There are very few academic philosophers who have opposed political correctness and the agendas of the Left. Philosophy, unlike sociology is not an over-the-top Left wing discipline, but it is not one to support Traditionalist values, at least in the Anglo-sphere. France is a little different.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), who was at one time a socialist, and always a liberal, was at least freethinking enough to write the little essay “The Superior Virtue of the Oppressed,” in Unpopular Essays, (Unwin, 1950), pp. 69-75, which mildly attacked one of the early doctrines of the pc cult, namely that minorities are in some way morally superior. Not so, Russell showed easily enough, since there is zero evidence for this thesis. He concluded:  “sooner or later the oppressed class will argue that its superior virtue is a reason in favour of its having power, and the oppressors will find their own weapons turned against them.” (p. 74)

    Voltaire François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), was a leading French Enlightenment thinker, who was infamous in his day for his attacks upon the Catholic church, and for advocating free thought and free speech. If a law such as section 18 C had existed in his day, he would have been prosecuted. There is considerable debate about this, but Voltaire by today’s standards, and by the standards of section 18 C would be regarded as an anti-Semite: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/30/books/l-voltaire-and-the-jews-590990.html; D. Prager and J. Telushkin, Why the Jews? The Reason for Antisemitism, (Simona nd Schuster, 1983), pp. 128-129; L. Poliakov, The History of Anti-Semitism from Voltaire to Wagner, (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1975), pp. 88-89. These authors quote quite shocking passages from Voltaire that would be in violation of section 18 C, even if  this section was reasonably constructed.

    Hence, Voltaire is a controversial figure, to say the least, but I agree that he was a keen free speech advocate. However, he was a destroyer of almost everything and he would be attacking the Australian establishment relentlessly – from a prison cell – if he was alive in Australia today.

    Back in the days when people seriously regarded Trump as an opponent of globalism and open borders, rather than being just another neo-conman stooge,  Salon writer Anis Shivani wrote a piece, “Everyone’s Wrong on Immigration: Open Borders are the Only Way to Defeat Trump and Build a Better World.” : http://www.salon.com/2017/03/15/everyones-wrong-on-immigration-open-borders-are-the-only-way-to-defeat-trump-and-build-a-better-world/. He quotes studies showing that world economic output would double if people could freely move wherever they wanted, which means, to the West from the Third World in their billions. Nations are not like homes he says, but are abstractions, only as good as the freedom within it.

    This sort of argument is advanced purely for the West to take migrants. India, China and Japan are exempt from taking in the tens of millions of poor Africans, or the billions of them in the future. To suppose that this would increase economic output is just economic theology, because it is more likely to lead to the collapse of the West rather than any economic revival. Let India and China take in proportionately more migrants than the West, and then maybe we should think about it.

To The Australian
     It may be true (‘Indigenous leaders rail at “beads and trinkets”’, 8/5) that, because there was ‘no consent’ by the Kaurareg people to Captain Cook’s claiming British sovereignty over eastern Australia in 1770, a wrong was committed at that time, but it is not an ‘enduring wrong’ and indigenous groups are foolish to see it as a ‘grievance which Australia must now make right.’ Owing to the lack of effective resistance nearly 250 years ago and also to the passage of time the nation of Australia possesses full de iure right to its current territory.

     Any ‘nationwide resistance campaign against minimalist change’ will not be welcomed by most Australians; nor will any tampering with our Constitution, something which will be seen indeed as ‘substantive change’ by most of us.
     Finally, it is inconsistent - if not hypocritical - for a particular ethnic group to demand special treatment while rejecting any discrimination of an ethnic kind.

I recently came upon a copy of Sir Edward “Weary” Dunlop’s “War Diaries” published forty years after WWII. Sir Edward was one of Australia’s great heroes. In the foreword British officer, Colonel Sir Laurens van der Post wrote of his brief experiences with the American and Australian soldiers of war, along with the British, in the early days of the Japanese internment and he described prison life as “the war within the War”.

For the first three months and under the inspired leadership of (then) Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Dunlop, an all out effort was made to not only invest the resources available to them for “the physical well being” of the men, and to unite them as of the British-Commonwealth, but a “vast educational system was set up” to cater for their mental and spiritual well being. To aid in their “physical survival and spiritual sanity”, the officers set up schools, classes and lectures, even a microcosm of a *Commonwealth parliament in prison.

This article stemmed from reading a paper written by an Indian chap on a proposal for a National Dividend for India.  An excellent paper, it has just one small historical error:  from his readings, the chap believed that A.R. Orage coined the term ‘social credit’ which was published in an edition of 'The New Age'. Historically, this was not so, and historical accuracy is important, so this error will be corrected.

The Syrian gas attack has fast become another 9/11, with increasingly more establishment figures calling out Trump over the attack, which they believe is a false flag.
The latest scientist to criticise the gas attacks is Theodore Postol, a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/mit-expert-claims-latest-chemical-weapons-attack-syria-was-staged-1617267. He has issued three reports attempting to refute the White House’s claim that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad perpetrated the attack on 4 April.

He concluded that the US government’s report does not provide any “concrete” evidence that Assad was responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was perpetrated by players on the ground.
Postol said: “I have reviewed the [White House’s] document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6am to 7am on 4 April, 2017.

North Korea has threatened Australia with a nuclear attack because the leaders of this fine nation have been supporting the USA and telling big fat lies about the DPRK: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/world/north-korea-threatens-australia-with-nuclear-strike-over-us-allegiance/news-story/2cf2f736bf4e530e59f99e8d04d913b3?utm_source=The%20Advertiser&utm_mediam=email&utm_campaign=editorial.

What Kim what’s-his-name needs to understand is that since the Keating era, and probably going back to Arthur Calwell, Australia has been a part of Asia, and now is a part of China. Which part you may ask? Well, Paul Keating told us the answer to that one: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/keatings-rear-view-of-the-lucky-country-causes-storm-careless-remarks-have-damaged-the-pms-1425378.html; http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/rudd-sees-nation-at-bottom-end-too-20120413-1wyrr.html. On this view, and I am not supporting it, only abusing it, Australia would not even be worth a nuclear weapon.

“Oral contraceptive use in women changes preferences for male facial masculinity and is associated with partner facial masculinity,”
Little AC, Burriss RP, Petrie M, Jones BC, Roberts SC, just so you know that I am not making this stuff up:

“Millions of women use hormonal contraception and it has been suggested that such use may alter mate preferences. To examine the impact of oral contraceptive (pill) use on preferences, we tested for within-subject changes in preferences for masculine faces in women initiating pill use. Between two sessions, initiation of pill use significantly decreased women’s preferences for male facial masculinity but did not influence preferences for same-sex faces. To test whether altered preference during pill use influences actual partner choice, we examined facial characteristics in 170 age-matched male partners of women who reported having either been using or not using the pill when the partnership was formed. Both facial measurements and perceptual judgements demonstrated that partners of women who used the pill during mate choice have less masculine faces than partners of women who did not use hormonal contraception at this time. Our data (A) provide the first experimental evidence that initiation of pill use in women causes changes in facial preferences and (B) documents downstream effects of these changes on real-life partner selection. Given that hormonal contraceptive use is widespread, effects of pill use on the processes of partner formation have important implications for relationship stability and may have other biologically relevant consequences.”

Sweden is white pathology at its viral peak, peak disease. Following the Islamic State-linked terrorist attack earlier this month in Stockholm, one opinion poll found that more people feel that the country is heading in the “right direction,” and they don’t mean “Right” with a capital “R.” Women are the main one’s feeling “positive.”

Looks like we have to reconsider the antifa girl fiasco, where it turns out that the sweet little dreadlocked porno model, was using a bottle as a weapon: http://theralphretort.com/nathan-damigo-did-nothing-wrong-antifa-thug-girl-was-using-glass-bottles-as-weapons-before-punch-4017017/.

Since the globalists allowed the communist ANC to take over South Africa over 70,000 whites have been murdered, and hundreds of thousands more have been raped and/or tortured and/or robbed. Even more blacks have been dealt the same terrible treatment at the hands of the lawless, who are often backed by the “law” (ANC establishment): http://americanfreepress.net/70000-whites-murdered-in-modern-south-africa-obamas-african-legacy/; http://www.rense.com/general96/70000whites.htm;

Let’s quote from the above news.com article which is mainstream, and has to have a warning about content pasted on the article:

Dear Sir, I listened to ABC radio this morning and heard your very good presentation to the crowd. There was one point which may have been open to interpretation, where I felt uneasy. This was in reference to “nationalism”.
I gathered you believe nationalism to be not a desirable aim or policy. If I recall, you also mentioned those who pursue such aims are narrow-minded, or words to that effect.
My concept of the tremendous bravery and sacrifices of Australian soldiers was all about nationalism. They gave their all for our freedom, rights and culture to be protected for future generations.

