Senator brandis was proper to state in the Senate this week the greens is no mere party of nutters. The force of the Greens position is totalitarianism tending to a Pol Potian return to the otherwise nonsencial (mudder) nature.That environmental movements have been bound up with totalitarian regimes, the Nazi government, then by patronage the former regime of the USSR, is no mere chance.

Dr.George Reismann has set out a fundamental solid case against environmentalism, on economic grounds.

Ross Clark in his Banned Wagon Column, The Spectator,(18/10),has provided another example of the thuggery of environmentalists.

Greenies claim, ExxonMobil hasn’t spent “‘one penny’ on research into renewable energy.’ A howler of a lie.ExxonMobil has `spent $500millions(U.S.D.) in the 1980’s. The results: zip, a waste of money and so effort.

The Greenies, of course, let neither science nor facts stand in the way of telling lies, as on `global warming’ and that bit of toilet paper, Kyoto.Nor the law when it comes to carnage and mayhem.The thugs are, apparently, gluing stickers to cars and homes near Esso petrol stations with the cry, `Stop Esso’.

One has a view as to who should be stopped and it is certainly not Esso.

Not having written an obituary before one shall try to make this one as fulsomely gossipy as a good brief obit should.

Regrets are not usual sentiments on the passing of thehe dearly loved but, alas, short-lived firend. Commiserations to the thier nearest and dearest usually the order of the day. I expect them, dear reader, for ,with a tear in the old twinkling blue pearlies and a sniffle from the nostrils,I mark with deep felt regret the passing of a dear friend.

Quiet, unassuming, engaging and ever hospitable, one’s friend and comfort passed away last night. And one slept! Slept on through the night only to awake this morning to unhappy news.Yes, the vacation died at the stroke of 12.

For its fleeting life, it gave much pleasure, including some happy sized murdered trout and salmon.Good food, wine, and the weather it was warmer and less drear than the the torrential rains, gales, and hurricane force winds which whipped the sea-board from Melbourne to sydney.

So,I lied about the gossipy bit.Out of consideration only, shouldn’t like to stir up unsaintly sentiments like, bastard.

I’ve just read an econ paper, in summary layman’s form.Hoosiers are, mendicants, they ensure all tax-guzzling govts continue on their way.

Hoosier’s requires defintion, since slang.This is one for someone U.S., so could they post column:
Subject: Hoosiers
Content: definition
: plus accompanying graphics/ engineers plans, architectural
drawings, or all of these
: philology and etymology of Hoosiers, declension of - in view of the
above citation in the article, appreciating it might also refer to
Lap top dancing gal bars.

Before the scholar who would edify does so, readers might add further items of definition.

The minister for health is wrong, the government is responsible for the failing budget of medicare. Wrong, because medicare is itself the problem. The insurance bills faced by doctors is partly bound up with medicare, as well as litigious law firms.Medical services are consumption items full stop.Medicare generates, therefore, two sets of problem, though they are tied, economics and finance.Both terms , in view of the escalating costs of Australia’s variant of an NHS, devolves on the takeover of medical services under the command consumption economy of Medicare. The divorce of supply from market pricing , and, the notion of `rational economics’ is ordering and direction of concrete facts and not theory of action, are the twin culprits.

The last contention is summed up by the vulgar usage of system. Used as a metaphor to picture the relationships btween law and economics, for example, is fine to simplify things before arriving at robust theory. One can proceed to add things like language, conventions informing the business of government and so forth.This is something quite lost on sociologists, whose assumption is , to be blunt, primitive tribalism.The irony is, tribal custom, can be pictured in the same way.For what law, economy, medicine, any enterprise, are not, are mere concrete reality, a block which can be altered and shaped at whim.They are due to human action.

What theory discloses is, what informs action is abstract.Nothing concrete about what informs and guides action at all.The analogy with physics is more than just good,thoery illuminates and lifts out and formulates the intuition into, precisely , theorems of action,just physics theory is a very good approximatin of the principles of this universe.What does physics show: a universe which is given out of `spontaneously occurring interactions’ ( the notion of `chaos’) and so also formations and so forth.All possible because of very few , abstract principles informing all those things.`Evolution’ , as a rough and ready term, simply observes that of `living things’ also.

That is what common law is, in a nutshell, very good theorems of human action, hence, the ground of common law is economics, that of open, free commerce.Common law is not, therefore, fact bound , not ends connected which includes attempts to direct and redistribute according to aims which, in sentiment might be fine,but inevitably yields not just corruption of markets , but totalitarian government.

Not autarchy, not the centrally planned, economy, not the directed economy though using, formally, does the work of price guided alone markets.That last possibility, central directions using markets , notionally of markets, to do the work, sums up much of government polcies from the 80’s to the current government’s efforts in central planning, including medicare and, to add, `universites’, right through to industry sectors.

Medical service are not an homologous `whole’, the `holistic’ superstitious notion which underpins the otherwise nonesenical `health system’ and `medicare’.From general practice, to high level specialities, medicine can only be summary noun for quite diverse things. Added to which,subsidiary things like nursing, hotel accomodation of patients in hospitals and any other thing which might be deployed.A hospital itself simply provides a framework for an agglommeration of services, because, unless there is abetter way of running some things, it is more efficent to run some things in such institutions.

An agglomeration of different markets it can be said, even though some arerelated.From the initial visit to the G.P. , a patient ends up in the operating bed having something ripped out of them.

Each week another tid-bit of a surprise suggestive of the line one holds, the new Euro-regime will be totaliatarian.It certainly won’t fix up the economic mess generated by Europe’s socialist governments. In France and Germany, capital is divesting at quite a pace, and the already millions long lines of the unemployed continue to multiply.The only types prospering are the politicians and the armies of `salaried’ mendicants who constitute a mountainous hurdle to reform.

On politicians, The Spectator recently ran an article to the effect: it is most likely Chirac keeps a mistress, or several, and some bastards he has fathered on them.This, inclusive of apartments to house his hobby, at real-taxpayers expense.Whether Chirac has, one or a whole harem of mistresses, his business.Not, however when it involves raking off of good ol taxable to keep his pleasures contented and in the `lifestyle’ which, undoubtedly, like their master, they too feel entitled too. Communisto boors like Chirac, why Western Europe is collapsing into an economic depression straight out of hell is no mystery.And then there is Schroeder.Enough said.

Back to totalitarianism . Another mark of the totalitarian is no petty detail is petty to them.Any chance to control, extract, coerce, they take it.Ditto communisto dribblers like that pack of losers in Spring St., they take it. After all, they want to be liked and to proclaim themselves saviours of the human race, mudder nature ( even though that evil bitch is an evil bitch), and philanthropist to all and sundry.

So we have it. The modest Euro family’s holiday, those in France and Germany and Britain who, courtesy of their communist governments , still have enough of the doings to afford one , are to be hit by, under Super Euro Govt., with a holiday tax. It is still to be enacted,therefore might not be but my money is on, it will be imposed.

It might seem modest, a hundred pounds.Well, that is several hundred $Aust.One can more than just imagine, if imposed, not a few families will be holidaying in their back yards in future. Many Australians might will relate to the force of that.Hands up all, if Oz govt. were to impose a tax,your holiday destination will be camping out in your backyard?

Buggers, the communist boors that is.

The electricity output of windmills is bugger all of zippo.The North Europeans realised that, though they don’t mind making a bit of out every come in spinner govt flush, like the Spivs in Spring St., those in Downing St,with ready access to taxpayers’ notebook to buy expensive birdkilling machines.
And eco-terrorists whinge and whine about chaps who like to bear the old side by side on duck meat.Unlike windmilling govts., hunters spend a bit of money making swamps hospitable.

Bizarre science carries 2 links, one to Germany’s high voltage u-turn on windmills and one to something called a planet ark.

The Germans have discovered `it is a bottomless pit of money’ and the demmned things are plain `noisy, ugly and a danger to bird life’.Mind, they still crap on about `renewable energy’, nonsense it is, hoping 10 years of more truckloads of money will amke something renewable - how about debt ?

Meanwhile,in Spain, where Quixote’s lunatic rode a carcass followed by a dwarf sticking to the tried and true method of permabulation, holding onto his ass, villagers are keen to stick something long and pointy up the buttocks of the government intent on building a windfarm somewhere around the town.The comical touch is provided by those pol potian communistos, the greenies:

Because they can be seen they provoke a reaction, which is something that does not happen with most power plants that pollute.
… the main concern of Greenpeace is to get rid of energy that could end life on this planet.

The second sentence is too obvious, try the sun, volcanoes, tornadoes, killer asteroids.Plants - shit, they produce lots of planet destroying energy.I.e. to those not quite up on the take, anything that produces energy must destroy the planet sooner or later, energy being the number one enemy to planet slavery.Perhaps the greenies will lead by example and top themselves now, that certainly would reduce energy usage some ks. /annum.

Against the evidence, Bracksie wacksie, the commie fucktard brained socialist, wants to make Vic. a tribute to that bit of Crapola by whacking up those sumpholes, windmills, and has , as Bolt bolted back, ensured ugliness on the landscape marrs the greenie vision splendid.Plus a few thousand birdy carcasses splattered over all and sundry.

But how much can this really cost.

The cleanest and quite cheap and quite safe means of electricity generation, reactors, Toy Boy Blair and his bunch of thieving commies in govt. have imposed so many regulations as to price reactors out of business. In the name of toilet paper Kyoto he has punished other sources, on top of which stands `pollution’ excise on petrol, flight and other harmless means of transport and energy usage.So much so, Britain faces a major shortage in supply, all due to the greenie buggering govt.

But the news gets worse.Blair’s Trade and Industry secretary , a Patricia Hewitt
has declared licences for some thousands of `offshore wind-farm turbines’ - I suppose this is what the greenies mean by `invisible’, at an estimate of 6billion pounds. This figure seems a tad understated but one will let it go.

No, one won’t. because , taken with all the other measures, the economic losses due to the British socialistos, the L.P., are weighing in already and by the end, childs pocket money will seem the stuff of avarice.

The lesson:Victorians, screw the Spring St communistos before they send you right down the begarly streets of poverty, and the hell hole which is greenies’ fantasia.

The two arguments against disentangling the tentacles from government are false.The first is, major commercial t.v. ops. would be vulnerable to competition, viz advertising revenues, as well as suffering automatic write-down on capital value viz elimination of broadcasting licences.The second `is diversity’ of opinion, but this is wrong, on two counts also.

If the licences fees and band constrictions were not in force, along with payroll taxes, capital gains tax, content restrictions and so forth, it would remain, the capital scale required to run the ops of channels 7,9, and 10 are such, it would be a fool who rushes in with the billions or so to set up another T.V. station on that scale.One can imagine an entrpeneur setting up soemthing of sectioanl appeal, but that would be contingent upon whether that potential market would face demand sufficient to yield profit.Of course, it might well be the case, an entrepeneur might discover a direct challenge to the existing majors is feasible, by offering something better than the majors currently do. And, even if the last is true, govts. have no business in saving any company from such a possibility, in any sector.And not least because of the costs protectionism involves: it may be there are too amny TV stations inview of the market,so capital has been malinvested; and the elimination of alternative uses of bandwidths, ditto radio band width.

As for media diversity, simply put, the major revenue base is advertising, but journalism is required to advertise and sell a newspaper: after all, the object is to have as many consumers as possible to read the rag and thus read the advertising as well as the columns.On that count, journos are hired for what they write, irrespective of whether magnates and their C.E.O.s agree with the content or not.

The cry of `diversity’ however, coming from Fat Aunty Bolshevik Collective, SMH, The Maos’ Age and so forth, rings hallow. The great bogeyman is Rupert Murdoch.Not to worry, NCP rags like The Australian, Fin Review, don’t diverge much at all from the leftoid view of many things, and not the Keynesian fake money printing beliefs of the likes of Davidson and others.The Fin Review is as equally a pile of rotting vegetables economic as the Age is.

Brookes News has covered in detail the malevolent reportage carried by The Australian.And points out, given a choice between profits or dismissing lying leftoid journos, Murdoch retains them, as capitulated in this article: Murdoch’s hyprocrisy and Beijing’s Tyrants.

The Catholic Encyclopedia claims the Church was a mjor source for common law.Utter rot, the church was obstacle and the cost of Beckett’s victory from the grave persisted into the 19th century. The second hurdle Henry II faced was his leige Lord the king of France, and, some of his magnates and minor barons opposed to standardisation of law in terms of common law, under the highest authorities in England, courts Chancellory. Many of the priniples of common law were generated then.The common law induced economic liberalisation such that even serfs were far better of than their continental counter parts -not to say the life of an English serf was thus hunky dory altogether, just better off.
The sources of common law , given the slim evidence for its origins, one traces back largely to commercial towns.This corresponds with the glaring point, the ground of common law is economic liberty ; in stark contrast today with penchant of governments of each tier to overthrown common law through imposition of daministrative rules asserted as identical with law, many of which, indirectly corrupt freedom of contracts, fix prices, set up barriers - one more reason why the ACCC is a first rate joke but not a joke in its police state like approach to things.

