We have come to accept that even if you are 90 or 100 years old, if you say something politically incorrect, then you will be smashed. This is what tyrannical regimes do; it is the modern Inquisition. However, if you are old, it is not just thought crimes that you need to be aware of:
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/crime/os-juanita-fitzgerald-arrested-evicted-20171214-story.html

“Juanita Fitzgerald was spared having to spend her 94th birthday in the Lake County jail when she was released Thursday after having been locked up for two days in the medical ward.
The trouble started when Fitzgerald was evicted Tuesday from the senior housing community at the National Church Residences’ Franklin House in Eustis.  Police said she was given notice of her eviction the day before, but she refused to leave the lobby.
“Unless you carry me out of here, I’m not going anywhere,” she told police before being arrested Tuesday morning, the report shows.
Lake County sheriff’s spokesman Fred Jones said a deputy on the scene tried to connect Fitzgerald with family members and other housing resources, but she refused. He added that she also rejected an offer of a place to stay from a nurse who was there.
Eustis police showed up shortly after the eviction notice was served. Spokesman Jim Franquiz said officers offered several options to find housing for her elsewhere, but Fitzgerald did not want to move.
On Thursday, Fitzgerald was released from jail by a judge on her own recognizance and was being turned over to a caregiver, Lake County Sheriff’s Office spokesman John Herrell said.”

     The latest paranoia about Russia to do the mainstream media rounds, is that Russia could bring about an economic collapse of the West by destroying underwater internet cables:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-17/congress-may-enact-bolt-and-wire-cutter-sanctions-russia-after-putin-threatens-under

     Oh, quick, let’s go to war against Russia, so that they actually do this!  In fact, China with its advanced subs could easily destroy the cables as well. The high tech society is inevitably vulnerable to such attacks, and there is little that can be done about it.  Banning bolt cutters, will not help!

     I have written previously, that the present moral panic and outing of so-called sexual predators, is part of an agenda to ultimately take down Trump, by creating a hyper-paranoid culture of fear. We can see numerous photographs of actresses who have claimed sexual abuse, laughing with the alleged abusers.  Why was the crime left unreported for years?  Doesn’t this leave other women open to predatation? Isn’t there a moral duty to report such alleged crimes? Some actresses say that in doing so would have affected their careers. What! So you put your career over helping other women, and preventing them too becoming victims of sexual assault.

     In these situations, while there are always numerous genuine cases, there is though, often a less than hidden agenda. The agenda is to get Trump. After all, it was attempted before, and he is weak in the women area, and thus vulnerable:

     Hey, you know that you are really poor when all you have left to sell is your blood plasma, as many millennials now face:
https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-12-18-lacking-any-real-job-skills-broke-millennials-are-now-donating-blood-plasma-as-a-routine-source-of-income.html

“One former community college student spoke about how she visits an Oregon plasma donation center twice a week following a reduction in her hours at work.  At the center, people who donate plasma can earn anywhere from $25 to $150 per week over a maximum of eight visits per month.
The center she frequents markets itself to millennials, touting its close location to the University of Oregon on its website and mentioning that students are able to do their homework while donating. Around a third of the donors at that Eugene center are estimated to be under the age of 24.
It’s a popular approach, with ABC News reporting that 94 percent of the plasma in the world comes from the U.S.  It’s a $16.8 billion global industry that is still growing. Not surprisingly, four-fifths of the nation’s plasma centers are found in poor neighborhoods. The plasma is used for therapies to treat various diseases.”

     I have written about this before, but I say it again now, since Mike Adams’ site is now saying the same thing:
https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-12-17-has-the-metoo-movement-gone-too-far-innocent-men-can-now-have-their-whole-lives-destroyed-without-a-shred-of-evidence.html

“With the sudden growth of the so-called #MeToo movement, which is prompting scores of women to level sometimes decades-old charges of sexual assault against a variety of male public figures, entertainers, and corporate executives, one has to stop and ask this question: Has this all gone too far, too fast?
Some people are beginning to think so, especially since just an accusation nowadays is all it takes for someone to lose their livelihood — and that is significant (and scary) in a country whose justice system was built upon the premise of innocence until proven guilty.”

     Yes, the politically correct are working away to take the Christ out of Christmas:
https://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/no-christ-in-christmas-next-school-jesus-ban-spark/3205543/

“A ‘JESUS ban’ in public schools has sparked fury from Coast MPs, after reports kids swapping Christmas cards, making Christmas tree decorations or bracelets could be censored.
The Australian reported an unofficial policy from the Queensland Department of Education and Training had identified junior evangelism as an issue to be stamped out, following a Departmental review into GodSpace religious instruction materials.”

     This is in the “I told you so department.”
     As part of the false debate about Chinese influence in Australia (they own the place already), “our” universities are shaking in their panties, fearing that academics could get caught in the “anti-treason net”:
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/universities-alarmed-new-treason-laws-could-target-academics/news-story/af896886be03dd1c9517536e4cd70be1

“Universities are alarmed that academics receiving foreign cash could be targeted by the new treason laws and are seeking urgent assurances from the government.
Peak group Universities Australia said the sector might even campaign to amend the legislation.
Government sources confirmed academics might have to register publicly as foreign agents if, for example, they received a scholarship where funding was given on the condition that the researcher would write a paper for the purposes of influencing Australian politics.
Further, the sources said an academic, university head or executive of an institution receiving foreign funds could be forced to register if they engaged in political lobbying, or communications activities in Australia aimed at shaping policy.”

     Imagine harvesting the reproductive cells from aborted female foetuses and using them for IVF babies!!!!!!!! Well, progress towards this next big thing is underway:
https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/harvesting-eggs-from-aborted-babies-to-create-ivf-babies-ten-years-later-th

“Dr. Tal Biron-Shental, from Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, Israel, was quoted by The Mail, as well as the BBC and a few other outlets, conceding that the concept of taking ovarian tissue from aborted babies “was controversial”.  In fact, her quotes revealed much about the direction the abortion ideology has taken; one of pure, ice-cold utilitarianism.

     Probably my final contribution before Christmas, since I will not be heading into Melbourne to use the internet. Nothing much electronic out here in the scrub. I tried plugging my laptop into an ant nest, but the ants merely crawled all over it.

     Now, we have this highly profound research by a professor, no less, saying that eating meat perpetuates hegemonic masculinity:

     J. K. Rowling thinks that she is witty saying that the defeat of Judge Moore shows that God is a black women:

     If so, then this God did not give the politically correct candidate much of a safety margin.  Anyway, next time round when things are different, and a stronger candidate is put up we will see if she is still gloating:

     First, the universities tell us that gay and lesbian people are happier than straight people:

… supposedly.

     We have all thought it, but now, one of the most loved actors of all time, Ian McKellen, has come out and said it, many of the women in the MeTooism, are just playing victims:
https://www.rt.com/uk/413601-ian-mckellen-sex-women/

“One of Britain’s most treasured actors has spoken out about the Hollywood sex scandal.  Sir Ian McKellen told Oxford students that women who offered sex for acting work were taken advantage of, but many are playing the victim.
McKellen, known for playing King Lear, Gandalf and Magneto, started out as an actor in the 1960s in the theater, when he claims offering sex for roles was rife.
“When I was starting out acting in the early 1960s, the director of the theater I was working at showed me some photographs he got from some women who were wanting jobs,” he told students at the intimate Oxford talk.
“They were actors. Some of them had – and i think these were the initials – DRR: Director’s rights respected. In other words, if you give me a job you can have sex with me.
“That was commonplace from people who propose that they should be a victim.  I mean, madness. So people are taking advantage of that and encouraged it, and it absolutely will not do.”

     The really bad news to end the year, is that the government in its treason, I mean reason, has turned up the heat on immigration yet again, with 245,400 net arrivals in the 12 months to July, an increase of 27 percent over last year.

     This is nothing short of cruel, with our own youth struggling to find work, but, I suppose when you are told by the elites of the New World Order that you must speed up the demographic replacement program, a few eggs will have to be broken.

