This is the Chinese Year of the pig – appropriately it is the year we must remove the snouts of many pigs from the troughs kept full by tax payers and electricity users.

 An election year is the best time to put maximum pressure on all politicians. Soon we will have gone so far backwards in management of electricity, essential infrastructure, water, vegetation, bushfires, education and the climate war on hydro-carbons that recovery will be very difficult. Things are bad now but if the Limp-LNP’s or the ALP/Greens again get control of energy policy, what is now bad will get much worse. We are faced with either a confused calamity or a dreadful disaster.

     I have said all of this before, but here is a spin on this theme by Jeff Sanders, blogging at P J Media.com, which is the most concise summary I have come across in, well, the last 30 minutes:
  https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/five-reasons-why-western-civilization-is-good/

“Some cultures are superior to others. Would you rather live in a civilization that takes care of widows or burns them to death? Would you rather live in a culture that believes women are equal to men, or in a society that believes females are intrinsically inferior and can be bought, sold, and have horrible procedures inflicted on them (female genital mutilation)? Some cultures have a framework of just laws with the presumption of innocence for the accused and the basic right to a trial by a jury of peers. Other cultures like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Iran have barbaric judicial systems and often just make up the rules as they go along, in order to further the agenda of the regime.

     Gasp! Now even our organs are not safe!
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6475215/Australians-organs-automatically-harvested-donation-die.html

“Australians will automatically have their organs donated after they die under a new proposal. The policy, which is being considered by MPs, assumes everyone is an organ donor unless they've filled out official documents to opt-out. The proposed changes would help to close in on the illegal trade of organ donation, the Sunday Telegraph reported. Australians who receive an illegal transplant overseas would be criminalised when they return to Australia, as recommended by federal MPs proposing changes to the laws. Doctors would also be required to report suspicions their patient accessed an illegal donation overseas. In 2016, the Sunday Telegraph reported almost 100 Australians travelled overseas to acquire an organ transplant on the black market. In some instances they paid up to $250,000 for a kidney transplant. The illegal trade of organ transplants is driven by a shortage of donations. A parliamentary inquiry wants Australia to consider implementing the opt-out system - in a bid to prevent illegal overseas trade.”

     Slowly, facts about the true cost of the European White replacement immigration program are coming to light:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/01/27/unpublished-swedish-report-reveals-migrant-costs-far-higher-than-govt-claims/

“A leaked unpublished document from Sweden’s Justice Ministry has revealed that the costs of mass migration are far higher than figures currently expressed by the government. The document comes after the new coalition government agreed to relax the rules for chain migration, or “family reunification”, which will likely lead to a larger influx of migrants than previously estimated. Following the announcement of the policy, the Swedish Migration Board sent the report to the Justice Ministry which calculated the added costs in the millions. Despite the reports, Swedish Social Democrat Justice Minister Morgan Johansson has referred to prior, much less costly, figures throughout the week, Expressen reports. The previous report, compiled in Septemeber of last year, estimated that chain migration would cost Swedish taxpayers  910 million Swedish kronor (£76.15 million) from 2019 to 2021. The new estimate sees that number increase to 1.365 billion Swedish kronor (£114.2 million) over the same period.”

     Here is what the real agenda of the attack on Trump’s wall entails. The Left, progressives and Democrats, have come out in the open, swinging, and have shown that they want nothing short of open borders, and the complete replacement of White Americans, and that anything less is “racist.”
  https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/07/26/asylum-rules-would-allow-migrating-foreign-populations-to-fill-half-of-midwest/

“New asylum rules approved by the GOP majority and Democrat minority House Appropriations Committee would give the right to migrate to the United States to a foreign population at least half the size of the American Midwest. Two asylum rules pushed by Rep. David Price (D-NC) as well as Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS) and approved by the GOP-majority House Appropriations Committee would allow foreign nationals seeking refuge in the U.S. to migrate based on claims that they are fleeing domestic abuse or gang violence. The asylum standards would be a direct rebuke of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ efforts to strengthen the country’s lax asylum system. He made clear in a memo that claiming to be fleeing domestic abuse or gang violence are not legitimate claims for asylum in the U.S.’

     Here are some clearly argued comments, that refute the idea that globalists are freedom lovers, but shows  instead that they are fascists, not the fake kind of “fascists” that the Left always identifies, but the real thing, live and wriggling:

“There is a silent marriage between big government and big business. It's called fascism, or was in Italy. We have much the same thing in America. Big business has and will promote every ideology and philosophy known to man to disguise its madness for profits and government favors. All governments are fronts for monopoly capitalism (fascism). America is not a capitalist system by any stretch. This is obvious to any sober person. Government benefits big business. Big business benefits government. There's a revolving door between top brass in the multinational corporations and the halls of power in the District of Criminals. They run and populate the president's cabinet offices and the alphabet soup regulatory agencies. (For evidence, go to the membership roster of the Council on Foreign Relations and see how many names you recognize from government, and study the bios of those you don't.) In return, government policy is crafted and designed to enrich and favor big business.”

     Iconic mega-feminist Hillary Clinton, who still wants to be president when Trump is arrested and locked in a cage with starving rats, wants New York State to legalise abortions up until birth:
  https://www.lifenews.com/2019/01/07/hillary-clinton-wants-new-york-state-to-legalize-abortions-up-to-birth-theres-no-time-to-wait/?fbclid=IwAR05J_OqaXVEhkdtqMzZoNqOCnZjz08U-fKM2p_Fxantc_d8oqC0T3doxVM

“On Sunday, she announced plans to help New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo push a radical pro-abortion bill in his state. “I’ll be joining Gov. Cuomo as he lays out his plan to codify Roe v. Wade and pass the Reproductive Health Act,” Clinton wrote on Twitter. “There’s no time to wait.” Cuomo made no secret of his plans to ram the pro-abortion bill through the state legislature. He said he wants to see it pass within 30 days. Pro-abortion lawmakers in New York have been trying to pass the radical pro-abortion Reproductive Health Act for years. Already one of the most pro-abortion states in America, New York would be made even more pro-abortion if the legislation passes. The bill would allow abortions on viable, late-term unborn babies for any “health” reason and would keep abortion on demand legal in the state if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. The Times Union reports the bill would end a decades-old law that would criminalize late-term abortions if Roe is overturned and replace it with new language allowing abortion on demand. State Sen. Liz Krueger, D-Manhattan, is the sponsor. “It would proclaim abortion as a fundamental right and impose an extreme abortion agenda on all New Yorkers,” according to New York State Right to Life.”

     Each week the anti-West commo Pope does ever more to excel in anti-Western sentiment, hoping like a good Pope to get a pat on his head from the globalist elites. Thus, he has headed down south to promote  mass immigrations holidays to America:

“Pope Francis decried the fear of migrants Thursday during his visit to Panama, seemingly advocating for the migrant caravans that flooded the southern U.S. border. Francis made the comments during his visit to preside over World Youth Day in Panama amid the fomenting of more migrant caravans in Central America. The pontiff urged church leaders to advocate for hospitality and acceptance of migrants in the countries to which they try to gain entrance, which in past months have been Mexico and the U.S. “The Church, by virtue of her universality, can provide the fraternal hospitality and acceptance that can enable the communities of origin and of destination to dialogue and to help overcome fears and suspicions,” Francis said, according to The Wall Street Journal. Francis also told reporters during his flight to Panama that fear over migrants was “making us crazy.”

     Here is a glimpse of the globalist mind in action, already preparing to bury the West under migrants. Only migrants matter in their agenda. Of course, migrants are just pawns in the game;

“Starbucks investor Howard Schultz wants to get elected president and to amnesty at least 11 million illegal migrants in the United States. But his justification for the amnesty includes no rules or principles that would prevent his huge amnesty from expanding into an open-borders policy which would benefit investors at the expense of white-collar and blue-collar Americans, said Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigraiton Studies. Schultz told 60 Minutes:

     If Sweden could somehow bottle its culture of rape, making it into a less harmful product, and export it, it would be a major trading item.
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/01/18/rape-reports-sweden-up-33-per-cent-last-decade/

“The number of reported rape cases has increased by 33 percent over the last ten years, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå), with cases up eight percent on the last year alone. Brå released preliminary statistics for 2018 this week that showed not only that the number of rape reports increased by eight percent on the last year, but that reports of rape against children had increased even more, by 13 percent, Expressen reports. Stina Söderman, a researcher and report author at Brå, commented on the preliminary findings, saying: “We have seen a clear increase in reported rape in recent years.” According to the agency, 7,840 rapes were reported last year in Sweden, an increase of 614 compared to 2017, and rape reports against children aged 0-17 totalled 3,420. Only in cases of rapes against adult men did the statistics see a decrease compared to the previous year. Over the last decade, the total increase in rape reports has been 33 percent, or 44 percent in the cases of rape against adult women, although some of the increases have been attributed to changes in Swedish law.”

     The establishment, “racist”? Yes, believe it, for by Occam’s razor, choose the simplest hypothesis that explains all of the data, this one comes out as the most plausible. After all, we have the example of the Asian journalist, Sarah Jeong, who said over-the-top racist things about Whites, yet did not lose her job at The New York Times and there are daily examples like this:
  https://www.claremont.org/crb/article/racism-revised/

“The intellectual dishonesty of the social justice Left’s “racism” manifests itself in other ways. The reconceptualization doesn’t mean that the old, widely understood sense of the word is simply banished. Rather, it lingers, allowing social justice activists to pretend that they are merely opposed to bigotry and prejudice, like all people of good will, rather than in the vanguard of a movement to effect a radical transformation, one likely to draw fierce opposition if advocated forthrightly. “The social justice left’s entire modus operandi,” writes Claire Lehmann of the online journal Quillette, “is to implement extreme positions using the language of moderate positions.”

“Domain registrars promised that I could “own” my little corner of the web with a domain name, and now my domains can be seized by a faceless bureaucracy. Google told me to create the best content I could to be ranked highly in their search engine, but then they manipulated their algorithms to lift dull corporate propaganda above my own. Twitter promised that I could share any thought that came to mind, and after I spent years doing so, they changed their mind and will now ban me if I make fun of an obese feminist. YouTube said I could upload engaging videos that viewers love, and even make money doing so, but then they demonetized most of my videos, put others in “limited state,” and banned me from live streaming for three months … Disqus offered me a service to allow the community at Return Of Kings to discuss what was on their mind, but they banned the site because they didn’t want us to discuss certain things. Amazon said I could publish books on their platform and even make a living as a writer, but then they banned the paperbook and ebook editions of nine of my books with no explanation why. Paypal said it would be easy to add payment processing to my site, and then later showed how easy it is to ban me for political reasons. …

     Does anyone in Britain remember the rule of law? In that once green land, now showered red, millions have been raped, but only 222 convicted. Now what do you think is going on here, for even in war zones, those statistics of despair would be substantial.

“Radical feminists are now being banned by Twitter not because they hate men, which is perfectly OK as far as Twitter is concerned, but because they object to “transwomen.” What is a “transwoman?” As far as I can understand, a “transwoman” is a male with a penis who declares himself to be a women and demands his right to use women’s toilette facilities anong with the women who are using them. The feminist, Meghan Murphy, twittered a statement and a question:

     France is rapidly falling apart, and while conservatives, who love order and safety, may lament, in the end, this is how things must go, for natural law can only be violated for brief intervals, and even that so-called “violation” is an illusion.

“Two Venezuelan soldiers loyal to self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaidó have pleaded with the Trump administration for arms, in a bid to “realize Venezuelan freedom.” What could go wrong? The former soldiers, living outside Venezuela, told CNN that hundreds of willing defectors inside the country had been in contact with them, asking the US for weapons and support for a planned revolt. “As Venezuelan soldiers, we are making a request to the US to support us, in logistical terms, with communication, with weapons, so we can realize Venezuelan freedom,” Guillen Martinez told CNN. Martinez’ fellow soldier Hidalgo Azuaje added that the pair are also requesting support from Venezuela’s right-wing neighbors: “Brazil, Colombia, Peru, all brother countries, that are against this dictatorship.”

     Beauty and brains, Anne Coulter has penned a great piece about just who benefits from mass immigration. Can you guess who?
  https://vdare.com/articles/ann-coulter-who-benefits-from-mass-immigration-not-you

“Assiduous readers of my columns know that I have frequently made the point that America's immigration policies benefit only three groups of people: 1) rich Americans with a lot of employees, 2) the immigrants themselves, and 3) their grandmothers back in Chiapas. The money illegal immigrants send out of the country doesn't come from their low wages. It comes from the taxpayers, who are required to subsidize immigrants so that investment bankers can have cheap nannies. Yes, it is a problem that they couldn't possibly live on what I pay them, but that's where YOU come in, taxpayers! When the rich merely have to pay Social Security taxes on their nannies, they quickly say, Oh, never mind, as we saw in the 1990s, when Bill Clinton's first two female attorney general nominees had to withdraw because of the illegal aliens raising their kids, and we finally ended up with Janet Reno. Zoe Baird, the first nominee caught up in Nannygate, promptly fired her illegal alien nanny and chauffeur, Lillian and Victor Corderos, who were deported. That's how much the rich love Latino immigrants! As Baird's spokeswoman, Jamie Gorelick, said at the time: "I think it truly pains them that Lillian has had to pay this price. ... They have true affection for her."

     The yellow vest protests in France continue, even though the media is trying to stave them of oxygen. However, healthy organic movements do not need the mainstream media, and in fact thrive without it. That said, there is a good spin-off from all of this, even if it ultimately burns out:

“Marine Le Pen’s National Rally has overtaken the centrist party of Emmanuel Macron, the French president, for the first time, according to an opinion poll released Sunday, in a further sign of the rise of the far-Right in Europe. The Ifop poll measured voting intentions for European Parliament elections next May, seen as a decisive battle between pro-EU liberals and Eurosceptic populists that could be pivotal in shaping the future of the European Union after Brexit. Liberals championed by Mr Macron are attempting to fend off a rising anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic wave led by Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, and Matteo Salvini, Italy’s influential deputy prime minister. The poll showed Ms Le Pen’s party, formerly known as the Front National, with 21 per cent of voting intentions compared to 19 per cent for Mr Macron’s La Republique En Marche (LREM) party. Together with the seven per cent of people planning to vote for a smaller far-Right party, Stand Up France, and two per cent going for two small “Frexit” parties, the French far-Right has won 30 per cent of voting intentions, a five-point gain since August, according to the poll. In a landmark victory, the Front National won the largest share of the French vote in the last European elections in 2014, when the Socialist Party held power in France. Mr Macron is leading the campaign for the 2019 European elections, which he has described as “a contest between progressives and nationalists.”

“From the LA. Times:
1. 40% of all workers in LA County (10.2 million people) are working for cash; and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. (Donald Trump was right)

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4.Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals; they are here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
