There is a new book by an academic philosopher giving a defence of the value of honour: Tamler Sommers, Why Honor Matters, (Basic Books, New York, 2018):

  https://www.counter-currents.com/2018/06/a-very-honorable-man/

     The core argument, which runs contrary to what little treatment has been given to this topic by analytic style philosophers – not to ignore the worthy history of ideas treatment delivered by Harvey Mansfield in Manliness, (Yale University press, New haven, 2007): is simply, that honour matters, and has a place in the moral society, even today.

     Sit back, have a cup of tea, maybe a slice of sultana cake, with a big slab of butter on it, and relax. It has been a hard day, so gentle reflection on the joys of multicultural Britain is sure to relax you. Pay attention to the beautiful photographs:

     I live in SE Queensland. Yesterday the surface air temperature rose from a frosty 2ºC at sunrise to a balmy 22ºC in mid-afternoon. The enormous heat needed to achieve this 20ºC of warming came via radiation from the sun. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere plays no significant part in this daily heating event – in fact it may intercept a tiny proportion of the incoming solar radiation and re-radiate it in all directions, thus keeping the daytime surface temperature a tiny bit cooler than it would have been otherwise.

     At the deep Mount Isa Mine in NW Queensland, the surface temperature may average about 25ºC but it increases by about 1ºC every 50 metres of depth – rock walls are red hot in places. The enormous heat causing this comes via conduction from Earth’s geothermal heat plus some oxidation and heating of the sulphide ores as they come in contact with natural air containing oxygen. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere plays no part in this heating.

     Do we ever get any good news anymore? Certainly if I had some I would share it, just like if I had a packet of boiled sweets, I would give you one, being extraordinarily generous.  But, alas, there goes Tasmania:

“A proposed mega-development on Tasmania’s east coast has prompted concerns about fast-tracked development and foreign investment in the island state. The Cambria Green proposal was announced to the public in late April, four days before a local council meeting which voted to progress an application to create a special development zone that could house 550 accommodation units and hotel rooms, two golf courses, and an 80-bed health spa that could one day be used as a palliative care unit. The proponent, Cambria Green Agricultural Tourism Management, helmed by Shandong businessman Liu Kejing and Melbourne-based Ronald Hu, says on its Facebook page — it does not have a website — that it wants to “bring the surrounding community along our long-term journey” to support the “integrated, eco-tourism development”.

     For anyone who does not believe that conspiracies exist, and hold still to what Eric Butler called the “idiot theory of history,” that things just happen, consider the now enormous evidence that the FBI worked overtime to try to prevent Donald Trump becoming president. The entire organisation is corrupt and is a swamp that Trump needs to immediately drain, or if you hate split infinitives, drain immediately:
  https://gellerreport.com/2018/06/fbi-treason.html/

“Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, in a comprehensive and at-times scathing report on the handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, exposed extraordinary text messages by a top FBI official vowing to “stop” Donald Trump — while calling then-director James Comey’s actions in the case “insubordinate.” The long-awaited report was released Thursday afternoon, spanning nearly 600 pages and scrutinizing the actions of numerous figures who played a key role in the Justice Department and FBI’s investigation. It is the product of an 18-month review, incorporating dozens of witness interviews and hundreds of thousands of documents. But one of the most stunning findings concerns texts between agent Peter Strzok and bureau colleague Lisa Page. According to the report, Page texted Strzok in August 2016 and said: “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok responded.  Strzok was a lead investigator on the Clinton case and later worked the Russia investigation before being removed from that assignment.”

     You do not hear much about the issues of evolution and God nowadays from Christians. This could be because Christians have learnt their lesson to keep real quiet and maybe scientists like Richard Dawkins will go quiet and leave them in peace, so the Church can go about its contemporary mission to recruit migrants to put bums on seats. However, time to time one comes across articles raising issues Christians should be squawking about, but who generally lack the courage, intellect, and education, to address. How about the question of the origin of sex, which seems to defy the natural selection of random genetic mutations mechanism:
  http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/15/evolutionists-defend-their-own-creation-story/

“Why is evolutionary sex so threatening that it dare not even be mentioned in textbooks or science classes? Given the unique nature of gendered, sexual meiosis compared with non-gendered, asexual mitosis, the first-ever generation of sexual reproduction would have required 1) a never-before-seen male organism and a novel female organism, 2) magically having compatible chromosomes, and 3) a death-defying process of precisely halving their chromosomes, mixing them together in a revolutionary way, and then recombining to produce, not a clone (as in asexual replication), but a unique offspring unlike any on the planet. Not to mention the minor details of geographic proximity and an evolved instinct to mate—all absolutely required in round one of sex to get the sexual ball rolling.

“Italy’s new hardline interior minister Matteo Salvini will be in Sicily Sunday to push the anti-immigration platform that propelled him to power at one of the country’s main landing points for refugees. The head of the far-right League is on the road seeking to rally support for his party’s candidates in municipal elections later this month, as part of a broader effort to boost the traditionally secessionist party’s profile in the country’s poorer south. But immigration is Salvini’s primary bugbear and the newly minted deputy prime minister in Italy’s populist coalition government has added a stop in migration hotspot Pozzallo.

     Venezuela gives us an image of what social collapse is going to be like, only the vast multicult, multiracial empires of the West will hit the dust even harder. We have been warned many times by numerous prophets, but most people only listen to those who make the “profits”:

“Perhaps it would help the leftists see the light if they knew that doctors, engineers, oil workers, teachers and electricians were all fleeing the failed socialist nation of Venezuela before the entire society crumbles like a house of cards. So far, in 2018, a total of 48,000 teachers (which is a number equivalent to 12 percent of all primary and high school staff nationwide) have quit their jobs and are now seeking an escape from the long food lines and empty shelves at the grocery stores. Some of these educators include Aquiles Nazoa (who fled to Chile one year ago), Reinaldo Cordero (leaving behind his class and his $29 USD per month salary), Esperanza Longhi (who is currently in the process of fleeing to Peru), and Principal Deliana Flores.

     Britain seems to be leading the race to national suicide, slightly ahead of Sweden and Germany, but things could change at any moment, because the entire resources of these societies are now devoted to destroying any trace of traditional existence:
  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5842633/Doctors-nurses-outside-EU-given-visas-boost-NHS.html

“Sajid Javid is planning a major relaxation of immigration laws before Brexit and will ease a cap on foreign medics working in the UK to allow the NHS to recruit more staff. The new Home Secretary will remove doctors and nurses from the annual 20,700 ‘tier 2’ visa limit on non-EU workers. Other employers will be able to recruit an extra 8,000 skilled migrants a year, including IT experts, engineers and teachers, effectively raising the cap by 40 per cent. Mr Javid is expected to announce tomorrow that health workers from outside the EU will be exempt from the ‘tier 2’ visa cap to help the NHS fill staff shortages. Businesses will also be given a higher allocation, according to The Daily Telegraph. The move marks Mr Javid’s first major intervention on migration policy and a significant softening of the Government’s position on non-EU migration since Theresa May became Home Secretary in 2010. But sources made clear that there are no plans to drop Mrs May’s target for bringing net annual immigration below 100,000.”

     As the mainstream media tells us, those critical of vaccinations are all tin foil hat cranks. But, really?
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-06-14-new-study-proves-the-undeniable-connection-between-vaccination-and-autism-rates.html

“How much longer can those who profit from vaccines deny the connection between autism rates and vaccination? With incriminating evidence like the latest report from the Public Health Agency of Canada, their damage control experts will certainly have their work cut out for them. The agency is about to release its first national autism-related data since 2016, and it shows a steady rise in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in the years since 2003. The rates varied by location, with areas like Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Newfound and Labrador having the highest prevalence. The story becomes a lot more interesting, however, when you compare the data in the report, which was taken from the Canadian National Autism Spectrum Surveillance System, with the Public Health Agency’s vaccine coverage data, which is broken down by province and vaccine type. It shows that autism prevalence is the greatest where the vaccine rates happen to be the highest. Surprised?

    Here is the usual rhetoric of the Left; the global warming crisis, and migrants are right at the top of the list, but spiritual matters, what his day job should be, go way down the list. It is just about being a cool kid with the other globalist elites, showing that he is doing his bit to create the New Age religion of the New World Order.

     I only guessed that this was true following the folk wisdom of “gut feelings,” but your intestines have an intelligence all of their own, known as the enteric nervous system, and it may have evolved in animals before the central nervous system, assuming that evolution really did occur:
  https://www.livescience.com/62683-colon-brain-neuron-firing-pattern-detected.html?utm_source=ls-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20180531-ls

“The enteric nervous system (ENS) contains millions of neurons essential for organization of behavior of the intestine,” wrote the team of researchers from Australia who observed the so-called second brain hard at work using a combination of high-precision neuronal imaging techniques. When the researchers stimulated isolated mouse colons with mild electric shocks, they saw “a novel pattern of rhythmic coordinated neuronal firing” that corresponded directly to muscle movements in nearby sections of the large intestine. These rhythmic, synchronized blasts of neuron activity likely help to stimulate specific sections of intestinal muscles at a standard rate, the researchers wrote. This ensures that colonic muscle contractions — also known as “colonic migrating motor complexes” — keep fecal matter moving in the right direction (out of the body, that is), and at a steady pace. “This revealed that activity in the ENS can temporally coordinate [muscle] activity over significant distances along the length of [the] colon,” the team wrote. According to the researchers, similar synchronized neuron routines are also common in the early stages of brain development. This could mean that the pattern they identified in the colon is a “primordial property” held over from the early stages of the enteric nervous system’s evolution.”

     The elites want it to happen, and have been working tireless on it for centuries, while of course, making handsome profits; destroy the West and replace it by Asia, a place, and race that they are more comfortable with:
  https://russia-insider.com/en/politics/singapore-astana-and-st-petersburg-all-mean-same-thing-new-world-order-coming/ri23763

“The Astana Economic Forum in Kazakhstan centered on how mega-partnerships are changing world trade. Participants included the president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Jin Liqun; Andrew Belyaninov from the Eurasian Development Bank; former Italian Prime Minister and president of the EU Commission Romano Prodi; deputy director-general of the WTO Alan Wolff; and Glenn Diesen from the University of Western Sydney. Diesen, a Norwegian who studied in Holland and teaches in Australia, is the author of a must-read book, Russia’s Geoeconomic Strategy for a Greater Eurasia, in which he analyzes in excruciating detail how Moscow is planning “to manage the continent from the heartland by enhancing collective autonomy and influence, and thus evict US hegemony directed from the periphery.” In parallel, as Diesen argues, Moscow aims “to ensure the sustainability of an integrated Eurasia by establishing a balance of power or ‘balance of dependence’ to prevent the continent from being dominated by one power, with China being the most plausible candidate.”

     The anti-gun movement has attempted to group together all matter of Left wing groups to beef its support. The gay community in America is one group sought, but many gays are rejecting the low-hanging fruit line of ban guns, and are advocating that the LGBTI (not sure what that means) folk arm themselves and deal with their own protection:

“I DON’T want to get beaten to death, stabbed and burnt alive,” a slight woman with long blond hair and a checked shirt says. “I want a gun to feel equal.” She is a member of one of the United States’ fastest growing gun clubs, the jauntily named Pink Pistols. Two years after the massacre at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, gay, lesbian and transgender Americans are nervous. According to the Human Rights Centre (HRC), a US LGBTI advocacy group, 52 gay people were murdered in the US last year, because of their sexuality, and 28 transgender people met the same fate. In increasing numbers, they are fighting back by taking up arms.”

     According to the Left, we, meaning whites of Northern European descent, must love the world, and hate only the racists, which is anybody disagreeing with them, and these people can be freely bashed to death by antifa, and the system will reward the young cubs, by giving them plush jobs after uni.

     This is the endpoint of British history, what all of those wars, fighting, great literature and science have come to: an endgame. The complete politically correct society, eager to erase everything from its past and start fresh. Thus, pay for a transgender killer to have a sex change, because that follows the policy of pc:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/06/12/uk-taxpayer-spend-20000-transgender-killers-sex-change/

“The UK taxpayer will pay around £20,000 so a transgender murderer, accused of having sex with women in female prisons, can be flown hundreds of miles for a surgical sex change. Paris Green was born Peter Laing but began “identifying” as a female in 2011, before being jailed for life in 2013 for killing and torturing Robert Shankland. The victim was lured to a flat before being beaten so badly footprints were left on his neck, having a plastic bag forced over his head, and being sexually assaulted with a rolling pin. Despite the nature of her crimes, and retaining male biology, the killer began her sentence of at least 18 years at Cornton Vale women’s jail in Stirling, Scotland, but was moved after reports she was having sex with female prisoners in a cell. She will now have the sex change after being transported from her cell at HMP Edinburgh to a hospital in Southern England under constant guard, the Daily Record reports. However, Mr. Shankland’s family reacted angrily, insisting she should not be getting the operation on the National Health Service (NHS) because “it’s not lifesaving treatment”.

“Former Evergreen State College Professor Bret Weinstein argued that social justice activists behave like cultists in a testimony before Congress last week. No campus protest has caught the media’s attention quite like the spring 2017 protests at Evergreen State College. The saga, which centered around progressive biology Professor Bret Weinstein, involved student protesters roaming campus with baseball bats, an intentional disarming of campus police, and the university president being held hostage by students. And what sparked this? Weinstein’s polite disapproval of an activism event that Bari Weiss of the New York Times called “a day of racial segregation.” This is how Weinstein described the “Day of Absence” in a column for the Wall Street Journal.
