Tony Abbott is right – Australia should quit the Paris Climate Treaty. China, India, Russia, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia will ignore Paris. USA has already quit and Japan even withdrew from the Kyoto Treaty. Germany will fail to meet its obligations and Poland will not try very hard. France relies heavily on nuclear power and naturally supports imposing Paris handicaps on competitors. Australia has huge coal, gas, oil and uranium resources. To export these, while we hobble our industries with windmill power, is insane.

     While the West worries about transgender toilets, the Chinese military seem to have moved beyond a bullet-fired rifle to technology right out of Star Wars:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/china-has-new-laser-powered-rifle-that-can-literally-set-you-on-fire_07022018

“If you tick off the Chinese government, they just might send soldiers armed with “non-lethal” laser-powered rifles that will set you to fire to correct your behavior.   According to South China Morning Post, the new high-tech weapon is dubbed the ZKZM-500 and the “laser assault rifle” has similar dimensions to that of the AK-47. The weapon allegedly weighs about 3 kilograms (6.6lbs) with a “caliber of 15 millimeters” and it is powered by rechargeable lithium batteries that allow for 1,000 “zaps” that last 2 seconds long each. From 800 meters (about half a mile) away or less, the rifle can burn through a target’s clothes and skin and, if their clothes are flammable, set them on fire, according to reporting done by The South China Morning Post. ZKZM-500 is reportedly now ready for mass production and to be used by China’s military and police only (not a big surprise there since we all know that the slaves don’t get any form of protection against the ruling class). But maker ZKZM Laser hasn’t found a licensed partner yet. So it may be some time still before the Chinese police and military start setting those who irritate them by living freely on fire.”

     There is now an open expression of the meaning of mass immigrationism, provoked by president Trump’s mild (compared to China and the rest of Asia) border control policies. I noticed that the socialists here are now illegally putting up posters at bus shelters clearly stating that there must be open borders. Of course, the system will never prosecute them for breaking the law putting these posters up in the first place, because in essence, for Australia, open borders is what the elites want, for short term profits, such as with real estate. We do not know if their brains are wired to think about long term consequences, given that they are globalists, and simply migrate themselves to another place once they have destroyed one country, South Arica being an example.

     Then we have the mainstream Christian churches coming out, giving the same rhetoric of open borders as the socialists, and in fact, their social  structure now has been long taken over by socialism:

To The Australian (07/07/2018)          While it is important for Australia to protect religious freedom and get the balance right between competing idealisms, it is more important for our long-term national welfare for religious-minded citizens to live and speak in such ways as are likely to increase respect for the holy and the sacred in future generations. This means a willingness to concede that significant aspects of so-called orthodox theology (whether Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant) are not in fact true teaching and need to be gradually dispensed with. Old-fashioned belief, as Dan Tehan notes ("Let's protect belief", 6-7/7), is losing ground and is likely to continue to do so. Protecting it is palliative only.
     Christian and Muslim leaders, in particular, need to encourage openness to the non-verbal, non-authoritarian approaches of Eastern sacred traditions such as Taoism, Hinduism and Buddhism, to say nothing of their own mystical heritages such as Sufism and mediaeval contemplation as taught by Eckhart and Boehme. They also need to invoke more often modern writers such as Jung, Campbell and Guenon, who have penetrated deeply into the mysterious conjunctions of the divine and the human.

     The breakdown of American institutions is proceeding rapidly, so Australians need to pay close attention to what happens, because when giants fall, the ground trembles. Here is the US legal system in action:
  http://www.collapse.news/2018-06-26-in-libtard-infested-berkeley-court-trials-are-now-straight-out-of-idiocracy.html

“A liberal jury and judge in Berkeley, California, has issued a ruling of “not guilty” for five Antifa thugs who nearly murdered a man during a violent political clash that took place in the city’s Civic Center Park back on March 4, 2017. According to Berkeleyside.com, the jury had already unanimously decided “early on” that the five defendants who provoked and physically attacked Trump supporters at the “March on Berkeley” event were not guilty of committing any crimes – even though they were visibly seen doing so – but they went through the motions of a trial anyway. In case you missed all of the details, anti-Trump Antifa extremists decided to launch full-scale war on Trump supporters who attended a series of what would have otherwise been peaceful marches in Berkeley in support of the president. One Trump supporter in particular by the name of Moshe Daniel Quillinan bore the brunt of this violent assault, sustaining injuries to his head that could have killed him.

