Mangled Thoughts

Yes, so accurate are the findings for their predictive power that one simply has to persist, making for a Triune Chair at Balliol - Gnaius-Kings of Science, Philosophy and Greats, titled, Professor of Everything in the Universe, with sundry benefits such as lucrative speaking circuits, consultancies and the sundry general run of boons - spymaster, adviser to the Exchequer - ( “Yes, Mr. Chancellor, they’re the sort of 20 digit numerals I like to see in my packet”) . I’m awaiting my first cheque, bye the bye, send it soon or else I’ll sic a U.S. litigation expert onto the various paymasters and Gordon Brown, who won’t receive any advice whatsoever unless he stumps up with the first honorific lump sum. But lets’ not mention such things, though nice to have like, money, money and money and yet, oddly enough, this impolite subjects leads into this issue of the series, Nostrilsdamus.

Great man was old Nostrils, Bogey to his pals and pet taipan - I wonder if her name was Joanna. Great brain, must have been, what, high on coke and rum, staring into space and seeing many a thing to come, Einstein is a midget. Enough of the eulogy stuff - do you smoke dope upstairs Bogey - if so, you could shoot me a few missives, having served some great penmen rather well, I’d like to cash in too - there’s the m. word again.

Rudyard Kipling on, the “Immodest Left”, My Son’s Wife, The Mother Hive .

Leftoids never spare any opportunity to demonstrate their anti-consumerist and anti capitalist credentials. Proof positive, it’s nice being on a govt. payroll, nothing capitalist about that and, even nicer, it leaves unbroken one leg of Morton’s fork, capitalistos really just have pots of gold stashed away. The leftoid belief really is nothing more than, money grows on trees, or some fucking Irish dwarf shimmies out of his peat bed and plonks a pot of gold right under daffodils and, arising at the civil hour, fat capitalisto strolls through the gardens,puffing on a cigar with brandy in hand, making straight for the daffodil harbour to collect. Leftoids are able to hold to such mysteries because fat god thieving almighty govt. has made that a reasonable proposition to hold, the entrenchment and expansion of fat god almighty govt relies, indeed, on there being a very large number of idiots, fools and villains who can’t wait to have a jolly good , greedy hog feed courtesy of governments, politicians really, willing to engage in large scale extortion, blackmail, theft and fraud ( forging money), which, on the other hand, for instance, is why capital is beginning to fly out of Victoria and why unemployment where it counts, in business, is now on the rise and picking up a head of steam - not that disturbs even the Reverendress Bronwyn Pike. She, after all, believes in money trees and gold pot flinging dwarves, and that capitalistos are nasty, cruel types, who hoard and prevent types like her grabbing hold of ` free stuff’ called money ( that is also another of leftoids’ notions of money), and is a good commie herself.

The rise of monstrous govt in Oz and Britain is a post WWII thing, though politicians and armies of hopeful boondogglers used the pea souper fog of the two world wars to prepare the outlines of what they all too soon acted on. Not in Kipling’s day. Leftoids aspired but, there was no hope for realising absent of obliging politicians in office. They might have despised capitalistos, as well as all others who they found disagreeable and often those hated adhering to other hues of socialism, but happy enough to take all they could from those they regarded with the contempt the true elitist, in the pejorative sense of elitist, musters every day.

PETA and Newkirk are upshots of leftoid misanthropy. Even the Blair L.P. Govt., the darlings of the London leftoid fashionable set, declared PETA to be far too left, rather as terrorists are so regarded, to bandy words with and, generally show them the generosity of civil courtesy, a contradiction in lefties really; socialism is not civilised, it is nothing less than barbaric tribalism writ large . So, what on earth was he fooling around with when he handed PETA one of the many items on their pol potian list of things to do, the banning of fox hunting. Yet, not just PETA, the ban was a cherished wish of the fashionable London Leftoid set, nicely illustrated by photographs and film footage of such types popping bottles of pink champagne all around London.

