Patriot Realm

My rescue dog came to me in a moment of intense loneliness and I had been wondering what the hell I was doing with my life.

It was suggested, here on this blog, that I get a dog. I had a few beers that particular night and had decided to go to the local animal shelter and find myself a little bloke to provide a distraction.

Bruce Ruxton is one of my heroes. I never met the man and these notes are drawn from personal recollection of some of his better known controversial escapades with a bit of research added in.

He was born too late to be able to become a hero in the traditional sense. He joined the Army in 1944 and was assigned to the Survey Corps of the Royal Australian Engineers, a natural progression from his civilian occupation. Towards the end of the war, he was transferred as a rifleman during the Borneo campaign.

"We have it in our power to begin the world over again." -- Thomas Paine, Common Sense. His words in the introduction to his pamphlet " Common Sense"  remain as true today as they were in 1776:

Last weekend, tens of thousands of Melburnians took to the streets to protest new laws that will create a divided and fractured Australia. They took to the streets to protest laws that will see dictatorship descend on Victoria. They protested against creating social credit scores that will see some Australians rewarded and some punished, depending upon how well said Melburnian behaves.

We are seeing this all around Australia, the world and it is celebrated by the smirking sheep who think that by conforming, they are going to be the teacher's pets and the rest of us? Well, we get what we deserve.
