(from Counter Punch) A Hypocritical War Monger by ROBERT FANTINA One longs for a candidate for president of the United States possessing those rare traits of statesmanship, honesty and integrity. One looks back in vain to see such an example, and the near and far horizons offer no such hope, either. We will take no time looking at the GOP (Generally Opposed to Progress) candidates, either announced or still keeping everyone on the edge of their seats as they ‘decide’ whether or not to toss their hat into the soon-to-be-crowded ring. Most, including Florida Governor and brother of one of the nation’s worst presidents ever, Jeb Bush, and New Jersey Governor, the obnoxious blowhard Chris Christie, have already decided, but enjoy the spectacle of endless conjecture. So they wait. But on the Democratic side, no less a worthy than Hillary Rodham Clinton, lawyer, former First Lady, former senator, former Secretary of State, has slow-balled her tattered hat into an otherwise empty r...

While our fucking retard of a prime minister and the "Illuminated one" Dopey Joe fuck around with all their greasy palmed bullshit - the rest of the world moves on.. Entire countries are working towards 100% renewable energy for EVERYTHING - homes, industry, transport... the lot. And our fucking retards in parliament - and voting to cut the renewable energy target (RET) back to 5% or less - from 20%.... by 2020... I mean 20% renewable by 2020 - aside from the idea that it was a step in the right direction, the amount was a fucking joke in the first place..... And now "Dr. my brain hurts" - the PM and his team, are shredding that because they ARE fuckwits - pure and simple. While the power companies are ramping electricity up to 45c a KWH - we could have been rolling in renewable energy at like 5c a KWH.... Well we are going to go that way - anyway - so fuck you Abbott. http://www.theguardian.com/vital-signs/2015/apr/20/renewable-energy-global-trends-solar-power   ...

But fucking Dimwit Abbott, decided that it's what he and his palm greasing coal shovelling buddies wanted, so he says, lying every step of the way, "We think the renewable energy target is bullshit - so we are going to slash it to a 5% reduction instead of 20%, and global warming is bullshit, so we are going to kill off the RET, and ignore the global warming..." He said it, I didn't. I wasn't even ever asked, much less got to vote on it. Nor did anyone else - when all of us said we want it. But Dopey Joe spat out some retarded crap about wind turbines being as blasphemous as anal sex - with your self.   And the Abbott Government's Advisory Committee spake thus.  However the rest of the world, which was not filled with dick brain delights said otherwise. And instead of investing heavily in turning Australia into a HUGE power generating and exporting country - freckle face adopts the "We will cut our pollution - only if you cut yours" brinkmanship bul...

The one issue I like to push is that it's better to deal with the issue before it gets out of control, than it is to deal with it, after it is out of control. And the other thing, is to not buy into other peoples shit - who are unmanageable in dealing with their own issues and responsibilities. To take a step back and check out the issues, and say, "How they have organised this, what they did or not in advance, currently and in the future, and who they have engaged with, why, what resulted etc., and what they are complaining about - well they are totally responsible for the lot - really, and I am not buying into any of it." Layers upon layers of chaos and bullshit... I'd like to reiterate the whole story - as a theraputic tool..... But I guess it's a case of "Get the fuck out of my life - with your bullshit. Go into a self help / theraputic group and deal with your issues. etc., etc., etc.." The cancers of the mind. The emotional vampires - of ones energ...

An extract.... http://www.greentechlead.com/news/agl-to-stop-expansion-close-coal-fired-power-stations-by-2050-23156 Wank Speak 1. Australian power retailer AGL Energy has stated it is stopping expansion of its coal-fired assets. 2. Also, the company has proposed to close all its existing coal-power stations by 2050. 3. Andy Vesey, the CEO of AGL, has stated that the company’s move out of coal-fired power would be “an ongoing, progressive process managing the efficient operations of assets, and the transition of people into new generation technologies and careers”. 4. “It is important that government policy incentivises investment in lower-emitting technology while at the same time ensuring that older, less efficient and reliable power stations are removed from Australia’s energy mix,” Vesey has stated. 5. AGL owns the biggest share of coal-fired power stations in Australia. It attained the top slot last year after acquiring two plants from the state of New South Wales for ...

Standing in the dark, in the park, at 11.30pm, doing my stretching exercises... And a car comes down the highway, around the corner near me and then travels into town - and pulls into the fuel depot.... I predicted that it would pull into the fuel depot, as it was making the "Brrrrrrrrrrpfftt - Brrrrrrrrrrpfftt - Brrrrrrrrrrpfftt" - running out of fuel noises... So anyway I did my stretching and headed off that way - and when I got there, OF course the fuel depot was closed, it was dark, no one was around - because this is Bum Fuck Nowhere, and she was sitting in the car - with the ENGINE and lights on, idling for the last 5 minutes - just slurping the absolute dregs out of the fuel system.... (I refuse to work on fuel injection systems, but running them dry and being a clueless bitch - and CONTINUING to run an engine feeding from an almost dry fuel system...  are two of my less favourite topics...) So there she is, fingering her Ipood, like she is desperately trying to push ...
