“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.”

     Here I was using Goooooooogle Chrome with gay abandon, my balding scalp’s remain hair flowing in the IT breeze, and then there is this news:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-04-13-google-chrome-browser-scans-all-the-files-on-your-computer.html

“Google has come under fire for many questionable actions as of late — and the startling revelation that their widely used web browser, Google Chrome, is scanning personal computers around the world is nothing short of infuriating for its users. Big Brother is here — and countless numbers of people have invited this authoritarian presence (in one form or another) while being none the wiser. Indeed, some of the world’s largest corporations (like Google and Amazon) are continuing to find new ways to invade user privacy. In addition to a spying web browser, devices like Google Home and the Amazon Echo (and Alexa) are going places where the prying eyes of corporate interests have never gone before.

     My son pointed out to me the pun in the title, but I still just don’t see it. Never mind, I am old. With all the dirt being flung around abut Hollywood there is still the only slightly opened can of worms of paedophilia:
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/04/13/movie-producer-mainstream-media-may-be-ignoring-signs-of-child-abuse-in-hollywood/ 

“Gabe Hoffman, the producer of An Open Secret, a documentary about child sex abuse in Hollywood, argued in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News this week that the mainstream media has historically ignored red flags about potential child abuse in the entertainment industry. Hoffman, a hedge fund manager by trade, is the producer of An Open Secret, an explosive 2015 documentary about child sex abuse in Hollywood. Speaking with Breitbart News this week about the film, Hoffman argued that, despite the recent #MeToo movement, the mainstream media doesn’t seem ready to cover Hollywood’s pervasive child abuse problem.

     Remember the Skripal-Russia-poisoned-them mania from the last crazy news cycle? That has fallen from the press now as the chatters eagerly promote World War III to relieve their hyper-affluence produced  world weariness. But, the Skripal affair was yet another poison hoax it seems, as the narrative has fallen apart:
  https://www.rt.com/news/424149-skripal-poisoning-bz-lavrov/ 

“The substance used on Sergei Skripal was an agent called BZ, according to Swiss state Spiez lab, the Russian foreign minister said. The toxin was never produced in Russia, but was in service in the US, UK, and other NATO states. Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with an incapacitating toxin known as 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, citing the results of the examination conducted by a Swiss chemical lab that worked with the samples that London handed over to the Organisation for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons (OPCW). The Swiss center sent the results to the OPCW.

     Cucked Deep State pet President Trumpet could have avoided open conflict with Russia by saying that Congress had to act, and that the UN Security One World Government had to give their approval for mass slaughter. Or, he could have stated the obvious, that like the alleged weapons of mass destruction that were supposed to be in Iraq, the US was not even sure what gas was used, so before killing people with bombs, we had best check things out, because after all, we are punishing a murderer and would not want to be a murderer as well. But, no.

     I thought about putting in Alex Jone’s rampage against Trump, but then I realised that it would not be suitable because it turned out to be just a four-lettered rage, without him using his freedom of speech to name those really behind all of this. Great acting though. Despite all of this bravado, the Russian-backed Syrian Air Defense knocked out 71 of the 103 missiles shot at it, a pretty good hit rate:

     Well , some are now saying what I have been saying for years about the failure of the universities:

     In an article entitled, “Slutty Sheep: Veteran Academics Warn College Students are going off the Rails,” it is said:

     Coming from a hippie/alternative lifestyle position in the 1970s, to being Alt Right in my old age, I confess to having many friends who were “orange people,” followers of Osho, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Like many of the cults of the 1970s, this was Indian based, although the movement eventually went to the US where it imploded into murder and mayhem, all centred around the right hand woman of Ma Anand Sheela.
  http://www.breitbart.com/social-justice/2018/04/09/leftists-are-celebrating-the-perpetrator-of-the-u-s-s-largest-bioterror-attack-because-shes-a-woman/

“To defend the Rajneesh movement from the overreach of the state of Oregon, Sheela organized the first and largest bioterror attack in United States’ history. After carefully cultivating salmonella, Sheela instructed her followers to secretly place it in food items at Oregon restaurants. 751 people were infected and 45 were hospitalized. For this crime, Sheela only served 29 months of a 20-year sentence in a California prison. Breitbart News highlighted a report last week from FiveThirtyEight that shined a light on the U.S. Sentencing Commission revelation that American women of all races receive shorter prison sentences than white men who commit the same crimes.”

     Attention in both the mainstream and alternative media is presently focused upon potential US Russia war, which could happen at any time. However, the threat of yet another India vs Pakistan war may be more real:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-07/india-builds-over-14000-bunkers-preparation-war-pakistan 
  https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/government-plans-14000-bunkers-to-shield-civilians-from-pakistan-fire/articleshow/63619130.cms

“The government will build 13,029 bunkers for individual households in five border districts in Jammu & Kashmir - Samba, Poonch, Jammu, Kathua and Rajouri - who face the wrath of shelling from Pakistani forces. Another 1,431 large community bunkers will be built, each of which can accommodate 40 people in these districts. The state-owned National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) will build these bunkers in areas that lie within 3 kilometres from the border and are first in line of sight from international border or line of control (LoC). While each individual bunker of 160 sq feet will be enough to accommodate 8-10 persons, every community bunker can provide shelter to about 40 persons.”

     Perhaps the greatest philosopher of the 20th century, Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), famously said: the human body is the best picture of the soul.” It is profound like everything “the Witt.” said. It indicates to me that one can judge, to some degree a “book” by its cover. Horrible evil people usually look bad. Beauty usually goes with goodness, not always, but more often than not. This is the so-called science of physiognomy, said by the liberal/multicults to be discredited.

     No so, argues Edward Dutton in How to Judge People by What They Look Like, (Kindle, 2018). I intend to buy the book on Kindle as it is cheaper, but unfortunately I spent today’s budget on a dental bill (wisdom tooth extraction: now I have no “wisdom”) which sunk me, so I must rely upon the review at vdare.com, which is always accurate on these matters:

     More bad news for US gun advocates, as the federal courts show their illiteracy about firearms.
  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/assault-weapons-not-protected-second-amendment-federal-appeals-court-rules-n724106

“Maryland’s ban on 45 kinds of assault weapons and its 10-round limit on gun magazines were upheld Tuesday by a federal appeals court in a decision that met with a strongly worded dissent. In a 10-4 ruling, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, said the guns banned under Maryland’s law aren’t protected by the Second Amendment. “Put simply, we have no power to extend Second Amendment protections to weapons of war,” Judge Robert King wrote for the court, adding that the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller explicitly excluded such coverage. Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, who led the push for the law in 2013 as a state senator, said it’s “unthinkable that these weapons of war, weapons that caused the carnage in Newtown and in other communities across the country, would be protected by the Second Amendment.”

     More news from the multicult war zone of gun-free Britain, this time about machetes. Ah, machetes, how I love thee! A truly useful tool for clearing away hardy weeds such as blackberry, but here in Australia it is hard to find them in your hardware shop, and if they are under lock and key, these machetes are the really short puny sort. Nevertheless one can still purchase decent ones on EBay, some for as little as $4, which are rough, but still functional. Cold Steel, the US knife company, makes a whole catalogue of machetes replicating many swords, such as its Chinese war sword machete.

In camping one could get by not even taking an axe. But, I digress, lost in the wonder of the machete, but there is relevance, since the machete is a cheap sword which is disposable, a “don’t-care -weapon.” That is why it is used in bladed attacks rather than heavier swords, which are more expensive, and not as fast. Kept sharp, the machete is dangerous and easily cuts flesh, as the meat cutting demonstrations by Cold Steel on YouTube well show (kiddies, and adult children, seek parental approval first):

To THE ADVERTISER          One would have expected the new SA Liberal Government would be resistant to implementing the former ALP policies, but it is proceeding with the establishment of the Local Government Grants Commission (LGGC) due next January, (Advertiser April 18, 2018). This independent body will assess proposals or make recommendations for boundary changes and amalgamation of Councils. The new Minister Knoll has said that the Government will not force amalgamations but he admits any changes to boundaries or amalgamations may be initiated by just one Council or the Minister. This will of course, lead to amalgamation of unwilling parties.

     The other subtle tool to promote amalgamation is rate capping which will stifle Councils to some degree and they will then be lured into amalgamation in pursuit of the mystical savings. Any Council of that mind should firstly attempt to discover which Council can demonstrate lower costs following the previous round of amalgamations. The best Councils are often the smallest ones because they are close to the people and have to show greater responsibility to their community.  On the other hand, the recent public outcry over excessive spending and wastage has been directed to the State’s largest Council. Centralisation is not in the community interest. Therefore, we and Councillors need to remain alert and analyse all proposals.

     Apparently it is not common sense that babies require to be adequately fed, and there is a duty of care upon medical professionals to tell migrants that:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/04/15/refugee-family-set-win-millions-nhs-foreign-language/

“A refugee family is set for a multi-million-pound NHS payout because a mother spoke no English and hospital staff did not explain to her how to care for her newborn in her native language. The child of the Rajatheepan family, originally from Sri Lanka, has been left with severe brain damage because midwives did not explain the importance of feeding the newborn regularly, a judge has ruled.”

     What! Has the ALoR survivalist nutjob finally lost the last bit of sanity he had? Yes, most definitely. But, Consider:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/syrian-conflict-australia-could-run-out-of-fuel-in-43-days-would-be-mad-max-world_04162018

“Australia is at risk of running out of fuel in the next few weeks due to the ongoing conflict in Syria. The escalating situation in the war-torn country threatens to cripple the supply chains that keep Australia going. While the International Energy Agency mandates that countries hold a stock reserve “equivalent to 90 days of net imports,” Australia only has 43 days worth of supply, the Australian reports. And that could be cut down even further if a global crisis threatens supply channels from places like the Middle East.

     I like apocalyptic cinema being a collapse/doomsday kind of guy, but I stopped watching the zombie TV show, AMC’s The Walking Dead, this year. Boring, long drawn out stuff, the usual, from shows that have lived too long. We are no friends of popular culture here, but I want to point out an interesting paradox in the show. Basically, we have a core group led by ex-cop Rick Grimes. Then there are the bad guys led by warlord Negan. Negan represents the Alt Right, Rick pc liberalism. Team Rick is largely multiracial and diverse gay characters, with no transgenders, yet. Negan’s crew is mainly white.

     Anyway, while the show has Negan as the ultimate bad guy, it was pointed out by the Negan character to Rick, that Rick was the real baddie, killing more people in cold blood than him. While we are to believe that Negan’s tribe live under a dictator, Rick is even more of a dictator, making all of the decisions. In the last episode of season 8,  he fought Negan in the standard one-on-one battle and decided to let him live, even though his number 2 wanted him dead for closure for killing her husband. No democratic vote on that. The point here is that the show perfectly illustrates the inner contradictions of liberalism, that while promoting freedom and diversity and democracy, and even peace, it in practice seeks the opposite, ultimately leading to enslavement. We see it happen daily.

     I have heard of female body builders getting pregnant for a hormone surge, then having an abortion. Now it seems that sports abortions are widespread:
  http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2018/04/16/hawkins-female-college-athletes-pressured-abortions-stay-peak-condition/

“Female college athletes are forced to withstand a campaign of pressure to terminate pregnancies in order to stay in top condition, according to a piece in the Washington Examiner. One U.S. Olympic gold medalist, Sanya Richards-Ross, recently admitted to Sports Illustrated that she was pressured to have an abortion just ahead of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. Richards-Ross claimed that she didn’t know any female athletes who hadn’t had an abortion to keep them in competition, according to the Washington Examiner. “I literally don’t know another female track and field athlete who hasn’t had an abortion,” Richards-Ross said."

     This one will show the true colours of the immigration-mad Left, who want a world without borders: bringing the white South African farmers here, as they face genocide at the hands of the South African non-white society:
  https://www.thesouthafrican.com/brisbane-march-south-african-farmers/

“Groups of Australians and South African expats gathered in Brisbane to show their support for proposals that would offer refugee status to white South African farmers. Aussie Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has suggested his country should offer fast-track visas to farm owners, who he says may be at risk of losing their properties if land expropriation with compensation goes ahead. Citizens of Brisbane took to the streets on Sunday, voicing their concerns about the policy which was given the Parliamentary green light back in February. Around 2,000 people were estimated to have attended the march, which featured slogans such as “bring them here” and “allow our families into Australia”. Not only was the march used to show support for the fast-track visa proposal, but there was also a gathering of prayer for the demonstrators. They prayed for the protection of law enforcement, the military, and of all legal counsel.”

     Whatever happens geopolitically, a generation of parasites, the Baby Boomers, have sucked away the future for young people, unless radical social change occurs. For example, a combination of economics, and mass immigration has mean that most of our young will never, on the business as usual scenario own a house:
  http://www.bbc.com/news/business-43788537 

“Up to a third of young people face living in private rented accommodation all their lives, a new report by the Resolution Foundation has found. The think tank said 40% of “millennials” - those born between 1980 and 1996 - were living in rented housing by the age of 30. That was twice as many as “generation X” - those born between 1965 and 1980. The government said it was already putting policies in place to improve the housing market. The Foundation’s Home Improvements report said “generation rent” needed much more help. It called for more affordable homes for first-time buyers to be built, as well as better protection for those who rent. Although renting is often a reasonable choice for people who have few ties, the private rented sector is “far less fit for purpose” for those with children because of a lack of security. The report reveals that a record 1.8 million families with children rent privately, up from 600,000 15 years ago.”

Most chapters of human history are defined by the tools and machines that were used.

In the Stone Age, the first tools were “green tools” – digging sticks, spears, boomerangs, bows and arrows made of wood; and axes, clubs, knives and grinders made of stone. These were all powered by human energy.