Today, the emphasis is on globalisation or internationalism which is contrary to nationalism. Furthermore it has delivered trade wars, legal nightmares as we are required to comply with global (U. N.) Conventions. Our culture is threatened by immigrants whose aim is to destroy our Christian heritage and replace it with a system from which (strangely) they fled.
I support nationalism.

The idea of the “red pill” comes from The Matrix movie, and involves the metaphor of taking a pill, or choosing a path that confronts reality rather than illusion.    
It is interesting to observe that the men’s right film, The Red Pill, which ironically was directed by a feminist, has been banned from university campuses across Australia, because it is critical of feminist dogma. (The Australian, April, 19, 2017, p. 3)

Feminists have said, by their rejection of allowing screening of the film, that men have no issues to raise, and that there can be no criticism what so ever of feminism. What can I say? I don’t swear, being a lady, but it is just bs!

“In fact, a main piece of evidence that is cited in the document point to an attack that was executed by individuals on the ground, not from an aircraft, on the morning of 4 April.

Dark storm clouds are gathering over Europe, which is a bitter taste of the fate of the West. Open migration policies of the globalists have now led to the German authorities admitting that thousands of Afghan refugees who flooded into Germany were former Taliban militants: https://www.rt.com/news/385719-germany-refugees-afghanistan-taliban/. But, weren’t we told that the refugees were defenceless women and children like the drowned boy? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-turkey-idUSKCN0R20IJ20150902\. At present criminal investigations have been launched in 70 cases.

Following the collapse of the twin towers, it did not take long for a truth about 9/11 movement to begin its probe of the event. For the Syrian gas attack, the probe stared even earlier, with even mainstream establishment figures raising doubts about the attacks being authentic because they made no sense for President al-Assad to commit suicide by Trump at the exact moment when the US was going to leave him be and move on.

Deep State forces behind the neo-cons wanted his removal, so there was a motive for staging a false flag attack. But, was the attack really false? Apart from the gas attack making no sense, and opposing claims that the chemical weapons were held by rebels, what positive refuting evidence is there? This is like the physical evidence used to show that 9/11 was a false flag.
Michael Savage, having a PhD in epidemiology, has said that the alleged gas attack could not have been sarin as Trump said it was, because first responders attended without gloves or protective gear, and if this had been a sarin attack, they would have quickly died: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-08/michael-savage-turns-trump-says-syrian-gas-attack-was-false-flag-operation.

Germany like France is well on the way to becoming a stronghold of Islam, and then, with demographic change, an Islamic state. In France, for example, 30 percent of young people under the age of 20 years are Muslims, and the ratio in Paris and Marseille has skyrocketed to 45 percent, and rising. Mosques are fast replacing churches and this pattern is seen right across Europe: https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10001/france-islam; https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9791/france-islamization.

In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that Germans have not grasped how Muslim immigration has transformed Germany and will continue to do so, demographically transforming Germany into what others have said will be an Islamic state: https://en.europenews.dk/Germany-Will-Become-Islamic-State-Says-Chancellor-Merkel-78673.html.

At long last! I have finally been allowed to surf the net, using protection, and I am almost like the other cool kids who write hard-hitting journalism for this site, give or take, brain damage.
 Here, for your reading pleasure, is a quick round-up, or down,  of some of the absurdities of the week in the news, which can be briefly mentioned, almost in a list fashion, but which do not require much comment, since they wear their absurdity on their face. I, too, wear my absurdity on my face. And, why does Microsoft Word keep saying that I have no knowledge of sentence structure and grammar, when it is clear to even blind Freddy, especially him, that I am a master of onomatopoeia and other literal literary effects? What is a “passive voice” and why exactly should we care?

The real president of the United States seems to be Jared Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter. He is backed by George Soros: http://jewishbusinessnews.com/2017/01/31/george-soros-backed-jared-kushner-venture-cadre-250-million/, so the case can be made that George Soros is the real president of the United States. So why waste time, money, and hope on elections? Just pull back the curtain and let’s all see the dictatorship for what it is. Go play more golf, Don.

The Kushner family has long been known to be a major force in the East Coast Mob.

Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has emerged as a significant influence within the policy-making apparatus of the White House. After a rather public imbroglio with Trump’s strategic policy adviser Stephen Bannon over the U.S. cruise missile attack on the Shayrat airbase in Syria, Kushner is «in», as they often say in Washington, and Bannon is «out». In any case, the anti-globalist faction, which is led by Bannon, has received verbal «thumbs down» on several fronts from Trump.
