Trump tweeted and within days, the anarcho-tyrannical South African government backtracked, at least for the time, on its plan to steal white farmers’ land with no compensation.

“South Africa has withdrawn its white farmland redistribution bill – six days after Donald Trump warned he was closely studying the situation. The ruling African National Congress (ANC) said the bill passed by parliament in 2016 enabling the state to make compulsory purchases of land to redress racial disparities in land ownership needed further consideration. It comes after Trump criticised the country’s land reform plans in a tweet that touched on the overwhelmingly white ownership of farmland in South Africa – one of the most sensitive issues in the country’s post-apartheid history. ‘I have asked Secretary of State… (Mike) Pompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers,’ tweeted Trump to his 54 million followers.

     I knew that as soon as I looked I would find something pathetically absurd being done by some university somewhere in the West:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-30/berkeley-students-teach-peers-about-whiteness-and-decolonizing

“This fall, University of California, Berkeley students can learn about “white comfort/coddling,” “decolonizing Palestine,” and making research less “isolating” for “marginalized” students. The courses in question are offered through UC Berkeley’s DeCal program, which the university describes as “legitimate university courses run by students” that qualify for academic credit and can even fulfill graduation requirements. "This class will not be to coddle white fragility, but to deconstruct and relearn whiteness through case studies, speakers, and intense, critical readings."

     I am against steroid use, but some people need a shot in the butt. “French’ President Macron comes to mind:
  https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/08/30/macron-denmark-true-dane-frenchman/

“French politicians have reacted with anger after Emmanuel Macron asserted that “true” Frenchmen and Danes “do not exist”, and attacked the people he rules over as stubbornly resistant to change while on an official visit to Denmark. The French president made the remarks while on a three-day tour of Denmark and Finland, where he is hoping to establish a “progressive arc” of nations supporting his vision of a globalised EU superstate, which would revolve around a liberal conception of human rights, ahead of European Parliament elections next year. Speaking before a gala lobster dinner on Wednesday, at which Denmark’s Queen Margaret was in attendance, Macron praised the Scandinavian nation as one which is “completely open to the rest of the world” compared with a France whose people he said showed a “Gaulish stubborn resistance to change”.

     Here is a good “gotcha’ moment for Trump, in exposing the “false news” of the mainstream press:
  https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/08/30/trump-cnns-trump-tower-story-source-doesnt-exist-credibility-is-now-gone/

“It all began on July 27 when CNN’s Bernstein shared a byline with former Barack Obama administration official and chief CNN national security correspondent Jim Sciutto, along with CNN researcher and producer Marshall Cohen, with the headline: “Cohen claims Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting.” The fact that Bernstein–who along with Bob Woodward broke and chronicled the Watergate scandal that led to the eventual resignation of Richard Nixon from the presidency–was on the byline was significant, as it threw the weight and heft of his personal credibility behind the network’s story. In the piece, Bernstein, Sciutto, and Cohen used anonymous “sources” to claim that President Donald Trump’s now former personal attorney Michael Cohen was willing to undercut President Trump’s claims about the famed 2016 Trump Tower meeting that the president’s son Donald Trump, Jr., his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort had with a Russian attorney with links to the Kremlin. “Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN,” Bernstein, Sciutto, and Cohen wrote. “Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said.”

“Victoria Police are yet to arrest a driver who drove his car into pedestrians during a wild brawl in Melbourne’s inner-north and seriously injured an 18 year old man. North West Metro Commander Tim Hansen said a group of up to 14 detectives has been assigned to investigate how a fight inside Collingwood’s Gasometer Hotel led to a street brawl and six people going to hospital. Police were keeping a “watching brief” on the 66 Records launch at the Gasometer last night, due to the large numbers of Pacific Islanders and African-Australians attending... Police were called to the scene after around 200 teens and young adults left a venue on nearby Smith Street in Collingwood and broke into violence on the street...

“South African farmers subjected to land expropriation without compensation will still have to pay off their debts for property which has been seized by the state, according to a major bank. In an email from Nedbank widely circulated on social media, now confirmed as genuine by Head of Group Media Relations Kedibonea Molopyane, according to The South African, farmers are warned that their debts will have to be paid in full even after their property is confiscated by the government. It reads as follows:

     What we all need at the moment is a good 9/11 conspiracy theory to blow away the winter cobwebs:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-03/did-cia-saudi-arabia-conspire-keep-911-details-secret

“The authors of a new book on 9/11 hope to refocus public attention on the cover-up. Thoroughly mining the multiple official investigations into the event, John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski find huge holes and contradictions in the official story that 9/11 was merely “a failure to connect the dots.” Duffy, a left-leaning writer and environmental activist, and Nowosielski, a documentary filmmaker, have nowhere near the prominence of other journalists who have poked holes in the official story, in particular Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, the Pulitzer Prize–winning book that was turned into a gripping multi-part docudrama on Hulu earlier this year. But Duffy and Nowosielski come to the story with a noteworthy credential: In 2009 they scored an astounding video interview with Richard Clarke, a White House counterterrorism adviser during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. In it, Clarke raged that top CIA officials, including director George Tenet, had withheld crucial information from him about Al-Qaeda’s plotting and movements, including the arrival in the U.S. of future hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi. In The Watchdogs Didn’t Bark: The CIA, NSA, and the Crimes of the War on Terror, the authors assemble a compelling case of a government-wide cover-up of Saudi complicity in the affair.

     Canberra breeds many white elephants, but now they are breeding a gigantic new breed of pachyderm in Australia’s Snowy Mountains – a Green Elephant. Grandly named “Snowy 2.0 Hydro-Electric”, it has the compulsory green skin, but it is just another big white elephant under a thick layer of green paint. Snowy 2.0 plans a hugely expensive complex of dams, tunnels, pumps, pipes, generators, roads and powerlines. Water will be pumped up-hill using grid power in times of low demand, and then released when needed to recover some of that energy. To call it “hydro-electric” is a fraud – it will not store one extra litre of water and will be a net consumer of electric power. It is a giant electric storage battery to be recharged using grid power.

     This is just the next episode in an expensive and impossible green dream to run Australian cities and industries, plus a growing electric vehicle fleet, on intermittent wind and solar energy and without coal, gas, oil or nuclear fuels. Surely we can learn from the unfolding disaster of a similar German Grand Plan:

     The mainstream media is satanically evil, and that is just on a good day. This dragon needs to be metaphysically and spiritually destroyed, and Queen Ann Coulter has come out swinging her broad sword, saying the sorts of extreme and creamy things that I usually say, and presumably, she is not an alcoholic, as I am, or suffering from mental decline, as I will be. This gives me a warm and fuzzy, if not furry feeling, inside, whatever that means:
  https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/08/29/exclusive-ann-coulter-i-want-trump-to-destroy-the-media-if-nothing-else/

“New York Times best-selling author and populist conservative columnist Ann Coulter says she just wants President Trump to “destroy the media” – even if nothing else is accomplished by his administration. In an exclusive interview on SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Sunday, Coulter told Breitbart News’s Deputy Political Editor Amanda House that she wants Trump to continue to “destroy” the establishment media, specifically exposing its distaste that the president tweeted about the killing of white farmers occurring in South Africa. Coulter said:

     The ever politically correct BBC, just like our ABC, where the “C” stands for “communist,” is dropping programs where white males impart knowledge;
  https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/08/26/bbc-era-white-men-knowledge-passed/

“The era of TV shows in which white males impart information on a subject is dead, a top BBC executive has said, stating the corporation must find “different ways” of bringing expert insight and knowledge to audiences in future. BBC Four editor Cassian Harrison, an upper middle-class white male, told the Edinburgh Television Festival that people are no longer interested in “static” television programmes featuring a white male presenter talking about a topic, The Times reports. “There’s a mode of programming that involves a presenter, usually white, middle-aged and male, standing on a hill and ‘telling you like it is’. We all recognise the era of that has passed.”

     Australians need to watch US politics closely because what we see unfolding is how the Deep State and their puppet government seeks to impose its agenda, and to hell with democracy. The Democrats believe that Clinton, if not Obama, should be in power, and they will do whatever it takes to destroy Trump. The same measures were never done by Republicans in the past. The difference is that progressives are basically grown up versions of antifa, and retain the same lawless desire to utterly destroy enemies, not consider them as fellow citizens. It is unfortunate, but if that is how the game has to be played, sheer survival requires that Trump respond in kind. He probably has only one shot, and to date has constantly dropped the ball because of his weakness, and perhaps lack of intellect to take in the whole picture.

“A spreadsheet reportedly circulating among House Republicans details over 100 potential investigations into President Donald Trump that Democrats will launch if they win the November elections. They intend to impeach him — or, at best, cripple his presidency.
The document, reported by Axios on Sunday and hinted at by HuffPost on Friday (which put the number at a mere 52 investigations), is said to have Republicans “getting ready for hell,” as Democrats will use oversight to create gridlock, or worse.
Axios reports that some of the investigations, based on requests for inquiries made by Democrats while in the minority, include:

To The Australian          Roger Bridgland is mistaken (30/8) in claiming that Lauren Southern "is responsible for subsequent events" after organizing a speaking tour that she knew in advance would be controversial. For, while she could indeed reasonably expect "protests" and that her views would not "go uncontested", she cannot from that be fairly held responsible for the kind of protesting and contesting that her opponents actually engaged in. It was their decision to engage in violent and destructive mob behaviour and it is they who should be held responsible for the need to contain it. Moreover, society (in this case the state and people of Victoria) needs to ensure that it has an effective police force that will crack down on mob violence and threats thereof. If Victoria Police regularly does that, it won't be long before such massive police presence will not be needed at controversial public assemblies.

     I have been saying for some time that with regards to the gender agenda, the next horizon will be undermining the taboo on paedophilia. The chattering class in America, and most probably here too, seem to get off on underage sex, and media sites, even somewhat mainstream, often report on the latest scandal. France may well be a testing ground for what is to come next, for the elites never rest, their sole reason for being is to completely dissolve tradition society:
  https://yournewswire.com/french-law-children-consent-sex/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

“President Macron’s government has voted against having an age of consent in France, becoming the latest nation to give in to pressure from an international network of liberal activists determined to normalize pedophilia and decriminalize sex with children across the world. Federal law in France now has no legal age of consent, meaning adults who have sex with children of any age will not be prosecuted for rape if the child victim is unable to prove “violence, threat, duress, or surprise.” The draft bill against sexual and gender-based violence, known as the Schiappa law, was signed into law by the French Parliament on 3 August, sparking outrage in France as parents and children’s rights groups accuse Emmanuel Macron’s government of betraying the nation’s children. The lack of an age of consent places millions of children in serious danger of sexual abuse in France, according to child protection officials. Childrens’ rights groups criticised Emmanuel Macron’s government for failing to provide a legal age of consent to protect children, pointing to the recent decision by French courts to refuse to prosecute two pedophiles for the rape of 11-year-old girls because authorities couldn’t prove the children did not consent.”

     Immigration, they say, bring people together, including, it seems, slaves and former slave owners:

“A former Yazidi sex slave came face-to-face with her ISIS captor after escaping captivity to flee to Germany but was told that police could do nothing because he was a refugee, it has been claimed. Ashwaq Ta’lo was kidnapped by ISIS in August 2014, aged 15, and was kept in captivity by the jihadist man for three months but escaped and made her way to Europe. Speaking in a Facebook video, she said she had seen the man, Abu Humam, in 2016 and then again earlier this year in Schwäbisch Gmünd in south-western Germany. She told police and asylum officials about the encounter and although they identified the man from CCTV they said there was nothing they could do because the man was also registered as a refugee, The Times reports.”

     It feels like we have to fight the same old battles over and over again. I am referring to the rise of socialism, but in reality, socialism was never defeated, it simply mutated in form, becoming cultural Marxism. Now most young Americans prefer socialism to capitalism:
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/08/16/report-young-americans-prefer-socialism-to-capitalism/

“A new report from Gallup revealed that young people prefer socialism to capitalism. The Gallup report, which was published on August 13, details American attitudes on socialism and capitalism. The results specifically identified that positive attitude towards socialism amongst millennials. The majority of Americans, aged 18 to 29, now prefer socialism to capitalism. Americans aged 18 to 29 are as positive about socialism (51%) as they are about capitalism (45%). This represents a 12-point decline in young adults’ positive views of capitalism in just the past two years and a marked shift since 2010, when 68% viewed it positively. Meanwhile, young people’s views of socialism have fluctuated somewhat from year to year, but the 51% with a positive view today is the same as in 2010. A report from CNBC on the Gallup poll argued that many young Americans are struggling to get by in the current economy. For example, wages haven’t risen to match the rise in the cost-of-living. As a result, many young Americans are blaming the system for their struggles.

     I have been covering the implosion of Sweden, and there has not been a single grain of good news to report, until now:
  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/far-right-sweden-democrats-hope-topple-century-socialism-n901131

“Around 4,000 far-right supporters gathered on the grounds of a ruined castle last weekend to plot the downfall of the socialist ideas that have come to define their progressive country. Their views — anti-immigration, anti-establishment and often anti-Muslim — are not new amid the populist tsunami that’s crashed into much of the West. But this is Sweden, where socialists have dominated every election for the past 101 years, making the Nordic nation something of a lodestar for leftists around the world. Some polls predict that the supporters’ favored party, the Sweden Democrats, with roots in neo-Nazism and white nationalism, will win as much as 25 percent of the vote in an election scheduled for Sept. 9. Such a result would likely earn the Sweden Democrats more seats in Parliament than any other single party. At the party’s annual summer festival here, speeches were interspersed with heavy metal music as supporters gathered at Sölvesborg Castle for the headline act: an address by Jimmie Åkesson, the 39-year-old leader of the Sweden Democrats. “He’s the only politician I can trust,” a retiree named Jan shouted above the din. “We need him for our country. I don’t have so many years left, but for my children and for my grandchildren.”

     About 3,000 Swedes, people living in a space that was once “Sweden,” have had microchips implanted in their hands, to make life easier. Yes, it is just too damned hard to get cards out of one’s pocket. This practice is starting to catch on in some US firms, where employees can have the convenience of getting a can of coke without even going for their credit card:
  https://www.technologyreview.com/s/611884/this-company-embeds-microchips-in-its-employees-and-they-love-it/

“When Patrick McMullan wants a Diet Dr Pepper while he’s at work, he pays for it with a wave of his hand. McMullan has a microchip implanted between his thumb and forefinger, and the vending machine immediately deducts money from his account. At his office, he’s one of dozens of employees who have been doing likewise for a year now. McMullan is the president of Three Square Market, a technology company that provides self-service mini-markets to hospitals, hotels, and company break rooms. Last August, he became one of roughly 50 employees at its headquarters in River Falls, Wisconsin, who volunteered to have a chip injected into their hand. The idea came about in early 2017, he says, when he was on a business trip to Sweden—a country where some people are getting subcutaneous microchips to do things like enter secure buildings or book train tickets.

To The Australian          Stephen Chavura ably shows why the Left is so hostile to intellectual freedom ("Free speech is Morrison's chance to lead like Menzies", 31/8) and his advice to our new PM to launch a campaign in its defence is thoroughly sensible. The question needs to be asked, however, as to why the Left has become so powerful in our land despite its manifest errors, contradictions and unworkable policies. A vacuum must have occurred into which this torrent has poured; or, to use biblical language, in removing one devil we have inadvertently made space for seven new and worse devils to take over. Western European civilization successfully threw off the shackles of ecclesiastical obscurantism and the age of science swept in. The resultant vacuum manifests as the loss of influence and authority of the Church. Many human beings have to have a cause to fight for. Modern secular crusades was the answer.
     This indicates that it won't be enough for the West to bring back more freedom of speech. We need to revive our Christian sacred tradition so that it can provide worthy causes for activists to espouse. In essence, this means a realization that a profound initiatory tradition expressing itself through symbolism was perverted seventeen or more centuries ago into an absurd belief system and preposterous theology about the 'saving sacrifice' of Jesus.