     Feminists are going to hate this, especially since this sort of red pill material is increasingly getting out in the mainstream press:
  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5908839/Women-hard-wired-meaning-sexist-men-attractive.html

“Women are more attracted to men who are sexist because they think they are more willing to protect them, provide for them and commit to a relationship, scientists say. Men who are considered to be sexist in a well-meaning way – for example if they are chivalrous or think women need a man to protect them – may be more attractive. Even though women find these men patronising and can feel undermined by them, they are more likely to want to couple up with them than with men who don’t give them special treatment. Researchers say women may be hard-wired to think the benefits of being with a kind but sexist man outweigh the downsides. The scientists maintain that, despite romantic and flattering elements of the relationship, even well-meaning sexism reinforces the idea women are inferior. And even women who consider themselves strong feminists showed the same preferences in the study by British and US researchers.”

     Remember the early rhetoric about immigration and multiculturalism? The idea was to allow maximum ethno-racial diversity within the framework of democratic capitalism. Same core values, just different coloured people to replace weak, deracinated Anglo Saxons, who due to white pathology would never think tribally like every other group. The endgame of this program is, of course, a radical transformation of the society, if not civilisation:

“A Dutch government report published in June showed that Muslims in the Netherlands are becoming more religious. The report, based on information from 2006-2015, is a study of more than 7,249 Dutch nationals with Moroccan and Turkish roots. Two thirds of the Muslims in the Netherlands are from Turkey or Morocco. According to the report, 78% of Moroccan Muslims pray five times a day, as do 33% of Turkish Muslims. Approximately 40% of both groups visit a mosque at least once a week. More young Moroccan women wear a headscarf (up from 64% in 2006 to 78% in 2015) and large majorities of both groups eat halal (93% of Moroccan Muslims and 80% of Turkish Muslims). 96% of Moroccan Muslims say that faith is a very important part of their lives, whereas the number is 89% for Turkish Muslims. The number of Dutch Moroccan Muslims who can be described as strictly adhering to Islam has increased from 77% in 2006, to 84% in 2015. For Turkish Muslims, the numbers have increased from 37% to 45%. There are few secular Muslims -- 7% among Turkish Muslims, 2% among Moroccan Muslims.

     I have been reporting on the Pope’s globalist and communist comments for some time now, most of these remarks relating to immigration, and how he welcomes the Islamic transformation of Europe. Naturally, there has been a reaction to this, no, not my comments, which are generally ignored, but the no-hope Pope’s:
  https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/07/04/italian-church-faces-growing-divide-between-prelates-people-immigration/

“As the Italian hierarchy aligns itself ever more closely with the open-borders movement, the country’s citizens — most of whom are Catholic — seem to be moving in the opposite direction, creating a curious lay-clerical split. Italy’s interior minister, Matteo Salvini, is now the most trusted politician in the country by a significant margin, a position he has earned above all by his firm stance against unchecked mass migration. Yet when Salvini refused debarkation rights in late June to the NGO vessel Aquarius that was carrying hundreds of African migrants, the Italian bishops were among those protesting most loudly.”

     Political correctness is in overdrive now, as Facebook censors a passage from the US Declaration of Independence:

     The “hate speech” is apparently this:

     All my life I have believed in the coming ice age, whether there was evidence for it or not. Shivers,   most global warming freaks believe in their myth without evidence or understanding the science, so why can’t I be able to do the same? Anyway things are cool, and getting cooler in some parts of the world, so how can such coldness be found in a world which is supposed to be melting? You tell me?
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/30/scientists-observe-coldest-temperatures-ever-on-earths-surface/

“Researchers released a report this week revealing “ultralow surface temperatures” in East Antarctica that surpass the coldest temperatures ever recorded on the earth’s surface. The lowest measured air temperature on earth is −89.2 °C (−129 F) on 23 July 1983, observed at Vostok Station in Antarctica, but new data published in Geophysical Research Letters this week, has found that some 100 different locations on the East Antarctic Plateau reached temperatures of -98° C (-144° F) during the Antarctic polar night between 2004–2016. A team from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder have identified the East Antarctic Plateau — a massive, empty expanse the size of Australia that begins near the South Pole — as the coldest place on the planet. The East Antarctic Plateau sits some 3,500 m (11,500 ft) above sea level and the air over the Plateau is extremely still, dry and thin, providing an ideal environment for extreme cold.”

