Back in 1992, Francis Fukuyama proclaimed that history was over with the victory of liberal democracy and consumer capitalism, in his book, The End of History and the Last Man:
  https://www.amazon.com/End-History-Last-Man/dp/0743284550

     He did not anticipate the radical jihadist challenge, mass migration and white genocide, or the populist revolt against these things:

     Young men are told to drink their soy, and to dilute their “toxic masculinity,” because women like weak, sensitive guys. There is even a move to promote “cuckolding,” as part of the new politically correct gender relations for the last remaining heterosexual males:

  https://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/25/health/cuckolding-sex-kerner/index.html

     The problem is that women do not like these soy boy males, but instead, go for the traditional John Wayne style man:

     I have discussed this some time back, but the topic is important enough to revise: the decline in the quality of sperm throughout the developed world:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/the-human-race-could-be-infertile-in-50-years-a-push-for-depopulation-will-be-global-crisis_01302018 

“Last summer, scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that male sperm counts had fallen by almost 60 per cent in 40 years. In what was the largest study of its kind, they analysed data from 43,000 men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, taking in 185 studies from 1973 to 2011. Its lead author, Dr Hagai Levine, decreed the result an ‘urgent wake-up call’.”

     Want proof of fake news? Well, here it is:

“German public broadcaster ARD has been blasted after admitting it “boosted” the sound of booing at the speech given by U.S. President Donald Trump late last week.
President Trump gave his speech at Davos on Thursday, again delivering sharp criticism to the mainstream media. He stated: “it wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious, and how fake the press can be.”

     Everyday various internet sites report on violent attacks/sexual assaults in Europe, with a focus on recently arrived migrants:

  https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/01/europes-hope-austria-joins-eastern-europes-anti-immigration-bloc/#.WnDG7xEjTyY.twitter

     These attacks have led to a massive rise in small arms sales in Germany:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-01/arms-german-small-arms-ownership-soars-85-under-2-years 
which I was surprised to read given the generally strong anti-gun nature of socialist Europe. Nevertheless, the fear is out there.

     Another day, and like everything else, the power elites march ahead relentlessly with the gender agenda. As an example, the terms “husband” and “wife” are now being red-flagged even in Catholic universities, even with gay marriage, which is a sign of the times:
  http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/02/01/catholic-university-of-dayton-warns-against-terms-husband-wife-because-they-arent-gender-inclusive/

     This worldwide trend has not been without criticism, with critics seeing it as the product of an “intellectual disease,” with the hatred of the West being the new “cool”:

     There has been much angst here from the Left about Trump building a wall, but Israel has built a wall which has been successful in keeping unwanted people out, and good for them:
  http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2018/02/01/caroline-glick-israel-can-teach-america-dealing-illegal-aliens-wall-deport/
  https://gellerreport.com/2018/02/majority-americans-want-southern-wall-keep-illegals-cbs-poll.html/ 

     It is not widely known, walls are being built by various South American countries for the same reason Trump wants one, namely to keep people out:

     Here we go again, with the commo Pope:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/10/01/pope-francis-tells-migrants-you-are-warriors-of-hope/

“Pope Francis flew to Bologna, Italy, Sunday and met with a large group of migrants and refugees, calling them “warriors of hope” while insisting that nations open broader avenues for immigration. During a full day in Bologna, Francis spent an hour meeting hundreds of migrants personally while posing with them for selfies under light drizzle. Later, the pontiff hosted a luncheon for asylum-seekers and prisoners in the St. Petronius basilica. He even donned a yellow plastic ID bracelet used by asylum-seekers to express his solidarity with them. “Do you know what you are? You are ‘warriors of hope’!” Francis exclaimed during his address to the many migrants present, urging them not to give in to disappointment or despair.”

     I guess it is real easy to be optimistic about the future when you have so much money that you can just throw bags of it away, to suitable beneficiaries, as Bill Gates does. Now, he is telling all who will listen that the AI revolution will take away all jobs, but, not to worry, all will be well:
  http://collapse.news/2018-02-02-bill-gates-the-a-i-revolution-may-take-away-everyones-job-but-its-okay.html 
  http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/bill-gates-artificial-intellegence-doesnt-think-ai-taking-everyones-jobs-is-a-bad-thing-2018-1-1014021350

     People, he believes, will be able to focus on leisure. Now in principle social creditors have no objection to this because the purpose of life is not to work, work presently being a means to an end. But, for all of this to happen, with the sort of unemployment levels Gates is contemplating, there must be a rethinking of the economy along social credit lines. Merely tinkering around the edges of the system will not do, as the experts have shown:

     Here is an interesting article for Plan C people, who like me feel that things have gone so far, that we will be down to survivalist strategies in a post-collapse world:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-24/would-rural-areas-be-safer-shtf-situation
The possibility of economic collapse, let alone breakdown from war and nuclear strikes, is a realistic threat today:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-24/davos-participant-unveils-what-would-collapse-stock-market

     Rural areas will not have the problems associated with high density population centres, which would quickly become disease pits after only a few days of collapse of essential services, such as electricity, rubbish removal and sewage management. However, as the article notes for the US, and this is applicable in Australia too, most rural towns are under-funded and not prepared for any grid down situations. This is so especially in Australia, where rural townships have been economically gutted, so that foreigners can buy up land cheaply, thanks to our local traitorous elite. Nevertheless, one will still be safer in the country than the city, for no other reason than that the cities have been basically lost.

     This:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/01/24/church-england-sneak-transgender-baptism-services/

“The Church of England has rejected a proposal for a new service to mark a congregant’s sex change – but has given the nod to using an existing ‘reaffirmation’ baptism service, instead. The decision by the Anglican House of Bishops to reject proposals for the development of a new special service to mark gender transitions was criticised by LGBT activists within the church. The ruling, revealed on Sunday, comes after the General Synod voted overwhelmingly in favour of introducing such church services in July.

     Following on from the usual politically correct outbursts over Australia Day, we have the first indication of movement at the front. Labor Part elites are suggesting that a referendum be held on January 26 on the Republic and Aboriginal recognition:
  https://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/indigenous/anthony-albanese-calls-for-twin-january-26-referendums/news-story/e69e5bd842057b80e9d3f5dae0348f2f 

“Anthony Albanese has called for referendums on the republic and indigenous constitutional recognition to be held on a January 26, as a way of creating a national “platform of unity’’ and ending ¬divisions over the date of Australia Day. Mr Albanese, who was deputy prime minister in the second Rudd government and rival to Bill Shorten for the Labor leadership after the party lost power in 2013, used a speech at a citizenship ceremony in his Sydney electorate of Grayndler to suggest how January 26 could be kept as Australia Day, with the support of indigenous people, by holding ballots on two major issues confronting that ¬national identity.

     The members of the open conspiracy to tear down nations and all that we hold dear were at Davos, with the World Economic Forum. George Soros was there to attack President Trump and social media, because, well, George does not get a good run in social media, does he?

     One would have thought that an “open society” would happily embrace the social media and full freedom of thought: certainly the originator of the open society concept, Sir Karl Popper would have:

     Just tap “Invasion Day” into Google and be truly amazed at the spectacle of the cultural war which you will see, with hatred and bile against traditional Australia, a plenty:
  https://thewest.com.au/news/australia/melbournes-invasion-day-protest-turns-ugly-as-organiser-call-aussies-racist-f---ers-threaten-to-burn-country-to-the-ground-ng-b88726597z

““F--- Australia, hope it f-----g burns to the ground,” Invasion Day organiser Tarneen Onus-Williams said. “If you celebrate Australia Day, f---er, you’re celebrating the death of my ancestors. “All you fellas with the Australian flag should be so embarrassed with yourself, it’s embarrassing. It’s embarrassing that you celebrate people’s deaths, the people of this land’s death. You make me sick to my stomach.”

     In Britain, which in many ways is even leading America in the politically correct stakes, many manufacturers of fine Easter eggs, have removed all reference to Jesus, Easter and the Cross, so as to not offend other groups, which presumably means Muslims:
  https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/1096555/outrage-as-easter-eggs-are-renamed-to-avoid-offending-other-religions/

     I am pleased to note that there is a backlash against this, and in Britain, one can still buy traditional Easter eggs, at least for the time. Really though, this is something that consumers can influence, simply by not buying the politically correct eggs.

     Academia never ceases to amaze me. If it is not producing absurd politically correct material, then it delights in producing debunkings of the “life world” of common sense reality. This applies to physics right through to biology and neuroscience. There, the research strategy has been to deny the existence and/or causal powers of the mind, and to reduce the mind to the brain, and eliminate the mind. The less than hidden agenda is to get rid of the soul, so this is all a long argument against Christianity. Readers almost certainly have not heard of the attack by neuroscience on the idea of human freewill, so here is a good summary of what they are up to:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_free_will

“It is quite likely that a large range of cognitive operations are necessary to freely press a button. Research at least suggests that our conscious self does not initiate all behavior. Instead, the conscious self is somehow alerted to a given behavior that the rest of the brain and body are already planning and performing. These findings do not forbid conscious experience from playing some moderating role, although it is also possible that some form of unconscious process is what is causing modification in our behavioral response. Unconscious processes may play a larger role in behavior than previously thought.

     Here is one of the latest finds in human evolution:
  https://www.amren.com/news/2018/01/jawbone-fossil-found-israeli-cave-resets-clock-modern-human-evolution/  
  https://www.timesofisrael.com/jawbone-fossil-found-in-israeli-cave-resets-clock-for-modern-human-evolution/ 

“A jawbone found in a cave in Israel’s Mount Carmel region has reset the clock on human evolution. The fossil, the earliest known record of Homo sapiens outside of Africa, was discovered in 2002 during an excavation of the prehistoric Misliya Cave. After 15 years of intensive research by an international team of multidisciplinary scientists, the unique remains of an adult upper jawbone, complete with several teeth, has been dated to 170,000-200,000 years ago.”

     At the moment the US government is supposed “shut down,” as the Dumbocrats use their fiscal voting powers to create more problems for Donald Trump:
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/trump-launches-new-round-of-partisan-attacks-as-government-shutdown-hits-day-2/2018/01/21/0560aece-fe35-11e7-a46b-a3614530bd87_story.html?utm_term=.9893fbc7d060

     Fortunately, on this one, at least, Trump seems to be holding his ground, and working on an alternative strategy to get the money bills passed:

     We are discovering that diversity in societies is not a blessing or a strength, but a curse. This screams out to us from the daily headlines, but the fact was well known to the ancient thinkers, as this excellent article reminds us:
  https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2018/01/18/tyranny-and-diversity-in-the-ancient-world/ 

“In his Politics, Aristotle realistically observes that diversity resulting from immigration without assimilation was a frequent cause of civil war and breakdown of civic solidarity within the Greek city-states…The importation and enfranchisement of foreigners, whether by democrats or tyrants, was also a common method to subvert the political process, destroy the constitution, and subjugate the citizenry. The archetypal example of this was the powerful and diverse Sicilian city-state of Syracuse, which was long ruled by a string of tyrants, making for a useful contrast with the homogeneous and free city-state. 

Dear Sir:
     I have written before about the impact of the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, on the job market. This revolution will increasingly polarise labour as low skilled jobs are automated and the same spreading to middle class jobs, e.g. financial services, business process outsourcing, areas that some are considering as diversification objectives.

    This revolution could yield inequity, particularly in its ability to disrupt labour markets – restaurants are already toying with the robots to replace service staff. The rewards of the revolution will shift even more so to the highly skilled, followed by investors and capital. These technologies will displace many workers so much so that full employment will not be necessary to produce the goods and services required by the economy.
