Australians, obviously enough, may not be able to feel the same intense disappointment which we American traditionalists, now feel about President Donald Trump. He was elected to stand up to the globalists, and the globalists like Soros and Obama have been working to destroy his presidency:

     Here is Putin on Soros: “Make no mistake, his endgame is revolution through civil war. In America he is using exactly the same tactics he uses everywhere.”  “George Soros is a well-known pyromaniac with matches in his back pocket pouring petrol onto a bonfire.” “He does not own the world and he does not have the right to do whatever he wants. The people must come together and reject this dragon. We have no room for his divisive politics in Russia, and I think you will all agree we are much the better for that. With all due respect, America must reject George Soros’s vision.”  Putin regards Soros as a threat to Russian national security. Have a read what Soros thinks:

    The title is from Jeremiah 8:20. The quotation from the Old Book occurred to me when I read these statistics about Islam in the UK:

Mayor of London ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Birmingham ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Leeds ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Blackburn ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Sheffield ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Oxford ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Luton ... MUSLIM     
Mayor of Oldham ... MUSLIM 
Mayor of Rochdale ... MUSLIM 

     This is a good time to mention a new book by US social critic Ann Coulter
http://www.vdare.com/articles/ann-coulter-on-charlottesville-when-liberals-club-people-its-with-love-in-their-hearts?content=him%20a
https://www.amazon.com/Demonic-How-Liberal-Endangering-America/dp/0307353494
     Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America, released on August 7, 2017. The book is already out of date in the light of the aftermath of Charlottesville, which has given the Establishment the motivation to close down numerous websites and Facebook shutdowns, along with the cancellation of  PayPal accounts even for sites not associated with the Unite the Right march:
https://www.counter-currents.com/2017/08/counter-currents-under-attack-2/#more-74189
    The above link gives a summary of what is happening in the US as a globalist payback for daring to challenge the genocidal system now in place. My guess is that things will accelerate now and eventually we will see all sites opposing globalism shut down. It is easy to start with the radicals and work down the list, just as they did in banning guns.
    Welcome back to the days before the internet folks! Perhaps President Putin could help? Maybe it’s time to set up a new ethnostate in the Siberian region and just let the rest of the West rot?

     Oh, how much Attorney-General George Brandis is like the US Senator John McCain, and they even vaguely look alike. Both are liberals and progressives rather than conservatives, but all those terms don’t mean much anymore in our vibrant diverse world.
     Brandis condemned Pauline Hanson’s burqa stunt in the Senate, seeing it as undermining the cooperation of  “Australia’s half-million Muslims – the “vast majority of [whom] are good, law-abiding Australians” – are vital to intelligence and law enforcement agencies.”  Wow, are they really that fragile, that they cannot tolerate a political comment? Oh, I forgot, we don’t have freedom of speech in the Soviet Multicultural Fascist Republic of Australasia. And, only Anglos are expected to be tolerant while they are demographically displaced.

     Brandis “was so angry his voice was actually wobbling with emotion,” the SMH says. “Wobbling”…the image that brings up …

     Ok, could it be possible that Pauline may have been exploring religious diversity for just a moment, and now she has been pushed away? Just a thought…

to THE AUSTRALIAN
     Kevin Donnelly has beautifully summarized the nature of authentic education (‘Wear it Purple Day and other cultural-left moves sending us puce’, 21/8). Yes, it should be impartial and balanced, promote civility, humility, honesty and respect for valid reasoning, provide a fair assessment of our Western European cultural heritage and encourage appreciation of genuine artistic achievements.
     The wreckers on the left fear such an approach, because it exposes the falsity of much of what they proclaim and thus frustrates the inner satisfaction they derive from tearing down not just statues but a whole way of fruitful and joyful civilization. Thus, mimicking the protective reflex of the skunk, they pour out a tirade of insults, whereby patriots are denounced as racists or xenophobes and traditionalists are called bigots and reactionaries. The times are on the nose and ripe for another great prophet.

to THE AGE
     Depreciators of our custom of celebrating on Australia Day the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 (Letters, 21/8) forget how much there is in that event worthy of continued affirmation today.  Captain Phillip, a man of sterling courage and integrity, led a group of other very brave men to successfully establish an outpost of his culture in a frighteningly remote and puzzling land. Without their daring and boldness, the nation we live in today with such good fortune would not have been later established (1901) after the pioneering phase of the setting up of the colonies.
     The Eureka Rebellion, the Harvester decision, Federation, the Furneaux Islands Festival - none of these can match the human heroism and dedication of Phillip and his men, the drama of the landing or the relevance to us all of the event.

     Please do not be intimidated or cowed into thinking you cannot speak up for traditional marriage and for family and for children. You can and you should. There is absolutely nothing wrong with speaking up in the face of this attack on our society's foundations.

     Longtime reporter and commentator Mark Anderson of www.thetruthhound.com and www.steemit/@truthhound explores the major media's post-Charlottesville assault on nationhood and on truth, under the clever guise of stamping out "hate," and asks: Is Nationalism the core problem, or is it internationalism?

     Remember that Nick X team, who claim to stand for freedom and independence, voted against the reforms to section 18 C, for reasons you can well guess: http://www.skynews.com.au/news/top-stories/2017/03/31/senate-votes-down-18c-reforms.html

“Labor, the Greens, the Nick Xenophon Team and crossbencher Jacqui Lambie opposed changes to the wording of 18C, robbing the government of the 39 votes it needs to get it through the upper house.” 

     While “Normies” are liking to say “I’m not radical, don’t shut down my precious site,” the System moves on, going down the list of everyone they don’t like.

     We now have the news of Facebook blocking a traditional marriage campaign in the same sex marriage debate:
http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/opinion/opinion-free-speech-hijacked-by-gay-marriage-supporters/news-story/cd702eea8ca24f012645007647959486

     Here is a good article which I see as supporting in abstract, not by name, the noble Reduce Immigration  Write On Campaign: https://reduceimmigration.wordpress.com/
http://theconversation.com/why-a-population-of-say-15-million-makes-sense-for-australia-78391

     The article is entitled “Why a Population of, Say, 15 Million Makes Sense for Australia.” The article rightly notes that the two major parties accept rapid population growth, and so do the capitalists, the retailers, real estate developers, financial sector and media. They could have added university academics, and the entire new class  here too.

     North Korea has again threatened Australia for “blindly’ aggravating war:
http://www.smh.com.au/world/north-korea-warns-australia-against-suicidal-military-drills-with-united-states-20170821-gy13z7.html following on from previous threats of a nuclear strike on Australia:
http://www.news.com.au/world/asia/north-korea-threatens-australia-with-nuclear-strike-over-us-allegiance/news-story/fa28ccb9eaaff6c02f5c12bdc19bc227

     I am not sure how this will be played out. Most people dismiss the idea of Australia copping a nuke, but there is a scenario where North Korea shows that it means business by nuking Australia. Trump allows this, making us a sacrificial lamb, just like was done at Gallipoli. Australia, is, after all, expendable to these big players.

     The amazing world of the internet allows speedy communication. Sometimes you may click on an article, read it, and find, after finishing it, that things have moved on and an update has been posted. On-line journalism has a frantic, if not manic pace, but it is suicidal and ultimately destructive, imploding on itself. News drowns news, and in the end, one is too numbed to know what to think. Backache and eye-burn-out are part of the game.

     But, given that, here is my update on writings that supplement things which you have read here. First, Charlottesville, if it has not bored you yet, has obtained symbolic meaning for the American right:
http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2017/08/19/feelings-and-thoughts-on-charlottesville/
Apparently the antifa “is a major gift to the right”:
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/noam-chomsky-antifa-is-a-major-gift-to-the-right/article/2631786

     Here is a good piece poking fun at Australian prohibited weapons law:
http://gunwatch.blogspot.com.au/2017/08/australian-gun-culture-part-15.html
The laws relate to weapons that are not firearms. For example, Biblical era missile launchers, potato and water balloon launchers are banned. No crossbows, no slingshots as used by kids a few decades ago, all types of martial arts weapons (anything found in a Bruce Lee movie), no personal alarms, and the list goes on and on.

     But, to simplify, in America, which holds to the English common law position, now eroded in England and Australia, everything is allowed except that which is prohibited. But, in Australia, everything is prohibited, except what is allowed. As with every other issue, these erosions of freedoms have been allowed to occur over many decades because the masses of ordinary sheeple people just don’t take a stand against them. We have slid into being a totalitarian police state, and this is only early days yet. As the song says, they have only just begun:

     Even conservative cultural critics like me love to visit the ever-cranky Jim Goad over at Taki’s Mag to see what he has said about the latest piece of cultural collapse. He is my measuring stick of the collapse. How many minutes to Goad does humanity have left?
    Here is his take on Charlottesville, the lunar Left and Trump:

     Many angry four-letter words at this site, so do not go there if you are easily offended, as you must be by almost everything in our sinister society.

     A great existential survival article has appeared at the otherwise brief news service Breitbart.com: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/30/malloch-europa-eurabia-last-man/
by Ted Malloch, “Europa, Eurabia and the Last Man,” July 30, 2017.

     The reference to the “last man,” is to the description given by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, to depict world-weary men, concerned only for their personal comfort and security, who are incapable of defence, and thus are opportunistic pacifists. Nietzsche saw the West as heading towards the mass production of such “last men,” which would ultimately spell the doom of their societies when faced with an external threat.

     A story showing the degeneracy of the universities, as reflected in the wider society, is the saga of the mattress, as discussed by Bettina Arndt in The Australian, but covered by many others for a long time in the US: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/inquirer/mattress-girl-saga-a-warning-to-unis-on-sexual-assault-cases/news-story/daecd8a0b17438c2a2fc4a681d159da5.

“Last week the long saga over the Columbia University mattress girl came to an end. It was a costly lesson for the New York university and a sign that buying into the notion of a “campus rape culture” can prove a big mistake for esteemed centres of higher learning. Australian universities take note.
In 2015 the mattress girl, Emma Sulkowicz, became a global celebrity by turning what was found to be a false rape allegation into performance art by carrying her mattress with her everywhere on campus. She was protesting against Columbia’s decision not to take action against a young German student, Paul Nungesser, whom she’d accused of choking and anally raping her.
Columbia has now reached a confidential settlement with Nungesser following his lawsuit claiming the university supported “an outrageous display of harassment and defamation” by allowing Sulkowicz for three years to use her mattress to hold campus protests where people openly called him a rapist. Sulkowicz was given academic credit for the performance as part of her visual arts major and was allowed to carry the mattress in her graduation ceremony.
It’s most unlikely any jury would have convicted Nungesser given the facts of the case. There’s a Facebook message from Sulkowicz to Nungesser two days after the alleged rape saying she was keen to join in a party in his room. A month later she sought more contact: “I want to see youyououo¬you”. The following month she messaged: “I love you Paul. Where are you?” Hardly surprising that the university’s investigation found Nungesser not guilty of assault.
Similarly murky facts emerged in accusations made by two other women about Nungesser. Investigations were held. The man was found not guilty.”

     Ron Asher, In his new updated addition of "In the Jaws of the Dragon: How China is Taking Over New Zealand and Australia", ($40 posted from TrossPublishing.co.nz, 2017), is well recommended for all concerned about china’s aggressive buy ups of lands across the world. There is  lots of information about buy ups of farmland and property, but that is not what I want to focus on here.

     The bulk of the book performs the valuable task of locating China as a military threat to the free world. Trump, at the time of writing has blamed China for the North Korean missile tests, basically because China could have stopped them, but China has most likely given nuclear technical aid to North Korea to advance its nuclear program. Even the mainstream papers, which generally fall all over China, are beginning to have articles expressing some concern about China’s military might: The Australian, August 1, 2017, p. 11.

     Any economic activity that is created with the purpose of “creating Jobs” (i.e. human work) is irrational, wasteful, regressive, immoral and tyrannical.  Increases in production efficiency should provide our needs and wants while releasing us from toil.

     Distribution is an entirely different issue, to be effected increasingly by specific and appropriate means other than by earned income as technology displaces labour as a factor of production.
