When it was announced that there was scientific research indicating that ancient Egyptians were more closely genetically related to Europeans than black Africans, the mainstream media, did not raise a murmur and let the story die quickly in one media cycle:
  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/ancient-egyptians-europeans-related-claims-a7763866.html 

     However, the claim that ancient Britons were black skinned and blue eyed excited their politically correct interests and was given maximum exposure, especially with the Black Panther movie being released. As I noted in a previous article, this movie was relentlessly promoted by the establishment, with seemingly sanctions for bad reviews:

     Everyday is another battle of words against lunar liberals. For example:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-02-17-left-wing-journalist-says-abortion-is-the-answer-to-school-shooters.html 

“Following the shooting Rebecca Griffin, a Left-wing kookwho’s been a model, TV presenter, and sports reporter, decided she’d leave her decency and conscience in a box for the day and made a nasty, manipulative statement regarding the shootings…in making the case for abortion (Cruz was reportedly adopted as a child). “Woman puts baby up for adoption, he grows up to be a violent young man who will spend the rest of his life in prison for a mass murder. Tell me more about how abortions are wrong,” she wrote.

     Britain is fast becoming a sharia society, not only by immigration numbers, but by cultural changes:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/02/17/london-sharia-fashion-show-islamic-clothing-burn-hijabs-iran/ 

“London Modest Fashion Week will “celebrate” Britain’s growing sharia-compliant fashion industry — less than two weeks after women living under Islamic fundamentalist regimes risked imprisonment when they burnt their hijabs on No Hijab Day.

     The thought of doing yoga, breath-taking stretches and the like, makes my joints ache, but not so much as political correctness about yoga:
  https://nypost.com/2018/01/29/people-who-practice-yoga-contribute-to-white-supremacy-professor-claims/ 

“White people who do a downward-facing dog are contributing to a “system of power, privilege, and oppression,” according to a Michigan State University professor. Shreena Gandhi, a religious studies professor at Michigan State, claims in an article she recently co-authored that Americans who practice yoga are contributing to white supremacy and promote the “yoga industrial complex.”

     I have heard that saying, of my title, many years ago, but remembered it whilst reading:
  https://survivalblog.com/discipline-critical-piece-emergency-preparations-j-d/

     It is apparently an old Icelandic saying, but is relevant today, as it was in the time of the Vikings. And, don’t be nervous, that is a Christian site. The above article, while addressed to survival situations is relevant to much of modern life, because we are increasingly moving into that sort of situation with rising unemployment and crime.

     Paul Kelly comments astutely on the current problems of traditionalists here (‘Bricks are falling from the conservative fortress’, 21/2), but does not penetrate to the true fault lines. One is the failure of our religious leaders to realise that a major reform of Christian sacred tradition must be undertaken. The decipherment of the Egyptian hieroglyphics and the coming together of all sacred traditions in our ‘global village’ have made this essential. A complete rethinking of the nature of Jesus and the authority of the Bible is required.

     A second major fault line has been the capitulation of too many Australians with leadership capacity to the various inroads on the principle of free speech. The firmest possible defence of intellectual freedom without reservation is also an essential for any restoration of conservative authority based on wisdom. Political bravery of the curate’s egg kind will not get us out of the mess; and the younger generations will not go out to battle while the trumpets give an uncertain sound.

     If one reads the outputs of the Western multicult immigration industry, then it immediately strikes one that immigration is the solution to all of the world’s problems. That means that refugees must all go to the West, rather than solve their own problems in their own lands, as the West did in its own developmental stage. There is bounty to share with all, and nonsense like that.

