There was a very good article by Jennifer Oriel (“There Can be No Reasoning with PC Bigot Rights Advocates,” The Australian, October 17, 2016, p. 12) discussing the race hatred complaint about the Bill Leak cartoon. That’s not my area of interest, but I did notice her argument that the UN’s aim of universal human rights has “been replaced by minority rights championed by socialists and Islamists.”
As well “The Marxist dictatorship of the proletariat has been replaced by the neo-Marxist dictatorship of manufactured minorities.”

She notes that the “UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, recently demonised conservative politicians of eight countries for opposing his agenda. The UN has endorsed a new campaign to classify dissent from its open border policy as “xenophobia” and “intolerance.” ”

I never thought that I would see the day, but a PhD thesis has exposed a global gold price collusion scam. (The Australian, October 14, 2016, p. 1) Not only that, but four of the world’s major banks are being sued for up to $1 billion over fixing of the price of gold.

Dr Andrew Caminschi conducted a computer analysis of tens of millions of gold transactions and discovered manipulations during the meetings, held twice a day to determine the benchmark price of gold. It was found that during the meetings, but before the benchmark price of gold was supposed to be known, there was a substantial rise in the trading volumes of gold derivatives. This indicated that the banks were engaged in insider-trading, making use of information not available to the rest of the market.

Congratulations Dr Caminschi! One wonders what else could be uncovered if PhD theses, and academic research in general sought to pursue such lines of research.

I recall a John Lennon song “Isolation”, which contained a long litany of things that he did not believe in: “I don’t believe in…” Included in the “false gods” were the “Beatles” and “Zimmerman” – Bob Dylan’s real surname, a Jewish name. I also recall Lennon being quizzed in an interview about why he used the name “Zimmerman” and he snapped back “Because that’s his name.” He no doubt thought that even Dylan needed deconstruction.

Dylan does not deserve the Nobel Prize in literature. There is controversy enough about the quality of his music: the adequacy of the vocals, his croaking and voice only the fan boys could love. Dylan and the Beatles represented the progressive Left values of the 1960s, but by today’s standards their sentiments are badly dated.
By the standards of even contemporary writers, let alone the greats of Western civilisation, Dylan’s lyrics treated as poetry are nothing but average. The music carried the lyrics, but remove the music and one is left with little.

Finally, as Dylan himself sung, “the times they are a-changing”. He represented, along with the Beatles, one part of the 1960s revolt against Western civilisation. They both helped create a culture which in terms of popular music is now seen in the chaos of MTV. Hopefully though there is now the beginnings of a revolt against this progressive Left world view.
As for the Nobel Prize – well, it lost all credibility when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to President Obama shortly after taking office, for no other reason that I can see beyond being non-white.

Here is the shape of things to come, or rather, as they are.
Trump said in a speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, that Hillary Clinton “meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U. S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors.”

All of that is true, as revealed by the Wikileaks email dumps. But the speech was condemned by the Anti-Defamation League and many Jewish organisations as “anti-Semitic,” or near to it.
See: http://www.jta.org/2016/10/14/news-opinion/politics/donald-trumps-conspiracy-theories-stir-uneasy-echoes.

One thing shown by the Donald Trump phenomenon is that the establishment media is corrupt, absolutely corrupt. The Australian newspapers had enough articles on Trump’s sex scandal to clean up cat messes for many a week, but only passing mention of the absolute mountain of damaging and concerning material in the Wikileaks Clinton emails. There is so much toxic material and in such a quantity that it is doubtful whether the entire state of South Australia, the world’s proposed nuclear waste dump, could contain it.

First up, Hillary Clinton loves the idea of a “open trade and open borders,” which we know as globalism, or the New World Order. She has said that her political strategy is to say one thing to the masses and another, what she intends to do, to her masters, the global financial class. Thus, she opposed the TPP in the election, but intends to push it through once she is in power. The emails show her courting the global super-class, as she whispers sweet somethings into their Satanic ears, such as that Americans who want to limit immigration are “fundamentally un-American” – as if being “American’ means anything in her deranged cosmopolitan world. After all, Trump supporters are, she openly proclaimed “deplorables,” and “irredeemable, but thankfully they are not American.” America, to her is “an intellectual invention,” with no national identity. Or, she intends to make it so.

The following is a lecture delivered by Patrick Moore, formerly President of Greenpeace Int’l, to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London. He is a vocal critic of faulty science that supports climate-change caused by humans. Since he was a legend in the eco-movement, his current assessment is credible and authoritative.

Should We Celebrate Carbon Dioxide?

My Lords and Ladies, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Thank you for the opportunity to set out my views on climate change. As I have stated publicly on many occasions, there is no definitive scientific proof, through real-world observation, that carbon dioxide is responsible for any of the slight warming of the global climate that has occurred during the past 300 years, since the peak of the Little Ice Age. If there were such a proof through testing and replication it would have been written down for all to see.

from JoNova's Website:
Bill Leak is a cartoonist, who did a cartoon highlighting the dismal state of some dysfunctional familes in central Australia. I can’t show you that cartoon and we can’t discuss appalling crime statistics nor why  “women of a certain ethnic group are 30 times (or 80 times) more likely to be beaten and hospitalized.”  Two women die every week but we can’t talk about the problem of people who stomp on someone else’s head because words might offend someone.)

When Mosul falls, Isis will flee to the safety of Syria. But what then?
The entire Isis caliphate army could be directed against the Assad government and its allies – a scenario which might cause some satisfaction in Washington.

Syria’s army and Hezbollah and Iranian allies are preparing for a massive invasion by thousands of Isis fighters who will be driven out of Iraq when Mosul falls. The real purpose behind the much-trumpeted US-planned "liberation" of the Iraqi city, the Syrian military suspect, is to swamp Syria with the hordes of Isis fighters who will flee their Iraqi capital in favour of their "mini-capital" of Raqqa inside Syria itself.

A document produced last December by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, headed: “ UK Humanitarian Aid in Response to The Syria Conflict”, makes interesting reading. The British government it states, has spent “over £100 million” since 2012, “working closely with a range of actors” to “find a political solution to the conflict and prepare to rebuild the country in the post Assad era.” (Emphasis added.)

I know, I know.  These are just words.  But listen to these words, these are absolutely amazing words, nobody before dared say what Trump says.  At the very least, I think that we have to give him the benefit of the doubt.  What if Trump is really sincere?  I am not saying that he is.  But I am wondering – what if?!

The hypocrisy of the political and chattering class never ceases to amaze me. We have seen the spectacle of male politicians and journalists falling over themselves to condemn Trump’s language and raise themselves to ever-higher moral heights. Yet, while we cannot name names here because of defamation, you can surf the net and acquire much dirt on many leading names. It is well known in Canberra that high class call girls regularly serve the political class. None of this dirt gets out because both sides do it, but from time-to-time a pollie gets careless with payments and gets exposed.

A number of leading pollies in the past were notorious sex addicts and one is said to have died in the act. From a Christian perspective this is sinful and appalling, but is how the world is. What is more appalling though is the sham high morality of pretending to be offended by the “P” word, while Hillary Clinton’s latest Wikileaks shows that she is lying about almost everything.

The P-Gate controversy was used as a smokescreen to take attention away from the Podesta/Clinton emails released via Wikileaks.
In short, Hillary Clinton delivered speeches to Big Businesses such as Goldman Sachs, Xerox and others, freely admitting that she supports open borders and a global free market (including the TPP which in public she says she would oppose).

She openly stated that she takes a different position based on whether she is talking to her Big Business donors of the public – in other words, that she just lies and deceives the public.

The chattering class in the lead-up to the Trump-Clinton debate (No. 2) were falling over themselves in shock! horror! that Donald Trump spoke in a sexually aggressive way about women and used the “p” word. None of this is new; Trump in his 2007 book Think Big boasted about his sexual conquest of women and said much the same as was said in the tapes, that it goes with the territory of being rich and powerful.

The Australian had a massive amount of material on this, but nothing I could see on the much more important Podesta/Clinton emails released by Wikileaks, which the trumped up Trump tapes was designed to bury. Before going into that, let us round off the Trump P-Gate issue.

Before the Trump-gate bad-mouth-about-women scandal, Donald Trump Jr said that the Syrian refugee problem could be described as follows:

“If I had a bowl of skittles and told you just three would kill you.
Would you have a handful?”

I have been given a copy of Christopher Jon Bjerknes’ Albert Einstein: The Incorrigible Plagiarist (2002), and by coincidence I also linked to the Quora.com discussion “Was Einstein a Fake and a Plagiarist?” The very-much establishment site Quora had the usual fan boy responses to those questioning sacred cows.

Interestingly enough a lot of attention was given to the views of Nobel Prize winner Philipp Lenard, who became of chief of Aryan physics under the Nazi regime. Naturally, Lenard’s claims of Einstein’s plagiarism must be dismissed, as Nazi propaganda.
However, one Quora comment, by Wasim Bari, makes the case that Einstein was the “plagiarist of the century.”
The key ideas in his 1905 paper, written without any references, were known to Lorentz and Poincaré before Einstein.
The famous E = mc2 equation was known to S. Tolver Preston (1875) and to Jules Herin Poincaré (1900), along with Olinto De Pretto (1904), before Einstein.
All of the basics of the special theory of relativity had been presented by Poincaré, such as the velocity of light as a limit velocity that mass depends upon speed and the impossibility of detecting absolute motion. None of this was acknowledged by Einstein in his unreferenced 1905 paper.
The interesting question is, if all of this is true, and Bjerknes’ book gives ample evidence, why has the media promoted the image of “St. Albert”? And, what other scientific sacred cows, have yet to be exposed?

Collapse News, October 5 2016 reports that during the past year, according to leaked FBI data, there were over 7,700 terrorist encounters in the US. Most of these terrorist encounters were in the states near the US/Mexico border, showing that terrorists are entering through this non-protected barrier.

Of course, when this issue was raised by Donald Trump, he was shouted down as a racist by the manic left. But the issue raised here are how safe are our borders, and especially, what is getting into Australia through our vast coastline, where resources necessary for adequate protection are also missing from action?

As much as possible I have tried to shield myself from all the hype associated with Hollywood star Kim Kardashian. But I do know that she supports gun control.
How ironic, then, that in gun-controlled France (gun-controlled for ordinary people, not the criminals), Kardashian was robbed by armed robbers, disguised as police officers. Kardashian has said that guns “scare her” and if she could change the world, gun control is something she would do.

Well, Paris is a city with the sort of gun control the likes of which Kardashian supports, and look where that got her. Presumably she has some sort of security system, but she still ended up with the situation of being robbed at gun point. She could have been murdered.

We, at this site have been critical of Pope Francis for his support of liberal ideologies, especially the Islamisation of Europe. However, the Pope has fallen from grace with liberals recently for his criticism of genderism in schools, which he has referred to as “ideological colonisation.” Genderism was a “great enemy of marriage” and part of a “global war to destroy (traditional) marriage.”
See: http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/4991/pope_francis_vs_gender_ideology.aspx.

In March 2016 the Pope published a letter Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), which criticised same-sex marriage, seeing it as the “legal deconstruction of the family,” and wrote that genderism was flawed because of its denial of “the difference and reciprocity in nature of a man and a woman” and far its utopian dream of a “society without sexual differences.” The attempt to erase sexual difference is the symptom of a sick society, he proposed.
See: https://w2.vatican.va/content/dam/francesco/pdf/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20160319_amoris-laetitia_en.pdf.

Will activists be slamming the Pope with a hate/discrimination case?

Senator CULLETON (Western Australia) (17:20): I stand here in this chamber today to present my inaugural speech on oath, to deliver my message to the Australian people. What follows will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth before almighty God and the people of Australia.
