This is a good article about the coming civil war in America, inevitable because of what I call, “the Great Divorce,” that liberal and conservatives have a totally mutually incommensurable paradigms, and that social conflict cannot be avoided:

“The machinations of an illiberal left, on display in its ever-increasing violence accompanied by the ululations of a propagandist media in contravention of an imaginary “white supremacist” right, have riven the nation into diametrically opposed camps. The right will never accept socialism, while the left will accept nothing less.

     I like this guy. Nothing like this could exist in Australia, as mad socialist cubs would resort to violence to shut it down. Free speech does not live here in Australia, a land established just to make a few more pounds and dollars for the money power, not as a home for a people for as long as humanity lasts:

““What does the evidence say about the claims of the Black Lives Matter movement?” “Is the criminal justice system really systematically racist?” “Is there really a rape epidemic on our college campuses?” “What was that you were saying about white privilege?” “What was that you were saying about patriarchal oppression?” These are some of the study prompts for a new class to be offered at the University of North Carolina Wilmington called “Issues in Criminal Justice.” Were these topics taught by a left-leaning scholar, the classroom conversations and readings might have gone one way. But the class is the brainchild of one of the most well-known and outspoken Christian conservative scholars in the nation — criminology Professor Mike Adams — and he promises that students will finally get a chance to hear how those on the right would answer these questions, and more. He calls the class “a reasoned response to systematic academic malpractice.” “Please note that whereas political leftists author virtually all of the readings in your other courses, conservatives and libertarians author most of the readings in this course,” the syllabus states. “This is done so that you will be exposed to beliefs that contradict those of the vast majority of your professors. Often, these dissenting views are presented only as caricatures. In this class, you will hear from the proponents of such views directly.”

     What do they have to hide? Plenty! Evidence of an Epstein cover up, Epstein being the paedophilic sex offender who supplied children (as young as 12 years) to the 1 percenters to sexually abuse. Now it seems, all prison documents dealing with Epstein’s death have been withheld:
  https://sharylattkisson.com/2019/09/all-prison-documents-about-jeffrey-epstein-withheld/

“My public information request about his death— has been formally denied. Shortly after Epstein died in August, I filed a Freedom of Information request for public documents about his injuries and medical care for both the day he died and earlier, in July, when he reportedly attempted suicide. Member of the public and press are entitled to review documents and communications generated and collected by federal agencies and officials because– we own them. However, federal agencies often delay, obstruct and resist the release of such documents. Guidance from FOI court cases and the executive branch indicates that federal agencies are supposed to make every effort to release as much information as possible– and at least partial information if exemptions are at play. In the case of the Epstein documents I requested, the federal Bureau of Prisons responded by stating that it is withholding all of the documents entirely. The Bureau cites six exemptions, including that releasing the information “could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of an(y) individual.” One of the exceptions cited by the Bureau of Prisons in withholding all information related to Jeffrey Epstein. The Bureau of Prisons invited me to keep refiling in the future to see if the status changes. The FBI is said to be investigating how jail authorities missed Epstein committing the act of suicide in their custody while awaiting trial on new sex trafficking charges.”

     I remember well when the mining boom was on some time back, and the government used this as an excuse to engage in basically open borders legal migration, as part of its program to dispossess the dispossessed majority, now minority. Well, that boom could be back:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7471843/More-20-000-mining-jobs-set-spring-Australia-five-years.html?ico=pushly-notifcation-small

“More than 20,000 mining jobs will be available over the next five years as $40billion worth of infrastructure projects in Australia's are given the go ahead. A new report released on Tuesday by the Australian Resources and Energy Group [AMMA] announced thousands of jobs as electricians, electricians and geologists. The 'boom' of mining jobs could see tens and thousands of Australians raking in big bucks, with some occupations paying six-figure salaries. 'Australia's mining industry is facing new workforce demand at levels not seen since the previous investment and construction boom,' AMMA Chief Executive, Steve Knott AM, said. A forecast of available jobs includes 8,660 mining plant operators and 2,847 heavy diesel fitters. An estimated 4,180 engineers, technicians, geologists and other related roles are needed as well as 4,110 supervisors, administration and management jobs. At least 970 other trades such as electricians, mechanics and maintenance jobs are also forecasted.”

     The book Medical Nihilism (Oxford University Press, 2018) by philosopher of medicine, Jacob Stegenga, is a bit beyond my capacity to review, even to adequately summarise. This highly technical book develops a scientific and mathematical statistical Bayesian critique of modern medicine’s claims to scientificity, attacking the empirical studies, such as metanalyses. While medicine has no problems with simple things, like broken legs, the real issues today are dealing with complex problems, such a depression, heart disease, and the diseases of civilisation, by drugs and chemicals. This is where the numerous difficulties arise, since all drugs have side effects, some that could be worse that the condition treated. Even simple NSAIDS, like ibuprofen, taken over even short periods can raise the risk of heart attacks:
  https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/heightened-risk-of-heart-attacks-found-with-common-painkillers-in-routine-use/

“People who use commonly prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat pain and inflammation could be raising their risk of having a heart attack, as early as in the first week of use and especially within the first month of taking high doses of such medication, suggests a study in The BMJ this week. Previous studies suggested that both traditional and COX 2 selective NSAIDs could increase the risk of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), but the timing of the risk, the effect of dose, treatment duration, and the comparative risks between NSAIDs were poorly understood. An international team of researchers led by Michèle Bally of the University of Montreal Hospital Research Center (CRCHUM), then an epidemiology doctoral student at McGill University in Canada, set out to characterise the risks of heart attack associated with use of oral NSAIDs under real life practice circumstances. For their study, the researchers carried out a systematic review and a meta-analysis of relevant studies from various healthcare databases including those from Canada, Finland and the United Kingdom.

     Keeping up with the Pope and other trendies are our interracial Royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are flying to Africa, with even Markle’s hairdresser, to save the world from climate change:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/09/22/prince-harry-meghan-markle-flying-to-africa-with-climate-message/

“Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, make a long haul flight to Africa on Monday to spread their climate advocacy to a new audience. Baby Archie will join them on the 10-day visit along with a team of 13 assistants including a “social media officer” and a hairdresser for Markle. The Sussexes’ first tour as a family comes after the duke and duchess flew to Rome to watch Meghan’s close friend, fashion designer Misha Nonoo walk down the aisle with oil tycoon Michael Hess on Friday. Highlights of the latest trip will see the duke and duchess visit a township in Cape Town to tour a workshop supporting children and young girls, and visit another near Johannesburg where they will learn about a project tackling rising unemployment. Malawai, Botswana, and Angola are also on the itinerary. The past two months have been busy for the Royal pair, with them spotted at one stage taking four private jet flights in just 11 days. Their  seemingly constant air travel has not been without controversy. Last month a barefoot Duke of Sussex stood before an elite audience of business leaders and celebrities gathered at Google’s annual deluxe retreat in Sicily to warn immediate action is needed to avoid an approaching climate catastrophe. The Evening Standard reported Prince Harry, 34, is understood to have insisted the future of the planet is a humanitarian issue, not a political one, and the world must act to avoid disaster.”

     As part of my “Pope watch,” I note that the Pope has taken a well-earnt break from advocating open borders, to attacking the money system. At first, I was pleased, but something does not feel right about the depth and intensity of the critique:
  https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2019/09/22/pope-francis-money-is-the-devils-dung-2/

“Pope Francis returned to his criticisms of the economy Sunday, saying that money is “dishonest wealth,” also known as “the devil’s dung.” Speaking in Saint Peter’s Square in the Vatican, the pontiff told the tens of thousands of pilgrims and visitors to beware of riches in reference to the gospel reading of the day. “The key to understanding this story lies in Jesus’ invitation at the end of the parable,” the pope said. “‘I tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.’” “This seems a bit confusing, but it is not,” he added. “‘Dishonest wealth’ is money, also called ‘the devil’s dung,’ and in general, material goods.” “Wealth can drive people to erect walls, create divisions, and discriminate,” Francis continued. “Jesus, on the contrary, invites his disciples to change course: ‘Make friends with riches,’” he said. “It is an invitation to learn how to transform goods and riches into relationships, because people are worth more than things and count more than the wealth they possess. Sunday’s speech was not the first time that Pope Francis has used colorful language in speaking about money, or even for the reference to “the devil’s dung,” a quotation from Saint Basil the Great. “It is not easy to talk about money,” Francis said in an address to the Italian Confederation of Cooperatives in 2015. “Money is the devil’s dung of the devil! When money becomes an idol, it rules over a person’s choices. And then it ruins a person and condemns him, turning him into a slave.”

      As a former high school teacher and a mother I agree with Nevin Watson who made the point that our youth seem be led by emotion rather than facts. (Drowning islands - Emotion or sober facts? – POST August 24). Young people tend to see everything as either black or white and to believe whatever they are told, especially when the information is constantly being pushed by main-stream media.  It seems they are no longer taught to think and reason for themselves.  I also agree with Nevin that relentless misinformation needs a response.

     The devil is everywhere, but I believe, tends to “chill out” in whatever downtime he has, in California, which is no longer the world of the Beachboys …oh, that is long gone.
  https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2019/09/15/california-adds-another-state-no-travel-list/

“Back in 2016, California passed a new law (Assembly Bill 1887) establishing a naughty list of states that don’t conform to their high moral standards. The bill created a travel ban, forbidding state-funded or endorsed travel to states that failed to provide “protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.” They quickly began adding states to the list, including Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Kentucky. (Clever readers are probably noticing a pattern already.) This week, California’s woke Attorney General, Xavier Becerra, broke out his sharpie and added another name to the list. This time it was Iowa, selected for failing to have Medicaid pay for transgender surgical procedures. (Sacramento Bee) Attorney General Xavier Becerra on Friday extended California’s ban on taxpayer-funded trips to an 11th state, adding Iowa to the list based on the Midwestern state’s passage of a law that removed gender protections under Medicaid. Becerra’s order means public employees and college students may not travel to Iowa under provisions of a 2016 California law. Twelve years ago, Iowa’s Legislature made gender identity a protected characteristic under its Civil Rights Act, which prohibited refusing service to or discriminating against people based on their gender identity preferences.”

     This is how bad it is, when the immigrants start complaining about immigrant’s race:
  https://www.courthousenews.com/immigrants-in-italy-we-did-not-come-here-to-live-in-africa/

“A beat-up car carrying African field workers turns off a country highway through this sunny landscape of vineyards and vegetable fields and heads onto a dirt road. They’re headed home to a shanty town where thousands of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers live in a parallel world. There’s no signpost saying this place exists, so the car serves as a guide to reach it. The car bounces along, avoiding potholes, and goes from one dirt path to another across open grassy land. Then, the car turns onto a long straight strip of asphalt. It’s an abandoned landing strip behind a former air force base. Another beat-up car shows up and cruises down the strip too. Suddenly, a visitor is transported from southern Italy into a corner of impoverished Africa. To the side of the landing strip, a man tosses bags of garbage in the back of a moving truck onto the side of the air strip. This is apparently a dumping ground for the shanty town and there are other piles of waste and discarded items, from an old oven to broken chairs, lining the air strip. The ghetto then comes into view off to the right. It’s an extensive assemblage of shacks, caravans and makeshift structures – a kind of invisible town with an invisible population that lives off the grid, off the books and out of sight.

     Here is a human-interest story that will warm the hearts of all lovers of migrants, multicults, diversity and political correctness. Imagine inviting folk into your home and they do not leave, but instead take over everything and dispossess you, leaving you homeless. Sounds mighty familiar …  now where did that happen?
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/07/05/woman-who-invited-migrants-her-garden-now-demands-they-leave/

“A Belgian woman who invited migrants to set up a makeshift camp in her garden now says she wants them to leave after incidents of aggression and violence. For nearly two and a half years the Simon-Hody family have allowed migrants wanting to travel to Britain to camp out in their garden in the town of Spy, but now, after a series of incidents, they say they no longer want them there, Sudinfo reports. The situation in the makeshift camp is said to have deteriorated so much that the family has stopped all aid to the migrants, saying that alcohol and violence led to the camp becoming more and more dangerous by the day, with one family member stating: “We did not feel safe anymore.”

     Living, if that is the word, in the UK, is like knowing that one has an incurable disease that will kill you, and you fill in your time, watching bits and pieces of your former healthy body fall of, or rot. Thus, while the conservatives are bad, the insane Labour Party is determined to push the boundaries of reality, with but one policy being legalising all drugs:
  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-legalising-drugs-cannabis-heroin-cocaine-diane-abbott-david-lammy-a9106591.html

“A Labour government could reportedly consider legalising all drugs if it was recommended by royal commission. “There is nothing more important than preserving the life of our citizens," Diane Abbott, the shadow home secretary, told The Sunday Times. "Our current approach to drugs is simply not doing that." She said the party would "establish a royal commission to review independently all drugs legislation and policy to address related issues of public health." Labour would then follow its recommendations, if it suggested decriminalising some or all drugs including cocaine or heroin. Overdose prevention clinics - state run facilities where users could safely inject themselves - would also be considered, Ms Abbott told the newspaper. Data compiled by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Policy, showed that 8 per cent of young adults admitted to smoking cannabis over the last year in a 2017 study, while the number rose to 12.3 per cent in the UK. Meanwhile at 0.4 per cent, the Iberian country has a lower rate of high-risk opioid use among the population than the UK, where 0.8 per cent of people are affected. Labour MP David Lammy said he was pleased to see his party "commit to an evidence based approach on drug reform”. He added: “The war on drugs is funding gangs, fuelling crime, giving children easy access on social media and disproportionately criminalising working class young men.” 

     This article may be of interest to someone … no, me, and other sufferers of Alzheimer’s, or old-timer’s disease. You see it has something to do with light helping, but I can’t remember what:
  https://antiagingscience.news/2019-09-09-flashing-lights-and-pink-noise-may-prevent-alzheimers.html

“Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few of its cognitive symptoms, but they prove unable to halt or slow down the progression of the disease. Not one newly developed drug has achieved success in clinical trials. As a result, researchers are now studying non-pharmaceutical approaches. To test potential treatments, researchers created genetically altered mice models that exhibit symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s. Some produced tau protein tangles in their brains while others developed amyloid-beta plaques. Both formations are associated with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to those hallmarks, the mice also exhibited a third symptom. Their brains generated gamma waves that oscillated between 30 and 100 times per second. 

     (Own report) - Berlin's foreign policy is in support of Scottish nationalists, preparing to hold a second referendum to secede from the United Kingdom. Last week, Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of the Scottish regional government and chairperson of the Scottish National Party (SNP), was received in the German capital for confidential talks with representatives of the German foreign policy establishment, including with Michael Roth (SPD), Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Officially, the meetings were focused on the Brexit, bitterly opposed by Sturgeon and the Scottish nationalists. However, Sturgeon was, in fact, also pleading for support for her secessionist project and to bring Scotland, as an independent country into the EU. About three years ago, German government representatives had already been in support of this plan. However, a reliable Scottish majority, needed for this project, is nowhere in sight.

To The Australian         Barry Maley is right ("Germany's new leader to march across the map", 24/9). Failure to achieve Brexit will mean "the abandonment of 1,000 years of glorious history and liberty” for the British people and it will have happened as a result of massive deceit and coercion practised against their "quiet citizens" who value a traditional communal life based on "fellow feeling, fair dealing and honesty." Maley seems surprised that so many Remain partisans are unaware of the authoritarian overlordship being prepared by the EU leadership. Perhaps their blindness has been caused by a widespread falling into the worship of "false gods" such as climate change crusades and egalitarian policies. This in turn has occurred because of the largely hidden manipulative power of big money in few hands, together with the failure of the Christian churches to bring their theology up to date and thus be able to put up a proper fight.

     This is how bad it is getting, merely say in your school lesson that there are two genders, and the sky will fall in:
  https://www.rt.com/uk/462327-student-kicked-out-two-genders/

“A 17-year-old Scottish student claims he was told to leave his class after saying there are only “two genders” – a statement which earned him a reprimand from the teacher, whose reaction he secretly recorded on camera. The three-minute-long video shows the teacher at the Aberdeenshire secondary school explaining that he was asked to leave the class because his opinion on genders is “not very inclusive” and out of line with “national school authority policy.” The student then turns that argument on the 56-year-old teacher, telling him it’s also “not very inclusive” to prevent him from airing his own personal views on the subject. When the teen says that claims of more than two genders are “not scientific whatsoever,” the teacher tells him “not every policy is scientific.” As the debate heats up, the teacher tells the boy he was "clearly given an opportunity not to pursue" his point, but did so anyway. “Could you please keep that opinion to your own house? Not in this school,” the teacher asks. The verbal spat continues, with the student accusing the staff member of wasting 30 minutes of his time. The teacher then advises him to “make an official complaint.” I was simply saying there are two genders – male and female. Anything else is a personal identification,” the boy continues. ,Media reports said the teen had been disciplined for sharing the video online without consent, but not for its content. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Aberdeenshire Council told the Scottish Daily Mail that the video didn’t give the full context of the discussion. The council’s aim, he said, is to “foster good relations between those who have protected characteristics and those who don’t” and to support an “inclusive environment for all.”

At no time in the modern history of the British Westminster parliament have we seen a government so pitted against its parliament and now the highest Court in the land.

A very basic chronology is:

The Cameron Conservative government held a referendum in June 2016 with 51.89% of votes cast to leave the European Union. David Cameron then stepped down and was replaced by Theresa May as Prime Minister.

Ms May was unable to secure a successful vote in the British parliament on any deal agreed to by the European Union because a number of Conservative MPs voted with Labour against all the proposals she put forward.  She resigned in June 2019 and was replaced by Boris Johnson the next month.

Unable to get backing from the parliament to leave the European Union without any deal, Boris Johnson then sought to prorogue the parliament for around five weeks until 14 October, two and a half weeks prior to the final exit date (from the EU) of 31 October.

Johnson then formally advised the Queen, by telephone, to prorogue parliament between the 9th to 12th September and to hold a Queen’s Speech on 14th October.  On 28th August, Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg, Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Privy Council, Mr Mark Harper, chief whip, and Baroness Evans of Bowes Park, Leader of the House of Lords, attended a meeting of the Privy Council held by the Queen at Balmoral Castle resulting in an Order in Council proroguing the parliament between those dates.
