As long-term readers would know, I have been championing a campaign the close down the universities for some years now. Sometimes it seems that someone is listening. Why, I even wrote to the White House to see if President Trump would do anything, such as cut funding to starve the cancer. I did not get a reply, but maybe someone in the office got the idea and passed it on:

“Upset that conservatives continue to be silenced, banned, and even attacked on America’s increasingly Left-wing college campuses, POTUS Donald Trump said on Saturday he’s prepared to fire a financial warning shot across their bows. Speaking to a packed, enthusiastic crowd at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, the president said he was preparing to sign an executive order denying federal funds to any college or university that did not protect all students’ First Amendment rights to free speech. “Today I am proud to announce that I will be very soon signing an executive order requiring colleges and universities to support free speech if they want federal research dollars,” the president said after bringing Hayden Williams on stage with him, who was sucker punched by a Left-wing activist at the University of California-Berkeley last month. As reported by The National Sentinel, police at UC-Berkley arrested Zachary Greenberg, 28, about 1 p.m. Friday after a judge issued an arrest warrant for the February 19 attack on Williams, 26. Several videos of the attack show Greenberg verbally berating Williams before punching him in the face, then physically assaulting him.

     The president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, wants to change the name of the country to something like “Maharlika,” because of, well, imperialism, colonialism and all that jazz, as the country was named after King Philip of Spain. Ok, they want to cut ties with the West. Fine, but why should the United States therefore have to defend these fellows from China?

“As President Trump flew home from his Hanoi summit with Kim Jong Un, Mike Pompeo peeled off and flew to Manila. And there the Secretary of State made a startling declaration. Any armed attack by China on a Philippine ship or plane in the South China Sea, he told the Philippine government, will be treated as an attack on an American ship or plane, bringing a U.S. military response. “China’s island building and military activities in the South China Sea threaten your sovereignty, security and, therefore, economic livelihood, as well as that of the United States,” said Pompeo. “As the South China Sea is part of the Pacific, any armed attack on Philippine forces, aircraft or public vessels in the South China Sea will trigger mutual defense obligations under article 4 of our mutual defense treaty.”

     Yep, Australia is now in recession, so when this happens the elites like to really fry us, and turn up the immigration throttle to full power:
  https://www.smh.com.au/business/the-economy/australia-falls-into-per-capita-recession-as-growth-tumbles-20190306-p5122r.html 
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/global-economic-catastrophe-australia-falls-into-recession-nigeria-goes-the-way-of-venezuela_03062019

“Australia has fallen into what is known as a “per capita recession.”  That means the country is relying solely on population growth to propel its economy.  All this is happening as Nigeria follows the same path to becoming Venezuela. The dollar dropped sharply to a two-month low of $0.70 by midday as economists slashed their predictions for official interest rates to reach a record low of 1 percent by September, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. The per capita recession is raising questions about the government’s management of the economy ahead of the federal elections. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has repeatedly said economic growth will be weaker under Labor, but the final two results of this term of government show the Coalition will lead Australia back to the polls struggling to lift a slowing economy.  Many economic experts believe that this next global recession will allow the public to open their eyes about the reality of government and central banks: that they work together to enslave the masses while lining politicians’ pockets with money stolen from the slaves (general population.) On top of this potential nightmare scenario is the fact that governments around the world comprising the largest economies have nearly all become debtor nations that are one economic calamity away from global collapse. As noted by Robert Gore at The Burning Platform blog, France’s Yellow Vest protesters may have inadvertently hit upon a way to bring about the collapse of the fiat money and debt system that is sustaining the very governments which increasingly suppress the people they are supposed to serve. -JD Heyes, Natural News

     I dislike Jared Kushner from just his facial expression; which is always a smirking, “I have just done you ignorant grunts over” look, much the same slick expression of pseudo-aristocratic arrogance that Macron has, which is probably the real reason by the yellow vest movement is so intense. It feels of off the righteous hatred of such a tyrant. Kushner is the man who directly delivers to his father-in-law, Donald Trump, the policies that the globalists want, and Trump the rump simply processes it, and takes the abuse of the Left, as a true cuck. Kushner should not have any role to play in the Trump government; it is a conflict of interest having family members in any role.

     Talk about punishment! A false missile alert here in Hawaii, and I was getting all excited that the Big One had finally come, ringing in the new age of the apocalypse, and the rule of warlords in the ruins of modernity; a quick death is preferable to this death by a thousand cuts. But, no such luck:
  https://www.livescience.com/64828-false-nuclear-missile-alert-not-prepared.html?utm_source=ls-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20190221-ls

“If you were told to take cover because of an incoming nuclear ballistic missile, would you seriously know what to do? (Or would you run around frantically or ball up in a fetal position?) Many people in Hawaii faced that very question on Jan. 13, 2018. That morning, at 8:07 a.m. local time, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency sent out an alert advising residents to seek shelter from an incoming ballistic missile. Unbeknownst to just about everyone at the time, however, the alert was a false alarm. Even the operator who sent out the alarm, issued over text messages and on TV and radio stations, thought it was real. But it was accidentally sent out during a shift change, and the incoming operator didn't realize that the alert was part of a preparedness drill. Though it was an error, the alert revealed that Americans aren't prepared for an attack and that public health officials need to improve their messaging, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the CDC came to their conclusion after reviewing relevant Twitter responses posted during the 38-minute period before the alert was retracted and the 38 minutes afterward. Those tweets revealed a lot of confusion and fear, the researchers said.”

     This is the way that things are likely to go for Australia too, if the whatever referendum, which we are not hearing a lot about gets in. A case study of the future, as usual from the collapsing future, America:
  https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/430999-warren-harris-back-reparations-for-black-americans-affected-by-slavery

“Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), who are both running for president, have reportedly said they support reparations for black Americans affected by slavery. The New York Times reported Thursday that Harris affirmed her support for reparations in a statement after agreeing last week with a radio host that reparations are necessary. "We have to be honest that people in this country do not start from the same place or have access to the same opportunities," Harris said in the statement. "I’m serious about taking an approach that would change policies and structures and make real investments in black communities." Warren has also said she supports reparations, according to the Times, though her campaign declined to provide further details to the newspaper. The Hill has reached out to both campaigns for comment. Warren and Harris are both pursuing the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 and the Times noted that previous Democratic presidential candidates have not supported reparations. Among those who have not backed the policy are former President Obama, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her Democratic rival that year, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the Times noted. Sanders is running for president again in 2020. Supporters have said the policy is necessary to address slavery and other racist parts of U.S. history. Such a move could cost several trillion dollars, according to experts.”

     I recall reading somewhere that our kind of feminist, Camille Paglia, dismissed these kinds of things, like male advances, as something women  in the past could easily deal with, without Big Sister of the law squashing everything like a rampaging elephant. Now, even winking is open to legal punishment:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6733619/Man-36-appear-court-accused-propositioning-woman-WINKING-pub.html

“A man is set to stand trial after he was accused of propositioning a woman by winking at her in a pub. Grzegorz Kwiecien is accused of repeatedly winking at the woman at Dexy’s Bar in Dundee, despite her continuously rebuking his advances. It is claimed that the 36-year-old also propositioned the woman and confronted her after he was asked to leave the premises. It is also alleged that he attempted to kiss another woman on the same evening at the pub. He is set to stand trial on May 9 after being bailed, with an intermediate date of April 16 having also been set, the Evening Telegraph reported. This comes after Scottish Labour demanded that the sentencing guidelines for sexual assault are changed, particularly for young people.”

     It is dangerous to climb buildings in protest against having borders. Why, the saintly climber could slip and fall, or authorities could decide that there are better things to do with their public-paid time, and leave them dangling in limbo, which is sad. Hence, all borders, at least in America, and maybe in Australia too, when we get our climbers, must go:
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/21/watch-congolese-statue-of-liberty-climber-scales-texas-building-to-demand-open-borders/

“A Congolese national who previously climbed the Statue of Liberty monument to protest all immigration enforcement in the United States has scaled an Austin, Texas, building to demand open borders. This week, Therese Okoumou, a 44-year-old immigrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, scaled the Southwest Key building in Austin to protest the detention of border-crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border. “Free the children,” Okoumou shouted from the top of the building, according to local media. “Let them go!” Paramedics and firemen had to convince the Congolese national to climb down from the building after she spent eight hours atop the facility. After being taken to the hospital, Okoumou is expected to be charged with trespassing. The stunt in support of open borders by Okoumou comes after she infamously climbed the Statue of Liberty last year in a demand to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). After being released from police custody, at the time, the Congolese national slandered Americans with a statement to the press, calling U.S. citizens “motherf*ckers” and “drug addicts.”

     While decadent scientists, if they can be called that, deny that race exists, the Chinese are blasting ahead with race-based eugenics, making a ironic  lie to the socialist sciences of the West:
  https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612997/the-crispr-twins-had-their-brains-altered/

“The brains of two genetically edited girls born in China last year may have been changed in ways that enhance cognition and memory, scientists say. The twins, called Lulu and Nana, reportedly had their genes modified before birth by a Chinese scientific team using the new editing tool CRISPR. The goal was to make the girls immune to infection by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Now, new research shows that the same alteration introduced into the girls’ DNA, deletion of a gene called CCR5, not only makes mice smarter but also improves human brain recovery after stroke, and could be linked to greater success in school. “The answer is likely yes, it did affect their brains,” says Alcino J. Silva, a neurobiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, whose lab uncovered a major new role for the CCR5 gene in memory and the brain’s ability to form new connections. “The simplest interpretation is that those mutations will probably have an impact on cognitive function in the twins,” says Silva. He says the exact effect on the girls’ cognition is impossible to predict, and “that is why it should not be done.”

1 March 2019,          The media loves disaster stories – floods, cyclones, heat waves, droughts and fires - each one “the worst Evaaaah” (evaah since the last one). Each report of catastrophe is usually followed by a religious chant about “man-made global warming”. Pretending we can change global climate by waging a war on carbon dioxide is foolish and dangerous nonsense. Sensible people accept that natural disasters have happened, and will happen again. We cannot stop that, but like the Boy Scouts, we can “Be Prepared” by ensuring our essential infrastructure is more weather-proof. When cyclones, floods, droughts and bushfires strike we need disaster-proof helipads, rail links, roads, bridges, water and electricity supply. Not one solar farm or wind turbine will survive a severe cyclone, and in wild, cloudy weather they will produce zero power. And giant batteries/pumped storage are just a short-term energy crutch, not a source of reliable energy. We cannot change the climate no matter what we spend. But we must adapt and prepare for the inevitable cyclones, floods, droughts and bushfires. There will always be one that challenges past records. Three things are needed:

To prevent catastrophic bushfires, we need to remove excess fuel with frequent small controlled fires.

     I have not fully digested everything about the current fears over China’s mega-high-tech firm, Huawei, but the internet has numerous mainstream articles and items expressing alarm about what is going on. Thus, The Epoch Times of December 2018, has an entire special edition devoted to the “company’s opaque operations.” The Chinese Communist Party has a big role in the company’s leadership, and why should we be surprised at that? Well, this raises the issue about whether the company shares data with the Chinese authorities. But, again I think, no shock here, why would they not, for this is not a liberal capitalist country, but a communist dictatorship, and that is what they do? The West seems to be upset that China is not playing by the liberal/globalist rules, but why should China?

     Should we astonished to learn that Huawei plays a role in the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance of the entire society? Why would it not? Thus, nothing surprising for anyone who knows even a little about how China works. I offer no condemnation, because that is just how things are, and the naïve West needs to understand that is how the game is played now.
Here are some more mainstream internet sites saying much the same thing:

     The Pope does not like criticism too much, and who does? The Catholic Church has come in for its measure of attack with all of the paedophile claims over the last few years, so everybody at the Vatican, I imagine is in siege mode, with sandbags and mental fortifications, everywhere. No doubt, this is all, as usual, the “work of the devil”:
  https://nypost.com/2019/02/20/pope-francis-calls-catholic-church-critics-friends-of-the-devil/

“Pope Francis said that people who constantly criticize the Catholic church are “friends of the devil” — on the eve of the Vatican summit on dealing with the sex abuse of minors. Speaking to pilgrims in southern Italy Wednesday, the pontiff said that the church’s “defects” needed to be denounced so that they could be fixed. But, he said that those who repeatedly accuse the church were: “the friends, cousins and relatives of the devil.” “One cannot live a whole life accusing, accusing, accusing, the church,” Francis said. The comments came the day before the Vatican summit on clergy sex abuse and cover-ups by church leaders. “This is a slap in the face to all survivors,” Judy Larson, vice president of the organization Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, told The Post. “One the eve of a summit that’s supposed to provide the hierarchy of the Catholic Church with policies that will protect children from sexual predators, accusing survivors is unbelievable. “[The pope] is presenting this summit as some form of hope that those who are responsible will be held accountable, at this point there is no hope with statements like that.” A group of 12 survivors of abuse from around the world met on Wednesday with the organizers of the summit, which is set to last until Feb. 24. One of the survivors, Pennsylvania native Shaun Dougherty, brought pictures of victims of clergy sex abuse who had committed suicide and messages from their parents to the meeting and handed them to the organizers.”

     As we all know, guns cause crime, firing themselves, so the gun banners say, so the same must be true of knives, which grow legs and arms and stab people. If this was not so, then there would be something mighty problematic to explain:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/02/21/five-german-cities-see-stabbing-attacks-on-same-day/

“Earlier this week five German cities saw stabbing attacks on the same day with several hospitalised and at least two migrants declared suspects in connection with the attacks. The attacks have generated considerable media attention in once-peaceful Germany, where this level of violence is unusual. The first attack occurred in Cologne at around 4:40 am Sunday and came about following a dispute at a local hookah bar. As the dispute became more aggressive, violence broke out with one of the men involved stabbing another man several times with a sharp object, forcing him to require emergency surgery to save his life, German tabloid Bild reports. … Another man described as having an Arabic background is wanted by police for a stabbing in Mülheim an der Ruhr along with four other suspects. The victim claimed that he had been lured to the site of the stabbing by an acquaintance and was then attacked on arrival. The suspect in the final knife attack in Frankfurt, a 19-year-old, phoned the police and gave himself up after he is alleged to have been involved, along with seven others, in the stabbing of a 22-year-old who was hospitalised. The attacks come just two months after three women were stabbed in Nuremberg and just over a month after an Afghan migrant stabbed a pregnant 25-year-old Polish woman killing her unborn child in the process.’

     Whenever I have the opportunity I like to point out the utter hypocrisy of the chattering class on the gun issue; happy to take away guns from the ordinary people, but oh so quick to have armed guards protect their precious professionally fake carcasses:
  https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/02/24/gun-control-celebrities-enjoy-security-similar-to-a-u-s-president-at-oscars/

“Pro-gun control Hollywood celebrities attending Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony will enjoy security “similar to when a U.S. president visits” Los Angeles, according to law enforcement. The Hollywood Reporter notes that “a huge chunk of the [Los Angeles Police Department’s] 10,072 sworn officers will be on hand” for the Oscars. Moreover, they spoke to an officer who indicated Sunday will be a “mid-to-max deployment day” involving protocols similar to those used when presidents visit. An LAPD spokesperson said, “We will deploy enough officers to ensure the safety of all the citizens and Oscar attendees. We hope for the best and are prepared for the worst.” Yet even as they benefited from good guys with guns, the anti-gun stalwarts in Hollywood wore their pro-gun control accessories to the high-profile event. Prior to the 2018 Oscars, several celebrities made clear their “plan to wear orange lapel pins on the red carpet and during tonight’s ceremony in support of gun control and the Michael Bloomberg-founded gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.” We witnessed a similar situation at the 2016 Oscars, when celebrities wore gun control bracelets while surrounded by massive amounts of armed security.”

     My, how the times change. The drive now is to decriminalise homosexuality in the entire world. That means the Muslim world, the Middle East, and most of Africa, all pushed by the Rump administration:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-19/grenell-launches-trump-admin-effort-towards-global-decriminalization-homosexuality
  https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-launches-global-effort-end-criminalization-homosexuality-n973081

“The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it's still illegal to be gay, U.S. officials tell NBC News, a bid aimed in part at denouncing Iran over its human rights record. U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality — mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean. “It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,” said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event.”

     According to mainstream science, about 97 percent of biologists, life evolved from the primal slime, moving from single cell organisms to humans. It did this without the intervention of intelligence, no space people, or gods/God. The mechanism was, and is, random mutations, that are then subjected to natural selection. But selection by definition means that there has to be something to first select, so everything goes back to random mutations. Geneticists admit that most random mutations are deleterious, and thus bad, but there are low probability mutations that are beneficial, and these are selected. What is supposed here is that there is some sort of pre-established harmony between environmental needs and these random mutations. Thus, moths in an industrial area, where there is pollution, would benefit from darker colours. Sure, natural selection would favour the darker moths of species X, but what if there were NO darker moths to start out with? How would a random mutation happily occur to produce just the needed colour change? Surely the chances of this are infinitesimal, since there is no mechanism linking the need of the species, with its genetic; it is all random after all.

     These sorts of concerns are just the tip of the sceptical iceberg:

     If I have read my notes from last year’s Cultural Studies class, which for a joke I enrolled in at the local uni., that health and sexuality are intrinsically intertwined. Thus, lesbians are eternally discriminated against in this oppressive patriarchal, racist, discriminatory, racist, bad, bad, more bad, society, so they are fatter than heterosexual women, and that leads to health problems, or so the bad, bad, racist, bad, health establishment, patriarchal, bad, bad, bad, etc.,  say:
  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2019/02/21/lesbians-likely-overweight-experts-find-sexuality-linked-health/

“A new study reveals that sexual orientation may be an indicator of weight and health. In a report published in the Journal of Public Health, researchers at University College London and University of East Anglia in the UK say that lesbian and bisexual women are more likely to be overweight than their heterosexual female counterparts. Conversely, they also found that gay men are less likely to be overweight than straight men. Lead researcher Dr. Joanna Semlyen believes certain “psychosocial stressors” put on the homosexual community in particular make sexual identity a valid “social determinant of health.” She tells The Guardian, “These stressors include homophobia and heterosexism … and are known to be linked to health.” Results on either side of the sexual orientation spectrum are “worrying,” says Semlyen, as there are a number of health concerns associated with being overweight and underweight. This study collected data from 12 UK national health surveys consisting of 93,429 participants, and is considered the first of its kind to investigate a correlation between sexual identity and body mass index. Semlyen notes that these surveys did not record sexual orientation until 2008.”

     This is a story that magazines such as American Renaissance, who champion the East Asian intellectual supremacy thesis, based on the fallacious argument that a differences between population means establishes the supremacy of East Asian over “whites,” should loudly celebrate.  Here is a story of Euro-American genius:
  https://www.foxnews.com/science/teen-builds-working-nuclear-fusion-reactor-in-memphis-home

“Some kids spend their time on social media, other kids spend their time playing video games. When it comes to 14-year-old Jackson Oswalt, his time is spent in a laboratory working on a nuclear fusion reactor. The Memphis teen finished his reactor and achieved fusion at the age of 13. He’s regarded by experts as the youngest in America – maybe even the world – to accomplish it. Jackson built a steel machine made up of vacuums, pumps and chambers that is capable of smashing atoms together through force in a smoking hot plasma center that releases a burst of fusion energy. If you’ve ever wondered how the sun and other stars are powered, the process within Jackson’s nuclear fusion reactor is comparable. He began working on the fusion reactor at 12 years old, after concluding that he didn’t want to dedicate his leisure time solely to playing games like Fortnite. He began scouring the Internet for nuclear-related things because that’s what he says held his interest. Yes — at 12 years old.”

     We have been screaming about the coming bad times and the need for people to either do something to prevent it, and/or prepare for the great train wreck, and the fast train coming of global socialism/communism, which will be planted in post-Trump America in 2020, where it will spread instantly to Australia, and kill us all. What can we do?

     Fighting depression, heart disease, diabetes, syndrome X, Y and Z, as well as many pathologies unknown to modern science, I am back with a bright, fresh and shining article about the flat Earth theory. Well, no not really, just about the freedom to expound on controversial things. One, it was not controversial to believe, and say that the Earth was flat. Now, although it is not yet illegal, Big Tech is clamping down on it, having put the big stomping boots onto race/gender/immigration issues, that maybe 50 years ago, would have ben uncontroversial. It is all about power and who runs the great cesspool of society.

     Anyway, Mike Adams is not going to censor flat Earth videos, and that makes my day;
