China
George Christensen is an Australian Federal Politician from Queensland. He along with Craig Kelly are unique among those in Federal Parliament.
| ‘The greatest challenge approaching Australia and the West is that of dealing with Communist China’s growing ambition to become the dominant geopolitical force in the world. We could probably live with China being significantly economically superior (as we do with the USA) and we could even live with them brutalising their own citizens (as they do with Christians, Tibetan Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners, Uighur Muslims and Hong Kong pro-democracy activists), albeit with ongoing expressions of concern. What we can’t live with is an authoritarian regime seeking to control us and our neighbours through economic and political means. If you don’t understand what I mean by that, then you need to read Professor Clive Hamilton’s book Silent Invasion: China’s Influence in Australia. Prof Hamilton has provided a submission to the parliamentary inquiry I’m chairing that is looking into Australia’s trade and investment relations with China, in which he says: |
| The PRC is the world’s leading practitioner of “economic statecraft” — the use of economic power to coerce other nations to adopt political positions agreeable to Beijing. Beijing’s strategy of “killing the chickens to scare the monkeys” describes highly publicised attacks on individual countries or businesses to deter others. Onlookers are liable to say to themselves: “Thank goodness it’s not us. What must we do to make sure we aren’t next?” |
| That’s an apt description of how China is misusing its power and it’s a key part of the reason why recent changes and statements have been made by the Morrison Liberal National Government, which you will read about in this newsletter. If you want to have your say on these matters (and in my inquiry) you can still go to www.ChinaInquiry.com.au and fill in a survey form as well as write to my parliamentary committee that is conducting the inquiry. |
| The war on Western civilisation |
| Something has to be said about the black-armband brigade who took to our streets in the past few weeks, protesting about an event that occurred in the USA. As tragic as that event was, we don’t have the same poor race relations that appear to dog America, despite the claims of far left protesters who were on the streets in most capital cities of this country, gathering in masses despite public health warnings to the contrary. I lambasted them in federal parliament earlier this month on that front. Public health warnings aside, the people marching in the streets seem to have a vitriolic hatred for the very society, culture and heritage that has allowed them the freedom to march and the freedom to speak out against authority. The calls to take down statues of founding fathers and significant figures in our nation’s history (and the history of the West) and then to scrub out ‘offending’ cultural gems such as Gone with the Wind and an episode of Fawlty Towers led me to believe that these protesters are nothing more than a cultural Marxist version of the Taliban. Indeed, Christian commentator Bill Muehlenberg states: “This is a war on history and on Western civilisation. And what we have is a New Taliban that is fully behind it all.” You can read his full commentary here.’https://www.georgechristensen.com.au/campaigns/view-campaign/EPR0N-ADwX6RSzL8jEFj1inTsaXALEl5ypCYGixQOnLZG_V-TZDacl9BrBnq1IEFohh9wacTLLPR1lFQjr_2auXw95hpZ-3C |
Why does the Left hate President Trump so much? Is the Left afraid of losing control because the light of truth has been allowed to shine just a smidgen on their wickedness and desire to control every human being? Here’s Don Jr. speaking on censorship.
Here in Australia ‘Now that it’s high summer, you might see a lizard, sunning itself on a rock. Lizards don’t just get their energy from food, but also from the sun. Humans are warm-blooded creatures who generally get their energy from food, not solar-power. However, there are some cold-blooded creatures amongst us.
In the New South Wales parliament, the summer started with Environment Minister Matt Keane who, with little public warning and possibility of public debate, passing legislation for net zero emissions in NSW. This committed public funds—our money—to benefit green spiv renewable funds.
Bankers, lobbyists and Liberal moderate politicians have realised that the public will not only accept this, but actually thank them for it. Thank them for making power expensive and making them richer.
In a recent public statement, Keane was been positively evangelical about the need for the Liberal party to support renewable energy. But there were some very strange things that went along with this. He did not seem across some basic facts about renewables.
Does Keane realise that worldwide over 2,000 HELE coal powerplants are operated at present, or are in the development pipeline worldwide, and mostly in our geographic region? Or to translate, does he realise that Indo-Pacific nations, such as India and China, are investing in this cheap power generation, much of which is fuelled by Australian coal, to electrify a manufacturing powerhouse boom? Whilst at the very same time making any of our ‘clean’ energy commitments meaningless? Oddly, he seems not to have considered this in calculations.
Why is Minister Keane in public critical of energy entrepreneur Trevor St Baker as someone benefiting from these changes? St Baker bought one of NSW’s coal-fired power-stations for a mere $1 million now valued at over $700m – but because the state Liberal government was selling it. This is actually a story about the impropriety of actions of those in state government, in charge of our energy policy. It appears the NSW Liberal government classified the Vales Point power station as ‘worn out’ so it could be replaced, when it was worth alot more than that. Why would they do this? About $700m of public money thrown away. It appears they want to make us pay for a hugely more expensive and inefficient solar energy plants and their power — while ordinary electors have no choice but to pay for it.
Here we reach the intersection of incompetence and impropriety.
Many members of the political and media class of New South Wales are also aware of speculation surrounding factional ideological and personal alliances, astroturfing, and a revolving door between parliaments and plush corporate suites of high paid, high powered consultancy and lobbying roles. Mark Latham has alleged on Twitter a NSW Liberal MP told him that Kean’s net zero legislation “is really about setting up the finances of the Moderate Faction, on a permanent basis”. These cold-blooded animals are indeed solar-powered.
The most serpentine are the green spiv renewables funds. They are profiting by moving us to expensive, unreliable power. Here is their simple 3-step formula.
- Replace-plants. Our coal plants are being torn down so that we have to build new power plants. The more money it costs us to build them, the more the GSRFs get as their cut (as their fees are a proportion of the funds they arranged). For the GRSFs, the more expensive these plants, the better.
- Push-up prices. These expensive solar-power plants also make more expensive and unreliable electricity, and Aussies have no choice but to pay. For the GRSFs the margin gets juicer, on this higher amounts as electricity becomes more expensive.
- Privatise -plants. Next, governments tend to sell the asset to private investors. Investment banks love energy investments because it is very low risk. It is not hard to know that people will buy electricity. Often, these deals are protected even further from risk by government-guarantees. So the funds they arrange to buy these investments are comparatively cheap and then they get access to those juicy margins these new ritzy and expensive plants they have funded us to build.
Replace plants. Push-up prices. Privatise production. That’s the GSRF formula.
For us, it means extraordinarily expensive—and unreliable—electricity. For them, the merchant bankers and their allies, it means easy and growing money whilst doing very little. They are simply taking from us. It’s not unlike the energy a lizard gets from sitting on a rock.
It is cold-blooded. They are being predatory to our polity.
There are clear alternatives to solar-power. HELE Coal-fire is very popular elsewhere and makes a lot of sense with all the coal we export. Highly-efficient nuclear power, is also an obvious option. But these are too efficient and cheap to benefit these serpentine predators.
Now, there’s another feature of serpents. As we are told in the Bible, they tend to twist words–they make bad seem good, and good seem bad. This move to change our electricity production is moving our politics into dangerous territory, where a woke-elite alliance obscures poor policy. The financial-elite profit, while the woke-brigade power their political arguments into the mainstream. The woke-brigade even shaming and standing-over normal people who question it and the financial-elite who profit from it. While the financial-elite are profiteering from us, we are supposed to say ‘thank you’. The woke-elite alliance is doing bad and calling it good.
Expect to see plenty even more ritzy Range Rovers cruising around Sydney with ‘Stop Adani’ bumper-stickers.’https://www.spectator.com.au/2021/01/todays-cold-blooded-political-animals-are-solar-powered/
The following is unbelievable, or is it? While the world knows all about what occurred January 6th in DC I would doubt that many will ever know about what recently happened in San Diego! Where’s the media?
‘ANTIFA thugs in San Diego, Cal. held a rally this weekend in which left-wing activists celebrated Washington D.C. police for executing patriotic protester Ashli Babbitt during last week’s Capitol demonstration.
Terrorists could be seen menacing middle-aged ladies and other peaceful Trump supporters as they menaced a beach. One of their signs said that Babbitt deserved to be killed.’https://thepatriotwatchdog.com/shock-antifa-terrorists-celebrate-patriot-ashli-babbitts-execution/

The days before January 20th should be interesting in more ways than one. At ‘Cumulus Media, the talk radio conglomerate that hosts many conservative shows, says that their clientele will be fired unless they obey new politically correct edicts regarding their programming.
Specifically, hosts Mark Levin, Dan Bongino and Ben Shapiro will likely be fired if they suggest that the vote was stolen from President Donald Trump, despite the mountains of evidence indicating that this in fact was the case.
Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino’s employer, Cumulus Media, has told its on-air personalities to stop suggesting that the election was stolen from President Trump — or face termination “immediately”https://t.co/aMzP3nO7PV
— Emma Kinery (@EmmaKinery) January 11, 2021
“We need to help induce national calm NOW,” a Cumulus Media executive wrote last week following the Capitol rally.
Brian Philips, executive vice president for Cumulus, made the official announcement that Draconian censorship would be instituted in the response to the display.
He issued an edict saying that Cumulus and Westwood One “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths’.”
“If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately,” he added.’https://thepatriotwatchdog.com/breaking-dan-bongino-and-ben-shapiro-will-be-fired-over-trump/
Most conservatives and especially conservative Bible believing Christians would not condone the violence that has been happening around the USA by Antifa and BLM in 2020 or that which occurred in Washington DC January 6th. The simple fact is that the violence and destruction during 2020 was undoubtedly perpetrated by BLM and Antifa but exactly who was involved in the January 6th violence is still not yet truly determined. However, that last fact doesn’t bother those at Wheaton College.
‘More than 255 former and current Wheaton College faculty and staff have signed a statement condemning last week’s attack on the Capitol and specifically decrying “blasphemous abuses of Christian symbols.” The statement also denounces what it calls “wicked leadership—especially by President Trump,” but also by some evangelical leaders.
‘“The behaviors that many participants celebrated in Jesus’ name bear absolutely no resemblance to the Christian teachings or ethics that we submit to as faculty and staff of Wheaton College,” the statement said.
The statement also chastised evangelical leaders who “could have spoken truth to the disillusioned supporters of President Trump,” but instead “wittingly propagated lies, or were unduly silent in a just cause.”
After the election, evangelical leaders like Eric Metaxas, Franklin Graham, and a host of others supported the idea that voter fraud was to blame for Trump’s loss. This aligns with Trump’s narrative, who on the evening of the riot, tweeted: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long.”
Though many evangelicals have condemned the riots, the Wheaton faculty statement is one of the first, if not the first, official statement to confront evangelical leaders.
The statement also alleged that “systemic racism” was to blame for “differential treatment” given those who trespassed on the Capitol as opposed to those who protested police brutality over the summer.
“These realities are reprehensible,” it stated. “Our Christian faith demands shining a light on these evils and the simultaneous commitment to take appropriate action.”
The faculty statement released Monday differs somewhat from an official statement by Wheaton College the same day.
The official Wheaton College statement decried the “violent attack on democracy,” but did not name Trump or other evangelicals. However, similar to the faculty and staff statement, the college statement lamented “the way perpetrators used the name of Jesus to promote violence, display racist symbols, and attack our nation’s leaders.”’https://julieroys.com/wheaton-faculty-decry-christian-symbols-wicked-leadership-riot/?mc_cid=d5a45ef763&mc_eid=b13d34ad49
If you are a conservative how safe is your future?
‘President Donald Trump is having his personal bank accounts closed in addition to being banned from every major social media platform and payment processor.
From The New York Times (Archive):
Deutsche Bank, which has been Mr. Trump’s primary lender for two decades, has decided not to do business with Mr. Trump or his company in the future, according to a person familiar with the bank’s thinking. Mr. Trump currently owes Deutsche Bank more than $300 million, which is due in the next few years.
The bank has concluded that, short of forgiving the debt, it has no way to extricate itself from the Trump relationship before the loans come due.
Another longtime financial partner of the Trumps, Signature Bank, also is cutting ties. The bank — which helped Mr. Trump finance his Florida golf course and where Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter, was once a board member — issued a statement calling on Mr. Trump to resign as president “in the best interests of our nation and the American people.”
Susan Turkell, a spokeswoman for the bank, said Signature had decided that it “will not do business in the future with any members of Congress who voted to disregard the Electoral College.” Ms. Turkell said that in the wake of the riots the bank began closing Mr. Trump’s two personal accounts, which had about $5.3 million.
The GOP and Trump himself had three years to address these deplatforming efforts and did nothing about it.
In fact, he instead expanded censorship by signing an executive order to make Jews on college campuses a “protected class” and punish critics of Israel.
Last week, Trump signed an executive order banning the use of Chinese payment apps, which American dissidents banned from PayPal and Stripe (as Trump’s campaign has now been) may have found more hospitable.
In November 2020, the Trump administration finally got around to proposing a rule that would ensure banking access is determined only by creditworthiness and not political views.
“If the Trump administration finalizes the rule before President-elect Joe Biden takes office, [John Court, the head of regulatory affairs at the Bank Policy Institute, which represents the biggest banks in the country] says that would make it harder, but not impossible, for the new administration to undo it,” NPR reported Monday. “And he says if it comes to it, banks would likely sue to try to stop the rule.”
“The rule could also be scrapped by Congress through an oversight tool called the Congressional Review Act, especially since Democrats will now control both the House and the Senate.”‘https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=61998
Please take the time to read this entire article by Pastor Brandenburg. Parler is gone so be sure articles like this will not be allowed once the Marxist/Leftist folk get complete control!
‘The founders declared, “No taxation without representation,” as a clarion theme leading to revolution. No representation meant no vote and no voice, which lead to violent circumstances. Two systems of justice existed, one on English soil and another in the American colonies, so mobs terrified the stamp tax agents, leading to its repeal, then triggered the Boston Massacre and the Tea Party. English elites called these criminal sedition and insurrection. American leaders voiced calm, yet in the end joined in a war for independence. Are there modern echoes in the present United States?
Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 proclaimed, “Give me liberty or give me death!” I think everyone could agree that the death part of his famous statement meant the anticipation of some type of violence. A little later, the Texans at the Alamo believed that death was preferable to living under tyrannical government, albeit Mexican. “Remember the Alamo” then fueled a Texan war for independence.
President Trump is called a populous president. His support is populous. He was and is a man for the time. Could it have been someone else with a more pristine character resume? It doesn’t seem so. I’m open to an alternative, but I haven’t seen that person in my lifetime.
The never-Trumpers of the Lincoln project, who despise Trump supporters and would relish violence against them, say that his voters were so stupid that they thought he’d be a good leader because they watched him on The Apprentice television show. I’ve never seen more useful idiots than the Lincoln ones.
Many factors led to Trump, but the quintessential motivation was an oppressive political correctness that incessantly violates rights of Americans. This is even seen in the reaction to the events of January 6 in the capitol. Political speech is not sedition and insurrection. Using the term, “fight,” as a euphemism is not a call to violence, just like saying “political target” doesn’t mean you’re going to shoot someone.
Political correctness is a kind of correctness in China, where the government says, this is correct, you disagree, saying, it’s not, and then you disappear for the rest of your life. Political correctness is a pressure to take a position at a cost for not taking it. If you know what’s good for your health, your professional career, and your mere future, this is the view you’ll need to take. Carolyn Glick writes in Israel Hayom that Democrats wish a new era of total political correctness.
President Trump says what many people are thinking in the United States. When I say many, I mean about fifty million or more. He has not “incited violence.” When Trump supporters came to Washington, DC on January 6, 2021, no elected official encouraged them to come to force their way into the capitol building and physically stop the electoral counting procedure in Congress, a violation of the law (read this account and this take). In President Trump’s speech, he didn’t suggest that. The people saying that know they are lying. They are liars.
Democrats riot, protest, terrorize, picket, intimidate, and break the law without ceasing. They not only get no condemnation but instead receive actual support from a vast majority of the media, celebrities, and educators. They use government power to prosecute their political enemies and to crush their businesses and take away their property. Even if they do not win in court, they waste the time and ruin the personal finances of their victims. They tear apart our society. They are never censored. As an example, they use their power to allow men to use the girl’s bathrooms. Opposition is litigated. They are given the widest possible bandwidth to spew the greatest possible amount of vile and deceitful discourse.
Those of the capitol mob were finished with conventional Republican or conservative way of change. They decided to imitate their political opposition and give them a taste of their own medicine. It was so odd and out of character that theories arose among conservatives that it must be someone else, that Antifa or BLM infiltrated the group, posing as them for purposes of discrediting. Can you imagine someone asking, “Can you believe the Democrat party instigated violence and supported burning, pillaging, and looting of public property through their various collaborators, Antifa and BLM?” Laughter ensues. A serial murdering abortion doctor slaughters babies born alive and Democrat lawyers line up to defend him.
President Trump gave a political speech on January 6 (read the transcript here), protected by the first amendment without any mention of violence. None. It’s true he doesn’t attempt to calm down his listeners, tranquilize them. He wants to fire them up, to inspire them. That’s what political speakers do, except for Joe Biden and a few others, but not because they don’t wish they could energize someone. No Republican has encouraged violence in any way. Everyone knows that. The people hearing Trump know that.
The crowd that rushed the capitol was enough of a surprise that the capitol police wasn’t ready for it. It is clear that a smaller faction of the gigantic crowd came to Washington DC prepared to do more than attend a rally. As a template, they had Seattle, Portland, Kenosha, earlier in Washington DC, and urban areas all over the country as an immense sample size compared to their own efforts. Those leftist mobsters took over several city blocks in Seattle and occupied them, fully armed, for weeks and those like them all over the country have incessantly toppled statues and threatened ordinary American citizens during meals and peaceful walks in public places.
What occurred at the capitol is called by the media and Democrats, an insurrection. It was an insurrection like the LA police following OJ Simpson was a “car chase.” No one shot anyone except the police an unarmed Trump supporter, military veteran, and you know the story, she was threatening no one.
I wouldn’t join them, but I get the anger inspiring the capitol hill chaos. I understand frustration of the participants. I’m quite sure that my belief in the future kingdom of Jesus Christ anesthetizes a desire for physical retribution. A true believer opts for a peaceful solution now, starting with the gospel. The party of senseless violence though is the left. They kill millions and urge to kill millions more babies. They are silent while thousands are murdered in America’s cities. They oppose all freedom of speech except for their own demented and reprobate positions.
One can judge true thoughts and standards by the consistency of the condemnation. Unless all violence is condemned, the standard of violence still stands. The left embraces violence. It wants to disarm its opposition. It uses the accusation of not-a-coup to cover its own actual coup. The so-called antifascists are the actual fascists. Who is attempting to take away rights and freedoms? The left, represented by the Democrat party, finances and supports its own violence. It condemns all violence against it. It punches you in the face, puts its glasses on, and says, “You wouldn’t hit a man wearing glasses, would you?”
The mob on capitol hill saw their votes as cancelled. I agree with them. The invention of Democrat ballot harvesting tipped the swing states. They see election laws violated without recourse and even the Supreme Court cowed from dutiful examination. There is no Republican voice allowed in the public school and state college system, the mainstream media, and the tech titans censor it on their government protected platforms. The loss of vote and voice equal violent circumstances. The people taking away freedom through their various means of state and corporate power fueled the capitol mob on January 6, not the president.’https://kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com/2021/01/the-capitol-hill-chaos-votes-canceled.html
The world is in a mess but that shouldn’t be a surprise to a born again Christian. What the Left are doing is really showing their hate for the God of the Bible, the Creator. John the Apostle wrote in 1John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. The Left also hate anyone, Christian or not, that loves and cherishes free speech and truth. The Left hates those who say there are ONLY TWO GENDERS and not seventy or more. The Left hates those who say a person cannot decide from day to day what gender they are! That’s why they hate Savanah Hernandez.
‘Savanah Hernandez has been making her own way in the news media world since 2016 and despite censorship, harassment and even a Twitter ban, the Texas resident has carved out an integral spot in the industry with her work.
Hernandez initially began working with Infowars.com as a producer and eventually a reporter, going undercover to expose bias at events such as the Women’s March.
Throughout her young career, Hernandez has been attacked both while doing journalism, as well as performing activism for acts as simple as holding a sign.
Hernandez has since joined Elijah Schaffer on BlazeTV as the producer of his show ‘Slightly Offensive,’ a political podcast that also involves on-the-ground reporting.
Hernandez (who ironically goes by ‘Sav Says’) joins Andrew Says to explain how Big Tech censorship has affected her career. Along with detailing how she plans to help small businesses during lockdowns, Hernandez gives her best case scenario for the Biden presidency.’https://www.rebelnews.com/hate_speech_is_free_speech_savanah_hernandez_on_andrew_says?utm_campaign=ac_savannah_1_11_21&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel
