When Trump is good, he is very, very good, but when he is bad, he is wicked. However, on the question of vaccination freedom, he has been a leader, standing up against the power of Big Pharma:

“The Conscience and Religious Freedom Division has been established to restore federal enforcement of our nation’s laws that protect the fundamental and unalienable rights of conscience and religious freedom. OCR is the law enforcement agency within HHS that enforces federal laws protecting civil rights and conscience in health and human services, and the security and privacy of people’s health information. The creation of the new division will provide HHS with the focus it needs to more vigorously and effectively enforce existing laws protecting the rights of conscience and religious freedom, the first freedom protected in the Bill of Rights.”

To THE AUSTRALIAN          On the matter of Shakespeare’s Hamlet it seems from Barry Gillard’s review of Rhodri Lewis’s Hamlet and the Vision of Darkness (‘The madness of knowing thyself’, 10-11/2) that Lewis, far from having broken free of the ‘many confines, wards and dungeons’ of the ‘solely scholarly or academic’, has become trapped there. A few simple corrections are in order. It is untrue that in Elsinore ‘no distinct framework for genuine virtue is apparent.’ We have the integrity of Hamlet himself, shown repeatedly in his behaviour, though spoiled by his psychological illness (which he labels as being ‘passion’s slave’). We also have the sterling fidelity of Horatio, the loyalty of the common soldiers and the memory of the excellent kingship of Hamlet’s father.

     Secondly, we cannot ‘cease to view the play as a tragedy based around a young man’s inability to make decisions’ without ignoring central segments of the drama. Shakespeare emphasized the delay by contrasting Hamlet’s soliloquy in Act Two with his later one in Act Four. Ernest Jones has provided the best and most comprehensive case study of the character, though his ‘solution’ of Freud’s dubious ‘Oedipus complex’ need not be accepted. Shakespeare was not ‘intolerant of late 16th century humanist conventions’; in his work as a whole he honours both kinds of knowledge of oneself mentioned by Gillard. In Hamlet he wrote with admirable understanding and compassion of a young man’s nervous breakdown, clearly precipitated by his mother’s infidelity. That, of course, is the ‘tragic flaw’ of this particular play.

To THE AGE          Campaigns against ‘the far right’ need to be undertaken with caution (‘White pride blurs thin blue line’, 12/2). The term itself assumes wrongly that all political positions espoused by activists can be accurately plotted on a straight line. In reality, it is not as simple as that. The regimes of Hitler, Stalin and Mao had several very unpleasant features in common.

     The wielding of an armoury of pejorative terms (‘white supremacists’, ‘neo-Nazi’, ‘racist extremists’ and so on) is too often used unfairly against decent and honourable conservatives of Caucasian ancestry legitimately seeking to protect their peoples, religion, history and cultures in unsympathetic or hostile environments.  There is something, too, of the turncoat in people like Christian Picciolini which smells a bit.

     Conservative websites are celebrating Trump’s food boxes:

““The Trump administration is proposing to save billions in the coming years by giving low-income families a box of government-picked, nonperishable foods every month instead of food stamps. White House OMB Director Mick Mulvaney on Monday hailed the idea as one that kept up with the modern era, calling it a “Blue Apron-type program” — a nod to the high-end meal kit delivery company that had one of the worst stock debuts in 2017 and has struggled to hold onto customers. Mulvaney said the administration’s plan would not only save the government money, but also provide people with more nutritious food than they have now. …”

     I am not one to apply to the state of Israel a higher standard for the evaluation of actions that I would to any other nation. Further, I believe that Israel has a right to exist, and I reject the trendy Leftist notion that the Palestinian are guilt-free victims; Middle East politics is complicated and cannot be reduced to the simplistic game played by the Left in our universities. With a new term almost here, posters went up at my old university, where I make use of the library, about the Palestinian girl, Ahed Tamimi, who has been arrested, after an early hour raid at her home, for slapping an Israeli soldier after her 15 year old cousin was shot in the head:

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/ahed-tamimi-palestinian-girl-charged-assault-punching-slapping-israel-soldier-video-a8137096.html 

     But, this video shows Tamimi hitting and kicking Israel soldiers on another occasion, with the men not responding even after having their faces slapped:

     We are not surprised to hear almost anything coming from the politically correct land of Canada, which seems to have a national death wish, rivalled only by Sweden. The latest is to change the national anthem so that all male pronouns are removed:
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/02/02/canada-changing-national-anthem-remove-male-pronouns-make-lyrics-gender-neutral/

     I must admit that I was surprised because surely the really inclusive thing to have done would have been to put the entire 32 genders into the song, so that the song became a song about gender. No wonder humanity has not yet got a colony on Mars.

     The great memo is out, and here is what Natural News.com had to say, in part about this “treason” by the Deep State to keep Trump out of the White House:

“The shocking revelations uncovered in yesterday’s release of the FISA memo reveal a pattern of treason among top officials at the FBI and DOJ, warns  Congressman Paul Gosar of Arizona. The FISA memo documented how the most powerful law enforcement elements of the United States government were weaponizedunder President Obama to illegally spy on Republican political targets. A secret FISA warrant application that gained approval for the spying operation was fraudulently engineered, relying largely on a fictional “dossier” of salacious lies that was largely funded by the Clinton campaign.

     Read any good books lately? Well, yes,  I have, Jordan Peterson’s latest book, 12 Rules for Life, (Random House, 2018), which is hot from the press. I was delighted to get the review copy of this from our noble editor in Adelaide, who posted this great work to me in steamy Melbourne. Readers will need no introduction to this Canadian intellectual, who has attacked all aspects of poetical, sorry I mean political  correctness, yet has still landed on his feet, so far. He has demolished feminists with ease, using cold fresh logic.

     They simply cannot stand this, being used to hysterical screaming, chanting and other irrelevant devices. If you go to YouTube you can see all of his videos, which are sheer delights. We at this site are very impressed with this youngish man (compared to old timers like me), and look forward to others joining the fight once they see that the system has feet of clay.

     I have mentioned the movement 120db:
  www.120db.info
which is a fast growing movement of German women fighting back against the rape of European women by migrants. Feminists have not only failed to speak out against this genocide, but have worked with the Left to actively suppress discussion, as this video in English mentions:
  https://www.counter-currents.com/2018/02/video-of-the-day-german-women-denounce-migrant-violence-and-political-betrayal/

     In dramatic images, it tells it all for those who still “just don’t get it,” or have their heads buried in the sand. Required homework for today.

     It is now well known that their universities engage in brainwashing of students, primarily by the time old method of indoctrination. But, things have moved to a whole new level, with the use of Soviet-style psycho technics, as seen in the old movie Clockwork Orange, to force them to be politically correct:
  https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/39393/ 

“Some San Diego State University students are undergoing what organizers acknowledge is a “disturbing” series of “sensory experiences” in an attempt to drive out students’ prejudicial tendencies and help make them less oppressive. The annual workshop, “Journey to a Shared Humanity,” is described on the university’s website as a way for organizers to get students to “step outside their comfort zone and into the shoes of those who are struggling with oppressive circumstances.” This year, some students were required to attend the event as part of their classes. During the experience, students are walked through a darkened multipurpose room to view a series of theatrical vignettes acted out by campus leaders.”

     We live in strange times. While women are being openly raped in Europe, and young White children, by the millions groomed by rape gangs in Britain, there has been a growing movement to out and expose powerful men, mainly in the US entertainment industry for sexual misadventures. We have covered the #MeeToo movement before, noting that there are certainly legitimate cases of rape and that the men responsible need to be brought before the law.  However, as observed by Claire Berlinski in a recent article at The American Interest, these fully legitimate concerns have ballooned out of all proportion, and have grown into another feminist assault upon men:

“If you are reading this, it means I have found an outlet that has not just fired an editor for sexual harassment. This article circulated from publication to publication, like old-fashioned samizdat, and was rejected repeatedly with a sotto voce, “Don’t tell anyone. I agree with you. But no.” Friends have urged me not to publish it under my own name, vividly describing the mob that will tear me from limb to limb and leave the dingoes to pick over my flesh. It says something, doesn’t it, that I’ve been more hesitant to speak about this than I’ve been of getting on the wrong side of the mafia, al-Qaeda, or the Kremlin?

     No, this college is fortunately not named after me, but
  http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/41543/ 

“Reed College leaders have agreed to revise a mandatory freshman humanities course focused on the Western Canon in the wake of a protracted student protest campaign against the class that decried it as too “Caucasoid” and “Eurocentric.”

     This has been the pattern of immigration in Australia, Europe and America: to adopt the Fabian strategy of the inevitability of gradualism, and to begin the process of ethno-racial displacement, slowly at first, then accelerate it:

  http://www.westernspring.co.uk/the-coudenhove-kalergi-plan-the-genocide-of-the-peoples-of-europe/

     An example of this is Belgium:

     As I have said many times when doing these “critique of the Pope” articles, there is seldom a day that goes by without some comment from him, or some story about him, to infuriate me, a suffering ex-Catholic. Here is the latest:
  https://www.rt.com/news/417997-pope-francis-chile-sex-letter/ 

“Pope Francis is under fire for his handling of a clerical sexual abuse scandal. A report has emerged saying the pontiff was handed a letter from a Chilean abuse victim detailing his ordeal and a cover-up of alleged crimes.
In the letter, seen by AP, Juan Carlos Cruz says he is a victim of cleric Fernando Karadima’s abuse in the 1980s, detailing the kissing and fondling he claims to have suffered. Additionally, Cruz accuses Karadima’s fellow priest Juan Barros (whom Francis appointed to lead the Diocese of Osorno in 2015) of witnessing the horrific, humiliating abuse and ignoring it.

     Should our politically correct prime minister, Mal Turnbull be deported for anti-migrant comments and policies? What universe are we now in?
  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5351805/PM-minister-playing-African-youth-crime-problem.html 

“An African community leader has called for Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton to be deported from the country for their comments on Sudanese crime in Melbourne. South Sudanese Community Association spokesman Richard Deng said he was sick of government leaders exaggerating the threat of youth crime in Victoria. ‘Peter Dutton and Malcolm Turnbull, you need to be deported,’ Mr Deng told a crowd of several-hundred at a rally in Melbourne on Sunday. ‘We are all Australians ... if you do not stop what are you doing, we are going to send you back to where you come from.”

     I got an email about a new game which one can play with Google Images, called, “where is  whitey?” Type in anything involving White/ European people that is not negative, and up comes a majority of Black people. Try “white inventors,” “American inventors,” “white American mathematicians,” “historic Europeans,” and anything you like. Then type in “white women with their boyfriends,” “white couples,” and you will see a majority of couples of mixed race.

     I found “white couples,” the most revealing, indicating that some computer care has been put into carefully cooking the books. But wait! What happens when you type in “evil white racists”! Whoaaah, that looks like the Donald Trump page! This shows the great dangers of monopolies, and especially one’s controlled by those with a globalist politically correct agenda, and an arguable bias against white conservatives:

     Journalist Katie Hopkins was in South Africa reporting on racially motivated crimes for Rebel Media. She was hospitalised for a seizure, but upon release had her passport taken away and now is likely to be charged with the politically correct crime of “spreading racial hatred.” All that for reporting on how the South African authorities are openly permitting murders of White farmers. Even exposing this now amounts to “racism,” which shows the direction the white genocide programme is proceeding.

     An analysis by The Washington Post has shown that President Trump’s plan cut to legal immigration of over 20 million migrants, will postpone the coming white minority by one to five years, so that non-Hispanic whites will be a minority in the land they primarily built by 2045-2049, instead of 2044 or sooner:

     The response by US academics has been predictable:

     This one was sent to me by our noble director, it is based on the US, but it applies just as well to Australia, or much of the West as well:

(1) Isn’t it weird that in America, our flag and our culture offend so many people, but our benefits don’t?
(2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back student loans when illegal aliens are receiving a free education?
(3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled “racists” and “Nazis,” but illegal aliens are called “Dreamers.”
(4) Liberals say, “If confiscating all guns saves just one life, it’s worth it.”  Well, then, if deporting all illegals saves just one life, wouldn’t that be worth it?
(5) I can’t quite figure out how you can proudly wave the flag of another country, but consider it punishment to be sent back there.
(6) The Constitution: It doesn’t need to be rewritten, it needs to be reread.
(7) William F. Buckley said: “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other points of view, and are then shocked and offended when they discover there are other points of view.”
(8) Joseph Sobran said: “‘Need’ now means wanting someone else’s money. ‘Greed’ means wanting to keep your own. ‘Compassion’ is when a politician arranges the transfer.” 
(9) Florida has had 119 hurricanes since 1850, but some people still insist the last one was due to climate change.”

     The Australian media are not reporting on it, but Europe has slid into a state of civil war, with the battle grounds being almost every street. France:

“French Interior Minister Gérard Collomb described the level of violence in Calais as “unprecedented.” He attributed the fighting to an escalating turf war between Afghan and Kurdish gangs seeking to gain control over human trafficking between Calais and Britain, which many migrants view as “El Dorado” because of its massive underground economy….Hundreds of Africans and Asians armed with knives and iron rods fought running street battles in the northern port city of Calais on February 1, less than two weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron visited the area and pledged to crack down on illegal immigration.
