Yes, even in Australia ‘The woke-left is emboldened. Conservative voices are deplatformed, western culture is cancelled, statues are toppled and history is rewritten. Conservatism is under attack. But what can you do?CPAC was launched in 2019 to provide a platform for conservatives to gather and discuss ideas without harassment over wrong-think. It’s for all of us who believe that true freedom is built upon free speech, free markets and a free society. But we know that others don’t share these values. Last year CPAC was attacked by the Labor Party through Senator’s Kristina Keneally, Penny Wong and opposition leader Anthony Albanese. Antifa and Socialist Alliance also sent their goons to demonstrate at CPAC, to yell abuse and to threaten violence. Then the bureaucrats came. They colluded with Labor to threaten the organiser with jail for failing to comply with demands that were impossible to meet. We know what the left want to do and they are doing it.’https://www.cpacaustralia.org/
Liberty
Marxist, Muslim, Leftist, Liberal, Lovie ‘…former President Barack Obama delivered the eulogy at late Congressman John Lewis’s (D-GA) funeral Thursday. Via the politicized address, the liberal media received their marching orders from their beloved leader: accuse President Trump of threatening the November the election and compare him to racist Alabama Governor George Wallace (D). And they celebrated him for it.
After noting that Obama’s presidency stood on the shoulders of Lewis’s work in the Civil Rights movement, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt hyped how Obama “while not naming him, launching a forceful attack against President Trump.”
“George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators,” Obama sneered during the nationally televised service.
Of course, the liberal media would push Obama’s drivel, it matched their narrative. He was claiming that the Portland riots and Antifa terrorism were just “peaceful demonstrators.”
Over on the CBS Evening News, anchor Norah O’Donnell fawned for Obama’s “rousing eulogy,” “saying those in power are trying to discourage voting.” And boasted that it was “a direct response to President Trump, who floated the idea today of delaying November’s election, something he doesn’t even have the power to do.”
CBS correspondent Michelle Miller (and wife to far-left National Urban League president Marc Morial) followed up for O’Donnell by playing a prolonged soundbite of Obama suggesting Trump was Wallace and all cops were Bull Connor.’https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2020/07/30/nets-celebrate-politicization-lewis-funeral-forceful-attack
Oh, the answer to the title of this blog; the difference between Obama, Antifa and BLM, is NOTHING!
Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. How far off is this prophecy? Well, ‘If some Congress members get their way, the Federal Reserve may soon be able to track many of your purchases in real time and share that information with government agencies. This is just one of the problems with the proposed “digital dollar” or “fedcoin.”
Fedcoin was initially included in the first coronavirus spending bill. While the proposal was dropped from the final version of the bill, there is still great interest in fedcoin on Capitol Hill. Some progressives have embraced fedcoin as a way to provide Americans with a “universal basic income.”
Both the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee held hearings on fedcoin in June. This is the first step toward making fedcoin a reality.
Fedcoin would not be an actual coin. Instead, it would be a special account created and maintained for each American by the Federal Reserve. Each month, Fed employees could tap a few keys on a computer and — bingo — each American would have dollars added to his Federal Reserve account. This is the 21st century equivalent of throwing money from helicopters.
Fedcoin could effect private cryptocurrencies. Also, it would limit the ability of private citizens to protect themselves from the Federal Reserve-caused decline in the dollar’s value.
Fedcoin would not magically increase the number of available goods and services. What it would do is drive up prices. The damage this would do to middle- and lower-income Americans would dwarf any benefit they receive from their monthly “gift” from the Fed. The rise in prices could lead to Congress regularly increasing fedcoin payments to Americans. These increases would cause prices to keep rising even more until we face hyperinflation and a dollar crisis. Of course, we are already on the path to an economic crisis thanks to the Fed. Fedcoin will hasten and worsen the crisis.
Fedcoin poses a great threat to privacy. The Federal Reserve could know when fedcoin is used, who is using it, and what they use it for. This information could be shared with government agencies, such as the FBI or IRS.
The government could use the ability to know how Americans are spending fedcoin to limit our ability to purchase goods and services disfavored by politicians and bureaucrats. Anyone who doubts this should recall the Obama administration’s Operation Choke Point. Operation Choke Point involved financial regulators “alerting” banks that dealing with certain businesses, such as gun stores, would put the banks at “reputational risk” and could subject them to greater regulation.
Is it so hard to believe that the ability to track purchases would be used in the future to “discourage” individuals from buying guns, fatty foods, or tobacco, or from being customers of corporations whose CEOs are not considered “woke” by the thought police? Fedcoin could also be used to “encourage” individuals to patronize “green” business, thus fulfilling Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s goal of involving the Fed in the fight against climate change.
Fedcoin could threaten private cryptocurrencies, increase inflation, and give government new powers over our financial transactions. Fedcoin will also speed up destruction of the fiat money system. Whatever gain fedcoin may bring to average Americans will come at terrible cost to liberty and prosperity.’ http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2020/july/27/fedcoin-a-new-scheme-for-tyranny-and-poverty/
This video caused a petition to be made to the Parliament of the Australian state of Queensland. People will believe almost anything but the Words of God.
‘TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House certain religious organisations operating in Queensland have a prime belief that a supreme being created the Earth about 6000 years ago. This is an anathema to many sciences and in particular to Aboriginal culture which is 60,000 to 120,000 years old. The creationist religions effectively deny Aboriginal history and culture thereby breaching our racist vilification laws.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to ensure that religious organisations preaching that a supreme being created the Earth about 6000 years ago not receive any State government assistance, exemptions, subsidies or funding.’ https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/petition-details?id=3380
When is a man a woman and when is a woman a woman? Well, ‘When Australians agreed to change the definition of marriage they probably didn’t think a change to the definition of woman would follow.
But rainbow politics is relentless.
If you don’t read The Australian or watch Sky News, you might have missed this.
Like coronavirus, rainbow gender fluid theory has jumped from our “Safe Schools” to the once respected Australian Academy of Science which inhabits Canberra’s iconic Shine Dome.
The academy has decreed that a woman is “anyone who identifies as a woman”.
I kid you not.
If you thought a woman had a vagina, breasts and XX chromosomes, think again.
Someone with a penis, normally referred to as a man, whose “personal gender identity does not correspond with sex assigned at birth” can be a woman our scientists now tell us.
Apparently, we’ve been wrongly “assigning” babies their gender just because they were born with certain biological physical features.
Confused?
It gets worse. This new definition of woman appears as part of the noble push to get more women into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It is contained in the glossary on page 58 of the academy’s Women in STEM Decadal Plan.
It goes without saying that in today’s PC rainbow fascist world you are a bigot if you disagree.
For the record, the glossary was silent on the definition of man.
It’s almost like the Women in STEM Decadal Plan is tailor-made for mediocre male scientists who might be looking for a career leg up by changing their gender identity.
Heck, they wouldn’t even have to have surgery or take oestrogen.
Like women and girls striving to compete with biological men under transgender guidelines released by Sports Minister Rickard Colbeck last year, women scientists seeking to get ahead in STEM now may also have to make way for biological males.
As Bernard Lane, who broke the story pointed out, the academy’s president John Shine is using the current Covid-19 crisis to campaign for accurate science against “made-up stuff”.
Seriously?
Evolutionary biologist Madeleine Beekman, a professor at the University of Sydney, said the academy had departed from biological fact.
“I find it very surprising that it comes from the academy of science, which should be based on science and not on some social, political agenda — so, I’m shocked, actually,” she told The Australian.
As Lane also pointed out, the Women in STEM Decadal Plan is paid for by the taxpayer. That’s you and me, folks.
Why the gender whisperers are running amok in our schools, sporting clubs and in our scientific institutions on the watch of a Liberals and Nationals government is mystifying.
If courage does not exist to take on this foolish and harmful ideology now, when will it?
LNP parliamentarians like Senator Amanda Stoker from Queensland are trying, but it is a measure of the power of the rainbow political lobby that so little progress is being made seven years since the Coalition was elected.
Gender dysphoria is real but so is anorexia. Both afflictions involve people thinking something about themselves that is not real.
The last thing women need is for politicians and now scientists to buy into a world that is not real. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL‘ https://www.lyleshelton.com.au/a_woman_can_have_a_penis_says_australian_academy_of_science
Australian Drag Queens seemingly have rights that those who do not believe children should be exposed to drag queens do not have. Lyle Shelton says that he is ‘…being dragged before a government commission for writing a blog about why drag queens are not for kids.
I hoped this day would not come. But it has.
Last month I received a letter from the government. The Queensland Human Rights Commission is demanding I appear before it for conciliation with a couple of aggrieved drag queens.
A blog post I wrote last January about the dangers of putting LGBTIQA+ drag queens in front of children has triggered action against me under the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act of 1991.
Under the law, it is compulsory that I turn up. If I don’t, I could be forced to by court order. If I still refuse, I could go to jail.
If I do turn up and refuse to apologise for my article or retract it or redact some of it, I could end up in front of the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
If I lose there, I could be fined. If I refuse to pay a fine in protest against a judgement which impinges on the precious human right of freedom of speech, I could be sent to jail and have a criminal record.
But before I had even been served papers from the Commission, one of the drag queens, Johnny Valkerie, took to Twitter to announce that the QHRC had already decreed me guilty and that I must turn myself in.
I kid you not. (Sounds like a good title for a book, the first chapter of the sequel of which is being written now).
Valkerie was frustrated because my address is supressed and the QHRC was not able to find me easily.
I have a supressed address for safety reasons after my office was bombed by a same-sex marriage activist in 2016. Following that incident, a prominent rainbow political activist, Michael Barnett, placed my home address on the internet to intimidate me and my family.
Johnny Valkerie is a woman who presents as a man. She tweeted that the QHRC had already “deemed” my “article to be vilification under the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Law 1991”.’ https://www.lyleshelton.com.au/drag_queens_take_legal_action_against_me_in_the_human_rights_commission
In other words in Australia if you believe something contrary to a protected class you had better just keep it to yourself!
The BLM, Antifa and others like them are simply pawns in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These pawns are NOT really seeking to right any supposed wrongs but to take over and destroy all free societies. The CCP is the enemy of all those who love Freedom of speech and life itself. Therefore, these social justice warriors are not interested in Auntie May who ‘…arrived at Sydney International Airport in 2012, her life was packed neatly into a single suitcase. With clothes borrowed from a cousin and a poor grasp of English, she crossed the threshold and began a new life in Australia.
Deep down, May knew her journey “Down Under” was not for a quiet retirement. Instead, she was preparing for a new lease on life, and a chance to help Chinese people understand the true nature of the Communist Party she suffered under for 60 years.
Born Yuelan Tao in 1956, May’s life began just seven years after China fell under the tyrannical rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Her father was a small business owner and the family lived in Beijing.
In 1966, her family was swept up in the regime’s Cultural Revolution—a destructive ten-year-long political movement aimed at purging China of its 5,000-year cultural roots.
May tells The Epoch Times: “The purpose of the cultural revolution was to establish communism as the only religion controlling not just the state, but the individual’s mind.”’ The entire article may be read at https://www.theepochtimes.com/surprised-im-still-alive-60-years-under-communist-china-2_3438340.html
If those who believe ALL LIVES MATTER wished to protest on the streets of Sydney, Australia do you think the New South Wales (NSW) Health Minister would plead for them not to do it due to the China virus? NO, I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t be any pleading but simply telling them they would be arrested! But, this is a protest in the name of Black Lives Matter! Now to the article with some highlights from this blogger. ‘More than 1000 reckless Black Lives Matter protesters planning to demonstrate in Sydney next week are being urged to pause their “democratic right” to assemble until Australia solves the COVID-19 crisis. NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard pleaded with protesters not to attend the demonstration. “If we didn’t need to remember just how dangerous this could be from messages from overseas, we only need to look to our southern border,” he said. “Please don’t do that, please.’
The Health Minister will plead and beg for these people not to protest but just a month or so ago a man was arrested for ‘exercising’ his rights’. You may follow his experience with this double minded government at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj4yS7miQRsavBQaHLk6WgA/videos.
Now back to the groveling NSW Health Minister. “Let’s just get this COVID-19 under control, right across our country, and then it’s the time for us to express our democratic rights.” NSW on Thursday announced 19 new cases of the virus and in Victoria’s update there were 403 new cases and five deaths. Protest organisers have asked people who choose to attend the rally to come prepared with a mask, hand sanitiser, practice social distancing and avoid public transport. But when protest organiser Padraic Gibson was asked about who would take responsibility if a breach occurred at the protest, he said: “When you come to a protest demonstration there is an element of risk involved in that, but for many, many people this is a very important issue and we’re going to be doing everything we can to provide the safest environment possible”. NSW Police is trying desperately to block the protest through the Supreme Court. This week NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller told Sky News the protest planned for 28 July could set the state’s economic recovery back by a decade if it sparked fresh outbreaks.’ https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6174226171001?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter&utm_content=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter+CID_ebdf2af235700247c9ce2c8afe723dee&utm_source=Daily%20newsletter&utm_term=NSW%20pleads%20with%20BLM%20protesters%20Pause%20your%20democratic%20rights%20until%20COVID%20ends
I personally hope the protest goes forth as it will show how weak and double standard the NSW government truly is. This supposedly conservative government is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
When Cain murdered his brother he began a series of events that continue to today. Antifa, BLM and all the other Marxist, Muslim, Loony, Leftist, Lovies are all in the same camp, the Cain camp. Now, there are many other groups and individuals not mentioned in the former list that follow the Cain way and they all have the one thing in common, hatred toward the Creator.
Cain’s hatred toward the Creator was taken out on his brother. Why? Well, think about it; Cain couldn’t murder God! Now, he might say God is dead or think real hard in his mind that God didn’t exist BUT Cain knew better. Cain wasn’t an atheist or agnostic! He knew there was a God and he was mad at Him. So, he fumed and allowed his hatred to ferment to the point he rose up in the field and murdered his own brother. 1John 3:12 …Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
The Cain way is playing out right before our very eyes today. God’s Word says in Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Yet, due to their thinking they are wiser than God and they come up with the theory of evolution thinking that does away with God.
Then there is the belief that we humans can control the weather and climate by taxing other people and NOT using the resources that are given to us such as coal and those ‘invisible things’ (nuclear) that God created. Here in Australia they continue to oppose nuclear so they are wasting billions on solar and wind. These climate scammers do not know the Cain way led to a world wide flood and after that flood God said While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease Genesis 8:22. Yes, God controls the weather and the climate!
These folk need the Lord Jesus but they stop their ears to the Gospel (Acts 7:57). These followers of Cain, have gone in the way of Cain, and continue his legacy and in the end will stand before the Judge of all the earth Who will do right (Genesis 18:25).
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I spent the first 31 of my 75 years of life in the USA. When I first moved overseas news travelled very slowly but now with the Internet I am able to keep abreast of most of what is occurring there and am shocked how the Marxist, Muslim, Leftist, Looney, Lovies seem to be taking control of government from local to Federal.
Perhaps, you have been wondering as I have how did it get to where Antifa and BLM are able to destroy, dismantle, and demolish so much in so little time that has taken others years to build?
Now, it’s not like there are not supposedly conservative groups and think tanks out there allegedly doing something to fight for and preserve the freedoms once enjoyed. Well, Ann (without an e) Corcoran at https://fraudscrookscriminals.com/ got me on to this article and website.
‘For conservatives it seems every day brings with it another betrayal from the professional Right. The hollow people leading the Republican Party and Conservatism, Inc., have been exposed. Some of us have known for years they wouldn’t be up to the task when a true challenge came, but it is still staggering to watch the meltdown happen in real-time.
So maybe it’s finally time for those on the Right to stop doing the same things they’ve been doing for nearly half a century, and instead form a new movement—a New Right that is actually equipped to defeat the Left.
As the think tanks are shown to be ineffective in the face of the aggressive Left, more people are beginning to realize that perhaps the money given to places like Heritage, American Enterprise Institute, and Cato was squandered. And it was a lot of money. The three organizations combined raised roughly $2.45 billion between 2001-2018, and that does not include the hundreds of millions in investments and real estate.
Rational people should acknowledge this reality and stop pretending it’s not happening. People invested billions of dollars in these entities, only to realize they never intended to be anything but sinecures.
Even worse, so-called conservative think tanks have little if anything in common with America First and have been corrupted by corporatism and imagined access to power.
It’s time to abandon the concept of institution building, as though we will ever have the ability to match the Left institution for institution. It’s time for a scrappy New Right to be built with an insurgency approach: we must accept that we are not in power, that we do not control the institutions, and that it’s time to go on the offensive. Our thinking, our strategy, and our investments must reflect that belief.
Let’s Build Fleet of PT Boats
For too long we have accepted the rules of the game laid out by the statists and the Left. It’s past time to stop playing by Goliath’s rules; time to start playing by David’s.
The article, “How David Beats Goliath,” by Malcolm Gladwell offers us some insights about how such an approach would work. Note especially the part about the Eurisko approach to war gaming. Doug Lenat, a computer scientist, fed the rules of the naval war game into Eurisko, his software program. Instead of building a fleet of battleships and aircraft carriers with the trillion-dollar budget each participant was given, Eurisko built an incredible number of PT boats with powerful weapons, but no defense and limited mobility. Guess who won the war game? The PT boat fleet annihilated every other fleet of battleships, cruisers, and aircraft carriers. Lenat won the tournament multiple times until the organizers finally said they would stop having the competition if he continued playing by his rules.
What if we were to do the same? Instead of having Heritage, imagine there were in fact 30 entities built to fight and win; the same goes for AEI and Cato. This is not to say that there is no need for intellectual ammunition, quite the opposite. But why have so much invested into white papers when those are really about governing and only a fool thinks that conservatives are in a position right now to govern. Besides, most of the white papers being produced are essentially fire starter material.
Better to have plans like, “The Four Year Plan for Dismantling the Administrative State” laying out a roadmap, department by department, agency by agency, to reduce the administrative state by 40 percent in four years. With a few full-time policy experts and researchers, and then an army of conservative intellectuals and policy experts from around the country, kept either on retainers or paid for work completed, the cost of having real, meaningful, and beneficial intellectual ammunition would be infinitesimally small compared to what it currently takes to power Heritage and AEI.
The New Right must have its own version of PT boat outfits, small organizations with two or three investigative and opposition researchers who systematically take out targets on the Left: political figures, heads of left-wing organizations, propagandists in the media, heads of public sector unions, and corrupt local government officials. Heck, they could even go after “woke” corporate folks. Trust me, I bet you could find all sorts of stuff on the heads of TV channels, media outfits, and the CEOs of corporations—really awkward stuff that might make them shut the hell up.
And since the Left seems to like pushing around fake dossiers, how about we create our own real dossiers, full of facts, very awkward facts? That would be lit.
The rate of success for the PT boats would be dependent on “body count”; how many on the Left are driven out of the public square, out of office, or quite frankly, put in jail for their very cavalier approach to say the rule of law, the laws governing non-profits, and things like voter fraud.
Some people might think this is mean. To which I say: grow up. There is a war for the republic’s existence and some people are like, “Ew, this approach would make me feel so icky.” You know what will make you feel super icky? When your indoctrinated kids inform on you and get you sent to a re-education camp. So suck it up, buttercup.
Cultivate the Skills to Win
As we see more Republican senators working overtime to negotiate surrender terms with the domestic terrorists on the Left, maybe—and this is just a thought here—we should spend more time recruiting and training the right people to run for office at all levels; from local and state to federal.
I know that’s a novel concept. But shouldn’t we invest in real champions of conservatism instead of taking whatever scraps are offered from the table by the Republican Party? That’s what American Majority has been working on for years now: training and equipping a farm team of conservative leaders who have the skills to win.
I’m a big believer that politics, ultimately, is about ideas and policy. But you have to win politically before you can implement any ideas or policy. What if we could identify and train people like that to run for office in every state? What if we could train people everywhere to be effective activists who win?
There also needs to be “lawfare.” Incessant lawfare like what the American Center Law and Justice and Alliance for Defending Freedom are doing, but multiply it by a hundred at the state and local level. Honestly, there should be FOIA requests directed at every municipality; think Judicial Crisis Network times 10,000.
Reexamine Everything
There should be a real funding mechanism for this, almost like a hedge fund. Not like the absurd dumbass Koch seminars that are really just a way to advance the Koch’s corporate interests, but instead a collection of committed donors who will commit $200 million every year to be distributed to effective groups.
The New Right must be built around a set of ideals: life, family, strong military, Americanism, economic self-sufficiency; we’re not going to sacrifice American jobs anymore or willingly place ourselves in bad trade deals. We want national security, not interventionism or nation-building.
Time to reexamine everything, including not looking at the Republican Party as a place to send money or something you bank on to represent you. Instead it should be seen as nothing more than a legal vehicle by which we achieve our political ends. The party is what people say it is, so use the GOP as the vehicle for Americanism.
All of this to say that the American Republic is at stake. Conservatism, Inc. has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. To continue investing in it despite its dismal record is the very definition of insanity. Without a radical change in strategy and tactics, including funding, it will also virtually guarantee the destruction of the Republic.’ https://amgreatness.com/2020/07/16/a-new-right-grounded-in-insurgency-thinking/
