When you are a precious snowflake with wealth security, it is possible to climb to the high moral ground, and virtue signal. Oh, I hate my white privilege. How many academics have said this in lecture theatres across the West, including Australia today, then travelled home to comfort and security? All of them!
  https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/08/07/rosanna-arquette-im-sorry-i-was-born-white-and-privileged-it-disgusts-me/

“Hollywood Actress Rosanna Arquette is apologizing for being born white, saying she’s ashamed of the privilege she believes her skin brings. “I’m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame,” the Pulp Fiction actor said on Wednesday. It’s not clear exactly why the award-winning actress, whose net worth is estimated at about $9 million, announced her shame for being white. But the Crashing star is certainly no stranger to outrageous statements.”

     It seems that the noble art of sheep squatting is taken very seriously in Siberia, and has been practiced for 1,000 years. Recently, Swiss archaeologist Dr Gino Caspari, 32, won the southern Siberian sheep squatting contest, achieving 104 squats with a live sheep on his back.
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-7264059/Siberian-sheep-squatting-contest-won-time-1-000-years-foreigner.html

     Now, this seems to me to be an even better sport for Australia and New Zealand, for we are sheep obsessed too. And, I do not think it would be hard to break the squat done by Dr Caspari. Even at my age, I can knock out 1,000 body weight deep squats, and with a barbell, did 100 kgs in one set, 100 reps., about a week ago, before being admitted to hospital. So, I will eat that record, and younger guys will be light years ahead, perhaps not even needing to go to hospital afterwards.

     Apparently this latest banning by Big Tech has woken up the ever-senile Trump, who is working, always working on a plan to stop the masters of the universe banning conservatives, but will we ever see anything?
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/07/mitch-mcconnell-campaign-suspended-from-twitter-for-highlighting-violent-threats/

“The campaign account for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was suspended from Twitter after sharing a video of protesters allegedly making violent threats against the Senator, including a protester saying “just stab the motherfucker in the heart.” Twitter had no problem with “Massacre Mitch” trending on the platform. Sen. McConnell’s team slammed Twitter in a comment to USA Today’s Courier-Journal. “This morning, Twitter locked our account for posting the video of real-world, violent threats made against Mitch McConnell. This is a problem with the speech police in America today,” said campaign manager Kevin Golden. “Twitter will allow the words of ‘Massacre Mitch’ to trend nationally on their platform, but locks our account for posting actual threats against us,” Golden added. “We appealed and Twitter stood by their decision, saying our account will remain locked until we delete the video.” Daily Wire reporter Ryan Saavedra was also locked out of his Twitter account for drawing attention to the threats. “Twitter asked me yesterday to delete this tweet,” said Saavedra. “It showed a person allegedly calling for violence against Mitch McConnell. The person appears to be a BLM activist who has met with Elizabeth Warren.”

     Present American politics is fascinating because it exposes the deep underbelly of hyper-corruption that is the modern state. People, the ordinary sheeple, believe a stated reality, that all sheep are like them. But, many sheep are simply wolves, who circle round and periodically feed off of the masses. Thus, the narrative goes that Trump is some sort of nationalist, who is striving to control border invasions, and create jobs for Americans. But the reality is that he has done more for a foreign country than America, not to say that this is bad in itself, and that place is not Russia, as the progressives say.  Then he tweets about having the largest legal immigration intake of all time:

     You have to smirk at the sheer cheek, insolence, audacity … there is no English word summing it up, but other languages have it … of Hollywood, which right at the moment going full moral high ground about shooting, guns hate, all that stuff. It has in its bowels a movie about elites hunting down and killing for sport, deplorables, Trump supporters; The Hunt. Here is what I know about it:
  https://www.theorganicprepper.com/hollywood-is-launching-a-satirical-movie-about-elites-hunting-and-killing-trump-supporters/
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/07/elites-kill-deplorables-in-new-horror-film-the-hunt/
  https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ads-pulled-hunt-wake-mass-shootings-1229829

“A new thriller by Universal Studios called “The Hunt” has been met with fury in the wake of two politically motivated mass shootings. The horrifying plot features liberal “elites” who go to a resort called The Manor where they are able to hunt down and brutally murder a dozen “deplorables.”

