The Massacre at Rajdi Beach - February 1942 - Lest We Forget

Details
Written by: The PR Blog

'So we marched into the sea and when we got out to about waist level they then machine gunned from behind."

The words of the sole survivor of the horrific massacre of  Radji Beach on Banka Island off the coast of Sumatra. 

On 16 February 1942, Japanese soldiers machine-gunned 22 Australian World War II Army nurses and killed 60 soldiers and crew members from 2 sunken ships. From the 22 Nurses shot on that day, there was only one sole survivor, Sister Vivian Bullwinkel.

If from this maelstrom I survive, By pen and prose and poetry

I'll keep your sacrifice alive, I spoke to you of legacy

For when this hellish time is through, all those who hauled or charged or carried

Will be regarded heroes too

Australia - about to be plucked? Or is it already plucked?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Monty

Is Australia ripe for the plucking?

Located down the bottom of the world, geographically isolated and with a small population, are we the perfect place for a takeover experiment?
A weak and spineless federal government; weak and leftist CCP supporting state governments and a population that is mainly contained in cities, are we sitting ducks on a pond and a perfect spot to conquer - without firing a single shot?

The World's Fastest Indian - brought to a standstill by red tape

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Ellan Vannin

Today marks the normal eve of the start of the 4 day Burt Munro Challenge in the deep south of New Zealand. Motorbike enthusiasts usually congregate to race and gather with fellow enthusiasts to honour the memory of The Worlds Fastest Indian. Also known as Burt Munro.

This year it has been cancelled. Covid strikes again. 

So while the event may have been cancelled, I think it is still worth celebrating the amazing man who dared to dream big and dream fast.

A Prince who fell from grace because of the sea? Or was it about politics?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

Prince Andrew has been stripped of his honours and shunned by his family. Only his ex wife stands by his side. Andrew, or as I still choose to call him, Prince Andrew, is a war hero in my book. 

The media, the public and seemingly everyone have abandoned this man because he did something that many men have probably been guilty of: he had dubious mates and had a few bedtime romps with young women.

As a woman, I actually defend him. And I believe that he is a target of a political campaign and the bureaucracy have thrown him under the bus.

Bragging rights and pillow fights: Surely, in a time of global crisis, there are more important things than who owns a cake?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

The British didn’t stand a chance when confronted with a United States of America - and the brave diggers at Gallipoli created a fighting Spirit that will endure forever. Throughout history, we mark special days of unity and courage. We mark things like Australia Day, Thanksgiving, Waitangi Day, ANZAC Day and Armistice Day.

Kiwis and Australians have stood side by side, brother with brother... until it comes down to a cake. Then it is a Tasman Sea pillow fight. Intrigued? Then read on.

I remember..... when the winter Olympics were about soaring like an eagle

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

Here we are on the doorstep of the 2022 Winter Olympics. Personally, I find them to be lacking in joy, expectation, or anticipation. For some reason I am more concerned about seeing someone keel over from a stroke or myocarditis than falling on the slopes from a bad ski jump.

Hosted in the country that gives " gifts that keep giving " like covid , I wonder if the games will be more opening a Pandora's Box or a very large and unpleasant can of worms.

Do you still trust your government? Trust is so freely given and so easily lost

Written by: The PR Blog

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. 2 years ago, I trusted " them. " Today? 

No. In fact, I keep asking myself:

What if the coronavirus had spread, but had never been diagnosed or detected? Would life have been any different if the global media and politicians hadn't told us to be scared?

Sometimes the only way to freedom is to climb a mountain - in the jungles of Papua New Guinea 1942

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Raymond F Peters

In 1942, my wife’s Uncle was a metallurgist in Papua New Guinea. At the height of WW2 , he was living in the jungles of one of the hotbeds of the conflict. Unable to serve in the War due to being deaf ( years of working in a goldmine in New Zealand) he served in his own way by doing his bit and carrying on.

I found a transcript of his recollections of the time in Papua New Guinea during the war and I wanted to share it with you. It is typed as he shared it all those years ago. His time in the War in the jungle of Papua New Guinea.

The Laha Airfield Executions - 30th January - 3rd February 1942
Near the Laha airstrip on Ambon Island, 309 Australian and Dutch soldiers were held captive. Around 18:00hrs, a group of Australian and Dutch POWs, their arms tied securely behind them, were marched to two large holes in the jungle site.
As the first POW was walked to the edge of the hole and forced to kneel, the reality and the horror of the situation began to set in with the other POWs.

We have had a gutful of your lying, your greed and your oppression. Leave us alone!

Written by: The PR Blog

30th January marks the anniversary of the execution of King Charles 1 who lost his head back in 1649. As one person observed " King Charles I was his own worst enemy. Self-righteous, arrogant, and unscrupulous; he had a penchant for making bad decisions."

Well, fast forward  nearly 400 years and it seems that our so called rulers have not learned a damned thing: they may not have lost their heads yet, but they have certainly lost their minds and most certainly have lost their way.
