Mangled Thoughts

Having mentioned in a previous article the “Kemp report” on the investigation into the Liberal Party, this week we commence laying out the contents. I will be handed the report this week. However, the data below is from the report, as related to me. What a fascinating read it is too.

Hitherto, it could be safely assumed the Party, at 12,000 members, has a beating pulse of genuine Liberals, despite the best attempts by Michael Kroger and his chums to kill it and drain every last drop of blood out of the body. Well, this has turned out to be wrong and how. There are about 11,000 members, but there is no pulse: It has an active membership of close to 1,000.

About 2,000 are classed as active but this is based on a trick. A member who only turns up to annual general meetings is counted as active. There are about 1,000 of these ‘active members’. To state, say, 4,000 members is an exaggeration, as this requires massaging out the telling details. Thus, adjusted by what is spelled out, there is a grand total of 2,000 active members.

Out of the remaining membership, they are not merely inactive. A large number are ‘ghosts’. Mere names ‘signed up as members’ by family and friends. How absurd is this? When individual members sign up to 10 ghosts each, it is the stuff of comedy. About 2/3 of the membership are ghosts.

In the 1980’s the wreckers of the Victorian Liberal Party hammered the ALP for boosting their numbers by signing up tombstones. Well, at least the ALP had the decency to check in graveyards that the dead are dead, and not still breathing anywhere else. Kroger and his Kronies and ‘Resurrectionists’ are, it seems, afraid to enter cemeteries in the dead of night to sign up tombstones. Anticipating the inevitable, they sign up the living for the post mortem life.

The once safe Liberal seat of Corangamite was reduced to a thin marginal. In the 2007 election, ALP took it. What is important is Corangamite happens to be a crucial rural seat that must be held in order to win Office. It is or, rather, was a major Liberal Party base. So too a large number of other electorates, from Warnnambool to the Latrobe valley. Here are some key electorates that decide elections: Casey, Aspen, and Latrobe.

For the State Parliament, Portland was a safe Liberal seat, held by the brain-challenged Dr. Napthine and one-time Opposition leader against Steve Bracks. It has been by each successive state election reduced to a marginal seat, as the 2006 State election returns showed. Here is the killer punch:

Because the Liberal Party is effectively 1,000, the Party does not have the manpower to fight all seats that must be held/retaken/won. For the above seats, the Party no longer has electorate level presence to fight branches in elections. There is no longer machinery to serve regional branches. The branches in those seats have to fight in isolation. It is worse than this.

The majority of the 1,000 active members are predictably concentrated in the blue ribbon seats the scrofulous “Right” contols. They are the Malvern - Kew - South Yarra -Toorak - Brighton- Sandringham axis. It must be noted, for example, that former State safe Liberal seats such as Waverley have been reduced by the Michael Kroger Party to safe ALP seats and making this all the more risible, the ALP incumbents can be soundly beaten.

Those ALP incumbents should be but cannot be beaten and for the very reasons demonstrated in the 2006 State election. Most of the candidates were Kroger’s psychophants, gofers, and clones. I made a point of approaching some of them when they were on the hustings, showing their odd notion of working electorates. Tack on no principles and no clue at all that voters have to be convinced of the Liberal cause and they struggled to smote a paper bag.

They stood about with silly grins on their mugs. One clone assured me he knew all about economics because he is an accountant, while smiling the silly grin. I promptly wiped the grin off his face by putting three short questions, including: ‘What do you understand by labour market reform and economics, and what would you do as an MP to fight this great cause?’

There they were, not armed to answer voters who approached them. All they had to offer punters was an inane smile. How can voters take Liberal candidates seriously when that is the calibre of candidates Kroger, Costello and the Kemps stuff seats with? Secondly, assuming these ghost candidates could at least make a stab at fighting;, as in the 2006 election they did not begin to work or, rather, in their case lounge about shopping centres looking doped out.

I observed ALP candidates and sitting members out on the hustings about 3 months before the election was called. That’s right, the ALP candidates were working electorates long before the Libs began to twitch. They were thoroughly prepared. With supporting election material, they did not grin stupidly at passers-by, and they were approachable. I watched them treat all questions voters put to them seriously and answered voters seriously. ALP members did not treat voters with contempt.

