Victory For Madness

How do you now avoid justice in the UK? Just get a lawyer to say that if you are subjected to legal process you will kill yourself.Centuries of British jurisprudence demolished in seconds by one of the worst disastrous home secretaries in living memory.And invoking the Human Rights Act to do it too.

The look of sheer incredulity on the face of the American commentator on ch 4 said it all when listening to a Conservative apologist of his catastrophic decision.

The argument about the crime being committed on British soil is of course the worst sort of sophistry.It is as if Mc Kinnon had created a long mechanical arm from his bedroom that stretched across the Atlantic,guided it into the Pentagon,deleted files etc,withdrew the mechanical arm back again and claimed he could not be extradited because he never physically set foot on American soil!

Just because you can commit criminal acts by the click of a mouse does not imply immunity from the consequences.The same results were achieved than if he had physically breached the Pentagon walls and broken into the building.The added irony is that we are quite content to have people extradited to EU countries with far less rigorous legal system than the US which is similar to ours and not based on insane Napoleonic principles.

Christopher And His Fiends

What happens when the Left falls out?I don't know, but it can be very entertaining! Like an existential frisson,the divided Left is always good news for us freedom and liberty lovers.Its a bit like I imagine what it must have felt like when the Soviet Communists and the German Nazis were slaughtering one another on an industrial scale.Just sit back and enjoy the spectacle.It always amuses me how mad Leftists know that they can no longer truckle and fawn to the old Soviet union but they can express the love that dare not speak its name in disguised form by eulogising over the heroic battle the Soviets fought against the Nazis in Stalingrad or wherever it was.

Yesterday it was Media Hassan who was caught up in an argument with a fellow Leftist Guardian feminist on radio 4 Today programme.I have not enjoyed an exchange on the radio so much for a very long time.Hassan dared recently to take a critical position on abortion and apparently has been excoriated and kicked about like an football across the pages of the media ever since.Do I feel any sympathy for him? None whatsoever.Conservatives and pro-freedom Capitalists have been brutally assaulted by the Left for the longest time.Now lets see how a leftist likes it when he is subject to ad hominmen abuse and unwarranted character assassination for daring to deviate from the standard received wisdom of the Left.

Christopher Hitchens suffered the same fate when he dared to support the war on terror and Bush.He went from hero to zero overnight.Him I do have sympathy with because he was a great man,a brilliant journalist and a person of principle unlike Hassan who is a vile attack dog of the left and who has now at long last got a taste of his own medicine.

Someone Has Blundered

Looking at an old book of 1922 poetry of my grandparent's I read the inscription 'awarded for good conduct'.A schoolchild today would probably consider being given a 500 page book of Tennyson's poems punishment for bad conduct. We were told as children that gran had to be carried to school piggy back because she was that poor she did not have any shoes.Even into her 80's she could recite pages of poetry by heart so she had obviously benefited from her gift.Today's children are not made of such stuff I fear.They may have ipads and God knows what else but I know who is truly impovershed and it wasn't my gran.Someone indeed has blundered.

Elizabeth Barrat Browning Syndrome

A friend once coined the phenomenon Elizabeth Barret Browning Syndrome.For those who may not know she was a poet and lost in love and so took to her bed -permanently. The friend said what would happen if Barrat Browning had lived in a Welsh mining village and the only choice open to her was going down the mine or starving?She would be up before the lark and queueing for her turn down the mine.

I think the same about todays welfariat.Most of the people who are unemployed tend to be those who are awfully particular about what job they will and will not do.If they have to choose between wiping someone's backside in a care home or drawing the dole you don't have to know much about human nature to know which one many will choose.

When the State comes along and gives them that precise choice small wonder we have a major incentive and motivation problem amongst the unemployed.I put out adverts for job vacancies and no one one replies and yet we are told we are in the worst recession for decades.Something is not right about this picture.I know of people who are on benefits and they have not been pushed into taking a job or losing benefits.This so-called reform of the welfare system seems to be more rhetorical than real methinks.

Within A Budding Gove

I knew Mr Gove was a class act.Fresh on the heels of sorting out the mess wrought by Socialised education that has laid countless generations of youth low,blighted aspirations and created social desolation on an industrial scale, he is now turning his powerful sights on that other arch enemy of promise the EU and giving it due warning: shape up or we ship out.Cometh the hour,cometh the man.

There is no hope of course for this morally depraved institution with is moribund death grip on the windpipe of Europe,there is no hope that it will suddenly see the error of its ways and reform its institutions any more than a scorpion will stop stinging.It can't help it,that's its nature.All we can do is assist its terminal decline by walking away proudly and saying,no more dane geld,goodbye and good riddance.

How dare they award a peace prize to this obscenity and tell us it has stopped wars (ie German caused wars), tie us up in their tyranical yoke and seek our moral imprimatur for the favour.Screw you EU,may your death be swift and rid us of your malevolent curse!

EU Wins Nobel Peace Prize!

Saywhat? Next year's Nobel Peace Prize will go to Iran for its peaceful nuclear programme? Or,the Taliban for promoting harmony and pacific love and benign will to all men? The age of satire is now officially dead.It just cannot compete with straight reporting of the news.Greece lies in economic ruins the whole misbegotten EU project is in tatters -give the authors of this desolation a prize!

This Is The BBC

On A Point Of View BBC radio 4, a 10 minute opinion piece this week will be.Yet another left wing oriented person called Martin Jaques,more of whom at the end.Shall we explore why this tendency to only have left wing people on the BBC is, or shall we look into why cats chase mice or dogs bark.Because of its very nature the BBC cannot be anything other than left wing-liberal.It is possible for a newspaper to be Left or Right wing but it is practically impossible for a public service broadcasting service to be anything other than left wing.Why would it reflect a pro-capitalist ethos when its very existence is predicated upon an ideology that supports a State run broadcasting service ie mixed economy-socialist?To be anything other than what it is would be like proverbial turkeys voting for christmas

I do not complain about the fact that the BBC is a left wing institution,there is a place for left of centre oriented broadcasting station -its just that it should not be funded out of taxation via the licence fee(those who argue that it is not a tax but a fee are engaged in mere semantics).

Then there are those who try risibly and absurdly to deny that the BBC is tendentious but then what else can they do,for if they acknowledge the blindingly obvious fact namely that the instiution is biased the gig will be up and privatisation would be inevitable So they must keep up this absurd fiction about political neutrality.The very idea is a myth as no one can conceal their political inclinations any more than they can conceal their body language -it leaks from them every time they open their mouths.Returning to Martin Jaques.How many people when listening to his first broadcast about China on the Point of View programme will know that for years he was editor of Marxism Today the now defunct magazine?At least he will find the BBC a comfortable spiritual home from home.

Love Labour's Loss

It is always left to the Conservatives to clean out the orgean stables from Labour's financial debaucheries.And then they have to put up with the endless carping from the very authors of the devastation ie Labour.'There is no money left' they said and that uncharacteristic unguarded confession should be the millstone round Labour's necks and ensure that they never get their pilfering purloining kleptocratic hands on the nation's coffers again.

No doubt about it Cameron cuts a dash and hopefully taxes as well.He has nailed the Labour canard that when you allow the mugged victim known as the taxpayer to crawl home with a little bit of small change left in his wallet this cannot in the world of logic and reason be referred to as a 'tax giveaway'.To try and pull this one is dishonest,and frankly an abuse of language on an Orwellian scale.

Free Speech May Not Survive The Present Assault

Someone has I think been sentenced to jail for making comments about the tragic missing girl April and I think we should be more concerned about this than we appear to be.No matter how obscene the comments may have been short of advocating and promoting abuse of children - people must be allowed free speech and not risk being carted off to jail for offending sensibilites or just being downright obnoxious and offensive.As I say I do not know the details of this case but it does appear to signal a dangerous trend of late of intolerance by the powers that be of people expressing unpleasant views.

The danger is that with all the justified heightened sense of outrage and despair over this tragic missing girl people will be reluctant to defend someone who makes offensive comments relating to it.This will be all the authorities require to smuggle in a law that will inevitably end up encompassing the expression of any unpopular views and set a dangerous precedent of intolerance of the free expression of opinions and beliefs.

Ex Post Facto Hysteria

Is it acceptable to judge past crimes ie those committed in some cases 50 years ago if just unearthed, by today's mores and standards?We try and do this but I cannot help but think it is wrong headed and rather ridiculous excercise.Historians started this trend with historical revisionism,re trying centuries old cases by current values and it cannot but be a redundant endeavour.I think this is exactly happening with the Saville Row.

We have to understand that the past truly is a foreign country and they do things differently there.Footballers usued to carve each other up -remember Chelsea in the early 70's and it was accepted as the norm but today no players would get away with such wanton and conscious brutality.

The same goes for attitudes towards sex.It was very liberal and permissive.Things were done and people looked the other way.It was wrong but it has to be seen in the context of when it was done and within the contemporary cultural norms and their implicit or explicit assumptions and not wrenched out of its time and revisited and judged by the light of today's politically correct orthodoxy.

This is not in any way is not to condemn Saville's actions but merely to set them in context and avoid this rather ridiculous smug and self indulgent moral posturing which too many in the media seem to have succumbed to.

Gaucho Marx Wins

Communism has its appeal to this day and populist politicians love to buy electorates with other people's money. Chavez has bought the Chav's vote and is the darling of that dwindling band of Leftist fellow travellers in the West,or should we say they are not dwindling but they just have fewer Marxist despots to fawn and truckle to.This morning the likes of George Galloway and Ken Livingstone will be delighted that Chavez has secured another term in Venezuela.The rest of the civilized world will probably just sigh in resignation at the continuing dogged credulity of the crackers Venezuelan electorate in perpetuating the dead and clapped out ideology of 20th century Communism.

You Could Be A Conspiracy Theorist If..

1.You have the capacity to believe 7 impossible things before breakfast

2.You hate Capitalism

3.You think you are part of an elite cognoscenti,(as opposed to all the 'deluded,uninformed 'sheeple').

4.You are paranoid

5.You are a sad loser

6.You've taken too many drugs

7.You have vague inert thwarted aspirations

8.You have an inflated sense of entitlement

9.You are regular devotees of the Max and Stacey show

10.You need cockamayne theories to fuel your rage

Stephanie Loves Karl

I only saw two episodes of the BBC Moneymasters series with Stephanie Flanders,one on Hayek the other on Marx.It was noticeable that she was enamoured of the latter and not the former, quelle surprise.The fawning tone was vomit inducing.So many on the left are Marxists under the skin, believing that his theory - which has been exploded by countless folk - holds the key to the money problem.

The worst aspect of this is that the whole programme was based on a false premise namely that it is the capitalist system that is in crisis.This is factually incorrect and fallacious.The mixed economy is in crisis.If capitalism in the undiluted laissez faire form ever existed it was eroded and etiolated from the late 19th century onwards incrementally to the present day where we have a full-blown mixed economy.

Once this is grasped -and it is a palpable fact that we do have a mixed economy, the whole assault on capitalism is exposed as a act of dishonest deception and cynical opportunism by the Left.In a real capitalist system there would be no bailing out of banks for a start.There would be no taxation and no welfare state etc etc.

No,this is in no way shape or form capitalism and it is the failure of the media and education system, both captured institutions by the Left,that has deliberately prevented people from grasping this.

Virgin On Sad

One does not have to be a conspiracy theorist to wonder if Labour deliberately made a mess of rail privatisation in order to discredit the latter but whether it was that or sheer incompetence it sure remains a mess and the latest action by the government in rexamining the tender process involving Branson and others shows how bad the State is in these matters.It is good Branson will get another opportunity to prevail in his bid but rather sad that he claimed he is not in it for the money and the profits will go towards research into renewable energy and charity.Apologising for the money motive is a bad example to budding entrepreneurs and it would be nice if Branson and co stopped doing it.

From Russia - With Love?

Noticed I get a lot of visitors from Russia.Either it is Putin keeping an eye on me or perhaps the Max Keiser incident a few weeks ago when I critiqued RT? A country that gave us Dostoyevsky,Lermonotov,Gogol,Tolstoy, Checkhov,Bulgakov, Nabokov, Solzhenitsyn,AYN RAND! has greatness written into its dna.Pity about the Communism lol. Lets hope it will not be back to the future and the old Soviet dog returns to its vomit.Watch this space.

Marxist Klingonism

Class warfare and envy served up by Mr Weird Red Ed militant at the Labour party conference.Now channeling Disraeliesque One Nation Communism.Comprehensive failure.

Jim'll Fix It

Of course I have no way of knowing whether Jimmy did what he is alleged to have done but if it turns out the BBC were sitting on known information and did nothing this will be a major breach on its part.Contrast this with the way Jonathon King was mercilessly hounded and demonised and you cannot help thinking that King was an easy target because he was known to have staunch Conservative views whereas Jimmy was the Establishment's darling with his politically correct social do gooding and was therfor considered akin to saintliness.

It was the astute Louis Theroux who first highlighted in one of his famed documentaries Saville's defensivness and secretiveness and there was always something rather dodgy about Saville with suggestions of a darker hinterland which now it seems is emerging into the light of day one year after his death and near deification.

Big Brother Has Ways Of Making You Save

How sad to see the great Theo Paphritis taking part in a government advertisement heralding its latest incursion into people's personal affairs with its enforced pension programme being rolled out from today.To be fair to him he did look a bit sheepish,as if someone was pointing a gun at his back whilst delivering his announcement.Maybe a mega rich entrepreneur like Theo will not suffer too much financially from this change but smaller businesses will be crippled by it to say nothing of the cost incurred in terms of administering the bureaucracy.

The country is on its knees and the government's response is to burden business with yet more Red tape regulation and to continue a very long trend of turning private enterprise into just another extension and conduit for intrusive and invasive government welfare programmes.

Religion And Its Psychopathology

Someone asserts on his blog that religion is the bedrock of the rule of law.Bizarre when you consider that if you tried to count how many people have been slaughtered in the name of religion you would not know where to begin and it would never end.The only reason most people no longer kill in the name of Christianity is because it has lost its power over the people,its day has gone and it has been supplanted by another religion doing the same old things it used to do namely Izlam.

Still, where Christianity does still exert power it uses it to abuse children and then seek to cover its tracks re the catholic church revelations scandal.Human beings seem to have the need to tell themselves fairy tales written in their DNA,every race and nation under the sun has its own religion,Gods,God,myths,shibboleths and one's religion is almost entirely based on geographical circumstance: if you are in China you are Buddhist,India-Hindu,Israel-Jewish and so it goes.

Then we have sectionalism.The last time anyone counted there were two thousand Christian sects alone and they each claim they are the true and only one.Human beings seem as I say to have been telling each other tall tales since the earliest recording of mankind,libraries are full of books,replete to the rafters of tales,myths,fables,allegories.Its what humans do.Even the Bible turns out to be a plagiarisation of previous texts which featured tales of floods,virgin births,resurrections etc.

Mainly religion is and always has been about the power to control others through fear,the Churches were the first instance of totalitarianism and it was about controlling people in this life by threatening them with hellfire in the next if they did not fall in line.Human beings do have the capacity to be irrational,to be riven with superstition and they embrace the supernatural to avoid having to take responsibility for their own actions,it is an act of moral abnegation and thus in essence the ultimate moral depravity.

Peter Hitchens Channels Marx

It's good to have these things out in the open rather than subject to speculation and supposition but even I am quite shocked by Peter Hitchen's latest essay into Marxist thought on his Mail blog where he quotes Marx at length in what can only be described as a rant and harrangue against Capitalist progress and innovation and Peter marvels at its prophetic nature.Peter hates progress too you see and would rather we went back to a pre industrial idlyl presumably where there are no horrible cars, people go around on bicycles -his favourite mode of transport,there is no pollution,folk know their place and go in fear and trembling of the Lord and there are definitely NO Sunday opening laws.

With his desire for rail nationalisation and all of the above it is hard to see how even the broad church of Conservatism would find room for the likes of the delightfully batty and eccentric Mr Hitchens but as he is a self confessed ex Trotskyite now-Conservative one is left marvelling on the profound inefficacy of his conversion.

Old Labour Dog Returns To It's Vomit

Red Ed Militant is returning to his roots by invoking the spirit of '45 when Britain first went Socialist and its cradle to the grave enslavement officially began. From defeating German Socializm to embracing British Socializm,this was surely Britain's darkest hour.Yet the Marxist reared Mr Milliband thinks it was great,he has a poster on his wall of the architect of this miserable misbegotten Welfare construct Clement Atlee himself.

You have to look carefully at his portrait because Mr Atlee bore an uncanny resemblance to Lenin and this of course is just where the similarities begin.Both of them were consumed by a toxic nihilistic ideology of State supremacy over the individual, both shared a hatred of Capitalism and a wish to destroy it once and for all.Many Labour members had close links with the Soviet Union and looked to it for intellectual inspiration and direction.

Yet Mr Milliband is misty eyed about this appalling period in British history where the people voted for their own serfdom and where only the prophet George Orwell could see the writing on the wall when he penned his masterpiece 1984 which it turns out was simply the year 1948 reversed,a satire and terrible warning of the shape of things to come under the Big Brother State.

Back to the future with Old Labour, with a centralist command style economics, an I'm alright Jack union militancy and Labour Leftists taxing what is left of the economy into oblivion -what's not to like?

New Totalitarian Kid On The Bloc

The admirable Hitchens asserts on his Mail blog that Britain does not need Trident Nuclear weapons any more because all the bogeys have been slain.We can turn our warheads into ploughshares. But there is a little Hitch.Izlam.The new totalitarian kid on the bloc.Maybe the Soviets decided that it was better not be Red than dead but will these kamikaze muslims feel the same about their cult? Think so.All the while the mullahs can send their foot soldiers out to be martyred they are quite happy but if they were faced with nuclear anhiliation they would no doubt think twice before acting.We need our nukes to make sure they do just that.

Silly Mr Hitchens,take your place alongside the others before who thought the final war had been fought.Besides he claims the Soviet Union will never return,we have buried it.More dissonnance I fear. Even here barely a day goes by without the expression of Communist Socialist sentiment amongst our liberals.We have adopted part of the Communist manifesto with our progressive income tax,the State is bigger than ever before.

Human nature has not changed since the end of the cold war.Izlam is the new Communism and as Iran stands on the brink of acquiring nukes only the MAD would suggesting disarming.

Hitler Speaks At The UN

Armadinnerjacket comes to the UN,makes his customary anti semitic death to Israel rant and America does -Nothing! This Hitler is on American soil.Why don't they arrest him,charge him with war crimes,cart him off to Guatanamo,torture and execute him? America is in paralysis mode.Instead of being behind Israel it gives the Iranians all the time they need to secure their nuclear facilities.Strike while the Iran is hot should be the watchword but of course with Obummer in charge it's all systems stop.

Meanwhile the minister for railways in Pakistan puts a fatwa on the film maker who brought us the much appreciated anti Mohumud youtube and the world does Nothing.Surely this imbecile should at least be drone-targetted?

And now this craven appeasement to evil even manifests itself in the Daily Mail of all places.Another customary attack on Salman Rushdie for daring to write Satanic Verses just to draw attention to himself as the journalist claims and bemoans how it cost the UK £13 million to protect Rushdie from the fatwa.No it cost far more than that.By refusing to take Iran on for defacto declaring war against the UK Iran was emboldened and a fairly straight line can be drawn from that appeasement to 9/11.The Rushdie affair and the mishandling therof cost the world dear and continues to do so to this very day for shame.

The March Of The Catastrophilliacs

The peddaling of conspiracy theories is an industry in itself.Whether you work for the mainstream media or operate on the fringes in David Icke country where they do things differently, you do so to pay the bills.The only real difference is the end is nigh catastrophiliacs claim they are operating in a high minded way, on a higher plane to save humanity from itself but when this obvious self serving rationale is put to one side the bottom line is,well,the bottom line.

I do listen quite regularly to the con theorists and what is noticeable is the rambling non sequitir nature of their discourse.You get one construction overlayered with the next, invariably contradicting the former, on top of which yet further are piled creating a veritable melange of baseless theorising extrapolatives signifying nothing .

Books,dvd,TV programmes abound proving that feeding people's paranoia is becoming big business,as witness by the fact that Mr Icke now fills large stadiums.The vacuum left by the mass exodus from organised religion has now it seems been filled by New Age credulity.

The White Queen's Off Her Head

As this is supposed to be a constitutional monarchy with the latter as mere figurhead what is the queen doing receiving the PM every week for private consultations the details of which cannot be legally divulged as they rightly should? We know the mad would-be King Charles is forever despatching missives to ministers with his meddling prattling crackerbarrel greenist interventions which of course is a complete violation and abuse of convention and protocol but the latest revelations by BBC reporter Gardiner show how this practice is not just confined to the batty prince.

The queen too is on on the act and this exposes the hollowness of the pretence of non involvement by the royals in British politics.The unseen power on the throne indeed.

The Psychopathology Of Modern Politics

To pursue the theme from the previous post I pose the following question: what sort of person gets involved in modern politics? For the most part activism and radical politics is the preserve of the Left and that is for another discussion but in national politics ie politicians one can discern a certain archetype,a pathology at work that is instructive to examine.If altruism is a product of low self esteem ie we give to acquire approval and status as a caring compassionate person what can be said of those who in politics seek self esteem and moral cachet by giving away other people's money?!

Values normally have to be earned but in the human realm as well indeed in the natural world living beings can mimic certain types of behaviour in order to in effect steal values from others.Creatures can assume an innocuous unthreatening exterior to deceive unsuspecting creatures into thinking they are harmless and when close enough they pounce and devour their victim.

Plants and creatures can camouflage themselves in order to disguise their true intent.So it is in the human realm.We call such behaviour sociopathy or psychopathy.

The world of politics is not just replete with such characters but in its present construction actually facilitates and attracts such human pathology.For in modern politics the prize goes to the party that can most convincingly persuade its electorate that it possesses all the human characteristics the culture most values ie compassion,caring,giving.Thus the more taxation a party can extract,the more 'benefits' it can promise blanking out of course where such 'benefits' derive from-the more popular and successful the political party making the biggest promises will be.

Thus can it be seen that we have a political system that mirrors the predatory dog eat dog system in nature albeit dressed up in semantics and sophistry.

Compassion By Proxy

I've spoken in the past about a favourite political pastime I have termed 'vicarious philanthropy',ie the giving away of other people's money in welfare or foreign aid.It is the stock in trade of all corrupt politicians who like to cut a moral dash on the political stage and win votes by vying with their opponents as to who can give the greatest amount of others people's money away.It is such an obscene evil it is hard to get one's head around the kind of amoral vacuum that the perpetrators of this fraud must inhabit.

In order for this organised looting of the people to be pulled off successfully it has to be accompanied by an artfully constructed language of morality so such words as compassion are deployed thus making it hard for any opponents of this wholesale plunder to oppose it on moral grounds.It will follow as night follows day that any abuse of freedoms by a government on its people will be automatically accompanied by an abuse of the english language in order to facilitate the smooth execution of said abuse and so is it here.

Homage To Catatonia

As a footnote to my recent pieces on the evil of Izlam I just note that people who are quick to anger as muslims clearly are, are surely contravening a principle that most religions teach as a fundamental,namely the exertion of self control.It is observable that Christians do not react to provocation when their faith is being routinely assaulted by all and sundry.They keep a dignified counsel and the idea that they would threaten the ridiculers of their faith with violence let alone death would be unthinkable.And yet these violent hysterical juvenile paroxysms of rage in response to every slight - real or imagined - against their prophet convey the distinct impression that muslims doubt their own beliefs and are not confident in the verity of their professed religion.(Small wonder!)Dignity and grace are surely the lodestars of any religion worthy of respect and yet in this basic fundamental and rudimentary precondition of faith Izlam is singularly and starkly lacking.

These are my beliefs and if you don't respect them I will kill you is hardly the response of a civilised man and yet this is the default position of Izlam to any criticism and that being so it is the reason I do not believe Izlam has any place in the civilized world and should be banished to the outer reaches of the earth.

What lapse of journalistic judgement it was for the BBC radio 4 to invite an Izlamist on to the Today programme who refused outright to condemn the imposition of death threats directed towards any purveyors of anti Izlamic sentiment in the media despite all the legendary persistence of John Humphries to extract it from him.He should have been ejected from the building,interview over as soon as he crossed that line but of course being the BBC he was treated with the same respect as any other normal interviewee on the programme.As Lenin once observed of his liberal supporters, these useful idiots would sell us the rope to hang them with.

Churchill, Greatest Conservative?

Ok it has to go to Churchill not so much for helping to destroy German Socialism but for pointing out that English Socialism would lead to the same loss of liberty and freedom for which he was roundly vilified but prophet-like turned out to be correct.He also wrote a brilliant expose of Izlamism which again showed how visionary and prophetic he was on a truly Orwellian scale.

Liberals,Communist crime Syndicate

The only good thing to come out of the coalition is the total discrediting and destruction of the Liberal party and the complete toxification of the brand.The conference season is upon us and the liberals are indulging in their customary pastime of attacking the wealth creators and threatening them with persecution and visits from State heavy mob taxation vigilantes.Like the Mafia that goes round pillaging businesses the Liberals are threatening to hunt down the entrepreneurs with their tax goon squads and rob them of the fruits of their labour to fund liberal welfare programmes.Clegg's disgrace and public humiliation is just reward for heading a party motivated by malice and hatred of the productive.

Keep The Aspiration Flying

Advice from Richard Branson to would-be entrepreneurs: DON'T GO TO BUSINESS SCHOOL! Well,from someone who was a semi-literate,semi-numerate high school drop-out and has become one of the most successful business men of his generation I guess he knows wherof he speaks.Makes you wonder why people waste so much money on courses that are guaranteed only to part the students from their money.Get out there and run a business says Sir Richard, and learn by doing.For once practice comes before theory.In an ideal world all the schools would teach properly but this is not the case and the school of life is where it's at.

Muslims,Thin Skinned Rats

A muslim day of anger is a redundancy as for muslims every day is a day of anger.Outrage is their default mode.French cartoon depictions of their prophet - piss be upon him - have upset them.Well diddums,suck it up,its called freedom, clearly an alien concept to these primitive dark age troglodytes.It has almost become a duty for liberty loving folk everywhere to ridicule Islam and muslims just to show them that they will not silence free speech or intimidate us into self censorship.

Izlam is a death worshipping cult and needs to be exposed.Its pretensions as a world religion should be lampooned,its leader shown for the suspect character he was and no respect given to this evil brainwashing cult.

Yes the crazed adherents of this nonsesnse will be out in force rampaging and frothing at the mouth just as their false prophet was wont to do.The rest of the world should look on and laugh at its absurdity and send a clear message that this behaviour is infantile,delinquent and will not silence its critics but make them more determined to face down this crude primitive anti-human death cult of Izlam.

The Mitts Are Off

The way the BBC Today programme reported the video recording of Romney castigating the welfariat you would think he was caught confessing to beating his wife or something worse.Liberals have the capacity to be shocked by the expression of common sense and the reason of the man in the street and are quite affronted by it.

It is just a plain fact that most voters on welfare vote Democrat.It is the party of the dependants just as in the UK.Most voters on the dole will vote Labour to get more benefits.It is such a corrupt system but the Left depend upon it for their very survival.

There are no votes in independence which is probably why the Left favour a useless education system that leaves many unequipped for the world of work and thus dependant on the State for their survival.More Labour voting fodder.

Rather than putting American voters off Mit's railing against welfare bums should be the very reason he makes it to the White House come November.

Towards A Libertarian Tomorrow?

An encouraging sign on the British political landscape in the last decade or so, not in itself but in what it betokens, is the rise of small parties challenging the hegemony of the big 3 and snapping at their heels electorally.Parties such as UKIP,the Greens,BNP,even Respect all indicate that there is room in British politics for non mainstream parties to make their mark if they resonate with enough people who are sick of the status quo.The only political movement conspicuous by its total absence on the political landscape is a libertarian one.This is a mystery I have not delved into but it is a perplexing one.I have no idea what percentage of the population would respond positively to a libertarian party but it is sorely needed.

One would imagine that such a party in promising radical abolition of most taxes with an endgame of their total elimination would attract a lot of financial support from business big and small and even more from people who feel as they indeed must that the State has just got way too big and none of the other parties are even discussing this let alone proposing any reduction in the size of the behemoth state.I have never discussed this with any libertarians as I know of none but again I wonder and am baffled at their silence and non involvement in the political process.

How To Defeat And Destroy Izlam

Countries across the world have succumbed to the threat and terrorism of Izlam.Wherever it goes it strikes terror into the hearts of weak psychotic nations who have been gulled into believing that tolerance of evil is good.With the support of liberals Izlam has infiltrated into every country across the globe and like a malevolent toxic virus it has overcome all natural resistance to its virulent strain of death.People have doubted their own reason and sanity and have allowed themselves to be intimidated by the evil of Izlam and its minatory threats against them.

The unholy aliance of liberals with Izlam has swept all before it.Countries with a former impeccable record of adherence to liberal values have fallen like dominoes before the onslaught of Izlamic intimidation and abandoned those values for censorship,fear and silence.In the UK citizens can be arrested for even criticizing the evil death cult of Izlam.Communism and Socialism once considered defunct ideologies have joined forces with Izlam to destroy all human values and set people up for totalitarian rule.When Izlam triumphs of course its liberal useful idiots will be put to the sword.

The only way to defeat Izlam is to understand its power which is the power of intimidation.Not responding to the pressure to submit and conform,standing unmoved at the insanity of Izlam and its threats will destroy the power it has over its victims.Once the psychopatholgy of Izlam is exposed it will be very easy to deal with it.This may or may not involve additional action including the nuclear option.Its time to start terrorising the terrorists.

Izlam's Useful Idiots

The Left has got a long inglorious history of sympathising with totalitarian regimes most notably the Soviet Union and for best part of the last century it was the poster boy of every liberal wet dream.The Labour party had links with the Soviets,barely ever criticised it,Left wing intellectuals drooled over it,both Shaw and Wells were hugely impressed with the Socialist experiment and apart from the sole and notable exception of Malcolm Muggerdige of all people writing in the Manchester Guardian in the 1930's after a trip to the Socialist paradise of Russia and exposing the lies and Potemkin village grand deception, the Left almost to a man and woman saw the Soviet Union as the living embodiment of the Socialist utopia.

Now of course in a desperate and cynical act of hysterical revisionism you can hardly find a single fellow traveller who would admit to ever being enamoured with the USSR.To listen to them they were all violently opposed to the whole thing from the start.Anyway when 1989 rolled round and the Berlin Wall fell and crumbled and with it the Soviet dream the Left were bereft and did not know what to do with themselves.It was pretty much all over for them by then and the 90's saw the election of Blair and with it the consolidation of centrist policies and the ditching of clause 4 and the Left were routed and retreated into a sulking sullen silence.

It seemed like history had dealt the Left a final blow from which it would never recover.Then came 9\11 and they could hardly believe their luck or contain themselves.Before the dust had even settled on what were the twin towers it was gloating in public,America had brought it upon itself,had got a bloody good hiding.Historians,philosophers pundits all lined up to critique the US and soon were to join forces in the huge anti war demonstrations and so began the Blair demonisation and of course, the Left's pro Izlam coalition was born.The Left useful idiots, phoenix-like had risen from the ashes of history and had found another totalitartian monster to grovel to to.

Royal's Bare faced Cheek

The latest monarchy Kate furore does not show the institution in a good light.When the royals stop funding their lavish lifestyle with tax payers money they can have back their privacy.Until then the public owns their ass,and all points northwards.

Rabid Izlam:Elephant,Room

Still the pathological denial persists.It's just a few hotheads who in no way represent true Izlam.Yeah right.Everytime another astrocity occurs in the Middle East the same old line is intoned mantra fashion and no one believes it.There is no more a moderate Izlam than there is a moderate Nazism.Obama and Hillary Clinton come from a long line of masochist liberals who refuse to confront the reality of what Izlam is and represents - total human barbarisation.

Izlam is the ne plus ultra of nihilism,the desire for the destruction of all values and a return to the dark ages where brute emotion and blind worship of a supernatural entitity is demanded of sheep like people on pain of death at refusal.It was headed if we are to believe the records by an epileptic murdering paedophile.Its adherents betray all the characteristics of a cult,slavish obediance,mindless conformity and a willingness to sacrifice their lives to defend their mad cultic beliefs.

Wherever Izlam goes,death, carnage and genocide is never far behind.The rabid followers take their cue from the epileptic leader who had a penchant for little girls.Contrast this with the moral virtue of a Christ and we see the yawning chasm between Izlam and Chritianity although I hold no allegiance to any religion these days.

Ignorance and a complete denial of individual rights characterises Izlam.Where Western values teach dialogue and debate Izlam still knows recourse only to the edge of a sword.It has had no reformation,it is unreconstructed and poses the greatest threat to civilization.Until we recognize these facts and stop rationalising the barbaric evil of Izlam we will only encourage further atrocities.

The Arab Spring Time for Hitler should wake us all up to the folly of aiding any arabic country in the deluded belief that they want secular liberal values just like us.This weeks event in Libya should surely put pay to that liberal delusion.

'Christianity Began As A Cult' (BBC)

Could this possibly be true -that Christianity began as a cult? It was asserted confidently as fact on a BBC history programme about Britain.Say for a moment it was true then the only conclusion could possibly be that it still is a cult.Distance in time does not change the essential nature and origin of things ie longevity does not bestow upon stupid ideas any moral or intellectual legitimacy.A fallacy uttered a thousand years ago is still a fallacy today.The number of adherents a particular idea or philosophy attracts does not lend it any more validity either.Everyone used to believe the world was flat and those who said otherwise were considered heretics and were persecuted but they just turned out to be correct.(Incidentally the ones doing most of the the persecuting were religious.)So I think it is safe to conclude that yes,a) Chritianity did begin as a cult and b) it still is.Amen.

Time, distance,the hypnotic suggestion and power of authority,tradition and social conformity have all conspired to intimidate folk into believing something that were it appearing for the first time today would be summarily dismissed as the worst sort of cultic hysteria and supernatural doggerel and charlatanism promulgated by fraudsters and mountebanks playing on the credulity of the sperstitious masses - much in the same way that psychics ,tarot card readers,chanellers and astrologers do to this very day.

Boris The Big Government Tory

Borris is boasting about the £3 bilion plus he stole from the taxpayers to fund the Olympic games claiming it was money well spent and displaying the kind of cavalier attitude to State theft you would normally only expect from some potentate in a third world Marxist State in South America.This is the great electoral prospect many desperate frustrated and delluded Tories appear to be banking their hopes on in a post Cameron world which apparently for them cannot come a day too soon.

Crackerbarrel airport schemes,rumoured standing in a bi election in Richmond to replace the mad Green crazed Zac Goldsmith,it appears many tories would prefer Boris - cult of personality loose canon- Johnson to someone who displays principles and actually believes in something.

As if in harmony with Borris a union boss was crowing about how the olympic games demonstrated how the State could deliver even better than the market omitting to mention how his union had threatend to ruin the games if his mafia mates in the public transport system weren't bunged piles of money to avert a strike.If you steal money from someone and put on a very large party for all the down and outs you can find and then claim that it was all a huge success and demonstrated how theft was a good thing most people would think you were insane but this is in effect what both Borris and the Union bosses are arguing.Perhaps they both calculate correctly that the public have been too bedazzled by the spectacle to realise that they will have to pick up the tab for the bread and circuses of the last month.

Saint Peter Hitchens Is Wrong On Drugs

Much as I admire him for being a stout and sturdy defender of real Conservatism I have to say on the drugs issue I believe Mr Hitchens could not be more wrong.I would have thought that for even an ex Marxist like him the degree of State intervention required to police what substances people ingest would have given him pause but apparently not.Perhaps when one discovers that the admirable Peter also favours renationalisation of the railways (and perhaps the post office as well?)it is not so inconsistent after all.

It is noticeable that both sides of the political aisle have their own pet issues and areas where they favour State interventionism and neither are known for any consistency here.Tories tend to be broadly speaking non interventionist in economic areas but favour meddling in personal behaviour matters whereas the Left are more liberal in the latter but urge meddling in economic areas.Only libertarians are totally intellectually consistent and of course they are always conspicuous by their absence in UK politcs.

The argument for drug liberalisation has to be made on the individual rights issue and not the ridiculous one of being a way of reducing crime.You could argue on those grounds that burglary should be de-criminalised! It is the anti Big Brother argument that should prevail and which policy has led to the ridiculous failed and doomed prohibitionist approach that has had such comprehensively dismal results with historical parallels that only the ignorant can be unaware of.

Conservatism: No Such Thing As Individualism!

In the Deep End section of Conhome is an article repudiating Conservative support of individualism and it is a must read for all those who mistakenly hold that Conservatism and individualism are synonymous or in any way compatible.Of course being a Conservative attempt at 'philosophy' it serves up the usual mush of confused ideas in an almost deliberate attempt to obfuscate and confound the issue but if you are expert as I have become in decoding Conservative-speak the implications of said article are clear enough.Once individualism is obliquely critiqued in this fashion the way lies open for Conservatives to justify State intervention and big government solutions be it in taxation,regulation and general all round State meddling.Belittling and downgrading the role of individualism in the context of freedom cannot but have this corollary.

This is one more floating of trial balloons for Conservatism in its steady inexorable drift to the Left and should surely serve as a warning and reminder to any prospective Conservative voters that a vote for this party is a vote for more State,more controls and more government.

Paralympics Unintended Legacy

Proud as I am that I have not watched a single olympics event or paralympic either because I am opposed to State tax funded sport I have to say that the paras have served to expose the myth of disability which should have profound implications for the whole notion of welfare disability programmes.Now that it has been demonstrated so graphically just what disabled people can achieve the very argument that they should be patronised with welfare has been blown out of the water.They are just as much capable of doing some sort of job as able bodied people.

This not inconsiderable inference is what I and I hope the powers that be will take away from the events of the last few weeks which otherwise have induced in me at least ennui and irritation in equal measure at all the hype that has surrounded them.

Freedom Illusion?

