HOMAGE DUE

A major issue with our contemporary culture as I see it, is that we have become 'soft-boiled'.

We have lived in comfort and relative peace in the West for so long that we now take it for granted that this is the 'normal' state of affairs.

If you are any student of history you will have observed that this is very far from the truth. The 'normal' state of human doings has always been that of strife, discord, treachery and upheaval.

Yes the West has been fighting almost continual wars over the last 100 hundred years, but America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand; i.e. our most important frames of reference outside the UK, have not had a conflict in their lands for more than a century. Even Englands conflict was confined chiefly to the European continent and in saying that I do not in any way depreciate the aerial warfare waged over British soil during the 2nd World War. Equally I do not exclude those parts of Europe who used to adhere to the Western 'culture' but who have slipped almost entirely away over the past few decades. In fact the European continent was the main stage of the last big war, WW2.

Which brings me to the debt of gratitude that we today owe our forefathers, who fought for the peace we now take for granted, or as George Orwell so eloquently put it: 

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Too many soft-boiled snowflakes in today's world pay no homage to those men and women, and in fact are contemptuous of them as 'warmongers', 'murderers' and the too often repeated journalistic mendacity 'terrorists'.  The fact that contemporary journalism conflates terrorism with those defending Western culture against 'actual' terrorism, is one of the greatest betrayals of press integrity in the 21st Millennium.

Another seed of our moral flaccidity is because the ideology of 'evolution' has penetrated to the very core of our being. Many actually believe that the 'peace' we enjoy is because the human race has 'evolved' past the slavish, warlike mode, thus we see the 'elite' castigating those 'rough men and women' who defend our shores.

Sadly the truth is that human nature is the same as it was in the garden, down through the centuries and remains the same today. History teaches us that those who ignore history are bound to repeat it; and I believe that our soft-boiled elites are going to suffer the same fate as their Eloi doppelgangers did in H G Well's Time Machine.

Thankfully I will not be around to see it because even if it were to occur in the next year or two, I for one will not surrender my soul for a little peace and prosperity on this, the dark side of eternity.

Cowards all....

It is both unnerving and dismaying that our elected public officials lack the courage or the will to make uncomfortable decisions. Few things illustrate this more than the willing surrender academics and politicians such as Di Natale, Shorten, Bishop and others make to Islam, when they blame jihadi terrorism on Western nations. To call such a response cowardly is but a part of its true nature. Its real name is 'dhimmitude' and it means submission and servanthood towards Islamic rule.

Never will I nor my family become slaves to this demonic structure.

This insistence that the latest Paris outrage is the result of the actions of the West has been repeated by Clive Hamilton, a Greens candidate for parliament and Professor of Public Ethics (sic) at Charles Sturt University. According to Hamilton, “our political leaders must carry much of the responsibility for the dangers Australians are now exposed to.” Islamic State made it clear it would carry out terrorist attacks against anyone who opposed its attempts to establish a global Caliphate and so, apparently, we must accept that we have none to blame but ourselves. As Hamilton puts it:

After all, IS identified France’s and Russia’s roles in the Syrian conflict as the reason for the Paris outrages and the downing of the Russian airliner departing Sharm el-Sheikh that killed 224 people.

And so Australia must expect to be punished by Islamic State for our resistance to its campaign for global domination, just as Russia and France have been punished.

The leader of the Greens, Richard Di Natale, echoed Hamilton’s call for capitulation in the fight against Islamic State, demanding an end to the Australian bombing campaign and an easing of anti-terrorism laws designed to control jihadists: “We can’t make Australia safer by making other countries more dangerous, but that’s exactly what the citizenship laws and our air strikes do.”

PRINCE OF PONCE

Miranda Devines response to ponce Charles:

"Talk about fiddling while Paris burns. This is what psychologists would call a serious case of denial by displacement.

It’s been inconvenient for climate alarmists that, just three weeks before the UN’s upcoming talkfest, the host city was the scene of an Islamic State terrorist attack. On that very day, Al Gore, of all people, had to abandon a climate alarm stand-up outside the Eiffel Tower.

These rarefied folk would really rather ignore the whole messy business of Islamism but it came up and shouted in their face in Paris. Bit hard to avoid mentioning it.

So, rather than admit the politically incorrect truth that Islamic State is driven by a certain extreme religious ideology bent on creating a worldwide caliphate, leftists scour their barren craniums for any other explanation — and inevitably they have come up with climate change.

This issue has become the leftist’s ultimate wet dream. Understood only by an easily manipulated scientific priestly class, it is the latest vehicle to dismantle capitalism and halt progress. It requires a massive supranational bureaucracy and seamlessly provides a new elite with the tools of social domination. Control the means of energy production, control the world. That’s the dream, anyway.

Linking climate change to Islamic State perfectly suits those who live in a theoretical utopia in which you can feel good and fool yourself into thinking you are solving the most intractable threat of our time — genocidal Islamism — by telling other people to pay more for their electricity.

Trust Prince Charles to fall for it."

WINNIE THE NAILER

Leave it to one of the world's great statesmen to nail the problem of Islam:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome." [Winston Churchill]

LOOK AT ME, MY COMPASSION OVERWHELMS ME!

The politics of seeming rather than doing:

" Equally embarrassing are the frivolities of tragedy, which include the pointless colouring of our Opera House and other landmarks red, white and blue, peace signs made out of the Eiffel Tower, platitudes of ‘solidarity’, twitter hashtags, Je Suis Charlie’s, weeping pop stars, mountains of rotting flowers, candle-lit vigils and all the other post-Diana trashy modern rituals of mass grieving. (Note: no such outpourings for dead Israelis). The endless, tiresome, empty symbols of our ‘compassion’ stand in stark, terrifying contrast to our inability to actually do anything concrete to obliterate the menace of extremist Islam." [ Rowan Dean

REWIND

Merv Bendle makes a point that is not only deeply worrying, but demonstrably true and my singular fear for my children, is that with such 'chamberlainistic' chi at the helm, we are doomed to chaos:

"Our leaders have failed us. Paris confirms it. Make no mistake, at the end of the day their loyalties lie not with the people who elected them, nor with the societies that they govern or the civilisation of the West that has dragged the world out of poverty and barbarism and onto the path of progress. What loyalty they possess is only to their own careers and ambitions and to the special-interest groups they serve."

BEHIND THE LABOR/GREEN MASK

The (Labor & 'others' including an increasing cohort of 'liberals') 'tribalism' of the voting bloc which votes Labor irrespective of how damaging the incumbents might be to the country or to the economy or to any of the disastrous policies we have witnessed over the years of Labor government is little other than soviet collectivism in a mild disguise, which in academic terms is also called 'cultural Marxism' and as a worldview it has successfully brainwashed a large segment of Western culture. 

It involves the insertion of certain ideas into the culture, the removal of restraints, and a breakdown of personal morality and economic independence as taught by the Judeo-Christian worldview, towards a culture where people turn instinctively to the State or the governing bodies for support on all things including morality.

If you are dismissive of this you are probably one of the useful idiots Lenin was so scathing about but who are also entirely necessary to change society into the image of cultural marxism's poster child; Antonio Gramsci whose stated aim is:...."to cut the roots (of Christianity), to change the culture, a long march through the institutions is necessary, only then will power fall into our laps like a ripened fruit" [Gramsci's Prison Diaries].  

We are currently in freefall.
