Google V EU

The EU's commission's announcement earlier this week that it is fining Google £2 billion for unfair practices is another obscene illustration of how the institution is the very antithesis of neo liberal as some on the Left bizarely assert and that it is on the contrary a semi socialist protectionist block wholly hostile to entrepreneurship and capitalism.

If Trump wants to really put 'America first' he would announce that the US will  no longer recognise the EU as a legitimate legislative body that can impose such criminal fines on US companies and grant Google legal immunity from any actions of the Commission.

Google should announce that it is withdrawing its operations from the EU also.

The 1967 Abortion

The Abortion Act of 1967 was a legal evasion in that it allowed abortion on certain conditions including the assent of two registered doctors and if the life of the mother could be proved to be in jeopardy by giving birth, rather than asserting what it should have, namely the right of the mother to her own body and to choose whether to have an abortion or not. By this evasion morality was circumvented in favour of expediency re the above mentioned exemptions.

So abortion has remained a criminal offence punishable by jail and the recent move to decriminalise it is way over due. The fact that the present law has been used by millions of women to have an abortion is beside the point as the fundamental principle of the right of the woman to her own body and what to do with it ie the protection of her individual rights should haven been unequivocally asserted as inalienable, a fundamental principle  not be evaded or obfuscated by the weasel fudge  of legal loopholes.

For the same reason all drugs should be de criminalised but again a compromised evasive solution has been adopted where those with clinical conditions are allowed access to certain drugs.

The purpose and motive behind both legal positions is clearly the State's deliberate intention to  deny the principle of individual rights and replace them with subjective arbitrary rules and conditions totally at the mercy of their favour  ie special privileges, not rights.

The Social Disease

Whenever a word is prefixed by the word 'social' alarm bells should start ringing as some fraud or logical sleight of hand is invariably about to be perpetrated. 'A Social Attitude survey has found' is definitely a case in point. I have already discussed collectivist words and phrases that go under the radar such a 'public opinion' etc and the collectivist word  'social' is another.

The media this morning is full of a Public Attitude Survey that reveals that a sizeable proportion of those asked would like to see taxes raised to pay for public services. Leaving aside the dodgy methodology of such surveys and the rigged leading questions with their false premises - (ie that more money given to poorly run State services will improve them) there is an obvious solution for those who feel that they are not being taxed sufficiently,namely, they can contact the Inland Revenue service and request that it take  more tax from them.

Of course such people would protest vigorously at such a suggestion as what they are really doing in such a case is virtue signalling  and what they want is for other people to pay more taxes as well.

Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation

Nick Robinson twice prevented Grant Schapps from critiquing Corbyn  on the Today programme this morning revealing his true red colours and blowing for the trillionth time the BBC's absurd, fantastically false claim to be politically neutral. The organization clearly believes it is beyond the reach of any sanctions as every time the Conservatives moot such a step there are howls about political interference in the Public Service Broadcaster from the liberal establishment and it thus has total immunity -and what's more knows it and acts accordingly as witness Robinson's brazen  behaviour.

Myth of the 'Right Wing Press'

In order to nail the obvious Left canard of the 'Right wing press' one only has to do a simple balance sheet of British newspapers. In the Right corner we have the Telegraph, Daily Mail and  Daily Express. In the Left corner we have the Guardian,the Daily Mirror,  the Observer and by my reckoning the Independent but even if that is rejected there is the Morning Star which last time I checked was selling in Smiths! So another Left lie exposed.

I noticed recently that our local newspaper has been taken over by the Mirror group so we are now treated to endless lefty propaganda columns by the likes of novelist, environmentalist and Corbinist Julie Wassemer and all the letters seem to be written by lefties. Whatever else this is it is defintely not indicative of a 'right wing press'.

On the other hand we definitely do  have a Left wing broadcasting media totally controlled and regulated by the State. Just watch and listen to any BBC political output with Question Time being the most blatant illustration with its 'self selected' left wing audience.

Can Conservatism Survive?

All the while Blairism ruled the Labour party pragmatic Conservatism could trundle along winning the odd election and still be just about a viable force in British politics but with the emergence and triumph of the hard left Corbyn socialism of Labour it is looking decidedly threadbare,weak,pallid,insipid  compromised and downright shifty by comparison.

 Post mid 90's there was no discernible need for a Thatcher,the socialist dragons had all been slayed, or so it was thought,and it remained merely a managerial task of the tories to run the country efficaciously.Ideology was out the window,buried along with history and post Blair the tories had practically become the unofficial Blairite party. It was the future once.

Then  Labour changed its rules and opened up membership to the general public at £5 a time and it opened the floodgates for all the old hitherto alienated Labour voters  and activists to pile in,swell Labour's ranks exponentially and allow Corbyn to come back from the political dead and take over the party.

Are there lessons for the tories to be learned here? I would say absolutely. It should take a leaf out of Labour's book and do the exact same thing. Membership would double and it would be considerably to the right of the tory MPs, in a cabinet where currently and staggeringly 20 of the 27 members are Remainers (which roughly reflects the stark fact that 75% of all MPs in the House of Commons are Remainers).

This policy if adopted would put some lead in the tories pencil but ultimately I believe it is a victim of its pragmatism which was there from the very start and its pragmatic chickens are only now just coming home to roost. Its decline  and moral disintegration is inoperable and a new party of a liberal,libertarian bent will be the only real and credible counter to Labour's statist authoritarian advance. The only question remaining is  will there even be enough time for such a movement to emerge for Corbynism has taken everyone by surprise including myself and I am not so sure or confident that there will be.

Unidentified Collectivist Terms in the Political Baggage Dept

There are everyday words and phrases that go under the radar below conscious awareness that we should really identify and pay attention to   in order to understand the motivation of those politicians and influencers who use them on a daily basis thus enabling us to  be protected and immune from their intended effects.

Some examples are: the public, public mood, public anger,public opinion, public consciousness,the people, the will of the people, society,the local community,the many not the few - and it should be noted that all of these have something in common in that they are collectivist terms and they are invariably articulated by statist politicians when justifying yet another power grab by the state in the form of regulation,tax increases and  state creep in general.Some statist politicians occasionally break cover and refer explicitly to the 'collective consciousness' which only they can somehow mystically divine and articulate.

As Thatcher said there is no such thing as society (although Rand said it before her in a 60's essay) and the claim has been  vehemently repudiated by statists ever since but has never been invalidated simply by virtue of the fact that it is a statement of the obvious.

It is clear why politicians would want to deploy such collectivist terms when proposing yet another piece of invasive state legislation but it would be enough for people to simply identify them when they are invoked and  reject them.

Religious People Say the Dumbest Things( Part 300)

1.  Roy Masters  the leader of the self styled Fhu cult within a cult once said, to paraphrase, God made sex exciting for man because he knew that otherwise he  would fall down on the job of perpetuating the human race. Note that having children is not seen as what  it is, namely  a profoundly  selfish act done for the benefit of the parents but as an altruistic self sacrificing collectivistic duty and chore of man to replenish the human  race. Note also that there is no reference in the Bible to this motivation  of God's cited by Masters and it is just yet another bizarre concoction created by him out of thin air. (As there are so many fantastic unbelievable events and claims documented in the Good Book  one would not have thought there was any need to invent yet more but there we are).

2. Another gem from Roy as his craven supporters love to call him: Christians have to be burried so that if they are brought back from the dead they are more or less intact whereas if they were cremated how could they be reconstructed . Youwhat?! The God that can perform mind blowing miracles too many to enumerate here is going to have problems reconstituting a pile of ashes back to its former human form and state? Really? Having swallowed a camel you are going to strain at a gnat? In the words of the late great Christopher Hitchens, don't waste my time with such nonsense!

Not Bringing it All Back Home

Why is the UK repatriating all Brussels regulations to the British parliament -did we not vote to leave to get away from all its Byzantines rules and regulations in the first place? If they are they are to be duplicated and replicated here at home  one wonders what the point of the exercise of freeing ourselves from Brussels was all about.

Way too much has been made of the complicated negotiations in store for the UK chiefly by those who want us to stay but it is only complicated if we play the EU's game which is about frustrating our intention to have a clean break from its oppressive rule by bogging us down in endless negotiations that lead nowhere.Cut the Gordian knot on the other hand, acknowledge openly and publicly that the EU is not a good faith negotiator and we are simple leaving and the thing will be done.

Maj Serves up Maybot's Thin Gruel

It was a squalid document from a crippled Maybot, impudently promising a rise in the minimum wage, an outrageous statist construct to begin with, representing a grievous state intrusion into the market,violating the individual rights of both employers and employees -the former to the inalienable freedom to run their business as they see fit and the latter to the right to work for whatever sum they agree with their employer - and the continued craven obedience to the UN dictat that the UK must spend 0.7% of GDP on the international welfare programme commonly known as the Black Hole of Foreign Aid.

The desultory speech lasted a mere 10 minutes reflecting the tory's total humiliating general election rout, and was bereft of the promise for more grammar schools -about the only good think Maybot came up with ever and the necessary reforms of the social care crisis.

Insipid Blairite toryism may limp on for a season but the Marxist vultures are circling above poised to pick its rotting flesh and cranking up for the Communist horror show to come.

Day of Rage and Envy

McDonnel,the smiling asssassin, master of the carefully cultivated innocent disengenuous look has ordered his fascist left supporters onto the streets in their millions today to intimidate and attempt to bring the government down.When the Labour party was purging itself of its hard left members in the 80's McDonnel and Corbyn clearly slipped through the net with the catastrophic result that what was a lunatic fringe within the Labour party has become the main controlling body of it and we now face a defacto British Communist party within spitting distance of power.

I drew parallells in a recent post between the fascist Left and its Orwellian policing of language through political correctness and the fascist Islamists with their censoring of dissent and hatred and intolerance of freedom of speech but another thing they both have in common is their understanding that they face no moral intellectual opposition anywhere,that the liberal establishment is corrupt and decadent and if you push consistently over time it will fold and collapse. Enough intimidation and terroristic acts playing  the long game and victory will be had.

We consequently face the twin terrors of Islamism and the fascist Left on the march - but crucially, no Thatcher in sight. This is the peril we confront naked and defenceless,intellectually and morally disarmed by decades of betrayal and subversion by the intellectuals and a conservative party long given over to amoral cynical pragmatism.

Other Foot, Meet Shoe

Suddenly the 'Muslim Community has found its voice,become passionate in unequivocally denouncing terrorism ,muslims are queueing up to get in front of a tv screen denouncing terrorism - terrorism directed at them that is.Now they are vocal,animated,outraged.Before,when it was Islamic terrorism against non muslims -nothing,silence complcit,passivity,silence. Now they want to tell us all about how they are a persecuted minority,everyone's got it it in for them,they are victims,neoNazis are round every corner targeting them. And the BBC and other self loathing liberal broadcasting outfits can't get enough of it. Compare and contrast.

Why is the Left so Sympatico with Islam?

With its political correctness of enforced speech codes,intolerance of opposition,hostility to free speech,illiberal silencing of dissenters,no platforming,boycotting,theories of micro aggression,safe spaces,trigger warnings and Orwellian policing of thoughts and ideas etc the thin skinned fascist left bears an uncanny resemblance to the thin skinned illiberal intolerant islamists and together they pose a serious threat to freedom and liberty in the West.

Howard Jacobson: A Study in Pure Evil

In BBC's R4 Points of View Howard Jacobson likened Brexiteers to Nazis and Remainers to French resistance fighters inWW2. As if this was not obscene and unconscionable enough he went on to compound the moral outrage by claiming those who won the referendum and were telling the losers to 'get over it' were like those who said survivors of the Holocaust and Auschwitz should get over it and seek closure. It was a case he continued of 'sore winners' re the Leavers. No Mr Jacobson the reason the Leavers are so mad at smug liberals like you is the entitlement culture you embody that makes you think the result should be reversed and it should liberal establishment business as usual.The contempt for democracy that such liberals exhibit belies the idea that they believe in it and reveals that their defence of is dependent upon them prevailing politically and if they are rejected by the majority they are quite prepared to throw their democracy out the window.This is the shocking reveleation that the referendum result has revealed.

That the BBC saw fit to air Jacobson's rant is indicative of the cancerous state of liberal thought in the early 21st century.

Praised Be the State

Faith in the state to deliver salvation is no less irrational than faith in God yet it is such a common delusion held in spite of all the overwhelming evidence to the contrary that it has to be acknowledged that  statism is indeed the new secular religion,the faith that passeth all understanding.No matter how many times it is demonstrated that a large intrusive invasive state pledged to provide people's every need and watch over them permanently from the cradle to the grave creates dependency infantilism,delinquency and an illiberal state that tramples on individual rights in pursuit of the collectivist ideal still people cling stubbornly to its nostrums and promises, holding to the Augustinian precept 'I believe because its unbelievable'.

No matter how many millions of corpses have been sacrificed to this statist ideal,never mind,the morality is pure and will ultimately lead to the New Jurusalem. Just a bit more sacrifice,a few more corpses and the eschatological destination will be reached.

The Left and the politics of Hate

The ugly street scenes yesterday from the left wing rent a mob Socialist Workers Party -surely redundant now  with the emergence of Corbyn, fanned unconscionably  by the vanguard of leftwingery the BBC was a perfect illustration from the left wing handbook on how to whip up hatred and rage and sow the seeds of discontent on faux class lines. The ugly shroud waving and grievance mongering was on display in all its toxic putrescence,a glimpse of the kind of world we will be entering if Corbyn and his fellow socialist thugs and henchmen get their hands on the levers of power.

There is a shadow on the land and the very real visceral fear that thanks to the ideological betrayal of the Conservatives personified in Theresa May the sinister clown Corbyn and his fellow socialist cohorts will end up in 10 Downing St and begin their Venezuelan Project and Britain as we know it will cease to exist, replaced by a dark tyrannical power that brooks no dissent and in all its vile core essentials is totalitarian bound.

One Religion is all Religions

If Christianity and Islam were only formed 40 years ago objectively speaking they would  rightly be viewed as cults but time and longevity has lent to them (totally unjustified in my estimation), respectability and gravitas to the point where criticism and satire of them is actually regarded and treated as a 'hate crime' punishable by prosecution and even jail not to mention imminent threat of death re Islam.

The UK state is not an impartial observer as it should be regarding institutions of faith as it is wedded to the state religion of Christianity re the Church of England and it is imperative that this ceases to be the case and disestablsihment should proceed apace in conjunction with the dissolution of the monarchy which is inextricably bound up with it and is the institutional constitutional physical manifestation of faith re the ancient heritage of the 'divine right of kings'.

Living in a Political World

If every fire,every flood,every natural disaster is political then we really are moving ever closer to totalitarianism. Is there anything that the State is not responsible for? It is already policing our thoughts, emotions,loves and hates and now it has taken control over every element of existence itself. Listening to the wailing and gnashing of teeth and demands for government action over the fire tragedy is like listening to semi free serfs demanding more chains.

Statist politicians are demanding more state control,evading the fact that the tragedy in London was caused by State control of housing which is the most regulated in the world and the fact is that the tragedy and regulations cannot be separated as they are causally linked. So too it must  be noted that there were environmentalist factors and agendas dictating regulation policy that impacted on the fire.

None of these things of course will be addressed in the post mortem amidst the hysteria, political cynicism and opportunism and all the wrong conclusions will be drawn about the imperative for yet more regulations and state control of housing.

Faux Idealism

Re the student Corbots, what is idealistic about voting for a political party that promises to take stuff from other people and give it to you -am I missing something here? This is a perversion and corruption of idealism,its antithesis in fact. True the young are idealistic but they spend all their educational years in corrupt institutions where 80% of their tutors teachers and lecturers as I have previously mentioned are leftists. They have consequently never been exposed to any non statist arguments.Everything has been funneled through a left wing perspective leaving them no chance to hear opposing views,counter arguments. Voting at the recent election was not some out of the blue (or red) inexplicable phenomena but the culmination of 15 years propaganda programming which culminated in the students dutifully carrying out the instructions of their socialist change agent  educators.

The Zombie State

A neutralised government is not such a bad thing. It cannot be legislatively hyperactive and with May's statitst leftist tendencies this has its advantages. The plague on both your houses verdict of the electorate also has a lot to commend itself morally and politically -none of these jokers are fit to run the country so a paralysed state in the lamentable circumstances may be the best option available. 'None of the above' is a perfectly respectable response of the electorate and is the true victor of the election.

Democracy in Crisis

Democracy is not inherently corrupt as it denotes a voting process that has been perverted by egalitarian concepts such as redistribution of wealth which were never originally intended and which has led to a perversion of liberty. If the role of the state was properly delimited voting in a democracy would be over minor details not fundamental issues involving individual rights and their violation as in the present system.

Such safeguards are essential if democracy is not to lead to demagoguery but as this past election has showed it is perilously in danger of  happening ,throwing up a demagogue in the form of Corbyn. It should not be forgotten that Hitler was elected legitimately in a democratic process but that did not save Germany from his egregious depradations.

Corbyn was never subject to the close inspection and criticism by the broadcasting media as the incumbent party and was never once referred to as leader of the 'far left'  as the tory party would have been if it adopted  extreme views in the opposite direction   undoubtedly being referred to as a 'far right' party.

Mixed Economy Chickens Come Home To Roost

A mixed economy is a house divided against itself that cannot stand. Sooner or later it must perforce collapse upon its own internal contradictions. Beloved by pragmatists it cannot withstand the full force of a confronting ideology that makes it seem pallid and vacillating by comparison even if the ideology in question is insane as Corbyn socialism clearly is. It holds up an idealistic vision albeit in this case patently dystopic of total state control,fairy tale solutions involving money trees and manna from Marxist heaven run by unions and party aparatchiks hunting down heretics who deviate from the programme and show any recidivist Blairite tendencies.

A mixed economy by defintion is a mixture of two competing ideas of government,socialist and capitalist. This unstable combination and contradiction has to resolve itself either by coming down on the side of complete socialism or complete capitalism.No one looking at the prevailing cultural norms could possibly assert that capitalism is the predominant ideological trend that will triumph when the Conservatives don't even believe in it or dare espouse its premises and fundamental precepts of liberty,small government, limited state interference in the markets  (reference May's semi socialist manifesto and speech on entering 10 Downing St).

After decades of compromising and selling out on capitalism,apologising for it,damning it with faint praise offering statist conservative solutions the mixed economy chickens have finally come home to roost and an avowed Marxist came within a few votes of becoming prime minister and may well cross the finishing line next time in the absence of an uncompromising pro capitalist conservative candidate which as far as I can see does not exist at this time.

Anti Establishment Youth. Really?

One of the most bizarre fictions of this election is the idea that the student  youth's support for Corbyn and their explicit  wish to be permanently sucking on the state's tit is a sign of them being anti establishment. The students are, on the contrary, institutionalised body and soul,reared by state funded leftist  teachers and professors in the universities and brainwashed into thinking that the state is the solution to all their problems and primed into a cravenly  statist groupthink in the most abjectly non radical and conformist way.

It is a total triumph of the Corbynite cult of personality propaganda that this glaring fact about him and his statist politics and the student's support for him has been so comprehensively misinterpreted.

Something In the Water?

The fact that the British electorate came within a whisker of electing to power a Marxist government and a left wing dictatorship should give us all pause and cause some reflection on the role ideology has played in this disastrous election. People will go to the barricades for an ideology but they won't get out of bed for pragmatism -even if the ideology on offer is barking mad and would lead to national suicide if ever implemented.

The Conservatives should look back and re think their obsession with pragmatism or Corbyn will win outright next time. I do not however think it can or will.Unless a new political party right of centre emerges the future for the country is very bleak indeed.

Er, I Told You So Part 2

Jeremy Trump

The anti establishment paranoid rant from Corbyn could have been lifted straight from the Trump handbook and who's to say it will  not resonate with all the angry pro big government section of the electorate here too? If recent trends are anything to go by the mad Marxist of Islington could well be snapping at  May's heels and overturn all media and pollster expectations once again.

Statism is the national religion so the electorate may conclude why not elect its high priest? The country will continue on its trajectory to a big state authoritarianism either way  but will just arrive at it quicker under Corbyn when the country will no doubt be twinned with Venezuela.

With the help of the Greens and the duplicitous Liberals,the SNP and Welsh there could even be a coalition of the deranged, a multicoloured nightmare all needlessly created by May herself, a woman  clearly without principles or integrity who has recklessly instigated this general election from hell.

Er, Told You So

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2017

Mayday

A record low turn out at the general election would send a clear message to the Westminster parasitic political elites - a plague on your house as they all share the same political home and there is no fundamental choice between the parties.Hubris is waiting in the wings for May and she shows herself to be very dim in actually basing her cynical decision on opinion polls of all things!

May was a continuation of Cameron,there was no break, no justification for seeking a mandate for herself,she was a Remainer like him and it was business as usual so the mandate seeking argument does not fly. No this was pure politicking and the public sense it and will probably punish her with a small majority hardly bigger than her present one - or with a hung parliament. There is a very real risk that she will be hoist on her own Heathite peturd.

May's Folly

An opportunistic move that could backfire spectacularly and unite all May's opposition to bring about her downfall. It will be Brexit Revisited but with the opposite result -this is the danger and I think it is a massive miscalculation on her part born of cynicism.The election will be a de facto referendum re run bringing out all the divisions when the country needs to get on with the job of getting out of the EU. Imagine a hung parliament and what that will do to Brexit.This is an unconscionable act of gross irresponsibility.

Broadcast Media in the hands of the State

There is a carpet ban on political debate throughout the whole of the broadcasting media in the UK on election day providing a conspicuous contrast with the free press which can print what it will without any state restrictions. This is an appalling state of affairs and one that should not be acquiesced in and tolerated without protest. The result of this repression and violation of free speech is a neutered broadcasting system which even at the best of times is bland due to the onerous state regulation of the airwaves -a state of affairs the left would like to duplicate in our at present free press if it got the chance

Reality or Moneytreeism

Are the polls lying yet again and May due for an electoral landslide? With opinion polls about as accurate as global warming predictions its anyone's guess.  If the the amount of Labour posters in people's windows round this part of Kent is anything to go by you would have to say Corbyn will win and its notable how many of them are houses in wealthy areas betokening the usual middle class guilt.

There are clearly a lot of shy secret tory voters out there, no doubt scared they will get a brick through their window if they display a tory poster which tells us all we need to know about Labour supporters. Voting tory is like a secret vice,the allegiance that dare not speak its name, as if a moral taint is attached to such allegiance which is testimony to how successful the left has been in colonising the moral high ground, undeservedly but the product of years of the tories emphasising economics and abandoning the field of ethics and morality to the left.Such a moral abdication may exact a very high price for them and us.

National Suicide Or Theresa May?

Its bad,no one can deny, a choice between a rabid socialist and a lacklustre,values-free tory opportunist Remainer but who is nonetheless a billion times better than the socialist.So holding one's nose the only option is to vote May to buy time and slow the descent into statist hell.But enthusiasm or even hope is entirely absent,just a delaying and stay of execution.A narrow to medium majority will be the best outcome,not the ringing endorsement May thought was hers, as her Remainer instincts are not to be given full rein.

Karma Police State

Under Chairperson Mayo in the Multicultural Revolution your thoughts and emotions are now under State control. We will police your loves and hates and direct your feelings.Domestic policy re terrorism will be conducted as a therapy session with periodic State instigated Minute's Silences after every successive terrorist outrage,with public gatherings and posters proclaiming Love and Peace. We have an unwritten constitution proclaiming Life,Liberty and the Pursuit of Pluralism.We may not have time to pursue known suspects because,well to be frank, everyone is a suspect and we are reading your emails.Vote for us on Thursday!

Thersa's Secret weapon against Islamists Revealed

We face an evil ideology of Jihadism and how are we going to wage war against it? With Pluralism! Our values she says are superior to theirs and all she can offer in proof is the weasel non word Pluralism which is little more than Multiculturalism in disguise. The dictionary definition of pluralism is the holding by various co existing groups within a country of competing belief systems within a 'common civilization' but it does not proffer what that common civilization consists of and neither does May because she hasn't got a clue.She is on principle an anti ideologist and is reduced to mouthing airy platitudes and vacuous generalities delivered in an emphatic tough talk style hoping  no one will notice the contradiction.

I am not suggesting that the State should be promoting an ideology as that is expressly not its role, it not being in the business of promoting ideas but the very least we should expect from our leaders is protection from those who seek to destroy us not facile speeches and burblings about pluralism and  proposing curbs on free speech which goes to the very heart of what contstitutes a free country.

Theresa in Wonderland

Imagine if Churchill had said we cannot defeat the Nazis militarily but we can change the way they think and attempt to root out their hate and outlaw their extremism. The British people would rightly think he had taken leave of his senses but that explicitly is what Theresa May said in response to the latest Jihadist atrocities in London: we cannot defeat them by force so we just need to outlaw their hate and extremism by closing down the internet.

If anyone wondered what the source of the West's impotence and abject failure in the face of Islamic barbarism and dark age religious atrocities the above cited comments will tell them all they need to know.

Religion Poisons Everything

Yet again the Islamanihilists strike at freedom and politicians wring their hands, utter cliches and platitudes and propose yet more restrictions on our liberty in the name of fighting the evil.Theresa May declares that this evil cannot be destroyed militarily,by force and this is the Big Lie and if we swallow it we are finished and I gave the exact solutions a few posts back.

May also repeated the oft heard canard that the perpetrators last night in London represented a perversion of Islam. Really? This again I have pointed out recently is untrue,the perpetrators represent the precise essence of what Islam actually is,a death centred cult.

You cannot fight what you do not understand and this willful refusal to recognise the facts that are in plain view is pathological and will lead to our ultimate defeat and destruction

Freedom V Democracy

Democracy is supposed to be about the small insignificant stuff. Big principles like freedom liberty, individual rights should not be up for grabs and determined by majority rule, to be voted away by the biggest gang, dignified by the word constituency. One's life and inalienably concomitant rights should not be up for public auction,sold off to the highest bidder. But they are and freedom and liberty is  consequently in mortal danger.

When was there last a debate about what the state should or should not be allowed to do.what's its proper role is, its limitations and scope? Absent such a debate authoritarianism has made great advances,unchecked by any counter argument,any call for restraint and delineation of the state's desired parameters. There is no end to people's demands and calls on the state to interfere and meddle with human activity,there is no limit to the reach of the unchecked state in pursuit of its ideological goals.

Such is the parlous state of today's political culture where all discourse is fed through the narrow prism of restricting liberties in pursuit of egalitarian goals.

Hence the dismal and dispiriting non debates of the present election where principles are absent and the candidates are vying for yet more control over their demoralised subjects and where one special interest group is cancelled out by a bigger one and all are left frustrated and impotent, dimly aware that they have been cheated, that their destinies and lives are not in their control but in the control of distant forces that patronise them every 5 years and inveigle them to vote against their own long term interests,sullied and tainted by a corrupt system that has robbed them of their personal autonomy, that they themselves have enabled and foolishly given their moral sanction.

Choose Your Mafia Gang

Voting for crime syndicates rather than political parties,this is what democracy has come to, pressure group warfare where voting becomes collusion with the kleptocratic state.

We laugh at the revolting French across the channel with their conflicting ideology of Liberte and Egalite but we have the precise same conflict over here and it has been resolved on the side of egalitarianism. Just pick your redistributor.

The Devil or the deep Blue Sea?

The only antidote to bad ideology is good ideology,not pragmatism as the tories believe. Of course their dogmatic pragmatism is an ideology anyway and their refusal to confront the bad ideology of Corbyn socialism,or even turn up for the debate could well come back to bite them at the election as they could be sleepwalking to defeat,hung parliament or the narrowest of majorities for their arrogance contempt and moral cowardice.

People are beginning to suspect that May does not believe in anything other than the exercise of power, that she is an empty vessel and her fear of debating with Corbyn is further proof that this is so. The fact that the country is confronted with the most extreme political ideologue in Corbyn since the post war Labour government and the tory party has nothing to say about it,no counter belief system,no philosophy is proof of its intellectual bankruptcy and unfitness to govern.

Yet those of us who fear we are staring into an abyss of Venezuelan proportions have no recourse but to vote tory to buy a stay of execution and live to fight another day.Such is the morass we are in.
