We would not be doing our duty to readers if all we did were to supply hope about the coming age of prosperity.  I hope that this can be rung in by the creation of an alternative social credit economy, I really do. However, I am pretty much a short-term thinker, from the military perspective, a grunt, and I am concerned about day-to-day survival, rather than great flights of philosophy.  I just don’t have the patience for it, and struggle even to get through articles by my friends and colleagues at this site. It is my fault, but I am too old a dog to learn new tricks now.

     From my tent outpost here in the Victorian scrub, through the bitter cold nights, while I drink billy-boiled tea by my camp fire, I see the coming of hard times. For many hard times are here already, with many sites telling the story of people just not being able to get by:

     In bemoaning ‘the generational decline in the Christian faith as guide to the common good’ (‘Blessed be the egoistic individuals’, 8-9/7) Paul Kelly becomes too gloomy when he finishes by asserting that ‘once dismantled’, the old order of devotion to family, faith and public welfare ‘cannot be put back together.’ He has forgotten the permanent truth of the symbol of the phoenix rising from the ashes.

     And no, it’s not true that ‘modesty, humility and Christian forbearance make no sense in today’s world’, though maybe we could do with some strengthening of them. It will come: God never leaves humanity without prophets, sages and saints, to recall wandering sheep and chastise goats.

      A court in Hanover has handed suspended sentences to six members of a Kurdish clan who seriously wounded two dozen police officers during a violent rampage in Hameln. The court's ruling was greeted with anger and derision by police who said it is yet another example of the laxity of Germany's politically correct judicial system.

      The case goes back to January 2014, when a 26-year-old clan member, arrested for robbery, tried to escape from the magistrate's office by jumping out of a seventh-floor courtroom window. The suspect was taken to the hospital, where he died. Members of his clan subsequently ransacked the hospital, as well as the court, and attacked police with rocks and other projectiles; 24 police officers and six paramedics were injured.

     If we want to understand Australia’s success as a modern nation, as one of the world’s oldest continuous democracies, we must look back to the origins of our institutions. Civil society, liberal democracy, constitutional government, the rule of law and individual rights are all essential features of our free society.
     Institutions provide an important foundation for a society to attain its full potential. They are a legacy to this generation, passed down by those who have sought freedom of conscience, religion, speech, and the right to participate in politics and public debate.
     As part of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program, the Institute of Public Affairs has produced a series of short films which explain the important role that British Institutions have played in shaping our nation.

The Magna Carta

     Champions of diversity and ethno-cultural pluralism are quick to point out that “diversity is our strength.” But, have you ever seen any scientific argument for this claim, that is, proof? Are arguments and counter-arguments carefully evaluated? Of course not; the claim is propaganda, and is enforced at the end of the bayonet of the Law, to keep us under control, until it is demographically too late. Some special, lucky people can seemingly say what they like: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4629820/Outrage-professor-s-rebuke-self-identified-whites.html, but if the same, or even much less, was done by Whites, the moral outrage would never end. Whole cities would be rocked by unending protests, and the world would quiver on its axis in moral panic.

     With the cucking and deracination of the White population there was probably no need by the elites to use the hardball tactics; we could have been left to slowly die out, but no, the elites are impatient and want their New World Order, yesterday.

     This title comes from a book written by a concerned Aussie about the race issue, which I unfortunately cannot now locate, and there does not appear to be an internet trace of it. But, the argument is, I recall: why bother about preserving natural diversity of species and races/sub-species, if this is not applied to humans as well? Does it really matter if the genetic integrity and purity of say, American bison, is preserved: http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2017/06/11/animal-conservation-or-bison-supremacism/? If human races are a social construct, then so too would be breeds of animals, and with some plausibility, since many breeds were constructed by human-controlled breeding programs.

     Hence, if biology is to be discounted, doused and denounced: http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2017/06/06/doused-and-denounced/, there is no reason for concern about the “environment,” which is also a social construct. So must be global warming too. Even if it existed, as a social construct, we could just define it away. Easy.
Sociological relativism is such fun; far more interesting than reality, and almost as magical as Harry Potter.

     Former PM John Howard – remember him? – wrote in The Weekend Australian, June 24-25, 2017, p. 20 about “Threats Anew to Freedom of Religion, Speech.”  Oh, the irony of someone, claiming to be a conservative, who did nothing to roll back section 18C, and who advanced the agenda of mass Asian immigration, to such an extent that he lost his own seat: Peter Wilkinson, The Howard Legacy: Displacement of Traditional Australia from the Professional and Managerial Classes, (2007).

But, that is water under the bridge now, as the once good ship Oz, slowly sinks, from taking on too much water. The pumps have long ago failed.

     Alt Right and White nationalist intellectuals such as Peter Brimelow, have said that the present cultural war will lead to blood, and in fact, it already has: https://www.vdare.com/articles/it-will-come-to-blood-reflections-on-the-lefts-anti-trump-inauguration-tantrum?redirect=http://www.vdare.com/articles/it-will-come-to-blood-reflections-on-the-lefts-anti-trump-inauguration-tantrum.

     Greg Sheridan, “Patriotism and Resentment Could have Us Seeing Red,” The Australian, June 22, 2017, p. 12, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/columnists/greg-sheridan/patriotism-and-resentment-could-have-us-seeing-red/news-story/fe3f35e28ac4440436690ad3f708e183,  says that the “will be blood thesis” is a bit early, but the bulk of his article shows that it is already happening. Here are some extracts from an insightful article.
Note that the point of this is to show that some of the things said at this site are, after some delay, also now being said in the mainstream media, not because we are influencing them, or that they care a jot what we say, but because external circumstances make such matters impossible not to notice. I think the League writers have been the first in Australia to predict the “there will be blood” theme, while the mainstream media, and some freedom types were still thinking about economics and growth, and strategies and theories time-locked in an age that has now passed.

     N. A. Christakis and J. H. Fowler, “Friendship and Natural Selection,” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, July 22, 2014, present evidence that friends tend to exhibit “homophily” (“love of the same”) in their genotypes. Cutting to the chase, people in general tend to have racial kin as part of their friendship networks. Sure, there is variation to this, as there must be with any statistical generalisation, but, birds of a feather, really do flock together.

     US surveys show that Americans certainly choose racial kin as friends:
https://www.prri.org/research/poll-race-religion-politics-americans-social-networks/. As stated in an article covering this, “the average black person’s friend network is eight percent white, but the average white person’s network is only one percent black. To put it another way: Blacks have ten times as many black friends as white friends. But white Americans have an astonishing 91 times as many white friends as black friends.
There are a number of factors driving these numbers. Simple population counts are one of them: There are more white people than black people in the United States, so it makes sense that the average American is going to have more white friends than black friends.

     We have had many Hollywood types mouthing increasingly radical politically correct crazy talk since the 2016 US election.  Now, trying to outdo the likes of Madonna, actor Mark Ruffalo, not buffalo, has said that MSNBC, an American cable/satellite TV company, should not hire any more White conservative people: http://www.whatfinger.com/single-post/2017/06/23/Dice-No-More-White-People-on-MSNBC-Actor-Mark-Ruffalos-Insane-Demands. Strike one, if they are White, and strike two, well, they are conservative too.

     The response to these sort of “ban whitey” proclamations should be for Americans to vote with their wallets, and exercise their consumer rights not support anyone pushing this line. Nevertheless, before that, actors such as Ruffalo need to resign and allow people of colour, and disadvantaged actors, to take their choice screen roles.
Hulk, smash, indeed.

     The Islamist killer of British soldier Lee Rigby Michael Adebolajo, 31, has been “radicalising” other inmates  at Her Majesty's Prison Frankland in County Durham, and has now become Britain’s “most dangerous prisoner.” So dangerous, in fact, that the prison authorities do not have the resources to deal with him, even though he is regarded as a danger to other prisoners. He has radicalised dozens of other prisoners, who have now sworn to engage in acts of terrorism once they are released.

     Now let’s see if we have this right. The State does not have the resources to isolate Adebolajo by simply putting him in his own cell. But, it does have the resources to face potentially dozens more terrorist attacks. That makes sense, doesn’t it? The same sense that mass immigration, which created this problem in the first place, makes.

     Military theorist Martin van Creveld, has published a piece with the simple title, “Pussycats”: http://www.martin-van-creveld.com/pussycats/. His basic thesis is that high technology has made the modern soldier into a “pussycat,’ someone soft compared to the fighters of yesterday. Technology has taken some of the risk out of fighting, where the hope is to blast one’s enemy at a safe distance with missiles and drones. Armies do not want to take causalities.

     Further, Western countries have fought “luxury’ wars rather than existential struggles since the end of World War II, with the threat of nuclear attack, holding enemies at bay, until recently when the enemy was allowed inside the gates. In fact, it is enemy ideologies that now dominate the military of the West, as he says, but not in those words exactly, but better words:

     It is hard to believe that Australia back in the White Australia days, actually had universities and did not rely upon foreign fee paying students, who now all become migrants, to exist. It is beyond the comprehension of our deracinated cucked elites to even conceive of anything beyond “surrender Australia.” National self-reliance is not only impossible, but is a contradiction in terms for them. All that exists is the racial Other, unless, of course, we are pursuing White guilt.

     Apparently one out of every six dollars used to run  what were once “our” universities comes from Chinese students: The Australian, June 21, 2017, p. 30. Even putting aside nationalist and racialist concerns, conventional thinkers might see a problem here in having such a reliance upon a single country. For example, although Australian elites have very much a rock groupie response to economic powers, times and fortunes change. Those at the top have nowhere else to go but down. Too bad when unsustainable debt causes the china to break:

Response from Wallace Klinck Canada:
     This “feminist” article just goes to illustrate how distorted and destructive these hate-filled Marxist agitators are and the lengths to which they will go in inciting animosity and violence in response to almost any concocted issue they can create and use as a target of their vitriol to perpetuate the “class war”. They are never satisfied until they cause resentment, conflict and civil war.  A nasty bunch.  
It is sad that some people actually fall victim to their noxious and deceptive propaganda which is designed not to build but to tear down.
      These are the anti-culturalists and anti-humans who are motivated by pure and perpetual envy.  Any advance to a new level of development is automatically branded by Marxists as exploitation of the “oppressed” and as “racism” or some other in an ever expanding list of allegedly antisocial “isms”.
     They are monomaniacs who seek absolute “equality” in an totally egalitarian society and anyone who rises above their static and frozen social order is automatically branded as an exploiter who must be “stealing” from others.
     These people are obviously suffering from a psychological and spiritual pathology.  They are incapable of love and are envious of anyone who is able to access or experience it, who they brand as “haters."  Their immediate impulse is to destroy the object of their jealousy.
        They posture as “progressives” but actually hate abundance and prosperity because they see them as a threat to their endless and consuming revolutionary struggle—which is actually a relentless struggle for power over the rest of humanity.

     News of the ‘seismic shift away from religion’ in our nation is alarming (‘Losing our religion but Hinduism on a high’, 28/6). This means that nearly a third of our population believes that there exists no foundation at all for ethics and morality. Choice of behaviour in all contexts then becomes arbitrary.
     The census figures also show that there is a widespread tendency to simply ignore the obvious mystery of the universe in which we live, including the role of human beings as a species privileged by abilities not shared by other life forms. Only a little logic is needed to reveal that logic itself and the rational mind are insufficient to penetrate the great enigmas.
     Why has this happened? Firstly, the churches for too long have clung to outmoded and foolishly exclusivist theology, thus gradually discrediting themselves. Secondly, the scientific revolution has led to an education system that is far too concentrated on dialectic to the deprivation of other modes of cognition from intuition to the mystical.
     And the result? A society that is becoming more selfish, more violent and more confused.

to THE AGE
     Tosca Lloyd indulges in wishful thinking in his promotion of secularism (‘As Australia grows, religion becomes less relevant’, 28/6). In advocating that our schools and society ‘should be free from religious bias’, he is actually seeking the substitution of an irreligious bias. As for his soft soap claim that secularism does not mean ‘imposing the views of the non-religious on to the religious’, he ignores the horrifying militancy of atheists in France after 1789, Russia after 1917 and China after 1949.
     It is the principle of equity, not equality, that should govern public policy in matters religious. Perhaps the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer at the opening of parliaments could be accompanied by a prayer from a different sacred tradition (chosen on a rotational basis) and a secular exhortation of an inspiring kind. And the National School Chaplaincy Program could be amended to make fair allowance for all reasonable non-Christian points of view, including the secular.

     The latest political shooting here in the US comes from the Left – and I am not referencing the on-going war in cities such as Chicago and Baltimore between black gangs, where in Baltimore, there have been nearly 160 homicides while it is only halfway through 2017:

     Here is a good article with all the links dealing with the on-going bank collapses in Europe. For example, the sixth largest bank in Spain, Banco Popular, failed in early June this year, with emergency funds being offered, which were burnt through in a mere two days. A sale was eventually arranged by frantic EU regulators to Santander, which held off the evil day of financial reckoning for a time. Other Spanish banks are facing similar vulnerabilities, such as Liberbank.

    Spain is just the beginning. The Italian financial system is unhealthy, showing that all of that pasta and high carb food, really is not that good for you. That site is primarily a financial one, but it has this interesting observation about the ultimate breakup of that artificial construct, Italy:

     I am now pleased to be the official US correspondent for the League, and I will work with your writer and ex-American Chris Knight to bring you all the rich absurdity from the land of the once-free. Remember, if it happened here, it will soon be happening in your neck of the woods.

     We all know that the Left has been waging a war against Trump supporters, even though Trump has proved to be the Great Disappointment. I am not surprised given that he came from the same swamp as the rest, but there was no choice supporting him and getting caught up in the hope that maybe, just maybe, there could be a political solution. But, there never can be. History will be decided the way it has always been worked out, because blood lubricates its grim wheels.
