We received some good feedback from an American intellectual dissident who liked one piece that I did on political correctness and free speech. She linked her article giving a survey of free speech in the United States, land of the once free, and gave us permission to reproduce it. The article is excellent, and we hope readers find it informative. For the minority of readers who may find the near apocalyptic concerns of some writers, somewhat exaggerated, it is important to realise that many thinkers are now going down the same path, as many of us, being concerned with a collapse of social institutions. If a number of sources, to take an example, told you that there was a plan by a crime mob to assassinate you tonight, I suppose all rational beings would take this seriously, and plan accordingly, even if it is all a wee bit grim. Grim, or black pillism, does not mean, false.

“WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF FREE SPEECH IN THE UNITED STATES?

     George Soros is worried about whether on not “Europe” will survive, what with all of those terrible nationalist/populist types. You see, “Europe” for George is defined as non-White, and based purely on eternal immigration. What we might call “Europe,” based upon traditional understandings, is simply rejected by him.
  https://www.foxnews.com/world/george-soros-says-europe-is-on-cusp-of-a-nightmare-as-right-wing-parties-set-to-win-big-in-european-election.amp

“Left-wing billionaire George Soros, in a rare op-ed, has fired a warning shot to what he describes as the “sleeping pro-European majority” ahead of the European Parliament elections in May -- saying Europe needs to "wake up before it is too late" and before nationalist parties take control. “Europe is sleepwalking into oblivion, and the people of Europe need to wake up before it is too late,” the Hungarian-American financier, known for his promotion of left-wing policies, he wrote for Project Syndicate. Soros is something of a bogeyman in right-wing circles due to his funding of left-wing causes both in Europe and the U.S. Hungary’s nationalist government recently passed a “Stop Soros” package to curtail his activities via his Open Society Foundations -- including a measure making it illegal for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to organize illegal immigration into the country. Last year, British media reported that Soros had delivered $560,000 to an anti-Brexit campaign, leading to accusations from Brexiteers that he was part of an international plot to stop Brexit and bring down the government. But with nationalist and right-wing parties on the rise in Europe, Soros is setting off alarm bells of his own. In his op-ed, he claims that “anti-European forces” will have a competitive advantage in May, when lawmakers to the European Parliament will be elected. He blames the “outdated party system” and “the lack of legal tools for disciplining member states that violate the principles on which the European Union was founded.”

     Where do we start in exploring the levels of fake news by the establishment? First, the Douma gas attack footage, used as a justification by the White House for the bombing of Syria, was fake, surprise, surprise:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-14/bbc-shocks-douma-gas-attack-scene-staged-producer-says-after-6-month-syria

“Now approaching nearly a year after the April 7, 2018 alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria — which the White House used as a pretext to bomb Syrian government facilities and bases throughout Damascus — a BBC reporter who investigated the incident on the ground has issued public statements saying the "Assad sarin attack" on Douma was indeed "staged". Riam Dalati is a well-known BBC Syria producer who has long reported from the region. He shocked his nearly 20,000 twitter followers on Wednesday, which includes other mainstream journalists from major outlets, by stating that after a "six month investigation" he has concluded, "I can prove without a doubt that the Douma Hospital scene was staged."

     President Trump has signed a spending bill, well over a thousand pages of dense, near-incomprehensible legal googley dook, which  has the implications of making it illegal for a border security wall to be built, and that the declaration of an emergency cannot override this. Along with this are clauses that only a Leftist lawyer would write, such as the banning of the deportation of any illegals claiming to be the parent of an illegal child, and strict limits on the numbers of deportations. Here is the bill in all of its globalist  evil:
  https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-joint-resolution/31/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22omnibus+spending%22%5D%7D&r=4&s=1

     My views are influenced by those of lawyer Ann Coulter, who says this:

     On 20th February The Australian published a substantial news report under the headline: ‘Australia “top pick for hate preachers”’. We learned that two Jews, Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, and Josh Burns, the preselected Labor candidate for the Melbourne seat of Macnamara, had appealed to Immigration Minister David Coleman to ban British writer David Icke from entry into Australia. Icke is a voluminous writer in the ‘alternative history’ field, some of whose work I looked at many years ago and decided was significantly unreliable. He struck me as comparable to that other extraordinary but deluded man, L. Ron Hubbard. I carry no flag for Icke’s work. His proposed tour was titled ‘Everything you need to know’, which suggests self-inflation.

     However, The Australian began its report by labelling him a ‘Holocaust denier.’ It stated that he has campaigned to have ‘Holocaust denial’ taught in schools, that he claims that the Rothschild family are among the leaders of an ‘Illuminati’ that runs the world, that he believes that ‘a small Jewish clique’ helped cause various disasters including both the world wars, the Bolshevik revolution, the global financial crisis in 2008 and the September 11 attacks. He may not be entirely wrong in all of that; and these are topics which may require open discussion if we are to make some sense of contemporary politics, national and international. The fact that an unreliable egoist holds forth on them does not justify excluding them or him from our public forums. The scare campaign started by Burns and Abramovich looks to contain gross exaggeration; and a Jewish demand to curtail criticism of Jews appears to be special pleading.

     The documentary “Jordan Peterson Dismantled,” is linked below. The basic argument is, that although Peterson did early good work attacking feminism, it was not particularly original. What Peterson has done though in more recent times, is to attack nationalism from the perspective of a self-focussed individualism, one of the very things which has put the West in its present precarious position:

“A documentary exposing Jordan Peterson's agenda to subvert and destroy the rising political right wing, and neutralize European nationalism. This video completely exposes Peterson's anti-White agenda and his strategy for implementing it. Any Peterson fans who are not beyond saving will be deprogrammed by watching this video. Jordan Peterson's primary goal is to neutralize the political right and White identity. He does not care about the Marxist take over of our nations, in fact he was hired by the United Nations to help usher it along. Peterson's only reason for stepping into the limelight was because he saw a massive right-wing backlash fomenting, and realized it was going to destroy the left. His job is to implement "plan B", to steer the rising tide of nationalism into an impotent cul-de-sac of centrist individualism, giving our enemies just enough time to tip the demographic balance of our countries so that our destruction is sealed. Peterson is explicitly targeting young White males for indoctrination with an insidious political ideology he calls radical individualism. He has created a pseudo-religion self-help cult; he is delivering his ideology to the disaffected youth by combining it with a self-help regimen wrapped in empty religious metaphor. While our enemies are working tirelessly to destroy our nations in a ruthlessly calculated and organized fashion, Jordan Peterson is brainwashing a generation of young White men to be atomized individuals who perceive group cooperation based on ethnic identity and nationality as the height of evil. And in the process of doing so, Peterson and his friends are making untold millions of dollars.”

     For Pope Francis, migrants are so fantastic that they are the Lord’s “privileged ones.” Ok, but he is not content with his job in the Recruitment section of the Department of Immigration. No, communism is not to be feared either:
  https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/02/pope-francis-urges-christians-to-overcome-fear-of-migrants-foreigners-are-also-the-lords-privileged-ones 
  https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2019/02/19/pope-francis-christians-should-not-fear-looking-like-communists/

“Too many Christians shy away from the social gospel, Pope Francis said Monday, because they are afraid the Church will end up looking like the communist party. God asks us lots of uncomfortable and inconvenient questions, the pope said in his homilyat morning Mass at the Santa Marta residence in the Vatican, just like he did in the garden of Eden, asking Cain, “Where is your brother?” knowing full well that Cain had killed his brother Abel. We are all responsible for one another, Francis said, especially for the poor and needy, even though we often try to back out of this duty. “We ease our conscience a little by giving alms, as long as it does not hurt too much,” he said, because we fear that “with these social things the Church ends up looking like the communist party and this bothers us. Fine, but it was the Lord who said, ‘Where is your brother?’ Not the party, the Lord.”

     The New York Times continues its attack upon all nationalism, taking a short breath from vilifying Trump, to blaming Israel for 9/11, as Pam Geller notes:
  https://gellerreport.com/2019/02/nyt-blames-jews-911.html/
  https://www.algemeiner.com/2019/02/17/new-york-times-claims-osama-bin-laden-motivated-by-news-coverage-of-displaced-palestinians/
  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/09/world/africa/africa-israel-palestinians-attacks.html

“The New York Times is suddenly and retroactively blaming Israel for motivating the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, without much evidence to support the claim. A recent Times news article about deadly attacks in Africa by affiliates of the terrorist group Al Qaeda blames them on President Trump’s decision to obey an American law that required him to move the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. The Times reports, “The attacks came fully seven months after President Trump moved the American Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the disputed holy city, which Mr. Trump recognized as the country’s capital. Widely seen as inflaming tensions and as a demonstration of the administration’s favoritism toward Israel in its long conflict with the Palestinians, the move drew condemnation at the time from many corners, including Al Qaeda and other extremist militant organizations.”

     There is an emerging contradiction between old school feminism, and trans-women.
  https://vdare.com/articles/fundamental-contradiction-will-feminists-submit-to-domination-by-transsexuals

     This has been seen in many cases of sporting triumph, but probably also in the academic rewards system. Feminists have held that gender is biological, when it suits them, namely when there is some supposed biological advantage to women, but mostly gender is seen as a social construct. On this view trans-women are perfectly legitimate. Now, I am not questioning any legitimacy here, but I wonder how this will all end? With the unrelenting attack upon manhood, what is there to stop every oppressed man, suddenly declaring that they are now “female”? This can be done without any surgery, because gender is just in the social mind, a social construct So, how will the system deal with this hypothetical?

