Mangled Thoughts

An exception to the rule has been unearthed! Malians are Muslims and peaceful. They fit the otherwise mistaken notion of ‘moderate Islam’.

There is a twist, however, as to why they are ‘moderate’. Whatever the Malians understand and practice, it is unrecognisable to most of the Islamic world. This is why Mullahs and their terrorist fronts are engaged in jihad against the ‘apostates’ - how wonderfully tolerant they are.

There is another twist. The Malians are freedom loving, protean capitalists, and the ladies flaunt it. Protean, for they are still making their way out of grinding destitution. This contradicts what has always been a lie:

Destitution makes some violent criminals, and many more violent fascists. Islamo-fascism, falsely labelled ‘radical Islam’, it is claimed, is proliferated among the destitute. Not among the Malians it ain’t - ah, I forget, they are ‘apostate’. Anyway, this is all terribly bad news for the Lying Left and their useful charlatans called sociologists.

“Good on” the cheery Malians.

John Voight is a good actor and, one has long suspected, he is unlike many hams in Hollywood; a thoroughly decent patriot.

Dead right he is. Here is the evidence, an eloquent open letter published in the Washington Times (30/07/08), carried by Frontpage Magazine.

In it, he does what the Stalinist Democrats won’t, respect a distinguished veteran. To the contrary, they are smearing John McCain. Worse, they assert that that lying, terrorist hugging, diseased Leftist, Obama, is a war hero. A man who is unlike McCain, fit to command the might of the U.S. Army.

Much the same was claimed for the last treacherous Leftist, Bill Clinton. The might of the United States disagreed and showed it. The telling shots are of, say, marines not saluting President Clinton as he disembarked from a helicopter or plane. For Obama, they might not even bother attempting coming to attention. Truly shameful is Gen. Wesley Clark, he has disgraced the uniform worn by heroes.

Bye the Bye, Clinton and Gore should be tried for treason. They sold U.S. military secrets to Peking in return for the Chinese Communist regime funelling funds into the bank vaults of the Stalinist Democrat Party. Needless to say, the Left dominated news machines did their bit, quite a bit, to pervert the course of justice, again.

Anyway, a stirring read from a decent, freedom loving man and American Patriot:

The Coming Socialist America, By Jon Voight

Brookesnews has accumulated a large stock of articles documenting the real Obama. Typically, the Left dominated media paint him as a really decent visionary chap, and suppress any reports of what he is. To sum him up, he is a pscyhopathic imbecile wrapped in the hammer and sickle. This is the least offensive of Obama’s nostrums, which is a rather telling observation to draw:

Obama and his fellow Democrats adopt Hoovernomics, Gerard Jackson

I’d like to say I can’t be terrified and horrified too much anymore. The knuckles are already white because of Rudd, his Cabinet of Leftist baboons and what is opposite him, teeth chattering and shattering mistakes as it is. I’d like to say can’t, but… Still, the US has Voight, whereas Australia, as far as one can tell, is void of such prominent patriots.

The Coalition is taking a caning over its labour market measures. Quite frankly, `Government’ should get right out of the way, Common Law is moe than adequate to resolving any conflicts of interests arising out of contracts. The problem is, the Coal;tion has kicked goals for the opponents of free labour markets. The first goal scored was when the Cabinet first mooted a bill; they asserted, `deregulating’ labour markets would increase productivity. To this false claim, things degenerated, as when Hugh Morgan declared on ABC t.v., many employees earn to much. That the Coalition has mangled what is a very moral and sound case is due to ignorance.

The Coalition boast of being pragmatic and practical, that is as bad as the ALP and its claim to be idealists. Pragmatism is a specious excuse for absolutism. The practical man is an ignorant man, which is summed up by even Liberal politicians dismissing economic theory as a romantic indulgence and the preserve of boffins. Perhaps it is understandable, to a neglible extent;Keynesian economics rules O.K. What, however, such politicians pride themselves on is ignorance, a deliberate spurning of explanation of reality, which is exposed by a telling question, Why do they ride a lift to the umpteenth floor of an office tower, fly in planes, drive in cars and over bridges, consult surgeons? Such politicians should be indifferent as to whether a butcher or a song and dance girly builds a plane or a bridge or a tower. Why bother with an engineer who has had to master an exhuastive body of theories in order to make things which don’t collapse, things which can be launched off the ground and not fall out of the sky. So, too economics, and that is what distingushes the classical Liberal economic tradition against the rubbish of Marx and Keynes.

The consequence is, the Cabinet has engaged the wrong people for advice. The H.R. Nichols Society, for example, is a club of the economically blind leading the blind. It shows, they leant their puny weight to damaging the case. The upshot is, the opposition, while their claims are rubbish too, and what Beazley is promising he would do should he win office is monstrous, is making headway in this fight, boosted by the Bracks Juntas’ use of taxpayers’ stolen property to mount a party political campaign against the reform.

Gerard Jackson and Prodos Marinakis have weighed in with what is a weekly series of podcasts, the first put up this week. Gerard is doing what the advisers and ministers are incapable of doing, explaining the economics of labour markets, and why free markets are essential. The first in the series is titled, Labour Market Reform:Can unions protect wages?

Unions, Socialists, and other critics of the market argue that without unions, collective bargaining, or state intervention wages and living standards would be driven down.

Gerard Jackson explains the fallacies behind this position. How logic, history and centuries of economic thinking refute this notion.

As with all sound theory, of course economics is abstract reasoning and requires concentration to learn and master. Gerard , none-the-less, gives a succinct and crisp account which explains the matter for the layman. Readers might note, union officials read Gerard’s articles on economics and labour markets on Brookes News precisely because, they recognise, Gerard is an economist, as opposed to say keynesians, and to study what the explanations, the theorems are, on the principle perhaps of, understand the opponent in order to attack. Not that the unions have to do much, what with the Cabinet and the Nichols mob mangling the case thoroughly, they are saved a great deal of bother.

The podcast is about 30 minutes, with a couple of short ad breaks. The series is a must listen to special, which the Cabinet also should attend to, and then sack their current advisers and engage those who can do the real work, such as Gerard.

Subject: CO2 on Mars

Sure, mars has little atmosphere, but 95% CO2, so one should see, relatively, some so called greenhouse effect. Earth has 0.03% CO2, and it has negligible effect. Water is the greenhouse component.

The statistic for Mars is the equivalent of a couple of truck loads, or rather more, of dynamite blowing up the the Co2 assertion of the boosters of, `man causes climate change’. It adds to what scientists, as opposed to charlatans, have set out on the matter of Co2.

Some articles linked by Louis, are pertinent to the post below:

How’s the Weather?
Like most sciences, meteorology still considers the Earth to be an isolated body in space. It is not. It is a charged body moving through an active plasma environment, surrounded by a web of electric currents commonly called the magnetosphere. Earth’s surface and atmosphere are electrically connected through this magnetosphere to electrical conditions in space and on the Sun. Astronomers Sallie Baliunas and Willy Soon have shown that for as long as temperature records have been kept, the global temperatures of the Earth have correlated to the sunspot cycle. And the sunspot cycle also affects radio transmission and power grids.

The Electric Universe identifies more effects: Currents to the surface affect the jet streams, moving them closer to the equator when solar activity causes geomagnetic storms. These currents power thunderstorms, waterspouts and hurricanes.

Mar 30, 2005Tornadoes as Electric Discharge

Because the Earth is a small charged body moving in a large cell of plasma, explanations of all physical phenomena in, on, and near the Earth must take the electrical behavior of plasma into account. Taking this larger picture into account will add new insights for understanding details of everyday phenomena, such as the weather.

Meteorologists are not sure how tornadoes form but they do know that they are often associated with severe electrical storms. The key to understanding tornadoes is that they are the result of rapidly rotating electric charge. Just as electrons are the current carriers in the copper wires we use for power transmission…

The links are of a site which contain more on the subject.

Plasma theory is sound, it’s elegant, satisfying Occam’s razor, and, the implications are amazing, in the best sense of `amazing’, a real frontier in science, and here is one of the possibilities that is opened up because, `Earth… is not. It is a charged body moving through an active plasma environment’

Its [ a hurricane’s fury] could be softened and split. Part could follow the usual pathway up the hurricane corridor as gentle rain and the other part could be diverted to the Sahara. North Africa could become a major producer of grains and fruits and vegetables; its coastline a Mediterranean holiday paradise.

A prospect maybe, but it is no fantasy , unlike that of the of `puppetteer’ booster’s fantasies which, sadly, so many govts. are willing to sack so many in order to indulge them.

It is easy to spot why religionistos, including socialistos, find science appalling, it is an optimist’s interest and, the optimism is fully warranted. Compare, socialistos find the classical economic tradition ( typified by the Austrian School) appalling for the same reason, it also fuels well founded optimism, and thus they cling to the hocus pocus of Keynes.

Sanity, reason, advance are anethema to the religionistos who are not simply in the midst but are in cabinet, parliament, and bureaucracy. Religionistos have every incentive to reduce, at least periodically, many to destitution, misery and dependency, for they are the only things which gives them the leverage to stay on top. No wonder that, they welcome the apocalyptists of the greeny inspired sub-occult of man causes global warming and their quackery paraded as science. Better to have many reduced to gibbering , infantile, fools, than mature adults, is it not Senator Campbell? the daft senator might ponder an example of some-one reduced to gibberish because of hocus pocus equated with science:

Louis, where is the evidence there is no warming effect of the CO2 on Mars. It’s there, but Mars is still cold. Anyway, given the relative density of the Earth and Martian atmospheres, the effective CO2 columns above the surface aren’t much different.

The correspondent, whose name is deleted for self-evident good reason, is a cot case.

In another article, Mr. Hissink sets out, there is no such thing as a `greenhouse gas’. I was staggered by the article because, Louis stated the blindingly obvious, of course there is no such thing as a `greenhouse gas’, it’s ordinary grip level science yet, a telling fact which, so far, from memory has not been stated until Hissink put pen to paper. Just shows how ugly the Man Causes it Case is when even the simplest facts are missed - there is n additional point to it, the charltans, the politicians and the medja have corrupted language and that, as many have pointed out and often enough, is worse than insidious, as the inculcation of the puppetteer dogma and the substitution of hocus pocus for science clearly demonstrates.

Just what is a Greenhouse? Is there such a thing as a greenhouse gas?

Roger, Ruth and RichardSunday, August 28, 2005

We had a lunch at the Ellerslie Convention Centre where Sir Roger Douglas, Ruth Richardson, Richard Prebble, Graham Scott and myself spoke.

Sir Roger and Ruth were standouts. They were fired up and passionate.

Roger Douglas was the best-ever Finance Minister Labour ever had.

Ruth Richardson was the best-ever Finance Minister National ever had.

It?s quite something that they both are still prepared to contribute and stand-up for what they believe in. It?s especially inspiring that they do so for ACT.

Both were dropped by their parties. And both have been disowned. I say that the country was very lucky to have the two of them?and it?s a great shame that we don?t have more of them!

We had all the media there too following up on the ?Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?? story.

Winston Peters is, it seems, doomed to die at the polls and a good thing too. In the case of Helen Fido Castro Clarke, they should save the taxpyer the trouble of paying her out and, stand her up before a firing squad, a bullet is a reasonable redundancy package for that viscious bitch.

It looks like ACT could take a handy number of seats which will give both the Nats and the LP more than just the squitters. It will be a heavy dose of buachanal tummy for them. The prospect of ACT, as a truly libertarain party building in the parliament with members who are quite capable of not merely acquitting themselves in Cabinet, but doing a sitrling job of it is those two socialist parties’ worst nightmare come true. As the Coalition in Oz, the Nats only reckon on, there will ever only be the Labour Party, and the feeling is mutual -the L.P. to the Nat. Now, along comes Hide and ACT and they’ve thrown a bloody great bomb into their toilet bowls - and that ain’t nice with the squitters turning into buachanaltummy.

Give up N.Z, Rod, take on the Oz Federales instead.
