Do you get annoyed during movies when the hero, or villain, does the Hollywood speech, looks to the camera, thus allowing the opponent to get the drop on him? It is called entertainment, and plot armour, but in real life we would call it “suicidal telegraphing.” In boxing, beginning an attack with a long wind up circular punch gives the game away. It happens in politics too, with often disastrous results:

“Bechir Rabani infiltrated Antifa and threatened to expose Soros before he died Bechir Rabani vowed to expose George Soros before he died an investigative journalist, who went undercover to infiltrate violent leftist groups such as Antifa, has been found dead shortly after he vowed to expose billionaire globalist, George Soros.33-year-old Bechir Rabani was a hugely popular Swedish independent reporter, well known for his daring exposés. He was found dead at his home on Friday night in “suspicious circumstances” according to Police. He was working on an investigation into radical leftist mainstream journalist Robert Aschberg and his connection to George Soros funded extremist organizations when he was killed. Shortly before he died, Rabani had revealed he was about to lift the lid on mass corruption that linked Soros and Aschberg.Culture Wars reports: Bechir Rabani gained popularity when he tried to confront Expressen’s (left wing newspaper) editor in chief Thomas Mattson and journalist Diamant Salihu in their homes in Stockholm.”

To The Melbourne Anglican          I was disappointed to learn that the beautiful chapel of my old school, Melbourne Grammar, has been used or, as I believe, misused for a 'Shoah Memorial Service' (TMA May). 'Holocaust remembrance' can be characterized as a secular propaganda movement whose core tenets are strongly disputed by a significant number of intelligent and responsible historical revisionists, some of whom are currently persecuted in a most disgraceful manner. That such a commemoration is 'Christian' can be reasonably disputed. This concern that a holy place is being utilized wrongly for partisan political purposes is strengthened by the report that a student spoke at the event about 'the dispossession Indigenous people in Australia experienced when white people came here'. Such a speech can readily be viewed as part of an ongoing campaign to unjustifiably de-authorize our nation. Christians are indeed wise to heed biblical injunctions to remember God and his commandments and also to remember their own shortcomings. However, they cannot ethically claim to atone for the alleged sins of others. In the present case 'remembrance' appears to be, really, the promotion of 'politically correct' and worldly ideology.

To The Australian          The sustained campaign to persuade the government to resile from its sensible rejection of the recommendations of the Uluru Statement from the Heart ("Turnbull out of touch with post-Mabo reality, says Chaney", 5/6) is intensifying. After Noel Pearson's proposed "declaration" with its grossly biased account of Australian history and political realities, we now have a personal attack on the prime minister which raises the question: "Just what really is 'post-Mabo reality'?" One answer can be seen in Kevin Donnelly's defence of free speech in our universities and its importance in calling out the campaign "to ensure generations of Australians feel guilty about an event beyond their control and to ensure continued funding for an indigenous industry dependent on taxpayers" ("Gender activists have a curious love of big brother", 5/6). Some universities are making it harder to defend "established social norms" in public discussion of "indigenous land rights". Fred Chaney clearly believes that "post-Mabo reality" is a step in the right direction. Perhaps the reverse is true and a new wound has been opened in the body politic.

     Famine has haunted humans for most of their history. In the days of the Pharaohs, whenever the Nile River failed to flood, Egypt starved. Joseph was called in and he organised stockpiling of grain for famine relief. Even mighty Rome suffered famines – in 436 BC thousands of starving people threw themselves into the Tiber. The cold Middle Ages in Europe were haunted by famines. In the 11th and 12th century, famines averaged one in 14 years. Even in England there were 22 recorded famines in the 13th century. In 1235, 20,000 people died in London and people ate horse flesh, bark and grass. There were great famines in India, Bengal, France, China and Russia.

     In more recent times, man-made famines were more common in the Comrade Societies – some wit once remarked that “Soviet agriculture has just suffered its 23rd consecutive year of unseasonal weather”. Some famines were deliberate policy such as Stalin’s liquidation of the Kulaks in 1918 and his starvation of Ukraine in the 1932-33, while other dictators like Mao in China and Pol Pot in Cambodia caused famine with destructive collectivist farm policies. Famines eased in Europe and North America from about 1860, partly because crops improved with warmer weather and also because of the great increases in land opened up in the Americas for farming and grazing.

To The Australian          The proposed new Independent Office for Aboriginal People ('Echoes of Uluru as nascent office hailed for voice to parliament', 7/6) is plainly another step in the ongoing plan to divide this continent into two nations. Those behind this campaign know that in any fairly phrased referendum the vast majority of Australians would oppose such a separation. Thus an approach of 'Fabian gradualism' is being employed. WA Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ben Wyatt ignores the great achievements of British Australia in the pioneering era of our national history and slanderously sums them up as motivated by 'colonial racist and supremacist values'. There is every justification for most Australians to be deeply fearful about the more-or-less open destruction of our great Constitution that is happening. If only public opposition could become 'relentless', for continuing apathy will lead to disaster!
  Nigel Jackson, Belgrave, Vic

To The Age          Greens MP Lidia Thorpe is simply wrong in claiming that Aboriginal people still own Victoria ('Aboriginal treaty must go further: Greens MP', 7/6). Sovereignty of the state has long been vested in Her Majesty the Queen of Australia. The only correct way to change that situation would be by a properly conducted referendum as stipulated by our Constitution. Radical agitators know that no such referendum would give them the result they want, so they are trying all sorts of spurious efforts of de-authorization of our nation, its history and government. Some states claiming without a thread of legal justification to have the right to enact treaties with 'the Aboriginal people' (a community not easily defined) is one such strategy. The Victorian state opposition is right that the making of treaties is a prerogative of the federal government.

     Few of us read/speak Italian, and the news from Italy is highly filtered, but basically the EU New World Order elites have come down on the populist elected government because the elites want endless immigration as part of their program to demographically displace white Europeans. Here, though, is the mainstream story, with the line that reveals all: “The Establishment Strikes Back”:

“The leaders of Italy’s two main populist parties appeared to be throwing down a gauntlet at Europe last week, forming an anti-establishment government that they imagined would act on their staunchly anti-Brussels agenda. But on Sunday, Italian President Sergio Mattarella picked that gauntlet up and delivered his own challenge. Mattarella, who holds rarely used veto power over cabinet ministers, blocked the appointment of 81-year-old Paolo Savona as finance minister, citing Savona’s long-held opposition to the euro. Neither of the two parties forming Italy’s coalition government — the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the ultranationalist League — had campaigned on exiting the single currency, and Mattarella suggested he was acting in the country’s interests by vetoing Savona.

     Just in case you Aussies are wondering about the mechanics of how a society breaks down and rots, here is a weekend in Chicago. I lived there long ago, but now I wouldn’t even want to visit the place under armed guard in a tank:

“Saturday
8:22PM — “Mayhem,” says the downtown police dispatcher, taking a few brief seconds to summarize what she and Chicago cops are dealing with.

     Isn’t it amazing, incredible in fact, that we are having a literal explosion of these gender identity issues now? We may believe that these are socially constructed by media attention, but while the social construction explanation is used by the Left for everything else, such as race issues, which don’t exist being social constructions, unless it can somehow be used against primarily Northern European whites, for gender identity, that is definitely real and not a social construction.
  https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6306769/2356-children-including-kids-age-4-are-seeking-help-for-gender-issues/

“A RECORD 2,356 children including some as young as four are seeking medical help for gender issues. The number referred by GPs last year has more than tripled from 673 in 2014/15. They were assigned to The Tavistock Centre in North London, the UK’s only facility for such issues in under-18s. Official NHS figures show most cases involve 15 and 16-year-olds. But 329 patients were under 13. Reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner raised awareness after transitioning in 2015. Clinic director Dr Polly Carmichael said: “There is no single explanation for the rise. There has been significant progress towards the acceptance and recognition of transgender and gender-diverse people.”

     With the continuous flood of events, represented in news articles coming from Britain depicting the rise of multicultural fascism, it is surely time to declare that Britain has ceased to be part of the West. It has abandoned all of the traditions of liberal democracy that originally made it Western, and now it is beginning its transition to a new type of mutant multicultural entity, which we know not what. The tale of the headlines well shows that Britain has long gone:

     Societies have collapsed from less than this. Surely, the evidence is in that Britain, and many other European countries, are rotten in their moral core and will not survive. Australian monarchists perhaps should start mediating upon this, if they don’t yet see the writing in blood upon the wall of history.

     Shucks, if this guy does not know about financial crisis and the collapse of economies after years of raiding, then no-one knows:

“In a speech delivered Tuesday in Paris, billionaire investor George Soros warned that the world could be on the brink of another devastating financial crisis, as debt crises re-emerge in Europe and a strengthening dollar pressures both the US’s emerging- and developed-market rivals. And Europe, with Italy dragging worries about the possible dissolution of the euro back to the forefront, won’t be far behind. Political pressures like the dissolution of its transatlantic alliance with the US will eventually translate into economic harm. Presently, Europe is facing three pressing problems: The refugee crisis, the austerity policy that has hindered Europe’s economic development, and territorial disintegration - not only Brexit, but the threat that countries like Italy might follow suit...”

     Another crazy tem from the island of the multicult absurd. With an explosion of knife crime in multicultural Britain, the authorities are going after the real cause of the problem sharp: pointy knives!

“A judge has proposed a nationwide programme to file down the points of kitchen knives as a solution to the country’s soaring knife crime epidemic. Last week in his valedictory address, retiring Luton Crown Court Judge Nic Madge spoke of his concern that carrying a knife had become routine in some circles and called on the Government to ban the sale of large pointed kitchen knives. Latest figures show stabbing deaths among teenagers and young adults have reached the highest level for eight years, and knife crime overall rose 22 per cent in 2017”

     If readers are weary of  the style of reporting by some of us, which looks at overseas events, and draws links to Australia, which is still a bit behind the curve of destruction, then consider Andrew Bolt’s take on white flight in Sydney, a place which is set to resemble many of the cities in Europe and the US. It is just a matter of time, because the same immigration and multicult policies are in place in all of these places:

     As one person on the blog comments: “The saddest part is soon we will have no-where left to go.  Our leaders have literally handed our country over to foreigners, and an apathetic and nihilistic public has allowed it to happen.  My grandchildren will be born a minority in their own country.  Well done Australia.”

     In my unprofessional opinion, the answer would be: yes:

“The number of college students labelled with depression, anxiety, and other psychological problems is increasing, leading colleges and universities to provider a greater number of special accommodations for them. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, as many as 25 percent of students enrolled in elite colleges are now classified as depressed, anxious, attention-impaired, and other labels that, under federal law, entitle them to special learning accommodations. Some students are labeled with more than one disability. A simple note from a doctor allows a student to be classified as “disabled” and requires a school to provide the accommodations that correspond to his or her “disability.”

     North Korea is the poster child for the Left, including embodying the atheist ideal:

“The U.S. State Department affirms in its annual International Religious Freedom Report, published Tuesday, that the communist regime controlling North Korea “considered Christianity a serious threat, as it challenged the official cult of personality and provided a platform for social and political organization and interaction outside the government.” The State Department – citing United Nations reports, NGOs, and media organizations specializing in North Korea coverage – found that Kim Jong-un’s regime regularly employed “arbitrary executions, political prison camps, and torture amounting to crimes against humanity” against anyone suspected of adhering to any faith, but targeted Christians in particular throughout 2017. Various reports estimated “119 killings and 87 disappearances” based on religious persecution, the report notes. It also cites multiple advocacy groups that have concluded that North Korea hosts a population of up to 400,000 Christians, though it is nearly impossible to confirm those numbers, and that between 10-45 percent of Christians are languishing in the nation’s concentration camps.

     Here is another piece of libtard lunacy from the US; only men should go to prison because … well … I don’t know:

“This month marks ten years since the death of Pauline Campbell. Pauline became a formidable campaigner exposing the harm inflicted on women within the prison system. This followed the death of her 18-year-old daughter in Styal prison in 2003. It was campaigning by Pauline Campbell, bereaved families and Inquest around the sharp rise in deaths across the women’s estate, and in particular deaths at Styal in the early 2000s, that persuaded the then Labour government to commission Baroness Jean Corston to conduct an independent review of women in the criminal justice system. Corston’s ground-breaking report, published in March 2007, offered a blueprint for change. The review recommended the dismantling of the women’s prison estate, the introduction of small custodial units and an expansion of gender-specific support in the community, through a network of women’s centres. It was expected that the use of imprisonment for women could be reduced to an ‘absolute minimum’ and was hoped that women’s imprisonment could be almost entirely phased out.

     Liberals, fanatic followers of the manic cult of political correctness, went into a feeding frenzy when photographs, allegedly of  illegal migrant children were posted on the net. Oh my god, little illegals separated from their parents! But, then all of the hate Tweets directed against President Trump were deleted when it was pointed out that the photographs were taken in 2014, under the regime of magic prezzy Obama. No, the libtards did not say; no, this is bad, and it was bad that Obama allowed this. If they had any honesty or consistency, that is what they would have done. Instead, they showed their true red colours by simply going into damage control.
The usual suspects were involved, including Hollywood wankers, who lack the courage of their alleged convictions. We should not be surprised, since acting is a rather false profession, making money out of pretending to be someone one is not. If I am still permitted to hate, then I hate actors intensely.

To The Age          There may be 'a growing push to acknowledge indigenous history' ('Indigenous recognition push', 1/6), but there is also a growing public awareness that indigenous issues are being over-promoted to the detriment of national unity and the principle of equity. Public authorities should not allow the 'vandalism' of our historical monuments, motivated by 'anti-colonization sentiment', to stampede them into undue 'recognition' of indigenous resistance that occurred many generations ago. Such vandalism is neither honourable nor intelligent and should be regarded with contempt.

To The Australian          Elliot Hannay ignores the really important intellectual opposition to the Mabo decision ('The KKK dropped by to tell me Eddie Mabo was evil', 1/6) in favour of vague references to unnamed KKK supporters, 'bigots' and 'racists'. In 1982 Geoff McDonald, a former communist, published his book Red Over Black, in which he detailed from first-hand experience how communists had been working for decades to exploit aboriginals as part of a long-term programme to socialize our nation. A decade later S.E.K. Hulme, AM, QC, argued in an essay that the Mabo judgment was tainted, that it departed unacceptably far from the letter of the Constitution and that the High Court's decision may even have amounted to corruption of the law. Why does Hannay not address these powerful arguments brought forward by authors who had no fear, like those alleged KKK members, of openly attaching their names to patriotic writings? Maybe they are too difficult to refute and perhaps Mabo Day is not such a good idea after all.

     Here is the standard European rape story, but I note the historical irony in it:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/27/attack-english-village-alley-rape/

“Police have launched a manhunt for an ‘Asian’ man after a teenager in a small Buckinghamshire village was raped in an alleyway. The victim was standing in an alleyway in Hazlemere, an English village known to date back more than 800 years, at around 8 p.m. on March 15th when a stranger grabbed her and proceeded to rape her, police said. Appealing for information from the public on Friday, Thames Valley Police released an e-fit of the attacker, described as “an Asian man, around thirty to forty-year-old, short and of large build, with a tattoo on his forearm.” Investigating officer Detective Constable David Mitchell of Force CID based at High Wycombe said: “We have been conducting a thorough investigation into this horrific offence and the victim is being supported by specially trained officers.”
