The Left’s support of Islam, including radical Islam, is now well know. It is therefore not surprising to hear that Jeremy Corbyn said that Islamophobia, the latest form of “racism’ is a major social problem. He said this at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London, where he gave a speech. And he said, not forgetting any one:

““The rise of extremist right-wing groups is a very serious threat not just to Muslims but to all minorities, and in fact to all Britons, and to the interwoven fabric that holds this country together. The way to combat this is to have open and frank dialogue; barring and banning can only breed further hate and division.”

     Parliaments, both state and federal have the power to confer judicial power on various tribunals. Today the vast number of tribunals that litter the judicial landscape do much of the heavy lifting in administrative and related fields of law: immigration review matters, guardianship law, consumer dispute issues, Centrelink review matters, and much more. Often tribunals have a flexibility that courts lack, with a review of the merits of the case, hearing it from the start, rather than just reviewing an issue of law. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal is a case, in reviewing Centrelink and other administrative matters.

     State parliaments can confer, or give, judicial power to State tribunals, but such tribunals cannot exercise Federal jurisdiction, that is, decide on “Federal; matters, because that would be contrary to the Constitution. However, there are areas where matters get tricky, such as seen in the case of Burns v Corbet; Gaynor v Burns [2017] NSWCA 3 (3 February 2017), where there is a dispute between residencts of two states, arising under state law determined by a State tribunal, the tribunal exercising judicial power, but  not being a Chapter III Court, as defined by the constitution. Is there an implied limitation on the legislative power of the State relative to sections 75 and 76 of the Constitution on such tribunals which are not Chapter III Courts? Is a State law which confers judicial power on such tribunals inconsistent with section 39 of the Judiciary Act 1903?

     I hated John, Paul George and goofy Ringo at the time, but, boy, I prefer them to the new Beatles:
  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5374285/Who-ISIS-Beatles-jihadis.html 

     Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, the remaining members of the notorious execution group nicknamed “The Beatles” were detained by US-allied Kurdish militia fighters in January this year. Mohammed Emwazi -  nicknamed Jihadi John - and Aine Davis, were called The Beatles as born in Britain, like the fab four, they had British accents.

     Who can forget B. Hussein Obama, former prezzy of the USA, and there are some Leftoids that still think that he is, or should be. Others opt for Queen bee Hillary.

     In any case famous people like this indulge in having their portraits painted by politically correct artists. Obama and wifey have had a paint job done by African American artists. Obama was painted by New York painter Kehinde Wiley, known for his naturalistic artwork depicting black people in heroic and triumphant poses, painted Obama seated in a sea of leaves. Weird, indeed.

     Facebook continues charging down the road of political correctness, with blocks imposed on various sites which it does not like:   https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104501954164561

As Zucky himself says: “For example, take the Wall Street Journal or New York Times. Even if you don’t read them or don’t agree with everything they write, most people have confidence that they’re high quality journalism. On the flip side, there are blogs that have intense followings but are not widely trusted beyond their core audience. We will show those publications somewhat less.”

     There has been yet another US mass shooting, this time as Nikolas Cruz gunned down 17 of his school “mates”:
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/fla-shooting-suspect-had-a-history-of-explosive-anger-depression-killing-animals/2018/02/15/06f05710-1291-11e8-9570-29c9830535e5_story.html?utm_term=.b927da28efea

     Cruz has a history of violence and depression, and like most other “postal’ shooters (mass killers), was probably being treated with strong psychiatric drugs such as Prozac. Nevertheless, the mainstream media, and even some alternative sites had reported that Cruz, part Hispanic was a “white nationalist” (although various white nationalist sites reject this):

     Whoaaha…this is a problem. There is a major philosophical clash between two intellectual giants, loved by all of us at this site: Jordan Peterson and that great defender of the West, Canadian academic Ricardo Duchesne:
   https://www.counter-currents.com/2018/02/jordan-petersons-rejection-of-identity-politics-allows-white-ethnocide/
  http://www.eurocanadian.ca/2018/02/jordan-petersons-rejection-of-identity-politics-equals-ethnocide-whites.html

     Peterson argues that he is not an Alt Righter because he rejects identity politics, and instead is a classical liberal believing in the rights of the individual. So far, so good. From this position he has done enormous good critiquing all matter of politically correct nonsense. But, there is a limitation to this, as Duchesne notes:

     I hope that most readers at this site have been poisoned at the thought of the modern university. I report the absurdities and injustices whenever material comes my way. The latest:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-02-15-bizarre-hiring-practices-prove-how-universities-are-now-social-justice-indoctrination-centers.html

“Over the past several years, we’ve seen America’s universities essentially turn into social justice training camps, where teaching about diversity is more important than U.S. history and making sure that all students have a safe space to turn to is more important than making sure they have the skills they need to be successful in “the real world.” It shouldn’t come as a surprise, therefore, that some schools are now hiring faculty members based solely on their commitment to social justice.

     I covered the issue of AI becoming super smart and replacing humans in a previous article. As a footnote to that I have noted that this article:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/father-of-artificial-intelligence-singularity-is-less-than-30-years-away_02152018  

     Many AI gurus are quoted as giving their predictions about the year when robots become smarter than humans. The worst case scenario is that this will happen by 2030, which is not too long away in apocalyptic terms. It is incredible that this problem has even arisen, which shows the danger of allowing science and technology to be under the control of the evil elites and forces of global capitalism.

     The Muhammad Code (Feral House, 2016), by Harold Bloom, continues his long-term research into war and human violence:
  https://www.amazon.com/Muhammad-Code-Desert-Prophet-Brought/dp/1627310363 

     In this highly readable, but still well-referenced book, Bloom details how Islam has pursued an agenda of conquest for 1,400 years. For example, by the time of the death of the prophet in 632 AD, Islam had conquered the biggest empire in history, an empire 11 times the size of the conquests of Alexander the Great, five times the size of the Roman Empire, and seven times the size of the United States.

     Another article commented about the Obama painting, but I came by this exposure of the painter, or alleged painter black, Kehinde Wiley:
  http://www.libtards.news/2018-02-13-black-artist-who-painted-the-official-obama-portrait-a-racist-say-critics.html  

“Unbeknownst to most Americans who were ogling over his paintings of the Obamas, revealed Monday at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., Wiley is known in the art underworld for two previous pieces that loosely reference a story in the Book of Judith, which involves a beautiful woman who seduces an invading Assyrian general and, before he is able to destroy their land, gets him drunk and decapitates him.

     The media, preoccupied with Trump, endless racism and the winter Olympics, have forgotten about North Korea, until now: 
  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/17/north-korean-un-envoy-says-nuclear-war-may-break-out-at-any-moment

“North Korea’s deputy UN ambassador has warned that the situation on the Korean peninsula “has reached the touch-and-go point and a nuclear war may break out any moment”. Kim In-ryong told the UN general assembly’s disarmament committee that North Korea is the only country in the world that has been subjected to “such an extreme and direct nuclear threat” from the United States since the 1970s and said the country has the right to possess nuclear weapons in self-defence.

     I have been reporting on the China threat for so long, and in so many articles, that I have run out of new titles. No matter:
  https://www.businessinsider.com.au/china-threat-to-america-fbi-director-warns-2018-2?r=US&IR=T 

“FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday reiterated a commonly held view among US intelligence officials that China is seeking to become a global superpower through unconventional means – but he framed it as both a governmental and a societal threat to the US. Speaking before the Senate Intelligence Committee alongside the heads of other US intelligence agencies, Wray said that to undermine the US’s military, economic, cultural, and informational power across the globe, China was using methods relying on more than just its state institutions.

     I do not understand exactly how this sort of computer foul up could occur, but I am aware, from the failure of the school computers, that there are unexplained gremlins in the system, and sometimes I think that computer science is not really a “science” but a modern form of witchcraft. There was a computer crash the first day back at school because one of the host servers crashed when two students went onto the same site, viewing the same video, presumably because bugs then got into the system, I think, but the tech guy does not know why:
  http://au.pcmag.com/news/51807/this-indian-character-symbol-can-crash-your-iphone 

“There’s a new iOS bug that can crash your iPhone. A symbol in the Indian language known as Telugu can wreak havoc over the software. iOS 11 will struggle to render it whenever the symbol is placed into a text field. Apps that try to do so will freeze and shut down. The problem gets worse when chat or email apps get involved. PCMag tried the bug on an iPad by sending it messages loaded with the Telugu symbol. Mayhem ensued.

