SONIC SWITCHEROO

The lame-stream-press have been rabbiting on for the last year about Trumps 'Russian collusion' and how the Russians 'influenced' the election even though not one iota of hard evidence has ever been produced to confirm these stories.
How do we know that there is no evidence?
Because can you imagine the media uproar if there had been?
It would have been spread about on every front page of every main stream publication from America to Timbuktu.

What evidence has emerged however is that there is indeed collusion between some major American players and the Russians. Collusion that involves the transfer of some 100's of millions of dollars being 'donated' from Russia to a highly suspicious American charity 'foundation' (which spends some 94% of its intake on 'administration', just 6% going to suspicious charitable causes). What changed hands?
Nothing less than 20% of Americas nuclear fissionable material Uranium, sold to their greatest Cold-War enemy. It is nothing less than treason in many respects. And who are the Americans at the very heart of these actions.....to whom am I referring?

THE CLINTON'S!


The evidence is there, hard evidence in the form of manuscripts, telephone calls even video documentation and to top it all off  human intel, an eye-witness who is willing to testify and who is being held in protective custody (good luck to him).

And what has been the response of the media?

Can you hear the Crickets!

They have changed so swiftly from shouts of "Impeach Trump!, Impeach Trump!" to their default position of " move along, nothing to see here", so quickly that they left a sonic boom in their wake....and then - crickets.

TIME TO CULL THE FALSE SHEEP

I tend to agree with what Kurt Schlichter is saying here....in fact I tend to agree with most things Kurt says because he is one of those in-your-face, family loving, patriots who don't like bullies in any form no matter who or what they call themselves:

I don’t care what the SJWs[Social 'Justice' Warriors] say, think, or do. When they demand that I conform to their dictates, I’ve got a counter-offer.
How about I do exactly what I want and you stand there and suck it up?
See, these idiots have no power if we just laugh at them and say “No.” That’s all it takes to stop all this stupidity cold. What are they going to do? Force us to conform? Unlikely – most of them couldn’t even do a push-up, especially the ones that identify as male. No, they seek to impose a Dictatorship of the Scoldatariat, clinging to power not through bayonets but by constant braying and badgering.
It’s so simple to resist them – we just have to start giggling and saying, “Yeah, no, I’m not going to do that. Take your literally shaking self on a long walk off a short pier.”

The problem as I see it is that these f@#$-wits have captured the high ground, that is they are now in control of many (perhaps most) of the 'educational' facilities in the land and they are preparing a generation of propagandised, gender neutral, ignoramuses that follow bad cultural policies like lemmings heading off a cliff.

Although they don't possess the physical 'chops' to force their stupid ideas on you and me they are succeeding in using lawfare as a way of forcing conformity from the great unwashed; that is we 'normals'. Witness the 'Human Rights' laws being passed in the UK, in Austrlia in Canada in New Zealand etc...these are all force multipliers intended to manipulate conformity into a pre-determined cultural mould....and this mould is not conservative, it is subversive, debased, elitist, economy wrecking and slavery producing socialism in disguise. Cultural Marxism is the phrase being bandied about these days but this strategy is not new and although the 'long march through the institutions' has been attributed to Gramsci, the push for socialist ideals has been going on long before his time as in the Fabians approach; i.e. a sheep in wolfs clothing:

 And what do Fabulists Fabianists believe:

The political belief that socialism can be introduced by gradual reform rather than by revolution.

And Socialism has worked so well in so many countries during the 20th Century.[sarc]..just ask any ex-pat Zimbabwean or the current crop of Venezuelans.

Their agenda has been well served over the past three to four decades which is why there has been such a reactionary rage about Brexit and Trump. The normal's have woken up and are beginning to take back their futures.

Whether it is too late only time will tell, but it sure is true that we live in interesting times.

OUR EDUCATIONAL TROY!

Having spent the majority of my adult life in and around the educational sphere and teaching in 'good' South Australian schools up until about 7 years ago I was shocked by how educational standards had deteriorated. I was also pretty bemused by the attitudes displayed by many 'educators' who have themselves been indoctrinated to see their role as that of 'social conscience warriors' who must change this corrupt and 'privileged' society rather than equipping students in the classics of education in order to become contributors to society.

It was an important reason for our choosing to home-school our youngest son. Another factor is reflected in the very first question that the majority of people ask when they discover that we home-school, i.e. "don't you worry about his socialisation?"

The answer to that one is quite simple. No! We don't worry about his social skills for the simple reason that being home-schooled has afforded him an ability to interact with people from many different strata and ages. He has a great group of friends his own age but also interact with adults quite comfortably and has learned to be self-disciplined, a self starter and how to lead. We also engage in meaningful discussions and debates during the school period because I am learning almost as much as he is.

One of the problems I identified at school and one that we have experienced with our two older children who went the whole way through the 'system' was that this so-called 'socialisation' of children moving through the grades as a single cohort actually often does (in my opinion) more harm than good. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule and some schools are much better than others at ameliorating the harm done, but it is a given that within such groups that one finds bullying of the 'different' and significant peer pressure to conform with the 'ruling paradigm' which; if the strongest personality(s) of the cohort are good ones then the class will generally achieve well, but if the ruling personality's are negative then the whole group becomes similarly infected. What teacher hasn't been amazed at how whole classes seem to have a commonality of purpose whether good or bad.

Another emerging problem I currently observe and that almost overshadows these everyday problems associated with mass education is how the Cultural Marxists (usually identified as the 'hard-Left') have emerged from their heretofore concealed attacks on the West, and having infiltrated the educational faculties (amongst other primary institutions) for many years as part of their long-term strategy a.k.a. "the long march through the institutions', are beginning to articulate their aims quite openly.

For years, the Edina Public Schools have been one of the brightest stars of Minnesota public education… But today, test scores are sinking. One in five Edina High School students can’t read at grade level and one in three can’t do grade-level math. These test results dropped EHS’s ranking among Minnesota high schools from 5th to 29th in reading proficiency, and from 10th to 40th in math proficiency between 2014 and 2017… There’s been a profound shift in district leaders’ educational philosophy. In place of academic excellence for all, the district’s primary mission is now to ensure that students think correctly on social and political issues — most importantly, on race and “white privilege.” […] The school is pervaded by an obsession with race. Katie Mahoney, Highlands Elementary School’s “racially conscious” principal, was hired in 2016. This fall, she announced that the school’s “challenges” for 2017-18 are to teach children “how to embrace ancestry, genetic code and melanin,” and to how “to be change-makers.”(Katherine Kersten)

and.......................

Two Canadian professors have developed an approach they call “Trojan horse pedagogy” to peddle social justice to otherwise unassuming students. Sal Renshaw and Renee Valiquette, both of whom teach at Nipissing University in Ontario, detailed their extensive “ruse” in a recently published book, boasting that their “Introduction to Interdisciplinary Analysis” class is actually a “social justice” course in disguise… “Our goal in this class is to move both hearts and minds, in part by ‘forcing’ an encounter with at least some knowledges that students have already decided they are not interested in,” Renshaw and Valiquette explain, adding that the classes are “rooted in… post-structural feminist theory.” ( Toni Airaksinen )

We are witnessing it in Australia under the banner of the 'Safe Schools Project' an Orwellian maxim if ever there was one.

AFFECTATIONS

HELPSLEE

A dingo crows in the afternoon

Monkey jumps barbed wire, the ear-gate swallows the sun.

Right side regurgitates lovely in exactitudes.

High pitched nonsense comforts the red red yellow crescent.

Raging free patterns of courage waiting for….

Presence gathers in the crispy corner of correctness.

The scattered seed feels connected, I feel glad.

Looking back strips shadows of dimension and Orpheus is dusted.

From shallows pour fifth destiny.

Head hums whispering words upon which fate falls and captains crumble.

See rock me a little while not alone in the sea of sadness.

Warm winter satisfies the drum beat of a sickle

Melancholy makes me glad.

Click clack, strum strom, plick pluck; the hurricane howls

And clam is a dram who masters calm.

Landscape glowers at the suffering heart on the line.

Dawn lies lays boys yobs spent beers and tears.

I’m so glad.

