In the middle of the insanity and uncertainty that has been 2020, we must not forget the things that matter from history. December 7th is a day to pause and reflect on those who fought and lost their lives so that we could voice our objections to the injustice that is going on at the moment. We enjoy freedom thanks to their sacrifice. The attack cost the lives of 2,334 servicemen and servicewomen and wounded another 1,143.

The attack at Pearl Harbor was both a blessing and a curse, depending upon which side of the pond you lived. For the Americans, it marked the beginning of a bloody war that resulted in so very many dead and wounded; so much misery and pain. For the British, Australians, New Zealanders and other allies, it was an injection of much needed support  - both moral and material. 

We, sitting here today in our homes around the world, must take sober reflection about dates of National and International importance: without marking these days and moments from history, we will forget and that would be a travesty.

I have just started watching the Georgia Rally and I am not crying. It is hayfever. 

The crowd chants " We love you " and I am sitting here, in my home in Queensland Australia and calling out " I  love you! ". I had to close my front door so my neighbours don't call the men in their long white coats to come and take me away.

Someone in the chat room on the RSBN stream just wrote:

" Make George Orwell fiction again. " How true.

The man on the stage is President Trump and he is the ONLY person on the planet right now who can make that so.

Wandering recently through an arcade popular with the green smoothie set, I saw a sign boasting: “Plant Based Meat”.

Someone should advise those nutritional dunderheads that all real meat is plant-based. Real beef and lamb are built from live plants like grasses, lucerne and mulga, plus salt, minerals and clay; the best chicken is built mostly on seeds and shoots of wheat, corn and grasses plus a few worms, insects and gizzard-grit; and when I was a kid our bacon was built by porkers from pollard, whey and vegetable scraps.

When I first read about this I wondered how on earth an island, owned by the people of Queensland had been leased to China. It troubled me. So I started digging and I have been down the rabbit hole for a week or more. 

We seem to be so pre occupied with fear and tales of terror these days, don't we? If you are not careful with your choice of news broadcaster, you could believe that the end of the world is nigh.

The problem is that it does not matter which broadcaster you choose, all that is being reported is that the end of the world, as we know it, is on our very doorstep. If I am to believe my heart, I sincerely believe that if President Trump is cheated, yes, cheated, out of this election, then the world is doomed. If I am to believe the likes of Harry, Biden, Greta and their friends, then the world is doomed to fry in an inferno of global warming. It is a gloomy, miserable and fear filled future, no matter which side of the political divide you are on.
