Le Colonel Neville s’habille Tojours Pour le Diner. Semper Fi. Thomas Sowell: "There are three questions that I think would destroy most of the arguments on the left. The first is compared to what? The second is at what cost and the third is what hard evidence do you have?” Live free or die or both. Satirical empirical conservative. No, really.

Kevin Rudds genuine emotional emotions and his phony economic hero.
This woman understands more about economics than John Maynard Keynes, PM Kevin Rudd, Greens uber-boob envirofreak Bobby Brown, President Barry Hussein Obama, Paul Krugman and hell, most of 'em.
Rather ironically, what Miss Feinstein does have in common with Keynes and Brown though, is that all three have fondled another persons balls and gripped a long hard wooden shaft in their hands. They may even share the same tastes in underwear, or is that only Krugman? Also, follow the dumb ideas of Keynes and Brown et al, and everyone and everything goes down and hard.
Now dig. I’m sure Kevin is sincere in how he feels about the people most directly effected by the hideous bush fires. No, really. Sadly that's the problem. A blubbing PM makes me feel uncomfortable and somewhat adrift. Did FDR cry after Pearl Harbour or Winston Churchill during the blitz? Curtin during the bombing of Darwin? Nope.
Yes, the terrible bushfires, curiously and apparently largely caused by Marxist Leftard Socialist Green policy, that has effected and killed mostly ordinary working-class people and more and their property. Big fucking surprise eh? Socialist Leftards destroying peoples lives via the state and its control freak interference and gross incompetence?
Gee, smells like...history. Here's eco-imperialism com for everything on just that kind of subject and how it effects people all over the world.
Here's Andew Bolt on the endless official fireload warnings ignored since er, 1939. And the freakishishly dull witted Bob Brown and other green boobs drivelling about it all being the fault of the big lie of global warming.
And one more for laughs, on how the local Nillumbik council are asshats whose idiot Green laws enforced with heavy fines, caused the deaths of many real people, the destruction of property and hey, the fire blasting of the land.
How pagan.
Hey credit where credit is due. The usually middle-class promoted Socialist and environmental Left with their ironic "don't burn off baby, don't burn off!", ends in a real "burn baby burn" a la 1960's actually burning down the homes of the mostly it appears, working and lower middle-class. And now Kevin promises to "re-build" not just entire townships, but the entire country with the er, Socialist state control. No, really. See Rudds essay.
Fantastic, in fact fantastical.
Sadly, Steele Rudd on Our Selection, appears entirely just as sincere, as far as one can tell with Kev the uber-position changeling, about his idiot faux economic influences, namely the crap ideas of one John Maynard Keynes. Here's KRudd and his incompetent dumb ass Socialist balls essay.
“I’m a Keynesian pure and simple”. P.M Kevin Rudd.
Well fluffy, then that would make you an incompetent shallow economic asshat Marxist Socialist then Kev old boy. And hey presto! He is. But no Socialism for you, eh?
“At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
For a séance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry cry cry cry baby
Make your mother sigh.
Can you take me back where I came from?
Brother can you take me back?” The Beatles Cry Baby Cry.
That would be the Fabian Marxist radical elitist eugenicist Socialist Keynes, who knew zero about economics. He did prove though, that if one packages empirical nonsense and absurd bullshit well enough and then gets a critical mass of indoctrinated fellow travelers, any incompetent fraud and nihilistic soft totalitarian stupidity can be accepted as the normal and indeed, only way to go.
Hey, good old Keynes was a director on the British Eugenics Society until 1945! Ah, the control freak Left. Today their only alleged values can be stripped down to a bankrupt support for the controlling welfare state, abortion and identity politics. See [Left] Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg.]
Now Keynes ideas were and are unproven except as incoherent rubbish, and Keynes himself was a very hard working creep, especially the Hitlerian junk of eugenics as most of the Left were and still are. No, really.
Today it goes by the names of massive abortion and creeping euthanasia etc. Thus the Hitlerian Margaret Sanger of "exterminate the negro race" fame, founds Planned Parenthood. Since 1973 they have aborted over 14 million black babies.
And I can think of few things that more effectively remove people’s freedom than Socialist collectivism. No money, no property, no freedom of speech and no guns. Too much? Well, it is incremental. In Australia, freedom of speech HAS been removed by law and so have the guns. But we can keep our houses, so far. Fabbo then.
Eugenics are “the most important, significant and, I would add, most genuine branch of sociology which exists”. John Maynard ‘Crebbs’ Keynes.
Keynes used the device of making up terms as he went. He used the Fabian thang of “plausible deniability”, so that their own faux “reasonable” and “for the general good” position, at least as perceived, could constantly shift. If you say gee, you seem clearly an anti-capitalist pro-smiley faced condescending big government fascist geek. Nope, they can say oh no, I’m just “regulating” it so that it “works better” and so on. All academic balls of course.
“It’s over there! Oh no, I meant over there!” Their ideas are always a no-show in the present, ain't they just?
Just as the Left call the military killers and fascists, they then decry the “pointless deaths” of said killers whenever it’s useful for their phony ideology. Dig. Left Liberal hates troops, cos they “cause” war. Hates the war cos it kills troops! Hates the traditional family cos its “patriarchal”, but then support the er, family cos it’s now er, “diverse!”
But then a major feature of Keynes according to him and his stripe, was that only the highly educated could understand his economics medicine show. It’s easy to understand Keynes really. He was a Marxist academic and thus the kind of asshat the sane would not leave in charge of a corner store.
Perhaps Keynes, the rather highly strung and decadent homosexual could run a corner store fabulously, but we'll never know cos he never did any such thing. Keynes was all abstract fairy theory you see.
Why does the Marxist Left accumulate mostly in academia, government, celebrity and activism? Cos in these ivory places their abstract crap never has to be tested in any reality. And when it is, ya gets the Keynesian disaster that Rudd wants to bizarrely bring back from the tomb. And the taxpayer pays for it.
Gee, these must be the “fresh new ideas” Rudd spoke of BEFORE the election? What a twisted fucker.
Keynes proposed solutions to problems that didn’t exist except after one adopts Keynes dumb non-ideas. Freedom solves all problems that Keynes and his ilk babble on about. Thus capitalism was observed as a naturally occurring set of behaviors and practical systems where people lived unfettered in the massive freedom of American capitalist democracy.
Capitalism is an entirely natural human behaviour, based on private property rights, the free flow of ideas and capital, innovation, supply and demand etc. The Marxist Left gave the name "capitalism" to this entirely effective, fun and moral freedom in a spurious attempt to discredit the very wealth creation and choice that allows people to say fuck off to Marxism. And hey, to develop the advanced weaponry and guns with which to do so effectively.
Guns in the hands of free thinking human beings are for resisting and destroying collectivism.
By 1959, virtually every dimwit academic and government bureaucrat was a Keynes drone. Amazing really. Thus the same kinda boobs are all currently marching to the climate change $cam today.
The main things that make an economy work are lowering the costs of doing business and a real demand for goods, services, innovation and the freedom do so. Gee, like the old fundamental of golly, supply and demand.
So Keynes and Rudd discourage savings, encourage spending and lower interest rates. One out of three is bad. Keynes and Rudd style economic wank, can be summed up as there can never be enough government interference or artificial burden on the people and economy. But hey, thanks says Rudd for the millions of dollars he already has courtesy of an absurdly alleged “failed capitalism”.
Nope, there has only ever been failed socialist government interference in capitalism.
The only “flaw” in capitalism is that people won’t leave it alone. Capitalism always works, is fun because it creates freedom via wealth, goods, services and innovation and it’s moral, for entirely these reasons.
But then science surrounds itself with facts, while pseudo science surrounds itself with alleged experts. Pseudo science such as the unproven, beyond the disastrous, of the drivel of Keynes/Rudd/Obama/FDR/Al Gore drivel.
The Greens avoid reality by using computer modeling when models cannot show economic reality. Much of economics is psychological not add and subtract and predictive based on one’s ideological preferences. AH, Keynes means Greens. The Left and Socialist minded replace reality with abstraction and wishful thinking. Sadly their wishes are fucked up.
Capitalism and democracy give freedom. Thus the Left generally hate it. They prefer what they are against more than what they are for. We are for ideas not mobs. Invitation instead of intimidation. Learning instead of preaching.
The Greens ONLY preach. Henry Hazlitt wrote a book in 1959 that crushes Keynes and his fallacies utterly. It’s called Failure of the New Economics. Dig it.
Prodos: “...as I was studying Hazlitt's book, I was taken aback at how closely the con-artistry of Keynes resembles the con-artistry of the Climate Alarmists.
This has led me to the hypothesis that Keynesianism has provided a very "useful", well-tested, and highly "successful" trial balloon for the perpetration of - not just scams. And not just global scams. But global, pseudo-scientific, pseudo-intellectual scams. Scams which result in accepting - and/or feeling powerless to reject - deadly myths. Myths that kill.
Climate Alarmism and Keynesianism may seem like vastly different domains of suicidal insanity. But I'd like to discuss with you some of the uncanny similarities I see in the methodology of their con-artistry.
[According to Kevin Rudd:] The world has been reveling in an orgy of "neo-liberalism ... free-market fundamentalism, extreme capitalism .... excessive greed ... laissez-faire ... unfettered market forces ..." and in the economic philosophy of the theories of ...
... Hayek and von Mises, who believed that society should be characterized by the 'spontaneous order' which emerges when individuals pursue their own ends within a framework of law and tradition.
I hope you've been noticing all this, because I seemed to have missed it.
Come to think of it, no wonder it's been so difficult trying to promote laissez-faire capitalism these last 25 years. We've already had it for several decades now!
We already have minimal tax! We already have a deregulated labor market! Education, transport, hospitals, roads, utilities, are already privately owned and operated! The red tape required to start and run a new business is already so minimal it's hardly worth bothering about! Capital gains tax is already a relic of the past! Money is already based on an objective market standard! Governments and Central Banks stopped trying to manipulate currencies and credit back in some dark, distant bygone age!"
As Prodos said, the pseudo science of global warming uses the same kinds of trickery and con-artistry as Keynes and his pseudo economics. Marxism used the freakish nihilist idea of an alleged working class mob rule, whereas the Socialist "soft" Marxist Fabians like Keynes craved their own middle-class elitist mob rule! Keynes is like all of his type: cynical, arrogant, puffed with hubris and dangerously wrong about virtually everything economic and human.
Curiously Keynes like Bob Brown, was a homosexual who married a er, ballerina. [Only Keynes married a ballerina] No, really. Tu tu much?
Both were or/are often fatuous and not serious about any known economic reality I recognise. Bobby, the mediocre hare brained Greens leader, “feels” and emotes about the harsh world. He can’t seem to let go of his child-like views of nature, and how the human world should be beholden to it above all else. How ironically anal!
How anal Keynes was, I can’t say beyond he too, could never let go of a single one his stupid ideas. Keynes was a maths graduate and yet his maths were and are, entirely off. Thus proving that University and education does not remove stupidity but often reinforces it.
Ah, but Keynes was a successful investor. Keep your hands offa my stash, eh? So just like Rudd, capitalism for him, Socialism and its pathetic lousy results for you. Keynes father, John Neville Keynes, was an anti-capitalist. Big ‘effing surprise, eh?
Keynes was upset at the Treaty of Versailles, not so much cos it was bad per se, but because it hampered the rise of the Socialists in Germany. And that all worked out just great, eh?
Here’s a kicker. In 1926, Keynes wrote an essay called um, The End of Laissez Faire, meaning capitalism! I kid you not. Just like Rudd’s idiot cut and paste committee opus of blame shifting released via The Monthly! Who does Rudd blame? The capitalists, the international money men and gee, maybe by default the Joooos then? Rudd is priming people with this bullshit claim like a fucking get out free clause. "It wasn't me!"
At least those who are competent analysts [that word again] and who bother to read his cliché fest, will clearly see Rudds beyond belief economic and historical ignorance and incuriousness. Yep, nothing is his fault! What a perverse pin head and cunning ex-diplomat/technocrat he is.
Back to Keynes and his rubbish which is littered with straw men and the Kantian creepy notions that only the collective can know the truth. Keynes invariably sets up the “businessman” as the bad guy.
Keynes wishes to “promote semi-autonomous bodies within the state” for the “public good” and not the individual. For a crazy pansy he sure didn’t like the individual or them having freedom and autonomy. Keynes conflates size with control and conflates terminology.
Keynes shows, like Rudd and Obama, that you can put over an enormous amount of nonsense and people will accept it and even enjoy it.
Here is a great example of Keynes being sarcastic about the free market and in his witlessness he describes something that works entirely and then he somehow imagines it doesn't nor does it exist! Notice again Keynes contempt for the free individual and indeed freedom itself. Keynes equals fuckwit. Keynes needs an economic enema.
"Imagine if the free individual with enlightenment, pursuing his interests, benefitted the general?" Keynes.
Ho ho. Terribly witty. Oh, that's one of Keynes, ma'Lord. Well yes. I don't have to imagine it do I, you inverted bastard.
The “third way” of Blair, Rudd and Obama etc is a fraud and a Left tactic. It’s expanding state control and Socialism by stealth. The 3rd way ALWAYS increases state control and thus the road to totalitarianism and reduces the individual, as it has in Britain.
The Left always makes a false dichotomy of the group and the individual and extrapolates from there. Paul Krugman too, is a major economic creep of the Keynes school. Let’s see a nice quote from Paulus the wooden gnome chomsky, shall we?
Paul Krugman, Neo-Keynesian and Nobel Prize winner: “...the direct economic impact of the [9/11] attacks will probably not be that bad. Now, all of a sudden, we need some new office buildings.” New York Times, September 2001.
Hey, Krugman is just as warm, kind, nuanced and human as gee, Keynes! What a shame I can’t roll Krugman up in a carpet, take him out to the desert and say all of a sudden we don’t need another Keynesian creep. Nope, rolling people up into a carpet and destroying their economic autonomy and freedom is more for your Keynesians.
[Many thanks to Prodos and his Celebrating CapitalismTM lectures for real guidance and much of the insight for this post. Yep, not much in the way of footnotes and examples, but Jesus, that would cost me too much time I do not have. I’m tired of the faux thesis Olympics. So go borrow the Hazlitt book from the library or buy it, ya lousy cheapskate!]
More from the great, groovy and emprical Prodos: "For DISCOVER CAPITALISM™ we'll be studying Kevin Rudd's essay, "The Global Financial Crisis" just published in the most recent issue of The Monthly.
Mr Rudd writes ...
"From time to time in human history there occur events of truly seismic significance, events that mark a turning point between one epoch and the next, when one orthodoxy is overthrown and another takes its place.
The significance of these events is rarely apparent as they unfold: it becomes clear only in retrospect, when observed from the commanding heights of history".
[Colonel Neville: I seem to recall an essay on how to write well by George Orwell, in which he usues the cliche "commanding heights" as an example of bad writing. Anyone else know this one? So anyway, five stars to Kevin the Kliche King.]
Prodos: "Since the Financial Crisis is certainly not yet history, it is hard to see how there can be any "retrospecting" about it or any observing of its "significance" from any kind of "commanding height". No problem, because ...
There is a sense that we are now living through just such a time.
The world has been reveling in an orgy of "neo-liberalism ... free-market fundamentalism, extreme capitalism .... excessive greed ... laissez-faire ... unfettered market forces ..." and in the economic philosophy of the theories of ...
... Hayek and von Mises, who believed that society should be characterized by the 'spontaneous order' which emerges when individuals pursue their own ends within a framework of law and tradition.
I hope you've been noticing all this, because I seemed to have missed it.
Come to think of it, no wonder it's been so difficult trying to promote laissez-faire capitalism these last 25 years. We've already had it for several decades now!
We already have minimal tax! We already have a deregulated labor market! Education, transport, hospitals, roads, utilities, are already privately owned and operated! The red tape required to start and run a new business is already so minimal it's hardly worth bothering about! Capital gains tax is already a relic of the past! Money is already based on an objective market standard! Governments and Central Banks stopped trying to manipulate currencies and credit back in some dark, distant bygone age!
And it's all these sorts of unspeakable (if not invisible) chooks - which have been going on for so long - that have now come home to roost, thereby bringing us the current (with the worst still yet come) Global Financial Crisis.
Okay, now I get it.
But although I sneer at the absurdity of all this and much else which Kevin Rudd (and his associates) have written in this lengthy essay, such a reaction is not enough. It is merely my gut reaction. Mainly revulsion.
In fact this essay needs to be studied in depth. Both for what it says and for what it suggests. We should not ignore it, dismiss it or turn away in disgust from it. We should not minimize its signficance by saying "Aw he doesn't really mean that" ... or ... "He's just talking meaningless symbolism."
As we learned a few weeks ago when studying the Broken Windows Theory (i.e. allowing one window to remain broken will bring about a thousand broken windows) ideas and actions do not need to persuade in order to triumph. They don't even need to make sense. The best friends of evil are indifference, apathy, and inaction. Not to mention tolerance and friendliness.
Join me tonight as we embark on a deep study of Kevin Rudd's assault on liberty. Everything we learn, everything we clarify, every item of intellectual ammunition you acquire at this session, you'll be able to use elsewhere.
In the dismal years ahead you'll need all the ammo you can grab. Ammo is what this session will be all about. Intellectual Ammo "R" Us".
