Mangled Thoughts

How odd: these days, Andrew Bolt and Janet Albrechtson are writing the same content(-less) columns. One called for Howard to job in Costello as Prime Minister and so did the other. Bolt waxes lyrically about a Kroger dictatorship of the liberal Party (why doesn’t Kroger just buy out the Liberal Party) and the other wonders at how marvellous it would be. She confuses an ad- hominem attack with destroying a false argument, crying it’s a foul lefty plot, and, lo, he echoes her. They are at it again; they must be joined to the same neuron.

The two latest examples read as if written by demented, paranoid, conspiracy theorists. Who, readers, is spoon-feeding them, escapes me; a Kroger perhaps?

No.1: The latest instance.

(The second instance will be related in a separate item, because of what it involves.)

Albrechtson screams hysterically about a Stalinist plot to purge the media of “righties”, silencing them forever. We can be sure of it because the ALP is warming the Treasury side benches, and the Left is resurgent.

Bolt trumps the Brechty baby. He fears he is already in the sights of the Red Guard’s firing squad - but, he continues, he will gamely fight on. That’s reassuring, Bolt still in there clobbering leftists and the Rudd Cabinet, right up to his last gasp , to the tune of a Roger Whittaker ditty; bravo. Now, I have to wipe the keyboard, having splurted the morning cup-o’-scotch all over it.

First suspicions prove reliable: whatever twisted their thumbs had to be as savage as a sugar ant feasting on the old thigh. To line them up, read:

Bolt, “Beware those whackers”, 14/12/07

Albbrechtson, “Orwellian Left quick to unveil totalitarian heart”,12/12/07

Here is what triggered their fury mixed with fear, an innocuous, light item by a Mr. Guy Rundle:

“Rundle v. Albrechtson round 3“

Rundle summarises what he actually proposed in the original article that infuriated Janet and Bolt. Then, he has a thoroughly good time sending Janet up - it was too easy.

There are good reasons to laugh at Crikey.com, the trite ‘content’ of their “insider” “reports’. There are good reasons to loathe that pack of drivelling lefties, such as smearing certain individuals. To recollect an instance of the latter:

…The KKR, believing Prodos to be an easy target to attack, blundered.

Confident, they ventured more than their usual thuggish, stong-arm tactics against non-KKR candidates and their Branches. Kroger’s stick puppets: Sheezel, Hannan, and Barry defamed him, and ran to Crikey dot com with their lies. Crikey published on it, believing it a great wheeze but only to wake up with a note saying: You have committed defamation. Crikey has pulled down its slimey libels from its site.

Sheezel grovelled to those scumbags of Crikey.com., apologising for “the mistake”. Imagine it defaming a solid Liberal to the delight of those lefty slimes and then apologising to them for it. There were more than a few senior liberal figures who itched to take a horsewhip to the hides of Kroger’s thugs.

Not for Rundle’s reasons, but his basic proposition is right. Treacherous leftists, whom Brookesnews has carefully covered, should be sacked from Murdoch’s papers, and so should the likes of Janet, Woods, and Bolt. A vast improvement could be thus effected. The objection is: who would replace the likes of Janet, bolt, Woods, McCrann?

The editor of the “Herald Sun”, for example, fancies himself as a real lefty eating “conservative”; he’s only boasted of it on radio. Then, you turn to the “Herald Sun”, read the editorials, and the opinion pages. What is striking is the complete disjuncture between the claim and the reality.

What would happen is, needless to say, the likes of Janet and Bolt would be replaced with more preening ignoramuses, who continue on the good work of wrecking Liberal positions and convincing readers the Liberal Party is a party of unprincipled cretins.

Looked at properly, Bolt, Janet, and et al are, along with the gene swamp pool the CIS, IPA and HR Nicholls Society, protectionists - of themselves. They work at preventing talent rising on the Liberal side of the fence. They do not prescribe for themselves what they prescribe for most Australians. This is what has frightened Janet and Bolt, the notion that they can be sacked, and replaced with real talent.

Don’t overlook the hubris of Janet, McCrann, Bolt, et al. According to them, they are the only “righties” fighting the left. Bolt’s columns and speech is littered with the perpendicular I: “I told you”; “what did I say”; “you’ll see that I’m right”; “I’m right on this”.

Those navel gazers are gurus on all things. Just as Hugh Morgan, Des Moore, Ray Evans are. ‘Lo! They speak. All are gob-smacked’. “Let all mortal Aussies keep silence/ And in loving reverence stand…”

Though they have completely misread Rundle, Janet and Bolt have a record of calling for the heads of leftists. Yet, they whine when the left dares a poke at them. They have never noticed, the left have been poking them all along, and having a good laugh doing it. Not, of course, that was what Rundle proposed. Matters are, though, worse than the terror of lefties jabbing those two in the ribs.

Glasshouses and rocks.

It doesn’t do for types like that to complain about a “ Stalinist purge” when they are either party to such thuggery themselves, or advocate it, and not just against leftists, but against real Liberals. Forget stones, the “righties” throw rocks.

Brechty babes advocated it in her call for liberals to imitate the good old days that saw the rise of the German National Socialist Party and, uncle Adolf.

Bolt might enlighten all as to which pack of “liberals” black-list those who have a solid grip on matters crucial to the Liberal Party, and with it, on how to fight the left. No, that would be too embarrassing for him, for he is one of them. It happens to be the HR Nicholls Society. Here’s an example from his fellow “clubber”:

“So when Blairy sent out a cowardly email accusing Jackson of being an incompetent illiterate who deserved to be blacklisted by the club, even I saw red.”

It’s alright Bolt, readers can google search Brookesnews and read up on the thuggery of his fellow “clubmen” themselves.

Here’s another anecdote, just for the benefit of Bolt’s fan club:

Timmy Blair, a senior source told me, at a meeting of the HR Nicholls Society, barracking as Des Moore smeared Jackson, cried out: he should be “black-listed”. The silver-tail continued;Timmy has also felt free to smear Jackson. Let’s put it this way: calling Jackson “illiterate” while hanging out with real economic illiterates is an indication of something unhinged – it’s called a brain.

Can Bolt explain why the HR Nicholls Society and their inbred cousins, the Adam Smith Club, CIS and IPA strangle talent, smear talent, make sure no talent capable of advising the Liberal Party soundly and fighting the left is brought to attention and promoted. The policy of that lot is something the left would find very strange indeed: best to tell lies against talent and bury them, lest they fade from view. (Contrast: the left are always on the hunt for talent to advance their causes.)

Bolt can scream it’s not true, but it is true. Senior figures have witnessed it.

Hubris, jealousy, and avarice drive the cowards who boast of being “ leading free market thinkers” and “defenders of Liberty”. Yes, Mr. Bolt, please explain how and why belonging to a pack of backstabbing cowards is morally superior to belonging to a leftist pack of cowardly, backstabbing leftists.

Why, Bolt, Brechty baby, whine about imaginary Stalinist purges of the “right”, when you lot are busy doing it to liberals? Why moan about a non-existent threat to your heftily paid journo jobs, when types like you two,your bosom pals, are busily silencing real Liberals, and kicking them out of Liberal Party offices, and making sure all forums are closed meetings for the gene swamp?

The left are Liberals’ opponents. Whereas, Liberals’ enemies are in the Liberal Party ( Kroger and his chums) and in the media.

It’s why, the Nicholls Society, Adam Smith Club etc, will soon be extinct, the memberships are dying out from old age. No, truly, they drive out keen young Liberals, and all that remain are the same narrow circle who are now near geriatric age. I’ve checked this:

Not having attended an Adam Smith Club or HR Nicholls Society “meeting” for well over a decade, they were never impressive, one relies on reports these days. Some of my sources, who occassionally manage to bring themselves to endure the unendurable, attend just to check if the dying still breathe. Nothing has changed they told me:

“You mean, it’ still a….x?” ” Yes,” each replies, “the same clutch of dotards speaking down to each other.”

Each acquaintance has remarked on the complete absence of young, keen, bright men and women.

Hand in hand with Janet, Bolt whines about a figment of his imagination, a leftist putsch against “ righties” in the media. Bolt is entirely silent on: his club, and his new pal, Michael Kroger, indulge in “ Stalinist purges”, against Liberals, frequently. What cowardly, lying hypocrites they are.

Bolt’s and Janet’s real whine is: while the man in the street must compete for jobs, those two, and their cretinous pals believe they are exempt, and they work hard to make sure they stay exempt.

The silvertail, having seen the HR Nicholls swamp first hand, is also appalled at how bad that lot is. He mused, “A full frontal lobotomy seems to be a perquisite for membership”. He’s worried his company might have wasted good money on that lot.

No, honestly, readers, there are Liberal heavyweights who have not been able to accept how bad that lot are until they attended a “closed circuit” session; then they undergo a rapid change, their ‘good will to all men” sensibility is suddenly abridged.

Bolt and Janet can sleep tight at night. Apart from Rundle, leftists don’t wish to see Janet and Bolt sacked. No, they wish them long life in the Murdoch stable.

Bolt’s and Janet’s’ ‘Chrissy’ to the left, and they deliver them 365 days a year.

While such types are paraded as the best and, brightest “righties” in the media, the Unions and the ALP party machine are saved a fortune in campaigning against the Liberal party and Liberal positions. The disastrous labour market reform campaign is a hideous example: Bolt, Janet, with the HR Nicholls Society, blew it right out of the water, to the ACTU’s merriment.

The objection to what Bolt and Janet wrote is not the display of juvenile temper. It is, those two have played a major part in wrecking labour market reform, and in bringing about the defeat of the Liberal Party.

The left don’t wish to see the likes of those two sacked from newspapers because; the man in the street now associates the Liberal Party with raving mad, right wing zealots, who are off the planet: that is how much damage those two alone have done to Liberalism and the Liberal Party.

The left is enjoying their latest puerile, sterile, hysterical efforts because, they see what Bolt and Janet, busily admiring their navels, don’t. Those two are destroying the credibility of liberalism for the public. They are purveying a completely false impression that is becoming firmly fixed in the perspective of the man in the street. There is evidence for this:

It is, anecdotal but it is increasingly a commonplace to hear the man in the street refer to the Liberals as the Party of unprincipled, ‘rightwing’ would be dictators.

Not that, sadly enough, it is altogether off beam, because Kroger is attempting to impose a dictatorship on the Liberal Party, exercised through spineless, conceited, ignoramuses, contemptuous of ordinary Australians and Liberal Party members. The likes of Kroger, Sheezel the “Shitzeel”, Helen Kroger, Russell Hanan, and rather too many Party “ hacks”, are what many see reflected in the tripe poured out by the likes of Janet and Bolt. That is how bad the “righties” in the media are.

That is how much damage their recent efforts have done. Oh, it’s not a crack, nor a joke. The left are overjoyed with the sheer stupidity of Bolt and Janet. There is sufficient reason to give those two the “D – notice”. How do they manage it, to be at once both buffoons, and wreckers of “ good causes”? “Stalinist purges”, bah!

Someone stick dummies in their mouths, for waiting forever to hear their next fiction stories is a doddle.

Having, besides Brookesnews’ exhaustive coverage, examined the pulp ‘the HR Nicholls Society palms off as economic analyis it is worth noting, the CIS’ pulp economics.

The following tripe is typical of the CIS:

“Exploring a Carbon Tax for Australia”, John Humphreys, in pdf format, here.

It is tripe.

Just one correction, out of very many reqired: Humphreys, the “carbon trading” scheme is both a tax and a criminal scam.

Do you really have a clue what such measures really entails, because your paper shows you don’t, nor do the seniors at the CIS.

One more brief point:

CIS - Humprheys ,it reads, accept the lies spun by the Greens and charlatans pretending to be scientists:

One of the most prominent policy issues being debated in Australia at the moment is how the government should respond to the potential threat from climate change. Mainstream scientific opinion suggests that increased emissions of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) are leading to global warming, and that this could cause significant costs if not adequately addressed. In contrast, there is no mainstream opinion as to how policy-makers can best respond.

And, that lot, together with the HR Nicholls Society, IPA, Mcrann and Alan Woods claim to be leading ‘free market thinkers’.

The Carbon Coalition also needs to fire a broadside into the rotted hull of the CIS, and not just against the Greens and the Government.
