To THE AUSTRALIAN          Henry Ergas has provided a well-researched statement (‘Think before it’s Crown and out’, 12/1) as to why Australians may be prudent to retain the monarchy. However, his claim that ‘heredity confers so little political legitimacy’ can be contested. When Prince Charles becomes our next monarch, he will not merely carry on a royal blood line that stretches for over a thousand years, he will bear within himself and embody the history and culture of Britain as well as a profound knowledge of the duties and responsibilities of a British sovereign. That is something which in part ‘comes with the blood’ and is not transferable save to his legitimate successor.

     Tradition (and not merely British tradition) tells us that the affairs of this world are partly shaped by influences from invisible but higher worlds, so that, in metaphysical or mystical terms, the choice of a new monarch is not something that happens ‘just by chance’ but is a conscious and meaningful contribution to the national destiny by higher powers. Royal heredity thus contains deep mystery and an associated authority.

“Pro-Trump protesters stormed a speech being made by Sadiq Khan, shouting pro-Brexit slogans and calling for the London Mayor’s arrest. The disruption led to the temporary suspension of the speech.
Khan had just begun his address at a conference for the Fabian Society, a socialist group, in London when demonstrators in the audience started calling for his arrest. Some of the group held US flags and anti-EU banners as their supporters clapped and heckled the Labour mayor.
The demonstration follows US President Donald Trump’s cancellation of a planned visit to the UK capital next month. Khan, a vocal critic of the  US president, responded to news of the cancellation by saying Trump “had got the message” that Londoners were opposed to his policies.”

     President Trump has been pounded by the liberal/Left for his alleged comments (which he denies making), about not wanting to take migrants from “sh*t hole countries.” It was crude, but this is the real world, and there are numerous accounts of the much worse foul language used by Hillary Clinton, as abuse of staff:

     As expected this debunking site says “unproven”:

but, of course it would be difficult to prove claims made by such agents, anonymously. Nevertheless, MSM agrees with the foul-mouthed Hillary scenario:

     Get ready for the nest assault on the West as the UN plans a new global mass movement of migrants to the West, of course, through the UN global compact on migration. Here is the standard justification for this, which we have all heard before:

“This year, governments will negotiate a global compact on migration through the United Nations. This will be the first overarching international agreement of its kind. It will not be a formal treaty. Nor will it place any binding obligations on states. Instead, it is an unprecedented opportunity for leaders to counter the pernicious myths surrounding migrants, and lay out a common vision of how to make migration work for all our nations.
This is an urgent task. We have seen what happens when large-scale migration takes place without effective mechanisms to manage it. The world was shocked by recent video of migrants being sold as slaves.
Grim as these images were, the real scandal is that thousands of migrants suffer the same fate each year, unrecorded. Many more are trapped in demeaning, precarious jobs that border on slavery anyway. There are nearly six million migrants trapped in forced labour today, often in developed economies.

     One topic which I often discussed with Eric Butler was the question of temperance and the prohibition of alcohol. Eric said that the main argument given at the time, was a moral one, that alcohol eroded one’s rationality and free will. Further, the claim that American prohibition was a failure, is not true:
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/12/bring-back-prohibition/

     As one article which reviewed the evidence put it:
“The conventional view that National Prohibition failed rests upon an historically flimsy base. The successful campaign to enact National Prohibition was the fruit of a century-long temperance campaign, experience of which led prohibitionists to conclude that a nationwide ban on alcohol was the most promising of the many strategies tried thus far. A sharp rise in consumption during the early 20th century seemed to confirm the bankruptcy of alternative alcohol-control programs.

     Predictably enough, the commo Pope had a New Years’ message of hope and understanding for migrants:
http://www.breitbart.com/news/pope-francis-urges-peace-and-understanding-for-migrants/

     Here is another also commenting on the Pope’s commo agenda:
“Pope Francis is pushing an “anti-American” and “anti-American worldview” via “hysterical leftist agitprop,”said The Stream’s Senior Editor John Zmirak on Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight.
Zmirak made his comments during an interview with Breitbart News’s Senior Editors-at-Large Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.

     Of course it does, for many reasons, including the problem of gangs and home invasions:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-02/street-gangs-are-a-problem-in-melbourne-police-admit/9297984

“Victorian police have conceded Melbourne has a problem with African street gangs, after earlier insisting there were no gangs in the city, as the State Government rejects criticism it has dropped the ball on the problem.
Police Minister Lisa Neville on Tuesday defended the Government’s handling of youth crime after the Federal Government on Monday said “African gang crime” was out of control in Melbourne because of lenient state policies.
The issue has become a priority for both major parties after a series of recent headline-grabbing crimes blamed on groups of young African men, including the trashing of an Airbnb property in Werribee, vandalism in Tarneit and a night of violence at St Kilda Beach involving dozens of youths.”

     I watched to see if there was a repeat of the mass sexual assaults in Germany on New Years’ Eve, which is becoming something of a tradition:
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/01/01/sexual-assaults-reported-in-berlin-despite-safety-area-for-women.html

“At least 13 cases of sexual assault were reported in Germany’s capital on New Year’s Eve -- despite the city’s creation of a “safety area” for women to celebrate the arrival of 2018 near Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate.
Police made seven arrests, according to Fox News and multiple German media reports, but no information was released about the suspects.
A local police spokeswoman told Fox News that police were still gathering information about the night’s reported crimes, but did not disclose more information about the detained people.
As midnight neared in Germany, Berlin police tweeted that they were receiving reports of sexual assaults, but warned that the force does not tolerate such crimes.”

     The elites in the West, such as Hillary Clinton, are excited about the “revolution” that is presumably taking place in Iran. The image of a woman removing her hijab is viral, and taken as a symbol of a new “Arab Spring.” Well, we all know where that one went, with civil war, a stronger ISIS, and masses of migrants flooding Europe. And, there is no “democracy” in most of the Middle East, with  Libya, merely a failed state, just the way they like it.
     There is little information about the real situation in Iran, but it is well known that the majority of people support the government, while the Western elites hope to destroy it:
https://www.rt.com/news/414829-ayatollah-iran-enemies-protests/

     The real aim here is civil war, and that war will quickly evolve into a world war. The globalist elites are just itching for the rivers of blood, and if it is not caused through Iran, they will aim for North Korea to get the heads rolling:

     Satoshi Kanazawa has written on many politically incorrect topics and has got up the snout of the Establishment:

     In his article with Norman LI, “Happiness in Modern Society: Why Intelligence and Ethnic Composition Matter,” Journal of Research in Personality, vol. 59, 2015, pp. 111-120, he presents evidence that there is a correlation between life satisfaction and ethnic composition, with the increase ethnic fragmentation leading to less life satisfaction, particularly among people with average, or below average IQs:

     While many fear that North Korea’s missiles may soon beat a hot, nuclear path to the US, and perhaps our white ant-eaten door, it is possible that these missiles could go…anywhere… since, North Korea has already accidently bombed one of its own cities:

     The New Year saw more evidence, from Paris that migration and multiculturalism come at a great cost:

     France itself is still under a state of emergency two years after terrorist attacks. It defies comprehension that this has been let happen, and continues with no end in sight.

     The 61.6 percenters who voted for same sex marriage, must also have voted for the end of religious freedom, since at present the government does not seem very concerned about its pledge that no bill on same sex marriage would impinge on religious freedom. Before the plebby, 62 percent of voters supported legal guarantees for freedom of religion, even though numerous people strongly argued that this was naïve, and that once the same sex vote was secured, freedom of religion would be forgotten. And, it has. Even the mildest amendments protecting freedom of religion have been voted down:
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/editorials/marriage-legislation-puts-religious-freedom-in-doubt/news-story/ce9ec86ca4a6f93aadafab5ba283fee1

     This is a parliament where the same sex legislation passage was treated like some sort of wartime victory, with pollies hugging in the parliament. What would the Founding fathers have thought if they could have seen that?

      My, my, anyone would think that suddenly, after decades of talk, and promotion of the policy of Asianisation (“we are a part of Asia”), our politicians are suddenly worried about Chinese influence! Treason laws? What?

“Malcolm Turnbull is escalating pressure on Bill Shorten to back a dramatic expansion of treason laws to curb foreign influence in Australian politics amid growing fears over the use of cash and covert activities to undermine the national interest.

     Many people have Leftoids as pets in their home and have the problem that apart from difficulties in house training them, as they tend to go do their toilet whenever the urge is great, and wherever, these strange furry, or fury, pets chew up everything. Well, this article explains that this is just the Leftoids way of exploring the environment, as they investigate with their noses:
https://www.livescience.com/61096-why-dogs-chew-everything.html

     Wait! In my senility, I just made a terrible error and confused Leftoids with dogs. It was a bad mistake. Sure, in a metaphorical sense, Leftoids really do chew everything up, but your dog does it because he/she loves you, while the Leftoid just wants to kill you, maybe literally:

     Look, I would have rolled out this story for Halloween, but I forgot. Or, in the alternative, I did not have the story, having to learn Italian to read it (Google translation was beyond me at the time):
http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/cronache/migranti-rituali-magia-nera-propiziare-viaggio-italia-1470855.html

“I migranti temono il viaggio che li porterà verso l’Italia. Soprattutto i nigeriani. E così spesso si affidano ai maghi e alla magia per propiziare la traversata, con riti vodoo che si portano dietro anche durante la permanenza nel Belpaese.
A raccontare questa pratica è La Verità. I migranti si rivolgono alla Dea dell’Acqua, Mammy Water, chiamata anche Mami Wata. Il rituale propiziatorio prevede di girare a petto nudo con una gallina sgozzata in mano e una campanella. Poi stregoneria, ipnosi e altri rituali. In questo modo, si legge nel reportage di Alberto Cicala, si debellano “le paure durante viaggi in altri Paesi, rende l’ emigrante imbattibile, nel bene e nel male. Il rituale evoca gli spiriti che dormono nelle acque del fiume, avvertendoli che, se disobbedirai al giuramento rituale, ti indurranno alla pazzia fino alla morte”.
Un rituale lungo e minuzioso, che in qualche modo ingabbia i giovani in cerca di fortuna in Europa. “Il Native doctor - scrive La Verità -comincia chiamando per nome la persona che si trova inginocchiata davanti a lui e come in una preghiera chiede risposta a tutte le dichiarazioni recitate. Vengono gettati a terra conchiglie e sassolini, mentre con una lametta si taglia un ciuffo di capelli della ‘vittima’ e si preleva sangue da un dito poi raccolti in un fazzoletto. Il rituale continua finché l’ individuo cade in un trans indotto dall’alcol (gin e polverine composte da radici di alberi medicali) e dalla carica emotiva che si insinua progressivamente, tra fumi d’ incenso ed esalazioni alcoliche. Lo stregone sputa una miscela da lui composta in precedenza verso il viso della vittima e da quel momento il legame è stretto”.

     Unless it is some white guy doing something bad, do not expect any sort of fair, balanced coverage in the mainstream media:
http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/02/cnn-msnbc-new-york-times-totally-ignore-kansas-kill-all-white-people-murder-suspect/

“A story about an African-American male who allegedly murdered multiple white men after once saying he wanted to “kill all white people” is being completely ignored by the liberal media.
Fredrick Demond Scott, a 22-year-old black male, has been charged this week with the murder of Steven Gibbons and John Palmer, two middle-aged white males. Gibbons was reportedly found dead on August 14 of this year and Gibbons was killed in Aug. 2016.
Scott is also a suspect in three other killings of white men. 
This comes after Scott reportedly once said that he wanted to “kill all white people.”

     A sad story, indeed:
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/12/07/august-ames-suicide-sjw-mob-condemns-refusal-work-gay-actors/

“Porn star August Ames was found dead of an apparent suicide Wednesday, one day after the adult actress was apparently bullied by social justice warriors on social media for explaining she would not perform in scenes alongside male actors who also perform in gay porn, due to health concerns.
Ames, whose real name is Mercedes Grabowski, “died of asphyxia due to hanging” in what has been ruled as a suicide, according to Ventura County, California officials. She was 23 years old.
Grabowski was bullied on Twitter after she announced her refusal to do porn scenes with gay porn actors, citing what she claimed was a higher likelihood of contracting HIV.”

     Unlike many Americans, I am not a great pro-gun person.  I don’t oppose private gun ownership.  On the contrary, it is the guns in the hands of the state and criminals that worries me, and these forces are far more dangerous than armed civilians, as this case well shows:
https://altright.com/2017/12/10/joyces-diary-part-3/

“Philip Mitchell Brailsford, 27, a former Arizona police officer, was acquitted on Thursday of a murder charge in the 2016 fatal shooting of Daniel Shaver outside his hotel room. The body cam footage of the killing is very unsettling and shows Brailsford ordering a slightly inebriated and very distressed Shaver to exit his hotel room, lay face-down in a hallway and refrain from making sudden movements –  under threat of being shot if he failed to comply.  Brailsford’s panicked conduct in the footage is erratic.  He issues a hail of sometimes conflicting instructions, i.e. for Shaver to raise his hands and also to crawl along the ground.  Throughout, Shaver sobs as he begs police not to shoot, and displays obvious confusion at some of the conflicting commands he is asked to comply with.  As Shaver reaches down to pull up his falling shorts, a panicked and aggressive Brailsford fires several shots into Shaver’s prone frame, killing him almost instantly.
I’ve always felt that modern policing attracts the worst possible recruits, and is a breeding ground for narcissists and government lapdogs. Even the worst behavior of Black cop-baiters, in protesting at the alleged ‘institutional racism’ of police departments, has never convinced me to fully side with the police.  For those with any sense of lingering attachment to the boys in blue, Charlottesville should have been a wake-up call in terms of police co-operation with the government agenda.  Yes, some officers may be on board with our ideas, but as a corporate entity “The Police” are a major part of the problem — they are ground zero for the enforcement of the corrupt laws that silence dissent and pave the way for our destruction.  Brailsford was ultimately just another conformist cretin, consumed by narcissism, riddled with cowardice, and content to take a paycheck in exchange for being the government’s willing executioner.  Protect and Serve? More like “Protect yourself and Serve the State.”
