Yes, the surveillance state is now mainstream, according to a US professor of law, whom no-one could call a conspiracy theorist:
  http://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/05/03/dershowitz-cohen-wiretap-moving-closer-closer-surveillance-state/

“Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz stated that President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen being wiretapped by federal investigators meant America was “moving closer and closer to the surveillance state.” Dershowitz said, “I think we are moving closer and closer to the surveillance state where phone calls are tapped, where emails are secured without a real basis. I think prosecutors should not be seeking wiretaps on lawyers’ offices and search warrants and subpoenas for lawyers’ email files unless they have very substantial evidence of very serious crimes—campaign contributions don’t qualify for the kind of crime that should justify the wiretapping of a lawyer. Remember that when you wiretap a lawyer, you are wiretapping his clients and you wiretapping conversations between a lawyer and the client and you are searching for emails. Where is the American Civil Liberties Union on this? Where are civil libertarians? We live in such a partisan atmosphere, get Trump at any cost that we are prepared to give up our basic civil liberties in exchange for getting Trump.”

To The Age          What authority in terms of law ('Aboriginal elders criticise treaty talks', 15/5) does 'Victoria's historic treaty process' really have? To most of us the prerogative of signing treaties seems to lie only with the federal government, which has full responsibility for foreign affairs. Can the Prime Minister clarify the situation for us? Looking at the photograph of a mere twenty or thirty persons, some of whom appear only part-Aboriginal, I do not see a group which I believe has the right in 2018 to make constitutional claims on my nation's government. I doubt if they would be recognized by tribal law before the British settled here; and I doubt if they normally wear that ancient style of dress in daily life. In short, I believe that a fraud is being worked on the people of our state and on Australians generally.

     It was predictable that Trump would pull out of the nuclear accord with Iran. No sooner had this been done, then the following exchange occurred between Israel and Iran:

     What is clear here is that Iran even without nuclear weapons will be no pushover, and it has succeeded in shooting missiles down. The wildcard is Russia, which if involved would necessitate the US entering the war to defend Israel. Then, we are on the road to Armageddon, something the US fundamentalist Christian evangelicals have been eagerly awaiting, as part of their “end of days” ideology: the “rapture,” and all that:

     While Europe moves to censor any criticism of Islamisation, supporters of the creation of a European Islamic caliphate freely proclaim the agenda of the new social order. For example, here is one prediction that Belgium will have a Muslim majority within 12 years:
  https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/05/pro-sharia-party-leader-belgium-will-have-a-muslim-majority-within-12-years/#.WvbRN_tLhQE.twitter

“The leader of Belgium’s “Islam” party said in a TV interview that Belgium will have a Muslim majority soon. Earlier we’ve reported on how his Islam party wants to introduce Sharia law and create an Islamic State in Belgium.
Redouane Ahrouch, who is the founder and leader of the party, attended a debate aired on Belgium’s national TV on Tuesday. In the VRT-programme “De Afspraak” he announced that his party will expand from Brussels to other big cities like Antwerp and Ghent. Ahrouch thinks Belgium’s changing population will increase his pro-sharia party’s chances: “Within 12 years, Belgium will have a Muslim majority”. He adds that then there will be two groups that can lead the country: “Extremists or democrats like us.”

     Everything is bigger and “better” in the United States, including corruption and the waste of public money on politically correct causes:

“A Republican running for office in California’s 37th congressional district is sounding the alarm about some shocking information he recently uncovered concerning the gross misuse of taxpayer dollars by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Ron Bassilian, an information technology (IT) guru who specializes in Microsoft’s Exchange enterprise email solution software, has offered up solid proof that the CDC knowingly diverted at least $3 million in taxpayer funding to leftist groups that have nothing to do with science. Back in 2014, Representative Karen Bass, a Democratic congresswoman from California, was seen handing over a giant $3 million check to a local group known as the South Los Angeles Healthcare Organizing Project that claims to advocate for improving the health of the poor. And emblazoned on the check as the payer was none other than the CDC.

     Old George Soros is the man who keeps on giving … to Left wing politically correct causes. This time George is funding Left wing candidates for local politics, namely district attorneys right across the US:

  https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Billionaire-Soros-funding-reform-minded-district-12902248.php 

“Billionaire philanthropist George Soros has dropped at least $275,000 into district attorney races throughout Northern California, supporting candidates who advocate reduced incarceration and other criminal justice reforms. Such issues have long been a passion for Soros, who in past years has funded state ballot measures to legalize marijuana and weaken the “three strikes” sentencing law. He’s also tipped district attorney elections in other parts of the country — last year a Soros-backed political action committee helped clinch the win for civil rights attorney Larry Krasner in Philadelphia. This year, the liberal financier has funneled contributions into the California Justice & Public Safety Political Action Committee, which is paying for campaign mailers and advertisements in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, as well as Sacramento, ahead of the June 5 state primary. In Alameda County, the committee has spent $131,158 in support of Oakland civil rights attorney Pamela Price, a candidate known for her sharp criticism of police. She is challenging District Attorney Nancy O’Malley — a more mainstream progressive seeking a third term — on the June ballot. Soros is using his money and influence to fix that, Cordell said. “He’s trying to bring in people of color and other candidates who want to change the system,” she said.”

     Merkel is determined to crush any opposition to mass immigration so that the native German peole ultimately disappear, the real meaning of mass immigration. Likewise, Macron of France, who always makes me think of limp pasta for some reason,  while in some speeches raising fears about the survival of the EU, in others sees the way forward being to crush opposition to globalism:

  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/12/macron-integration-eu-migrant-quotas/

“Emmanuel Macron has demanded closer and faster EU integration towards a superstate, in a speech where he vowed to “yield nothing” to conservative eastern members which believe in a Europe of strong nations. Speaking in Aachen, where he received this year’s pro-EU Charlemagne prize “in recognition of his vision of a new Europe” and his “decisive stance” against nationalism, the French president urged Brussels to move full speed ahead on monetary union and creating a single foreign policy and defence strategy for the whole bloc. Condemning the “music of nationalism [that] is resounding everywhere in Europe”, Macron called on Europhiles who want to see more power concentrated in Brussels to “move forward with full force and as quickly as possible” with plans for integration so as to drown out the “clear [voices] of nationalists and demagogues”. “Barbed wire reappears everywhere in Europe, including  in the minds,” the French leader cautioned, declaring that he would “yield nothing” in the fight with Hungary and Poland over so-called EU values, Politico reports.”

     This is odd, or is it?
  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-14/liberals-back-move-not-to-contest-fremantle-perth-by-elections/9758716 

“Senior Turnbull Government ministers have endorsed the Liberal Party’s decision not to contest two federal WA seats in upcoming by-elections, saying it would have been a waste of “limited resources”. The Liberals will not run candidates in the federal seats of Fremantle and Perth following the resignations of Labor’s Tim Hammond and Josh Wilson. Mr Hammond said the toll the job was taking on his family was too great, while Mr Wilson stood down in the wake of the High Court’s latest ruling on dual citizenship. Federal Finance Minister Mathias Cormann backed the move to not run Liberal candidates in either seat.”

     Can it be true: the end of the EU?
  https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/957868/EU-news-Emmanuel-Macron-Charlemagne-Prize-Germany-Angela-Merkel-Jean-Claude-Juncker

“Mr Macron’s plans are seemingly at odds with EU boss Jean-Claude Juncker who admit there is no future in the “United States of Europe” vision being chased by the Frenchman. Before accepting his prize, Mr Macron wrote on Twitter: “The European dream is now gnawed by doubt. “It’s up to us to decide whether we want to live it or let it die.”

     It is hard to keep up with the “Russia stole the US election” nonsense. The issue at the moment seems to be that there really was an FBI/CIA/M16 spy-op, but this was directed towards the Trump campaign, not Hillary Clinton:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-19/fbi-spy-op-exposed-trump-campaign-infiltrated-longtime-cia-and-mi6-asset
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-05-19-deep-state-leak-to-ny-times-is-admission-that-obama-regime-spied-on-trump-campaign.html 

“Following two weeks of mounting speculation over the FBI’s so-called “mole” inside the Trump campaign, the New York Times and Washington Post published separate accounts on Friday detailing the infiltration of the Trump campaign - a scheme revealed in a Wednesday report by the New York Times in which “at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos.” The Wednesday report also disclosed the existence of “Operation Crossfire Hurricane” - the FBI’s code name for their early Trump-Russia investigation. Thanks to Friday’s carefully crafted deep-state disclosures by WaPo and the Times, along with actual reporting by the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross, we now know it wasn’t a mole at all - but 73-year-old University of Cambridge professor Stefan Halper, a US citizen, political veteran and longtime US Intelligence asset enlisted by the FBI to befriend and spy on three members of the Trump campaign during the 2016 US election.

     Hillary Clinton cannot let go of the idea that the Russians stole the US election and thus stopped her from becoming president, and in turn going to war with Russia, thus ending all intelligent life in the known universe. Now, she throws dirt at Russia whenever she can like the spoilt Boomer that she is:

“One-and-a-half years after Hillary Clinton lost the election, she’s taken her baseless claims of Russian collusion to her alma mater, pulling out a Russian hat while speaking at Yale’s graduation ceremony. The former secretary of state, who has hardly taken a breath in her campaign against Moscow and claims that it colluded with Donald Trump, wasted no time before jumping straight into the topic of Russia on Sunday. After a few obligatory “thank yous” to students and the faculty, she got stuck in. “I see you are following the tradition of over-the-top hats [at graduation], so I brought a hat too – a Russian hat,” she said. “I mean, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” https://www.rt.com/usa/427277-clinton-yale-russia-speech/

     Jordan Peterson has been considered part of an “intellectual dark web,” a loose knit of thinkers who are daring to question sacred cows of the modern regime. That shows how much in decline the universities are, since one would have expected academics to perform fundamental questioning as part of their pay. But, no.
  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/opinion/intellectual-dark-web.html

     Peterson himself has done good work on the gender agenda and on manhood. However, he has a critical weakness on race and immigration, as these critics have established:

     America is slowly dying and I see it here every day in my home city of Tallahassee, Florida. I cannot imagine what it would be like living in a city such as Baltimore, which is essentially a warzone. Yet, leaving crime to one side, it is economic decline, contrary to Trump, which is evident, everywhere:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-21/when-43-americans-cant-pay-food-and-rent-we-can-safely-say-economic-collapse-here
  https://www.theorganicprepper.com/americans-rent-food-economic-collapse/

“You know all those reports about how lots of Americans can’t afford a $1000 surprise expense like a medical bill or a car repair? Well, forget additional expenses. It turns out that nearly half of the families in America are struggling to pay for food and rent. And that means that the economic collapse isn’t just “coming.” It’s HERE. United Way has done a study on a group of Americans they call ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. The study found that this group does not make the money needed “to survive in the modern economy.” ALICE is your child care worker, your parent on Social Security, the cashier at your supermarket, the gas attendant, the salesperson at your big box store, your waitress, a home health aide, an office clerk. ALICE cannot always pay the bills, has little or nothing in savings, and is forced to make tough choices such as deciding between quality child care or paying the rent. One unexpected car repair or medical bill can push these financially strapped families over the edge.

     It is good to see a wee bit of good news in this time of the dark days of the rule of Mordor. Thus, in Italy:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/21/new-italian-government-eurosceptic-anti-mass-migration-coalition-agreed/

“Coalition partner party leaders will go to the Quirinal Palace Monday evening to meet with Sergio Mattarella, the Italian President, to officially form a populist, Eurosceptic government which has prompted panicked headlines across the continent. The emergence of the League (‘La Lega’, northern Italy, tax-reforming, anti-mass migration) and Five Star (southern Italy, anti-establishment) coalition follows months of hard-fought negotiations since the national elections in early March.

