Do we ever get any good news anymore? Certainly if I had some I would share it, just like if I had a packet of boiled sweets, I would give you one, being extraordinarily generous.  But, alas, there goes Tasmania:

“A proposed mega-development on Tasmania’s east coast has prompted concerns about fast-tracked development and foreign investment in the island state. The Cambria Green proposal was announced to the public in late April, four days before a local council meeting which voted to progress an application to create a special development zone that could house 550 accommodation units and hotel rooms, two golf courses, and an 80-bed health spa that could one day be used as a palliative care unit. The proponent, Cambria Green Agricultural Tourism Management, helmed by Shandong businessman Liu Kejing and Melbourne-based Ronald Hu, says on its Facebook page — it does not have a website — that it wants to “bring the surrounding community along our long-term journey” to support the “integrated, eco-tourism development”.

     Sit back, have a cup of tea, maybe a slice of sultana cake, with a big slab of butter on it, and relax. It has been a hard day, so gentle reflection on the joys of multicultural Britain is sure to relax you. Pay attention to the beautiful photographs:

     I live in SE Queensland. Yesterday the surface air temperature rose from a frosty 2ºC at sunrise to a balmy 22ºC in mid-afternoon. The enormous heat needed to achieve this 20ºC of warming came via radiation from the sun. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere plays no significant part in this daily heating event – in fact it may intercept a tiny proportion of the incoming solar radiation and re-radiate it in all directions, thus keeping the daytime surface temperature a tiny bit cooler than it would have been otherwise.

     At the deep Mount Isa Mine in NW Queensland, the surface temperature may average about 25ºC but it increases by about 1ºC every 50 metres of depth – rock walls are red hot in places. The enormous heat causing this comes via conduction from Earth’s geothermal heat plus some oxidation and heating of the sulphide ores as they come in contact with natural air containing oxygen. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere plays no part in this heating.

     There is a new book by an academic philosopher giving a defence of the value of honour: Tamler Sommers, Why Honor Matters, (Basic Books, New York, 2018):

  https://www.counter-currents.com/2018/06/a-very-honorable-man/

     The core argument, which runs contrary to what little treatment has been given to this topic by analytic style philosophers – not to ignore the worthy history of ideas treatment delivered by Harvey Mansfield in Manliness, (Yale University press, New haven, 2007): is simply, that honour matters, and has a place in the moral society, even today.

     Yet another wave of illegal migrants, again mainly healthy young males, heading to  cucked, weak, libtard Europe:
  https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2018/06/07/world/europe/07reuters-europe-migrants-balkans.html

“Countries along a new Balkan migrant route pledged on Thursday to work together to prevent a repetition of the 2015 influx that brought more than a million refugees into Europe from North Africa and the Middle East.
Security and police officials from the region met in Bosnia to discuss their response to growing traffic along a new smuggling route from Greece through Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia to Croatia and Western Europe.
More than 5,500 refugees and migrants from Asia and North Africa have entered Bosnia this year using the route. The Balkan country was spared the migrant wave of 2015, but it now finds itself struggling to accommodate thousands of people who are trying to reach wealthier EU countries. The situation is still under control, but it requires stronger cooperation among police agencies in all countries, said Bostjan Sefic, the state secretary in Slovenia’s interior ministry. A key target should be people traffickers, of whom 80 percent come from the region, Sefic said.”

     Hopefully not, if we somehow learn the lessons from the past and begin to restrict the free flow of people: what is good for the money elites does not make biological sense:

“A “new” strain of deadly bird flu dubbed “Disease X” by the World Health Organization (WHO) has killed hundreds of people in China, and is just three mutations away from becoming transmissible between humans, according to experts. The strain, H7N9, circulates in poultry and has killed 623 people out of 1,625 infected in China – a mortality rate of 38.3%. While first identified in China in 2013, H7N9 has recently emerged as a serious threat seemingly overnight. Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, deputy chief medical officer for the UK, told The Telegraph that H7N9 could cause a global outbreak. “[H7N9] is an example of another virus which has proven its ability to transmit from birds to humans,” said Van-Tam, who added “It’s possible that it could be the cause of the next pandemic.” The WHO says N7N9 is “an unusually dangerous virus for humans,” and “one of the most lethal influenza viruses that we’ve seen so far” “H7N9 viruses have several features typically associated with human influenza viruses and therefore possess pandemic potential and need to be monitored closely,” said Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Researchers led by James Paulson of the Scripps Research Institute in California have been studying the mutations which could potentially occur in H7N9’s genome to allow for human-to-human infection.”

