Mangled Thoughts

It is evident, when he runs out of nuts he forages out for more nuts and, answering the urgent call, stops and has piss, into the wind.

For those who, by now can endure Rudd’s drivel, like Latham’s, here is a link

To be sure, he said something sane for once, one agrees:

“these are serious matters being raised by serious people“

It’s just that Rudd isn’t one of them, perhaps he was acknowledging his limitations and, as Dirty Harry said,` A man as got to know his limitations’. It’s seems cruel to press further with the obvious but one can’t resist the temptation, the bar of limits are low for chipmunks.

So low words like mendacious, venal, craven are fathomed sharply , in view of
nasty little comments which also happen to be false , like:

Mr Howard is one of the co-administrators of Iraq as we speak.

He often chooses not to ignore that fact when it comes down to difficult matters such as this.

Therefore, Mr Downer shouldn’t run for cover tonight, as he seems to be.

As for Taiwan, well squealer, Taiwan is a country independent of China.The note of cowardice makes all too plain which arses of Asia Latham and Rudd will lick, those belonging to the members of the Peking Geriatrics club: they will be to them what Clinton was, the rent boy in Washington: heck, for far less money, they would receive two rent boys in Canberra.

And wheezing on about `international U.N. obligations and Toffee Man Anan is a no no. Chipmunk and Flapperman are, again, scrambling up the wrong tree - the hole in the trunk is no nest, it is loaded with the tnt of the civilised west out to finish that pack of lying criminals and friends of worse, once and for all, ou to shut them down and kick them of the river of money stolen from the hapless victims of thieiving stasiland govts. like those also in OZ.

It can’t be when so many others are very much like them, even bosom pals when it comes to leftoid spin and lies.

Arthur Chrenkoff has pulled one more, in a long list of lies, distortions, out right proganda services including for the greenies put out by mainstream media. This is an expample with a twist, and not just that the article is so crude that it really doesn’t take an editor to spot, what Knightly might be banging on about , good reporting is not it. No, the curiousity is, it was published by the Bulletin, a c.a. Oz weekly which fancies it is a few cuts above the mainstream major news outlets: not if you can publish leftoid distorters of truth get away with bilge.

“Too few good sub-editors” - why Phillip Knightley keeps getting away with bull****

What is disturbing is, the sheer number of major news outlets which publish the words of demonstrated leftoid liars, epitomised by the Pilgers, Fisks, and Phuc Phils of this world. Disturbing because it is frequent, pervasive and insidious. One is reminded of Russells criticisms of Dewey and others: truth to those types is whatever serves their beliefs on the day , and that is, as Russell wrote just one plank in the road to totalitarianism.

On the hand, the capciaty to call lies truth and truth lies is one shared with poltiicans like those in Spring St. and in Sydney, anything to advance the cause of almighty stasi-land govt., and applies to Latham also. Bob Brown excels cum laude.

A.N.S.W.E.R. is the principal of `anti-globalisation’ and `anti-war, peace demonstrations in Oz too, around whomgather clerics who define the content of christianity as communism and the usual suspects.

Protest Warrior recorded in secret a meeting of A.N.S.W.E.R. and filmed, and it was chilling to watch. A transcript is provided, some gems quoted below:

A.N.S.W.E.R. INFILTRATED

We have traveled from all over the country, some of us thousands of miles, to stand here and analyze where we are as a movement and where we need to go to build a stronger movement to stand shoulder to shoulder with our sisters and brothers [ Cubans, Arab terrorists] who are on the front lines with the struggle against empire.

WOMAN:
. . . the next step in a longer process initiated by the ultra right-wing foreign policy team in the White House and the Pentagon who seek to overthrow the Cuban government and return Cuba to a state of colonialism. The global anti-war movement that now exists in all countries can, through its united actions, strengthen solidarity with the Cuban people at this critical hour. We encourage people to consider federal buildings and other central locations for demonstrations in your city or town.

OLD MAN:
I hate to point out that the Constitution itself sucks; there’s a lot wrong with it. There’s no right to healthcare, no right to education, no right to jobs, none of that is in there. Racism, anti-gay bigotry, none of that is outlawed by the Constitution. Those are the things that need to be in a real peoples’ constitution. It’s important to point out because we keep defending the Constitution, but it’s a Constitution that’s extremely weak and does not represent what people need. And when we defend the Constitution we have to go one step further and say “this is what a real constitution should look like.”
BLACK WOMAN:
It really clarified things when the economy starts to you know go sour and I actually picked up a copy of Communist Manifesto and started reading what Marx said, that every ten years there’s a boom and bust system, and it’s like, “Oh okay, I get it!” You know like I read it before and didn’t get it, it didn’t apply, you know? And now that I read it again it applies! It’s like, “Oh okay, I get it!” You know, I think.

Also, some of you have gone around suggesting that, we’ve held all this protesting; it doesn’t seem as though the administration is listening. So you know, why don’t we just pick a day where everybody just withdraws their money from banks, just massively just go up to their money, go to banks, get their money out, and hold it for a weekend?

You know, that’s something that we can do, you know? People can do, they can do it quietly so they don’t have to go to a protest or anything you know, just do it. And you know, just don’t buy anything for a few hours, and say, say you know, “We’ve against this administration, so why should we contribute, you know, to the economy of this country?”

Proteswarrior makes some telling comments such as:

The only people struggling for self-determination and civil liberties are the unlucky souls trapped in the Muslim and socialist despotisms that you are obsessed with preserving and defending, you hypocrites.

Funny how they choose to convene in the country they most despise, the epicenter of capitalism no less. I guess they need the creature and material comforts of America so they can better devote themselves to the plight of the masses. Just like Hillary needs her mansion while she wants the rest of us to pay, pay, pay for her socialist schemes, or the pigs in Animal Farm need all the apples and milk so they could run the farm better, strictly for the good of their subjects, of course. Dictators always live like kings while they demand sacrifice and duty from the rest of us.

That sums up also, also the Spring St Spivs, the Carr govt. and Bob Brown and his fellow polpotians, and Latham’s natioanl socialist vision for Australia which includes this bit of fat god almighty nanny state god rot:

Mentor makes a mark
Michael Harvey, chief politics reporter

FILLING the gap created by family breakdowns is behind a $33 million Labor plan to help teenagers make the difficult leap into adulthood.

Federal Opposition Leader Mark Latham yesterday said erosion of the extended family and increased teacher workloads was making the transition even harder.

Speaking in Traralgon, Mr Latham promised a Labor government would create an extra 10,000 qualified mentors, who would be volunteer “specialist coaches” in the area of life skills.

The major policy builds on the $3 million Buddy-Up program announced on Wednesday to get more male role models into schools.

Mr Latham said there was insufficient funding and co-ordination for the many mentor programs already running.

Labor’s plan would create a national mentoring foundation, which would distribute funding and advice to community organisations.

Mr Latham said no more than 2.5 per cent of government funding would be spent on running the foundation.

“This is something for our young men and women of the nation . . . building a bridge between the younger generation and older citizens who can help out,” he said.

The only bridge which needs to be built is over socialistos, a wide one made of cement 200 feet thick.

Needless to say, socialistos pretending to be farmers can get along just as well with Latham as the other socialist parties of the Coalition:

Opposition Leader Mark Latham said it was suitable compensation for an industry that was excluded from the proposed free trade agreement because of the Howard Government’s bungled talks.

Latham was commenting on wahta swell idea of the govt it is to keep sugar cane growers into the lifestyle which is, evidently, theirs by some divine right.

Gnu-hunter reports on the greenies effort to squish `Stealth‘.

The Land and Environment Court has effectively supported those locals who have claimed the nearby wilderness area as their own exclusive domain.

The detail which also stands out is: another stasiland court, set up by commie thugs pretending to be civilised. Carr and Bracks, they must be from the same inbred families who made the sort of gangsters called govts and such like possible in Europe in the 20th century.

Certainly in Victoria, three major claims have been strung together to buttress big fat almighty god govt., to which is added a more recent one already debunked, govt. spending on schools and `health’ is investment.:

1) Only govt consumtpion can ensure children receive a schooling when the facts are, before govts. muscled in, by the late 19th century, 80-90 ppercent of children in Britain andd U.S. were not only being schooled but to exacting standards and rigour than today.

2) children can’t succeed until the usual mantra is realised of `social justice’ `egalitarainism’ and so forth, a mantra which preserves dumbed down things produced en masse by the monster zoos called titcharse colleges

3) another reason children in govt schools fails, govts. have to pump more money into them; and, obviously, for teachers to overcome their glaring defects as scholars and then teachers, they must be paid very large incomes like Bracksie Wacksie is now stealing out of real taxpayers pockets viz the 12% pay rise which is thus a tad understated of what the real burden will be.

The following article puts paid to claim 3

That’s not really a surprise. “Over the range of spending commonly observed among school systems in the United States, the effect on student achievement is often swamped by how wisely the money is spent, by bureaucratic and contract rigidities, and by a host of important policies and decisions that have nothing at all to do with money. The fact is that most research finds, after controlling for demographic factors, no consistent causal relationship between expenditures and achievement over the current range of spending levels.”

In New York, which ranks at the top nationwide in school spending, the Commission for Education Reform recommended a 17 to 39 percent increase in spending to settle the funding equity suit. The commission relied on the School Evaluation Services unit of Standard & Poor’s, which based its estimate on spending at “successful” schools, with extra money added to serve low-income, disabled and non-English-speaking students. The spending gap was estimated at $2.45 billion to $5.57 billion. Analysts warned that “there is no guarantee that the replication of higher spending . . . will replicate higher achievement . . . across the state.”

Simply adding more money to a dysfunctional system produces higher-priced dysfunction.

The classic example is the District of Columbia school system, which ranks with the top states in spending and at the bottom in performance. D.C.’s public system spends about $11,000 per student. Yet, according to the 2003 National Assessment of Educational Progress, only seven percent of D.C. fourth graders are proficient or better in math, 10 percent in reading; 6 percent of eighth graders are proficient in math, 10 percent in reading. A majority of students test below the basic level in reading and math. Money doesn’t buy literacy.

An irony is to be observed: socialistos including the clergy continually slander libertarians as greedy, uncaring, selfish materialists. Well, in view of such interesting findings, let the socialistos work for less, even no money .

Oz teachers colleges turn out thousands of the vertically challenged who can never come to grips with why so many parents are fed up to the gills and zoos called schools. N.Z. pundit’s anecdote underscores, since it is writ many times over in Oz, why throwing more monet at schhols extorted from real taxpayers won’t change a thing:

Utter Horseshit

The local schools are holding a ‘Social Sciences Fair’ and for some, inexplicable reason, my daughter’s school, which remains my last hope for her to receive a decent education, has entered their students in the damned thing.

Teachers love social studies and suchlike because they’re easy to teach. No actual knowledge required.

Anyway this is the project.
