The open borders Left usually deny the existence of no-go zones in diverse places like France and Sweden. This, however could lead to danger for people of some ethnicities:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/06/26/claim-multicultural-malmo-no-go-zone-jews/

“The Jewish congregation of the southern Swedish city of Malmö has warned that rising antisemitism is turning the city into a no-go zone for Jews. The congregation sent a letter to the city, warning that the numbers of Jews have decreased dramatically from 842 members in 1999 to 387 members in 2019 and runs the risk of disappearing entirely in the future, Nyheter Idag reports. “The Jewish congregation will soon disappear if nothing is done drastically. Malmö is already a no-go zone for Jews around the world. When Malmö is mentioned in the media around the world, it is far too often related to antisemitism. A Google search for ‘antisemitism Malmö’ gives 215,000 hits. Unfortunately, current initiatives are not enough,” the congregation said. Svante Lundgren, an associate professor in Judaism at CTR, the centre of theology and religion at Lund University, admitted in December of 2017 that migration from countries in the Middle East with a history of antisemitism fuelled the rise of incidents in the city. “Of course, it is so that most people with this background are not antisemitic but there is a group that is, and then they have brought their hatred away from home. In Malmö, we have a large part of the population who are from abroad, and in many places, there are social problems,” Lundgren said. The comments came after an incident in the city following U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement to move his country’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem in which pro-Palestine protestors shouted: “We have announced the intifada from Malmö. We want our freedom back, and we will shoot the Jews.”

     Day by day the internet censorship gets more intense, with now even President Trump getting “censored” on his favourite twit site, Twitter:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-27/twitter-censor-trump-tweets-ahead-2020-election

“Offensive material from the POTUS will also receive a label that applies to all verified political candidates and government officials with over 100,000 followers, according to the Washington Post. Before users can view the language in newly flagged tweets, they will need to click on a screen that says, “The Twitter Rules about abusive behavior apply to this Tweet. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain available.” The company also said it will set up a special team tasked with enforcing the policy, and the notification label would appear only on rare occasions. -Washington Post.”

     One can get hoodies with “Anti-Social Social Club” on them:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti_Social_Social_Club

     I saw a student wearing one. Fine, but is the very idea contradictory, that of having a club that no one goes to, much like Groucho Marx's one-liner: “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” Actually, this is not contradictory either, as the asserter will not join any clubs. However, the very idea of an anti-social social club is not necessarily self-contradictory. Suppose a social club is a club where people interact, or at least a space where they are together, however discordant. Being anti-social means having a profound dislike of socialising, but not necessarily not socialising at all, merely disliking it. Hence in the anti-social social club, we would have a most sorry bunch of individuals who while together hated the experience, and fought, perhaps.

To The Australian        Matthew Lesh is right ("Costly clamps on free speech", 3/7) that, to maintain and enhance intellectual freedom in our universities (and elsewhere), "the challenge is fostering a culture open to a diversity of ideas." However, he exaggerates in claiming that "almost everyone tends to think the same way." The censoring of certain viewpoints (such as right wing conservatism and universalist approaches to the sacred) happens as a result of fixed prejudices (scientific rationalism, old-time religion) and lobbying by very powerful political elites or groups of ideological extremists. Regrettably, misuse of the legal system to checkmate dissident views already occurs to a considerable degree. It's a pity that Ian Jacobs did not address this in his comment ("Speech code may have unintended consequences", 3/7). He should know that the fact that speech is "likely to be unlawful" is not at all always "a sound and acceptable rationale for limiting freedom of speech." Some of the "discrimination and vilification laws" to which he refers unjustly inhibit open inquiry.

     That is the big question:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7173125/Sperm-bank-set-space-study-suggests.html

“Women could be sent in to space with a selection of sperm ready to populate other planets, researchers say, as they test the effects of zero-gravity on semen. Frozen sperm could be transported in to space to 'open the possibility of creating a human sperm bank outside of Earth', say researchers at the Dexeus women's health centre in Barcelona. This could mean male astronauts are replaced by all-women teams in order to reproduce while in space. But further work is needed in order to fully understand the effect of space conditions and different levels of gravity. Frozen samples exposed to micro gravity conditions and those kept on the ground all seem to stay healthy, the researchers say. The study has been presented at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology annual meeting in Vienna, Austria. It comes after NASA published a paper arguing single-sex crews are best for cohesion and women are more likely to be co-operative."

     The elites can hold multiple contradictions and falsehoods in their head, so long as it advances their agenda. Consider:
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/28/jimmy-carter-claims-donald-trump-an-illegitimate-president/

“Former President Jimmy Carter suggested Friday that President Trump’s victory in 2016 was illegitimate due to Russian interference in the election. During a panel discussion on human rights issues at the Carter Center conference, the former president contended that a proper investigation into the extent of Russian meddling would, in fact, reveal President Trump did not win the White House.”

     It is one thing to censor us, as part of the process of exterminating people like me, like the insect life we are, but quite another that countries like Russia dare to censor the cream of liberal culture. It is simply shocking, and reason enough for Donald Trump, himself as progressive on this issue as anyone to launch a full-scale nuclear attack of Putin, aiming right for his castle:

  https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/elton-john-vladimir-putin-lgbtq-rocketman-censorship

“Elton John took to Twitter on Friday to respond to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent interview with the Financial Times. In the interview, published on Thursday, Putin said Russia has "no problem with LGBT persons. ... Let everyone be happy," but John, 72, called Putin's words hypocritical since a Russian distributor censored LGBTQ-related scenes from "Rocketman," a film based on John's life and career. "Dear President Putin, I was deeply upset when I read your recent interview in The Financial Times," the "Tiny Dancer" singer wrote. "I strongly disagree with your view that pursuing policies that embrace multicultural and sexual diversity are obsolete in our societies." He continued: "I find duplicity in your comment that you want LGBT people to 'be happy' and that 'we have no problem in that'. Yet Russian distributors chose to heavily censor my film 'Rocketman' by removing all references to my finding true happiness through my 25-year relationship with [husband] David [Furnish] and the raising of my two beautiful sons. "This feels like hypocrisy to me," John added. "I am proud to live in a part of the world where our governments have evolved to recognise the universal human right to love whoever we want."

     Dropping her pants like the other female singers apparently does not get ageing rocker Madonna the attention she used to get. Sad. Now she is going to the next level, gun control:

   https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/06/28/pulse-shooting-survivor-calls-out-madonna-over-gruesome-god-control-music-video/

“Left-wing pop star Madonna released the eight-minute music video for her new single “God Control” depicting a gruesome mass shooting and a warning: “this is your wake-up call.” The main theme of the video centers on club-goers being shot in ripped from the headlines-style scenes resembling the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, which saw a gunman kill 49, injuring 53 more. “I made this video because I want to draw attention to a crisis that needs to be addressed. To me, this is the biggest problem in America right now,” pop icon said. Madonna took to social media to share the video, which includes a disclaimer: “The story you’re about to see is very disturbing. But it’s happening everywhere and it has to stop.”

     It is the logic of Leftism and globalism, to give all priority to migrants, the replacement group. It is only logical. Thus, Sweden is moving in the right direction on the housing issue:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/06/29/swedish-youth-face-housing-shortage-migrants-given-priority/

“A survey from the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building, and Planning has shown that while young people are struggling to find homes, half of the local governments give new migrants priority. The survey, which saw data gathered from 290 Swedish municipalities, highlighted the fact that young Swedes are having an increasingly difficult time finding housing with 230 saying they had a shortage for young people, Nyheter Idag reports. Fewer municipalities, 221, said they had a shortage of housing for new migrants, and 135 said they had given preference to new migrants for housing, compared to just 12 who said they had given young people priority for homes in their areas.”

     No wonder they are driving for internet censorship, since false news bs can be exposed and debunked, then abandoned in only one news cycle now. The latest woman who claims that Trump raped her, who has a book to sell, not only went on TV and said that people think that rape is sexy, thus causing the mainstream to literally drop her like a hot over-cooked spud, but her claim has been exposed as plagiarised from the ultra pc TV show, Law and Order SVU, which is not a recreational vehicle, but refers to “special victims” facing especially “heinous” crimes. The episode is season 13, episode 11, and she did not even bother to change the name of the department store!

“In an interview with the New York Times’ podcast, The Daily, Carroll denied being raped altogether. “Every woman gets to choose her word. Every woman gets to choose how she describes it. This is my way of saying it. This is my word. My word is ‘fight,'” she explained. “My word is not the victim word. I have not – I have not been raped,” she continued. “I have – something has not been done to me. I fought. That’s the thing”:

     With the US/China trade war now apparently called off by the orange joke,  Trump, China, being once more victorious, has issued a warning to the world, well summed up by this recent Newsweek headline: “CHINA'S MILITARY WARNS U.S. MUST GET WITH THE TIMES: 'THOSE WHO RESIST WILL PERISH'”
  https://www.newsweek.com/china-warn-us-perish-1446338

“China's military called on the United States to adopt a modern way of thinking in dealing with the People's Republic, warning America that it risked falling behind. Speaking at a press conference Thursday, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Senior Colonel Ren Guoqiang condemned the Pentagon's recent Indo-Pacific Strategy Report, which accused Beijing of seeking "to reorder the region to its advantage by leveraging military modernization, influence operations, and predatory economics to coerce other nations." He said the ministry was "firmly opposed to its negative contents concerning China," citing some specific points of contention. "No strategy should go against the times," Ren explained. "The trend of the world is mighty and overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper while those who resist will perish. Peace, development and win-win cooperation are the trends of our times. Any strategy that is closed and exclusive, which is against the general trends, is doomed to failure." He also argued that "no strategy should harm the well-being of people all over the world" or "underscore the confrontation side of relations," calling for greater international dialogue and less unilateral behavior.”

     I saw this coming, but over in the land of the totally crazy, they are dealing with the social breakdown, reflected in the blackboard jungle, by wearing body armour:

“Growing up, all she wanted was to become a teacher. She realized her dream, and at first she loved the job. But now she says violence in the classroom has spun so far out of control that she has to wear protective sleeves to guard against attacks by students. "I've seen principals get hurt by students, I've seen blood on them. [Educational Assistants] get kicked in the head, punched, spit at," she said. CBC has agreed to protect the teacher's identity because she fears speaking to the media could harm her career. Her concerns match those of other educators across Ontario who say the verbal abuse and physical violence is leaving them injured and exhausted, and are calling on school boards and the province to provide more support. The teacher worked at several schools in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) and is qualified to teach students between Grades 4 and 12. She began teaching about 15 years ago, but it was only after returning from time off to have children that she realized things had changed for the worse. "I remember my first day back in a particular school, and I got home and I just wanted to call and say I'm not coming back," she said. Because her elementary school classroom had students with severe behavioural issues, the teacher said she was required to wear protective sleeves on her arms to guard against pinching, scratching and biting. "I was thinking of the students in the class, like, how do they feel about seeing their teachers in armour? I'm still in shock about it."

     It did not take too much time for pop icon Taylor Swift to come out, so to speak, and advance one of more globalist agenda. I thought that she may have gone the way of Mylie Cyrus doing the sex stuff, nudity and all that, but no, she is taking the political road, following the LGBTQ +(did I get all of the letters right?) road:
  https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/taylor-swift-punches-down-lgbt-rednecks/

“Have you seen the new Taylor Swift video? She takes a bold, courageous stance in favor of LGBT rights, and against the drooling mobs of orthographically challenged Red State bigots. Taylor and her cool LGBT friends have taken over a trailer park— get it! Ha ha! See, according to leading pop star Taylor Swift (estimated net worth: $320 million), redneck white people are not only anti-gay, but their religion is stupid, and they can’t spell. Oh, my ribs hurt from laughing, I tell you what. But seriously: this is what you call “punching down.” There is no easier target in the world for a pop star worth $320 million than anti-gay working-class and rural white Christians. I imagine Taylor Swift thinks herself brave. In today’s New York Post, David Harsanyi writes about Fall, a new sci-fi novel that envisions a future United States split between the violent, gun-toting, uneducated, cross-burning religious fanatics of bullet-ridden “Ameristan” and the peaceful, educated, secular denizens of the nation’s Blue enclaves, where decorum and truth always prevail.

     Here is an unusual aspect of immigration and open borders; conventional crime syndicates, who have been comfortable for decades, maybe centuries, face being out gunned by new bloods, migrants with fire in their bellies and a desire to succeed in the world world of organised crime, and can we really blame them? No, The Washington Post tossed me off, no freebies there. But still we have:

     The actual facts of the US case before the Supreme court is not too important for us, but rather the judicial dynamics. In Flowers v. Mississippi, Kavanaugh wrote majority opinion overturning a sixth conviction of a cold-blooded murderer who was convicted of killing four people 23 years ago. We should remember Kavanaugh as the Trump appointment that drove the left crazy because they thought that he was going to just like Black Judge Thomas, a literal constitutionalist and conservative. But this judge is just another white liberal. In Flowers, there was no doubt the defendant was guilty, but Kavanaugh was convinced that the jury was “racist.” The judgment was so unhinged that Justice Thomas, a Black man, in dissent called this out as virtue signalling:
  https://www.conservativereview.com/news/thomas-dissent-rips-kavanaugh-scotus-opinion-racial-politics/

“Justice Thomas shot back in his dissent and noted that not only does he disagree with the underlying premise and recent precedent (in Foster v. Chatman) that such facts would be grounds to overturn a conviction, but he disagrees with the notion that there was discriminatory intent. “The only clear errors in this case are committed by today’s majority,” wrote a clearly irate Thomas, who is getting tired of these cases. Confirming that we never should have taken this case, the Court almost entirely ignores—and certainly does not refute—the race-neutral reasons given by the State for striking Wright and four other black prospective jurors. Two of these prospective jurors knew Flowers’ family and had been sued by Tardy Furniture—the family business of one of the victims and also of one of the trial witnesses. One refused to consider the death penalty and apparently lied about working side-by-side with Flowers’ sister. One was related to Flowers and lied about her opinion of the death penalty to try to get out of jury duty. And one said that because she worked with two of Flowers’ family members, she might favor him and would not consider only the evidence presented. The state courts’ findings that these strikes were not based on race are the opposite of clearly erroneous; they are clearly correct.

To The Australian        The University of New South Wales is being too prescriptive in its published guidelines for staff concerning Aboriginal history ("Don't put date on Aboriginal arrival, Uni says", 29-30/6). It is laughable to suggest that it can be "harmful or damaging" to anyone if a commentator gives an opinion on the length of time our Aboriginal people have lived on our continent. Seeking to forbid such discussion is indeed an unacceptable intrusion on free speech. At the same time, respect can be paid to the traditional Aboriginal statement that they have been here "since the beginning of the Dreaming". That is a mythological statement that gives meaning to a people's sense of identity and purpose, just as does the Genesis account of the creation of the world in six days. An important distinction must be made, too, between "the Aboriginal people" and Australians living now who have Aboriginal ancestry. None of the latter "have always been in Australia from the beginning of time" or "came from the land." Acceptance of this distinction will curb excessive claims for special treatment.

To The Age        I'm puzzled by a quoted remark of leading workplace lawyer Josh Bornstein ("Caught in the scrum", 29/6) that "the free speech warriors of the right are almost without exception complete hypocrites" because when "someone of the left says something they oppose", they jettison their commitment to the principle of free speech. Who can he mean? To what contexts does he refer? As a lifetime conservative commentator, I'm sceptical of his claim. He's much more on track with his statement that restrictions on free speech should be "done by legislation rather than workplace law". Yes, we don't want the regulation of speech to be controlled by corporations.

To The Age        Diana Snape wants "a new national anthem that unites us all" (27/6), but that is hardly likely to be found until a greater overall harmony of purpose exists among the people. At the moment radical activists in various ways are chipping away at our national unity. The current campaign to see "our First Nations people" over-promoted by constitutional recognition or a treaty is an example of this. So is Michael Mansell's misinterpretation of "Advance Australia Fair" as anti-Aboriginal (25/6). The truth is that the Whitlam ALP government did significant damage by seeking to replace "God save the Queen" with an alternative and then being unable to find a satisfactory new anthem that a convincing majority would endorse.