DANTE'S INFERNO: SECOND CIRCLE...

In my younger life BC,  I remember thinking that Hugh Hefner lived the ideal lifestyle; the life all red-blooded males aspired to. It was a few years later that I came to understand that this was a profoundly erroneous perspective on life and one that has done endless damage to many many people around the world.

His life was, if one reads between the lines, one of profound contempt for women and fraught with both substance and emotional abuse. In fact what appeared to be Utopian on the outside was nothing but nihilism at its source:

He tearfully noted in a 1992 New York Times interview: 'I’ve spent so much of my life looking for love in all the wrong places.'[Daily Mail, 29th September 2017]
http://nypost.com/2015/06/21/holly-madison-reveals-hell-with-hef-in-playboy-mansion/

Though the mass media now provide hagiographies verging on secular sainthood for Hefner and his influence on culture, the fruits of this influence which are everywhere visible and becoming increasingly oppressive illustrate that his philosophy was like all other idealistic philosophies; destructive: 

Utopianism, writes the philosopher Roger Scruton, is ‘not in the business of perfecting the world’ but only of demolishing it: ‘The ideal is constructed in order to destroy the actual.’ Who needs families, or marriage, or morality? Who needs nations, especially nations with borders? We’ll take a jackhammer to the foundations of functioning society and proclaim paradise in the ruins.

Hefner added to the chaos of the world and was at the sharp end of the cultural struggle that we are now engaged in:

He spent his life rebelling against what he considered the restrictions of his 'roots' but in doing so displayed the typical narcissist's blindness on actually knowing what it was he was rebelling against. He might as well have tied the millstone around his own neck. 

He is now in the presence of One who whilst the epitome of love is also to be greatly feared:

Luke 12:2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

I do not envy him, and yet I do not judge him for I too am a dreadful sinner with the only difference being that I have accepted the One who was sent on my behalf to stand in the gap. I can only hope that for his sake he too made a deathbed acceptance like the sinner on the cross besides Jesus.

Russell Moore has the last line on Hugh Hefner who is the reflection of our culture today and especially pertinent given the debate we are currently engaged in:

The “bunny” logo was well-chosen because, in the end, Mr. Hefner saw both men and women as essentially rabbits. This path was portrayed vividly by John Updike in his Rabbit Angstrom series. It is not a happy life.
And yet we are not actually rabbits. We can see our deaths coming, and we outlive those deaths to give an account of our lives. If you want to see “success,” look instead to the man faithful to the wife of his youth, caring for her through dementia.
In the short-run Hefner’s philosophy has won, on both the Right and the Left. The Playboy Mansion is every house now. Many church leaders implicitly or explicitly say, “This is fine.” In many cases, those who hold to what the church has always taught on sexual morality and the value of women are the dissidents now, regardless of how “conservative” a movement proclaims itself to be. Thou hast conquered, O grotto.
The long-run, though, is quite different. Jesus will reign.

THE AUSSIE 'CARRIE'

Because the left dominates the news media, the entertainment media and academia, ordinary Western civilians are swimming -- actually, drowning -- in an ocean of lies.

As an example I was watching (I can only stomach it for short periods) a clip of channel 10s 'the project' and marvelled at how adept these cultural Marxists (conscious or unconscious) are at the 'ole bait n switch' routine. 

The segment was about how expensive electricity in Australia has become and would you believe it, but they chose to ignore completely the actual reason for the prices and proceeded to lay the blame at the feet of the 'greedy capitalists' who are exploiting the system. Talk about attacking the messenger!

It is exactly what happened with the Global Financial crisis in America...government interference in the marketplace that transforms 'free' enterprise into crony capitalism. 

Sure we all know that there are greedy swines in business who care about nothing more than making a dollar, just as there are greedy swines in public broadcasting who make more dollars than those in the private arena and generally for less work I might add. In fact the more we back off from absolute morality the more such narcissistic greed and bad behaviour will emerge, but more on that obvious development at another time.

The point of this electricity debate is that the government are interfering in the marketplace by subsidising renewable's at such a rate as to make the cheaper coal and gas options unprofitable and that drives away investors. 

The 'projects' Wally Taqiya and his stable-mate the truly sinister Carrie Bickmore (ever seen what happens to her eyes and face when presented with an argument against her pet ideologies? Whew! its enough to melt your marsh-mellows), ......anyway there they were professing to analyse the exorbitant prices of electricity (South Australia with abundant mineral resources, has the most expensive electricity on the planet) in Australia and blaming the greedy Electricity Suppliers for the problem. 

Yes, the CEO of AGL is one crony capitalist who sees an opportunity to make dollars for himself and his shareholders(to which his bonus is tied) by abusing the marketplace. Take morality out of the marketplace and how can you blame him? Its rank hypocrisy to blame somebody for doing what you have a part in allowing in the first place isn't it. 

But attacking the obvious capitalists amongst us...the banks, the Energy companies, the mining companies etc; sets up an Us vs. Them scenario, a classic play straight from Alinsky's 12 Rules For Radicals playbook. It also deflects the real source of the problem from its socialist, anarchist roots...as I said in the beginig classic bait & switch.

THE COURAGE OF HOLLOW MEN

Musing on the word 'courage'. We hear endless chants of how courageous Hollywood 'artists' are to stand up to Trump, or to the 'fascist hordes' who populate the Tea Party (who incidentally clean up after themselves) unlike the so called pollution minded eco-warriors who leave behind major dumps of  pollution at their 'love-in/sit-in/occupy events:

This is a sterling example of the progressive thought process. Leonardo DiCaprio preaches about the cataclysmic dangers of climate change, then flies a private jet. Thousands of activists traveled to Standing Rock to protest about an oil pipeline they claimed would contaminate the Missouri River, then left a garbage wasteland behind, which, if not cleaned up in time, will contaminate Cannonball River and Lake Oahe.
Aside from the minute band of activists who are helping with the cleanup, where is everyone else? It doesn't matter. They proudly displayed their virtue, and so little details like cleaning up their own filth in the aftermath are irrelevant.
Above all else, progressives value being seen as virtuous. Whatever cause they promote or defend always comes second to everyone seeing them promote or defend said cause. 

http://www.dailywire.com/news/13219/lol-standing-rock-protesters-leave-behind-enough-frank-camp#

We hear endless caterwauling about how these courageous souls are speaking truth to power and how they seek to tear down the privilege of the patriarchy or  the bullying of the 'fascist right'......all very noble but in truth when we see anything at all it is usually the left attacking and bullying the 'normals' in society.

We only ever see Hollywood attacking one religion in its diatribes against religion as the cause of all evil in the world. Who do they target? Christianity of course, never ever would we see Hollywood
attacking the real crimes of Islam. Why? Well one doesn't have to venture far beyond the artists of Charlie Hebdo to answer that one, or perhaps early movie makers like Theo Van Gogh & Hirsi Ali where one is dead and the other lives in permanent hiding, or perhaps as a writer we should criticise Islam as Salmon Rushdie did.

What do Christians do when you make movies that mock their faith?
They pray for you......wow, now that is really terrible and what courage it takes to make movies that condemn such a foul worldview or make mockery of the founder of that faith by immersing the instrument of His torture in human waste.....such artistry, such passion, such courage to speak truth to power.....! Granted there are some these days who think hate is part of the Christian vocabulary and who appear to do it on the various media platforms, but these are expressions outside of the remittance of scripture and if followed up are often either fake news or the work of crazies.

Well the same could be said of those who shout Allahu Akbar before they detonate! Sure, but how many deaths are you aware of that have been caused by those calling themselves Christian and have subsequently been discovered to be faithful followers of Christ?

Whereas all of the followers of Islam can have their claims justified by the Koran, the author of their faith both admires and acknowledges that he was a killer and conqueror....you only have to do a modicum of research to see that this is the case.

And this is the real reason why the courageous minions of Hollywood are more than happy to mock Christianity whilst not only ignoring but promoting Islam. The irony of it all is that once the Western civilisation has collapsed and sharia law is felt and exercised more widely in the Western countries wherein it now resides and grows stealthily and surreptitiously with the help of the 4th estate, these self same luvvies are going to feel the heat whether they try to avoid it or not.
