WOKE TO BLOWIN' SMOKE!

If you have read Orwell's 1984 you will understand how Big Brothers indoctrination of citizens worked...it is hard at work today in the West for example; there are many in the Western university system who would say that 2 + 2 = 5, or 6 or any number the 'elites' want them to say without a second thought. 

These are the same people who have been brainwashed into believing that on the one hand they live in the most oppresive culture on earth:

If there are luckier young women in the world than those who attend Cornell and other American universities, it is hard to imagine who they might be. Yet, they have been so effectively indoctrinated by their left-wing instructors in elementary school, high school, and college, they walk around thinking of themselves as victims – of “systemic oppression” in what is probably the freest and most opportunity-giving society in human history. [D Prager]

...and yet on the other hand many claim that today's kids are the most intelligent cohort of human beings to ever walk this earth because so many of them now attend university. The reality is that it is precisely because of the latter that the former is a big joke:

The nation’s public schools are a mess. Only 37 percent of 12th graders tested proficient in reading and only 25 percent in maths. Yet the inability to read or do maths seems to be no barrier to college. Unprepared students are flooding into college in record numbers. The Bureau of Labour Statistics says 70 percent of white high-school graduates and 58 percent of black graduates in 2016 enrolled in college. In his syndicated column, Walter E. Williams asks, “If only 37 percent of white high school graduates test as college-ready, how come colleges are admitting 70 percent of them? And if roughly 17 percent of black high school graduates test as college-ready, how come colleges are admitting 58 percent of them? It’s inconceivable that college administrators are unaware that they are admitting students who are ill-prepared and cannot perform at the college level.”
From the Walter Williams article quoted above:

College professors dumb down their courses so that ill-prepared students can get passing grades. Colleges also set up majors with little analytical demands so as to accommodate students with analytical deficits. Such majors often include the term “studies,” such as ethnic studies, cultural studies, gender studies... The major for the most ill-prepared students, sadly enough, is education. When students’ SAT scores are ranked by intended major, education majors place 26th on a list of 38.

QANTAS CEASAR

Good on ya Issy.

Israel Folau shows the courage that has made him a legend on the rugby field, it is also a powerful indicator of why Australian rugby has fallen to its knees in recent years. Who would have thought that in Australia you can be persecuted for holding a Christian worldview. We need to fight back now while we still have a voice:

"Not long ago, these ideas would not have been so foreign in a nation with a strong Christian heritage such as ours.

Yet Folau is being relentlessly pursued as a dissident.

First his comments were denounced in the media and criticised by Rugby Australia.

Second, Qantas amped up the pressure by grumbling about their sponsorship of the Wallabies.

Third, he was hauled before Rugby Australia bosses to explain himself under the threat of sanction.

Fourth, the public were told he would be under scrutiny concerning his social media use.

The media storm, criticism from other sportspeople, and murmurings from Rugby Australia continue.

The whole saga bears the same hallmarks as the treatment of Margaret Court during last years’ same-sex marriage debate.

Armchair experts will say that Folau should have used different words. But he shouldn’t have to be an expert wordsmith or political communicator to say what he believes. Like most people, he speaks with the voice of an ordinary Australian. When that voice is shut down in the public square, you can be sure that the more articulate voices will soon face the same fate.

In the last 24 hours, other players have continued to criticise Folau and Rugby Australia boss, Raelene Castle, has been called on to answer for his beliefs again.

Folau tweeted an 11-minute sermon by evangelist David Wilkerson (see inserted video) in which Wilkerson warns of the imminent return of Christ, the reality of judgement and hell, and the need for repentance. He also warns of false teachers and false Christ’s who will deny truths like sin and judgement." [Martyn ILyes]

Personally I will try my hardest NOT to fly Qantas where ever I can, not while it is being run by a little rainbow tyrant who thinks that the national carrier is his(ze's?) own personal fiefdom.

OSTRICHES BEGET HORROR

In 1794 the French 'revolutionary committee' banned the worship of God and replaced it with the 'cult of reason', and thereafter executed thousands of people it accused of 'heresy'. This man-centered cult of reason, the French revolution laid the groundwork and the intellectual foundation for the birth to two other 'egalitarian' cults; Fascism and Communism...both of which flourish in today's swamp of 'victim-hood'.

If history is any indicator, and I believe it is, then for us to merely stand around and hide our heads in the sand about the cultural war taking place in our midst, then we should not be surprised when the guillotine arrives to lop off said heads. 

Just as in South Africa we had to make a decision whether or not to obey the unjust laws or whether to become in the eyes of human law, outlaws, so in our present condition I believe we must find ways to counter the radical agenda of the left in our midst. 

If that means merely an occasional post on Facebook or to march in street protests or to voice your displeasure at a family gathering I have no idea...each person fights the good fight according to their own level of enlightenment, but fight we must, if only for the sake of our children. We need to pick a side because the division has become a chasm and our civilisation is being white-anted by the fifth columnists in our midst.

Although many of these hapless 'intellectuals', journalists, scientists, and politicians are little more than Lenin's 'useful idiots' they are participating in the destruction of a civilisation that has been a beacon of hope, rationality and peace for the greatest number of citizens for a substantial period of time. Sure, there have been and continue to be problems with the West, no human society is without them. 

The question we should ask is why? 

Not because of the 'rules' accredited to the civilisation itself per se, but because of the curse of mans fallen nature, something the Utopianists deny and are thus feted to repeat the error of the French revolutionaries and every revolutionary in the name of radical egalitarianism thereafter; that is to pursue their philosophy of the perfectibility of human society by the imposition of societal laws and regulations:

Both Communism and Fascism attempted to transform the world to create a perfected society. Both ideologies were deprived of their power with the defeat of Nazi Germany and the discrediting of Stalinism and subsequent fall of the Soviet Union. But the secular belief that man could perfect the world in his own image, and in ways that would brook no dissent, merely mutated in the latter half of the 20th century into what J.E. Talmon termed “cultural totalitarianism”. [M Phillips]
