When will you awaken from your sleep of reason and see that the unfettered taxing State is the tyrant who would enslave you all!What will it take?The bonds of slavery are already fastened around you.The seductive voice of the enslaver State has lulled you into a comatose hypnosis proffering you welfare extracted from you in the first place.How stupid are you,how easily gulled,disarmed by the sophistry of tyrants who would give you everything and take everything to do it to feed the parasitic welfariat bred into existence with your hard earned money taken in taxes.You fools,you imbeciles credulous to the last,voting in another batch of tyrants who will take away your remaining freedoms whilst promising you the earth.How do they do it?By appealing to the most evil impulse in the human breast:the desire for the unearned.What is tyhe evil creed they use to disarm your opposition be there any? Altruism.Self sacrifice with its Christian Platonist roots.For centuries you have had it dinned into you.Sacrifice is the highest ideal,bare your neck to others needs and wants.To keep what is yours is evil,to give is good,the rich are evil the poor are good.Poverty is a virtue,wealth is the root of evil.Tax,tax,tax the rich till they squeal.Dare to achieve,aspire, become wealthy?Woe betide you,you will become hated,envied,lectured to,robbed stripped of your wealth to feed those who are too lazy to feed themselves and all in the name of the evil of altruism.This crime against humanity is committed under many names,Communism,Socialism,Fascism,Liberalism,Democracy,Conservatism but its goal is the same: to rule and enslave the minds of the creators and to bring into being a substrata of subhumanoids bred on welfare with a sense of entitlement hardwired into them represented by the power elite who promise them yet more of the unearned taking from the taxes of the few remaining producers who are stupid enough to carry on working under bondage.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-5416874268992246351?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/5416874268992246351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=5416874268992246351' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/5416874268992246351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/5416874268992246351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2012/01/power-to-tax-is-power-to-enslave.html' title='The Power To Tax Is The Power To Enslave'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-2725682780915171550</id><published>2011-12-10T07:53:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-10T08:19:39.173-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Democracy Stupid</title><content type='html'>It would be very hard for a man to argue that the world owed him a living.Even politicians would never come out with such a bald statement.In order to get away with such an obscene proposition the defender of such an untenable argument would have to deploy deliberately vague imprecise language with liberal helpings of euphemism and  obsfuscation.Ostensibly laudatory statements along the lines of 'no man should go hungry or be without shelter' would have to be put to service.Even better, hunger ignorance and want could be presented as enemies to be fought and overcome by the benevolent State which is exactly what was done at the inception of the welfare stte in 1945.Thus the wool is pulled over people's eyes and no one has to think about where the money for such noble aims is going to come from.An impersonal agent called 'the government' is somehow going to magic this money out of thin air and play santa claus to every bum who chooses not to work or provide for himself.Thus all anathema can be heaped upon the government for not providing enough or for being heartless in its meagre response to the needs of the indigent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No man would go to his neighbour and demand that he feed and shelter him,that indeed it is his duty to so do but he will vote for the politician who promises to take money from his neighbour in taxes to do just that.How can anyone doubt or question that such a system is depraved,corrupt and evil,that it robs people of their substance in the service of parasitism and mendicancy? Is it even possible to comprehend the state of moral depravity of the man who would make a career out of redistributing the money from the productive to the non productive and that a whole body of philosopy and politics could have been constructed to present such criminality as a moral ethical system and that if anyone demurs from such a view they would be castigagted as themselves being immoral and heartless?Such is the audacious achievement of the collectivists and socialists who now dare not speak their name and rather present themselves as social democrats or liberals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is this injustice to be properly challenged? Anyone who chooses to take on the collectivists would have to challenge the language they deploy and translate their true intent therby.No easy task...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-2725682780915171550?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/2725682780915171550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=2725682780915171550' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/2725682780915171550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/2725682780915171550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/12/it-would-be-very-hard-for-man-to-argue.html' title='Democracy Stupid'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-900008920662771747</id><published>2011-12-03T08:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-03T09:51:06.798-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cameronian Damascene Conversion To NHS?(unedited)</title><content type='html'>Had to be rushed to hospital 4 o clock in the morning Thursday with severe asthma attack.Did 10 rounds with it before throwing in the towel and calling for an ambulance.Haven't seen a doctor for twenty five years hardly ever been in a hospital,haven't taken any medication for 35 years so it was all a very strange surreal experience.Two very nice folk picked me up put me on their trolley in the ambulance and there proceeded a hair raising dash to the hospital seven miles away courtesy of the pretty female driver who took corners like==== leaving me nauseous and disoriented.'It was an interesting journey' I said sheepishly and was rolled down the gangway and into the hospital.A homosexual sounding and looking assistant with a cold proceeded to wire me up and inject me with various chemicals to some of which I objected namely antibiotics as I had an allergic reaction to one when visiting the dentist 25 years ago.The asian doctor was a bit taken aback by my refusal but accepted it with good grace albeit with what appeared to be amused bafflement.Then I refused a blood test because they would have to use a vein on my up turned wrist and I couldn't handle that.By this time I could see I was in danger of exasperating them so agreed to the blood test but the asian wearily said it did not matter and went off to consult with his fellow asian doctor both of whom were charming to a fault it has to be said.I could see them laughing together so they obviously thought they had a joker on their hands.I had a nebulizer in oxygen mask which stabilised my condition - the second, as I had had one in the ambulance so these guys had effectively saved my life.Wasn't it churlish then to be objecting to their ministrations having placed myself under their expert care?I did have pangs of guilt but at the end of the day the individual is sovereign and has to be able to choose what medicine he is being subjected to even if his choice is motivated by ignorance and an irrational fear of hospitals,doctors and medicine which I freely confess to. The aforementioned homosexual gives me six tablets to swallow with water  which I surprisingly take only to find out later they were steroids as they presented me with two boxes of them to take away with me and I get to read the side effects. If you take these pills you may want to commit suicide.If you stop taking them you may want to commit suicide.Thanks for telling me ahead of time docs.So I was then taken to the xray room.How can I say I do not want to be subjected to radiation thank you? At this point,it may well have been the proverbial straw so I submitted to the procedure, then am trundled through a deserted hospital ward and placed in a cubicle on a bed and asked if I want hospital pyjamas. I ask if it is optional, the aforementioneed homosexual says 'of course, it is not a prison' and leaves me to it.I have no sleep at all,it is 5am  and can just hear the staff's quiet considerate subdued conversation at the desk a few yards away. One of them is commenting on Jeremy Clarkson's observations of public sector workers going on strike and needless to say is not in agreement with his tirade to say the least.Lights come on at 8am,sleep deprived and dazed I spend the next 5 hours watching a procession of nurses doctors,orderlies file past through the corridor going about their respective tasks.A cleaner wipes the floor repeatedly every 20 minutes and the place is as clean as a whistle and you could eat your food off it.Everything works like clockwork,an athomosphere of quiet professional efficiency pervades the hospital and yes I am humbly impressed.One of the nurses is describing her union activities,marching with placards and the attention she got from the local media during the 'day of action'.She is clearly a bolshie because she goes on to explain how she is firing of emails to her superiors and getting back dusty answers with references to the objectional tone of her missives.About 10 o clock a dapper gentleman obviously the head doctor appears trailing behind him seven acolyte trainees in his wake who proceed to place themselves at the foot of my bed somewhat disconcertingly.Good God I say,is there anyone missing?The doctor goes over the events of the past few hours.'I understand you have gone back to childhood with this asthma which has appeared after a 35 year absence'.I try and pretend this is a private conversation averting my eyes from the assorted group and replying to his observations as best I can.I ask a few questions to make it look like I am reasonably intelligent and not intimidated by the occasion and after a few perfunctory comments they all troop out.Now with no sleep I am beginning to feel very frazzled.I hear a strangely familiar sound outside.Seagulls! I can just perceive sunlight through the frosted window.I want to go now.It has all been very interesting but I just want to get home.I can hear the conversation at the desk the hub of operations,where cases are being discussed it just all seems very professional and methodical and an amazing operational feat. As endles procession of staff pas back and forth I have the distinct feeling of having been left in Kafkaesque limbo.Finally I cannot handle it any more and stop a passing nurse and ask when I will be able to leave.She has buzzed the doctor and it will be just twenty minutes.Another nurse shows me how to use the equipment i have been furnished with,six different pills and paraphernalia.So what do I think of the NHS now?It was only a snapshot but I have to say all my comments up to now have been based on principles and theories but having now experience the NHS directly for the first time I am kind in awe of it and have a kind of respect for the institution as I have personally experienced it.It is not scientific,just my subjective take but I think it was fair and accurate.I still believe the whole thing would be better privatised,I could have bought those asthma inhalers at the local store and been spared all the rigmarole and bureaucratic runaround but as we are where we are and on its own terms I would still give it 10 out of 10.