What’s all this doom and gloom stuff here, as if we and our culture are  under attack? People must really be in a bad mood this week. Is it lack of sunlight and vitamin D in Melbourne? Or, is it just  tin foil (or is it aluminium foil?) paranoia? In fact, the future is so bright that we will have to wear shades:

  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5849971/Royal-familys-gay-wedding-story-Queens-cousin-Lord-Ivar-Mountbatten.html

“The royal family is having quite the year. This spring brought the birth of Prince Louis and the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Zara Tindall is due with her baby, the Queen’s great-grandchild, any day now, and Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew will wed her fiancé Jack Brooksbank in October. But another member of the royal family just shared he’ll be tying the knot before Eugenie walks down the aisle. The Queen’s third cousin once removed, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, has announced he will marry his longtime partner James Coyle this summer. It will mark the extended royal family’s first same-sex marriage. “We’ll be pronounced partners in marriage, but the ceremony itself will be very small. It’s just for the girls and close family and friends,” Coyle explained to the Daily Mail. …While Queen has yet to comment specifically on her relative’s wedding, she has made statements in support of LGBTQ rights in the U.K. in the past. “My government will make further progress to tackle the gender pay gap and discrimination against people on the basis of their race, faith, gender, disability, or sexual orientation,” she said during her speech at the State Opening of Parliament last summer.”

     We are told by the mainstream media that the illegal migrants are desperate people, the poorest of the poor, who, armed only with their latest model mobile phones and bulging credit cards, seek … justice …
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/16/child-border-crossers-have-higher-standard-of-living-than-13m-impoverished-american-children/

“Migrant children who cross into the United States either alone or with adults have a higher standard of living once they are put into federal care than the more than 13 million American children who are living in poverty across the country. In Fiscal Year 2017, the federal government referred nearly 41,000 unaccompanied minor border crossers to the Unaccompanied Alien Children program which is facilitated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Data provided to Breitbart News reveals that each unaccompanied minor costs the federal government about $34,660 annually. This is a higher standard of living per child than the roughly 13 million American children who continue to live below the U.S. poverty line.”

     We have heard it all before, and liberals fall over themselves in excitement about the displacement of men from the workforce, and an older book dealing with this is Hanna Rosin, The End of Men and the Rise of Women, (Riverhead boks, 2012). Like that triggering title? Even under patriarchy, there was never a “ha ha” gotcha type of approach to things.
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/females-are-outperforming-males-on-every-educational-level-and-that-has-staggering-implications-for-the-future-of-our-society_06212018

“Dr. Michael Thompson told CBS News, all across America girls are outperforming boys at every educational level… “Girls outperform boys in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and graduate school,” says Dr. Michael Thompson, a school psychologist who writes about the academic problems of boys in his book, Raising Cain. He says that after decades of special attention, girls are soaring, while boys are stagnating. “Girls are being told, ‘Go for it, you can do it. Go for it, you can do it.’ They are getting an immense amount of support,” he says. “Boys hear that the way to shine is athletically. And boys get a lot of mixed messages about what it means to be masculine and what it means to be a student. Does being a good student make you a real man? I don’t think so… It is not cool.” Perhaps one of the big reasons why young males are so drawn to sports is because it allows them to do the sorts of things the come naturally to males. Sporting events allow young males to engage in battle, to hunt and to conquer. Yes, it is a simulated environment, but sporting events really do bring out something primal in young boys.”

     Another update on some of the exciting cultural events not happening in Sweden, due to sex attacks, which the mainstream media denies are significant, or show any sort of migration problem:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/06/21/swedish-bravalla-music-festival-shuts-down-good-following-wave-sex-attacks-previous-years/

“The organisers of Sweden’s largest music festival have announced that the event will come to a close after cancelling this year’s festival following a wave of sex attacks last year. Organisers FKP Scorpio announced that there are no plans to put on another Bråvalla festival again this after speculation that the festival may occur in 2019 despite being cancelled this year, Norrköpings Tidningar reports. Kajsa Apelqvist, who heads public relations for the organisation, said: “It’s a very disappointing decision to take, but the overall picture we have is that we can not develop the festival in the way we want to be relevant to our visitors in the future.” When asked about the wave of sex attacks at the festival, which resulted in the festival being cancelled this year, Apelqvist said: “We have always claimed that it is not a festival problem but a social problem. How we ensure our visitors’ safety is something we are constantly developing, and that’s something we’ll never finish.”

     Here is one for the libtards jumping up and down about you and me having guns; how about the ferals  having anti-tank weapons?
  https://nltimes.nl/2018/06/22/anti-tank-weapon-fired-amsterdam-office-building 
  https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2018/06/anti-tank-missile-fired-at-amsterdam-office-block-one-person-arrested/
  https://nltimes.nl/2018/06/22/anti-tank-weapon-fired-amsterdam-office-building

“One person has been arrested after an anti-tank weapon was fired at an office block in Amsterdam’s Sloterdijk business district on Thursday night. Eyewitnesses report hearing an enormous bang but no-one was injured and one window in the building was broken by the missile. The launcher was found in the vicinity and removed for forensic tests. Police say they have no idea why this particular building was targeted but that the suspect had cut through surveillance cameras before launching the missile. According to the Telegraaf, the office block, ONE20, is a multi-tenant building. One company based there is Pijper Media, which publishes magazines like Panorama, Nieuwe Revu, Playboy and Marie Claire.”

     We are told that there are no, no-go areas in Europe because that is a racist thought, shame on you, womp, womp. Yes, but did anyone tell Macron that?
  https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/06/france-macron-losing-control-over-islam-dominated-no-go-areas-asks-public-for-help 
  https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/06/macron-is-losing-control-over-islam-dominated-no-go-areas-in-france-asks-public-for-help/

“France’s President Emmanuel Macron admitted that France has lost the battle against drug trafficking within the growing number of no-go zones in the country. In a speech for 600 business and political guests in May, Macron called on the local mayors themselves – together with the population – to find suitable solutions, for the problems in France’s 1,500 no-go areas or ‘sensitive areas’ as France calls them. Many mayors were struck by Macron’s speech. They had expected concrete political guidelines. Macron’s proposals are a long way from the ambitious strategy for the sensitive zones that former minister Jean-Louis Borloo had previously developed and published on behalf of Macron.”

     Here is the latest sampling of US libtards going mad over the alleged separation of illegal children from parents, their latest “big thing.” Yes, and if everyone is put together, imagine the potential for rapes:
  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/12/dunkirk-child-refugees-risk-sexual-violence

     That is, of course, another argument for open borders. The point is that the libtards simply want open migration because they hate the society which has given them to many good things, and feel the need, as part of their migration religious cult, to be punished, by punishing everybody (that’s socialism!). So, the answer is to abandon the sort of consumer society which has enabled their success. It is just cancer control by nutrition and diet, on the social level. Thus, do not support the entertainment industry. Do not go to see movies, do not buy the  music and support in any way the industries feeding those who would seek to destroy Western civilisation. Don’t support any businesses openly involved in mass migration. Most of all, support the campaign to close down the universities, ground zero in the production of decadence.

     I was triggered to write this article by this article:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-06-21/student-group-tells-white-folks-stop-calling-cops

     Basically, stop bothering the police white folk, they have better things to do. Just die, quietly, please.

     There is a very simple argument for citizens having firearms for self-protection. First, violent home invasions are on the rise, and these crimes often involve multiple assailants, armed, if not with illegal guns, then with knives, machetes and other deadly melee weapons. There may simply be no time to ring the police, and even if one does, it takes time for the police to get to you. This story of a typical home invasion sums it all up:

     No doubt, there is a  new wave of affirmative action is just around the corner for Australia, since we are but a few years behind the US, so it is wise to keep a worried eye on all that is happening over the stagnant pond:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-06-20-harvard-medical-school-white-doctors-not-welcome-here-anymore-school-to-focus-on-putting-people-of-color-in-power.html

“The thing about being a “progressive” is that sooner or later, you discover you’re never quite radical enough to keep up with the “diversity” demands that dictate Leftist policies. Harvard Medical School, for example, has just announced it is ashamed of its white graduates who become doctors, and the school is in the process of removing photos of white doctors solely because they are people with white skin. “Dr. Betsy Nabel, the hospital’s president, told The Boston Globe last week that the portraits do not reflect the diversity of students at the medical school,” reports Campus Reform. “[she] suggested that so many portraits of white males may make medical students uncomfortable.” The solution? Eliminate white doctors from the halls of the school. The new priority for Harvard Medical School, its president now admits, is “putting people of color in power.” This means, of course, granting scholarships, raises and professorships to people based solely on the color of their skin rather than the merit of their actions. In other words, Harvard Medical School is now openly admitting it’s going to start producing waves of doctors who aren’t the most qualified. But they will possess certain superficial qualities — skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc. — that qualify as “diversity” in the minds of Harvard overlords.”

     The liberal elite get really excited about the idea that not only are whites fast becoming a minority, but are dying out, thanks to women’s rib, sorry Adam, I mean “lib,” and the rest of the decadent culture modern cancer capitalism mixed with cultural Marxism, has created:
  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/white-minority-population.html

“Deaths now outnumber births among white people in more than half the states in the country, demographers have found, signaling what could be a faster-than-expected transition to a future in which whites are no longer a majority of the American population. The Census Bureau has projected that whites could drop below 50 percent of the population around 2045, a relatively slow-moving change that has been years in the making. But a new report this week found that whites are dying faster than they are being born now in 26 states, up from 17 just two years earlier, and demographers say that shift might come even sooner. “It’s happening a lot faster than we thought,” said Rogelio Sáenz, a demographer at the University of Texas at San Antonio and a co-author of the report. It examines the period from 1999 to 2016 using data from the National Center for Health Statistics, the federal agency that tracks births and deaths. He said he was so surprised at the finding that at first he thought it was a mistake.

To The Australian          There are obvious weaknesses and dangers in the plan for indigenous constitutional recognition being proposed by Uphold and Recognise ("Voice plan ready, 'sense of justice' still needed", 26/6). Amendment of the Constitution "to recognise local entities" would involve a political and not moral decision to accept certain groups that appear to have an artificial nature and in fact merit no such recognition at the expense of other Australians. Any "advisory council enshrined in the Constitution" could easily become, as the thin end of the wedge, more than merely "advisory" by future legislation, especially if an ALP government comes to power. Australia does not need any official "truth-telling" process. All relevant matters can be, and are, discussed in our present free and popular forums. The proposed "process" would almost certainly be as biased as is surely the present parliamentary committee headed by two advocates for constitutional recognition. Nor should any "formal declaration of recognition" be contemplated unless it has gained a successful endorsement by referendum.

     No, no, no, there is no horrible metaphor here, no ill will, we are really talking about an invasion of rats, the size of cats. Yes, rats that big, a true indication that this is end times, and that hell is opening, or is it a measure of a world out of ecological balance?
  https://www.rt.com/news/430446-sweden-town-giant-rats/

“A Swedish city is battling a merciless enemy, rats ‘the size of cats’, prompting authorities to call on residents to keep doors and windows closed and pre-schoolchildren inside during breaks. “There aren’t the normal rats you see in the forest. They’re as big as cats,” Benny Sagmo from the planning office of Sundsvall city in northern Sweden, explained to the national TT news agency. The rats have already spread out towards a residential area, according to Sagmo. “If we don’t put a stop to it, they can get bigger and bigger…Those who live there can’t even have their front doors or balcony doors open. I’ve told pest control that we’re going all in!” he added. Residents were told to keep doors and windows closed to prevent rats from getting access to food. They were also told to avoid having food for pets outdoors. “Remember a rat can fit through a hole that is only 20 millimeters - a five-krone coin!” the warning from the city said. In the meantime, local Trädet preschool has temporarily banned children from eating or taking their naps outside. “I decided that the children should sleep inside, because we can’t risk rats jumping into the pushchairs,” headteacher Mia Löfgren told SVT Västernorrland."

     Here is today’s warning of approaching tyranny by the state: The Espionage and Foreign Interference Bill. That sounds good in principle, and has some good points. But, the Bill also has deep dark side: a prison sentence of between 20 years and life for reports that damage Australia’s international reputation or economic relations. So, the Deep State is not joking.

     The above critiques are from the Left, but don’t let that worry you. They are right on this one; namely that parts of the legislation goes way too far, and will shut down legitimate criticism of the government, which is, of course, exactly what the government is being told to do by the Deep State. What you can do is to contact all the independents and One nation, and get them moving on this one. The editor/director will kindly post some numbers for you to ring, and/or emails to send your objections to re politicians. Simply rewrite the guts of this article, namely the threat to free speech, in your own words. There is human rightsy material in some of the above articles which you can use if you want to. Good luck!

     I recently received an email from a critic who said that I was a romantic who wanted people to grow their own food hippy style. He was easily able to demolish this straw man view, typing that, well, chaps, how are we going to run an economy and agricultural industry like that? Not efficient production, production, production. Then less consumption, consumption, consumption. Talk about old paradigm. With all due respect, I am a survivalist. In my humble opinion, civilisation is headed to collapse just as prophets like Spengler predicted, but so is Asian societies. The forces of destruction have been left unaddressed too long by the normies who think like that even if they follow alternative economics. Just look at Whites in South Africa to get a feel for what the future will be. We see evidence of the same breakdown to various degrees elsewhere. Surely if we are men we should face reality and confront this truth?

     Come on, a mere economic reform is not going to deal with this issue of social decay, because to get economic reform going at ground zero presupposes that one has a minimally functioning society. Article after article is screaming a warning about the storm that is coming, and I have tried to give readers some tips about dealing with the great chaos on a personal level. Hoping to radically transform the entire economy and society tomorrow is just not going to happen. We need to be idealists in the long term, but ruthless pragmatists in the short, otherwise by not being honest, we will be condemned when things do go to hell in a basket. Thus, a little independence by growing some food at home, or keeping bees etc. etc., is a wise thing to do. It is not an attempt to change the world. The first rule for anyone is to survive the day. Speaking of hell and baskets, what are our friends the elites up to? Have they given any indication that they may be preparing for the chaos about which I speak? In fact, many of the hyper-rich are more hard-core than even me:

     For the national unity crowd, here is a good article about how the Left play dirty, and in their totalitarian equalism, seek to level anyone who gets in their way. This time the attack is taken to target Trump’s son, Barron:
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/06/22/actor-tom-arnold-vows-to-target-barron-trump-at-his-school-over-immigration-policy/

“Actor Tom Arnold jumped to Twitter to claim that he intends to show up at 12-year-old Barron Trump’s New York school and harass the child to protest President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. In his June 19 tweet, Arnold claimed that he wanted to go to the school because he thought he might see First Lady Melania Trump there with Barron. “On a plane to NY. Next is protesting Baron’s private school as well as James & Lachlan Murdoch’s kids. This is what I can do to end the abuse of these children. We’re going to make you uncomfortable,” Arnold Tweeted.”

     Here is an interesting survey, from the United States, but what interesting  research is done in sleepy old Oz anyway?
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/22/3-in-5-liberal-voters-make-america-a-refugee-camp-for-the-worlds-poor/

“More than 3-in-5 liberal voters in the United States say the country should be made into a refugee camp for the world’s poor, a new survey finds. The latest Rasmussen Report poll reveals the extent to which American liberals long for the U.S. to be a bastion of open borders and multiculturalism, serving foreign populations rather than American citizens. About 61 percent of self-identified “liberal” likely voters said they disagreed with this statement: “The United States will not be a migrant camp. And it will not be a refugee-holding facility – it won’t be.” Likewise, 59 percent of likely voters who strongly despise Trump’s populist, economic nationalist agenda said they too disagreed with the statement, indicating that they would like to see the nation transformed into a refugee camp for foreign nationals.”

     Through surfing the net in my full body rubber suit, I came across this article by philosopher Eric Dietrich, who argues this:

“Recently on the History Channel, artificial intelligence (AI) was singled out, with much wringing of hands, as one of the seven possible causes of the end of human life. I will argue that this wringing of hands is quite inappropriate: the best thing that could happen to humans, and to the rest of life on planet Earth, would be for us to develop intelligent machines and then usher in our own extinction.”

     A theme running through the articles this week is that of the dangers of the universities. Of course, this is true, but the rot starts before university now and Leftism runs right through the education system. We saw this with the Safe Schools debate, and what happened about that?  That is a good reason for going through the struggle to home school your children, if it is possible. It is a growing trend in the US, which is in a more advances state of decay than Australia, but we are catching up with them in the race to the bottom of the rubbish bin:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/homeschooling-expands-as-parents-seethe-over-liberal-social-engineering-and-violence_06072018
  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/30/homeschooling-surges-parents-seek-escape-shootings/

“Homeschooling rates are skyrocketing as parents are continually getting more and more upset at the leftist social engineering taking place in public schools.  The indoctrination is getting so bad, that some parents are even concerned about liberal violence against those who reject the brainwashing. According to The Washington Times, the recent school shooting at Parkland, Florida, was the last straw for scores of parents. The paper noted that “the phones started ringing at the Texas Home School Coalition, and they haven’t stopped yet.” “When the Parkland shooting happened, our phone calls and emails exploded,” said coalition president Tim Lambert. “In the last couple of months, our numbers have doubled. We’re dealing with probably between 1,200 and 1,400 calls and emails per month, and prior to that it was 600 to 700.” But according to Natural News, it isn’t just the rampant violence worrying some parents. 

     Syria remains a hot spot, with  Syrian air defence have down all of the missiles allegedly fired by Israel:
  https://www.rt.com/news/424333-syria-missiles-defense-homs/ 

     This time, with Russia involved, it will not be so easy, for the West has vastly under-estimated Russian military might and technological prowess. Not only that, but evidence continues to grow that the gas attacks were a false flag from the West, with war reporter Robert Fisk concluding from his investigation in Syria that the chemical attack did not occur:

     With the mood set, I turn to the task of mentioning two remarkable books in the metaphysics of the human mind, neurophilosophy: Ian McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, (Yale University Press, New Haven, 2010), and Roderick Tweedy, The God of the Left Hemisphere: Blake, Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation, (Karnac Books, London, 2013). These are big, heavy books, physically and intellectually. The Master and His Emissary, which  is  very profound, focusses upon the division of the human brain into left and right hemispheres. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and is responsible for logical, spatial and ore academic processes and reasoning, including analytic thought, logic, mathematics and science and right handed control. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and is the more “intuitive” centre, with artistic and creative properties, intuition and control of the left hand. As we know, most people are right handed, across all races, so human civilisation has been dominated by the left hemisphere, especially in the West.
