This is all true, I swear to it on a big breakfast of bacon and eggs: a man gets 15 years in prison, plus another 15 years’ probation, to be served after his prison sentence, for leaving bacon on the doorstep of a mosque in Florida:

“A man who broke into a mosque and left a slice of raw bacon has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Michael Wolfe from Titusville in Florida pleaded guilty to the break-in at the Islamic Society of Central Florida Masjid Al-Munin Mosque in January 2016.
CCTV footage shows the 37-year-old smashing windows and lights with a machete before leaving bacon by the front door.
Wolfe pleaded guilty to criminal mischief to a place of worship with a hate crime enhancement on Tuesday, after a plea deal was arranged with the mosque and the police.

     Relax, let an old lady handle this one. There is a growing cultural war over toilets, with something of a trend to create unisex toilets:
http://www.smh.com.au/comment/gender-neutral-public-toilets-should-be-the-norm-20160503-golmtp.html
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/public-service-push-for-genderneutral-bathrooms-20170511-gw2taq.html

     Urinals are on the way out, with the sort of standard toilets we all have at home coming to the fore. Thus, men, being extremely poor aims, will make these toilets unhygienic for women.  Ladies, you know what I mean! All in the name of political correctness.

     Social chaos is all around us. Witness:

    Oh, the Lefty antifa who caused the trouble never get billed though, do they? Hopefully the matter can be disputed by courts in the United States.

     In our anti-discrimination, equality mad society, where inclusion is everything, Bob Katter sure stirred up a hornets’ nest of controversy:
http://www.skynews.com.au/news/politics/federal/2017/12/07/we-shouldn-t--encourage--homosexual-behaviour.html

“Independent MP Bob Katter has stood by his controversial statement in parliament on Wednesday accusing gay people of being ‘murderers’ who passed on AIDS to the heterosexual community via blood donation.
Mr Katter was widely criticised for his contribution to the same sex marriage debate on Wednesday, where the Member for Kennedy criticised homosexual men for giving blood.
‘You want to talk about equality? Well they wanted equality in the giving of blood. They said we have a right as homosexuals to give blood, so they did,’ Mr Katter said.
‘And I think it was 72 children were injected with AIDS from the blood that was given. It was hushed up. It was amazing to me that it never got any publicity at all.”

     Following in the aftermath of the glorious victory for human rights in the same sex marriage vote, something which the entire history of humanity has been building up to, there has been other noteworthy achievements in previously, somewhat slow Australia, namely:

“It’s a big win for transgender teens today in Australia.
Australia was the last place in the world transgender children needed court authorisation to receive Stage 2 hormone treatment, even if they or their parents consented to the procedure.
That’s now no longer the case thanks to a landmark decision in the country’s Family Court on Thursday, ending the need for the unnecessary and stressful legal process.
Since 2013, it’s been a requirement that courts need to approve Stage 2 treatment.
Stage 2 hormone treatment involves the administration of oestrogen or testosterone, allowing an adolescent to develop the pubertal characteristics of the gender they associate with. It follows Stage 1 hormone treatment, which delays puberty.”

     Transsexuals will be able to serve in the US military, after courts overturned Trump’s ban, which shows who rules America:

     Russia, however, has built a superior military force, probably the finest in the world, with weapons and men, that could whip the West many times over:

     Here is a quick summary of some good health advice I have read, which is particularly relevant for older people.

     Cognitive decline can be halted, it is hypothesised, by a combination of omega 3, from oily fish or capsules, and B vitamins:

     US Republican Steve King, said that diversity is not America’s strength in a pair of recent tweets. His comments were linked to an article by the Voice of Europe that quoted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban saying that cultures shouldn’t be mixed, arguing that it’s “against common sense.” King said:  “Diversity is not our strength.”

“Assimilation has become a dirty word to the multiculturalist Left. Assimilation, not diversity, is our American strength.”

     A while back, the media were all in a huff over child migrants who had to be admitted into Europe. When photographs of these “children” appeared, it was obvious that almost all of them were adults of military-conscription age. A big cover-up then took place:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/child-refugees-migrants-two-thirds-home-office-dental-teeth-david-davies-a7369186.html\
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4563200/75-suspicious-child-migrants-Sweden-adults.html

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/denmark-child-asylum-seekers-adult-age-test-migrants-refugee-crisis-a7464081.html

     In a nutshell, the vast majority of these “children” are adults, about 75 percent, allowed in on false pretences, but, well, they are here now, so they are good honest citizens.

     The issue of the importation of an Asian overclass, who will move into professional jobs and become the new ruling class of Australia, has been discussed for some years, most notably by Peter Wilkinson in The Howard Legacy:
https://www.digitalprintaustralia.com/bookstore/non-fiction/politics-philosophy/the-howard-legacy.html

     American conservatives, who generally love Asianisation, also seem a tiny bit worried about this, maybe because their children and grandchildren may not get into Ivy League universities; here is a good article discussing all of the US issues:
http://www.vdare.com/articles/john-derbyshire-time-to-stop-importing-an-immigrant-overclass

     We have seen concern, and quiet murmurs issued by conservatives, about parliament’s complete failure to protect religious freedom.  Indeed, “our” politicians saw fit to vote down all amendments that would have protected religious freedom.  Even proverbial blind Freddy could have seen this coming, yet the 62 percenters went along with a “Yes” vote with no guarantee of any protections.

     As noted here:

     Natural news.com, recently had an article about aluminium in vaccines:
https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-12-11-no-science-anyone-who-dares-mention-vaccines-contain-aluminum-is-immediately-derided-as-an-anti-vaxxer.html

     The mainstream medical profession holds that aluminium is an adjunct which boosts the vaccine’s capacity to produce an immune response.  But, what else might it do?

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-15/scheme-pay-trump-accusers-emerges-one-woman-was-offered-750000
     Well, that explains it. Trump had better get ready for the next storm that is blowing his way.

     I studied philosophy for a bit over a year, before dropping out, when I did an Arts degree at a mid-level US university. As a freshman, I had hoped that this discipline would help with the big questions, such as the meaning of life, and the existence of God, but I was very disappointed. At best, philosophy was engaged in technicalities that led nowhere; at worst, it was just another attack on traditionalism, but going deeper than the Social Sciences, attacking our common sense view of reality, such as that we have free will, minds and souls. All of this is done to support the ruling ideology of reductionist materialism.

     Not all philosophers though, go for the establishment line. Richard Cocks has published two papers at Sydneytrads.com, discussing the illogical nature of philosophers, with respect to the issue of determinism. If the thesis of determinism – that every event has a cause, sufficient for its explanation, running back in an endless chain of causes – and if this thesis is inconsistent with the existence of free will, then how is the reasoning leading to acceptance of the determinist thesis acceptable?

     What took the liberal elites so long to get to their destination? Clearly, their aim with the sexual moral panic over men in power asking actresses/women for sex, something that goes on in millions of bars right across the West every night, was to work up to having another go at taking down Donald Trump.  It did not work in the election, but now, well, it is worth a go.  It was tried to bring Judge Moore to his knees and get him to pull out of the Alabama election. Instead, Moore basically told the chattering class where to go and pressed on.  But, the moral panic was enough among white women to cost him the election, narrowly.

     Now, let us examine one allegation against Trump with the eye of a lawyer:

     How about this for a movie plot? A mad scientist invents a device which allegedly gives the masses entertainment value, but which later is revealed to be killing them. People start dying out. Maybe they come back as zombies; maybe not. Anyway, apocalypse. But wait, it is not a movie:
https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-12-15-cellphones-driving-modern-humans-to-the-brink-of-insanity-new-science.html

“As it turns out, the mass poisoning of human brains with cellphone radiation has only been going on for a generation or so. It may be the common cause behind the insanity, and California health authorities have just confirmed this possibility by issuing new warnings about the adverse brain effects of cellphone radiation exposure.
“The research suggests cellphones could increase our risk for brain cancer and tumors, low sperm count, headaches, as well as impaired memory, hearing, and sleep,” reports CBS News / San Francisco. In other words, cellphone radiation has been found to directly interfere with normal brain function, leading people to demonstrate abnormal cognitive function. This, combined with the brain-warping harmful effects of social media, seems to have driven our society to the brink of runaway mental illness across the masses.
Just as the Romans destroyed their civilization with the help of lead poisoning in the water aqueducts, we may be destroying our own civilization by frying all our brains with cellphone radiation (and thereby driving our people insane).”

     Here is something new, a book review to be done on a book not yet published, which I have not even read: Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress, February 27, 2018. The book apparently argues that everything is getting better, we are safer, more peaceful, happier and so on. It’s all done by looking at statistics. I suppose that his concern is with Americans, rather than places of social anarchy as in most of Africa, which would refute his thesis. Likewise for rape in Sweden.

     But, that is the problem with naïve empiricism, which looks at statistics rather than looking through them. It is like a friend I met, who told me that he felt in the best condition of his life, then went home and died of a stroke. The fact is that official statistics does not capture those issues that concern us. It does not even capture much of crime, such as organised ethnic crime and corruption. And, most importantly, the world situation could change overnight, with one EMP strike, showing not the “better angels of our nature,” but Hobbe’s nature red in tooth and claw:

     My grandmother was an orphan and her mother left her at a Catholic orphanage to be brought up by the nuns, until foster parents claimed her. In fact, grandmother had a twin sister, who the nuns separated. Nanna told me that the nuns were viciously cruel, burning naughty girls with hot water, and whipping them. She thought that they derived sadistic enjoyment from it. In school, for the slightest infringement, or even not getting sums right, the girls would be caned on the hands. During piano lessons, to fluff a note would lead to a cane strike on the hands, which would lead to the next cane stick, and finally to some full body torture.

     I do not know exactly when these events took place, but it was probably 100 years ago. The world has changed a lot since then, for the better, hasn’t it?

     In one region of Germany, the unemployment of migrant arrivals tops 96 percent, and yet more, more, more are brought in:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/12/03/less-four-percent-migrants-found-jobs-german-district/

     No doubt, it is a small social cost to pay for the ultimate demographic displacement of native Germans. No amount of bombings, rapes or terrorism seems to bring the message home to the cucked German people about what is going on.
