Blog description.

Accentuating the Liberal in Classical Liberal: Advocating Ascendency of the Individual & a Politick & Literature to Fight the Rise & Rise of the Tax Surveillance State. 'Illigitum non carborundum'.

Liberty and freedom are two proud words that have been executed from the political lexicon: they were frog marched and stood before a wall of blank minds, then forcibly blindfolded, and shot, with the whimpering staccato of ‘equality’ and ‘fairness’ resounding over and over. And not only did this atrocity go unreported by journalists in the mainstream media, they were in the firing squad.

The premise of this blog is simple: the Soviets thought they had equality, and welfare from cradle to grave, until the illusory free lunch of redistribution took its inevitable course, and cost them everything they had. First to go was their privacy, after that their freedom, then on being ground down to an equality of poverty only, for many of them their lives as they tried to escape a life behind the Iron Curtain. In the state-enforced common good, was found only slavery to the prison of each other's mind; instead of the caring state, they had imposed the surveillance state to keep them in line. So why are we accumulating a national debt to build the slave state again in the West? Where is the contrarian, uncomfortable literature to put the state experiment finally to rest?

National’s Anti-Money Laundering & Countering Financing of Terrorism Monster - iPredict the State Gulag


This piece of Soviet legislation took down the brilliant iPredict today:


Prediction website iPredict is to be closed down, with the Government deciding it represents a money laundering risk.

The site, run by Victoria University of Wellington's commercialisation arm, VicLink, issued a statement to its website and on Twitter on Thursday.

According to the iPredict statement, Associate Justice Minister Simon Bridges refused to grant it an exemption from the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act, declaring that it was a "legitimate money laundering risk" because of the lack of customer due diligence.


The raison d’etat of the Act revolves around identifying all individuals to a financial or property transaction. The cost of that on the economy, however, is huge. I have a small client base, but the reach of the Act’s bureaucracy is too much for me:









Although, of course, my problem is chiefly philosophical. It’s always about philosophy. Put this Act together with the tax surveillance state, and the Soviet reference in my first sentence is no hyperbole (remember Twitter – don’t mind the typo):






Yes, the Left getting in will finish off the economy and take us all to the Big State Gulag (also), but these National autocrats are way past their use-by date. If I could stand people in numbers – I can’t – I'd say go get your pitchforks and meet me in the foyer.

PS: hope everyone got their flag voting slips in (FFS). National, the party which put back the ‘us’ at the front of useful idiots.

West’s Tipping Point: Feminist Theocracy Institutes Feminist Sharia - #ProteinWorld #PEN



It doesn't matter what excuse you use to destroy freedom of expression; Allah, Jesus, body shaming, body confidence, et al - the only point of importance is the consequence: freedom of expression is destroyed.




I am sitting behind my keyboard this morning, mouth open, stunned. And, fair to say, distraught – I don’t write that last lightly. My plight started with reading of further authors protesting PEN’s intention to give French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo an American freedom of expression award; that number now reaching two dozen – confirming everything I have written in this piece on how a Progressive literature is the death of a literature that can resist tyranny anymore, and so part only of the western capitulation into another iteration of statist tyrannies.

Then the truly unbelievable: this advertisement is today banned in England by their Advertising Standards Authority (ASA):




Worse is the ASA’s reasoning:


"Although the ad won't appear in the meantime, [banned], we've launched an investigation to establish if it breaks harm and offence rules or is socially irresponsible," the spokesperson added.

"We will now carefully and objectively – [objectively? What the fuck?] - explore the complaints that have prompted concerns around body confidence and promptly publish our findings."

The ad, which stars bikini-clad Australian model Renee Sommerfield, asks whether commuters are "beach body ready" in a promotion for weight loss aids.


It’s as simple as this: a private company has had an advert for their weight loss aids banned because it used the image of a bikini clad women. Restating the above:


“… we’ve launched an investigation to establish if [the picture of a bikini clad woman] breaks harm and offence rules or is socially irresponsible.’


No, this is not from some dreadful Middle Eastern theocracy, but add to this that the firm running the ad, Protein World, is now receiving death threats, and the comparison contained in my title to this piece becomes obvious. It doesn't matter what excuse you use to destroy freedom of expression; Allah, Jesus, body shaming, body confidence, et al - the only point of importance is the consequence: freedom of expression is destroyed. To every mindless moron of Generation Airhead Feminism who joined this campaign, are you even able to make the barest glimmering of how evil that sentence is? And how contradictory?’

Every gain made by older generation feminists, such as [the fuming] Mrs H, since Emily Davison threw herself under a horse, and the bras were burnt – especially this latter - is lost in that single sentence. Utterly lost. Renee Sommerfield, the model in this advert points to it: quite apart from the Sharia closing down of free expression, this is body shaming:


"I think nearly every ad campaign you have ever seen is open to interpretation. But saying the ad is body shaming by body shaming the image is very contradictory," she tells HuffPost UK Lifestyle exclusively. "Two wrongs don't make a right."


Just as Generation Airhead Feminism body shamed Rosetti Scientist Matt Taylor, and demonised his eccentric individualism.

But it’s the wilful destruction of free expression and free speech, born of wilful ignorance, that really hurts. And that it’s the prevailing ethic: I’ve already written last month on New Zealand Marxist Giovanni Tiso’s further campaign against free speech by trying to have TV host Mike Hosking fired for comments he made on #ponytailgate. All roads lead to the Sharia advertisement ban of this morning. If there’s something these draconian bastards don’t agree with, the first instinct of their umbrage taking is to shut it down. And use the fist of state to do so. We have feminist theocracy, and this morning they have instituted feminist sharia on us all. A free life cannot be had without a love for difference: but difference, and individualism, is to be shut down in all its expressions of life and living.

Where does it end? Because all bets are off.

Generation Airhead Marxist feminism has turned itself into the nightmare Orwell wrote of in his novel 1984, ‘the boot stamping on a human face, forever.’

It’s over – the free society: it’s over. Tyranny wins again, as we are herded into the prison of each other’s minds, freedom setting against a pale, grey Western sky, before the blood red sunrise of the new state gulags that are coming.

Honestly, I feel like crying. How the hell did this happen?

Misogyny Doublespeak and the Destruction of Language: #GenerationAirHead*



From the ludicrous thing today’s MSM has become:


The Bachelor's latest evictee says the show is "a little bit misogynistic" because of its old-fashioned style of courtship, but she doesn't regret her appearance.


Quite apart from ‘a little bit misogynistic’ is akin to ‘a little bit pregnant’, let me simply say this:








Look at what misogyny means please. From that great resource thefreedictionary.com:

misogyny
(mɪˈsɒdʒɪnɪ; maɪ-)
n
1. hatred of women


To turn the courtly love of (with) women into the hatred of women, is a direct Orwellian doublespeak: it is the destruction of language written in Orwell's nightmare world of 1984. To everyone aiding in the progressive agenda of destroying language, nothing personal, but I’m growing to hate you. (See what I did there?).