They demonstrated that they were in no doubt that they had to convince voters of what they stood for and win voters. This is in stark contrast to the Kroger strategy: voters will run to mummy (Liberal Party). The black joke is, Victorians detest Brackistan. However, when they look at what stands in the name of the Liberal Party, what they see is nothing better. Voters have not been given one semblance of even a plausible reason to vote Liberal.

Now the Liberal Party is in no position to make even a risible effort at contesting seats required for victory. For victory, it requires 44 for a hung parliament. It holds 35, and it cannot merely defend 35. It is set to lose more seats, both Federally and in the State Parliament.

In the Senate, the prospect is stark and fatal.They are set to loose a minimum of 2 seats, and the loss of 4 is a real prospect. Here’s the punch. Out of the 12 Victorian Senate seats, the Liberal Party holds 6. In other words, the Victorian Division will be wiped out of the Senate; and the likes of Helen Kroger and Nick Minchin make this a certainty.

The average age of 60 % Liberal Party members is 62. So, naming ghosts as members is not too pre-emptory. 6% are under 30 years of age. Leaving a meagre 34% in the prime of life to do the core work of the Party. On 1,000 active members: 600 are on zimmer frames; 6o are still in potty training; and a meagre 340 are mobile adults.

Even if the effective membership was 4,000, this does not translate into the manpower required to fight an election statewide. Neither into, activism between elections to ensure the Party is soundly presented to Victorians. Worse, the numbers make the diseased Nazi Greens’ Party appear a major party of enormous numbers.

To reinforce the above, divide active membership over 395 branches. An average of 3 members per branch. Now correct it for the king hit: The majority of members is concentrated in metropolitan seats and this biased to the Axis.

Out of 37 metropolitan seats, there are only six with less than 100 members. 8 are listed as 500 members each (how many of these are ghosts?). Where does this leave country branches? Well, I suppose Joe and his cattle dog count as a branch, and so does Mrs Ghost another. The upshot is that those who have wrecked the Liberal Party, to defend their prized vassal seats, are surrendering many seats. They will not be contested.

The Liberal Party is stone dead. Kroger and the nepotistic ‘Right’ are culpable for this. They treat the Party as their vassal estate and, have treated members with undisguised contempt, good only for stumping up fees and donations. They have reduced it to a vehicle to promote only themselves, and this includes their anti-free market clunk tanks, the Centre for Independent Studies, the Institute of Public Affairs, and the HR Nicholls Society, to whom members fees and taxpayers money has been funnelled.

That they altered the constitution to entrench the Michael Kroger parasite party’ control, was the latest step they took on effectively taking it over. The Liberal Party forum was reduced to a platform for the clowns in the Centre for Independent Studies, the Institute of Public Affairs, and the HR Nicholls Society. Oh, members can attend, so long as they keep their mouths shut and stare adoringly at the blowhards.

The forum was originally established as the basis for open, frank exchange and debate between members and this is what the parasites shut down. This is why all treatment of matters is confined to this narrow group. This is why these buffoons are identified with and as the Liberal Party and as its intellectual base. This is matched by what has been transparent censorship of members and rules to prevent members from engaging within the Party.

The situation is nothing less than cleptocratic and authoritarian. A situation that has enabled the clunker tanks to proceed to cause not only great damage to the Party but also Australia. The evidence is hard and overwhelming that this exactly what this lot have done, and continue to do.

The treacherous “Right’s” total control over the Party is reflected in the real thuggery they deal out to branches and members. This abuse is reflected in them imposing their own clones and stick-puppets as candidates. Helen Kroger once threatened Waverley branch. They resolutely told her to ‘get stuffed’ and in far strongere terms than these.

Unfortunately, the nepotistic “Right” did finally run over the top of them, as reflected in the zombies they put up in the 2006 State election and the 2007 Federal election. Nor must it be forgotten what these bastards did to Richmond Branch and against Prodos. Funnier, they whined when caught red handed and were exposed.

The upshot is: thousands of members, fed up with the abuse and suppression of all their rights as members of the Party, left. They are still abandoning it. How telling.

If the Party cannot convince members why it is a fine, principled Party, it has a snowflake’s chance in a hot place convincing voters in general. The numbers fell in a tad over a decade from some 20,000-30,000 to 15, 000, to over the last couple of years 12,000. Over the last year, it fell by another 1,000. Over a decade, it has bled at the rate of nearly 3,000 per annum!

Worse, as above, the majority of those who remain are ghosts/or not active. 1,000 members – the Victorian Division is a decaying carcass. This is what the sclerotic “Right” have done to the Party: shot it and let the blow flies in.

One last thing

As things stand, the paranoid “Right” will not staunch the flow, repair the hole, and refill the container. They are the bloody hole in the bucket.

Reading Andrew Bolt’s columns, one arrived at a strong impression. He is fed his lines and uses Murdoch’s time to serve as a PR man for the IPA, Kroger, and the parasites behind the ethanol fraud. He is not spoon fed, his lines are written for him.

The above was raised in a conversation some time ago by an acquaintance who works for a major company. I mentioned I would use his interesting information but at the right time. The right time is now.

He is not yet in a position to hire guns. He is very good, young, with some years ahead yet before he is considered for appointment as one of the heads. He finds it irritating his seniors throw good funds at ineffectual Rightwing “free market think tanks” stuffed with incompetent clowns.

He himself once remarked to me, “ they are bastards, Right and Left. They hold their hands out for donations while battering us with demolition machines. But this is Australia, this is Melbourne. If I had the say, the Right can starve too. We need guns and, instead, my employer hires fools.”

This chap is tough. He has a real job. He is decent. He is principled. Needless to say, he is highly disciplined and immaculately well mannered. He is biding his time. He is the sort of chap whose boots the neo- liberals are not fit to even lick clean.

He is the sort of chap they will never see, because he won’t waste his time on that lot. When the day comes, his employer’s fighting fund will not flow into the coffers of the IPA, CIS and their other inbred cousins. The “Thunk tankers’ should take note, this guy is already identified as a possible chief, and come that day he will turn off the pipeline into their bank vaults. He is had enough of useless, wealthy dole bludgers. Hence, sometime ago, he telephoned me:

He: “How about breakfast. I fancy steak and eggs and a good chat.”
I: “Fine. When?”
He: “At xxxx, 6 sharp, Wednesday. I’ll give you an hour. ”

I am not relating all the hour’s worth of meat. Most of it was in strictest confidence. Mind, I suppose it doesn’t matter should the Right and their pal Rudd raze firms with the carbon tax. Though, I would still not be able to publish what he told me. There will be no power for the Internet and the pc in order to set it out. However, he’s happy with two interesting points to be published.

Head lopping and the lopped. What did happen inside the IPA?

This first item was just a bit of gossip. I relate only because it clarifies a matter bubbling away. My friend Strider is slowly cooking in his good humoured style, The IPA’s Macbeth Dilemma - is a purge planned?

Back when mild mannered economist Dr Alan Moran ran the IPA, he ruthlessly purged heaps of people - Des Moore, John Stone, various almost anonymous other employees who had been very loyal

That account, my acquaintance related, was a story put out by the IPA to cover up what was done. He continued:

“Donor’s’ were disgruntled with the performance of the IPA, and its narrow coverage of matters including in its IPA review. They demanded this be changed (which is comical really). The IPA’s Directors, thus disturbed, complied. They brought in John Hyde, John Stone, and Des Moore. Their brief was to beef up the content and to bring in donors and raise revenues by a large factor. In return Stone and Moore, retired former top bureaucrats in Treasury, who wouldn’t know a market if it stomped all over them, and on fully CPI-indexed pensions, demanded a very generous salary package, and received it. They demanded:

1.They be paid their “market value”. I have met senior, but younger, bureaucrats with econ degrees, who suffered the delusion they were valuable to companies. They were stumped none would hire them. Their wives wailed, ‘it isn’t right, they are so brainy, and held very responsible positions.’ It doesn’t gel with such types, unless they are willing to start in a modest job on far less than they have been paid, they have no market value, because they are completely useless in business. This is, apparently, Peter Costello’s frustration: his aim to earn squillions in ‘commerce’ has not been matched by offers from eager firms. Never mind, his mate Kroger can stitch him up, I suppose…Sol Llew might have an opening for Pete,attack dog junior lawyer.

2. They be paid an additional amount to reflect their ‘standing’. An entrepreneur would have replied, ‘How would you care to take this, standing up or lying down? Here is 10 cents; you are hired for 1 second. This is because I can now say, you are fired.’ Not the IPA, who said, ‘fine, fine, fine and quite right.’

John Hyde, noting all this, as the Director of the IPA, realised it wasn’t quite right. He, a former MP and Cabinet Minister, on a fully CPI indexed pension, and now the boss of Stone and Hyde, pointed out his ‘market value’ must be greater than theirs. That, while they are VIPs, observing the bureaucratic distinctions, he is a greater VIP. The IPA realised he was right and multiplied his already generous pay packet.

Everything was fine, fine, fine, fine, except for a fly in the ointment. They added nothing much in the way of new donors and revenues. Instead, their fat salary packages, a book-keeper observed, was bleeding the IPA to death. This upset the principals of the IPA; how could such great brains be a dead weight and blight?

Funny really, a ‘free market think tank’ stumped to predict such a simple phenomenon. They did manage to arrive at the right conclusion; they had to sack Des Moore, John Stone and John Hyde. They did. They brought in Nahan and Alan Moran, who also got one thing right. They cleaned up the financial mess. Alas, they have not cleaned up the content.

What is telling is all the names involved. As for the CIS and the HR Nicholls Society, all the names are 1st cousins. the Right is a closed gene pool. Well, there you go; venality and envy are corrosive sins. They just try to ensure their donors don’t find out about their fatal flaws and feuds.

Andrew Bolt

My acquaintance raised the subject of Andrew Bolt’s journalism as, again a conversational observation on the Right. He is all for demolishing the Right.

He asked me what my impression is of Bolt’s columns. I replied they read as if he is spoon-fed. There is one exception. His propaganda piece on behalf of the rotters behind the ethanol fraud reads as it if was entirely written for him. The reason is, it is not in his style.

He replied, “Bingo”, he is fed his lines. He does nothing at all. No research. No investigation. He doesn’t apply himself. He simply sits down at his desk and types up the day’s prepared script.

He found this out because he has a friend who is employed in the media and knows the insides of the Herald Sun. That someone finds Bolt good for a laugh you see. I asked my acquaintance whether his friend wasn’t simply relaying the usual media in-house gripes, resentments and hatreds.

He replied there is that of course, but not in this matter of ‘dictaphone Bolt’. His pal made it clear, said it firmly, this is not a mistake because of one overwhelming reason, all the others employed in the HS office see it before their eyes and detest Bolt for his incompetence and resembling a hideously expensive printing machine. They watch him plug himself into his pc and the text zips out onto the screen.

The staff consider it a scandal. They find it a scandal that for a journalist who is paid to uncover and accuratley relate facts, investigate matters which should be brought to public attention, hunt down evidence, and correctly analyse his materials, he does not one jot of it. He is supposed to be independent and he is not. Absolutely nothing, zip. Murdoch is paying Bolt at least $3,000 a week to be a journalist and he earns not one cent as a journalist.

Isn’t it dandy? Know it all Bolt’s columns are scripted by others. This compounds what is also glaringly obvious from his columns. The man is ignorant of the grave matters on which he pontificates. That man doesn’t bother to read and study the serious matters he gases on about. He is paid to do this but doesn’t.

He doesn’t bother taking advice from those with the expertise to guide him. Some clown supplies what little content there is in his column. The man is not only not doing his job as a journalist.He is a complete ignoramus – from his non-existent in depth investigations to his non-existent serious reading.

The above squares with my second strong impression. The man is acting as a PR man for particular interests. Two of them are Kroger and Costello. He has indicated this rather well in his columns. Some read as if written by Kroger himself, and no mere Kroger stick puppet. His ethanol ‘article’ is transparently scripted, as blatant, propaganda. Other columns also read as nothing more than an “infomercial” for the IPA.

Does Murdoch realise he is paying Bolt $3,000 (plus?) per week to run what is whiffily strong of PR script produced by other parties, concentrated in the very Rightwing circle that have completely wrecked the Liberal Party and great classical Liberal causes, and have treacherously betrayed Liberals, ‘Donors’ and Australians on such grave matters as labour market reform and carbon taxation.

Is this Bolt’s payoff for completely failing his employer in his duty as a journalist:

Announcement from the seat of Higgins

Is Higgins the reason Bolt has run interference for Kroger and his pals? Taken with the IPA link, It is time for Bolt to come clean. What my acquaintance related kills Bolt’s pretences, and firmly anchors the inferences that can be made about his columns. Bolt can’t hide from this.

I listened to audios the Herald Sun put up of Bolt’s ferocious debate against RMIT leftists a couple of years ago. The opponent relaxed because Bolt had nothing up his sleeve. It was a farce. Even the audience tittered when they realised Bolt was good for only poncing about. Well, that’s what he gets for appearing on a stage without an IPA-Kroger-Costello teleprompter.

Helen Kroger in the Senate, Bolt in the Reps. I would laugh but I cannot. Kroger and Costello must really hate the Liberal Party. Murdering it in quick time now is a good sign they do. The Left will roll about in uncontrollable laughter if Bolt is jobbed into Higgins.

Let’s see. First it was that girly of a lawyer who was supposed to be the Kroger- Costello picked replacement for Higgins. The one who who was Treasurer Costello’s adviser. Well, at least economically illiterate Costello didn’t have to fear feeling inferior. Then there was Kroger’s picked paper shuffler, the $200,000 bungler Julian ‘the shitzel’ Sheezel.

Looks like Kroger’s favourite stick puppet has been relegated to a ’safe seat next time waiting room’. I can’t figure out why. Kroger stuffed his ex into the Senate and she has a bad dose of congenital idiocy. No, I’m wrong. Sheezel’s stupidity could not be concealed from the public. Then there was a Mr. Miles. Who?

Precisely, until you discover the answer. Mr. Miles is in the IPA, and under the wing of the Kroger-Costello Kommissar for beating up Party members, David Kemp. Miles’ articles are as brilliant as Chris Berg’s, a trip down Banality Lane. Unlike Sheezel, however, his low profile to date has meant the serfs have not had the opportunity to find out how dominant the idiocy gene in this progeny of 1st cousins is. Whatever, the blind rolls up.

The other runners, with the exception of Sheezel who stabbed himself and had to be buried by Kroger, were merely the pace setters for the horse Kroger and Costello have settled on, Andrew Bolt. What a payoff for supplying, at Murdoch’s great expense, a pair of lips and fingers for the Kroger-Costello Party and their “thunk tank” pals.

Amazing, I am amazed. In Australia a pair of lips and ten fingers can take no mere seat in Parliament, but a rock solid, blue ribbon Liberal Party seat. No wonder Bolt’s HS “colleagues” have passed from irritated to puce with outrage.

Bolt has other assets. He calls modest Australians ingrates, and stupid for not realising that if they did what the Right told them, why they can be as wealthy as he is on a $3,000 a week salary for doing nothing at all. The man in the street calls that dole bludging but that is what the IPA and CIS are, dole offices for the wealthy. Most in the street, however don’t expect to collect a $3,000 a week pay check, let alone as dole money.

Bolt helped destroy the labour market reform campaign, and bring about the defeat of the Liberal Party. He is, through his columns, continuing to serve Kroger and Costello well in swiftly destroying the Liberal Party. He has another Rightwing quality. He is too thick to see the left love him because of all his K-C Party virtues.

What a contradiction, the Right have bayed for ACTU and ALP blood over ALP internal corruption and seat fixing. What do we see? A right stitch up by the thugs who have reduced the Victorian Liberal Party to rubble, and here is one more nasty sign of it from those who love it, The Melbourne ‘Spencer Street Soviet’ Age:

Ailing Liberals need young members, says president

COLLAPSING membership and involvement in the Victorian Liberals has raised doubts over the party’s capacity to take back power from the Brumby and Rudd governments.

In a dire warning to Liberal members and voters, Victorian party president David Kemp has said the “signs of strain” are very evident and the party needs substantial change to attract and engage more members.

“Clearly there is an issue with the Liberal brand,” he told The Age.

No, not really, Kommissar Kemp. Mind, it is only what angry members have been pointing out for some years. And, ‘brand’!

Politics is not selling bloody soap. It’s about principles, and the Liberal Party should be about classical Liberal principles. The likes of not only the ‘wets’ but also the ‘dries’ of the Party have ditched them as useless to themselves. Heavens, the Wets under Malcolm Fraser knocked great holes into the Party, but at least Fraser can contemplate what the Kroger–Costello Party fears:

Last month, former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser warned that the Liberal Party would be doomed to opposition unless it undertook reforms, such as preselections being decided by a plebiscite of all members in an electorate.

The problem is Mr. Fraser, as one has set out before:

The Kroger Party altered the Liberal Party Constitution so that they have complete administrative control over the Party. That is why the Executive Committee is stuffed with Kroger-Costello stick puppets. That is why their Beria, Mr. David Kemp, will still be on that Committee once his term as President is completed. That is why the stick puppets can remain on the Committee for up to five years after their last year as President. And this is only one of the many alterations the Kroger-Costello Party made to the Constitution. They did this legitimately because they stuffed Party offices with their stick puppets.

Good luck, Mr Fraser, in your attempt to return preselections to the membership, because under the adjusted Constitution it can’t be done. The KCP have made it impossible because branches were converted into rubberstamps by the KCP stacked Committee and constitutional changes. It is why they can get away with jobbing in their man Bolt, as the pay-off for faithful service, At Murdoch’s great expense.

When I related to some heavyweight Party figures what the KCP had done to the Constitution, they didn’t believe me. They had an expert check the constitution. They were staggered when they received the expert’s report. It set out what I had set out. Fraser is a big man, but no man yet has managed to smash through a high steel wall 20 feet thick with his bare hands, or climb over it unaided.

Bolt is Kroger’s pal, and Costello’s too. These bastards make queers look straight. No, that is an insult to many a queer who, their homosexuality aside, is principled, trustworthy, honourable and forthright. They make the ACTU bosses ALP machine heavies seem rather reasonable. What a twist.

Andrew Bolt, the man Tim Blair calls his ‘engineer’ and others call a serious, principled conservative, is a hollow flake. He joined the right gene swamp, he belongs in it. But, Bolt, you keep your backside out of the seat of Higgins. It should go to a genuine Liberal who has the overall ability and competence and principles to stand as a Liberal MP and not as a Kroger-Costello-IPA-CIS flunkey. KPA Flunkey Boy Bolt, that sounds just about the right name for that wealthy bludger.

Hey, Murdoch, why won’t you employ journalists who know what they are doing, including in economics for a ruddy change. The lot you have on the payroll are downright useless, duds, and in the case of one of them, Bolt, working as a salesman for other parties at your expense. How does a smart man wind up with so many soakers wasting his payroll?

Ps. A senior figure mentioned to me, “ Kroger seems to have gone quiet. Why?”

It is now evident why. Kroger, Costello, and their puppets – including their hitman, David Kemp, were taking heat for what they are doing to the Party. They needed to let the sun go down a bit. The scorching noonday sun rides high. Boy, are they bright sparks.

In the course of the articles tracing the treachery of Kroger, his Toorak Brahmin backers, and his stick puppets during 2006, one wrote the following article to warn the Federal Liberal Party Kroger’s aims did not stop at the boundaries of Victoria:

This is neither a joke nor an exaggeration, but it is a bombshell. It really is staggering their sheer hide, conceit, deceit, and contempt for the Liberal Party that, having wrecked the Victorian Party at the State level, the Kroger Parasite Party are now preparing to do the same to the Victorian seats of the Federal Liberal Party.

Federal Liberals of other states should read this. Actually, therein is the rub, for the Liberal Party to retain the Treasury benches, or the ALP to win it, the two crucial states to win are N.S.W. and Victoria. A loss, a large loss of seats, in either state, can swing an election to the opponent ( which is what did happen in the recent 2007 Federal election, in both States).

The KKR have repeatedly delivered Bracks the Victorian Treasury Bench and at each election with increased majorities. The 2006 (State) election is no different; the Liberal Party is set to lose more seats. With the imposition of `proportional representation’, the betting is the Liberals will be wiped out as a party in the upper house the, Legislative Council…

Bingo, the Federal Liberal Party can lose to the ALP simply by being wiped out in Victoria. The Kroger party takes over the Federal Wing and that is what will happen to the Federal Party in Victoria…

The above concentrated on Kroger’s efforts to stack Federal seats with his glove puppets and control, with his pal Petey, the Federal Parliamentary wing. As a matter of fact, Kroger has succeeded with one of his stick puppet, Helen Kroger…

Well, Michael Kroger, is moving to get his way, control of the Federal Liberal Party, and it is no joke. I have been informed of it by a number of, very angry silverbacks in the Liberal Party. There are heavy weights, who back Kroger, are moving to, they hope, ensure it: it is a very grave matter.

Perhaps it is worthwhile recapitulating two transparently revealing incidents, both during the 2006 Liberal branch pre-selection rounds:

1. Petey Boy Costello had to come out in the open to help his bosom bash up the Kooyong branch selection committee, because they were defiant, they were about to turf out that snivelli8ng, lefty bean bag called a di Goergiou.

2. Selection Committees are Kroger’s “rubber stamps”, Helen Kroger’s nomination in 2006 for a safe Federal Senate seat reflected: The committee did their duty as Kroger’s rubber stamps,

Helen has appeared before the Selection Committee of the Branch for the safe seat she craves for. The point to the exercise is, of course, is not Helen Kroger, or any other Kroger Krony and Glove Puppet, providing good reasons, and demonstrating sound credentials to Branches, to only consider any of them for appointment to a seat. No, for the KKR, a Branch Selection Committee is merely a formality, with a KKR thug telling the Committee:

“Vassal serfs, you have appointed me to the seat. Any objections and I shall send Tony Barry around to kick your heads in and, you won’t be able to do a thing about it. Now, piss off, I have to write my maiden speech.”

Helen Kroger might as well have said that to Committee because, there is no difference between the tenor of that line and the tenor of what she actually did say to the Committee. Moreover, in saying it, she single handedly launched a KKR purging of the Victorian Liberal Party, and their own version of Krystallnacht - and burning of the Reichstag, 104 Exhibition St.
Helen could have entertained the Committee, all night long, and illuminated for their benefit what really counts, according to “Maximum Leader”. Namely, the Committee’s duty as serfs to Kroger, and Helen as their Branch Uber Lordess…

She did declare what might be called a policy to the Committee. A very peculiar policy it is too, loaded with sections headed by such interesting titles as: `Thuggery’; `Coercion’; `Revenge’; `There will be only one Victorian Liberal Party, The Kroger Party’; Ingrates are to be sacked and booted out of the Party’.

Yes, while she was reticent to mention even a hint of the first 6 policies, Helen waxed long and enthusiastically on the 7th policy. Incredible, so self-absorbed, believing herself a lady, and possessed of high learning, rather than the common as muck thug and moron she is, she told, not explained but told, the Committee what, as a Federal MP, she would do to the Victorian Party…

A very reliable informant has told me, a mole, the KKR are preparing to purge 104 and that a number of employees are nervous because of the immediate threat, they will be sacked, on Helen Krogers’ orders. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, some employees are to be sacked for even being suspected of being not altogether loyal to the Krogers and their Party. They will not be sacked for being defective in the performance of their jobs:

The cause is the Kroger Party’s vendetta against anyone they suspect of passing on information which does not betray the Liberal Party, but which discloses what the Kroger Party and their glove puppets inside 104 are doing to the Victorian Liberal Party.

Kroger’s and his puppets’ disgusting thuggery against Richmond branch and Prodos is typical how they treat branches. The rub being, for the Kroger Party to stangle the Party, to impose their own candidates requires tight control over the Party, and that is exactly what Kroger and his Toorak brahmin backers have:

1. Kroger’s stick puppets jobbed into executive positions in 104 Spring Steet.
2. Control through the administration of the Party, and how is set out in this item -

Kroger and Costello, with their chums, continue to destroy the Victorian and Federal Liberal Parties.
August 6th, 2007

A telling detail is :

In summary, the committees are tightly controlled by Kroger and his treacherous pals…

The Richmond branch and Prodos had no recourse, and the reality is no branches and their members have recourse against the Kroger Party.

There are Liberal’s who still find it difficult to accept Kroger controls the Party. Their reason: “he doesn’t hold an official position’. That it was Kroger who signed Julian ‘Sheetzel’ Sheezel’s pay rise contract ( $5,000 per week) shows, for someone with no executive authority at all, and whose membership is the class ordinary, he exercises executive authority.

Furhtermore, as outlined in the item on the circumstances of Hhelen Kroger’s Senate nomination, and in some other items, Michael Kroger dictated the closure of branches, and ordered members cannot establish new branches. This, at a time when membership was falling rapidly, and is still in freefall.

The KKR Party controls the Party administratively. It controls the branches. It dictates nomiinations. Liberal forums are closed shops for Kroger’s brains trust, the nutters in the HR Nicholls Society, IPA and orther organs run by senile clowns.

Having written on Kroger’s grand strategy for winning elections, one instead turns to pithy statment by the editor of Brookesnews:

After another crushing defeat by the state Labor Party Kroger put his tactical genius on public display with the opinion that the Liberals do not have to worry because the Labor Party always screws up the economy and when that happens again the electorate will come crawling back. What a brilliant strategy: let’s just hang around until the Labor Government stuffs things up and then the Libs will be back in clover. No wonder the Labor Party now dominates Australia’s political landscape to the point where we have virtually become a one-party state.

Economics sank the Howard Government

That is the only strategy he has ever fathomed, but here is the rub: What is missing: Liberal principles, the engagment of opponents and public in open, vigorous debate, and selection of candidates with spine and stamina and brains to run on that basis. Australian voters are just so many dumb oafs who, when in pain, will run to Mummy.

“Michael Kroger, is moving to get his way, control of the Federal Liberal Party”
Aided by some of his venal backers. Kroger has fired the first public shot in his campaign to take hold of the party federally in his grip of death, with an article in the Australian:

Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger, on Sky News Agenda, on how to rejuvenate conservatives

The article is not an analysis of the election defeat, it is Kroger’s manifesto laying out how he will magnify himself and enthrall the Party Australia wide with the delights of eternal serfdom. Mark this interesting assertion (directive ):

This is not a five or 10-year repair job. You could fix all of the organisational and structural problems of the Liberal Party within 12 months if you had the will to do it.

Kroger then lays out his grand plan and, readers,and guess what:

It is a summation of what he has done to the Victorian Party, which is the point to why I opened up with citing the above items. Yes, what he sets out, is exactly as detailed in the above articles, including administrative centralisation, and reduction of branches to rubber stamps, and prohibition of establishment of new branches, unless ordered by Michael ‘Ghenghis Khan the Lesser” Kroger, and the freedom to disicipline ( smear, stab in the back and so forth) any members who object.

So, Kroger has his left fist firmly attached to the throat of the Victorian division in his grip of death. Soon, he hopes, he will have all the remaining States’ Divisions right handed grip of death. Well, the man is ambidextrous after all.

Ladies and gentleman, this is only the first item on Kroger, Conqueror of Liberals: Ghenghis Khan the Lesser; terror of Liberals, friend and kissing cousin to the left. Stay tuned.
