America has had its worst shooting, with gunman Stephen Paddock slaughtering primarily White Americans at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest festival:

     The ISIS convert, is one theory, and it may fit in with claims that about 45 minutes before the shooting a Hispanic women said that “you’re all going to [rude f  word] die”:

     Christ was not a ‘revolutionary’ (5/10) but a spiritual teacher calling those interested to seek ‘the kingdom of heaven’, a kingdom ‘not of this world’.  He did not approve of the sins of sinners, whether they were ‘the unpopular groups’ in society or members of the establishment.  He has left no record of how he would vote in the current postal survey; but one feels he would not have succumbed to simplistic slogans or have lacked compassion for those with whom he disagreed.

     The political crisis in Spain involving the secessionist Catalonian campaign reminds us how fortunate we are to live in a firmly united nation, far removed from the possibility of civil war. Or do we?

      Various campaigns from left-wing idealists threaten our own stability and security: ‘same-sex marriage’ and a general assault against the church; ‘constitutional recognition’ of our so-called ‘first peoples’; an open doors approach to refugees and immigration; a politicized education system that deliberately muffles the voices of traditional wisdom; the erosion of free speech; anti-American fanaticism, and so on.
     Other Australians must not just sit by and let it all happen. Edmund Burke’s famous warning must be heeded: that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

     The Establishment was deeply upset, Deep-State-upset, by the events of Charlottesville,  where the Alt Right demonstrated against the removal of the General Lee monument. The event which was pounced on to show presumably conclusively, that White men are bad men, was the alleged murder by car by James Alex Fields, of Heather Heyer. This event was used to remove many Alt Right sites from the web.
    However, it now transpires that Heyer, who was, shall we say, weight challenged, like big time, died of a heart attack, according to an NBC interview that her mother made:

http://www.vdare.com/articles/anarcho-tyranny-update-mounting-proof-that-the-charlottesville-five-are-political-prisoners

     There is some debate on the web about whether or not Heyer was even hit by Field’s car, although most believe that she was. Opinion has it that Fields was under attack by antifa, and fled, striking the people whom he hit. Heyer had a heart attack from the stress, and thus did not die of blunt trauma. The authorities have not released the autopsy report, so we can be sure that they are hiding something.

      I have mentioned this book before, but have now finished it, looking at the Kindle version, which is much cheaper than paper: Roy Barzilai, The Testosterone Hypothesis: How Hormones Regulate the Life Cycles of Civilizations:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Testosterone-Hypothesis-Hormones-Regulate-Civilization-ebook/dp/B00WT870N6

     The book deals with themes dear to my heart, such as that Western Christian civilisation is collapsing all around us, yet little is being done to halt the decline. Sure, there are some dedicated people, but we are talking about the uprising of millions of people.

     The violence which we have seen of the antifa in American and Europe, will no doubt be replicated here in Australia. It is well known now, that antifa protestors, who break the law, get treated with kid gloves by the corrupt legal system, while those of the Right get smashed with an iron fist:
http://www.vdare.com/articles/anarcho-tyranny-update-mounting-proof-that-the-charlottesville-five-are-political-prisoners

     The antifa types who assaulted people, including a pensioner, during the Pauline Hanson protests of the late 1990s, as far as I have ever been able to ascertain, got away with it. Those who have smashed up offices and damaged property, never have been charged, or if charged, imprisoned. Yet, we need only put one hair out of line, and whack!

     The Latin dance song “Despacito” (“Slowly”) has had 3.9 billion hits:

There, now it has a few more.
Most people, would have looked at the film clip, because the song is not much, because of its sex content, hot Latin dirty dancing, big girls, and tough gang banger guys, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. Muscle and tats, yeah!

     The differences in coverage of the Las Vegas shooting between Australian and American “conservative” journalists is stark. For example, Ann Coulter, who has published numerous best-selling books, said this:
https://www.amren.com/commentary/2017/10/media-find-las-vegas-shooters-motive-hes-white/

