DON’T CALL ME DADDY

Editorial by Barbara Proctor.

Syndicated from Barbara Proctor’s personal blog.

Many Christians (substitute «liberal», «conservative», «American», «Muslim», or whatever box you are close to and this whole rant will work just as well) are guilted into believing that by failing to toe the party line and check all the boxes on the policy card handed out by the neo-Christian-conservative political policy makers makes you somehow disloyal to God. It’s like those Facebook memes that say if you don’t share a picture of Jesus on a social website whose sole purpose is to figure out what you want so they can sell it to you, then you don’t love God. It’s rank manipulation. Don’t fall for it.

There are many issues on the ticket. Evolution, blind trust in «authority», gay marriage. But Jesus removed the priesthood from the mix. It is now only Him and The Spirit between you and God. You don’t have to call anybody else «Daddy.»

It’s ok to say that lesbians being married doesn’t hurt you, and it doesn’t threaten your Christianity.

Take a minute to look at the two women featured in this article from The Ticket, then explain to yourself (don’t explain to me, it’s not my business) how letting them have a piece of paper from the courthouse just like you have makes your life any less meaningful, your marriage less valuable, your devotion to God any less real or makes this country any less strong. If you still believe it, then vote your heart. (My heart says, «View with horror and disgust any piece of legislation that attempts to control through mob rule the personal details of individual lives.») But I’m skeptical you can honestly say God wants you to be wrapped around a pole about this.

It’s ok to make up your own mind. There will always be people who will build a box for you to live in so that you will be just like them; I assume it’s so they can feel validated in their opinions. Doesn’t mean you have to get in it.

There will always be people who build a box for you so that you will be exactly like all other people they’ve decided you must be indistinguishable from and demand that you conform to it. I assume it’s so they can feel validated in their distrust for people who aren’t like them.

Still doesn’t mean you have to get in it.

NEW BOOK: TWISTING THE TREATY

Article by Tim Wikiriwhi.

Syndicated from Eternal Vigilance.

Six notable authors have just published a challenging new book about the way the Treaty of Waitangi has been twisted to be greatly in favor of Maori tribes over the last thirty years. These distortions include the rewriting of our [New Zealand’s] history by political “historians,” the never-ending so called Treaty Claim process, and the privatization and relinquishment of our foreshore and seabed, as well as our native flora and fauna, and the rights that apply to our sea fishery.

If you are interested in these matters, then this book, Twisting the Treaty – a Tribal Grab for Wealth and Power provides readily readable discussion on these topics. The Cover below.

Warning – the book is factual and is not politically correct; one of its charms in my view.
The book is available at a retail cost of $40. It has 414 pages and 16 photo pages, but, with 16 self-contained chapters, it does not have to be read all at once.

Where to obtain it:
1.  Good bookstores throughout NZ,
2.  Write to Tross Publishing, P O Box 22 143, Khandallah, Wellington, 6441 with your order and cheque,
3.  Also see our website, www.trosspublishing.co.nz for info and to order online.

Enjoy your reading.

HOW THE CENSUS MESHES WITH BANKRUPT TOTALITARIAN SOCIALISM

Article by Tim Wikiriwhi.

Syndicated from Eternal Vigilance.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr. Wikiriwhi is a Transegoist sympathizer; not a Transegoist — our syndication of his article does not indicate that he endorses the Transegoist philosophy.

On the reoccurring theme of «What is the proper roll of government?» I submit to you a frank article about the New Zealand census.

Thomas Jefferson wrote “He who governs best governs least.” He penned the American Declaration of Independence, which actually defined what the proper duties of government are: to defend the God given rights of the individual, which is a very limited sphere of operation, which does not include the supply or control of such services as education, hospitals, arts and sports, etc, all of which are the proper sphere of free enterprise and private, voluntary associations.

It is because western society has forgotten such enlightened principles which motivated Jefferson and the founding fathers of America, and instead have adopted a totalitarian socialist conception of government where the prevailing belief is that all of life’s problems have political solutions, as a result of which, Western civilization teeters on the brink of absolute economic collapse and chaos.

Understand the gravity of the situation; the rationale that underpins the so-called justification for having the compulsory census.

The image above is the Cover picture from the Government Facebook page, Census NZ.

This image is case in point as to why the enlightened Kiwi is outraged by the underpinning arguments which Census NZ and the New Zealand government use to vindicate this compulsory violation of our privacy; i.e., that the information gathered will be used to for their «social planning.»

Bread and circuses, anyone?

Notice how this picture appeals to the unthinking: the «Government as the font of all culture; get someone else to pay for it» mentality.  «More drag strips, more skate parks, more gigs and festivals, more sports,» etc., ad nauseum.  Notice that it completely forgets to add: “More taxes, more rates, more debt, more compulsions and property violations, more government poking its nose into things which are not its business to be involved in!»

Now I like drag strips and concerts as much as anyone, yet I am not so stupid as to believe that these things are only possible via political interventions.  I also know that every time the government or city council builds a stadium or sports facility and events that they always run massively over budget and put us into massive debts, and, ultimately, end up costing rate payers and tax slaves tens of millions of dollars…every…time.

Three examples from my home town of Hamilton will suffice as examples:

The rugby stadium.
The V8 supercars.
The Claudlands event center.

Each of these cost Hamilton ratepayers many tens of millions of dollars over the price the Hamilton city council told ratepayers they would cost!

Via consecutive socialist meddling, the HCC has racked up $500 million in debts!

And what needs to be appreciated is that this bankrupt situation is the norm across the globe in Western socialist democracies; i.e., socialist politicians are systematically bankrupting their captive populations.  Debts are skyrocketing and rates are going through the roof, yet nobody seems to be waking up to the fact that city councils ought not to be involved in such ventures at all — they are best left to free enterprise and voluntary associations, which are much more realistic about how such things get built and on what scale.  Most importantly, they don’t demand money via compulsory taxations upon the community; i.e., little old ladies living on pensions don’t face rent increases or rates hikes to pay for the white elephants and delusions of grandeur which big mouth, big promising politicians spout at election time to get elected.

If the figures don’t add up, they don’t get built — its as simple as that.  I.e., economic reality prevails; not ridiculous socialist whim.

The sort of people whom support any sort of government involvement in such things are either ignorant, evil, or both.

The ignorant have not figured out that such things will return to haunt them via higher rates, rents, and costs for necessities in goods and services, and the evil don’t give a d@mn [expletive redacted] if people who don’t like rugby, etc., are forced to pay for new stadiums etc.; all they care about is having a flash new place to worship their sporting Gods.  They are too stupid to realize that better stadiums and facilities could be established via legitimate means without the use of draconian powers of compulsion.

Hamilton News points out that the publicly funded Claudland’s Event Center operates under a $1.42 million annual deficit; even as tax payers continue to express outrage of the V8 debacle.

The New Zealand Herald quotes City of Hamilton debt estimates as a result of the V8 debacle as being around $37.4 million, with a total municipal annual debt of around $100 million.

FAIR TAXATION

Editorial by Barbara Cornell.

Syndicated from Barbara Cornell’s personal blog.

Flat tax
Consumption tax
Corporate tax
Tax breaks for the rich

If you find yourself spending your time arguing about or concerning yourself with these topics, then you’ve allowed yourself to be duped.

The economy is a giant, circular river, and tax is a huge dipper that the government uses to remove water from the flow. It doesn’t matter where in the flow of the river you put your dipper, the effects are the same.

Pick a spot in the river and reason it through:

Taxes are increased to material suppliers. What now? They increase their prices to the manufacturers who buy their materials, who respond by increasing their prices to the retailers, who respond by increasing their prices to the consumer.

All taxes are eventually paid by the consumer. It doesn’t matter who «pays» the taxes directly to the government, eventually it is the consumer who absorbs the cost of all tax.

Arguing about whether it’s fair to tax or not tax based on purchases or gross income, or whether we should tax or not tax corporations before or after distributions, is missing the point.

The only way to reduce the actual burden of tax to anyone is to reduce the size and scope of government.

Arguing otherwise is allowing politicians to distract you from the truth.

THE BROAD WAY: MORALITY BY VOTE; ARBITRARY SOCIAL LAW

Editorial by Tim Wikiriwhi.

“Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be thereon.  Narrow is the way that leadeth to life and few there be that find it.»
—Jesus Christ.

The idea of the «mandate of the majority» in determining what ought to be Law, or how a country ought to be governed is a Pagan/Greek idea.  It is a pseudo-morality which opposes itself to Christian Ideals of Justice.  Why then do so many Christians clamor for more democracy, and less principle and rule of Law?  Why is it that the socialists have been able to substitute the Idea of Majority Rule as being «the rule of law,» when it is no such thing?

Democratic whim is no more a protection of the rights of individuals than the whim of a dictator; the laws generated thereby are absolutely arbitrary!  Why is this truth not taught in ours schools? They don’t teach this because the state does not want the people to slap Constitutional restraints on their power or limit their spheres of operation and intervention.

Labour party Hench woman and Waikato University Propaganda Chief, Margaret Wilson opposed the institution of a Constitution which restrained the powers of parliament. I.e., she opposed the rule of Law, and desired the continuation of Totalitarian socialism. She praised social arbitrary law and mob rule, calling the status quo: “Our wonderfully fluid system!” Remember that she was part of the Labour government who abolished Kiwi’s rights to appeal to Privy Council in England, and established the New Zealand Supreme Court.  This was a socialist coup!

As one of New Zealand’s highest lawyers and legislators (Attorney General), it was in her party’s vested interest to Bamboozle the people of New Zealand to keep her party free to implement their nanny state agenda upon us. These were dark days for unpopular minorities: party pill/NOS bans, Anti-smoking legislations, etc.  Massive handouts to racist radicals, anti-smack legislation, etc. By comparison, John Key’s inept governance looks enlightened!  We don’t see anywhere near as much nanny state legislation being generated.

That many people will look at the list of oppressive socialist laws and think they were all good ideas; that the Nanny State is great, just goes to show that had they lived in Germany in the 1930’s, they would have been raising the one armed salute to the democratically elected socialist tyrant Adolf Hitler.  He was all about «State Health,» «State Education,» «Nationalism,» etc. This is why is is all too common to hear sheeple exclaim… (wait for it…) “Hitler was a genius and had a lot of great Ideas (!).»

That unchecked Social Democracy is in the process of bankrupting every nation in Western Civilization makes little difference to the vested interests, dependent state-sponsored blood-suckers who now realize they have sucked the life blood out of their neighbors! They clamor against state cost cutting — as if you can get more labor out of dead slaves! The socialist politicians themselves refuse to admit they have ruined their nations. They make ridiculous statements, such as, “austerity will cause a depression,” when the truth is that their largess has already bankrupted us, and that every year that they continued their charade, they simply made things much worse! We stagger beneath massive debts and taxes! Look at Cyprus today! Frozen banks, and the prospect of looting the peoples’ savings! It is difficult for me to feel sorry for them, as the one thing that may be said about democracy is that the majority of people get the government they deserve; i.e., In every Western nation, the resident sheeple have ignored the «doom saying libertarians preaching ‘The End is nigh!’ from their soapboxes.» The greedy sheeple have allowed their governments to lead them to destruction.

WICKED WISDOM

Article by Barbara Cornell.

Syndicated from Barbara Cornell’s personal blog.

Just checked out Jada Pinkette Smith’s death metal band, Wicked Wisdom. They ain’t fixing to take over Metallica’s market share anytime soon (too bad, really), but they’re not half bad. Even though metal is viewed as an angry, young, white man’s genre, it really is an equal opportunity crowd.

That’s not as true with other genres, which seem to be more comfortable in their own demographic. Yes, there are a few white rappers (Eminem, Vanilla Ice — if he even still counts; his most repeated lyric these days is likely, «Would you like fries with that?» and that’s really it), but mostly they’re black. Yes, there are a few old fart pop singers (Paul McCartney…um…), but mostly they’re barely post pubescent, pimplies. Try being a white blues singer or guitar player, and you’ll find yourself faced with «Who does he think he is? White man trying to be John Lee Hooker. Psht.» And try to sell pop music to the teeny-boppers, the Beliebers, if you’re old and wrinkled…good luck with that.

The metal crowd is as likely to embrace the Killswitch Engages, the Sevendusts, the Within Temptations, the AC/DC’s (I heard Angus and his school boy uniform recently celebrated their Golden Anniversary) among us, as they are the Avenged Sevenfolds, and the Five Finger Death Punches. Black, white, latino, asian, male, female, young, old, gay, straight, christian, satanist, atheist, liberal or conservative, the metal crowd just does not care. Just bring it hard, fast and intense.
