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:

     Perhaps you may not have heard of this news if you just read our Australian media, although I found one report there, but it has been reported that Australia has made a grand leap frog in the New World order inspired war on cash, by  banning cash payments of over $10,000. This is allegedly aimed at dealing with the black market economy, but it does not take much thinking or knowledge of current affairs to see that this is just bs, and is part of a globalist movement to phase out cash so that people can be at the mercy of electronic transactions. Toe the line, or bingo, bank accounts frozen, or drained and you starve.

     Given the cowardice and apathy of the ordinary sheep, and let’s face facts here because our survival is at stake and it is suicidal to see the world through rose-coloured liberal democratic glasses. People will need to adopt survivalist, off grid strategies. Part of these involves stockpiling physical goods that will store and last a long time. Think dries beans and lentils versus frozen meat. Have on stock enough clothes, shoes/boots, toiletries etc. to last for the longer haul. These items should be things that you would spend money on anyway. There is a large segment of the survivalist movement focussed on gold and Bitcoin and other cyber-currencies. I have not qualifications for offering financial advice. What I do know though is that it is hard to go wrong having stashed in one’s shed items that do not spoil (e.g. toilet paper, dried goods etc.), that one can use in hard times, leaving above the iceberg, one’s normal job-money, which for most of us is the pitiful amount given by Centrelink.

To The Australian          There is nothing in Mark Leibler's latest advocacy ("'It's all or nothing' on Uluru Statement", 12-13/5) to dispel legitimate fears that the Referendum Council is pushing a fundamentally separatist agenda contrary to the interests and wishes of the great majority of Australians. National unity is the bedrock of our security as a people. Despite his claims, it is not clear that the Uluru Statement is truly representative of 'the wishes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people', for membership of the groups that eventually originated it was by invitation only. Nor is it clear that any such 'people' can be or should be given any special constitutional status at this stage in history, when there has been so much marrying out. Moreover, there is already widespread public distrust in Parliament and politicians, so it is unlikely that the electorate will accept the argument that any 'voice to Parliament' will not be treated as 'a third chamber.' In any case Australians of indigenous ancestry already have adequate means of achieving dialogue with their fellow Australians.

     A report in The Australian (12-13 May) headed ‘Mission to kill Mugabe foiled’ provides further insight into the internal treachery that led to the downfall of Rhodesia and the subsequent despotism of Robert Mugabe. Earlier Ian Hancock and Peter Godwin in Rhodesians Never Die (Pan Macmillan, 2007) dealt extensively with the critical role played by Rhodesia’s head of intelligence, Ken Flower, who was secretly disloyal to Ian Smith and the Rhodesia Front government of 1965-1977. The Australian’s report by Valentine Low, originally published in The Times in London, claims that attempts in 1979 by the Rhodesian SAS to assassinate Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, leaders of the two main African nationalist parties (or terrorist organisations, as some would say), were foiled by internal leaks to the British, who then tipped the targeted men off in time for them to escape the assassins. 

     Low is quoting a new book, We Dared to Win: The SAS in Rhodesia by Hannes Wessels and Andre Scheepers. David Owen, British foreign secretary in 1979, is said to have confirmed the story thirty years afterwards, including the role of Flower. His justification – that ‘Mugabe was at that time… the genuine choice of the Rhodesian people’ – is highly suspect. Would Mugabe have needed to resort to bestial acts of terrorism if that was the case? Despite the scepticism of Hancock and Godwin, I think that The Australian League of Rights was correct to support independent Rhodesia in those crucial years. The tragic history of that nation merely confirms the ongoing truth of Saint Paul’s famous statement that Christians are opposed to hidden evil in high places. Australia at the present time appears to be being white anted as was Rhodesia then.

To The Age          Tracey Ireland (14/5) sees Captain Cook as 'a polarizing national symbol, representing possession and dispossession', but he can also be seen as a man of exceptionally noble character who laid vital foundations for the modern Australia of which all our citizens are fortunate beneficiaries, including those with indigenous ancestry. Special celebrations for the 250th anniversary of his voyages make good sense and are welcome. It must also be noted that the Aboriginal people Cook found here, in effect, lost possession of the continent by their inability to defend it. It is a part of Nature that stronger creatures and peoples displace weaker ones. It is foolish, if not mischievous, to seek to undo what happened. Today's Australia is made up of many different ethnic groups. Let's celebrate the virtues of each and avoid creating unnecessary conflict that weakens the nation.
  Nigel Jackson, Belgrave, Vic

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.

     Another day, yet another challenge to push political correctness to places where no man has gone before. Sorry, genderised person:
  http://www.ithaca.com/news/policy-expert-explains-that-yes-food-can-be-racist/article_9612ae1a-539c-11e8-9733-773e398cfb16.html

“Doctor Milton Mills explained these inequalities of the US Department of Agriculture’s dietary guidelines at length, painting a picture of the historical negligence of the US government when it comes to crafting their food recommendations to the dietary needs of minorities in the country, led most notably by its impact on African-Americans. Mills is an Intensive Care Unit doctor in Washington, D.C., and a noted speaker on the topic of disease prevention through dietary methods, shunning the typical western diet in favor of eating a plant-based diet.

     The prediction by demographer David Cole is that Britain will be a majority non-white by 2060, although there are good reasons to believe that this is optimistic and that it will happen much sooner, perhaps sooner than in Australia. As detailed in this video, “Britain Abolishes Itself,” the conservative party has recognised that if immigration continues then long before Britain’s white apocalypse, there will be a one party system, with the Labour Party, the party of migrants, gaining complete power and becoming unstoppable. Even by the next British election, there may be 120 seats with majority non-white, and most of these voters will be Labour.

     It is probably all over now for a political solution, just between you and me. Don’t tell anyone though, we would not want to demoralise them. Rather than hear all of this again from me, perhaps the impact may be greater by watching the video. There will be profound effects upon Australia, because Britain itself could well become a republic, which would make Australia a de facto republic unless the former king or queen decided to take up residence in Australia. It is more likely though that the republic push in Australia would become irresistible like the same sex marriage vote, where people just gave in, even if otherwise they might have opposed it.

     It seems that NASA are about to spend a whole heap of money in the search for alien life:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-12/congress-planning-spend-millions-search-aliens-ufos

“Now, the U.S. House of Representatives has proposed a bill that includes $10 million in NASA funding for the next two years “to search for technosignatures, such as radio transmissions, in order to meet the NASA objective to search for life’s origin, evolution, distribution, and future in the universe.” Such technosignatures would come in the form of radio waves that have the telltale features of being produced by TV- or radio-type technologies. An intelligent civilization could also produce those signals intentionally to communicate with other civilizations like ours. “If it passes, it would definitely be a sea-change in Congressional attitude since Sen. Bryan terminated NASA’s SETI program, the High Resolution Microwave Survey, in 1993,” Tarter told Live Science in an email. She added that the funding seems to be an extension of the efforts of Rep. Lamar Smith, R–Texas, to bring attention to the search for life beyond Earth when he was the chairman of the House Science Committee. (Smith, who announced that he will retire at the end of his term this year, is a known denier of human-caused climate change.)

Dear Editor

     Many would agree that the cities cannot cope with more migrants since the un-natural population increase has tested infrastructure to the limit.  Evidence of this can be witnessed mornings and late afternoons where city streets are grid-locked with traffic.  Add the inadequacies of hospitals, for example, and one can see why the Big End of town now wish more migrants to be sent to country areas. While country towns have generally seen a decline in population, they will not want more people just for the sake of it.  Where there is an need for workers, more will be accepted provided they are willing. More people collecting welfare will not be a benefit.

     It seems that we here in Australia may no longer have to eagerly await the weekly addition of the latest zombie adventure coming to our TV from America, but we will have our own flesh-eating plague, soon:
  http://www.collapse.news/2018-05-11-a-flesh-eating-disease-is-spreading-in-australia.html 
  https://www.livescience.com/62321-buruli-ulcer-australia.html 
  https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/apr/16/tissue-destroying-ulcer-frequently-found-in-africa-spreading-rapidly-in-australia 

“A frightening flesh-eating disease is currently making its way across Australia, and puzzled scientists and officials aren’t sure how to stop this mysterious condition from wreaking havoc. Cases of an infection known as Buruli ulcer have spiked in recent years in the country, rising 150 percent from 74 cases in 2013 to 186 in 2016. It shows no signs of slowing down; last year saw a projected 286 cases. The infection causes unsightly skin ulcers that destroy the skin and the soft tissue around it. Complicating matters is the fact that scientists aren’t sure how it is spread or how to prevent it. They know it is caused by the Mycobacterium ulcerans bacterium, which is in the same family as the microbes behind leprosy and tuberculosis – hardly a comforting thought. It creates a toxin that destroys the tissue and creates big ulcers that are typically seen on the arms and legs.

     Here is yet another puzzling effect found in psychological science, and perhaps elsewhere; the decline effect, that the size of an effect decreases after repeated replications:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_effect

J. W. Schooler, “Metascience Could Rescue the ‘Replication Crisis,’” Nature, vol. 515, 2014, p. 9. The decline effect was originally seen in psychological research, but it has now been found to extend to drug testing, where the effectiveness of some drug diminishes over time, and even in the behaviour of non-human animals. There are many proposed explanations of the decline effect, and no doubt specific factors may be at work in different  fields of science. For example, the decline effect in the effectiveness of certain anti-psychotic drugs may be a real decline in effectiveness as people adapt to them over time. Nevertheless, it is also possible that we may be seeing here something of a generalised Heisenberg uncertainty effect, where observing the universe and measuring it, actually changes the universe: even in physics, measurements of the charge of electrons and a constant governing the decay of neutrons have exhibited the decline effect as John Horgan states:

     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.”

     I don’t know who this musician is, but he made an insightful comment on the racism mania of the multicult. Included is a link to his music. Now all I need is Arnie’s computer skills in getting rid of the black highlight around the text:

MORRISSEY: People accuse, yes, but they can’t penetrate or illuminate. The sole point of all of those NME slurs was to turn my audience against me. I recall one NME piece many years ago which addressed its readers with ”we just can’t turn you off him, can we ?”. That said it all. And as far as racism goes, the modern Loony Left seem to forget that Hitler was Left wing! But of course, we are all called racist now, and the word is actually meaningless. It’s just a way of changing the subject. When someone calls you racist, what they are saying is ”hmm, you actually have a point, and I don’t know how to answer it, so perhaps if I distract you by calling you a bigot we’ll both forget how enlightened your comment was.”

     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.

     With Britain in a virtual state of multicult civil war, if not social chaos, with the breakdown of the rule of law, the multicult fascist state is responding by using the iron fist upon conservative white Britons. This is know as anarcho-tyranny: anarchy and chaos at the social level, tolerated if it is not caused by whites, but rigid state control of dissenting thought, not just on race and immigration, but now on everything:

“The United Kingdom’s Sentencing Council has proposed Orwellian new guidelines that would make it a criminal offense to engage in free speech online whenever doing so might offend people who aren’t white or who belong to the cult of LGBT. Reports reveal how the Sentencing Council is actively advocating that the perpetrators of online “hate” posts, as it’s calling them, be sentenced to prison time. Social media users who share or even just comment on posts dealing with race or LGBT issues, for instance, would face a minimum six-month prison sentence, while the authors of such posts would face up to three years in prison. Pretty much any online content that’s deemed as in any way contributing to the “stirring” up of hatred towards racial, religious, or sexual “minority” groups is potentially subject to the harsh punishments being pushed by the U.K.’s Sentencing Council as part of its continued efforts to control what people say and do online.”

     Yes, another shooting here in  the US. It was getting near the time when one would expect the Deep State to either rollout another psy-ops, or alternatively, for some kid on Big Pharma meds, to flip a switch and go mad:
  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/santa-fe-high-school-shooting-suspect-idd-as-dimitrios-pagourtzis-live-updates-today-2018-5-18/

“The suspect in a Friday’s deadly Texas high school shooting has been identified as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said 10 people were killed and 10 others wounded in the shooting Friday morning at Santa Fe High School south of Houston. The suspected shooter, who was in custody, also had explosive devices, including a molotov cocktail, that were found in the school and nearby, said Gov. Greg Abbott, who called the assault “one of the most heinous attacks that we’ve ever seen in the history of Texas schools.” Police found pressure cookers and pipe bombs around the school, one law enforcement source told CBS News.

     Let us catch this one before, like most pollution, it just disappears into the environment, making the world a wee bit more toxic:

  http://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/05/17/tucker-carlson/

“Left-wing journalists conceded on Thursday that President Donald Trump had referred to MS-13, not immigrants in general, as “animals,” but still argued that Trump was racist — or that he was to blame for their own failures to provide accurate context.” Well, what has this violent Latino gang got up to that the left are defending, remembering that much of the left still defends the communist revolution?

     Contrary to all the textbooks pushed in social sciences courses to brainwash the young at universities, multiculturalism is not about ethnic diversity within the existing liberal-democratic framework. Multiculturalism, after mass immigration gets past a critical point, becomes changing the system and replacing the previous majority with a new majority, and tossing out institutions like the liberal/democratic rule of law, and replacing them with something new and sinister, a “rough beast,” to use William Butler Yeat’s phrase, that we have not clearly seen yet. It does not happen overnight, but it is the inevitability of Fabian gradualism:
  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/21/report-slams-uk-failure-prosecute-fgm-abuse-europe/

“A report has slammed the “national scandal” of the UK failing to prosecute a single child abuser committing or enabling Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), saying it shows the system is failing to fight the practice, which is associated with some migrant groups. The document, produced by the Quilliam Foundation, claims “Britain remains alone in Europe in its inability to prosecute FGM” and examines different explanations, including “a lack of witnesses”, “cultural sensitivity”, and the “existence of legal loopholes”. It highlights figures showing that, in 2016-2017 alone, 5,391 new cases of FGM were recorded in the UK, but authorities failed to bring a single perpetrator of FGM to justice. Altogether, around 9,000 women sought National Health Service (NHS) help because of the practice in that 12 month period.”

     I am pleased to be holidaying in Australia taking a break from the dangers of living in the United States, which is now in a state of virtual civil war. Young Chris Knight, whom I knew from America as a student, invited me to write some papers in my spare time while here, which I am pleased to do. See, no rest for the good, as well as the wicked. My interest, as a Christian who believes in the literal truth of the Holy Scriptures is that science has been in many ways a threat to Biblical belief, in ways that are often subtle. Evolution is not subtle, nor is mechanistic accounts of the mind, which eliminate free will and the soul, but a subtle metaphysical threat is posed by certain so-called advances in mathematics, especially the theory of infinity, which in a sense deconstructs one of the divine attributes. If infinity is tamed and is just another mathematical object, as in the theory of transfinite set theory, then it is that much easier, along with the materialist baggage of the modern physical sciences, to abandon God. Who needs that hypothesis, Laplace said to Napoleon:
  https://www.quantumdiaries.org/2011/09/16/there-is-no-need-for-god-as-a-hypothesis/

     There is a current of thought which takes it that mathematics is the path to God, because God is Logos, and mathematics is allegedly Logos incarnate. Certainly, Jesus Christ, as a person of the Trinity, is an incarnation of the divine Logos that formed the universe, but it is drawing a long bow to therefore identify the divine Logos with an imperfect instrument such as mathematics. In these papers I explain why by illustrating some of the many theoretical limitations of logic and mathematics, and paradoxes and antinomies. This to my mind breaks the classical link which theologians have made with mathematics and the Divine.
