The opening lecture that I deliver every time I teach a Principles of Microeconomics course, which I do each semester, is on what the economic historian and liberal philosopher Deirdre McCloskey calls “the Great Enrichment.” I impress upon my students (most of whom are in their late teens) that they and everyone they know are off-the-charts materially wealthier than were the vast majority of all humans who ever lived. I explain that millennia after millennia, our human ancestors breathed, toiled, and perished in poverty so grinding that we today can barely imagine it.

I would venture to say that the two most famous and well known phrases of our Australian military history are “Gallipoli” and “The Rats of Tobruk”. One was a magnificent defeat. The other was a magnificent triumph.

Field Marshall Sir William Slim, 13^th Governor General of Australia and at the time, General commanding the 14^th Army said after the triumph over the Japanese at Milne Bay that “…..Some of us may forget that, of all the Allies, it was the Australians who first broke the invincibility of the Japanese army and it was the Australians who first broke the invincibility of the German army.”

In speaking of the defeat of the German Army he was speaking about Tobruk.

The War of Economic Corridors has entered incandescent, uncharted territory: Pipeline Terror.

A sophisticated military operation – that required exhaustive planning, possibly involving several actors – blew up four separate sections of the Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) gas pipelines in the shallow waters of the Danish straits, in the Baltic Sea, near the island of Bornholm.

Renowned virologist and biomedical research scientist Dr. Judy Mikovits told the equally controversial InfoWars founder and host Alex Jones that the real agenda behind the engineered Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is to take full control of the human race following the depopulation efforts.

“The plan of globalists is to control us, put us in a place of subservience and to try to make us think our God is not all we need,” Mikovits told Jones in her recent appearance on the show. “The end game was to control your brain and movement to create human 2.0. The end game is to be God.”

I have a young friend who has just been committed to a psych unit - as I call it, a looney bin.

He is very very nervous. He speaks with himself and has illusions of grandeur. He is on a cocktail of drugs, all prescribed by his " HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL ". 

It has become too difficult to cope with for the family and he has been sent to a place that no one likes to go. His civil liberties have been removed and he is now subject to " assessment "

People of a certain age will remember only too well Pastor Martin Niemöller’s poignant lament that as the Nazis hunted down groups one by one, those outside the target groups kept their head down and voice quiet in order to stay out of trouble. 

“Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.”
