I was as alarmed, as no doubt as you were, to read that US General Vincent K. Brooks, told foreign Minister Julie Bishop last month, that North Korea’s Unha-3 missile is now capable of lopping a nuclear bomb on Australia. The Australian, March 27, 2017, p. 1. It is nice that the Americans tell us such things, because this was apparently the first time that the Minister had heard this, indicating that our security spooks, are just not in the international loop.

How might this all be played out? I have bad news for Australia. Under one of my strategic scenarios, manic Kim Jong-un may decide to drop a nuke on Australia rather than America to show that he means business. We all know it; in world terms, we mean little and could very well be made to take one for the team.

According to a recent article (The Australian, March 27, 2017, p. 6), Nick Xenophon says that the wording of section 18 C is “non-negotiable.” The NXT are opposed to reform of section 18 C, but support an overhaul of the Human Rights Commission.

Already, there is a movement to water down changes to see if the NXT allow it through. Why does a so-called pragmatic group suddenly have such a strong position, which is beyond negotiation? Say it again Pauline, “please explain.”

Here is what the global financial tyranny has in store as punishment for the people failing to follow their globalist agenda: http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/these-haunting-photos-of-the-retail-apocalypse-reveal-a-new-normal-in-america/ss-BByFpjX?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=spartandhp.

The news is from the United States, but it is important for us to keep an eye on trends there which soon will sweep to our shores. A third of all US shopping malls are projected to close in 2017. “Space Available” signs are appearing all over America, like poison toadstools: http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/a-third-of-all-u-s-shopping-malls-are-projected-to-close-as-space-available-signs-go-up-all-over-america.

Italy has been complaining that if members of the EU, such as Hungary or Slovakia build walls to ensure border protection, then Italy will withhold it funding to the EU budget: https://www.rt.com/news/364227-italy-eu-migrants-money/. Ordinary Italians are battling migrants, as seen in the village of Gorino, where local residents barricaded entrances to the town. This led to the Italian government relocating the latest flood of migrants.

Italy should be building a migrant-proof fence, rather than just funnelling the migrants onto northern Europe. The ocean could be wired off with nets, like those used to hold back sharks, and the Italian navy could tow migrant vessels away, or just not let them land. Instead, the Italian navy brings the migrants in:  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/02/03/coastguard-brings-1700-migrants-italy-24-hours/;  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/09/06/italy-brings-ashore-nearly-3000-african-migrants-day/; http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/751179/Italy-migrant-crisis-record-number-refugees-asylum-seekers-2016-Mediterranean-Libya-Egypt. It is effectively a migration agency!

Immigration and multiculturalism, we are told in a never-ending bombast of propaganda, enrich our culture. That means, at a minimum that this is a positive thing. Isn’t that so as a point of logic?
As another point of logic, does it not follow that there can therefore be negative aspects of immigration and multiculturalism? How could it be otherwise because if there are positive benefits, this opens up the possibility of negative ones as well. But, as we all know, the negative effects are ignored by the new class because they are, “inconvenient truths.”

We do not ignore them, and offer the photograph of “Linda,” a European victim of migrant crime, as something to consider: http://www.vdare.com/letters/a-reader-asks-about-the-fate-of-a-swedish-victim-of-immigrant-rape.

Gun owners may not be aware, but major changes are at foot. The thing to be aware of, and get active about quickly is the National Firearms Agreement: https://www.ag.gov.au/CrimeAndCorruption/Firearms/Documents/2017-national-firearms-agreement.pdf. If the name sounds familiar, then think back to the 1996 version of this, which devastated gun ownership in Australia, the responsibility of John Howard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Agreement.

Those power groups supporting the changes are opposed to people being able to use a firearm for self-defence: https://ama.com.au/position-statement/firearms-2017. Basic rights which people in the past had will be gone.

To The Australian
Despite the federal government's failure to get its partial reform of the Racial Discrimination Act fully accepted by the Senate, political and religious censorship continues to be 'on the nose' in Australia. It is good that, recognising this, the government plans 'to keep the full reform plan as policy' so as to be able to deal quickly with future cases seriously threatening free and fair speech ('Brandis set to pull back on 18C', 30/3).
The government must also maintain a strong public stance in favour of free speech and make this a major aspect of its next election campaign; and free speech supporters, generally, should 'maintain their rage' loudly and noisily.

A careful study of the handling of the controversy in 'The Australian' (against 18C) and in Melbourne's 'The Age' (for 18C) suggests that the case for complete repeal has intellectually won the day. Some of the major arguments against 18C were largely or wholly ignored by its supporters and the repeated misrepresentation of free speech advocates as 'racists' was deplorable. Temporarily a combination of idealistic fanaticism and pandering to minorities for electoral advantage has won the day.

