Quarks of Fate - Comprehending Our Existence

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Flysa

Gazing at an eclipse of the moon many moons ago, I was minded of the magnitude of Creation and my forthcoming interview with the Big Guy upstairs, at which I will have a lot of explaining to do. The following passed through my mind.

According to legend, St Augustine was walking along the beach pondering how in the Blessed Trinity there could be three persons in the one God, when he saw a small boy pouring buckets of seawater into a hole the young boy had dug in the sand. On asking the boy what he was doing, the boy told Augustine that he was pouring all of the ocean into the hole. On telling the boy that which he was trying to achieve was impossible, Augustine was told by the boy that he would pour all of the ocean into the hole before Augustine understood the mystery of the Trinity – then disappeared.

Burke & Wills -The Road Less Travelled

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Monty

It is a tragedy that Australia forgets to celebrate those who travelled this vast land and gave us the gift that we enjoy today: a life that many used to envy and is being destroyed by ill educated bureaucrats and politicians. 

Teachers who no longer teach. Parents who no longer parent. News channels who do not report what is new but simply churn out regurgitated media lies instead of truth.

The legendary Beaver Club of Montreal Canada

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Chaucer
Once upon a time After more than half a century of service, the Beaver Club in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel is no more. 
It was a muted death for a restaurant once considered the crème de la crème of formal haute gastronomy in Montreal. A restaurant that fed the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, Fidel Castro, Charles de Gaulle, Princess Grace, Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and John Lennon - as well as ordinary Montrealers and out-of-towners of course.
Recognized as a Montréal culinary institution since 1958 and the oldest gastronomic club in Canada, The Beaver Club was a favorite of epicureans. Through the years, it earned prestigious distinctions such as the CAA Four Diamonds, the Dirona Award, the 4-Star Debeur Award and the Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence.

The Napier Earthquake 3rd February 1931 - Out of the Rubble...

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Bruce Rugby

The Napier earthquake of 1931, also known as the Hawke's Bay earthquake, was a devastating seismic event that occurred on February 3, 1931, in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8 and remains one of the most powerful earthquakes in New Zealand's recorded history.

The earthquake struck at 10:47 am and lasted for about two and a half minutes. It caused widespread destruction, particularly in the cities of Napier and Hastings. The impact was intensified by the fact that the earthquake occurred during a busy time of day when people were at work and children were in school. foreword  by Monty

The Sparrow Force Heroes

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Happy Expat

Sparrow Force was one of three formations rapidly put together by the Australian Government in March and April of 1941 when concern was rising about the intentions of the Japanese to enter WW2 as a combatant and to form a ring of defenses against any advance on Australia. The three forces were given code names of birds: Gull, Lark and Sparrow. Gull and Sparrow were formed at the request of the Dutch government.

Gull Force was sent to Ambon and was soon overcome. The survivors were then mainly executed.

Lark Force went to Rabaul on the north tip of the island of New Britain. It too was soon overwhelmed by a far superior Japanese force and the vast majority were captured with a majority of those executed or used for bayonet practice by Japanese troops and beheading practice for junior Japanese officers. The massacres at Tol Plantation have been mentioned in other articles.

The Power of Words

Details
Written by: The PR Blog

I love words and the precision that they have.

They are like snipers. If used in the right hands, our bullets called words can hit their target very accurately. 

That is why the Left want to destroy our language.

There is no precision anymore.

When our words are attacked, we have a problem that is much graver than people realise.

Big Green Men and Little Green Men

Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

We lived through the Covid years. the lockdowns, the bushfires, the floods, the elections, the lies, deceit and the Ukraine " situation ", Voice, the " Free  Palestine " and " I hate Australia " campaign. 

Now, every week or so we hear about the Alien Invasions.

The Climate Change years where a demented 16 year old wept and grimaced and said how dare you and the years when ordinary citizens were locked up, knocked down and shut up, all while being told that it was all for " our own good. "

It has been a crazy couple of years, hasn't it?

Laha Airfield Executions - 30th January - 3rd February 1942

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Monty

In early 1942, the Japanese launched their invasion of the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia) as part of their southward expansion in the Pacific.

Ambon, a strategically important island, was defended by a small garrison of Dutch troops and about 1,100 Australian soldiers from the 2/21st Battalion, known as Gull Force.

They were poorly equipped and significantly outnumbered by the Japanese forces.

On the night of 30/31 January 1942 Japanese forces landed on Ambon. The Japanese were resisted by Australian troops at a number of locations, including Mount Nona, Kudamati, Amahusu and Laha. 

Laha airfield was defended by about 300 Australian troops.  Aside from a small number who escaped, there were no survivors.  After the surrender at Laha, Japanese personnel carried out mass executions of the Australian soldiers.  A group of RAAF men were also executed at Laha.  Roger Maynard has written of the executions “History would record it as one of the worst massacres of the Second World War”.

The 54th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, has just concluded. The Large Hadron Collider Hellgate has closed for the year.

Chaucer's Culinary Campaign - Chapter One - Roast Pork

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Chaucer

Roasting the poor pig is many centuries old, and thus the ways of cooking it are just as many if counted in decades. 

The word "pork" has its origins in the Old French language. In Middle English, the term "porc" referred to the meat of a pig, while "pig" or "swine" denoted the live animal. 

The transition from "porc" to "pork" likely occurred during the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th century.

Stop Wasting Water

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Viv Forbes

Almost every river in Eastern Australia is now pouring surplus water into the sea. But only two dams have been built in Queensland in the last 20 years - the Wyaralong Dam built 13 years ago and Paradise Dam built 19 years ago.

Droughts will come again and we will wish for another dam-builder like Joh Bjelke Petersen whose government built at least eight dams in Queensland - the Burdekin, Wivenhoe, Hinze, Beardmore, Haig, Fairbairn, Bjelke-Petersen and Eungella dams. But that all came to a halt in 1988 when the plans to build the Wolffdene Dam were scuttled by all the usual suspects.