     Seen any communist spies lately? Well for us Australians, probably our whole intellectual infrastructure is full of communist Chinese agents:
  http://www.canberratimes.com.au/national/public-service/the-art-of-influence-how-chinas-spies-operate-in-australia-20171203-gzxs06.html 
  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-25/government-very-conscious-foreign-interference-australian-unis/9082948 

     But, that was the decision made by our power elites in the Asianisation programme, to abandon the West and our Anglo Saxon heritage, to create a Chinese colony in the former land of Australia. There is lip service about excess Chinese influence now, but this is just what was created.

     US Supreme Court judge, African American Clarence Thomas, has said that he is worn down and exhausted by the present day culture of victimisation:
  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/02/16/justice-clarence-thomas-says-hes-worn-down-with-victimhood-culture.html 

“ At some point, we’re going to be fatigued with everybody being the victim,” Thomas, the second African American to serve on the Supreme Court, said during an on-stage interview at the Library of Congress in Washington. Thomas, a conservative appointed to the bench in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush, recalled recently being with a young black woman in Kansas who told him, “I’m really tired of having to play the role of being black. I just want to go to school.” “I just get worn down,” Thomas said.

     The crazed Russia meddled in the US elections frenzy continues, and no doubt will for all eternity, or until the next president does what the establishment wants, and declares war on Russia, dooming the US to oblivion. Now we have the CIA openly admitting that the US meddles in elections of other countries all of the time, but that is fine because, well, we are the good guys:
  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/02/18/mcmaster-fbi-indictments-prove-russia-meddled-in-us-elections.html

  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/17/sunday-review/russia-isnt-the-only-one-meddling-in-elections-we-do-it-too.html 

“Bags of cash delivered to a Rome hotel for favored Italian candidates. Scandalous stories leaked to foreign newspapers to swing an election in Nicaragua. Millions of pamphlets, posters and stickers printed to defeat an incumbent in Serbia. The long arm of Vladimir Putin? No, just a small sample of the United States’ history of intervention in foreign elections.

     Sweden claims to have a “feminist” government:
  http://www.government.se/government-policy/a-feminist-government/ going into inclusion overload, but still truly concerning things are happening in that country, and much of Europe, which are a foretaste of social collapse:, with the rule of law going out the window:

“Alicia’s Iraqi parents took her to Sweden when she was four. When she was 13, they took her back to their homeland to marry her 23-year-old cousin. Returning alone to Sweden, Alicia, a Swedish citizen, gave birth to twin boys, who at birth automatically became Swedish citizens. After she cared for them for a period of time, her children were taken away, against her will, to be raised in Iraq by her husband. Last year, he petitioned the Stockholm municipal court for sole custody. On January 9, 2018, the Stockholm Municipal Court ruled in his favor, on the grounds that the twins had lived longer with him than with Alicia, who is now 24.

     I thought that this one was false news, but apparently not.
  http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2018/02/13/iran-accuses-west-using-reptiles-lizards-nuclear-spies/ 

“Western spies use lizards and assorted small reptiles to “attract atomic waves” and spy on Iran’s nuclear program, the former chief-of-staff of Iran’s armed forces has claimed. Hassan Firuzabadi, senior military adviser to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made the revelation as he responded to questions from local media on the recent arrest of environmentalists, Ouest France reports. It is the latest in a long line of claims made in the troubled Middle East that include allegations western forces have also used an eagle, a dolphin, a vulture, and Mossad-inspired shark attacks on various Islamic foes – with varying degrees of success.”

     Surfing through Natural news.com, I followed a common thread of articles about our dystopic future, many hard to believe. To begin, https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-02-13-eco-friendly-company-ingenious-way-to-dispose-of-the-entire-population.html

     A Canadian company which sought to have an “eco-friendly” approach to disposal of human remains, used the process of alkaline hydrolysis to dissolve bodies. The only problem was that the remains ended up in the sewage system, going out to sea. Human bodies today are rather toxic, with lots of heavy metals, so this was not fair on the fish. Bodies that are not liquefied may end up being part of a growing global market for such parts:
