Gillard:What a great fool - for a ''great negotiator''!

Created 10 -36 am Wednesday 29 February 2012


What a great fool - for a ''great negotiator''!
It did not take the Labor / Gillard oligarchical kindergarten kops long to create a series of humiliations for the great party of the left.


I am now reduced to misspelt onomatopoeic alliteration to demonstrate with poetic licence - to prove that this wonderful negotiator whom  the self -  serving  Independents / Greens and the apparatchiks / faceless / faction - laden  men who merely hours ago  proudly gave their support to - messed up big time.


She who is is capable of heroically overseeing 5 catastrophes within mere hours of her decimation of Rudd.
It should have been the low - point of her career - and typically we have been lulled by the left  - still lauding her as a hero of the proletariat!


I ask: what role did she and / or Labor factional heavies play in:




  1.  The inarguable forced resignation of Mark Arbib. How could she think it was a good idea at the time? 
  2. Failing to realize the consequences of approaching Bob Carr for Rudd's job.
  3. Making yet another unilateral attempt to destroy the nascent solar industry / hot water rebate.
  4. Japan refusing to lie about their ETS plans. Guaranteed that the cadres of this  unique brand of cacophonist communism will not even contemplate any of these words in their ethereal, nether  race - to - the bottom world of mediocrity.
  5. Discussions encouraged by acolytes - as to purge or not to purge Rudd supporters from her inchoate ministry. Remember that the 'purge' concept is strictly communist or medical! 




Wait - there is the sickening contemplation of what this unilateral government acting with unsurpassed, unalloyed, ululating and unreconstructed foolishness, can still unreservedly, nay proudly destroy industries.


The power firms face a $4 bn slug which they will pass on to consumers and business - which make products / supply services which other businesses use or need , and these people will then pass it all on to consumers. - ad - continuum!


Oh - that is not where it ends.
Soon even this economically illiterate, irrational mob will realize that their grand,  proud, socialist  plan for ever - increasing 'carbon' imposts will ensure they cannot even pretend to be able to compensate anyone!


They will have to admit that it is all a puerile, pathetic attempt at redistribution of wealth - by destroying wealth! With Vietnam connotations intended!


By this time these will be out of office  - and history will surely have trouble recording their hundreds of  catastrophes.
Contemplate what they say, what they do, what they deny that they said or did,what they fail to finish, what they seek to impugn, what they fail to do, what excuses they proffer for all of the above.
And through it all - the enquiries - which they generate only to ignore the results of the hapless bureaucrats who merely try to guess what is wanted of them!


I guess they glibly do all this thinking no - one will believe the message in a bottle.
A classical, unique world of multi - layered, genuine conspiracies.


Oh - and the ultimate perversity of it all? I have not had to  make a real attempt at listing their asinine ideas.
the reader will have to comply it in the annals / windmills of their mind.

Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning, 
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnaval balloon
Like a carousell that's turning
Running rings around the moon


Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind


Like a tunnel that you follow 
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble 
Someone tosses in a stream.


Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind


Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle your head
Why did summer go so quickly 
Was it something that I said
Lovers walking allong the shore, 
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming 
Just the fingers of your hand


Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces

Julia resides in the ethereal post modernist world of the Labor proletariat.

Composed 28 Feb 2012 @1, 25 pm

Congrats to Julia Gillard; you beat an equally flawed albeit far more talented Kevin Rudd.

You can now safely contemplate broaching double figures in the polls - and your socialist party will rewrite basic performance standards.
A race to the bottom, to abuse the left's favourite phrase.

Contemplate how business would treat your performances, dear lady and consider yourself lucky that you reside in the ethereal post modernist world of the Labor proletariat.

Long live Oceania and  failure! War is peace! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength! Down with Goldstein!
May clear thinking remain undefined amongst economically and politically irrational socialists.

Decline and fall of social democracy



TEETH bared and hissing in action, Rudd and Gillard, the cobra and the mongoose of Labor politics, seem intent on giving fresh life to the famous opening lines of Marx's The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte: "Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce."
But Labor's leadership farce merely plays out of a deeper trend: the crisis of social democracy.
Consider this: in elections held from 1960 to 1969, the social democratic parties in the advanced economies secured more than 40 per cent of the vote. By 1980-89, that was down to 36 per cent; since then, it has declined to 28 per cent.
Even taking only social democracy's strongest brands, the collapse from their highest postwar point is extraordinary: a fall of 35 per cent for the Norwegian DNA, 33 per cent for the Danish SD, and 32 per cent each for the Austrian SPO and the Dutch PvdA. As for the formerly all-powerful Swedish SAP, the 2000s have seen its worst electoral performance since the 1920s. And closer to home, New Zealand Labour's share of the vote fell from 43 per cent in 1984 to a near record low of 27 per cent in 2011.


