No doubt, there is a  new wave of affirmative action is just around the corner for Australia, since we are but a few years behind the US, so it is wise to keep a worried eye on all that is happening over the stagnant pond:

“The thing about being a “progressive” is that sooner or later, you discover you’re never quite radical enough to keep up with the “diversity” demands that dictate Leftist policies. Harvard Medical School, for example, has just announced it is ashamed of its white graduates who become doctors, and the school is in the process of removing photos of white doctors solely because they are people with white skin. “Dr. Betsy Nabel, the hospital’s president, told The Boston Globe last week that the portraits do not reflect the diversity of students at the medical school,” reports Campus Reform. “[she] suggested that so many portraits of white males may make medical students uncomfortable.” The solution? Eliminate white doctors from the halls of the school. The new priority for Harvard Medical School, its president now admits, is “putting people of color in power.” This means, of course, granting scholarships, raises and professorships to people based solely on the color of their skin rather than the merit of their actions. In other words, Harvard Medical School is now openly admitting it’s going to start producing waves of doctors who aren’t the most qualified. But they will possess certain superficial qualities — skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc. — that qualify as “diversity” in the minds of Harvard overlords.”

     The liberal elite get really excited about the idea that not only are whites fast becoming a minority, but are dying out, thanks to women’s rib, sorry Adam, I mean “lib,” and the rest of the decadent culture modern cancer capitalism mixed with cultural Marxism, has created:

“Deaths now outnumber births among white people in more than half the states in the country, demographers have found, signaling what could be a faster-than-expected transition to a future in which whites are no longer a majority of the American population. The Census Bureau has projected that whites could drop below 50 percent of the population around 2045, a relatively slow-moving change that has been years in the making. But a new report this week found that whites are dying faster than they are being born now in 26 states, up from 17 just two years earlier, and demographers say that shift might come even sooner. “It’s happening a lot faster than we thought,” said Rogelio Sáenz, a demographer at the University of Texas at San Antonio and a co-author of the report. It examines the period from 1999 to 2016 using data from the National Center for Health Statistics, the federal agency that tracks births and deaths. He said he was so surprised at the finding that at first he thought it was a mistake.

To The Australian          There are obvious weaknesses and dangers in the plan for indigenous constitutional recognition being proposed by Uphold and Recognise ("Voice plan ready, 'sense of justice' still needed", 26/6). Amendment of the Constitution "to recognise local entities" would involve a political and not moral decision to accept certain groups that appear to have an artificial nature and in fact merit no such recognition at the expense of other Australians. Any "advisory council enshrined in the Constitution" could easily become, as the thin end of the wedge, more than merely "advisory" by future legislation, especially if an ALP government comes to power. Australia does not need any official "truth-telling" process. All relevant matters can be, and are, discussed in our present free and popular forums. The proposed "process" would almost certainly be as biased as is surely the present parliamentary committee headed by two advocates for constitutional recognition. Nor should any "formal declaration of recognition" be contemplated unless it has gained a successful endorsement by referendum.

     No, no, no, there is no horrible metaphor here, no ill will, we are really talking about an invasion of rats, the size of cats. Yes, rats that big, a true indication that this is end times, and that hell is opening, or is it a measure of a world out of ecological balance?
  https://www.rt.com/news/430446-sweden-town-giant-rats/

“A Swedish city is battling a merciless enemy, rats ‘the size of cats’, prompting authorities to call on residents to keep doors and windows closed and pre-schoolchildren inside during breaks. “There aren’t the normal rats you see in the forest. They’re as big as cats,” Benny Sagmo from the planning office of Sundsvall city in northern Sweden, explained to the national TT news agency. The rats have already spread out towards a residential area, according to Sagmo. “If we don’t put a stop to it, they can get bigger and bigger…Those who live there can’t even have their front doors or balcony doors open. I’ve told pest control that we’re going all in!” he added. Residents were told to keep doors and windows closed to prevent rats from getting access to food. They were also told to avoid having food for pets outdoors. “Remember a rat can fit through a hole that is only 20 millimeters - a five-krone coin!” the warning from the city said. In the meantime, local Trädet preschool has temporarily banned children from eating or taking their naps outside. “I decided that the children should sleep inside, because we can’t risk rats jumping into the pushchairs,” headteacher Mia Löfgren told SVT Västernorrland."

     Here is today’s warning of approaching tyranny by the state: The Espionage and Foreign Interference Bill. That sounds good in principle, and has some good points. But, the Bill also has deep dark side: a prison sentence of between 20 years and life for reports that damage Australia’s international reputation or economic relations. So, the Deep State is not joking.

     The above critiques are from the Left, but don’t let that worry you. They are right on this one; namely that parts of the legislation goes way too far, and will shut down legitimate criticism of the government, which is, of course, exactly what the government is being told to do by the Deep State. What you can do is to contact all the independents and One nation, and get them moving on this one. The editor/director will kindly post some numbers for you to ring, and/or emails to send your objections to re politicians. Simply rewrite the guts of this article, namely the threat to free speech, in your own words. There is human rightsy material in some of the above articles which you can use if you want to. Good luck!

     I recently received an email from a critic who said that I was a romantic who wanted people to grow their own food hippy style. He was easily able to demolish this straw man view, typing that, well, chaps, how are we going to run an economy and agricultural industry like that? Not efficient production, production, production. Then less consumption, consumption, consumption. Talk about old paradigm. With all due respect, I am a survivalist. In my humble opinion, civilisation is headed to collapse just as prophets like Spengler predicted, but so is Asian societies. The forces of destruction have been left unaddressed too long by the normies who think like that even if they follow alternative economics. Just look at Whites in South Africa to get a feel for what the future will be. We see evidence of the same breakdown to various degrees elsewhere. Surely if we are men we should face reality and confront this truth?

     Come on, a mere economic reform is not going to deal with this issue of social decay, because to get economic reform going at ground zero presupposes that one has a minimally functioning society. Article after article is screaming a warning about the storm that is coming, and I have tried to give readers some tips about dealing with the great chaos on a personal level. Hoping to radically transform the entire economy and society tomorrow is just not going to happen. We need to be idealists in the long term, but ruthless pragmatists in the short, otherwise by not being honest, we will be condemned when things do go to hell in a basket. Thus, a little independence by growing some food at home, or keeping bees etc. etc., is a wise thing to do. It is not an attempt to change the world. The first rule for anyone is to survive the day. Speaking of hell and baskets, what are our friends the elites up to? Have they given any indication that they may be preparing for the chaos about which I speak? In fact, many of the hyper-rich are more hard-core than even me:

     For the national unity crowd, here is a good article about how the Left play dirty, and in their totalitarian equalism, seek to level anyone who gets in their way. This time the attack is taken to target Trump’s son, Barron:
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/06/22/actor-tom-arnold-vows-to-target-barron-trump-at-his-school-over-immigration-policy/

“Actor Tom Arnold jumped to Twitter to claim that he intends to show up at 12-year-old Barron Trump’s New York school and harass the child to protest President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. In his June 19 tweet, Arnold claimed that he wanted to go to the school because he thought he might see First Lady Melania Trump there with Barron. “On a plane to NY. Next is protesting Baron’s private school as well as James & Lachlan Murdoch’s kids. This is what I can do to end the abuse of these children. We’re going to make you uncomfortable,” Arnold Tweeted.”

     Here is an interesting survey, from the United States, but what interesting  research is done in sleepy old Oz anyway?
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/22/3-in-5-liberal-voters-make-america-a-refugee-camp-for-the-worlds-poor/

“More than 3-in-5 liberal voters in the United States say the country should be made into a refugee camp for the world’s poor, a new survey finds. The latest Rasmussen Report poll reveals the extent to which American liberals long for the U.S. to be a bastion of open borders and multiculturalism, serving foreign populations rather than American citizens. About 61 percent of self-identified “liberal” likely voters said they disagreed with this statement: “The United States will not be a migrant camp. And it will not be a refugee-holding facility – it won’t be.” Likewise, 59 percent of likely voters who strongly despise Trump’s populist, economic nationalist agenda said they too disagreed with the statement, indicating that they would like to see the nation transformed into a refugee camp for foreign nationals.”

     Through surfing the net in my full body rubber suit, I came across this article by philosopher Eric Dietrich, who argues this:

“Recently on the History Channel, artificial intelligence (AI) was singled out, with much wringing of hands, as one of the seven possible causes of the end of human life. I will argue that this wringing of hands is quite inappropriate: the best thing that could happen to humans, and to the rest of life on planet Earth, would be for us to develop intelligent machines and then usher in our own extinction.”

     A theme running through the articles this week is that of the dangers of the universities. Of course, this is true, but the rot starts before university now and Leftism runs right through the education system. We saw this with the Safe Schools debate, and what happened about that?  That is a good reason for going through the struggle to home school your children, if it is possible. It is a growing trend in the US, which is in a more advances state of decay than Australia, but we are catching up with them in the race to the bottom of the rubbish bin:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/homeschooling-expands-as-parents-seethe-over-liberal-social-engineering-and-violence_06072018
  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/30/homeschooling-surges-parents-seek-escape-shootings/

“Homeschooling rates are skyrocketing as parents are continually getting more and more upset at the leftist social engineering taking place in public schools.  The indoctrination is getting so bad, that some parents are even concerned about liberal violence against those who reject the brainwashing. According to The Washington Times, the recent school shooting at Parkland, Florida, was the last straw for scores of parents. The paper noted that “the phones started ringing at the Texas Home School Coalition, and they haven’t stopped yet.” “When the Parkland shooting happened, our phone calls and emails exploded,” said coalition president Tim Lambert. “In the last couple of months, our numbers have doubled. We’re dealing with probably between 1,200 and 1,400 calls and emails per month, and prior to that it was 600 to 700.” But according to Natural News, it isn’t just the rampant violence worrying some parents. 

     Syria remains a hot spot, with  Syrian air defence have down all of the missiles allegedly fired by Israel:
  https://www.rt.com/news/424333-syria-missiles-defense-homs/ 

     This time, with Russia involved, it will not be so easy, for the West has vastly under-estimated Russian military might and technological prowess. Not only that, but evidence continues to grow that the gas attacks were a false flag from the West, with war reporter Robert Fisk concluding from his investigation in Syria that the chemical attack did not occur:

     Perhaps to get the book review going we need a little music; this classic from Pink Floyd (Money, from Dark Side of the Moon (1973) will do:

     With the mood set, I turn to the task of mentioning two remarkable books in the metaphysics of the human mind, neurophilosophy: Ian McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, (Yale University Press, New Haven, 2010), and Roderick Tweedy, The God of the Left Hemisphere: Blake, Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation, (Karnac Books, London, 2013). These are big, heavy books, physically and intellectually. The Master and His Emissary, which  is  very profound, focusses upon the division of the human brain into left and right hemispheres. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and is responsible for logical, spatial and ore academic processes and reasoning, including analytic thought, logic, mathematics and science and right handed control. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and is the more “intuitive” centre, with artistic and creative properties, intuition and control of the left hand. As we know, most people are right handed, across all races, so human civilisation has been dominated by the left hemisphere, especially in the West.

     Curse you Aristotle and the entire Western heritage for giving us… not reason and technology… but …RACISM! Gasp!
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/04/06/aristotle-father-of-scientific-racism/?utm_term=.a70083ecb74c 

     Aristotle attempted to give a scientific account of the differences between people. Hence he is bad, and so are we., blah, blah. If this was a student essay: given a high distinction, degree with Honours, receives postdoctoral fellowship, then swift move up the ladder to full professor. Spend career slamming white racism and anything white. Receive great salary at taxpayer’s expense. Retire in boomer luxury while the West slides down.
Indeed, in the postmodern university, events like this one will be the norm:
  http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/04/11/university-of-tennessee-at-knoxville-hosts-anal-sex-workshop-during-sex-week/ 

     I teach maths and physics, so I did not notice this at first, but my friend who teaches year 12 chemistry pointed this out:
  https://www.rt.com/news/423627-russian-military-checks-chemical-douma/ 

     Have a close look at this photo of an allegedly gassed child being washed by a medico. Notice that no gloves or protective clothing are on the person washing. The gas is super-toxic, and the washer would be contaminated. Yet, he washers away as if it is Saturday night in the bathhouse. Something is very wrong with this picture. Last April Syria allegedly used sarin nerve gas, and the workers washed away without protective gear as well. Now, bets are being hedged that chlorine may be the gas instead:

     I remember as if it was yesterday, even though it was back in the prehistoric era of 2004 … Zucky of Face the book fame saying that people handing over their info to him via Facebook were dumb oh, he said a very rude word not in Uncle Len’s vocab. But I have heard this word, on the streets, in bars, outside schools, and puzzle over its meaning. Anyway, that’s for another day, or another life.

     So, after all of this Zucky just tells the US political system that he is sorry, and all is forgiven. No matter that he is doing a Georgey Soros and using his organisation as a political weapon:

The Forecasts will Fail,
The Cold will Prevail,
King Coal will be Crowned Again.

“Unless we stop using coal
And force green energy goals,
The ice sheets will melt
Big droughts will be felt
And islands will sink in a hole.”

But the sun refused to conform
And blizzards became the new norm.
Green energy failed
The warmists were nailed
And King Coal he grew strong in the storms.

     Here is the next frontier, to crack down on home schooling to allegedly deal with “extremism”:
  https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/04/uk-government-to-crack-down-on-homeschooling-to-fight-extremism 
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/04/11/government-crackdown-homeschooling-extremism-fears/ 

“The government is set to crack down on home schooling amidst concerns that some out-of-school education settings are failing to promote its liberal definition of “British values”. Parents who want to home school their children could be forced to register with local authorities and be made subject to inspection, according to a government report published Tuesday raising the prospect of prosecution for families which failed to comply. Seeking views over the next 12 weeks with regards to strengthening regulation around home schooling, the consultation was launched as part of the government’s “Counter-Extremism strategy to enable intervention in out of school settings”. Under the proposed regulatory system, any family taking their child out of mainstream schooling in the UK would have to explain their decision and demonstrate that children were being given an appropriate education at home.”

     Readers will know that I have no love for Trump seeing earthworms as infinitely more useful than him. Indeed, these fine creatures work to preserve life, by eating “crap,” but Trump just produces toxic waste that drowns us morally. Nevertheless, for every one of his sins, Bill the boy  Clinton has a bigger one, yet he is given a free ride by the mainstream media, even while prezzy. Reflect upon this bias and then think about what would happen if the miracle occurred again and a real challenge to the evil Lords of Mordor became president.

     Of course, it will not happen. But, I have the fantasy; what if the ordinary folk said: to hell with it, I have spent five minutes on the net reading alternative media such as this, and will fight! I don’t care what happens to me or my consumer goodies. To hell with liberal individualism and hedonistic consumerism. I will joint the heroes of the past in a last stand. But, then something wakes me from my day dream, and I look at the happy shoppers in the supermarket, and know that this will all continue until it does not.

“An Australian telecommunications company has apologised for posting a job advert that stated a preference for “Anglo-Saxon” candidates. Optus, the nation’s second-biggest provider, had included the description in a posting about a vacant position in a Sydney store. The advert was shared on social media, where it was criticised as racist. Optus responded by removing the posting and saying it would investigate the “completely unacceptable” error. “[We] will be investigating how this occurred with a view to taking disciplinary action against those involved,” spokesman Vaughan Paul said in a statement. Mr Paul said it violated the company’s values, and was a breach of advertising standards. Social media users were angered by the advert.”

     In article after article at this site, I told you so:
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/04/13/gallup-u-s-catholic-church-attendance-drops-during-pontificate-of-pope-francis/ 

“Catholic Church attendance in the United States fell by six percent between the pontificates of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, the sharpest drop in decades, a new Gallup poll has revealed. An average of 39 percent of U.S. Catholics attended church weekly during the heart of the Francis papacy, from 2014 to 2017, Gallup found in a survey released April 9, which represents a significant drop from the 45 percent of Catholics who attended weekly Mass from 2005 to 2008, in the early years of the Benedict pontificate. Weekly Mass attendance among American Catholics had stabilized in the mid-2000s at around 45 percent, after falling sharply during the period comprising the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and its aftermath, which many Catholics experienced as a time of confusion and upheaval.”
