As my research and writing focus is on feminism and related issues, I read neo-masculinity sites like Matt Forney and Roosh v.  There are some very good articles, some bad ones, but most, well, it’s just another day on the internet. On the more “intellectual” sites we sometimes find articles on the “women problem,’ with this example from Émile Durand: https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/07/faustian-civilization-and-the-new-patriarchy/

     The message is that women need to give white men a break from the female version of the cultural wars so that the process of civilisation-building can go on. Otherwise, well, things will fall apart.

     Reflecting on the LGBTI – have I forgotten any letters – Kevin Donnelly says: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/opinion/wear-it-purple-day-and-other-culturalleft-moves-sending-us-puce/news-story/7c3252539f51320173ef3ab78aa38718

“Given the re-emergence of the Safe Schools program, a NSW primary school putting on a Stolen Generations play where children dress as nuns and victimise Aboriginal children, and the Australian Education Union’s campaign to promote the LGBTI Wear it Purple Day, there’s no doubt that the cultural left now dominates our education system.

     Here is a good article about feminism’s anti-biology ideology, that sex/gender differences don’t exist, except for those which feminism finds politically useful to admit: http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/.

     On a practical level, here in Australia we have women having to complete only FOUR pushups as a component of their physical for the Australian army, as part of a campaign to double the number of female troops. This is clear discrimination, and an open admission that females have, in general less upper-body strength than males. The same madness of physical dumbing down is occurring in the fire brigade, where the need to carry people from burning buildings could endanger lives:

     North Korea has fired a missile over Japan, and as you can imagine the usually polite Japanese are pretty upset about this. “We are normally polite, but we think that the North Koreans are very rude firing their ICBM waste over our side of the fence,” the Japanese Prime Minister, Bruce Lee, said. Or, words to that effect. And that may not be his name. It could be Malcolm Shinzo Abe Turnbull. Whatever –  I know their frustrations, having flung missiles of rubbish over my long-suffering neighbour’s fence: “Uncle Len, I am normally polite, but I find it very rude of you  to fire your waste over our side of the fence,” my neighbour said, before ringing the police, after throwing a rock at me, which hit me on the head. It did not hurt. (Why?)

     Well, the “police” are set to come, with “Asian war”: The Australian, august 30, 2017, p. 1. Yippeeeeee! Whatever has taken you New World Order guys so long to get to the next great killing? Not having experienced the salty, sweet taste of mass blood money for so long must be hard when you are a globalist vampire. (Don’t worry, I am not getting political, I saw someone use this metaphor on an internet site and just thought that I would hurl it into the pot for extra nutrients.)

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     The marriage debate is getting ugly, as Bill Shorten and others predicted it would, but the ugliness seems to be largely coming from fanatical ‘yes’ advocates. Vilification of defenders of traditional marriage appears to be widespread and intense (‘Pastors threatened after false claim’, 31/8) and corporate and professional bodies are misusing their status to the detriment of dissenting members (‘Law dean demands retreat on Yes vote’, 31/8).
     The unattractive nature of ‘Mardi Gras’ marches in recent years was a forewarning of this sort of behaviour. One is reminded of ancient advice about keeping evil genies bottled up and not opening Pandora’s boxes. The biblical saying ‘by their fruit shall ye know them’ is also relevant. If the plebiscite goes ahead, let us hope there will be sufficient Australians who see that ‘same sex marriage’ is a bridge too far.

to THE AGE
     Catholic clergy who are defending traditional marriage are not, as Michelle Goldsmith implies (31/8), thereby making ‘unhelpfully inhumane pronouncements’. They are seeking to protect children, to safeguard society and to preserve a fundamental institution that has stood the test of time. Dianne Young is also mistaken (31/8) in applying the term ‘dresses’ to robes worn in many cultures around the world. In our culture ‘dresses’ at once connotes attire worn by girls and women.
     One senses that defenders of same-sex marriage are becoming a little desperate when such silly remarks are offered. The aggressive hysteria emanating from other ‘yes’ partisans strengthens this suspicion and is in line with the worrying ugliness of ‘Mardi Gras’ parades held in recent years. Tradition tells that evil genies are best kept in bottles and that Pandora’s boxes should not be opened. This may well apply to the marriage debate.

     Your article in the Advertiser today, in support of Same Sex Marriage is another disappointing contribution from the sources we expect to be promoting the virtues of traditional marriage which is so definitely described in the Bible.
You must be a product of the very clever and subtle brainwashing that has been evident over the last thirty or more years.  Just think back to your parent’s time and try to imagine church leaders advocating SSM being welcomed in the community  -  even where the clergy would assist with the ceremonies!
Why should the church reverse its policy?  Will it soon be acceptable or even good to steal?

     You mention our multi-cultural society and how it has resulted in the need for change.  If such a policy requires a Christian based society to change its fundamentals; then it is a pity our political and spiritual leaders did not forsee the problem and resist multi-culturalism.  We have been so weak in defending our Christian culture that the ‘multicults’ have used the opportunity, wherever there was a chink in our armour, to inject contrary ideas.

     We all know, as conservatives that a successful “Yes” vote in the coming plebiscite will involve as yet unknown erosions of freedoms, especially religious freedoms: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/inquirer/yes-side-in-marriage-debate-ignores-the-implications-for-freedoms/news-story/b119dbc7f7cad9f773f7f8ac7eef926d.

     Once same sex marriage is in, a fanatical politically correct Labor will push things to the next level, with a LGBTI taxpayer funded watch dog, like the present system for racial thought control, which will view any debate as hate speech. Laws will be changed to make race hate encompass LGBTI issues. Then, they will move to the next level, and the level after that, and on and on, until traditionalists are crushed under the boot. It reminds me of the scene from the old Spider-Man 1 movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAfxBXAQCZM.

     According to this news site, perhaps the best for what is happening in the US and coming our way:
http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/09/01/federal-judge-blocks-texas-ban-dismemberment-abortion/
a Texas judge has temporarily blocked a Texas law that banned second trimester dismemberment abortions in which unborn babies are “torn limb from limb” and then extracted from the uterus.

     U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel held that Planned Parenthood and the other plaintiffs satisfied a requirement for the temporary injunction showing that “threatened injury to the Plaintiffs outweighs any damage that the temporary restraining order might cause the State.” The plaintiffs maintained that the new law blocked women’s access to abortions, which is the big feminist issue, next to “equal pay” and affirmative action all round.

     Trump, despite his weaknesses and clear limits, does a few things right (but most wrong). Pardoning former US sheriff Joe Arpaio, who fought against illegal Hispanic immigration, was one of his right moves: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/26/exclusive-joe-arpaio-hits-back-at-john-mccain-declares-after-pardon-im-not-going-away/.

     The system was going after Joe on a technicality, but that is closed now. Naturally, John McCain, attacked this, like he does anything which is not ultra-liberal, but who cares anymore?

to THE AGE
     Current attacks on the celebration of Australia Day are too often misleading. Gregory Smithers (‘January 26 has long been a political catalyst’, 24/8) focuses on ‘white privilege’ but neglects to consider white achievement in our history. Ordinary Aussies are not superficial, as he suggests they are, to see the attacks as destructive of ‘the myths and symbols that give meaning to collective national identity.’ And the ‘changing of political power’ in the nation is a matter of deep concern for lovers of traditional Australia. It smacks of incipient totalitarianism.
     As for John Armstrong’s generalizing reference (Letters, 24/8) to ‘white settlers’ seeing Aboriginals as ‘part of the fauna’, it is a grossly unjust insult for which no adequate evidence exists at all.

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Coalition MPs such as George Brandis and Christopher Pyne, who are claiming (‘Religious rights threat in state laws’, 24/8) that the coming postal vote is about nothing else than ‘allowing gay couples to wed’, are doing further damage to their party by such an inaccurate, head-in-the-sand approach.
     Sufficient evidence has now come to light, both from overseas experience and analyses of Australian laws, to show that a ‘yes’ vote will lead to a serious diminution of religious freedom in the nation, unless very great care is taken beforehand to adjust and introduce legal protections for adherents of religions and other persons motivated by conscience.
     If the High Court allows the postal vote to proceed, there should be an immediate bipartisan declaration by the PM and Leader of the Opposition that, whatever the result, no change to our marriage law will be legislated until satisfactory protections are in place.

     Heard the one about the oh-so-pure politicians, who advocate anti-racist, non-discriminatory everything – except for one thing – their own perks:

     The Libtards are hoping to save $ 3.6 billion, plus get lots of extra yummy tax, as those who are unlucky enough to have a job will now work until they die. Hey, maybe if we abolished the government, philosophical anarchism-style, we could save even more! Look, some people think that this can be done:

    daddy said that we are no longer goin to have father day because just like when they tok away australa day, and ANZAK day (in 2018), there were really bad things about father like all the staues of the white explorers who killed everybody, so we got bulldozers and smashed al the staues real good my teacher Ms Gutkicker said that all men are bad because they take jobs away from women and they all do terrble tings to women and kids abuse them she said i was made to stand in the rubbish bin, being the only boy in my class because I may hurt people when I grow up so I must bepunish now to be god Ms Guutkicker threw rubbish at me to tell me about somethug she called “white priviledge” but I don’t now why because she has white skin too
    another kind lady said that a lot of little kids don’t have fathes and having a day for them made them sad, so we should not have the day which Ms Gutkicker said was right so I believ her or I have to stand in the bin all day and get junk on my legs and have rubbis thrown in my face, like rotten egg sanwichs

and I think this is a really good idea ut my mate fred lot him mum because she took to many drugs and died and he is sad too so I think we need to get rid of mum’s day too because lot’s of little kids get sad on that day too, and if kids get sad that is a god thing about getting rid of the day because we might end up having a generation of “prince boofheads”
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-24/weak-parents-are-raising-a-generation-entitled-brat-boys/8837368

     Australia does not have writers along the lines of Jeff Cooper (1920-2006), just like it does not have bad ass cultural heroes such as Jim Bowie (1796-1836).  Sure we have Ned Kelly, but couldn’t anyone have put on a tin can and got shot up? Just joking irish fans, I love old Ned and his tin suit, real cool and clever. We Aussies were once as tough as our brother Yanks, but now it is a moot question who has the lowest T.

     Anyway, back to Jeff Cooper, the father of American pistol craft, and the thinking man’s survivalist:
https://www.buckeyefirearms.org/quotations-jeff-cooper
While there are a lot of Cooper’s works out there, I found a real gem from Special Weapons, 1983 Annual, “The fighting Rifle: Forgotten but Not Gone.” I was culling out my bag of papers to get paper to use as fire-stater, and I read this one before burning it. You see, living in a tent, space is premium and there is no room for such luxuries such as storage.

     It is good to see some critical reflection about the dark side of immigration, especially in the light of compounding absurdities, such as the suggestion of using chemicals such as oxytocin to make Whites love refugees, migrants, transgenders, and anyone the globalists want them to like:

     Well, the backlash from Charlottesville is rolling over the world like nuclear clouds of radiation soon will. The Left and antifa are going plain mad. Examples abound. An Asian with the name Robert lee, has been removed from his assignment of calling a football game at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville because his name sounded like the Confederate General! Yes, they are in power, so they are allowed to be dopey.

     Then there is the “Kill all whitey statues,” rampage that the Left is now on, moving on from attacking Confederate statues, to all White historical figures including Christopher Columbus:

“U.S. infrastructure is in “a pre-9/11 moment” when it comes to cybersecurity and time is running short to shore up its cyber defenses, an industry advisory committee warned Tuesday.
If government and industry don’t dramatically boost their efforts to protect critical infrastructure, such as the financial system or electric grids, they risk missing a “narrow and fleeting window of opportunity before a watershed, 9/11-level cyberattack,” according to a report approved by the Homeland Security Department’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council.”

to THE AGE
     Peter Hartcher rightly suggests (‘The dangers in playing the politics of identity’, 26/8) that a wise political party will seek to ‘lift the collective gaze to a political vision for the nation.’ What might that vision be for Australia?
     It will have to be inclusive of all major interests, so it will not accept Hartcher’s claim that ‘the Imperial British vision of Aboriginal people’ was that they were ‘non-existent.’ We know very well that the 18th and 19th century British authorities fully recognized the existence of the Aboriginals but did not adequately understand the quality of their tribal and inter-tribal lifestyle. Thus they assumed that there was no government to deal with and that they had an obligation to bring civilization to a people viewed as ‘primitive.’
     An authentic national vision will be both realistic and equitable. The Coalition and the ALP could co-operate on articulating this, with elections centering on different ways of promoting the shared ideals. We would then have a happier and calmer country.
