Honoré de Balzac is reputed to have said: “Behind every great fortune there is a great crime.” This alleged quote came to mind when reading James Petras, “How Billionaires become Billionaires,” at http://www.unz.com/jpetras/how-billionaires-become-billionaires/.

     One of the ways they do it is because the taxation system is set up to benefit the hyper-rich who have deduction opportunities far beyond the normal tax payer. Then there is outright tax evasion, rather than tax minimisation:

     An important aspect of the Spanish constitutional crisis is its relevance to our own ongoing constitutional contest between those for and against our monarchy, since an independent Catalonia would cease its royalist allegiance to become a republic. This is in accord with a regional tradition that goes back to the October 1936 declaration that Barcelona was to become the capital of the new ‘Soviet States of Western Europe’. That was less than twenty years after the communist murder of the Romanovs.
     In both nations the issue of regional and cultural autonomy is used, by a sort of confidence trick, as a means of effecting fundamental change in the political order; and the essence of each struggle is an attack on the traditional Christian religion and culture of the West.

     Following the Las Vegas false flag massacre, the MSM have been rolling out thick the gun banning rhetoric. Prior to this, the gun amnesty was hailed as a success because each of these intrinsic dangerous guns was turned in.

     Guns, apparently kill people and thus are intrinsically bad, unless they are the guns held by the Deep State, to keep 'You in Line'. Then they are good.

     It is good that Jill Murphy, a ‘yes’ voter in the postal survey on marriage, can accept, if grudgingly, that a ‘no’ vote ‘is not solely a product of homophobia’ (12/10). However, she neither tells us her ‘no’ friend’s arguments nor tries to rebut them. Instead, she trots out all the old chestnuts about how outrageous the survey is, that it enshrines ‘prejudices’, that it causes unnecessary suffering to gay people, that gays wanting to marry concerns no-one else and that ‘no’ voters are often motivated by fear.
     More alarmingly, she seems clearly to believe that the community’s decisions on who is to have what rights must accord with her own simplistic views about ‘equality’ and ‘love’.  She also ignores entirely the major arguments of ‘no’ advocates. So, yes, ‘our identities are bound up with our beliefs’, but it is possible to free ourselves from error by using reasoning to approach truth.

 For yonks they waged a war on coal
 And painted miners black;
 They threw explorers on the dole
 And shut the gates outback.

     Remember the rhetoric from Obama et al. about all those poor refugees fleeing to Europe with their latest phones and money, were actually children, not young men of military-service age who could fight for their homeland?  Well, a Swedish dentist, Bernt Herlitz revealed that from his observations of molar teeth of migrant patients, 80 percent of the so-called migrant “children” were actually adults. This revelation led to Helitz being fired and he may lose his house.  http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/10/swedish-dentist-reveals-80-migrant-children-actually-adults-fired-now-may-lose-home/

     This act of war against a native Swede occurred even though it is now openly admitted that the so-called migrant children are adults:  http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/681228/child-migrants-age-test-sweden-department-migration-refugee
Their purpose is population replacement of Nordics.

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Paul Morrisey’s subtly articulated advocacy of a return to ‘a more liberal approach to education’ (‘We need an education in wisdom, not specious buzzwords’, 13/10) is welcome for its insistence on the importance of vision and respect for the primacy of wisdom in the promotion of a truly generous, diverse and free national education. He is right to warn against the over-influence of ‘the bureaucratic state’ and to favour an approach of ‘overseeing and enabling’ rather than ‘controlling and enforcing’, especially as regards the secondary and tertiary sectors.

     The pursuit of wisdom requires more than refinement of reasoning. Supra-rational modes of achieving understanding need to be adopted: intuition, conscience, inspiration, contemplation, even ‘second sight’. As Josef Pieper noted in his 1952 book ‘Leisure the Basis of Culture’, both teachers and students need to develop a philosophical attitude ‘which presupposes silence, a contemplative attention to things’ and adequate leisure time. The enemies are crude ideology and the nanny state.

     The sequence of events that the FBI and other authorities have given for the Las Vegas shooting has now, officially, fallen apart:  http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/10/556828806/las-vegas-gunman-shot-security-guard-before-firing-into-crowd-police-say

“At a news conference Monday, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo revised one of the key details on the reported timeline of events that night: when exactly shooter Stephen Paddock injured Jesus Campos, the unarmed Mandalay Bay security guard who came to investigate his floor.
“What we have learned is Mr. Campos was encountered by the suspect prior to [Paddock’s] shooting to the outside world,” Lombardo said. He told reporters Monday that Paddock shot Campos at 9:59 p.m. local time on Oct. 1, roughly six minutes before turning his gun on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival.
“Immediately upon being injured, [Campos] notified security of his situation,” Lombardo said. He added that Campos also prevented a maintenance worker from being shot. But Lombardo also acknowledged that police “weren’t aware of [Campos] being shot until they met him in the hallway after exiting the elevator” onto Paddock’s floor.”

     Donald Trump’s most insane decision was to bring his family, especially his daughter Ivanka, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, into essentially running the Trump presidency. She has constantly led her father into taking the libtard road, or to make decisions not in America’s best interests; she is a globalist and cosmopolitan.

     Thus, she has been in support of keeping illegals on via the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) scheme:

    Here is a round up for this week of some more items on the road to decay and disintegration.
    Dr Andrew Joyce writes for the Occidental observer.net, and other Alt Right publications. As far as I am aware, he has no criminal record, but he has been denied entry to America! So, in the past have other Alt Right folk, although radical jihadist preachers, and Left lunatics can come and go as they please:

     Here are there top fears:
1.    “Having to wait in the house all day for a delivery because the delivery man did not specifically say what time he would arrive.
2.    Forgetting log-in passwords.
3.    Leaving your phone at home.
4.    No free WiFi at the hotel.
5.    The buffering sign when you are streaming something online.
6.    Standing in public transport.
7.    Running for the bus/train only to have the doors close on your face.
8.    Forgetting your umbrella and then finding out it’s raining.
9.    Having to get out of bed to turn off the lights.
10.    Finding an empty bottle in the fridge that was put there by a lazy roommate.
11.    Being unable to find the TV remote just as your favorite show is starting.
12.    Being “seen-zoned”: when a friend sees your message but doesn’t bother to reply.
13.    Having to put on pants just to open the door.
14.    When an avocado isn’t ripe enough.
15.    Not having enough hangers that you reach the point where you pile your clothes on one hanger.
16.    Running out of toilet paper.
17.    When restaurant crew people don’t bring condiments with your food and you have to ask them for some.
18.    Your laptop is low on battery but your charger is in another room.
19.    Realizing the milk has run out after boiling the kettle.
20.    Sat Nav re-routing.”

     The Las Vegas shooting could prove to be America’s Port Arthur, designed for the same purpose, that of gun banning. At first, I did not think this was other than a tragedy, but too many questions remain open.

     First, while the gun banners have been jumping up and down with glee, using the shooter, Stephen Paddock as an example of an ordinary gun guy, who went “postal,” so by implication, all White men could do so as well, it was actually a private security guard who stopped the massacre. Dean Weingarten explains:

This less than 14 minute audio is prime importance.
I suggest getting your own stand alone power supply ASAP, as you may NOT get power elsewhere.

     I agree with Tom North when he had a go at our local journos for their gutless coverage of the Las Vegas shooting. Everything was propaganda, pushed to gun control, rather than attempting to get to the truth about an event. Hard questions are not being asked in our press about this event.

     For example, the mainstream narrative is directly challenged by revelations that Stephen Paddock had a guest with him during his stay at the Mandalay Bay hotel before the massacre:
https://www.infowars.com/receipt-shows-paddock-had-another-guest-in-his-room-before-shooting/
This is slowly starting to be reported by the mainstream media:

     We knew it, it was only a matter of time. The globalists elites do not take defeats lightly:

It will take so long to transition out of the EU, that by that time there will be more than enough “migrants” to ensure a new vote, and put those Brits right back in their place.  Remember, Britain, like Australia and the United States, is on schedule to serve the elites by becoming non-white majority real soon:

     Time to take to the streets in protest, Britain, while you still can!

     It is hard to keep up with the nonsense coming from the commo New World Order Pope. The latest is that refugees and migrants are “warriors of hope,” and that nations should have open borders blah, blah:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/10/01/pope-francis-tells-migrants-you-are-warriors-of-hope/
     Time for a movement to boycott and abandon Catholicism, so that the Pope feels some financial pain. Or, he can convert to Islam, which would be the next logical thing to do. Yes, do that.

     I have long been a supporter of global cooling and have always encourage people to consume as much as possible and burn fires all day (legally of course) to increase their carbon footprint. None of this trendy global warming nonsense for me.

    Now my extreme prejudices may be proven correct, as one of the world’s largest super volcanoes may well be ready to erupt:

    While the elites like to promote High Noon (1952), directed by Stanley Kramer, as a great Western, I disagree. This movie has early political correctness, adultery, premarital sex and interracialism, and it is a wonder that it got through at the time, but, with reflection,  maybe it is not really a wonder.

     Instead, I like The Searchers (1956), with John Wayne, directed by John Ford. This movie oozes testosterone, and is John Wayne at his macho finest, playing Ethan Edwards, who eats Clint Eastwood’s “Man With No Name” for diner, and spits out the bones into the desert sands.

     America has had its worst shooting, with gunman Stephen Paddock slaughtering primarily White Americans at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest festival:
