THE TEACHERS STRIKE.
The long running teachers strike in S.A.is a poor reflection on the type of people we expect to educate our children. It provides further evidence why parents are deserting the public education system in droves for private school education.
In past decades teachers have been key players in the social change agenda’s embarked upon by social engineers in government employ. Teacher union officials are keenly aware of this fact and feel that they can extort major concessions in pay and conditions from the various governments. (e.g. In SA teachers are demanding a 21% pay increase over three years).
A few years ago Dr G Partington, a senior lecturer in education at Flinders University in SA claimed that Public School education would not be improved even if the Government poured rivers of gold down the corridors of each school. What then is wrong with education in Australia?
For starters, most teachers are required to teach "lies" in the name of political correctness!
Senior journalist Greg Sheridan, published an article in The Australian newspaper in February 1985.which caused a furore in education circles " The lies they teach our children". It was a scathing attack on the biased material teachers in Australian schools were required to teach. Here is an opening paragraph.
" All around the country, teachers are giving our children a diet of intellectual poison. Syllabuses in social sciences and value related areas are being taught which are deeply hostile to Australia, to the US, to capitalism, to European civilization, to industry, to Christianity. They, in fact, embody a widespread hatred for our society."
He concluded with the view that "In general , Australian Education is a disaster ,it is as if the whole government school system has had a collective nervous breakdown, and no longer has any idea of its real identity".
At the time The Concerned Parents Association fully endorsed Mr Sheridan’s remarks in a statement which included the following remarks.
*While it may not be the deliberate conscious intention of every teacher to make children hostile to their own society, tradition and values, this is certainly the deliberate and planned purpose of the curriculum.
* As Mr Sheridan stated in a subsequent article in the Australian, the problems are not exclusive to State Schools, but are rife in independent schools of all kinds.
*One of the principal results of this form of education is to set children against their parents, with enormous and devastating consequences.

OBAMA : MESSIAH ?
Newly elected presidential candidate Barack Obama has sold himself as being the one who will "change" the country’s direction and improve our lives. But does the reality match the rhetoric.?
The Obama campaign for president deliberately positioned him as a messianic figure, transcending race, and above petty partisanship issues. This mass manipulation technique, with swooning crowds chanting " Yes we can" has worked well for him-so much so that TV personality Oprah Winfrey has called him "a politician who has an ear for eloquence and a tongue dipped in unvarnished truth".
Obama uses "change" and "Hope" liberally in all his speeches without any real specified detail about what he proposes to "change" or what we should all be "hoping" for. But his personal voting record makes it abundantly clear what we can expect.
The Washington based National Journal rates legislators on their voting records and their rating for the year 2007. It places Obama on record as the single most liberal (left wing) US Senator. His running mate Joe Biden is rated as the third most Liberal Senator for 2007. Obama is on record as supporting high progressive taxation and growth of government control in virtually every area of family and community life. His adherence to Constitutional principles is a dismal 13% (Biden 19%). He favors radical environmental policies that intrude on the property rights and enforcement of the radical "green" agenda on industries which is certain to drive many offshore.
Obama knows how he wants you to live your life- and he is going to make sure you listen. His wife, Michelle summed up his view of government with astonishing candor. "Barack Obama will require you to work, He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism, that you put down your division. That you come out of isolation. That you move out of your comfort zone. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual- uninvolved, uninformed".
Obama looks with disdain at anyone who disagrees with him. In a candid moment before a group of San Francisco partisans, he said "It’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations"
Despite his long political association with the extreme left in American politics and the likelihood that he will bring many of his associates into important positions in his administration, we expect that he will be surrounded by advisors from such Insider elite groups as "The Council on Foreign Relations"(CFR) It is these people who indirectly control foreign policy and the future direction of the USA. Obama will either toe the line or be quickly disposed of.
Americans like their heroes and messiah’s on pedestals, but they better be strong and true. When one is exposed as a phony, he falls hard and fast. As the truth emerges about Obama, he may be heading for such a fall.
As David Freddoso says in his book "The case against Barack Obama " "It’s not that Obama is a bad person. It’s just that he’s like the rest of them in Washington. And just like all the other liberals too."
AUSTRALIAN OF THE YEAR
Who should be chosen as Australian of the year? How do we assess the value of one’s achievements in bestowing this honor upon them.?
