life, limiting job prospects and income. More than half of households are on low incomes and Kooris have twice the unemployment rate. They are 12 times more likely to be imprisoned and 3 times the chance of being murdered".
From The Melbourne Herald Sun Friday December 07 2007.
Er, this is a self perpetuating low class lifestyle or more accurately death style vortex. It has everything to do with action taken and not taken, education, attitude, expectation, standards, opportunity and environment.
It has NOTHING to do with saying sorry, or making vast tracts of land available but under native title,so that no individual Koori can own or use it for their own initiative or private enterprise, like er, everyone else. It also has nothing to do with the bankrupt ideologies of Leftism or the romantic delusions of urban white people. It's about the last several decades of policy that the Left seem to not only want to keep, but reinforce.
It has everything to do with making it entirely natural for Aboriginals to be part of the mainstream and have all the choices that this inherently means, just like everyone else. Why are Aborigines being socially experimented on like some bizarre reinventing of a square and broken wheel? A normalised life works for anyone and abnormal one for no one at all. What an insult to a people with such a unique can do history, that they are viewed as somehow uniquely and eternally hapless.
And all the entirely successful and ordinary Koori people are that way for exactly the same reasons as any other person.
To see a more rounded view of Koori character, humour and enterprise, without the artificial burdens of dysfunction, look at their incredible military service history in every conflict, their work in creating the network and infrastructure of outback stations that they in large part built and so on.
And when one sees healthy and happy Aboriginals swimming, fishing, on horseback or dirt bike riding and generally enjoying life, are they not the most natural, joyful and beautiful of people?
So any decent person should drop the obsession with dated, failed, profoundly stupid Leftist ideology not long after becoming either acne free or obtaining a mortgage, or whichever comes first. Any serious self-reflection and research should finish utterly the platitudes that see more of the same as a nifty method for continually affecting the lives of real human beings.
But no, I suppose we should leave gangs of ultra misfits to gang rape children, beat their women to death, inflict the barbarism of tribal law, for drunken men to prey on the weak, and for corrupt Aboriginal ‘Officials’ to ride a massive Gravy Train to the horizon, because that’d prove how culturally sensitive and sophisticated we are.
“The most intense hatreds are not between political parties but within them”. Phillip Adams, journalist.
Hey, and eternally ABC tenured and unreformed “I was a Teenage Communist” Phil should know. Every time I listen to LNL, it’s like Groundhog Day. “Phil Adams? Is that you?” Put out the music and strike up the band, the Philip Adams Polka...
Yep, as Andrew Bolt has correctly stated, the obscene myth of the “Stolen Generations” means for many Koori women and children, an endless Hell of dysfunction, failure, misery and death. This will be life in total for them, and uninterrupted by PC spooked authorities.
Robert Manne, the curious propagandist and disingenuous tenured ABC hack, said there were at least 100,000 Koori victims of a genocide that never happened. Yet he cannot present 10 names and has produced little to no documentary evidence to back this up. But hey, he’s done pretty well out of the whole Aboriginal industry, eh?
Bunk helps no one except the parasitical industry liar. It damages the confidence of people, especially the young, in the worth of their combined heritage, traditions and society in general, and all for nought.
Then today I read how Boxing Champ, Anthony Mundine, thinks the Olympic Champion Cathy Freeman “can’t be a leader” because she works for “Corporations”. Aah, the Corporation is shorthand voodoo for “evil”, as it’s understood by the simple minded who are beyond understanding anything, especially the economics that they vastly benefit from.
“Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and have their shoes”. Anon.
A corporation is a naturally occurring business entity and business structure in a Capitalistic Democracy. It’s no more evil than a sports team, a microwave oven or the tax code. The tax code is diabolical, not evil.
So Tony the Mundane is so swollen with ideological flatulence, he thinks Cathy Freemans personal or professional success and being wanted by big, effective business is a failure. Er, no. Having nothing to offer because you’ve never achieved anything, therefore being entirely unwanted, is failure, and a failure to even try.
Why does any Koori have to be not merely a free individual, but a boring “representative” of a race anyway?
So, it’s all about some kinda conformity really, right? Er, tribalism mostly sucks. It’s the original total conformist concept. That’s why I never joined the Oak Park Droogs... Of course, sometimes the tribe is all you've got, sometimes it's a great, warm and beautiful family that works like a natural organism, and sometimes it's a burden and something to escape from. And then it can be an awkward in between.
I often wondered why so many traditional and tribal peoples could adapt in their world but never really change and progress. There must have been many rebels and individuals who thought of a new, different or better way of doing things. Must have. So what happened if anything? Tribes pretty much depend on everyone conforming for their very survival, so I imagine any Edison or James Dean of the wilderness would have been a fairly unwelcome threat to just about everyone. But er, things have changed, eh?
“Shoot straight you bastards. Don't make a mess of it”.
Harry (Breaker) Morant, executed soldier and poet.
Hey, it’s a not so novel idea to pass on the irrational political and economic fantasies of a morally collapsed and reality free Left Liberalism. It’s been happening in the USA at least since FDR's New Deal in the 1930's, and LBJ’s Great Society experiments in the mid 1960’s. Its welfare and “Culture of Complaint” as Robert Hughes called it, is a major part of the destruction of black society in the US. Add to that tragic drug, alcohol and toxically violent mix, the peculiar, ridiculous and invariably hare brained ‘Black Muslim’ movement, and you’re livin’ the dream.
‘Be careful who your heroes are’. Manufacturing Dissent.
“Ordinary people need to lead and not sit there and think that governments are going to spoon feed them”. Ian Kiernan, organiser of Clean up Australia Day.
“There is nothing so costly to the state as a ruined life”. Catherine Spence, social and political reformer, writer and teacher.
Folks, the answer for Kooris are the same as for everyone else and it ain’t strange and isolated tribalism. Its individual freedom and responsibility, private property rights, education, health and protection under the law.
Responsibility, eh? I knew there was something I forgot to have. So, whatever you do, take my advice, but don’t copy my failure!
"Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice". Dr Sidney Freedman from M*A*S*H.
Aah yes. The Rhetorical Shit Storm. “Aboriginals have been here 40,000 years etc”. Er, I’ve never met one that old. A forty seven year old Koori has been here exactly as long as I have. And being a struggling artist type, I’ve been a welfare recipient as much as anyone. Well, I didn’t want to say bum.
Yep, culture, shmulture. Hey, I like culture too including mine, and I don’t always reach for my Luger whenever I hear it mentioned. My English Celtic ancestors used to cover themselves in blue woad and howl at the moon. But once we got an easily frightened parrot, my parents stopped doing this. You know, all cultures have insight, possessing both good and bad and so on. Even the Welsh.
Er, isn’t Tony Baloney Mundine a Muslim? Um, there’s no leader of Islam at all. No Pope or similar. The freaky ‘leaders’ of Islam are often self appointed nut jobs, often just the most dangerous loudmouth with the strongest faction on the block. And er, isn’t the spread of Wahabist Islam globally, entirely due to the Saudi’s and their trillions of oil dollars?
And golly gee Paw, haven't the majority of what passes for 'moderate' Immans and more individually run Mosques in the world, nearly all been relentlessly replaced by Corporate Saudi money, pushing their Wahabist hardline or what is actually er, true Islam? For example, of Britains over 1200 Mosques, a majority are now run by an extreme Islamist, who just can't wait to cut off the heads of those that insult the filth of Islam...
Gee Tony, sounds just like a God Damned Corporate take-over to me, mate, if ever I saw one. And I'm seeing one now.
And er, isn’t OPEC like um, a Corporation thing?
Gee, Corporations are so bad because they’re a large group of people all bound by certain rules and codes of conduct for a common goal. Er, almost like a tribe but with dividends, Annual General Meetings and the shiny brochures!
Shouldn’t Tony Macaroni, maybe be kind of aware of a little of this? It’s either disingenuous, a lie or just plain dumb, but I would never say that. The past is a great place to learn, but you can’t live there. Hey, Tone! Read a book. They have words and thoughts in 'em.
“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there”. L.P. Hartley. ‘The Go-Between’.
“There is no better way of life in the world than that of the Australian. I firmly believe this. The grumbling, growling, cursing, profane, laughing, beer drinking, abusive, loyal-to-his-mates Australian is one of the few free men left on this earth. He fears no one, crawls to no one, bludges on no one, and acknowledges no master. Learn his way. Learn his language. Get yourself accepted as one of him; and you will enter a world that you never dreamed existed. And once you have entered it, you will never leave it”.
John O'Grady, Irishman.
The common and repeated canard is that everything that happened in the past was terrible, malicious, state planned and a failure. While yes there were many rotten, criminal, awful abuses and crimes, there was no broad public policy for this.
Doing something now about the consequences of past actions is entirely different to empty abstractions that result in no good for people who are alive and being born today.
When Australia was colonised, there were estimated to be about half a million Aboriginals, about the same amount as today. Er, if there was a “Genocide”, wouldn’t there surely be less people?
In the new Melbourne Museum and PC Parody, there is none the less, a very large and interesting wall of photographs of Aboriginals and mixed blood people. It’s refreshing to see such a wide range of people from accountants, country Doctors, professional soldiers, business people, boxers, from the good to villains and so on. Just like everyone, it’s a diverse portrait and a broad view of real people instead of people as a handy cipher for dreary and useless ideology. Now something went wrong to ruin and dislodge so much of normal Koori society.
And that’s why the report in the ‘Swingin’ links’ under “Peter Sutton: The Politics of Indigenous Suffering” is such an insight and essential reading.
Focus on positive action and dealing effectively with any actual negatives and you can ignore the effects of laughably alleged negative waves. The answer is the removal of the true causes of the extreme and criminal dysfunctions that stop many Kooris, especially children, being the free and happy people they can be and the Australians that they damn well are.
“Alone of all the races on earth, they seem to be free from the 'Grass is Greener on the other side of the fence' syndrome, and roundly proclaim that Australia is, in fact, the other side of that fence”. Douglas Adams, Englishman.

Derek and Clive misunderstand fucking Islam.

Dud: "I said 'ere, Pete. What the fuck is this then?"
Pete: "This is a mans mind in turmoil, Dud. Or in layman's terms, your standard fucking Islam".
Derek: Ere’ Pete. Um, you know what I don’t understand? It’s that fucking Islam. I don’t understand a fucking bit of it. It’s mostly for cunts. They’re all cunts, the fucking lot of ‘em!
Clive: Er, what I don’t understand is why Prime Minister Kevin rented balls Rudd has not replied to my letter.
Derek: Er, what was your correspondence concerning, Pete?
Clive: Well Dud, it was a simple message really. Dear Prime Minister, why are you such a boring, dreary little Lefty cunt? I have sent you a crazed Bengal Tiger. Please let him fly around the Lodge ripping your stupid fucking head off. If you do not like the Bengal Tiger, please send him to the Leader of the Opposition, who is also a cunt. Yours sincerely, Doris. Doris being my non de plume.
Derek: Lovely. You don’t have a plume then, Pete?
Clive: Non.
Clive: As you well know Dud, I’ve thought long and hard that a major part of the training of any celebrity or MSM journalist, should involve compulsory wrestling with a Bengal Tiger within a locked room.
Derek: A day not spent setting one of the great cats onto one of the great arseholes, is a day fucking wasted, Pete. Actually, I've thought just now, 'ere, long and hard? No, the horn has gone. I am sans horn.
Clive: Here, here Dudley, and over there as well. Though I do feel we have discussed your horn sufficiently in the past rather ad nauseum, so to speak. Now you mentioned earlier your er, misunderstanding of Islam, or as we like to call it at the Hippie Eradication Death Squad, the religion of peace…or else!
Derek: It’s bollocks!
Clive: Yes, but that’s only the parts that make the slightest sense at all, which unfortunately, none of it manages to do. The last thing we unenlightened Westerners must never do, with our meaningless and unlimited freedom, awesome art and triumphant science, vast economic success and great traditions of human rights, is to misunderstand Islam. This almost inevitably leads to an explosion. In fact Dud, you will find that more people have exploded, due entirely to misunderstanding the filth of Islam, than all other religions combined since cannibalism.
Derek: Ere, Pete, that Mohammad was a cunt. What a fucker! [On piano.]A fucker was he, oh yes, what a fucker was Mohammed, his wife was nine when she was hammered, not by fucking Christ... but Mohammed! What a shit! You may be a lover, but you ain’t no dancer... Islam gave me, fucking cancer!
Clive: Very nice, Dud. And I do just happen to know a fashionable baboon from Surrey who’d be very interested in appearing in a nice art style film clip for your ballad in praise of the Prophet of Fuck All. Now, regarding our favourite paedophile, rapist, bandit, mass murdering and Jew hating sand freak, Mohammad, well there are rumours and the word has got about, that he also had a negative side.
Derek: It wouldn’t be a side of bacon would it, Pete?
Clive: No, sadly it wouldn’t Dud. Mass murdering kiddie fiddlers covered in lice, filth and sand, consider our friend the pig an unclean creature. An unclean creature they consider it to be. Present any raving Islamist psychopath with a nice sucking pig and unlike us Infidels, they have the depth of religious and moral conviction and the discipline to say, “No, take away your accursed swine cakes and bring me the nine year old childbride instead, and with extra butter”.
Derek: Well, that’s your superior faith for you. So I’m a fucking Infidel then, Pete?
Clive: Yes Dud. Sadly, anyone who is happy, free and enjoying the natural depth, width, variety, human meaning, dynamics and nuance of a normal life is er, ipso facto, an infidel.
Derek: So being a Muslim is a fucking insane laugh then, Pete?
Clive: Yes, Dud. You can do anything you like at anytime, to anyone and anywhere, as long as you keep screaming loud enough and kill thousands of people. As a religion, it’s ideal for the unemployable or your common garden variety child killer. I even considered becoming a Muslim myself but I couldn’t stand the endless screaming and the rivers of blood everywhere, of those who had the slightest reservations, or felt unconvinced by Islam’s peaceful message.
Derek: What is that peaceful message, Pete?
Clive: Islam wants you dead.
Derek: Four little words, that say I love you.
Clive: Exactly Dud. In short, and if I’ve read the brochure right, the truth of Islam is for the most crazy and dangerous bastards on earth.
Derek: The brochure, Pete?
Clive: Yes Dud, or in layman’s terms, the fucking Koran.
Derek: What’s it like to read, Pete?
Clive: There is nothing to like when you read it, Dud. That’s the problem. To get a real taste of the claustrophobia and nausea inducing feel of it, well, do you remember that psycho bint you went out with, the one from the council flats?
Derek: Er, you mean the one with seventy three children, a turban and a beard?
Clive: You have never mentioned the beard before, Dud.
Derek: Didn’t I? Fucking Hell! I thought I mentioned it...anyway I don’t see that cunt anymore, fucking Mona Hammad.
Clive: Mona Hammad?
Derek: Yes, she was always looking up at the sky and scribbling into a Spirax folder.
Clive: What was in the Spirax, Dud?
Derek: I couldn’t really always tell, as most of the pages were stuck together. Er, pretty much unreadable, turgid, crude and insane bollocks, Pete.
Clive: I think you used to fuck Mohammad, Dud...again.
Derek: What a cunt!
