Nothing Liberals Do Ever Works - Johannesburg Chapter


There will be a world conference on global warming in Johannesburg, South Africa. It will represent that same brilliant thinking that made southern Africa what it is today. South Africa has gotten rid of white rule and now has the world's highest crime rate and a near majority of its black population has AIDS and is dying. In the rest of Africa, where this anti-white "wisdom" rules, there is starvation. Few if any African blacks today have the rights in their black-ruled lands that South African blacks had under the apartheid regime.

But worst of all, there is no prospect for improvement. In black-ruled Africa, there is less for everybody every day. Countries that exported food under white regimes are starving now. That was never true in white-ruled Africa.

Every day, more of Africa enters the starvation phase of progressive economic policy.

So what are these geniuses meeting to lecture the world on this time?

 

The Yellow Cloud


This particular leftist conference of European and Third World Wisdom is going to tell America how to handle the environment. A large part of the delegations are coming to South Africa from under the "yellow cloud" that is forming over India and southeast Asia.

This yellow cloud is something unprecedented, but it is perfectly predictable by anybody who does not represent World Environmental Wisdom.

As any reasonably intelligent person knows, a primitive industrial economy produces far, far, far more pollution than a more advanced one. If America had produced a tenth of this Asian "yellow cloud" of pure choking pollution, it would have made world headlines.

Long before Chernobyl, Communist countries always produced a lot more pollution and environmental destruction than the more advanced and productive western economies, but World Opinion never breathed a word about it.

But this particular yellow cloud is not coming from Red China. This one is coming from the leftists' pet, that Wise and Wonderful Third World in lower Asia.

Those Third World Idealist geniuses who are going to tell us how to run America's environmental policy are leaving their own lands at a good time. For a while they won't choke on the results of their own environmental policy.

This yellow cloud has already spread around Asia, and we are going to probably see signs of it over here before long.

 

 

No European Bill of Rights

Recently there was another scene straight out of the Inquisition in Europe. A European graduate student was trying to stay out of prison for research he had been doing. In France and Germany you get an automatic one-year prison sentence if you question any aspect of the Holocaust.

As in the United Kingdom, when it comes to Hate Law, "the truth is no excuse" (The Crown Versus Joseph Pierce,1986). So a French grad student had found some information that questioned the holocaust and he was trying to stay out of prison. He sat there at his university, that Citadel of Free Inquiry, and insisted that he hadn't spoken Heresy. His professors were mostly Inquisitors.

In Germany, a person was accused under the Holocaust law and he could not have witnesses, because the witnesses would have gone to prison for testifying on his side.

Can you imagine the shriek that would go up around the world if an American witness for a terrorist were threatened with prison for testifying in the terrorists' favor?

But, of course, when it comes to violating Political Correctness, one has no rights.

Listening to Europeans, you get the impression that their court system must be perfect. They have none of our exposures of police misconduct or convicting of the innocent.

In Europe, they have these little guys in round hats or wigs or some other uniform who pronounce what, if you listen to the silence, must be perfect justice. Our system is messy.

Anything human is messy. So why is European justice, like so much else in Europe, so perfect?

Well, first of all, we all know that these countries are largely white. Nobody is allowed to say it, but that helps a LOT. But lately, even that hasn't overcome the sheer dumbness of leftist policy.

The European crime rate, under policies of the kind being developed in Johannesburg for the environment, has gone from astonishingly low to unbearably high.

But in Europe, the people are obedient. They apparently don't mind the crime rate. You don't have the kind of hell-raising you do here.

Europe is the leftists' dreamland. The people there obey and believe. The fashion right now is to take guns away every time a nut misuses one. Europeans rush to obey the fashion. Australians and Canadians, good little colonials, do the same thing. Since gun confiscation, crime has shot up in Australia, but once you get a leftist law in a European colony, it is forever.

The American east coast and the Ivy League LOVE Europe.


European Intellectuals Love the Third World


For American leftists, Europe is good but the Third World is GREAT. Communists counties were, of course, perfect, but sometimes leftism is too dumb to survive at all.

Leftists worship Karl Marx in their universities still, but they can't talk about that outside their captive classrooms without getting laughed at.

But our east coasters still have that Johannesburg meeting to salivate over.

There, the old condemnation of America for being rich is gravely accepted by everybody. We may not have that world-threatening yellow cloud spreading out from us, but we are guilty of using a quarter of the world's energy to produce a quarter of the world's goods.

And by the way, the people at the Johannesburg conference want us to give THEM more of those goods we produce.

But the crime is that we have a bunch of money that no Planners control. Professors and bureaucrats and planners should have control of that money. If they can't get it by a Marxist theory of Evil Exploitation, they can get it by Environmentalist Agenda.

And, as always, the little Europeans will join with the Third World and demand that all American accomplishments be turned over to the professors.

My reply is not very Intellectual. I say it's spinach and I say to hell with them.