     There has been excitement among the alien life crowd that an unusual asteroid, called “Oumuamua,” which passed through the solar system on its merry way, could have been an alien probe or space ship:

Probing of the asteroid may have awaken the aliens inside to our existence, and being super-advanced, they will come back with their mates to kill us. Then cook us, and eat us.
Other, cooler scientists think that this thing has a heart of ice, with an outer organic layer, much like our ruling elites:

     This stunning article by Andrew Bolt alerts us to some of the implications of immigration/refugeeism:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/andrew-bolt/who-let-them-in-another-riot-and-an-ambush/news-story/7d6f1626e5a59ef3c28eefd14e86d49b:

“A memo was circulated to Victoria Police members this week expressing concerns about a “deliberate ploy” by groups of teenagers to “lure” officers into backstreets to attack them.
According to the memo, officers in a patrol car in Tarneit tailing a vehicle driven by a boy as young as 13 saw up to 40 teens of African appearance running towards a lane way.
“Police saw a group of Africans who were being very hostile ... as the vehicle approached Destiny Lane, a group of 30-40 Africans ran towards Destiny Lane,’’ it said.
“It’s believed this was a deliberate ploy to lure police into the lane way, with no escape or exit paths unless they drove through (a) group of people … (where they could be) easily surrounded.’’

     As a Christmas present, the noble editor and his lovely wife, whom I have met once, posted to me a nice hardback copy of Camille Paglia’s Glittering Images: A Journey through Art from Egypt to Star Wars  (2012). The book ranges over a massive number of topics, and I cannot adequately assess much of the material because I don’t have a university education, and even if I did, it would be, like centuries old, and irrelevant to the world of pop culture, which is concerned with the here and now.  Sure, I have heard of Any Warhol, paintings of soup tins, everybody is famous for 15 minutes, Star Wars, and the like.
     However, the opening page of the book, which ties all of this up caught my eye:

“Modern life is a sea of images. Our eyes are flooded by bright pictures and clusters of text flashing at us from every direction. The brain, overstimulated, must rapidly adapt to process this swirling barrage of disconnected data. Culture in the developed world is largely defined by all-pervasive mass media and slavishly monitored personal electronic devices.  The exhilarating expansion of instant global communication has liberated a host of individual voices but paradoxically threatened to overwhelm individuality itself.
     How to survive in this age of vertigo? We must learn to see. Amid so much jittery clutter, it is crucial to find focus, the basis of stability, identity, and life direction.  Children above all deserve rescue from the torrential stream of flickering images, which addict them to seductive distractions and make social reality, with its duties and ethical concerns, seem dull and futile.  The only way to teach focus is to present the eye with opportunities for steady perception – best supplied by the contemplation of art.  Looking at art requires stillness and receptivity, which realign our senses and produce a magical tranquillity.”

     Rapper, or is it candy wrapper, Eminem, is at it again:
https://usaherald.com/eminem-raps-kidnapping-ivanka-trump-raping-ann-coulter/

“Following Eminem’s controversial freestyle rap “The Storm,” he continues to slam the President and other political figure(s) with whom he disagrees with. On his latest album, “Like Home,” the 45-year-old rapper expressed his desire to place First Daughter Ivanka Trump in his car trunk and rape conservative commentator Ann Coulter, as reported by Breitbart News.”

     This is what happens when “good’ men do nothing for too long, and just allow it to happen; the elites viciously turn on local inhabitants and begin to demographically replace them, because Europe is “too white”:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/12/18/eu-white-mass-migration-norm/

“Brussels has said that Europeans must accept mass migration from the third world as the “new norm”, warning that neither walls nor policies will allow any part of the EU to remain “homogenous and migration-free”.
“It’s time to face the truth. We cannot and will never be able to stop migration,” writes EU Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos, in a piece for POLITICO, published Monday entitled, “Europe’s Migrants Are Here to Stay”.
In it, the Eurocrat wrote “human mobility will increasingly define the 21st century”, and that mass migration is an issue Brussels has committed Europe to “for the long haul”, stating: “Migration is deeply intertwined with our policies on economics, trade, education and employment — to name just a few.”
