And if you want to see the kind of Sunshine Conservatives I despise, try this below.

fuck-it-i-voted-sticker

The difference between Trump and Hillary is so immense you have to be a voting-for-a-living type at the bottom of the income pile, or else a complete idiot. With Trump you are getting everything a conservative ought to want. If you are so dumb and ignorant about what is at stake this time round, then you are as big a fool as anyone who has ever lived. Such dummies on the right, who take their opinions from the New York Times and Washington Post!

These are the kinds of things you will know only if you put yourself in the way of knowing them. The number of people we associate with who do not even know the existence of Wikileaks never mind their contents is quite astounding. You would not even know it’s possible, never mind that these are the issues they choose to ignore:

John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign chair, who was also a counselor to President Obama at the time, was the recipient of the 2014 email which was released today.

Assange promised his latest batch of leaks would lead to the indictment of Hillary, and it looks like he was not kidding. The email proves Hillary knew and was complicit in the funding and arming of ISIS by our ‘allies’ Saudi Arabia and Qatar!

“the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL…” Clinton wrote

wikileaks

The media is yet to report on this, even though Wikileaks has a 10-year history of being 100% accurate in their leaks, never once releasing info that proved to be false.

…Can you guess why?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that The Saudi’s brag about funding 20% of Hillary’s Presidential campaign, and along with Qatar, are among the largest donors to the CLINTON FOUNDATION.

Is it any mystery now why ISIS has flourished under the Obama/Clinton administration? The United States has created armed and funded the terrorists overthrowing Syria via our Terrorist State allies. When you know this it makes you look at the situation in Syria differently. Perhaps Russia and Iran are the ones fighting ISIS, it stands to reason once you know we are fighting Russia, and at the same time arming ISIS.

Clinton’s campaign and her Clinton Foundation are literally funded by the SAME PEOPLE who are funding ISIS and killing hundreds of thousands of innocents in the Middle East, and now, even here at home.

This is nothing short of TREASON. Hillary must be sent to trial and held accountable for crimes against humanity and Treason against the United States of America.

We know the media will do all in their power to bury this story so it is up to us to use social media to make sure every voter in America knows this before they cast their vote for president on Nov 8th. You know what to do …

There are already more than enough reasons not to vote for Hillary and then to convict. All by way of making Tim Kaine president.

The RBA is worried we are saving too much!!!

The only reason I still get The Oz is because it has two sudokus and as I was turning to these tonight, what should be on the front page of the business section but this: Are we saving too much? Weak spending a risk to our economy. Now just because the world is coming to an end tomorrow is no reason not to comment on such idiocy. These Keynesians are as bad as Democrats, probably because each is the same as the other. But really, what can you do with such stuff?

The weak state of household consumption is a key risk to economic growth with little evidence that people are cutting their savings to raise spending levels, as the Reserve Bank expects. . . .

The Reserve Bank’s essential thesis about the economy is that consumers will support growth during the current period of weak household incomes by running down their savings to support spending. Eventually, this will lift demand to a point where non-mining businesses will start to invest.

You know, this is so ignorant that it quite takes the breath away. Do they really believe such things? Does anyone? Have they not been paying attention for the past eight years? I will just say it again, not that anyone understands it, but no economy grows from the demand side. All momentum comes from value adding production. To depend on retail sales and consumer demand to provide an economy with its drive is to depend on what has never ever happened in history to happen for the first time. It really is amazing to me to find that I remain the only one in step. Say’s Law is the single most important principle in the whole of economics, precisely because it is the one principle that is not intuitively obvious. If they really think our economies are suffering low growth because we are saving too much they will never ever understand a single thing of consequence about how an economy works.

Open borders wasn’t such a good idea after all

Our political elites are so stupid and vile it is hard to imagine how we ended up with these people making our collective decisions. None of the damage they do is ever visited on themselves but there is plenty to go around for the rest of us. So we get this, although far far too late: ‘DON’T COME HERE!’ Merkel migrant U-turn as Germany orders EU to SEND BACK boats to Africa. The first line.

ANGELA Merkel today performed an extraordinary U-turn on mass migration as Germany ordered the EU to begin turning back boats full of asylum seekers crossing the Mediterranean.

You can read it all at the link. But the real point is how stupidly incompetent these people are, incapable of understanding the obvious even when it’s right before their eyes. She has brought ruin to the European continent which will not survive her idiotic vandalism other than as a physical location.

Where’s the outrage?

I wonder if LIQ will continue with his advice to accept the result if Trump wins. It is now fully understood that the Democrats will do everything they can to steal this election, and this is the official view of the left from the President on down. The question is whether Trump can win beyond the range of deceit. So, as we head into the home stretch.

CONFUSED COMEY CLEARS HER AGAIN!
TRUMP: ‘SHE’S PROTECTED BY RIGGED SYSTEM’
POLL: THISCLOSE
TRUMP MARATHON SUNDAY
CLINTON WARNS ‘FAKE’ WIKIS COMING

Astonishing reversal by Comey, somehow managing to sift through 650,000 emails in a few days. It still seems to me that the aim is to make Tim Kaine president. She wins and is then indicted seems simple enough, but of course she first has to win. Comey re-opening the investigation suddenly brought Trump back to life so here they close it again. That they did shift back does make it seem that there now is a genuine possibility that Trump could win.

But what most of this has done is sidetrack the election from Trump’s main issue, which is open borders. The United States will be about as wealthy as Argentina when all this is over, with the same sort of distribution of income. Fascinating to have watched all of this even if extremely depressing.

In the sheltering darkness of the long evenings

We went to see the new movie version of The Diary of Ann Frank yesterday. Before we went, my wife asked me why we were going, and I had no real answer. At the end, we both felt fortunate that we had seen the film. Since you know how it ends, the sense of oppression never lifts.

And as it happens, the picture above was just sent to us yesterday and comes with this text via Prodos:

German Rabbi & Philosopher, Leo Baeck, was one of the prisoners in the Terezín concentration camp, sent there in 1943.

He wrote later:

“In the sheltering darkness of the long evenings, they were together in the cold and gloomy attic of a barrack, close under the roof.

“There they stood, pressed close to each other, to hear a talk about the Bible and the Talmud, about Plato, Aristotle, Maimonides, about Descartes and Spinoza, about Locke and Hume and Kant or about days and problems of history, about poetry and art and music, about Palestine of old and today, about the Commandments, the Prophets, and the Messianic idea.

“All those hours were hours in which a community arose out of the mass and the narrowness grew wide.

“They were hours of freedom.”

The revolt of the dispossessed

I have been re-reading Christopher Lasch’s brilliant The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy which was published more than a decade ago. It’s about the we-know-what’s-best-for-you types who have risen to the top of power structures across the world. A brief but inadequate summary but you’ll get the point:

Controversy has raged around Lasch’s targeted attack on the elites, their loss of moral values, and their abandonment of the middle class and poor, for he sets up the media and educational institutions as a large source of the problem. In this spirited work, Lasch calls out for a return to community, schools that teach history not self-esteem, and a return to morality and even the teachings of religion. He does this in a nonpartisan manner, looking to the lessons of American history, and castigating those in power for the ever-widening gap between the economic classes, which has created a crisis in American society. The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy is riveting social commentary.

If you want to understand the attractions of Donald Trump, there is no better place I can think to look. And if you want an even better idea what it’s all about, you should read The economic losers are in revolt against the elites by Martin Wolf [perfect name] in The Financial Times.

Losers have votes, too. That is what democracy means — and rightly so. If they feel sufficiently cheated and humiliated, they will vote for Donald Trump, a candidate for the Republican party’s presidential nomination in the US, Marine Le Pen of the National Front in France or Nigel Farage of the UK Independence party. . . .

It is not hard to see why ordinary people, notably native-born men, are alienated. They are losers, at least relatively; they do not share equally in the gains. They feel used and abused. After the financial crisis and slow recovery in standards of living, they see elites as incompetent and predatory. The surprise is not that many are angry but that so many are not.

Branko Milanovic, formerly of the World Bank, has shown that only two parts of the global income distribution enjoyed virtually no gains in real incomes between 1988 and 2008: the poorest five percentiles and those between the 75th and the 90th percentile. The latter includes the bulk of the population of high-income countries.

The Clinton Foundation is the perfect example of how our elites operate. They shaft you and steal your money, and most importantly, they use government as their major tool to syphon the wealth of the hard-working majority to themselves and their friends.

The argument for Western civilisation

From Trump’s two-minute final ad: “The Argument for America”.

Meanwhile I am looking at what passes for financial sense at the AFR where its coverage of the American election is from #Never Trump’s master moron, Bill Kristol, with the heading “Not My Kind of Conservative”. Presumably, Hillary is more his kind of conservative, although what exactly will be conserved by four years of Hillary is an unknown.

It is now down to the wire. The drift is towards Trump but Democrat larceny never ends. But what makes this exceptional is that even now, with all of the media only one way, it is still possible that Trump may win.

Meanwhile, you should see this, which is just one of many similar examples that can be found all over the net. She is an uncontrollable psychopath. Watch.

This is about freedom of speech, both in content and in actual circumstance.

Picked up at Diana West’s website, The Death of the Grown-Up. In this case, she is talking about the roots of a worldwide problem where the left believes it has the right and the duty to silence anyone with a different point of view. It goes back a long way. A very engaging presentation as well.