The above is only to lead into the obvious, Australian clerics are besotted with vulgar humbuggery, like asserting `the sermon on the mount is a profound doctoral dissertation on economics’ which is what the clerisy position amounts to. Difficult to believe one could say it but, many a cleric is in need of a Sir Humphrey Appleby just to check them.

In the case of a former Ang.A.B., definitely. His call for parents to withdraw their children to Victorian government schools, at a time when the Cain-Kirner govts were finishing the final conversion of the same into the zoos they now are, was met with overwhelming silence. OUt of respect only, one assumes, melbourne and Victoria did not thunder with waves of rolling laughter.

As this gem, Uncle of ABC Watch zeroes in on and, ha, the global ambitions of the Ang.A.B. of Sydney, neatly distils, clerics never learn.

Rowan Williams is a very fine theologian.His Phd is no honorific.Will jensen decalre war against Spong, too?
As for `moral authority’, Oz clerics seem rather confused.Their authority is rests only not simply apostolic succession but, the pivot, whether they are `apostololic’. It might be noted, the philosopher Copplestone S.J. discovered the flaw too late during the proceedings of the debate with Lord Bertrand Russell, though on the subject of physics.

Jenson must be a gnostic, like the A.B. who declared it is the clerical duty to assert what god orders. Gnosticism, is superstition in the strict definition of the word, rendering, perforce, not a few clerics heretics.Is the A.B. of Sydney a heretic, pray tell?

To be fair, clerics are not the ones guilty of superstition: big bruvver central planners, socialists , greenies, are also irrational, superstitious humbuggers who hold all and all good things in contempt ,excepting themselves and their own interests; which implies, underneath all their unctious handwringing,they are selfish, greedy brats.

The linked article neatly summarises a few ramifications of almighty government and their agencies equipped with police-state like powers.

Via EPA, ESA and tarriffs, effectively, market in lumber has been corrupted. By coercion, supply has been reduced. ESA and EPA have induced what can be called corruption viz the company which has acted to close out competing suppliers of lumber by using ESA and its police powers to shut down operations.Compounding all this , the US governments commandeering of much of available products, further driving prices higher.

It is a neat illustration because it encapsulates so many things which are to be observed accross a borad range of interests, not only in the U.S. but in Australia. And one will say, in terms of corruption, on the whole, the root of corruption including of businesses, is government intervention, control, and spend and tax.The federal government’s inquiry into corruption in the building industry amplifies things further, not the inquiry, but why corruption at all.
What Beazely outlined in his speech would only compound much of the rot.

Von Mises org also carries an article comparing Greenspan to an orcle.Amusing and yet, strikingly apt.

Labour Party Conference: Blair on floor defends himself on the core, the government must make difficult, unpopular decisions.

The context, of course, is Gulf War II, which is unfortunate.For the Blair Natioanl Socialist Party ( viz.Captain Kockup) Party has, on the domestic scene, done many `popular’ things, expending real tax-payers assets on the great sacred cows favoured by socialist governments, and much more besides.

It is ironic, the matter which can sink Blair is that of Dr.Kelly.The British Bolshevik Collective walks away somewhat free: Gilligan only has a blot recorded in his copy book - like the silly bitch who pumped hard to have children play around and drape a rotting missile, and Marr does the appropriate hand-washing. Nothing to do with, Marr, the reason the crapperess pulled that stunt because that amounts also to the inventiveness required of ABC employees - all in the good cause of course.

This reminds me of the other village idiot journo - oh heck, another stupid bitch, who, in an `exclusive’ ,sreamed repeatedly at Wooldridge, `you’ve destroyed the system’ .Yes folks, screamed replete with high pitched, emotion charged voice, `Youv’e destroyed..’ Oh, Iv’e just recollected, she added the variation, `wrecked’. There is a jolly nice song which runs:

`Wrecked, Wrecked, out on the ocean deep…’;

That stupid communoid bitch, to guess, would regard it as elitist, imperialist sentiment and, ditto, Captain Kockup from his 2002 speech who; in his parlaimenatary performances was, still is, a screacher - had to turn the volume down when it was Mr.Blowhard’s turn to speak in `debate’.

There are plenty of reasons why Blair and the LP should be sacked from govt. It is horrid to agree, his govt. did the right thing viz.WWII.

Oh, that great murdering bastard, Gerry Adams is receiving free ABC time to indulge his usual crap about why some acts of murder are justified as opposed to others: he’s advertising his bio which should be entitled:

How to be a complete savage, `human’, and get it away with the help of communistos like LP, Clinton and the Democratic Party and a few other savages, including from down under.
