SOMETHING SMELLY IN THE STATE OF ............(fill in the blank with your Western state)

I wrote recently about the 'big brother' impulse (aka neo-Marxist social engineering) to report parents of fat kids as needing government intervention in the form of 'child protection' orders:

Having just returned from a grocery shopping trip I feel it necessary to reflect on government policies such as; subsidies, tariffs, minority social projects, ideologically driven energy experiments, excessive taxes etc, and how these often ideologically driven supernumerary taxes are driving the costs of everything through the roof, and in this most recent case, fresh and healthy foods.

For the first time in human history poverty in the West now takes the form of obesity as opposed to extreme gauntness and it is big-government ideology's which are the primary factors behind the problem.

Which brings me to the issue raised in my aforementioned article and raises the question; is it right that the same government who plays such a significant role in causing these fat kids (fast foods are easily available and so much cheaper than healthy foods) be allowed to blame the parents of these kids and threaten them with legal penalties?

These 'laws' and interference's plus the myriad of others like them are an illustration of how the ideological policies of the Labor/Green alliance (and unfortunately I now include the 'labor-lite' Liberal/Nat alliance) are undermining our society.

Where are we headed? Are we heading down the same road as Zimbabwe, a socialist 'paradise' wherein Mugabe has 'nationalised the farmlands out of existence, and has in the words of this Zimbabwean journalist, 'engineered' the famine?:

A flicker of Esinathi Dube's deep-set eyes is the only significant sign of life in a room where starvation has brought a pervasive fear of death. Her eldest daughter, Agnes, succumbed in February; Esinathi predicts that she will soon follow. Another daughter, Sipho, lies at her side weeping away the pain of hunger.

"Agnes was a strong girl but she died because she did not eat," says Esinathi. "We could not afford to buy food and the hospitals turned us away when we looked for help."

The two sisters, aged 32 and 34, should have been the first generation of black Zimbabweans to benefit from Robert Mugabe's rule as the first democratically elected leader of the nation. When the liberation hero turned dictator and engineered a famine, however, Agnes and thousands of others joined a long list of the regime's victims. Sipho is one of thousands more who hover on the brink.

Food shortages have pushed Zimbabwean prices to unaffordable levels. A loaf of bread in Bulawayo costs 2,500 Zimbabwe dollars, the equivalent of 30p, but also the same as the average monthly pension. As a result, an estimated 5.5 million Zimbabweans depend on food aid.

Before you scoff and laugh at the suggestion that we could end up like Zimbabwe, consider the equally tragic example of Venezuela where people are eating from garbage skips, another 'socialist paradise' reaching its inevitable conclusion:

Remember the rolling blackouts, the shortages of common supplies, like toilet paper, the eating of zoo animals (and domestic animals) because people were starving, the looting, and the spikes in crime? Yeah, that’s all coming from the socialist utopia of Venezuela. The medical system has also totally collapsed, with hospitals not having basic items like gloves or soap. One doctor described the situation as “something out of the 19th century.” Then, there’s the footage of Venezuelans eating out of garbage cans because of the food shortage. On average, people have lost 19 pounds due to food shortages. It’s a total disaster. Now, the military has been caught eating from the garbage. [M Vespa, TownHall]

The freedoms we currently enjoy did not merely materialise out of some evolutionary haze or because of some inevitability gene, any cursory study of history will show how many have struggled for, and hard won the benefits we now take for granted. And do you really believe that these privileges are going to stick around just because we live in the 'West'.

No! There are forces at work every day trying to bring down these privilege we take for granted.

Lenin's 'useful idiots' abound in Australia and around the West, usually taking the form of the politically correct, the bored housewives of privilege, the indoctrinated university students, the drop-outs of Nimbim, the rusted-on unthinking voters of the union movement and the assorted loons of the various eco-movements.

We are indoctrinated every day by an almost unending stream of curses on the roots of our culture. The West is constantly denigrated as 'racist' imperialist, capitalistic, homophobic, Islamophobic, every phobia and or negative adjective that the 'progressive' oligarchy can conjure up is being thrown at our heads on an almost hourly basis. We are living in an era of mass indoctrination never before experienced in the history of mankind, it is unrelenting and obsessive and its aim is to destroy our freedoms and ultimately to enslave us.

To paraphrase what was said (allegedly) by Edmond Burke about providing evil the oxygen to survive: "...all it takes is for good men(and women) to do nothing"!

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROTTING VEGETABLES PEOPLE!