Everywhere, social democracy's underlying problems are the same. The class struggle, once a bad metaphor, now a hopeless anachronism, is of less relevance to voters, and especially the younger among them, than the most gormless of TV shows.
As for the welfare state, having long exceeded the limits of its efficiency, it has now hit those of affordability. And the unions, historically the movement's shock troops, have hemorrhaged not merely members but legitimacy and vision, becoming ever more fiercely wedded to yesterday's entitlements than to tomorrow's opportunities.
Social democracy has therefore lost both its unifying ideas and its social pillars. And as that has happened, the parties have become breeding grounds for third-rate apparatchiks, bound together only by the drive for office and hence prone to conflicts as savage as they are devoid of higher purpose.
But perhaps it did not need to be like that. And in the 1980s it seemed it might not be. Of the six finance ministers who spearheaded the dramatic reforms of that period, five -- Roger Douglas (New Zealand), Jacques Delors (France), Kjell-Olof Feldt (Sweden), Paul Keating (Australia) and Miguel Boyer Salvador (Spain) -- were men of the Left holding senior positions in centre-left governments. (The sixth was 


Thatcher's chancellor of the exchequer, Nigel Lawson.) Theirs was a pragmatic response to the problems they faced: stagflation; eroded work incentives; inflexible labour markets; the manifest failures of public ownership. But it could have set the basis for an aggiornamento of social democracy to the modern world.
All too soon, however, the old drove out the new. And social democracy turned its back on the reformers as on the reforms. Douglas broke with the New Zealand Labour Party in 1993; Boyer, who had been imprisoned by the Franco regime, denounced his former party in 1996; Feldt remained in the Swedish party, but became a bitter critic of its policies; as for Keating, his loyalties are undoubted, but he is admired by his tribe more for his cultural agenda than for his reforming zeal.
Thus purged, their parties divided into mutually suspicious factions, none capable of putting forward the comprehensible, credible platform needed to durably claim government. The outer trappings of faith preserved but the inner compulsions gone, they instead turned to apparent clean skins and their gimmicks, such as Tony Blair's "third way" and Kevin Rudd's "new Labor". But these were holes without doughnuts, and it was only a matter of time before they vanished into thin air. Nor was it a great loss when they did.
But nowhere was the fallout as brutal as here. Not, as Gillard pretends, because of Rudd's character flaws, however serious they may be; but because no social democratic party remains as subject to its faceless men as the ALP. And nowhere was the return of social democracy's most retrograde elements as complete.
Little wonder Gillard's crowning achievement is the Fair Work Act, internationally unparalleled in the range of powers it grants unions. Little wonder too that under Labor's watch, Australia is the only advanced economy that has renationalised its telecommunications network. And little wonder the three policies Gillard boasts of -- the carbon tax, the mining tax and the clawing back of the health insurance rebate -- are tax slugs, used to fund spending cloaked in the politics of envy.
For these, Gillard is paying a price, made greater by the fact that like all regicides, she has been forced to march into battle backwards. And today's vote will make no difference to the coming electoral denouement, for haunted by promises made and then broken, and mauled by the man she ousted but could not destroy, Gillard is finished and Labor with her.
But what its long term holds is still in Labor's hands. Which brings us back to Marx's essay. Its dazzling description of the chicaneries that allowed Louis Napoleon, elected France's first president in 1848, to return as its emperor in 1852, could easily be mistaken for an account of Labor's soap opera: the parliamentarians, for example, who "out of family regard for the state salaries so near and dear to them", are petrified of choosing between the competing candidates, as they are trapped "between two showers of blows, with the problem of deciding which will prove the harder".
Yet Marx's point was more profound than his comic wording suggests. It was that the repetition is a farce precisely because history cannot repeat itself. There can be no going back; and those who try to are condemned, like the plotters of 1852, to see "history transform their every intention into its opposite".
Lacking the courage to analyse "with unmerciful thoroughness the inadequacies, weaknesses and paltriness of their attempts", and hence to learn, they are inevitably reduced to the "humbug of a world view whose real heroes are dead".
That is the existential issue Labor faces, as do its sister parties: whether it can finally adapt to the world of the future; or whether it will persist in futilely seeking to recreate the world of the past.
The battle between Rudd and Gillard can, in Marx's words, only result in the "mutual destruction of the warring opposites".
The question for Labor is whether out of that bloodbath, it can rise to be any more than an "anachronism, the final phase of which is its comedy, and which history, being thorough, will convey to the grave".

  March of the socialists

Half of sense, half of sense
Onward march Labor's incompetents
Into the Monday of death ...
Forward! the Lightweight Brigade
Charge for the guns -  inverted barrels ignored,
Into the valley of the House,
 Rode the socialists.
 
      Some one had blunder'd: 
Their's not to make reply, 
Their's not to reason why,  
Their's but to do and die:  
Into the valley of Death 
      Rode the one hundred. 

Cannon to right of them, 
Cannon to left of them, 
Cannon in front of them 
      Volley'd and thunder'd; 
Storm'd at with shot and shell, 
Boldly they rode and well, 
Into the jaws of Death, 
Into the mouth of Hell 
      Rode the one  hundred.

Half a league, half a league, 
      Half a league onward, 
All in the valley of Death 
      Rode the six hundred. 
'Forward, the Light Brigade! 
Charge for the guns!' he said: 
Into the valley of Death 
      Rode the six hundred. 

'Forward, the Light Brigade!' 
Was there a man dismay'd ? 
Not tho' the soldier knew 
      Some one had blunder'd: 
Their's not to make reply, 
Their's not to reason why,  
Their's but to do and die:  
Into the valley of Death

Boldly they rode and well, 
Into the jaws of Death, 
Into the mouth of Hell 
      Rode the six hundred. 

Flash'd all their sabres bare, 
Flash'd as they turn'd in air 
Sabring the gunners there, 
Charging an army, while 
      All the world wonder'd: 
Plunged in the battery-smoke 
Right thro' the line they broke; 
Cossack and Russian 
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke 
      Shatter'd and sunder'd. 
Then they rode back, but not 
      Not the six hundred. 

Cannon to right of them, 
Cannon to left of them, 
Cannon behind them 
      Volley'd and thunder'd; 
Storm'd at with shot and shell, 
While horse and hero fell, 
They that had fought so well 
Came thro' the jaws of Death, 
Back from the mouth of Hell, 
All that was left of them, 
      Left of six hundred. 

When can their glory fade ? 
O the wild charge they made! 
      All the world wonder'd. 
Honour the charge they made! 
Honour the Light Brigade, 
      Noble six hundred!
 
Half a league, half a league, 
      Half a league onward, 
All in the valley of Death 
      Rode the six hundred. 
'Forward, the Light Brigade! 
Charge for the guns!' he said:

Both protagonists unashamedly promulgate failed socialist policies

Both protagonists unashamedly promulgate failed socialist policies: everything these incompetents have done over the past few years have been demonstrable failures. There are scores of matters of material import that have exorated them.
 
Being of the left of a socialist party means they think apologies or change of direction or even a change of attitude - is not needed.
So - on they roll - claiming to be viable government.
 
The electorate are already wielding baseball  bats; Labor will try to ensure the anger becomes worse.
They do not understand

It ain't easy being  a socialist cow.
 
Neither of Labors' prize cow / bull vary in essential  policy: pathetically neither seemingly understands that they have messed up everything they touched - and it is reflected in the polls.
 
They both wax lyrical about trading hot air - and plainly do not understand that trading  government permits fail the test everywhere.
 
It is a gigantic fraud in Europe - and will be even worse by the time these ruminanting ruminants are tossed out of office.

Neither Rudd or Gillard have the common sense to realize that their policies are all - wrong - the electorate has plainly rejected them.
It is plainly reflected in the polls.
Just mere listening to the duo's campaign speeches eviscerating each other, their troglodyte's blaming the opposition for their own failures and you come to realize that they will never learn....

In 1963 Whitlam referred to ''the 36 faceless men:''  Labor's Federal Executive adjudicating on policy. Menzies soon used it to deadly advantage.

Methinks they really do not understand why they rate catastrophically in the polls: plainly former supporters have deserted them, even non - political people have lacerated them.

Neither of them have any intention to change their wasteful, asinine policies re carbon tax and hair - brained green schemes, NBN white elephant, illegal immigrants and scores of implausibly foolish waste of billions.

Neither the didactic, self - claimed 'social conservative' Rudd or Gillard with the shrill drones [I do not think it oxymoronic] deserve to be leaders of a once great party.

Neither of the duo's / the party's policies stand scrutiny: never could they win a rational debate in justifying them.
