Our elected Government Representatives are defying our wishes and importing terrorists. They are importing people who are bleeding our taxpayer funded social security.

Our Government is destroying our culture, our Religious foundation, and our rights to speak freely and go shopping without being frightened of being shot, blown up or our throats cut with a knife. Or having to wear a mask or be jabbed with poison. 

Our homes are being invaded. Our rights are being invaded. Our culture is being invaded. Our liberties are being invaded. Our judicial system is being invaded. Our history is being destroyed and our language is being stolen. If you want to know who the stolen generation is in 2023, it is the many generations of Australians who have fought and slogged their guts out to create an Australia for which many of us were very proud. Stolen, yes, stolen, by our Government of whichever side is in power at the time.

Last week, I discussed the role of America in the defence and defense of the allies in the lead up to World War II. When, thanks to the back-up of American production, Britain was able to fight the threat from its enemies. As the war progressed, the allies were facing greater threats and assembly lines were needed to keep the allies armed.

On 7th December Japan attacked the American base at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. Tension between the two countries was extreme and had been rising for a long time starting with the American disapproval of the Japanese Army behaviour in China. As a sanction, America progressively denied supply of materials to Japan until it reached breaking point with the complete embargo on oil supplies without which Japanese industry could not operate.

Japan was well aware of the American vulnerability of weak defenses and there was strong support within the military to invade California. The decision not to invade was due entirely to the fact that it was known that there were many guns in the hands of the civilian population and California was very far from Japan which made supply a logistical nightmare.

The town of Longreach in  Western Queensland, Australia has had a tough time of late. Their much-loved paddlewheeler, the Pride of the Murray, had sunk to the bottom of the Thomson River.  Fortunately, she has been raised from the muddy waters and is now getting a much-needed cleanup. 

One of our readers has also been keeping us updated on a feel-good story about an emu family wandering the streets of town. Australia does not have an official national bird, but unofficially, it is widely accepted to be the emu. This impressive bird is pictured on the national coat of arms alongside another of Australia's most peculiar animals, the red kangaroo. Emus are the second largest bird in the world.  

So it was with horror that I read that two teenage girls deliberately ran them over, killing two of the chicks.

The saying "Off with their heads!" is famously associated with the Queen of Hearts character in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." In the story, the Queen of Hearts frequently utters this phrase as a threat to anyone who displeases her. She is known for her extreme and arbitrary sense of justice, which often involves ordering executions.

The Queen of Hearts' catchphrase reflects her authoritarian nature and has since become a symbol of irrational and arbitrary authority.

Readers with a culinary interest might have found the food being cooked aboard the Wanderlust II during its voyage through the canals of France appealing and might also enjoy the following article.
It comes from my files of food articles written and published over more than 20 years as a food critic.
Therefore, it’s now your turn to criticise my work. Patriot Realm ( Monty) and I welcome your feedback, it will determine if the ‘foodie’ concept will continue or be left on a vacant seat at the local pizza parlor. And, for those interested, in the crossing of the Atlantic voyage rest assured it is in the can and shall in due course be dolled out as a series. A lot of fine food in that series also. The entire voyage was 57 days. 
 
However, back to our star of the day. Asparagus.

When I was a child, my teacher taught us the story of Grace Darling, a heroine of enormous courage. I wonder how many of us have heard her name today or know of her incredible act of heroism one dark and stormy night in 1838?  It matters not what country you call home when considering people like Grace Darling. It is a story for everyone, from every background and every country. 

For there are many heroes in history whose names have been forgotten and whose acts of bravery have been washed ashore on a beach and taken away by the waves of indifference. 

This is our salute to one person whose name and deed should never be forgotten and, in the words of Wordsworth  " "But courage, Father! let us out to sea,
A few may yet be saved."

A commenter on this site said that we are watching life through a looking glass. 

This chance comment made one of our other contributors refer back to a quote from Lewis Carroll's book " Through the Looking Glass " and a quote from the Cheshire Cat.

He was talking with Alice, newly arrived in the land where insanity and nonsense prevailed. He said   “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, or you wouldn’t have come here.”

In the dusty heart of the Outback, where the sun scorches the earth and the kangaroos outnumber the people, there's a new craze sweeping through the land. It's not the latest Aussie slang or a new way to cook a snag on the barbie – it's the art of cat herding. That's right, people, move over cattle rustling and sheep shearing; it's time for the feline frolic of the century.

Now, you might be wondering how on earth herding cats can be a viable occupation, let alone a source of national pride. Well, let me tell you, it's all about turning the seemingly impossible into the distinctly Australian. It's about teaching our young, unemployed folks the fine art of cat herding and giving them a sense of purpose that's as Aussie as a meat pie at the footy.

I have never been reticent in expressing my love and admiration of America. I love the Americans who call it home.

As an Australian, I admire the exploits of their armed services ( when I was a boy during WW2 )  but it was my experience of living there in 1976 that cemented the attitude I developed and still have today.

America is presently going through a very bad patch and has dragged the rest of the Western World with it.

Since the end of WW2, the only thing that has stood between Communism and the life that most of the free world enjoys is America. The untold generosity to every beleaguered nation on this planet has not been appreciated by most of them. 

Thank God for America.

Many months of secrecy and speculation have preceded this historic announcement: The 2023 Voice Referendum will be held on Saturday, October 14.

In six weeks all Australians will be obligated to partake.

There will be no forthcoming change to our Constitution. Australians will not be fooled, not now, not by this; and despite the shaming propaganda and cynical corporate endorsements — it will all be for naught. And just as sure as winter yields to spring and the gloom and chill are overcome by a return of light — the devilish Lies underpinning the Voice will yield to Truth.

And they have…

While the name Hedwig Kiesler may not be immediately recognisable, and few would remember Hedy Markey, there's a strong likelihood that anyone of a certain age reading this would recall one of Hollywood's iconic beauties from its golden era - Hedy Lamarr.

That was the name bestowed upon her by Louis B. Mayer, propelling her to stardom and fame through his movie company. Regrettably, the vast majority remain unaware that Hedwig Kiesler, or Hedy Lamarr, was one of the pioneering figures in wireless communications. Her revolutionary patent laid the groundwork for "spread spectrum technology," the very technology that underpins the WiFi networks and Bluetooth-enabled phones we rely on daily. It also forms the core of the substantial investments currently fueling fourth-generation "LTE" wireless technology, promising vast improvements in wireless network speed and quality by spreading signals across the entire available spectrum - a feat made possible by Hedwig Kiesler's inventive brilliance.
