The elites can hold multiple contradictions and falsehoods in their head, so long as it advances their agenda. Consider:

“Former President Jimmy Carter suggested Friday that President Trump’s victory in 2016 was illegitimate due to Russian interference in the election. During a panel discussion on human rights issues at the Carter Center conference, the former president contended that a proper investigation into the extent of Russian meddling would, in fact, reveal President Trump did not win the White House.”

     It is one thing to censor us, as part of the process of exterminating people like me, like the insect life we are, but quite another that countries like Russia dare to censor the cream of liberal culture. It is simply shocking, and reason enough for Donald Trump, himself as progressive on this issue as anyone to launch a full-scale nuclear attack of Putin, aiming right for his castle:

“Elton John took to Twitter on Friday to respond to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent interview with the Financial Times. In the interview, published on Thursday, Putin said Russia has "no problem with LGBT persons. ... Let everyone be happy," but John, 72, called Putin's words hypocritical since a Russian distributor censored LGBTQ-related scenes from "Rocketman," a film based on John's life and career. "Dear President Putin, I was deeply upset when I read your recent interview in The Financial Times," the "Tiny Dancer" singer wrote. "I strongly disagree with your view that pursuing policies that embrace multicultural and sexual diversity are obsolete in our societies." He continued: "I find duplicity in your comment that you want LGBT people to 'be happy' and that 'we have no problem in that'. Yet Russian distributors chose to heavily censor my film 'Rocketman' by removing all references to my finding true happiness through my 25-year relationship with [husband] David [Furnish] and the raising of my two beautiful sons. "This feels like hypocrisy to me," John added. "I am proud to live in a part of the world where our governments have evolved to recognise the universal human right to love whoever we want."

     Dropping her pants like the other female singers apparently does not get ageing rocker Madonna the attention she used to get. Sad. Now she is going to the next level, gun control:

   https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/06/28/pulse-shooting-survivor-calls-out-madonna-over-gruesome-god-control-music-video/

“Left-wing pop star Madonna released the eight-minute music video for her new single “God Control” depicting a gruesome mass shooting and a warning: “this is your wake-up call.” The main theme of the video centers on club-goers being shot in ripped from the headlines-style scenes resembling the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, which saw a gunman kill 49, injuring 53 more. “I made this video because I want to draw attention to a crisis that needs to be addressed. To me, this is the biggest problem in America right now,” pop icon said. Madonna took to social media to share the video, which includes a disclaimer: “The story you’re about to see is very disturbing. But it’s happening everywhere and it has to stop.”

     It is the logic of Leftism and globalism, to give all priority to migrants, the replacement group. It is only logical. Thus, Sweden is moving in the right direction on the housing issue:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/06/29/swedish-youth-face-housing-shortage-migrants-given-priority/

“A survey from the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building, and Planning has shown that while young people are struggling to find homes, half of the local governments give new migrants priority. The survey, which saw data gathered from 290 Swedish municipalities, highlighted the fact that young Swedes are having an increasingly difficult time finding housing with 230 saying they had a shortage for young people, Nyheter Idag reports. Fewer municipalities, 221, said they had a shortage of housing for new migrants, and 135 said they had given preference to new migrants for housing, compared to just 12 who said they had given young people priority for homes in their areas.”

     No wonder they are driving for internet censorship, since false news bs can be exposed and debunked, then abandoned in only one news cycle now. The latest woman who claims that Trump raped her, who has a book to sell, not only went on TV and said that people think that rape is sexy, thus causing the mainstream to literally drop her like a hot over-cooked spud, but her claim has been exposed as plagiarised from the ultra pc TV show, Law and Order SVU, which is not a recreational vehicle, but refers to “special victims” facing especially “heinous” crimes. The episode is season 13, episode 11, and she did not even bother to change the name of the department store!

This is my way of saying it. This is my word. My word is ‘fight,'” she explained. “My word is not the victim word. I have not – I have not been raped,” she continued. “I have – something has not been done to me. I fought. That’s the thing”:

     With the US/China trade war now apparently called off by the orange joke,  Trump, China, being once more victorious, has issued a warning to the world, well summed up by this recent Newsweek headline: “CHINA'S MILITARY WARNS U.S. MUST GET WITH THE TIMES: 'THOSE WHO RESIST WILL PERISH'”
  https://www.newsweek.com/china-warn-us-perish-1446338

“China's military called on the United States to adopt a modern way of thinking in dealing with the People's Republic, warning America that it risked falling behind. Speaking at a press conference Thursday, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Senior Colonel Ren Guoqiang condemned the Pentagon's recent Indo-Pacific Strategy Report, which accused Beijing of seeking "to reorder the region to its advantage by leveraging military modernization, influence operations, and predatory economics to coerce other nations." He said the ministry was "firmly opposed to its negative contents concerning China," citing some specific points of contention. "No strategy should go against the times," Ren explained. "The trend of the world is mighty and overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper while those who resist will perish. Peace, development and win-win cooperation are the trends of our times. Any strategy that is closed and exclusive, which is against the general trends, is doomed to failure." He also argued that "no strategy should harm the well-being of people all over the world" or "underscore the confrontation side of relations," calling for greater international dialogue and less unilateral behavior.”

     I saw this coming, but over in the land of the totally crazy, they are dealing with the social breakdown, reflected in the blackboard jungle, by wearing body armour:

“Growing up, all she wanted was to become a teacher. She realized her dream, and at first she loved the job. But now she says violence in the classroom has spun so far out of control that she has to wear protective sleeves to guard against attacks by students. "I've seen principals get hurt by students, I've seen blood on them. [Educational Assistants] get kicked in the head, punched, spit at," she said. CBC has agreed to protect the teacher's identity because she fears speaking to the media could harm her career. Her concerns match those of other educators across Ontario who say the verbal abuse and physical violence is leaving them injured and exhausted, and are calling on school boards and the province to provide more support. The teacher worked at several schools in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) and is qualified to teach students between Grades 4 and 12. She began teaching about 15 years ago, but it was only after returning from time off to have children that she realized things had changed for the worse. "I remember my first day back in a particular school, and I got home and I just wanted to call and say I'm not coming back," she said. Because her elementary school classroom had students with severe behavioural issues, the teacher said she was required to wear protective sleeves on her arms to guard against pinching, scratching and biting. "I was thinking of the students in the class, like, how do they feel about seeing their teachers in armour? I'm still in shock about it."

     It did not take too much time for pop icon Taylor Swift to come out, so to speak, and advance one of more globalist agenda. I thought that she may have gone the way of Mylie Cyrus doing the sex stuff, nudity and all that, but no, she is taking the political road, following the LGBTQ +(did I get all of the letters right?) road:
  https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/taylor-swift-punches-down-lgbt-rednecks/

“Have you seen the new Taylor Swift video? She takes a bold, courageous stance in favor of LGBT rights, and against the drooling mobs of orthographically challenged Red State bigots. Taylor and her cool LGBT friends have taken over a trailer park— get it! Ha ha! See, according to leading pop star Taylor Swift (estimated net worth: $320 million), redneck white people are not only anti-gay, but their religion is stupid, and they can’t spell. Oh, my ribs hurt from laughing, I tell you what. But seriously: this is what you call “punching down.” There is no easier target in the world for a pop star worth $320 million than anti-gay working-class and rural white Christians. I imagine Taylor Swift thinks herself brave. In today’s New York Post, David Harsanyi writes about Fall, a new sci-fi novel that envisions a future United States split between the violent, gun-toting, uneducated, cross-burning religious fanatics of bullet-ridden “Ameristan” and the peaceful, educated, secular denizens of the nation’s Blue enclaves, where decorum and truth always prevail.

     Here is an unusual aspect of immigration and open borders; conventional crime syndicates, who have been comfortable for decades, maybe centuries, face being out gunned by new bloods, migrants with fire in their bellies and a desire to succeed in the world world of organised crime, and can we really blame them? No, The Washington Post tossed me off, no freebies there. But still we have:

     The actual facts of the US case before the Supreme court is not too important for us, but rather the judicial dynamics. In Flowers v. Mississippi, Kavanaugh wrote majority opinion overturning a sixth conviction of a cold-blooded murderer who was convicted of killing four people 23 years ago. We should remember Kavanaugh as the Trump appointment that drove the left crazy because they thought that he was going to just like Black Judge Thomas, a literal constitutionalist and conservative. But this judge is just another white liberal. In Flowers, there was no doubt the defendant was guilty, but Kavanaugh was convinced that the jury was “racist.” The judgment was so unhinged that Justice Thomas, a Black man, in dissent called this out as virtue signalling:
  https://www.conservativereview.com/news/thomas-dissent-rips-kavanaugh-scotus-opinion-racial-politics/

“Justice Thomas shot back in his dissent and noted that not only does he disagree with the underlying premise and recent precedent (in Foster v. Chatman) that such facts would be grounds to overturn a conviction, but he disagrees with the notion that there was discriminatory intent. “The only clear errors in this case are committed by today’s majority,” wrote a clearly irate Thomas, who is getting tired of these cases. Confirming that we never should have taken this case, the Court almost entirely ignores—and certainly does not refute—the race-neutral reasons given by the State for striking Wright and four other black prospective jurors. Two of these prospective jurors knew Flowers’ family and had been sued by Tardy Furniture—the family business of one of the victims and also of one of the trial witnesses. One refused to consider the death penalty and apparently lied about working side-by-side with Flowers’ sister. One was related to Flowers and lied about her opinion of the death penalty to try to get out of jury duty. And one said that because she worked with two of Flowers’ family members, she might favor him and would not consider only the evidence presented. The state courts’ findings that these strikes were not based on race are the opposite of clearly erroneous; they are clearly correct.

To The Australian        The University of New South Wales is being too prescriptive in its published guidelines for staff concerning Aboriginal history ("Don't put date on Aboriginal arrival, Uni says", 29-30/6). It is laughable to suggest that it can be "harmful or damaging" to anyone if a commentator gives an opinion on the length of time our Aboriginal people have lived on our continent. Seeking to forbid such discussion is indeed an unacceptable intrusion on free speech. At the same time, respect can be paid to the traditional Aboriginal statement that they have been here "since the beginning of the Dreaming". That is a mythological statement that gives meaning to a people's sense of identity and purpose, just as does the Genesis account of the creation of the world in six days. An important distinction must be made, too, between "the Aboriginal people" and Australians living now who have Aboriginal ancestry. None of the latter "have always been in Australia from the beginning of time" or "came from the land." Acceptance of this distinction will curb excessive claims for special treatment.

To The Age        I'm puzzled by a quoted remark of leading workplace lawyer Josh Bornstein ("Caught in the scrum", 29/6) that "the free speech warriors of the right are almost without exception complete hypocrites" because when "someone of the left says something they oppose", they jettison their commitment to the principle of free speech. Who can he mean? To what contexts does he refer? As a lifetime conservative commentator, I'm sceptical of his claim. He's much more on track with his statement that restrictions on free speech should be "done by legislation rather than workplace law". Yes, we don't want the regulation of speech to be controlled by corporations.

To The Age        Diana Snape wants "a new national anthem that unites us all" (27/6), but that is hardly likely to be found until a greater overall harmony of purpose exists among the people. At the moment radical activists in various ways are chipping away at our national unity. The current campaign to see "our First Nations people" over-promoted by constitutional recognition or a treaty is an example of this. So is Michael Mansell's misinterpretation of "Advance Australia Fair" as anti-Aboriginal (25/6). The truth is that the Whitlam ALP government did significant damage by seeking to replace "God save the Queen" with an alternative and then being unable to find a satisfactory new anthem that a convincing majority would endorse.

To The Australian        Kevin Donnelly has provided a timely defence of manhood ("Why is masculinity under siege from all quarters?", 28/6). We need to consider Jordan Black's "virtuous masculinity" and explore further what that might be. Corruption of the political order is a major factor in the widespread phenomenon of diminution of male vitality. In a society ruled by financial interests opportunities for manly heroism are curbed, as elites do not want their position threatened. Following Plato, we may ask whether a patriarchal and aristocratic political order may not in fact be better than liberal democracy. And a difficulty for discussion is the wide range of different natures found among men and among women. Education that suits one sort of man (or woman) well may not suit another man (or woman) nearly as well. In this context "variety is the spice of life" is relevant.

“The Duke of Cambridge has said he will fully support his children if they were to be gay, promising it would be “absolutely fine by me”. The Duke, who spoke as he visited a charity that helps homeless LGBT people, said his only concern would be for the additional challenges they may face as a result of public prejudice. Saying he and the Duchess had already discussed how they would approach one of their children telling them they were gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, he emphasised his only concern would be for any “hate or persecution” they would endure, particularly as a result of their public positions in the Royal Family. The father-of-three visited charity akt, the Albert Kennedy Trust, to officially open its new services ahead of the annual Pride in London parade and to mark  the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. Answering questions from young ambassadors for the charity, he spoke frankly from the position of a parent about the challenges still faced by those who identified as LGBT. His words are the most candid from any member of the Royal Family in public on the topic to date. When he is one day king, the Duke will be head of the Church of England and is likely to become the head of a Commonwealth in which, to date, 37 countries have laws that criminalise homosexuality.”

To The Australian        Controversy over the new classroom inclusivity guidelines published by the University of New South Wales needs to take account of several factors ("Uni puts ethnicity into study of science", 2/7). One is the need for science to be "race, region and sex-blind", since "science is culture-free by definition", but this does not mean that the claim for science that it is "universal knowledge" can be supported. There is reason to believe that the fundamental outlook and methodology of science is limited, that there are other kinds of knowledge which are accessed by faculties other than the logical mind and reason on which science relies. Wollongong University archaeologist Richard Fullagar rightly points out that there is an overlap between science and indigenous knowledge, and that indigenous beliefs are often supported by scientific research. Other indigenous knowledge is more profound than that and relates to areas of experience and human faculties beyond the purview of science. One example is the "pointing the bone" ceremony and the "singing to death" of targeted individuals hundreds of miles away. Such knowledge is worthy of study, but not under the rubric of science.

“The United States is again ranked as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking. According to a recently released report by the State Department, the top three nations of origin for victims of human trafficking in 2018 were the United States, Mexico and the Philippines. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered the Trafficking in Persons report, which is created annually by the State Department to document human trafficking in the year prior, and highlighted the growing focus that government agencies and nonprofit organizations have dedicated to stopping human trafficking. The Department of Justice provided more than $31 million for 45 victim service providers that offered services to trafficking survivors across the country. It was a demonstrable increase; the DOJ only provided $16 million to 18 organizations in 2017, according to the report. At the heart of the human trafficking trade in America is simple economics: Supply and demand. Over the last two months, Fox News has investigated human trafficking. We followed the enforcement efforts of FBI agents and police officers, documented the ways advocacy groups protect and serve survivors, and heard heart-wrenching stories of abuse, rape and recovery from numerous victims.

     What is Trump up to, or rather, what is he not doing regarding the immigration invasion? Well, after saying that he was going to deport some illegals, maybe two or three, he cancelled even that because, Democrat mover, the ever globalised pruned-face Pelosi told him not to. Trump wants to play the game of the art of the deal with someone who has proclaimed that being in the country illegally is not a reason for deporting! How can one make a deal with the insane with the disease of globalitis? This show if anything that Trump is mad, or just a traitor himself:

“Nancy Pelosi infamously denounced walls as "immoral" during the 2018 midterms, and refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the border crisis - dismissing it as a 'made up' emergency after Trump tried to bypass Congress and re-appropriate money to build his border wall from the Treasury and DoD budgets. Now, the Speaker of the House is taking her hysterical pro-immigration/anti-Trump rhetoric to another level of hysterical inanity by insisting that just because somebody is in the country illegally doesn't mean they should be deported. During an event in New York, Pelosi told her audience about a recent phone call with President Trump, where she discussed Democrats' desire to delay the mass roundups of illegal immigrants (a request to which Trump acquiesced). During  the call, Pelosi said she told the president that "a violation of status is not a reason for deportation," adding that there are over 10 million people who could face deportation because they are here illegally. Instead of rounding these immigrants up, Pelosi said Washington should focus on creating a path to citizenship. "I said 'a violation of status is not a reason for deportation,' that’s just not so," Pelosi said she told Trump.
