“More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals. The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.”

     The Saltbush Club today called on the Morrison Government to come clean on what additional burdens for Australians are being discussed at COP24, the UN climate jamboree now taking place in Poland. The Secretary of The Saltbush Club, Mr Viv Forbes of Australia, said that Australia will suffer badly from the destructive energy policies being promoted by the UN’s war on cheap, reliable hydro-carbon fuels. “Like the Trump supporters in USA, Brexit in Britain, Solidarity in Poland, the Yellow Vests in France and the new Brazilian government we do not support the UN energy plans and we fear their hidden agenda. “Australia’s backbone industries were built on cheap reliable power. We have huge overheads in the bureaucracy, academia and the welfare state which must be supported by real industry - mining and smelting, farming, fishing, forestry, processing, transport and manufacturing. These industries rely on hydro-carbon energy – coal, gas, oil, diesel and petrol. “Because Australia has no nuclear or geothermal power, limited hydro potential, an aging fleet of coal generators and several bans on gas exploration, we are very vulnerable to the UN’s war on hydro-carbons.

“PM Morrison must answer three specific questions:

To The Australian        Paul Monk has offered a sturdy defence both of free speech (as a principle) and the ways in which our political order should be shaped in order to facilitate it ("The rules for civil engagement", 8-9/12). Yes, we should indeed "agree to open contentious subjects up to discussion, not shut them down." Monk does us a service by recommending Nadine Strossen's new book Hate: Why We Should Resist It With Free Speech, Not Censorship. The litmus test for this intellectual idealism is "Holocaust revisionism." At present this subject is usually shirked by otherwise honourable defenders of liberty; but, until the situation changes, decent persons in several nations will continue to be persecuted for expressing their dissident views; and the great service of men such as the late Professor Robert Faurisson will be largely ignored rather than thoughtfully analysed.

“Aboriginal people who do not live in the City of Melbourne could be given voting and candidate rights as “traditional owners”. An issues paper by the council said eligibility for enrolment and candidacy was currently restricted to residents, business owners and property owners. The paper said that, while many “traditional custodians” may not be residents or ratepayers within the council area, “the decisions and actions of the City of Melbourne Council have a particular impact on traditional custodians and their lands and waters”. “Aboriginals who are traditional custodians are recognised as having a link to land that is far stronger and deeper than many recognised land rights in the current electoral system,” it said. Councillor Nicolas Frances Gilley wants the council to approach the Andrews Government to amend the City of Melbourne Act to set up a special electoral franchise for traditional owners.” 

     Remember the old argument against immigration, popular when the White Australia Policy was first fought for, that immigration acts to destroy Australian workers’ wages? Guess what? A chapter in a new book by A. Stewart (et al.),  The Wage Crisis in Australia, (2018), by Iain Campbell, “Temporary Migrant Workers (TMWs), Underpayment and Predatory business Models,” shows that Australia’s immigration system is undercutting the wages of Australian workers:
  https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2018/11/australias-immigration-system-undercuts-australian-workers/

“This chapter argues that the expansion of temporary labour migration is a significant development in Australia and that it has implications for wage stagnation… Three main facts about their presence in Australia are relevant to the discussion of wage stagnation. First, there are large numbers of TMWs in Australia, currently around 1.2 million persons. Second, those numbers have increased strongly over the past 15 years. Third, when employed, many TMWs are subject to exploitation, including wage payments that fall below — sometimes well below — the minimum levels specified in employment regulation… One link to slow wages growth, as highlighted by orthodox economics, stems from the simple fact of increased numbers, which add to labour supply and thereby help to moderate wages growth. This chapter argues, however, that the more salient point concerns the way many TMWs are mistreated within the workplace in industry sectors such as food services, horticulture, construction, personal services and cleaning. TMW underpayments, which appear both widespread in these sectors and systemic, offer insights into labour market dynamics that are also relevant to the general problem of slow wages growth…

     First the situation gets inflamed, then there is a trigger event that finally pushes things over the edge, and war happens, so that all of the “Mother Courage” types can get richer, unless of course it turns into full-on nuclear apocalypse, in which case, the parasites of war die too.

“The arrest of a top Chinese technology executive by Canadian authorities acting at the behest of the United States is threatening to upend the Trump administration’s efforts to sustain a trade truce with China. The arrest of Sabrina Meng, the chief financial officer of China’s largest mobile phone marker, has been condemned by Chinese officials, who are calling for her immediate release. The U.S. has reportedly requested Meng be extradited to New York, where she would reportedly face federal charges of violating Iran sanctions. Hu Xijin, the editor in chief of the Global Times, described the arrest as a “declaration of war” against China, according to the New York Times.  The Global Times is a state-run newspaper whose views are thought to reflect the ruling communist party in China.

     They must have sneaked this one through while we were sleeping or otherwise not looking, as the Assistance and Access Bill crawled through like a brown snake. Here is the next New World Order step:
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/12/06/australia-passes-bill-allowing-government-to-bypass-messaging-encryption/

“The Australian Parliament passed a bill on Thursday which will allow government agencies to bypass encryption and access private messages on apps through “backdoors.” One security expert said the law “poison-pills their entire domestic tech industry.” According to Fortune, the Assistance and Access Bill will force technology companies “to help the country’s security agencies bypass the encryption in private messaging apps.” The bill will also “allow the police to tell the likes of WhatsApp and Signal that they must build in so-called backdoors, to give investigators access to the contents of messages—but only if the backdoors don’t constitute ‘systemic weaknesses’ in the service’s security.” As reported by Fortune, the bill was condemned by security experts who claimed the “backdoors” would weaken security in the nation by creating “a target for other countries’ spy agencies and corporate spies who might want to see what people are discussing.” “Over in Australia they’re shooting themselves in the face with a shockingly technically nonsensical encryption backdoor law,” declared popular systems security commentator SwiftOnSecurity. “Doesn’t even help it just poison-pills their entire domestic tech industry, breaks imports.” “There are no safe backdoors,” posted the Tor Project on Twitter in response to the bill.”

     When the real hard-core socialist parliamentarians rule, what can we expect? Well, in the US, which is a test case for what is coming our way, we are seeing the thought processes embodied in the likes of Hispanic millennial congress woman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. For example, in response to Donald Trump junior making fun of the enormous number of gaffes that she has made, she responded:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
✔@Ocasio2018

I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up. Please, keep it coming Jr - it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.

     Yes, it is the holiday season, a time of love and joy,  but I have come to hate the hypocrisy of these UN climate types. As one wit has put it: “Nothing says Imminent Climate catastrophe quite like 28,000 United Nations affiliated people flying into Poland, spewing millions of litres of aviation fuel into the atmosphere to attend the UN climate conference, to convince the world there is an imminent climate catastrophe.”
  https://mobile.twitter.com/KeiraSavage00/status/1070716139200598017

     So, we have, according to the UN only 12 years until climatic doomsday, but the UN itself admits that this conference will have a carbon footprint of 55,000 tons of CO2, taking 6 million trees 20 years to offset. If these false-environmental prophets, sorry, profits, fools really do think that the planet is hurtling towards disaster, then it is because of socialists like that. The ordinary people, who keep close to the ground have low carbon impacts, but they are the ones the jet-setting elites point there claws at. Disgusting!

     The British armed forces were once to be feared, but no more. But will they return to their former glory after some time spent wandering in the metaphorical desert? Sure, the answer is diversity, and the more the better:

“The Armed Forces of the United Kingdom have become mired in identity politics, with the British Army bragging that it is winning the “race for diversity” against the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. “[M]ultiple long-term targets [were] set out by the country’s defence and military leaders” to increase military diversity in 2015, according to military interest news source the Forces Network, with an increase in the proportion of BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) personnel in the Regular Forces to 10 per cent by 2020 becoming a key target. “As of March this year, annual intake reached a hopeful 9.1 per cent,” the report notes. At present, the British Army appears to be leading the pack, with 11.1 per cent BAME personnel, compared with the Royal Navy and Royal Marines on 3.8 per cent, and the Royal Air Force “struggling” on 2.3 per cent. “Diversity and inclusion is critical to our success and will give us the operational edge we need,” claimed Secretary of State for Defence Gavin Williamson, a Remain-supporting MP with a background in pottery sales, rather than the armed forces. “We are committed to delivering a more inclusive culture and a more diverse workforce at all levels,” he added.

Professors at top universities in the UK and abroad including Oxford, Cambridge and Princeton published the open letter demanding Cambridge carry out an investigation into its appointment process.

     The old Left, that which helped create the White Australia Policy, was anti-globalist, and nationalist. This Left was displaced by the 1960s revolution, which saw feminism and identity politics, filtered through cultural Marxism, arise. Yet, our enemies are not completely homogeneous, as an interesting article from the Left/socialist position by Angela Nagle, “The Left Case Against Open Borders,” details:
  https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2018/11/the-left-case-against-open-borders/

“The transformation of open borders into a “Left” position is a very new phenomenon and runs counter to the history of the organized Left in fundamental ways. Open borders has long been a rallying cry of the business and free market Right. Drawing from neoclassical economists, these groups have advocated for liberalizing migration on the grounds of market rationality and economic freedom. They oppose limits on migration for the same reasons that they oppose restrictions on the movement of capital. The Koch-funded Cato Institute, which also advocates lifting legal restrictions on child labor, has churned out radical open borders advocacy for decades, arguing that support for open borders is a fundamental tenet of libertarianism, and “Forget the wall already, it’s time for the U.S. to have open borders.” The Adam Smith Institute has done much the same, arguing that “Immigration restrictions make us poorer.”

     Greg Sheridan is right to praise the integrity and courage of Pastor Wang Yi ("Pastor endures Chinese persecution with fortitude", 20/12) and the pastor is right, in his public statement of faith, to stress that the primary goal of the Church is "to testify about another world, to prove to the world its real existence."

Some are being treated for infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and chickenpox. The Tijuana Health Department warned that many of the migrants residing in their city are presenting serious health issues, Fox News reported on Thursday morning. A spokesman for the agency said that more than 2,200 of the estimated 6,000 caravan migrants are currently being treated. Of these, there are four confirmed cases of HIV/AIDS, four cases of chickenpox, and three cases of tuberculosis, the official stated. The department also claims that more than 100 migrants are infested with lice and there are multiple instances of skin infections. Officials also expressed concern that the unsanitary conditions in the shelters could lead to an outbreak of Hepatitis.”

     The weakness of President Trump was revealed yet again by his remarks about the Obama administration spying on his campaign, when he said that if he had done it, Obama and the Democrat thugs would have been after him for treason:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6429935/Trump-rips-Obamas-administration-spying-campaign.html

“President Trump ripped into Obama and his administration for 'spying' on his presidential campaign, claiming if the same had happened to the former president it would be considered treason, audio tapes obtained by DailyMail.com reveal. In Trump's Enemies: How the Deep State Is Undermining the Presidency, authors Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager, and David Bossie, deputy campaign manager and part of the transition team, sat down with Trump for a 45-minute interview, covering a wide-range of topics, including the Mueller probe, fake news and his strained relationship with Obama. When asked if he believed Obama knew that his appointed CIA chief John Brennan and director of national intelligence (DNI) James Clapper were conducting surveillance on citizens, specifically members of his campaign, Trump said he believed the former president was aware of what they were doing. Trump responded: 'Personally, I think he knew. Yeah. Just remember what they did.

     We share a moment to reflect upon the legacy of George H. W. Bush (1924-2018), 41st president of the US. Yes, here was a true globalist man, who did his bit in continuing the New World order, and was not afraid of using that term, because things have gone swimmingly well for the globalists, and they could relax and stretch out a bit in comfort. Bush signed the Immigration Act of 1990, massively increasing Third World immigration to America. Eagerly he negotiated the free trade NAFTA agreement, but it was left to Bill Clinton, when he was not having sex with interns, to sign it into law. Then there was the Gulf War, war for oil. Overall, for a globalist he did well. For America, he did nothing but dragged the country down further. I leave you with the infamous New World Order video, old George at his globalist peak:

To The Australian        It is a curious synchronicity that sees political forces attempting to stampede the UK into abandoning Brexit, while other such forces are trying to stampede the Australian people and our Liberal Party into severing links with anything that smacks of the "right wing" or conservatism. Let us hope that each people can keep its head and avoid self-destructing. In this context it is good that Tony Abbott is still buoyantly pugnacious ("Defiant Abbott says he could be PM again", 1-2/12). After the next elections he should be given a senior parliamentary role; but the Liberal Party will be wise to stay with Scott Morrison as leader to maintain stability and its “broad church” appeal. Meanwhile there is a rise in hectic fanaticism and excited triumphalism in the ranks of many on the Left. We should, like Abbott, not lie down meekly before it.

To The Australian        Comments critical of Brexit by surgeons planning to leave the UK ("Workers' exodus signals end of a European dream", 4/12) illuminate one aspect of the tragedy involved in constitutional change: a clash of mutually incompatible idealistic dreams. Paolo Mueisan is "disappointed that the European dream of working and living in a borderless world has failed." Oncologist Alfredo Addeo says that a UK within the EU was for him "the prototype of multiculturalism and integration." Neither man shows any awareness of the historical fact that the British were incorporated into the EU by political dishonesty and trickery, notably that of Conservative prime minister Edward Heath. Nor do the two express any sympathy for the alternative dream held by the 52% who voted for Leave in 2016: resumption of an independent and free Britain and escape from a noxious bureaucratic tyranny. There is a lesson here for Australians: idealistic-sounding constitutional changes proposed for us by powerful lobby groups (the republic, constitutional recognition) may contain great disadvantages that would threaten our own traditional "Australian dream." We can learn from the UK experience not to be beguiled.
