After the school shootings in the US, the globalist gun banning tribe have been squawking about how Australia is free from the US “disease” because of Johnny Howard’s gun ban. But, a little more research dispels the myth that Australia has avoided massacres. What has changed is only the weapons used, and of course the methodology, used to define and record such “massacres.” Drug-related shooting where there are less that four victims killed or wounded are not counted, thus keeping the statistic tidy. Put in such drug and gangland killings and wounding, and so-called gun free Australia starts to look like the US in certain regions. Parts of Sydney are warzones already:

     There have been massacres to match recent US shootings, only involving other weapons, such as   the Cairns child massacre, where 8 children were killed with a knife, the Quaker Hill Nursing home arson in Australia that killed 14 and the Lin killings in which the assailant used a  hammer to kill 5 people:

     Each week, at least one of us rages against our cancerous financial system. For a change, here is a Russian saying it as only a Russian can, so join me in having a vodka with lemon:

“Any country that does not have full control of its own financial affairs is not truly sovereign. No matter how well intentioned or patriotic its leaders may be, it will always have to operate within the artificially strict confines of current economic theories and the dominance of the international financial system. The international financial system (or, more correctly, the international banking system) may or may not be run by deliberately evil people but the top of this structure is dominated by a disdain for nationhood and thus also a disdain for community and family, a peoples’ heritage and personal freedom. No matter how noble its propaganda may sound the appalling and destructive drive for any sort of “world order” always will create “disorder” and harm. Such a highly centralized and powerful structure cannot be anything other than a war against reality and the ordinary human spirit.

     The mass grooming and raping of British children seems to be merely a part of the rape of Europe, with a similar event happening in the Netherlands:
  https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/05/the-netherlands-1400-underage-dutch-girls-forced-into-sex-slavery-by-migrant-background-males
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/22/underage-dutch-sex-slavery-foreign-pimps/

“Every year more than one thousand underage Dutch girls are groomed and then blackmailed into sex slavery by young pimps with migrant backgrounds, an investigation has revealed. With gifts, drink, and drugs, so-called ‘loverboys’ will seduce a girl into agreeing to become his sex partner before taking pictures or video footage of the encounter which will then be used as leverage to force her into prostitution, Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reports. “These men are mostly Moroccans, Turks, Caribbeans, and Roma. The lion’s share of them have a migrant background,” said Gideon van Aartsen from Watch Nederland, an initiative which coordinates with the nation’s police on efforts to fight child sexual exploitation (CSE).

     My grand pop told me to judge a man by his handshake. Men with soft effeminate hands, beware! But, now research is indicating that there is so much more to grip strength:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-05-24-your-handshake-may-be-a-good-indicator-of-how-healthy-your-brain-is.html

“A hand grip may be a normal, everyday thing for men and women alike but a recent study showed that the strength of a handshake can indicate a person’s brain health. Using the data of 475,397 people from the general population in the U.K., and 1,162 participants who were diagnosed with schizophrenia, researchers discovered that grip strength is connected to the performance of the visual memory and reaction time of a person. This study has been proven in two groups where one has participants over 55 years old and the other has participants younger than 55. Aside from visual memory and reaction time, tests conducted during the research also included examinations for reasoning, prospective memory and number memory.

     Germany sure knows how to solve a problem: train migrants as truck drivers! Perhaps then, train migrants as train drivers, and then drive migrants by train. Train migrants to train train drivers who train truck drivers! I give up; I can’t use the word “train” in any more senses, no matter how much I train, without tripping over my pen/key board.
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/23/germany-asylum-seekers-should-be-trained-truck-drivers/

“A pilot project in Germany is working to make it easier for asylum seekers to become truck drivers – an initiative that comes amid widespread unemployment for migrants who arrived during the migrant crisis. The German Red Cross and the Logistics Organisation want to alleviate the shortage of drivers in the state of Schleswig-Holstein with targetted recruiting of asylum seekers, in moves that have been praised as “imaginative and praiseworthy” by regional Economics Minister Bernd Buchholz, reports Kieler Nachrichten. A similar nation-wide programme of hiring asylum seekers and refugees as truck drivers was pushed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel after she opened Europe’s borders to over one million Middle Eastern and African migrants in 2015, the vast majority of whom are unskilled.”

     The destruction of English is another excellent reason for closing down the universities and confiscating the super of academics, then requiring them to do mandatory road work with picks and shovels:
  http://collapse.news/2018-05-18-english-language-is-collapsing-into-idiocracy-gobbledygook-on-liberal-colleges-gender-pronoun-lunacy.html

“The first known college to do so, the City University of New York (CUNY) – Guttmana, located in New York City, recently distributed and has been actively propagating a “Gender Identity and Pronouns” manifesto that instructs students and faculty on how to further bastardize the English language by replacing its traditional gender pronouns with completely made-up ones that reflect a litany of modern-day “gender identities.” The official school-sanctioned document openly declares that individuals “choose their own gender identities,” meaning they’re no longer assigned based on biological sex. Consequently, it’s now the responsibility of every normal person in the world to probe which ones are “appropriate” to use when addressing others who choose to be gender “neutral,” or who “reject the gender binary.”

     The term “dhimmitude” refers to the existence of non-Muslims living under an Islamic system, as Germany and much of Europe is fast becoming:
  https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Dhimmitude_(definition) 
  https://www.amazon.com.au/Strange-Death-Europe-Immigration-Identity/dp/1472942248

     Part of the alleged dhimmitude social contract, that the Left think exists, is that if they defend Islam, they will get cool positions in the new regime. Hence the following;

     It is good to see a wee bit of good news in this time of the dark days of the rule of Mordor. Thus, in Italy:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/21/new-italian-government-eurosceptic-anti-mass-migration-coalition-agreed/

“Coalition partner party leaders will go to the Quirinal Palace Monday evening to meet with Sergio Mattarella, the Italian President, to officially form a populist, Eurosceptic government which has prompted panicked headlines across the continent. The emergence of the League (‘La Lega’, northern Italy, tax-reforming, anti-mass migration) and Five Star (southern Italy, anti-establishment) coalition follows months of hard-fought negotiations since the national elections in early March.

     America is slowly dying and I see it here every day in my home city of Tallahassee, Florida. I cannot imagine what it would be like living in a city such as Baltimore, which is essentially a warzone. Yet, leaving crime to one side, it is economic decline, contrary to Trump, which is evident, everywhere:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-21/when-43-americans-cant-pay-food-and-rent-we-can-safely-say-economic-collapse-here
  https://www.theorganicprepper.com/americans-rent-food-economic-collapse/

“You know all those reports about how lots of Americans can’t afford a $1000 surprise expense like a medical bill or a car repair? Well, forget additional expenses. It turns out that nearly half of the families in America are struggling to pay for food and rent. And that means that the economic collapse isn’t just “coming.” It’s HERE. United Way has done a study on a group of Americans they call ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. The study found that this group does not make the money needed “to survive in the modern economy.” ALICE is your child care worker, your parent on Social Security, the cashier at your supermarket, the gas attendant, the salesperson at your big box store, your waitress, a home health aide, an office clerk. ALICE cannot always pay the bills, has little or nothing in savings, and is forced to make tough choices such as deciding between quality child care or paying the rent. One unexpected car repair or medical bill can push these financially strapped families over the edge.

To The Australian          University courses in the history of Western European civilization and culture, as proposed by the Ramsay Centre, certainly deserve to be included in our tertiary institutions' programmes, both because the core material is fundamentally sound and because there has developed an imbalance within universities favouring hostile analysis of our tradition and its gifts ('Embrace rich Western heritage', 24/5). However, these proposed new courses must ensure that that hostile analysis itself is fairly examined and, where correct, admitted to be so. The cultural richness of other sacred traditions and their civilisations should also be appropriately acknowledged in the new syllabi. What is to be avoided is the replacing of one ideologically driven propaganda drive with another.

     There is a new TV show from YouTube Red, Cobra Kai:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rB36UGoP4Y

     This continues the story of The Karate Kid (1984). The original movie has typical cultural war stuff with the new ethnic kid in town, allegedly being bullied by the local blonde karate dudes. Ethnic kid gets trained by a magical Asian sorcerer and in a few weeks is a karate champion, who wins the major tournament, defeating the villain blonde Johnny. For anyone who has seen the movie, here is a parody from YouTube which puts the case for Johnny, and is absolutely hilarious, as well as being well-argued too:

     Contrary to all the textbooks pushed in social sciences courses to brainwash the young at universities, multiculturalism is not about ethnic diversity within the existing liberal-democratic framework. Multiculturalism, after mass immigration gets past a critical point, becomes changing the system and replacing the previous majority with a new majority, and tossing out institutions like the liberal/democratic rule of law, and replacing them with something new and sinister, a “rough beast,” to use William Butler Yeat’s phrase, that we have not clearly seen yet. It does not happen overnight, but it is the inevitability of Fabian gradualism:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/21/report-slams-uk-failure-prosecute-fgm-abuse-europe/

“A report has slammed the “national scandal” of the UK failing to prosecute a single child abuser committing or enabling Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), saying it shows the system is failing to fight the practice, which is associated with some migrant groups. The document, produced by the Quilliam Foundation, claims “Britain remains alone in Europe in its inability to prosecute FGM” and examines different explanations, including “a lack of witnesses”, “cultural sensitivity”, and the “existence of legal loopholes”. It highlights figures showing that, in 2016-2017 alone, 5,391 new cases of FGM were recorded in the UK, but authorities failed to bring a single perpetrator of FGM to justice. Altogether, around 9,000 women sought National Health Service (NHS) help because of the practice in that 12 month period.”

     Hillary Clinton cannot let go of the idea that the Russians stole the US election and thus stopped her from becoming president, and in turn going to war with Russia, thus ending all intelligent life in the known universe. Now, she throws dirt at Russia whenever she can like the spoilt Boomer that she is:

“One-and-a-half years after Hillary Clinton lost the election, she’s taken her baseless claims of Russian collusion to her alma mater, pulling out a Russian hat while speaking at Yale’s graduation ceremony. The former secretary of state, who has hardly taken a breath in her campaign against Moscow and claims that it colluded with Donald Trump, wasted no time before jumping straight into the topic of Russia on Sunday. After a few obligatory “thank yous” to students and the faculty, she got stuck in. “I see you are following the tradition of over-the-top hats [at graduation], so I brought a hat too – a Russian hat,” she said. “I mean, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” https://www.rt.com/usa/427277-clinton-yale-russia-speech/

     I knew it, I just knew it! The Pope would say something bloody stupid just about now, and he did not disappoint me, because I am beyond disappointment:
  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-god-made-gay-homosexuality-vatican-catholic-church-sex-abuse-chile-juan-carlos-cruz-a8360421.html 

“A victim of clerical sex abuse has said Pope Francis told him God made him gay and his sexuality “does not matter”. Juan Carlos Cruz spoke privately with the pontiff last week about the abuse he suffered at the hands of a prominent Chilean priest. After his sexuality came up in conversation, Francis reportedly told him: “Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. God made you like that and loves you like this and I don’t care. The Pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are.” The comments are arguably the most explicit acceptance of homosexuality publicly spoken by a head of the Roman Catholic church, which teaches that gay sex is a sin.”

     Hands up who can see how the West will end? It could be by ethnic explosion, immigration implosion, or China will just rise and crush all before it:
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/05/21/expert-china-navy-double-us-2030/

“China’s navy is on track to be double the size of the United States’ by 2030, which puts U.S. interests at risk in the Asia Pacific and around the world, a U.S. military expert testified at a recent congressional hearing. “The future size of the [People’s Liberation Army] Navy will be about 550 warships and submarines by 2030. That is twice the size of today’s U.S. Navy,” said Retired U.S. Navy Capt. James Fanell at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday. “As such, it’s clear the U.S. Navy is at great risk. We simply are not adequately sized or outfitted to meet our national security commitments in the Indo-Asia Pacific, let alone around the globe,” said Fanell, former director of intelligence and information operations for the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet. Fanell said the Chinese navy, or PLAN, currently consists of about 400 warships — at least 330 surface ships and 66 submarines. Meanwhile, he said the U.S. Navy has 283 warships — 211 surface ships and 72 submarines.” So, China is set to rule the waves.

Get ready for war, because China is all set to go in the South China Sea:
  http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/05/20/20-may-18-world-view-china-escalates-militarization-of-south-china-sea-preparing-for-war/

“China announced on Friday that it has begun landing bombers on the artificial islands it created in the South China Sea, in preparation for the Battle of the South China Sea. The announcement appeared on China’s Ministry of Defense website: A division of the Air Force’s aviation division has recently organized multi-model multi-bombers such as the -6K to carry out training on islands and reefs to take off and land in the southern seas, tempering the ability to “reach all regions, conduct full-time air strikes, and strike in all directions.”
…
The aviation division equipped with the H-6K and other multi-type bombers, keeping in mind the strategic requirements of “ideological and political should be strong, have good skills to fight and must be strong in fighting style”, are fully committed to advancing training in the new era and are preparing for the West Pacific and the Battle of the South China Sea.”

     I am not aware of any interest, outside of this site about the EMP (electromagnetic pulse) issue in Australia. With the threat of a war with China fast approaching, ordinary people should be aware that EMP attacks, by exploding an atomic bomb in the atmosphere, have the capacity to knock society back to a pre-electric era, by destroying unprotected electronics, and that is a lot of the modern world: There is some discussion of this issue in the US, where, unlike Australia, the issue is being taken seriously:
  http://readynutrition.com/resources/emp-commission-warns-of-year-long-blackout-and-a-massive-death-toll_14052018/ 
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/emp-commission-warns-of-year-long-blackout-and-a-massive-death-toll_05102018

“A federal EMP commission report warns that even the smallest EMP attack on our grid system would down it for about a year, if not longer.  A year-long blackout would certainly be coupled with a massive death toll that would devastate entire populations. The so-called EMP Commission report said that this threat is very real, jeopardizes “modern civilization,” and would set back living conditions to those last seen in the 1800s. As a result of the chaos, millions would likely die, according to the report titled “Assessing the Threat from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP),” from the recently re-established Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.

     We have been told that homosexuality was a vibrant part of ancient Greek culture. But, was it? What proof is there of this? Adonis Georgiades in Homosexuality in Ancient Greece: The Myth is Collapsing (2004):
  https://archive.org/details/AdonisGeorgiadesHomosexualityInAncientGreeceTheMythIsCollapsing
  https://www.eurocanadian.ca/2018/04/the-myth-of-homosexuality-in-ancient-greece.html 

     He has conducted an extensive review of sources including Greek mythology the works of Athenian poets, vase illustration, the laws of Athens and Sparta as described by classical authors such as Plutarch, and various law suits. His general conclusion is that Greek culture viewed homosexuality in a generally negative light. I will not go into deals about all of this here, not being knowledgeable in classics, but will be content to mention the issue and give references for readers with more time on their hands to run to ground. Ancient Greece, therefore, cannot be used as a poster child for the politically correct agenda of today.

     Jordan Peterson has been considered part of an “intellectual dark web,” a loose knit of thinkers who are daring to question sacred cows of the modern regime. That shows how much in decline the universities are, since one would have expected academics to perform fundamental questioning as part of their pay. But, no.
  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/opinion/intellectual-dark-web.html

     Peterson himself has done good work on the gender agenda and on manhood. However, he has a critical weakness on race and immigration, as these critics have established:

     The British new class elites, as seen in the example of the BBC, have viewed the recent Royal wedding as showing that there is nothing essentially white about Britishness, that Africans can be just as British as those who trace their ancestors back to the Saxons, for example.
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chyAlmoZLGA

     Of course, this cultural nihilism is not extended to, say, the African migrants, or Muslims, who do have a culture, and an absolutely fab one at that. How then is this double standard justified? In short, it is not because these elites now rule so there is nothing to justify because they make the rules. These elites are the same sorts of creatures who see nothing at all wrong with modern London:
