Reject fakery

My wife and I love wildlife, we spent much of our free time when living in South Africa visiting various game reserves where we would sit for hours watching animals interact with each other (sometimes eating one another) and acting instinctively, and amusingly as animals do. We have therefore enjoyed wildlife programming on TV particularly the well made ones...which makes the new crop so irritating.
I think it probably started with Attenborough but the anthropomorphising of wildlife has reached ridiculous proportions.
Tonight I started watching the 'Migrations' program with Alex Baldwin narrating. It soon reached such absurd levels of emotional manipulation that I had to switch it off even though the photography was fantastic.
The green religion and its superficial emotionalism has influenced everyone and everything to such a degree that  they are ruining even the natural world, the very thing that they say they are trying to'save'. But this is exactly what the law of unintended consequences illustrates. I have spoken of it in earlier blogs so will not repeat myself save to say that until we reject these imposters and their fake belief system we and the world we inhabit will suffer the consequences.

Churchillian cooling

Perhaps as Churchill so eruditely opined; 'this is not the end nor even is it the beginning of the end, but it is perhaps the end of the beginning" (or words to that effect) and so too do we at last observe some evidence that the world wide scam, aka: Anthropogenic Global warming, has also tipped its zenith. Read the  following blog:

...to gain some hope that the deep-green (neo Marxist) attack on Western democracy/capitalism has begun to crumble at the edges (like the Arctic ice cap perhaps!!). The only problem now is that environmentalists, scientists, journalists and politicians have been seen to be mendacious, deceitful and manipulative, which makes empirical evidence, genuine environmental concerns, information dissemination, the rule of law and common civility the real victims of this abomination. Chaos wins...for now!

Truth & Lies

Many are the lies spread about the Jews and Israel. Frequent are the untruths and many are undoubtedly motivated by an anti-Semitic impulse. I know that I have been astounded by some 'Christians' who bristle with indignation that the Jews are still referred to as a 'chosen people' and claim that the New Testament transfers that honour to us (as I am one as well) and us alone. Again I believe that such a claim harbours at the very least, a soupcon of anti-Semitic 'flavouring'.

The current impasse in Israel is in truth not an intractable issue at all, particularly if, as is claimed, prior possession is the imprimatur of ownership (i.e. pre 1948). Of course those who make these claims are nearly all from the Pro Palestinian camp, but like too many ‘intellectuals’ within the contemporary Left-wing political commissariat, they are ‘bitten on the bum’ by their own woefully inadequate grasp of history. For example; consider the truth claims within the following extract to ‘whet your archaeological whistle’ as it were:

Jerusalem: The Biography By Simon Sebag Montefiore;Orion, 696pp,

To the educated British mind, mention of Jerusalem generally conjures up, at best, impatience with the apparently intractable problem of reconciling two equal and rival claims to the city, Jewish and Arab; at worst, fury at a presumed ‘occupation’ by Israelis who have no right to claim it as their capital at all.

Such people would doubtless be amazed to learn that, some 10 centuries before the birth of Christ and 17 centuries before the birth of Mohammed, the city of Jerusalem was created by King David as the capital of the united kingdom of Israel and Judea. The Jews were in fact the only people for whom the land of Israel was ever actually their national home.

And the Arabs knew it. ‘Who can contest the rights of the Jews to Palestine?’ the then mayor of Jerusalem, Yusuf Khalidi, told the Chief Rabbi of France in 1899: ‘God knows historically it is indeed your country’—even though, he added, the problem was that now there were others living there too.

Unfortunately for those who scream blue murder at any and all Israeli attempts to defend themselves from annihilation, no amount of truth, true or otherwise, will convince them to give up their assault. For what they are driven by is a lot less complex that the situation has been called. It is the same spirit that drove the Nazi's, the Russians and even the religious fanatics who claimed to persecute in the name of the Church, and He will never give it up, He can’t; for it is His very nature.

Left/Right

King Solomon in the bible was reputed to be the wisest man in creation. He is also strongly suggested to be the author of Ecclesiastes, which means that the following quote is by definition a wise one:

Ecclesiastes 10:2..."The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

Makes you think doesn't it!

thwarted ambitions

I am not an advocate of conspiracy theories, but I do believe that we can and ought to be feeling a little nervous about the authoritarian nonsense emerging from the throats of some of Australia's most prominent policy influencers:

Dalliances with authoritarianism are never far from the fringes of the green movement.

Prominent green activist, Clive Hamilton, for instance, has suggested that the ‘suspension of democratic processes' might be a necessary ‘emergency' response to the threat of climate change. Sydney Morning Herald columnist Elizabeth Farrelly recently wrote that ‘Australia's ludicrous dithering on a pollution tax' was evidence that voting should be a ‘privilege' rather than a right and that China should be envied because it need not ‘pander' to voters.

...Like Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, Tim Flannery is not averse to using the power of the state to enforce his views. He has openly fantasised about judicial punishments being handed out in the future to those who doubt climate science today. ‘Perhaps the day will come when a prosecutor in some yet-to-be-formed international court will appear with a copy of Scorcher under his arm,' he has said, referring to Clive Hamilton's book attacking the ‘greenhouse mafia' of citizens and businesses who are sceptical about man's contribution to climate change.
(James Patterson from  the Institute of Public Affairs)

These are but a few of the thoughts beginning to be spoken out as these closet authoritarians are being frustrated in their aims to shackle the economy.

First scare!

A marvellous capture of the stupidity behind the AGW scare, a must read for a laugh: http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/index.php/dailytelegraph/comments/toads_to_mussels_a_world_of_warming_firsts/
