Mangled Thoughts

Still to finish this item, having put out several parts already, but here we digress by turning to the topic of `psychics’. Psychics seem to be harmless, who merely make a fat living off the gullible who might be as well served if they just picked up the telephone and say, “Hullo, hullo, anybody there? Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo ( ad infinitum).” It is just as likely the believers would, after half an hour repeating cuckoo, would hear strange, profound noises directly. Rather like staring at a statue or portait, 5 minutes of that and, lo, it moves.Psychics aren’t, however, harmless, to the contrary, in playing upon the gullible, and the pyschic business, summed up, is better than corporations engaged in large scale ventures, and risk free, for no capital required. In Oz, a `pyschic’s’ `consultation’ ranges up to $400, some might be more. In the U.S., up to $700 a fling. Some such as Allison Dubois, James van Praagh and John Edward are amassing fortunes out what is nothing less than fraud, fraud because, of course it is rubbish.

The two techniques used are `cold reading ‘ and `hot reading’. The second is when a `psychic’ has either been prepared by supply of sufficient details about a subject that the guessing game involved in `readings’ is reduced to a minimum. `Cold reading’ the psychic prompts either an individual or a number of people with assertions which are voiced as true statements and highly generalised, open catch-all assertions, or assertions delivered as questions. `I’, for example, `hear a name beginning with the letter L’ , is a typical open ended assertion. All such statements are based on probability, which can be refined further by, for example, if subject(s) are , say 60 to 70 years of age, running letters for the most common Christian names for the period in which they were born. A nod of the head is sufficient to cue the `psychic’ in, or a shift in voice over the telephone. What happens often enough is, a subject jumps in and `validates’ the statement by supplying the name. The psychic jumps in by saying, for example, `Yes, that is who I’ve been picking’.

That is when the psychic claims to have contact with the dead. The same, however, holds for `predicting’ some-one’s future.What the psychic does is lift enough information from a subject to arrive at a generalised prediction, so loose that it will be `true’. Take a single male, early 20’s, starting out , perhaps as an engineer, a barrister, an entrepenuer and already the psychic has enough information to deliver a prediction which will amaze the gullible. `I see two young ladies who will come into your life. You will foind it difficult to decide which one to marry. Each has strenghts which will complement yours, and will compensate yours. You will marry one of them and have children. It won’t all be easy going, you will have to work at the marriage but it will prove a blessing to you into your old age.’ The psyhic will throw in no less pedestrian statements about career, finances and so forth. The psychic can narrow it down further as, each `validation’ not only reduces the guessing game which is , the Pyschic prising out information about the subject(s) to what to the gullible seems like amazing details no-body else could `know’.

A couple of weeks ago, The Australian Pyschics Association announced its Psychic of the Year Award, a Miss Charmaine Wilson. The association advertises itself as a `professional’ association, which excludes `charlatans’ pretending to be psyhics. Pyschics are pre-occupied with rebutting, they are nothing but charlatans. That some might believe they are possessed of amazing powers is delusion and unfortunate, nothing worse than a true believer, because garbage so beleived is the stuff of cults. Thus we have one parallel between psychics who do believe the bilge they are addicted to and those who believe in the bilge of AGW. As well as another telling one, both are very proiftable to the boosters of each: AGW is highly profitable for politicians , bureaucrats, and shysters and shysters selling junk to `govts.’ such as windmills and `water desalination plants’, to the misery of real taxpayers.

The Association has a `code of ethics’. Socialistos as much as cranks called psychics just lurve codes of ethics, they are piddle, rubbish, and resorted to when, though what, say a govt. has done is odious they cite, nonethless, but it was all done in accord with the code of ethics. In other words, an escape clause for politicians, bureaucrats, and assorted charlatans to escape having their croimes sheeted home to them. Bracksie Wacksie is fond of inventing codes of ethics and appealing to them, and the explanation why he is so is stark birthday suit naked. This is its code of ethics, from the Association’s website :

1. You are to give your psychic readings as accurately as possible.

2. In the process of your readings, you are not to give legal or medical advice. You are to refer clients to suitable people in the above professional categories if the need should arise.

3. At no time will you offer to cast spells or incantations for a fee.

4. Promises to bring lovers together by psychic means for a fee will not be tolerated. Where either partner does not will such an event to occur you are infringing on their rights of free will.

5. Generally fees are around $60 per hour. Naturally those with many years experience will charge more. However, the association will not tolerate any members asking for exhorbitant sums in return for services that fall outside the normal psychic advice. Reference is particularly made in regards to the use of magic or witchcraft.

6. At no time should professional members promise to be 100% accurate. Allowing for an error margin in predictions and the like is quite reasonable. Making ridiculous claims does not increase your standing in the clients` eye. Honesty, on the other hand, will always serve you well.

7. Members are required to hand in statutory declarations signed by a Justice of the Peace from three (3) clients who indicate in the above document that they are satisfied with the work done for them by the respective member. Under no circumstances will a Certificate of Professional Membership be bestowed on anyone who does not fulfil the above requirement.

Number 7 is mystifying. J.P.’s witness documents for the purpose of law. A statutory declaration attesting, we like Jo, or we like Bill’s work is meangingless, nothing more than there are at last three who are willing to act as character referees for a psychic, and who are gullible enough the pyschic has done something for them. Oh, wait a moment, the psychic has done something for them, slimmed their wallets in return for nothing at all.

To rule 6, a successful prediction, if it is specific and thus falsifiable, has a probility of random chance , and that probalility is so low that, unless mistaken, it can’t be calculated: noting the probility of an event is the sum of the probalities of the events of which it is compose and each of those events are composed of events which renders calculation of the pr. of a psychic’s prediction coming true impossible, complete rubbish. Accuracy of prediction, conversely, soars according to the generality of the statments as illustrated above, but such statements do not admit of falsification and moreover, even only a slight semblance between the `prediction’ and events `predicted’ will be counted as confrimation, which, again, is meaningless, not that believers will be convinced otherwise. So, we have another parallel between the junk purveyed as science by boosters of AGW and psychics.

Charmaine has been feted, for example, A Current Affair, and 3 AW, and several newspapers. Since 3AW advertised she would be a guest on Sundays, following the Faris Q.C. show, I stayed tuned the last two Sundays. The first Sunday, she mentioned she had discovered her amazing ability to converse with the dead, soon after a family tragedy, she heard voices, that started her off. She mentioned that she watched John Edward and his Crossing Over show, and studied what he did, saying she had learned much from Edward. Well, if you plan to profit from a magic show, it pays to study the best, except , Edward is bad very bad, not a good magic man at all.

Shooting for each episode takes a whole day to produce enough material to put on about 20 minutes of T.V. What is never shown is the hours of footage cut and wiped because, though running both hot and cold reading, his successful guess are actujally very few. It is only the final edited film which makes Edward a stunningly accurate guesser. Worse, as Randi has related, when confronted by subjects who refuse to oblige with the cuing in , having been prepped so as to not make any replies which do that, Edwards fails entirely and, on failing double blind, Edward was furious against Randi. The producers edited out those spectacular disasters. Here’s one exposure of the fraud in action and caught red-handed but the damning evidence was, surplise surplise edited out:

Edward will merely switch gears and continue to perform in-person for those with enough money but not enough judgment. You know, some time ago, several computer-crashes before the last one, a reader wrote me detailing an account of an in-studio experience with Edward where he inadvertently gave out some information which was then fed back to him when he was part of the studio audience ? and though that data was wrong, the spirits whispered that wrong material to Edward to hand out. Another reader who recorded a studio session in person, found that the program as broadcast did not agree with his recording, since “creative editing” was resorted to. I’d like to hear from those folks…

The nasty `Sensing Murder ‘ occasional serious is made using the same deceitful practices as used to make the `Cossing Over’ Show, as the Victorian Sceptics Society has related in telling, dripping detail here,Taking a look at “Sensing Murder” - a shabby and insulting TV show

.

Despite Channel Ten billing “Sensing Murder” as a show in which psychics work with police to solve murder cases, the police are not involved with the show, and the section with the psychics only lasts for about a third of the hour-and-a-half show.
A contact from the crew of “Sensing Murder” has revealed another part of the reason why the psychics did so well at sensing details from the murders. Apparently the psychics were filmed while they were picking up ?vibes’ about the case and then their comments were matched up against the known facts. The show was subsequently ?improved’ by editing out the mistakes. The correct statements were left in, as well as those mentioned by both psychics. The crew member was very unimpressed by the psychics’ abilities and claimed to feel “morally bankrupt” for having worked on the show.

Especially in the Phillip Island episode, there was real scorn for the police work that had gone before. For Scott Russell-Hill,

The above indicates the extent the medja is prepared to lie about `psychics’ in order to promote them, which is what the medja are actually doing. Another example of the vile decietful conduct of the medja, is illuminated by this exchange,2003, between the Australian Sceptics and the lying woo woo buffoons responsible for A Current Affair:

The plain facts about Australian Skeptics’ testing of Dennis Puffet on A Current Affair

TV viewers who saw a story on A Current Affair (ACA) on Tuesday, June 17 might have been left with the impression that Australian Skeptics (AS) had “backed-down” from testing a “healer”, one Dennis Puffet. That impression, fostered by ACA both in its advertising and on air, is wrong. At no stage has Australian Skeptics ever had an agreement with Dennis Puffet, nor with anyone else, to conduct a formal test of his alleged paranormal abilities. Any charge of our backing down is blatantly untrue and neither Mr Puffet nor A Current Affair has any reason to suppose otherwise.

Trying to be scrupulously fair to ACA, they might have initially convinced themselves (mistakenly) that they had the rights to run a test for the Skeptics $100,000 challenge under their own rules (but using AS money) while ignoring any sort of controlled conditions. However, long before this segment went to air, ACA was left with no legitimate excuse for continuing to so believe.

Since the first story was shown, and before the offending segment, AS engaged in voluminous correspondence (telephone and email) with ACA in which we explained the rules, in great detail, under which such a test could take place. The first such rule is that a claimant must make a written submission to AS, clearly defining in detail precisely what it is that s/he believes s/he can do. We must know this before we can even begin to decide whether the claims are testable and, if so, how they can be tested. It hardly needs stating that waving one’s hands around on TV and apocryphal testimonials do not constitute such a claim.

At this point the issue entered the realm of pure farce. ACA told us that as Puffet would not agree to being tested by a scientist (who would be biased), they had approached Bond’s English Literature department. Seldom have our ghasts been more flabbered.

It appears that not only is the claimant allowed to nominate his own (very open ended) criteria for success or failure, he is also allowed to dictate who can supervise the testing and the right to veto anyone who might be expected to be capable of designing a scientific test. Not for our money he isn’t.

The only story that interested her, and the one to which she directed every question, was that “the Skeptics are backing down”. Clearly this approach had been decided long before the interviews and no inconvenient facts were going to be allowed to interfere with the story.

The Skeptics Challenge is NOT a game of chance, a bet that someone can put one over the Skeptics, nor one that can be decided on purely subjective criteria. The Challenge is a serious attempt to investigate whether or not popular paranormal beliefs have any substance. It something that requires testing, objectively, by rigorously using the tools of science, not because it makes an entertaining story.

Barry Williams C.E.O Australian Skeptics Inc
Richard Saunders President Australian Skeptics Inc

In a nutshell, the liars at who are responsible for ACA showed a willingness to defame others in order to protect frauds and their advocacy and promotion of bunk. This is another parallel with the AGW rubbish, the medja conveying attacks on many scientists whose crime is to point the AGW claim is false and that amny of its boosters are oi fact committing fraud in science in order to `prove ‘ AGW.

In America and Oz, and in Britain, the television refuse to admit any sound testing of psychics for the very reason,. they will be shown up for what they are , charlatans. Is this an exception, from Channel 7,

Caught on hidden camera, a psychic has ‘communicated’ with three people’s dead relatives, who never existed.

Channel 7 didn’t let that demonstration of charlatanism stand in the way of promoting the charlantan and her non-existent speical powers. No, they let the bilger bilge on, and on about how belief is essential, where-as scepticism interferes with the spooky things she taps into.

On the first Sunday, Charmaine failed, badly. The first caller to the 3 AW promo of voodoo, did not cue Charmaine in by her answers, and with no visual cues, she floundered and how. To each assertion, the first caller answered as follows: No. No. That’s not the name at all. You’re not describing whom I wish to contact at all. This is wrong.

In response to each denial, her stock response is, after a short pause , to sort out, no doubt, how to continue with, in fact, not conversing with the dead but interrogation of callers: `This doens’t matter’ ,or, `that’s o.k., we can move along and fnd out what is going on.’

That first caller became quite angry - that’ll teach her to patronise charlans. Charmaine was beginning to panic, becoming desparate to make even just one successful guess. To cover herself, she blurted, `I usually need more time , I can’t work this fast, give me time work with me.’

The first was complete failure, the disk-jock covered for Charmaine by announcing an ad break and getting the offending caller of the linbe quickly. Nearly the same thing happened last Sunday morning, again first call, again a woman, seeking contact with her dead son. After a number of failed guesses, the caller was becoming angrier and angrier but, the caller made a mistake, a slip of the tongue, she was that angry, delivered more than a cue:

[Shall continue posting as I tap it in].

Never believed they’d work and, the notion that they’d at least inhibit a dangerous criminal from perpetrating another violent crime, rubbish.

Appeal to expose incurable pedophile
Mark Buttler and Geoff Wilkinson
31jan06

A PEDOPHILE dubbed incurable by a judge has been arrested for preying on a family and loitering at a shopping centre.

But the criminal, who has a three-decade history of sex offending, cannot be identified because of a court order.

Police who charged him are alleged to have found the clothes at his flat and that he was wearing an electronic ankle bracelet as part of his order.

What the report doesn’t mention but a distraught and, understandly, ropeable mother did relate on radio yesterday was, the scumbag had been caught by neighbours prowling in the family’s property, fondling children’s clothes on the washing line a number of times previously and when they family was out. He told a neighbour who, having spotted one morning doing that, confronted him:
`What are you doing here?’
He told the neighbour, `Get out of here, none of your business’, in a threatening voice.

So, the scumbag had been preying upon the family, the children in particular with some regularity, breaching the `curfew’ several time. Criminals could be released into dah commoooooooooonity early or, at the end of a risibly low prison sentence, the Junta asserted because, eletronic monitoring and tracking would ensure police would be able to prevent a scumbag doing something nasty.

Well, it clearly hasn’t, certainly not in this case. Then, there is the problem, in any case, assume a scumbag has been detected somehwere he shouldn’t be, in the time it would take to despatch police and their arrival to wherever a scumbag is, presuming a scumbag could be reliably tracked, the scumbag might have murdered someone or, in the case of an inveterate peadophile, raped another child. This confirms rather this very point:

Corrections Commissioner Kelvin Anderson said when the man’s electronic tag alarm went off on Sunday morning, authorities were instantly alerted. He was found to be at home soon after.

The aalrm went off, so what, big bloody deal. The bastard had prowled and back in the residence well before the police were knocking on his door. In that time, he cold have grabbed a child, assaulted the child, and raped the child, and back indoors by before the the time the police rapped on his door. Big bloody deal Commissioner Kelvin Anderson, the alarm goes off, my alarm clock goes off at 5 each morning and , roast the tootsies until 5.30 It is easy to imagine the scene, the dipsticks , including Anderson, the Police Ministah and Bracks congratulating themsleves saying, `See, it works, and what a lovely alarm it is’ and, just as Anderson has done, write up a medja spin to the effect: `See it works’.

Lost competely on the dropkicks is, it didn’t work at all. The scumbag was out and back in before the police arrived. He had had time to assault and rape a child. He has done it not once, he as several times prior preyed upon the family. How much longer, if undetected , would it have been before he did commit a hideous crime against a child again? and, clearly, undetected. It failed Anderson, failed absolutely, it doesn’t do the damned job Bracksie Wacksie claim dit would., to protect those in the neighbourhood in which the scumbag had been located incognito.

It is something worth considering, more so, Bracksie Wacksie has turned Victoria into a dumping ground for peadophiles from other states, and who have been released early.

Along with other types of violent crims who have been released early, or given risibly short sentence, particularly in view of how dangerous some of them are, Victorians run the risk of being forced to live next door to dangerous crims . Dah Department of Corrections does not advise residents that they are about to place a vile rotten thug next door, in a real taxpayyer kept house of course. Understandably, when residents make discovery, they are tempted to march upon Spring St. and give the ministahs of dah Cabinet a bloody good fllogging. They should.

Some more unfortunate Victorians are soon to wake up one morning to this very danger. A criminal who has completed his sentence of 11 years, no parole, is about to be released on the same basis, bracelet, monitored, curfews. The scumbag is classified as highly dangerous the Herlad Sun report merely states `feared ‘. The scumbag is worse than feared, he is highly dangerous :
` offender Robin Fletcher was likely to be the next placed on a supervision order when he is released from prison in a few months. ‘

This is not a joke?

A spokesman for Corrections Minister Tim Holding said that publicly naming such suspects could place them in danger from vigilantes.

That `spokesman’ and dah Minstah, the whole damned cabinet, might reflect, the possibility of decent men and women turning vigilante if, soft cock judges and the bloody Stalinist Junta weren’t such soul mates to vile, evil, scumbags, and on that thus kept them where they belong, bhind bars or, better still, dealt the death penalty. Then, there is no risk of such types `re-offending’ and real taxpayers are saved a fortune by not having to maintain the bastards in prison. No prospect of vigilantism would. therefore, arise. It might occur some might turn vigilante for what bloody socialisto polliers, slobs called bureaucrats and soft cock leftoid judge won’t do, remove the bastards permanently. Why should decent men and women have their lives put in danger, and their children too? What the crappers in the Junta, and sadly the Coalition, are opposed is, the freedom of anyone to defend themselves, particularly when dah govt. fails in this and only plausible reason for `govt.’ It’s not vigilantism, it is doiung what the bastards in dah govt. and on the benches won’t do, it is not vigilantism to protect one’s property, limb,life, kith, and kin.

The convicts are not `suspects’, they are convicted crims who are beyond doubt highly dangerous. As for, naming them, that it ” could place them in danger from “vigilantes” boo bloody hoo. What about residents who are placed in danger because socialisto slobs who stuff dah guvmnt. loose dangerous bastards back out onto the streets ? That’s a rhetorical question since, Victorians are under the heel of a Stalinist Junta who are nothing but criminal spivs anyway, and crims have to cling together lest the lumpenmasse pick up the surprising notion, the job to do is to clean the streets of evil, most violent, convicted criminals.

Hmmm.. if one had a young family and discovered such a scumbag prowling around, since, thanks to dah Federal Coaltion, it is a crime to own a fire-arm and weild it when required, one would take a shovel and and wrap the blade around the bastard’s face. One wouldn’t give a scumbag like that one smidgeon of a chance to try what that one above was doing, threaten my children - no bloody way hosea. The bastard would be picking his face out from within his cranium with his broken fingers.

Nothing unusual in that, as also of the rest of his cabinet. Paper Doyley produced the goods against the cabinet over the finances for the freewaytollway. Madden, the Minster for Soviet collectivised Sportz in brackistaniland has lied, according to Doyle, over an interest he had when forming a bill written to serve aprticular interest. It is in fact an offence to do as Madden did. The ALP wrote that offence into the statutes at both State and Federal Level. Taking just the finance scandal, Doyley supplied documentary evidence before parliament showing, the Cabinet lied to parliament. It is amusing that the Speaker of the Lower House acted to strike down statments using the forms of the verb to lie and the adjective and the noun, it is obvious why. Striking down the word in all its forms doesn’t detract from, that is exactly what minsters of the Bracks junta have done. The lies they told to parliament regarding the freeway made tollway involve more than the sacking offence of, misleading parliament. Bracks, this week, told another lie, it is far more serious than even the Scoresby lie, it is lie which directly bears upon the bushfires and the horrific scale of them.

A caller on talkback radio, early this week, asked Jo Stalin Bracks the question, roughly, “Does the Govt. encourage clearance on land of fuel?” I suspect the caller lives in the urbs and not in rural Victoria, nor rural anywhere else in Oz for reasons which are plain but to the sheltered.

Bracks replied: “Yes, we do encourage land owners to maintain their land, to clear potential fire fuel.”

That is a lie.

It can be a criminal offence under Local Council, State Govt. and Federal Govt. to do so. The penalities are fines into the tnes of thousands of dollars and, can include orders to restablish the scrub, trees thinned and what-knots that have been cleared in order to eliminate fire hazards. There are property owners in Victoria who have been seeking `permission’, on their own properties mind, to clear hazardous material for the last 11 years. Each year, they have been refused by little tinpot dictators of the following:

Local Councils
National parks
State Parks
EPA - local, state and federal
Department of `Sustainability and Environment
The non -govt. greeny front, the Australian Conservation Foundation but kept out of real taxpayers’ taxed property.

The A.C.F., more-over, has been given to weild, and weild it does, secret police state powers. The A.C.F. is in fact used as a police state goon squad by each tier of govt. The above listed entities weild police state coercive powers.

Those police powers have been decreed by the polticians , all parties to enforce the cult of environmentalism and the acts on which it is enforced contain articles which are nothing but an overthrow of property rights and thus too common law. To this, each of the above have police state `rights ‘ to enter private property.

As a lead in, this example: One landowner has discovered a thin layer of surface material over a number of acres is valuable. He can lift it and sell it.That will have no impact on his own land, and he certainly has no desire to cripple the long term productive capacity of his land. He can’t scrape and sell the material, because the feral animals of the A.C.F., using the police state powers to commit the crime of tresspass, had walked over his land in the search of `native grasses’ and found a some specimens . The onwer cannot now mine the material ,unless he wishes to be thrown into prison.

My view is, the owner made a singular msitake: though it is none of the business of the nasty little dictators who stuff local councils, engaging works an owner must bribe so many bastards - the `permit & licence fees’. Now, if the farmer, before registering the application for the permit umpteenth had scoured the field and, on spotting it, ripped out the obnoxious grass, he would have been on his way.

Bye the bye, my advice to any who have trees posing danger to house and limb, tap into the root and pour in round-up. Neat hole drilled in, sufficient to allow sufficinet of the poison to kill the nasty things, into the roots so that they can be concealed. A council cannot refuse a permit to cut down the trees when the buggers are dead as a dodo. In fact, you won’t need a permit, the tree is bloody dead.

It is not simply, landowners commit a crime when engaging in any works which remioves what the bloody greenies assert to be a wombat species of plant, it is a criminal offence in Victoria now, as in other states, and under local, state and federal totalitarian decrees to cut down and thin out tress and scrub full stop., unless they have been given `permission’ and subject to planting a multiple of the dynamite removed.

How bad is it? The fate of John Howard’s brother is the prospect facing property owners, irrespective of whether rural or urban for that matter. John Howard’s care-taker of a property in N.S.W. wanted a stand of trees and scrub near the care-taker’s residence removed to eliminate in fact two things:

It attracted snakes, and he, understandably, does not wish children to be poisoned by a snake. All the more understandable because, it is a criminal offence to kill snakes which attests the priorities of the greenies and the major parties which have embraced some of the major objectives of Pol Pot’s fan club, sacrifice man to the goddes of death, Mudder Nature. To mark, there has been a population explosion of snakes over the last ten years and is increasing exponentially, the upshot beoing the rotten land lice infest now towns and city in plague numbers.

National Parks `officers’ and the little stalinst bastard of mayor of the pertinent shire showed what they are, demented, rotten land lice. They frothed and foamed at the mouth, dah `mayor’ ranting, roughly `this is preciesly what has to be stopped, we have to make an example of Mr. Howard, to show you can’t do this and get away with it.’

The hypocrisy is blatant. The stalinist bastards are sure punishment is effective deterrance. How can the dipsticks entertain that for what are crimes only by imposing totalitarian edicts and yet assert, of real serious evil crimes, murder and rape, punishment is not a deterrent, with particular attention to capital punishment? It is another insight to what liars socialistos are. In fact, the lie involved is entailed in every other bit of rotten ‘regulation’ each `tier of govt.’ has rammed down,usually on businesses and property owners. On the one hand, deterrance by punishment works, but, for leftoid mush and woo woo causes, it doesn’t. All parties run the contradiction. It is a very strange thing entertaining two completely opposite propositions are both true. Theb condition being, x is true when I say it is true and y is true when I say it is true, right out of the hand-book for jackbooted totalitarians, and is a case of why pragmatism is false and a specious justification of totalitarianism ( epistemology of - those unsure read Russell’s survey of A History of W.Phil. for a quick summary).

[ I’ll continue posting as I complete paragraphs].

It is a criminal offence in Victoria to even remove dead trees, fallen limbs. The greenies via the front the A.C.F. wail, `they are necessary to provide homes’ for nasty little things , everything and anything, land lice, ants, the non-existent spinker-fonkle-gussetted-cretin lizard. Doesn’t matter much of what they wail is not even rare, it is , `save dah animals, save dah bush’ and fuck all who have to bear the burdens of compliance, the property owners.The burdens : financial; lost production capacity; threat of being arraigned on stalinist charges; the danger of devestation by bushfire; the crippling of the ability to work land on a sound basis.’

Yes, all the `laws’ of each tier of govt. are crippling the ability of farmers to work land on a sound basis. To draw this constraint out further: the `laws’ are undermining the very things which those who have imposed them sought to secure. Things which, from the 80’s, property owners were doing volitionally, until the commie bastards stepped in.

The National Party is far detached from those they claim to `represent’, certainly in Victoria. Things changed during the 80’s and that change gathered momentum during the Kennett years, the sheer numbers of farmers who grasped: Farms are not lifestyle wombat holes, they are businesses. With it, they changed how they developed land, including combining forestry, some on a commercial basis. Govt. `legislation’, each `tier’ og govt. is buggering up those developments. Amplifying it is, Beatties pol potian laws, with the upshot, forestry on farmland is not worth the effort. It is worse in N.Z., with commerical forestry plantations also being scrapped. In short, parading their `envirnmental compassionate’ navels in public the bloody politicians have achieved the opposite: why bother wasting funds on forestry, when some police state goon citing decree 9,456,078 , free to commit tresspass, will walk up up to your door and lob against you criminal charges and impose further costs.

More-over, on commons but not govt. forests, clearing sides of roads, for example, of rubbish is a criminal offence. A dangerous tree on the side of road, say a blind bend, too bad. Mr. and Mrs. Jones,with their children can cruise along and crash into it. A tree falls, down, the tree or branch might be moved to the side of the road but cannot be carried away for the wood, and too bad if the Thoimas family happen to run off road and into the obstacle.Better to have the Thomas or Jones family die on the roads than disturb mudder nature. This is just clearing obstacles form roadsides.

Forget clearing scrub and thick canopy which extend those bushfire bombsites, govt. owned parks. it is a criminal offence to clear strectches of scrub and canopy along roads: and this explosive rubbish carries bushfires out of the govt. owned `parks’ out onto properties, killing live-stock and plant and equipment, and into towns destroying assets in towns and much else in between.

Bracks told a damnable lie: property owners, anywhere in Victoria, are not free to maintain their propertoies free of dangerous fuel loads. Not even free to clear bloody nasty gum trees next to a house - the point being, next to fire, gums are prone to dropping branches, gum trees are bloody dangerous.

As for govt. owne dparks, well, as alreay well covered, they are just, in reality, gigantic packs of dynamite awaiting detonation. they should be sold off so they can be commerically worked which thus means, companies can maintain them properly. Right now, govts. and their scams calle,d reserves, parks, conservation parks, they are just rotten criminals.

The downright reality is : the bloody politicians have stripped owners of their property rights, it is unlawful for them to run their land as they see fit. They are not free to eliminate fuel loadings. It is a criminal offence to do so Steve Jo Stalin Bracks you damned fat lying commie spiv bastard. Between your goddamned `forests’ and your other totalitarian decrees, you have turned Victoria into a great outdoor bomb. All the devestating bushfires still raging were generated in govt. forests and spilled out of the forests along `lanes’ of scrub and canopy which has never been cleared because it is a criminal offence.

The bottom line , the pollies, the bureaucrats, National and State Parks,greenies are criminally liable. What they have done is deliberate sacrifice lives and property so that they can worship bloody Mudder Nature. It is deliberate: govt. forests are time bombs. It is no secret.

[Gad, I have to get off the computer, a blister of a lightening storm is moving through.]

With exceptions, Howard’s reflection on the inadequate rigour with which history is taught in schools brought out the usual demented reactions of leftoid teachers and other assorted feral animals.

History debate rages over narrative
Imre Salusinszky
January 27, 2006
AUSTRALIA’S national day of celebration was marked by a renewed outbreak of the culture wars as education experts debated the way Australia’s story is taught in schools.

The latest hostilities were provoked by John Howard’s comments at the National Press Club on Wednesday, where he claimed the teaching of history had degenerated into a “fragmented stew” of post-modernist ideas with no clear narrative thread….

next to the usual rants such as:

Australian Education Union secretary Andrew Gohl told The Australian:…”
Does it mean we can’t talk about the invasion of Australia, or the appalling treatment of indigenous Australians?”

Entirley lost on the pillock is, the `appaling treatment’ dished out to aborgines has been committed by the socilaito policies, at great burden to real taxpayers to keep as many aboriginies as possible ground into the dirt of primitive tribalism. As for invasion… what? Like Hitler’s spring-time? Gohl has to stop sucking on acid drops.

This, however,gives away how thoroughly debased the subject of history is, once a sound scholarly discipline with schools ensuring pupils walked out with at least a comprehension of the building bolcks of the subject and thus able to read sound works for their pleasure and interest,, it is now an exercise in brainwahsing young things into woo woo - pol potian beliefs. History rendered ugly, something to throw away on the instant of leaving school :

the NSW curriculum for younger students shows that, as in the other states, history is being taught as part of “human society and its environment” rather than as a free-standing subject.

The NSW curriculum also stipulates seven “perspectives” that should be applied to the subject matter: Aboriginal, civics and citizenship, environmental, gender, global, multicultural and work.

Mr Donnelly argues the relativist approach, in which no single perspective dominates, is inherently contradictory. On the one hand curriculum documents point to the subjectivity of historical understanding, while on the other mandating approaches such as feminism and environmentalism as templates for students’ understanding.

The oxymoron involved in, ‘history is being taught as part of “human society’, is wrose than a vulagrism of vulgarisms, which shows what is problematic with, States’ Govts. and their Bureaucrats dictating education and the short cut to teaching , the crapola of `bachelor of education’. Schooling is no longer , in govt. schools certainly, dominated and ordered by graduates holding real university degrees’. Of course, that is, these days begging the querstion when history in the university is dominated not by Professors of History but mythologisers inculcating the voodoo beliefs of socialistos.

Dah environment: `environmental science is bunk’. The only reason why it ha sbeen proliferated is becuase the bloody pollies have embraced woo beleifs to the hilt and thus fund charltanism to the hilt. Just consider, fir further illumination, that load of bullshit called sociologists and the derivatives, `relgious studies’ and `social work’ and such crapola real taxpayers are plundered to fund on a grand scale. Basically, those charlatans, the politicians and the bureaucrats are turning out of schools and unis ignoramuses who are useless, can’t make their own way, and reliant on bloody `govt.’ non-jobs to do what… feel good, that is all.

`Environmental science’ is the same, an expensive load of crap etnailing the corruption of science and the turning out of so many are nothing but mouths for quacks. Reading through universities’ `course’ descriptions for it alone makes plain how shoddy, what garbage `enviro-science’ is. it is nothiong more than a lie and a propaganda effort, as well as a brainwashing exercise, to justify what is another rotten cult, environmentalism and the source, Pol Pot’s bum wipes, the Greens. Jolly, how many millions, it is certainly more than a hundred per annum thrown down that sewer. The upshot: those schools, such as they are, tyurn out little totalitarian, infantile shits who, backed by the police state `environmental laws ‘ of each tier of `govt.’, turn out to be only nasty little KGB-Gestapo fingerwagging little shits.

So, in the name of history, the commie bastards of N.S.W., applies also to, say, Victoria, and Federal `Education’. called politicians and bureaucrats have corrupted botrh science and history and converted history into nothing less than nothing less than ,mystical commie shite. Now, that is a crime,for, in schools certainly, poinko arseholes such as Grohl are engaged in nothing less than corruptioon of youth as well as brainwashing pupils into tjhe garbage they plaming of as the scholarly discipline, history. If a company were to do that, they wouuld be charged of a number of offences. Why do fucking pollies, bureaucrats and `teachers’ and “teachers’ universities” get away with it and on a grand scale free!

It’s anecdotal but, someone reported, they are counting one surviving koala bear to 7 dead. Bear’s up to my point, locking up land, thus letting it turn into a mass of bonfire material actually defeats the aim of locking up land in the first place, protection of planty and beasty things. Mass incineration of planty and beastial type things is some defeat.

Yup pol pots bum pals, Greenies, hear that Steve Jo Stalin Bracks, 7 out of every 8 Koala’s barbecued, turned into dust and ashes, charcol, soil material. Extrapolate to all the other animals the mudder earth worshipper’s adore and, well, since the same believe in the woo woo crap of AGW -Co2 caused `climate change’, they can console themselves by refelcting upon, Oz has met the Kyoto `targets’, all those Co2 and methane emitters no longer emit Co2 and methane - mudder nature is saved, joy.
Oh, dang, all the burbed lumber, a century’s worth of AGW `emission’ pumped out …. damn,we are doomed by, oh no, the evil bitch herself, Mudder Nature.

Told you Mudder nature is the goddess of death and destruction, but no, the buggers stuffing local councils, states’ parlaiments and federal land just can’t come to grips with that singular telling fact..Best to put the chief high priests to the bitch into loony bins for the criminally insane, the bastards of A.C.F., Greens, Steve Bracks, Peter Garrett, other woo woo idiots, the sods in EPA etc. Worshipping that goddess is a no no, she rewards her worshippers, by a her gentle touch, death and destruction on a massive scale. How divine.

Having written below of fighting a small bushfire is a nasty business, that it requires resliance, determination, a bit of adrenalin, caution and a dose of the self-perservatory fear. Pictures explain better than words:

It’s rotten hard work in stifling conditions, and requires getting up close to the beast. Hence, the healthy mixture of fear and caution, always checking your position, you have to be able to extract yourself fast. The CFA man might be, of course, be engaged in back burning, but it is, to be corny, still playing with fire.

To reiterate from below, fighting bushfires is not about saving dah bush as such, and certainly not saving real taxpayer kept pleasure parks for socialisto snivelling bastards. This is what it is about:

Over 100,000 sheep have been killed by the fires. How many cattle now?

The barren, silent look after a bushfire has done its work and, what the CFA is, again, trying to save, property and not fucking impenetrable jungles filled with ugly, usless animals:

The pictures are here, and they include some which is another reason why CFA fight fires. There is one which is gruesome reminder of what fighting the wild bushfires entails, the burnt out wreck of a veichle in which a father and son died when they, “Malcolm Wilson, 36, and his 12-year-old son Zeke were caught by a bushfire and died trying to shelter in their car.They had been racing to fight flames threatening a relative’s property at Pomonal, near Ararat, in the state’s west.” They bring the number killed in the fires to about 7.

I will re-iterate, the bloody politicans and the bastards in EPA, National Parks and so forth, the `Australian Conservation Foundation’, the `Greens’ the bureaucrats in the `departments ‘ charged with imposing pol potian notions are the bastards responsible for the devestation. They have turned the coutnryside into a time bomb by returning bush to impenetrable, highly combustible jungle. They are the rotten bastards who set up the conditions which made for these horrendous fires. Worse, Bracks is set to lock up more vast tracts of land. That is it in the raw, those useless, rotten bastards have intentionally put property and lives at risk, now realised, for the sake of their worship of that rotten evil bitch Mudder Nature. It agrees with the aims of greenies , sacrifice lives and economic progress on their altar aslready dripping with the bloody of many who have died, from malaria due to the ban on DDT, now - sanity at last prevailing- lifted. Indeed, this morning Bracks spoke of the `sacrifice of those who died fighting the fires’. No, you rotten commie scumbag, they died to fight fire to save property, towns and all civilised things thus making fighting fires worthwhile, because rotten swindling shits like you, lock up, at real tapxayers epense, and further economic damage , huge tracts of land so you can satisfy that Goddes of Death and Destruction. ALl these devestating fires, all of them, have been generated in those private pleasure parks for lying, commie spivs. They are criminal culpable.

Until the day of commie `parks and reserves’ comes, it will happen again, and again. That is the even more evil rtamification of the commie policies of professional dole bludging spivs such as Bracks and his Junta, the assholes of the A.C.F. , the Greens, the EPAS, in fact the whole damned lot of the socialist bastards who stuff each `tier of govt.’ and their useless mendicants who back them to the hilt, fucking `public servants.’ Criminally liable, the whole bloody lot of you. And it is as well to point out:

Yesterday evening, as one stood ooutside, it was very noticeable the wind is beginning to shift, to the North through West.

Reports on the fires have ommitted to mention the Otway fire, which broke out late Sunday night and in swift time had burned 5,000 hectares. Last night, the Otways was at last given a mention, a tight-lipped brief mention only. The fire, which had started in a valley deep within the impenetrable jungle the Bracks Stalinist Junta and their flunkies have reduced the Otway’s `Parks’ to, has broken out of that valley, and is shooting north-north west. The threat is, and it is a very real threat, that fire can shoot all the way to the Cobden - Campberdown area. There are many working properties and towns, and production plants in the way, and all surrounded by the jungle the commie bastards have reduced the whole region too.

The fight to contain the Grampians fire in the respite of the last two days is lost. Halls Gap , for example, is death alley because of its geography and the jungle the commie bastards have filled the region with.

Another fire broke out in more tracts of land rendered jungle by the lying criminal assholes,in the south, in Gippsland, making that the umpteenth fire season this season in that region.

Tomorrow will be 41 under the shade, which means 43-45 out in the open. Going on the shifting winds, a hot strong, gusting northerly will prevail. Many Victorians,through all today and tomorrow are in deep shit, or rather, have been flung into deep shit the day the commie spivs locked up land. Evil and rotten is what the whole scam of commie private pleasure parks is, it is deliberately putting lives and property of many in danger, now realised once again, it is a deliberate willingness to sacrifice the property, businesses and lives of many others so that they, the useless commie fuckwitted gangsters can feel good and worship thier nasty little gods.They are vile criminal shits who should be made , each and every one of them, personally liable for all the losses and damages, not real taxpayers, the lying snivelling nasty gnagsters should bear what they are properly libale for all the losses. They should be made to pay up, not real taxpayers and insurance companies.

It is time to sheet home to the bastards what they are directly responsible for. Are there any barristers who have the guts to launch joint actions against the bastards? No? Too venal to do it? Too craven to do so? I hope not, for it should be done, it must be done, the bastards cannot be allowed to get with this again and again, get away with what is nothing less than their criminal, vile ,evil, imnpositions. Others are paying with their eir property and lives so that those rotten bastards can enjoy their nasty private, but real taxpayer kept, pleasure parks . They are criminal gangsters whose crimes now run high and rank.Time to sheet home to each of them their many crimes. Are the barristers too gutless to take the rotten lying bastards on?

It is about saving property and, when that can’t be done, lives. Another way to look at bush-fire fighting is twig on to: if it were not for property, from farms to town, and no population, you wouldn’t bother engaging in the very dangerous job of fighting a terrifying bushfire. You would let it burn itself out. On the other, greenie commie bastyards and inner city sookie socilaisto wombats might entertain the delusion the job of the CFA is to save all those commie `govt.’ parks and reserves and, `save’ nasty, ugly `native animals’. Seems the aresholes do believe that:

Almost 24 hours after a big fright on Monday, firefighters went into “asset protection” mode — forgetting the bush and working on saving houses as Halls Gap came under another ember attack from fires.

I’m not sure what dribblers notion of a bushfire is and fighting a bushfire is but, neither has anything to do with reality.

This, as one mentioned below, is what the force of devestating, roaring speeding bushfires is, bloody terrifying, as a couple of locals in Stawell also attest:

She and her husband David watched nervously on Monday night and early Tuesday as fire lit up the view from their Baptist Church camp.

With trees cracking in the wind and rocks exploding in the heat, the Brownes could only sit and wait.

“It has been really frightening,” she said. “It’s a waiting game for us.”

Acousin married, many decades ago, a sheep station owner. Way out in the middle of nowhere,she spent her first Christmas, not long after their honeymoon, in a kitchen cooking for the men, aided by her house They were out fighting a bushfire which had started in govt. owned wild jungle. The fire leapt out onto the land and, thus a grass fire swept through and up to the house and past it. An interesting experience, and it was stifling hot weather with gusting hot north winds. In the middle of nowhere, there is nowhere in particular to go and take refuge in. She coped rather well, in the circs.

Hmmn, as I said, the only amusement is the complete disproof and over-turn of the pol potian justification for locking up huge tracts of land and letting them turn into feral, highly inflammable impenetrable jungles: crisped feral animals and plants, and `rare species’ suddenly extinct. Indeed, by the time these fires are out, dah commie parks and reserves will be notebale for a couple of things, the barren type lack of vegetation and vicous, nasty wild animals, rare or not, a deafening silence, it might be said. Though, it will leave a new tourist attraction, inner city greeny hugging sookie snivelling socialistos, including politicians will be able to travel into dah bush and easily spot skippy the roasted kangaroo, wally the wombat baked pie, crispy the snake ( well, no worries about snake bite - a good thing, a good snake is a dead snake) , croaky the rare umbooo gumbooo frog croaked, billy the stuffed koala bear, frizzle dah `old growth tree’ (what a waste of good timber), and Roger the flightless sulphured galah. There’s another plus, tree hugging rousseaunian type snivelling socialisto sookies can’t get lost and die in dah bush, which they manage otherwise to do now and again. No, even though all is laid bare newly opened country, the fuckwits would still get lost and die.

Police have issued warnings which, to say the least, are the proverbial bleeding obvious: don’t travel to the Grampians and other bush fire areas around Victoria. One chump had a better idea, he went camping in a tent in the Grampians:

Bush man burnt in bushfireWednesday Jan 25 07:04 AEDT
A man living in a tent in the Grampians National Park jumped into a dam to try to escape the flames as bushfires raced through the area on Sunday.

Firefighters rescued the man who had burns to 20 per cent of his body.

Rural Ambulance Victoria (RAV) spokesman John Mullen said the man, aged in his 50s, was found seeking refuge from the fire in a dam.

He had received 20 per cent burns to his face, the back of his head and his back, Mr Mullen said.

“Apparently one of the fire crew spotted a fellow in a dam in Yarram Park, north-west of Willaura, where the fires were in the Grampians,” Mr Mullen said.

” … apparently he’d jumped into the dam to seek some refuge.”

Must be the thrill factor, camping in the bush is hideous as it is but, why not enjoy a huge free ranging barbcue, plenty of roast lamb and a few tinnies, relaxing in the deck chair parked in front of the hutchee. The drawback is, not having slipped on enough suntan cream he’s feeling a bit raw and, temporarily homeless. Perhaps someone will invent a bushfire proof tent one day, so it will be tickety boo camping out in the middle of a fire surrounded and in sky-scraper high flames.

Mike Jericho is back blogging at The Fall of Jericho, and he is in corking good form. He’s posted a photo from a London daily of George Gallowy in leotards having a romp with a “she-male”. It is a gas, George Gallowy revealed for what he is, a complete commie cretin. Steve Bracks is a cretin, reflected in, all his public utterances are delivered in baby language. A man, it is presumed he is man but don’t bet on it,who says things such as, `we can’t make more rain’ is, face it, infantile, but that is Brack’s command of language, and forget science, Bracks is possessed of none at all. The difference between the latter and the former is, unfortunately, while Galloway is an M.P., and not for much longer now, and not trusted even with a junior ministry, but Bracks is Premier of Victoria. Perhaps we could swap with Westminster, they can have Bracks for Georgey Porgey Pud Pie, but it would be no deal, they’ve had a gutful of Blair and Brown and what sits opposite them is no better, and desire no more of those cretins . They’re content with George because he is impotent. bracks is impotent too, much like a glove pocket. the bureaucrats and party machine types stick their fists up the bottoms of the Bracks Cabinet of glove puppets and, waggle the arms and, as a bad ventriloquist act, make them utter the most inane comments that a bright two year old would feel tortured by the bastards. Just to check:

Former boofy player, now Minster of Sportz, Madden, is the Minster of whom a senior bureaucrat regaled his pals about how his aides had to prime him how to answer the aunt sally questions the leftoid medja kindly puts to him. Madden saying to one adviser, “`what do I say, what do I say?’” The Sir H.A. crumpled up when, yours truly, D, on overhearing this amusing but not at all surprising in depth scrutiny of the calibre of the man who sits in Cabinet, remarked in a good and kindly jocular booming voice, and in v. surprised mode, remarked;

“Egads, sir ! So, he is a complete moron after all, going on your accurate assessment of the calibre of the Minister of Sports.’”

The bureaucrat was desperate, v. much like Sir H.A. when caught in the maws of a scandal he and his colleagues cooked up, crying in earnest voice and a clear voice, one that travelled to assure all who heard my remark, which was everyone in the establishment - well, I couldn’t help myself,

” No! No, No! He is a very good Minister, he is very able, very bright… he is a, a.. a nice minister , a very nice minister, yes a very nice minister and… and ..and so eager..and ah… helpful.”

Oh, golly, those few minutes were precious, particularly when I finished him off and, I was slightly deaf by then and believing else in the joint had also been deafened slighlty by the Victorian Sir H.A’s. histrionics, I turned the volume up for the benefit of all:

“Ah, say no more, my good man, your speaking code to cover your earlier indiscretion but, by jingo, your assessment of the minister is accurate, absolutely, a complete moron of village idiot proportion, something resembling a potato stuck in the ground. I say, bad luck, imagine having to work under a whole cabinet of spuds, you unfortunate chap… care for a drink, you’re looking a bit off colour my dear fellow, must be the weather, it is a bit warm.”

For some strange reaosn, the chap withdrew into himeslef, much like a clam shuts shop when confronted with a beastie contemplating it as a pre luncheon priandial. Believe me folks, dah ministress for Health and what-knots, Browyn Pike who moonlights as a Uniting Churh Minstress is no less retarded. I wonder if the Victorian ALP selects m.p.s on the prinicple of they who are clearly inbred - and below average I.Q, we are talking about 20 points short of the full quid, is a good indication of close - inter-breeding ( try, brother and sister and first cousins, just like those of `Middle Eastern Appearance living in the Middle East whose vocabulary is two words , bomb and suicide - the poor dears they can’t cope with a civilized vocabulary of pollysyllables excluding all expressions saying I Lurve Allah and he Slays Me too and, I hate Jews, Must Kill Jews), make for exccellent glurve puppets. The Sports Minster demonstrates why: the boof head struggles with finding answers to dick and dora level questions, so does anyone credit boof head is capable of anything involving a degree of difficulty greater than 1/10000? Precisley, putty in the hands of the ALP Party machine brokers and bureaucrats, an ideal glove puppet. Indeed, broken down, that is what the senior public servants was praising, Madden is the ideal glove putty, as is also everyone else in the cabinet. The bureaucrats are propping them up, wiggling their arms and use hidden microphones for ventriloquism.

This morning, Bracks came out with one of his usual tedious profundities, with one difference, it wasn’t delivered in, altogether, the babble of a cretinous adult stuck in infancy. Amazing but, the explanation must be, some-one brighter than bracks coached Bracks to utter set lines so that he would not come across as he actually is, a vertically challenged half-witted stalinist spiv.

He compared the bushfires with Ash Wednesday, considerable tonnage of fuel for the fires all around Victoria, strong to gale force winds to propel the fires, and heat-wave to ensure fast ignition. The fire was racing at around 4-5 k.ms. per 5-8minutes over the weekend , bloody fast that is. In short, he said, the conditions were the same as during the Ash Wednesday fires.

He omitted two crucial details. These fires, as during that bleak day, Ash Wednesday, have in common, as with all the major devestating fires, their fuel source was State and Federal govt. `parks, reserves, and conservation parks’: what the distinction is between each type of real taxpayer kept pleasure park and cultic site dedicated to the worship of Evil Bitch Mudder nature for socialisto spivs is a complete mystery.

The cool change and drop in winds has slowed the fires for a while, giving a narrow window of opportunity to stop the fires before the heat-wave of tomorrow and Thursday . The CFA is now busy back-burning to eliminate as much fuel as possible before tomorrow.

As explained below, in every major fire, the lanes have been all through those `parks, reserves and conservation reserves’. That is where the sheer tonnage of highly inflammable fuel required for the generation of those tremendous fires is . That those forests are not commercially logged and worked adds to the fuel on the floors, the dense canopies, tinder dry old trees, scrubby and highly inflammable undrgwoth, all densely packed together . Yes, these fires have shot through those commie scams called `Heritage parks’, `National Parks’, `State Parks’, `Reserves’ and `Conservation reserves’ at ground level, and canopy level -crown fires. The fires still burning have been on a tremendous scale. Whole ridges illuminated by the heart of the flames towering from below ridges, that gives an indication of the scale of these fires. The back -burning is, presumably, being conducted in those communisto scams called `govt. owned’ forests; and jungles imposed by socialisto politicians weilding coercive power, and enforced by greeny fronts such as the `Australian Conservastion Foundation’ , ably assisted by the bastards in `National Parks’ and `State forests and Parks’ onto private property and areas not in those bloody nasty tributes to socialism, `Parks, et al’ .

When I fought my first fight against a bush fire, let me say this, it was scary. Damn, does a front move, one constantly checked for escape routes as the fire moved and changed direction, just in case. The thing is, that fire was a pin prick compared to the fires currently raging in Victoria, S.A., W.A.. It was a smidgeon of the size of these hellish furnaces,and adrenalin and enthusiasm in fighting it were mixed with a healthy dose of fear. There was an advantage, it had been spotted early, before it became uncontrollable. It had been deliberately lit, on the edge of - no prizes for guessing, another bloody impenetrable, fuel laden, `Govt.’ `Reserve’. If it had not been spotted early, by sheer accident, by someone, that fire would have wrought a shocking toll on property abutting the Reserve and in the paths the fire could have taken. It was a scorching hot day, and a nasty north wind fanned the flames. It was a lucky break it was spotted early, a close run thing, another ten or 15 minutes later and it would have been right into the Reserve and thus beyond any hope of stopping it - that is how close a run thing it was.
That the fire was deliberately lit is beside the point, dah `govt.’ `reserve’ was laden with a dense mass of fuel which makes for a monster, devestating bushire.

Then, taken with on blisteringly hot days with strong, hot, north winds combining with the intense heat of a bushfire, fire-fighting is like sitting inside an oven set on high. The short of it is, one would not care to be in the shoes of the poor bastards who are fighting these fires, as also in the case any of the catastrophic fires of the past. I find just contemplating what is involved,and what those men of the CFA have to do, horrifying, it is appalling. There is no point in expressing sentiments towards the men, that’s mawkish, silly, doesn’t do any good, but I’ve been dwelling upon their lot these last few days, and, for that matter, the residents and their families in the way of the fires. For children, it can be outright terrifying, as a friend related of their experience of it as a child.

One fireman has died, and a young family, children,mother and father, have died, they had been attempting to flee when the fire burst out onto and over the road they were driving along, the poor family.

There it is, that is why Bracks is lying on this matter. The culprits are fucking socialisto bloody politicians, their commie bed pals called the Greens and the Australian Conservation Foundation, weilding the coercive power of fat god almighty fucking `govt.’ to lock up land and turn it into impenetrable jungle, while forcing onto private property, and along roads and between housing, more bloody nasty crappy, shitty, dense, highly inflammable `native vegetation’. Yes, each tier of govt. has, in criminal violation of common law, overthrown property rights and common law, and thereby have issued diktat, enforced by goon squads called EPA, Department of Sustainability and Evironment, and yes indeed, `National Parks’ and `State Parks’ ( both their officers are held in nothing but contempt in rural Victoria),and the A.C.F., requiring farmers turn parts of their property into bushfire dynamite, on pain of criminal conviction for refusing to comply - John Howard’s Brother is himself a victim of this totalitarian decree.

Diktat, totalitarian decrees, demanding, amongst many other violations of private property rights, landowners turn land into, effectively, dynamite. It is in those tracts of land, beginning in State forests, unworked, unlogged, unkept, devestating bush fires are generated, and not in worked forests and land . And, on leaving the forests, the fires shoot along the fuel highways set up by the bloody polticians and their bum buddies called greenies, ACF, National Parks and States’ Parks. Those bastards, everyone of them, are criminally liable for the devestation of these fires.They created the `conditions’ for such carnage.

Next to the dead, there is now over 50,000 dead sheep - breeding stock, thousands of kms of fencing destroyed, over a 1,000 cattle dead, plant and equipment destroyed, homes destroyed. The bloody lying socialist spivs called politicans , bureaucrats, and their commie bum buddies the greens and the A.C.F. are all culpable, everyone of the lying bastards. That is over above the criminal and onerous burden and economic damage of forcing real taxpayers to pay for these private pleausre parks for selfish, nasty, woo woo socialisto spivs who stuff parliaments, local councils and bureaucracies. Each one of you bastards are culpable.

All that makes Bracks a damned liar. He lies on a second count. Bracks has multiplied the amount of land shut down to economic usage, he has turned over vast tracts of Victoria into garbage dumps, bonfire piles. He is planning to lock up more vast tracts of land. He, his Cabinet of fellow Stalinist spivs, the bureaucrats, National and States Parks, the greens and ACF, all of them are turning Victoria into one giant incinerator. The conditions are not the same as those that prevailed in the years up to Ash Wednesday, they are now far far wrose, because the Bracks Junta has multiplied them many times over. Thus, Bracks has told another bare-faced, rotten lie, a rotten lie about something with truly horrifying ramifications.

This is January, bushfire season is not over, the hottest period in summer is February. The fires have not consumed the sheer mass of tonnes of fuel per square yard accumulated in dah bloody commie scams called `National Parks and State Forests’ and so forth. Only a tiny fraction of the fuel has been spent. Bracks and his Cabinet have,over their time in office, added megatons of highly explosive fuel by locking upmore large swathes of Victoria. That is all that they have done. In doing so, they are, effectively, prepared to put property and lives in danger so they can propritiate the Greeny Goddess of Death and Destruction, yes, that is what it amounts too. They can’t plead ingnorance, it is well established what the source of devestating bushfires is.

Next to the economic losses of locking up land and turning it into impenetrable, useless, ugly, valueless jungle, next to the sheer tax burden of having to keep those commie jokers called National and State Parks, who play at being foresters, the bloody useless delinquent fuckwits, Brackies Wacksie and co are effectively putting lives and property into great danger by the whole commie scam of locking up land, so that bastards like them can feel good and holy. Well, Bracks is not good and holy, he is a commie stalinist lying spiv who, along with all the other socialisto arseholes named above, are the real criminal culprits. Their pol potian progrom of, make all return to nature, thus is a deliberate willingness to throw the property and lives of many Victorians away, in order that they can indulge their pol potian pleasures.

Proof: Just as in the Canberra fires and previous devestating bushfires, thoroughly commerically worked forests and land has either stopped in some cases or slowed to bugger all fires pouring out of dah parks and other oh so bloody naturale `reserves’. Yes, that’s right, non-govt., private owned land has shown out, again, not much of a toe-hold for fire. The only thing driving these fires is `Parks’ and stretches outside of parks which the commie bastards have turned into, effectivley, lanes for fast burning, furious, destructive, terrifying bush-fires.

Each and everyone of those commie lying shites should be held responsible. Instead of taxpayers, for example, paying compensation to the dead, and Insurance companies and taxpayers compensating for property destruction, each of those bastards should be sued for damages. They are responsible, it is after all their larcenous actions in locking up land up and so turning them into bonfire dumps, and in turning tracts outside `parks’ into fire lanes by vegetating them with volatile garbage, which is the cause of monster bushfires, as these fires are. Those bastards, not anyone else, should be made to pay for the losses: the fucking socialisto politicians, the Stalinist Bracks Junta, the Pol Potian Greens and those usless scumbags of the ACF, and dah National Parks,State Parks, EPAs, and D.E.S., all of them, profiteering at taxpayers expense, advancing their stupid little careerahs, while imposing their pol potian commie fantasies , they are the criminal bastards who are responsible and they should be hauled before the courts and made to pay compensation for their rotten criminal actions which are the reason for such devestation, and charges of murder should be contemplated, for those `policies’ entail directly putting lives of others at risk, it has been realised again. Why is that not considered murder when, anyone else who did something similar would be charged for murder ! That is correct, anyone else who did something similar, fully alert it could kill anyone, would be charged with murder, and it is certain they would be charged with murder in Victoria because of the otherise totalitarian police state `laws’ the Bracks Junta has rammed through Parliament .

Bracks, is a liar, he spins lines to save his butt. That little snivelling Stalinist shit is busy about locking more land up, turning Victoria into Hell’s furnace, he is all about sacrifining others on the alter to his Stalinist - Pol Potain Gods and fantasies.

That he is narcissitic shows up in: Bracks wants to march the game’s flag in the opening ceremony, that other commie fraud, dah common-wealth games. Apprarently, it is the job of the Lord Mayor, not that one gives a stuff about that and the games. To get around it, Bracks has had altered the pertinent article stating who will do what changed to read:

The Number One Citizen will carry the flag.

Ladies and gentleman, that reads like something straight out of the socialist totalitarian regimes Nazi, Communist and Fascist, and worship of dah dear leadahs, much like Cuba and North Korea still. What one earth does `No.1. citizen’ mean except, as it meant from ancient kingship to of socialists today, they are little bloody goddies in shoes and free to trample over all, who are suppose to admire and adore the fucking lying useless usurious bastards. No 1 citizen, fuck off Bracks, you are only a number one Jo bloody Stalin .

Anyway, what a juvenile, cretinous little, narcissistic cretinous moron Bracks is, shoves Lord Mayor So out of the way so he, Bracks, puckering his fat lips in his fixed lubricious smile, can be adored by all those who have been stupid enough to buy tickets to the totalitarian tradition of games and parades. Hubris, deciet, conceit, and contempt poured all over on top of the economic damage and taxes Victorians have been put to so that the Junta and their venal, craven, hangers-on can take centre stage, feed off a constantly filled hogs trough - inclusive of expensive dinners and other grand freebies taxpayers will be made to pay for poured on non-stop for a fortnight of horrid rubbish.

Sod those spoilt juvenile delinuent spoilt brats too, dah athletes. Couldn’t give a shit that it’s, as so many of them bilge on, sounding no less cretinous than Bracks himself, `it’s a once in a life-time opportunity’ ,and, `Melbournians have a rare occasion to see us perform’. Yuk and fuck, watch a pack of sweating ugly fuglies run aournd like bloody headless chooks making an exhibition of themselves so that they can show what super duper nasty little juvenile delinquents they really are - at real taxpayers’ expense - inlcuding the sheer number of jobs that will be lost because, the games have to be paid out by the fucking politicans sacking capital, sacking private property, real businesses. Coudn’t give a fig Mr. and Mrs. Jones that your little Sally or Johnny is to compete, she/he/it can compete at anywhere at your own expense before anyone stupid enough to fork over their hard earned to watch little Sally or Johnny and make her/him /it feel good.

Why should one be sacked so that they, dah pollies , dah bureaucrats, and spongers such as Ron Walker and fucking `athletes’, can feel good, be adulated by the lumpenmasse and admire Bracks’ fucking navel ! The bastards can pay for their indulgence out of their own pockets. You, Ron Walker are party to the fraud and extortion that dah Games involves, so you, like Bracks and co, can sell up your home and your chattels, stocks and and any other capital you have, and stump up the cost out of your own bloody fat pocket, along with multi-millionaire ( by theft from taxpayers) Bracks and his Cabinet of rotten, lying totalitarian assholes, and that goes for that dumbed down boof headed good for nothing former boofy player called a Simon Madden, Minster of Sportz. Straight out of Jo Stalin’s text book: how to be a vile criminal scumbag and be adulated and make people pay you for being a vile criminal scumbag, along with propaganda rags in tow called Moa’s little bum wipe Red Age, and, Bracks personal Herald the shoe shine Sun boy .

They should be made to pay up because they are spending Victorians into the gutters and, sacrificing their lives and their property, and sacking them for more taxes, so that they can have private pleasure parks, in which they worship Evil Bitch Mudder Nature. That’s the sum of it readers, and the sum of what Bracks is , and of what they have done to Victorians , and continue doing to Victorians round the clock non-stop.

The culpability for the fires can be sheeted home to those rotten useless cretinous good for nothing at bloody all commie mongrels. They should be held accountable. Everyone who has suffered losses in the fires should, enjoin in joint action so each that of those bastards are made to face up to what they have done. They, not taxpayers, should stump up , made to stump up because they have deliberately done things which engender dangers readily realised, as has occurred now, and that makes them criminally culpable to boot.

All those who have suffered losses must work up the nerve to stand up to those who put their lives and property in grave danger, find Barristers who have the guts to carry such a case right up to each of those lying, criminal, wicked, rotten good for nothing bastards, beginning with issuing all possible writs against Bracks and each member of his cabinet, and working through every one of the lying sods responsible for the commie scheme of locking up land, at real taxpayers’ expense and economic damage, and turning it into, the upshot, dynamite ready to be blown. As pointed out in the post below, privately owned `old growth’ forests, commerically worked, are in superior conditon in the U.S., with `rare ‘animals thriving and increasing in numbers and, unlike `national parks’ , are not fire bombs ready to blow at the slightest flicker of, say, lightening.

It is time to sell of `govt. owned parks’ to those who can work them profitably and thus properly and, because of that, eliminate the risk of future catastrophic infernos. That is the only solution. Dull, half-witted clerics, committed to socialism, as dumbed down as Bracks, and also as Bracks does, speak in Dick and Dora cliches,are fond of saying, `They who know the price of everything , know the value of nothing.’ It is, contrary to those pinkoes pretending to be apostolic christains, the reverse. Prices are established because so many do place values on things, no value, no price. Hmm, indeed, high classical art was an entrepenurial affair, contrast that to the hideous garbage purveyed as art, churned out by sookie, hand-wringing medicants called `artistes’. Those good for nothing dropkicks are forcibly kept to real taxpayers’ expense. Point? Those who pay for art themselves are better judges of art, and value art, unlike all the socialisto spivs in govt. robbing taxpayers to keep cretins churning out leftoid propanda and shit and calling it art, the regime of the U.S.S. called such hideous bullshit `socialist realist art’. Same with forestry: the greenies, the `A.C.F.’, the Bracks Junta, the bureaucrats the sociaisto spivsd all parties who support coercing taxpayers to keep their private leisure parks, no not the price of their indulgence and vlaue niether than nor the lives and poperty who wake up one morning to find their new neighbours are tree hugging commie spivs and shits. Yes, take to court the commie shites who are the real villains behind this horrifying mess , begin with the No.1 Criminal Good for nothing at all Commie , Steve Jo Stalin Bracks, for he is directly responsible for it. Take each of them to the cleaners, they deserve it.

N.B.: the Greeny front, the Australian Conservation Foundation has had bestowed upon it by both the major parties in each tier of `govt.’ secret goon sqaud police state powers to enforce dikat against private propert order and adjacent land. Thus, roadside jungle is not cleared, fallen timber is not removed, undergrowth not gutted, in country Victoria. Anyone who does so, if caught by the commie pol potian lying shits of the ACF, will be charged with criminal offences either at Local Council, or State Govt. or Federal Govt. level through `EPAs’ of each tier’.

So many country roads now , effectively, extend the dangers of the commie scams called reserves, national parks, state parks, conservation parks and reserves, by serving as fuel heavy fire lanes along which devestating bushfires, which do start in those obscene impositions, shoot forth out of those over-sized garbage dumps and straight out into properties and towns. Thus, even roads and other areas outside of the commie private pleasure parks so `re-vegetated’, extend the reach of ferocious bushfires and thus:

Counter the fire retarding and halting properties of throughly worked and cleaned of fuel forests and land. Bush fires travel around along the effective route extenders into property and town, taking lives, destroying property including live-stock.

The only cheering consolation is, the untold numbers of `wild, native’ animals and plants burnt to cinders - it’s the irony, the gas of a joke in an otherwise ugly plot, the commie policy of locking up land against private poperty title and commercial usage has the nominal aim of preserving those ugly beasties but, ensures their destruction too and in very large numbers. Consider: 50,000 sheep and 1,000 cattle burned to death out in the open , that might be an insight, by a fraction only, of the many more thousands of animals in the wild so killed. Rare animals fired into extinction overnight. It’s so damned funny one just enjoys contemplating the commie lying assholes of ACF and its parent the Greenies choking with apopolexy when made to face the real ramifications of those tributes to pol potian communism, `govt. owned parks &etc.’ , just continuous destruction of the very things they claim to protect, cannot protect, and never have protected. Only entrepenuers do that, if they are left to take up absolute property rights in dah forests and work them profitably.

States’ and “National” parks, federal and States’ “EPAs”, and “departments of Sustainability Environment” are all criminally culpable for the catastrophe of bush fires.

Fires rage West, North and South in Victoria.  Over 60, 000 hectares in South Australian have been burned by a fire started inside a S.A. Govt. `Conservation Park. Another fire started late last night in, again, a S.A. Govt. “Park” on the border with Victoria. A major bushfire is raging in W.A., again in another bloody ‘conservation park” park, which real taxpayers are forced to pay for the pleasure of environmental cultists, and their worship of the Greenie Goddess of Death and Destruction,  Mudder bloody Nature.

Over 100,000 hectares have been already been burnt in the Grampians, State and national forests , reserves and conservation parks of Victoria. The fire, with its main fuel source bloody govt. parks ensuring the fire, on multiple fronts, continues to rage. Another fire started late last night in the Otways, 5,000 hectares swiftly burned, in an inaccessible tract, CFA and locals are crossing their fingers the CFA can ring the fire and praying no strong winds and heat drive this outbreak and for a good reason:

Bracks buying the votes of Green fanatics, closed commercial forestry in the Otways (as well as for all but an indistint % in one of the vast atom bombs covering Victoria). These forests now have several years of accumulated highly inflammable fuel on the floors and as much again in the canopies. Should the fire leap, that’s it, the Otways will be one splendid, super-sized barbecue which will make Ash Wednesday look like a modest backyard cook-out affair.

These fires are real rip-snorting, sulphur and brimstone monsters. All generated in land turned feral by stupid politicians and bureaucrats. Aland grab by nasty brats and it is everyone else who pays all the way through to, finally, their property and their lives.

In non govt. land, the fire lanes  out of government feral jungles were imposed by bloody politicians and their goon squads, “departments of environment (& sustainability), The Australian Conservation Foundation, once headed by corrupter of youths Peter Garrett , the Greens, and EPA. They turned land along roadsides into a jungle of inflammable rubbish. These are the fire-lanes out of the atom bombs of governmet jungles.To back this up, the Federales through its EPA , and the Bracks  Cabinet, and their lesser but no less snivelling, dictatorial tossers in Local Councils, have overthrown private property rights to force land-owners to stuff their land with the same catastrophe inducing cocktail, the turning of well maintained land into dynamite.

Who are the worst neighbours? The aforesaid. As it is, landowners have enough difficulties with, say National Parks basically protecting feral animals and noxious weeds. National Parks and their politicial masters can’t even take care of those two modest problems. They can’t run forests. The whole damned lot of them are useless, professional dole bludging pricks, and far worse than bad neighbours.

If you discover you live next door to a dangerous criminal, you don’t take a chance, you don’t sit still, consider the best of the scumbag, and hope he won’t murder you, won’t murder kith and kin, won’t murder anyone. You get on the telephone and have big beefy coppers from C.I.B. round pronto to haul the dangerous bastard off. It is not a secret that ferocious, life and property destroying fires are on land not in commercial production, as against land under agriculture and forestry.

Yes, it is intentionally criminal, locking up land and, making them nothing more than massive bombs awaiting detonation. This is no joke. It is exactly what the politicians and their enforcers have done, and continue to do.

All those who have lost live-stock, plant, machinery, feed, commercially worked forests, factories, and homes, and their insurers should all of them should make each of the  bastards directly liable as in fact they are. Prosecute the good for nothing bums, and sue them for damages to the hilt. The many victims and insurers should issue writs containing criminal charges up to and including the most serious, murder . But, not against the “Government” as such, which means only taxpayers will be stuck for the bills. No, the respondents should be each of the bastards culpable of what is nothing less than, in the first place, criminal larceny against firms and taxpayers, the locking up of land, and in doing so, deliberately ensuring many face grave dangers. As it is, some in the way of fires have lost their lives, others nearly have. Criminal charges of murder should be issued against the following:

Each Member of the Bracks Cabinet. The members of the `Australian Conservation Foundation. The Greens. The Professional “Woo Woo” bludgers of - EPAs - Federal & State & Local Councils. The Victorian “Department of Sustainability and Environment”.”National” and “State”  “Parks”. Local Councillors and their “careerahist” hacks called “local govt. officers and managers”. Politicians, all parties, Left and Right, who are culpable for turning land into their private property and that of the above named cretins.

They are all of them directly culpable of the horrors of bush fires. They must be held directly liable, instead of owners, companies and real taxpayers having to bear the burden of the intentional criminal actions of the aforesaid bastards.

Intentional, not unintentional. Moreover, not satisfied with these already hideous, criminal actions, Bracks is to lock up more land to render it feral and so dynamite. Unbelievable.

As an experiment, the U.S. Federal Govt. sold off large tracts of National Parks to forestry companies. The results are in:

Those tracts are in superior condition than those still under the private control of government and their hangers on. The superior condition includes species of animals and plants previously considered rare to on the verge of extinction,  proliferating in great numbers, as opposed to the waning populations of “Government forests” One very important reason is, those tracts are now not subject to devastating bush fires. Commercial forestry made the tracts fire retardents. Funnily enough, commercial forests in Australia are also fire suppressants.

Having full property title, the way companies work forests eliminates the criminal, dangerous non-forestry much beloved by bloody politicians and their useful idiots.

While on the topic: can anyone fathom why it is in Victoria that Orwellian named bureaucracy, the Department of Sustainability and Environment controls the CFA? This lot telling the CFA how to suck fire-fighting eggs, what a joke. A bigger joke since the DSE is one of those who create the fire atomic bombs in the first place.

The CFA has been placed under the control of the D.S.E. by Bracks. It’s a goon squad, devoted to enforcing diktat driven by woo woo beliefs. And this lot tell fire-fighters how to fight a fire, safe from within their bloody expensive, air-conditioned, real taxpayer kept offices.

On Saturday evening, commencing with the socialist,  collectivist plural “our”, the chief woo woo of D.S.E. stated gravely and profoundly: “Our fire fighting lines will be sorely tested tomorrow”. Wow, golly gosh, you don’t say, you useless overpaid dipstick.

Another moron from that goon squad, a PR girly, said something equally inane this morning. Well,  the poor bastards of the CFA, who have sweltered all through it and continue to stew as they fight, must be oh so thrilled that on top of them ride assholes who don’t even have a clue as to what a bushfire does. Just bloody brilliant.

One muses: has the Chief of the CFA hasn’t, during the course of the fight, suggested a few ripe things to the useless bastards such as, `Eff off, stop stuffing around with the CFA, get out of my way you pack of good for nothing, snivelling #@@*!^&^^%’. I’d be surprised if he hasn’t.