     Germany sure knows how to solve a problem: train migrants as truck drivers! Perhaps then, train migrants as train drivers, and then drive migrants by train. Train migrants to train train drivers who train truck drivers! I give up; I can’t use the word “train” in any more senses, no matter how much I train, without tripping over my pen/key board.
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/23/germany-asylum-seekers-should-be-trained-truck-drivers/

“A pilot project in Germany is working to make it easier for asylum seekers to become truck drivers – an initiative that comes amid widespread unemployment for migrants who arrived during the migrant crisis. The German Red Cross and the Logistics Organisation want to alleviate the shortage of drivers in the state of Schleswig-Holstein with targetted recruiting of asylum seekers, in moves that have been praised as “imaginative and praiseworthy” by regional Economics Minister Bernd Buchholz, reports Kieler Nachrichten. A similar nation-wide programme of hiring asylum seekers and refugees as truck drivers was pushed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel after she opened Europe’s borders to over one million Middle Eastern and African migrants in 2015, the vast majority of whom are unskilled.”

     Whoooaaah, first Trump and now our friend with the cars and spaceships, I think, Elon Musk, unloading on the establishment media, right along Trumpesque  lines, of “false news.” Thus, for the reader’s amusement, since we all know that the mainstream media is deceit with a purpose, here are Elon’s delightful Tweets. They are hard hitting and to the point, or should I say, “On Target.”

     There is good news and bad news. The good news, for us, is that by 2035, the non-religious will face a birth dearth, and begin the descent to extinction. Great! But, the bad news for Christians is that babies born to Muslims will outnumber babies born to Christians:
  http://www.pewforum.org/2017/04/05/the-changing-global-religious-landscape/ 
  https://theoutline.com/post/1353/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-muslim-baby?zd=1&zi=vc4al4so

“More babies were born to Christian mothers than to members of any other religion in recent years, reflecting Christianity’s continued status as the world’s largest religious group. But this is unlikely to be the case for much longer: Less than 20 years from now, the number of babies born to Muslims is expected to modestly exceed births to Christians, according to new Pew Research Center demographic estimates. Muslims are projected to be the world’s fastest-growing major religious group in the decades ahead, as Pew Research Center has explained, and signs of this rapid growth already are visible. In the period between 2010 and 2015, births to Muslims made up an estimated 31% of all babies born around the world – far exceeding the Muslim share of people of all ages in 2015 (24%). The world’s Christian population also has continued to grow, but more modestly. In recent years, 33% of the world’s babies were born to Christians, which is slightly greater than the Christian share of the world’s population in 2015 (31%).”

     Good  old Elon Musk, a corporate capitalist, who is seeing bad times, and is under attack, but is fighting back by naming those who are trying to destroy him. And, the media is upset with him. Consider this extract from The Sydney Morning Herald:

“He is prone to unhinged Twitter eruptions. He can’t handle criticism. He scolds the news media for its purported dishonesty and threatens to create a Soviet-like apparatus to keep tabs on it. He suckers people to fork over cash in exchange for promises he hasn’t kept. He’s a billionaire whose business flirts with bankruptcy. He’s sold himself as an establishment-crushing iconoclast when he’s really little more than an unusually accomplished BS artist. His legions of devotees are fanatics and, let’s face it, a bit stupid. I speak of Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, the Donald Trump of Silicon Valley.”

“Italian President Sergio Mattarella announced his rejection of Italy’s populist coalition government Sunday evening in what is being billed as one of the worst days in Italian political history. Mattarella’s move is being widely interpreted as a rejection not only of the government but of the national will as expressed in democratic elections, and massive demonstrations are expected Monday. The Italian president was reportedly under heavy pressure from Brussels, Berlin, and other centres of European power to abort the Eurosceptic government, which they viewed as a threat to European stability.”