     It is difficult to see what of our former institutions is the most decayed. Is it the universities, or the churches? How does one decide in the face of stories like this one:
  https://worcesterobserver.co.uk/news/church-leaders-backing-bid-for-new-city-mosque/

“CHURCH leaders across Worcester have lent their support to an ambitious £3million Worcester Muslim Welfare Association bid to build a new mosque in the heart of the city. Members of the Church of England clergy in Worcester East Deanery backed the bid for the contemporary building on Stanley Road in a letter to association general secretary Mohammed Iqbal. Rev Paul Honniball and Rev Kalantha Brewis attended the interfaith Iftar at the mosque on Monday evening to present the letter and were invited to read it out to those gathered just before the Ramadan fast was broken. Under the ground-breaking proposals, the association wants to build the mosque on the old Stanley Road School car park and move from its current site on Tallow Hill to cater for its growing number of worshippers. The charity also intends to build apartments and a new sports centre at the site, which includes Unity House community centre. Senior figures from St Nicholas Church, St Barnabas with Christ Church, St Martin’s, St John the Baptist in Claines and All Saints Worcester are among those lending their names to the cross-faith show of support.”

     The following link is to an excellent video by Dr Michael Greger, “How Not to Die,” running for 1 hour and about 21 minutes, but well worth your time. The focus is upon how diet, primarily by eating a vegetable-based anti-oxidant rich diet, can aid in reducing, and in many cases reversing, the diseases of civilisation such as cardiovascular disease.

     Canada has been working overtime attempting to catch up with Britain and Sweden in the cuck, degeneracy stakes, but its recent legalisation of dope is certainly putting it back in the race, to be the first Western country to hit the wall of collapse:
  https://www.rt.com/news/430271-canada-cannabis-legalization-bill/

“Fulfilling a campaign pledge, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced legislation on Thursday to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Canada. Many nations have either decriminalized marijuana, allowed it to be prescribed medically or effectively stopped enforcing laws against it. But when Mr. Trudeau’s bill passes as expected, Canada will become only the second nation, after Uruguay, to completely legalize marijuana as a consumer product. “Criminal prohibition has failed to protect our kids and our communities,” said Bill Blair, a lawmaker and former Toronto police chief whom Mr. Trudeau appointed to manage the legislation. Mr. Blair said at a news conference that the government hoped to begin allowing legal sales by the middle of 2018. While the government’s plan has been broadly shaped by a panel of experts, many issues still need to be ironed out.”

     One thing I learnt from boxing pre-‘Nam, and then in the Army, against Americans and Asians, was to keep one’s guard up. The cult of Ali, to dance with one’s hands around one’s hips is dangerous, unless you are the fastest in the world. It worked for Ali, for a time, but in the end he was getting caught by fast boxers as his speed declined. In the end he got brain damage, no surprise given the punishment his head got in the ring. He boxed with his head, in the wrong way.

     I saw the Rocky movies as they came out, which was Sly Stallone’s take on boxing. In all the movies, Rocky basically took punches to the head, and tried to outlast his opponents by showing that his head was thicker than theirs. Only in his fight against Mr T did the revelation come upon him, half way through the final fight, to keep his hands up. It was a game changing move. These movies are the worst ever made about boxing; unrealistic in plot, almost like a fairy tale (as if a world champ would give a two bit bum boxer a chance at his title), and totally unrealistic in skill, and dangerous as an example.

     Here is the paper’s abstract:

     While millions of people across the west are homeless, and many facing bitterly cold nights on the street, the masters of the universe only see fit to support the humanist one-world religion of mass immigration:
  http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/06/19/facebook-raises-millions-to-reunite-illegal-immigrants-with-children/

“The Masters of the Universe at Facebook — and the site’s users — have begun donating millions to a new donation page titled “reunite an immigrant parent with their child.” The Facebook fundraiser page started by Dave and Charlotte Willner from the Bay Area has raised approximately $4.5 million in just under a week, The Wrap reports. The fundraiser page is titled “reunite an immigrant parent with their child” and aims to reconnect illegal immigrants separated from their children during attempts to illegally enter the United States. 113,000 users have donated to the page so far with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg donating significant amounts of money. The fundraiser initially planned to raise $1,500, but donations reached $4.67 million by Tuesday shortly after several private donors matched donations up to $250,000 each.

     Vera West usually writes for this site on health issues, but some get tossed my way when they touch on hairy chested issues, like weight lifting, a practice I have enjoyed all my life. And, it is not just for men, but women, and especially older people can benefit, not only strengthening muscles and bones, but even helping with the dreaded Alzheimer’s, the fear of which must knock on our mental door, every time we have a senior moment, which for many of us, is becoming more frequent that desired. Why am I writing in such long senetences? Is it mental decline?

     Here is absolute proof that the mainstream media generated false news to serve an open borders mass invasion immigration mentality. Time magazine featured a cover with a little Red Riding Hood girl looking up at big bad wolf, Trump: 
  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/22/crying-migrant-girl-on-time-magazine-cover-was-not-separated-from-mother-family-says.html

“A little girl shown in a viral photo crying as a U.S. Border Patrol agent detained her mother – and used by TIME magazine to symbolize the Trump administration’s family separation policy – reportedly was never separated from her mom. “Welcome to America,” declared a somber TIME cover, which showed the picture of the Honduran child Yanela Sanchez next to a towering President Trump. TIME, which is standing by the cover despite the new information, originally called it “an image America could not ignore” and interviewed the photographer, as did other outlets. TIME followed up with another article entirely about the cover and “the story behind it. .. But multiple outlets interviewed the father of the girl behind the iconic image, and he said he had learned that his two-year-old daughter was detained with her mother at a facility in Texas, and the two were not separated at all.

     What’s all this doom and gloom stuff here, as if we and our culture are  under attack? People must really be in a bad mood this week. Is it lack of sunlight and vitamin D in Melbourne? Or, is it just  tin foil (or is it aluminium foil?) paranoia? In fact, the future is so bright that we will have to wear shades:

“The royal family is having quite the year. This spring brought the birth of Prince Louis and the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Zara Tindall is due with her baby, the Queen’s great-grandchild, any day now, and Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew will wed her fiancé Jack Brooksbank in October. But another member of the royal family just shared he’ll be tying the knot before Eugenie walks down the aisle. The Queen’s third cousin once removed, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, has announced he will marry his longtime partner James Coyle this summer. It will mark the extended royal family’s first same-sex marriage. “We’ll be pronounced partners in marriage, but the ceremony itself will be very small. It’s just for the girls and close family and friends,” Coyle explained to the Daily Mail. …While Queen has yet to comment specifically on her relative’s wedding, she has made statements in support of LGBTQ rights in the U.K. in the past. “My government will make further progress to tackle the gender pay gap and discrimination against people on the basis of their race, faith, gender, disability, or sexual orientation,” she said during her speech at the State Opening of Parliament last summer.”

     We are told by the mainstream media that the illegal migrants are desperate people, the poorest of the poor, who, armed only with their latest model mobile phones and bulging credit cards, seek … justice …
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/16/child-border-crossers-have-higher-standard-of-living-than-13m-impoverished-american-children/

“Migrant children who cross into the United States either alone or with adults have a higher standard of living once they are put into federal care than the more than 13 million American children who are living in poverty across the country. In Fiscal Year 2017, the federal government referred nearly 41,000 unaccompanied minor border crossers to the Unaccompanied Alien Children program which is facilitated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Data provided to Breitbart News reveals that each unaccompanied minor costs the federal government about $34,660 annually. This is a higher standard of living per child than the roughly 13 million American children who continue to live below the U.S. poverty line.”

     We have heard it all before, and liberals fall over themselves in excitement about the displacement of men from the workforce, and an older book dealing with this is Hanna Rosin, The End of Men and the Rise of Women, (Riverhead boks, 2012). Like that triggering title? Even under patriarchy, there was never a “ha ha” gotcha type of approach to things.

“Dr. Michael Thompson told CBS News, all across America girls are outperforming boys at every educational level… “Girls outperform boys in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and graduate school,” says Dr. Michael Thompson, a school psychologist who writes about the academic problems of boys in his book, Raising Cain. He says that after decades of special attention, girls are soaring, while boys are stagnating. “Girls are being told, ‘Go for it, you can do it. Go for it, you can do it.’ They are getting an immense amount of support,” he says. “Boys hear that the way to shine is athletically. And boys get a lot of mixed messages about what it means to be masculine and what it means to be a student. Does being a good student make you a real man? I don’t think so… It is not cool.” Perhaps one of the big reasons why young males are so drawn to sports is because it allows them to do the sorts of things the come naturally to males. Sporting events allow young males to engage in battle, to hunt and to conquer. Yes, it is a simulated environment, but sporting events really do bring out something primal in young boys.”

     Another update on some of the exciting cultural events not happening in Sweden, due to sex attacks, which the mainstream media denies are significant, or show any sort of migration problem:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/06/21/swedish-bravalla-music-festival-shuts-down-good-following-wave-sex-attacks-previous-years/

“The organisers of Sweden’s largest music festival have announced that the event will come to a close after cancelling this year’s festival following a wave of sex attacks last year. Organisers FKP Scorpio announced that there are no plans to put on another Bråvalla festival again this after speculation that the festival may occur in 2019 despite being cancelled this year, Norrköpings Tidningar reports. Kajsa Apelqvist, who heads public relations for the organisation, said: “It’s a very disappointing decision to take, but the overall picture we have is that we can not develop the festival in the way we want to be relevant to our visitors in the future.” When asked about the wave of sex attacks at the festival, which resulted in the festival being cancelled this year, Apelqvist said: “We have always claimed that it is not a festival problem but a social problem. How we ensure our visitors’ safety is something we are constantly developing, and that’s something we’ll never finish.”

     Here is one for the libtards jumping up and down about you and me having guns; how about the ferals  having anti-tank weapons?

“One person has been arrested after an anti-tank weapon was fired at an office block in Amsterdam’s Sloterdijk business district on Thursday night. Eyewitnesses report hearing an enormous bang but no-one was injured and one window in the building was broken by the missile. The launcher was found in the vicinity and removed for forensic tests. Police say they have no idea why this particular building was targeted but that the suspect had cut through surveillance cameras before launching the missile. According to the Telegraaf, the office block, ONE20, is a multi-tenant building. One company based there is Pijper Media, which publishes magazines like Panorama, Nieuwe Revu, Playboy and Marie Claire.”
