We are loaning 2 billion dollars to a Brazil oil company for offshore oil exploration, with promises of more later. There are no words to describe the lunacy here, and corruption is the only reasonable explanation. George Soros is invested heavily in this Brazilian oil company -- Petrobras. Now imagine if Bush had done this and we found out that, say, James Baker was heavily invested in Petrobras -- what would happen?
This is incredible -- I await an explanation, but until I get a better one, I will assume corruption.
2012 is too long to wait, but it looks like we're stuck for awhile -- at least in 2010, we can throw some of bums out.: What is Bonzai about Archives Search Bonzai A Libertarian Blog What is Bonzai about Archives Search Purpose What is Bonzai about Archives Search Navigation Bonzai : A Libertarian Blog Can I Speak With The Manager , Please Following the Stimulus Login Manager Login Archives Contact me This form does not yet contain any fields .

One of the most interesting developments in the last 20 years has been China's development in the global economy. One day the old guard will be the new...what? Will they be guards r proponents of a new style of capitalism which provides more freedom for the people of China?
China is already an economic powerhouse, and if they instituted more liberal policies internally, they could be a modern economic wonder which would transform global international relations. The clash between capitalism and communism within China s something many never expected, and the outcome might obliterate any lingering Marxist influence and strengthen apitalism's influence in third world countries.
At a time when the U.S. is doing everything possible to strangle capitalism, it would be wise to watch the developments in China and India.

Well, we've heard all the bad and crazy things said by the right against the left, but what is the left saying? Matt Welch at Reason has been keeping a log, and it's not pretty.
The left is coming unhinged. The funny thing is that most of them don't see the irony and hypocrisy -- they think their version of reality is the mainstream version, and that they are merely exposing crazy people.
A lot of people are havng a hard time accepting the public's disgust with government in general. I see this as a positive turn of events, if, that is, this movement is truly about the abuse of government power, and not just a collective cry for a ompetent government that knows how to control more efficiently.
The danger with this type of turmoil is that it's fertile ground for real tyrants -- if people are protesting because they want more control over their own lives, then -- bring it on!http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32470364/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/
I am for leaving, but if we're going to stay, the only way to make it work is to take the country over and make it a part of the U.S. These silly half-measures in this third way of war will only put our men and women at risk for no good purpose.
We have no idea how to identify, isolate and defeat the enemy, and the people are not ready for sovereignty. There's no national cohesion and no understanding of statehood. Since we are not going to take over the whole country and do what would be necessary to enforce stability -- mainly because it would be weak control based on coercion, and it would require actions the U.S. rightly will not take -- hen we need to patch what we can and get out -- it's a losing proposition for the U.S. and a perfect situation for those who hate the U.S.

Tuesday , 18 August 2009 The Wonders of Road De-regulation In response to the increasing number of traffic fatalities in this country during the year , the government has been considering the idea of raising the minimum driving age from 15 to 17, and putting in some other regulations concerning alcohol into . practice I have a better idea . How about stripping NZ roads of most street signs , getting drivers to focus on the movements of drivers around them , rather than focusing on those signs This idea is called Naked Streets and has been tried with success in many Western countries , including the US , UK , the Netherlands and Sweden . In removing traffic signs , it successfully gets drivers to voluntarily cooperate with one another to ensure smooth traffic . flow In those countries , the concept of shared space has been tried outHmm. Looks like the French are at it again.A shame really, that a nation with a culture like France should fall into relapses of this violence every few years. I suppose, that's the price you pay for the society of moochers which has always been the end product of socialism.Unfortunately, this has always gone hand-in-hand with the idea of "liberty".

It has taken the lives of many millions of people just over the last century , and left countless more in mourning . But what the leftists refuse to recognize is that the root of war lies in something worse than war : in statism and tyranny . When a government has declared war upon its own citizens , it is never long until the surrounding nations are next .

Thursday , 30 July 2009 The Rights of Beneficiaries Not surprisingly , the MSM has been all over the case recently of some not-so private information of some beneficiaries being released into the public sector by Paula Bennett . Although one lady has already realised that her little gesture actually did little to compromise her security at all , the other is still . unrepentant What she , the public and the MSM are forgetting is that the lady in question is a beneficiary she lives off public money that has been forcibly extracted from taxpayers . As thus , the taxpayer has the right to know about the people they're paying for I suggest something like this , to be available online free of charge , for every : beneficiary name sex age marital status no . children which benefit they're receiving benefit income per month other income per
