Mangled Thoughts

It might as well be a Liberal Party News headline.

The carbon tax on car emissions alluded to in, Liberal Party News: Liberal Party sells out Australians (24/9/08), is diktat to car manufacturers. They are to rebuild cars to capricious dictated Co2 emissions levels.This has been imposed on makers in Europe. It is strangling them. It is a capital destroying Co2 tax. This is not all, the Liberal Opposition is an enthusiastic supporter of another capital destroying C02 tax called:

OFFSHORE PETROLEUM AMENDMENT (GREENHOUSE GAS STORAGE) BILL 2008

And cognate bills. As their speeches disclose to each of the above C02 taxes, they are totally deaf, dumb and blind as to what they are.

Ian Macfarlane is somewhat clear on what ‘cap and trade’ will do to coal based energy firms -

“thousands upon thousands of workers in Australia will simply lose their jobs. They will lose their jobs because the coal industry will not have a future under that government’s flawed carbon trading legislation.”

He is still, though, in a muddle. Has it occurred to him that whatever an ‘unflawed’ plot might be, it will still wipe out energy firms? Funnily enough, it is what Turnbull declared recently:

Macfarlane has swallowed the Green’s lie:

“Greenhouse gas emissions is probably one of the most complex areas that the government and opposition are going to have to deal with… There are a whole range of reasons why that should happen, but the single biggest reason is that we must lower greenhouse gas emissions….

“There are those who are opposed to this legislation per se. It is going to be an interesting time in the Senate for the minister responsible for this legislation, as the Greens oppose this legislation out of hand. They are making wildly erroneous and inflammatory claims that CO2 cannot be stored safely underground….Companies that are operating brown coal power stations in the Latrobe Valley will seek the opportunity to store gas in that area.”

His objection is the Rudd plan is flawed, but if it is the right plan, it is ok:

“We need to get this right, and we pledge our support to a consultative process.”

Why didn’t Macfarlane pledge to the Liberal Party and decent modest Australian to eviscerate the Rudd Cabinet and, at that, also the watermelon reds in the Coalition, including Turnbull? Instead, he see nothing wrong with capital destroying taxes, so long as they are the right ones.

What could possibly be the right way? Oh, I know, when it’s a Coalition Cabinet destroying Australians through Co2 taxation. Ian Macfarlane is Shadow Minister for Energy and Resources and leads the Liberal Party position on the above carbon taxes. Another totally incompetent Shadow minister.

Complementing the bogus economics is the bogus science of:

Co2 emissions causes climate change.

So-called climate modelling eliminates physics, and this is what the IPCC models and those of other boosters do. Not even brief weather can be modelled. Models are bought from toy shops or the skilled can make their own model planes, ships and trains from scratch and insert model working engines in them. So, in contrast to the boosters of voodoo this as an example, a reading list on Solar Influence that includes -

“Bond, Gerard, Bernd Kromer, Juerg Beer, Raimund Muscheler,
Michael N. Evans, William Showers, Sharon Hoffmann, Rusty Lotti-Bond, Irka Hajdas, Georges Bonani, 2001, Persistent Solar Influence on North Atlantic Climate During the Holocene: Science, Vol. 294, Issue 5549, 2130-2136, December 7, 2001 (Originally published in Science Express as 10.1126/science.1065680 on November 15, 2001)

“Demonstrates 18,000 years of complete solar control of climate fluctuations as measured by ice advances and retreats in northern hemisphere. Supplemental data on Internet version provides graph of solar variability for 20th Century. Data based on Carbon 14 and Beryllium 10 isotopes and ice rafting events.”

(cf. a Warwick Hughes site here, and frontpage here.)

It’s a funny coincidence but as Louis Hissink wrote:

“…coal and oil… if these two substances are actually continually being formed at the lower crust and continually depositing hydrocarbons or collecting in… in the sedimentary basins, then the concept of Geosequestration of CO2 becomes one of the more loonier ideas contemplated by the Climate Changers

“The earth with its deep hot biosphere is continuously exuding CO2 and Methane, amongst many more carbon based liquids and gases, and which often erupt to the surface with explosive consequences as the general buildup of subterranean pressures is released, and now we have this ill-conceived idea of forcing CO2 back into the ground.

“…. geosequestration is much like grabbing the exhaust gases of an automobile and then pumping them back up its exhaust pipe in the hope that overall the CO2 production from its exhaust is stabilised. The gases are not going to stay there because over time the slow buildup from the mantle will release the sequestered CO2 back into the atmosphere. Rather violently one suspects.”

Then there is the elementary scientific point, Co2 is not a poison. It’s the essential ingredient for all plants, animals and man to exist. Oh, and carbon in its gas phase (Co2) is a miniscule trace the atmosphere that cannot form as the crazies claim, an earth heating blanket. Neither doe carbon molecules remain in the atmosphere. It dissolves in water right from the gas phhse of water, and is washed to earth to do the tremendous work carbon does.

What is to be made of Liberal Party MsP:

- Who cannot spot the above fraudulent Bills for what they are, capital destroying carbon taxes, because they are illiterate in economics;

-Who cannot eviscerate the Greens’ lie because they have no science and are too lazy to call it up over the internet by the equivalent of truckloads;

-Who then compound all this stupidity by supporting a loony idea that destroys capital and is a ‘cave-in’ to the Nazi Green Party and Rudd and his band of demented fascists?!

The same questions can be asked of their advisers, as vividly demonstrated by Julie Bishop’s advisers this week. Adding to the stench is that they are all kept by the taxpayer and they don’t do a ruddy thing.

They are paid to advance genuine Liberal principles. They are paid to fight for genuine Liberal principles. They are paid to eviscerate the likes of Rudd, Wong, Milne, and Brown with meat cleavers. What do Australians get for their money? A pack of spineless cowards who run up the white flag each time the bastards they are supposed to shoot open their fat mouths. No, this is a mistake.

They don’t run up the white flag all the time. They join the watermelon red cheer squad for some rotten Bills (as in rather a lot in addition to what they put through when in Office). Their test is, they must be rammed down on Australians ‘the right way’.

Destruction through carbon taxation is what Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have imposed on the British. It is destroying energy firms, and other companies are following. The British are watching their incomes burned, their jobs vaporise, their savings wiped out, and the ‘brains in the Liberal Party’ are pleased to inflict the same punishment on Australians.

The commentariat

The supine in the Liberal Party are entrenched in their aversion to even a semblance of intellectual curiosity by the media.

It’s a habit of mine to engage the man in the street, to find out their concerns, and what they make of things. Then, if it arises, accordingly inject a few points such as the impact of Co2 taxation. The most frequent response is:

“But this is never raised and debated in public… Why isn’t it?”

The answer is, not only the hard Left, but the ostrich “Right” suppress debate, suppress free speech. Debate is anathema to them; this is why Professor Sinclair Davison ran away after Jackson’s demolition of his IPA paper on manufacturing (I mean to say, Davidson hasn’t even addressed: the reverse of the J curve must be true - which Jackson showed in his article).

Who is there?

Janet Albrechtson, who called for a Right wing take-over of Australia, and helped destroy the fight for free markets.

Andrew Bolt, who has botched things rather badly, from labour markets to C02 taxes. This is plain wrong:

“Let’s focus instead on this: can Rudd’s plan work? Will his emissions trading scheme slash our gases by anything close to what he wants?

There are two reasons to say that it hasn’t the slightest hope. That all Rudd will do is raise green taxes, not cut greenhouse gases.”

Bolt doesn’t see that Rudd will cut gases by destroying capital. Bolt speaks of costs, and rising prices of energy to consumers and doesn’t hit the target, which is, the real cost is the destruction of production. The rest of it, as bad as it is here, Carbon pain is priceless.

He doesn’t have a clue as to what to attack, and is not armed to attack, and he refuses to bring in those who can help him. He wings it and thus sticks another knife into the back of a fight that must be won. Making Bolt’s efforts sillier is his advocacy of the C02 tax called ethanol production.

Ethanol production is itself heavily subsidised. This alone shows it is not economic and capital is thus being consumed. The diseconomies of ethanol are worse than this. It is destroying food production. To make it even better, Parliament put through legislation to force transfer of land into forests, to be preserved for a century (!) as carbon sinks - another Co2 tax. Bolt has never defended what he supports and has never apologised for it.

The whining “Right” bang on about the nasty Leftists dominating the media, the lies they tell and their efforts at censorship. What about these great heroic Rightwing journalists, and for that matter those who are also supposed to be economic commentators? Nothing, zip, but for a constant flow of stuff ups passed as tough journalism.

The problem with this lot is: they are so incompetent and extremely feeble with it that they do not stir Liberal MsP and their advisers. There is nothing to force them to reach for the panic phone and demand they be introduced to sources who can advise them. Nothing to stir them into a bit of effort; and into a bit of fight. Nothing. The diseased Left observe this and are pleased.

The anti-Free Market Clunker Tanks

The IPA’srecord of advice is how Cabinets can strangle firms to death the right way. This sums up their performance on Co2 taxes.

Centre for Independent Studies has achieved the same. Then found itself an even jollier roll, telling stupid MsP how to wipe out Australians ‘the right way’ through Co2 taxes. (It is yet to explain it’s lobbying activities, and its conflicts of interests).

Now, while having noted Bolt’s limp attacks on Leftists over the Greens’ lies and Co2 taxes, he his strangely silent on the CIS‘ thuggery and treachery. Why, Bolt? Let’s reel off some considerations:

Michael Kroger and Peter Costell
HR Nicholls Society.

His lips are zipped tight with super bond glue, as a recent item by this brave reporter shows. In it, he enthusiastically slams Rudd, using a statement by Garnaut that leaves Rudd hanging. He did not go for the CIS’sjugular over Co2 taxes.

Again, he failed to hit what is wrong, including Garnaut’s economic modelling, which as of physics models nothing. He needs to start reading Brookesnews. Shostak swiflty disposed of economic modelling in an article on Brookesnews. Jackson neatly demolished Co2 taxation for what it is and the CIS’s false claims with it. Yet, Bolt would rather cripple a fight that must be won against dangerous measures than do that.

Bolt is in with them. He’s one of them. He’s fed his lines by them. He covers them. Ditto the CIS. For some odd reason the words gutless, unprincipled and stone dead idle occur. So, in case they mean anything, they are trotted out. Murdoch must be a charity bin. After all, Murdoch, $3,000 a week is a lot of charity to apply to a spineless ‘wait for the telephone to ring sitter’.

Tim Blair, covers the covers. They all belong to a closed group. Tim Blair sees nothing wrong with the ‘Rightwing’ duds. He sees nothing wrong with Bolt covering for duds. He sees nothing wrong with the Right’s failure to promote talent, and their suppression of talent. He sees nothing wrong with the Right blacklisting of talent. Indeed, this is why Blair was so happy to see Jackson blacklisted, he cheered for it.

These highly paid bastards, Blair, Bolt and Albrechtsen are reinforcing the slobs in Parliament and their inbred family members pretending to be advisers. These three mean that Parliamentary seat warmers remain secure in their cretinism. These jokers are doing their bit to destroy not only the Liberal Party, but bloody Australians with it. This is how hot these three bozos are. Again, the hard Left see this and are well pleased with these three clowns.

All up

Why is Rudd and his pack of sponging little dictators in Office. It’s rhetorical question only for:

Rudd and co would not be in office if it were not for the sodding bungling “Right”. We wouldn’t face being wiped out by Co2 taxes, central planning and all locked together by coercion, if it were not for a pack of cripples, who daily manage to crawl out of bed each morning only to piss on the toes of genuine Liberals and modest Australians, and then crawl off for a good all day snooze in comfy chairs.

And there was nothing to object while watching it.

No-one in the Liberal Party spotted what was wrong with Julie Bishop’s excruciating attack on the Rudd Cabinet over economics, before she delivered it Monday. Not Bishop, Not Turnbull, not any MP, not any of their advisers. Neither did anyone spot something else wrong, the plagiarism of the WSJ article.

Worse, no-one in the Liberal Party spotted the plagiarism until yesterday, in Parliament. The ALP directed them to the difficulty, because someone in the ALP (and it wouldn’t have been any MP because ALP MsP are as thick as solid concrete too) spotted it and kindly corrected Bishop and the Libs, from the floor of the Lower House, during Question Time.

BOWEN:

“The Treasurer has informed the House of some fundamental
errors by the shadow Treasurer, and it is with a heavy heart that I have to report yet another error by the shadow Treasurer. In her now infamous speech on Monday, she said this at the dispatch box:

“It is symptomatic of a government that is unsure of where to go or how far to go. This is a government that says it wants to promote Australia as a financial services hub and then reduces withholding tax for foreigners.’

“I even checked the Hansard this morning and it is still
there. Sometimes mistakes can tragically disappear from the Hansard but this one is still there. She came in in full flight, the Wall Street Journal in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other, and off she went to launch an attack on our withholding tax policy.”

Wayne Swann replying to a question from Bishop:

“Well, I do know that you need a distraction because there has been a lot of action happening today. I would just like to quote from the Australian online today:

“… the offending paragraphs of background were provided for her speech from the leader’s office.’

“Is that true? Who provided it? It says provided ‘from
the leader’s office’. It continues:

“Ms Bishop was understood to be “ropeable” about the error
but willing to take the public flak rather than blame others.’

The blame game is everywhere on that side of the House today. She has been caught out. She has got no excuse for it.”

Union thug and dunderhead Simon Crean:

“…the new shadow Treasurer, and she is the one in this place who wants to be judged on her economic credentials… But on Monday—I think her first intervention
since her appointment to the job…”

Albanese:

“You can understand why they are worried… so defensive… this is now the sixth gaffe in some three days—two a day is the average of the member for Curtin. When it comes to plagiarism, when the member for Curtin became the shadow Treasurer she did not ask for extra staff—she asked for an extra photocopier in her office!

“…the shadow Treasurer was caught out- plagiarising, and then caught out doctoring Hansard….”

Swann again:

“So all of this is an elaborate camouflage to hide the embarrassment of the member for Curtin. As usual, it is the cover-up that really pings them.”

“Asked why he had just sacked one of his ministers, Clement Attlee, Britain’s first postwar prime minister, replied: “Not up to the job.”

The anecdote introduces a Wall Street Journal article, Britain’s Brown Bust, applied to Gordon Brown. Bishop was never up to the job of Shadow Treasurer, and this was before her own “WSJ” speech. This is revealing about Malcolm Turnbull and many a Liberal MsP. After all, her time as Ministeress for dumbing down Education should have warned off even the thickest Deah Leadah from appointing her to anything more difficult than flobbering around on the backbench.

On the ban on short selling, while Turnbull is a complete economic illiterate, he as he boasts made his way as a lawyer into merchant banking. While it might seem pedantic, but merchant banks also engage in financial market operations. It might be assumed, therefore, Turnbull would be at least familiar, have some sort of inkling as to why short selling and long selling are important. It, therefore, might be assumed he would have an inkling why bans and control of these actions causes extensive damage. It is painfully clear he cannot even muster this.

Turnbull, as Minister for the Green Cult of Death Environment under Howard, declared the Government must forcer prices up of energy, water, and other commodities. His rationale was, because “as everyone knows, it delivers greater efficiency in their use”. This ignoramus wants to be Prime Minister! One thing is cleared up, the Fuhrer principle is alive and jumping in the Liberal Party and to check, new Liberal Senator in his maiden speech gave the game away -”us leaders”.

NB.
It is low and falling prices that show greater efficiency. Of course, this very wealthy pooh bah, Turnbull, is insulated from what he would care to inflict on Australians - just as, say the Rudds are.

Another NB, Rudd’s wife is no entrepreneur. The sheer amount of transfers into her firm, and other firms by each ‘tier’ of government, bound up with hiring and firing regulations and novelties concerning public service hiring and promotions is why. At least both the Turnbulls and the Rudds have three things in common, the desire to raze Australians, play the dictator, and are insulated (to a point) from the force of their psychopathic aims.

Not really, it’s only the fungus “Right” doing this.

The “Luxury car” tax bill and amendments have been passed. Tucked away in the details was a carbon tax. This carbon tax was supported by the Liberal Party. What drew my attention to this appalling act of treachery was a member of the Australian Nazi Party the Greens, Christine Milne. This vicious piece of work pointed it out yesterday, in the Senate. Next, Family First have linked up with the Greens and the ALP.

“Senator MILNE (Tasmania) (5.29 pm) ‘But now that I know that the coalition supports the standard of 120 grams of CO2 per kilometre…I am really pleased… , I agree with Senator Abetz that we should be getting down to 120 grams per kilometre as soon as
possible…”

Abetz lead the Liberal Party’s position on the ‘luxury’ car tax. Consider it, the luxury tax is one more stinking burden heaped onto the backs of Australians and yet it is severable from the Co2 tax. So, while the Liberals howled about the impact of the luxury tax (in this they were ineffectual as it was) they happily supported a tax that is capital destroying.

Milne used Europe as an excuse for the tax. This is the lemming fallacy; the Europeans are being forced to jump over a cliff by their lawless, socialist governments, so we must do it too. What is Abetz’s excuse? Oh I know, Liberal Party seats are occupied by arrogant, ignorant, lazy bastards and hire the same types as their advisers. It was Packer who said of Malcolm Turnbull,

“I wouldn’t want to get between Turnbull and a dollar’.

It needs an update, “I wouldn’t want to get between the whole bloody lot of these parasites and destruction of Australia.”

It was Kroger’s strategy to let the ALP ruin Australians and wait for voters to run crying to the Liberal Party. Then, he and the blobs will repair the damage (these morons can’t even tie their own shoelaces). The strategy is a consistent failure and, conseqently, it’s been updated.

The Liberal Party will do their level best to help diseased leftists destroy Australians. This way, they can sit in the rubble that once was Parliament, jabbering about grand plans and “build’n’ dah nation” through marvellous ‘laws’ to, oh, what, feel holy? To feel they are doing great things, as they are now?

Look at the above, Nazi Greens, Family “screamingly stupid venal socialists” First Party, and the ALP. Not too long ago, certain ‘rightwing’ charlies had a great laugh, something about “bong heads”. They also laughed at the statement the Greens and the other diseased Left fronts are being handed major victories. Here’s the hot flash:

What the Libs did in Parliament was hand another great victory to these totalitarian followers of a death cult. The slobssnoring their heads off in Liberal seats, and their advisers having a good lie down in the office, felt pleased with themselves. This is not all:

The numbers of the Hot Red Nazi Greens Party has received additions in the Senate. With, for example, this cult’s mantra brainwashed into children in schools, the reality is, they are emerging as a major Party, while the Liberal Party is being shredded. In the Senate, it facess extermination; the electoral numbers show this is the threat.

Milne and her fellow totalitarian thugs smugly stand up in Parliament and lay out their demands. This is the original victory. Without great numbers, yet three watermelon red former Ministers in the Howard Cabinet caved into the bums and their demands.

Smugly… because the completely stupid thumbsuckers clinging like Tarzan Grip to Liberal seats, who should be defending freedom, don’t have a clue as to what they are facing and must be fighting and, besides, they love sucking their thumbs all day and blowing bubbles. That’s all they do all day in Parliament – ah, an error.

Yesterday, the Liberal Senators decided to vary their routine. Cameron stood up and came out swinging and he hurt them and it showed, because they were shrieking, literally shrieking. Cameron is an ignorant union thug but one finds no fault in what he did: pulped a pack of ignorant, unprincipled cowards who stab modest Liberal Party members and Australians in general in the back, daily. This done, they then do their little trade and barters with the hard Left, and enjoy a group hug and kiss-in with the diseased Left. Well, they do have a good dose of the clap as in, they were all clapped out before each entered Parliament.

So, here we have it: Rudd about to ram down Soviet style central planning with a touch of Nazi and Mussolini fascism, as a sentimental gesture to the good old days, and the Libs stood up in Parliament and voted a: “We’re with you Rudd. We are bipartisan, shoulder to shoulder with you. Hey, if it’s good enough for those bottom dwellers the Family First Party, it’s good enough for us.”

In Europe, car companies are in deep trouble over the very same type of carbon tax that the socialist thugs grinding Europe into the mud imposed. This is what the bastards occupying precious Liberal Party seats did to Australians.

I’ll leave off for today, because one is warming up and we come out swinging tomorrow, beginning with those liars in the CIS who pumped hard for larcenous cretins seeking to become wealthy billionaires by razing Australians through Co2 taxes.

Ah, a slight correction: This is what donors have paid $20m plus to the CIS for, carbon destruction day.

Together the CIS and IPA have stashed away $30-40millions. Donors should have flushed the funds down toilets, literally. Toilets don’t cause real damage. Toilets are genuine humanitarians because they serve man, usefully and effectively and they don’t backstab good guys.

That was last week when ALP backbencher, a Mr. Murphy, stood up in Parliament and fulminated. His wife had not received a large enough serve of taxpayer subsidised, $7 a head, chef cooked lunch that. The chef did not know his place.

Murphy railed, the chef should have served his wife triple helpings served on a jumbo size plate aka a horse bucket. This was a terrible deprivation. The ALP were severely damaged, and thus it’s been all downhill since for the Liberal Party.

Yesterday was a shocking day for Liberal Party members and Australians in general. There was a consolation, it was watching these bone idle cowards bleed to death, after solid beatings all day long. The drawback of Parliamentary broadcasts from one House only is, it means missing the mince grinders at work in the other House. First, the least offensive of what transpired.

Opposition Deputy Leader and Shadow Treasurer, Julie Bishop, Plagiarised Wall Street Journal article

An entire article.

It was reported this morning on the radio. She committed this offence in a speech on economics. It was also reported that the Hansard record was altered to eliminate the damning evidence. It is with understandable glee that the ALP announced an inquiry to both the plagiarism and the falsification of the record.

Hansard is altered during the night to correct the record, rendering it as true as possible. This is one thing, but to erase evidence? Erasing evidence does not, to muse, erase the fact of the offence committed.

We have fresh perspective on Julie Bishop. She can no longer be called a dunderhead, which is a pity for it has a pleasing ring to it. It also means that she, as Turnbull’s Deputy and Shadow Treasurer, shows the Liberal Party is in far grimmer shape than hitherto assumed. This is a Party not merely dominated by ineffectual dumbkopfs. This is a Party heading only one way, imminent extinction.

A MPI.
Is this the speech in which the genius decided to demonstrate her powerful empty cranium’s capacity for smashing into sharp edges?

“MATTERS OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE Economy

“The DEPUTY SPEAKER (Hon. BC Scott)—Mr Speaker has received a letter from the honourable member for Curtin proposing…

“The Government’s failure to provide leadership on the economic and financial challenges facing Australia.

Bishop lead the attack, if throwing buttered bread rolls at Rudd and Swann can be conceivably called a savaging. She commenced her masterful tirade by declaring economic success is pinned to leadahs and their ability to show leaders. Bishop might try explaining this novel notion to the principles of firms going to the wall, being strangled to death, and being starved of capital thanks to Co2 taxation like energy companies.

Then she delivered this terrible cut with the butterknife:

“International Court of Justice over whaling? He was going to lead the world in the charge against whaling. What happened to that global initiative? What happened to the case against Japan—to be prosecuted no doubt by the minister for the environment? It has just sunk without a trace.

“Then, of course, the Prime Minister recently announced
the establishment of a $100 million global clean coal initiative, where Australia is again going to lead the world.”

This sort of tripe occupies most of the speech. Towards the end she arrives at her indictment of Rudd and Swann. Unlike the US Gand the UK Government, the Rudd Cabinet was slow to ban short selling. She really ground them into the dust with this one, which is why Bowen (not Rudd or Swann), nose bleeding - he was reduced to dangerous laughing, stood up for the Cabinet and casually kicked her head in.

“In response to the international financial crisis. It is illuminating to see how botched the government’s response has been… Let me take you through a chronology because then you will appreciate how incompetent this government has been…

“In contrast to the measured approach of the SEC in the United States and the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom, the Rudd government dithered. They were like rabbits caught in the spotlight. You see, not a few weeks ago the Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law stressed that the Rudd government would not ban short selling.”

There was something badly botched. It was the decision in the US, Britain and now the Rudd Cabinet to ban short selling. Short and long selling have some very important functions. One is that they stop wild fluctuations in the markets, which is what the bans are supposed to do but they won’t. The bans will deliver wild fluctations because of the elimination of this very important signal. This is bound up with the second major reason:

Short and long selling show expectations of the future. The question that must be analysed is what is therefore informing these expectations shown in short selling? To illuminate:

Supply of capital funds to energy companies have been cut. The market has written down these firms by over $40billion already. Investors see no future in energy companies and the reason for this is bleeding obvious: Rudd’s capital destroying Co2 taxation plans, bolstered by the Centre for Independent Studies.

What is driving the short selling has to be carefully stepped through, and requires solidly grounded economic reasoning. So how could not merely Bishop, but the Turnbull Shadow Cabinet leap to a shallow conclusion and whine that the Rudd Cabinet has been slow to impose a very damaging ban, which places more creeping control into the Rudd fascist Cabinet? Nothing, that is what is going on, nothing at all.

Nothing inside their craniums. Nothing inside their advisers, and nothing inside the clunker tanks. If this is the speech into which the WSJ article was inserted, it is understandable.

The blobs who dominate the Parliamentary Party, devoid of a clue, had to appear brainy. Committing the Liberal Party to another destructive measure requires an excuse no matter how feeble. Darn, this is a mistake, because it assumes they can recognise it as such. Further, they do have to attempt, and it was a rather bad attempt, pretend that they and their advisers have a bloody clue other than their egos.

Their egos… this they understand. They smile and sodding Australians, being beaten up by each tier of Government, smiles with them. At last! ‘Alternative energy’, the sunbeam economy has arrived. Bishop told us why: She is a leadah, she smiles and, presto, Australia lights up.

Sundry notes

The Cabinet is also pushing a Bill for new permanent controls over short term selling.

It was ASIC that placed the current ban on short selling. ASIC is independent of the Government. This is further illumination of how facile Bishop’s effort was. Which Cabinet in the past was responsible for the legislation giving ASIC this ‘power’ over the market?

Lastly, the final section of the speech is where she inserted the plagiarised text. The style reveals all, which can be summed up: it’s compactness is a sharp contrast to the slops she dished up before the inserted text, and typifies all that she says in the name of the Shadow Cabinet and Liberal Party.

Update: it’s in, confirmed. She plagiarised an item by Paulson of the US Treasury and inserted it exactly where I identified it’s incorporation.

This is what $20 millions plus in donations has bought.

Continuing an interesting exchange, Mr. Steve Edwards remarked:

“I think it’s highly unfortunate that these MPs are making such nakedly collectivist arguments in Parliament. However, it’s not so much a function of listening to the CIS, but of failing to take on board any of the CIS’s actual positions.”

This is a candid admission of failure. $20 million plus later between the CIS and the Institute of Public Affairs for failure. A success achieved over nearly 12 years under the Howard Cabinet, and a decade of Kennett. The wash up is failure, marked by the blind, deaf and dumb dunderheads occupying Federal and State Parliaments who resemble nothing so much as a Brahmin version of Helen Kroger’s salon for collectivist Brahmin and this isn’t that far from the truth:

The wealthy Wootton family funds hard Left fronts. Here’s another blithering, handwring fool, RICH: Victorian Socialist Left plot to milk millionaire’s moolah. The heir to a fortune can’t dirty his hands in engaging in the hard muck of production, so instead he idles away playing at politics, having thrown his lot and money in with diseased Leftists.

The CIS scoreboard
- Defence of free markets, an unmitigated disaster. Failure.

-Demanding Co2 taxation, and lobbying on behalf of interests, for Co2 taxation. Failure.

-Confronting the ACTU and the hard Left. Failure

-Promotion of talent. Failure.

-Engaging the public. Failure.

-Failure to engage in activism to reach out to the voting public. Failure.

All these failures have two things in common: Intellectual failure and moral failure.

Intellectual failure

Having raised the relationship between economics and law in previous articles, the former is the ground of the second, let’s sum it up:

Economic laws is the rule of law. This is what common law reflects, upholds, and asserts against larcenous Cabinets and bureaucrats.

Perfect competition is not the rule of law, it is the assault and overthrow of the rule of law in favour of lawless statists. This is why reading fine exponents of the Austrian school, Jackson, and Shostak, one also reads men who are seriously concerned about principles. This is why, Mr. Edwards, one bangs on about the unprincipled “Right”, they are devoid of principles, the rule of law.

This is why States and Federal Parliamentary wings of the Liberal Party are wastlands filled with the walking dead, zombies, and they are Statist zombies. This is why the scrofulous Right flung Bracks, Brumby and Rudd into office. This is why, as incredible as it appears, Rudd and his Cabinet of Soviet style planning cretins are kicking their heads in daily.

Moral Failure:

This follows intellectual failure. No principles, no fight, or certainly not the right fights. It is also reflected in their statism, what they did with the STO and OPA. Indeed, what Bracks and Brumby have deepened is not Victoria, but Vic Inc. and it was the Kennett Cabinet and their advisers who set this up and made Brackistan possible.

It is why Rudd and his fellow fascist thugs are in office. It is why Australians thanks to Bracks, Brumby and Rudd, are forced to own forced labour in Chinese prisons, as I related yesterday. It is why thugs in NSW freely go about threatening firms and staff, as in Iguanagate. It is why the Liberal Party pursues none of the scandals and culprits responsible for them.

It is why the CIS is lobbying for Co2 taxation.

Cowardice

From the above two failures, the third failure follows, Cowardice.

Not once do they go for the Left’s jugular. They know, Steve, because they are intellectual failures, the diseased Left would simply break their fingers, legs and backs in any public confrontation. Yet it is worse than this.

It is despicable to see these “Rightwing” bruisers run crawling to Leftists, and apologising to them whenever they offend the sensitivities of the Left. The same is to be observed in Parliaments: Liberal MsP, or rather MsP pretending to be Liberals are as likely to hurt opponents as pet mice.

Politics is a fight over principles. Voters must be convinced. Fighting means there are some who must be hurt and yet no diseased Nazi Greeny, or hard Leftist in the ALP has ever been throttled by Liberal MsP, CIS, IPA and HR Nicholls Society.

Vice
Follows.

The treachery of the nepotistic Left:

They don’t hit the hard Left in public. They run away at the mere sniff of trouble. Instead, they slime and backstab genuine Liberals. They, Mr. Edwards, are a pack of vicious old housewives.

The hard Left are cultists, they believe in their cause and work to realise it. The Right, not giving a stuff for principles, are only out for themselves, position, money and feeling oh so important. This is why in Victoria a talentless mediocrity in one Michael Kroger was able to seize control of the Liberal Party, and he doesn’t even hold an office in the Party. This is why he bestowed on the long suffering members Julian “Iron Man Jules” Sheezel, who is so thick he has to be instructed in how to use email; a bungler whom Kroger decreed members be compelled to pay $4,000 a week. That’s a large sum to pay for the constant daily stream of cock-ups that flowed out of his office.

Then, there’s “Potty Mouth” Barry Russell “the toy dog” Hanan. But the greatest disaster is the sheer number of ignorant boobies Kroger and Costello have imposed as MsP. They are in blue and safe seats. The only seats that can be defended in the forthcoming elections because, thanks to Kroger and his Brahmin backers, and their contempt for members and principles, they have blown the membership away. Oh, and this means many of those seats will be turned marginal or lost because they are heading south. Blue ribbon seats such as Corangamite and Portland have been reduced to marginal, held by 1 or 2 percent. Oh, and ALP seized Corangamite in 2007.

Corangamite was a blue ribbon seat, and was a Liberal Party dynamo of Western Victoria until Kroger and his stick puppets destroyed it. City blue ribbon seats will follow and an indication of this is the once blue ribbon seat Alexander Downer held in Adelaide. It’s now a marginal, held by a measly few percentage points.

While Western Australians loathe the WA ALP for what they are, Leftist destroyers, in the recent State election they did not run to mummy, the Liberal Party. The Libs, devoid of principles and possessed of contempt for the man in the street, do not believe the effort is required, voters will do as they are told or out of fear. Voters didn’t run to mummy. The Libs agreed to an extortionate deal with the Gnat Nats who jobbed them into office.

No debate

There is no debate in the Liberal Party, it’s forum and think tanks, for all the above reasons. This also means there is no feedback mechanism to check for mistakes and to hammer matters which are not the private province of a self anointed elite. It is about principles that are the reason why Liberals join the Party, and ultimately have force for Australians. Principles have to be constantly hammered out and debated.

Those destroying the party exist in a loop, bound to undergraduate texbooks buried in the anti-free market falsehood of perfect competition.

The closed loop, lusting for power, seats, and two think tanks with $20m plus in their vaults, make sure it is set like a slab of concrete on top of Liberals. This entrenches why the Party is being destroyed and great causes undermined and blown up. New talent is not encouraged, it is squashed. This is why the Party and forums are filled with the same aging bodies, new talent ups and leaves when it dawns upon them that they are meant to be good serfs only.

Kroger manifests another aspect to this. The mediocrity fears talent. With his tight grip over the Party, it is mediocrities who have been promoted within the Party. No-one with brains, learning, spine and guts has been allowed anywhere near any post. This is a small and cowardly man. Brave, generous men do not fear talent, they seek it out because it brings success. Kroger typifies the nepotistic “Right”; moral, cowardly pgymies.

It is why the CIS and the IPA have not applied the $20m plus funding fronts run by talent, and drawing in talent to assist them. Talent is a threat to Greg Lindsay and his band of witless blunderers. It is why the lot of them, Kroger, IPA CIS and HR Nicholls Society sooner destroy good causes, it’s themselves first and sod Liberals and Australians.

Principles have to be constantly hammered out and debated.

Before even contemplating offering for candidacy, even bright man has to be armed. This is why MsP are beaten up daily, they are not armed, never were armed and refuse to arm themselves. It is why they lose elections, they cannot take the fight to the man in the street. They are incapable of engaging the man in the street and opening up what Libs should stand for. Thus he fails to convince. Not only protean MsP either.

Members must be armed. They take the fight to electorates, or should and cannot. They are treated as serfs, gofers dumb help. It showed in recent elections in Victoria. They were as helpless at answering voters who approached them during campaigns, as were Kroger stick puppets jobbed in as candidates. This told, in the reactions of voters. This was in stark contrast as to how the ALP went about things. Voters were lost on the streets to the ALP; apart from all those Hugh Morgan and his fellow idiots in the HR Nicholls Club, Minchin, Sheezel, and Kroger lost because they destroyed the solid, sound campaign for labour market reform.

The above are not failures, Mr. Edwards. They are shocking disasters that unfolded out of the failures of the sclerotic “Right”. Worse, more disasters are unfolding now, and new ones are to follow. If this is success, it is a stunning achievement - rather as rabbits caught in headlights and flattened. The difference is, no-one sane goes out of their way to throw rabbits under cars but the lot wrecking Liberal causes do, except it’s the Liberal Party and they keep throwing it under a ruddy great road train.

Resumed
This will be continued tomorrow. Pleasures, such as slow lunching in good company, should never be hurried. For today, in sum:

The singular point to the disasters and looming disasters, and Australia is now in deep trouble, is the origin, intellectual failure. The CIS and the IPA are not advancing free market economics, they are discrediting what is thoroughly sound, thoroughly principled, with the weight of history, and the weight of the history of economics behind it: Mr. Jackson, bye the bye, demonstrates this in his articles. He shows it in the quotations and citations he supplies. Jackson is saying nothing new.

What is telling is the material published by the clunker tanks, IPA, CIS and, HR Nicholls Society, are devoid of such grounding. Then, we’ve given the reason why they are intellectual voids above - they are stuck in undergraduate textbooks shot with fictions and fallacies and nothing else. Walking Blanks, and this lot pretend to be defending Liberal causes, pretend to be advancing free markets! Donors should be honest: if they want to fund Mickey Mouse then they should have the spine to come clean and go to Disneyland and hand over the $20m plus dollars to the mouse, instead of his close cousins. At least Mickey will earn some of the funds, because he is honest about what business he is in and sticks to it, entertaining children.

They are destroying the effort required to advance it and for what? The lawless, statist, anti-freemarket rubbish of perfect competition. With it, they smear economists such as Mr. Jackson, whose grip is thorough and grounded in solid scholarship and reasoning in economics. They do it for the above failures. This is why the likes of the CIS wind up pushing capital mass destruction, and the absolutist measures required to impose it, through Co2 taxation.
