     Peter Hartcher rightly suggests (‘The dangers in playing the politics of identity’, 26/8) that a wise political party will seek to ‘lift the collective gaze to a political vision for the nation.’ What might that vision be for Australia?
     It will have to be inclusive of all major interests, so it will not accept Hartcher’s claim that ‘the Imperial British vision of Aboriginal people’ was that they were ‘non-existent.’ We know very well that the 18th and 19th century British authorities fully recognized the existence of the Aboriginals but did not adequately understand the quality of their tribal and inter-tribal lifestyle. Thus they assumed that there was no government to deal with and that they had an obligation to bring civilization to a people viewed as ‘primitive.’
     An authentic national vision will be both realistic and equitable. The Coalition and the ALP could co-operate on articulating this, with elections centering on different ways of promoting the shared ideals. We would then have a happier and calmer country.

     The cyber/IT systems that have become the lifeblood of modern capitalism are more vulnerable that most people, and professionals, think:
http://collapse.news/2017-08-22-advisory-panel-says-cyber-911-against-critical-infrastructure-is-extremely-likely-why-you-need-to-prepare-for-it-now.html
http://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2017/08/times-running-out-prevent-massive-cyberattack-critical-infrastructure-advisory-group-says/140417/?oref=nextgov_breaking_alert_nl

“U.S. infrastructure is in “a pre-9/11 moment” when it comes to cybersecurity and time is running short to shore up its cyber defenses, an industry advisory committee warned Tuesday.
If government and industry don’t dramatically boost their efforts to protect critical infrastructure, such as the financial system or electric grids, they risk missing a “narrow and fleeting window of opportunity before a watershed, 9/11-level cyberattack,” according to a report approved by the Homeland Security Department’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council.”

     Heard the one about the oh-so-pure politicians, who advocate anti-racist, non-discriminatory everything – except for one thing – their own perks:
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/pension-age-rising-to-70-will-save-government-36b/news-story/3d49fff0ee39ac22f0e321e4b19953cc

     The Libtards are hoping to save $ 3.6 billion, plus get lots of extra yummy tax, as those who are unlucky enough to have a job will now work until they die. Hey, maybe if we abolished the government, philosophical anarchism-style, we could save even more! Look, some people think that this can be done:

     Well, the backlash from Charlottesville is rolling over the world like nuclear clouds of radiation soon will. The Left and antifa are going plain mad. Examples abound. An Asian with the name Robert lee, has been removed from his assignment of calling a football game at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville because his name sounded like the Confederate General! Yes, they are in power, so they are allowed to be dopey.

     Then there is the “Kill all whitey statues,” rampage that the Left is now on, moving on from attacking Confederate statues, to all White historical figures including Christopher Columbus:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/aug/21/christopher-columbus-monument-in-baltimore-smashed/.
Here is their line of thought, if thought it actually is:

     It is good to see some critical reflection about the dark side of immigration, especially in the light of compounding absurdities, such as the suggestion of using chemicals such as oxytocin to make Whites love refugees, migrants, transgenders, and anyone the globalists want them to like:

     Australia does not have writers along the lines of Jeff Cooper (1920-2006), just like it does not have bad ass cultural heroes such as Jim Bowie (1796-1836).  Sure we have Ned Kelly, but couldn’t anyone have put on a tin can and got shot up? Just joking irish fans, I love old Ned and his tin suit, real cool and clever. We Aussies were once as tough as our brother Yanks, but now it is a moot question who has the lowest T.

     Anyway, back to Jeff Cooper, the father of American pistol craft, and the thinking man’s survivalist:
https://www.buckeyefirearms.org/quotations-jeff-cooper
While there are a lot of Cooper’s works out there, I found a real gem from Special Weapons, 1983 Annual, “The fighting Rifle: Forgotten but Not Gone.” I was culling out my bag of papers to get paper to use as fire-stater, and I read this one before burning it. You see, living in a tent, space is premium and there is no room for such luxuries such as storage.

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Coalition MPs such as George Brandis and Christopher Pyne, who are claiming (‘Religious rights threat in state laws’, 24/8) that the coming postal vote is about nothing else than ‘allowing gay couples to wed’, are doing further damage to their party by such an inaccurate, head-in-the-sand approach.
     Sufficient evidence has now come to light, both from overseas experience and analyses of Australian laws, to show that a ‘yes’ vote will lead to a serious diminution of religious freedom in the nation, unless very great care is taken beforehand to adjust and introduce legal protections for adherents of religions and other persons motivated by conscience.
     If the High Court allows the postal vote to proceed, there should be an immediate bipartisan declaration by the PM and Leader of the Opposition that, whatever the result, no change to our marriage law will be legislated until satisfactory protections are in place.

to THE AGE
     Current attacks on the celebration of Australia Day are too often misleading. Gregory Smithers (‘January 26 has long been a political catalyst’, 24/8) focuses on ‘white privilege’ but neglects to consider white achievement in our history. Ordinary Aussies are not superficial, as he suggests they are, to see the attacks as destructive of ‘the myths and symbols that give meaning to collective national identity.’ And the ‘changing of political power’ in the nation is a matter of deep concern for lovers of traditional Australia. It smacks of incipient totalitarianism.
     As for John Armstrong’s generalizing reference (Letters, 24/8) to ‘white settlers’ seeing Aboriginals as ‘part of the fauna’, it is a grossly unjust insult for which no adequate evidence exists at all.

     Even conservative cultural critics like me love to visit the ever-cranky Jim Goad over at Taki’s Mag to see what he has said about the latest piece of cultural collapse. He is my measuring stick of the collapse. How many minutes to Goad does humanity have left?
    Here is his take on Charlottesville, the lunar Left and Trump:

     Many angry four-letter words at this site, so do not go there if you are easily offended, as you must be by almost everything in our sinister society.

     Here is a good piece poking fun at Australian prohibited weapons law:
http://gunwatch.blogspot.com.au/2017/08/australian-gun-culture-part-15.html
The laws relate to weapons that are not firearms. For example, Biblical era missile launchers, potato and water balloon launchers are banned. No crossbows, no slingshots as used by kids a few decades ago, all types of martial arts weapons (anything found in a Bruce Lee movie), no personal alarms, and the list goes on and on.

     But, to simplify, in America, which holds to the English common law position, now eroded in England and Australia, everything is allowed except that which is prohibited. But, in Australia, everything is prohibited, except what is allowed. As with every other issue, these erosions of freedoms have been allowed to occur over many decades because the masses of ordinary sheeple people just don’t take a stand against them. We have slid into being a totalitarian police state, and this is only early days yet. As the song says, they have only just begun:

     The amazing world of the internet allows speedy communication. Sometimes you may click on an article, read it, and find, after finishing it, that things have moved on and an update has been posted. On-line journalism has a frantic, if not manic pace, but it is suicidal and ultimately destructive, imploding on itself. News drowns news, and in the end, one is too numbed to know what to think. Backache and eye-burn-out are part of the game.

     But, given that, here is my update on writings that supplement things which you have read here. First, Charlottesville, if it has not bored you yet, has obtained symbolic meaning for the American right:
http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2017/08/19/feelings-and-thoughts-on-charlottesville/
Apparently the antifa “is a major gift to the right”:
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/noam-chomsky-antifa-is-a-major-gift-to-the-right/article/2631786

     North Korea has again threatened Australia for “blindly’ aggravating war:
http://www.smh.com.au/world/north-korea-warns-australia-against-suicidal-military-drills-with-united-states-20170821-gy13z7.html following on from previous threats of a nuclear strike on Australia:
http://www.news.com.au/world/asia/north-korea-threatens-australia-with-nuclear-strike-over-us-allegiance/news-story/fa28ccb9eaaff6c02f5c12bdc19bc227

     I am not sure how this will be played out. Most people dismiss the idea of Australia copping a nuke, but there is a scenario where North Korea shows that it means business by nuking Australia. Trump allows this, making us a sacrificial lamb, just like was done at Gallipoli. Australia, is, after all, expendable to these big players.

     While “Normies” are liking to say “I’m not radical, don’t shut down my precious site,” the System moves on, going down the list of everyone they don’t like.

     We now have the news of Facebook blocking a traditional marriage campaign in the same sex marriage debate:
http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/opinion/opinion-free-speech-hijacked-by-gay-marriage-supporters/news-story/cd702eea8ca24f012645007647959486

     Here is a good article which I see as supporting in abstract, not by name, the noble Reduce Immigration  Write On Campaign: https://reduceimmigration.wordpress.com/
http://theconversation.com/why-a-population-of-say-15-million-makes-sense-for-australia-78391

     The article is entitled “Why a Population of, Say, 15 Million Makes Sense for Australia.” The article rightly notes that the two major parties accept rapid population growth, and so do the capitalists, the retailers, real estate developers, financial sector and media. They could have added university academics, and the entire new class  here too.

     Longtime reporter and commentator Mark Anderson of www.thetruthhound.com and www.steemit/@truthhound explores the major media's post-Charlottesville assault on nationhood and on truth, under the clever guise of stamping out "hate," and asks: Is Nationalism the core problem, or is it internationalism?

    The title is from Jeremiah 8:20. The quotation from the Old Book occurred to me when I read these statistics about Islam in the UK:

Mayor of London ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Birmingham ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Leeds ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Blackburn ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Sheffield ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Oxford ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Luton ... MUSLIM     
Mayor of Oldham ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Rochdale ... MUSLIM 

     Remember that Nick X team, who claim to stand for freedom and independence, voted against the reforms to section 18 C, for reasons you can well guess: http://www.skynews.com.au/news/top-stories/2017/03/31/senate-votes-down-18c-reforms.html

“Labor, the Greens, the Nick Xenophon Team and crossbencher Jacqui Lambie opposed changes to the wording of 18C, robbing the government of the 39 votes it needs to get it through the upper house.” 

     Australians, obviously enough, may not be able to feel the same intense disappointment which we American traditionalists, now feel about President Donald Trump. He was elected to stand up to the globalists, and the globalists like Soros and Obama have been working to destroy his presidency:

https://nworeport.me/tag/putin-slams-dangerous-soros-for-driving-america-towards-civil-war/

     Here is Putin on Soros: “Make no mistake, his endgame is revolution through civil war. In America he is using exactly the same tactics he uses everywhere.”  “George Soros is a well-known pyromaniac with matches in his back pocket pouring petrol onto a bonfire.” “He does not own the world and he does not have the right to do whatever he wants. The people must come together and reject this dragon. We have no room for his divisive politics in Russia, and I think you will all agree we are much the better for that. With all due respect, America must reject George Soros’s vision.”  Putin regards Soros as a threat to Russian national security. Have a read what Soros thinks:
