To The Australian I wonder if Rod Steed realizes, while he applauds the cancellation of an entry visa to Australia for controversialist David Icke (22/2), that he is dancing on the grave of free speech. The last minute refusal is not a "defining moment for who we are as a nation" as Dver Abramovich stated ("Jewish genocide denier's visa axed", 21/2), but follows on from the mistreatment of historian David Irving in the 1990's. Both cases regrettably display a federal government abandoning principle in order to please a financially powerful lobby.

I have always been amazed at a trend in Freedom Movement types to think that if they can simply get in front of a judge and argue for something, like, I don’t owe the banks anything because the banks create credit from nothing, and that they will win given enough books and references. It does not work that way, as numerous people have found out. The legal system by definition acts to preserve the status quo. This is even true with cases like Mabo, because the status quo was changing in the direction of political correctness then, so the decision was completely in line with what the elites wanted. Anyway, argued below, South Africa is a good counter-example to legal fetishism:
https://www.amren.com/commentary/2018/12/attention-conservatives-the-constitution-wont-save-you/
“American conservatives have a touching faith in the power of written guarantees and legal codes to safeguard traditional liberties. This confidence in legalism is probably a product of America’s Anglo-Saxon heritage, but as demographics change, paper assurances of fundamental rights are likely to yield to the wishes of tribally orientated non-whites. In response, American conservatives may cling even more tightly to the founding documents: “At least I still have the Constitution,” as the popular meme reads. A look at current events in South Africa shows that demographic change can sweep aside even the most solemn constitutional guarantees. By an overwhelming majority, South Africa’s National Assembly recently approved the formation of a committee that will draft a constitutional change permitting expropriation of land without compensation. During the debate, an MP from the Economic Freedom Fighters party declared, “Your time is up, white people.”
It is either national suicide, the desire for self-annihilation, or just another screw up, or perhaps a Deep State conspiracy, but the US is supplying weapons to terrorists, that in turn are used against the US:
https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2019/02/middleeast/yemen-lost-us-arms/
“Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners have transferred American-made weapons to al Qaeda-linked fighters, hardline Salafi militias, and other factions waging war in Yemen, in violation of their agreements with the United States, a CNN investigation has found. The weapons have also made their way into the hands of Iranian-backed rebels battling the coalition for control of the country, exposing some of America's sensitive military technology to Tehran and potentially endangering the lives of US troops in other conflict zones. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, its main partner in the war, have used the US-manufactured weapons as a form of currency to buy the loyalties of militias or tribes, bolster chosen armed actors, and influence the complex political landscape, according to local commanders on the ground and analysts who spoke to CNN. By handing off this military equipment to third parties, the Saudi-led coalition is breaking the terms of its arms sales with the US, according to the Department of Defense.
We are constantly told as part of the brainwashing, that the nation would crash and burn without immigration. Thus, if all migrants were suddenly transferred to another planet by an evil demon, then we would all die. Yet, that is counter-intuitive, since we can still make the essentials for life, and quite well in fact. Do we really need even half of the junk presently sold in shops? Indeed, Australia could be completely self-reliant if we were not addicted to the techno-consumer society, and we should have gone down this road of autarky, rather than the globalist road of national oblivion. Anyway, here is material about a US study, that shows that he US could also do well by getting out of the mass immigration madhouse, consumer society taken along for the ride:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/10/study-ending-all-legal-immigration-40-years-maintains-u-s-workforce/
“The United States could suspend all legal immigration to the country for the next 40 years and maintain a workforce where there are still more than two U.S. workers for every one retiree, a new study finds. The latest study by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota reveals that despite claims by the big business lobby, Wall St., and corporate executives that mass legal immigration is necessary to maintain a sizeable workforce, current legal immigration trends have little to no impact on the working-age population. The workforce population is generally measured by the ratio showing the number of U.S. workers per every one retiree. Camerota’s research finds that if the U.S. implemented an immigration moratorium for the next 40 years, it would hardly have an impact on the number of workers per retirees. … The ratio of U.S. workers per retiree would be little changed if lawmakers halted legal immigration for 40 years. With current legal immigration levels, the U.S. is on track to have about 2.5 workers per retiree by 2060. Should legal immigration be halted, the U.S. would have about 2.1 workers per retiree by 2060, a subtle difference in the working-age population.”
There obviously needs to be some big racist incidents, involving KKK, MAGA hats and nooses to turn the vast rusting wheels of the entire white guilt industry. But, sometimes this all comes unstuck:
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/02/16/report-chicago-police-believe-jussie-smollett-paid-two-men-to-stage-attack/
“The Chicago Police Department believe Empire actor Jussie Smollett staged an attack on himself last month, according to a report. “Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault. The sources tell CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement,” tweeted CNN crime and justice reporter Shimon Prokupecz Saturday evening. Earlier Saturday, Fox 32 Chicago’s Rafer Weigel, citing several police sources, reported Abimbola “Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo — the two Nigerian brothers arrested and later questioned by police about the alleged incident — purchased the rope found around the actor’s neck the night of the alleged attack at an ACE hardware store. CBS Chicago’s Charlie De Mar reports at least one of the brothers bought the rope at Craft Beaver hardware store the weekend of January 25th. The rope was purchased at the direction of Smollett, De Mar, citing sources, added.”
Pardon the French, but do you recall President Trump rattling on some time back, that he did not want migrants from sh*thole countries, and how the media responded to his play acting? Well, the US, and most of the West are coming to be that, quite literally:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-13/rats-public-defecation-open-drug-use-our-major-western-cities-are-becoming
“Those that must live among the escalating decay are often numb to it, but most of those that are just in town for a visit are absolutely shocked by all of the trash, human defecation, crime and public drug use that they encounter. Once upon a time, our beautiful western cities were the envy of the rest of the world, but now they serve as shining examples of America’s accelerating decline. The worst parts of our major western cities literally look like post-apocalyptic wastelands, and the hordes of zombified homeless people that live in those areas are too drugged-out to care. The ironic thing is that these cities are not poor. In fact, San Francisco and Seattle are among the wealthiest cities in the entire nation. So, if things are falling apart this dramatically now, how bad will things get when economic conditions really start to deteriorate? Let’s start our discussion by looking at the rat epidemic in Los Angeles. Thanks to extremely poor public sanitation, rats are breeding like mad, and at this point they have even conquered Los Angeles City Hall…
Recall how our High court was striking down pollies on the foreign allegiance issue based on section 44? Now it seems things have got a wee bit more complicated as Rod Culleton has taken the matter to the UK supreme court for a ruling:
https://cairnsnews.org/2019/02/12/high-court-expulsion-of-senator-culleton-wrong-at-law-uk-supreme-court/
“Culleton advised by UK Supreme Court his senate expulsion was wrong at law leaving the way open for other expelled senators to reclaim their seats. The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has advised Western Australia Senator-in-exile Rod Culleton the High Court of Australia has erred by removing him from the senate. In January Culleton filed an appeal, contrary to legal advice, against his senate expulsion in the Supreme Court(Privy Council) citing s47 of the Commonwealth Constitution of Australia, which had been ignored by the High Court. This section states: ‘Until the Parliament otherwise provides, any question respecting the qualification of a senator or of a member of the House of Representatives, or respecting a vacancy in either House of the Parliament, and any question of a disputed election to either House, shall be determined by the House in which the question arises.’ The High Court, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, expelled him from the senate in 2017 on a referral from then Attorney General, Senator George Brandis. “Preliminary guidance from my case manager in the UK Supreme Court referred me to a legal maxim from a case precedent, Hilary Term [2014] UKSC 3.”
It was only a matter of time, given all of the other censorship adventures, but now Facebook turns its attention to censoring anti-vaxx comments. Not a stone must be left unturned:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6708375/Facebook-start-removing-anti-vaxx-posts.html
“Facebook is considering taking action against harmful and misleading content posted by 'anti-vaccination' activists on the social network. Democrat US Congressman Adam Schiff had written to Facebook, as well as Google, asking them to address the issue of 'anti-vaxx' content on the platform. In its response to Schiff, Facebook wrote that it is looking into removing misinforming content about vaccinations from recommendations to its users and to 'demote' it in searches on its platform. In a letter to t Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Google's CEO Sundar Pichai, Schiff wrote: 'As a Member of Congress who is deeply concerned about declining vaccination rates, I am requesting additional information on the steps that you currently take to provide medically accurate information on vaccinations to your users, and to encourage you to consider additional steps you can take to address this growing problem. In a statement released in response to Schiff, Facebook said it is 'exploring additional measures to best combat the problem,' according to Bloomberg.”
The universities are now worse than China under Mao, regarding political correctness and surveillance. Here is what one Black “queer” student has proposed at Yale University:
https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-02-14-yale-university-newspaper-urges-students-to-surreptitiously-spy-on-white-classmates.html
“[She] recently penned an op-ed calling on all Yale students to spy on their straight, white male classmates in order to collect any “evidence” that might destroy their careers later on in life. Isis Davis-Marks, … held nothing back in expressing her bigoted hatred towards all white males, whom she admittedly and broadly regards as liars and sexual predators. Isis further compared all white males to the Honorable Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whom she personally believes is guilty of past improprieties against women based solely on the unsubstantiated hearsay of Christine Blasey-Ford.
What does a socialist, bankrupt politically correct utopia look like? Like California. And, most people want to leave it, just as they do other failed socialist experiments:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/14/majority-of-california-residents-want-to-leave-poll/
“A new poll reveals that 53% of California residents are considering leaving the Golden State because of the high cost of living. The “Trust Barometer” poll, by Edelman Intelligence, was conducted January 4-20 among 1,500 California residents, with a margin of error of 2.5%. A special oversample of 400 tech workers in the San Francisco Bay Area was also conducted, with a margin of error of 4.8%. The results are sobering. Nearly two-thirds, 62%, of respondents said they believed the best days of California were in the past.”
Here is an insightful article on the way that radical divisions are now opening up and swallowing the American Democrats, who are the party of diversity. We see here the future direction which Australia’s own Labor Party will be taking. It is some way bend the Americans, but it is still on the same track, it being just a question of time lines:
https://vdare.com/articles/patrick-j-buchanan-will-diversity-be-the-death-of-the-democrats
“Both of America's great national parties are coalitions. But it is the Democratic Party that never ceases to celebrate diversity—racial, religious, ethnic, cultural—as its own and as America's "greatest strength." Understandably so, for the party is home to a multitude of minorities. It is the domain of the LGBTQ movement. In presidential elections, Democrats win 70 percent of Hispanics, Jews and Asian-Americans, and 90 percent of African-Americans. Yet, lately, the party seems to be careening into a virtual war of all against all. Democratic Governor Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring of Virginia have both admitted to using blackface. Northam imitated Michael Jackson's "moonwalk" in a 1984 dance contest. Herring, in 1980 at the University of Virginia, did a blackface impression of rap icon Kurtis Blow, who called it ugly and degrading. The resignations of both have been demanded by Virginia's black leadership. Northam and Herring, however, are defying the demands.
The MeToo movement has been involved in exposing men who rape women, or otherwise abuse them, which on the surface seems a good and worthy thing to do. But, with feminists, part of the globalist movement, there are no good deeds, only political strategies. While taking down scum in Hollywood was good, it did not take very long for this to morph into full-on cultural terrorism against men. Witness the present hate campaign against singer/song writer Ryan Adams, whose only “fault’ is having had some bad relationships and marriage. Even though he has been greatly pro-women, and pro-feminism in his songs, at least those that I listened to in the extensive research done for this article, he is still crucified. Example:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/13/arts/music/ryan-adams-women-sex.html
Just imagine if there was a counter-moment, pro-men, where they sought out to expose all women using their sexuality to achieve success. Where do you think this wold go? I got so carried away that I forgot that my punchline related to porn, not corn. But, simply, if Hollywood bad men can be exposed for sexual exploitation, what about dealing with an entire industry based upon the brutal degradation of women? Now, as we are a Christian conservative group, we are prudish in a nice kind of way, so it is best not to mention what goes down in such movies. But, if there is any doubt, on YouTube, female porn stars freely discuss their industry and it leaves no doubt in my mind that not only is it anti-women, but is concentrated Satanic. Why is it that feminists are doing nothing about it? A few radical feminists did cry out about it in the 1970s, but they were shouted down. Is there too much money involved here, and doesn’t porno help in the white genocide programme?
It was only a matter of time. After previous wars as something of a warm up, India and Pakistan, armed with hot nukes, and prepared to use them, are getting ready for the Big One:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/india-pakistan-kashmir-nuclear-armed-neighbors-narendra-modi-crushing-response/
“India's prime minister warned Friday of a "crushing response" to the suicide bombing of a paramilitary convoy in Indian-controlled Kashmir, an attack killed 41 and is now the deadliest in the divided region's volatile history. Prime Minister Narendra Modi placed the blame for Thursday's bombing squarely on neighboring Pakistan, which India accuses of supporting rebels in Kashmir. "Our neighboring country thinks such terror attacks can weaken us, but their plans will not materialize," he said, adding that government forces have been "given total freedom" to deal with the militants. The attack is ratcheting up already hostile tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors, who both administer parts of the disputed territory but each claim it entirely. Pakistan has denied any involvement and warned India against linking it to the attack, but that hasn't stopped India from taking action. India's Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced Friday that New Delhi was withdrawing the most favored nation trade status given to Pakistan and would take all possible diplomatic steps "to ensure the complete isolation from international community of Pakistan of which incontrovertible evidence is available of having a direct hand in this gruesome terrorist incident."
It will be here soon, as it is now being tried in France, but forget about mum and dad, it is now parent 1 and parent 2, with the possibility of parents 3, 4, 5, … in infinite progression.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/02/14/schools-france-replace-mother-father-parent-1-2-controversial/
“French schools are to replace the words “mother” and “father” with “parent 1” and “parent 2” under an amendment to a law passed this week. Supporters of the change say it will stop discrimination against same sex parents but critics argue it “dehumanises” parenthood, is “ugly” and could lead to rows over who gets to be “parent 1”. The amendment was passed by MPs on Tuesday night as part of a wider so-called law to build “a school of trust”, which among other things also makes attendance compulsory for all three-year-olds. “This amendment aims to root in law children’s family diversity in administrative forms submitted in school,” said Valérie Petit, MP for the majority REM party of President Emmanuel Macron. Ms Petit, from the Nord department, said that the words mother and father, on all school documents such as pertaining to the canteen or authorising children to go on excursions, no longer took into account the recently-passed gay marriage law, nor the existence of same sex parents.”
US Democrats are falling over themselves in the race for US national suicide, and now we not only have opposition to building Trump’s wall, but to any barriers at all:
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/14/beto-orourke-tear-down-existing-border-walls/
“Rising Democratic star Beto O’Rourke of Texas said Thursday that not only does he oppose President Trump’s border wall but he would rip out existing walls along the U.S.-Mexico border. Mr. O’Rourke had been publicly asked by freshman Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Texas Republican, that if border walls are immoral or dangerous, why let the existing ones stand. MSNBC host Chris Hayes repeated the question to him Thursday. “Yes, absolutely. I’d take the wall down,” said the former U.S. representative from El Paso, Texas, who is widely seen as a possible 2020 presidential hopeful.”
I will not comment on claims made in a new book that 80 percent of the Vatican are gay.

I was surprised by this, as I thought that the figure was closer to 100 percent; my mistake. Anyway, that has nothing to do with the Pope’s claim, that we must love migrants, just love them with all our hearts and souls, because … well, who knows:

With gun banning in full swing, the question arises for countries like the United States, that do not have registration, what will the grassroots officials like police do when it comes to the crunch, and guns must be seized?
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-24/over-one-million-us-gun-owners-refuse-obey-ban
“This month, citizens were given a December 11 deadline on their new ban on standard capacity magazines. The law effectively turned one million law abiding gun owners into criminals, literally overnight if they failed to turn in the magazines. Somehow, New Jersey lawmakers thought insane individuals who want to carry out mass shootings would be lining up to turn in their 15 round magazines as anyone caught with one of these banned magazines is now committing a fourth-degree felony. However, even the law-abiding citizens are choosing to disobey—and that’s a good thing. According to Ammoland.com, who says they spoke with multiple police departments throughout the state, no one has turned in their magazines.
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks”: Hamlet Act III, Scene II. The remarks, now named by psychologists as the “Streisand effect,” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect , occur when denying something obvious leads to a confirmation of its existence. An example of this occurred last year in former FBI director, James Comey’s calm that there was no Deep State at all!
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/23/james-comey-theres-no-deep-state/
“In testimony, former FBI Director James Comey exclaimed “there’s no deep state” before going on to suggest that workers risk their jobs by “speaking out” –purportedly against President Donald Trump. During testimony before the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees last week, Comey was asked by Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) for suggestions on how the nation should get back “on track” after the “storm” it is currently weathering – a clear reference to Trump’s presidency. Comey responded by launching into mini-speech about the resilience of America, while insisting there is no “deep state” and urging people to speak out:
All individualists need to think seriously about whether there can be too much of a good thing. After all, sure there are cases of a lone individual taking a stand against the hordes, such as Horatius Cocles on the bridge, and the even more impressive Viking at Stamford Bridge:

But, in general, biologists see humans as social organism, not solitary, and group cooperation is a defining quality. And that does not mean communism, it just means association. Otherwise, go hunt the sabre tooth tiger on your own! This, creates a problem, where a people like Western Europeans confront, via mass migration people who will cooperate together, and some with even a hive mind! Hence, the following story.

Trump, among his infinity of mistakes wants to have America’s largest immigration intake. This will destroy American jobs, all in the name of furthering the evil agenda of the globalists:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/13/trumps-hint-to-increase-legal-immigration-automation-dooms-american-workers/
“President Trump’s hint that he will increase legal immigration levels and a pending automation doomsday that lawmakers have yet to regulate threatens millions of America’s working and middle class workers. This week, Trump reiterated for the third time in a few weeks that he believes the U.S. should be increasing already historic levels of legal immigration — where more than 1.2 million legal immigrants are admitted every year at the expense of American taxpayers who are forced to subsidize the scheme through depressed wages and fewer job prospects. Trump has suggested that the country does not have enough Americans to fill high-paying jobs in sectors like the automotive industry. Nonetheless, Bureau of Labor Statistics data tell a different story, one that is nowhere near a so-called “labor shortage,” as the business lobby has continued to falsely claim. There are at least 13 million working-age Americans who are either unemployed, not in the labor force but want a job, or who are working part-time jobs but want a good-paying full-time job.Immigration Reform Law Insititute (IRLI) Executive Director Dale Wilcox told Breitbart News that increasing legal immigration levels would subject those 13 million Americans to more foreign competition against mostly low-skilled workers. Wilcox said:
