"SUCCESS has always been the greatest liar—and the 'work' itself, the deed, is a success too; the great statesman, the conqueror, the discoverer, are disguised in their creations until they can no longer be recognised. The 'work' of the artist, of the philosopher, only invents him who has created it, who is reputed to have created it, & the 'great men', as they are reverenced, are poor little fictions composed afterwards - in the world of historical values counterfeit coinage prevails." - Friedrich Nietzsche
DESPITE THE FACT that 'stunning' before execution (that lip service paid to humane treatment of livestock) is prerequisite of foreign abbattoirs wishing to slaughter Australian livestock, it is NOT YET mandatory here in Australia...
IT IS therefore somewhat HYPOCRITICAL of the Australian Federal Government to demand this practice in foreign abbattoirs!!
Independent MP Andrew Wilkie's Bill, to Stop Live Animal Export, placed before the Federal Parliament recently was not voted for by a single member of Govt OR Opposition!!! That's how much our politicians really care & also shows how completely the Australian political agenda is determined by LARGE SCALE FARMERS, Pitt St bloody Agri-Business Farmers.... who act as if they own this continent.
(This colossal monument to one's ego is dedicated exclusively to one by one, with deep & sincere affection)
ONE'S DISCLAIMER - Certainly, one might sound like an irritatingly ignorant, smugly self-righteous, pretentiously pedantic, pompous old poser spouting bitter, jaundiced, manipulative & often disingenuous knowall YouTube comments - (& please, DO excuse one for having any opinion at all) - BUT, (deep breath) - "The more one sees of men, the more one loves dogs" - Frederick the Great (King of Prussia) who had 33 greyhound 'housedogs'.
"We can judge the moral progress of a civilisation by the way it treats animals" - Mohandas K. Gandhi.
MAKE NO MISTAKE - expect the very worst of human nature & you won't be disappointed. Treat all creatures, no matter how seemingly insignificant, with respect, goodness & dignity. Ignore any catalogue of dogma which poses as 'reality'. Focus on the stars & deep 'geologic' time - the merely visible astronomic universe is 94 billion light years across!
EVEN THEN one may completely fail to comprehend one's truly impotent, fleeting, fragile & miniscule existence!! Be humbly aware of one's insignificance & the brief SPARK & short SPAN of a human life. Be compulsively kind to distressed, neglected or homeless animals. One's reward will be immediate & unqualified. The principle of PANSPERMIA assures us that life is richly spread & seeded already, for aeons before 'man' arose, through stars and galaxies which outnumber all the grains of sand on all the beaches of our Earth...

About Me:
One also owned two cats at different places as a child, one, a Persian named Slee, & the other, a Tabby named Fluff...they never met...
The 'Essene' Christians believed (so I'm told), amongst other peculiar things, that dogs too had a 'messiah' (Christ's Dog) who also died when Christ did. Their vision of heaven excluded dogs, but allowed that all the dogs a man had owned in his life would joyfully meet him in the afterlife, as a big happy pack, and escort him to the Gates of Paradise (where applicable - see local beliefs), but no further!
Without one's dogs one would not wish to go to 'paradise' at all, since one's definition of paradise fully includes one's dogs, One cannot see that delusion working out! As an atheist and stoic, one accepts that when man & dog die, they will cease to be forever, and that is a good and a happy thing. They will leave the beach as they found it, once more washed by the tide, without footprints, as it was before their kind came ashore.

Dr SAMUEL JOHNSON, a noted lexicographer, scholar and writer of his time (18th Century London) was asked, what was the best way to become educated? Dr Johnson said the longer one spent reading the better and that he owed his extraordinary vocabulary to comprehensive reading which enabled him to compile one of the first English dictionaries. I wd respectfully suggest to all spiritualists (as an open minded sceptic) that if they are honest they must admit that most of their mysterious phenomena are caused by auto-suggestion, infrasound and/or pareidolia. Parapsychology is a fascinating subject worthy of deep study, aside from whether these 'paranormal' phenomena represent life after life. Having a dream is an important part of being happy. Being happy and comfortable is the goal of every creature I would hazard to say. Fostering rescue dogs for Lismore's Animal Rights and Rescue Group (non-profit charity, website under 'dogadoptions' in Google) monopolised my time for 5 years, from Feb 2003 to Sept 2008, since when I have become increasingly 'lame', in a literal sense...I smashed my legs pretty badly in a m/cycle accident in 1972 & after 40 years, they aren't up to walking any distance so I now devote more time to my own Pack, however knowing I have been instrumental in rehoming over 500 dogs in that 5 years has been deeply rewarding. Large donations/bequests are what ARRG needs to continue to save dogs & cats from euthanase after 7 days in the pound. On a lighter note, must confess I thoroughly enjoy teasing flakey fundamentalists, bourgeois bigots, frustrated fascists, half-baked homophobes and reactionary rednecks wherever I stumble on them, especially those dumb enough to air their vicious views for all to see on the net. Since I'm an atheist & I have no axe to grind, I guess I just love pulling apart self-righteous fascists, anthropocentric racists and dogmatic theists. I'm keen to find God fingerprints or even a few angel turds - just some solid evidence of God or an 'afterlife'. I have on occasion been called a 'superficial snot', but I mustn't get big headed and start boasting. I live alone and don't have any immediate family, although I have some cousins in Sydney, on my mother's side, who are exemplary citizens. I, on the other hand, am reclusive, misanthropic, atheist, heterosexual & vote Green whenever I get the chance. I own my own home and have a Daewoo Nubira SUV or 'station wagon' as Aussies call them. I live abt 30km (18 miles) inland from Cape Byron & Byron Bay (Australia's most easterly point) in sub-tropical northern NSW. My 4 dog family pack keep me as busy as I like. Apart from that, I do exactly as I please each day. Ah me, life is good here in Australia.****THE LIVE COW & SHEEP business and the nightmare Australian livestock ships to the Muslim Middle East are an abomination and a deep disgrace to Australia. They make me ashamed to be Australian. The Australian livestock farmers who 'get rid' of their scrawny animals don't care (ever heard of 'MULESING' sheep to 'stop flystrike'? Google it and be disgusted.) The shippers, crew and transporters who maim and manhandle these wretched animals don't care. The devout Muslims who tie their legs and throw them in the boot of their limos, who cut the animal's throats at mealtime, don't care. 'Death to infidels' is generally the reply when anyone suggests blood sacrifice and hal'al butchery are both ANIMAL ABUSE, and ALL, (Muslim, Jew and Christian) agree blood sacrifice is unnecessary and AGAINST THEIR BELIEFS!! SO, the reason the whole filthy business continues, like a running sore on the blighted face of mankind, is 1. human GREED and 2. the deep DISTRUST Muslims have of each other. The Arab Muslims don't trust the Australian Muslims to correctly bleed the sheep to death in accordance with Halal requirements. In other words, they think other 'devout' Muslims are going to cheat them and spiritually pollute them with unclean meat. Pakistan's Apostasy Act (2006) makes changing from Islam to any other faith punishable by the death penalty!! As I have long feared Malaysia has now introduced the same outrageous law, setting an extremely bad example 4 other local Muslim countries, like Indonesia, to Australia's North, the largest Muslim population in the world, more than 20 times that of Australia!! How long until Singapore and Indonesia follow suit? This is a very ominous precedent for the world and worries me a lot. If you look at any videos on YouTube about the Apostasy Act in Pakistan or the live sheep ship subject you will see what I mean. I know Australian kangaroo shooters (sorry, 'expert vermin cull sub-contractors') have already given Australia a bad name worldwide for wildlife brutality, but the live sheep trade using ships gives new meaning to human greed, cruelty and evil. HOW can Australia dare to criticise Jap whaling when we allow this massive unnecessary cruelty!!
Movies:
MANIPULATIVE NWO ideas are constantly being tested on audiences by presenting 'half-truth' movies of possible alternate real world scenarios (like 'The Manchurian Candidate', 'Capricorn One' , 'Soylent Green', the 'V' mini-series et al) which make any similar real world 'disclosures' easy to contain and write off as mental cases who were 'disturbed' by a scary movie plot. The cinema has been the perfect test platform for all the newest persuasion and mind control ideas and techniques.
Music:
SPARKS (Ron and Russell Mael), 'THE THREEPENNY OPERA' by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Angus and Julia Stone, Not Drowning, Waving, Magazine, Tom Waits, Burning Spear, Massive Attack, the Rasmus, the Shins, Amadou et Mariam, Manu Chao, Brian Eno, David Bowie, Silversun Pickups, Zero 7, Jack's Mannequin,, David A. Stewart, the Bastard Fairies, XTC
Books:
'SELECTED POEMS' & 'COLLECTED POEMS' by Kenneth Slessor, published by Harper-Collins, 'The War Despatches of Kenneth Slessor' and 'The War Diaries of Kenneth Slessor" (UQP), also 'Darlinghurst Nights' and 'Backless Betty from Bondi' (both with priceless black and white illustrations by 'Virgil' Reilly). 'E.W.Coles Funny Picture Books 1 and 2' are rare but well worth tracking down, mad time capsules of Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian English middle class social and racist prejudice, burning with naive 'jingoism' which we wd now recognise as 'zealous patriotism' and mental illness.The 'Funny Picture Books' have a unique place in English history, fully illustrated, like a perverted Punch, or a Boy's Own Hogarth! Must be seen to be appreciated. 'Capricornia' by Xavier Herbert (most underestimated Aussie writer), Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, Norman Lindsay (warts and all), Arthur Waley, Arthur Machen, anything by Evelyn Waugh, Aldous Huxley esp. his 'Point Counterpoint', 'Crome Yellow', 'Antic Hay' series. I admire Herman Melville's 'Billy Budd' almost as much as the 3d Opera! BB, aside from being a gripping novel, is also a truly magnificent movie with Terence Stamp as Billy, Peter Ustinov as the Captain and Robert Ryan as the foulhearted Master At Arms, the dastardly Claggart. Inspired casting! Masterpiece book AND movie!! Melville, who created many successful books (other than 'Moby Dick') also wrote 'Omoo', 'Typee' and 'White Jacket' and some highly respected poetry. Like Conrad, HM was a sort of benevolent reformist Dickens or Pepys (Sam Pepys was also decidedly naval, holding top Admiralty jobs and making clever changes which wd benefit the RN for many years.) 'Diaries' by James Boswell, Samuel Pepys and William Hickey; all 'journalists' and 'whistleblowers' ahead of their time, David Icke 'The Biggest Secret', W.H.Davies 'Autobiography of a Supertramp'. 'The Road to Wigan Pier' by George Orwell (without doubt the most depressing book I've ever read), 'The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthasar B.' by J.P.Donleavy, 'Elmer Gantry' by Sinclair Lewis, 'Puckoon' by Spike Milligan, 'A Rebours' by J.K.Huysmans, Fowler's Modern English Usage, Brewer's Handbook of Phrase and Fable, Dictionary of Catch Phrases (from the C16 to the present day) [1985] by Eric Partridge, edited by Paul Beale published by Routledge most recently reprinted in 1993, says my 1993 edition. This book is SO popular I shdn't wonder it's gone to several more reprints and I hope, been added to and updated to include the fertile computer world and all its refreshing new expressions! 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck, the'Tao T'eh Ch'ing' by Lao Tzu, the 'I Ching', 'Tiger, Tiger' / 'The Stars My Destination' and 'The Demolished Man' by Alfred Bester, 'Report on Probability A' by Brian Aldiss,'Tono-Bungay' by H.G.Wells, 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' by Francois Rabelais, Foxes Book of Martyrs, James Boswell's 'Diaries' & 'London Journal' (1762 to 1763), and his excellent 'Life of Johnson', Aubreys 'Brief Lives', 'Journals of Captain James Cook' and associated diaries of crew members and early settlers available for viewing at the Mitchell (State) Library in Sydney, NSW, Hakluyt's Voyages of Discovery.

many greetings to you all
Btb we're abt to have a flood here in Lismore. The Wilson River & Leycester Creek are inches off overflowing & it's been raining hard all night. My house is in the 'Flood Zone' & if my house gets water on the ground, it means the centre of town has gone under, which hasn't happened since 1974. I was living here when that happened too. My son was 1 yr old & was stuck at the babysitter's house (cut off by flood) for 4 days.
Missing you folk but should be back online regularly soon.
