Jewish comic writer,  Stan Lee, or his birth name, Stanley Lieber, along with artist, jack Kirby (real name Jacob Kurtzberg), created  many of Marvel’s major heroes and villains, in the 1960s “silver age’ of comics. There have been disputes over the years about who did what, with Kirby and Steve Ditko being bitter about Lee’s treatment of them. Both left Marvel; Kirby came back briefly then left again. Talk about job satisfaction. And, there were the law suits.

     Recently Lee’s world seemed to have been falling apart with a sexual assault lawsuit and other hassles of being rich. So, it was probably a good time to leave this veil of tears for warmer climates, maybe visiting super-friends from other dimensions.

     This is a brief review of a tremendous new book by Professor Augusto Zimmerman, Christian Foundations of the Common Law: Australia, (Connor Court Publishing, 2018), which is the third volume in the series on the Christian foundations of the common law, and no doubt, the one volume potentially of most interest to readers, for obvious reasons. Professor Moens in his introduction to this book says that  Australian society has become secularised,  and that there is a danger of legal students, and the public, losing the historical sense of the close connection between Christianity and the evolution of the common law in Australia. This volume serves to remind us all of the glory of the past, and the potentials (and threats) for the future, if only we can “maintain the faith.” Perhaps the allusion here is to Paul’s great saying: 

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing”: 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

     Following the home invasion attack upon the home of Fox news’ Tucker Carlson, the mainstream false news globalist-fanatic media, have responded in pain to a PayPal ban on antifa, which they insist cannot by any stretch of the imagination be compared to the terrible Alt Lite Proud Boys, who fight back against antifa in protests:
  https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/nov/09/paypal-proud-boys-antifa-ban-gavin-mcinnes-criticism

     I will spare you the Left wing argument, and go straight to critique. There are so many cases of antifa fighting, bashing, sucker punching people, that the claim has no credibility. A petition to the White House, for formal recognition of antifa as a terrorist group, which required 100,000 signatures received 368, 423 and a pathetic response by the ever-weak President Donald Duck.

     Some Mexicans are almost as eager as the global communist elite, to transform the US into Atzlan, a part of Mexico, so much so that they are transporting illegals to the border, hoping that they will be in time to vote in the US elections:
  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/migrant-caravan-veracruz-miguel-angel-yunes-offers-transportation-today-2018-11-2/

“After three grueling weeks walking along highways and hitching rides in pickups and flatbed trucks, thousands of Central American migrants traveling in a caravan through southern Mexico learned Friday that they would soon be leapfrogging ahead to the nation's capital in buses. Meanwhile in the U.S., President Trump has made the caravan a key election issues, telling crowds "this will be the election of the caravan." As the caravan crossed into the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, Gov. Miguel Angel Yunes announced that authorities there would be providing not only humanitarian assistance but also offering mass transportation for the migrants. "It is very important that they be able to move soon from Veracruz toward another place," Yunes said in a video message released in the evening. "For that reason, we also offered them transportation so that, if possible, tomorrow ... they may be able to go to Mexico City or to the place they wish."

     If you don’t know who Pamela Anderson is, don’t Google it if you are scared of silicon. However, while being something of a top-heavy Barbie doll, Pamela Anderson has made much sense in her recent attack on modern insane feminism:
  https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2018/11/04/pamela-anderson-third-wave-of-feminism-paralyses-men/

“Feminism can go too far. I'm a feminist, but I think that this third wave of feminism is a bore. I think it paralyses men.” Pamela Anderson criticises the #MeToo movement, warning women to use “common sense” @PamFoundation #60Mins.” ““I think that this Me Too movement is a bit too much for me. I’m sorry, I’ll probably get killed for saying that…but my mother taught me, don’t go to a hotel with a stranger,” she also said. The Baywatch star also said that her time as a Playboy model was “very empowering” and that “no one forced me to do anything.” This isn’t the first time that Anderson has made comments about the #MeToo movement. In December, the 51-year-old sparked controversy for saying that some of the alleged victims who came forward in the #MeToo era could have made better choices. “Don’t go into a hotel room alone. If someone answers the door in a bathrobe, leave. These are things that are common sense, but I know Hollywood is very seductive and that people want to be famous,” she said.”

     Here is news that even I, who am well up on the pollution of the world, both physical and metaphysical, found disturbing; we are literally becoming polluted with so much plastic that it is now invading our very bodies:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-11-05-all-our-bodies-are-filled-with-plastic.html 
  https://www.wired.com/story/your-poop-is-probably-full-of-plastic/

“Today at the United European Gastroenterology meeting in Vienna, researchers announced they have detected microplastics in stool samples from every single one of a small group of international test subjects. "Plastics are pervasive in everyday life and humans are exposed to plastics in numerous ways," said Philipp Schwable, a gastroenterologist at the Medical University of Vienna, who led the study, via email. And yet, even he did not expect that every poo would test positive. The pilot study tested eight subjects from eight different countries: Austria, Italy, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, and the UK. Each maintained a food diary the week before donating their stools, which they deposited in glass jars, wrapped in biohazard bags, and shipped in cardboard boxes marked "Biological Substance, Category B" to the Environment Agency Austria for analysis.

     Although the Left are violent, on an individual basis, they are weak. One-on-one, they seldom can deal with their Right opponents, not that anyone should be naughty and fighting anyway (bad, bad, illegal etc.), but this is simply my professional observation from YouTube pondering and viewing. However, there may be a scientific explanation for this, that stronger, muscular men, tend to be more conservative, if not Right wing:

“Men with large upper bodies have a tendency to favour inequality in society and a limited redistribution of resources. This is the conclusion drawn by Professor Michael Bang Petersen and Associate Professor Lasse Laustsen from the Department of Political Science in a study published in the journal, Political Psychology. "The results challenge the belief that our political views are formed by logic and reason alone. Instead, our views seemingly reflect intuitions produced by a Stone Age mind," says Michael Bang Petersen. Modern man thinks with his caveman brain. The new study concerns humans, but takes a theoretical starting point in one of the most well-documented findings in the study of animals: Physical strength shapes the conflict behaviour of animals. If animals are larger and stronger than their rivals, they are prone to attempt to assert themselves in the struggle for status and resources. However, if they are weaker than their rivals, they are likely to withdraw from the conflict. According to the latest research results from Aarhus BSS, the same logic applies to modern men when they reason about political conflicts regarding the redistribution of resources in society.

     There is the future of high school education in multicultralia: teacher student fistfights:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=136&v=lKlUfhU199E 
  https://edition.cnn.com/2018/11/04/us/california-teacher-punches-student/index.html

“A teacher and student at a southeast Los Angeles, California, high school came to blows Friday afternoon, and it was all caught on video. The footage from CNN affiliates KTLA-TV and KCAL shows Maywood Academy High School music teacher Marston Riley, 64, standing face to face with a 14-year-old boy at the front of a classroom when Riley punches him. It's at this point the two begin exchanging punches. The boy wound up on the ground wrapping his arms around Riley's leg. Riley, at this point, repeatedly punches him. The brawl ends with students and what appears to be a campus resource officer trying to separate the two, but Riley continues to pursue the student. It is not clear when the short video started and if it caught the entire exchange. Students told KTLA the fight began after Riley asked the student to leave the class because he wasn't wearing the proper uniform. The boy refused, students said, and video taken by another student shows the boy shouting profanity and a racial slur at Riley, who is black. The boy, who has not been identified, was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for moderate injuries and later released, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Riley was arrested on charges of child abuse, the release said. He posted bond and was released Saturday. Riley has an arraignment scheduled for November 30.”

