A great existential survival article has appeared at the otherwise brief news service Breitbart.com: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/30/malloch-europa-eurabia-last-man/
by Ted Malloch, “Europa, Eurabia and the Last Man,” July 30, 2017.

     The reference to the “last man,” is to the description given by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, to depict world-weary men, concerned only for their personal comfort and security, who are incapable of defence, and thus are opportunistic pacifists. Nietzsche saw the West as heading towards the mass production of such “last men,” which would ultimately spell the doom of their societies when faced with an external threat.

     Here is an uncomfortable issue for conservatives. It has long been pointed out at many stronger sites that European women support refugee intake more than men. Why might this be?
    There is one proposal based on the fact that the majority of the refugees are young men of military age, who have fled the country to save their bacon, rather than women and children, who have been left behind:

    The latest news story has it that older women are cashing in on this flood of young men:

     Physicists and philosophers seem to have fallen in love with the idea of the multiverse: that there are other universes, not spatially connected to our own. There was first the splitting universe idea in quantum mechanics, to deal with the collapse of the wave packet problem, but today with string theory, it seems that everything goes;
https://www.theguardian.com/science/across-the-universe/2017/may/17/multiverse-have-astronomers-found-evidence-of-parallel-universes
https://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press/2982-new-survey-hints-at-exotic-origin-for-the-cold-spot
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/can-physicists-ever-prove-multiverse-real-180958813/
     Now, a popular idea of the multiverse is that all realities are actualised. Every possible world is real, in some universe. There is a world where I am not a fat, aging professor of physics in a third-rate US campus, but instead, a young hot-blooded Nobel Prize winner.

     To reduce this idea to absurdity, let as consider this possible world: one of the omnipotent multiverse annihilators! If all realities are actualised then there is one possible world where cosmic killers exist, who would seek to destroy all other universes. Argue by assumption that such psychopaths have the power to annihilate universes.
    Thus, on the assumption that the multiverse exists, it follows that it would not exist, since the cosmic killers would have annihilated us. Since they have not, they do not exist. It follows that the multiverse does not exist. Physicists need to go back to the drawing board. 

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Galarrwuy Yunupingu has given a clear and noble account of the traditional Aboriginal process of settlement, but seems unaware of how, after the history of the last two or three centuries, it is irrelevant to constitutional procedures in the Australia of today.  Another mistake he makes is to imagine that Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten can speak on the issue of constitutional recognition for all Australians. They cannot, and true democracy demands that any change must be effected by means of a properly conducted referendum. Finally, there is a contradiction between his professions that he and the authors of the Uluru statement wish to be part of a unified nation, while he pursues an obviously divisive course which does not represent the wishes of all Aboriginals anyway.

     While we are still having debates about turning the other cheek, and whether or not one is justified defending one’s family from attackers seeking to eat us, or terrorists seeking to stab us:
http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/World/2017/07/28/22741370.html
and/or family, the Left is getting ready to do just that, at least in America.

     Far Left groups  are already undertaking terrorist and military training, to use extreme violence against conservatives. It is no longer, “Nazis,” that they seek to fight, but anyone opposing any aspect of the Left agenda. Look, here are some articles so you can judge this for yourself:

     Expect to see this in Australia, as we are always a few years behind the US in the decay and degeneracy stakes.

     Now here is something which really goes a long way in promoting multicult/multiracial harmony, especially at a time when there are tensions between local populations, who are being displaced, and migrant populations, who are surging to dominance:

     For the sake of accuracy, which is needed for people like us who are basically rabbits targeted for eradication, here is the punch line:

to THE AGE
     No, despite your editorial claim (‘Leaders should unite on push for republic’, 29/7), the monarchy is much more than ‘a colonial and imperial relic’.  Monarchy by its nature enshrines something that no republic can provide: a glorious and spiritual mystique which has extraordinary power to unite subjects in a loyalty that provides national strength as well as the sense of being part of a noble enterprise, divinely sanctified. The oneness of the monarch echoes the oneness of God.
     The world’s arts and literature are filled with the joyful celebration of royalty. You will never find there anything comparable for republican presidents or prime ministers. As for Mr Shorten’s plans, it looks as though in a shifty manner he and his fellow-republicans are trying to dodge a referendum on the fundamental question. Such irresponsibility is the opposite of statesmanship.

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Is the Leader of the Opposition planning to avoid the rigor of a referendum in his push to make us a republic? (‘Revival for republic plebiscite’, 29-30/7) Our forefathers wisely gave us a model for constitutional change that avoids hasty acts that might later be regretted. It does this by requiring rather more than a mere 50% plus 1.
     The proposed question for the plebiscite should be asked at a referendum. If the plebiscite does occur, then the subsequent referendum should include an option for the people to say ‘no’ to a republic.
     And it is essential that government funding and publicity for any plebiscite or referendum should be completely fair: 50% each.

     Economics dominates our world. Some feel that we should be all concerned about existential threats, but the human being is not like that. Take the so-called environmental crisis for example. Now we know it is all a scam, but just as a thought experiment, pretend we are just “normies.” Most kids at school are brainwashed into believing that there is some sort of climate change threat, but even so, hardly anyone changes their consumer behaviour. Now don’t panic, I am not saying that there is any truth here, but making a point. Even true believers, don’t follow through on actions if it is contrary to present interests. The Left support their grab bag of ideologies only because there is no personal price to be paid. It’s easy then when the system rewards treason against life, because of its built-in pathological death wish.

     Now consider debt and the standard of living. If anything is important, surely that is: “Cost of Living ‘crippling Families,’” The Australian, July, 28, 2017, p. 2. Here are the key points:

     Ricardo Duchesne is author of a brilliant defence of Western civilisation, The Uniqueness of Western Civilization https://www.amazon.com/Uniqueness-Civilization-Critical-Sciences-Academic/dp/9004232761, which is a scholarly text defending the West from many of its academic enemies. In his new book, Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age: https://www.amazon.com/Faustian-Man-Multicultural-Ricardo-Duchesne/dp/1910524840/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501397993&sr=1-1&keywords=faustian+man+in+a+multicultural+age,  he develops further the theme about the super-ultimate origin of the West’s uniqueness, which he did not explicitly address in the earlier book.

     The real core of the uniqueness of the West does not lie in the embracing of any culture or institutions, for it is people who make those things. Behind democracy and other goodies, lies the primordial drive to overcome, the will to power, as seen most dramatically in the legion of Faust.

     Here has been another sacrifice for the team, spending this cold Melbourne Sunday reading Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, (1971), rather than drinking rum.
This book was popular among radicals of the left in the 1970s and beyond, and was influential on President Obama and Hillary Clinton. It is the bible of cultural Marxism.

     Alinsky said in his personal acknowledgements: “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky, but this passage was not in my version of the book. It gives the flavour of what this guy is on about, and that he meant, business, big business.

to THE AGE
     David Baxter, quoting from one of the many beautiful hymns in the treasury of Christian sacred tradition, asks a pertinent question (28/7): why does God need human help to spread his word? Well, it seems from the most profound writings in all the great sacred traditions that there is not, after all, a clear dividing line between the divine and the human; rather there is a continuum in the universe linking together all beings and all being. Thus sacred scriptures are a joint activity of God and Man. And language is vital to communication and to community.
     Unfortunately, because ‘to err is human’, these scriptures are not, as it were, perfect and are prone to varieties of misinterpretation. That is why they should always be presented, in sacred buildings and in schools, in an atmosphere of free inquiry rather than fanatical authoritarianism.

To THE AUSTRALIAN
     Cheryl Saunders, in advocating constitutional recognition (‘Their distilled voice of hope’, 28/7), claims that there is ‘a deep fissure in our national identity’, but perhaps this is a figment of her imagination or a piece of wishful thinking by a committed political activist. There are a lot of other Australians apart from the 1200 who produced the unimpressive and unconvincing ‘Uluru statement from the heart’ and I believe that most of them are very pleased that they live in a free nation in which civic unity and co-operation is found throughout the land.
     Aboriginal culture is highly regarded and deeply respected by most of us; and we are happy for public funds to be deployed generously to assist Aboriginal persons and groups in need. What we do not want is campaigns to split Australia and Australians.

     A very good issue of the US anti-immigration journal The Social Contract, Summer, 2017, with some telling articles attacking globalism:  http://www.thesocialcontract.com/artman2/publish/tsc_27_4/index.shtml

     John Vinson, “Ending Nations Will Not End War,” criticises the universalism involved in a song like John Lennon’s Imagine, and Vinson is a Christian as well, who as president of the American Immigration Control Foundation, has written much on immigration control from a Christian perspective: http://www.aicfoundation.com/about.html.

     At the moment the political class is in panic about court rulings reinforcing the Constitutional requirement that prevent dual nationals from running for parliamentary office.  At present Senator Canavan seems to be in trouble because his mother, Australian-born, but Italian, signed him up for Italian citizenship in 2006, without his knowledge: The Australian, July, 26, 2017, p. 1.

     The cartoonists have made fun out of this claim, but I do not see any reason to doubt the claim as being sincere, for Italian mothers could culturally do such things for their sons. Obviously, mum did not know the consequences. What now?
    Well, I believe that section 44 of the Constitution is quite clear what needs to happen:

     Here is the really bad, unexpected news. Sperm quality in the West is crashing, but Australian sperm are some of the worse in the West, the lazy sods. Here is the scientific paper for our scientifically savvy readers: https://academic.oup.com/humupd/article/doi/10.1093/humupd/dmx022/4035689/Temporal-trends-in-sperm-count-a-systematic-review.

     And, here is the alarmist article for people more like me, who like a good apocalyptic scare, to get the animal spirits running: http://www.bbc.com/news/health-40719743

     One of the most socially significant events of our time has been the eclipse of Christian morality, and indeed traditional belief. Only decades ago, certainly in my memory, Christianity provided the social glue for society. This gradually came unstuck in the 1960s, and has accelerated ever since. We have had the most selfish generation which has ever existed, the baby boomers, squander the future of the nation and planet. They, above everybody else, have embraced every politically correct ideology and doctrine and sought to make it real. And, their power is at its peak now, as they go for broke. The world can presumably burn after them.

     This materialist generation have had little need for God; after all science and technology can solve all human problems, the founding doctrine of humanism: https://www.amazon.com/Arrogance-Humanism-Galaxy-Book/dp/0195028902. And it just goes on: http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/07/26/vice-documents-introduction-of-gender-neutral-kindergartens-in-sweden/.

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Marcia Langton asks (‘Put nation first, Langton tells indigenous MPs’, 26/7): ‘Are the indigenous parliamentary representatives serving party interests rather than the national interest?’ I ask: ‘Is the Aboriginal lobby, whose numbers have been inflated by a questionable mode of definition of Aboriginality, putting its own selfish interests ahead of those of Australians as a whole?’

to THE AGE
     Greg Clarke is right that the direction of our religious curriculum overall should be ‘to increase religious literacy’, but this will be best done by the ‘comparative religion’ that he is unduly wary of. Children should be encouraged to learn about the ways in which people throughout history have responded to the sacred, but should not be propagandized to accept one particular viewpoint. Encouraging respect for alternative belief positions is an important way in which society maintains a climate of intellectual freedom and civil peace. Exclusivist fanaticism, whether that of a particular religion or that of atheists, should be politely disparaged.
     No matter how strongly you believe in a particular approach to religion, your children are entitled to freely make up their own minds in due course.  Could any God worth worshipping want otherwise?