“If the media are going to keep wailing about how vital a free press is, could they start reporting stuff?
There’s a remarkable number of dangling facts about Stephen Paddock’s mass murder in Las Vegas, which the media have shown little inclination to investigate. It’s almost as if they’re worried that too much investigation will ruin it.
For example:
Who was the woman shouting, “YOU’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!” right before the concert? Is any reporter interested in finding out? Probably a random crazy lady, but that’s not typical pre-concert behavior.
Why is it taking so long to find out if anyone else went into Paddock’s hotel room since he checked in last Thursday? I’m perfectly prepared to accept that he was the only one who entered that room, but can we see the surveillance video?
The sum-total of the information we know about Marilou Danley, the woman who’s been living with Paddock for years is the following: She was out of the country at the time of the attack. She’s not involved.
Paddock had apparently assembled an enormous arsenal of weapons. Did she know about it? Did he tell her why? Had his behavior changed recently? Why wasn’t he with her on her trip? Had they broken up? And why did Paddock recently wire $100,000 to the Philippines?
Within hours of the first indictments in the Duke lacrosse case—later, all thrown out—the media was bristling with information about the players’ parents, the homes they grew up in, the ritziness of their neighborhoods, and the tuition at their Catholic high schools. Doesn’t any reporter want to ask Danley anything?”

     My bee in my bonnet lately is about manhood, its fall, and how it could rise again like a phoenix from the ashes. To warm up, here is a great quote from an article on the same topic by Guillaume Durocher “Neither Wrath, Nor Cowardice:
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/10/neither-wrath-nor-cowardice/

“Anyone who studies the thought and ways of our ancestors can only be struck by their manly vigour and toughness. Material comfort and mass miseducation have taken their toll on modern Western man, turning him, with every generation, into a more and more effeminate creature. The ancients knew that without manly courage, political and personal freedom is impossible. One will not take the inevitable risks of living the truth without courage. Today, the great bulk of the men of the West do not have the courage to dare to even think the truth, let alone speak the truth, let alone act upon the truth. For the ancients, knowledge of the truth meant having the courage to even die for one’s beliefs if that were necessary. Effeminate cowardice was, for them, a great evil.”

     This is a very interesting discussion by psychology professor Jordan Peterson, about the need to set up an online university:

     The argument is that the existing universities in the West are intellectually corrupt because of the death grip which cultural Marxism and other toxic doctrines such as postmodernism have on them. There is much written along these lines and the examples of absurdities flowing from the university system are many:

     In my big bag of books and material that I lug to the community library to work on articles, I have a copy of Jim Penman’s The Hungary Ape: Biology and the Fall of Civilisations  (The Author, 1992). Although Jim has a PhD in history, he is well know for his very successful businesses such as Jim’s Mowing and a multitude of other Jim’s businesses.

     The 1992 book, produced outside of the academy showed a fine critical mind at work. He predicted a complete collapse of Western civilisation and its culture, such as science and technology, and a swamping of the West by the Third World. The decline was due to a kind of decline in biochemical vigour, and by personality and attitude characteristics, such as oral restraint, which are distinguishing features  of high level cultures. The collapse of restraint will lead to the collapse of the West.

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Intellectual probity demands a fairer public commentary on icons of the ‘hard right’. The usually reliable Jennifer Oriel defers regrettably to political correctness (‘Red October led us to genocide’, 9/10). No, it’s not admirable that ‘Nazi is a term of derision’ and that ‘Hitler is held up for scorn’ in our educational establishments. A subtler and more nuanced analysis would be more accurate and honest. And if our ‘young people’ learn about ‘the horrors of the Holocaust’, it’s unlikely that they also learn about the current horror of the persecution of Holocaust revisionists.

    Nor should the government of General Franco in Spain be misrepresented as a ‘fascist dictatorship’ (Matthew Campbell, ‘Catalan separatists feed on a history of violence’). Franco was a Catholic Christian patriot and former army officer of exceptional courage and competence. His coup was designed to ensure that his native land would not fall victim to a Leninist-style tyranny such as Russians then languished under.

     I have now finished reading the 506 pages of Andrew Fraser’s Dissident Dispatches: An Alt Right Guide to Christian Theology, (Arktos, London, 2017). Obviously enough, there is an enormous amount of material here, and some of it is complex for a simple person like me. The philosophers here will eat it up, but I am sure they will find it a depressing read, because Fraser basically documents the same decay that we see in the universities, in theological colleges. Maybe this out-of-control liberalism is worse, because some of the characters seem to be little more than cultural Marxist Social Justice Warriors, although “wankers” would be a better word for the “W” place. They are the “Communist Party at prayer.”

     Fraser, a retired law professor, and author of the ethno-racial treatise, The WASP Question (Arktos, London, 2011), went to study at a theological college because he thought that the study of Christian theology would aid in his understanding of the ethno-pathology, of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, not supporting their own group interest, but working, either consciously or unconsciously, to destroy their kind.

     Long-suffering men, don’t get your hopes up over the suggestions of an overhaul of the Family Law Act. This Act was an early politically correct attack upon men and the family, and has brought untold misery to many, the brainchild of Fabian socialist Lionel Murphy.
     The reforms are basically to save money and court time, so that disputes are solved faster: The Australian, September 28, 2017, p. 1. Yes, but so what if the initial basis from which this law starts is flawed?
     No fault divorce, said to be necessary for feminism and all that jazz, has been a disaster. Put reform of this law, on a long list of “things to do after the collapse.”
    Here is what one lawyer, who was on the receiving end of family law thinks about it:

     There has been concerns for a number of years now about the decline, if not crash, of fish populations across the world, with one prediction being the end of ocean fish populations by 2050:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1533125/All-seafood-will-run-out-in-2050-say-scientists.html
https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/06/03/the-end-of-fish/?utm_term=.8ee99bf45449

     More recent studies indicate that the end of fish date has shifted much closer, with a University of Washington study finding that populations of older fish have dropped by 72 percent on average, and for some species, such as red snapper, by more than 95 percent. Older fish tend to be veteran reproducers, and have more offspring. Natural News was quite alarmed about this and proclaimed that the collapse of fish populations “may lead to the fall of human civilization”:

     I have written about the issue of the decline of sperm, and of manhood before at this noble site, but now bring an update.

     Researchers from the Hadassah-Hebrew University, H. Levine (et al.), “Temporal Trends in Sperm Count: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Analysis,” Human Reproduction Update, (2017); doi: 10.1093/humupd/dmx022,  conducted a meta-analysis, a type of statistical synthesis of published studies (more complex: simple linear models, meta-regression models, and sensitivity analyses), and found a 59.3 percent decline in total sperm count among men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. There was not found to be a statistically significant decline in sperm count in South America or Africa, but much fewer studies have been conducted there which makes the sample of studies therefore unrepresented in this respect.

     We as Christians pray for the souls of all of the departed, especially the most evil ones, in the hope that prior to death they recognise the evil of their ways and repent and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

     Hugh Hefner, who founded the Playboy empire, lived an evil life of sex and debauchery, and contributed to the destruction of the West. He, to the very end, thought that he was a “progressive,” moving the West away from the puritanism of Christianity with his shameful hedonistic lifestyle of sexual indulgence. Hefner said that his proudest achievement was to make premarital sex acceptable. That was the Playboy philosophy, and Hefner actually thought that he was an intellectual, rather than just a mere pornographer:

     By the time you read this, the results will be known, but they are likely to be negative. Catalan has conducted a “banned” referendum about independence from Spain, and the Spanish government has responded as any despot would do, seizing over 2.5 million ballots, as the Madrid Deep State uses the police to squash the referendum:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4934218/Tractors-roll-Barcelona-ahead-independence-vote.html

     The High Court, surprise, surprise, ruled that the referendum was illegal, even though this essentially begs the question about the “legality” of such a decision, and legal body itself.  As well, the court ordered Google to delete an app which Catalan separatists were using to publicise the referendum. There’s free speech for you!

     Before leaving teaching I clearly saw why students were doing so poorly, especially boys; political correctness and the trendy progressive agenda by Left wing teachers were destroying our youth, particularly by the actions of feminist teachers.

     Now we again have the public angst of wearing the fact that the average Australian student is barely equal to the most disadvantaged of Singapore’s students: The Australia, September 27, 2017, p. 1. In other word’s our students are absolutely hopeless at the basics, maths, reading and science. And, the sacred economy is going to suffer. Yet the corrupt corporate class continues to support trendy progressive issues, even though the longer-term consequences will be contrary to their economic interests. Maybe the great deluded think that immigration will cure all, even apocalypses.

     American football has embraced political correctness big time, with bended knee protests against Trump, and the White people who keep this stupid multiracial sport afloat. For example:

http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2017/09/26/sports-illustrated-reveals-new-cover-athletes-united-against-president-trump/

“There has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change,” Popovich explained. “Whether it’s the LGBT movement, women’s suffrage, race, it doesn’t matter. People have to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people because we’re comfortable. We still have no clue of what being born white means.”
