Mulga Mumblebrain, that is quite a piece of writing there. I followed you all the way until the end. But you let show your own weakness for a saviour when you spring to deify China as anything but a cunning and diabolical monster itself. Look into organ harvesting or secret “black jails” in Beijing that are part of the effort to clean up before the Holy Olympics. Look into Taiwan, SARS and the WHO. China should be given no benefit of the doubt. Power to the downtrodden, not to the CCP.

Values are like guardian angels.

Once you get the right values, like the right guardian angel, you are on your way to the “right” leftist representation in Washington.

These reps with values will only take money from ethical lobbyists with values.

And true ethical democracy with values will be “on the table” for your political and sexual pleasure forever …

Solidarity with the people of Upper Volta, Bolivia, and Lapland, and all the poor and downtrodden everywhere in the name of Jesus-the-Christ and his Mum and Dad.

Lyndon Johnson pronounced it, “valyahs.”

Lyndon had his “valyahs.”

All the presidential candidates have “valyahs.”

Valyahs explain everything, although “finding” the valyahs are as difficult as “finding” the angels.” who eventually save you.

Lawyer/judges “find” the law, so maybe lawyer/judges should “find” the completely causal valyahs in the Sacred Law.

Where else?

Pilger is the sort of journalist that would make you proud to be Australian, if only mindless chauvinism were not such a negative phenomenon. The same situation as the one he outlines applies in Australia, where the two Rightwing ruling parties, the markedly illiberal, racist and chauvinistic ‘Liberals’, and the quaintly anachronistically labeled ‘Labor’ Party, both parties of market fundamentalist orthodoxy, one with a vestigial social and human conscience, vie for the title of most assiduous arse-licker of the Yankee Reich. Right behind, so to speak, comes grovelling adulation to the Holy Zionist State, not unlinked to Jewish money power, political generosity and ferocious lobbying on behalf of Israel. It makes for a straitened public discourse, from centre Right to lunatic Far Right. These new generations wish to see the Anglosphere and its Israeli best buddy, continue to dominate the world, destroying countries at will, to ‘encourage the others’, looting rich assets that by divine right belong to the higher races and ensuring that inequality throughout the world continues to grow. As Gore Vidal said, ‘It is not enough to succeed-others must fail’. How else to indulge the manic sense of racial supremacism these creatures wear as a mark of honour. Particularly vital to the mind-set of this type is that the suffering of the untermenschen must elicit no sympathy. Therefore the fifty thousand odd preventable deaths of children under five every day in the poor world, has been left unadressed for decades, while trillions are spent on armaments. But this disdain for the lives of the savages must be accompanied by endless paeans to the West’s unmatchable ‘ moral purity’. There is something frantically, floridly psychotic about these people, if you cannot stomach the possibility of diabolic forces at work. The great test of the eternal triumph of ‘Western Civilization’ is looming. China, which crucially is not controlled by Zionist money, and which does not share the delusions of Western and Judeo-Christian superiority, is rising. It must be derailed, at any cost. Already you see signs in the criticism of China’s engagement in Africa, where they have refused to follow the West’s habitual neo-colonial, racist condescension and hectoring of the Africans. I’m pretty sure the Right will not be able to help themselves, and some candidate for US President is bound to shoot for the racist, anti-China, USA is No. 1 vote, and demand a boycott of the Beijing Olympics. Something must be done soon, or the long night of Western Imperial domination may finally draw to an end.

I wouldn’t worry over much about these people. They are all at least in their 40s and the young, the truly young, on both sides of the Atlantic, (and an incredibly impressive bunch they are too!) are every bit as far from these ideas of the “old fogey” Right as they are from the marxism of the “old fogey” Left!

Values, values, and more values.

“Shared values” are deeper values, and passed over the backyard fence like a cup of sugar.

Values originate in the “zeitgeist.”

What is the zeitgeist?

Where you look for and “then find” the “completely explanatory values.”

If you enjoy deep political discourse, keep focusing on the powerful values that are very valuable in “management.”

You might even claim that political management is a value.

Dana Perino, Pope Ratso Rizzo, and Joe Lieberman have values.

“I like your values, baby!”