     The climate alarm media, the bureaucracy and the Green Energy industry follow an agenda which is served by inflating any short-term weather event into a climate calamity. They should take a long-term view. Earth’s climate is never still – it is always changing, with long-term trends, medium-term reversals and minor oscillations. Humanity is best served by those who use good science to study geology, astronomy and climate history searching for clues to climate drivers and the underlying natural cycles and trends hidden in short-term weather fluctuations. For the last 10,000 years Earth has basked in the Holocene Interglacial which is the latest of many warm cycles within the Pleistocene Ice Age. There are small warm and cool cycles within the Holocene. Today we enjoy the Modern Warm Cycle (which started about calendar 1900) following the Little Ice Age which bottomed in about 1750. What does the future hold? The past gives clues to the future.

     I just love plastic, and collect all sorts of plastic objects, such as broken toys, pieces of random junk, and of course bottles, which I sell to keep this vast journalistic operation afloat. Now I have been told by the UN, personally, of all people, that soon there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish, probably because of my white privilege:
http://www.collapse.news/2018-07-03-by-2050-our-oceans-will-have-more-plastic-than-fish.html
https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/world-environment-day-un-plastic-pollution-waste-ban-bags-recycling-a8384311.html

“Plastic has been highlighted as one of the biggest environmental threats facing the world by the UN in a call to action issued to mark World Environment Day. While emphasising the success of many international efforts to tackle plastic waste, the organisation described how the “scourge of plastic” has reached every corner of the Earth. In a report billed as the most comprehensive yet to examine global government strategies against the “scourge”, UN experts called for concerted action to “beat plastic pollution”. Levies and bans – of the kind already being rolled out for some plastic products in the UK – were found to be among the most effective strategies for dealing with the problem. Presenting case studies from more than 60 countries, the UN analysis explored the different strategies being implemented and suggested measures that policymakers can take to curb the problem.”

     Wow, this story hits home about the agenda of the elites, as exemplifies by B. Hussein Obama, key puppet of the globalists. He is the mentality of the elites, that ordinary people must be controlled like sheep, because, well, they are sheep, are they not? If it acts like a sheep, then for all effective purposes it is a sheep.

“Obama Filmed At Bilderberg: ‘US Must Surrender To New World Order’

     Conservatives, but not the commo loving Left, have been celebrating President Trump’s victory in seemingly diverting a war with North Korea. But it may be too soon to let down the guard, as North Korea is busy working away on its nuclear programme:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/satellite-images-north-korea-continues-to-upgrade-nuclear-facility_06282018

“Satellite images show that the North Korean regime is continuing to make improvements to its nuclear facility in the wake of Kim Jong-Un’s meeting with Donald Trump. North Korea has made rapid improvements to the infrastructure at its Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center. According to an analysis published by 38 North, a prominent North Korea monitoring group, Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center is a facility used to produce weapons-grade fissile material. Commercial satellite imagery from June 21 indicates that improvements to the infrastructure at North Korea’s Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center are continuing at a rapid pace. Modifications to the 5 MWe plutonium production reactor’s cooling system appear complete, but a less-than-normal cooling water discharge from the outfall pipe makes a determination of the reactor’s operational status difficult.

     Evolutionary biologist and Marxist, Richard Lewontin, was credited for conceptually undermining the notion of human races, for a time:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genetic_Diversity:_Lewontin%27s_Fallacy
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Lewontin

     The argument, employed by this Marxist, was that the majority of genetic diversity is found between populations, not races, so no justification could be made for continual use of racial categories. As such the argument was incoherent in the face of it, since, it assumed the existence of races to begin the analysis. It found that 85.4 percent of genetic variation is between populations, while 8.3 percent of the variance is between races. All that shows is that there is more genetic variance between individuals that between races, which if true is nothing much to write home about, since individuals are extremely diverse. The argument was criticised by A.  Edwards:

     It is to be expected, when immigration comes up as the number one issue in front of the sacred economy, the globalists get mighty scared and roll out the propaganda thick, as shown here:
  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/20/business/economy/immigration-economic-impact.html

     However, the flood of migrants is not inevitable and is itself a political creation of the existing tyrannical regime. In Europe and the US, criticism of this swamping is beginning to take place, while Australia, well, we just sleep like sheep:

     No, no, I don’t mean this literally, like the Left would, only as a literary metaphor,   I just want to work in the Paul Hogan BBQ  theme:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95OovSKEtfs 
  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jul/19/barbecue-normal-men-sexist
  http://www.dailylife.com.au/news-and-views/dl-opinion/the-sexual-politics-of-meat-20130320-2gfx0.html

     The point being made here is that men get together over the BBQing of meat, and that is sexist because anything that men do that feminists don’t like is sexist. Well, the best refutation of this is for men everywhere to get out and have lots of men-dominated BBQs, eating mountains of red meat, entire steers in fact. I will forget about health issues just to see this. Then, maybe men can regain some manhood and fight back against al the nonsense that we write about to warn people, daily.

     Here is another one of those stories indicating that the politically correct system is starting to implode, feeding on its own nonsense:

“Scarlett Johansson’s upcoming movie already has fans talking ... and not in a good way. The “Lost in Translation” actress has signed on to star in “Rub & Tug,” which is being billed as an “American Hustle”–like mob drama. Directed by Rupert Sanders, the film is based on the life of Dante “Tex” Gill (to be played by Johansson), who ran an empire of massage parlors in Pittsburgh’s underground sex industry in the 1970s. While Gill’s gender identity has been described differently in various publications, most believe the crime boss identified as transgender. After news of Johansson’s casting broke Monday, many people expressed frustration on social media that a cisgender performer has once again been hired for a trans role. “Look, I’ve really liked Scarlett Johansson in some of her films, but I think the actor playing a trans man should BE a trans man if at all possible,” one person tweeted, adding that the actress “seems to need to learn that not ALL roles belong to her.” Wrote another, “Scarlett Johansson fancies herself intellectual but she refuses to learn anything.”

     This I found interesting; older Feminist once opposed abortion, seeing abortion as contrary to women’s rights.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_feminism#19th-century_feminists

“Feminist anti-abortion groups say they are continuing the tradition of 19th-century women’s rights activists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Victoria Woodhull, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Alice Paul who considered abortion to be an evil forced upon women by men. The newspaper, The Revolution, published by Susan B. Anthony and Stanton, carried letters, essays and editorials debating many issues of the day, including articles decrying “child murder” and “infanticide.” According to historians A. Kennedy and K. D. Mary, Alice Paul felt that abortion was the “ultimate exploitation of women” and worried about female babies being aborted. Kennedy and Mary also say that Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in the United States, became a doctor because of her passionate hatred for abortion.[16] By way of criticism, however, sociologists Nicole Beisel and Tamara Kay have written that white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) in the US were worried that continued abortions by their kind would endanger their position at the top of society’s hierarchy, especially fearing the influx of Irish Catholics, but also concerned about African Americans, and describe Anthony and Stanton as part of this reactionary racial stance.

     Nearing retirement, I am as cranky as ever, but still delight in the occasional juicy legal story, like when globalists get sued:
  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/07/exclusive-german-opposition-party-files-charges-against-seven-ngos-for-human-trafficking-including-doctors-without-borders/

“The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has filed criminal charges against seven German NGO’s for human trafficking — including Doctors Without Borders. The groups being charged are Against SOS Mediterranee, Sea-Watch, Doctors without Borders Germany, Save The Children Germany, Jugend Rettet (all Berlin), Mission Lifeline (Dresden) and Sea-Eye (Regensburg). The controversial NGOs have come under scrutiny lately for their efforts picking up illegal immigrants off the coast of Libya under the pretense they are “being rescued from drowning” and bringing them to Europe. The Italian government recently announced that they are closing their ports to these “humanitarian” ships in an effort to stop the illegal migration. Malta has since impounded multiple Sea-Watch vessels that are sponsored by the Lutheran Church in Germany using taxpayer funds.”
