Throughout history, assassins would use poison to try and rid themselves of their target. The person in power was vulnerable to attack and one of the easiest ways of ridding their adversary ( their political opponent ) was to poison them. These days, I worry about who our current leaders' opponents really are.
As one poster said, "The Voice is just part of a global plot to make everyone subservient to unelected global overlords."
And so it was with the Covid Scare. So it is with virtually everything these days. When coercion is used to force people to do something that they would rather not, we have become nothing more than official food testers for our rulers to safeguard themselves while exposing us to danger.
It seems to me that our leaders are just as much under the thumb as we are - and it is this " man in the shadows " who we should be very worried about.
So let's meander down through history and look at the way it worked and is still working.

I note the curious historical juxtaposition that ten days before the US Supreme Court struck down race-based affirmative action policies in university admissions, Australia’s Parliament approved holding a referendum to re-racialize the Constitution.
It will do so by inserting a new chapter to give Aborigines rights of representations that are not available to any other group.

“NATO has lost this war. Biden has lost this war. The lunatic Democrats have lost this war. The uni-party warmongers have lost this war. The EU has lost this war. Ukraine and Zelensky have lost this war.” — Kim Dotcom
Somebody in the “Joe Biden” White House apparently thinks that the operations already underway are not enough to destroy our country fast enough, so a little extra push, such as nuclear annihilation, might get’er done.
By operations underway I mean things like mRNA vaccines stealthily deleting kin, friends, and public figures from the scene… decriminalizing crime… undermining the oil industry by a thousand cuts… liquidating small business… making little children insane over sex… flooding the land with illegal immigrants… devaluing the currency… queering elections — all of these things done on purpose, by the way. And if you complain about any of it, here comes the FBI or the IRS knocking on your door.

A few weeks ago, a young boy was visiting Redhead’s house and he asked to use the “ dunny. “
It struck me as amusing as I would have used the word “ toilet “ or “ bathroom “ or
restroom “ or perhaps even “ go somewhere. “
Our toilet habits are something we all share, but we DON’T Share. At least, not in today’s modern times.

Governments don’t like gold because they can’t print it is a truism worth canonizing in the Book of Proverbs.
From the center of the continental United States to the middle of Australia is 9,241 miles. It’s a little further from London to Sydney—about 10,572 miles. But in economic matters—the laws of economics being both immutable and universal—the distances between the world’s cities and countries are far smaller.
I was recently reminded of this fact while researching the economic history of the Land Down Under. Curious to find out if Australia’s move away from a gold standard bore any similarities to events in the US and the UK, I discovered that the parallels are striking.

As one gets older, it is sad to reflect on the many much-loved pets who have gone before.
My mother used to say their faces would flash before her in a passing parade. It is now the same for me as I advance in age.
As I write this, my laptop display image is that of my ginger Burmese cat Bo, long since departed.

How many of us look at our currency? There was a time when a woman was on the Australian $5 note. In the annals of history, there are remarkable individuals whose tireless efforts leave an indelible mark on society. Caroline Chisholm was one such visionary who dedicated her life to championing the underdog.
She is off the currency now, and has been replaced by an image of parliament in Canberra. So let us look at who has done more for helping the Aussie Battler: Caroline Chisholm or Parliament?

In writing this article I am indebted to an elderly friend who was cleaning out his family home in preparation for a move to a retirement village. He gave me a book published in 1944 written by an ex-Qantas employee named E.Bennett-Bremner. He wrote it as a dedication to Qantas staff who served in perilous areas in the dark days of 1941 and 1942 and who received little or no recognition because they were all civilians.
In recent years Qantas has fallen from grace in the public perception for a variety of reasons but I think it is true to say that top management no longer enjoys the support of the public or its staff that made it the icon that it once was although shareholders should be eternally grateful. On reading this book one is again filled with pride at the loyalty, dedication to duty and the service to Australia by the staff of our national airline

“We have a unique but rapidly shrinking window of opportunity to learn lessons and reset ourselves on a more sustainable path… We have a golden opportunity to seize something good from this crisis. Its unprecedented shockwaves may well make people more receptive to big visions of change.” - King Charles III (then Prince Charles), June 2020- Details

Charles Stuart was born in London, UK, on May 29, 1630 and was the eldest surviving child of Charles I and his French spouse Henrietta Marie. Following the execution of Charles I by order of the British Parliament in 1649, Charles was proclaimed King Charles II. However, the British Isles were governed by the Rump Parliament, of which Oliver Cromwell was a member.
Charles sought to reclaim the kingdom but was defeated by Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. Charles escaped to Europe and spent the following nine years in France, Holland, and Spain. In 1653, Cromwell dismissed the Rump Parliament and assumed control of the kingdom, which had previously been renamed as the English Commonwealth, as Lord Protector for life.
