We are not at war still we stop talking

 In the week before the USA elections  ( November 1 2024 ) that place and ours has never seemed more divided 
Maybe nothings changed? 
Maybe we are a bit lost for options?
A great observer of previous wars said this 

"Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love.

No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint.
Therefore we must be saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.  
—Reinhold Niebuhr, The Irony of American History  

The wrong people are making all the noise

Stamping your foot, making a lot of noise and self righteous anger are not going to cut it -- especially with thinking experienced people 

Will just one adult stand up and be counted?

The mad collection of immature noise makers all around us at the moment , should, I suggest, remind us that all candidates standing for election need to be more rigorously tested for their commitment to really listen to  local and experienced people.  

There have never been so many starry eyed meeting members who just want the glory of office, and who by quitting once they become Mayor, or whatever , show they lack eldership, and  responsibility, let alone any real willingness to face their own inability to make tough real world decisions and not get distracted in huge reams of consultant reports. 

A term of office on our Council ( or Parliament ) is not going to change the atmosphere of the earth, and by trying to do that by long loud appeals and pushing, you will only  annoy those of us who know much better ways of getting things done  than just following the paper and popular political noisemakers trail.

Humility and application to common household tasks ( see JB Peterson)  goes a long way to develop the sort of competence we all want to see in candidates. .

Perhaps you, the reader, if you have time to really listen and have business experience, should stand?

After all, if you already listen and want to change your district for the better, there are plenty of people not only willing, but very  able to help you.

They are the sort of wonderful people all around  you who not only have successfully contributed their own resources in a patch, but know how to make those things work well. 

Chasing big bad bogeymen

 One day not far away the current Victorian governments sending us broke will be seen for what it is. 
The list of big bad bogeymen including ( just one for today ) 

1. The evil agent invented by Andrews ie COVID

 One day not far away the current Australian governments sending us broke will be seen for what it is. 
The list of big bad bogeymen including ( just one for today ) 

•        1.The evil agent of CO2 
  
•            The evil children of the former  GAS  

Scoop -- The Gas Bubble will burst, sooner rather than later.

 You heard it first here on Blogger , 
Albo and co feel comfortable talking renewables...... but then we all want some of them.. Simples who
Albo ,Shorten and Bowen are the three stooges who think that we are all going to be wired up and that the battery that is missing will arrive miraculously sometime before the next election.
Such faith,  and in themselves  cause scientists  with a complete working brain would not let their wild speculation instruct their reason let alone their nightmare dreaming like these smiling religious and guilt assuaging types do. 


Noone is allowed to say we need gas cause nothing else is working overnight. 
None of them will be taking their electric cars to the snow to join the other progressives who will freeze rather than suffer more travel anxiety.  Avoid the rush/push  with electric to buy one  ..... just  don't buy one  resale will not please you !


What they and the slovenly fanatical old media agenda agents can't do is see beyond the invisible . 
They have held up ALL to ransom because fluid dynamics is beyond most of us 

CONCLUSION  Do not fear - get understanding 

Let's watch the missing scientific basis ( see Plimer) for the simple idea that CO2 is the cause of all our problems AS IT is going to more and more newsworthy as their visible balloon game with the invisible gas and radiation equations bursts .

Lets not waste fuel,  but lets not be stupid and sacrifice our souls ( and the lot of our children !!!) to the false guilt and unsubstance of the worry warriors and the now frantic to be remembered fanatics in the media hype industries . http://fearmongers.blogspot.com

The Progressives are in trouble

 How we see the world as a whole is far more important than most mere facts we are ever faced with about its details. Our worldview constrains our attitude to almost everything ,which means we protect it with our lives and minds.

Progressives when they have a problem when things don't work , can be boyed up to the top of the froth and bubble by a mere something that looks positive----It doesn't matter that its only part of the light - its good enough for today.   Looking for something positive and ignoring the negatives highlights their fast moving with the froth nature and the frustration you would have trying to live with one.
.
We mostly interpret facts in the " light " of our world view . Our Faith therefore trumps reason .  
The problem with progressives ( as Chesterton so well pointed out ) is at least two fold 

1. It's based on reaction and therefore has no substance. 
2. It doesn't work and it won't work when the source of optimism in progress ( eg technology ) goes .eg when we have no technology to fix a perceived problem 

Conservatives (Established ) do not need to worry as Progressives ( Reactionaries ) do because 

1. Established values have resilience history  ; more reasoned tested and manageable worries  
2. Reactionary  worries may have no history in reason or practice 
3. Reactionary worries may just reflect the above confusion  eg letting illogical worries about  [CO2] when the cost of liquid fuels will have profound impact on the economy if greed in there use continues. A worry , but a more reasoned and manageable worry  
4. A false fear is a very scary thing . esp if practical scientists and ecologists see the problems and solutions in a more concrete and manageable form 
5. A false fear combined with a extra terrestrial solution ( changing the atmosphere) is something noone can face for too long. 
6. Denial is the progressives end game . not the resilience and realist experts game .  The established have a base and they know where to keep building when bits of it are eroded .

What I hope our children will reject from our past

 Just to remind all you good searchers ( cf the 'found ", foundered and the confounded at the ABC ) that our hope should never be in the press and those who wannabe famous for telling us things ,( especially when they are so complex and we might deny some facts because we are only human ) ...but on those who study things to show themselves fully able to weigh up real life tensions and be truly honest with us . Jung said the only problem still is man himself and someone whose name starts with the same letter said the same , but added grace to his claim

Its now nearly 15 years since our very own professor Ian Plimer told us why we should not worry about C02 . Time , since many are still chained up to this myth , to listen to him again Some of the key reasons for not worrying are the known determinism between C02 and photosynthesis, demonstrated in the curves of content in geological history and the known quick freeze scenario if incoming radiation didn't hit the earth daily .Explore more with Ian in his 500 page outline, full of citations and relevant and accepted science on these complex businesses. Why educated people respect the press more than those whose on ground study has shown them " approved " beats me , When you come from the bush ( et al Nazareth ) , it seems, the system thinks you know nothing. This blog , exists to show otherwise. There are a lot of challenges our children will face ( eg Higher costs of energy ,debt from diversion by my generation into old and ineffective technologies , very few fossil fuels, dumb debt to allay false fear ) but my generations unwise worrying about what damage our CO2 production will do is not one of them . Our children will at least have enough sense to burn alkanes made from algae and keep growing things on this parched Savannah for the rest of the world to eat . Let's hope they do it with some sense of justice for all in their use of the commonwealth of earth's resources. Most serious of all for our children , is that , unless my or their generation insist on properly training the young to do the integration of the physics , chemistry , physiology ,engineering, geology, fluid and radiation science on the ground , our children won't realize for some time yet that MY generation have been misled into the wasted space of fear guilt and misanthropy by those who virtually know nothing. ( but the power of the media ) Our dear children, friends and ground truthers here on the land could be doing much more rewarding and interesting stuff right now , by working more closely with the resilient earth than they are now. Be very careful how you vote young people and once you have studied the risks, take them, wisely, as nature does . http://designwithnature.blogspot.com

Behind my generations overreactions are feelings of guilt and impotence

And its legacy. A host of incompetent authorities . Young journos do a study!!!!!

Please help our children have the future they deserve and stop trying to change the world in the instant before we die . Lets go instead to confession. 

This depressing state of affairs with the elderly is probably not new, but like most blinkeredness ,the blinkers are self imposed  and any insight and the needed hope requires honoring and honesty to stop it festering.
 We have failed and need to go to confession, not  more debt in the name of old technology ( like windmills and batteries) and faith in things that don't work ( like Hydrogen) 
 For God's sake give our children freedom from our guilt both imagined , feared and real .

Let our children discover ways to overcome our depletion of fossil fuels ; mainly because we are just wasting money now in desperate and foolish dreaming attempts trying: and because there are ways to regenerate alkanes and not demonize them as agents of evil only. ( but you don't know that yet  because the last practical environmental chemist has left the building  ) 

 Take the very desperate attempt of the Andrew government THIS WEEK  to shore up its confidence over its complete incompetence by targeting the timber industry. 
The  best sequestration method IS yet to be discovered by the ever worrying, slow learning newbies

Andrews worry brigade have
Let the most ignorant arrogant and incompetent  run with the only sacred object they have left'. the preservation of the earth. They have their own map and honor board showing how they made it work ) 
But even that is false , and not only that completely false, its bred it's own half truths , hypocrisy and lies 
The sacred treasure and unmolested object of worship opposite Burnley station is wrong. It is wise to wisely log water catchments because otherwise the soil and water go acid. The greens and greenlabor are lost in one hit wonder attacks that generate ignorance , perpetuate fear and more lies. 

1. There is no plantation hardwood available and there will be none until 2 generation s of our children have matured .HYPOCRISY and LIES 
2. Most of the tall and straight trees in early Parks and mentioned this week were from hardwood forest  regeneration efforts . ( The Black Spur ,The original Otways National Park)  
3. 
   The hardwood in planation's would still take another 80 yrs from now to produce cause there is little now outside public native forests.
   
4. Labor have allowed taxpayer funded hardwood tree plantations to be cut down for pulp for decades . The trucks go through Colac every day HYPOCRISY 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. It is unnatural to not think of harvesting mature things before they die. The soil and water from sound timber growing sites are better off long term when this is done . Any short term risks to water and soil quality can be managed in relation to the long term by proper planning and regulation of the industry. Ask me for more info . 
   
   
6. The only voice who has got a voice here in Victoria for decades is a Mr Lindemeyer and he only represents his own interests. WRONG  BLINKERED 
   
   
7. Run up nearly $200 billion in unnecessary debt because they are more about worry than real wisdom competence and really asking questions about complex matters ( but that's another story) 
   
   
   Do not dare to talk to me just about one scientist and his focus  . Good sustainable decisions require scientists to be so practical that just ONE representative of them can get consensus with TWO reps from industry .
   Most Authorities set up in the last 40 years are like our government's -
   
   Authorities in their own name only and not worth the huge burden they are now to our children .