The same is to be observed of greenies’ causes. Inner city urban wombats, for instance, who are convinced of the fantasy Mudder Nature is man’s alter ego in feminine form, of course, as an innocent nymph which is being raped by nasty capitalisto man ( which only shows, when stupidity reigns reason falls, for the bitch is an old crone, even if it has, according to that rot, been `raped’, no young virginal nymph is Mudder Nature). They are `professionals’, on good to better income streams, who do not have to dirty their hands . An example of that was the bercycle brigade and their plan to block Burnley tunnel, City Link road, Melbourne, which was, ha ha ha, thwarted.

Thursday, someone drew attention to, they were described as `professionals’. Implausible though that seems, it turned out to be not far off at all. News report of the failed `demonstration’ showed clean cut, well dressed young men, ladies, families, visibly disappointed that they were not, for once , allowed to break the law by blocking a road. One of these inner city `professional’ wombats, in an expensive suit, declared to the news cameras, ` We have a vision for the future, a new way, a new mode for roads and the city, involving people riding bicycles everywhere through the city.’ At that point, I wanted to throw a brick at the brat of a blubbing mummy’s boy, the selfish, nasty little bastard, even if he is a nice little sodding professional. Not just sodding professional wombats, however, nor just of govt. zoos schools, but in `Christian schools’, U.C., Anglican and Catholic, the garbage of the greens and the usual socialisto litany of tripe, `social justice, equality, dah environment, nasty capitalisto West…hard done by Islamo-Fascist-ban Christmas and Christ- for world harmony’ is drummed into many little shits every day every week every year. Oh yes, to quote one apostolic pastor’s remarks, on the signs of sanctity of the senior girls of a leading `Christian College’ ;

`I was moved by their demonstration of the contemplative life, of piety, compunction, devotion to Christ and the Blessed Trinity: divine grace manifest in young lives.

I investigated more, through discussion. Yes, they were moved by heart rending travails: how bad the evil capitalist west is; the unjust cruel assault upon the environment… the disadvantaged … the third world.

They heaved such heavy sighs, they spoke of how compassionate they felt about such things and expressed their desire all should be as they are. The girls were so touched, so absorbed with their consciences and holiness I nearly wept out of shame and hypocrisy.

Yet, I was also moved to consider, they are the children of reliable parents who have established good homes. They enjoy good food, holidays, books, food, pocket money, school, past-times, clubs. They can look forward to engaging in things profitable to them, a very pleasant life all things considered. In fact, I was so struck by their odd, solipsistic beliefs and concerns that I was lead down an altogether different line of reflection.

The hypocrisy of spoilt little brats who are ignorant of things worth learning, but fully schooled in a self-centred litany of not Christian rubbish . The shame of Christian schools filled with teachers who inculcate such barbaric, and unchristian bilge.

I arrived at a rather odd and disturbing conclusion. The girls, it can be said, are not only not Christian, Christ is a complete mystery to them.

Far from being saints, they are nasty, selfish, ignorant juveniles and one is supposed to administer to them, in service to Grace, the grace which only comes from the Blessed Trinity, the Chrism of the Holy Spirit, through the rite of Confirmation. Grace, and the rite is no `rite du passage’ and I am rather loathe to administer to such shallow, nasty brats.’

It is not only girls, it is boys who walk out of schools filled with such prurient rubbish. Indeed, of `christian schools’ it is a scandal, not christian at all. Nor, however, should the culpability of govt. be ignored in all this, for all tiers of govt .have induced and entrenched such shallow, barbaric beliefs, form Govts’. departments, such as EPAs, through states’ govts’. departments of `education’, and Federal govt. through `universities. Leftist beliefs, though rubbish, have been entrenched not because of merit but because politicians find it very convenient, it buttresses their totalitarian inclinations. As Mr. John Howard says, politicians act on pragmatic considerations, not theory.

Amusingly,` pragmatism’ is but the cultic creed of the cult of power and the quest for power, entirely inimical to civilisation, it debases civilisation. Yet, that is also another article of the Leftoid little credo, acquisition of power to rule over others, for that way, only in that way, can fine types show themselves in their true philanthropic colours: for, how can anyone do anything for anyone unless first handed power and “be empowered” (ugly leftoid expression that) to do great things, the power to compel, to tax, to achieve great ends and copious amounts of compassion and social justice, and to make mudder nature feel like a young virginal nymph once again. We can be assured of it:

Every time a leftoid blows a nostril, and a twinky schoolgirl/boy sheds a tear, down otherwise unsmiling faces, some poor bastard under a totalitarian regime claps their hands in joy, junior schools’ pupils , in the twinkling of an eye, made distinguished professors, solving all problems which are in play and those yet to come. A bureaucrat waves an arm, takes some more property, and, presto, all are declared prosperous. A politician bellows , it’s all true, we have cruelly treated mudder nature, but at the elevation of my arm, all evil doers shall cease their pillage and rape, and all will, from now on and for ever and ever hereafter, be well : I have made nature pure again ( Bob Carr, Steve Bracks, even the Howard led Coalition Govt.).

A core aspect of the unholy alliance between the left and almighty fat god govt. is the conviction of their possession of a high morality, precisely the same presumption of those who formed the great totalitarian regimes of the twentieth Century. High moral notions were one of the major motives of both France and Germany taking the world into WWI ( yes, France was as culpable as Germany for the war the world did not need to have - and yes, they asserted it was morally necessary - to save the world from the evil chaos of economic freedom and thus general civil liberty). The above holy litany is the same, a lofty moral sentiment concealing nothing but downright contempt for anyone but themselves, and the aim to suborn as many as possible to themselves and that really is what the phrases, `national good…interest’ amounts to.The individual, to the contrary, is the highest end, in fact, that is crucial to the Christian creed, and thus the freedom of the individual. Coupled to it, is a miserable, puritanical propensity to kill others’ pleasures, joys and happiness, those not prescribed according to Lefttoid and Fat God Almighty Govt’s. lists of approved delights such as, handing over to them on pain of jail sentence all worldly goods, as Blair’s ban on fox hunting involves and thus amply attests.

The leftist are the real elitists, in the pejorative sense. Their self styled rejection of authority ( as opposed to authoritarianism, which one rejects), `hierarchy’ and profit, sails oddly to their rather transparent avid desire to profit, by stealing, by the agency of govt., to enjoy greedily a happy life. Their assertion of dictatorial authoritarianism, from the over-throw of the rule of common law in favour of diktat to political correctness, is naked as well as coarse. Their constant efforts to assert their superiority over others, reflected in the rot of `egalitarian’ and mis-named `public services’, and the petti-fogging assertion of inequality, and the assertion of rank, which provides close observers of such conduct with much merriment. It is evident amongst clergy and communist collectives called schools. It is reflected in greasy language, leftoids speaking down at adults matching, they treat other adults, except themselves, as infants. That is exactly what stamps Steve Bracks’ speech,as well as the Revdss. Pike, as also Bob Carr the Premier of N.S.W., Carmody the Commissioner of the ATO, the list is rather long and extensive of the reach to continue with.

At a stroke of a pen , the Blair led LP killed a pleasure, a pleasure which is also a major economic sector that generates a very large number of jobs, due to the hunts and the many businesses which supply the hunts. He, on the instant the foul, rotten deed was done, handed PETA a political advantage, and confirmed the selfish, puritanical and totalitarian beliefs of the inner city wombat land fashionable left, just the sort of savage thugs who stuff `Friends of Fat Aunty Bolshevik Collective’.

When Kipling savaged the Intemperate Left, the left did not have the advantage of fat goddy govt. and the totalitarian inclined politicians who take every opportunity to increase their, in reality, dictatorship over others, commencing with the elimination of property rights through taxation and regulation. Yet, in the short story, the savage thugs are presented in clear outline:

Midmore,

` early attach[ed] himself to the Immoderate Left…in the capacity of an experimenter in Social relations. And since the immoderate Left contains plenty of women anxious to help earnest inquirers with large independent incomes to arrive at evaluations of essentials, Frankwell Midmores’ lot was far from contemptible

.

In hypocrisy, he considered it not

`right that any human being should exercise mastery over others in the merciless fashion our tom-fool social system permits…’

`Inquirer’ was a joke of a name for those who are falling for socialism in any of it’s variants. P.G. Wodehouse used it thus in one of the volumes of his biography of Bertie Wooster Esq., who is brought into unnerving proximity to leftoid creeps, due to one of the blights on the Wooster horizon having fallen in love with a girl who happened to be a daughter of a couple of hard left pinkos: the father is a solid `trencherman’, sums it all up. I won’t cite any more of that affair, just too gruesome even to mention the incident.

He, Midmore, defects, as it were, due to an inheritance of a type detested by lefties. A fox hunting, shooting, and fishing Aunt has joined Heaven’s Beaufort Hunt, and Midmore is suddenly, Master of all he surveys, a manor house on `Ther Land’. The Immoderate Left, nice to his face, all at once despise Midmore, for his new situation, and envy him. They want to bludge on what they believe must be huge profits form the estate ( the dwarf- money tree fantasy - , showing out, most is ploughed back into the Ther Land leaving not much at all, as Midmore discovered rather early on). A Leftoid Lady, having spurned his advanced , suddenly finds a reconciliation might be possible, and that she might be able visit and be persuaded to stay.

Midmore, in the meantime, is discovering the joys of the Hunt, the Shoot, and Ther Land and, consquently, makes every effort to ensure none of the fashionable leftoid set blot new joys by ever making their way there and stay even for an afternoon at his estate.Before long, he is a thoroughly changed man, he, for once, enjoys life, takes an energetic and enthusiastic interest in Ther Land, and marries a regular Aunt Dahlia of Quorn and Pitchly Hunt type women, a Miss Sperrit. Leftoids are convinced all else need saving and their tneder salvific non sacrifices - except in so far as they sacrifice all else in order to save the victims of such salvific effort. No, if a man was saved, it was Midmore.

`The Hive ‘ is not altogether a fortunate metaphor, There is no such thing as society, just so many individuals grounded in the same traditions which are the terms which makes association and [volitional] interaction possible. The left just love the rot of : society is a holistic , organistic something, which, if the right types are in charge, can be made to work the right way. Bee hives and the swarm has that connotation, but that is not at all Kipling’s usage. The metaphor serves to savage the ruinous influence of the left: like a Moddling Cloth `sowing its principles to the ruination of the swarm, resulting in the beekeeper having to clean out the hive and killing off all the bees infected by the Codling Moth’s Principles, leaving the sound bees to group and rebuild the swarm and render the hive once more a land productive. That has transpired, but only because of govt. backing the Coddling Moth like principles of the left , for it has been in the interests of the politicians to do so.Govt. not the left as such, is , at bottom, the source of the problem. Govt actions have ensured the lefts’ `principles have been dropped into schools , the courts, the `police forces, bolstered by EPAs, offices of Greenhouse fartz. and so forth. It has infected business through H.R. and IRC. The left have been able to do the damage they have done only because of totalitarian inclined bent Govt.,and the Howard lead Coalition Govt. is, in these matters, no exception, on many counts, no better on this score, than the opposition parties ( and one sticks to this assertion). That is the pivot of the left’s success, govt., Kipling did not fully take into account. Evelyn Waugh did, and did so in savaging short stories, the satires so blunt, yet, shown out to be accurate.

Having said that, Kipling’s depiction of leftoids has shown out to be no less than surgically accurate. It is because Kipling called the fashionable Intemperate Left for what they are, to suggest, that the left damn Kipling. Kipling’s Imperialism, which he came to doubt in any case, is another matter, though not altogther for,…through govt. did the left rise. In those two short stories, a leftoid can only see himself distilled. In Waugh’ satires those responsible for cultivating the intemperate Left and their Principles are mirrored, politicians and the administrative offices they occupy falsely called govt. ( something to be laid out in another item).
