And today's weather.....?

20110106W

And today's weather.....?

Australia - one day scorching, the next day drowning...!

Will it stop?

Have we reached the days of THE-FLOOD-THE-ENDLESS-FLOOD?

Have we reached the end?

Not the first in priorities, but let us await the news about our, and foreign insurance corporations, and how they hold-up once the bulk of insurance claims are submitted.

But let's not be parochial!

These and similar insurance corps worldwide are bracing for the onslaught from flooded customers right around the globe.

But, strangely..., most, thus far, appear to be from the developed nations of the USA, Eurape and down-here-down-underneath.

Ironic? The most materialistic peoples are being hit with extreme weather events? Fortunate for them, or for some significant number of the spoiled-world's residents and businesses, that they are wealthy enough to afford insurance against god's little helpers.

Not so fortunate, the Pakistanis or the Chinese, the El Salvadorians, or Chileans. Et Al.....

While it is fair, for we of the never-without-too-much mobs, to feel for the Aussies effected by the latest worst-ever floods, we and they must never forget the horror of last years enormous floods in Pakistan.

20 million people effected, with huge numbers drowned.

Rural Australians live there knowing full-well that it is '...a land of flooding rains' from time-to-time. Fortunate for them they have some organised emergency services, but also that these current floods (?) occur during summer months...., usually..., so the swimmers don't have to contend with freezing temperatures as well.

And few flooded Australians have had everything they know washed away forever.

Knowing them as I do, which isn't much, and watching them on TV news reports, most all of them are pretty laid-back about it all, even though they have lost many and most of their personal possessions, in terms of furniture, etc.

Farmers..., suffering ten or more years of drought, drought brought on because of the unbelievably unsustainable agricultural practices of the last 220 years or so, now watch laconically as their baron fields disappear under water.

No doubt, with the 'she'll be right' Ocker attitude, most of them can live with it. But no doubt also, many will be eager to receive the $25,000 offered by the federal government, and whatever the states can afford, to get our agri-sectors back in the green.

Indeed, how many have been 'dreaming-up' the floods just for that purpose?

Nobody knows!

But on the after-effects..., what of this 'food-bowl Australia', which supplies the world it's staples and bouquet tucker?

Recent news items told us that we in the Land of the Immortals (Aborigines) supply food to some 60 million people around the world.

This was snapped-up by the ag-sector to emphasise how important our farming industries are, and thus, how important it is that they are funded by the governments and BY US.

Well, first, when I heard that, and that the figure was being used by demented farmers to talk-up our worth on the global stage, the global profit-margin-stage, the PRIVATE global profit-margin-stage..., as, that we are (in)-effectively 'feeding the world', a quick calculate gave me the figures of a paltry 0.862 of one percent of the world's eaters are fed because of our amazing farmers and ag-sector.

Now that's NOT a WOW!

Of course, were our farming intelligent and Wise, we could feed ten times that 60 mill number, and some.

'But NO-O! Maxie! We can't have people doing what is BEST for everyone, while at once expecting them to be able to do some REALWork for personal material and psychological reward?'


Nevertheless, the extent of how much Australian farming feeds the world being as small as it is, news mills are sensationalising the threat to global food security post the floods, saying that worldwide, food prices will rise sometimes two or three or four-fold.

The same applies to both fuel oil and coking coal.

Lately, the price of crude oil has started to rise again, and Aussies are threatened by those dark cabals with fuel price rises.

Yet, in another news item from I forget which continent, Africa methinks, the people (Ah! South America!), had rioted because fuel prices were increased by their 3rd world nation's government by seven percent! To an astounding $0.57/litre or so!

And we are paying around AUS$1.35/litre?

It may figure, therefore, that if Australia was to suddenly collapse into 3rd world economic and development status, our fuel prices would drop by some 60%.

Hmmmm...? Free markets at play AGAIN!

On the rumour that we feed so many from other nations, it has to be asked just which people from other nations we do feed?

Our meat products are near top of the list in terms of quality, as are our grains, legumes and the like.

It's not hard to see that we are not doing any crucial food provision for any of the Human Beings most in need of a feed, from 3rd world regions, but that a large part of our exported foods go straight into the restaurants and upclub supermarket shelves of the wealthiest nations.

No surprise that they are mainly western nations. And when they are not, they are very much westernised. And when they are not even westernised, they are the 3rd world's elite warlord's dinner tables which are covered with our fine cuisines.

And all these wealthy bastards are so in need of $100 steaks for breakfast, and buckets of $8,000 per fish seafood delights!

Oh Yaye!?

So, whether or not the floods stress the export fancy food market, or even the national vegetable and froot markets, everyone in Australia should be humble in their grief, or loss, by remembering the HUNDREDS-OF-millions of Paki's, Chinese, Africans, or others who have absolutely nothing now, post their recent floods, post whichever natural or unnatural disaster has wiped out their worlds.

Anyone recall 'Haiti'!? Oh! Most Haitians still live without clean water, sanitation, foods or even housing.

And ABC, Sky, and every media channel keeps the Queensland floods rightinourface......

Whether the rains will slow or stop in the near future, is yet to be seen.

Watching global weather events as I do, this does NOT seem to be the forecast.

Meteorologists lines about 'el nino' and 'la nina' are pure myths, dreamed-up by desperate Catholics to skirt around the issue which underlies the very existence of the Catholic church, and it's HQ in Rome.

Witchcraft!

That a coven of the world's most powerful witches in the 19th and 20th centuries - the high priests of Jerusalem, Rome and wherever the HQ of Freemasonry was back 150 years - could be stupid enough to believe that witchcraft would not resurface as a popular art and influence on the world, spreading fundamental FACTS about what has been going-on behind the scenes in global religion, politics, wealth-creation, law and crime etc etc etc, and that, as it is said 'there are no secrets in the occult realm', really does tell us that we, as one planet of intelligent beings, are far passed any need or want for those heinous notions, notions of religious cults which use every means to force us to believe their utter utter utter garbage.

But that's just my opinion. No facts. No insight. No Wisdom. Just a head full of unsubstantiated opinions.

Like our right wing politicians, and farmers, and tourist agencies, and real estate mogulsOHHELLOTEDDYBAILLEAU!!!!

But, I might be running off the causeway here......?

When...., IF...., the floods desist, and the rural towns and villages are rehabitated, more expense will go to refitting the poor lowlands' houses. Then there's a frightening amount of infrastructure to be rebuilt. Roads, streets, footpaths, power, sewerage, water, birdsnests, schools, etc etc etc.

While media sensationalises the worst ever scenario, which it may well be, who is fitted with the rightmindedness enough to venture some sort of plan for the nation? A plan which offers some rational, reasonable and tenable ideas about how in future we can best deal with untoward weather events?

Oh! Let's ask drOpposition leader Tiny Habit? He knows EVERYTHING about Catholic witchcraft AND climate change!

Witchcraft? Whose talking witchcraft???

Taking everything into perspective, I find it impossible to not believe the we will have to 'go the whole hog' and be brave when we try to figure the best future-scenario.

And, funny as it is, this happens to seem to have to include my penchant of addressing and implementing SERIOUS Land Reforms, nationwide.

The first part, it seems, should be around relocating people from floodplains, like Rockhampton, and most towns on the Darling Downs, etc etc etc, and an etc etc etc..., to higher ground, above the 14.9metre watermark. Etc etc etc.

The only possible objectors could be the rich bastards who already occupy the hill sides and tops - the bighouse mobs.

Meet them down the street on Sat'dee morning, and they're as friendly as you'll ever meet!

And LAUGH? Oh they laugh..... all the way up the bank manager's trousers!

But come to a Humanitarian change in thinking from ripping-off the poor bastards down the hill, and... 'Jeeez, lads... better get the guns out!'

And, 'Oh Woz One..., how doth we implement such Wozdom?'

Yeah!

I drive the country a fair bit, and always see beautiful mountains and hill ranges as I wander.

In every pocket of this nation, there stand thousands of hectares, well above the high water marks, on ranges, silently there amidst the most spectacular views and forests stretching out to the horizon, that have been totally denuded of all natural flora - not a tree on 'em!

And.., because of our farmers (HAHAHAHAHA!) utter brilliance in farming techniques, the soils are parched, or WASHED AWAY, such that barely a fucking grasshopper can sustain themselves on the ground.

But 'doesn't it look luvely from the road, aunty!?'

All those gently undulating hills, sometimes even green with grasses, once pristine forests daily offering-up the evaporating H2O to keep the global hydrological cycles stable and flush.

Get a LIFE, ASTRAYLIAR!

Or fucking DROWN!

Land Reform.

And dissolve the thieving middlemen of our states' and territories' parliaments!

And Happy New Year, ya dogs!
