Religion and its malcontents

Mr religious snake oil salesman said before God man is female.He should defer to the superior being like a woman presumably should defer to her man in a spiritual hierachy of authority that begins with God,then man,then woman and then their children.

The infantilisation that religion engenders here is clear.Man has no autonomy,his own judgement and desires in life are of naught.He exists in servility to his creator and he can no more question this servility than a pot can question the pot maker who has crafted him.

The psychopathology of religion is thus laid bare: mindless obedience,passivity and craven obesiance. But there is more.

Mr religious snake oil salesman favours a theocracy,rule by religious dictat,but do not fear because he  advocates,(roll of drums): a 'benign dictatorship'.I shall pause gentle reader whilst you grapple with that oxymoron.One can no more be a little bit enslaved than one can be a little bit pregnant.One is either one thing or the other.A is A as they say.Either you live under a dictatorship and have no freedom  or you are a free, autonomous agent.What if you are given instructions and resist?What does the benign dictator do? Blank out.

Mr snakeoil salesman is very calm about all this.His modulated tones denote reasonableness but in essence it is  a fire and brimstone fist in a velvet glove.He is not frothing at the mouth but then neither is Mr Cool President Obama.But he is a sociopath nevertheless.Sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace as Dylan once intoned.Not that we beleive in Satan of course but the point is well made.

How to destroy Islam part two

The myth and theory of moderate Islam has been well exploded.It is something the apologists for Islam always produce after every atrocity committed by muslims.There are no more moderate muslims than there are moderate Nazis.It goes with the territory.

As Islam poses a clear existential threat to the world and civilization only radical steps to destroy it will do.What is the spiritual home of Islam but Mecca and Medina.These should be taken out militarily and destroyed,raized to the ground.Mosques should be identified as a threat to western values and dismantled.Islam has to be driven from the West and eradicated like Nazizm was.The only cure for cancer is radical surgery.The terrorists have to be terrorized.

If Islam will not reform itself and it shows no sign of doing so it will have to be done by external forces.It is not the 15th century.Modern technology has enabled the muslim hordes and barbarians to gain access to sophisticated arms and it poses a genuine threat to human survival.The time to act is now especially with Iran on the brink of acquiring nuclear weapons.

Call it sleep

A  religious snake oil salesman in the US (where religion has always been privatised unlike in the UK which has a national state religion going back centuries) was preaching on the radio and he said hypnosis cannot help people because they are hypnotised already and in this hypnoidal state bad things beset them.This idea that the human race is asleep has biblical corroboration  and support as Christ himslf said 'asleep ye come in to the world,asleep ye go out'.

So what is this sleep that is referred to by religious people which view is broadly held by most religions albeit expressed in different language,the Buddhist for instance talk of lowered states of conciousness and proffer meditation techniques to raise it to a state of blissful consciousness,an at oneness etc.The religious snake oil salesman abovementioned preaches a similar thing attempting to meld East and West in a hybrid admixture and he refers to this state of at oneness as At.onement.

The rational mind knows only two states of consciousness: asleep and awake apart from altered states of conciousness induced by drugs which impair cognition but this is not in the ordinary human experience but rather in the realms of medical and social pathology.

To posit some higher state of consciousness achieved by connecting with an omnipotent supernatural entity from another dimension beyond human senses through which humans can achieve awakeness is to the rational mind bizarre, fantastic and absurd.

For people to take refuge in such an abject delusion is not a guarantee of human happiness and health but rather a  hopeless craven abdication of the mind and an abandonement of any possibility of human efficacy and hapiness. To quote Thomas Paine, 'the sleep of reason brings forth monsters'.That is the only sleep guaranteed those who sell their soul to faith.

How to defeat Islam

The West is prostrate and helpless in the face of Islam and cannot defeat it on the battlefield with weapons  because the real battle is intellectual and it has no defense against the moral absolutism and  totalitarian construct at Islam's core.Liberalism has for generations promulgated moral relativism and in more recent times the toxic anti ideology of pragmatism,the idea that objective reality is an illusion,coupled with multiculturalism -no culture is superior to any other and political correctness which is a latter day inquisition against free thought and expression if it falls outside the narrow parameters of liberal orthodoxy.

Thus disarmed and paralysed when confronted with the in plain sight evil of Islam liberal west is impotent and has nothing to say to counter its nihilist narrative because it has itself embraced nihilism,a belief that no values are possible or worth defending as superior to any other and is thus reduced to bleating bromides about democracy which is after all the description of a process of voting and not an ideology itself -Hitler was voted democratically and that was no protection against Nazim.

It is hardly surprising that in  this intellectual vacuum emanating from the intellectuals and universities students muslim and otherwise take solace and succor in the ultimate anti reason,anti mind ideology of Islam.They have been offered no alternative and have been taught that the mind is impotent,reason a mere Westerncentric cultural construct, a conceit  and illusion.The liberal anti ideology agenda has set the West up for its own destruction and this betrayal of the intellectuals is as near as treason as it gets.

Until this self defeating liberalist agenda is roundly rejected and a strong pro reason pro liberty philosophy replaces it no amount of drones will defeat Islam as its extreme nihilism will triumph and the West will decline and fall.The writing is on the wall.

Lets trust the surveillance state -Not!

Those nasty Russians and Chinese have breached US security data thanks to the wicked Edward Snowden leaking all that information about the secret service.That's what we are being told -by government officials and operatives in the US and echoed by their UK counterparts.Apparently they have cracked the encryption code which tells us that encryption is not a fail safe security we have been led to believe.

Even if it is true that Snowden failitated this in part, which I personally doubt, we have to ask ourselves the following.Are the US and the UK, both advanced welfare states, a staunch defender of civil liberties,individual rights,a bulwark of freedom against a hostile totalitarian world beyond its borders as they seek to present themselves?To ask the question is to appreciate its absurdity.We are less free now than a hundred years ago,our liberty is in danger of being eliminated,the biggest threat we have to contend with is not a bunch of prehistoric savages in the Middle East (which incidentally we have been busily appeasing for half a century with our suicidal altruistic foreign policy) but our own governments hell bent on surveiling us around the clock and stripping us of our last remaining liberties on the installment plan.

In the light of this the fact that hundreds of thousands of government operatives have had their personal data breached is not something to decry but to welcome.The State snoopers are now being snooped upon,the tables have turned.Lets see how they like it.

Beyond belief

A new environmentalist encyclical is to be issue by the pope.His followers already have the capacity to believe six impossible things before breakfast and having swallowed the ginormous camel of faith believing in the unscientific theory of environmentalism and man made global warning will be the mere swallowing of a very small gnat.

To mix metaphors the pope may be unwittingly walking in to a hornet's nest.He is in danger of making it official that environmentalism is as some of us have for a very long time suspected not a science but a religion with its articles of faith, dogma, total disregard of the facts,distorting of evidence, pious utterances, apocalyptic warnings and last but not least the  persecution ridiculing and silencing  of detractors and unbelievers.Methinks it is a perfect fit.

Negotiation for dummies

Why does a dinky insignificant basket case loony tunes country like Greece wield so much power over the combined bureaucratic political force of the EU empire? Simples.It knows the EU wants it to remain within it as the whole  project itself would be put in jeopardy if one of the national dominoes fell.

Greece can therfor play games of brinkmanship,stalling,prevarication,deceit,chicanery,bluster grandstanding,lying,propagandising,threatening, and abusing the EU operatives, knowing full well it has the advantage and leverage and eventually,if it holds out long enough, it will get the desired outcome: a massive dollop of EU fudge and an agreement to its terms which will allow it to continue its corrupt insane socialist policies at the expense of EU taxpayers.

For the same reason Cameron having already signaled his ultimate intention is to remain within the EU,his negotiating powers are of nought.Hence the contempt he is held in by the EU negotiators and bureaucrats who have already told him his proposed reforms are not going to be accepted.

So an elaborate pretense is being played out to convince the British public that Mr Cameron is going to Brussels to talk tough,all done in response to the rise of Ukip not because Cameron has suddenly seen the light re the EU.Like Mr Chamberlain before him he will go seeking peace in our time and come back with a worthless piece of paper.Then the hoodwinking will begin as he seeks to convince the British people that something momentous has been achieved and that  they  should vote to stay within the EU.

This is an elementary negotiation principle schoolkids practice in the playground: if you've got something you know your prospective buyer really really wants because he is dumb and has signalled as much to you in advance by his undisguised desire for it you can name your price.Pity our so called leaders have forgotten it.

Os.bourne Legacy?

Tearing up the State's credit cards seems like a good idea to me.We are told no government can bind future governments but why not if it is written in law and  protects future generations from being mortgaged to pay for Labour's spending depredations.The trouble is the proposition  is couched in deliberately vague ambiguous terms,referring to 'normal' times with the implication that when the gov deems we are not living in 'normal' times the credit cards can be reactivated for deficit spending.Never give the state wriggle room because it will drive a coach and horses through it.

As a statement of intent this policy is therfor commendable but its execution will have to be seen before it is believed.

Cameron's EU Fudge Productions

Mr Slippery did not wait long to start his old tricks re the EU referendum,seeking so silence his critics within the party by whipping them,then resiling from it when confronted.And now we hear that governmental bodies,civil service and the EU itself will be free to unleash a tsunami of tax funded pro EU propaganda just as it did in'75 to rig the vote in favour of UK remaining within the EU.

There is hardly a devious ploy and stratagem that has not been exposed by diligent MPs so it is unlikely that the dirty tricks will  succeed this time round but it is an indication of how treacherous and deceitful the Yes advocates are in seeking to achieve their desired objective.They must be watched every second of this campaign.

And on that matter of the Yes camp the question itself has been skewed as  some MPs pointed out by the staus quo advocates who have the positive Yes to campaign on.And who is going to ensure the BBC does not use its licence to propagandize for and part orchestrate the Yes result it so devoutly and rabidly favours?

NHS and the Mixed economy blues

If you think the mixed economy has a lot to commend it look no further than the NHS which is spending tens of millions of pounds on agency nursing,money no object cos its coming out of the national purse thru taxes -that's right you suckers are funding this madness.There is only one thing worse than socialism and thats a mixture of socialism and capitalism which is the worst of all possible worlds.A system built on irreconciliable principles ends up looking like the NHS and this way madness lies.

The victims of this irrational system are of course the doctors,the patients and the reputation of capitalism which is compromised by association with this corrupt political state system.

Navy Lark

Thought the armed forces were there to protect British citizens and defend UK interests? Wrong! Its got into the people trafficking business.Picking refugees up on the high seas and transporting them to Europe where they can form a disorderly queue to the UK Welfare State or Wayfare State.Just when you thought UK foreign policy could not get any more irrational and insane...

The Real Lib Lab con

The Kennedy Assination raised the issue of his political philosophy and great play was made of his early rejection of socialism - apparently Gordon Brown attempted to persuade him to join Labour in the early 80's but according to the BBC journalist discussing the matter he refused because he was not a 'Big Government man'.Er excuse me?

As I have pointed out on numerous occasions the Liberals were the handmaidens  of the welfare state which was practically lifted from the Communist Manifesto.Talk about flying under false colours.The Liberals have been doing this for a century or more.It is a good cop bad cop routine.Vote for us Liberals or you will end up with Labour - but they are one and the same.The only reason they did not make this official and join a coalition with Labour was because the electoral numbers did not stack up.Ideologically there is not a cigarette paper between the two.

Kennedy character assasination

It was dancing in the streets when Maggie died but when a nonentity liberal loser dies its wall to wall hagiography led of course by the liberal cheerleader BBC who gave a perfect illustration in its coverage of Kennedy's death why the institution needs to be sold off forthwith.

As for the poor old Charlie himself he did not die of the disease of alcholism but of a deep character flaw that led him to self destruct with alcohol.It is not an addiction,it is not a disease,it is a lifestyle choice.Human beings have volition.Of course the whole liberal meme is that people cannot help themselves,they are victims,it is the very essence and lodestar of their determinist philosophy.At the end of the day as well as at the start of it reality exists,we are beings of a self made soul.Some just choose to pickle theirs.

The Employer strikes back

It  is generally considered fair that employees can join unions but the rights of employer's tend to be ignored.The CBI is supposed to represent their interests but it seems to be a toothless body whose pronouncements are characterised by a temporising timorous pusillanimity and a servile truckling support of statism, happy to accept any piffling nugatory morsels of deregulation the gov may throw its way.

What is sauce for the employee goose must be  sauce for employer goose as well and to that end an organization needs to be formed that will truly stand up and represent business interests and just as unions claim the right to strike so too must employers assert this universal principle of withholding service to protect their rights that have been sorely violated over generations.

What would such action involve?The right to strike would manifest as a witholding of taxes such as national insurance contributions,capital gains and corporation tax,business rates,Vat returns and an across the board non compliance with all gov directed regulations including those of supra national bodies such as the EU.

BBC Boss offers gov an ultimatum

The head of the BBC has warned the government that if it stops throwing people in jail for not paying their TV licence he will be forced to pull the plug on some of the Beebs Tv programmes.The only response from the gov should be go ahead punk,make my day.One thing I can predict with certainty is that the licence review that comes up every decade will result in the BBC maintaining its licence with a few minor adjustments.You don't have to be Nostradamus.If I am wrong it may be the gov decides to finance the Bbc through thru taxation so no one has the opportunity to avoid paying for it and all this talk of not throwing people in jail anymore is just a preparation for that switch over into the tax system.

No gov will challenge the ethos of public service broadcasting,they may rail at the wall to wall liberal content if the gov of the day is Conservative but it will merely huff and puff and continue with the status quo.Trust me on this one folks,it has past form.

Liberal soak is dead

The only good liberal is a dead one and the old Russian proverb that if you cannot say anything good about someone don't say anything at all is particularly silly.Charles Kennedy's death will be much talked about today but one thing is sure: in years to come no one will be asking where were you when Kennedy died.

I have said before that the real destroyers of this country were not Labour but the liberals before them who sowed the seeds of the welfare state with their liberal reforms.Yes liberals are nice and personable but their policies are toxic and the fact that Kennedy poisoned himself with alcohol tells us something about the true psychology of liberalism which is not the benevolent philosophy it presents to the world.

Uman rights

It is clear that so called human rights   beloved of left wing activists and lawyers are nothing more than a series of socialist demands and edicts disguised as noble principles of freedom and liberty.It is  right that this gov is seeking to extricate the UK from this insidious and oppressive tyranny imposed from Brussels.

 This is the start  hopefully of a long journey away from European madness and back to historical principles of liberty which are completely alien to Europe and its entrenched institutionalised statism  and upon which principles British law is founded albeit in somewhat compromised and attenuated form in recent times via creeping welfare socialisation.

Rand Paul National hero

If Rand Paul has put a temporary spanner in the works of the FBI,the evil Whitehouse incumbent and the Nsa he has performed an admirable patriotic service to the beleaguered American people whose land of the brave is now a Brave New World of Stasi like State snooping and Orwellian surveillance with its mass data Hoovering.

At last someone has stood up to this madness and kudos to the great hero Edward Snowden who had to flee America and is now holed up in Russia which kind of shows how totalitarian the US has now become.He is a latter day Solzhenitsyn who will one day be feted as a great American and saver of the nation.

Empire no more

The UK is no longer an empire duh,it is not the world's policeman and the country cannot afford such a role even if it were moral which it is not.Nato and the Americans can go do one,if the latter want to posture on the world stage let them get on with it and much good it has and will do them.

America's foreign policy for over a hundred yeas has been largely immoral and it should return to it founding principles which is to defend its national interests and stop its altruistic follies and forays.A question mark hangs over Nato itself and the UK should withdraw from it as it is still fighting the cold war.

Fart for the day

Try listening to radio 4's Today programme at ten to 8 in the morning  and not hear some cleric saying his little prayer to collectivism and talking pejoratively about the individual.This is such a norm and staple of all Thought for the days that it is hard not to conclude that the collectivist meme is the most  defining characteristic of all religions as all denominations are now given airtime at the politically correct BBC.

If there is a conservative take on religion it is certainly not represented on Thought for the day and maybe it is just leftist clerics using their religion to smuggle in political messages but I rather think there is not much difference between conservative religion and socialist variety as the essence of all religions is of course altruism,sacrifice,non selfish relationships ad nauseam.The individual must defer to the collective which in a way is the essence of mysticism -the negation of the self and the melding into a collective conciousness.

One Nazion

It really did sound like a Socialist manifesto from Camoron,a big government programme.The Liberals and Labour are wiped out but we have the SNP in the commons with the clap.Kind of embarrassing to see them clapping one onother till the Squeaker rightly stepped in and silenced the Sasenach claque.So we now have a Scottish communist rump in Westminster and even Mr Slippery invoking Disraeli powers of Machieveilism will not be able to square this invidious circle.

The house of commons has always invoked a freak show. Now its official.

Prezzalogic

John Prescott.Just the name makes you laugh.But when he opens his mouth its beyond hillarious.Now John has a problem with Aspiration as he explained to Jim Naughtie this morning.He can't understand it.Getaway.Its a pesky little thing aint it John? It kind of gets in the way of the Labour agenda to render everyone helpless,without ambition -Aspiration.Away with it! No time for it at all.

Now why did Labour lose? John has some thoughts on that too.It wasn't left wing enough.There we are then,mystery solved.It was that darned soft rightist Milliband what did for Labour.They should have trumpeted the NHS more.Moral and intellectual bankruptcy -does not Mr Prescott expose the Labour problem right there? A clapped out moribund party still promoting the politics of envy and hate,doomed hopefully to never be in power again.(until the next time,as I have explained in a previous post).

Q and some A s

When its it appropriate to hold another referendum on the same subject ? When you lost the  first one.(If you won it, it is settled for a generation.)

If the UK votes to stay in the EU will the Scots mind if we have another referendum a few years later?

Why is it ok for Scotland to have a referendum on seceding from a country it has been part of for hundreds of years but not ok for the UK to have a referendum on seceding from a non country it has only been a member of for 40 years and has caused it nothing but grief?

Hold the front page! Bank of England wants UK to remain within EU

There are some things in life that are just not surprising.Like for instance the meat industry doing a survey on whether vegetarianism is good for you and finding that it is not.Or government paid 'scientists' researching global warming discovering that yes it is happening and something must be done about it.

Another non surprising thing is the Bank of England's leaked memo to that stalwart of free market capitalism the Guardian revealing that it is worried what will happen to the British economy if it leaves the EU.The BBC naturally jumped on this story this morning with Jim Naughtie almost wetting himself with glee but then we already know what the BBC line on the upcoming referendum is do we not: if we leave there will be an economic Armageddon.

The Bank of England is a tool of the state that actually dictates the political direction of the economy.Of course a tool of the state is going to be in favour of the UK remaining within the EU, a supra statist construct.

The only question remaining is will the tories do anything about the BBC in the Queen's speech.Ha ha ha (etc etc.)

Ukip go fly a kite

Ukip in Thanet are behaving in a crude populist way seeking to press for a compulsory purchase order for Manston airport in the same opportunist way Roger Gale tory is doing.The land has been bought,plans are afoot for creating thousands of jobs and Ukip and campaigners are seeking a Communist seizure of private property.Manston has never been a viable airport which is why divers companies have come and gone seeking to make a go of it.Pity politicians do not understand the market and the principle of private enterprise and are behaving like soviet commisars with five year plans.

Teresa May wears jackboots

Now we find May of the Nazi party wanted to screen tv programmes before they went out but was vetoed by other tories who had perhaps read 1984.We still have off.com that performs pretty much the same defacto censorship role so we can see where we are headed with the tory taliban.So just watch what you think or say and if you thought we had a free airwaves and broadcasting,well think again.Just make sure it is not an extreme thought or you May have your collar felt.

Cameron Eunuch man's up in Latvia

Peace in our time! Cameron is going to let those EU commizsars know whose boss.And I am off to scale Mount Everest.Let the lying cheating equivocating misrepresenting,caviling,grandstanding fabricating distorting dissembling propagandising begin! Only now we have the interenet and I'm hoping they will not be able to get away with it so easily.It's not 1975 any more and the public are a bit more awake.Here's hoping anyway.

Chukamoney in tax avoidance scheme

We were treated to a lot of guff by chukka amana no I cannot spell his ridiculous name about how he did  not want his family to be dragged thru the media mill but it turns out that he and his tax advisers have cooked the books and saved him loadsamoney and this is what he was afraid would dog him thru his Labour leadership were he to be selected .What a hypocrite.It seems there is one rule for rich capitalists and another one entirely for rich socialists.Good riddance to bad rubbish.

How to achieve world peace

There are two roadblocks to world peace and they are faith and force. I will deal with force first although they often go together.If the world is to advance to true civilization what is required is the introduction of the principle of non coercion in human affairs ie force.I should clarify and quality  this by stressing the non initiation of force  because if someone is coming towards you with a knif you have every right to use whatever force is required to repel that person up to and including taking their life if necessary.No,I am talking about the absence of coercion in human interaction meaning no one shall be permitted to initiate force against another and that is to include the State initiating force against an individual or any group of individuals and this would include taxation which is the use of force by the state against people en masse.

Faith is the second cause of absence of peace because it is irrational and people who practice it have the tendency to start wars and use force against others who do not share their irrational beliefs.A world without faith and religion would be half way towards civilization.For evidence of this I cite the menace of Islam around the globe in our present time. Christianity was equally barbaric until it was defanged by the reformation.

Black Spider Prince

So now the extent of his monarchist meddling is laid bare or at least a portion of it as Charles's redacted letters are published thanks to the Guardian's tireless pursuit thru the courts  to secure their release.It is hardly surprising that the palace should have done everything in its not inconsiderable power to prevent these damning missives being released as they reveal the sheer extent to which Charles has involved himself in the offices of State down to minutae detail bordering on the OCD and clearly overstepping the carefully delineated parameters of royal involvement and patronage.

For years we have been told of the nugatory ornamental role of the monarchy,its sharply transparently delimited influence and its innocuous role in the scheme of things and now we find Charles has been insinuating himself in state affairs in a wholly innapropriate way,assiduously weaving his black spidery web of intervention in pursuit of who knows what ideological end.

The nature of his concerns or hobby horses are of little import,whether it be badger culling or the invasive  commerce inhibiting EU directives on homeopathic herbal vitamins -both of which positions are laudable and would get some public sympathy,it is rather that he is seemingly incapable of recognising that he has over leapt the boundaries of royal prerogative and sunk to the woeful level of a lobbyist seeking to further his divers causes.

Clearly a frustrated man with way too much time on his hands and effectively waiting for his mother to die if Charles is really concerned woith the plight of limited state resources he might reflect that the monarchy is sitting on over 7£billion tax payers money which if the institution was abolished as the archaic morribund feudal throwback that it is,it would go a considerable way to drawing down the national debt.

English Devolution

Its a seductive idea,localism.letting power be devolved to regional areas,giving them policy and tax raising powers but what it effectively means is whole new layers of government and bureaucracy,the creation of mini soviets,a sinuous concentric Maoist incursion of the state into every nook and cranny of citizen's lives.Powerhouse indeed but the power will reside with the state compounding its monstrous reach to regions hitherto untouched.

The introduction of these  politicised statelets on regional levels are a cynical  refashioning and entrenching of statism,a makeover to counter the growing skepticism amongst the public of the state and its ever devouring maw as it sucks the money and life out of its populace.A distant tyrannical state is infinitely preferable to one on your doorstep which is what Trojan horse like is being proposed in this much trumpeted English devolution plan.The Devil is in the devolution.

Before the law

A characteristic of totalitarian states is their fluid law that can be interpreted in an arbitrary subjective way by the state hanging like a Damocles sword over its citizens who never know from one day to the next whether they are breaking the law or not and the design of this is to create a permanent state of chronic uncertainty and fear to cower the population into silence passivity and compliance.

Non objectivity in law is the sine qua non of all dictatorships.This is the essence of the government's newly announced hate crimes crackdown and its consequence will be to have a chilling effect on free speech as its net will be cast far and wide to encompass the expression of any views that fall outside the narrow state dictated political liberal consensus.

The incoherence and vagueness of the language the government is deploying is a deliberate  attempt to conceal its true objectives and it requires inexact terms and wooly  ambivalences to cloak its intent. We are now told the new legislation will be employed to combat indoctrination.This is Orwellain territory indeed.Why not just call it the Thought Crime bill and have done with it? 

Teresa May. Serious case of White Noise

All politicians have it very bad in the clarity department.They speak a coded language all their own that is expressly designed  not to express anything in precise language but in this black art Teresa May is in  a class of her own.The mistress of obfuscation May specialises in opaque language and it is indeed her defining characteristic.If it were a minor department she was in charge of this might not be so serious but this is the home office minister and she is in charge of a new programme on curbing political extremism and drawing up legislation to counter it.

It is hard to think of any issue that demands absolute clarity of expression,concise definitions,plain language more than the issue of frees speech as it goes to the heart of liberty and a free society but it is at this very core issue Miss May shrouds the English language in fog and a miasma of obfuscation.It is very hard not to conclude that this is deliberate,or it could just be she really is that confused in her thinking.

Hence we are told the battle is with extremism,a vague wooly term in itself as it only denotes the degree of a person's belief  and the extent to which they hold it not whether the belief itself is good or bad.Some people are extremely good -does that make them extremist?By her non definition one would have to say it does.

Then she proposes to act against those who 'incite hatred'. What exactly does that mean? If someone says homosexual acts are obscene is that  incitement to hate and if so since when was a belief or a thought constituted a crime? Blank out.Is any strongly expressed disaprobation against a particular individual group,religious persuasion ethnic characteristic  to be now regarded as illegal rather than what it is,an irrational prejudice and an indication of gross ignorance? Note she does not say incitement to violence which would be the correct point at which the law steps in to prevent such speech.

One can only conclude that this is yet again a deliberate covert assault on the principles of free speech in the guise of protecting it,a refusal to pursue the real threats to our liberty in the form of islamism and to to cloak the whole country under suspicion of automatic guilt in the expressing of unpopular controversial views that challenge the state and its arbitrary oppressive power and unchecked expansion.

Bad losers

The incredible sulk of Paddy Ashdown on Question Time was a real treat.For sheer bad grace   it was in a class all of its own.Bad loser doesn't really approximate it.Aside from the fear factor that I covered in my last post Paddy came up with a real gem to explain why the liberals lost.It was Rupert Murdoch's fault! If it wasn't for that darned pesky  free press we'd have won it! Levenson should have been effected and a complete liberal hegemony of the media would have ensured the liberals won.

Failing that they had to rely on the BBC - that tool of Toryism! Yes folks,I really did hear some Labour loser citing the unfair coverage the BBC gave them.I suppose with levels and depths of self delusion of that magnitude we can anticipate a decade at least to pass before the left  return to power.

Fear

Was wondering what line the political losers of the election would take to explain away their catastrophic defeat.It did not take them long to come up with one.It was Fear gentle readers that did it for them.The nasty wicked Tories frightened the voters into electing them!They conjured up such  unspeakable horrors of an SNP Labour pact that the poor helpless voters went scurrying back to Tory nurse for fear of a stitched up North South Marxist cohabitation of Labour and SNP

.For sake of argument say it was so.Is that such an unreasonable fear? If you know the person walking across the street had ebola would you not run away in fear? Or your house was on fire? No,some fears are rational and fear of a rabid SNP Milliband coalition was one such fear.

Sugar!

Very odd and cynical behaviour from Sir Allan Sugar,qutting the Labour party a few days after its electoral wipeout Looks like he was waiting to see which way the electoral wind was blowing  before deciding what to do.Had the mad Marxist won no doubt Sir Allan would still be in the Labour camp. Funny fellows these liberal businessmen eh what.

BBC and the least we should expect

Scrapping the TV licence is never going to happen but with the battle of Britain re the EU about to commence the BBC should be forced to shed all its political broadcasts and programmes because as the recent events of the Scottish referendum and the general election have amply demonstrated the corporation cannot be trusted to present an even handed,balanced,unbiased non tendentious  non rabid pro liberal gloss to its output.

Some will rightly point out that so left leaning is the BBC,so entrenched is the liberal bias that it even manages to turn the Archers into an anti tory drama and they will further point out the left wing comedians who dominate the field and whilst this is true that will be a battle for another day.Right now it is its political programming that must be excised if the beeb wants to keep the licence.That should be the red line.

I go,I come back

Ok the way it was handled was a bit clumsy but the most important thing is - he's back!Ukip not only need Nigel Farage in what is their most important hour with the imminent negotiations over EU membership but at the risk of sounding grand the country does too.Cometh the hour cometh back the man.

Cameron is not called Mr Slippery lightly and he will go off to Brussels cap in hand,be given a few morsels by way of concessions by the eurocrats and come back home presenting it as a banquet of concessions and then urge a yes vote.He has past form and to use the cain expression once more, 'characteristics are reliable'.

It will need a Farage to cut through the evasions,obfuscations,double talk,double dealing sophistry,propaganda that we can expect from the europhiles and no one can do that more effectively than him.Welcome back to the fray!

Am I naieve or what?!

Ok,I admit it.I must be credulous as I really thought that with the total routing of the Liberals and Labour we would be spared anymore from them for quite a while and that they would disappear from our screens.How wrong was I! There has been wall to wall Paddy Ashdown,Shirley Williams since Friday morning.

 On Question Time on Friday Paddy gave a masterclass in sanctimony and smug conceit and in the light of the catastrophic results for his party on Thursday a period of protracted trapist silence was not an unreasonable expectation, but not a bit of it. Governments come and go but the BBC goes cranking out its weary liberal meme. Do not adjust your sets,abnormal service will resume immediately.

Tall tales dept

If anything fundamentally changes at the BBC after its ten yearly licence review  I will personally buy a hat from Paddy Ashdown and eat it.The conservatives have past form on huffing and puffing about the BBC and its institutional leftism yet here we are with a bloated corporation a thousand times more powerful than ever .Even Norman Tebbit could not touch the BBC but the idea that this feeble Whitingdale character is going to slay the beast is frankly risible.

I do not claim any Nostradamic  powers on this matter,it is rather that, in the words of an unknown philosopher called Frank Cain,"characteristics are reliable".

Getting off Scot free

Cameron must not give Splurgeon any more devolution without first giving the rest of the UK a cast iron guarantee that when Scotland goes belly up financially with SNP Greekenomics we will not end up bailing it out.Right now Cameron is preparing to hand the SNP a credit card with England's name on it.This is intolerable.

The conservatives should also insist that if there is to be another referendum on independence all the citizens of the UK will be able to vote on it as it affects and impacts on the whole of the UK.But fundamentally all such referendums are illegitimate for reasons I gave in my previous post.

The Scottish Solution

The approach by the new conservative government towards Scotland should be this.Abolish the Barnet formula,close down the Scottish parliament and ban any future referendums on independence.No rump within a country has the right to referendum a secession becuase it wants to form a socialist state in its place as this would impact on people in the rest of the country and take away the freedom of those who do not want to be enslaved by socialism.

The only grounds for secession is if the existing country is socialist and the people residing in it wish understandably to free themselves from that oppression and form an independent country based on the prinicples of liberty,individual rights and a small delimited state.

This is why the 1975 referendum  on British membership to what was then deliberately misleadingly called the common market was illegitimate because no country can vote away its sovereignity and liberty to an external supra power  thus violating the individual rights of its citizens.You cannot vote to enslave your neighbour.

It is clear that Scottish devolution was a halfway house to independence ,creating a defacto state within a state with all the trappings of a country -a parliament,legislative powers,separate polity etc and the inevitable result be a staging post to independence which is exactly what has happened.Offering to throw more powers to Scotland as Cameron has promised is merely to compound the folly.

The strange non death of liberal England

It is a salient characteristic of post war British politics that the electorate alternate between Labour and Conservative rather like a drunk forswearing alcohol and then falling off the wagon periodically.Labour bankrupt the country,the tories come in and clear up the mess and elctorate promptly go to back to profligacy and vote in Labour once more.This pattern as depressing as it is predictable has never really been properly analysed re its cause andn until it has been we can anticipate a continuation of such wild swings indefinitely.

Thus we can say with a fair degree of accuracy that it will not be long before the electorate once again returns to its Labour vomit and I believe the explanation for this is very simple and it is this.The philosophical moral underpinnings of Labour have never been challenged and no alternative moral system posited.The Conservatives simply say Labour are economically illiterate and they can run the system more efficiently,balance the books.They totally ignore the moral philosophicl sphere and openly boast of being anti ideological.Thus the field of morality and ideas is abandoned to the Left for them to claim the high ground.

After a while of economic stability and growth facilitated by a more market friendly Conservative approach (although far from pure capitalism) people start to feel guilty about their prosperity and success as they have been taught the morality of altruism and self sacrifice,that self interest is wrong and so they go back to a Labour government who promptly bankrupt the country with their socialist welfare programmes: 'there is no money left' as one Labour aparatchick baldly admitted at the end of Labour's last administration.

So the public are given an invidious though totally fallacious choice: be successful and prosperous but guilty as hell or be economically poor but feel morally good.This explains why the electorate having voted in the Conservatives yet again apparently still dislike the party according to Matthew Parris and its brand is still toxic ie the 'nasty party' tag.So we can expect this self loathing guilt tripping electorate to return to morality ha ha and vote Labour in again in the not too distant future.

We can see how the liberal Dracula is never slain - liberalism is dead but it won't lie down.Not until that is, a stake is driven right thru its rotten black heart.The weapon required however is not wooden and pointed but rather a moral argument,a philosophical ideological defense of capitalism.Nothing less will do.

Soviet dog returns to its vomit

Celebrating the anniversary of Russia's heroic battle with the Nazis the country is clearly suffering from collective delusion syndrome.Don't mention the Nazi Soviet pact -I did it once but think I got away with it (and no I do not want any polonium in my tea thank you).

At least the BBC is swallowing the Putin soviet line referring in its bulletins covering the anniversary to ,wait for it: 'soviet citizens'. Can you imagine the bloshevic broadcasting corporation referring similarly to the 'Nazi citizens'?!

Of course as the modern kleptocratic neo nazi Russia state run by Putin the ex soviet KGB goon lurches towards full blown totalitarian status it is worth reflecting on the numbers of its own people who ended up in the gulags far exceeding as they did those slaughtered by the Nazis.No wonder he seeks to glorify one of the bloodiest tyrannical periods in Russia's history.

Just rejoice at that news

It is important to savour this delicious moment.The defeat of evil,the triumph of good.This is worthy of celebration.The sheer scale of defeat for the left is undreamt of.No more smug faced liberals spouting their pious cant their holier than thou rhetoric.All gone.Labour too wiped out.48 hours later and only just sinking in.Never mind VE day,this is the true victory.

Yes there will be time to discuss what the future holds re the EU etc but just for now rejoice at the routing of the left,its anhiliation and be glad.

End of statism in UK?

What an opportunity to roll back the frontiers of the state the tories now have.Talk of One Nation from Cameron is not reassuring but his right wing should be able to hold his feet to the fire and prevent his leftism which was not possible when he was butressed by the liberals in coalition.

But what anhiliation for the Liberals and Labour! When Labour lurches to the Left it loses.How quickly the old lessons get forgotten.They will now have time to reflect on the bleedin obvious and return to their New Labour position or remain out of power for a generation if not forever.

With the stay of execution we now have it is time to create a capitalist party and begin the argument for a small state.

Wow! Phew! (but I did predict it)

Nitemare on Milliband street was just that.It is bright confident morning again.Everyone can breathe a collective sigh of relief.The nation peered over the precipice and drew back.Milliband who had parasitically atatched himself to the New Labour phenomena and sought to get into 10 Downing St on a Stalinist prospectus has been roundly seen off by the conservative electorate who may have lost some of their marbles but had enough left to see what a disaster and toxic menace Labour represented.

And the Liberals too, eviscerated.Can it get any better?Another parasite on the conservative host this time,riding to unearned power on Cameron's coat tails has been practically wiped out.But we need shed no tears for yet another party flying under false colours as moderate when it brought into being the Labour party with its liberal welfare agendas.

So it is goodbye to the lot of them and hello to a conservative party dependent on its right wing re EU etc.It could hardly get any better.

Of course I  wanted Ukip but they were never going to win and with the present electoral system they will be unrepresented but they live to fight another day for sure.And no I am not a conservative any more but with the terrifying prospect we were confronted with were it not that I dislike alcohol I would be drinking a toast to them myself this morning.

Life

What is the meaning of life? that is not the question.What is the meaning of your life is.Life is not some thing separate from a person,that happens to and impacts upon them independent of their actions but is  rather the end result of their actions.To ask what is the meaning of life is to go nowhere as implcit in the question is the premise that there is some external  non material being from another dimension that is orchestrating everything and everyone and we have to somehow get in contact with that being and do its will.

Ukip Sunny Uplands

Just as it was wrong for the UK to have a referendum on joining what was then called the common market in 1975 as no country has the right to put the liberty of its people to a vote it would equally be wrong to have a referendum on whether to continue remaining a member of that illiberal supra national body which because of its collectivist underpinnings precludes any possibility of protecting individual rights.

It is therfor extraordinary that Ukip have in recent times come out in favour of a referendum on the continuation or otherwise of Britain's membership of the EU.Going from a principle opposition to UK EU membership to saying let the mob decide is a fall from grace indeed.Still,Ukip are a million miles better than all the alternatives and I urge my few readers to go out and give the political establishment a hard kick in the ballots.

Labcon created Scot Nat Frankenstein Monster

In a perfect illustration of how you cannot compromise with extremism Labour sought to buy the Scot Nats off with devolution and a Scottish parliament but this simply created a halfway house for Scottish independence.The conservatives under Cameron further facilitated this process by allowing a referendum on the issue and then appeasing the Scot Nats yet again by promising even more devolved powers if they stayed within in the union.Surprise surpise this only fed the appetite of the Splurgeonistas and increased their legitimacy in the eyes of the Scottish people.

After a No vote the Scots now have defacto independence,with all the benefits and economic cushion of remaining within the Union but none of the risks of independence.Why wouldn't any Scot vote for them -a vote for having their cake and eating it?

It takes chutzpah on an industrial scale for Labour and the Conservatives to be bewailing a process that they themselves foolishly set in motion.

Government paralysis? Bring it on

I am not convinced about hung parliaments and such like but if it does come to pass with the trend inexorably towards more advanced statism in this country it can only be a good thing.Anything to stop them and slow down the legislative orgy of bill passing,law making,meddling empire building.A mannacled impotent government is our only hope.

But of course Britain is ruled by Brussels so it won't make any difference either way Ruled Britania indeed..

Welfare Duchess has second baby

They may be sitting on £7 billion but the baby needs a new bonnet so tug that forelock,pay that tax!You may have to think twice before having a baby -can we afford it? but the Welfare Windsors don't have such concerns as the tributes keep pouring in.You may object and resist but they will throw you in jail.See the booty of the Royal scam.

A Republic.You know it makes sense.

Democracy and its solution

The disease we have found, is democracy.So what is the cure? Liberty,founded on individual rights!In all the talk of protecting minorities the one minority democatarians have no time for whatsoever is the individual.His rights can be trampled on because he does not belong to any group,or tribe or gang,he is not part of the identity politics that gives advantages based on a person's collective association or pressure group.

If an individual's rights are violated in the process of giving rights to some group or gang whether it be black people,the poor,women etc you can be sure that the one thing that is not being observed is  the principle of justice and rights.

Dimocracy

How telling is it that almost half the electorate cannot decide who to vote for.It is the same non existential dillema one faces when confronted by two seemingly identical products in different packaging in the supermarket and there appears to be no way of determining which to purchase.

The public's frustration with the political system democracy  has not been correctly analysed in this election as the last thing the intelligentsia and media want to do is identify the elephant in the room and risk the whole system collapsing around them.So I will do it instead.The problem gentle reader/s is democracy itself.You are all frustrated because you have a sense of powerlessness but that is precisely the intent of those who designed the thing we call democracy.It is called in classic terms the divide and rule strategy.

Democracy is designed to suck the independence from the individual whilst appearing to empower the same .This ingenious construct has fooled pretty much all the people all the time and continues to do so to this very day as no one is saying the fault lies not in us but in democracy itself,they are merely saying something has to be done to make democracy work effectively.Profound error!


And what absurd solutions to this problem they proffer: compulsory voting,proportional representation,public funding of political parties.Apart from anything else if you fail to identify the problem correctly you will be putting forward solution to a problem that does not exist whilst ignoring the actual problem.

Do not think for one moment that this is some sort of accident.Those coming up with all the false analysis and false solutions are the same people who are behind the democracy scam and want it perpetuated to infinity.

Vox Populi Scam

Have you noticed how the putative vox populi put forward by the media to hold forth for minute or two all seem to be droning from the same liberal hymn sheet ?A very selective vox populi indeed with the same depressing unthinking dull pro establishment views.These dullards are about as independent thinking as a BBC audience.

So we can put the vox populi with the rigged dodgy polls with their flawed methodlogy as a joint conspiracy designed to demoralise the public with a sense of futility and helplessness -in this case with the absurd message that nothing can stop the SNP taking over the world when it could not even win an independence vote in the recent referendum -and which result as I  pointed out just recently those brilliant predictors of the future the pollsters got so abysmally wrong.

And how on earth can the opinion polls be predicting a hung parliament when it now emerges that almost half the electorate have not even made up their minds yet?!

The sinister name of the game is to skew the polls to the desired end of a liberal victory and make people think it is inevitable,what do they know,if the majority are voting for that particular party they must know something they themselves do not so they will vote that way too.Such dodgy polling is nothing short of  scandalous voter manipulation.

The Left. Rule of Unreason

What the left has done to civilization over the last hundred years plus cannot be undone overnight.Co opting as it has, education, philosophy,politics,culture, law, science, maths,physics psychology,art ad nauseam lol its penetration is all invasive and pervasive and the battle against it has to be joined on all those fronts.The work required therfor is on an olympian level but in order to be undertaken an anlysis of the root of the problem is essential or the battle will be lost before it has started.Random sorties into enemy territory with nothing but arbitrary concretes as targets will be worse than futile.

Identifying the enemy is therfor the main objective and it is the pure hatred of reason and therfor reality of the left - that has to be where the focus lies.

MilliBrand digs his grave

He will rue the day he set foot in the Marxist clown's house and gave that ridiculous interview.The tax doging commie.dian is a self publicising  hypocrite of the first water and Milliband has sunk to the gutter in a desperate attempt to appear relevant to the young who being largely uneducated in the state system  are taken in by Brand's gibberish apparently as he has over a million 'followers' on youtube.Hitler had lots of followers too.

At least with his tacit support for Milliband Brand has revealed his true colours -deepest Red.

Opinion Polls: Lying tools of biased media

First they lied about the Scottish Independence referendum and predicted a very narrow finish which I knew at the time was wrong.The No vote won by sizeable 10% Now they are talking up Splurgeon and the SNP Socialist Nihilist Party and telling us they are going to end up running the country after the election.I predict a tory win and UKIP advance.Don't beleive the polls.They seem to be in symbiotic connivance with the liberal media.

Perversion of welfare!

The Liberals say the tories will cut child benefit and working tax credits -and what an Orwellian jumble of confusion is contained in that last absurdity - but it does highlight how the last labour gov deliberately spread the welfare net far and wide to encompass even working people which is a perversion of welfare's original intent namely to give succor to the unemployed.As flawed as that original plan was even the architects of the misbegotten welfare state did not intend for it to suck into dependency those in work.This was a cynical ploy to gain voters by Labour and it has distorted the wage price discovery of the employment  market as has the unemployment benefit system itself.

It is to be hoped that if the tories get back in which I predict they will getting rid of child benefit and the tax credits for working people  will be one of their early objectives.

Australia must act

The murder of 2 Australians in Indonesia by its government for drug smuggling should be treated by Australia as an act of war and retaliation should be swift and ruthless.Withdrawing some bureaucrat from an embassy is worse than doing nothing.This is state terrorism and Indonesia needs to feel the full wrath of the Australian state with a military strike.It should have given forewarning to Indonesia that if it murdered two of its citizens it would be regarded as an act of war and retaliation would follow.This it failed to do and its response is woefully inadequate and pusilaminous.

Instead of bleating on about how the smugglers were repentant,going to church and doing voluntary work to reform themselves the Australians should have said no crime was committed,it beleives in decriminalising drug consumption and selling and that it does not accept the barbaric medieval moral religious system of Indonesia and will not tolerate its imposition on its citizens.

It was reported that Australia actually sends welfare Aid to Indonesia.Lets hope that is brought to an immediate end and it starts getting tough with this subhuman country.

ideology and the left

The left ascribes virtues to the tories that they do not possess when it accuse them of being ideological.Most tories do not have an ideological bone in their body,they are pragmatists through and through who just lean to the right.The left sensing that people are distrustful of ideology seek to smear the tories in the public mind with this ideological tag when in reality if it belongs round anyones neck it is theirs with their big state agendas.

A biographer of Cameron said recently that when some of his speechwriters tried to inject abstract concepts pertaining to freedom and capitalism into his speeches he crossed them all out so distrustful is he (and I would argue as are all tories) to ideas and ideology.One need look no further as to the real cause of the tories being just neck and neck with Labour in the opinion polls at this late stage in the election campaign.

The lesson is clear.The politician with no ideolgy will always be defeated by the politician with one no matter how bad or immoral it may be.And let us not forget that an anti ideology is an ideology.Its called nihilism.

Food banks are good

Food banks are contrary to what we are told, a good development taking charity away from the State and back to the private sphere where it belongs.Instead of the state stealing money from people in taxes and very often giving it to the undeserving so called poor the work is done by churches or other charity outlets and less prone to corruption although we do see abuse of food banks by people who do not really need them.

The left hates food banks because it robs them of their political power base but it is they who have destroyed the whole concept of charity by nationalising it thus subverting it and creating social alienation as people's charitable impulses have been atrophied by state co option.It is the left that has a cynical view of human nature and effectively believes that unless a gun is pointed at the head of people they will not give and be charitable but the whole point about charity is that it has to be voluntary.To impose it by force is to destroy it.

The success of food banks should lead to the only conclusion that all welfare should be privatised and taxation abolished over time so that natural human instincts can come to the fore with the additional benefit that individuals are much better at determining who needs help and who is playing the system than the politicians who more often are motivated by shoring up their power base and being elected to office with all the emoluments and financial advantages that therby accrue.

Politicans indulge in cheap at no cost to themselves pseudo virtue by giving other people's money away and this vicarious philanthropy,charity by proxy is the worst kind of moral corruption as it invests them with God like powers,their appetite for other people's money grows with the feeding and the public is robbed blind as they direct the monies to their electoral client base,effectively attaining power thru pork barrel politics,the very essence of political corruption.

Lets hear it for food banks then as they return power back to the people and away from the corrupt political classes.

What will be the repercussions of UK EU withdrawal?

We are given dire warnings by the Euphiles that if Britain leaves the EU it will seriously harm its industry and cripple the economy but one has to take such warnings with a truck load of salt when one bears in mind the politics of those making the claim.They are hardly the defenders of business and love the EU precisely because it is Not business friendly and has imposed social charters and regulations and taxes on it to the point of strangulation.To hear such people express concern about British business should make anyone suspect their motives and treat them with the utmost skepticism.

But there is another clue as to the real motives for the EU philes making such an argument when one follows it to its conclusion where they claim that a UK outside the EU would be cut off from all the trade deals and agreements with the other EU members and it is here that they give the game away because what they are effectively conceding is that the EU is not about free trade at all but is in fact an insular inward looking protectionist bloc bound in by restrictions tarrfiffs bureaucracy laws regulations - which is why they love it so much!

Austerity,what austerity?

The tory's idea of austerity is the equivalent of Mr Cresote denying himself a wafer thin mint.The chancellor's shiftiness when asked where the future cuts are to come from is telling and it is a puzzle why he cannot see how evasive and shifty he sounds when he persistently ignores questions about it and goes off on one of his characterstic divagations interlarded with vague generalities.But then again it relects the contempt that the political class have for their dumb electorate as they know the latter do not really want to be told the truth about the country's dire economic situation -mankind cannot take much reality as TS Elliot put it.

This sort of complicity between politicians and voters reminds me of the old joke in the Soviet Union when a worker said of his State employer 'they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work'.We know how that one ended and Europe now is  not in much better shape.

In the end such dishonesty does not really pay off however as Ed Milliband is apparently ahead in the polls and is predicted to win and when a politician cannot defeat Gordon Brown or Ed Milliband it is really time for him to go and do something else which is what most people are saying Mr Cameron will do.

Max Keiser and the Red Terror -RT

Marx Keiser at the soviet state tv RT gets more hysterical by the day with his anti capitalist ravings and only state sponsored RT would give such a unhinged character airtime.His fruitloop sidekick Stacy Herbert interpolates his foam flecked harrangues with readings from bizarre obscure publications and internet sites feeding  his stream of conciousness ramblings.

Every so often he trundles on the psychotic paranoiac comedian Russel Brand who takes the programme to new levels of surrealism.This delusional character only exhibits humour unintentionally with his patheitic conspiracy theorist kindergarden agitprop and is a perfect match with Keiser as they feed each other's psychotic delusions and hatred of individualism.

HSBC exit of UK prefigures braindrain

Reading the writing on the wall re regulation,taxes and the dire prospect of an overtly Marxist Labour government red in tooth and claw HSBC statement this week that it was considering leaving the UK should not be seen as an idle threat.It did mention the uncertainty of UK s relationship with the EU as being another factor but no one has any realistic figures about what the repercussions of such an British exit from the EU would be so that is not the main issue here.

We do know however what the country always looks like after 5 years of Labour governments  and there are quite a few businesses who will decide that it is not something they want to hang around for with HSBC firing the starting pistol.Watch this empty space where businesses once stood.

Comemorating a dead and disreputable past

Here we go again with yet another moribund celebration of past non glories this time the Anzac defeat in the gallipoli dardanells disaster.What is the matter with this country that it must wallow in its past that was never any good to begin with? Its just too embarrassing.

The more I think about it there is absolutely no grounds for patriotism for the British. Configured by statism from the start to the present it has to manufacture something to remember as an anaesthetic to kill the pain of its nothingess.We have seen the enemy and it is within.Orwell had it bang to rights in his dystopic novel and we have a daily dose of regardant collective wallowing.Bound by self mannacled chains we peer misty eyed to a mythical past where heroes traversed the continents spilling oceans of blood for meaningless causes to empower the state and render their own people slaves.Ruled Britainia,waive the celebrations why don't you.

Starkey raving bonkers again

He caused a bit of commotion arguing with the ridiculous Helena Kennedy last week but the main outrage which went completely unnoticed was David Starkey's incredible statement that the people accepted the Magna Carta which secured their liberty by agreeing to taxation.Think about it.They bought their liberty with chains around their necks,allowing the government to extract monies from them in perpetuity,rendering them slaves of the state.I know,it is rather hard to get your head round such a complete contradiction and this from a renowned and accomplished historian.

When even the best of our intellectuals are so mired in confusion and contradiction what hope indeed?

Red Milliband Peril

With his announcement of rent controls if  Labour wins it is becoming obvious that milliband is a threat to the country that should not be countenanced.If Labour  win I favour a military coup to overthrow it.He and his cabinet should be thrown in the tower of London,tried and executed.It must be remembered that democracy can lead to dictatorhip as it did in Nazi Germany where Hitler was elected thru the ballot box.Democracy is no protection of tyranny but rather a facilitator of it.

Pathology of modern politics

There is something about the run up to a general election that brings the whole rotten corrupt system of democracy into sharp relief with its faux debates on concretes,its militant avoidance of principles and articulation of ideology and underlying philosophy and the implicit agreement amongst the supposed rival parties to fake disagreement where none exists as all share the same collectivist statist premises which they connive to conceal from their hapless electorate voting fodder.

This sordid and tawdry spectacle would shame a banana republic but in what is supposed to be the heart of a supposedly free highly advanced modern state it is nothing short of a catastrophe and a moral disaster.

The Statism we're in

There is a much publicised disillusionment with modern politics in democracies generally but no one appears to have got to the core of the problem or even aprroximated the cause of this profound phenomena.An obstacle to finding the cause I believe lies in the sacred reverence in which democracy is held by its advocates and defenders.To question it is to invite opprobrium down on one's head and to be roundly excoriated . I should say  if anyone dared to attempt such a transgression for so hypnotic a thrall  has democracy cast over even the most astute of commentators no one even dare attempt such act of iconoclasm.

Unless we can break the spell that democracy has cast over people's minds, to cooly examine the  sacred cow we will continue to stumble around in the dark unable to get to the heart of the national frustration with politics.

Notes to the Alternative Manifesto

The challenge to statism and its halfway house  the mixed economy has to go to the root which is philosophical.Unless the core beliefs that underpin statism and mixed economy are challenged head on people will always choose  statism and its application of welfarism and redistributive taxation based as it is on the fundamental religious principles of altruism. It is those principles that need to be challenged as even though they lead to economic disaster people will opt for them in the belief that morality trumps all.This is the task for those who wish to place capitalism as the heart of a  moral system of enlightened rational self interest.

Alternative Manifesto

As an antidote to the slew of statist mixed economy 5 Year Plans of the political party's manifestos I offer the following.

Dissolution of the Monarchy.This will release £7 billion of property that the parasitic royals are sitting on to pay off some of the national debt.

Disestablishment.The Church of England is a whore of socialism,a nationalised religious obscenity and will be privatised.Britain is no longer a religious country and not even its adherent in the Cof E actually believe in the fiction of God and they do not represent or speak for anyone but themselves and their narrow clique of primitivistic clericalists.

Abolition of the minimum wage -the biggest job destroyer of them all and blighter of youthful aspirations and opportunity.

Abolition of inheritance tax.

5 year phasing out of all taxation -the tool of tyranny.

Bonfire of all anti business regulations

Withdrawal from the EU

Abolition of Foreign Aid

Privatisation of the NHS

Legalisation of all drugs

Withdrawal from the UN

Withdrawal from Nato

Abolition of the Barnet Formula

Psalm to the Non-integrated conciousness

If you want to know how liberals 'think' then BBC Radio 4  Points of View is essential listening. This week it was the turn of the comic jewish novelist Howard Jacobson and  he pedals the familiar line of other earlier guests to the programme like John Grey that all ideology is suspect and  the antithesis of art and that anyone who posits a system of thought based on a consistent philosophy of life is the equivalent of intellectual poison which will lead to the gas chambers and Gulag or at the very least bore everyone to death.

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater Jacobson makes the common mistake of concluding that the answer to bad philosophy and ideology is no philosophy or ideology at all. A distrust of intellectualism is however a perfectly understandable defense mechanism except for the unfortunate fact that it is no defense whatsoever against bad ideas because in rejecting the field of ideas completely it is left wide open to the bad philosophers and ideologues to co opt it to nefarious ends unchallenged, which is why having the field to themselves they wreak so much havoc in our culture and polity today.

The unilateral intellectual disarmament that Jacobson articulates is an abject surrender to the field of ideas and can only lead to the rushing in of a monstrous regiment  of amoral knaves and collectivist hobgoblins of the mind who will willingly occupy that empty space where reason and rational philosophy has fled.The sleep of reason brings forth monsters indeed.

What part of No don't the SNP understand?

icola Splurgeon may be personable pressing the flesh and kissing babies  but so was Hitler and Stalin.Just as the liberal media told us that there was going to be a yes to scottish independence in the recent referendum and were wrong they will no doubt be wrong about the extent of SNP success in the general election,bigging up the poisoned dwarf whose attitude to the No vote seems to be we need another referendum because the people voted the wrong way last time.

The Homeopathic mentality

The war on reason takes many forms but the growth of interest in alternative medicine and homeopathy is surely its most virulent.A person does not have to be of a mystical bent to subscribe to this phenomena but it certainly helps.If someone can accomodate the concept of an entity that has created the universe from another dimension then believing in homeopathy which has never been scientifically proven in any objective analytical tests is a walk in the park.

Accompanying an interest in alternative medicine is invariably a distrust of the pharmaceutical industy -'big pharma' as it is pejoratively called which borders on the paranoiac and feeds in to the whole conspiracy theory industry for such it now is and which narrative is, to compress: there is an unholy alliance between big business, government and the drug industry whose objective is to poison people with toxic pills and to divert them from from natural cures,such as herbals and various snake oil confections which now poliferate.

The solution to this problem in so far as it exists is to have a complete separation of medicine and State and people will be free to avail themselves of either conventional medicine or alterantive medicine and no taxes will fund either or the research thus eliminating the claim of such alarmists that the whole research field has been co opted by 'big pharma' and the regulators to boot.Conventional medicine and alternative can then fight it out in the market and no one will be forced to subsidise either one.

Reality check time

If a burglar broke into someone's house brandishing a knife or gun would the homeowner sit him down with a cup of tea and discuss the philosophical and social advantages of non coercion in human affairs? Absurd question maybe but if so how much more absurd it is to think that one can have a similar conversation with the state about its coercive criminal depradations on life and property and to suppose that going from podium to podium lecturing on freedom and capitalism is going to make a wits difference to the power elite with the full might and force of the state behind them and all the vested interests in statism they represent.

By the time a burglar is hoving into view with knoife and gun and the state is plundering and committing wholesale larceny on an industrial scale through its taxation programmes it is way too late to sit down with a nice cup of ta and debate and reason with the parties concerned which is why the objectivists have made zilch progress in reducing the power of the state despite the thousands of debates and lectures they have given to the cause and will no doubt continue to do  ad infinitum.

A better way

Imagine a world with an absence of coercion in human affairs,where no state initiates force against its civilians in the form of taxation and regulation.Such a world is possible but not being offered because a corrupt morality is keeping people enslaved namely altruism,the philosophy of sacrifice,self immolation and its roots are in religion which preaches the primitive tribalistic crude corrupt ideology of human sacrifice.

Until the human race abandons this inhuman philosophy implicity or explicity exressed in its cultural mores human beings will continue to view others and means to their ends and the results will be destruction of all human life,hope aspiration happiness and existence itself.

A new morality needs to supplant the old inhuman one of altruism and when this is done the welfare states based on coercion and state tyranny will disappear into the dustbin of history.

Can a post election capitalist party emerge in the UK?

There is a political vacuum at the heart of British politics that none of the extant parties are addressing being as they are in various degrees statist in constitution.The emergence of the Greens is the most extreme of this tendency going along a continuum with Labour,Liberal,conservatives and then Ukip at the end where it comes to a screeching halt and this is the party that has just endorsed the continuation of the socialist behemoth NHS. 

Here the vacuum begins and nature demands this abhorrence be corrected with a capitalist party that takes an uncompromising position against state coercion in the form of taxation and regulation.Now is not the time to fathom the mystery of why this vacuum exists other than to posit that statism has sucked the energy and creative possibility of any alternative amongst the intellectual academics and left the field barren and open for anyone who so chooses to occupy it with new radical revolutionary ideas of freedom liberty and individual rights in a delimited state.

The rotten corruption that is Democracy

You can have any colours you want as long as they are blue or red.That is what we are being told by the power elite in Westminster.People are being bought with their own money!They steal it from them in taxes and then use the stolen money to buy their support at the general election so that they can then go on stealing from them afterwards.THIS is the system we want to export around the world??????

An alien from outer space on being enlightened on this system of democracy would think it had landed on a planet inhabited by imbeciles.This is the best we can do?

The silence from what are loosely termed libertarians in this election circus is deafening.The enormity of the insanity of this system can be intimidating but it behoves dissenting voices to be raised or we can say bye bye to whatever is left of our liberty.

Eric pickles Evil Fat pig

Disgraceful Eric Pickles announced as part of conservative manifesto for the general election the introduction of mandatory 3 days a year leave to do voluntary work for every employee employed in a company with more than 250 workers in a move that one would expect to see more in China or Cuba than in a relatively free democratic country such as the UK..

As it is not April 1st one has to assume that the ridiculous and obscenely fat Pickles was not having a joke and that it is actually a serious proposal in which case he has clearly taken leave of his senses.Even the liberal BBC s Justin Webb sounded incredulous as he quizzed a very defensive and uncomfortable sounding Pickles over this statist imposition.The fat one wriggled, answered defensively, shiftily evasively and resorted to abuse of the interviewee but the one who clearly came across as a prize plonker was Pickles himself for surely the most absurd proposal the conservatives have ever put forward.

Red rag to a bull

In a desperate bid to appeal to women voters who apparently are immune to Farage's charms the party has announced that it will remove vat from tampons.How jammy can you get.They are also supporting the existing paternity and maternity leave which is pure statism and very regrettable.Bleeding heart liberals...

Drunken Valentine Massacre

What on earth possesses the likes of Duncan Ballayntane the multi millionaire to support Labour and specifically the Milliband proposal to scrap domicile status for tax purposes? It can surely only be confused thinking and a desire to be seen as a good person in the eyes of the public when of course it is an abject unforgiveable betrayal of all the principles Ballantyne applied to be the success he is :independence of mind,rugged determinism,entrepreneurialism, non-dependence on state assistance.

This sorry episode is a salutary reminder that when it comes to defending liberty and the limited state there will be no assitance from the very people who depend on it most,the businessmen and entrepreneurs who are totally schizophrenic in these matters,applying as they do logic and reason in their business life and throwing them away in their politic affiliations in an unfocused orgy of altruistic sentiment.

Labour Macht Frei

The news that red ed Militant wants to remove domicile status from foreigners living here is of course no surprise and is par for the labour cause which is out and out theft of private income and property.The fact that Blair has come out in support of Milliband is again no surprise as he is another EU zealot with totalitarian impulses and they both share an unwillingness to let the British people decide the matter in a referendum.

The only weapon against these statist power lusters is a clear uncompromised defence of liberty and capitalism but all we hear is an eerie deafening silence from all the other parties. This  Invasion of the body politic snatchers does not seem to alarm anyone but me....

Ukip Bringing it all back home

It is a bit rich,ironic and highly insulting for the Conservatives  to be urging their one time supporters who  have defected to Ukip to come home again like some repentant prodigal errant when it is they themselves the tories who have wandered too far from home and abandoned their values and went whoring after the EU and did everything in their power to fob the British people off when it came to confronting that evil organization.

They have been dragged kicking and screaming due to the rise of Ukip into offering a referendum which they think they can fix to a yes vote with some cosmetic EU reforms.Mixing delusion with arrogance they will find in May that their former voters are not to be bought by empty hollow promises and that they will stick to Ukip and kick the tories into the dustbin of history.

The Statism we are in

It is quite bizarre to hear the Greens being presented as something radical and new when it is just the rump of the old British communist party reconfigured and the SNP which the BBC is bigging up night and day are cut from the same cloth and are offering up statism on steroids for the witless Scots and any idiots south of the border who seek collectivism with the Splurgeon pint pot Nolan sister.

But the good news is that the SNP may wipe out Labour in Scotland which has been their petty fiefdom for too long and little sympathy for them when it was they who let the Scottish independence genie out the bottle with the setting up of the Scottish assembly  and they are paying the price for that folly.

Where does that leave the small minority of us who say to all parties a plague on your statist house and wish for the minimalist state? Out in the cold and voiceless until a Farage like figure appears and offers a vista of the sunny uplands of liberty,a delimited taxless state, where individual rights are sovereign and cannot be voted away by the mob through the ballot box,that genteel cover for all tyrannies and oppressive majoritarian collectivist states.Perchance to dream the non democratic dream.....Happy non Easter to all.

Turkeys,Meet Mr and Mrs Christmas

Just like the Jewish people who paid for their train fare to Auschwitz the British people will be standing in line  to vote for their oppressors in the modern concentration camp called democracy.How entertaining! Lets listen as our tormentors tell us what they have in store for us pathetic munchkins and how they will make our prison cells all bright and sparkly!

Please enslave us,we grovel and fawn before you o great masters of Demagog! We are but pathetic creatures mere supplicants to your will and whim,we truckle before your beneficience,we quaver and tremble in quiescent obesiance,please take everything we have and give us a scrap in return, a mere welfare morsel in recognition of our abject servility. Tax you say? How high we say.

Free us from the narrow pinched confines of reality,make a,b and 1 and 1 3.Liberate us from the tyranny of reality,tell us how much you care,save us from ourselves,pour your copious blessings upon our miserable heads for without you we would not know what day of the week it was,what to think,how to act,what to do.You have politicised and collectivised our very souls and we are grateful for it.We love you Big Brother.

More Self abuse

Because he talks in byzantine sentences and is master of the prolix one has to be able to deconstruct (to use one of his poncey words) the drivel that comes out of Will Self's mouth but in the service of humanity I step forward to perform that onerous task.Just recently he was opining that our politicians are not being honest with us as they are limited in what they can do because of the global market.Translated what this means is it would be nice if our government could control the rest of the world and impose its mad statist collectivist welfare policies globally but because it cannot we will all just have to make do with liberty instead,its regrettable but there we are.

Socialist slimeball....

General erection

This circle jerk of dismal nonentities going on 5 weeks is definitely one to miss.Only a  masochist could find such a spectacle inviting.At least 30% of the electorate will have the sense to stay home switch off and boycot this democratic freak show.

They will attempt to bore you into submission and make out there are vast swathes of ideological tracts between them but they are all in the democracy ponzi game together and you are about to be shafted yet again.Statism is the only game in town and all roads lead to serfdom.Wake up and smell the coffin and the foul stench of the death of liberty.

Religion and its Malcontents

The late great Christopher Hitchens once said that religion makes good people do bad things but I am wondering if he got that one right.Many jihadists started off their path in life as small time hoodlums and members of gangs,sexual abusers,drug takers involved in violent crime.So I am begining to think that religion allows bad people to do bad things.

These people are already psychopaths and converting to Islam merely allows them to act out their psychodramas on the world stage rather than in their local hood.What better justification and rational could any such delinquent thug have than that their criminal barbaric subhuman acts are directed  and sanctioned by God?

I have been critical of guru Roy Masters but on this one I think he was right on the money when he said that most people join religions not to deal with their anger and hate but to validate it.They actually join the religion to give their rage intellectual validation,to in effect sanctify their anger.For evidence I give you Islam in its current incarnation where anger seems to be the leitmotif alone.

In forever frothing at the mouth Islamists are only taking their cue from the prophet  - piss be upon him - who was let it be remembered an epileptic.Go figure.

The Banality of evil

The suicide is always an interesting study in pathology.Many suicides have the desire to take someone with them.This was done on a large scale in the French Alps last week.But whether it is motivated by pique,being jilted or because the suicide/homicide heard God telling him to so do the act of murder is the evil and not the motivation/excuse behind it.

All those innocents taken last week would be just as dead  whether the homicide was jilted or a jihadist,there are no degrees of evil here.Murder is the evil,not the motivation,rationale and excuse behind it.

In the case of the co pilot it is pure narcissism and self esteem deficit rather than as someone illogically claimed, an act of selfishness.This was self destruction married with homicidal intent -the very antithesis of selfishness which is about the preservation of the self  and not its anhiliation.

Gog and Demagog

Next time you hear someone extolling the virtues of democracy remind them that it produced Hitler and that we have George Galloway.Democacacy can let in demons sociopaths psychopaths and Nicola Splurgeon.Be warned.Electoral tyranny,mob rule thru the ballot box is what democracy is,that's its endgame.It is coming to a  town near you in May.In the general erection we will all be stiffed.

What is the defence against democracy but taking up of arms.No gentle persuasion is going to unseat the demagogues,fascists,communists,socialist,collectivists,nihilists, psychopaths sociopaths hiding under the name politician.Only brute force will drive them off.They think an electoral mandate gives them a licence to tyranise and they are right.

Yes,vote Ukip as they are the nearest thing to a freedom party right now but the road back from hell is long and tortuous and we have yet to take the first step.

Uneasy lies the head

The publication of Prince Charle's letters to politicians will shine a spotlight on the slobbering dauphin's meddling involvement in politics and the violation of the rule of strict political neutrality of the monarchy it represents, thus proving the total unsuitability of Charles to be king.It will furthermore reveal the mental instability of the man and the bizarre causes that animate him.

Bravo to the Guardian for doggedly pursuing this matter to the furthest legal extent which will hopefully lead to a reexamination of the British monarchy itself and start a long overdue debate on its abolition.

Would you buy a second hand religion from this man?

If  Iwas touting some business scheme that postulated that there are hidden treasures in the ether that only have to be mined to bring great wealth and that if everybody just sends me a cheque I will share with them the access to this undreamt of wealth I would probably end up prosecuted and in jail.

But how is this any different from what all the religious organizations are doing other than the sheer scale of their operations that go into the billions.They tell their followers that they have a direct line to the creator of the cosmos and if  everyone sends them a cheque they will intercede for them and bring them great peace and prosperity.

They also use fear and warn their listeners that if they do not heed their word they could end up in  a very dark place for all eternity.Is there anything more wicked and evil than this I ask you gentle readers.

This is certainly what the guru Roy Masters has been doing for half a century and it has brought him wealth indeed.He once decried the way Plain Truth religious group suckers people into funding them but whenever I listened to Masters he was forever begging for money on air and playing on people's unearned guilt for more cash.

It is rather difficult to  bring christianity into disrepute but this guy achieves it single handedly.

The Employer strikes back

We all know of unions for employees and all their rights but where is the union of employers? No, I do not mean the socialist CBI or chamber of commerce and other pathetic toothless paper tigers but a real union for employers and the first piece of business for such would be to call a General Strike! Not as in  tools down but a Tax Strike.And assert the right to run your business how you see fit,to hire and fire ditto,to pay your workers what the market will stand not what some jobsworth government bureaucrat with socialist agendas thinks is a fair price in mythical egalitarian la la land.

For centuries the mediocre have asserted the right to strike and withdraw their labour and now its time for the movers and shakers to do likewise.Lets see who needs who the most.It will not take long to determine.The sleeping giant of business needs to awake and assert the right to its life for all our sakes.

Ukip latest,So what?

Fiddling EU expenses is no big deal and is on a moral par with fiddling mafia expenses as the whole EU is one big criminal racket.So no Atkinson should not have been sacked for seeking in her words to repatriate some UK money.

My second piece of advice to Ukip following on from a previous post would be to forget trying to seal UK borders and having immigrant quotas to protect British jobs and approach it from the other end and take welfare away from the indigenous people so they would have to go out in the fields and work and do the immigrant jobs they grandly dismiss as being beneath them.

Immigrants are not stealing jobs from British workers,they are doing the jobs the latter will not do.In the absence of free money of welfare British people would have the option of working or starving.Problem solved. This would be a huge vote winner for Ukip and I urge them to adopt it forthwith.

What Ukip should be saying but isn't

Ukip does come in for a lot of negative media scrutiny which is an indication of its success in rattling the establishment but also undoubtedly a lot of the controversy around its candidates is due to the fact that as an anti establishment party it does by its very nature tend to attract individualistic mavericks who tend not to be on message in the controlled and cynical way the main parties are.So far so good but there are some important aspects surrounding the emergence of this political phenomena where I think in its policies Ukip is in serious need of radical rethinking.

Some of Ukip analysis is just plain wrong, take for example immigration.It claims there have to be caps because otherwise the public services will come under intolerable and unsustainable strain.Note it does not say with the large influx of immigration the shops,cafes,restaurants will not be able to cope with the additional customers.It is only in the public service that the problem will arise such as schools and hospitals.The logical step would be to remove the latter from the state ministration and allow them to operate in the market where innovation and money would flow and there would be more than enough schools and hospitals offering their services for all who wished to use them.

Rationing only exists in the public sector.If shops and restaurants were run by the state we would not have enough of them to service the immigrants and they would be complaining  about how their resources were being drained by immigrants.

So instead of saying we will free the public sector from its privations by turning it over to the free market Ukip seeks to solve the statist caused problem of finite public resources by another statist measure of closing the country's borders!

There are indications that within the Ukip ethos there is a fairly strong libertarian strain and maybe overtime this will become more dominant and the unfortunate more statist element as illustrated above will diminish.

Rand's alleged hypocrisy

It is claimed that Ayn Rand was a hypocrite because she allegedly used her hubbie's medicare when she was diagnosed with cancer whilst of course being all her life a passionately avowed anti welfarist.This is quite incredible.First she had her wealth stolen from her in taxes to pay for an unsolicited healthcare system and when with depleted reserves due to said depradation she could not consequently avail herself of quality private healthcare in the  market and  was forced to use  the inferior state care she was condemned for it!

This is like saying to a person you are a hypocrite because you claim to be passionately opposed to highway robbery but when that hoodlum pointed a gun at your head and demanded all your money you gave it to him!

Are her critics really saying that she should have not used the healthcare system she was forced at the point of a gun to finance?Like I say,incredible..

Bravo Bibi

Another four years and you will go at with with your customary gusto I am sure.We are expecting great things.On our shopping list: you now have a renewed mandate to kick Palestinian ass,build more settlements or rather let people do so and of course most imperatively of all take out Iran's nuclear capability.

Your victory has illustrated something that we in the UK should pay closer attention to namely how innacurate opinion polls are and more seriously how they are being manipulated for political purposes.We saw that in the recent Scottish referendum and I fear we will have the same manipulation and propaganda if there is an EU referenda.

Another UK Brain Drain on the way?

The most successful achievement of the coalition is to convince people that it has engaged in a programme of austerity when it has done nothing of the sort.It has consequently suffered all the vituperation and anathemisation for a  policy that it wasn't even following whilst reaping no financial dividends whatsoever. But the greatest condemnation of the Conservatives in the person of George Osborne is his suicidal course  of victimising and persecuting the wealth producers with his tax policies.

If this does not result in a massive haemorrhaging of business activity and an exodus of businesses to more economically favourable climates this will be a reversal of all known historic economic business principles namely that business flees from statist countries that have oppressive burdensome taxation regimes.It is a classic case of a relatively succesfull country commiting ritualised self slaughter on the altar of an unnamed creed namely that of collectivism and altruism.
