Few of us care about synagogues being built: how do they harm us? And, few of us would oppose the construction of a new synagogue, especially in iconic Jewish areas such as Bondi. It is simply part of Australian culture. Yet, as incredible as it sounds, the construction of a new synagogue has been stopped, not because of Nazi protests, but because of the Islamic terrorism threat. Here is a news summary of the key points: http://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/bondi-synagogue-ban-over-terrorism-risk-leaves-jewish-community-shocked-and-furious/news-story/6ec6252d613583df7797c7cac2b25de4:

“A LOCAL council has banned the construction of a synagogue in Bondi because it could be a terrorist target, in a shock move that religious leaders say has caved in to Islamic extremism and created a dangerous precedent.  The decision, which has rocked the longstanding Jewish community in the iconic suburb, was upheld in court this week as the nation reeled from the alleged airline terror threat and debate raged over increased security measures at airports and other public places.

     In news that should worry all Australians, the Coalition government has today told public servants that they can be sacked for their political opinions.  From The Australian:

The Turnbull government will today seek to impose restrictions on public servants criticising the Coalition on social media, warning that employees risk disciplinary action for “liking” anti-government posts or privately emailing negative material to a friend from home.
Documents obtained by The Australian show public servants would also be warned they could be in breach of the public service code of conduct if they do not remove “nasty comments” about the government posted by others on the employee’s Facebook page.

     I admire Andrew Bolt and the great work that he is doing. However this column: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/andrew-bolt/labors-society-of-bludgers/news-story/0dbb091e314d4419413ccf785d2a352b, “Labor’s Society of Bludgers,” seems to be reverting back to old fashioned class warfare.
     Of course, we know that the vision of Labor, like all of the Left, is one of parasitism, to have the many feed off of the few, especially through its tax policy on high income earners, which they think will pull in $10.8 billion over the next four years. That is not new and is what socialists do, just like dogs like to mess up lamp posts.

     A more urgent task for thinkers is to outline to the public the challenge which social credit poses to the established financial and economic system. This site has numerous articles on this, but let me tell the story simply. Today, many people are struggling to even buy a reasonable quantity of groceries to keep body and soul together. This is a dramatic illustration of the deficiency of purchasing power. There is no shortage of goods, but people do not have the money to get them. This intuition says that there is something fundamentally wrong with the present system and that we need to strive to find something better, to solve the fundamental economic problem.
     So, Andrew, how about a bit of thinking outside of the box, if you dare!

     It has been reported that Australia’s 38 public university Vice-Chancellors were paid on average $890,000. Eleven of the VCs got their scaly hands on over $ 1 million of taxpayers’ money: The Weekend Australian, August 5-6, 2017, p. 05. Well, they are called Vice-Chancellors.

     I am outraged at this vast waste of public money. I call on all concerned Australians to protest about this, to take to the streets in angry, legal demonstrations, demanding that the VCs be sacked and replaced by robots, or even monkeys, doing their jobs vastly cheaper and ten times more efficient.
Begin replacing all university academics by on-line teaching, and sack most lecturers. Close down the physical universities and make them into entertainment centres, homes or shopping complexes. Or, just bulldoze down the sandstone buildings, and leave the rubble as a symbol of the destruction which these bestial entities have caused humanity:
https://www.newcriterion.com/issues/1992/12/the-treason-of-the-intellectuals-ldquothe-undoing-of-thoughtrdquo 
Don’t get nostalgic about it; if necessary I will get the legals done and  drive the crane with the wrecking ball, and do the demolition work myself. For free. We have had enough of the abuse of the universities.
     Ok, who is with me on the first protest march, hands up?

     I don’t have money to buy books anymore, but I think I can do this review just from online comments, cobbling it together. Don’t tell anyone, it will just be a secret between you and me. Times are extremely hard in extreme Right journalism.

     Dinesh D’Souza, has just published The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left, (Regnery, 2017). The thesis of the book is that it is not President Trump and conservatives who are “Nazis,” as the Left likes to say, but they are themselves. So there! Take that! The American Left, as represented by the Democrats, has a racist past, and at present acts like typical fascists, attacking free speech, the right to associate, and everything good and noble. The rotters.

     Every US Senator, except Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders, voted for the Russian sanctions, even though there is no evidence that Russia did interfere in the US elections. Even if it did, Russia performed a service of exposing corruption, if not criminality, but the power elite do not worry about that:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/01/sarah-sanders-blasts-press-for-russia-scandal-fake-news-points-to-clintons-real-russia-relationships/

     All that counts is having something on Trump, who, for all his defects, has become a symbol of opposition to the New World Order, or as it is now called, globalism: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/sanctions-smoke-and-mirrors-from-a-kindergarten-on-lsd/.

     That is the conclusion which I have made after reading the latest news reports, claiming that US is now preparing for a imminent  North Korean nuclear strike: The Weekend Australian, August 5-6, 2017, p. 15. I note the irony of many now calling for Australia to develop defences against missiles, not only from North Korea, but also our great trading partner China: The Australian, August 4, 2017, p. 1 Why then did you elites feed the dragon in the first place and help make it so strong? Why should the national security elite and other members of the nervous political class talk about the “Chinese nuclear menace” now, after helping to build this very thing? Pig Iron Bob would be proud. So much for the Asianisation rhetoric.

     From what I have read, even if the US can shoot down North Korea’s nuclear missiles – and that is a big “if” – it is certain that North Korea can destroy the city of Seoul, which would severely impact upon the world’s high tech infrastructure. Worse would be a successful EMP attack on the US, which could kill 90 percent of Americans: http://www.emp.news/2017-04-12-emp-commission-chairman-confirms-that-a-nuclear-emp-attack-could-kill-90-of-the-u-s-population.html. Probably even more Australians would die in an EMP attack, given our high level of urbanisation. Not many Australians are prepared for anything, beyond fast food, drugs and grog.

     I am really getting to dislike this guy. If I wasn’t a Christian, I would have said a stronger word, like “hate.” But, you know the story, it’s not what we do. We love, but as I am full of original sin, I “dislike,” imperfect as I am. So, what has this bozo done now?

    Just to be sure I get this right, let me quote from the news service:

     No, despite your editorial claim (‘Leaders should unite on push for republic’, 29/7), the monarchy is much more than ‘a colonial and imperial relic’.  Monarchy by its nature enshrines something that no republic can provide: a glorious and spiritual mystique which has extraordinary power to unite subjects in a loyalty that provides national strength as well as the sense of being part of a noble enterprise, divinely sanctified. The oneness of the monarch echoes the oneness of God.
     The world’s arts and literature are filled with the joyful celebration of royalty. You will never find there anything comparable for republican presidents or prime ministers. As for Mr Shorten’s plans, it looks as though in a shifty manner he and his fellow-republicans are trying to dodge a referendum on the fundamental question. Such irresponsibility is the opposite of statesmanship.

     While we are still having debates about turning the other cheek, and whether or not one is justified defending one’s family from attackers seeking to eat us, or terrorists seeking to stab us:
http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/World/2017/07/28/22741370.html
and/or family, the Left is getting ready to do just that, at least in America.

     Far Left groups  are already undertaking terrorist and military training, to use extreme violence against conservatives. It is no longer, “Nazis,” that they seek to fight, but anyone opposing any aspect of the Left agenda. Look, here are some articles so you can judge this for yourself:

     Expect to see this in Australia, as we are always a few years behind the US in the decay and degeneracy stakes.

     Now here is something which really goes a long way in promoting multicult/multiracial harmony, especially at a time when there are tensions between local populations, who are being displaced, and migrant populations, who are surging to dominance:

     For the sake of accuracy, which is needed for people like us who are basically rabbits targeted for eradication, here is the punch line:

     Galarrwuy Yunupingu has given a clear and noble account of the traditional Aboriginal process of settlement, but seems unaware of how, after the history of the last two or three centuries, it is irrelevant to constitutional procedures in the Australia of today.  Another mistake he makes is to imagine that Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten can speak on the issue of constitutional recognition for all Australians. They cannot, and true democracy demands that any change must be effected by means of a properly conducted referendum. Finally, there is a contradiction between his professions that he and the authors of the Uluru statement wish to be part of a unified nation, while he pursues an obviously divisive course which does not represent the wishes of all Aboriginals anyway.

     Physicists and philosophers seem to have fallen in love with the idea of the multiverse: that there are other universes, not spatially connected to our own. There was first the splitting universe idea in quantum mechanics, to deal with the collapse of the wave packet problem, but today with string theory, it seems that everything goes;
https://www.theguardian.com/science/across-the-universe/2017/may/17/multiverse-have-astronomers-found-evidence-of-parallel-universes
https://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press/2982-new-survey-hints-at-exotic-origin-for-the-cold-spot
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/can-physicists-ever-prove-multiverse-real-180958813/
     Now, a popular idea of the multiverse is that all realities are actualised. Every possible world is real, in some universe. There is a world where I am not a fat, aging professor of physics in a third-rate US campus, but instead, a young hot-blooded Nobel Prize winner.

     To reduce this idea to absurdity, let as consider this possible world: one of the omnipotent multiverse annihilators! If all realities are actualised then there is one possible world where cosmic killers exist, who would seek to destroy all other universes. Argue by assumption that such psychopaths have the power to annihilate universes.
    Thus, on the assumption that the multiverse exists, it follows that it would not exist, since the cosmic killers would have annihilated us. Since they have not, they do not exist. It follows that the multiverse does not exist. Physicists need to go back to the drawing board. 

to THE AGE
     My defence of the spiritual nature of monarchy and its unifying capacity within the realm has struck a few nerves (letters, 1/8). Yes, of course there have been some very bad monarchs and others have been unable to successfully protect their peoples from disorder; but the majority of kings and queens, and not only those of Britain, have by and large ruled well and not betrayed the ideal. History has, too, a lengthy list of corrupt republics.
     It is significant that the world’s arts and literature are filled with the joyful celebration of royalty. By their very nature republics and presidents simply can’t compete, and no amount of derision can hide this.

     Here is an uncomfortable issue for conservatives. It has long been pointed out at many stronger sites that European women support refugee intake more than men. Why might this be?
    There is one proposal based on the fact that the majority of the refugees are young men of military age, who have fled the country to save their bacon, rather than women and children, who have been left behind:

     Tony Abbott effectively nails the republican issue on the head (‘Imagine Bill our Head of Fate’, 2/8) by reminding us that the Crown gives us ‘national continuity and a focus of loyalty that’s above politics’. Something enormously valuable that has been bequeathed to Australia by the British people’s 1100 year-old constitutional history will be lost if the republican campaign is successful. Abbott could have added that a constitutional monarchy, based on sacred tradition, is by far the best protection of a people against tyranny, whether that is based on inadequate ideology pushed by ‘green-left’ witchdoctors, lust for power in unbalanced persons or financial greed of cliques of merchants.

     An article, “Worker Implants ‘Only a Matter of Time’” The Australian, August 3, 2017, p. 6, reports on the alarming trend of workers being “enhanced” by implanted technology in their bodies, to be  able to perform their jobs better – for the corporates.
     It is expected that body and brain implants will be common by 2030, and of course, 70 percent of people will support it; 70 percent of people will support anything I suppose. The elites, though tend to ignore surveys that do not support their globalism, such that 71 percent of US liberals, surprisingly enough, support US immigration restriction of all legal and illegal immigration:

     People have become machines, as a prelude to being replaced by machines; here is yet another article celebrating our robot replacement future, and the end of the human world: “Rise of the Robot,” The Australian, August 3, 2017, p. 10.  Really, now, it is just a race between which horseman of the apocalypse gets us first: economic/cultural/ethnoracial breakdown, or the technological apocalypse.

     I probably know the least about technology at this site, but I did have a great Uncle Murphy, after whom, Murphy’s Law is named, which has to count for something. Everything will go wrong at the worst possible time: http://www.murphys-laws.com/.

     Now take ATM machines. I don’t even know what that stands for, if it stands for anything, but I have seen them. Yes, people who have money, get money out of them. These little boxes of joy seem to be everywhere, like telephone boxes once were, but you don’t see them anymore, do you? But, ATMs? Being on the dole, eternally, I would not know about that.

     Good work Aussie Security guys for stopping the jihadists gassing a plane, which may have crashed into a city. However, mass immigration has potentially made the West into the next battle field, and it is only a matter of time before some catastrophe like that, or worse, happens.

     An example of this “battleground Australia” is seen in the incident involving Islamist Numan Haider, who had been identified by ASIO as a national security risk. He was interviewed by two Victorian police, who almost died from the incident. Here is the account given by The Australian: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/national-security/it-was-him-or-my-partner-when-cop-knew-he-had-to-kill-jihadist/news-story/f16cb379b6f1d774e27aa3b54c9d97a2

     A recent article has noted that about sixty percent of US respondents in two surveys want to stop all legal and illegal immigration. The polls, which gave people the freedom to voice their real thoughts, surprisingly showed that white American college graduates are more, not less, opposed to immigration than the average American. Almost three-of-four white liberals hide their preference for zero net immigration, and they are more likely than moderates and conservatives in doing this. In fact, 71 percent of liberals support immigration restriction. That is good, but it will do nothing unless these people take action, and they are unlikely to do so, because it would threaten their jobs and creature comforts.

     Now to Australia. An article in Quadrant, July 26, 2017, E. R. Drabik, “The Great Immigration Non-Debate,” https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2017/07/great-immigration-non-debate/, points out that Australia is going in the opposite direction of much of the West, which has questioned continual mass migration, at least to some degree. Australia is accelerating its immigration like there is no tomorrow, because there probably won’t be at this rate:
