As is so often the case these days, we sign up to contracts and agreements which require us to provide credit card details or authority to direct debit our bank accounts. Every few years, the credit card details need updating.
And so it was, that this particular morning that my Mum, Redhead, valiantly attempted to renew her card details by phoning her internet provider and prepared herself for the normal " your call is important to us " stuff and, with luck and a fair wind, get through to someone before the card came up for expiry again a few years down the track.
And that is when it got interesting.
Oh no! Another scary-sounding disease called “monkeypox” is supposedly spreading, which means the powers that be are getting ready to unleash another round of plandemic tyranny that is sure to include yet another magical new “vaccine” delivered at warp speed.
The World Health Organization (WHO), which we know is actively engaged in bioweapons research, launched an emergency meeting in the United Kingdom to discuss the alleged threat of monkeypox. The United Nations arm claims that “cases” of the disease are expected to “double” from nine to 18, requiring intervention.
Melbourne’s bayside beaches are not renowned as the resting place of shipwrecks but there are two; one well known and the other almost unknown.
The well known one is the former HMVS Cerberus bought for the Royal Victorian Navy in 1871. She was a semi-submersible iron clad monitor acquired to defend the colony against a Russian invasion which never happened. A more comprehensive story about this ship appears in my post of 2nd April, 2021 titled IN DEFENCE OF VICTORIA.
I have gout .
It came on last night as the Australian election results came in.
I always thought it was alcohol or cheese or tomatoes. But, for me it is stress. I am now crippled with a big toe inflamed and my toe is full of fear.

Life, these days, has become very stressful, hasn't it?
Friend is pitted against friend and a friend becomes a foe over something like the vaccine or political views. As we recover our composure after a change of government, I cannot help but reflect on tougher times and how people rose to greatness in a time of defeat.

Yesterday's election result has changed Australia forever.
The real pandemic we are facing is the pandemic of misery, hopelessness and helplessness that is about the confront Australia.. . no dams, no coal fired power. power shortages and electric cars. Immigration will skyrocket and we will see our housing crisis multiply and our already failing public health system collapse under the strain.
If we look at what has happened in America in only 18 months, we are in for economic migrants flowing in; rising prices, shortages and a general disintegration of the country we once proudly called home.
A Labor victory is only half of the problem. It is the rise of the Green and Climate 200 mob that horrifies me.

As election day dawns, I feel a deep sense of foreboding. All I can think of was what happened to Sir Joh Bjelke Petersen all those years ago.
I remember his loss back in 1987. I was at home and the news of his defeat came through on the radio, I cried. I could not help but think that the Queensland I loved would never be the same. And it was a fear that has been sadly well-founded.

+When I was young, I was invincible.
I could run across a beach and kick a football and stairs. Who cares! Just pop up them and look like Rocky in the scene that made him famous.
Nowadays, I can barely walk up or downstairs without doing it very, very carefully. Such is life.
Over the weekend, the New York Times carried a story headlined “How Australia Saved Thousands of Lives While Covid Killed a Million Americans,” written by Damien Cave. Cave claimed that Australia’s comparatively low COVID death count is down, in the main, to “a lifesaving trait that Australians displayed from the top of government to the hospital floor, and that Americans have shown they lack: trust, in science and institutions, but especially in one another.”
As a dual American-Australian citizen and resident of Sydney throughout the COVID policy fiasco, and equally as one of Australia’s most outspoken anti-lockdown economists since March 2020, seeing this coverage made my stomach turn.
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.