     Fortunately, not all believe that immigration can solve all of the sufferings of the world:

     It is not too difficult to come up with a list of the many rights which past Australians enjoyed, but which have been taken away from us by the political class to serve their New World Order masters. Everyone has their personal  list, but at the top must be the destruction of the Federal system by the High Court of Australia, and the centralisation of power in Canberra. This drive for centralism began immediately with the High Court’s opening, and has continued to the present day, making the states completely dependent upon Canberra. Thus, Feds were easily able to force all states into the 1996 gun grab by using the financial threat. However, the Founding Fathers never intended for the states to be politically gutted in this way. As one of the leading law papers has said about this:

“Our contention in this paper will be that Australia’s High Court, in deciding federal distribution of powers cases over the last century, culminating in the recent Work Choices case, has created an end product that looks not unlike one of Herbert’s misleading cases, although of course the High Court’s intentions have been something other than simply the reader’s amusement. Such a contention, we readily acknowledge, will come as no surprise to those familiar with the constitutional jurisprudence of the superior courts of other countries. The Australian High Court has been by no means unique in its ability, over time, to interpret the Constitution in a manner widely at variance with the intentions and expectations of its founders.

     The new marvel Black Panther movie, with a largely all-Back cast, has been given a 100 percent rating by critics (now dropping to 99 percent), making it the greatest movie ever produced in human cimematic history – according to the politically correct:
  https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/black_panther_2018/

     After all, if critics of the movie can be depicted as “racist,’” well, how can one lose:

     There is a story on the net about a guy who is attempting to refute the round earth hypothesis, and hopefully confirm the flat earth hypothesis, by flying up into the air, over 1,000 feet in his homemade rocket ship, then parachuting to the ground. It is not clear why he can’t climb a mountain to more safely do the same, but no news service would be interested. No doubt they are hoping he will kill himself. Even if one has doubts about all received media and science, probably one should accept that the earth is not a disc. Such a hypothesis is inconsistent with observed gravitational effects, and movement of the sun over the surface of the earth is not consistent with the earth being a disc (shadow measurements).

     The Bible does not require it either. The existence of flat-earthers though, is not something to be alarmed about, but rather a matter to rejoice. Although some may be motivated by a misguided view that the Bible requires it, most of these fine people are revolting against big science, which they see as corrupted by corporate interests. If these people start on the flat earth  hypothesis today, cutting their teeth, then maybe tomorrow they will be ready to take on the really meaty stuff., like climate change and 9/11, or the banking/financial sytem.

     The so-called Demographic Transition Theory, has been accepted as a matter of faith by warm-hearted, if not, bleeding heart liberals. Give massive quantities of foreign aid to countries like Africa, and their population growth rate will approximate that of the West:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition

     Economic development causes a fertility decline. But, applied to the West, the “theory” ignores a range of other variables which are probably more important, such as feminism, women’s liberation ideology, and general cultural decadence produced by the creation of a consumer society. Correlation does not prove causality. The “theory” seems to be refuted by the case of Africa, where despite masses of foreign aid, and so-called “development,” fertility rates continue to climb, so that over one third of all people on Earth will be African by 2100:

     This is one which everybody who is nervous about mobile phones, and like me, never has it on, or on them, should watch. Apparently, even in “airplane mode” the phone can still track you, or collect data about your whereabouts:
  http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/02/07/google-tracking-you-tucker-carlsons-report-silicon-valley-surveillance-capitalism

     This got me thinking about what other little tricks have been placed in the backdoor of the technologies that we have been told are irreplaceable for modern life. But, I bet they would have a job tracking John Steele, out in the scrub, in a cammo  (not “commo”) tent, probably disguised from satellites by tree cover, with himself probably covered in mud to reduce heat signatures, like Arnie in this famous movie:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktVqsBgOvBI 

     The largely Black population of Bermuda have rejected same sex marriage and their parliament has now repealed the same sex marriage law:
  https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/bermuda-repeals-same-sex-marriage/ar-BBISJ0G?li=AAgfYrC&ocid=mailsignout 

     Predictably enough, the Left are outraged about this and have demanded good old fashioned imperialist action to keep the Bermuda Triangle, well, rainbow coloured:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/02/10/left-wing-outraged-britain-wont-imperialistically-impose-lgbt-agenda-bermuda/

     This is a good article summing up the sole point of the media today: to produce mind pollution, so that the masses can be controlled, and probably ultimately eliminated as useless eaters:

“The aim of the corporate-controlled media is to limit the expansion of your awareness and trap your mind in thought loops that play in your head like subliminal tapes, saying things like “Trump is evil” or “Communism is good.” These thought loops are engineered and scripted by experts in influence conditioning who invoke root emotions of fear, love, hatred, compassion or conformity to achieve socially-policed obedience to their agendas. All things they oppose, for example, are associated with fear and hatred (Trump, border security, military defense, etc.). Meanwhile, all things they want you to swallow are painted in the language of love or compassion (LGBT agenda, climate change, open borders, etc.).”