Any discussion on this subject will invite endless debate. Famous sportsmen & women, politicians, soldiers, well known community leaders & business people will attract their share of supporters .The final selection will be made by a panel of human judges looking at the respective nominees through human eyes. But have you considered how God might choose?
In the Gospel according to Mark Ch12 38-44. We get a clue on how God might choose. The temple in Jerusalem is busy and Jesus calls his disciples together in order to watch people giving their money to maintain the religious activities of the priests. They see many rich men giving large donations much to the admiration of their friends. Then they see a poor widow almost ashamed to be seen in such well healed company. She holds in her hand a small coin which she places in the collection box and then quietly retreats into the background.Jesus notes this incident and draws an interesting lesson from it saying " Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on"
How then might God choose an Australian of the year in this day?
Yes, there are many we know who have left well paid jobs to work amongst the poor in other lands. There are the silent battlers, widows single mothers and fathers who have struggled against the odds to raise successful families. There are brave souls living in dictatorial regimes who have refused to bend to the will of ruling tyrants. There are those who live in the so called "Free World" who have seen the dangers threatening their nation and have attempted to warn their fellow countrymen. They have been met with a wall of apathy and hostility, yet they battle on.
By this world’s standards, none of these people would rate a mention . But by God’s standards they are important. because He is interested in individuals.
When Jesus came into this world only a few were aware of his presence. When He commenced his earthly ministry he was hounded by the religious leaders of the day and branded a heretic. In finally offering himself on the cross as a living sacrifice so that sinful man could be reconciled to God the vast majority of His own people despised and rejected Him. Would it be any different today?
During His life on earth Jesus reached out to others. He reached out beyond His personal comfort zone in order to fulfill God’s will. If we are to win God’s approval on this earth we are challenged to do likewise.
KEYNESIAN ECONOMICS
For over 3 decades the economic ideas of one man ruled the western world, John Maynard Keynes. Even today his ageing disciples have recently began retiring from University teaching in sufficient numbers, so as to allow a serious debate in economics to reappear after almost half a century in the better Universities. In government, many of his ideas are still dominant.
Who was J.M. Keynes. He was the son of British economist John Nevile Keynes. He came to prominence with a book on the theory of probability, not economics. He was a man who never went through the discipline of a graduate program in economics. He earned a Batchelor’s degree and quit. He was hired to lecture at his alma mater a few years later. He wrote his way into prominence.
He was also a homosexual pervert who led a secret society heavily represented by other homosexuals. His ideas laid the foundation of the "mixed economy" part free market, part Government planning, and completely inflationary. Each of his books-though, increasingly incoherent, became popular for they all promoted national economic planning and the politicians loved him. He was giving them an academic reason for budget deficits, price controls, and monetary inflation. The younger economists loved him, for his ideas were creating lifetime opportunities in employment as government economic planners.
It was Keynes more than any other man in the 20th. Century, who is intellectually responsible for today's looming bank crisis, huge government deficits ,and the eventual default of governments & many financial institutions on their financial obligations. He gave the western economy a large dose of intellectual Aids.
Keynesian admirers admit that "The General Theory" is a confusing book. But that was precisely the intent- to confuse. As J.K. Galbraith the famous liberal economist said about academic economists and how they play the game. "Only someone who is decently confusing can be respected"
RUDD’S ECONOMICS
The current financial crisis, according to Kevin Rudd can be blamed on "Extreme Free – Market Ideologues" who have resisted the regulation of financial markets. He is trotting out the belief that the "Free Market" and extreme capitalism failed with the financial crisis in September. But is the financial crisis really a case of markets being too free?
The two Mortgage Lenders at the centre of the sub prime crisis – Fannie May and Freddie Mack, while nominally private businesses operated until September as gigantic and elaborate public – private partnerships. As Mr G. P. O’Driscoll, formerly of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas has pointed out. "The Politicians created the mortgage giants, which then returned some of the profits to the Politicians – sometimes directly, as campaign funds, sometimes as "contribution to favoured constituents".
Most critically, the US Government has been deliberately encouraging sub-prime lending ever since the 1977 Community Re-investment Act, which required US Banks to provide credit to "under served populations". A Federal Reserve guide- published in 1993 – argued that when banks assessed mortgage applicants "lack of credit history" should not be seen as a negative factor.
Kevin Rudd’s idea that the financial sector is an unregulated Capital wilderness is, to put it simply, a fantasy. To claim that the financial crisis is a failure of the "Free Market" is to ignore the many ways in which Government created the crisis in the first place.