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I think it would be a very good idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why don't Conhome allow half of your posts? Can't handle the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does Izlam pose an existential threat to Civilization? You bet it does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When are you going to start your Capitalist movement? About 3 months ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the Occupy Capitalism movement gathering momentum? Total lack of any concerted rebuttal of its patent absurdities and toxic anti freedom message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What should be done about the BBC? It should be privatised,sold off of course preferably to Rupert Murdoch.Failing that - and no one hold their breath - there should be an organised non-payment of licence fee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you an extremist? Yes.I beleive everyone should be extremely good extremely  moral and extremely rational.Extremism is a measurement not a moral value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are people ready for unregulated laisez faire Capitalism? They better be. Freedom is not optional and cannot be put to the vote.Or you get Nazi Germany or Democracy which is mob rule by the ballot box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are Conservatives so morally weak,spineless, confused, irrational and contradictory? Glad you asked! They are all those things and more because they have no moral base,no rational moorings, no guiding principles or values.They are whim worshippers,subjectivists, pragmatist,traditionalist,tribalist,religious with vague inconsistent leanings towards Capitalism.All of which is why they were not able to oppose the construction of the Welfare State,The EU and now the global anti Capitalist movement.If you are waiting for them to put up a moral defence of Capitalism take to the hills and find a nice cave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do people have a right to self defence? Do you have to ask?! Of course.The Brits even have a Bill of Rights which clearly allows the bearing of arms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is taxation moral? Hell no.It is the most evil imposition of force against a defencelss population in the whole of human history.It is worse than cannibalism.At least cannibals wait till you are dead before eating you.Taxation is the devouring of man's substance whilst he is still alive.It is so monstrously evil and obscene that no man has ever justified it or even attempted to but has merely served up stale bromides in its defence which a three year old child could see through yet whole nations have been cowed by in the absence of any  moral consistent,coherent defence of liberty and freedom with the sole exception of Ayn Rand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are Conservatives worshippers of tradition? Because they are  tribalist.Collectivist in short.They believe in blood and race which makes them irrationalist and racist.They support rule by bloodline and birth ie monarchy,the divine right of kings, constitutional totalitarianism.Unless someone has been knighted and a sword placed on both shoulders he has no moral legitimacy to rule over his subjects,note subjects, not citizens.This is feudalism,mysticism, ancester worship,voodoo in ermine,ugly primitivism masquerading as civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there any hope for the human race? Could go either way.At present trends are not looking good.There is an intellectual moral vacuum and tribalistic yahoos and collectivists are filling the breach.The voices of opposition and reason are crowded out and marginalised in the mainstream media.The blogosphere and modern media are the only hope that things can be turned around.But the yahoos appear to have co opted those as well by default as the rational are too quiescent and unorganised.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-1151725356321714352?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/1151725356321714352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=1151725356321714352' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/1151725356321714352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/1151725356321714352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/11/interview-with-myself.html' title='An Interview With Myself'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-8619965739401223442</id><published>2011-11-13T03:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T04:02:00.815-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Harrison Mystical Materialist</title><content type='html'>Don't know what to make of the first half of the George Harrison Scorsece film last night.It was a bit of a muddle but I think that is his MO.Half the people who spoke I did not recognise because in order to distance himself from Run of the Mill documentarists Scor thinks it is  a cachet not to include their names.The only thing I was thinking last night was that the genius of the Beatles was obviously Paul.In five minutes or less I had counted 20 classic ballad tracks of his but when I tried to count lennon's contribution I was struggling after identifying just three. It has now been confirmed that Paul was the driver and had he not rallied the troops a good third of their recordings would never have seen the light of day as Lennon was notoriously lazy.There has been so much hype and idolatory surrounding Lennon,about he was the Beatles but there is no hard evidence to back this up.He made a right tit of himself in 69 with his bed in peace nonsense,got lost in avant garde excrement with Loco Ono,flirted with Janov Primal Scream and then retreated into pseudo domestic bliss whilst Loco built up the Lennon empire.As for Harrison he got lost up his own mystical fundament and started to preach religious mumbo jumbo after being slipped some acid by his dentist.They all trooped off to Maharashi but soon took flight after his charlatanism became obvious to everyone but George who by this time was set on a path of blisful inanition.He wrote a handful of cracking songs not least the iconic Taxman and was genial enough but definitely the third Beatle and hardly deserving of 4 hours on BBC2.It turns out as a footnote that when a mad assailant broke into his mansion and stabbed Harrison just missing his vital organs by inches instead of repelling the would be assassin Harrison sat there and chanted Hari Krishna whilst his long suffering American wife Oliva beat the attacker over the head with a lampshade thus saving George from certain death.You couldn't make it uo.Give Peace a Chance what?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all begs the question what makes certain celebrities embrace mysticism when they appear to have the world at their feet.I think it is misplaced guilt.We live in a culture that says money making is evil and to assuage this unearned guilt they retreat into the unreality of mysticism and merge into an unfocused induced trance-like state where guilts and neurosis are purged in an amnesiacal haze brought on my chanting into a hypnoidal state which is how Harrison describes the process in the Scorsese film.Yes he was an arch defender of property rights and opponent of taxation per se but his irrational unease with wealth led him to the unreason of mysticism as a refuge.This is where all the hypocrisy comes in.We now have an extremely wealthy man living in a mansion that most quotes ordinary people could not even imagine in their wildest dreams preaching to the world the virtues on non materialsm.A few miles down the road John Lennon is sitting in his mansion at a grand piano or was it Steinway? singing a song to us with the lyrics,Imagine no possessions.Clearly none of them did irony.The hangers on were too timid and self interested to point out the glaring contradictions.Both Beatles now literally had everything: their spiritual/materialist cake and could eat it too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brazen hypcocrisy is now common.The two Beatles were merely the trail blazers in it.Now we have to listen to lectures by millionaire rock stars on an almost daily basis on the the evils of capitalism. Must it not be intensely irritating to people who struggle to make ends meet to have to listen to the likes of George Harrison in his mansion telling themthat money is not important?It is also the height of irresponsibility as many impressionable people possible tens of thousands who knows? dropped out of the material world altotgether but unlkike Harrison did not have  a mansion to retreat into and ended up destitute on drugs and then dead.Some legacy George. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-8619965739401223442?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/8619965739401223442/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=8619965739401223442' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/8619965739401223442'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/8619965739401223442'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/11/harrison-tribute.html' title='Harrison Mystical Materialist'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-4907025428149593342</id><published>2011-11-13T03:24:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T03:35:14.300-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lest We Forget And Get A Life</title><content type='html'>Trying to forget it is Rememberance Sunday.Not very difficult really is it?!

The point is however that just because taxation stretches back into the mists of time and even Jesus Christ seemed to accept it morally does not mean it is moral or good.As well say human sacrifices go back thousands of years ergo they must be good.The argument from tradition is fallacious.If it were not one would have to accept cannibalsim as a moral system since it stretches back a long way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-7949159434632456064?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt=''

the writing in question completely failed to propose any coherent strategy to that end.It is futile in my opinion to expect the Conservatives to mount such a defence.They lack the philosophical consistency and rigour to do it.They pride themselves on their anti intellectualism and pragmatism.This is why over generations they have betrayed the cause of freedom and compromised with collectivist premises and policies all the way down the line from the construction of the Welfare State to the UK membership of the EU.Their tacit if not overt support of a 'constitutional' Monarchy is yet another indication of how they are not equipped to defend liberty and have no moral ground upon which to do it.Waiting for Conservatives to secure our liberty agsainst a predaTory illiberal State  will be a truly Becketian excercise of delusional and groundless wishful thinking escalating to Dizzying levels of Kafkaesque futility.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

type='text'>Who Will Defend Liberty?</title><content type='html'>It is not fair to expect producers and business people to be on the frontline in defending the right to keep the fruits of their labour for this reason.Producers and businessmen spend all their time pursuing their goals and objectives and do not necessarily have the tools and knowledge to argue philosophically against the State's predatory and illegitimate claims on their productive labour through taxation.Just because someone is a very sucessful businessman does not mean he or she will be able or willing to articulate a coherent defence of property rights from an anti taxation position.That takes an acquisition of knowledge and great familiarity with the arguments against egalitarianism and this is not something necessarily the business world is cognizant of, familiar with or equipped to articulate.Businessmen are not ipso facto qualified to give an intellectual defence of freedom.That is the job for intellectuals and activists,writers,bloggers,indeed anyone who is prepared to enter the fray and campaign for liberty.It would be nice if they were as their contribution to the battle would have extra ballast and weight simply because they would be speaking from a position of direct knowledge and experience of the productive wealth acquisition principle but we cannot expect them to be experts in the defence thereof.The greatest defenders of liberty have been profesional writers and thinkers, not entrepreneurs.This is because writing is a profession in itself and a comletely different discipline from trade and business and an ability in one does not necessarily imply and ability in the other.The downside of this reality is that such intellectual defenders of liberty can be dismissed as mere armchair theorists and ivory tower intellectuals although the Left are quite happy to quote verse and chapter from the quitessential armchair theorist Marx who apparently never set foot inside a factory and spent most of his life in the British library! In his defence at least the latter did not rely on State handouts but instead the patient financial assistance of Engels albeit with rich irony with money sourced from the Capitalist system he sought to destroy, but I digress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of the above however is to excuse the craven capitulation of the business class to the anti capitalist sentiment abroad,the grovelling apologetic defence of Capitalism,the half hearted support of it, the damning it with faint praise, the obscene defence of it on altruistic grounds of all things.If business men cannot defend Capitalism properly they would do better to say nothing at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until I understood the above regarding defence of Capitalism as a job for profesional writers and thinkers etc I was prone to get very annoyed with the so-called business community but I think I maligned them albeit unwittingly here.The one group of people I will not forgive however and who deserve the greates obloquoy is the so- called defenders of Capitalism ie the Conservatives.They have done more to betray our liberty and freedom in the last 200 years than any other group including the Socialists and the Labour Party.Their crime is unforgiveable because it is their job for which are paid out of the public purse to defend our freedoms and they have done more to destroy them as I say than any other group, political orgnisation and movement throughout history.Why do I say this? Well everyone knows the Socialists hate freedom and liberty and Capitalism and they only pretend to favour it if pushed but the Conservatives are supposed to be the defenders of Capitalism and their betrayal of it is so complete,absolute,comprehensive and total that no one could possibly claim that it is accidental or caused by some misunderstandng of the principles of Capitalism.It is deliberate and intentional.No mistake over such a wide span of generations and time could possibly be accidental.They know exactly what they are doing.It is systematic and conscious.To vote for them after such knowledge is to participate in one's own destruction and is an act of self immolation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here to interject a small but not insignificant point.I do not seek to decry intellectuals but only to point out that at least inthe UK there is a deep seated distrust of them particularly from the Right. The writer Anthony Burgess used to decry British mistrust of intellectuals and I know it has a long history but more recent times and events have given it momentum and a patina of justification.Conservatives sometimes appear militantly anti intellectual and I think this is because of recent history re intellectuals and how it lead to the bloodbaths of the 20th century via Communism and Socialism and Fascism which of course are all variants of collectivism as much as the Left seeks to distance itself from Fascism and purports to be its greatest enemy.Hitler lest anyone needs reminding called his party National Socialist.How the Left resent this being  pointed out to them which is the very reason why it should be,regularly!So because of this lamentable record of intellectuals siding with totalitarian concepts the Right Conservatives wrongly concluded that they should abandon the field of intellectualism entirely which has only led to the Left by default, holding complete hegemony over it in all our institutions of learning and media.But the point is this,intellectual promulgation of ideas is work,productive activity if it takes the form of books written and sold,dvd broadcast and diseminated etc.Intellectual property is as valid as any other and should not be decried or apoloogised for.It is the food and ammuniton for the public and as such is essential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to conclude who should we go to for an unbreached intellectual philosophical comprehensive defence of liberty and Capitalism? There is only one writer I could in all honesty recommend and that is Ayn Rand.I am very familiar with her writings but would not in any way pretend to be in the same stratosphere as her in any way shape or form and and consider myself as nothing more than a pedestrian student of her work.There may be other defenders but I have never come across them.Ludvig von mises has given a partial defence of Capitalism.Frederik Basiat is a brilliant essayist and satirist of collectivist thinking  but for a complete,closed universalist philosophical system comprehensively supported by rational argument  no one has come close to Ayn Rand.It is to her writings alone I would direct any students of Capitalism.Even if afterwards people choose to dismiss her arguments they cannot really  argue agsinst Capitalism without first familiarising themselves with its most brilliant and uncompromising defender.( please forgive appalling grammatical and spelling errors,they will be corrected in due course, or at least those I identify!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-6938105762089019010?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/6938105762089019010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=6938105762089019010' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/6938105762089019010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/6938105762089019010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/11/who-will-defend-liberty.html' title='Who Will Defend Liberty?'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-8044047778384452279</id><published>2011-11-12T06:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T07:45:44.317-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Freedom - If You Want It</title><content type='html'>The 19th century writer Henry David Thoreau went to jail for not paying his taxes and wrote an essay about it entitled On Civil Disobedience.I hold no brief for him from a philosophical standpoint as his writing spawned the environmentalist movement of the 20 and 21st century but he is an interesting though sadly rare example of someone who understood the essential tyranny of taxation and the implicit violation of liberty it entails.Precious few others have taken a stand.Indirectly we have to come up to the present day almost with Ken Dodd who simply did not file his tax returns but he did not explicity consciously stand on principle in so doing although his comments suggested that he understood the prevailing evil of the system when he remarked that he kept his money around his house because he thought society was going to collapse in the 70s and he needed to take precautions against such a calamitious eventuality. He was spared jail only because he was practically universally loved as a national treasure and comic genius adding immeasurably to the joy of nations and the tyranical State dared not risk the wrath of the people by incarcerating him and therby possibly precipitating a mass revolt against such a tyranical tax system.Lester Pigott on the other hand being a less sympathetic character faced the full rigor of the law's wrath and was promptly jailed for similar act of 'tax evasion'.The State is sinuous and serpentine in its carefully selective deprivations of people's liberty.Other than that no other high profile case springs to mind although Phillip Green's heroic avoidance of tax has to be commended alongside Vodafone's.To be fair however, there are perhaps many more such fine examples except that I do not have further details myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next time I will discuss  how such abovementioned examples could be utilised into a more general and systematic mass resistance programme against the bully looter State.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-8044047778384452279?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/8044047778384452279/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=8044047778384452279' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/8044047778384452279'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/8044047778384452279'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/11/freedom-if-you-want-it.html' title='Freedom - If You Want It'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-8593539280933846560</id><published>2011-11-12T06:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T06:24:37.233-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Reflections On The Capitalist Revolution</title><content type='html'>Without wanting to be a Pain or a Burk it has to be said, a strong coffee does spur the Capitalist revolutionary impulse.All things become possible for the duration.Not that I am a hot head.I understand the Marxist thing about the long march through the institutions.But last night I was a thinking.If someone is mugging you and demanding your worldy goods (not that there are any other sort I might add) do your really have to launch into a philosophical discussion with him about the evil of plunder and the instigation of force against another to apropriate his or her wealth,or do you just hit him over the head with a blunt instrument? This is where I depart some what from the Randian Objectivists.I ask them, if the State is mugging you every day and looting your property do we really have to engage in a generation long philosophical re education programme to convince everyone that looting whether it be done by individuals or the State against others is immoral and evil,or do we just resist the State in a massive civil 'disobedience' non-compliance campaign?

A bewildering cascade and melange of disconnected arbitrary  facts and figures are put to service to illustrate the fiendish plots of these putative Masters of the Universe and no scenario however preposterous is excluded from the dogs dinner of conspiracies be it 9\11,Apollo landings ('supposed'!) ad nauseam.Of course a degree of plausibilty is required to make the conspiracy theory medicine go down so interpolated with the more wild and outlandish crackerbarrel UFO storiies and elaborate concoctions there is a smattering and verisimiltude of truth,eg,the idea that the push to a One World order either through the EU or UN has a genuine internal logic to it.There are those be they Al Gore with his climate change propaganda (which the Conspiracy theorists funnily enough oppose) who do want to enslave us with their Big Government solutions.Herin lies the bait for the unwary for by inserting some truths into their narrative the conspiracy theorists manage to  ensnare some genuinely enquiring minds into embracing the theories lock stock and barrel and we end up with the absurd scenario described to me by a friend who when challenging the ridiculous theories embraced by an associate was met with the asinine retort:'why wouldn't David Icke be telling the truth'? (As well go into a lunatic asylum and attempt to convince the inmates that they are not really Napoleon!)And here we come to the issue of what happens when the conspiracy theorisits are challenged.They invariable become defensive and abusive to their detractors.We have been brainwashed by the media,we are too stupid to see what is going on, television has robbed us of our critical faculties, we are not part of the elite initiated who know what is going on,we are basically dupes of 'the system'.It becomes clear that one is confronting the belief system that is every bit as immune to logic and reason as the most primitive hysterical hidebound religious zealot and bigot.Unbeleivers are treated to an admixture of ad hominem abuse pity and contempt in equal measure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a political and ideological base to the conspiracy theorists agendas that becomes discernible fairly early on into any examination of their programmes and broadcasts albeit allowing for some notable and exceptions to the general rule but these are by their very nature unrepresentative and marginal and so can be dismissed as they go against the general trend which can only be categorised as pro Left and anti Capitalist.(A good - or bad example of this is Max Keiser on RT although I am really intending to concentrate predominantly here on TV chanels such as Edge Media and PSTV so will perhaps return to Keiser later on).to be cont&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

philosophical roots of altruism.The Left and the Church are in ideological lockstep and the absurdist theatre they have indulged in in the last few weeks illustrates this.The BBC has treated this incident from the start as occupiers good,Church bad but in reality they are both on the same side of evil.No one has pointed out that the occupiers are immoral scumbags using force aggression and intimidation to trespass on church property notwithstnding the Church's appeasement and craven capitulation to their tyranical bullying antics.This occupation is standard Leftist intimidation behaviour but it is presented by the BBC as highly moral and principled.In the morally inverted world of the BBC evil is the highest good and is to be defended and championed in a brazen disregard for truth and objective reporting.Using force to occupy property that does not belong to them the only recourse possible and the moral imperative is for the occupiers to be removed by force.Because the Church loves to appease evil this it will not do hence its moral depravity and ethical delinquency.It stands condemned as an evil institution beyond all hope,cast adrift in a moral inverted universe where good is bad and bad is good.It hypocriticaly has economic ties with the City but then decries the very institution by which it is able to flourish.The Church is a corrupt morally bankrupt institution and as such is the perfect location for the evil Leftist rabble who have gathered on its purlieus.They truly do deserve one another.A plague on both their rotten houses.&lt;div

type='text'>Welfare Straits</title><content type='html'>The global economic crisis will not bring about the collapse of Capitalism as there are no Capitalist countries today.But it will bring about the end of Welfare States as put simply, there is no money left.An end to welfare,the dream of Capitalists now looks close to becoming a reality.Welfare is approaching its 1989 moment.Countries across the world are etiolating their State power,cutting back on government programmes and as much as some of the inhabitants march and protest and 'occupy' this trend will not be reversed.Global max-out of State credit cards can mean only one thing,a contraction of State powers,a moving towards defacto Capitalism.The only alternative is a shift to totalitarian government and most people have no appetite for that,even lovers of State largesse entitlement programmes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advocates of unregulated laissez faire capitalism will be in the ascendancy if they seize the day and push home their advantage by delineating the parameters of State power,arguing for individual rights,phasing out of government programmes,across the board privatisations of all extant State bodies that do not fall under the essential role of the State such as armed forces,police and law courts.The economic arguments however will not suffice without a moral argument for Capitalism as people are not swayed by implacable logic so much as by moral ethical arguments and it is in this field that so called defenders of Capitalism have been so woefully and pitifully inadequate not to say delinquent.Once again it is the Conservatives who have been largely  responsible for damning capitalism with faint praise,apologising for it,attempting to sneak in capitalism lite through the back door,watering down and emasculating it with hamstringing regulations and qualifications,in effect sabotaging it by contaminating and corrupting it with mixed economy policies thus discrediting the very thing they claim to advocate ie Capitalism.This then gives ammunition to the anti Capitalists who say it does not work.As most people have no idea what capitalism actually is -and believe absurdly  that it means welfare and taxation - this is a successful gambit by capitalism's enemies.A little basic eduacation would explain that Capitalism is not about regulation,taxation,government picking winners,red tape,bureaucracy,quangoes and that all such things are the antithesis of Capitalism.But this alone will not suffice as it is in the realm of morality and ethics that as I have said, Capitalism needs to be explained and defended.Without this moral ethical philosophical foundation there will be no sea change in the public mind regarding capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Testimony to the truth that it is not economics that move and inform people's judgements but ethics and morality is the continued popularity in spite of all the economic arguments against it of Statism,welfare and Socialism.People want to believe that they are on the side of the angels,the good guys,the little man and Socialism has been so good at convincing people that it holds the moral high ground that it has managed to carry the day in the face of all the evidence to the contrary that it only delivers poverty crime,moral squalor,dependency, depradation,unemployment over-regulated markets,brain drain,global welfare dependency as peoples flood in from all over the world to batten on to the handout society funded by British taxpayers.In the face of all these self evidencies about the consequences of Socialism Conservatives are weak, vacillating,timorous and apologetic and effectively silent about Capitalism's virtues.In this moral vacuum the Socialists and Statists step in have carte blanche,occupying the moral highground entirely by default.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we can see that it is in the realm of morality that Capitalism needs to be defended.Why it is the moral system.That will be my next post -unless something interrupts it first asnd I will return in due course to this central issue.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>How To Stem The Anti Capitalist Tsunami</title><content type='html'>Stop apologising for others sins! That is Capitalism's greatest fault.It takes on the sins of the world like a biblical sin eater.I know people who do this.They apologise for their existence.They assume others guilt.I had to speak to my neice about this recently.She thinks if people dislike her it must be her fault and she is doing something wrong.I had to explain that this is far from being always so.How about the Bush haters/ The Christ haters? Even taking it on a story level it illustrates the point ie people hated this guy because he was good.Hatred of the good for being the good as someone once put it as being their working definition of envy and I think, a very good one.Good people hate bad people. Translated into the current occupy protests the logic is played out thus:Communists Socialists city occupiers hate Capitalism, ergo Capitalism must be bad and evil and it must apologise to its detractors.You acquiesce in the narrative and agendas of your enemy.You are on the back foot.You now start cravenly apologising for your virtues.Conservatism anyone?They specialise in this self loathing.They cravenly truckle to the anti Capitalist forces, insisting on watering down the mixed economy with even further regulations,bureaucracy,closing down of tax loopholes,castigating the producers excesses,apologising for Capitalism's achievements.If you dare to be a whiole hearted supporter of Capitalism they sneer that you are an ideological purist and say that you are no better than the absolutist Stalinists.In effect they are saying,you claim 1 and 1 is two.This is extremism.You must compromise and say it is 3.If you do not that makes you as bad as the 1 and 1 is 5 Stalinists.How can you reason with such crackerbarrel illogic?But I digress.(Or do I?!) So we have Capitalism apologising to its enemies.What impression does this create in the wider public?That Capitalism is guilty.That it must be muzzled.That is exactly what is happening.Right in front of our eyes,like a sleight of hand we are buying into this anti Capitalist agenda and there are now policies afoot that will snuff out the last remaining freedoms we do have and another lurch to the Left with illiberal programmes which will end with our complete subordination and enslavement to the State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how do we counter this dynamic? We need to recognise the game that is being played.Someone called it winning through intimidation.The Left is all about violence,agression,intimidation.Look at its tactics.Look at its language.Occupy.It is about then use of force for political ends. It conflates economic power with political power.If you are rich you must be powerful and ergo dangerous and your power ie money must be taken from you.It completely blanks out how that money was acquired adopting the Balzacian Marxist line that behind all great fortune lies crime.The smear campaign against capitalism is as viral as it is malicious.It is a trojan.The bailouts have complicated the issue somewhat as the occupiers are protesting also about corporate welfare and in this alone they are correct.There should have been no bailouts.But they are using this as a pretext to muzzle freedom and nationalise the banks thus totally socialising the economy leading to the inevitable communist conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To conclude, Capitalism's virtues but be heralded.It must be defended.The forces of darkness are gathering.Global Marxist Jihad is on the march.The anti Capitalist foot soldiers have breached the citie's defences.The forces of freedom must be gathered,the battle for our future must be joined.If not we could be looking at another feudalist back to the future lurch, a barbaric atavistic return to  subsistence and penury a, post industrial wasteland of totalitarian proportions, another pre capitalist dark ages where tribalist yahoos tyranise with licence roaming the earth, plundering and looting at will, seeking who they may devour and good men hide in caves.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-8915850266091536711?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt=''

against them.Of course the hypocrisy of the church and its own Capitalist base was soon exposed and we know that even religion peddlars cannot live by their own preachments but the fact remains these

Only half the comments I post see the light of day as they seem to be very sensitive to criticism and can only take so much.They are quite happy to let left wing people post however so I leave others to draw their own conclusions on that one.I should not be surprised at this I suppose but I am for several reasons.The level of incomprehension I meet with is quite shocking.I am accused of being Stalinist, an SWP mole trying to discredit Capitalism! I will leave that job to the Conservatives as they are past masters at that.My Conservative critics have far more in common with Stalin than I do as many support socialised health care,redistribution of wealth, the welfare state.I can only conclude that this ignorami are products of the State education system and have had all the common sense and intelligence bred out of them courtesy of UK Socialist indoctrination from birth.They are prone to projection accusing me of the very things they are guilty of.Ad hominem assaults and abuse are all they have as obviously there have no arguments against my position.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-6620499517055481064?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/6620499517055481064/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=6620499517055481064' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/6620499517055481064'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/6620499517055481064'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/10/answering-my-conservative-critics.html' title='Answering My Conservative Critics'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-1082540480663775859</id><published>2011-10-28T02:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T10:00:36.841-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Conservatism.

type='text'>Michael Moore Fat Bloated Capitalist Hypocrite</title><content type='html'>Jabber the Hut Michael Moore gets the easiest ride on the MSM since that other arch faker and blowhard Lord Tony Benn.When this Capitalist pig Moore graces the stations studios a hallow hovering over him,the interviewers speak in hushed reverential tones as they gently direct their softball questions to him which is his cue to launch into his tedious rambling monologues replete with wild generalisations devoid of facts or substantiation, tumbling forth like a torrent of verbal sewage.No probing questions,no challenge to his absurd assertions.This is a religious experience not an interview.Mr Moore is now sanctified by the MSM.To question this absurd hypocritical jackass would constitute a liberal heresy.The world according to Moore is so morally inverted and distorted so shot full of logical holes and ridiculous non sequitirs, a mind-numbing serving of hare brained ratiocinations,that one emerges from this miasma of absurdity as if from a drunken spree.This Tony Benn with a baseball hat, hypocrite of the lowest order,a multi millionaire pretending to be an ordinary working stiff standing up for the beleagurered proles and organising a global Communist revolution, pandered to by a craven MSM not even pretending to conceal its liberal partisan Leftist bias should serve as a reminder that we are in an age of mass credulity,a flight of reason and given to the irrational worshipping of cretinous idiots with the iq and common sense of an amobea.&lt;div

type='text'>Capitalist Party Manifesto</title><content type='html'>Death Penalty for murder.If you take a life you forfeit your own.Murder has gone up exponentially since the death penalty was abolished.Everyone was shocked by the Moors murders because it was so rare.Now it happens every other day.Murderers know they can quite literally get away with murder.Let them know this will no longer be the case.A life for a life is the only justice.Travesty of justice is what we have now.No deterrent but rewards are now offered in our jails for psychopaths whose only real and deserving place is six foot under.The liberal experiment of 5o years has left a trail of carnage and innocent dead bodies that cry up to heaven for restitution.Return of the death penalty will be a return to sanity and justice and it cannot come a day too soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Banning of Public Sector Unions.The Unions represent organised crime at its most vicious and tyranical because it has the power and the sanction of the State behind it.The Mafia are seen as outlaws at least but the Unions conversely are seen as honourable institutions when in fact they are just a bunch of bullying thugs who periodicaly hold the country to ransom with their criminal and extortionate demands acquired with the active connivance of the State and the Labour party who are payrolled by the Unions to do their biidding in the form of legislation giving them criminal immunity and defacto monopoly of Health Education and Public services,furnishing them with gold plated pensions,early retirement in the most corrupt Socialist cronyist stitchhups period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UK withdrawal from the EU. The greatest betrayal of modern times was the Conservatives taking UK into the EU.The arguments against the very existence of the EU do need to be rehearsed here.It is a national pastime for us and much good it has done us debating away whilst they incrementally rob us of our freedoms which the forefathers of our country laid down their lives to defend.Enough already.We must unceremoniously leave the EU and do everything in our power to destroy it politically and if it threatens us in anyway, militarily as well which is why we need to maitain our nuclear deterrence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Privatisation of the Welfare State.Private insurance should replace welfare.We have house,car, life insurance.Just add health and unemployment to those.Not rocket science.Schools should all be privatised.Education and health are not a right.There is only the right to pursue values such as health and education with one's own resources,not one's neighbour's.A person's need is not a claim on another person's life.Its time to grow up and stop whining about the State providing us with our every need.That is how we got into this mess.It took our money,created a monopoly and then failed to provide us with the service.Result? Hundreds of thousands killed by the Sovietised NHS and the same amount of children robbed of a future by Socialist Marxist change agent teachers deliberately mis educating countless generations leaving them defenceless in a world that has passed them by as they languish on the scrap heap created for them by the parastic tenured radicals we miscall teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An end to the mixed economy.No more crony Capitalism.No more bank bailouts.No more picking winners and favourites and subsidising non productive businesses which would not survive without corporate welfare infusions from the State.Away with Red tape,regulations,watchdogs,quangoes and ergo the corrupt,criminal evil lobby system will melt away like a snowflake in hell.No taxation of enterprise and business.Abolition of income tax,corporation tax,capital gains tax,business rates ad nauseam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zero tolerance of Islam and the outrageous imposition of Sharia law in the UK.A strict monitoring of mosques,a curb on new construction of same,banning of burqahs in public places.No laws curbing free speech and so called anti hate speech laws forbidding the giving of offence to religions of whatever stripe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Privatisation of roads,streets,pavements.All public protests would only take place at the say so of the owners of streets thus ending the ambiguity over public spaces that belong to everybody and nobody.Henceforth the only place people will be able to protest is on their own property or with the approval of the owners of streets.This will en all the opportunities for riots,sit-ins occupations that have so bedevilled our recent times and allowed anti freedom groups to intimidate,terrorise and deploy force to impose their illiberal agendas with their puerile squatting and trespassing tactics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End of State support of Arts.Good art will out.Bad Art needs a subsidy.Not in a free country.The people can choose what art to patronise,not the State who will wield influence to subsidise bad art with a political message they are sympathetic to,which is the kind of thing one usually associates with totalitarian States.A Minister for culture should make any freedom loving person recoil in horror at the very idea.Away with this sinister encroachment on free expression.And away too with State involvement and subsidy of sport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abolition of Human Rights Act&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abolition of Foreign Aid.This obscenity is unspeakable in its evil and immorality.The Welfare State decimates our country so we say,lets spread across the world,see what other nations we can corrupt and demoralise with unearned handouts.It has worked so well here hasn't it?We pay bums in the UK and now we pay bums across the globe.Enough.No more.Not a penny more.Let them all rot,or more likely pick themselves up by their bootstraps and sort out their own problems.We can only harm and cripple them with our giving.Besides it is not our money to give away. It belongs to the people.This orgy of vicarious philanthropy has to stop.Now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legalisation of drugs.This includes prescription drugs made available on the high street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NHS privatisation.An end to socialised medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abolition of monarchy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

pathetic anti Capitalist absurdist encampment in the heart of London.Indulging in some cheap gesture politics of their own the church initially sided with the bums but as soon as it became apparent that their ever expanding lodgement was interfering with their operations (not least monetary ones) they have volte faced and asked them to leave.Unsurprisingly the moronic protesors are bemused by this about turn and are refusing to go.What a delightful spectacle gentle readers for our enjoyment and perhaps we can speak as one when we say 'a plague on both your houses'.Lesson to the church.If

students.He is taller than I thought but every bit as weird looking as his brother.At one point when he was stationary and talking to the public he had his foot pointed downwards to the pavement like a ballerina and I wish I had had a body language expert to tell me what that signified.Smartly besuited he looked like a popinjay, a dandy of the underworld and as his pathetic acolytes followed him round town they stopped and congregated just next to the preacher stand I referred to in my previous post.How appropriate: two religions, Christianity and Socialism coming together in a theatre of the absurd.What is this man's game anyway? He is out of power but somehow the residue of power still clings to him.People stop in the street to gawp at him including myself of course but then they also stop and gawp at the a ridiculous juggler who drops all his batons.I think it is power worship.The Blair government was that alone and Milliband played his part in that weird era of smoke and mirrors, that low decade of moral and political depradation and depravity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-8302526700327979309?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/8302526700327979309/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=8302526700327979309' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/8302526700327979309'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/8302526700327979309'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/10/in-town-yesterday-came-across-david.html' title='Brothers Grim and divers Fairy Tales'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-725916377937437133</id><published>2011-10-13T11:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-13T11:58:35.823-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Religion And Its Malcontents</title><content type='html'>Altercation with street preacher blocking the pass outside Macdonalds with his blackboard and gibberish.Told him his religion was bunk.He had to ask me 'is what' and I repeated it.Bunk I said.Then he pointed at me and said are you saying you know better than Him?

To mix metaphors, all the world's leaders are running around like headless chickens but it is almost risibly obvious that they haven't got a clucking clue.Commentators are also in the dark and can only muster tired bromides about leaders lacking 'political will' to do anything.An intellectual paralysis has set in,the mixed economy is twitching like a recently deceased chicken(again) but all the leaders are saying its not dead it just needs another dose of quantitative easing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pathology of denial is endemic across the board.No one is saying it: the mixed economy is going through its death throes.No amount of stimulus will save it, no pumping it with money hot off the over used printing press will help, we have a profound implosion of an intellectual fraud,a Ponzi scheme so large it is invisible but nevertheless deadly.The failure is a philosophical one, an abandonment of reason and the results are as inevitable as they are are catastrophic.The mixed economy wherin Socialism is fused with Capitalism is such a hideous intellectually schizophrenic anti concept that the consequences flowing from such an absurdity could only ever have been as they indeed are , namely political  chaos and economic ruin.We have sown the mixed economy wind and we have reaped the mixed economy whirlwind: bankruptcy,fraud,wholesale larceny,cronyism,corporate welfare fascism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having created this chaos deliberately the architects will now step forward and declare that the cure for this moral philosophical intellectual collapse is more of the same,more Statism,more Government, more Socialism,more taxes.The pathology of their denial and mendacity is bottomless.The world's media feeds this insane crackerbarrel rationalisation back to us in its incessant range of the moment commentary,obsessed with the minutaie of the calamity but never exploring its roots,the intellectual breach that has led us to the brink of extinction economically and politically. Like a mental psychotic lost in his own twilight world of subjectivist delusion the global mixed economy axis can only mutter incoherently to itself,chanting mindless mantras of denial crying out for more medication, more stimulus,more debt drugs,more deficit spending,more government,more programmes and it descends remorselessly into catatonic paralysis and political dementia.The mixed economy can only mutter alzheimically now as it disappears up its own sorry fundament and we are left to survey the desolation before us and stare off into the shadowy hinterlands that was once our future.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-451242403696436207?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/451242403696436207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=451242403696436207' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/451242403696436207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/451242403696436207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2011/09/global-mixed-economy-crisis.html' title='Global Mixed Economy Crisis'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-6865774190220892512</id><published>2011-09-21T12:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-21T12:45:28.246-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hiway Niconoclast Revisited:  A Self Critique</title><content type='html'>Looking back in languor at my blog over time I have to admit the tone has seemed implacably rancourous and splenetic with some of the views expressed not those I frankly share now.The writing is overwrought and verbose so in both style and content there is much I would now edit away or radically prune and excise but then it is the raw material of what was felt at the time so why indulge in palimpestic revisionism but rather see it as a sort of journey towards the light with lots of faltering steps,excursions into blind alleys and downright erroneous assumptions in   liberal proportions before the destination of truth is arrived at or approximations therof.Let my critics if there be any point to past errors and point out my extravagancies hyperbolic licences and seeming inconsistencies and dwell in the past if they so choose.I shall leave all my glaring errors to the judgemnt of posteriority and embrace the now and the battle for clarity of expression and meaning.

type='text'>Taxation Is Slavery</title><content type='html'>Taxation is the use of force by the State against a defenceless populace to deprive it of its property.It is an act of theft and should not be sanctioned or rationalised away by eupehemisms or evasions.The State's sole function is to protect individual rights not to violate them by arbitrary dictat and appropriation of private property in the name of some subjectivist mushy non defined 'public good'.Any country that practises such larceny is violating the liberty of its citizens and is rightly speaking Communist and totally without moral legitimacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The argument for taxation is couched in deliberately vague terms,words such as 'fairness' are deployed, tired phrases such as 'those with the broadest shoulders should bear the most',(shades of Animal Farm) and bizarre comments such as the rich will not down tools because the highest earners are compulsive entrepreneurs who cannot stop working even if they tried with the obvious implication that therfor they can be taxed with impunity.The tax mongers have become so mad and arrogant with power that they do not feel the need to even disguise their naked wealth grab and are brazen in their contempt for such pesky little matters as property rights,liberty and the individual rights of the wealth creators.They have sussed the zeitegeist and know that they can stick it to the rich and be respected for it by the non productive envy ridden mediocrities who are the liberal's natural voting clientiele.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once it becomes clear in the public mind that taxation is indeed theft no matter how many euphemisms are deployed and layered upon it to disguise the fact,then taxation will no longer be tolerated and no governement that tried to impose it would be given the time of day.We have a distance to travel before we reach that destination but it can be done if presented in clear terms and explained in such a way that the big lie of taxation is exposed and the elaborate obsfuscation painstakingly constructed around it is stripped away to reveal the nasty little secret of the great tax con.&lt;div

But when all the ratiocinations are stripped away is this not what the criminal does to rationalise his actions?

He complains about their anonymity and thinks this contributes to the coarse and vituperative dialogue on the net.Perhaps he wants them to identify themselves so th thought police can come round and arrest them for thoughtcrime? They are anonymous because like samizdat the net provides a forum for people who cannot speak openly in public without the BBC like forces of political correctness, of which Marr is an obscene specimen,attempting to circumscribe their freedom of speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sheer chutzpah of Marr and his ilk is breathtaking. The BBC has virtual hegemony of the airwaves and does so by compulsion by the State. The British people are forced to finance the corporation if they want to own a TV on pain of imprisonment. But this is not enough for Marr it would seem. He wants to put a stop to all the independent expressions of thought not officially sanctioned by the State.It is worth paying attention to Marr because in his person we see the soul of the liberal fascist laid bare.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-1620214659849920998?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt=''

were of voting age in 1945 and so the very idea of freedom and liberty is foreign to the post war generation.This is why the near hysteria that erupts if you dare to venture that the Welfare State should be abandoned.It is akin to questioning apple pie and motherhood -or the British equivalent.You are howled down.We msut have this debate regardless!We must not be bamboozled into silence.There is too much as stake to simply cower apologetically for the sin of believing in freedom and a limited state which is its sine qua non.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The extent to which the Conservatives have sold the pass to liberalism is scary.Statism has gained such an ascendancy over their minds that whatever defence of freedom they can muster is feeble, half hearted, mealy mouthed and reeks of insincerity.When freedom and individual rights are damned with such faint praise it is small wonder that no one rallies to the Conservative flag and even in the light of the catastrophic Labour legacy

If we mustplay the blame game at least lay it where it belongs -firmly and squarely with Government for letting the banks know they would receive a bailout if they failed which of course is exactly what happened.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-7005875783271148877?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/7005875783271148877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=7005875783271148877' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/7005875783271148877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/7005875783271148877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2010/10/banking-on-bailout.html' title='Banking On A Bailout'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-5397010217431597166</id><published>2010-10-09T06:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-09T07:14:53.658-07:00</updated><title type='text'>America,Prohibition Drug War Folly</title><content type='html'>I am a great fan of America but it shocks me that it can lock up so many of its citizens for drug possession and prostitution.That a country born in freedom could end up seeking to police people's souls and dictate what they can and cannot ingest is troubling.If we believe in a limited State we must be consistent and not then seek to wage war on people's choices however dumb they may be. It is for this reason that I think the war on drugs is insane,illiberal and a criminal waste of taxpayers money.There is so much hypocrisy too in that alcohol and legal drugs abound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prostitution may well be abhorrent but again the hypocrisy abounds.Marriage could be seen as glorified prostitution.The man brings home the bacon and the women provides sexual services. There is a financial element to marriage as testified by the legal alimony battles during divorce proceedings.It is not the role of the state to make people moral.Let each man work out his own salvation in fear and trembling (as the good book sayeth!).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-5397010217431597166?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/5397010217431597166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=5397010217431597166' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/5397010217431597166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/5397010217431597166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2010/10/americaprohibition-drug-war-folly.html' title='America,Prohibition Drug War Folly'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-5814052734549377580</id><published>2010-10-09T05:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-09T06:08:59.505-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Bible and Other Fairy Tales</title><content type='html'>Human imagination is limitless.Millions if not billions of books have been written,works of the imagination.The Lord of the Rings,Harry Potter, the Bible.Is it just another fairy tale? It was written by human beings and we know how it is human to make things up. Yes,God is supposed to have infused them with the words but I could make up a story and say it was dictated by God.Why should we take such things on trust?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religious people have left a trail of havoc and oceans of blood through the centuries.I think a large dose of cynicism is in order.Scott Peck thinks most religious beliefs are neurotically determined and he could be right.Most religious people I know are nincompoops.Even Roy Masters sounds kooky to me these days.He claims you can find God in physics but I find most of what he says incoherent gibberish.If we can find God in physics why do we need faith?Does that not undercut the whole belief thing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There should be a separation of school and State.These government tax funded faith schools are troubling.I do not want to subsidise mad mullah Muslim schools or any other religious ones for that matter.Have we not got religion to blame for Communism and Socialism? The idea that we are our brother's keeper informs the Left thinking and from which was forged the Welfare State -which was even called the New Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we examine God objectively he is not avery sympathetic character, displaying totalitarian psychopathic tendencies.If man created beings who had created the havoc and horror that humans have he would have a lot to answer for.Hasn't God got a lot to answer for if we accept he is the creator of mankind?He seemed content to sit back and watch jews herded into the gas chambers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not saying any of the above is necessarily my viewpoint but I do think we should be a bit more critical of religious belief and ask ourselves whether to suspend disbelief re God is that healthy.&lt;div

as a rational unemotional person.They have a decorative function which facilitates the reproductive one.Feminism is an emotional spasm given a pseudo intellectual gloss with its roots in Marxism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women in marriage should have no role in society outside the home least of all in politics.Their irrational unstable emotionalism has given birth to the horrors of Socialism and Communism.There are a few rational women in history namely Ayn Rand and Thatcher but the exception does not prove the rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom of the individual of course

In the 80's there was a genuine choice between the big two but now that is no longer the case and they both represent Statism we do need PR.Independents,BNP,UKIP,Libertarians all need a voice if we are not to slouch towards totalitarianism.Parliament is corrupt and is aping its taskmasters in Brussels and the whole stinking system needs to be purged.The cosy LabTory Statist consensus  needs to be smashed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-3537012467071799348?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/3537012467071799348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=3537012467071799348' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/3537012467071799348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/3537012467071799348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2010/02/british-tea-party.html' title='British Tea Party?'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-6314181958777816971</id><published>2010-02-18T09:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-18T09:54:38.705-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Innumeracy.

doesn't move is of semi ancient origin.Our greatest monarch- as Starkey would have it- was busily   taxing her subject like there was no tomorrow,nothing escaped her ravenous maw and so it is today under our second elizaabeth although it should be stated of course that the honourable lady is entirley blameless in this present frenzied raid on the hapless 21st century British taxpayers and is but the mere innocuous shadow of an old  tyranny now reconfigured in the form of parlaiment. A tyranny made all the more shameless and abject it must be said in that it has the imprimatur of the British electorate who every four years vote back into power their own oppressors!Can it be doubted that taxation is the tool of tyranny as a man once said?It is a modern form of slavery in that it necessitates State coercion to force a disarmed population into the sevitude of those who will not work to maintain their existence.it is ann insurance scheme that no insurance company would ever dare to concoct.. It would be indicted if it did for running a ponzi scheme.The welfare state is totally unfunded,built on a promise which is not worth the paper it isn't even written on.The foundations of the welfare state are of course socialist and thus made of sand.From each according to his ability to each according to his need.From independence to dependency in one slick fatuous bromide and on such evil foundations the welfare state was born,a monstrous afterbirth an Hegelain deformity proudly displaying its hideous stumps and misbegotten hideousness  like a badge of honour. A nation brought low by a con trick,a ponzi scheme which if perpetrated by any businessman whould find him in jail for the rest of his life, enacted by people so amoral that they are proud of their accomplishment and preen themselves on its efficacy and brilliance.The inverted moral universe these denizens of the dark inhabit in unimaginable in its depravity.We live with its baneful effects on a daily basis and our slavery is made all the more onerous with the knowledge that we were and the willing participants in this human bondage.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

type='text'>Freedom: How To Lose It</title><content type='html'>Freedom is not lost overight but taken away in installments.This way anyone  claiming that  the incremental erosion of freedom is a threat to liberty can  be readily and effectively accused by the freedom stealers of making a mountain out of a molehill. it is only down the line when the accumulative effect of freedom erosion becomes apparent that it may dawn on the general populace hitherto preoccupied with their own daily struggle for a living that their freedom is indeed under threat, by which time it is invariably to late to mount any effective resistance as all the institutions have by this time been so comprehensively co opted into the service of tyranny and oppression and the anti freedom trend  already so extensively established and entrenched that it is impossible to  overcome.Like the lobster that is slowly being boiled in cold water by the time people awaken to the threat posed by the anti freedom forces it is too late to do anything about it as the powers ranged against them are at this point too mighty, institutionalised and entrenched to repel.Thus do people lose their freedoms under the installment plan and no clearer illustration of this insidious principle could be offered than that of the hydra headed pan European institution known as the EU which has sinuously advanced its totalitarian agenda over a period of half a century  by carefully gradated calibrated and calculated stages, at each step justifiying its further encroachments on National sovereignty and liberty in high sounding pseudo Democratic terms masking its insidious intent in coded emollient language calculated to induce a stupefying bored indifference amongst the general population who will then  at this final concluding stage be completely  subject to its totalitarian dictat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

establishment elite on ideology is ideology itself.It can thus do its work unoticed existing in a subterrannean netherworld of unspoken established othordoxies.A love that dare not speak its name of ideology thus escapes any challenge, forever lurking in the darker recessesses of the collective unconscious and national psyche all the more powerfully positioned to spread its invisible noxious  poison unchecked into the body politic.What is this established orthodoxy,this political shibbolith,this ideology which chooses to lurk on the outskirts of political consciousness, carrying out sorties on the polity,wreaking havoc on the culture of our beleagured and broken nation?It is none other than the ideology of Collectivism,Socialism and its greatest friend is the cover of darkness and its partner in crime Pragmatism.This is where the Conservatives come in.They are friends coming to the assistance of Socialist ideology via pragmatism.Thus we hear from the Tories the mantra that the NHS is safe in their hands.Cameron has gone down this path of slavish adherence to the Socialist nightmare vision of Socialise health care that is the NHS.How proudly he champions this Socialist neanderthal in the name of anti ideology! We can now see how ideology spurned in public discourse continues to exist in reality and informs all political policy and that rather than rejecting it as an anachronism and throw back to 20 th century thinking it is an indespensable ally that must be explicity articulated in any posited objectives by all parties in the clear light of day so that never again can the leftist ideologues promote their policies under false colours of non partisan non ideology. Let their poisonous ideolgy rather be named and called out.And let the Conservatives totally and utterly disavow any tincture of socialist ideology from their public policy especially heaven forbid when smuggled under cover of the  arch fiend  and impostor, Pragmatism.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-2647292903396703154?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/2647292903396703154/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=2647292903396703154' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/2647292903396703154'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/2647292903396703154'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2010/02/idology.html' title='Ideology'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-4072782534313899486</id><published>2009-09-22T09:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T12:44:45.334-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Democracy Is Slavery!</title><content type='html'>Mr Elephant in the drawing room Democracy is the problem.It is the mantra all Demagogues use when they wish to enslave the masses with their own vote.Like the Jews who paid for their rail journey to the gas chambers we pay our slavemasters and go freely to the ballot box to do it.Socialism via mind control has got pretty much everyone in its grip and only the blogosphere is attempting to awaken the living dead to its plight but there is no sign of the life as yet from the corpse of the UK Collective which suggests the rot has gone too deep and there will be no immaculate resurrection from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are effectively crying in the wildernesss.The mainstream media has become a cesspit of Statism and in the words of the stalwart Fox presenter Glen Beck is the true fringe media.We are the mainstream.Is there a 'we' or is there only me? I despair of fellow Conservatives.In the UK the Conservatives are so far to the Left they are more like American Democrats.I have very little in common with them to the point that I am thinking of no longer calling myself one.I am ashamed and embarrassed by them.Their proposed reform is so tentative,timorous and peicemeal that it hardly warrants the term. Cameron is a slippery Social Democrat,Tory so- called intelllectuals are seeking to adopt the 'progressive' mantle and there is an unseemly rush to the centre which is already overcrowded - if the centre of a vaccum could be so described.There is a depressing and weary predictability to the Prime Minister in waiting Cameron's pronouncements and but for the fact that another four years of Brown would break the camel's back I find myself wishing for the Tory pre election cat in the bag triumphalist tone to be silenced by hubristic defeat a la Kinnock back in the 90's with his hillarious pre-election victory rally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is only when you listen to the ConservativeLabourLiberal Man with his emollient samespeak where words are uttered totally devoid of meaning that you realise just how much work would need to be done to change political dicourse here in the UK,what a Grand Canyon of a chasm there is between the politcal classes and the man on the street who is the victim of the Democratic stitch up and the dumbing down by the Liberal media and  State Education establishment. What tyrannical sway the Statists hold over the hapless bemused and hypnotised masses! If it takes two or three generations to breed out the intelligence,indpendence of thought and autonomy of people this is not going to be undone in a generation, if ever.As the spiritual guide and seer Roy Masters has said, it is easy to corrupt someone and brainwash them,almost impossible to undo the damage.A nation reaches a critical mass of rotteness and decay and like the Roman Empire there is no way back.Have we reached this tipping point?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have to ask a simple question.Are the Tories able and willing to do what will be required to save this country from moral spiritual intellectual decay and death?To ask the question is to the see the folly of such a forlorn hope.Is it sufficient to cross your fingers and hold your nose and just vote Tory? No! They have been given the benefit of the doubt for too long.They have no answers.They have become part of the problem.Whether it be tax,welfare, law and order,BBC,the EU their response is to compromise,parley,appease,temporize,accomodate,,negotiate and surrender.This is betrayal on a industrial scale.It is business as usual,the politics of consensus that Thatcher shattered in the 80's for which she was summarily stabbed in the back by her own party. Since then it has been one long retreat as a default mode for the party that lost its nerve and has been apologising ever since for the one brief moment when it actually believed in something other than power for power's sake.Vote for that? Surely only Conservatives with a self esteem deficit and a masochistic streak could possibly consider accomodating such moral cowardice and delinquency by rewarding it with their vote?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who will dare question the Sacred Cow of Democracy? Who will point out that the Democratic Emperor is stark naked? Who will challenge the root of Statism, Socialism and Welfarism, which is the rotten intellectually morally bankrupt philosophy of self sacrifice? The sacrifice of the good to the evil,the moral to the imoral,the demented to the sane, the pure to the impure, the industrious to the slothful,the sober to the drunk,the thrifty to the profligate.Step forward men of valour and courage and expect to have a ton of Liberal ordure heaped on top of you!Do not flinch,do not cower and you will come out smelling like a rose.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-4072782534313899486?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/4072782534313899486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=4072782534313899486' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/4072782534313899486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/4072782534313899486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2009/09/democracy-is-slavery.html' title='Democracy Is Slavery!'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-865246800762156739</id><published>2009-09-20T07:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-20T07:31:42.521-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Neue Labour Macht Frei</title><content type='html'>As the New Labour project putters to its denoument no one who favours freedom over tyranny can be that optimistic about the incoming Cameron Project.Conservatives on other blogs seem to think that a Tory government can improve on the mess left by Labour but the feeble and half hearted reforms they are promising will clearly not do the job which means it will be business as usual,politics as usual -unless a new way is presented and there seems to be no one or no organisation coming forward with the kind of radical solutions to the UK's ills that would be required to save it from its present predicament.Perhaps it is the case that a country can reach a tipping point when things have gone so far that nothing can save it from terminal decline.I think we have reached that stage.In 1979 when Labour last took the country to the economic brink at least we had Thatcher to start her revolution.Now we have David Cameron...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what can be done? I think the Conservatives are a bust flush and there is no point thinking that they will be able to offer the radical reform or revolution required.We will have to look elsewhere.At this point my ruminations lead me to a large blank out.Do my thousands of readers have any answers?Until Conservative voters come to the same conclusion about the Party that I have come to we are set for more of the same I am afraid.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9689220-865246800762156739?l=niconoclast.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/feeds/865246800762156739/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9689220&amp;postID=865246800762156739' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/865246800762156739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9689220/posts/default/865246800762156739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://niconoclast.blogspot.com/2009/09/neue-labour-macht-frei.html' title='Neue Labour Macht Frei'/><author><name>niconoclast</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346612911422614130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689220.post-3675482918791943636</id><published>2009-09-12T01:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-12T01:46:12.949-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Brown On Anti Depressants</title><content type='html'>Rumours are circulating round Whitehall that Brown is on medication for depression.Figures.Socialism is a mental illness.The only antidote is Capitalism.

Labour government over the last 10 years.We all know why that is.Social mobility flourishes under a meritocracy.Under a mediocracy is goes into reverse.Egalitarian Socialist meddling,Social engineering,tampering with exam results, dumbing down the curicula,ending grammar schools,punitive taxation, all drive excelllence to the wall and rewards mediocracy, creating a stagnant effluent society.Welcome to Nu Labour Britain.What better representative of this non aspiring,whining, loser failed state UK than the grievance mongering mediocrity himself Mcdonnel,Socialist throwback Old
