'Hero of Brexit' Lord James of Blackheath Threatened over EU Defence Union By UK Column Reporters

     Lord James of Blackheath has been threatened with the police, told to retract the comments he made in the House of Lords on EU Defence Union, and is facing demands to resign and remain silent on the issue from now on. On Monday last week, Lord James of Blackheath attended a conference held at the Royal United Services Institute entitled ‘EU Defence Union - the threat to democracy, industry and alliances’. The conference was also attended by, amongst others, NATO and Ministry of Defence advisor Professor Gwythian Prins and a number of former senior military officers. The briefing covered the consequences for the UK if the defence and security sections of Theresa May’s Brexit ‘deal’ and its associated ‘Political Declaration on the Future Relationship’ are approved. At that meeting it was agreed that Lord James would raise the issue in the House of Lords, which he did four days later. Video footage of that intervention has received wide public distribution on Twitter. We have this wonderful paper called Yellowhammer, which tells us all the dreadful things that will happen if we do go no-go. My secretary has an alternative list that I have complied called the Black Vulture, which is my list of the things that people do not know about which will happen if we do not go no deal….

No Meat, We are British (No Cars Either) By Richard Miller

     Here is the future rushing up to destroy us. Will the sheeple let it happen yet again? Maybe “sheeple” is not a good word for them, since sheep don’t eat meat, but soon, none of us will either:
  https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/eating-meat-illegal-vegans-michael-mansfield-qc-labour-conference-a9115656.html?utm_source=amerika.org

“Eating meat could become illegal due to the ecological damage it does to the planet, a top British barrister has said. Michael Mansfield QC believes the government should introduce tighter legislation to make activities which destroy the natural world illegal – and in the future this could even include banning the consumption of meat. “There are plenty of things that were once commonplace that are now illegal such as smoking inside,” said Mr Mansfield, who will present his ideas at the Labour party conference on Monday. “We know that the top 3,000 companies in the world are responsible for more than £1.5tn worth of damage to the environment with meat and dairy production high on the list. We know that because the UN has told us so. “I think when we look at the damage eating meat is doing to the planet it is not preposterous to think that one day it will become illegal,” he said. Currently 25 per cent of global emissions come from agriculture, with livestock contributing to 80 per cent of that. Industrial agriculture relies on fossil fuels to create fertilisers and machinery to harvest crops and transport animals. Farmed animals also produce half of the world’s methane emissions.

Amazing, Non-Citizen Voters, A Coming By James Reed

     What value Australian citizenship? Nothing, nothing at all, it seems:
  https://www.sbs.com.au/news/push-for-non-citizens-to-receive-right-to-vote-in-australian-elections

“A parliamentary committee reviewing the May federal election has been told more than 2.2 million people living in Australia are being denied a vote because they are not citizens. French-born graphic designer Sylvain Garcia, who has lived in Australia for eight years, has urged the electoral matters committee to overturn a law change made in 1981 that restricted the right to vote to citizens, rather than permanent residents. "Today, at 29 years old, I feel more Australian than French," he wrote in his submission. "I know many permanent residents feel the same and I can't help but wonder why this huge chunk of people living in Australia cannot be part of the decisions made for the country."

Hardly a Marvel Anymore: Against the Super Heroes By Chris Knight

     It is predictable that Marvel Film, like the rest of Hollywood would continue to go down the road of political correctness, just as has been done in the comics. This has been going on for a long time now, maybe all of the past, but it is accelerating now. Too many white characters not enough transgender characters and so on, endless virtue signalling. 
  https://vdare.com/articles/the-great-replacement-comes-to-marvel-out-with-the-normal-white-men-in-with-the-gays-and-black-bisexual-women

     But there is a backlash out there, as was seen with the crash of the Star Wars movies, as seen by China’s rejection of this material. As well, many Blacks are attacking this move trend seeing it as putting Blacks as “sloppy seconds,” rather than introduce new Black characters.

The Family that Slays Together Doesn’t Stay Together By Peter Ewer

     Yes, it happens even here in our wonderfully diverse wonderous wonderland:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7482529/Australian-brothers-guilty-plotting-blow-packed-Etihad-plane-bomb.html

“Two Sydney brothers have now been found guilty of plotting to blow up an Etihad plane with a bomb hidden in a meat grinder and to carry out a lethal poisonous gas attack. The siblings plotted with their older brother, Tarek Khayat, who was involved with Islamic State in Syria, and 'the controller', an unidentified person connected with the older brother, according to the prosecutor Lincoln Crowley QC. Khaled Khayat, 51, was found guilty in May of conspiring, between mid-January and late-July 2017, to prepare or plan a terrorist act, but the NSW Supreme Court jury failed to agree on a verdict for his brother. Mahmoud Khayat, 34, faced a retrial and another jury found him guilty of the same charge on Thursday afternoon. Their motivation was said to have included supporting violent jihad and they were accused of doing many preparatory acts during the seven-month conspiracy. The plane plot involved a bomb in a meat grinder being put into the luggage of a fourth brother, Amer Khayat, who was flying out of Sydney on an Etihad flight, Mr Crowley told the first trial. Amer Khayat has been cleared of involvement in the plot. But the plan was abandoned because the baggage was found to be overweight at the airport. Khaled Khayat then proposed that he himself would arrange to take the bomb, Mr Crowley said. 'The controller told him not to do that because he had to stay for the continuation of the work here and had to find someone else,' he said. The second plot involved poisonous gas which the older brother was going to make at his home following instructions given by the controller. When Khaled Khayat was arrested police found a piece of paper in his wallet that had Arabic words, numbers and symbols written on it. The paper was examined by a forensic chemist and Arabic interpreters, who determined that one side of the paper included the correct chemical equation for poisonous gas, while the other side had further details relating to the gas.”

Not Even the Sky is the Limit to Their Greed! By Brian Simpson

     The race is on for the mega-capitalists to eat up the rest of the universe, creating the cosmic space economy, and the empire of Star Wars:
  https://theconversation.com/india-has-it-right-nations-either-aim-for-the-moon-or-get-left-behind-in-the-space-economy-121497

“In 2018 382 objects were launched into space. By 2040 it might easily be double that, with companies like Amazon planning “constellations”, composed of thousands of satellites, to provide telecommunication services.
The satellite business is just a start. The next big prize will be technology for “in-situ resource utilisation” – using materials from space for space operations. One example is extracting water from the Moon (which could also be split to provide oxygen and hydrogen-based rocket fuel). NASA’s administrator, Jim Bridenstine, has suggested Australian agencies and companies could play a key role in this. All up, the potential gains from a slice of the space economy are huge. It is estimated the space economy could grow from about US$350 billion now to more than US$1 trillion (and as possibly as much US$2,700 billion) in 2040.”

The Devil’s Dung?? By Peter West

     As part of my “Pope watch,” I note that the Pope has taken a well-earnt break from advocating open borders, to attacking the money system. At first, I was pleased, but something does not feel right about the depth and intensity of the critique:
  https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2019/09/22/pope-francis-money-is-the-devils-dung-2/

“Pope Francis returned to his criticisms of the economy Sunday, saying that money is “dishonest wealth,” also known as “the devil’s dung.” Speaking in Saint Peter’s Square in the Vatican, the pontiff told the tens of thousands of pilgrims and visitors to beware of riches in reference to the gospel reading of the day. “The key to understanding this story lies in Jesus’ invitation at the end of the parable,” the pope said. “‘I tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.’” “This seems a bit confusing, but it is not,” he added. “‘Dishonest wealth’ is money, also called ‘the devil’s dung,’ and in general, material goods.” “Wealth can drive people to erect walls, create divisions, and discriminate,” Francis continued. “Jesus, on the contrary, invites his disciples to change course: ‘Make friends with riches,’” he said. “It is an invitation to learn how to transform goods and riches into relationships, because people are worth more than things and count more than the wealth they possess. Sunday’s speech was not the first time that Pope Francis has used colorful language in speaking about money, or even for the reference to “the devil’s dung,” a quotation from Saint Basil the Great. “It is not easy to talk about money,” Francis said in an address to the Italian Confederation of Cooperatives in 2015. “Money is the devil’s dung of the devil! When money becomes an idol, it rules over a person’s choices. And then it ruins a person and condemns him, turning him into a slave.”

Harry Potter and Markle the Sparkle, Save the Planet in Their Great African Adventure By Peter West

     Keeping up with the Pope and other trendies are our interracial Royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are flying to Africa, with even Markle’s hairdresser, to save the world from climate change:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/09/22/prince-harry-meghan-markle-flying-to-africa-with-climate-message/

“Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, make a long haul flight to Africa on Monday to spread their climate advocacy to a new audience. Baby Archie will join them on the 10-day visit along with a team of 13 assistants including a “social media officer” and a hairdresser for Markle. The Sussexes’ first tour as a family comes after the duke and duchess flew to Rome to watch Meghan’s close friend, fashion designer Misha Nonoo walk down the aisle with oil tycoon Michael Hess on Friday. Highlights of the latest trip will see the duke and duchess visit a township in Cape Town to tour a workshop supporting children and young girls, and visit another near Johannesburg where they will learn about a project tackling rising unemployment. Malawai, Botswana, and Angola are also on the itinerary. The past two months have been busy for the Royal pair, with them spotted at one stage taking four private jet flights in just 11 days. Their  seemingly constant air travel has not been without controversy. Last month a barefoot Duke of Sussex stood before an elite audience of business leaders and celebrities gathered at Google’s annual deluxe retreat in Sicily to warn immediate action is needed to avoid an approaching climate catastrophe. The Evening Standard reported Prince Harry, 34, is understood to have insisted the future of the planet is a humanitarian issue, not a political one, and the world must act to avoid disaster.”

Medical Nihilism? By Mrs Vera West

     The book Medical Nihilism (Oxford University Press, 2018) by philosopher of medicine, Jacob Stegenga, is a bit beyond my capacity to review, even to adequately summarise. This highly technical book develops a scientific and mathematical statistical Bayesian critique of modern medicine’s claims to scientificity, attacking the empirical studies, such as metanalyses. While medicine has no problems with simple things, like broken legs, the real issues today are dealing with complex problems, such a depression, heart disease, and the diseases of civilisation, by drugs and chemicals. This is where the numerous difficulties arise, since all drugs have side effects, some that could be worse that the condition treated. Even simple NSAIDS, like ibuprofen, taken over even short periods can raise the risk of heart attacks:
  https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/heightened-risk-of-heart-attacks-found-with-common-painkillers-in-routine-use/

“People who use commonly prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat pain and inflammation could be raising their risk of having a heart attack, as early as in the first week of use and especially within the first month of taking high doses of such medication, suggests a study in The BMJ this week. Previous studies suggested that both traditional and COX 2 selective NSAIDs could increase the risk of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), but the timing of the risk, the effect of dose, treatment duration, and the comparative risks between NSAIDs were poorly understood. An international team of researchers led by Michèle Bally of the University of Montreal Hospital Research Center (CRCHUM), then an epidemiology doctoral student at McGill University in Canada, set out to characterise the risks of heart attack associated with use of oral NSAIDs under real life practice circumstances. For their study, the researchers carried out a systematic review and a meta-analysis of relevant studies from various healthcare databases including those from Canada, Finland and the United Kingdom.

Here Comes Another Mining Boom … and the Need to Take in a Billion Migrants Who Will Mine with Picks and Shovels! By James Reed

     I remember well when the mining boom was on some time back, and the government used this as an excuse to engage in basically open borders legal migration, as part of its program to dispossess the dispossessed majority, now minority. Well, that boom could be back:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7471843/More-20-000-mining-jobs-set-spring-Australia-five-years.html?ico=pushly-notifcation-small

“More than 20,000 mining jobs will be available over the next five years as $40billion worth of infrastructure projects in Australia's are given the go ahead. A new report released on Tuesday by the Australian Resources and Energy Group [AMMA] announced thousands of jobs as electricians, electricians and geologists. The 'boom' of mining jobs could see tens and thousands of Australians raking in big bucks, with some occupations paying six-figure salaries. 'Australia's mining industry is facing new workforce demand at levels not seen since the previous investment and construction boom,' AMMA Chief Executive, Steve Knott AM, said. A forecast of available jobs includes 8,660 mining plant operators and 2,847 heavy diesel fitters. An estimated 4,180 engineers, technicians, geologists and other related roles are needed as well as 4,110 supervisors, administration and management jobs. At least 970 other trades such as electricians, mechanics and maintenance jobs are also forecasted.”

Proof of an Epstein Cover-Up By Chris Knight

     What do they have to hide? Plenty! Evidence of an Epstein cover up, Epstein being the paedophilic sex offender who supplied children (as young as 12 years) to the 1 percenters to sexually abuse. Now it seems, all prison documents dealing with Epstein’s death have been withheld:
  https://sharylattkisson.com/2019/09/all-prison-documents-about-jeffrey-epstein-withheld/

“My public information request about his death— has been formally denied. Shortly after Epstein died in August, I filed a Freedom of Information request for public documents about his injuries and medical care for both the day he died and earlier, in July, when he reportedly attempted suicide. Member of the public and press are entitled to review documents and communications generated and collected by federal agencies and officials because– we own them. However, federal agencies often delay, obstruct and resist the release of such documents. Guidance from FOI court cases and the executive branch indicates that federal agencies are supposed to make every effort to release as much information as possible– and at least partial information if exemptions are at play. In the case of the Epstein documents I requested, the federal Bureau of Prisons responded by stating that it is withholding all of the documents entirely. The Bureau cites six exemptions, including that releasing the information “could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of an(y) individual.” One of the exceptions cited by the Bureau of Prisons in withholding all information related to Jeffrey Epstein. The Bureau of Prisons invited me to keep refiling in the future to see if the status changes. The FBI is said to be investigating how jail authorities missed Epstein committing the act of suicide in their custody while awaiting trial on new sex trafficking charges.”

Canberra Does Know the Difference between Chinese Ownership and Investment By James Reed

“Sky News host Alan Jones says Canberra “doesn’t know the difference” between Chinese ownership and investment. The broadcaster said China owned 29 per cent of Australian foreign-owned farmland and “a lot of this happened while Morrison was treasurer”. “We love investment because our capital base is not big enough, but that's different from ownership," he said. "And when Chinese interests own our water, our coal, our dairy farms, our beef farms … we're entitled to ask where does this end and what's the agenda."

Systematic Academic Malpractice By James Reed

     I like this guy. Nothing like this could exist in Australia, as mad socialist cubs would resort to violence to shut it down. Free speech does not live here in Australia, a land established just to make a few more pounds and dollars for the money power, not as a home for a people for as long as humanity lasts:
  https://www.thecollegefix.com/this-conservative-professor-just-rolled-out-a-new-class-that-will-blow-liberals-minds/
  https://www.thecollegefix.com/conservative-professor-granted-promotion-after-seven-year-battle/

““What does the evidence say about the claims of the Black Lives Matter movement?” “Is the criminal justice system really systematically racist?” “Is there really a rape epidemic on our college campuses?” “What was that you were saying about white privilege?” “What was that you were saying about patriarchal oppression?” These are some of the study prompts for a new class to be offered at the University of North Carolina Wilmington called “Issues in Criminal Justice.” Were these topics taught by a left-leaning scholar, the classroom conversations and readings might have gone one way. But the class is the brainchild of one of the most well-known and outspoken Christian conservative scholars in the nation — criminology Professor Mike Adams — and he promises that students will finally get a chance to hear how those on the right would answer these questions, and more. He calls the class “a reasoned response to systematic academic malpractice.” “Please note that whereas political leftists author virtually all of the readings in your other courses, conservatives and libertarians author most of the readings in this course,” the syllabus states. “This is done so that you will be exposed to beliefs that contradict those of the vast majority of your professors. Often, these dissenting views are presented only as caricatures. In this class, you will hear from the proponents of such views directly.”

The Great Divorce By Chris Knight

     This is a good article about the coming civil war in America, inevitable because of what I call, “the Great Divorce,” that liberal and conservatives have a totally mutually incommensurable paradigms, and that social conflict cannot be avoided:
  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/09/no_matter_who_wins_in_2020_there_will_be_blood.html#ixzz5zbmuVKqd

“The machinations of an illiberal left, on display in its ever-increasing violence accompanied by the ululations of a propagandist media in contravention of an imaginary “white supremacist” right, have riven the nation into diametrically opposed camps. The right will never accept socialism, while the left will accept nothing less.

The Raping of Central American Women By Charles Taylor

     At the moment the social justice warriors are getting their frilly knickers, especially those of the soft boys, in a knot because of the politically incorrect Rambo Last Blood movie, which has a Mexican cartel gang as villains. The film even dares address the issue of sex slavery. This is too close to reality for the liberal’s corrupt minds:
  https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2019/09/18/80-percent-of-central-american-women-girls-raped-crossing-into-u-s/

“For all the political Left’s shrieks about a so-called “War on women” and a systemic “rape culture” pervasive throughout American society, the reality that some 8 in 10 women and girls are sexually assaulted during the dangerous trek from Mexico and South America to the U.S. southern border is met mostly with silence. The media and Democrats’ refusal to acknowledge this wanton brutality is why I wrote my new book 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know, in which I highlight a seldom reported investigation into sexual assault of migrants by Splinter News, which is owned by Univision — an anti-Trump and anti-wall outfit. The report revealed the stunning truth that 80 percent of Central American women and girls are raped during their journey, primarily while traveling through Mexico or when they cross the U.S. border.”

Ha! Ha! The Great International Student Bust Smashing the Universities! By James Reed

     The evil, evil, more evil Australian universities may soon be facing showtime, because they have put all of their eggs in the one basket hoping that the international student market, read
“China,” will be a boom forever like the mining boom of a while back. The government rubs its dark claws together glad to be getting backdoor migrants. But, maybe not forever:
  https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2019/09/brace-for-the-chinese-international-student-bust/

“Chinese international students are by far the biggest contributor to Australia’s education export industry. As at June 2019, there were 204,000 Chinese students enrolled in Australian educational institutions, comprising 29% of total international student enrolments. The number of Chinese international students studying in Australia is also roughly double second placed India (104,000) and quadruple Nepal (52,000), as illustrated in the next chart: Late last month, the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) sounded the alarm on this dependence, warning that a sharp pullback in Chinese student numbers could severely damage the finances of Australia’s tertiary institutions: International comparisons reveal the excessiveness of this China exposure. All seven [major universities] have higher proportions of international and Chinese students than any university in the entire United States. Indeed, all seven appear to be more dependent on feepaying Chinese students than just about any other universities in the English-speaking world.

What the Environmentalists Have in Store for us By James Reed

     We need to understand that it is not just the race/immigration issue operating here for our destruction by the elites, but everything, your total standard of living, because the bs pushed now is that the climate challenge is so great that only bacteria are going to survive:

A Christian Cult in the Outback By Michael Ferguson

     On this one, I must agree with the Aboriginalists, that no part of a fair and decent Christianity should destroy indigenous heritage. But, note the race of the people in this story. Not white:
  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-20/the-christian-converts-who-are-setting-fire-to-sacred-aboriginal/11527402

“Christian missionaries are causing a fresh wave of upset in outback Australia, promising to bring people back from the dead, and promoting the idea traditional Aboriginal culture is a type of devil worship.
Key points:
•    Christian converts in Wangkatjungka burned sacred objects
•    A preacher who has lived in the community says Aboriginal traditions are "all from the devil"
•    Senator Pat Dodson describes some preachers as a "type of virus"
An investigation by Background Briefing has uncovered dramatic scenes in the Kimberley region, where Aboriginal followers of a Tongan-born preacher have set fire to artefacts considered sacred by many local elders, and dismantled and burned a spiritual law ground. The approach of some recently arrived evangelists has been slammed by some Aboriginal leaders, including Labor senator Pat Dodson. "They are a type of virus that has really got no credibility," he said. "If they really understood the gospel then the gospel is about liberation. "It's about an accommodation of the diversity and differences that we have in our belief systems." He believes the destruction of traditional culture is "an act of bastardry". "It's about the lowest act you could perform in trying to indicate to a fellow human being that you have total disdain for anything they represent.””

Epstein, Sex and Drugs By Mrs Vera West

     I thought that news would dry up about the Epstein paedophilic sex ring for the elites, but there was news about an important Australian’s daughter visiting Epstein’s lair, and now news about the drugging of the girls:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/health/jeffrey-epstein-paid-doctors-drug-sex-slaves-report
  https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article235247637.html

“For two decades, Jeffrey Epstein built a sex trafficking enterprise that reached across state borders and spanned the globe. Using an almost bottomless quarry of wealth and connections, he not only employed recruiters around the world, but enlisted the help of an array of seemingly legitimate people — from hairdressers to psychiatrists to immigration lawyers and dentists. Even doctors who prescribed his victims birth control and screened them for sexually transmitted diseases. While many of his survivors were underage, there were countless others who were 18 to 23, a group of women who have been reluctant to come forward because, despite the ordeal they went through, they are ashamed and believe that the public doesn’t look at them as victims at all. But a closer look at Epstein’s sex trafficking operation sheds new light on how the multimillionaire and his accomplices perfected a process to sexually exploit and abuse young women that was so organized — and so apparently acceptable to many of those around Epstein — that his victims, even those above the age of consent, came to believe that it was almost normal.
