At the current meeting of the G20 , Australia , Germany ,France and Britain have strongly urged other nations to continue Keynesian stimulus packages . As this Little Darwin scribbler has spent a sheltered life , mixing with sober fellow journos who regard the Christian Science Monitor as their Bible , he has been shocked by unsavoury revelations about Baron John Maynard Keynes , whose economic views are being enthusiastically followed to save the globe from descending into the financial netherworld.
Recently there have been disturbing statements on air and in print that Keynes was bi-sexual and into SM. In my innocence , I asked a Sydney stockbroker the meaning of SM , thinking it had something to do with manipulating the global market for silver, like good old Texan oilman, Nelson Bunker Hunt, once the world's richest man.
The furtive broker slipped me a business card for Madam Lash , a dominatrix , with branch offices in all states and territories. Weak at the knees and shocked by this revelation , I turned to the arts to soothe my nerves. Pulling out a recent acquisition, an alternative history of the British Arts Council by Richard Witts , Little Brown and Company, London, there was further disturbing content in the very first chapter , the opening paragraph stating that while a leading figure in the British arts world, John Christie, enjoyed the company of Nazis and strutted about in lederhosen, his arty enemy, John Maynard Keynes, preferred the fellowship of boys.
This , and much more , is said of Keynes, the influential economist and writer , involved in the foundation of the World Bank and a major player ( fiscally speaking ) in the Bretton Woods Conference in America at which 28 countries agreed to set up the International Monetary Fund. Chapter 8 –my lucky number –in the book was headed : The twilight of the sods , which is not a misprint . Mary Whitehouse would be aghast at such literature and move to have it thrown on a heap of offending filth, along with bankers, hedge fund sharpies, ratings agencies , Uncle Tom Cobbley et al, and napalmed.
