“The worst thing” : Inept defenders of Liberty.”

Following Bastiat’s summary of combat, yet, “Inept” is rather a polite description of the HR Nicholls Society, the IPA, the CIS, Quadrant, and the journalists pretending to be economic commentators, Alan Wood and Terry McCrann. How bad that lot is typified by the HR Nicholls Society’s demolition of what is a sound, thus highly moral, case, freeing up labour markets.

It is curious, however, to muse, as the reform was a major objective of the Federal Cabinet, the same failed to prepare the case far more thoroughly before launching it, by seeking out and inviting others who could supply sound ,as well as contrary advice ( to examine it thoroughly) rather than relying on the HRNS. In fact, the really amusing thing, they need not have paid a single cent for sound advice.

Mr. Jackson laid the case out exhaustively on Brookesnews and then in Labour Market Wars. Moreover, even funny, in two podcasts, in a series of seven, by Prodos, Mr. Jackson not only reprised the economics of labour markets, and why the opponents were wrong, and where they were wrong, but, whether it was his intention to do so or not I can’t tell, but it comes across as:

He also mapped out a public campaign for the Cabinet. He laid out how to take on union bosses, hit them with accurate fire, and win. Moreover, he made plain, the campaign had to pay respect to voters, laying out the case soundly, to demonstrate it is sound, and thus win agreement through sweet reason.

Labor Market Reform: How Unions and Governments Cause Unemployment

2006Labor Market Reform: Can unions protect wages?

[The full series is available on the link attached to the above podcasts.]

But that is not what the Cabinet and the HRNS did. They did not run on sound economic theory. They did not study their opponents. They did not study what they had to do convince voters. They did not study their opponents, and discover how to hurt them, and in open public exchange in and outside the media, in and outside of Parliament, blow for blow.

Their failure and cowardice ensured voters were not engaged. Voters went to sleep and the opponents to reform found the battlefield clear to run riot over a pack of puny, inept twits - principally Hugh Morgan, Des Moore and Ray Evans.

Their failure and cowardice , typical of leftists and rightists, told voters that the in-group regard them as nothing more than children. Children, not anyone of reason, are spoken down to and disciplined. Disgustingly, the tactics taken were those favoured by charlatans, gurus, and the left, regard Australians as infantile and spank them.

Indeed, those three gurus killed the campaign on the very night it was launched, as we have written up. Hugh Morgan, fresh from purchasing a $750,000 painting, appeared on the ABC to tell us that Australians on the minimum wage were overpaid. How insular, how nasty, how unprincipled, how callous, how contemptuous of Australians this multimillionaire was, and still is ( as we will prove in another article).

It is worth keeping to the fore: that lot are completely ignorant of the economics of labour markets to the extent that they asserted as true the very falsehoods the opponents used to try and defeat the reforms and, unfortuantely, with great success ( we will adrumbate how ret their victory is in another item). Jackson has covered the falsehoods that not only theleft told, but also self styled free market warriors iterated as true economic thoerems. I’ve covered a number of what are not mere falsehoods, not even mistakes, but lies. ( The files will be up opn this site Wednesday, as well as those covering the KKR).

One thing I didn’t cover is:

Capital theory is completely missing in the papers and statements of Des Moore, Ray Evans and Hugh Morgan. By this, I mean elementary theory, for capital and capital formation is itself a massive field in economic theory. For readers wishing to find out and learn what they will never get a hint of from the HR Nicholls Society, the IPA and the CIS, we will put up a reading list but, be warned, don’t bother if you are like that lot, and won’t apply yourself to absorbing and understanding the subject matter.

This article will be resumed after Tuesday next.

Bracks has resigned : Commissar No.2, John Brumby is Premier of Brackistan

Why has he resigned? Media are speculating that he resigned because of his family. My betting is, there is a scandal in the wind. However, in either case, that man cannot be allowed to quit without getting his just deserts for all the monstrous ‘laws’ he has rammed through Parliament and the massive theft and squander he has committed.

His resignation speech is just a long list of lies, and soon as a transcript of it is available, I will eviscerate it for the pack of lies it is, every one of them. His speech could be called “Eva Peron says don’t cry for me Argentina”, and Victorians are yet to fully discover the extent of the carnage that man is responsible for.

Robert Doyle, Kroger’s Glove Puppet, was on the radio, showing out to be a sycophantic fan of that rotten, good for nothing, tyrant:
” I admire him…He will be a great loss to Victorians….”

How on earth could anyone contemplate Doyle as Liberal -oh, I forget, Kroger and his Toorak Brahmin mates are not Liberals.

Robert Doyle, like his puppet master, doesn’t give a stuff about Victorians: it shows:
Doyle and his fellow blobbies pretending to be Liberal MPs fully backed the totalitarian blasphemy law.

Doyle doesn’t give a stuff about the fact that Victorians face real dangers, try ruination due to the squander and plunder of the Bracks Regime.

No, Doyle has expressed firm support for it, typified in his enthusiasms for those frauds called the Commonwealth games and the Grand Prix. On the second, why, this year, Doyle waxed lyrical - “its fun, we need fun” Yes, and the Soviet Union, and the Nazi Govt. threw on fun too. More to the pint, not only can individuals make their own fun, they are not sacked to subsidise the pleasures of Doyle, Bracks, and other wealthy, good for nothing bastards - and one of the biggest is Ron Walker, who has been made a wealthy man simply by Bracks stealing from taxpayers to fund Grand Prix, Commonwealth Games, and many another oh so glorious an fun Sporting even - why that other tribute to spasticity run early this year, an “international event” so juveniles could get together for a very, very expensive swim in.

I apologise readers, but listening to the “media”, Robert Doyle and callers shedding tears over a totalitarian scumbag called a Steve Bracks has near impelled me to throw a brick at something - Doyle’s head would do, or that snivelling fool called a Neil Mitchell. So, I just have to be satisfied with a bit of bad language for, in reality, letting that crim called a Steve Bracks fade away into the background is not justice.

That man, with his colleagues, should be hauled before a court on serious criminal charges. And, to remind readers, I have written up on cases which are cause for a full criminal investigation into the Attorney General’s department, cabinet, the Office of State Trustees, and that is just one of the myriad of violent actions Steve Bracks is culpable off.

I’d like to say good riddance to bad rubbish, but I can’t, not while that man is yet to be brought to book for his actions as Premier - Bah! Not a Premier, just another bloody “Dear Leader”.

Follow up to :Liberal Party Australia News Flash: KKR Marches against Canberra

To make it plainer, per illustration, if it needed any further adumbration, here are some more articles, which lift out the types Bolte, and Blair have jumped into bed with:

The first, Liberal Party blue bloods scared to challenge Bracks’ Muslim blasphemy law, quotes, aptly, Bastiat:

As Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) pointed out more than a 150 years ago:
The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is not to be skilfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.

The article also zeroes in on that spineless, finger-wagging, ineffectual hypocrite, Robert Doyle. The reason is, he was Kroger’s man. It’s amusing, because one has further cause to stick Doyle, when I put up the item on Hugh Morgan and Ron Walker.

Do not forget, Doyle and the blobbies fully backed Bracks’ Blasphemy Bill.

Bolte, of course, is another of the “worst thing(s)”, an “inept defend(er)” of liberty.

The second is, Michael Kroger gets a savaging while the Victorian Liberal Party crumbles

Which sheets home, again, Kroger wrecked the Party.

The above is an addition to many articles on Brookesnews tracking what Kroger and his chums have done to the Liberal Party over the years, and the articles I put up on what Kroger and his chums did last year to Liberals and Party.

Bolte believes Kroger and Costello are the epitome of principle and acumen, and judgement, and defenders of Liberty. Those two are worse than “inept”. Bolte, your column isn’t simply tripe; it makes you look totally ridiculous and a complete fool, and possessed of the same acumen as Kroger’s, non-existent. You back types who have not only ruined the Victorian Liberal Party, but are busy wrecking the Federal Party.

Moreover, extrapolate from that and ponder, what does it mean also for Government. Imagine, if voters were so easily duped, a majority consisting of Kroger clones. Imagine the damage they can wreak. Doyle, and Ted “The Toorak Village Idiot” and the “Blobbies” have demonstrated they are not fit to be entrusted with office.

They are the unprincipled, treacherous, spineless thugs, Bolte admires and supports them. Wow, Bolte, you are qualified to be a Kroger political adviser.

We will continue throwing up links to items documenting the thuggery of Kroger and his Brahmin Kronies. There will be no relief for that ineffectual blowhard called Bolte.

Liberal Party Australia News Flash: KKR Marches against Canberra.

I couldn’t help throwing in that line as the header. Well, I received a newsflash, from a very good source, yesterday evening, to this effect:

“Kroger is giving an interview and will be published in tomorrow’s edition of the Australian.”

Readers might object, “ Wow, gob-smacking stuff, now give us a real scoop”.

There is a little bit more to that snippet, the reason my source contacted me. It is tied to what I warned of last year when reporting on the treachery and thuggery of Kroger and his glove puppets – in summary:

While there is something comical in the vision of Kroger, his bosom and only pal Peter Costello, and the glove puppets staging a coup de tat against the Prime Minister, it is black amusement.

When I wrote on Kroger’s imposition of puppets, including his retarded ex wife, as candidates in safe Federal Liberal seats, I warned Kroger will do to the Federal Liberal Party, what he’s done to the Victorian Division, completely wreck it. Between Costello, Turnbull, and Kroger, Liberals should be very disturbed, for that lot of power hungry, cowards, whose instincts are authoritarian, will sink the Federal Liberal Party to the bottom of the political ocean, effortlessly.

Andrew Bolte wrote an article in the Herald Sun, demanding the Prime Minister resign in favour of Peter Costello. What drew my attention to it is, he was on the radio yesterday morning defending his fatuous, conceited, infantile foot-stamping demand. When asked why, he stumbled, then, badly recovering, declared:

“Five weeks ago, I wrote, if the Prime Minister is still travelling badly in the polls he must resign.”

No Bolte, you demand Howard resign because you said he must.

The Liberal Party looks doomed, but it has nothing to do with Bolte’s “reasons”. Bolte’s piece is a nasty, little, ad hominen, sarcastic, reflection on Howard, in favour of Peter Costello, e.g.:

He must quit because he’s done so well he should be red hot to win the next election.
Instead, every poll this year agrees he’s stumbling to the mother of all hidings

And yesterday’s pictures of him falling over are devastating in their symbolism.
He can keep boasting about…

There is a curious statement in it , which recurs in Kroger’s “interview”:

Time to turn the dial because voters seem bored to sobs by Howard after 11 years, and especially by that last half a decade of yammer about terror, Iraq and lies…
They insist in poll after poll they want to hear another track,

Given all that, what could Costello possibly do that Howard couldn’t do better?
Simple. He’d make voters listen again to the Liberals, in a way Howard no longer can.
He’s new. He’d change the topic from Howard’s stumbles to Costello’s plans. From the past to the future.

Voters will take a fresh look at him and give him the chance we won’t give Howard. Many Liberals will think it cruel to dump such a fine leader now.

But Downer in particular must consider how much crueller it would be to let Howard drift on like this to a terrible defeat, begging for votes from people who no longer care to listen.
Spare him at least that.

No, Bolte, spare readers your drivel.

Bye the bye, why, Bolte, must Downer do as you/Kroger demand? Downer is an obstacle to Kroger and Costello. This has nothing to do with Bolte. Downer, interestingly, would make a better Prime Minister than Costello, or Turnbull. What Downer requires, is solid advice in economics to complete him. His qualities, and decency are a sharp contrast to Costello’s and Turnbull’s deficiencies. And, Bolte demands Downer backs Costello! Is Bolte serious? Parrots repeat their trainers’ gems.

The Australian has reprinted Bolte’s petulant, girly level tripe this morning, along with the Kroger “interview”.

Kroger is neither so direct nor so crude in saying, “Howard must resign, because I demand it”, but that is exactly what he is saying:

QUESTION: Are we supposed to respect John Howard and Peter Costello as leaders if they can’t get on personally?

Kroger: They do get on professionally.

The real problem the Coalition has got has …

…is that the electorate is basically bored. There’s no anger out there, there’re no baseball bats, no one’s marching the streets calling on the Government to be thrown out of office. I don’t detect anger. What I do detect is boredom. People perhaps wanting a fresh face. They’ve been in government a long time … That’s the challenge the Government has got: to convince the electorate that things will change dramatically if there’s a change of government … Unless (Rudd addresses the number one issue which is the budgetary situation in this country), (Labor’s) lead is going to evaporate very very quickly …

An extroadinary co-incidence in sentiment and phrasing. As for, “the voters are “bored”:

It can be said, Rudd is a boring, spineless, power hungry, twitterer, so why is the ALP heading to victory? That, Mr. Freedom Fighter Bolte cannot, like Kroger, explain at all.

Bolte once boasted of his magnificent library filled with classical literature, tomes on art, opera, and ballet. Fine, but, the man styles himself as a free market warrior and yet, like the HR Nicholls Society, and the IPA, he doesn’t do his homework. He, like them, spends nothing on the material and books, which must be thoroughly understood, and kept abreast with, in order to take on the left, and fight them soundly. It shows, Bolte’s articles, most of them, on economics, Greens, law, and politics are lightly filled tripe.

Like them, Bolte rejoices in his ignorance. It, to reiterate, shows, he is a complete blank. What he has is a $4,000 a week job, for merely flapping his mouth a couple of times a week. Bolte the freedom fighter, terror of the left, Bah!

There are social connections between Bolte and Kroger. They are both in the HR Nicholls Society. Bolte, like Tim Blair, is impressed by his elevation into the closed gene pool, they are one of them. Bolte has ‘arrived”.

Kroger has picked his man well, shallow and full of hubris, bereft of brains and principles, an easy target to seduce. Kroger has carefully stroked Bolte and it has paid off, Bolte’s piece is evidence of that. There-in, is the point to why my source contacted me. If, reader, you draw a one way arrow from Kroger to Bolte, we have the background to Bolte’s sterling work.

Bolte demands the Prime Minister hand over to Costello? No, it is Michael Kroger and his pal, Peter Costello who demand it. That, Bolte, isn’t it, what the article is all about. Bolte is only serving Kroger, by advancing Kroger’s aims. He’s only used his position as a journalist and the pages of newspapers to do it. Bolte has the hide to attack leftist journalists for such abuses of their position!

Hmm, the Bolte and Kroger articles are not journalism. For your benefit, Bolte, your piece, on behalf of Kroger and Costello, is not journalism, is not political analysis, it is not even mediocre commentary: it is propaganda. Bolte, what is it you say about leftist journalists?

Senior figures in Victoria are more than merely fed up to the gills with Kroger and the prats he has pimping for him. They are furious at the treachery, and the sheer damage they are doing to the liberal Party, and Liberalism.

Oh, it registers no more with Bolte than Kroger that:

Prime Minister, and the leadership of the Liberal Party, are not private,feudal titles handed down to self-appointed successors. No Bolte, it is the right of electors to decide the former, and Liberal Party members the latter. They are not, Mr. Bolte, positions, which two venal, cowardly, treacherous thugs called Kroger and Costello can decide is theirs and can take at whim.

Moreover, Mr. Bolte, the electors around Australia were disgusted, outraged their rights were overthrown in the grotty, corrupt, succession deal between Hawke and Keating. They were furious at the fact, by it, Hawke and Keating, and their backers, revealed nothing but contempt for their “fellow Australians”. Angered by the fact, Hawke and Keating, and the ALP, treated the electors of Parliaments and Ministers as old rubber stamps to their venal desires.

It also disclosed, Hawke and Keating to be conceited, arrogant, and authoritarian in instinct.

Recollect, Bolte, the Liberal Opposition, and Costello was in the Shadow Ministry, attacked Hawke and Keating, in and out of Parliament over all that. So, what does Bolte notice? Nothing that is otherwise crystal clear to electors:

The sheer hypocrisy of Costello, Kroger and their backers. What if Liberals were to do as Kroger/Bolte demands, rubber stamp Costello as Prime Minister? The Liberal Party would look as black as the ALP did, totally corrupt.

