Ethics, Part II, Proposition XLVII Now many errors consist of this alone, that we do not apply names rightly to things. For when one says that lines which are drawn from the centre of a circle to the circumference are unequal, he means, at least at that time, something different by circle than mathematicians. Thus when men make mistakes in calculation they have different numbers in their minds than those on the paper. Wherefore if you could see their minds they do not err; they seem to err, however, because we think they have the same numbers in their minds as on the paper. If this were not so we should not believe that they made mistakes any more than I thought a man in error whom I heard the other day shouting that his yard had flown into his neighbour's chickens, for his mind seemed sufficiently clear to me on this subject.

As everyone knows, the most effective way for a powerful, high-profile business figure to manipulate electoral outcomes is to publicly express deranged conspiracy theories lifted directly from the most paranoid corners of the internet in order to distract voters.

It was obvious all along, really.

I still think Diana Palmer’s husband was involved.

Haven’t seen a LaRouchian around the intertubes for a while, which is a shame.

I can never remember if the queen mother is in charge of the Rockefellers or vice versa, but it’s always good to hear the latest news about the global genocide conspiracy.

Lets not overlook something which may be important.Rockefeller funds the Eugenics movement.You know. Depopulation. Plus other frightening issues e.g Zero Growth. A smaller world will use less coal.

I’ve added an update to this post (see above). Palmer says “You only have to go back and read the Church Report in the 1970s and to read the reports to the US Congress which sets up the Rockefeller Foundation as a conduit of CIA funding.”

I’ve searched the Church Committee’s report and I can’t find any support for the claim that the Rockefeller Foundation was a conduit for CIA funding. I’m not saying it wasn’t, I’m just saying I can’t find any support for Palmer’s claim in the report.

To be fair to Clive, Lowy is catching a bit of the Kerry Packer Syndrome and turning into a goanna.

Well a quick google search comes up with:

http://activistcash.com/organization_financials.cfm/o/131-greenpeace

Listing top two Greenpeace donors as the “Turner Foundation” and “Rockefeller Brothers Fund” to the tune of a million dollars each. Of course, you would have to ask who is funding “ActivistCash” and to answer that you need “SourceWatch” who will tell you:

ActivistCash.com is a web site affiliated with the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a front group for the restaurant, alcohol and tobacco industries.

So there you go, the evil tobacco overlords are at it again. Mind you SourceWatch can’t actually find anything untrue about the Greenpeace donations, what they find is that:

In reality, none of the information that ActivistCash “exposes” has ever been hidden. It is available in public foundation reports and IRS tax statements that nonprofit organizations make available to anyone who asks.

Which would have to imply that SourceWatch also believes that the Greenpeace donations are real, I had to laugh when I read the ABC article where Drew Hutton struck back at Clive Palmer with the following:

Certainly there’s no amount of money that I’m aware of that’s come to my organisation, or for that matter any organisation that I’m aware of, by the Rockefeller Foundation or anybody else.

Egats, Greenpeace is funded by nobody at all! Drew Hutton is absolutely certain of that, or at least certain of what he is not aware of (seemingly a broadly encompassing sphere). I wish I could be so certain of what I am not aware of, it would save me a lot of time pacing up and down at night checking for nearby CIA assets.

Astute readers should be asking the pertinent question, where does SourceWatch get their funding from? Well, I’m very glad you asked, because SourceWatch is part of the “Center for Media and Democracy” which in turn is completely transparent about being funded by George Soros, and (wait for it) the Rockefeller Family Foundation as well as the Turner Foundation (and others, all documented by PR-Watch, also under the CMD umbrella).

None of the above has anything to do with conspiracy by the way, and anyone who doesn’t believe me on that point should consult a dictionary.

After careful consideration, I had arrived at the conclusion Clive Palmer was a reptoid, but this really throws a spanner in the works. I’ll have to skeptically re-scrutinise the evidence. Maybe he’s a Freemason. I don’t think he’s Jewish, otherwise my grandmother would know his mother.

(A libertarian FB friend of mine says: ‘Not a reptoid. I would have seen him at the reunion.’)

Couple this with the recent Lowy outbursts and the Professor seems a little less balanced and coherent than usual.

Sounds like Palmer has been out to lunch with the LaRouchians.

Next stop, reptilians.

A friend of mine worked (closely) for Palmer for some years. He probably can’t answer the question, but he won’t be shocked that it needs to be asked.

Yes, Quadrant, these were my immediate thoughts too. Clive should also know one of the Rockerfellas owns a lot of property in Hobart and has installed wind turbines onto of the Marine Board building.

I’ve heard it all before, in the 80s mind you. I shared a fairly open house, and one released unhappy-chappy had a monomania about the Rockefellas. He claimed ‘it’ was all run by Michael Rockefella who did not disappear while in New Guinea in the 1970s, but now lived on Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef, in some secret Thunderbirds like island installation. The only difference was that the CIA was the conduit not the source.

You guys are deluded about the lizards. They’re simply dinosaurs that didn’t die out 5000 years ago like the rest of them when God put humans on the Earth because they lived underground and ate worms. God obviously just forgot to remove them, probably because of Eve creating all those problems for Him. Like most dinosaurs, they also have brains the size of chickens, so we don’t need to fear them, and they probably taste like chickens too, so that can only be a good thing. Also, Anthony, stop being so ignorant — it was a Japanese submarine, not a Chinese one. Everyone knows that.

Didn’t the CIA stop funding Quadrant because it was too stridently right-wing? In which case, maybe Professor Palmer is on to something…

I, for one, welcome our new lizard overlords.

This is one of the greatest days in Australian political history. FINALLY THE LiZARDS WILL BE REVEALED. Clearly the lizards who live underground would oppose mining for coal, their lairs will be revealed.

I am not sure how the chinese submarines that kidnapped Harold Holt get into Lake Burley Griffin, or indeed if it is deep enough for a submarine. THAT’S JUST HOW SNEAKY THE CIA IS.