     This is one of those stories that you need to check multiple times to make sure that your chronic insomnia has not led one into error. Macron does believe that both the US and Russia are enemies:
  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/emmanuel-macron-european-army-france-russia-us-military-defence-eu-a8619721.html?utm_source=reddit.com

“Emmanuel Macron has called for the creation of a “true European army” to allow the EU defend itself from threats ranging from Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. The French president has pushed for closer EU defence union since coming to power last year but has been so far met with limited success amid foot-dragging by other member states. “We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” Mr Macron told France’s Europe 1 radio in an interview.

     Talk about snowflakes! In the US, and maybe here soon, everybody from the Left seems to be suffering psycho-damage from the rough and tough world of politics:

“With a team of researchers, she surveyed 769 introductory psychology students at Arizona State University in January and February 2017, asking about their satisfaction with the 2016 election, whether they were upset about the outcome and whether the results of the race had affected their close relationships. The results were published Monday in an article, “Event-related clinical distress in college students: Responses to the 2016 U.S. Presidential election,” in the Journal of American College Health, a bimonthly, peer-reviewed public health journal. The article finds that 25 percent of students had “clinically significant event-related distress,” which it argues can predict future distress as well as diagnoses of PTSD, commonly associated with veterans and defined by the Mayo Clinic as “a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it.” The research speaks to the personal toll of partisan battles, and it offers insight into the perspective of young Americans coming to political consciousness in the era of President Trump.”

     In the run up to the elections, Big Tech did what they could for the globalist team against Trump:

  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/11/06/facebook-blocks-115-accounts-for-coordinated-inauthentic-behavior-ahead-of-midterm-elections/

“Social media giant Facebook has blocked 115 accounts suspected of “coordinated inauthentic behavior” across both Facebook and Instagram ahead of the midterm elections. ABC News reports that ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, Facebook has blocked a number of accounts across both Facebook and Instagram. In a blog post the company stated: “On Sunday evening, U.S. law enforcement contacted us about online activity that they recently discovered and which they believe may be linked to foreign entities,” said Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher. “We immediately blocked these accounts and are now investigating them in more detail.” The company reportedly blocked 30 accounts on Facebook and another 85 on Instagram. The blocked Facebook pages reportedly communicated mainly in French and Russian although the majority of accounts on Instagram were English-speaking. “Typically, we would be further along with our analysis before announcing anything publicly,” Gleicher said. “But given that we are only one day away from important elections in the U.S., we wanted to let people know about the action we’ve taken and the facts as we know them today.”

     Who does not have a sense of battle fatigue and bone deep weariness, from the normie sheeple just not taking a stand, doing nothing, as they go about their grazing? I am thinking of the people we meet in the street, nice enough, but lacking in the basic survival instinct of seeking protection against wolves, and having a child-like faith that the government will protect them, when in reality, the government serves the interests of the capitalist super-class and the Dark Lords behind even them.

“Australia follows Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Singapore in ratifying the TPP, which also involves Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Malaysia, Peru and Vietnam. The deal almost fell over when the United States pulled out, but Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull resurrected it. "This is a great and enduring achievement for free trade in the face of a rising tide of protectionism in many countries," Mr Turnbull tweeted. "Thanks especially to @AbeShinzo - we resolved to get this deal done in Sydney nearly two years ago as we walked around the cliffs at South Head." Labor backed the legislation for the TPP despite raising concerns it needed stronger labour market testing and could allow foreign companies to sue the government. The opposition was forced to defend its support for the agreement, which sparked internal tensions and angered the union movement.”

To The Australian        Greg Sheridan correctly notes ("Conservatives world over lose winning culture", 10-11/11) that "the real elephant in the room of conservative defeat is the decline of religious belief" and that "you cannot sustain a conservative culture in the face of the collapse of transcendent belief." Why then is there so little discussion in our national forums of the profound adjustments to Christian theology (much greater than those of the Reformation of 500 years ago) that are needed and that can lead to a renewal of sacred understanding in our culture? On another aspect of the diminution of conservative influence in Western nations Sheridan is regrettably obsequious. He dismisses scathingly "white identity politics", but one essential ingredient of conservative philosophy is respect and affection for one's ethnic group and the heritage it has bequeathed. Conservatives have been too easily paralysed by the "serpent's eye" of anti-racism fanatics.

     The US elections went basically as predicted, with the Democrats gaining the House, but the Trumpster Republicans getting a firm grip on the all-important Senate, which unlike the Senate in Australia, has real teeth. This is therefore, overall a victory for Trump, but also a clear wakeup call, as even the neo-cons are saying that the Democrat victories were because of changing US demographics, that is, that the country is becoming majority  non-white, and quicker than academics predicted:

     The boys referred me to an article reviewing US academic Stephen Baskerville’s book, The New Politics of Sex, (Angelico Press, 2017) by F. Roger Devlin, “The Criminalization of masculinity.” This is a good over view of the standard evils that feminism has delivered, and how the sexual revolution has harmed men, and led to the degradation of sex. But what caught my eye was the move by feminists to make  heterosexual relations sex into rape, something the radical  feminists in the 1970s only dreamt of. Here is what is happening on US university campuses:
  https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2018/11/07/the-criminalization-of-masculinity/

“For decades, feminists have assiduously promoted the lie that one woman in four (sometimes five) is raped while attending university. “Reputable scholars who investigate [such] claims,” writes Baskerville, “readily conclude that it is not simply exaggerated but a hoax.” At most, a lot of women, unprotected by traditional behavioral expectations, are learning the hard way that fornication is not the path to happiness. When such cases were brought before ordinary courts of law, they quickly got thrown out. So universities began, under feminist pressure, to establish internal procedures to handle accusations of sexual misconduct. These do not have to abide by the principles that govern ordinary courts of law, notably the presumption of innocence. One attorney cited by Baskerville describes the result as a disciplinary procedure where students nearly always lack lawyers, no legally trained judge oversees the process, testimony is not under oath, hearsay is freely considered, relevant evidence or even proper notice of the charges may not be given to both parties, students may be forced to incriminate themselves, and whatever “jury” is empaneled may not be of one’s peers.

     The Neocons may be worse that the Left, but at this late stage of degeneracy, who knows? What is clear is that there is now a clear division, not between Left and Right, but between the nationalist, who favour localism, and non-collectivistic policies, and the New World Order, generally communist/cultural Marxist globalists. These globalists range from the antifa types, right up to the vampire, raceless, faceless, super-capitalist class, that control the global economy through the black magic of finance. America is a clear example of the “great divide,” where 50 percent of the sheeple elected openly socialist candidates:

     The Trump administration is throwing the politically correct into a tailspin, with its move to accept that there are only two genders, and that these are biologically defined. That means that there are not an infinite number of genders, as the radical Left proposes:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-11-08-delusional-left-gender-not-determined-by-biological-anatomy.html

“Though it’s still a rumor, reports indicate that President Trump is planning to establish solid guidelines that define gender “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” In other words, “male” and “female” would be the only genders allowable on the “spectrum,” restoring the true binary definition of sex that’s existed since the beginning of time. It’s common sense to those with the ability to think rationally. But to the Left, it’s discrimination and (fill -in-the-blank)-phobia. Anyone who subscribes to the notion that humans only come in two varieties, man and woman, is a bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic racist, according to the deranged Left.

     The Pacific Ocean … calm, peaceful, but soon … radioactive:

“Government authorities in Japan have announced new plans to start dumping highly radioactive wastewater from the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility directly into the Pacific Ocean. Though the amount of radiation in the water far exceeds legally-permitted levels, according to the plant’s operator and documents reviewed by the U.K.’s Telegraph, there’s apparently no other place to put it at the site, which is on the verge of seeing its storage capacity completely maxed out. Reports indicate that approximately 1.09 million tons of contaminated water currently being stored inside 900 tanks at Fukushima will soon be drained in the Pacific in order to make more space for new water, a move that’s sparking outrage among local residents and a number of environmental organizations that worry about what the vast contamination will do to the world’s largest body of water.”
