Mangled Thoughts

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.

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.

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.”

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)”.

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.
