The Fear School of Art

Monday, August 30, 2010

Since the Financial Collapse cultural elements have emerged on a minor but relevantly large portion of people. A considerable amount of these people believe the world is doomed. They believe largely that a giant conspiracy has been concocted from long ago that has sustained. These people have a variety of sects and themes of course: how the world is going to blow up, who is blowing it up, why we should blow them up or vote them out. Little effort is put into what one might do after all the blowing up is done or the election is over. Though, there is small attention paid to who we might vote for. Most of the attention is instead about blowing up disparate facts into giant conclusions.

Ironically some of the solutions to crises that become more obvious as each day passed in an age of Capitalist’s escaping to the social media focused Internet. Problems such as sovereign debt have already met the bond market and are coming soon to America. Yet still nobody knows what is coming – they cannot explain it and so they derive information from incredibly strange but often innovative means. I do not mean in art – and I do not mean in just economics. There is a crisis of ethics in a world closer than ever before and never before so divided on ideas. Everywhere there is a crises going on in the eyes of New Media and Old Media alike.

All kinds of different philosophies fill the conspiracy circle that I call the Fear School of Art. When we think about Government and “Big” Media scare campaigns nobody quite masters the art of fear like the small world geniuses of Internet scare campaigns behind such things as “Endgame” and “Zeitgeist”. These are the magnum opuses of the Fear School. This is characterized by emulating journalists and applying a political theme instead of principle and facts to the journalistic work. An incredibly distorted Baroque theme turned into a fictional account that seems legitimate under the subterfuge of journalism is presented.

This actually has its roots in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, UFOs conspiracies, and numerous fringes. The specific component in wider Objectivist thought is that these artists of deception project a malevolent Universe premise. The simplest way to describe such a belief is that the holder believes the world is not just in their way but an unstoppable obstacle. Many of the Fear School artists also offer no solutions of any kind – just a fringe genre of fiction that emulates an objective and focused practice, journalism. In the mainstream however – the plague is similar.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a text believed to have been forged to look like a view into a future ruled by Jewish conspirators spread in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century. Interestingly many events in it – in some form occurred yet the timing was always far off and the bulk of it is rubbish. This was not a popular text in the Industrialized world where people had a longer history and culture of education but for the reactionary mobs around the first factories and the first industry their part of the world had ever known.

Socialist political philosophy basically insists that human beings are inherently broken – not sometimes evil as that wouldn’t be liberal enough for them to consider moral. Everyone at elections votes not to fix themselves but to have themselves fixed or to have someone else fixed by the politicians who they vote for. Milton Friedman had better words than any about this particular situation that we are not: “Just where are we going to find these angels to design a nice society?” Apparently and this is by the actions of those who have proven they are unwilling to use words objectively: our free will cannot be trusted.

The Fear School of Art is surrounded by the theme of the Government silently nannying society. Within this theme it can go in two different directions. A socialists work of Fear-Art will say that the Government could be doing all kinds of good but the rich and evil Capitalist families have corrupted them. Another direction in which it goes is the one Alex Jones uses. He believes a Government filled with evil people would be thrown out with all its meddlesome socialist policies if they didn’t hear his story. With Jones I find it quite interesting how he uses his own work to put his own work on a pedestal because nobody else would. He often throws a spin on the stories, that the Government is doing something for another reason. He appears to pick whatever that is out of the predicted side effects of Austrian school economists. Hayek’s theory says that central banking undermines an economy, Alex Jones says before yet-another-central-bank in yet-another-country blows up because of yet-another-recession simply that this is what they wanted.

The various Fear School artists perpetuate this concept that mankind does not control his body and not the Objective reality of the world and its components but specifically about media and with visual contact with media. The Fear School of art is art that cannot express the real value of life when its only purpose is to imitate truth under the guise of a message that saves one from Government control. Literally, instead of people actually restoring a Constitution objectively they instead change the focus often to poorly understanding the Constitution.

David Icke who is far from popular among modern conspiracy circles goes back well into the late 20th century. He is someone who literally believes that aliens control our Governments and that they create a rigorous police state out of Machiavellian tactics to rule the world by stealth. These are just some of the elements that are not sourced to fact by their logic in any way at all. Indeed there are back-room deals everywhere and there are laws that protect privacy. Yet David Icke takes it to another level – he doesn’t just do what other journalists are paid to do and mentions that the Government is doing wrong – instead he makes all other journalism and knowledge out as susceptible to the attack of an alien race which distorts everything that doesn’t come from David Icke or those he approves (seriously, if this works, how hard can the Aliens be to beat in the first place?).

These ideas are often popular among those who consume this media first – when they decide they are of the age to get involved in politics typically fall for a source that claims it is the one source of truth. The perpetrators of easily not the greatest deceptions of all time but a complex one is the mock artists of the Fear School. Preying on naivety and emotional tactics that always suit the situation the Fear School of art is pragmatic by using all and any means to produce a maximum amount of fear. When someone is trying to learn about the world the Fear School likes to be there first. If this were ancient Greece, far more fear-schoolers would have been drinking Hemlock than Socrates for crimes of hubris. In a modern society the best we can hope for is that the young learn to make value-judgements on the basis of objectivity themselves independently their entire lives. This includes helping them gain this ability which can never be innate.

Yet remember these preachers that say mankind has not free-will, that knowledge itself is broken, and thus communication impossible – and variations of the theme appear all in which we are dominated by a sad  group of people. This time those people are the political class and the problems are obvious but named and identified so carelessly without pursuit of objective description.  The Fear School of art always tries to cunningly shock you down the alley of a philosophy that often required (it sucked and so they lied) or didn’t deserve this means of distribution. Fear Schoolers typically package a socialist or paleoconservative ideaologue in the work that it tries to sell.

Once a Fear School work was so terrible it forgot to have this ending that tells us how we’ve been doing it wrong and need to adjust our lives. That is Zeitgeist which was followed up with Zeitgeist Addendum possibly just to confuse anyone who questions a smear of society offering no solutions. Zeitgeist Addendum has basically started a political school of philosophy of its own where they try to have socialism through peer-pressure (there is MUCH I could expand on here) rather than Government.

There are literal victims of the Fear School of Art in every philosophy and idea they try to create or point people to can only bring them there by means of trickery and evading reason. We all have free will in some form, we all have willpower, and we all have a requirement to learn from what exists in reality whatever it may be. We need media and we need Art – the Fear School poison our food. Though not only that – no drinking hole is left unpoisoned. Major Media outlets have started cashing on in the small fans of the Fear School (minorities sell, just look at that junk you won’t watch on the box!). During 2009 for the first time American networks capitalized on Fear School propaganda by airing conspiracy theories dressed up as conspiracy facts on major and cable networks that the Twin Towers Collapse was planned by a different enemy: The Government.

I want to leave a small note of gratitude right here in the middle of my article. The 9/11 conspiracy theories and being able to see past the Fear School art gave me the insight I have today. Thanks liars, for inspiring me to open that doorway to truth by blocking it for me. Thanks, not sure how else I would have found it.

The worst part about it is that it is such an ugly sore on the site of the culture we live in that it is not discussed and debunked more thoroughly. Instead of interest in genuine and time-proven systems like Logical Skepticism, Empiricism, Objectivism and such there is an interest in lies and deceits carried out by second-handers clamoring for the only thing they really care about: a large audience. People find these people as unbearable as these people find whatever demographic or race they are targeting.

Stupidity is not contagious and it cannot possibly affect you the reader simply by looking into the picture show just once that has them believing the world is doomed – so have a look to see what these people really believe [PUT A LINK RIGHT HERE]. This movement grows across the entire planet thanks to the Information Age. They have become the closest thing to the New World Religion of their wildest fears in every way – and being inspired by fear it promotes only blindness through speculation.

The Fear School is like Government propaganda except nobody is forced to produce it or pay for willing producers. The Fear School of Art however has a creator with the same goal as the guy the Government hires to quell war dissent: He wants you to be afraid, specifically of other journalists, and to only listen to him. The Fear School artist hopes to dominate your grasp of Objectivity itself essentially being a pair of meddlesome glasses between you and the world. Unlike government propaganda the Fear School cannot license journalists into line – it can only smear them by any human errors they make so you start ignoring all other sources of information.

Mankind’s Energy Future

Monday, August 23, 2010

Humans with complex language permitting concepts specifically allows values to exist and judgment to exist. All value judgments depend on humanity and all value and every concept this planet has ever known have been man made. We change our environment to survive and we are the source of all innovation on the planet. Change to the environment is our mandate, our purpose, and our right.

Because for a human at least survival is derived from concepts and knowledge – and thus we can exist in as many manners of existence as we can make possible. Space travel is one many believe can be possible – yet stunningly there is a lack of faith in our ability to survive minor changes to the weather we have effected.

In fact the best thing we can do to counteract climate-change is to consume. Consumption can be enjoyed in various ways, Investment consumes specifically for future production. Thus, if we respond to climate change by increasing our productive output, burning more coal, and so on we might have a chance of replacing the fossil fuels and uranium to do it with energy sources derived with the interests of an investor in mind: long term, sustainable investments meaning a next generation of energy production (extra-planetary solar, geothermal, fusion, you name it).

Yet instead, Enterprise is derided, production is threatened to be stunted. Irrational self-sacrifice is the primary response to climate-change. Actions with specific and obvious consequences as to make sustainability: a process involving human cognition as a step, become completely stunted as the productive means to reach this end are reduced through suicidal emissions trading and tax policies – a response to climate change that brings us closer to disaster.

The fact that as individuals we are capable of realizing our environmental effects no matter how late, and voting for our own destruction is evidence that we can also become inspired enough to trade, produce, and innovate towards a better future. This is further evidenced historically.

Oil once sat in the ground useless to human beings for centuries. Individuals innovated turning this material into a fuel source and it became the lifeblood of civilization. This is the same with coal and every other form of energy. This includes even the pulling power of a work mule, which was bred and kept by human value judgments and decisions. Oil became mankind’s largest energy source to date – before then we consumed many other sources. Alternative energy has been growing for some time.

Other sources exist all around us to obtain energy. Sources yet to be discovered and other sources exist which mankind currently relies about extending its industrial output to exploit. Grand projects and discoveries need to occur for humanity to reach a new age in energy production.

Yet instead, in response to climate-change and our future energy needs constraint is urged on the very elixir of life and modern pursuits in a world dependent on mans ability to survive based on the facts and thus more industrial growth.

Investment is completely dependent itself on resources including energy being available for investment – including investment in sustainable energy. Limiting energy and thus limited mankind’s productive ability is the worst possible answer to climate change ever conceived. The real road to survival exists on the grounds of massive consumption through investment in next-generation energy sources – yet the proclaimed solution is to starve our ability to actually make a difference in this world by sabotaging our own production.

Family First vs The Sex Party

Monday, August 9, 2010

I was just watching this “debate”, witch the Family First party representative kept calling out strawmen attacks on her useless opponent. I kept thinking to myself while watching: Who in their right mind would vote for either of these parties? I don’t think anyone in their right mind would. It surprises me that the nanny state hasn’t thrown both in the care of mental health professionals. I don’t like either party.

I don’t like Family First because:

  • They support Internet Censorship. I don’t care what people think should or shouldn’t be censored. This is not a proper function of Government.
  • Their representative didn’t seem to realize that Lifeline and the Salvation Army can apply to be a not-for-profit organization and already have, and this is different from churches.
  • They think you and I are incredibly stupid – evidenced by the obvious lack of logic in their representatives arguments, and fear-mongering tactics they use.
  • If she doesn’t understand something as simple as tax-exempt status at the tax office and doesn’t understand how this country works, who the hell are they thinking they can run the show?

I don’t like the Sex Party because:

  • Their representative was lazy in her defense of her position. She clearly didn’t know her logical fallacies or she’d have been able to make a better argument.
  • She thinks religious organizations should pay tax. As a Godless heathen I think this is horse-shit. What other philosophical organizations should come next? I don’t think Scientology should, I don’t think any religion should. I don’t think the Ayn Rand Institute should either. The Government can’t start deciding what is or isn’t of public benefit to this country… AND SHE HAD THE NERVE TO TAKE ON CENSORSHIP.
  • Why the hell didn’t she pick out that those charities are registered entirely differently from Churches… as not-for-profits with auditors to prove it?

Something pretty weird has happened in this country. Idiots like those at the Sex Party and Family First all want the Government to do more and more for them. Idiots at the Labor party want that, but I don’t mind that because they are quite open about being the handout party. It seems almost nobody is willing to question what the proper role of Government is anymore… except for the Liberal Party (although their are members who don’t seem to know what small government means or what principle are) and the only rational choice at the next election: The Liberal Democratic Party.

You see liberalism was an idea founded on the principles that the Government is an arbiter of force and coercion only and cannot produce things of value. The Government can organize people to do things of value but they really only have two ways of doing that: direct physical coercion, or buying minds (now that we have sound money, courtesy of Liberalism) to do their bidding – which also is based on physical coercion through taxation, inflation (printing money), or debt (taxing unborn babies). So, when it comes to Government its quite utilitarian to avoid doing any of these things at all. This means:

  • The Government shouldn’t decide what we can and cannot do. (A free society)
  • The Government shouldn’t decide what we should and should not see. (Free speech)
  • The Government has no special knowledge of any kind.
  • Your vote does not make these people anymore special than your vote for Australian Idol does. “Democracy is the worst form of Government, except all others that have been tried” – Winston Churchill.

For these things you require certain rights like property rights. Having property rights does mean you have the right to remove people from your property, not air statements you don’t like with your property, not allow certain materials to pass through this property. Because of this you can censor whoever the hell you can, including your own Children. D-Link sell a nice filter to block pornography from them – and those are far more decentralized than Government central filtering which creates an instant black market. You have the right to say no dammit, and it will be heavily impeded when the Government starts doing this for you.

This will occur with just about anything the Government does for you. Thanks to tobacco-tax more people than ever are getting ready to harvest tobacco this spring, and because of that we’ve lost a key hallmark of civilization. Black market tobacco is not age restricted and so the cigarette tax has created a bit of a problem when it comes to preventing access of tobacco products to teenagers. I could come up with a few examples, but you get the idea.

The Powerless Producer

Saturday, July 31, 2010

As a capitalist I believe there are many kinds of producers – honest producers. I have been asking people a lot of questions to develop a train of thought on this issue. I’ve been spending a lot of time with nurses. Some of them think they should own the world, but these producers themselves usually realize that they don’t pull as much weight in society as an engineer who designs medical equipment and helps a million people at once.

Yet, in a nationalized health system ruled by the state we must realize there are public servants who are producers. Their importance is often undervalued and I am sure there are many Government paid workers who are quite productive who have been ejected from the price system by the evil wishes of voters.

The good thing about psychiatric wards and being sexually abused is that whenever I rant about socialism and some poor fool claims that money is the root of all evil, I have an argument as fit as Francisco D’Anconnia from Atlas Shrugged. Money did not molest me.

Yet, worthless catchphrases like “Money is the root of all evil,” among many others are allowing the hidden producers, nationalized by a culture that believes that nurses are not like other people but are obligated to be nurses. The only way they can get a payrise is a strike, the only way they can get recognition is limited. Overvalued or undervalued – that is not my question.

There is a bigger loss than personal income in a socialist state. There is a loss of the dreams of the person who had to work at a welfare office, for the Government created that job, backed by the devaluation of the money of others.

We lose income, we lose freedoms, but most of all there are people on the public payroll who are no longer valued honestly and lose the respect of other people. I write this because there are far too many conservatives today who hate public workers, and not their neighbours who demand that these medical professionals be slaves.

To some an Australia without a public health system would be cruel. Yet, you end up paying for the following.

  • Any idiot who falls off a ladder because they didn’t make three points of contact at all times.
  • Every teenager taking risks with skateboards and such, become a cost.
  • Many drug related illnesses.
  • The costs of smokers.

Yet instead of blaming the socialist system of non-accountability they blame the idiots, the risktakers, the junkies, and the smokers.

This bothers me a lot because it appears a lack of seperation of the medical system and the state is the fastest road to serfdom possible. Within my lifetime I can imagine and even bet (if I were a betting man) that these and many more freedoms will be lost in the attainment of a false freedom and materialistic liberty (confiscation) – just to make a public health system fair.

Yet realistically the only fair system is capitalism. The Australian Commonwealth Government and all her states must sell these hospitals for freedom to exist. People must pay for their own mistakes, and their own misfortunes.

I can smile however as at least I have met public health system nurses, who are virtually slaves in how their labours are priced who agree with all of this. Socialism has to end, its been roughly one hundred years, and it needs to stop before we are all slaves and not just our nurses and doctors.

What makes a Government good?

Monday, July 5, 2010

Recently someone on a forum asked a rather typical question but it interested me nonetheless, it was “What makes a Government good?” The following is my answer to that question…

To me a good Government is one that remains within its bounds. Governments have to execute power by the use of force in some form or another. The Government should be restricted to protecting its citizens rights via a court system that can overrule any democratic body through a Bill of Rights. I think this is obvious to anyone, that we need a self-limiting Government, even socialists realize this.

Yet what is the nature of a Mans rights? I prefer to think that the nature of mans rights has to be derived from reality. As human beings we are born only with volitional consciousness – to live we have to act. To survive we must act as individuals and this is something with which we are born equally – we all have this ability to act except in the rare case of a birth defect or whatnot. Yet, even a mentally challenged individual has and requires the ability to act and to think freely to attain happiness.

To act individuals need to be free from the interference of other individuals and this requires objective law and police. This also requires some form of taxes. My preferred taxation would be to treat civil law and contracts as a service requiring a fee of the individuals using it to uphold agreements in advance of dispute. Also, land taxes to protect the general population. Not paying taxes for that technically puts others at risk – so as such if the money is used honestly to fund basic policing and the military it isn’t a violation of rights but the cost of having them at all.

Also to act individuals require property rights for the obvious reason that for a person to act in the physical world they need tools and other material possessions. Without property rights a man is not free to act at all as his hands are forbidden to hold anything without permission – and any system that requires that form of permission essentially makes property of people. A system focused to the needs of a human being is one that allows an individual to gain a value through trade and keep it. We are all born with a value and that is our minds, our arms, and our legs.

The only thing socialism does is divert the effort of millions of individuals through a central body with a far more limited span of intelligence and a far slimmer view of the citizens. This is why central planners are blind and the basis of the socialist calculation problem. Whenever the Government acts it is at the expense of the people so when socialists try to reallocate wealth it diverts individuals into being taxmen rather than accountants, social workers instead of psychologists, and so on. Anyone who thinks that socialism can work is avoiding the fact that it all operates on brute force. Oh the irony when the left bitch about the Iraq War.

As Ayn Rand so eloquently and simply put it: ‘Foggy metaphors, sloppy images, unfocused poetry, and equivocations—such as “A hungry man is not free”—do not alter the fact that only political power is the power of physical coercion.’

Economic Stupidity and Journalism

Sunday, May 23, 2010

I made a startling discovery today that on its own speaks for itself. In the article Dollar rout ‘stemmed by Reserve Bank the author made the following statement:

The Aussie has fallen about 11 per cent against the US dollar since the end of April and some currency strategists believe it has further to fall.

And this contradictory statement:

While forecasting currency movements is a tough task, strategists believe the Aussie’s decline is either close to or at the bottom.

I often comment that journalists seem to completely devoid of economic knowledge. This journalist however has gone to the extent of avoiding representing any position by subtly separating statements that support two contradictory outcomes by a few paragraphs.

Not just is this journalist economically illiterate but logically inept as well.

A Real Crackdown on Crime

Thursday, May 13, 2010

In Australia currently there is a rise in violent crime, organized crime, theft, drug trafficking, and more. Prisons are overcrowded and so the Magistrates and Justices deal out weak punishments and fines, and people commit even more crime. Meanwhile, our police are kept busy violating people’s property rights, making the roads more dangerous because of over-policing and poor road rules that create bad driving instead of doing what they are meant to do: protect the citizens of the Commonwealth of Australia.

As a result of this drug prices are higher and so people commit theft to obtain them. The victims of these crimes often never receive any justice because instead of dealing with things like theft the police are ordered to make the drug prices higher by committing theft and property destruction (in a moral not legal sense obviously) of peoples drugs and other property in the process. Families are ripped apart and people are literally terrorized by law enforcement in the quest to stop illicit substances.

Drug users addicted to substances tend to find after police raids that prices are suddenly obscenely high while they have the same level of addiction. Crazed users of heroin and ice commit burglaries and even assaults and murders against ordinary people as a result of the state meddling with supply and demand in an area of great moral hazard.

With more resources policing drugs the value of them increasing means that crime becomes more organized and well funded.  Carl Williams certainly wouldn’t have had the means to fund the killing of competitors and rivals with ecstasy sold on the open market with all participants protected by the law. Instead, the money drug users buy their drugs with end up in the hands of a miniature feudal empire of warring dealers who then start to buy things like weapons to protect their domain.

Simply, the attitude behind the war on drugs is that to stop drugs we must use brute force and devote law enforcement resources to stealing drug dealers property and roughing them up rather than a civilized route. The legalization of substances leaves only one terrain left with which to fight: reason. The fact is that drug use is damaging to people’s health and livelihood. Cigarettes are legal and far more addictive than most other drugs yet most people manage to quit smoking entirely on their own with only the motivation of good health. I believe that most people avoid drugs regardless of their legality for the same reasons the majority of us don’t smoke and drink responsibly.

Whether people realize it or not being rational and responsible is beneficial to their own existence. Not everyone is an alcoholic because they require self-control to go about their daily business. Not everyone is a drug-addict because a drug induced state makes their other goals impossible. All of the literature regarding substance addiction from the mental health community documents substance abuse in stages of which the final stage is when a person realizes they cannot function on the substance and being without it long term is desirable. Like most smokers quit smoking despite it having immediate effects of finance and a small sacrifice in fitness, quit because they realize it’s better to live longer than be stimulated.

A real crackdown on crime would involve restoring police to protect people directly from property theft, violence, murder, rape, and fraud rather than these current misguided attempts to “prevent suffering” with a brutal campaign against drugs. Instead of protecting people from domestic crime, the police commit domestic terrorism and destruction of property. People have their homes raided and trashed while having absolutely nothing illegal in their possession. People are robbed and murdered during the attempt because the price of a substance has been raised due to police terrorizing the merchants of drugs, and people have their futures destroyed because they are dragged into crime because of the prospect of wealth provided once again by the ban on drugs.

How do we persecute someone selling a drug that routinely and randomly kills people like heroin? Murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder. There are a lot of complexities but I am not a lawyer. Ecstasy is actually one of the safest substances around, if it weren’t for the bullshit additives put in them by the drug dealers – this is fraud, because drugs are illegal, it cannot be punished. Rather than providing the inventive for people to be honest, the ban on drugs provides people with the incentive to kill people for profit.

Remove the laws forbidding the sale and possession of drugs and that entire market shall be removed from the darkness and into the sunshine. That way the real criminals from the fraudsters selling lethal ecstasy to the murderers selling heroin are punished and not the people of the Commonwealth of Australia.

2010: A Rudd Oddesy

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Before I start discussing the budget I thought I might highlight some things about it.

  • In Early 2008 Rudd created an inflation scare and pressured the RBA to raise rates which got to a high of 7.25% in March 2008. Inflation for Q3 of 2007 was 2.1%, Q4 was 3.0% (which is outside of the RBA’s target of 2%). By Q3 2008  inflation was at 5.0%, despite the rate increases.
  • In the 2008 budget the Government had one centerpiece on the treasury website, a 20 billion dollar surplus. This surplus was generated by the party that apparently left all the evils Rudd is compelled to fight. Between May and June 2008 the amount of money on loan to the Government by non-financial intermediaries jumped an amazing 54%. Between June 2008 and the present it jumped 43.5%. I think I’ve unraveled the “mystery” behind Q3 2008 inflation – that Wayne Swan went absolutely mental with the countries credit card.
  • Before 2009 even began this surplus was handed out to pensioners. $1400 per pensioner in the name of stimulus. Keven Rudd made a crusading article against ‘extreme capitalism’ which led to the title of this blog.
  • The 2009 budget left the Government with the task of announcing a $57.4 billion dollar deficit. At the same time they announced the shit they had gotten into, they decided to spend even more money and attacked the upper middle class with insane tax hikes. Most of these guys that I meet aren’t even really the ‘sacred job producers’ that the conservatives in America cry for. They are engineers, pilots including those putting out the bushfires, and the scientists tasked with solving climate change. Around this time the Government said we would start reducing debt by 2010-2011 and have a surplus by 2014.
  • Before the 2010 budget the Government has 70.4 billion on loan to them according to the Reserve Bank of Australia. To try and curb the debt (we shall see when the next credit aggregates are put out) the lovely crew in parliament have decided to chain mining companies from nose to feet with a 40% tax and cash grab, while pissing off everyone that smokes (including myself) with a 25% tax on cigarettes.

Kevin Rudd got to where he is today with a mixture of brown-nosing and fancy talk about being a ‘fiscal conservative’ while previously claiming to be a socialist, and then claiming to be a socialist again later. I will give him one thing, he was so funny on Good News Week this year that I think he should quit his day job. He shows less integrity than the shell of a man that was his opponent Malcolm Turnbull.

This year Rudd, Swan and their Gang have said that the Henry Tax Review is essential and touches on ‘core issues’ while completely butchering it of any substance. On top of that they have restrained the growth of one of our most essential industries in the name of spreading the wealth around.

The icing on the top is that Rudd is avoiding one of the most simple reforms: welfare. There is well over $100 billion spent on welfare. With roughly 1.2 million unemployed that amounts to $75,000 a year for them. Go ask your local unemployed if they are the ones getting $75k a year. The people getting this money are pointless brown-nosing bureaucrats, some which might be fine people, but this is entirely at a loss for the economy of which they are removed from. These people could be working elsewhere or developing skills yet instead they are in unproductive forms of labor.

Populist fools whine about the unemployed getting too much from the Government and too easily. Their misguided and uninformed solution is always more pen pushers for more means tests that any sociopath with a high school diploma can crack. Mr Rudd, I don’t get it, I think anyone would be able to cut the amount of spending and return this budget to surplus.

Anyone who still thinks that Labor is the party that stands for the ‘little guy’ is a fool. This parties actions can be explained by only one motive: the Labor party believe you are too stupid to run your own life. They think that it is right to push people around with coercive measures because for them the ends always justify the means. They know best – you don’t, is the simple bottom line behind all of it.

People in frustration with all of it after discovering with wide open eyes that we live in a tyrannical state that believes censorship is necessary, only they they know how to spend your money, and that you are not capable of running your own life or planning your own retirement get angry. I have been furious about it all, and as a young man I looked for answers. They exist and merit many more articles.

Yet in the short term the best action I can suggest for anyone who believes that children deserve to be born free of the debt of their fathers mistakes, anyone who believes that people are not all innately stupid, and that people are capable of running their own lives are posed with a simple choice: vote the Liberal party – or vote that you are a worthless serf who is unable to run his own life.

The Liberal Party has a fine and simple principle: small Government. Ayn Rand wrote that ‘all Government power is physical coercion.’ I know they are not perfect but for the moment they are the best we have. Until people make their voices heard, that they are the true sovereign and purpose of Government: they will keep trying to run our lives for us, with the blind sightedness of any bureaucratic organization. Because of this all they will do is wipe-out what could have been made by ordinary honest people.

Racism in Australia and Big Government in Australia

Monday, April 5, 2010

I live in a country with retardedly morally-relativist progressive socialist politics. Essentially I am noticing that through the attempts at the Government endorsement of Sharia law and reconciliation with aboriginals for the crimes committed against their ancestors, along with ‘start work’ Keynesian programs to try and keep them employed by forcing producers to hire quotas of them, it wouldn’t surprise me if the World Government conspiracy nuts thought there was an orchestrated effort to make us hate one-another beyond simple culture shock.

Simply, this country cannot afford the economic stagnation that protectionism would create, nor the fact that our current runaway money supply problem only prevents being translated into inflation at the moment because we depend on imports, that import money being used to buy Government debt actually means the money printed to originally fund the debt is deleted. Our countries current rosy economic figures rest on the tyranny that is the Government Bond market (the tax rights to unborn children) and the tyranny of the rightless slaves who build our stuff overseas.

Every year Aboriginals in the northern territory get roughly $90,000 worth of benefits per head, which, being a rather barren place, have little to buy with. Most of it comes at one time, and usually its spent on a car that kills the uneducated owner or wounds them badly enough to cost even more in medical bills. The money that comes regularly can be spent usually on food and a fine wide ranging variety of entertainment goods: DVD players, TVs, pornography, alcohol, drugs, and petrol to sniff… This makes people think aboriginals are pretty stupid, yet what about the brave faced fools in Parliament? They are the ones who insist that without this money, they are bereft of any kind of luxury at all.

Yet who is stupider than the people in Parliament? Nobody other than the fools who chose to accept a creed of racism as a result of their own wrongs. John Howard tried to turn the money into basic food stamps, to at least clean the Treasuries hands of certain substance related problems, however he doubled the police state.

This is the same with Muslim hatred over the supply of Halal meat to all Children just because the socialist progressives in the Department of Education can’t handle the hate mail from a bunch of parents. Has anybody realized that even if every seat in Parliament is taken by some hard line racist like Paulene Hanson, that she has to end the tyranny that is a centrally planned education system? See, there is this other side of Big Government which is unelected: the government employees. They make all of the little decisions, voting Family First won’t save you.

I’d love to see what the progressives come up with to combat racism, probably censorship, which will just incite even more racism.

Another good question, and mind the French, why are you all so fucking stupid in the first place for me to need to write this blog? Think about this. Because you really are fucking stupid Australia, incredibly.

Simply if we had a bill of wrongs, as Steven Spadijer calls it, or a negative bill of rights as it is called – little of this would even be possible. Nobody could force you to provide for someone you don’t want to, except the only people on earth who need positive rights: children. They are the only people you are obliged to support. This is pretty simple to do though, if parents can’t afford to send their own kids to school, and for only about 4% of them would this be this poor, and I am sure charity can provide the difference.

The simple fact is school being available does not mean a one-sized fits all school system is required. Some call it religious segregation, however I call it freedom of expression and freedom of speech, along with property rights. Simply, if people want schools to cater specifically to their needs, they should just build their bloody own schools. I don’t care why they are built, only that kids learn to read, write, and use a calculator. If I were MP in this perfect world, I’d inspect them myself to see if they uphold that simple standard.

Stop this Us & Them rubbish, it could literally be the death of us.

John Tate.