Bolte does not have a single clue as to why the Liberal Party is facing defeat. What he does show is that he is full of, like Kroger, Costello, their Toorak Brahmin backers, and Turnbull and his chums:

Contempt for Liberal Party members, and contempt for the great majority of Australians. In fact, his piece reads, pleased at having been adopted like a pet lamb by the ‘in-set’, Bolte assumes he too can play “king-maker”. After all, that is exactly what the tone of his trash reveals:

“Sod Liberal Party members, sod Australians, I Bolte have decided you will have Costello.”

Ah, Bolte, but Kroger won’t like that. You had best toady up to him again quick smart.

“I’m sorry, Kroger, you are king-maker… any more propaganda you’d like me to write?”

You see Bolte, Kroger is nice to his sycophants and puppets, so long as they keep their place – and it has taken Bolte, as Blair too, some years and much boot-licking to be put in their place by that lot.

Is Bolte such a dolte that he can’t see, Costello is detested by the vast majority of Liberal Party members around Australia, and the vast majority of Australians. They won’t suffer that man, nor Turnbull, as leader, let alone, Prime Minister of Australia.

“No worries”, says Bolte, “stuff Australians, due process, principles. It’s what we…er…um, what Petey and Mikey want that counts, that’s wot”.

Bolte can’t light up a tiny bulb.

The ALP won’t have to fight for election victory if Kroger and Costello get their way. What remains of the rapidly dwindling membership will also vote against a Costello Cabinet. That’s right Bolte, you moron, that is how bad Costello is, the vast majority of Liberal Party members are in no doubt as to what that man is. Bolte, they barely tolerate him as treasurer.

The left can’t be defeated when, Toorak Brahmin, their pet thugs, Kroger and Costello, puppets, and fools who pose as conservative freedom fighters – Moore, Morgan… Woods, … Bolte, are in the way, have to be deal with first.

Along with P.P McGuiness, and McCrann, these feedom fighting journalists are a joke to the left. The left scream in public,

“ don’t hurt us Hugh Morgan/ Costello/ Turnbull/ Des Moore/ Alan Woods/ Bolte, you nasty man”.

In private, they enjoy those “righties” as a source of endless mirth. Yes, Bolte, you too.

Bolte, like the rest, achieves one thing only, undermining liberalism and handing victory over to the left. Yes, Bolte, that is how effective you are. You are well placed as a member of Kroger’s single celled brain trust.

Kroger, Costello, and the puppets have to be flung out of the Party. Their Toorak Brahmin backers, given a thorough hiding by the members of the party. As for Bolte, he can stick by them, and be caned too, or:

He can turn to the only thing he might be competent to do: newspaper commentary on the arts.

One has more to write on the HR Nicholls Society, and Kroger. Bolte, a spineless, vain, dilletante, is, therefore, in the sights. He’s one of them, the wreckers of the Liberal Party, so, the boy also has to take what is to come, and that atrocious garbage he wrote shows he thoroughly deserves it.

To illuminate the types Bolte, and Blair, are in bed with, a revealing anecdote:

A certain man in the Toorak brigade, ‘self-made’ by shuffling paper for the right types, and a proud owner of a porsche he purchased new, declared the Government should force the price of fuel to $5 a litre. That way, he continued, all other Victorians, and their second hand cars, will be forced off the roads, leaving the roads free for the right types.

That man distils the character of the types Bolte, and Blair mingle with. To draw this out further, as already mentioned, we will turn the blow torch onto Hugh Morgan, and his chum Ron Walker, in another article.

They are people who mirror the left, they hold many Australians in contempt, regard them as so many sheep who shite all over the roads, good only for slaughtering and eating up.

You see such types through magnifying lenses called Kroger, Costello, Hugh Morgan, Malcolm Turnbull…

It’s false to believe that it is only leftists who are venal, treacherous, craven, vain, arrogant, contemptuous of anyone but themselves, authoritarian in instincts, thuggish. Their kissing cousins control the Victorian Liberal Party.

Yup, Bolte is keeping fine company indeed. Kroger must be very pleased with the new boy in his pocket.

Liberal Party: Malcolm Turnbull is in trouble, “he must go”, say Liberal Party members around Australia. Part I.

Only a small rump of Liberals wishes to see Costello succeed Howard one day. They are Kroger, his Toorak Brahmin backers, and Kroger’s glove puppets in 104 Exhibition St. Oh, bye the bye, cheer up Michael “Darth Mikey” Kroger, Julian “Iron Man Jules Shitzeel” Sheezel, and “Potty Mouth” Barry, 104 still leaks faster than a colander, and, I believe, readers are looking forward to more ripe revelations.

There are some, no better than are the above mobsters, who wish to see Turnbull in the number one job. Thus, we have the reason why Turnbull and Costello detest each other, and stab letter opening knives into each other’s back, they are both power hungry. Otherwise they could be bosom buddies, bed pals, “Bill and Ben, flower pot men”.

There are some ordinary members of the Liberal Party who have taken to Turnbull, “he’s much better than Costello”. No, no, no, and no again! That man is not fit to even hold a seat in Parliament, let alone a ministry. Come to that, Costello should be booted out too, but the man in the gun sight is Malcolm “full of watermelon red bull s.” Turnbull. In the course of the following items, we will also draw in Turnbull’s ideological bosom buddy, Peter “Corrupter of Youth” Garret.

An early insight to Turnbull, the Cowardly Thug,

Himself supplied a very good insight into Malcolm Turnbull the politician, during the Republican –Constitution “debate”, 1997-1998. Turnbull made plain his fury that many Australians could oppose the proposition. Turnbull’s notion of debate is what might be expected of leftists, and typifies what is called “community consultation” – a much favoured tactic of the Bracks’ Regime, when launching more nasty measures against the serfs in Brackistan.

You are free to quibble at the edges, how to arrange chairs around the Soviet built table, but not dispute the substance. In sum, debate means you are free only to agree and obey. “Community Consultation” is also a method of ‘crowd control’, with the objective of distilling two things, propaganda, and to feign that a measure has wide, general support, when it does not. Oh, and thirdly, to repeat, to circumvent real, hard, substantive debate.

The Churches, bye the bye, developed the method in the 1980’s, for those very reasons. “Clerical trainees” are thoroughly brainwashed into it, for all three reasons.

By ‘crowd control’, one means isolating those who dare question almighty gurus.

Turnbull is the same today but with one difference, he is minister of mysterious stenches, the Department of the “Environment”, and has been busy since his appointment early this year, planning the economic ruination of many Australians. With the media fully dedicated to voodoo, ‘crowd control’ is exerted on a large scale.

While shouting in Parliament, he, Turnbull, is smashing the Greens, he’s busy planning to impose measures the Greens demand, in order to immiserate Australians. This is what this article is about:

Turnbull the , and the disgusting failure of the Liberal Party, Federal and State, to smash the Greens and their allies, the ALP:

What we have witnessed is nothing less than the Liberal’s total collapse and surrender to the Left, on Greens’ aims. For that is what “Environmentalism” means, that is what the belief in the a-scientific rubbish of man and his “Co2 emissions” causes global warming means, that is what the measure to “ fight global warming”, and “preserving the environment” amounts to. Keep in view readers:

Last week, the Prime Minister announced a $600 millions brainwashing scheme. All school children are to be brainwashed more thoroughly into the voodoo beliefs that were once only the province of vicious types such as Garrett the “Corrupter of Youth” and his Greeny fan club (inclusive of the ABC).

Preceded by Kemp and Campbell, Turnbull is the 3rd Liberal Minister for voodoo.

He has announced measures that exceed anything the Cabinet has done to date. His measures promise extensive economic carnage, the ruination of many Australians. I begin with quite a contrast:

Unfortunately, not only ignorant politicians have swallowed the lies spun by the Greens – including Peter Garrett and his fellow wealthy “corrupters of youth” in the ACF. Senior business figures around Australia are betraying shareholders, consumers, and employees by fully supporting what is vile and evil fraud. Let’s name them, to point up the contrast:

Fascist Australians:

Mr. Chip Goodyear, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Chairman of the Group Management Committee. His c.v. is on the BHP site here:

Mr. Richard Pratt, head of the Pratt family company, Visy, and, Chairman of Carlton Football Club, and the Pratt family.

Dick Smith

Mr. Hugh Morgan, yes, that “freedom fighter’ and economic guru in Kroger’s brain’s trust, the HR Nicholls Society -:

In an article in the “Spencer Street Soviet”, The Age, April 7th, 2006, it was noted, Morgan and his pals of the “Australian Business Roundtable on Climate Change” had been meeting with those corrupters of youth and unofficial goon squad, the ACF over a long period.

Will Mr. Morgan answer what was discussed, and disclose, if any, what negotiations were conducted, the substance of any negotiations, and any deals made with that lot? The ABR must answer, and for good reasons which we will take up in an item dedicated to that wealthy moron called a Hugh Morgan.

Some companies:

Westpac, BP, power company Origin Energy, paper giant Visy and insurers Swiss Re and IAG , Konica Minolta Australia ( it proudly displays its good fascist credentials on its site here).

The editor of Brookes news drew an accurate observation on such companies:

‘Green Fascism and Corporate CEOs’,

What we have here is a particularly squalid attempt by a multinational corporation to use the greens destructive ideology to exploit the power of the state at the expense of consumers. It should be noted that consumers were never mentioned. Only the collective was worthy of consideration. Make no mistake, this is what Mussolini called stato corporativo or fascism for short.

The extent of BP Amoco’s intellectual bankruptcy can be gauged by Greg Bourne’s article Yes; even oil company execs worry about smog over our city (The Age, 7 May 1999). Here he parroted the green mantra of sustainable development, which amounts to no development at all. Now that he is CEO of the anti-growth and anti-people WWF-Australia we can expect more of the same.

Hmmm: remember what happened to Krupps? he believed that he could do the same thing, but under the Nazis, and they bankrupted him. What Australia’s “business families” and “CEO’s” have to answer is a Clint Eastwood type question:

“Well, punks, do you really believe you won’t follow Krupp? Well, punks, do you?”

The “punks” might try finding out:

How did Goering bankrupt Krupps?

Why did Goering bankrupt Krupps?

I’ll save the “punks” a little bit of effort, not much, on the second question: The same reason you are swindling shareholders, consumers, and employees over “environmentalism”, “alternative energy”, and other magical, primitive beliefs.

If they do believe they can succeed in what Krupps failed in, corporative, then they are not only ignorant, they are fools. Shareholders should shoot those CEOs and board members right out the door.

Planet Ark and its wealthy funders cannot be omitted either, their capricious, and corrupt actions cannot be ignored at all.

So, in view of the above let’s hear from a CEO who takes a totally different and dim view of the grand lies and frauds perpetrated to satisfy the Greens:

A CEO With A Spine

The New York Coal Trade Association, headquartered in New York City, recently held its 94th annual banquet and meeting at the New York Hilton. One of the guest speakers was Bob Murray, founder and CEO of Murray Energy Corporation and probably one of the few CEOs brave enough to challenge the militant climate control movement that threatens the future of America’s economy. In his speech, he dared to say that he regards Al Gore as the shaman of global doom and gloom. He is not joking when he says, “He is more dangerous than his global warming.”

“Some wealthy elitists in our country,” he told the audience, “who cannot tell fact from fiction, can afford an Olympian detachment from the impacts of draconian climate change policy. For them, the jobs and dreams destroyed as a result will be nothing more than statistics and the cares of other people. These consequences are abstractions to them, but they are not to me, as I can name many of the thousands of the American citizens whose lives will be destroyed by these elitists’ ill-conceived ‘global goofiness’ campaigns.”

Mr. Murray was a coal miner in Ohio who survived two mining accidents and built funds from a mortgaged house into a private coal mining company with more than 3,000 employees. He expresses concern about the proposals in Congress that will ration the use of coal, warning of much worse adverse consequences to Americans than those experienced after the 1990 amendment of the Clean Air Act.

Mr. Murray told me that he had seen the effect of the drastic reductions in coal production, and the wrenching impact on hundreds of communities, as a result of that legislation. In Ohio alone, from 1990 to 2005, about 118 mines were shut down…

Read the rest of, ” A CEO with a spine” in The New York Sun, stirring stuff.

Why has Turnbull joined in with his policies?

Will Turnbull, or his family, and associates profit, not necessarily now, but sometime in the future?

Peter Garret can answer the same questions, his associates in the ACF warrant that he too must be made to give a declaration that: neither he, nor his family, relatives, and associates will profit by the frauds just announced by Turnbull, the subject of the next section.

Indeed, “corporate fascists” should also be made to answer the same questions.

Yes folks, a money trail is involved. Being a merchant banker, Mr.Turnbull can expertly lay out how his “water melon red” policies and the money trail are tied together, and with whom, and to whom it all flows.

Liberal Party, Victorian Division, and: The left is winning in Australia. Why?

Treasurer Peter Costello has repeatedly boasted in Parliament the Coalition stands between Australians and collectivisation. The problem is, while it sounds nice it isn’t exactly true.

Consider all the socialist schemes and grand designs the Coalition has retained and entrenched from previous administrations, and all those the Coalition itself has dreamt up.

It’s evidently a mistake to believe also that it’s only an ALP disease to ram down upon the backs of Australians mountains of regulations. “Regulation”, Peter Costello, is not the rule of law, it is the overthrow of the rule of law. They are a tremendous burden, involve inventions of crimes and punishments that would be, under common law, thrown out for the monstrous impositions they are.

Defeating the Left by joining them?!

Chancellor von Bismarck believed the left could be defeated in Germany by, yes, the adoption of socialist policies, of which the pin is central planning,(central planning is the original word for socialism). Notice, genuine German Liberals were smeared and attacked by central planners. Here’s the thing, the totalitarian National Socialist regime did not arise in a vacuum and, as the left might depict it, as a vast ‘right-wing’, ‘capitalist-militarist’ conspiracy.

The Iron Chancellor laid the foundations for totalitarianism in Germany. He didn’t do it deliberately, and they were set only incrementally, just as we have witnessed in Australia over more than a couple of decades now. His administration didn’t defeat the left; it saved the Left the effort of having to make Germans march to the socialist drumbeat.

We are going to serve up Costello, Turnbull, and a couple of others, in separate items. It’s, however worth noting here that the Coalition also has its Greenie gurus Malcolm Turnbull, preceded by Senator Campbell, and Senator Kemp.

In Parliament,Turnbull boasts the Coalition is defeating the ‘watermelon red greenies’. How, exactly, are they achieving this? By doing much of what the greens demand. Is that what the Coalition means by taking on the Greens, demolishing them and their fraudulent claims (lies) and their vile aims, by imposing “pol potian” measures!

I’d say, leftists are laughing in their beer jugs.

Who said this:

“Cabinet sets economic directives, it is the job of businessmen to execute them.”

Bismarck, Mussolini, Goering, Putin, Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser, Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, Steve Bracks, Kevin Rudd, John Howard?

To answer with any of the first 12 names is correct in substance but, sadly, it was John Howard, last year. He declared so while slamming any businessman who dared to fight government control and economic central planning and just to check, Trujillo and Telstra were the immediate objects of The PM’s. ire. Ah, there you go, Trujillo has the guts to do what so many in business seem too cowardly to do, fight.

Brackistan
The problems are compounded in Victoria by what Michael Kroger, his Brahmin backers, and his glove puppets have done to the Victorian Liberal Party, totally wrecked it. Members have been leaving the Party in droves. They are fed up with being treated as nothing but serfs, while watching seats stuffed with Kroger’s clones.

One elderly lady, still gadding about, who joined the Liberal Party at its formation, , the 1940’s, is thoroughly disgusted, “ What has happened to the Liberal Party. Why has Liberalism been snuffed out in the very party established to advance Liberalism?”

Victoria, aka “Brackistan”, illuminates where the major parties are heading, measured by how far advanced down the road to totalitarianism the Bracks ALP administration is. This promise of the parties has been in evidence for more than a few years now, try decades. It is, however, inexcusable of the Party called Liberal, or, rather, of too many parliamentarians and apparatchiks in the Liberal Party. Again, in Victoria, we find the amplification of how some members are killing the Liberal Party, betraying Liberal principles for socialist hell.

Tyranny is Benign?

Why are the Coalition Parties stuffed with “statists”, absolutists, in short, rather too many addicted to what some “conservatives” consider to be inevitable, “benign tyranny”? Tyranny is never inevitable. Tyranny is never benign. Only fools claim, ‘so long as central planning and the instruments of coercion are wielded by the right types, no wrong and no evil can eventuate.’

The ALP, being dedicated central planners, and hotly opposed to free markets, can be excused for adhering to monstrous beliefs purveyed as truth. They and their leftist allies can be dealt with.

Though, under Rudd, the aim is now to fuse Fascism, Nazism, and Communism. Good Lord! in Brackistan, Steve Bracks and his pack of multi-millionaire bandit chums are dedicated only to the more modest exercise of making Victorians run to the Soviet drumbeat. It is disgusting, as well as chilling the “Liberals” are bent on the same, the collectivisation of Australia and their economic ruination.

Costello’s boast,the “Coalition Government is a bastion against socialism”, is a black joke. To illuminate:

Costello, Kevin Andrews, Hugh Morgan, Ray Evans, et al gave the Unions such a whipping over freeing up labour markets the Union bosses are hurting. They are hurting – from uncontrollable laughter. If that, Costello, were victory, I’d hate to see what a Liberal Party defeat is.

Blood, Iron, and pulverising Uppity Vassal Serfs.

Are Costello, Turnbull, Nelson, Wooldridge, and a few others, simply ignorant or too stupid to realise that they only follow in the Iron Chancellor’s footsteps, for some years now. Are they prepared for what goes with it, ‘blood and iron” to enforce collectivism? . Are they prepared to be brutally frank with voters, “every so often the Govt. will require so many to be pulverised into bloody heaps?” For, Costello Turnbull, Wooldridge, and et al, you cannot impose collectivism without periodically pulverising a generous number of Aussies into bloody heaps.

Those questions don’t need to be asked of Rudd. Since, the Grand National Socialist Gulag is his policy; he must be preparing to use large-scale violence against Australians.

It’s quite a spectacle, what the Parties are doing to Australians. It will end in totalitarianism. That is where the Liberal party, and the National Party, as much as their opponents are heading. The evidence is overwhelming, but, It’s not too late to stop the slide to outright totalitarianism, not yet anyway.

In the mean-time, the failure, the grotesque failure of such “liberals” to stand on Liberal principles has lead to immediate dangers, all too transparent in Brackistan, the economic obliteration of Australians. This, dear readers, is the departure for the next item, in which we apply the blow torch to that thug called a Malcolm “full of watermelon red bull” Turnbull.

Another word of kind advice to Chris Berg

Chris, it’s not you fault entirely - though I’m not letting you and your pal off for putting up that atrocious fabrication purveyed as history.

Oh, your pal, Andy Pandy, has abandoned you, run away and is in hiding, under the full protection of his influential family (you do have influential friends?.)

Some pal you have, a coward who flees to leave only his “mate” to be roasted for the fraud – he has been silent all the way through, and now is in hiding and wetting his nappy.

There you are, as I wrote on my site, cowardice is genetic in the Kemp family, their banner is glorious yellow.

However, it’s your employers, the Directors of the IPA who are culpable. After all, they decide what is published. So, you see, they can’t after all sack you now, because everyone will thus be certain that they are the culprits.

They can’t now, do to you what Nahan did to Warby, because as I wrote on my site, they had to have read both Warby’s fictional plagiarised paper, and, as the publisher of the book, Warby’s job on Ellis. They had to have read it because they had to approve it.

They, not simply Warby, were responsible for those scandals. They threw Warby onto the human sacrifice pyre to protect their own backsides and their fat purses. To keep their purses fat, they have to ensure those who fund them still believe what is not true, that lot are serious and well equipped, and bright enough to handle the matters they claim to be superior in : gad, that is a laugh, IPA “ Australia’s Premier Free Market Think Tank” – Chris you don’t have a clue what a joke that is, the Union bosses, for example, have a ruddy good laugh, behind locked doors at that lot.

Right now, it’s safe to muse on, they are torn between sacking you and keeping you on as editor. Either way, this time they cannot, that lot of lazy, ignorant nincompoops, evade the full attention they thoroughly deserve.

I don’t wish to see a boy burned and sacked. You can’t help it that you are not equipped to write on very serious matters. You are the sort they have writing all the other drivel they churn out on mix master machines. But, there it is, you might have a bit of time. Get in contact with, if you have any, influential friends and get out of the “whore -house” you are employed in, and get a real job that you are capable of doing.

There it is, I’m going for the slobs who are very much responsible for the fraud purveyed as history.

Oh, examining your apologia, I suspect you were told what to write, and told to put it up on your site. One reason is clear, you don’t have a clue as to what you are talking about. Neither do they who told you, but, they believe they are geniuses.

You, Chris, can now see what they have done. They prepared you as their human sacrifice. You fell for that? I don’t question your, patriotism, I question your intelligence.

You are in trouble, it’s fair warning Chris, you have a pack of cowards on top of you called Directors of the IPA. They, this time cannot get off the hook, and, gee, we have a bit more in store for that lot of incompetent, ignorant, lazy cowards.

News Flash: Andrew Kemp has bolted….And a Word of Kind Advice to Chris Berg

In the concluding remarks to the item below, “Chinese civilisation, and early Chinese…”, I conjectured that while Berg continues to dig into his already deep grave, Andrew Kemp is apparently not as completely bereft of grey cells as Berg is, and has fled the field, gone into hiding, bolted his doors, abandoned is chum in crime. I also speculated in,

Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), Paper on Fraud.

Kemp (is he related to those two ineffectual puffed up types, the brothers Kemp, occupying precious Liberal Seats in Federal Parliament?),

Well, well:

I have recieved contacts from sources, very senior sources inside the Liberal Party, concerned not only by the fact the IPA published a disgusting fabrication as history, and betraying western civiisation with it, to appease Islamo-fascists, but, what it shows about the IPA, and, the other incomptent circus clowns stuffing the HR Nicholls Society, inside 104 Exhibition Street … Michael Kroger ( he keeps his brains, all 1 and 1/2 cells in the HR N.S.).

The word is, right on both counts.

Andrew Kemp is the son of David Kemp. David Kemp is the son of C.D. Kemp.
C.D. Kemp founded the IPA.

Gee, it’s whiffy, it can’t be a dose of nepotism clogging the IPA nostrils, could it? A pong so strong that, it shows, the IPA is deaf, dumb and blinder than the proverbial bat.

The Kemp family colour is yellow. Yes, young Andy Pandy has gone into hiding and bolted the door. He isn’t, Bergy baby, coming out. He doesn’t like what he is getting for the tripe both of you wrote, a proper caning. You are the Editor, you are on your own, and the heat is on and the fire is getting hot, hot, hot.

Well, it must be genetic, it runs in the family, the Kemps are ineffectual as Liberal M.P.s, though they are in good company. The only thing going for ‘em is the ALP is far, far worse but then: because of the HR Nicholls Society’s stuffing Labour Market Reform right up, the ALP are in on very good odds to win the Federal election.

Does anyone seriously believe that the election tide can be turned by the likes of Costello, Turnbull, Nelson, the Kemp brothers, when they are too thick to seek out sound advice, and are too thick to fight the ALP on ground which had to be held and fought on. So, ineffectual the only thing they hurt are flies hit with a can of mortein—sspppppssssss.

So, there’s a gene involved, besides genes for ineffectualness, cowardice and and other unpleasant defects.

This sets up another amusing question: Has Kemp and other Lib pollies taken advice from not only the IPA, but David Kemp’s son. After all, Andy Pandy is a distinguished contributor to the IPA Review. It would explain why a number of M.Ps are not simply as thick as two planks, but what they have pontificated on in parliament has thoroughly delighted the left. One only has to visit the IPA website, as well as that of the HR N.S., to realise how comprehensively they have served the left, and the ALP, and the Union bosses, and the Greens.

Incompetent, lazy, ignorant nincompoops who play games with serious affairs and stuff them up all the time.

Andy Pandy is a chip off the old Kemp Family block, and wears the colour yellow, proudly.

Meanwhile, Berg can whistle for his pal to come to his aid, and keep whistling, for the cows have run away.

His fellow ‘freedom fighter’ cum ‘free market warrior’, has taped his knees together - they were knocking too loudly, and welded his bedroom door to its frame: “No, Chrissy, I can’t come out today, my pants turned brown and mummy can’t find my spare yellow, long pants… “

Strewth, those two are good.

    Word of Kind Advice to Chris Berg:

Study the Warby Plaigiarism and Bob Ellis scandals but, here, let’s save you the effort.

The IPA has an m.o. when it is caught out in a red-hot scandal of its own making.

1. Attempt to deflect through convoluted digressions.
2. As the fire heats up, shift the blame onto someone else.
3. When it has become a raging fire, throw a sacrificial victim onto the fire.

We shall illuminate, but first a question: Do you, Mr. Berg, have an insurance policy, type called “influential friends to rescue you when the proverbial IPA bus runs over you”?

Right, In the 1st scandal:

1. Warby published a self-exculpatory piece in “The Age”, similarly as sarcastic as your apologia, indeed look at the title he gave it: “So sorry, my mythtake”, and this was meant to be funny.

Followed by the attempt to pass of the plagiarism as a mere peccadello, just a trivial, accidental accident anyone can be hit with- though, no one yet has agreed to the notion of, a man who throws himself under a bus had an accident happen to him.

2. Nahan, nervous that phase 1 wasn’t working, threw his hands up in the air crying, it wasn’t us, it was Warby’s mistake, and it was only a trivial mistake, but, we have removed him as editor: ‘ see, we are honest, we are concerned for truth in all things.”

The Ellis Affair:

It was all Warby’s fault, we had nothing to do with the book. So, Nahan got rid of Warby altogether.

Notice, however, IPA was up to its eyeballs in both cases. The Ellis case amplifies why: IPA published the book, that means the book had been read by the publisher, they had to have read it, because only they could approve it, as they obviously did.

You see the problem, Chris, that both you and Kemp face, the scandal of your paper is getting hotter and it will be roasting hot soon enough. The IPA is culpable but, you are the frontmen, and you are thus expendable, and someone would sooner do to you what they did to Warby, run a bus right over the top of you.

The trouble is, as set out above, Andy Pandy has run away, you are on your own, for you are the Editor of the I.P.A.Review and, therefore, you can’t hide, quiver under your desk maybe, but not run away and lock the bedroom door.

You do have an insurance policy don’t you? Type :” In case of being run over by a cowardly IPA bus driver, draw on influential friends account for backside extraction?”

Oh, why would the IPA bus driver run over you?
It all has to do with what I wrote in an item below, that line about humiliation and fat purses.

You see Berg, the IPA gets funded in purveying the odd notion it is a serious think tank, and, therefore, cannot afford to be caught out in public for the ignornant, lazy, incompetent nincompoops that they truly are. That, Berg, is why Nahan crushed Warby under the chassis of a ten ton bus. And, there you are, sitting in the same position as Warby did when he wore tyre black, editor, IPA writer, analyst, and all round lah de lah de dah.

It’s all about moolah, Berg, not truth, not free market principles, not liberty, not sound advice to politicians, and businessmen and their firms. No, its all about keeping up a pretence to ensure politicians and businessmen keeping shoving moolah into the IPA hip-pocket. That, Berg, is what the IPA is all about, and take it as read, they don’t hire types like you, Kemp, and others because you are brainy and able. Not a bit of it, don’t delude yourself on that score.

You, Berg, are now an obstacle in the fat purse filling machine’s drive chain.The bus is warming up and the IPA bus driver, having put his beer and sangers down, is climbing into the driver’s seat, muttering:”Darn, there’s a stick stuck in the fat purse filling machine’s drive chain, have to rip it out.”

Chinese civilisation, and early Chinese philosophers of c. 1200 BC show how appallingly bad IPA, Berg, Kemp and the Muslims are:

    To point up how completely void of grip on any pertinent field the IPA Kemp–Berg Paper is, let’s look at Ancient China.

Who would believe that in c.1200 BC, Chinese philosophers were formulating propositions, based on acute observation, which elsewhere (in, that is, only the West) would not begin to be advanced until the Greeks? It is not that those early Chinese philosophers considered they were founding a new field, or did establish it - economics but, it is quite the contrast to Berg’s and Kemp’s gob-smacked awe at the mighty accomplishment of Muslims in the 6th century and, then, in the 12th century, in economics and history (hitherto unknown to armies of scholars, until Berg and Kemp, IPA Review, March 2007).

First, it should be pointed out, the findings of the early Chinese philosophers had absolutely no influence on the history of economics in the West, and it is safe to conclude from the Berg-Kemp paper, none either on Muslims.

One will cite a paper, and a major project in history, which demonstrate how to write such papers on history, and what is required to engage in such subjects.

    In good classical form, an aside on a matter most pressing on the insides of the IPA.

I apologise readers for, first, a little digression for the kindly information of not only Berg and Kemp, but also the IPA. The whole lot of them at the IPA really do need to attend prep school for “wanna be professors of economics/science/history.” Their website is stuffed with evidence of why they need to attend kindergarten.

Oh, it needs to be stressed; the papers and works below are exemplary of:

1. How to write a paper of the type Kemp and Berg mangled thoroughly.
2. How to substantiate claims – rules of evidence.
3. How to develop and mount a sound argument.
4. That, conclusions are not asserted and argued, but drawn from the argument.
5. How to document a paper.
6. How to criticise other works and papers without smearing the authors, and those two just do not appreciate how bad they look on this count, their smearing of both Rothbard and Schumpeter. Moreover, when. – to repeat, a number of economists independently remarked, Berg and Kemp have not read Schumpeter, and barely read not much at all of Volume I. Of Rothbard’s work.

No.1: Austro-Libertarian Themes in Early Confucianism, RT Long,(JLS, Vol.17, No.3, 2003), it is on the internet here in PDF.

An excellent read, Long argued:

Confucians have been misunderstood, on economics, and Taoists over-rated. That, the early Confucians drew strikingly accurate conclusions from what they observed of economic activity. That, for example, they grasped correctly the relation between production and consumption, the crucial importance of savings, tools of production and production of and trade in capital goods.

Next, that only free pricing achieves coordination of actions between producers, directed by the decision of consumers and their valuations of goods. That, price equalisation between goods and price fixing destroys production and coordination of actions.

Like the universe, it runs to laws but not diktat, it is spontaneous order, not chaos, rational and free, so too free markets and the laws informing them issue into “divine goodness”. The divine goodness of liberty involves the division of labour, without which, all would each have to make their own tools and thus, all would fall into misery, and chaos will reign.

Labour is not priced because of the value of an individual, but their contribution to product and only market prices shows what that value is.

A just price is whatever price is struck in a free market ( as the scholastics observed), no one is oppressed, inclusive of labour, by free markets.

They are clear on the force of: taxes and increasing consumption of the King: destroys production, people are immiserated. Chaos, evil, “not divine goodness” prevails. Regulation and control, are not law, they are an oppressive burden which have the same effect as increasingly onerous taxation ( Laissez faire - get off our backs!).

The job of Kings and their men is solely to deal with those who put themselves beyond the pale as dangerous criminals and external barbarians who would bring only death and vengeance. Kings who exceed those limits are themselves no longer kings, they are oppressors – mere “men” – a polite expression for savage criminals, and free people can justly kill them as common dangerous criminals.

Rothbard erred in his evaluation of Confucians and Taoists, as others have

Long backs all the above with very good text quotes and exposition, which sparkle, are witty, and fully back up his case, unlike the Berg-Kemp paper. Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to evaluate Long’s paper but, can say this, he makes a claim and backed it up in excellent form. He, unlike Berg and Kemp, knows what has to be done in establishing a case about history.

Long’s mention of Austro -Libertarians is thus: Confucians anticipate major discoveries and theorems of the latter. The word anticipation (of the Austrians) is unfortunate but his point is, as he shows:

As of (the Greeks to) the Austrians, the early Confucian period is one in which philosopher made real, subjectively achieved progress.

    2. Needham’s monumental project, his “ Science and Civilisation In China” series. Websites are devoted to the Needham project. Here is one that gives a precis of each of the published volumes in the series:

“Founded by Joseph Needham CH FRS FBA, 1900-1995.

The Science and Civilisation in China series is the work of Joseph Needham and an international team of collaborators, and is published by Cambridge University Press in seven volumes. From volume 4 onwards each volume is divided into a number of parts. The project is now proceeding under the guidance of the Publications Board of the Needham Research Institute, chaired by Christopher Cullen.
Only those parts of SCC already published, or for which MSS are complete and in the hands of the Press, are listed here. Other parts are in course of preparation.”

To list a few of the subjects in the series:

Pt. 1. Physics. Joseph Needham, with the research assistance of Wang Ling, and the special co-operation of Kenneth Robinson (1962)

Pt. 2. Mechanical Engineering. Joseph Needham, with the collaboration of Wang Ling (1965)

Pt. 3. Civil Engineering and Nautics. Joseph Needham, with the collaboration of Wang Ling and Lu Gwei-djen (1971)VOL. V. Chemistry and Chemical Technology

Pt. 13: Mining. Peter Golas (1999)
VOL. VI. Biology and Biological Technology

The list of subjects is very long. I direct readers to this site, which summarises in a chonological chart just a fraction of what the Needham project covers, History of Chinese Invention and Discovery. A few examples will suffice:

2500 B.C. Wheel-made pottery
2205 – 1766 BC Emperor Yu is credited with flood control and irrigation systems.

1766 -1100 Lacquer, the first plastic (13th century BCE) - 3200 years later in Western civilization

6th c. BC, Iron plow - about 2000 years later in Western civilization

4th c. BC Petroleum and natural gas as fuel - 2300 years later in Western civilization
A place for zero in math - 1400 years later in Western civilization
The first compass- 1500 years later in Western civilization
The First Law of Motion- 1300 years later in Western civilization (but 2000 to Newton)

The list is long and it is stunning.

    Conclusions:

1.The point to Long’s paper is not that there is a long tradition in free market economics in China commencing with the early Confucians. His point is: those early philosophers made very accurate observations, and arrived at very accurate, penetrating conclusions, as a correction to the evaluation of the early Confucians. Long also includes, they came up with their own ‘daimond – water’ paradox and reached the same conclusion as to what the Greeks much later were to give the term utility to, which Jackson also covers in his demolition of the Berg-Kemp paper.

2.Unlike Berg and Kemp, of Chinese history, it is sound, rock solid, nothing less will do, to speak of it is one of civilisation, marked by remarkable discoveries, advances, acquisition of knowledge in sciences, engineering, production.

3.despite the sheer brutality of the Communist regime, the communists did not eradicate Chinese civilisation and, we have seen it re-merge as the Communist Party has gradually relinquished its iron grip over economic action. To be sure, the accounts of those who endured what Mao and his fellow butchers did shows the butchers did their best to eradicate it but, they did not succeed. Why? Well, the answer is contained in the above, the Chinese stand in a very high civilisation.

4.Compare the formidable, sustained scholarship of Needham and his colleagues against that of Berg and Kemp, reflected in their monumental distillation of Muslim history, and, Western history.

Oh, the Needham project has flaws, and Needham had his vicious side, a notoriously vicious marxist but that is extraneous to what the project has delineated and established of chinese history.

Their, Berg’s. & Kemp’s, erudition, thoroughly grounded scholarship, is so high, I couldn’t stop laughing when I first read their paper. If someone had simply shown me the paper, with no hint of whether it had been published it or not, and no indication that it had been, my reaction would have been:

“This is a spoof, right?”

5.Contrast Mohammed and his Arab, primitive tribal hordes: In the name of Mohammed’s novelty, Allah, they destroyed civilisation in the Middle East, butchered civilised peoples, enslaved them, sold them off as slaves, took their property, sold it off, lived as parasites on the peoples they subjugated, a whip and a sword in one hand, crippling taxers imposed on “Dhimmis” in the other, Jews massacred, and, forget the ancient Chinese, far behind the Westerners.

6. What advances have they made? None. What is their main success, apart from butchery: to pile commentary upon commentary upon a single, appallingly bad book called the Koran. Progress? Liberal Islamic tradition? Are the IPA, Berg, Kemp serious in maintaining that and,as they wrote in the paper, if only the West realises it, then Islam will show itself to be what it is, as they wrote, a civilisation? Are they serious, or simply a pack of delinquent, teenaged jokers?

Oh, I forgot, the other great Islamic achievement is the perpetual whine, it’s not their cruddy book and their beliefs which keep them down in primitive savagery. No, it’s because the rest of the world is not subject to Shria. Strewth, they only had a go at paradise by subjecting the middle east and many down into South Asia to Shria, and look what happened, just like socialists, they made life a living hell for millions generation after generation.

There are times when I’m all for a good book burning.

    Reflection


I say, Berg, where is Kemp these days. Unlike you, he doesn’t seem too keen on defending the garbage the IPA so happily published. Is he in hiding?

As for the IPA, what a pack of lazy, ignorant slobs. They decided to publish the Berg –Kemp juvenile fabrication. Didn’t anyone inside the bunker notice the Berg –Kemp “Paper” is a load of risible bunk before publishing it?

No, no doubt they thought it was very clever. Well, now it is July, and the matter is not rectified, thus the IPA is now committed to a fraud, by maintaining the paper is historical truth.

Indeed, instead of a public apology and a corrective paper from, say, Mr. Gerard Jackson, editor of Brookes News, they sought to justify themselves through Berg’s silly apologia. Who fed Berg the line, who told to him to write the same lie told of economics, the Muslim’s influenced philosophy and theology ? Do the IPA really believe no one would have noticed they only repeated the same fabrication.

To remind that lot of dumbkopfs: Western philosophy was a solely western enterprise beginning with the Greeks.

Look at it folks: Berg-Kemp –IPA are saying: Muslims influenced both economics and philosophy, and, what none of them realise is, if philosophy, then perforce, the Muslims shaped Christian theology too? That is, Berg, why I wrote the rebuttal to your apologia: you heaped blunder and error upon fabrication on fabrication and you didn’t see it! The guy is a genius.

Tell us Berg, did you make up your apologia ,or did some bright spark in the IPA write it for you, and told you to put it up? If you wrote it, you were a fool. If another, you were a fool to agree to do it.

Kemp isn’t as big a fool, for he’s in hiding. He’s cowering behind a bolted door, while you dig yourself a deeper grave and it is already deeper than the regulatory 6 feet down. Remarkable! Berg can’t see the bleeding obvious.

What does that, readers, say about the IPA? They are ignorant in economics, they are ignorant in economic history, they are ignorant in the history of the Middle East, ignorant in Muslim history, ignorant in Western philosophy and Theology, and yet, they have the damned hide to publish a load of rubbish, a complete fabrication, as the Historical truth!

Readers, Nahan once wrote what amounted to a begging letter in The Age for an article. The substance of it was, please, please, companies, channel funds to the IPA, and we will defend capitalism. No wonder the Left are winning in Australia. Look what is being funded as free market, liberty fighters and ‘advisers’, a bunch of lazy, know it all nincompoops, who make chickens look like bright sparks… “buk buk buk buk buk…..(ad infinitum)”.

The Hypocrisy of the IPA

I have in sight here also the HR Nicholls Society, but they will be served up in a separate item. This item is a follow up to the three below on what is now fraud committed by the IPA, in approving and publishing the Berg-Kemp “paper”, which is attracting growing attention. The IPA doesn’t fully appreciate that many around Australia are disgusted by it. What of the hypocrisy of the IPA?

There is no point in the IPA attacking leftists for lying and committing fraud for ulterior ends when; the IPA also commits a fraud with the Berg-Kemp paper. How can they attack lefties for serious offences when they are willing to do the same things?

Berg, in his apologia, didn’t simply run the Nahan defence, convoluted digression. Pretending to be erudite, he dropped in something totally extraneous to the matter, scholastic philosophy.

Does the IPA believe that outside of their bunker there are few who are well grounded in not only economics, but also the history of theology and Western philosophy? It seems so, because Berg’s remarks on that field is also false, the same fiction told in the paper on ecomimcs is repeated, muslims influenced western theology and philosophy, as I have dealt with in the “Rebuttal….”

To reinforce how grave the matter is, I draw attention once again to the example of the two scholars in Egypt, mentioned in “Rebuttal…” The position those two scholars are in is the same as Salman Rushdie’s, though he is under an official fatwa. I’m not aware of whether a fatwa was issued against those two scholars but then, it doesn’t matter, they live with the prospect of being murdered by Muslims for their efforts. Two scholars, thoroughly equipped, unlike Berg and Kemp, risking their lives,to engage in an effort Kemp and Berg claim to have succeeded with , when the two scholars have failed.

Not content with committing more fatal errors, Berg concluded his apologia with a sarcastic infantile trivialisation of what is a war against Islamo-fascism:

“The response by Prodos, Gerard Jackson, Strider and Mangled Thoughts illustrates how certain segments of the right treat the War on Terror as simply a War on Islam - and they appear to be angry that Andrew and I would even consider sympathising with their enemy. Worse - we have “sold out to muslims”, as if it is every Australian’s duty to stay strong against the advancing Muslim hordes.”

People have noticed that, too, Mr. Berg.

Berg is impervious to what,eg., Melanie Philips has over these past years carefully recorded on Muslims in Britain. What does Berg make of the appeasement of muslims in the Danish cartoon affair? Is Berg aware at all of the real background to how Muslims set about that?

What of Sheik Hilaly, former chief imam of muslims in Australia, and his successor, who, in a matter of days, declared his whole-hearted support for muslims exterminating Jews? What of Eideh, pal of Steve Bracks, and loyal to the President of Syria, who expressed his enthusiasm for Jihad (can such a type be admitted to a seat in an Australian Parliament? What a disgrace, and it is an ALP scandal). Then, there is, for example, Federal ALP member Irwin, who frequently expresses in Parliament her support for the Islamic terrorist camp called the Palestinian Territory; and she is activley invloved with that camp’s savage inmates - she’s put it on the Hansard record.

Then there are muslims in Australia who, while they might express opposition to terrorism, do hope Australians will be subjected to Shria. Why don’t they go to the great Islamic theocracy of Iran, if it is so crash hot? After all, their country is Islam, not Australia.

What does the IPA, Kemp and Berg make of a peculiar fact that many of the cadres in KLA, Al Qaeda, and other Islamo-fascist fronts and terrorist outfits have studied in Western universities, albeit, many of them in the pseudo-sciences such as sociology?
Why hasn’t that background induced them to reject Islam for civilised traditions?
What does that tell the IPA as to what Israel and the West faces?

What of those ” boys”, born and schooled in Britain, went up to English universities, played cricket and, planted bombs around London in the name of Allah?
What of ASIO’s discovery of Islamo fascists who were preparing to do the same in Oz? Why only this morning, it was reported on the radio that Asio is monitoring another assoication of Islamo -Fascists because they are a threat.

Just a tip of the iceberg and, Berg makes a flippant, sarcastic, juvenile remark worthy of the treacherous left.

Is the IPA oblivious to what the left dominated media make of Islamo fascist terrorists? Is Berg aware the major news organisations, and their islamo-terrorist sympathising journalists deliberately suppress what is actually going on in the Middle East, and the fact that the Allied campaign against the enemy in Afghanistan and in Iraq is in fact very, very successful.

Is Berg at all aware of, the media, including the ABC have consistently pushed accounts of the Middle East which are historically false, yes, fabrications. Those lies, Berg, Kemp and IPA are widely accepted by many Australians. An indication is, the large number who believe the lie, Israel is an occupier of “Palestine”. Does the IPA realise that that is built on a complete fabrication purveyed as history?

So, what are Berg, Kemp, and the IPA up to in publishing more lies on history, as if the left needed any assistance by those “ righties’ and self-styled “”Premier Free Market Think Tank”. The word cretinous, for some inexplicable reason, has occurred to one.

As for the hypocrisy of the IPA, and considering the Warby plaigiarism and Ellis scandals, there is a fine problem involved. For that lot are willing to attack leftists for telling lies and peddling fictions. How can that lot have the hide to do that, when they are no better than the left, the Kemp-Berg paper is evidence of that? They are in no position at all to attack anyone for committing such offences, and many around notice this. Just to check, here is an example;

In, an item the IPA, through one of its ‘contributors’, a Mr. Tim Curtin, attacks Greenpeace for telling lies, fictions and groundless claims. Greenpeace must, of course be shredded for what it is but, coming from the IPA, it’s a joke:

The arguments reported in the print and broadcast media are based on unsubstantiated allegations by Greenpeace and other NGOs about the rate of logging, and a lack of understand-ing about land ownership and property in PNG’s forests. Such arguments are contrary to the interests both of the people most affected and the country as a whole. What would…

Warning, as with all its articles on its website, it is in pdf format.

Notice the date, it was published in the October 2006 issue of the IPA Review, a meagre 5 months before they published the Kemp-Berg paper. So, there they were, roasting Greenpeace for committing fraud and, next morning they wake up and say, hey lets run a little fictional account of history.

The IPA, as well as the HR Nicholls Society, and Quadrant, are ineffectual and incompetent in taking on the left. Indeed, the HR Nicholls society’s grand stuff up of the case for Labour Market reform amplifies why: they are insular, ignorant, incompetent, and contemptuous of all outside their circles, casual with truths and evidence to the point, in the case of the IPA, they are prepared to lie. (more on the HR Society coming soon readers.)

That lot, the IPA, attack leftists for purveying frauds as truth when, they do exactly the same. Is the IPA serious in claiming to be Australia’s “Premier Free Market Think Tank”, when they do the same as the left and perpetrate a fraud? Are they so myopic that they cannot see that, being visible in public, the public notice their antics and find their antics, to be charitable, risible?

Here’s another thing: how will the IPA look, on Media Watch taking up the scandal? After all, as the Warby scandal revealed, they don’t give a stuff about what they publish. What they care about is, their pay packets ( for doing nothing much at all), feeling important, and believing people look up to them as free market gurus. It is very important to greet that lot with gob - smacked delight, as if one were meeting Raquel Welsh and Sophie Loren (which does warrant being gob -smacked). Needless to say, the only thing they are keen to avoid is public humiliation, and losing fat purses. Golly, Nahan and co have barely recovered form the first round of being dished and they want more!

Media Watch enjoyed publicising not simply that Warby plagiarised an article, but that the IPA backed it. Media Watch sent them up, effortlessly. M.W. didn’t simply point out plagiarism is a serious offence committed by Warby and the IPA. They depicted, rather accurately, the IPA to be a bunch of insular, incompetent nincompoops – it’s on the record, it’s in the Media Watch archives, so anyone who might bother with it, can have as good a laugh against IPA as did the M.W. Crew.

Readers, the likes of the IPA, the HR Nicholls Society, and Quadrant, are not taking on the left, and they are not advancing the case for free markets and liberty. They are undermining such efforts by their ignorance and stupidity. They don’t believe they are doing so, but they are. They don’t fully appreciate, they are a standing joke to Union heavies and leftwing journos – and I’ve related this in previous articles on the HR Nicholls Society. That lot, inclusive of the IPA are handing victory over to the left, when, the left can be smashed.

What is worse is, while they constantly foul things up, get things hopelessly wrong, as the HR Nicholls Society did on Labour Market reform, they have the hide to not simply attack the left for crimes they commit, when they are doing very good work for the left. No, they also attack those who can do the jobs that they are too incompetent to even commence. (This is a topic for a separate paper.)

It seems that they are not content to confine themselves conceding ground to the left due to ignorance and incompetence. No, as we see, the IPA has decided to give the left a helping hand by doing exactly what lefties have done, purvey an atrociously bad fabrication as a true account of history. That is, Berg, Kemp, and IPA, how bad the paper is, and it has been noticed all around Australia.

Well, all that is left for the IPA, if they refuse to take the corrective measures suggested in the Rebuttal:

Is stew in their juices and cross their fingers, in hope that Media Watch won’t run on the scandal and give them another dose of public humiliation. After all, they are already squirming from the caning they are receiving from all who are watching their scandalous conduct. A Media Watch job on them would finish things off nicely, as it would see them totally crumpled up in blubbing heaps.

Oh, and I shall do the chivalrous thing and inform the IPA of:

Sources have told me that various parties have already made approaches to Media Watch to include the IPA fraud in an edition of that programme, on the strength of: it’s a solid case against the IPA and is of weight to warrant treatment. Also, others are preparing to do so and any others contemplating encouraging M.W., well, the view is, the more the merrier.
