This does not exactly nail the “out of Africa” ideology, but is does sink the East Africa is the cradle of civilisation myth, and that is welcome:  https://www.amren.com/news/2018/11/2-4-million-year-old-tools-found-in-algeria-could-upend-human-origin-story/    https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/New-Find-Threatens-East-Africas-Cradle-of-Civilization-Title-20181201-0009.html?utm_source=amerika.org&utm_medium=amerika.org&utm_campaign=amerika.org&utm_content=amerika.org&utm_medium=amerika.org&utm_term=amerika.org&ito=amerika.org&fbclid=amerika.org

“Archaeologists in Algeria have discovered stone tools and cut animal bones that may be up to 2.4 million years old, bringing into question East Africa’s title as the cradle of humanity, according to research published Thursday in the journal Science. The artifacts — more ancient than those discovered in the region until now — were found in Setif, some 200 miles (300 kilometres) east of Algiers, by a team of international researchers, including Algerians. The tools closely resemble those called Oldowan, found until now mainly in East Africa. The tools were unearthed near dozens of fossilised animal bones which contained cut marks, as if relics of prehistoric butchers. The bones came from animals including the ancestors of crocodiles, elephants and hippopotamuses.

     I did get the memo, stating that our side of politics sees the Enlightenment as overall good, and that the rise of science, rationality and cold hard technology, constitute real human advancement. But, could the situation be more complex, comprising shades of grey, but maybe not fifty such shades? Could the matter be like modern medicine, which as benefits, but also costs?  https://www.amazon.com.au/Medical-Nihilism-Jacob-Stegenga-ebook/dp/B07B9ZQ1VR    https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2018/06/04/richard-smith-the-case-for-medical-nihilism-and-gentle-medicine/

     Well, I believe that James Reed’s new found love for China may have take a beating  when he considers the latest news:  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-27/china-ambassador-warns-dire-consequences-if-no-deal-hints-all-out-war

“According to China's ambassador to the US, Cui Tiankai, China is going to this week’s G-20 summit hoping for a deal to ease a damaging trade war with the United States, even as he warned of "dire consequences" if U.S. hardliners - read the trade hawks led by Peter Navarro - try to separate the world’s two largest economies. Asked whether he though hardliners in the White House were seeking to separate the closely linked U.S. and Chinese economies, Cui said he did not think it was possible or helpful to do so, but warned that "I don’t know if people really realize the possible consequences - the impact, the negative impact - if there is such a decoupling." He followed up the surprisingly strong statement with an even more shocking comment, in which Tiankai went so far as to tacitly hint that the "lessons of history" suggest that if there is no deal, what comes next could be another great depression... and conventional war. "The lessons of history are still there. In the last century, we had two world wars, And in between them, the Great Depression. I don’t think anybody should really try to have a repetition of history. These things should never happen again, so people have to act in a responsible way.”

     Immigration to formerly white countries by everybody in the multiverse, is a “human right,’ or is it now, “cosmic universe right.” But, what is not a human right? Murder? Suicide? Gasp! Maybe these are according to our overlords, the rightly negation named, UN:  https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/11/15/un-committee-wants-to-make-abortion-and-assisted-suicide-a-universal-human-right/

“The United Nations Human Rights Committee drafted a memo saying that abortion and physician-assisted suicide should be universal human rights. The memo, or “general comment” on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, calls for abortion to be decriminalized everywhere. Nations and states should “not introduce new barriers and should remove existing barriers [to abortion] … including barriers caused as a result of the exercise of conscientious objection by individual medical providers,” it said. The committee that put forward the draft is headed by former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, according to Crux. Aborting an unborn baby was illegal in Chile until August 2017 when the nation’s lawmakers ruled to decriminalize abortion in the cases of rape, fatal fetal abnormalities, and when the mother’s life is in danger. Young people should have access to contraception as well as guaranteed access to post-abortion health care “in all circumstances, and on a confidential basis,” the draft also said, Crux reported. Stigma against abortion should also be discouraged, the draft noted. The U.N. Human Rights Committee successfully ordered the Irish government to pay Siobhan Whelan roughly $34,000 and provide her with psychological treatment in November 2017 to compensate for Whelan’s travel expenses in order to obtain an abortion. Whelan had traveled from Ireland, where abortion was illegal at the time, to the U.K. for the procedure. Whelan was the second woman compensated post-abortion on orders from the U.N.”

     Sure, vaccines are good for you, and only crazed right wing fringe dwellers would think otherwise. Why, just ask the Chinese:  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-08-17-chinas-vaccine-scandal-explodes-as-one-million-doses-now-found-to-be-maiming-chinese-children.html

“The Chinese government has admitted that hundreds of thousands more doses of children’s vaccines are faulty, bringing the total number of vaccines known to be defective there to nearly one million. The State Council of China announced that another batch of vaccines for diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (DPT) that were produced by the firm Changchun Changsheng Biotechnology, were considered “substandard.” Most of the doses were sold to authorities in the Shandong province in northeastern China, and some have already been given to children. The latest batch of 247,200 vaccines joins the 253,338 defective DPT vaccines from the same company that were discovered last November, along with more than 400,000 produced by a different company. According to the South China Morning Post, 76 percent of those children who were given injections from the first substandard batch have already been treated by doctors, and there are now plans in place to treat those who received injections from the second batch. Although the Chinese government has done its best to prevent people from talking about the crisis, Chinese social media is still full of conversation about the topic. There have also been reports that the company used expired ingredients and altered testing records.’

     I did not know about this one, but along with the much-criticised UN Migration pact, there is also a UN Refugee Pact, set to be signed in Morocco on December 10-11. This one will extend the scope of a “refugee,” which is already elastic enough now to encompass basically any non-white wanting to come to the West to better themselves, as shown by the present Us caravan fiasco, to now embrace environmental and climate change “refugees.” This, will mean all non-Western people would have a right to enter Western countries, therefore demographically displacing them over night. Thus, the immigration elites of the EU hypothesise that, for example, Germany has a capacity for refugee absorption  of 274 million, and Sweden 440 million:  https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/sites/homeaffairs/files/e-library/docs/pdf/final_report_relocation_of_refugees_en.pdf    https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/11/warning-the-uns-refugee-pact-is-even-worse-than-its-migration-pact-and-both-will-be-signed-in-december/    https://www.unhcr.org/5b3295167

     Both countries would be demographically swamped, without even thinking about sustaining the environments. Media reports confirm that Australia is not going to sign the UN Migration Pact:  https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/nov/21/australia-refuses-to-sign-un-migration-pact-citing-risks-to-turnbacks-and-detention

     For decades now, working people, tax payers and retirees have been battered by the Green elites who shelter in well-paid tax havens like the UN and Greenpeace. These Green elites have been supported by fellow travellers like the Clintons, Obama and Hollywood in America; Merkel in Germany; David Cameron, Prince Charles, David Attenborough and the BBC in UK; Macron in France; Gillard, Turnbull, Flannery and the ABC in Australia; the Trudeau dynasty in Canada; plus ranks of pious clerics, scheming oil sheiks, green energy speculators and guilt-stricken big business executives.

     This powerful elite has waged ceaseless war on the coal and nuclear power that provides cheap reliable electricity, on the farmers and fishermen who provide food, and on those who refine and manufacture things. They tax the diesel vehicles that provide transport and recreation for ordinary people and fill their suburbs and welfare rolls with imported “refugees”. They have captured their schools and universities that now provide more indoctrination than education. Green dogma infests the government media that people used to trust and is destroying the industries that once gave them well-paid jobs. But Jack & Jill Public are starting to fight back.

To The Age        Your editorial "Indigenous voice needs to be heard" (4/12) fails to convince that such a "voice" should be constitutionally entrenched. The interests of all Australians need to be fairly considered before any change is made to our constitution. In particular, terminology needs to be carefully deployed. "Traditional ownership" and "indigenous" are terms needing inspection. The idea that a tiny group of Australians who self-identify as "indigenous" (when most of them are of mixed ethnic heritage) should be considered the "owners" of the whole land of Australia is a romantic fantasy. Nor does "the unique status of" our "indigenous people" mean that that tiny group should be privileged over the rest of us. This is so, regardless of any "wrongs of the past". No Australian living today is guilty of those wrongs. You brush away too easily the justified fear that the proposed voice would "fan divisions" and function as a "third chamber of Parliament." On the contrary, it is obvious that the proposal is really intended as a first step on the path to setting up a second nation on this continent. That is much more than a mere "symbolic gesture."  Nigel Jackson, Belgrave, Vic

To The Australian        Comments critical of Brexit by surgeons planning to leave the UK ("Workers' exodus signals end of a European dream", 4/12) illuminate one aspect of the tragedy involved in constitutional change: a clash of mutually incompatible idealistic dreams. Paolo Mueisan is "disappointed that the European dream of working and living in a borderless world has failed." Oncologist Alfredo Addeo says that a UK within the EU was for him "the prototype of multiculturalism and integration." Neither man shows any awareness of the historical fact that the British were incorporated into the EU by political dishonesty and trickery, notably that of Conservative prime minister Edward Heath. Nor do the two express any sympathy for the alternative dream held by the 52% who voted for Leave in 2016: resumption of an independent and free Britain and escape from a noxious bureaucratic tyranny. There is a lesson here for Australians: idealistic-sounding constitutional changes proposed for us by powerful lobby groups (the republic, constitutional recognition) may contain great disadvantages that would threaten our own traditional "Australian dream." We can learn from the UK experience not to be beguiled.  Nigel Jackson, Belgrave, Vic

To The Australian        It is a curious synchronicity that sees political forces attempting to stampede the UK into abandoning Brexit, while other such forces are trying to stampede the Australian people and our Liberal Party into severing links with anything that smacks of the "right wing" or conservatism. Let us hope that each people can keep its head and avoid self-destructing. In this context it is good that Tony Abbott is still buoyantly pugnacious ("Defiant Abbott says he could be PM again", 1-2/12). After the next elections he should be given a senior parliamentary role; but the Liberal Party will be wise to stay with Scott Morrison as leader to maintain stability and its “broad church” appeal. Meanwhile there is a rise in hectic fanaticism and excited triumphalism in the ranks of many on the Left. We should, like Abbott, not lie down meekly before it.  Nigel Jackson, Belgrave, Vic

     Ha! This was behind a paywall, but one kind reader who supports the cause had a chook raffle raising the money for me to look at articles from The Australian, just like a real journalist, dripping with resources. Articles like this one:  https://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/immigration/most-australians-wanted-migrant-intake-frozen-24-years-ago/news-story/9f65e547a7d435fee5310a159c70a90b?fbclid=IwAR14VfahTm1C2XaScCo42zLmM-8oWHMIUbY4CvP5yfs68xX1ZaNmqBsbCdk&login=1

“Liberal senator Dean Smith says Australians have not been listened to on population policy ¬development over the past two decades. Demands from a majority of Australians to put the brakes on immig¬ration levels in 1994 were ignore¬d by political leaders, who oversaw a 30 per cent blowout in population growth. Liberal senator Dean Smith is using figures from a 24-year-old parliamentary committee report to argue Australians have not been listened to on population policy ¬development over the past two decades. The West Australian senator, who led the campaign last year to legalise same-sex marriage, called for the re-establishment of the now abolished long-term strategies committee and for a popu¬lation inquiry to be prioritised. Senator Smith’s proposal came as cabinet minister Christopher Pyne argued that Australia did not have a “too-high population”, despite Scott Morrison confirming there would be a reduction in the cap of the permanent migration intake.

     If you go to sites referenced by us such as Pamela Geller or by Robert Spencer, even more to the Left, such as Zero Hedge and Natural News,  you may begin to notice a pattern in the gothic new stories. Your mind, operating in Sherlock Holmes fashion, may begin to join up the dots to form a pattern. But, the Deepers in our home state of Victoria have saved us the trouble, and have found that the real threats to national security are … you guessed it … people who are “fixated” on an ideology, writing letters and the like, mainly right wing types.  http://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/victorias-fixated-persons-centre-to-target-right-wing-extremism/?fbclid=IwAR2okejNwZxFDsdfC8BmSZiKdTChN4grK4tZwauEAlLGs6L146cNWzDGVZk

“Yesterday the Victorian Andrews Labor Government unveiled a new Victoria Police unit, the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre which it claims is aimed at protecting Victorians from terrorism and lone actor attacks. It will be staffed by 13 specialist police officers and aims to process 300 people in its first year. It is based on similar centres that have opened up New South Wales, Queensland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. However a closer look at which types of people the centre aims to target reveals it has a disturbing political agenda. Assistant Police Commissioner Ross Guenther defined fixated persons as those who repeatedly write letters, email or call local councillors or politicians and those who display a fixation with an ideology or religion.

     Hang ‘Em High, is a 1968 movie starring Clint Eastwood, and a masterpiece compared to what goes down today. Speaking though of hanging, here is an item that illustrates the mind of the Leftoid chatterers, and what they would like to do, I suppose, since they do say it, and if the Right did, well, that would be “terrorism” wouldn’t it?  https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2018/11/30/bette-midler-fantasizes-trump-and-family-hanged-high/

“Actress and Broadway star Bette Midler fantasized about President Donald Trump and his family being hanged “good and high” in a pro-Robert Mueller social media post Friday. “Trump Trump Trump Bob Mueller’s marching, Trump Trump Trump And here is why Trump Trump Trump He’s gonna hang you Hang the fam’ly GOOD AND HIGH!” Bette Midler said.

     We share a moment to reflect upon the legacy of George H. W. Bush (1924-2018), 41st president of the US. Yes, here was a true globalist man, who did his bit in continuing the New World order, and was not afraid of using that term, because things have gone swimmingly well for the globalists, and they could relax and stretch out a bit in comfort. Bush signed the Immigration Act of 1990, massively increasing Third World immigration to America. Eagerly he negotiated the free trade NAFTA agreement, but it was left to Bill Clinton, when he was not having sex with interns, to sign it into law. Then there was the Gulf War, war for oil. Overall, for a globalist he did well. For America, he did nothing but dragged the country down further. I leave you with the infamous New World Order video, old George at his globalist peak:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc7i0wCFf8g

“The much-hyped photo of French President Emmanuel Macron posing with two bare-chested young men during his September trip to the island of Saint Martin is back in the spotlight. Social media users have revealed that the infamous picture of President Emmanuel Macron happily smiling next to a reported drug dealer and a middle finger-giving resident of Saint Martin is being censored on Facebook for violating the network’s rules against ‘nudity and sexual activity’.

     The weakness of President Trump was revealed yet again by his remarks about the Obama administration spying on his campaign, when he said that if he had done it, Obama and the Democrat thugs would have been after him for treason:   https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6429935/Trump-rips-Obamas-administration-spying-campaign.html

“President Trump ripped into Obama and his administration for 'spying' on his presidential campaign, claiming if the same had happened to the former president it would be considered treason, audio tapes obtained by DailyMail.com reveal. In Trump's Enemies: How the Deep State Is Undermining the Presidency, authors Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager, and David Bossie, deputy campaign manager and part of the transition team, sat down with Trump for a 45-minute interview, covering a wide-range of topics, including the Mueller probe, fake news and his strained relationship with Obama. When asked if he believed Obama knew that his appointed CIA chief John Brennan and director of national intelligence (DNI) James Clapper were conducting surveillance on citizens, specifically members of his campaign, Trump said he believed the former president was aware of what they were doing. Trump responded: 'Personally, I think he knew. Yeah. Just remember what they did.

     The poor migrants hurtling towards the US border aiming to enrich America with their diversity and high educations and skills, mostly in rocket science, have faced many racist obstacles, especially from the greatest racist of them all, Mother Nature:  https://www.breitbart.com/border/2018/11/29/some-caravan-migrants-have-aids-and-tb-say-mexican-authorities/

“Mexican officials stated that more than one-third of the 6,000 caravan migrants currently living in the border city of Tijuana, Baja California, are being treated for health-related issues. Some are being treated for infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and chickenpox. The Tijuana Health Department warned that many of the migrants residing in their city are presenting serious health issues, Fox News reported on Thursday morning. A spokesman for the agency said that more than 2,200 of the estimated 6,000 caravan migrants are currently being treated. Of these, there are four confirmed cases of HIV/AIDS, four cases of chickenpox, and three cases of tuberculosis, the official stated. The department also claims that more than 100 migrants are infested with lice and there are multiple instances of skin infections. Officials also expressed concern that the unsanitary conditions in the shelters could lead to an outbreak of Hepatitis.”

     As long as there is some personal benefit, technologies are accepted by the sheeple, like religious dogma handed down by the priestly cast in pre-Christian times. It seemingly does not matter how the products work; they could well be magic for all the masses care. And, if it kills them, well, as regards to information technology and social media, at least one can be in contract with one’s furry friends as one dies out:   https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-11-29-safety-of-5g-technology-questions.html

“Five G technology, which will require cell towers every couple hundred feet in order to work, is perhaps the greatest technological fraud to date. It’s never been proven safe – and, in fact, has been shown to be threatening to the health of plants, animals, and humans. It all has to do with the type of radiation that’s emitted from 5G – radiation that penetrates human skin more aggressively than any other type of radiation currently emitted from consumer electronics. It’s actually in the same frequency range as what’s blasted by the naked body scanners present at American and British airports. “Today’s cellular and Wi-Fi networks rely on microwaves – a type of electromagnetic radiation utilizing frequencies up to 6 gigahertz (GHz) in order to wirelessly transmit voice or data,” explains the Environmental Health Trust (EHT) about the difference. “However, 5G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing submillimeter and millimeter waves – to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation.”

     I had been awaiting this one, and now it is here. People wanting to marry objects such as old shoes, doggy doo and wheelie bin refuse:  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/11/27/objectum-sexual-woman-gets-a-tattoo-of-her-fiance-a-chandelier/

“A British woman who identifies as “objectum sexual,” or attracted to inanimate objects, recently got a tattoo of her future spouse — a chandelier named “Lumiere.” Breitbart News reported last year about a British woman who was engaged to a chandelier. Now, the Mirror reports that Amanda Liberty of Leeds, England, has a tattoo of her spouse-to-be, a chandelier she calls “Lumiere.” “I couldn’t stop thinking about her and how beautiful she was — she has such a beautiful shape, and I could feel really amazing energy coming from her,” Liberty said last year. “Although I knew it would be tricky to get her home, I knew I needed to find a way to make her mine.”

     The climateers are celebrating their 24th annual shindig in Poland - COP24. Here are three questions for PM Morrison and his ministers:

Who represents Australia?What authority have they got?Will there be a report to the Australian people?Australia should sign nothing, agree to nothing and signal its intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.COP24 will produce zero benefits for Earth’s climate, but their goals are economically irresponsible.The Paris Agreement they seek to enforce is negative for the Australian people, and for everyone not on the climate gravy train.
