Those who do not learn from history

are doomed to repeat it.

Consequently you actually NEED to see this film.

Poland has always suffered from a serious case of geography. During WWII this resulted in being the meat in a Nazi/Communist power grab sandwich. Leading to Stalin ordering the murder of 25,000 Polish officers, chaplains, landowners, a prince, officials, soldiers, refugees, university professors, physicians, lawyers, engineers, teachers, writers, journalists and pilots.

What we now collectively refer to as the Katyn Massacre or Katyn Forrest Massacre was denied by the Soviet government untill 1990 and even then they declined to actually allow any prosecution of the perpetrators. This attitude as now changed slightly and the state media have elected to go with a denial again to celebrate the release of Katyn, Directed by 81 year old Andrzej Wajda father, Jakub, was murdered at Katyn, as were family members of many of the production team.

A 10 minute video shot by the Germans in 1943 with an English commentry is here.

Some times having a common enemy doesn’t mean you should be an ally.

Now thats poetry.

Morning Dino…

Hi everyone!

Winning the propaganda war

one indoctrinated leftie at time.

Currently where I live is frequenty by lefties who like to do things like wear Bush = Hitler T’s and tell me why its impossible for NASA to have reached the moon etc etc. In kind I invite them to learn about this exciting new concept called soap and perhaps they might like to fuck off and die because no I wont be taking off the NZ/US flag pin I wear.

But every now and then you get one who is like a demented Mormon trying to make quota who trys to save me by simply demonstrating the “facts” to me.

Unfortunately in the war of facts in the global warming climate change struggle these guys are as well equiped as the childrens crusade.

However every now and then you get one who is willing to have a rational scientific debate. It goes like this:

“Chemist” But co2 is a dangerous gas that drives global temperatures! We MUST reduce emmisions or DIE!

Right Wing Fascist Bastard: No it doesn’t.

“Chemist” Yes it IS!

RWFB: Mmmm no it isn’t and shouting doesn’t make you right, it just makes you loud and wrong.

“Chemist”: But the data PROVES IT!!!

RWFB: What data?

“Chemist”: … well… ALL the data.

RWFB: Specifically?

“Chemist”: Well its all well established! (Yes ever sentance IS finished with an exclaimation mark when you’re young and idealistic)

RWFB: Well then what say you scurry off to your computer and get some data from a source pre-1990 on CO2 levels in relation to global temperture for me and take a quick squiz at the iceage, the Medieval hot period and the mini-iceage.

“Chemist”: Fine I will!  (See theres that bloody ideological exclaimation mark again)

A period of time elapses.

“Chemist”: I’ve discovered something! (Yep still there)

RWFB: No you’ve learned something. It was already discovered.

“Chemist”: Its turns out that CO2 levels are actually following temperature change not driving it…

RWFB: Shit. Who’d a thunk it. (You see the conservative delivers a dead pan response because his prey is already the walking dead and the game is all but over)

“Chemist”: But this is the oposite of what was in Al Gores film…

RWFB: The politician?

“Chemist”:… er yeah…. He … … …lied to us?

RWFB: Quod erat demonstrandum. (Because we conservatives are classy at the kill)

And so I have now sewn the seeds of discontent amongst the great unwashed because “chemist” will now tell all his freinds and because hes not a right wing fascist bastard they’ll actually listen.

Which is important because we need to have a rational science, not hysteria, diven evaluation of what is going on. And as we discussed in many follw up conversations we are currently putting all climate eggs in one basket based of a false premise and the only answers we’ve come up with seem to invlove more taxes.

Rather than funding Genetix’s personal wealth for ugly fans that stop turning about the exact time that power usage goes through the roof and the coal fired plants go from idle (70%) to full (100%) I’d like to see some serous everts in the direction of:

A. Finding out what is happening.

B. What if anything can or should be done.

C. Some ideas for adapting to any change. Adapt or die would be what evolution has told us are the choices. We can learn from the dodo or be the dodo.

Feel free to try this yourselves.

One more us, one less of them.

Gerd Heidemann - paging Mr Heidemann…

you have a call from Norway.

Excuse me?

Deputy Prime Minister Michael Cullen has just told reporters that his understanding is Mr Williams did offer to resign.”Helen told him not to be silly,” Dr Cullen said.

Since when did the elected leader of the non-parliamentry wing of a party answer to the the leader of the parliamentry wing?

Is Helen clark now dismantling democracy WITHIN the labour party as well as without?

Dear dedicated labour party members. You need some time alone to sort your shit out. We’re giving you a three year time out in Novemeber. Then we’ll review. Don’t expect an all is forgiven outcome then either. 

Having said that hes a bloody lair in this quagmire of lies, deception, shaddy bagmen, foriegn rich pricks and purchased political position. He should resign.

He just shouldn’t be alone in the queue.

Jessica T Hill

23rd October 1990 - 19th Feburary 2008

Well this isn’t stressful at all.

Well having managed to scrape up the money to get Jess an operation I get to take her in tomorrow morning and then wait for a call to tell if to come and get her… or her body. As the doc is giving her a better than lotto shot of dying while shes out.

This was the deal I made with her 17 years ago and shes stuck by her end of it and I’ll be sticking by mine.

I’m told animals don’t have souls and consequently they don’t go to heaven, however according to my personal belief system if there exists a place without animals the word I’d use for it isn’t “heaven”. So if there are those of you out there like me who are godless heathens who are destined to “rot in hell” please spare a good wish for my small friend tomorrow.

Friday Night Free For All.

On tonight at NZ Conservative.

Be there or don’t.

We may have the FNFFA back here one day…. one day when I get an interwebby conection of my own.

Remember, DON’T VOTE LABOUR.

Update on stuff.

For those who have asked father is doing well in the not being dead stakes and was released from hospital today.

Jessica however isn’t doing so well but I can’t get her back to the doctor for at least a week since they have this give us money now policy. At 17 shes in bonus time though. 

In other news my study has been confirmed and I’ll be dusting off my short pants and heading back to school in two weeks.
