As 2020 draws to a close, I tried to come up with something that would reflect on what a year it has been.
I think we all know it has been a shit of a year. No one needs to be walked through the nightmare that we have endured since the clock ticked over to midnight nearly one year ago and announced with great celebration that it was 2020. To say it was SOSO would be kind.

The latest member of the woke brigade is a very cranky indigenous female who has joined our Senate as a member for the Green Party. Shit, she sure looks Indigenous to me..... Not.
She has a ( here I go again ) white father and a black mother.
I find it somewhat puzzling that Lidia hates the race that gave her birth. After all, she is actually part white. Every time she dumps on " White Australia " she is dumping on the man who provided the DNA and the sperm that created that little one that was not aborted and was not denied an education. Her parents, black and white, gave her opportunities to grow and prosper yet, poor Lidia, hates her Papa so much because he is the worst thing that any human being can be.

Last night I watched "The Man who shot Liberty Valance " - it should be compulsory viewing for everyone in America right now, if not the entire world. What a spectacular tale about the value of a vote and the value of free and fair elections. I have watched it before, but never before has that message come through so loud and clear as it did yesterday.
Mimi Groves, a student in Virginia, got kicked out of college because of an old Snapchat video of her saying a racial slur. The ex-classmate who ‘exposed’ her prides himself on this memorable accomplishment.
If you were to ask me before Christmas if I knew who Mimi Groves was, I would probably have asked you if she was a character in a movie. The young Miss Groves has made national headlines here in the United States because someone used a recorded video of her saying a racial slur as a 15-year-old kid to get her kicked out of college. A situation made possible by rampant cancel culture, it’s emblematic of a larger sickness in our society.
Thanks for the Christmas greetings. They were received with so much pleasure.

I have just finished watching a very old video clip from the 1980's from a man named Yuri Bezemenov. I had never heard of him until one of my posters, Cinerama, put up a link to his incredible lecture from some time in the 1980's.
After being assigned to a station in India, Bezmenov eventually grew to love the people and the culture of India. At the same time, he began to resent the KGB-sanctioned repression of intellectuals who dissented from Moscow's policies and he decided to defect to the West. He died in 1993 aged just 54.
So what was it that struck me with such power when I watched the lecture? How frighteningly familiar it was to that which is going on right now.
2020 has been a year of traitors and betrayal. Never in all my years on Earth have I known a year where so much deceit and self-serving treachery has taken place. All across the world, Politicians and the Media have hoodwinked the people and bared faced lied for their own betterment.
We have been betrayed by Big Pharma; we have been betrayed by our own friends and neighbours. In short, we have become a world full of Benedict Arnolds.
This article was posted before Raymond F Peters passed from this life to the next. I read it again and could not help but think that it was worth a highlight.This gentleman wrote this some time ago. A timely reminder.
I have felt a surge of nostalgia of late. It could be my 93 years playing on my mind. I have to get help to type my words and I have to use a mobility scooter to get around these days.
I see myself in the mirror, after a welcome glaucoma removal, and I see an old man. But I am not an old man. Not inside. I am young, fit and healthy. I am still the young Naval man who wooed my wife and laid down my life for everything I still hold dear. Fortunately, I was not asked by He who knows All to give that sacrifice. I went on to enjoy life for decades when many others did not.
I served with the British Forces during the Second World War and, because of a War that no one wanted, I found a new life downunder. How extraordinary is that? Without the War, I would not have met my wife or had the life that I have enjoyed and cherished all these years.
People talk about War as an Evil thing. And it is. But out of Evil, there often comes some good.
How many couples met and married, made families and created memories because of this terrible and stupid event?

I had someone contact me by email about a comment on my latest article saying that the video link on the article was offensive. I asked if the person had watched the video. " No! " was the answer.
I suggested that perhaps it would be appropriate to actually watch the clip before deeming it offensive. Apparently, that was not open to negotiation.
With all the hoo hah and bullshit these days about offensive material, I, like a coward, deleted the " offending material. "
All it takes is one offended person to cause a stink and it becomes easier to just kow tow, get on my knees and say " you won. "
At a time of year celebrated for the spirit of birth, gift giving and the wonder of the Family, it is hardly surprising that we are spending this Christmas surrounded by self obsessed Globalists who are supporters of abortion, who hate the concept of Family and only like taking what belongs to others.
God was wise to send Jesus to Bethlehem before the advent of " Planned Parenthood " - otherwise who knows what would have happened to the world. In some respects, when Herrod ordered the slaughter of every male child so that he could avoid the prophesy of the child who would grow up to become King .... he was an early advocate for late term abortion. No matter that the little boys were already born ... kill them anyway.
I have always believed that Christmas is a celebration of Life, birth and the miracle of Motherhood. In a modern context, the birth of one of the most famous figures in history - Jesus Christ - is made all the more remarkable in that it happened in a stable, in poverty and against all odds. When compared with the pomp and ceremony today when a mother is carefully tended in sterile conditions in a hospital bed surrounded by attendant well trained staff, the miracle of the birth of this little lad is quite a staggering achievement.
