To The Australian
Gerard Henderson tells an important story about cultural integrity within Australia and other Western nations (‘Conservative values not safe in Liberal academic hands’, 1-2/4). He notes that the new executive director of the Ramsay Centre, Simon Haines, ‘has never stood up in the public debate in defence of Western civilisation or any other cause’ and that his ‘public quietude’ has been through fear that ‘his academic career would suffer.’

It certainly seems true that conservatives in Australia are inhibited by various factors from full discussion of the nature and extent of the different threats to our traditional culture, civilisation and quality of life. This appears to be even true of brave defenders of freedom such as ‘The Australian’ and ‘Quadrant Magazine’ in some contexts. We need more conservatives willing to risk all for truth - and more investigative journalism into the inhibiting factors.

It has been reported that there is a major mental health crisis sweeping through “our” universities, with over 70 percent of students experiencing high or very high levels of stress, and over one in three saying that they have contemplated self-harm or suicide: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/epidemic-of-stressed-university-students/news-story/6faa252ef18984e39bc5cd24f6413a22.

A national survey found that over half of students sampled had reported feelings of worthlessness, had panic attacks or experienced trouble sleeping. If one does a bit of Googling, one finds that there are similar results across the world: http://www.collegedegreesearch.net/stress-in-college-students/.

The concerns about the dystopian impacts of technology are many, and being voiced by a wide spectrum of thinkers. Let us leave aside he issue of the CIA’s snooping into everything electronic, and its erosion of privacy: http://thefreethoughtproject.com/dennis-kucinich-vault-7-wikileaks-prove-private-lives-do-not-exist/.

The loss of jobs has also been discussed, with automation threatening up to 38 percent of US workers in the next 15 years: The Australian, April 6, 2017, p. 22. That, however, is not my concern today, as serious as it is. The threat runs deeper and challenges what it means to be human and live in a free  society.

The governor of the Reserve Bank has warned that the debt-mad property market in Sydney and Melbourne, which is the bulk of Australia, is about to face big problems. (The Australian, April 5, 2017, p. 1) First, banks are lending to people who have no hope of repaying their debts. Second, because of this, household debts are rising more than twice as fast as household income.

A repeat of the 1890s great property collapse, caused by a housing land boom could soon be repeated, where half of all banks closed. One segment of the financial elite class has poo-pooed all of this, saying that it has a low probability of happening. I would like to know who gives them their probabilities. Anyway, even if this was so, the consequences will be catastrophic for protected little Australia. We are only just getting the unhappy scenario of people living in cars and under bridges common in Europe and the United States.

President Donald Trump has stated that he believes that (former) President Obama’s former national security adviser Susan Rice committed a crime when she reportedly unmasked American citizens involved with Trump’s election campaign: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/04/05/donald-trump-thinks-susan-rice-committed-crime/.

While the establishment is doing overtime to try and show that Trump is a Russian agent, #SurveillanceGate is exploding over the alternative news sites, that there was a criminal conspiracy to debunk Trump campaign officials using the state intelligence machinery to put all of these officials under surveillance, a year before the 2016 elections! Rice had a detailed spreadsheet, which she shared with Obama of all details that could be used against them. Obama then signed an order allowing 16 intelligence agencies access to this material, thus ensuring that information would be leaked to the media.

A top-ranking North Korean defector has said in an interview with Lester Holt of NBC News, that North Korea’s  dictator Kim Jong Un not only has highly effective nuclear weapons, but that he’s getting ready to use them to destroy America: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/north-korean-defector-tells-lester-holt-world-should-be-ready-n741901.

According to  NBC News:
According to Thae, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is “desperate in maintaining his rule by relying on his [development of] nuclear weapons and ICBM… Once he sees that there is any kind of sign of a tank or an imminent threat from America, then he would use his nuclear weapons with ICBM.”

I think it was Ian Wilson at this site, who put the view, that given Nick Xenophon’s opposition to changes to section 18 C, that the NXT needs to be taken down at the next election. I concur.
However, we are not the only one’s thinking about this, and from the Left, GetUp! plans to set up an Adelaide office and inflict real electoral pain on the NXT at the next election: http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/getup-launching-in-sa-to-hit-xenophon-hard/news-story/2f6950cb7dcd39a3608dc96905d9832f.

They speak of mobilising 62,210 members, which is quite incredible. An army of Leftists. It is what should have been built up by our side of politics over the decades, but was not. Anyway, it may be enough to end the NXT, which would all be for the best. The Left feel that Nick has engaged in a “corporate tax sell-out,” and who am I to disagree? Look, their home page critique of NXT made sense to me, especially after I had a few Jack Daniels’ to help me concentrate: https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/corporate-tax/xenophon-corporate-tax-betrayal/xenophon-s-24-billion-betrayal.

In London, as right across Britain and Europe, Christian churches are fast being replaced by Islamic mosques: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/04/02/gatestone-institute-423-new-mosques-500-closed-churches-london/. The Gatestone Institute (https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10124/london-mosques-churches), reports that “London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together”, according to Maulana Syed Raza Rizvi, one of the Islamic preachers who now lead “Londonistan”, as the journalist Melanie Phillips has called the English capital. No, Rizvi is not a right-wing extremist. Wole Soyinka, a Nobel Laureate for Literature, was less generous; he called the UK “a cesspit for Islamists”.

“Terrorists cannot stand London multiculturalism”, London’s mayor Sadiq Khan said after the recent deadly terror attack at Westminster. The opposite is true: British multiculturalists are feeding Islamic fundamentalism. Above all, Londonistan, with its new 423 mosques, is built on the sad ruins of English Christianity.”

Two articles for those thinking that there is not a problem, and that it is all just economics. First, from America: http://www.dailynews.com/social-affairs/20170327/north-hollywood-school-faces-cuts-because-of-rise-in-white-student-population, a North Hollywood school faces funding cuts because the number of white students have risen:
“Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood is one of nine schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District facing staff cuts and in turn larger class sizes because the percentage of nonwhite students has dipped below 70 percent.
Following a 1978 Los Angeles Superior Court-ordered integration program, LAUSD schools in neighborhoods with large minority populations get more funding when the proportion of white students is below 30 percent.
The nonwhite population at Reed Middle School has fallen below the 70 percent mark for the past two years, according to a March 22 letter sent to parents from Local District Northeast Superintendent Linda Del Cueto. The district has continued to fund the school as if it still met the 70 percent threshold of Hispanic, black, Asian and non-Anglo students. But in the fall, the school will no longer be counted as predominantly minority.”
So, if you are White, you won’t even make it to the back of the bus! Schools are for “minority-majorities, now.

Oh, we don’t have absurdities like that in Australia, do we? Well, consider the story of Tara Coverdale, discussed by journalist Miranda Devine: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/rendezview/miranda-devine-reverse-racism-is-now-acceptable-in-australia/news-story/98d895ff84f8014bb3a0a5141e24f6ac.
This story is about how a racially Nordic (Northern European) mother with blonde hair and a red-haired child, was excluded from a playgroup that was reserved for non-Anglos. The long of the short is that the Minister for Education ended up instructing the organisers to let in all families. For my purposes, which is to somehow kickstart a deracinated, detribalised and cucked people, the comments of Devine are instructive:
“ It is politically incorrect to say so, but anti-white racism is now acceptable in Australia, in the name of diversity and “celebrating difference”.
In the ADF, for instance, there are attempts to erase the “Anglo-Saxon” warrior culture, and a recent lamb advertisement stated there are “too many white people” on TV, and lined up Caucasians sneeringly labelled “white-whites, translucent whites, beige whites, red whites, and dark whites”.
Bigotry is condoned as a corrective to so-called “white privilege”.
But reinforcing separate cultural identities inevitably leads to the balkanization of Australia and the disowning of our national identity.”
Wake up, or die!

To The Australian
Deborah Lipstadt claims, in regard to the history of the Nazis, that ‘there are some facts that are not open to debate’ (‘Truth on trial in film “for our times”’, 5/4). Facts or opinions? The truth is that the film ‘Denial’ is a propaganda film and Philippa Hawker’s article is propaganda on its behalf.

As to the film itself, its bias is visually proclaimed by its choice of a screen goddess to play the dowdy Lipstadt and a male actor of unusual facial appearance which is easily made to look monstrous to play David Irving. As to the article, it is so one-sided: plenty of favourable comment on Lipstadt and the main actors, but no effort at all to report on Irving’s views of the film or the views, available online, of several critics who have exposed the film’s inaccuracies and misrepresentations.

To The Age

SECTION 18C – REPLY TO LEUNIG
No, freedom is the shield of truth, my friend.
Without it, tyranny is round the bend,
When prophets can be stoned or even worse
And only sycophants can publish verse.
To claim that freedom lovers wish to hate
Is stooping to ignoble insult, mate.
It is unworthy of your genius, I say,
And in debate a most ungenerous way.
Opponents of this law are on the ball
If there’s to be a fair go for us all.
In other nations folk are sent to jail
To prop opinions that in fact are frail.
That’s not the Aussie way, old man,
To stifle talk and most unjustly ban.

One Nation has released its firearms and gun control policy, and it’s politically sound: http://www.onenation.com.au/policies/firearms. On the bad side, the policy compromises too much with the establishment, saying that it will “maintain the general principle of the National Firearms Agreement in restricting access to high powered, high capacity firearms.” That could lead a government to further gun banning’s and control.

Nevertheless, there are many good things said though, such as recognising firearms ownership as a right by law-abiding citizens in a free society, the recognition of the right to self-defence, and the proposed abolition of the  “genuine reasons/need” test for firearm ownership. That test was just another bit of nasty gun-banning totalitarianism.

Oxford police have charged seven men: Shabir Dogar, 22; Shabaz Khan, 23; Shohab Dogar, 23; Yasin Hamid, 20; Usman Iddris, 22; and Joseph Suraina, 22, with alleged sex offences against women, including a girl under 16 years-of-age, between 2008 and 2015: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-39466980. Hussain has also been charged with the attempted sexual assault of a girl under 13, as have Shabir Dogar and Shohab Dogar.

Another 10 men were arrested in the police operation known as Operation Nautical.
Britain has had other child sex abuse cases, most notably in Rotherham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham.

I don’t know how I got onto the site, but today I was in horror, reading a Leftist environmentalist blog. I would strongly recommend that readers with a morbid desire for self-punishment have a look at the latest entries at https://carolynbaker.net/. This is a very well presented site, with highly skilled web design. But, the articles an politics, are …well… just consider…

“Useless Eaters And Ethnic Purity; The Trump/Bannon War For Biological Nationhood,” by Chris Floyd, which pushes the idea that Trump is trying to follow a Nazi agenda and create an ethnically pure state. No matter that his daughter is married to a Jewish man, and is in fact a practising  Jew herself. No, Trump wants to cut some social welfare programs (never mind that feminist icon Julia Gillard did more), and his man Stephen Bannon (spelt wrongly in one part of the article), likes French philosopher Charles Maurras, and he was a Nazi sympathiser.

Apart from the concern about nuclear-armed NATO subs being on war alert, ready for war which they hope to provoke with Russia, being puppets of power-drunk insane global elites, there is major concern about a looming fiscal crisis, primarily in the US, based on the collapse of pensions: http://www.collapse.news/2017-03-31-the-next-financial-crisis-could-be-centered-around-pensions.html.

Due to a multiple of compounding factors, such as industry job losses, a reduction in the tax base, and changing demographics, nearly one million Americans face the possible collapse of their pension plans. For example, the US state of Illinois had for its government-run pensions a $ 111 billion deficit in 2015, which is rapidly growing. It was reported in June 2016, that the Teamster’s Central States pension Fund is in financial trouble and may fall this year, wiping away the pensions of thousands of Americans.

The case of the recent London terrorist attack, has been processed by the chattering class who are proclaiming that the attack has nothing to do with immigration. They always are, because if it was otherwise they would have to accept that there were valid criticisms of immigration.

Thus, Matthew d’Ancona has written: “As we now know, the attacker, Khalid Masood, was British, born in Kent and brought up as Adrian Russell Elms. His story is one of radicalisation, the question being when and how he embraced extremist Islamist ideology: the path that led him to an act of murderous violence has nothing to do with immigration”: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/27/brexiteers-immigration-promises-unravelling.

It is no surprise that the marriage between cosmopolitans Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is over, and wedding bells are being replaced by divorce court palpitations: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/brad-pitt-cuts-slimmer-figure-10136192. He is apparently looking thinner and worried, and who would not be when facing a divorce.

From what I can gather, Pitt and Jolie had an “ironclad’ prenuptial agreement: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/brad-pitt-cuts-slimmer-figure-10136192, and Pitt’s worries are about access to the children. But many men, and a growing number of women, face the threat of losing much of their wealth from a divorce by not having a prenuptial agreement. Even family trusts, stitched up after a marriage, can in principle be undone.

The Western elites are busting their britches to have war with Russia, with British subs apparently on red nuclear alert at the moment: http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/761450/united-states-russia-china-nuclear-war-congress-report.

A taste of this desire comes from neo-con Dick Cheney, who has been trumpeting that Russian interference in the US election is an “act of war”: http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/dick-cheney-russian-election-interference-could-be-seen-act-war-n739391.

Imagine my surprise when conducting the in-depth research that extreme right wingers know, love and expect from yours truly Uncle Len, I came across: http://www3.forbes.com/business/the-worlds-most-powerful-people-2016/21/.

Predictably the list was of leading US, Russian, European political leaders, with a few bankers thrown in for good measure. We all know the names, but the ones who really rule, were not there. You know, those who regularly meet around a pentagram shaped table with Satan, Prince of Darkness, to give him orders.
I am glad that I live in a world where I am not on any such list. Poor in body, but mighty free in spirit. Remember the old rhythm: two men looked out through the same bars; one sees mud, the other the stars. (Frederick Langridge, 1896)

The pollies work out the best way of deceiving us over reforms to section 18 C, so that it is not weakened and faithfully serves the ethnic/multicult elite. But, Anne Aly, Australia’s first female Muslim MP, believes that that race discrimination laws should be expanded to cover insults based on religion as well, so that tougher speech laws will make it illegal to offend Muslims because of their religion: https://wentworthreport.com/2017/03/31/australian-mp-wants-to-make-it-illegal-to-cause-religious-offence-to-muslims/; https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/03/australia-muslim-mp-wants-to-make-offending-muslims-a-criminal-offense; https://heatst.com/world/australian-mp-wants-to-make-it-illegal-to-cause-religious-offence-to-muslims/.

Victoria and now the ACT have religious vilification laws, suppressing free speech in exactly the same way section 18 C does.
