Well the New Year arrived and we were given the oh so exciting news that our tried and true Anthem had been changed. The next step will be removed totally , like they are trying to do with the flag. They changed all the words of the Lord's Prayer. They are changing the meaning of many of our words. Gay, Rainbow, words like Her and Him to They.

Colonial Australians voted for Federation for four key reasons – Defence, Foreign Affairs, Quarantine and the maintenance of Free Trade between States.
Our Federation is failing in all four areas.
If I was American.... I would be going to Washington DC on 6th of January.
If I was American, I would walk to Washington to be there to support President Trump.
If I was American, I would sleep on the side of the road and do anything within my power to be there to support President Trump.
Apparently, Australia is no longer young and free but one and free. This is just another brick in the wall and we must stop and consider the ramifications of this seemingly benign " little tweak. "
We saw it happen with the "voluntary opinion poll " on Same Sex Marriage. It will happen again with our anthem. The minute you give an inch to the vocal minority, they will DEMAND a mile. That is how it works.
I am not happy that this decision was made by Prime Minister Morrison as though it was no big deal. It IS a big deal and it is not and was not HIS decision to make on behalf of 25 million Australians.

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.