     Globalist paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his prison cell. Let’s just think about that for a moment, contemplating that he was not just trafficking teenaged girls but allegedly procuring eight year olds for dirty old 1 percenter elites to abuse:
  https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9622107/jeffrey-epstein-eight-year-old-girls-sexually-abuse/

     For those who came in late, Epstein had been running a sex island where the world’s rich and powerful got to have sex and related perversions  with underaged girls. He was arrested once, but a sweetheart deal was given, then he got re-arrested, and the island raided, with much allegedly incriminating material found. Epstein had allegedly attempted suicide in his cell, but most people think that it was a botched murder attempt. Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig reported that Jeffrey Epstein told authorities someone tried to kill him in that previous incident. He was not protected from any sort of threat by moving into a more secure location. Oh, the elites finally got it right, and a convenient failure in the cameras, has led to what we are being told is a suicide. Two guards were both told to leave area three hours earlier for scheduled "maintenance."

     Normally the conspiracy line is taken by our side, with various folk talking about false flags and all that. But, the Epstein murder, no, it’s still a suicide, is so over the top that even establishment figures are setting back and asking why, as suicides in such cells are impossible, a former inmate of the same facility has said:
  https://nypost.com/2019/08/10/former-mcc-inmate-theres-no-way-jeffrey-epstein-killed-himself/
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-11/former-mcc-inmate-says-its-impossible-epstein-have-killed-himself

     Well, there is the best motive in the world, since Epstein had the dirt, literally, on the super-rich and famous. And the day before his murder, eh …suicide … 2,000 pages of material was released which implicated at least two Democrats.

     When will the climate change madness end? Surely only with the complete shedding of Western techno-industrial civilisation.  The case in point, banning the humble sausage, one of life’s remaining joys, to be cruelly snatched from us by  … by … the climate change police!
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/08/wurst-idea-ever-germany-to-tax-sausages-to-fight-climate-change/

“German legislators have proposed raising the sales tax on meat from seven percent to 19 percent to fight climate change and improve animal welfare. Research has shown that greenhouse gas emissions from livestock account for a higher percentage of total global emissions than the world’s 1.2 billion automobiles, a fact underscored by some German Greens who are pushing for higher meat taxes. A United Nations report from 2012 found that the earth’s cattle population generates more carbon dioxide than automobiles, planes, and all other forms of transport combined. Moreover, the cow pies they deposit and the wind they break produce a third of the world’s methane emissions, considered 20 times more detrimental to the environment. According to Germany’s Federal Statistics Office, slaughterhouses in Germany killed 29.4 million pigs, cows, sheep, goats and horses during the first six months of 2019. During this period, Germany produced 3.9 million tons of meat, led by pork, the primary ingredient in German sausages. “I favor abolishing the VAT reduction for meat and using it (the increased revenues) instead for more animal welfare,” said Greens agriculture spokesman, Friedrich Ostendorff. The idea of raising meat taxes would be to reduce livestock numbers — as well as their gaseous output — by discouraging people from eating meat.”

“Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” network regular and Above the Law executive editor Elie Mystal called for aggressive protesting outside of the home of Stephen Ross, the owner of SoulCycle and the Miami Dolphins, for holding a fundraiser for President Donald Trump. Mystal said acknowledged the Hamptons were “very nice,” but indicated it didn’t have to be. “People of color are already targets under this administration,” he said. “I have no problem with shining the light back on the donors who fund this kind of racialized hate. I mean, I go further. I want pitchforks and torches outside this man’s house in the Hamptons.” “I’ve been to the Hamptons, it’s very nice,” Mystal continued. “There’s no reason it has to be. There’s no reason he should be able to have a nice little party. There’s no reason why people shouldn’t be able to be outside of his house and making their voices peacefully understood.”

     With the elites having exciting times smashing the deplorables, Trump supporters, and anyone they have with the meme: you are a mass murder if you oppose anything we support, in any shape or form, there is the inconvenient truth of Chicago, which is like a mini Sweden:
  http://newobserveronline.com/chicago-nonwhite-crime-disaster-shuts-down-hospital-after-mass-murder-weekend/

“One of Chicago’s major hospitals was forced to temporarily shut its doors to new patients last weekend after being overrun by wounded victims following a record-breaking non-white gun crime spree which saw over 59 shootings and seven fatalities. According to local reports, Chicago’s Mount Sinai Hospital temporarily stopped accepting patients Sunday morning because they were at capacity following a series of shootings. Chicago Police Public Information Officer Anthony Guglielmi told media that that officers responded to several multi-victim shooting incidents on the “west side of Chicago stemming from gang conflict.” The west side of Chicago has been completely overrun by masses of black, Hispanic and Puerto Rican gangs, who engage in a bustling criminal lifestyle including drugs, prostitution, theft and so on. The extent of the non-white violence is apparent from an audio recording released by Chicago police, which gives an idea of the ferocity of the gun battles in which the non-white gangs engage: it literally sounds like a war zone.”

To The Australian         As a graduate of the University of Melbourne, I am outraged that Duncan Maskell, the present vice-chancellor, has wrongfully dishonoured the achievements of the university since its foundation ("Lessons of Garma shape the future", 14/8). His claim that the university's "history pales into insignificance compared with the thousands of years of history and culture" of Aboriginals, put forward without any substantiating evidence, is sentimental and populist rhetoric. The university has a distinguished history of achievement by its scholars since its foundation, including discoveries of worldwide importance. Moreover, its history extends back through the European university tradition to the learning centres of the ancient world, Egyptian, Greek and Roman. I doubt that the Stone Age hunter-and-gatherer culture of the Aboriginals achieved anything remotely comparable in its long occupation of this continent. Maskell shows no awareness of the powerful case that has been brought against Aboriginal constitutional recognition by a number of our leading intellectuals. Has he read Keith Windschuttle's books, for instance?

     This was way before my time, but our founding father Eric Butler in a tremendous little leaflet, The Truth about the Chinese Communists “Agrarian Reformers” or Moscow Agents? first published c.1956, is just as relevant to today as when it first hit the streets of once was what Anglo-Australia. Butler said:

“If the Communist conspiracy against Western Civilization is successful — and there is a grave danger that it may — victory will have been accomplished not primarily by force of arms, but by a propaganda campaign which was designed to undermine potential victims' beliefs in fundamental principles upon which their way of life has been erected. As has been demonstrated time and time again, the real Communist menace is the manner in which conspiratorial methods have been used to influence and pervert the policies of all Western Governments and organizations. Even more menacing is the manner in which large numbers of influential members of the community, particularly those in the position to influence public opinion, are used unconsciously to disseminate propaganda which suits the Communists' purposes.”

     With all we hear in the media is about how sex differences are a social construction, for a breath of air, consider some basic physiology, neatly summarised here, which is good once I got past a few bits of course language that nowadays seems to fill blogs:
  https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2019/08/02/men-are-stronger-than-women/

“Men have about 61 percent more muscle mass than women (which is attributed to higher levels of testosterone); most of the muscle mass difference is allocated to the upper body—men have about 75 percent more arm muscle mass than women which accounts for 90 percent greater upper body strength in men. Men also have about 50 percent more muscle mass than women, while this higher percentage of muscle mass is then related to men’s 65 percent greater lower body strength (see references in Lassek and Gaulin, 2009: 322). Men have around 24 pounds of skeletal muscle mass compared to women, though in this study, women were about 40 percent weaker in the upper body and 33 percent weaker in the lower body (Janssen et al, 2000). Miller et al (1993) found that women had a 45 percent smaller cross-section area in the brachii, 45 in the elbow flexion, 30 percent in the vastus lateralis, and 25 percent smaller CSA in the knee extensors, as I wrote in Muscular Strength by Gender and Race, where I concluded:

     As senile and as bad as Trump is, Joe Biden is right off the planet, basically charging into open borders immigration:
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/09/biden-flood-of-immigration/

“Former Vice President and leading 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is vowing to greatly increase the number of legal immigrants admitted to the United States every year. In a speech to the Asian and Latino Coalition PAC, Biden promised to increase the level of legal immigration to the country beyond the roughly 1.2 million legal immigrants that are admitted every year, booming the foreign-born population to an unprecedented 45 million — a 108-year record high. Specifically, Biden said the U.S. can “in a heartbeat” import another two million immigrants today.

     I did not know this before, but YouTube has some fanatically fantastic legal material which is highly entertaining, especially on these cold wet winter days. Especially good is Legal Eagle, with a highly articulate lawyer, who deals with legal issues such as what would happen if millions of Americans stormed Area 51, the place of supposed alien technology. The answer is that the Deep State would respond with violence, maybe not killing tens of thousands, but they could if necessary. Legally, if people were aggressive the Deeper’s thugs could kill every one of the million.

     Just as a hypothetical, if most of the US population turned up, practically impossible but still a legal theoretical debating point, what then? In principle, to defend “America” the system could kill most Americans. I imagine that they would replace the entire nation with migrants from South America and Asia overnight, instead of, over a few years as is being done now. Does that sound wrong to you? Just consider the Epstein saga, discussed on these pages elsewhere to see what the Deep State is capable of.

     A little while back someone, and it could be me, memory fails me with work overload, covered the story of the Hollywood movie The Hunting, that was set to be released. Its pathetic story was that a group of elites got to hunt down and kill Trump supporters, and this was explicit. Then there were the two shooting sprees, one from the Right and the other from the Left, and the new class decided that they needed to capitalise on the opportunity of portraying all people right to Trump as killers, and this too was stated explicitly. Anyway, now Hollywood has got cold feet about its “beautiful” movie:
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/10/universal-cancels-the-hunt-where-liberals-kill-deplorables-for-sport/

“Universal has cancelled the release of the film The Hunt, reportedly featuring liberal elites hunting and killing “deplorables” for sport. The decision comes after the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, and President Donald Trump calling “liberal Hollywood” racist and full of violence. “While Universal Pictures had already paused the marketing campaign for The Hunt, after thoughtful consideration, the studio has decided to cancel our plans to release the film,” the studio said in a statement. “We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film.” The shelved film kicked off a firestorm last week after ESPN announced its decision to pull TV ads for The Hunt, a decision the network made in the wake of the deadly mass shootings in Texas, and Ohio that left more than 30 people dead and dozens more injured.”

     The Leftoid gun banner typically argues that where there is some shooting with deaths and injuries, that the gun and the person is at fault, but mainly the guns. No guns, no shooting; simple. Just forget about illegal guns, seen most dramatically in gun-controlled places like Mexico and Chicago. But, what about murders with hammers and other blunt melee weapons and tools?
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/11/fbi-more-people-killed-hammers-clubs-rifles-kind/

“The most recent FBI crime stats show that more people were killed in 2017 with hammers and clubs than were killed with rifles of any kind. Breitbart News reported the most recent numbers–those for 2017–on September 26, 2018. Those figures showed that 467 people were killed with “blunt objects (hammers, clubs, etc.),” while 403 were killed with rifles. And it must be noted that the category of “rifles” used by the FBI includes bolt action, pump action, single shot, and semi-automatic, as well as those the left describes as “assault weapons.” This means only a percentage of the 403 deaths attributed to “rifles” would have been carried out with an “assault weapon.” So, the gap between the number of persons beaten to death with hammers and clubs verses those killed with “assault weapons” would be even greater than the gap between those who died in a hammer/club attack versus those who died being shot with “rifles” of any kind. Breitbart News also reported that the 2017 crime figures showed 1,591 people were killed with “knives or cutting instruments” while 403 were killed with “rifles.” This means nearly four times as many people were stabbed to death as were killed with any kind of rifle. (The gap between the number stabbed to death and the number of persons explicitly killed with an “assault weapon” would be even greater.) Yet Democrats are pushing an “assault weapons” ban and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says legislation for such a ban will be “front and center” when the Senate reconvenes.”

     Good old Zerohedge.com, has just the right blend of economic doom and unrelenting apocalypse to keep my interest.

     Israel and Iran are already at war, with Israel attacking Iranian military targets within Syria. These were Iran-run bases, attacked by F-35 jets. Iran could retaliate by hitting targets within Israel which will set off the long-awaited Middle East War. Israel could use nuclear weapons if it was felt that there was an existential threat created. So would I if I had them and my flat was under attack, although the paradox is that I would go down in the bang. That would be interesting.