Someone in conversation asserted confidently that no one is really free and I kind of got what they meant but thinking about it more it is nothing but a commonplace for every creature in obeying the requirements of its nature is constricted and circumscribed thereby.A human being cannot jump off a building and fly.A cat cannot swim underwater in the ocean,a dog cannot rebel against its dog nature and wile away its days surfing the internet etc.

All creatures are delimited in their behaviour by their nature and their requirements for survival through certain self sustaining actions.There is no absolute freedom as such,only within certain prescribed parameters. The prescription is dictated by reality.

The person in question was probably bewailing their human circumstances specifically in the need to work and earn a living.Yes it is true human beings have to trade and exchange goods and services.Right from the first humans living in caves,hunting and foraging etc certain actions were needed to sustain existence and so it is today in modern human societies.To bemoan the lack of freedom to do whatever you want in defiance of the requirements of your existence is to turn away from reality and indulge in wishfull thinking denial.

Of course some people have relatively more freedom than others.A Richard Branson versus someone working in Macdonalds for instance.We don't all come from privileged backgrounds, we have to make the best of our circumstances.So whatever freedom we can exert within those limits we are essentially free moral agents in the choice of actions we take to sustain our existence and pursue values compatible with our nature for the enjoyment and fulfilment of goals.

The only freedom we do not possess is the freedom from reality.If we choose to go against our nature we end up as a bum on welfare having others do for us what we have abdicated responsbility to do for ourselves.

Rabid Obummer Demagoguery

Obama represents the phenomena of the mountebank in its most advanced form and it is exceedingly depressing that according to polls at least half the American electorate would like to see him remain in the White house.Public 'education' has certainly done its job on them.He was at his usual and customary sociopathic Elmer Gantry tricks at the Democratic convention yesterday,seeking to promote his toxic and insidous un American message of envy and division along Marxist lines, manipulating base instincts and deploying his acquired sociopathic tools of plausibility and dissimulation to that end.

For all his many faults at least Clinton did not bankrupt the country in pursuit of his ideological goals.This president has no such qualms and only a return to sanity by the electorate in Novemeber with a swing to Romney will assure that he does not succeed.

Melissa Benn Is Madder Than Tony

Thankfully I have gone all this time without knowing of the existence of Melissa Benn daughter - spawn of Satan Tony.Yesterday that all changed when she appeared on a 'debate' on radio 4 with John Humphries about State education versus free market education.Needless to say the panel was stacked in favour of the State with one token free marketer in the form of the redoubtable James Tooley.He was contstantly talked over by the obnoxious Melissa Benn,ridiculed and generally baracked by her each time he attempted to get a word in edgeways.

No matter how appalling Tony Benn is with his Marxist ideology he certainly has more manners than his vile offspring who it turns out had a Marxist 'education' in a State school the name of which escapes me now in the 1960s which was characterised at the time as 'a Socialist Eton', disgracefully State funded.This is what Melissa would like for the whole country,its children sent off to Socialist brainwashing camps to be indoctrinated into the right way of thinking.The arrogance and the delusion of this evil woman had me reaching for the sick bag.

Thank God this government is attempting to free education from the malign death grip of the Marxised unions and councils and liberate them from State Sovietisation and the social engineers of human souls masquerading as teachers.For too long the likes of Melissa Benn have been infiltrating the educational establishment spreading their evil toxic ideologies and at last they are feeling the fresh bracing wind of competition and enterprise.No wonder they don't like it as the rude obnoxious behaviour of Melissa Benn last evening clearly demonstrated.

The Seductive Allure Of Conspiracy Theories

Re my last post and the furore it sparked on the Keiser site it has got me thinking about why conspiracy theories are so compelling to so many and I think in part it has got something to do with the decline of organised religion.People seem to be hard wired in their need for simple explanations that will resolve the complexities of life and they also require the Armageddon factor, an obvious throwback to religion.The end is nigh - and the banksters are to blame!It gives them a focus for their rage.

Conspiracy theories tend to attrtact those unhappy with their lot in life.Now they have someone to blame,a focal point for their hitherto unfocused rage.There appears to be a need for a hate figure.This is the theme of Orwell's 1984 and the State recognising this gives them four minutes of hate where they can rail and vent against the hated figure on the screen.

Once people have been captured by these false salvation artists they will go to any lengths to defend their false belief and will not take kindly to anyone who exposes the ridicuous figure behind the curtain pulling their strings whether it be an Icke, Keiser or whoever

(Footnote.I normally get 25 visitors to this obscure site.In the last 24 hours or less I have got One Thousand,yes,1000!It was not my intention but can't pretend am not pleased!)

Max Keiser Syndrome

Having watched the clowning of Max Keiser on RT over the years I have come to the conclusion that his ilk of alarmist conspiracy theorist declinists are the modern equivalent of the soothsayers and withcdoctors of medieval times with their end is nigh doomsday scenarios.Keiser lends his rantings a patina of pseudo intellectuality by invoking his past experience on Wall St but this is a mere cover for his virulent anti Americanism and anti Capitalism although he claims that he is for pure Capitalism but his constant ad hominem abuse of Ayn Rand clearly belies this.

As RT is a propaganda vehicle for Putin's Russia it is hardly surprising that the latter is the elephant in the room that never gets mentioned or critiqued by Keiser proving that he is every bit as much in the pockets of vested interests as the people he lambastes.With his sidekick Stacey Herbert they vye with one another to see who can excel in florid rhetoric and absurdist caricature of the financial world but underneath the bombastic hyperbole is the same left thinking that charcterises most conspiracy theorist purveyors.

Politicians And God

People often accuse doctors of playing God but they are the height of modesty compared with politicians especially those on the Left who want to control every human action from 'the cradle to grave' and see it as an affront and an act of heresy if anyone demurs and questions their divine right of intervention into the minutae of people's everyday life.

Most Conservatives it has to be owned are not much better and go native as soon as they get into office and take to empire building with little compunction.They also do not like criticism as I have found to my cost over at Conservativehome website brainchild of Tim Montgomerrie as I have now be banned from the comment section due to the fact that I critiqued the party from a libertarian perspective.It seems they are more comfortable with the Lefties who infest the comments than me which I suppose should be taken as a compliment.It will free me up to concentrate on political activism and my foredoomed failure to save Conservatives from themselves will hopefully serve as a lesson not to waste time on lost causes in future.

Woman's Hour Pisses Me Off

Here is how it works when it comes to any 'discussion' about Ayn Rand in the mainstream media.The host invites two people on who are hostile to Rand and gives them free rein to vent and excoriate by slur distortion,defamation and disinformation.Not one but two 'experts' are wheeled on to do the hatchet job.

You might suppose that at least on a public service broadcaster such as the BBC that some attempt might be made to have one of the guests in question be sympathetic to Rand and at least put her arguments forth honestly for the sake of balance which the BBC is always at pains to assure us it strives for.But no,in a blatant non balanced fashion Ayn Rand bashing is what we were treated to on last weeks' excerable Womans Hour on radio four.

It is standard practice as I have mentioned before when it comes to Rand but really it applies across the board no matter what the subject under discussion is.The BBC has got away with this egregious tendentiousness for half a century and the only solution would be the one Rand herself would advocate namely the removal of the TV licence from the BBC so that it can be free to proeselytize its 20th century collectivist credo without benefit of tax payer support.

How To Get People To Love Politicians

To change the near universal hatred and contempt the public has towards politicians into something approaching love or at least non hate is very simple.People hate politicians because they are paid for out of the public purse ie through taxation.If this were not the case and politicians had to rely on individuals and groups financing them through voluntary contributions all the anger felt towards politicians would melt like snow in the summer sun.

It is obscene and profoundly undemocratic and a violation of individual rights that anyone should have to finance a politician who has opposite views to them.This works both ways of course.Just as I resent having to finance George Galloway a dyed in the wool Lefty would resent having to finance Cameron and his Tory cadres.My solution obviates this problem.Yes unions can support Labour if they choose but the caveat being that the legal immunity they got from Labour 100 years ago regarding immunity from striking would have to be repealed.If someone goes on strike that is a breach of contract and the employer should have the right to sack them immediately.

The answer to the argument that no one would want to be a politician if they were not paid out of the public purse is very simple. In a Capitalist system there would be very little for politicians to do and only a small percentage of the present commons intake would be required.Power lusters would have no scope for advancement as they would have very little to offer their prospective electorate in terms of bribes and welfare bounty and they would have to find expression for their psychopathic impulses elsewhere,perhaps in the criminal underworld which would be their natural milieu.

This of course also obtains re big business support for Conservatives.As there would be no meddling in business under a true Capitalist system businesses would not have to pay Conservatives what is effectively protection money to defend their interests from punitive taxation and bureaucratic Red tape.The whole lobby system would cease to exist and the grubby compromising backroom deals between politicians,unions and big business would be but a dark and distant memory.

Towards The Taxless State

It's time to think outside the ballot box.Tax serfs of the world need to unite for they have nothing to lose but their chains.Freedom and liberty are rights not to be voted away by the ignorant horde.The insanity of crowds has ruled long enough.The chains of guilt wrought by the toxic canard of altruism will be broken and man will stand erect on earth unbowed by unearned guilt.

Neither 20th century liberalism or discredited conservatism will stand in the path of freedom with their lies and half truths and mixed economy premises.Their preachments have led us to the maw of hell and as we peak over the abyss their nostrums will hold no sway, but will merely reverberate with a hollow echo signifying nothing.Their day has truly gone.

The shiboleths of democracy will no longer enthrall,the siren call of a socialised existence will lie exposed as the power lust of megalomaniacs and the nightmare of a dystopia without end.The liberal democratic illusion will be shattered,scales will fall from eyes,charlatans will stand naked, their game exposed, claims scorned, tricks unmasked.

1%, Persecuted Minority

Minorities are regarded with mystical awe and respect in Western Democracies -unless the minority in question is the 1% business community that provides half the total taxation take.This minority is persecuted mercilessly on a daily basis and has opprobrium dumped on it with ritualistic zeal by practically everyone

It is open season on the wealth producers and the only wonder is why they put up with it.Why don't they just shrug or at least organise and start a union and go on strike or something?Beats me.All we ever get from the producers movers and shakers is silence or an apologetic defence of their right to exist.They need some cojones.

They of course have been silenced by the thing I alluded to in the post below -the insdious toxic debilitating guilt creating power of altruism to hypnotise and subjugate all before it.Unless we can break the hypnotic power of altruism to paralyse all resistance and expose it for the self serving lie it is the wealth producers will continue to be persecuted and degraded and conmen of social parasitism will continue to enslave the productive through the tools of guilt and Socialist rhetoric.

Taxation Human Bondage

Man's desire to enslave others is a primitive impulse that has been manifest throughout human history and can only be checked by law. But when the law itself permits this barbaric act what recourse can there be for the victims but the use of force to throw off such tyranny?

It is recognised that a man has the right to self defence if his property is violated by burglars and that he can repel them with force if necessary.But what does that avail him if the biggest burglar of all ie the State is busily robbing him all day long and he is without the means to repel it due to its monstrous power and reach?That is the ultimate definition of slavery yet for the most part of history this has been and continues to be the state of affairs across the globe and such boundless tyranny and State terrorism -for such it is - has been met with a mute and servile acquiescence and hardly ever challenged on any serious sustained and concerted level.We have to examine why this is so.

What has disarmed man throughout time and prevented him from throwing off the yoke of tyranny and reduced him to a state of servile supplication and obesiance to the ravenous parasitic taxing State on every continent that presumed to call itself civilized?What hypnotic thrall has subjugated the nations and led them by the nose to the shackles of human bondage via taxation?Surely they have been duped on a scale barely comprehensible to the imagination.A coup by the powers that rule on this scale must have suggestive post hypnotic conditioning verging on animal magnetism in its thraldom.

It is one thing to shackle people with actual chains but to be able to achieve this feat without them shows a sophistication and control beyond the run of the mill and we have to look beyond the crude application of brute force and turn instead to the greatest power of all namely ideology.If you can convice a man that his property does not belong to him,that he is selfish to enjoy it without sharing it with others you need not a gun.He has already been disarmed with sophistry.Just make him feel guilty for his achievement and success.Tell the child they must share their toys with the other children and you have the adult slave.

Here religion plays a major role in softening up the victim for self sacrifice as most religions teach this monstrous evil of altruism.Then it is given modern application by a secularised version called Socialism and Liberalism and the job is done.

Until people reject this evil creed they will continue to be enslaved by the terrorist State and millions will continue to be sacrificed on its altar.Individuals who seek to rebel will be silenced by vilification or jail.

Minimum Wage - Creator Of Youth Unemployment

The cause of youth unemployment which has gone up exponentially is the introduction by Labour of the minimum wage and it should abolished immediately.If a young person works 40 hour week on just £3 an hour they would still be bringing in twice what they get on benefit and it would be tax free but most importantly is the job experience they would get and a foot on the ladder and the opportunity to rise in the company through hard work and diligence thus setting them on the first step of a career path -all of which is being denied them as they are left to rot on the dole.

Anyone who truly cares about youth unemployment would support the scrapping of the pernicious job destroying Socialist minimum wage and free the youth from this State created blight of youth unemployment.

UK Tax Serfs And The Orwellian State

There is debate about whether to erect a statue of Orwell outside the BBC but the latter has suggested apparently from an irony free zone that it would be too political.It would on the contrary be most appropriate.Orwell worked at the BBC and many think his novel 1984 was partly inspired by his time there.With its monstrous reach and omnipotent sway over the airwaves the BBC had and still does have more than an air of Big Brother about it.

Orwell of course was something of a prophet and both Left and Right lay claim to him with some justification on both sides but there is no doubt his predictions have been fully realised.UK tax serfs show alarming characteristics of Stockholme Syndrome -they love Big Brother.Snitching on one's neighbour to the State is standard practice and the Welfare Socialist State has produced an envy between people re taxation that the State encourages and benefits from.

As to the statue in question,Orwell himself an inveterate iconoclast would be smiling wryly at the thought of it but regarding location the BBC has to be the most suitable and it might give the employees of said Left wing behemoth pause as they enter the building to reflect about the need for intellectual honesty and integrity re their journalistic standards.

Teachers Unions:Beyond Shame

It would be risible if it were not so darned serious how the teachers unions have come out in support of their poor pupils whose exam results aren't so good this year because very belatedly some rigour has been introduced into the system after decades of abuse and corruption and marking up grade inflation.Any further upward inflationary trajectory and it would have been on the Weimar scale.

Now there is talk of legal action which is further demonstation of how delinquent and morally bankrupt the Marxist teachers union are with their levelling down egalitarian Socialist agendas and how right this governemnt is to decouple the State schools from councils who are politically driven and don't give a damn for their charges future but are hell bent on dumbing down the youth with their 'everyone must have prizes' mentality.

Objectivists- Ivory Tower Intellectuals?

The abject failure of Objectivism to make any inroads culturally and politically after 50 years since its inception does raise questions of its practicality and whether or not its advocates are too much ivory tower intellectuals to take the battle into the public arena.

Ayn Rand herself was reluctant to get into the weeds of policy prefering instead to speak in broad principles and leave it to others to fill in the gaps but this has left a yawning lacunae in Objectivism as no one as far as I can see has taken up the challenge of transmuting it into concretes.They seem to have taken the cue from Rand and avoided the issue arguing as she did that too much intellectual groundwork and disemination had yet to be done to prepare the way for an Objectivist universe. But does that still apply half a century later?

Peikoff argues correctly that promoting Objectivism cannot be considered a career and anyone who spends their life teaching people that self sacrifice is evil has by virtue of their actions become an embodiment of altruism!

Is this the crux of the issue,the Catch 22?Someone said that trying to organise libertarians politically was like trying to herd cats.Speaking of which Rand of course despised the latter and totally disasociated herself from that movement accusing it of being irrational and plagiaristic and corrupting her teaching with perversions and shortcuts resulting in an incoherent mish mash of contradictory floating abstractions.

Of course Conservatives would and do argue that Rand was an extremist whose ideas were impractical and as they put it, that is not how things can be 'in the real world' which translated means the only way is compromise and half measures and the mixed economy,a mixture of freedom and slavery.Whilst that is a cynical and contemptible position it does behove Objectivists to get their finger out and start advocating in a way that they have up to this point lamentably failed to do.

Evil And Its Nemesis

In a deeply moving documentary programme last week with Kirsty Young random acts of violence and their aftermath was the topic and the triumph of the human will in overcoming such arbitrary madness and evil.Victims of taxi driver Raol Moat,Real IrA,drive by gang motivated shootings,Brevik and many others were included.Most people realised the importance of not hating the perpetrators and therby allowing them to continue their reign of terror through psychological trauma and conditioning.

Human beings have a capacity to allow rage to overtake them and when this is combined with the use of firearms the consequences can be devastating.In most cases the rage is incoherent and non specific and not targeted at a clear object and innocent people get caught up in the explosion of rage.In Brevik's case it was more calculating and delimited but no less innapropriate.

The salutary lesson to be drawn from these tragedies is the very rarely touched upon one of the need of self control and how the lack of it can lead to disaster and mayhem.We can see this in the phenomena of road rage and many varieties therof.

If all the inhabitants of our jails learned self control and non reaction to stress we could have empty prisons.On a smaller scale it can be observed in Big Brother where the competitors get caught up in petty rivalries and bitter confrontations and bullying.

Perhaps the schools should teach the art of non intimidation and we could breed a race of supermen but then there would be no need for most of government!Indeed society and the powers that be have a vested interest in people running amok and out of control because it makes them look like the good guy and gives them the excuse for draconian laws and controls and big government.A nation of calm strong non intimidated people the State could not handle.It prefers drugged up angry folk it can control with handcuffs and dismiss as lunatics.

Age Of Unreason

It is amazing to witness people's inability to reason in debate and it is not just the Left where you find this.Conservatives have irrationality as their default mode too and it runs through their dna.Take their defence of Monarchy - the random arbitrary rule of despots down the ages. They love it and seek to justify it with wooly ratiocinations interweaving tradition worship and the mysticism of divine rule and noblese oblige.Denial pathology in action.Small wonder they have such scant regard for freedom and liberty and are happy to perpetuate the tyranny of mob rule we call Democracy.

I do make a distinction here between European Conservatives who are more like Socialists and their American counterparts who are more pro freedom and Capitalism.

There has been some grim amusement to be had in watching Conservatives go through contortions to make excuses for delinquent Harry-Hal and it does make one wonder what he would have to do before they passed censure.Let us sit down and talk of the madness of kings and queens and their supporters.

Brevik And Liberalism In The Dock

Norwegians are liberal to the end.Brevik mass murderer gets 20 years, illustrating perfectly the inherent contradictions of a philosophy that is so soft and weak it will destroy itself with tolerance.Like the British the Norwegians may come to see, hopefully before it is not too late, that their much famed tolerance was nothing more than foolhardiness.

But there is a complication here.Brevik was right.Norway has bent over backwards to accomodate muslims just as the whole of Europe has and it has been a ghastly mistake for which it has paid dear.

And it hard to imagine such a thing today even in Europe as a holiday camp for a Socialist Hitler youth group where they go to get indoctrinated into multiculturalism and appeasment to Izlam.Brevik took the view no matter how wrong he was in executing it that it makes sense if you see a vipers egg to crush it under your heel for fear if you do not you will end up with a whole colony of vipers.The West should wake up and smell the Izlam koolaid before it is too late.

Naked Truth Of British Monarchy

The latest Harry incident is one of many instances of innapropriate behaviour and hopefully one more nail in the coffin of the British monarchy.This parasitic elite who live at the expense of the taxpayers and who treat them as their feudal serfs are simply beyond the pale,a corrupt criminal mafia-like gang who through bloodlines have tyranised the British people over the centuries and have a long bloody history of mayhem and genocide behind them.They belong in the trash can of history.

How dare they seek in their delusioinal arrogance to muzzle the press and how the latter have grovelled and lickspittled to them in obsequious compliance.

Once again it was left to the heroic Sun to refuse to bend the knee to the Windsors and print and be damned.One more example of how the despicable kangaroo court star chamber of Levenson has had a chilling effect on our once proud and independent press.

Ian Bradey and the Criminal Injustice System

Last night's programme on Ian Brady Moors murderer could have been an hour long advertisment for restoration of the death penalty.This piece of human garbage has cost taxpayers millions of pounds in drugs and litigation which he seems to specialise in and he has more carers and social workers running round him giving him 24 hour care than any war widow on a pitiable pension and the whole thing is a moral obscenity.They won't even let him die which has been his wish for the longest time.What kind of insanity has gripped the criminal justice system,what kind of people are running it and making such bizarre decisions?Only mad liberals who seem to run everything and who believe that psychopaths have rights too.

Politicians Locked-In Syndrome

I have some time for Simon Heffer which is why I was surprised to hear him say on the radio that it is for politicians to decide whether a person has a right to end their life if it has become insupportable due to an incurable illness, specifically in this instance the man with locked-in syndrome who has just recently had his case delayed.

It is an inalienable individual right to end one's life if one considers it has become unbearable and it absolutely should never be on the say so of any third rate politician or judge for that matter

The idea that a politician should determine that a person carry on living in abject misery and suffering is positively obscene and profoundly totalitarian a concept and methinks Mr Heffer should really know better.

Gray's Anatomy

John Gray who appears on Radio 4 Point of View is typical of the Left wing intellectual establishment in his use of low dishonesty in public discourse by deploying the technique of subliminal insinuation to smuggle across his views rather than direct explicit exposition.He was at it again last night in a rambling piece ostensibly about the enduring appeal of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes but this was a mere pretext to launch an assault on reason and to denigrate its role in civlizational progress.

To mount his argument agasinst reason he bizarely cited Communism and Capitalism and their respective failure re Soviet Union and the present banking crisis to support his case that reason has fallen down on the job of directing man to the bright sunny uplands of progress.Bizarre because the idea that Communism was based on reason is absurd.Lenin railed against reason at every opportunity referring to 'miserable reason' in his contempt and excoriation of it.Hitler too the other Socialist based his philosophy on blood lines,irrationalism and mysticism.

Then we come to Capitalism which has allegedly failed according to Gray but if we examine our present pass what emerges is the failure of government in bailing out the banks thus making it doubly likey that they will not learn their lesson and will comitt similar follies again figuring that they can play it deuces wild with their reserves and the tax payer will bail them out again.The whole point about Capitalism is that if it screws up it pays the price and suffers the consequence of failure,not that the State steps in and gives it corporate welfare and a bailout.

I do not know the name of the philosophy the likes of Gray peddals,it could be called skepticism for all I know but it involves the argument that reason cannot soley guide a man's actions because it is inadequate. What I do know however is the implication of it,namely that we rely on some non rational entity,be it faith,or intuition,or hunch which can only lead in one direction -back to the Middle Ages,where reason was unknown and gargoyles and mystical beings ruled man's actions with all the horrific consequences that flowed from that abandonment of the mind.

I have no problem with the likes of Will Self and John Gray appearing on Points of view.It would just be nice if the BBC would invite on intellectuals from across the aisle so that the other side of things can be aired.

Pussy Gaol-Or Not

I don't hold any brief for Putin who appears to have dragged Russia back to its old Soviet ways in some respects but on the issue of public protest I think he has got it right.Many people in the West make the common mistake of conflating freedom of speech with the right to express it any place they choose be it a church or so- called public space, the latter of course being any oxymoron of which more later.Your right to express your views does not give you licence to come on to my property uninvited and express them there.So it is with the girl punk group Pussy Riot who made their protest in a church violating its laws and rules in a crude egregious and inapropriate way.The sentence they got was of course draconian and no doubt politically motivated but the fact remains they had no right to stage their protest where they did.

Here we get to the crux of the matter (pardon the pun) for it is on the issue of'public spaces' and the inherent ambiguity of the concept that so much mischief is made for the conflict of interests it throws up is insoluble because all the while it occupies this indeterminate status of no man's land the public space becomes a battleground for contending protest groups whose conflicting demands cannot be resolved.

This dilemna can only be resolved by two means,namely the Putin way of banning political protest in public across the board or privatising all public space leaving it for the owners of the land to determine who can and cannot protest on it which of course is the resolution I favour.All the while we have public space the right solution is to ban all protests there.

School For Failures

Like so many kids I hated school and it was a complete mystery to me what it was for and what I was doing there.All the teachers appeared to be speaking in a foreign language and what was going on outside the window always seemed more interesting than what was going on in the classroom even if it was just passing traffic on the main road.It was a catholic secondary modern but even so the lessons were over my head, modern maths being a particularly arcane mystery to me.So I left school feeling somewhat cheated and drifted in and out of dead end jobs and to this day have never had a trade or career and have had to resort to living by my wits to some extent.

Of course each individual has to find their own way through life but the schools do not help or facilitate here and if anything can be a road block to progress by screwing with children's minds and crippling potential by uninspired lessons and an incoherent disparate curicula that can stunt growth and impair and arrest cognitive development

It was only due to the fact that I discovered books at about 14 that I was able to glimpse a new world of ideas and literature that would enable me to have something approaching an intellectual inner life.One day my mother told father to take me to the library when she discovered I had never actually read a book.It may in retrospect have been a fatal error as I was later to be accused of forever having my nose in a book and not doing anything practical but anyway at the time I was not relishing the prospect of having to read a book.I grabbed at random a few titles,one a huge coffee table book of the Monkees which had mostly photos in it and little text but I did include a proper book as well and later that day idly opened it and soon became engrossed in the story of a junior James Bond type adventure involving a geek who would climb out of his bedroom window at night and solve crime and then go back to his geeky persona come morning.I was hooked,I wanted more of this stuff.

A world to escape into,adventure excitement.Ghost stories,horror, stories,crime,I seemed to go from genre to genre,exhausting one then discovering another with whole yawning vistas opening up before me until I came across a book by Iris Murdoch called Bruno's Dream and it was like nothing I had ever experienced before,a weird world that yet was somehow strangely familiar imbued with a dream like quality peopled by odd characters with deep psychological flaws,just plain weird but intoxicating.I became a Murdoch fan.Then it was Truman Capote,Hemingway, Fitzgerald,Dickens,Shakespeare, Kafka Proust,Joyce et al.

I may now in retrospect be very skeptical of these writers but at the time they offered an alternative reality that was far more interesting than the mundane everyday world that most people appeared to inhabit.

I don't know what it is like in schools today forty years later but from what I hear there does not seem to have been any improvement at all and generations are being turned out disaffected and ill equipped to meet the challenges of global competition.Our universities have dumbed down,grade inflation has destroyed the qualifications system and a radical overhaul is now under way to turn things around.Will Gove succeed or will the institutionliased inertia of a Marxised union driven State education system mean that stasis prevails and the rot continues.We will have to wait and see.

What Philosophy?

Most people don't sit down and ask themselves what philosophy they are going to live by.They usually hold a mishmash of contradictory positions picked up, often unconsciously, from the culture and media around them if not from the religion they have been brought up in which they may or not reject.It is strange that we live in a culture where it is not even considered important to have an explicit philosophy and indeed such is frowned on as dangerous and indoctrination.This allows the education establishments ironically to insidiously promote a philosophy in a covert way undetected and with thus potentially destructive and pernicious results.Examples of such would be multiculturalism,environmentalism which are both Marxist at root.

Without a proper grounding in philosophy the student is a prime target for such indoctrination and the history of philosophy itself is anyway a graveyard of misbegotten irrational intellectual constructs totally divorced from reality and are mere corruptions of religion and mysticism which students will traverse at their peril.

I can only point the direction of travel which a student of philosophy should take namely a belief system grounded and rooted in reality not an artificial construct concocted out of thin air by a so called intellectual.

Is Objectivism For The Common Man?

One of the criticisms of objectivism the philosophy of Ayn Rand is that it is elitist and has nothing to offer the common man and on the surface this argument may appear to have some validity.If you are an ordinary working stiff,never aspiring to anything beyond your lowly station at Wallmart or Macdonalds,both honourable institutions I might add,then it is hard to see immediately how objectivism will speak to your situation.Objectivism, this argument goes,is for the high fliers,the ceos, the movers and shakers. All the main characters in Rands novels are super heroes of industry, prime movers,not the zeros commonly represented in modern fiction.

So yes,on the surface Rands philosophy of superman may have little to offer Mr average but even the latter likes to hero worship,hence the popularity of batman and other fictional heroes.We all need something to aspire to. Kitchen sink drama and reality programmes are well and good but they do not serve our deep rooted spiritual need and hunger for the depiction of greatness which is why the olympics enthralled so many.The race is to the swift and a philosophy that champions rather than seeks to denigrate and besmear them is a universal human requirement and sustenance no matter what station in life one occupies.

My one caveat with objectivists is that they do tend to fetishise work and speak of it as man's highest value but for the vast majority of people work is a means to an end namely survival,to pay the bills and correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing that a huge majority of the working population alas do not wake up every weekday morning and say yipee I am going to the thing I love,my job.

Brand Of Gibberish

Claiming that drug addiction is a disease rather than a volitional choice is the standard and pernicious cop out-of junkies and their apologists and it was the tired old canard the preposterous Russel Brand was pedalling in a BBC 3 documentary last night.

This absurd assertion is popular amongst the weak minded because it allows them to present themselves as victims of something beyond their control.Their habbit and lifestyle choice becomes instead a disease like cancer or tuberculosis and is thus conveninetly removed from the realm of volition morality choice and responsibility.Any hope of effecting a cure is foredoomed if this line is taken hence its preniciousness.

The wider issue totally unadressed was the role the State plays in prohibition and the obvious solution namely decriminalisation.Throwing people in jail for putting substances in their body is an egregious abuse of the criminal justice system and a gross violation of individual rights.

The Rugged Trousered Individualist

The individual poses an existential threat to Democracy and is public enemy number one.Independent schools teach independence.State schools teach Statism.The latter discourages individualism and encourages groupthink,enforced by Marxzoidal teacher unions whose job it is to miseducate and provide more welfare fodder and thus keep Labour which they bankroll in power.They teach employee mentality not employer mentality.

Entrepreneuralism is a threat and the young are taught to be dependent on others to employ them rather than start their own business.Employers are seen as the enemy to be controlled by taxes,Red tape,regulation and turned into defacto State employees,running a welfare service rather than a business.

Towards A UK Objectivist Republic

What would an Objectivist UK look like and what would it involve? I can only offer the following very broad sketch. Firstly, an outright rejection of Conservatism and its tradition worship,its lickspittle allegiance to monarchy and its mystical belief in altruism and State patronage and of course Labour with its undiluted statism.

An abolition of all taxation over a ten year period with its implicit abandonment of all welfare programmes and the funding of armed forces police and courts on a voluntary basis.

Others can fill in the details.I am not a policy wonk or a Ryan Paul.Simple declaration would say the State is not your parent.It will not police who you sleep with,what you ingest,what healthcare you purchase,what school to send your child to,how you spend your money.

The State's sole purpose is to protect your individual rights and to punish those who would seek to violate them.When it becomes the violator of said rights it is illegitimate and should be overthrown.The right to bear arms is in the Bill of Rights and people have a right to defend themselves against a tyrannical state.Capitalism is the only system that guarantees the above and any attempt to regulate it is the first step to Statism via the primrose path of the mixed economy on the altar of which all the main political parties worship.

Borris Is Redder Than Ken

The collapsing disintegrating tory party is clutching at straws in bigging up the ridiculous Borris Johnson who with his messianinc delusions, cult of personality and Socialist agendas is every bit as Red as Ken.

Whenever Tories get into office their feet are barely under the table and they have gone native and are empire building like the very Leftists they pretend to oppose.Grandiose infrastructure schemes,featherbedding industry,taxing,regulating,grandstanding,they become like the worst caricatures of liberals.The sorry Borris episode is one more reminder if one were needed that Tories and Leftists are all brothers under the skin and any rivalry between them is phoney and the mere narcissism of small differences.

Demagogracy

It is sobering to reflect on what little freedom there is in a democracy.Fundamental issues of choice are denied and no one appears to even notice.Whether it be in the area of education,health or how one's earnings are spent,all these things and more are now decided by politicians and government bureaucrats and the broad mass of the nation doesn't bat any eyelid as they hypnoidally file to the ballot box every five years to select their new tyrant.

As the years pass I have more and more sympathy for Guy Fawkes.In these more civilized times perhaps another method could be found to achieve the same ends.The rallying cry could be something along the lines of: 'starve a politician today - don't pay your taxes.'I am acutely conscious however that in this matter I appear to be a solitary figure crying in the wilderness.

Religion And Its Malcontents

Anyone can see the lunacy of David Icke and his ideas but many of those who do so are quite likely to hold a set of beliefs that are no less bizarre but because they are centuries old and are embedded into the culture they are not questioned or thought at all odd such as Christianity or Islam to name but two.Once supernatural ideas have been accepted their detail matters little,whether it involve christ resurrected,or a shape shifting reptile,both require a suspension of reason and disbelief,an abandonment of the mind and a reliance on faith.

A breach of the mind has been effected at this point and credulity and non thinking will now by default guide a person's life.Having had experience with believers I have seen myself how irrationality rules their daily lives and how their beliefs have given them licence to be irrational and then rationalise their beliefs to suit their agendas!No matter what happens to them they can always interpret it as a sign from God,the ultimate flexible friend.I can only conclude that as Freud said a century ago,all religious belief is a form of mental disorder.To be more up to date, Scott Peck said 'most people's religious beliefs are neurotically determined'.

Many in the religious establishment realising they are on shaky ground have sought to anchor their belief system in science itself,to coopt it in an attempt to legitimise it for a modern more skeptical audience and this is illustrated in the recent phenomna known as intelligent design theory.One religious leader even wrote a book called Finding God In Physics which begs the obvious question if you can do that why do you need faith,the very bedrock of religion?

Soham Travesty

The television programme last week about the murder of Holly Wells, the tragic child victim of killer Ian Huntley brought home starkly just how obscene the injustice of the liberal criminal justice system has become.The argument that if the State kills the offender this brings it (and by token us) down to the same level as the killer is crazy ill sorted liberal pretzellogic.

It is not killing the perpetrator of heinous murders that brings us down to the same level of moral depravity as them.The whole point of the justice system is to achieve a balance between the crime and the punishment.When those two are out of kilter, as they clearly are today, the injustice occurs.

We have also been told that the death penalty cheapens life but again this counter intuitive argument has been exposed as another liberal fallacy, for killing is very cheap today -you can practically get off with it scot free.People are killed for the most trivial of reasons,a pair of trainers,a mobile phone and it doesn't come cheaper than that.

Most reasonable people ie anyone who does not have their liberal head up their fundament would conclude that Ian Huntley never got his just deserts for his barbaric and evil deeds and that his only rightful place is dangling at the end of a rope.

Funny Thing About The Intellectual Left

Watching various appearances by Will Self on Youtube and whilst acknowledging that he is an interesting fellow with his monotone delivery and sesquipedalian peppered discourse I could not help but be reminded of an interesting characteristic of those intellectuals who lean leftward,namely the utter banality of their thoughts the minute they veer into the political.From complex ideas they slip seamlessless into the kind of banalities you would only expect to hear from a pub bore with an IQ in single numbers.Don't ask me to explain this phenomena, I only seek to drawn attention to it but it does fascinate me, almost as much as why people hold left wing beliefs in the first place!

The Tyranny Of Hurt Feelings

The tyranny of hurt feelings dictates that a person's freedom of speech be circumscribed by another's right not to be offended by it.We have the police arresting people for thoughtcrime,the expression of politically incorrect views on twitter and social network sights and this exactly a year after the police stood back and facilitated the wholesale looting and destruction of towns and cities across the country by feral yahoos and youths totally exempted from the rule of law.It is clear that the police have become a criminal corrupt arm of a corrupt State and that we are slouching inexorably towards totalitarianism.The Endgame of Democracy is staring us in the face.

Curse Of Izlam

We are all supposed to be terribly concerned about what is going on in Syria but I am not.I actually think arabs killing arabs is a good thing,something to be encouraged and facilitated rather than stopped.If they are killing one another they are not killing us.We know the self loathing amongst arabs is the death force that drives them,the endgame of their nihilistic belief system which is a corrupted plagiarized version of a plagiarisation (ie christianity) and it is entirely in our interest that they self eradicate themselves,raize each others mosques to the ground and put one another to the sword or roadside bomb and that they continue to do this on an industrial scale.

The only bright spot in the whole Middle east is Israel but for some reason we seem intent on demonising it whilst perversely championing the arabs who are primitive,barbaric,uncivilised and parasitic and have no redeeming qualities and instead have sought to destroy the modern world with the disgusting despicable amoral support of the so called intellectual Left.

The camel f#####s would still be living in tents if the West had not drilled for oil because they are too stupid and primitve to do it themselves,lacking the technological know-how.Then like the parasites they are they sought to nationalise the achievements of the West and we are in the mess we are today as a result.

Just as the Fascists killing Communists during the Second World War was a welcome development so the arabs and islamists killing one another is too.We should seek to deracinate arabs from the West,dump them back in their Middle East hell hole and let them finish the job of self extinction.

Boredom,The Last Taboo?

You never hear anyone talking about boredom in public.Children whine about being bored but for adults it seems like the shame that dare not speak its name.I sometimes wonder if I am the only one prone to it and it is a personal failing.As I only inhabit this space and no one else's I cannot tell for sure but I guess it is a universal human condition,a manifestation of what one associate long ago termed an awareness of 'the pain of one's existence.'

So if it is metaphysical in nature what is its provenance?Those of a religious bent would say, as the previous quote suggests, that it is the curse of fallen man,the painful awareness of one's sinful nature and being flawed and human we seek to escape from this feeling with endless distractions and pleasures.

All of modern life in this context could be seen as a flight from reality,a doomed attempt to escape from the realisation of our plight as sinners.I am not entirely sold on this explanation but it would explain the existential angst one periodically experiences.Boredom is a bit like a spiritual cancer that corrodes the soul.It steals up on one like a thief in the night but unlike the latter is reluctant to leave and hangs around for an hour or so and then goes as mysteriously as it came.Maybe it is a modern phenomena caused by too much leisure.

I actually find the average person very boring and cannot to be in the company of people for that long.Domesticity,the mundane,commonplaces,all these can set one off down the ennui path and of course if one is bored when alone the worrying yet ineluctable conclusion is that oneself is boring!
