The welfare of Australians is threatened by intolerant authoritarianism from left-wing agitators and corporate shysters. This can be seen in the defacing of a statue of Captain Cook, in uninvited graffiti in public spaces, in corporations adopting partisan positions in controversies and thus treating non-like-minded employees unfairly, and in professional bodies in law and medicine doing the same - to say nothing of some churches or church groups.
Why should this be? It seems that people find the taking up of causes to give meaning to their own lives - this is medicine for the illnesses of boredom and personal frustration. Having become too attached to their causes, they then experience any contradiction as a source of aggression against themselves and become ruthless in trying to obliterate it.
Only a renewed awareness within society of the truth of sacred tradition and the value of sanctified ethical codes can provide a solution to this political evil.

A supermarket in Germany has made a statement about “racism,” by removing all foreign groceries from its shelves:

See, there is nothing left, and you all would starve! Keep up the experiment for a year, just to show how ideologically pure you are.
Nevertheless, contrary to this, I think that the message delivered is exactly the opposite. It shows how foreign domination amounts to a form of economic imperialism, which is “racism,” to use that meaningless, catch-all word. Perform the same circus trick in an African country and you get the same result. Do these chatterers want to label oppressed Africans as “racists”? Surely not. Hence, refuted, QED.

The latest street violence in America, at the Berkeley conservative Patriot Prayer Group Protest Against Marxism in America, clearly showed that it is the Left who are the ones seeking a violent overthrow of society, or maybe they just want to destroy for destruction’s sake? There were no so-called “racists” and/or Alt Right at the rally at all, but still the antifa went mad. Here are photos of them having their usual temper tantrums:

The organiser of the rally is apparently transgender and politically correct, except for being against Marxism:

Italy has done its fair, or unfair share, of passing migrants onto the once Nordic Northern Europe, especially Germany:
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/829232/Italian-Government-asylum-seekers-200-000-EU-visas-Schengen-scheme-travel
Now, Italy is set to let 200,000 migrants head to the UK. But, Italy has been allowing the migrant flow for some time:
https://www.thelocal.it/20160429/germany-joins-austria-to-press-italy-on-migrant-influx
https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/06/the-invasion-of-italy/, reporting on Italy’s decriminalising illegal immigration, and with its policies of encouraging illegals, helping to fuel the immigration crisis.
Italy, though, will face demographic extinction problems of its own, as a study, “How Immigration is Changing Italian Demographics,” http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/20/report-immigration-crisis-causing-unprecedented-shift-in-italys-demographics/ shows:
We are told that race does not exist, unless you are White, which does not exist, being a social construct, unless you protest, and then you are a “White supremacist’:
http://takimag.com/article/where_are_all_the_white_supremacists_jim_goad/print#axzz4r69or9WT
Why, Jared Taylor over at American Renaissance, holds that East Asians are superior to Whites (based on a few IQ studies, which we have refuted at this site), as Goad puts it, which makes the magazine a bit useless (it should be defending East Asians and letting inferiors like his kind meet their fate). But, Jared, for all of his infinite qualifications and moderation of his site, gets treated by the System, just like the radicals he desperately tries to differentiate himself from, as a “white supremacist”! Gasp! As Jim Goad would say, in his journalistic street lingo, “that plain sucks.” Yeah, it sure does, Jared.
Back to reality, turning to the real news site, The New York Times, there is this article: “Even With Affirmative Action, Blacks and Hispanics Are More Underrepresented at Top Colleges Than 35 Years Ago”: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/us/affirmative-action.html Here is the basics of this:
Socialist film maker Michael Moore has said that he is looking forward to the day when Whites are a minority in America: https://www.fastcompany.com/40459122/michael-moore-says-trump-is-on-track-to-win-again-in-2020. He seems to think, if that is the word, that when Whites are a minority in America, the Democrats will be eternally in power and will establish a socialist paradise, or something along those lines.
Moore’s position is deluded on many levels, as the better argument is that civil war will occur, and is already occurring. Moore’s worldview does not permit taking in facts, such as the largely unreported war between Blacks and Hispanics in many US suburbs. But, I don’t want to discuss ethno-race issues here.
I have nothing against transgender people – some of my best friends are transgender. It means having blue hair, doesn’t it? There are lots of such ladies in the nursing home I visit, where I get to talk to them, and eat their scrap sandwiches, or is that sandwich scraps? Or, just scraps? I hope that I have got my facts right and are not making a fool of myself. But, then, using comas with precision, how would that be even possible?
Well, some transgender folk in America have hearts that are not filled with the warmth and love for all humanity that I have:

Consider transgender reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner, who, I was utterly amazed to learn, supports President Donald Trump. See, she is a good person, and all those internet jokes are just sick. Anyway, she said that Trump was “very much behind the LGBT community.” Truly amazing.
As my research and writing focus is on feminism and related issues, I read neo-masculinity sites like Matt Forney and Roosh v. There are some very good articles, some bad ones, but most, well, it’s just another day on the internet. On the more “intellectual” sites we sometimes find articles on the “women problem,’ with this example from Émile Durand: https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/07/faustian-civilization-and-the-new-patriarchy/
The message is that women need to give white men a break from the female version of the cultural wars so that the process of civilisation-building can go on. Otherwise, well, things will fall apart.
Reflecting on the LGBTI – have I forgotten any letters – Kevin Donnelly says: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/opinion/wear-it-purple-day-and-other-culturalleft-moves-sending-us-puce/news-story/7c3252539f51320173ef3ab78aa38718
“Given the re-emergence of the Safe Schools program, a NSW primary school putting on a Stolen Generations play where children dress as nuns and victimise Aboriginal children, and the Australian Education Union’s campaign to promote the LGBTI Wear it Purple Day, there’s no doubt that the cultural left now dominates our education system.
Here is a good article about feminism’s anti-biology ideology, that sex/gender differences don’t exist, except for those which feminism finds politically useful to admit: http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/.
On a practical level, here in Australia we have women having to complete only FOUR pushups as a component of their physical for the Australian army, as part of a campaign to double the number of female troops. This is clear discrimination, and an open admission that females have, in general less upper-body strength than males. The same madness of physical dumbing down is occurring in the fire brigade, where the need to carry people from burning buildings could endanger lives:

North Korea has fired a missile over Japan, and as you can imagine the usually polite Japanese are pretty upset about this. “We are normally polite, but we think that the North Koreans are very rude firing their ICBM waste over our side of the fence,” the Japanese Prime Minister, Bruce Lee, said. Or, words to that effect. And that may not be his name. It could be Malcolm Shinzo Abe Turnbull. Whatever – I know their frustrations, having flung missiles of rubbish over my long-suffering neighbour’s fence: “Uncle Len, I am normally polite, but I find it very rude of you to fire your waste over our side of the fence,” my neighbour said, before ringing the police, after throwing a rock at me, which hit me on the head. It did not hurt. (Why?)
Well, the “police” are set to come, with “Asian war”: The Australian, august 30, 2017, p. 1. Yippeeeeee! Whatever has taken you New World Order guys so long to get to the next great killing? Not having experienced the salty, sweet taste of mass blood money for so long must be hard when you are a globalist vampire. (Don’t worry, I am not getting political, I saw someone use this metaphor on an internet site and just thought that I would hurl it into the pot for extra nutrients.)

The marriage debate is getting ugly, as Bill Shorten and others predicted it would, but the ugliness seems to be largely coming from fanatical ‘yes’ advocates. Vilification of defenders of traditional marriage appears to be widespread and intense (‘Pastors threatened after false claim’, 31/8) and corporate and professional bodies are misusing their status to the detriment of dissenting members (‘Law dean demands retreat on Yes vote’, 31/8).
The unattractive nature of ‘Mardi Gras’ marches in recent years was a forewarning of this sort of behaviour. One is reminded of ancient advice about keeping evil genies bottled up and not opening Pandora’s boxes. The biblical saying ‘by their fruit shall ye know them’ is also relevant. If the plebiscite goes ahead, let us hope there will be sufficient Australians who see that ‘same sex marriage’ is a bridge too far.

Catholic clergy who are defending traditional marriage are not, as Michelle Goldsmith implies (31/8), thereby making ‘unhelpfully inhumane pronouncements’. They are seeking to protect children, to safeguard society and to preserve a fundamental institution that has stood the test of time. Dianne Young is also mistaken (31/8) in applying the term ‘dresses’ to robes worn in many cultures around the world. In our culture ‘dresses’ at once connotes attire worn by girls and women.
One senses that defenders of same-sex marriage are becoming a little desperate when such silly remarks are offered. The aggressive hysteria emanating from other ‘yes’ partisans strengthens this suspicion and is in line with the worrying ugliness of ‘Mardi Gras’ parades held in recent years. Tradition tells that evil genies are best kept in bottles and that Pandora’s boxes should not be opened. This may well apply to the marriage debate.

Your article in the Advertiser today, in support of Same Sex Marriage is another disappointing contribution from the sources we expect to be promoting the virtues of traditional marriage which is so definitely described in the Bible.
You must be a product of the very clever and subtle brainwashing that has been evident over the last thirty or more years. Just think back to your parent’s time and try to imagine church leaders advocating SSM being welcomed in the community - even where the clergy would assist with the ceremonies!
Why should the church reverse its policy? Will it soon be acceptable or even good to steal?
You mention our multi-cultural society and how it has resulted in the need for change. If such a policy requires a Christian based society to change its fundamentals; then it is a pity our political and spiritual leaders did not forsee the problem and resist multi-culturalism. We have been so weak in defending our Christian culture that the ‘multicults’ have used the opportunity, wherever there was a chink in our armour, to inject contrary ideas.
We all know, as conservatives that a successful “Yes” vote in the coming plebiscite will involve as yet unknown erosions of freedoms, especially religious freedoms: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/inquirer/yes-side-in-marriage-debate-ignores-the-implications-for-freedoms/news-story/b119dbc7f7cad9f773f7f8ac7eef926d.
Once same sex marriage is in, a fanatical politically correct Labor will push things to the next level, with a LGBTI taxpayer funded watch dog, like the present system for racial thought control, which will view any debate as hate speech. Laws will be changed to make race hate encompass LGBTI issues. Then, they will move to the next level, and the level after that, and on and on, until traditionalists are crushed under the boot. It reminds me of the scene from the old Spider-Man 1 movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAfxBXAQCZM.
According to this news site, perhaps the best for what is happening in the US and coming our way:
http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/09/01/federal-judge-blocks-texas-ban-dismemberment-abortion/
a Texas judge has temporarily blocked a Texas law that banned second trimester dismemberment abortions in which unborn babies are “torn limb from limb” and then extracted from the uterus.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel held that Planned Parenthood and the other plaintiffs satisfied a requirement for the temporary injunction showing that “threatened injury to the Plaintiffs outweighs any damage that the temporary restraining order might cause the State.” The plaintiffs maintained that the new law blocked women’s access to abortions, which is the big feminist issue, next to “equal pay” and affirmative action all round.
Trump, despite his weaknesses and clear limits, does a few things right (but most wrong). Pardoning former US sheriff Joe Arpaio, who fought against illegal Hispanic immigration, was one of his right moves: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/26/exclusive-joe-arpaio-hits-back-at-john-mccain-declares-after-pardon-im-not-going-away/.
The system was going after Joe on a technicality, but that is closed now. Naturally, John McCain, attacked this, like he does anything which is not ultra-liberal, but who cares anymore?
to THE AGE
Current attacks on the celebration of Australia Day are too often misleading. Gregory Smithers (‘January 26 has long been a political catalyst’, 24/8) focuses on ‘white privilege’ but neglects to consider white achievement in our history. Ordinary Aussies are not superficial, as he suggests they are, to see the attacks as destructive of ‘the myths and symbols that give meaning to collective national identity.’ And the ‘changing of political power’ in the nation is a matter of deep concern for lovers of traditional Australia. It smacks of incipient totalitarianism.
As for John Armstrong’s generalizing reference (Letters, 24/8) to ‘white settlers’ seeing Aboriginals as ‘part of the fauna’, it is a grossly unjust insult for which no adequate evidence exists at all.
NJ, Belgrave, Vic
to THE AUSTRALIAN
Coalition MPs such as George Brandis and Christopher Pyne, who are claiming (‘Religious rights threat in state laws’, 24/8) that the coming postal vote is about nothing else than ‘allowing gay couples to wed’, are doing further damage to their party by such an inaccurate, head-in-the-sand approach.
Sufficient evidence has now come to light, both from overseas experience and analyses of Australian laws, to show that a ‘yes’ vote will lead to a serious diminution of religious freedom in the nation, unless very great care is taken beforehand to adjust and introduce legal protections for adherents of religions and other persons motivated by conscience.
If the High Court allows the postal vote to proceed, there should be an immediate bipartisan declaration by the PM and Leader of the Opposition that, whatever the result, no change to our marriage law will be legislated until satisfactory protections are in place.

Heard the one about the oh-so-pure politicians, who advocate anti-racist, non-discriminatory everything – except for one thing – their own perks:

The Libtards are hoping to save $ 3.6 billion, plus get lots of extra yummy tax, as those who are unlucky enough to have a job will now work until they die. Hey, maybe if we abolished the government, philosophical anarchism-style, we could save even more! Look, some people think that this can be done:
