One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services were to begin.

Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In his hand he carried a worn-out old hat and an equally worn-out bible.

The church he entered was in a very upscale and exclusive part of the city. It was the largest and most beautiful church the old cowboy had ever seen. The people of the congregation were all dressed with expensive clothes and accessories.

As the cowboy took a seat, the others moved away from him. No one greeted, spoke to, or welcomed him. They were all appalled at his appearance and did not attempt to hide it.

As the old cowboy was leaving the church, the preacher approached him and asked the cowboy to do him a favour. “Before you come back in here again, have a talk with God and ask him what he thinks would be appropriate attire for worship”.

The old cowboy assured the preacher he would.

The next Sunday, he showed back up for the services wearing the same ragged jeans, shirt, boots, and hat. Once again, he was completely shunned and ignored. The preacher approached the man and said “I thought I asked you to speak to God before you came back to our church”. “I did” replied the old cowboy.

“If you spoke to God, what did he tell you the proper attire should be for worshiping in here?” asked the preacher. “Well, sir, God told me that He didn’t have a clue what I should wear. He said He’d never been in this church”.

Should have refreshed before I typed that.

JC does not need me to defend him, but would suggest to JR that his Dad jokes will be rather less mirthful if delivered by someone embroiled in stoushes.

FWIW I perceived that there was some pretty rum goings on in the lead up to 2020, but the scale of it I did not foresee. I thought it was just for individual seats, not the Presidency.

Of course JC does not need defending and neither do I. He is supposedly grown up and can defend himself. He does though need to realise that he is NOT the font of all knowledge and that this is a Bog, I mean Blog, where Free Speech and Opinion is paramount,

‘Truth-telling’ the Left’s latest woke weaponTHE MOCKER

There are certain expressions which, although ridiculous, serve a useful purpose in alerting readers that what follows is fallacious gibberish. Phrases such as “hate speech”, “white privilege” and the insufferably smug “wrong side of history” are just a few examples.

Now a new word has emerged in the vernacular of the virtuous. It is time, they will say, that this country undergoes the process of ‘truth-telling’.

The aim of this, we are told, is for the good of the nation and to bring us together. “When we think about the effect that a national truth-telling process would have on Australia, it’s remarkable,” said Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney in July at the Garma Festival in north-east Arnhem Land. “I see this as, you know, a thousand flowers blooming.”

As to what is supposedly stopping Indigenous Australians from telling their stories about the effects of colonisation in the absence of the proposed Makarrata commission, Burney did not elaborate. Nevertheless, a mostly compliant media has adopted the term, referring to it with respect and even reverence. So much for journalists avoiding loaded terms.

It was a subject that featured last week on ABC’s Q+A. “When it comes to truth-telling, these are going to be really difficult conversations,” said Wiradjuri and Wailwan lawyer Teela Reid. Perhaps so. But if you serenely proclaim the transgressions of others warrant your truth-telling, be ready for a few unpleasant facts yourself.

We can start with Reid’s comments about the one match suspension of NRLW Indigenous player Caitlin Moran for gleefully referring to Queen Elizabeth II as a “dumb dog” on the day of her death. “Free speech isn’t free in this country, particularly for First Nations people,” said Reid. “I think we really need to make sure that when First Nations women are speaking out, we’re not being overpoliced. I mean, this is, you know, just shocking to me.”

She has a point. Just ask Country Liberal Party senator and Warlpiri/Celtic woman Jacinta Nampijinpa Price about the abuse and threats she cops from Indigenous activists when she calls out violence in Aboriginal communities. It is a truth that Indigenous women and girls are 31 more times likely to be hospitalised due to domestic and family violence related assaults compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts.

Last month Northern Territory Supreme Court judge Judith Kelly lashed out at terms such as “systemic racism” and “institutional racism,” telling a group of female lawyers there was a “cultural component” to Indigenous violence.

“There is the culture in some communities that tolerates violence against women and others that blames the victim and prioritises the interest of the male perpetrators over the female victims,” she said. “That, in my view, can only be changed from within those communities.”

But these domestic killings would receive virtually no publicity if not for a prominent judge deciding to do a little truth-telling about Indigenous culture. To quote Bundjalung, Yuin and Gumbaynggirr man Nyunggai Warren Mundine: “Don’t these Black Lives Matter?” Or are he and Price in the category Reid referred to last week when she sneeringly observed that “colonisers will always cherry-pick a black voice that suits their agenda”?

If Reid and other activists want truth-telling, bring it on. It is true to say the homicide rate in some NT towns is nearly twice that of the United States. It is also a truth that Indigenous youth suffers disproportionately from parental neglect. And is true that only 41 per cent of Indigenous children attend school 90 per cent or more of the time compared to the national rate of 70 per cent.

This is not to distract from the reality that colonisation had a devastating effect on the Indigenous population. Nor do I deny the massacres that took place or the attitude that the original inhabitants were a doomed people, the colonial administrators believing their obligation was simply to “smooth the dying pillow”. Those shameful aspects are already part of our history curricula, as they should be.

But if we to have truth-telling, then enough of the exaggerations and outright falsehoods. Eighteenth century explorer Captain James Cook was not a conquistador. Rather, he was a decent and enlightened man as well as one of history’s greatest navigators. It is also true he is fundamental to this country’s history, and that his vilification and obliteration have nothing to do with tolerance and everything to do with imposing a revisionist ideology.

It is an unfortunate truth that Australian students are taught the claims of Bruce Pascoe, an author who is to Indigenous history what John Pilger is to journalism. It is also a truth that a gullible media not only failed to scrutinise his ludicrous conclusions, but also treated them as an article of faith.