     This is something which we are not hearing about here in Australia, the Uranium One Scandal, involving the Left’s favourites, the Clintons:

To THE AUSTRALIAN          Ian Buruma treads warily (‘Censorship risks moralistic kitsch’, 12/2) through the minefield of discussion of when, if ever, and how the community should censor works of art perceived as being tainted by immorality. His best observation is that ‘to judge the moral component of artistic expression, we must look not at the person who made it but at the work itself.’ Even then, however, it can be helpful to know something of the artist’s character and history.

     Balthus painted some of the finest paintings of last century, but not all will agree that ‘there is nothing that suggests moral depravity or abuse’ in some of his paintings of very young girls. By contrast, there is nothing unclean in Andrew Wyeth’s portraits of Siri Erickson; and we know how honourably he engaged in going about that work. Where Buruma slips badly is in his contrasting of the propaganda films of Eisenstein and Riefenstahl. Both have considerable artistic quality, but he succumbs to political correctness in allowing this only to the communist.

     I do not know how authoritative this is because I could not find any other source reference, but Melania Trump allegedly refused to enter the White House until it had been purified:

“I’m not going to go into that White House unless it has been completely exorcised,” she is said to told Pastor Begley. “They cleansed the White House. They had people in there anointing it with oil and praying everywhere, because apparently during the eight years when Obama was there, and maybe even some of the presidents before him, there were all kinds of idol gods and images and all kinds of artifacts in there that were demonic, even some of the stuff from the Clinton era.”

     So, the majority of Millennials do not know how to boil a light bulb or change an egg…wait, senile me, I got that wrong, change a light bulb and boil an egg:
  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4338132/Milennials-don-t-know-change-light-bulb.html

     The British survey showed that most, quite capable in the use of IT equipment, failed at practical domestic tasks. The survey did not venture outside of the comfortable domestic sphere, but if one considered basic survival skills previous surveys indicate that Millennials lack these skills too:

To THE AGE          Bill Shorten’s announcement (‘Labor supports Indigenous “Voice to Parliament”’, 13/2) that, if elected to power, the ALP will legislate to create such an entity ‘as a first step’, involves an irresponsible and dangerous campaign for the constitutional division of our nation. We should remember the 2002 warning of former minister for Aboriginal affairs, Peter Howson, that such a separatist agenda is ‘counterproductive to achieving genuine reconciliation and ‘has produced much misery among remote Aboriginal communities.’

     He also pointed out that ‘the reconciliation some presently pursue has become a weapon to wield against the traditional concept of Australia.’ Shorten’s proposal is not in our national interests and appears to be a sneaky way of getting around public resistance which he defames as ‘scare campaigns’. History shows (France in 1789, Russia in 1917) that foolish idealism leads to disaster.

     Perhaps readers, who like me, are critics of “our” decadent, decaying universities, may find this item amusing: a US teacher, in a US college, was sacked over a dispute with a student about whether Australia is a country:
  https://www.rt.com/news/418447-university-lecturer-australia-not-country/

“Southern New Hampshire University has fired a lecturer who insisted that Australia was a continent – but not a country – and took some time to conduct “independent research” into the issue before reviewing a student’s paper. Ashley Arnold, 27, who is studying toward an online sociology degree at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), was “shocked” to learn she had failed an assignment, part of which required students to compare social norms between the United States and any other country – in her case Australia. Arnold was downgraded because her professor believed “Australia is a continent; not a country.”