     When he is not being photographed with sweaty gang bangers, or fleeing from yellow vest protectors, French President Macron, like the Pope, sings the virtues and inevitability of mass immigration to the West:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/02/06/macron-mass-migration-attack-walls/

“We are living in a world of mass migration,” Emmanuel Macron has proclaimed, warning citizens not to be “deceived” by claims Europe could stem the flow, because border walls “don’t work”. At a town hall in the suburbs of Essonne, a migrant-heavy department south of Paris which was hit hard during the 2005 riots, the French president also hinted he was in favour of amnesty for illegal immigrants while answering questions during what was his first urban appearance as part of a ‘grand debate’ tour. Responding to a question on whether non-citizens should be granted the right to vote in local elections, Macron said he would rather boost the number of French passports the government hands out. “Basically the real subject today is access to citizenship,” he told the 300-strong audience in Évry-Courcouronnes, which was reportedly packed with “community representatives” in addition to local mayors and other elected representatives. After explaining he preferred to focus on lowering high abstention rates seen at some elections rather than giving foreigners the vote, Macron said he wanted to give migrants “a path to French citizenship if they have been living here for a long time”.

     Watching the Burdekin Falls Dam with around six metres of water going over the spillway following flood rains in the catchment, we must remember that this is not a rare occurrence. As far back as 1875 there are records of the Burdekin River rising over 18 metres in just a few hours and repeated reports of 1 to 6 metres of water above the bridge deck at Inkerman. Records of high river flows lasting weeks and months are not uncommon. Following a cyclone in December 1974 the river remained at flood height until April 1975. These flood flows can exceed 5 mega-litres per second (almost half a million ML every day). This is sufficient to fill our oldest irrigation storage, Burrinjuck Dam, from empty, every two days.

     The roar of this cascading water is the roar of waste – wasted water that will be needed in years of little or no flow. It is also the roar of flood water that is destroying people’s lives and carrying sediment and nutrients that some say may damage the Great Barrier Reef. We can avoid this flooding. We can store this water for later use. We can use it to produce cheap clean power and vastly increase productivity across the Burdekin Basin. With vision and planning we can use it to drought-proof much of central and western Queensland. Why don’t we do it?

     A NSW judge (an ex-solicitor and activist from the Environmental Defenders Office) has stopped development of the small Rocky Hill coking coal mine because the Commonwealth Government has signed the Paris Climate agreement which requires “rapid and deep reduction in GHG emissions”. Two things are obvious. Firstly, this delusional decision must be appealed and overturned. Secondly, Australia must immediately withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. If this decision is not overturned, every development of coal, oil or gas in Australia can be challenged. But the ominous implications go much further. The sports and tourism industries should be fearful. These industries encourage millions of competitors, visitors, tourists, officials and politicians to use cars, trains, buses, planes and ships to burn hydro-carbon fuels purely for entertainment. Car racing is out, as are new cruise terminals, stadiums, resorts, high rise hotels and fireworks.

     Moreover, any new road, rail or airport development will add emissions and must be stopped along with any expansion of the grazing or timber industries and the brewing of beer. There are some good things – it should mark the end of tax-funded climate jamborees and study tours for politicians – they should stay in their electorates and conduct electronic meetings via their own expensive NBN. But if they can stop the mining of coking coal this will also stop metal smelting, refining and steel making. Naturally Adani can expect even more green law-fare barriers. This decision surely marks the high water mark of climate lunacy.

     You know how bad things are when a man can race 200 miles and get to his injured mother before an ambulance:
  https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-47146518

“A man who travelled nearly 200 miles to reach his injured mother arrived before an ambulance reached her. Mark Clements caught a bus, tube and two trains from London to Exmouth, Devon on Saturday after his 77-year-old mother fell and broke her hip. The initial 999 call was made at 09:00 GMT but paramedics did not arrive until seven hours later. South Western Ambulance Service apologised and said it was experiencing "an unprecedented rise in demand". Mr Clements said he and his family - some of whom were waiting with his mother - were "appalled" by what happened. "My mother was lying in an awkward position on a cold conservatory floor and was unable to move," he said. Mr Clements took three hours and 40 minutes to travel from London to Exmouth, arriving at his mother's home at 15:10, about 50 minutes before the ambulance crew. He said relatives called 999 on six different occasions but it was seven hours before an ambulance arrived. "An ambulance station is less than 10 minutes from my mother's home," he added. When paramedics eventually arrived, Mr Clements said they were "equally appalled and astonished" at the delay.”