To The Age
So the Turnbull government, like the Abbott government before it, has been unable to return to Australians free speech on race and matters involving ethnicity.
I wonder if supporters of 18C are really aware of the intense ongoing attack on free speech that is happening around the world and which threatens to further limit debate here. Just two examples. The first is the currently showing film 'Denial' which is a political attack on British historian David Irving designed to stifle interest in his vast range of writings. 'Denial' visually distorts the truth by casting a screen goddess to play the very ordinary-looking Deborah Lipstadt and making a troll out of a male actor in order to show Irving as an inhuman ogre. That is only where the misrepresentation begins.

Second example: the London School of Economics where efforts are being made to censor American professor Richard Falk and Jewish writer Gilad Atzmon because of their defences of the Palestinians and negative assessments of Jewish activities. "Known fascists shouldn't be allowed on campus,' one Jewish activist stated.
The protection of free debate on momentous political and religious controversies is far more necessary for human welfare than Nanny-state laws to prevent hurt feelings.

French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has vowed to “destroy the New World Order” when she is elected President of France, warning the European elites that she will “dismantle their corrupt, self-serving institutions with my own two hands if I have to.”
See: http://yournewswire.com/marine-le-pen-destroy-new-world-order/.

“The people have spoken and their message is clear: the New World Order is finished,” Marine Le Pen said.
“The elite are not safe hiding behind their propaganda fuelled media institutions, making unaccountable decisions in Brussels, and silencing citizens who speak out against this insanity. When I am President a tidal wave of revulsion will be coming their way, the likes of which has never been seen before.”

Imagine my surprise when conducting the in-depth research that extreme right wingers know, love and expect from yours truly Uncle Len, I came across: http://www3.forbes.com/business/the-worlds-most-powerful-people-2016/21/.

Predictably the list was of leading US, Russian, European political leaders, with a few bankers thrown in for good measure. We all know the names, but the ones who really rule, were not there. You know, those who regularly meet around a pentagram shaped table with Satan, Prince of Darkness, to give him orders.
I am glad that I live in a world where I am not on any such list. Poor in body, but mighty free in spirit. Remember the old rhythm: two men looked out through the same bars; one sees mud, the other the stars. (Frederick Langridge, 1896)

The pollies work out the best way of deceiving us over reforms to section 18 C, so that it is not weakened and faithfully serves the ethnic/multicult elite. But, Anne Aly, Australia’s first female Muslim MP, believes that that race discrimination laws should be expanded to cover insults based on religion as well, so that tougher speech laws will make it illegal to offend Muslims because of their religion: https://wentworthreport.com/2017/03/31/australian-mp-wants-to-make-it-illegal-to-cause-religious-offence-to-muslims/; https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/03/australia-muslim-mp-wants-to-make-offending-muslims-a-criminal-offense; https://heatst.com/world/australian-mp-wants-to-make-it-illegal-to-cause-religious-offence-to-muslims/.

Victoria and now the ACT have religious vilification laws, suppressing free speech in exactly the same way section 18 C does.

To The Age
Your latest report on the struggle for the return to Australians of unequivocally free speech on race (‘Senate to kill changes in race hate law’, 21/3) seems to indicate that the necessary significant reform of the Racial Discrimination Act will be largely or wholly stymied not by principled argument but by the desire of a majority of MPs to avoid ‘alienating ethnic communities’ - that is, to achieve electoral advantage.

There is an old saying: ‘Unhappy is the land that has no heroes.’ It seems that here, as in overseas nations such as Germany, France and Canada, honourable dissidents on controversies involving race are likely to be publicly pilloried, with their self-sacrifice needed to awaken the whole community eventually to the vital need of free speech to maintain political freedom for all.
NJ, Belgrave, Vic

To The Australian
Liberal senator James Paterson describes ‘Holocaust deniers’ as ‘serious wrongdoers’ who should not be able to ‘avoid liability’ under a reformed section 18C (‘Reform 18C now or risk losing it’, 17/3). I wonder why this defender of free speech is unwilling to extend it to dissident historians, irrespective of how right or wrong they may be. Indeed, I wonder why he does not use the truer term ‘Holocaust revisionists’ and on what grounds he declares them to be wrongdoers.

An inadequately discussed aspect of the current free speech controversy is the position under present or reformed legislation of revisionist historians. The principle of free speech demands that no particular religious, political, historical or scientific view be peculiarly privileged as a result of special pleading.

In the US a federal District Court judge has considered ordering President Trump to double the 50,000 refugee inflow to the United States: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/16/judge-considers-ordering-50000-refugees/. This was held even though each new immigrant is subsidized at about US $ 1,600 per year for decades.

As well, according to a Center for Immigration Studies report, by S. A. Camarota (et al.), Mapping Immigration’s Impact on Public Schools (March 2017), at http://cis.org/sites/cis.org/files/camarota-pumas_0.pdf, migration is absorbing US school resources and overcrowding classrooms, with a near-term meltdown of the school system, on the agenda.

Race, we are told, is a social construction, with no foundation in biology. We should see this as pc rubbish, since the same is now said about sex and gender. Surprisingly enough, it is not said about physical things such as alleged climatic change, which is oh so real and threatening for the Left. Surely, it too, must be a social construct, and therefore, not real, an illusion of society. Society is a god that for the radical Left magically creates the universe. Such a stupid philosophy for spoilt baby boomers.

Nevertheless, real science still struggles to produce research that shows the falseness of the Leftoid position. For example, a recent paper, A. Zaidi (et al.), “Investigating the Case of Human Nose Shape and Climate Adaptation,” PLoS Genetics, March 16, 2017, has confirmed the “Thomson Nose rule” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Thomson_(anatomist)),  that people in cold climates, such as northern Europe have longer tighter noses to humidify and warm air, while this is not needed in Africa, hence wider nostrils to cool air. Although this feature has been said to be purely random, due to genetic drift, these researchers refuted this claim by showing that the statistical variation could not be accounted for by chance alone.
Socially construct that!

How badly did the chattering class wanted to get a copy of Trump’s tax returns during the election to show that he minimised taxes, just like the Clintons? Now it has happened and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow revealed it all in a program. Unfortunately for the Left, it was revealed that Trump actually paid more, not less, tax than Obama, with Trump paying an effective tax rate of 24.5 percent and Obama, 19 percent: http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2017/03/16/report-maddows-trump-tax-scoop-sparks-battle-between-nbc-msnbc-bosses/.

Revealing a private citizen’s tax records, illegally obtained, is a federal offence. Trump could go after her, but he seems too weak to fight back against his enemies. I think that his continuous displays of weakness will over the months lead to the public deserting him in support. Rather than being a winner, as he says he always is, he is fast looking like a loser, that the Left can whip as they see fit, breaking the law with no fear of punishment from a president who has yet to prove himself. Would-be “gangsta” rappers can even threaten to make his wife into their prostitute, and he does nothing.

In the Politics, Book V, Aristotle said: “Another cause of revolution is differences of races which do not at once acquire a common spirit. A state is not the growth of a day. Hence the reception of strangers, in colonies either at a time of their foundation or afterwards has generally produced revolution.”
Such wisdom has not been part of Australian politics, obsessed as it is, with globalism and manic growth capitalism since the beginning.

Whenever there is public concern about mass immigration and multiculturalism, the power elites roll out the old “they will integrate” mantra, as they have been doing since 1947, when all this really got going.

The neo-conmen and “Dumocrats” have been itching for war with Russia, something that they hoped Hillary Clinton would have given them. It was never even a remotely sensible military option, since Russia has been developing new age weapons, such as a tidal weapon or nuclear drone, that can burrow into the sea floor, and be activated at some point, causing a massive tidal wave: http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-03-18-secret-russian-weapon-could-wipe-out-nyc-boston-and-d-c-in-minutes-with-a-massive-radioactive-tidal-wave.html.

While the US under Obama has been concerned about transgenderism and bathrooms, the manly warrior Russians have been developing, well, manly weapons that are not politically correct. The Russians are moving into the Star Wars realm, with plasma and Tesla Haarp weapons, and probably much more. You don’t really want to fight these guys.
Thus, the idea recently put forward by Ann Coulter, to make Russia a sister country, a friend and not an enemy, makes a lot of sense: http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2017/03/15/ann-coulter-lets-make-russia-sister-country/. If Trump can do this, he may head off World War 4 and the end of human civilisation.

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has warned that Europe is headed for “wars of religion”: https://www.rt.com/news/380970-europe-religion-wars-turkey/. I, for one, feel that such wars are already here.
Although there has been mention of this at this site, the claim needs to be read against the massive arsenal of weapons that was intercepted in Spain, including thousands of assault rifles, machine guns, grenades, howitzers and anti-aircraft guns: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3092362/shocking-police-pictures-reveal-10000-weapon-arsenal-intended-for-the-hands-of-terrorists-including-howitzers-machine-guns-and-grenades/. The weapons were intended for criminals and terrorists. Here is a photograph of what came into Europe on one particular day:
Clearly, the smuggling of this many arms into any country is an open declaration of war. It is plain to see, and we have been told. That is, if experience is not enough.

In November 2015, Islamic terrorists armed with assault rifles, in gun-controlled Paris killed 130 people. Imagine what will be done with even heavier firepower.
It is perhaps not surprising that the elites across the world are getting into survivalism big time, to the extent of purchasing underground doomsday bunkers: http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-03-18-the-wealthy-are-going-underground-as-luxury-doomsday-bunkers-sprawl-across-kansas.html; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3538525/Where-pandemonium-strikes-Super-rich-buying-underground-bunkers-installing-panic-rooms-luxury-apartments-protect-against-revolutions-natural-disasters.html.
The rich can certainly see the writing (in blood) on the wall.

What! In an act of environmental political correctness, the New Zealand government has given personhood status to the Whanganui river, which the Maori regard as sacred: https://www.rt.com/viral/380870-nz-river-legal-status/. The river thus has the same rights as someone like Uncle Len, also thought to be a person. Actually, the river will have more rights than me, because as the eternally dispossessed Anglo, my only real right is to die.
