FACTS OMITTED FROM THE HISTORY BOOKS

If you are wondering why this would be so:

"Churchill told the King everything, all the secrets of the Second World War…the King presents (in his diary) Churchill’s enormous frustration and irritation with the Roosevelt administration in America for not being more bellicose, the glacial way it approached the Second World War. Because Churchill saw it as a war for civilisation and democracy of course, and that America should’ve got much more involved much earlier." - [Andrew Roberts]

Then you need to do some research on how much Roosevelt admired Mussolini:

"We can throw light on this question by examining the mutual admiration society between the FDR administration and Mussolini’s Italian fascists, and also the praise that the Nazis heaped upon FDR’s New Deal in the early 1930s. Hitler, Mussolini and FDR seem to have regarded each other as ideological kindred spirits. This is a subject hardly mentioned in progressive textbooks or progressive historiography.

In 1933, FDR responded to a journalist who asked him his view of Mussolini. “I don’t mind telling you that I am keeping in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman.” That same year FDR again gave his view of Mussolini to Breckinridge Long, US ambassador to Rome. “There seems to be no question that he is really interested in what we are doing and I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy.” [D D'souza]

ENTER THE FLOATING SMILE

"Hoaxes are a kind of false flag operation to cast as villains the victims of such attacks. They are a hallmark of Soviet communism’s strategy of psychological warfare in creating a looking-glass world where nothing is what it seems.

Israel is a prime victim of this hoax politics. The whole Palestinian narrative — cooked up originally by Yasser Arafat in cahoots with the former Soviet Union—is a false flag operation, a hoax that falsely blames its Israeli victim of appalling crimes of which it is innocent but of which the Palestinian perpetrator is itself guilty.

Hoax politics is an example of cultural totalitarianism that fries the brain and creates a climate of political, intellectual and moral chaos.

It’s why so many of us feel that the world has spun off its axis of reason altogether. And it’s why the whole anti-Israel and anti-Jew pathology that has erupted in the West is part of a broader and devastating cultural nervous breakdown."

BLUNDER BY THE PRESS DOWN UNDER

It is truly astonishing that people still believe what the main stream media(MSM) have to say.

I realise that we all have to believe something otherwise we would just go mad, like living in the world of crazy queens and body-less Cheshire cats, but believing the revisionist drivel that emerges from the 'pens' of most left-wing journalists these days is just plain lazy and quite frankly stupid!

The list of fake and blindly prejudiced 'news' stories that have been exposed surely should give most reasonable people room for pause...but no, it appears many still follow in the pathetic wake of the fakers-of-news or what Winston would call the Ministry of Truth.

For the most part, Winston is a typical cog in the machine. He works at the Ministry of Truth, but he has a very low-ranking position. His job is tedious and involves altering records to promote the government's version of history.  [1984; A summary by Catherine W]

Well we are currently witnessing another blunder by the press down-under; that is the 'progressive' Machiavellian's who enthusiastically promoted the (alleged) fiction of the lynching and bleaching of Jessie Smollett by two of his friends/work colleagues wearing MAGA hats (too bad they don't take the slogan seriously).

One would think that three professional actors would have made a more convincing fantasy of it given that they even evidently rehearsed it, but unfortunately no, what we have instead is the stupidity and hubris of 'celebrity' culture on full and glaringly embarrassing display.

Nonetheless 'our ABC' reported it in all its gleeful, racially charged ignominy.
Now that it is falling apart should we to expect an apology from the great wasters of our hard earned taxes?
I fear not, after all who do we think we are?
We are after all mere peasants to be moved about the board of history by the great and famous at their desire and for their benefit...nothing to see here...move along!:

Australian readers might find little unusual in this story, not least because improbable tales of Trumpian toxicity have been six-a-penny since the first days of this outsiders’ presidency. The Sydney Morning Herald‘s strangely disappeared man in North American, multiple Walkley winner Paul McGeough, provided what may well stand forevermore as the greatest example of confirmation bias since the New York Times‘ Walter Duranty informed Americans that the kulaks couldn’t be happier and reports of genocidal famine in Stalin’s USSR needed truckloads of salt. It’s worth quoting an extended slab of McGeough’s, er, reporting because almost all incidents he mentions beneath the November 19, 2016, headline ‘Make America Hate Again‘ turned out to be hoaxes. To help set the record straight, which two years later the SMH still has not done, the links inserted below lead to the real stories.

• In California, Turkish-American student Esra Altun was attacked in a parking lot at San Jose State University by a man who wrenched off her hijab and attempted to choke her with it.
• In New York, Fariha Nizam, a Bengali-American born and raised in the US, was berated on a city bus by an older white couple demanding that she remove her hijab.
• In Michigan, police say a Muslim woman in Ann Arbor was reportedly made to remove her hijab by a white man who threatened to set her ablaze with a lighter.
• In Texas, a Zambian student on her way to classes at Baylor University was called a n—-r and pushed from the footpath by a male student who told her he was “just trying to make America great again”.
• In New York state, students hung a black doll from a noose in an elevator at Canisius College in Buffalo.
•  At the University of Pennsylvania, black freshman students were added to GroupMe chats, in which they were invited to “daily lynchings”.
•  At a middle school in Michigan, the white students taunted their Latino classmates with a Trump slogan – “Build a wall!” – and at a school in New Jersey, they chanted: “Ten feet higher! Ten feet higher!”
•  In Georgia, an anonymous note was passed to a Muslim teacher saying her “headscarf isn’t allowed any more” and “hang yourself with it”.
•  In Maryland, a banner announcing a Spanish-language service at a church in Silver Springs was defaced with the words “Trump nation whites only”.
• In New York state, a swastika and the “Make America White Again” slogan were painted on the wall of a dugout at a softball field in Wellsville. In Indiana, “Heil Trump” and a swastika were daubed on a church.
•  In the Pennsylvania suburbs, a woman found her car daubed with “Trump rules!” and “Black bitch”. In North Carolina, graffiti on a Durham wall read, “Black lives don’t matter and neither does your vote”.
•  In those cases where no arrests were made, initial claims remain blanketed with clouds of darkest doubt. For those interested, scores of similar hoaxes perpetrated by their alleged victims are listed here. (http://www.fakehatecrimes.org/fakes?page=1)

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF

How peculiar that this excerpt is from an 'atheist website'...it seems that truth is emerging not from the 'official church' these days but from sources seemingly opposed to it, but nevertheless full of that once powerful cultural quality we called 'common sense'.

The excerpt is from an article bemoaning the current left-wing push for infanticide:

"It really makes you wonder how people could be this cynical. And getting back to Breitbart's maxim: What kind of culture could produce this? I think the best description is that it is one that sees people as things; mere objects to be exploited by the rich and powerful. It's a culture of commodification of humanity.
And as with so many aspects of culture, it seems to have religious roots. In this case it obviously didn't come from Christianity, since that faith affirms the dignity of the individual person, and many Christians are zealously pro-life. Babylonian Moloch-worship seems to be the ultimate historical force behind this culture.
It's totally bizarre but nonetheless true that many rich and powerful people in the West have been secret members of this and similar anti-Christian religions, cults and secret societies. This has gone on quietly in the shadows for centuries, and now more and more people are waking up to the fact that many of the so-called "great and the good" in Washington in particular got there through allegiance to one or more of these shadowy groups." [M Hayden]

Just two or three days ago some friends and I were discussing trends in Western society.
It appears that having successfully devalued the benefits of the Judeo-Christian worldview in the Western nations people are nevertheless still looking for some expressions of 'spirituality', albeit one that does not make too many demands on the 'believer' and preferably bestows some credibility to boot...for example many of the cultist adoptions by the virtue signalling super rich 'celebrities' feeling guilty about having so much.

The 17th C philosopher/mathematician Blaise Pascal referred to it as the 'God shaped vacuum' in peoples lives.

Anyway, it appears that the philosophies now emerging with second and third generation unbelievers are echoes of ancient belief systems, hence the above excerpt.
I see it in the 'burning man' and 'dark Mofo' 'festivals in America and Australia amongst many other emerging 'cultural events'.

Welcome to irrationality and superstition on steroids.

WAKE UP!

Last night we attended a meeting at church and at the end a lady stood up to ask for prayer for her brother. He is a coffee farmer in Zimbabwe with a productive plantation and has been there for many decades providing employment and taxes through all the troubles. A day ago he was unceremoniously hauled out of bed in the early morning and thrown into jail. Why? Because the minister of agriculture wants his farm. 

When people in Australia look favourably upon Socialism it makes me mad. Its dumb and stupid.
De Tocqueville said it best...small god; big government, big God; small government.
Romans 12:9...Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 

Hate Socialism, it is evil!

TO BE IS NOT TO BE

The world we are inhabiting is increasingly reflecting what I imagine the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah would have resembled.

If one views television; any/most programs really, but of special fascination are the morally free-falling 'reality' shows...or take the time to peruse the headlines of supermarket magazines, or listen to a popular music programme on the radio and reflect on the lyrics. If you pay attention to politics and the increasingly narrow, niche policies of activist minorities which are occupying centre stage, or go to a movie or attend the theatre or a concert of some form, you might have noticed how these once ordinary activities have morphed into an open portal offering a world of vacant 'celebrity' sleaze, superficiality, degradation, lies, desperation and a suicidal meaninglessness.

Evidently 1 in 6 Americans consumes anti-depressants (possibly under-reported) and the opioid crisis (people self-medicating for health or escape purposes) is completely out of hand. The statistics in our 'lucky country' are not too different unfortunately.

The Western worldview has been so hollowed out by unceasing attacks on its Judeo-Christian foundations that most citizens now appear to sleep walk through a life that lacks any reason for existence. This is then exacerbated by the relentless assertion that humans are nothing more than an accidental collision of atomic emissions emerging from the primordial swamp.

Who can blame the average person for feeling a little depressed?

The net result is a culture where people become obsessed with money/power/fame (Nietzsche) or radical hedonists (Epicureanism*) or they become existential nihilists# or they just give up; hence the shocking statistics regarding suicides, especially amongst young people.

All of these fixations increase the likelihood that people are going to grasp onto some weird and fantastical beliefs in order to give their lives meaning, to fill what the 16th Century philosopher Blaise Pascal termed the 'God shaped vacuum'.

Take for example the climate change cult and its underlying ideology; the many times tried and failed Marxist philosophy which is taking root in far too many Western societies.

What is that cliche about the definition of madness being doing the same thing time and again and expecting a different result each time?
How many times must Marxism be tried and fail with its concomitant devastating consequences before people believe?

The new star of the (increasingly radical) Democratic Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (left) attends a symposium on 21 January where she is asked if it is moral to have “a world that allows for billionaires.” She replies it is not, adding that “a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health is wrong.” By the way, before I look at the morality of having billionaires, ringworm is a common fungal infection that can strike anyone and is easily treated with antifungal creams obtainable inexpensively from any local pharmacy. The clunky machinery of public health is not required.
In the blink of an eye Ms Ocasio-Cortez has become sufficiently celebrated to be referred to as “AOC”; like, say, FDR, LBJ or JFK. Fortunately for America she is only twenty-nine years old and therefore can’t run for the presidency. A recent poll found that 74% of Democrats would consider voting for her were she to run. The rational mind boggles. [Peter Smith]

Truly Democratic societies often achieve the sum total of what its citizens say they want...the problem is that when, like these days, their desires are not deeply considered or reasoned through it ends up with them(the people) not wanting what they get, and in the case of Marxist ideology it will be too late because revolutionary theory is summed up thus; one vote once!

* Epicureanism is a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, founded around 307 BC. Epicurus was an atomic materialist, following in the steps of Democritus. His materialism led him to a general attack on divine intervention and led to a lifestyle wedded to luxury or indulgence in sensual pleasures.
# Nihilism is the philosophical viewpoint that suggests the denial or lack of belief towards the reputedly meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

TRUE SCARY

Real 'toxic whiteness'

BIRDBRAINS OF A FEATHER

Ocasio-Cortez, the American high Priestess of hard left quackery displays her 'smarts'(sarc) once more:

"It (she) called for a complete transition away from fossil fuels…within a decade, upgrading all buildings in the country, and the slaughter of all cows because their farts produce methane. No, I’m not kidding. Oh, and “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.”[M Vespa]

How on earth do these morons get into public office...Oh Yes! the moronic public vote them in. Birdbrains of a feather stick together no doubt.

Please will you the voter undertake a little research BEFORE you vote. 

Voting in a free democracy has been a responsibility hard won and over the dead bodies of many good and faithful people...use it with respect PLEASE!

On Thursday Ms. Ocasio-Cortez unveiled her vaunted Green New Deal, complete with the details of how Democrats plan to reach climate nirvana in a mere 10 years. It came in the form of a resolution, sponsored in the Senate by Massachusetts’ Edward Markey, on which AOC is determined to force a full House vote. That means every Democrat in Washington will get to go on the record in favor of abolishing air travel, outlawing steaks, forcing all American homeowners to retrofit their houses, putting every miner, oil rigger, livestock rancher and gas-station attendant out of a job, and spending trillions and trillions more tax money. Oh, also for government-run health care, which is somehow a prerequisite for a clean economy.

Where have we heard of this Utopian dream before I wonder?

Oh yes; USSR, China, Cambodia, North Korea (still in the grip), Cuba (ditto), Venezuela, Zimbabwe...need I go on?

HEIL SOMEONE OR ANOTHER

Independent politics as it plays out in the Australian arena:

THE HAICHES HAVE IT

The line that runs through each human heart is both horrible and holy making us capable of either good or evil and our choices determine the ultimate destination of heaven or hell.

SURE-FIRE WINNER

I have an interesting idea for making oodles of cash out of the least admirable loons in American society.

Bullying those you aren’t afraid of has recently been renamed Punching Up.

How about putting a couple of  equally despicable whack-job ideologies in a cage together?

Imagine setting the Westboro Baptist's best mauler against a Black Hebrew Israelite's thug?

Ticket sales would go through the roof.

POLY'S PUTTING THE SQUEEZE ON

In this old (2005) article in England's Guardian Newspaper, an antiquated holdout to Neo-Marxist propaganda, it should not surprise us to read of how 'evil' the Christian story is. The writer is of course criticising the Narnia story recently realised in a new movie.

Marxists in every country unfortunate enough to have embraced their life ending ideology, have made it their life's work to stamp out the God they say doesn't exist:

Of all the elements of Christianity, the most repugnant is the notion of the Christ who took our sins upon himself and sacrificed his body in agony to save our souls. Did we ask him to? Poor child Edmund, to blame for everything, must bear the full weight of a guilt only Christians know how to inflict, with a twisted knife to the heart. Every one of those thorns, the nuns used to tell my mother, is hammered into Jesus's holy head every day that you don't eat your greens or say your prayers when you are told. So the resurrected Aslan gives Edmund a long, life-changing talking-to high up on the rocks out of our earshot. When the poor boy comes back down with the sacred lion's breath upon him he is transformed unrecognisably into a Stepford brother, well and truly purged.
Tolkien hated Narnia: the two dons may have shared the same love of unquestioning feudal power, with worlds of obedient plebs and inferior folk eager to bend at the knee to any passing superior white persons - even children; both their fantasy worlds and their Christianity assumes that rigid hierarchy of power - lord of lords, king of kings, prince of peace to be worshipped and adored. But Tolkien disliked Lewis's bully-pulpit.

Over the years, others have had uneasy doubts about the Narnian brand of Christianity. Christ should surely be no lion (let alone with the orotund voice of Liam Neeson). He was the lamb, representing the meek of the earth, weak, poor and refusing to fight. Philip Pullman - he of the marvellously secular trilogy His Dark Materials - has called Narnia "one of the most ugly, poisonous things I have ever read".
Why? Because here in Narnia is the perfect Republican, muscular Christianity for America - that warped, distorted neo-fascist strain that thinks might is proof of right. I once heard the famous preacher Norman Vincent Peale in New York expound a sermon that reassured his wealthy congregation that they were made rich by God because they deserved it. The godly will reap earthly reward because God is on the side of the strong. This appears to be CS Lewis's view, too. In the battle at the end of the film, visually a great epic treat, the child crusaders are crowned kings and queens for no particular reason. Intellectually, the poor do not inherit Lewis's earth. [Poly Toynbee]

The perspective reflected here perfectly captures Paul's admonishion to the new believers in 1 Corinthians 1:18>30.
