     As a grateful product of education ‘back in the 1950s’, I point out that there is much more to the traditional style of education promoted by Kevin Donnelly than the ‘rote learning, memorisation, mental arithmetic and explicit teaching’ quoted by Dr Linda Zibell (12/5). This is summed up in his 2016 booklet ‘The Culture of Freedom’, where he explains that education, as the main vehicle used to hand on culture from generation to generation, is ‘not moribund or concerned with preserving the status quo’, because it involves ‘questioning once accepted truisms and orthodoxies’ and a new ‘search for truth.’ Such an approach very definitely encourages children through all three levels of education to use their imagination. It needs foundations, however, including the four processes Dr Zibell appears to disdain.

     Intolerant rejection of Islam as a whole (12/4) itself needs to be firmly rejected. It is possible to admire and/or follow this sacred tradition without supporting repressive aspects of man-made Muslim law practised in some nations. Thus there is both truth and falsity in Catholic Babette Francis’s claim that ‘Muslims are the main victims of Islam and need liberation.’ Equally true-and-false would be a claim that Christians are the main victims of Christianity, whose erratic ‘orthodoxy’ was not so long ago a straitjacket imposed by burnings at the stake and witch-hunts.

     John George notes that ‘Turkey was once a country where Christianity and Islam lived harmoniously side by side.’ Australia, now and in the future, can be the same. Both Christians and Muslims need, however, to acknowledge that their sacred scriptures are the products of human writers, inspired in varying degrees in some parts and thus needing subtle and compassionate interpretation. If Islam is understood as ‘submission to God’ and not, say, acceptance of all sharia law, then it is indeed ‘the only religion’ - one recognised by Christians as ‘obedience to the Almighty’.

     There is no doubt that Wagner was a great musical genius (‘Wagner’s chorus of racial hatred’, 13-14/5), but there is also a strange tone or timbre in much of his work that causes unease and may be the musical expression of a powerful and self-indulgent egoism. There is also no doubt that he published commentary on Jews and Judaism which is an embarrassment to his admirers. However, he was not the first or the last genius to have serious personal deficiencies.

     The parable of the tares suggests that the wisest approach to such people is to harvest what is valuable and leave aside that which is not. Wagner’s greatest works - beautiful, profound and spiritual - are a worthy contribution to Western and even world culture. The man can be adversely criticised for his own faults, but not fairly for the faults of those who came after him. And, after all, not everything he wrote about Jews is wrong. Like any other people they have their limitations and failures.

     The so-called ‘unique circumstances of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ (‘”Let us take the lead on reforms”’, 15/5) do not in any way prove that there should be any kind of special constitutional recognition for them. Such proposals need to take into account the future well-being of not only this small group of Australians but of all Australians. Seen in this light it is apparent that the whole process of seeking such recognition should be ended as soon as possible. Equity and national security demand this.

     In some matters - and this is one - the clock cannot be put back. The proper kinds of recognition of these peoples, past and present, should be kept within the ambit of historical and cultural respect. No Australian citizen today - or particular sub-group of Australians - should be given any privileged constitutional status over others. We do not want a divided nation or a partitioned continent.

    Ah, multiculturalism, simply wonderful…According to a group of women it is alright for Muslim men to hit their wives: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/its-ok-to-hit-wives-say-hizb-uttahrir-women/news-story/52dd838887cb0a0c32686c7a31cb96d8. As I want to get this accurate, I will attempt the magic trick of cutting and pasting from the article with my electronic scissors:

“Muslim men are allowed to hit their wives — but only gently, and not with fists, instead using short sticks and pieces of fabric, according to a new video produced by the Australian women’s branch of radical Islamic political movement Hizb ut-Tahrir.

    Freedom types in the US typically are libertarians, lovers of freedoms such as gun rights, and wanting limited governments and interference, but also holding to open borders for trade and the free movement of people. Central to their worldview is economicism, a belief that the economy is of central importance, and that the nation does not exist, in fact society does not exist beyond individuals. Anything else is socialism! Ayn Rand (Alisa Rosenbaum), is one leading exponent, although some disagree with even this claim: http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-11-29/ayn-rand-was-not-libertarian.

    I object to libertarianism because they are simply wrong about the ontology of society. Sure, socialism goes too far into collectivism, but it is an unscientific mind that cannot see that humans are social beings who inherited not only a genotype, but a cultural phenotype from past societies. Society does exist, races and ethnic groups do exist, and human history and anthropology says that they do. Big business is not the friend of the people, but our enemy, plundering the planet for power and profit. The Left failed to say this, being concerned with promoting White genocide.

     A.Klyosov and I. Rozhanskii, “Re-Examining the “Out of Africa” theory and the Origins of Europeoids (Caucasoids) in Light of DNA Genealogy,” Advances in Anthropology, vol. 2, 2012, pp. 80-86, challenges aspects of the out of Africa dominant politically correct paradigm: http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2014/01/anthropologys-obsession-with-african-origins/.

     These researchers examined 7,556 haplotypes, which are a set of genetic determinants inherited from a single parent, including European and African haplotypes. It was found that there were a large number of haplogroups not carried by the Europeans, specifically the “out of Africa” hypothesis was disproved by non-African people lacking the African haplogroup A genes.

    An article that was mentioned briefly before in these pages, needs to be remembered: https://cairnsnews.org/2015/09/25/dreamtime-a-cruel-delusion-of-british-anthropologists/. The article makes the argument that following anthropologist Alfred Cort Haddon’s book, The Races of Man (1909), the Aborigines are likely to be new comers, compared to a Negrito people who allegedly originally inhabited the country. Pre-1770 explorers such as William Dampier who visited West and Northern Australia in the late 1600s saw these people. He described a race of people with hair “curled like the Negroes,” which the modern Aborigine does not have. The Aborigines may displaced them, for where else could they have gone?

    Anyone supporting this theory will need to address arguments such as that given by R. Tobler (et al.), “Aboriginal Mitogenomes Reveal 50,000 Years of Regionalism in Australia,” Nature, (2017); doi:10.1038/nature21416, which allegedly found “evidence for the continuous presence of populations in discrete geographic areas dating back to around 50 [thousand years], in agreement with the notable Aboriginal Australian cultural attachment to their country.”

    It is no conspiracy, there really is a lot of space junk floating above the Earth, in orbit: http://collapse.news/2017-05-05-space-pollution-reaching-dangerous-levels-as-750000-pieces-of-debris-are-orbiting-earth.html; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/04/21/750000-pieces-debris-orbiting-earth-threaten-future-spaceflight/.

    There are over 750,000 hunks of dangerous material orbiting the Earth, coming from 5,250 space launches since 1957. These objects are larger than one cm and there are an estimated 166 million pieces of junk larger than one mm, all of this material traveling faster than a bullet. It is somewhat surprising that more damage has not occurred to modern satellites given that they are essentially in a shooting gallery.

    Predictably enough, Le Pen was crushed by her globalist former Rothschild banker opponent, like a truck going over a biro. I know that there is a large case to be made of dirty tactics, cheating and all the rest, but at some point the good guys need to face up to internal weaknesses that have led to a culture of defeats. Given the weak nature of modern Whites, it is necessary to constantly whistle in the dark, to keep the nerve of the weak up. But, alone here in private, we can talk frankly.

    The fact remains that the majority of the population, at least in France, are not “on side.” They consent to continual immigration and terrorist attacks. That is exactly how the ruling globalist elites will interpret Le Pen’s defeat. France will be slammed by globalism as never before, and no doubt has now reached a tipping point where no (sic) dumocratic solution to its problems is possible. Given the cucked nature of the population, France will disintegrate into chaos, ultimately with a sharia law government gaining control of its nuclear weapons. Prediction: that will happen by 2030 at the latest.

Assimilation, the idea that small numbers of migrants, very gradually come to integrate into a dominant culture, and then blend in, is one of the great myths of liberalism. It has been debunked, first by  recent Islamic immigration, not only with home-grown terrorism: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/12/opinions/orlando-homegrown-terror-bergen/, but also with the process of endless chain migration which has now been set into motion: http://www.dw.com/en/report-nearly-one-in-two-muslims-in-germany-engaged-in-aiding-refugees/a-38137761, and its dispossessing effects upon the dwindling numbers of locals: http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/05/everything-you-have-learned-in-school-is-wrong/.

Secondly, the assimilation thesis is defeated  by the sheer numbers of migrants which have completely transformed Western society. Australia, in particular is paraded as a “successful” multicultural society because the elites have been completely able to transform its Anglo-Saxon basis, 99 percent at Federation, to one where nearly half of all Australians, which only has a legal meaning, were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/australias-demographic-details-will-shock-you-almost-half-of-us-are-foreigners-or-their-children/news-story/7ae164c13cf15f7e9b5d3ee7c6465816. This is “successsful” because the transformation was done without a civil revolt, because of the deracination of Anglos and white pathology, something which needs discussion all on its own. It is not “successful’ considering the ethnic interests: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Genetic_Interests of the displaced group, any more than Aboriginalists see their displacement as “successful.”

Filming undercover in East Timor in 1993 I followed a landscape of crosses: great black crosses etched against the sky, crosses on peaks, crosses marching down the hillsides, crosses beside the road. They littered the earth and crowded the eye.  
The inscriptions on the crosses revealed the extinction of whole families, wiped out in the space of a year, a month, a day.  Village after village stood as memorials.

Kraras is one such village. Known as the "village of the widows", the population of 287 people was murdered by Indonesian troops.

We have been debating a most delightful fellow from China who objects to our material. At first I thought that he was defending the notion that the Chinese were the smartest people on Earth, but he has said in a recent email that he is sceptical that intelligence differs between races, citing the falsification of the supposedly low genetic IQ scores of Hispanics when better environments are provided: see also Fred Reed’s critique of the racial realists on this point: http://takimag.com/article/race_realism_and_race_realists_fred_reed#axzz4fizFdR9t.

However Mr Li also believes that the Ashkenazi Jews are “smarter than my people, the East Asians.” He says that this is “Not because of genetics, but because of their culture, which emphasizes learning for the sake of knowledge, unlike ours, which merely emphasizes learning for the sake of getting a better life.”
Well, blow me over – so much for the Confucian ethic and the virtues of learning, all seemingly long gone:  https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/confucius.

As the Libbies get ready to do us over with the next budget, the universities are in line for a thrashing. Student fees are likely to rise by 25 percent, students will start repaying their loans sooner, so that they can be obedient wage slaves all their pitiful lives, and they will be charged a loan fee at the start of their studies. Yes, as much as I hate the universities I cannot but wonder where does all of the money go from the trillions of full-fee-paying foreign students, who all eventually become migrants?

The universities soak up $ 9.5 billion each year in taxpayers’ money. Much of that goes to feed 66,500 administrators, and masses of senior academic staff receiving over $150,000 a year for doing as little as possible. It is well known that much of the teaching is done by junior staff, while the seniors just have a smooth ride from big pay to the next. What is worse is that thousands of academic draw a salary in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences from working to destroy Traditional Australia. They are now openly attacking Whites, even if they are White themselves, like a virus-infected disease organism, because the reward structure is good.

While there is a move to attack and discredit IQ at this site, which I think is a good thing given the reductionist nature of this measure, perhaps some parting shots will be permitted before moving on.

Renewal vol. 20, no. 2, reported on IQ studies done on children born in Californian communes conducted by UCLA anthropologist Professor Thomas S. Weisner: http://articles.latimes.com/1991-12-06/news/mn-503_1_countercultural-children. These children were Anglo and had an IQ average of 113, with the Anglo control group having an IQ of 114. There have been a few studies like this, but it is politically incorrect to measure anything other than the broad category of “White,” which will certainly generate lower IQ scores given its vast variety (regression to the mean), taking in all manner of sub-groups with lower IQ scores.

We know that an alternative economic/financial position such as social credit, which would ring in an era of untold freedom and prosperity, is held at present by a minority of the population, say less than 10 percent. But, what happens as more people hear about the doctrine and word spreads? Scientists have now shown that a minority opinion, once reaching 10 percent of the population grows fast and soon becomes the dominant paradigm: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/07/110725190044.htm.

A team of scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,  who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover the tipping point where a minority belief becomes the majority opinion. According to SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski,

Today it is not politically correct to argue with pride for the achievements of the white race, especially the Nordic group. According to the political Left, races are a social construction, and do not exist until it is convenient for the elites to do a flip flop on that, when whites need to be genocided, punished, abused or non-whites need rewarding by affirmative action. Then races exist.

I notice with interest Charles Murray’s tables in Human Accomplishment  (Harper Collins, 2003), reproduced at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Accomplishment. This is worth considering in detail because it shows that White Europeans did succeed, for better or for worse, in creating the modern world, because if we are to fight for survive, it is important to know that there is something worth fighting for, some higher ideal.

The latest in the gender agenda war is that feminism clubs are being established in schoolyards right across the country, to fight for gender equality which has still not come, and never will, and to  attack “white male privilege” and “hegemonic masculinity,” you know, the usual nonsense: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/education/victorian-schools-adopt-antiprivilege-feminist-clubs/news-story/abcabe64665c4aa1e134354979daa730.

This sort of compost is produced by academic feminists by the truckloads each day at tax payer funded universities. These women, or womyn, are all well paid. They are well fed, and warmly wrapped in their traditional Leftoid scarves, unlike the thousands of homeless men struggling to survive on our streets: http://www.homelessnessaustralia.org.au/index.php/about-homelessness/homeless-statistics.

Fat cats need a diet 
As Australia's resources fat cats made the billionaires top 100 list again, I was reminded of Alaska which in 1976, nine years after oil was discovered, amended its Constitution to dedicate its yearly oil revenues, in part, to a state investment fund.
Every person since 1982, a permanent fund dividend has been paid to every Alaskan men, woman and child in recognition of the ownership, in part, of its resources.
From a 2008 high of $3269, in more recent years the PFD has been between $1000 and $1500 per person.

    So sang John Lennon with the Beatles in 1968. Now it seems, Generation Y and Z may be looking in precisely that direction for social change: https://qz.com/971374/europes-youth-dont-care-to-vote-but-theyre-ready-to-join-a-mass-revolt/.

    A survey of around 580,000 young Europeans, from 13 countries, as part of an EU-sponsored survey, titled, Generation What? http://www.generation-what.eu/en/, asked the question: would you actively participate in a large-scale uprising against the generation in power if it happened in the next days or months. Over half of the 18 to 34 year olds said that they would. For example,  67 percent of young people in Greece, and 65 percent in Italy were prepared to join a large-scale uprising, but only 37 percent of Germans. However, 61 percent of the French were willing to revolt, a figure which coheres with the large-scale disillusionment of French voters with the political process and elections:  http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/799707/French-election-boycott-vote-blanc-not-voting-Marine-Le-Pen. There is a small chance that the 14 million people who are boycotting the elections could lead to Le Pen becoming president, which would be a sweet irony. But, it won’t happen, because the NWO elites will not permit it, even for a token resistance, as given by Trump.
