This is where it all leads; a concern with fighting the cultural wars and all matter of Leftist nonsense has weakened the US to such a degree that the military will be struggling against foes such as China or Russia

“The American military’s superiority “has eroded to a dangerous degree,” and U.S. ability to win a war against adversaries like China and Russia “is increasingly in doubt,” a bipartisan report commissioned by Congress to evaluate U.S. President Donald Trump’s defense strategy revealed on Wednesday, echoing other assessments. “U.S. military superiority is no longer assured and the implications for American interests and American security are severe,” the National Defense Strategy Commission determined after reviewing classified documents, receiving Pentagon briefings, and interviewing top officials from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). Consistent with those analyses, Wednesday’s report found that the U.S. is facing a “crisis of national security,” especially if faced with a multi-front conflict, adding:

“The Democrats prepare a “subpoena cannon” aimed at over 85 people in President Donald Trump’s sphere. These subpoenas will not come out at once. Democrat California Rep. Adam Schiff, who will take over the House Intelligence Committee, told Axios that the committee will “prioritize what they view as the most pressing topics, which he says range from Trump’s potential business dealings with Russia to where things currently stand with North Korea.”

To The Australian        Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is right in principle that Jewish people, like all other religious and/or ethnic groups, should not be immune to public criticism ("Criticism of Jews 'is free speech'", 19/11). Moreover, questioning "the Holocaust death toll" is not unethical if it is based on evidence and reasoned argument and is not malicious. Jews and their friends should ensure that the term "anti-Semitic" is not misused to shut down open debate in areas where Jewish interests are involved. On the other hand, critics of Jews in public forums have a commensurate duty to avoid giving unjustified and unnecessary offence - and to balance negative comment by noting the wonderful contribution made by Jews to human culture and civilization.

     God is taking more time than I thought He would take, ending the tragicomedy that we call modern life (I have in mind Sodom and Gomorrah). So we enter the next cycle of madness where the elites tell us that a Republic is “nationalistic” and that we need an “Australian,” president, even though these same people want to Asianise Australia, are generally cucks for the Communist Party of China, and are total globalists. Could they be telling some fibs, just to get their demonic claws on the constitution?

“Australians will be asked to vote on a republic in a $160 million national plebiscite under a Labor plan that rejects a postal survey in favour of a public ballot to resolve decades of dispute. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has signed off on the funding plan to ask voters a "yes or no" question in the next term of Parliament, without any funding for official campaigns for or against the change. The plan assumes the same cost as the federal government’s original plebiscite on same-sex marriage but is double that of the postal survey eventually adopted and run last year. The Labor spokesman on an Australian head of state, Matt Thistlethwaite, said the recent visit to Australia by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would not hurt the case for a republic but the nation needed stronger political leadership to make the change. "I’m conscious that if you talk to the average Australian at the moment it’s probably not in their top 10 list of priorities and I understand that," he said.”

     The battle between Presidents Trump and French globo president Macron continues. Trump has fought back against the Mac attack, saying that France would be speaking German today if not for the US war effort:

“President Donald Trump is hitting back a second time against French President Emmanuel Macron after calls for an E.U. “army.” This time he didn’t stop at one tweet. Early Tuesday morning, Trump tweeted, “Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!”

     The Leftist globo-progressives said that the caravan of illegals invading the US border were all oh so poor refugees fleeing from terror for … freedom. Only problem with this hypothesis is that the people themselves have not said it, and in fact admit that they are coming to get jobs in the sucker West:

“Central American migrants with a caravan of 7,000 to 10,000 members are admitting once again that they are not asylum-seekers, but rather economic migrants looking for jobs in the United States. In interviews with the New York Times and the Guardian, caravan migrants admit that they are not eligible for asylum in the U.S. — despite establishment media reports that the Central Americans are asylum-seekers. From the New York Times:

     The Vagina Monologues is a  famous feminist play, saying the usual crazy things that feminist say, especially about vaginas. But, times are now at peak absurdity, as it goes before the final fall. Now, one US university cannot have a performance of this feminist masterpiece (Ha!) because it is not “inclusive” being written in a time before the transgender thing was big:
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/11/15/eastern-michigan-u-cancels-vagina-monologues-because-it-isnt-inclusive/

“Eastern Michigan University canceled a production of The Vagina Monologues because it was not inclusive enough. Students protested that transgendered people were excluded from the production. Eastern Michigan University canceled a production of The Vagina Monologues this week after the community claimed that the show was not inclusive enough. Students specifically felt that the show was inappropriate because it does not include transgender women. In a statement, the university’s Women’s Resource Center said that the show was canceled because of the group’s commitment to empowering minorities on campus.”

     Forgive me, but whenever I hear about election interfering, I think of paedophiles doing the dark deeds that they do. You know, that includes these establishment types:

     However, while Big Tech has moved to censor everybody they don’t like, and the Democrats are still playing the record “Russia gave the election to Trump by exposing our dark and nefarious deeds,” in reality, Big Tech wanted Hillary Clinton in to push their globalist agenda, and worked at it:

     If Americans do not surrender their guns, so that they can be passively, or maybe actively genocided, what will the Deep State do? I had thought that a New World Order army could be rolled out, since many military and police, unlike those in Australia, who are totally cucked and deracinated, would resist. But, the other possibility is that the Deepers go deeper and just nuke everything! A recent blog-fest has uncovered this delightful solution to all woes:

Eric Swalwell (D-CA) defended a potential “assault weapons” buyback Friday afternoon, saying that if gun owners defy a legislative ban, “the government has nukes.” The exchange began with conservative Twitter commentator Joe Biggs responding to a story on Swalwell’s Thursday op-ed in USA Today, titled “Ban assault weapons, buy them back, go after resisters.” “@RepSwalwell wants a war,” Biggs wrote. “Because that’s what you would get.”

     At least some European leaders, unlike the fools whose obese buttocks warm, and ultimately crack the vinyl of  the seats of Parliament House, Canberra, are aware of the demographic threat to the White West, as shown by the speech of the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán at the Congress of the European People’s Party, November 8, 2018:

     While looking at my favourite love and peace Left wing website, I found a link to this gem of an article, which gave me great joy, and hope:
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/08/year-old-man-asks-be-declared-claiming-age-is-fluid-gender/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4ad8ca759256

“That’s not enough for Emile Ratelband, a 69-year-old who feels like he’s in his 40s. The Dutch pensioner is asking a court in his hometown of Arnhem, southeast of Amsterdam, to change his birth certificate so that it says he took his first breath on March 11, 1969, rather than on March 11, 1949. The judges heard his case Monday and promised they would render a verdict in the next several weeks. Ratelband sees his request as no different from a petition to change his name or the gender he was assigned at birth — and isn’t bothered that this comparison might offend transgender people, whose medical needs have been recognized by the American Medical Association. It comes down to free will, he maintains. “Because nowadays, in Europe and in the United States, we are free people,” he said in an interview with The Washington Post. “We can make our own decisions if we want to change our name, or if we want to change our gender. So I want to change my age. My feeling about my body and about my mind is that I’m about 40 or 45.”

     As an ageing boomer, I am perhaps the exception in hating “my generation” to allude to the horrible song by The Who. Further, the symbol of the 1960s, is not so much Marty King, but Johnno Lennon. Here is a god article attacking Lennon using the Mr Yoko Ono line:
  https://affirmativeright.blogspot.com/2018/11/mr-yoko-ono.html#more

     First, Yoko did the world a favour by breaking up the appalling Beatles, who in my opinion, could hardly throw together a decent  tune. There is not much difference, to my ear, between Lennon and McCarty crooning and Yoke screaming like, someone once described it, a “badly demented child being tortured.” Yoko was right out there with her feminism and globalism, completely honest. She deserves a boiled sweet. And, I am still discovering hidden messages in Beatle’s songs, not that Paul was dead, but that something we should fear, this way comes. But, we did not move quickly enough, and got sucker punched by the cultural revolution of the 1960s. Sweet sounds hid the message of socialism:

     The arty farty class are usually the testing ground, then messengers for the foul deeds the Dark Lords of Mordor plan to inflict upon humanity. Now, it is open, that the great plan is to eliminate the nation state, having worked tireless to effectively destroy borders and bash and terrorise local populations into submission, not that a consumer-pacified population needs much to knock over:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/11/10/artists-intellectuals-proclaim-continent-wide-european-republic-replace-nation-states/

“Artists and intellectuals across Europe are calling for the founding of a continent wide republic to replace its many nation-states. Activists planned to proclaim a ‘European Republic’ in dozens of cities at 4 p.m. (1500 GMT) Saturday, almost exactly 100 years after the end of World War I. The event is being organized by a group calling itself the European Balcony Project. Its listed supporters include political scientists, philosophers and writers such as Austrian literature Nobel prize laureate Elfriede Jelinek. A manifesto on the group’s website declares that “the sovereignty of states is hereby replaced by the sovereignty of citizens.”

     The Australian has a user only pay for it article by Alan Dupont, “China on Road to a big Crash.” I would have loved to have reported on this, and at one time I could afford to buy The Australian each day, but those days are gone. It is hard enough making it to the end of each week, without doing the super-high quality research I used to do. When the big crash comes, I am preparing to eat grass.  So, using only the free resources of the community centre, let’s see what I can produce on the same theme, on the cheap; collapse journalism.

“Back in 2017, we explained why the "fate of the world economy is in the hands of China's housing bubble." The answer was simple: for the Chinese population, and growing middle class, to keep spending vibrant and borrowing elevated, it had to feel comfortable and confident that its wealth would keep rising. However, unlike the US where the stock market is the ultimate barometer of the confidence boosting "wealth effect", in China it has always been about housing as three quarters of Chinese household assets are parked in real estate, compared to only 28% in the US, with the remainder invested financial assets. … Meanwhile, in the process of reflating the latest housing bubble, another dire byproduct of this artificial housing "market" has emerged: tens of millions of apartments and houses standing empty across the country. According to Bloomberg, soon-to-be-published research will show that roughly 22% of China’s urban housing stock is unoccupied, according to Professor Gan Li, who runs the main nationwide study. That amounts to more than 50 million empty homes.

     With deplatforming and shutting down sites where there is media content that the System does not like, the call has gone out that there not merely should be regulation of Big Tech, but that these monopolies are so large that they are a danger to what remains of democratic institutions. And that is not just us, who face this threat, but the founder of the internet:

“Silicon Valley technology giants such as Facebook and Google have grown so dominant they may need to be broken up, unless challengers or changes in taste reduce their clout, the inventor of the World Wide Web told Reuters. The digital revolution has spawned a handful of U.S.-based technology companies since the 1990s that now have a combined financial and cultural power greater than most sovereign states. Tim Berners-Lee, a London-born computer scientist who invented the Web in 1989, said he was disappointed with the current state of the internet, following scandals over the abuse of personal data and the use of social media to spread hate. “What naturally happens is you end up with one company dominating the field so through history there is no alternative to really coming in and breaking things up,” Berners-Lee, 63, said in an interview. “There is a danger of concentration.”

     This is where the present system of “higher” education leads, to “weaponised education,” designed specifically to destroy traditional culture, institutions and values:

“The independence engendered by the disciplined study of logic is no longer a desired quality in students. The classroom, at best, has taken on the appearance of a fact-memorization factory; and we should express grave doubts about the relevance and truth of many of those facts. A society filled with people who float in the drift of non-logic is a society that declines. Ideologies that deny individual freedom and independence are welcomed with open arms. When education becomes so degraded that young students are no longer taught to reason clearly, private citizens have the obligation rebuild that system so the great contribution to Western civilization—logic—is reinstated in its rightful place. Logic, the key by which true political discourse, science, and law were, in fact, originally developed, must be unearthed.

To The Australian        Paul Kelly's review of David Kemp's new history of Australia reads like a sensible endorsement of a sensible study ("Brave new world: our story inspired by liberalism", 14/11). As usual, however, Kelly rather under-emphasizes the importance of conservatism in the present time. An argument can be put that by its nature liberalism tends to erode and needs regularly to be brought back to wisdom by conservatives. That erosion can be observed in the Liberal Party itself: there has been a falling away towards radicalism, leading to a dangerous split that damages the party's capacity to retain power. The most important tasks for conservatives now are to safeguard our monarchical political structure, to protect and enhance intellectual freedom and to foster honest public dialogue about matters involving ethnic and religious conflict. "Things will have to change in order to remain the same," was the wise observation of Giuseppe di Lampedusa in his great novel The Leopard. What conservatives must not do is bow to political and religious correctness, for there are important trends in our cultural life that need to be challenged and substantially revised. The power of big money over policy also needs brave attention.

     One of the sad aspects of the feminist breakdown of normal relationships, which once kept sex in marriage, is that many young men turn to porn, as it is now just too hard to deal with hyper-feminist girls. However, there is a large amount of research showing that porn has destructive impact upon the brain, as this very good article mentions in passing:
  https://www.counter-currents.com/2018/11/chuck-palahniuks-choke/#more-87439

“Sex addiction, as the narrator explains, is much like drug addiction. Orgasms release endorphins, which, much like the morphine for which they are named, serve to kill both physical and emotional pain. This can be very desirable for those with unhappy lives like Victor’s, and can cause a dependence which is difficult to break. A great deal of research has resulted in evidence that sex or pornography addiction is connected with changes in brain function and structure in a similar way to other addictions. Chronic porn use  may alter areas of the brain, including the prefrontal cortex, which is the area responsible for conscious decision-making, self-restraint, and concern for consequences. It is arguably what separates man from beast, as this area makes up much more of the human brain than that of any other animal.

     Here is yet another spin in the cultural wars; making white women feel guilty for following Trump. No stone must be left unturned:
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/11/guardian-white-women-who-vote-republican-embrace-racist-sadism/

“Trump supporters are not only deplorable, they also exhibit a “peevish, racist cruelty,” declares the Guardian newspaper Friday, which makes white women who vote Republican especially guilty. The 53 percent of white women who voted for Trump in 2016 bear out “the conventional wisdom that white women would rather choose the racism espoused by the Republican party than join in the moral coalition represented by men of color and other women,” writes Guardian columnist Moira Donegan in an over-the-top essay. While white men “support Republicans at alarming rates,” she states, white women should know better since they are themselves victims of sexism.’

     By now everybody has heard the report of a Somali-born terrorist, who stabbed three shoppers in Bourke street Melbourne, and was then shot to death by police.
