Western Mining Corporation green
appointee thinks Henry Ford worse than Hitler
Trish Caswell, former extreme left-wing head of the Australian Conservation
Foundation, has just been appointed by Hugh Morgan, chief executive of Western
Mining Corporation, to the company’s external advisory panel, which only
demonstrates how much personal advice Hugh Morgan is in need of.
Does he not know that Caswell named Henry Ford as one of the “great
villains” of the twentieth century (Rupert Murdoch’s Australian 9-10 March
1996)? Hitler exterminates 6 million Jews in gas chambers and by a variety of
other ghastly means and Caswell calls Ford the “villain” of the century!
Why? What was Henry’s crime? In her own words: “He invented a machine that
has seduced the world, infiltrated most corners of it, noisy, deadly, smelly. .
.” I’ve got news for Caswell: no Ford car was ever as “noisy, deadly” or as
“smelly” as a Nazi gas chamber, a NKVD charnel house or Pol Pot’s Killing
Fields.
My god, the twentieth century’s political chamber of horrors is filled with
monsters like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot et al., and she
chooses the father of the Model T-Ford as her “villain” of the century. What a
charming example of green morality.
But it’s not Caswell I’m attacking but the ethically challenged Morgan and
his “enigmatic” advisers. What does Morgan think he’s up to? For years greenies
and other lefties — Caswell among them — have been attacking large corporations
for their alleged lack of ethics. And now Morgan substantiates their claims by
putting this greenie on the payroll. And it is unethical — for more reasons than
some people might at first think.
Morgan owes Western Mining’s shareholders an explanation and an apology.
But more than that, he owes the victims of the Nazi extermination camps an
apology. Not just them, but the victims of every totalitarian twentieth century
thug. But Jews and other victims should not hold their breath waiting for an
apology from someone like Morgan. Any corporate executive who could appoint the
likes of Caswell to a senior position in his corporation has obviously lost any
understanding he may have had of ethics.
In plain English, because I’m beginning to think Morgan is also
linguistically challenged: the appointment is unethical, immoral and
cowardly.