     For those who think we are all a bit pessimistic, that things are not as bad as we say, that we are influenced too much by the American and European situations, this one is for you:

     It will be a great irony when the housing bubble finally bursts, for Australia, since 1947, the beginning of the great replacement, has been simply geared around migrants and the housing industry to make profits for the ruling elites who run that show. I for one will be pleased, over-joyed in fact, if I end up  dying  on the streets, homeless, just to see to see this whole castle of glass come crashing down:

     Her we have a good example of how out of touch the chattering class are with reality, as a professor laments that there are too many white firefighters:
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/12/20/ucla-professor-too-many-firefighters-are-white/

“A UCLA professor argued in a recent article for the Harvard Business Review that too many Americans firefighters are white. Professor Corinne Bendensky of UCLA penned a column for the Harvard Business Reviewentitled “Making U.S. Fire Departments More Diverse and Inclusive.” The column argues white men exercise a “dominance” over the fire service. “Picture a typical firefighter,” Bendensky poses. “Who comes to mind? If you imagined a white man, that’s understandable: 96% of U.S. career firefighters are men, and 82% are white. This homogeneity is striking, especially when you compare it to the U.S. military, which is 85% men and 60% white, and local police forces, which are 88% men and 73% white.”

     The French yellow vest protests appear to becoming more radical, not petering out as the media hoped, with hands being torn off, and houses of elites being fire bombed, and action, action, and more action:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6685729/Yellow-Vest-violence-erupts-streets-Paris-THIRTEENTH-weekend-row.html

“Violence broke out on the streets of Paris today as anti-riot police confronted a mass of French yellow vest protesters on the 13th consecutive weekend of demonstrations. Tear gas and baton charges were used around the Champs Elysee, after demonstrators threw stones at officers and vandals tried to smash shop windows. Shocking footage shows protesters gathering around a man whose hand appears to have been ripped off which spurts blood as he cries in pain. Other grisly scenes show demonstrators trying to topple boards, throwing planks of wood and cornering police as more tear gas is thrown. Many businesses were shut as the Yellow Vests - who are named after their high visibility jackets - mobilised across the country. …

     I am not a theologian, or even a profound thinker; maybe not a thinker at all. But my gut instincts have saved my life on many occasions, especially in ‘Nam. Thus, I note with concern, the trend among Christians of pacifism, and anti-guns. The situation in Australia is much worse than in America, as I think we are more cucked and weaker. But the trend exists here too. This has been noted by the Christian survivalist writer John Wesley Rawles:

“There is a distressing passivity and fatalism in the church these days.  Many have been suckered by the false meekness of pacifism and even flaunt their defenseless, as if it is a badge of honor!  To them, trusting in God means denying themselves the God-given right and command to defend themselves and others.  For them, faith is submitting to all authority, even if that is the ‘authority’ of a scumbag caving their head in, or the head of their child with a club or simply accepting raping murderers into the country without question.  They turn their cheek to make it easier for their attacker to slit their throat.  Not only is this attitude disgustingly delusional, it is cowardice gilded with false piety. I am not exaggerating with this example.  When I took my mandated training course for my CCW permit, the instructor, a devoted Christian, told us a horrifying anecdote:  While at a conference, he was advertising his business and an irate woman told him firearms, and for that matter self-defense have no place in the life of a Christian. Calmly asking what she would do if someone held a gun to her child’s head, the child having shown interest in this man’s booth, he received the response “If they died, that’s God’s will.”  I hope you are as sickened and disturbed by this response as I was.”

     Previously I commented on the New York Senate pro-abortion Act, which permits the killing of unborn babies right up to the instant of birth, and beyond. Abortionists can kill babies that survive the abortion, even if they are viable, which by definition is infanticide. Naturally, nothing about this appeared in the Australian press, because it shows where the abortion industry ends up. Decades ago, it was argued that the problem of abortion was the restriction that it placed upon women, with one famous article by a leading feminist philosopher comparing it to be involuntarily attached to some famous violist, if my failing memory serves me well. So, how does that justify infanticide?
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Defense_of_Abortion

“In "A Defense of Abortion", Thomson grants for the sake of argument that the fetus has a right to life, but defends the permissibility of abortion by appeal to a thought experiment:

     I often lay awake at night, being a chronic insomniac, and spend my time trying to anticipate what will be the next thing attacked by the elites, and by that I mean those who run the show, and by that I mean the 1 percenters. After all, people like me are totally powerless, but those with billionaires are not. Doesn’t that seem uncontroversial? Well, don’t bet on it, because now even talking about billionaires is politically incorrect. Use instead, “people of means.”
  https://www.rt.com/usa/450710-howard-schultz-billionaire-wealth/

“Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz doesn’t like people using the term 'billionaires' to describe billionaires, instead, the multi-billionaire prefers the term ‘people of means.’ Speaking at a Barnes & Noble book event last week, Schultz responded to a question about whether billionaires have too much power in the US by focusing on the term ‘billionaire.’
