Patriot Realm

I recently was told by some neighbours that they had decided to move to a Retirement village  nearby,  but some kilometers from the  beach where we enjoy a couple of minutes walk and we are on the golden sand.    

Early in the pandemic I advised readers to zone out, take a break, and read fiction and other works of art that have stood the test of time. There’s only so much crazy we can deal with and there’s only so much mental benefits to be had from intensively monitoring a pile of political trash.

Over a long enough time frame, the madness of 2020 will fade. However awful the damage is now and however many people’s lives are ruined by asinine government policies, the world will recover. Poverty will resume its downward stroll; Capitalism will provide.

Or will it? 

Ardern called it the Covid Election. If it was a horse race you would say the frivolous fraudulent filly beat the tried and true thoroughbred. The win was not unexpected as by ensuring all the others in the race had more hurdles to jump than she did Ardern guaranteed herself the win. By stacking the odds in her favour she won by the length of the race track. She made sure she would be the first and only one out of the starting gates when the gun went off. Everyone else was left in the stalls. republished from The BFD

March the 27^th 2020, should be etched on Daniel Andrews headstone if he ever gets to have one, for before this is over the sheer immensity of what has been done under his watch would drive others to commit suicide. That he is walking the path that may well end in political suicide is not apparent to him looking from his viewpoint, because he has a mindset that tells him, it is all about maintaining control. I am the strongman, just as his political sisters in Queensland and New Zealand see themselves as. But you see Daniel is driving forward; there is no rear vision mirror that reflects the trail of damage that his stewardship has left in the wake.

Each time I watch the latest news on the battle between Peta Credlin and Dan Andrews, I cannot help but think of that great fairytale and musical masterpiece Peter and the Wolf. 

Peter and the Wolf is a story about not being afraid, about taming nature and conquering external threats. The dark shadow in the woods beyond the fence perfectly evokes the paranoia of the Stalinist Regime, which wanted Russian citizens to believe that they "live in paradise, but there’s always an external enemy just beyond the fence, for which they must be on guard".

Geez, doesn't that ring a bell in today's modern world of Climate Change, Lockdowns and Socialist fear mongering.....

Hi everyone

Just to keep you in the loop - the server is being upgraded and during the changeover, there will be some teething problems. I hope to have it all sorted today.

Thanks for your patience and kind support
