Mangled Thoughts

In Rudd’s new way,-corporative andzwangswirtschaft, iit was putwhether the Rudd Cabinet’s grand plans might not be a fusion of Corporativo and Zwangswirtschaft. It’s worse.

Centre for Independent Studies has caused great damage. Along with their pals in the Institute of Public Affairs, the HR Nicholls Society, Michael Kroger and his chums, and this is only a short list of the unprincipled ignoramuses, including Peter Costello who have not merely strangled the Liberal Party. They have done far worse than this. They paved the way for Rudd and co.

There is one other thing to muse before launching into the rub of this piece. Perfect competition, as a fiction is thus not only no explanation of markets, and pertinently free markets. It discredits the effort to defend free markets, a thoroughly sound and moral cause. It smashes the effort. Next, it supplies ammo to interfering politicians. Take regulation as an example, an abysmal one at that.

Regulation is not the rule of (common law). It is taxation and strangles markets. It also serves Statism, incipient absolutism. The assumption of Perfect competition is why The Centre for Independent Studies and the IPA have failed over decades to fight for and defend free markets.

It is why, to the contrary, they provided advice on how the Executive can increase regulatory control over Australians, and continue to do so. They did this during the decade of the Kennett administration and the 12 years of the Howard administration.

Combined with their execrable conduct, these wreckers, and their fellow cleptomaniacal, narcissistic dunderheads of the ‘Right’ not only helped to fling Rudd into Cabinet. They laid the foundations, paved the way for Rudd and what he is about to do to Australians. Senator Wong, Rudd’s chief priestess for the Greens’ cult of death and economic destruction through Co2 taxation announced on Monday:

‘What is involved is a whole of economy approach. We are planning a new economic future for Australians’.

Who else said much the same thing? Mussolini, Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and his gang of butchers, Pol Pot, and Castro; that’s who.

Wong’s short sentence boomed across the Senate did send a chill down the spine.

A couple of months ago, Rudd’s senior ministers declared, many goods will have to be scrapped for Kyoto compliant replacement products. They include heating appliances, kitchen appliances, a whole range of appliances, tools and whatever other apparently evil device that ‘hurts itty wittle bubba mad mudder bloody nature’.

Co2 taxation will wipe out energy companies and thus firms will also collapse because there will be no energy. Assume, however and for some mystical reason they survived. What are they talking about? They are talking about destroying efficient lattices of production and dictating new capital combinations be set up. This alone, it is easy to discern without stepping through all the implications, is staggering in force. As with Wong’s announcement, it is also incipiently totalitarian.

The week before, we had the Bracks’ plan unfurled, billions to be squandered on a ‘volk’s’ car. Needless to say, more larceny to support another scam, in something no one is prepared to freely buy.

Today, Rudd’s Cabinet of brown pantalooned dictators announced, extensive price controls, but guess what? They use the euphemism ‘price standardisation’. They are also all for breaking up companies, because this is what ‘anti-trust laws’ are about - attacking consumers, destroying efficient firms, and protecting those who produce nothing much at all.

45 % of farm operations are genuine enterprises, producing 92% of total agricultural output. The remainder are loss making, not by any stretch of the imagination consumer serving, ‘lifestyle’ indulgences subsisidised to the hilt. This 55% are supporting ‘anti-trust’ measures. Two of their their ‘MPs’, Bob Katter and Tony Windsor, relying on the falsehood of perfect competition, declared the ACCC is a toothless tiger; supermarket chains should be broken up; that there should be a central price fixing board setting ‘fair prices for farmers’. They declared, ‘the notion of serving customers is wrong, it misses the point; without farmers they will have no food’.

Knock out the 45 % of genuine agri businesses producing for consumers, running to markets. and let’s see what we have. The 55% that are so good Australians would starve to death if they relied on them for supply.

Listening to what the Rudd Cabinet has declared in Cabinet this week, it is hardly exaggeration to speak of his ‘grand plan’ as not simply central planning, though this is damning. There is sufficient in what they have laid out to date to begin calling it Corporativo and Zwangswirtschaft.

These developments are reinforced by what is an increasingly strident attack on free markets by:

-ALP members

-ACTU thugs, who were vociferous this week against free markets

-Bush socialists pretending to be businessmen and women

-Staggeringly, Liberal MPs! This is correct. Some who did so, to be sure, are too stupid to realise this is what they are doing, and have never been enlightened by the likes of the Centre for Independent Studies.

The above is brief,but today has been another of unceasing interruptions. So, one apologises to readers for being light on the juice this week. Tomorrow, however, will be a Festshrift day. Hansard will be brought to bear, to lift out the above. A few outstanding matters will be written up. And, Centre for Independent Studies Institute of Public Affairs, the HR Nicholls Society, and the rest of the death rattling ‘Right’ will be hammered again, including on the matter of how they laid the foundations, paved the way for Rudd and what he is about to do to Australians.

It is chilling: Australians are being trampled over by a pack of venal psychopaths, the zombie ‘Right’ and the diseased Left. After all, it is the zombie Right who set up their own “let’s destroy Australians through Co2 taxation cheer squad”, and too many of them hope to make billions from pretending to be junior high school cheer squad girls and larceny courtesy of their pal, Kevin “Little Mussolini Rudd”.
