Mangled Thoughts

Unfortunately, the diseased Left are fully supported by not only the likes of the CIS. They are drawing support from quarters that might reasonably be presumed hostile. Mussolini led the way in state corporatism.

Tony Blair’s ‘Third Way’ and ‘New Labour’ was Mussolini style fascism re-tagged. It shows. Britain is following Europe, gurgling down a drain. There are, it seems, too many directors and executives of large firms who have not read history. If they had they would at least appreciate ‘Third Wayism’ was a disaster under both and Mussolini and Hitler.

They are blind to, it only leads to totalitarianism. They should realise, corporatism does not buy them a quiet time, nor makes them popular with the voter. They should also realise they have signed onto the destruction of the companies they are entrusted only by shareholders to run successfully, by serving customers and not jackbooted thugs who are mistakenly called civil servant MPs. They would then appreciate the only way forward is a true and old way, genuine,free market economics (foreign to the likes of the IPA and CIS).

They haven’t read history. They have made it plain by their full support for economic destruction through carbon taxation. This is indicated in the postscript to the item below, The labour market debacle. Yes, the board and members of the Business Council of Australia. This is understandable of Hugh Morgan but what are the excuses of the others? Consider these names on the board of the BCA:

Mr Greig Gailey President, Business Council of Australia. Mr John W.H. Denton, Partner and Chief Executive Officer, Corrs Chambers Westgarth. Mr Angus James, Chief Executive Officer, ABN AMRO Australia. Ms Katie Lahey, Chief Executive, Business Council of Australia. Mr John Marlay, Chief Executive Officer, Alumina Limited. Mr Robert Milliner Chief Executive Partner, Mallesons Stephen Jaques. Mr Rod Pearse CEO and Managing Director, Boral. Mr John Stewart Group Chief Executive Officer, National Australia Bank Limited.

Yesterday, Price Waterhouse demanded Rudd specify cap and trade measures and pricing so that its clients ‘can proceed in confidence’. What clients? Does Price W., as a broking firm, stand to collect fat fees from the capital destroying tax that is ‘cap and trade’?

How many clients can P.W. claim? In Victoria, certainly, it seems unlikely there are too many eager to see their investors’ capital raided by cap and trade. The Victorian Employer’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI) attacked carbon taxation, Sunday, because it would wipe out energy producers and manufacturers.

VECCI has made several mistakes. It concedes the Greens’ lie Co2 is a ‘climate changing’ poison. They have not hired guns to fight - they need to dump the PR types who are completely usless -except for looking after themselves. They have to come to grips, the Greens’ lie - Carbon taxation is a front of the hard left aimed at destroying free, cpaitlist Australia (immediately - wiping out its members, firms), that they are caught up in an ideological war, and the diseased Left are the ideologues. They are mistaken in assuming firms can be compensated for the impact of carbon taxation. They cannot, be compensated, since carbon taxation is the destruction of capital.

Do any of the board and members the BCA have conflict of interest - a CIS type conflict of interest? Is this why they published a paper the CIS could be proud of? The CIS has at least one major conflict of interest, through CIS Director Mr. Peter Yates, who is also a Director of the China based Peony Company. The MacQuarrie Bank is pushing for ‘cap and trade’ too, with a common link to the IPA and Hugh Morgan, through Alan Stockdale, oh and ‘watermelon red’ David Kemp.

Next, Hugh Morgan and Ron Walker are pushing for the destruction of the coal based energy firms. Their motive is their ‘nuclear power plant company’ that would require multi-billion dollar subsidies. Such schemes, as also windmills and ethanol are nothing less than larceny combined with far reaching capital destruction.

Next to the scientific fraud contained in the cultic belief, Co2 emissions causes climate change, why is the BCA committed to intellectual fraud in economics? Here is one bit of damning evidence, BCA policy position paper - “AUSTRALIA’S EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME – AN OPPORTUNITY” (3 July 2008):

Let me say at the outset that the Business Council of Australia (BCA) is wholly supportive of the government’s plans to introduce an emissions trading scheme. The priority for the BCA and its Members is to work with the government on the design and implementation of an emissions trading scheme that is credible and effective – in the near and long term – and which achieves reductions at least cost.

As the CIS, they too assert Co2 taxation will lead to new technological and economic progress. Yah, right, progress through economic destruction. The fascist force of the paper cannot be passed over either and for instance:

This task of working together is made easier by the strong alignment between the approach and principles advocated by the BCA and the government….

Business and government know the solution to this problem is not to arbitrarily limit economic growth or aspects of economic activity as some would have it. On the contrary, growth will provide the resources and opportunities, through investment
and technological advance, to reduce emissions. The solution is to create the right conditions through markets and policies to ensure that resources are directed to the activities most valued by society.

This is of course the aim of a national emissions trading scheme.

What are they really aiming at? Have they told shareholders and employees that, as the diseased Left and thugs within the ACTU, they plan to wipe them out? Of course not.

We continue this tomorrow.