And it is a truth that governments devote enormous resources to addressing Indigenous disadvantage. As a federal parliamentary report noted in 2019: “Over the last decade, the Productivity Commission’s Indigenous Expenditure Reports … have consistently shown that total Commonwealth, state and territory government per capita expenditure on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is approximately double the per capita expenditure on non-Indigenous Australians”.

It is also true to say that many of the so-called progressive commentariat and Indigenous activists loudly decry governments for the state of these communities but refuse to acknowledge the root causes other than blaming racism and colonialism.

And it is true there is such a thing as an Indigenous bandwagon. The 2021 census recorded that 812,728 people identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, an increase of 25 per cent from 2016. And it is a truth that many of these arrivistes are motivated by a rent-seeking industry that mandates everything from holding so-called welcome to country ceremonies to employing ‘cultural safety’ officers.

It is also a truth that the mere act of elaborating these truths can see you hauled before a human rights commission or anti-discrimination tribunal. It is also true that the truth of one’s assertions is not an absolute defence to such action.

It is a truth that no matter how many treaties are signed, or how many truth commissions are held, the intention is not to reconcile but rather to reinforce a permanent sense of guilt in mainstream Australians. And it is a truth that in the wretched Indigenous settlements little will change as a result.

But you know what isn’t the truth? Claiming whitey is the source of all Indigenous misery.

The Mocker amuses himself by calling out poseurs, sneering social commentators, and po-faced officials. He is deeply suspicious of those who seek increased regulation of speech and behaviour.

I mean, the sheer heat.

They can’t even control themselves on the one day that some of their fellow citizens might mourn the old dear.

Even if they had no love for the Queen, can’t they let other people the chance to have their own feelings, perform their private rituals.

It would have cost them nothing.

But, of course, that is the style of the modern leftist. No one else may has a differing opinion, no one should be allowed to do something they don’t want to do themselves. They had to try to take the day from them.

They won’t let people have their own private thoughts. How can anyone think that these people believe in democracy.

Truth telling can be a challenging task in the world where truth is yet another victim of the woke mentality.

Over the past twelve years, aged in my 70’s, I have worked as a doctor in remote indigenous communities in W.A.’S Kimberley region. I very much enjoy working with indigenous folk, I respect and admire them and count many as close friends.

I believe I have a reasonable understanding of the realities, both good and bad and do not believe that ‘the Voice’ will have any positive impact on miseries visited upon indigenous folk in remote communities.
The problems that exist are not something that can be ‘constitutionally corrected’ and I cite a few well referenced reasons for this view:

?The physical injuries resulting from violence are frequently more severe for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 34 times more likely to be admitted to hospital for family violence related injuries (ANROWS, 2019).
? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are nearly 11 times more likely to die due to assault and twice as likely to die due to domestic and family violence compared to non-Indigenous women (Our Watch, 2018).
? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are five times more likely to be victims of homicide than non-Indigenous women. More than half (55%) of these homicides are related to domestic and family violence (Chan & Payne).
? Three in five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have experienced physical or sexual violence perpetrated by a male intimate partner since age 15 (Our Watch, 2018).

‘The Voice’ will achieve nothing for those so vulnerbale.

I believe that my view is truthful, for whatever that might mean.

Do you think the movement toward global free trade has stopped in its tracks? I think its reversing very quickly.

About a decade or so ago I read an interesting piece that’s kind of stuck with me. I can’t recall who wrote it , but was interesting how it suggested things could unravel and do so very quickly.

The piece suggested.. that if you were born in London and an adult around 1910 or so, in the middle class, you would have believed you were the king of the world, living in the most powerful , most international city in the world. Five years later that view unraveled.

A guy calls a company and orders their ‘5-Day, 5kg Weight Loss Program’.

The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19-year-old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.

The sign reads “If You Can Catch Me, You Can Have Me”.

Without a second thought, he takes off after her.

A few miles later puffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.

On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 5kg as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/10kg program.

The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads “If You Catch Me You Can Have Me”.

Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.

So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 10kg as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/25kg program!

“Are you sure?” asks the representative on the phone. “This is our most rigorous program”. “Absolutely” he replies “I haven’t felt this good in years!”

The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads “If I Catch You, You Are Mine”.

He lost 33kg that week!

Policy towards Aborigines in the 1960’s – the policy of “assimilation,” administered by the “Native Welfare Departments” may have seemed paternalistic and patronizing by today’s eyes, but, as late as 1948, there were still Aborigines, in remote areas, living their Stone age lifestyle.

An elderly couple was crossing the Canadian border to go to their winter recluse in Florida.

At the crossing they were stopped by an overzealous border guard, on his first day at work. He commenced to ask the couple a battery of questions.

The husband, on behalf of his almost deaf wife, answered the barrage of queries.

OFFICER: “Where are you going?”
HUSBAND: “We’re on vacation and going to Florida”.

WIFE: “What did he say? What did he say?”
HUSBAND: “He wants to know where we’re going”.

OFFICER: “How long will you be gone?”

I do like that The Mocker uses the word ‘whitey’. It throws into sharp relief the ridiculousness of her world view, at once giving a mocking and childish name to her stock villain, and allowing any engagement with her claims, however shouts and earnest, to be thrown back at her with humour – a poison to such as she. Her power is not argument, but accusations of grievous sin. Laugh at her and she has nothing.

Andrew Bolt in today’s Hun on Tan Grant:

Stan’s rant on race is a warning: Labor’s plan for an Aboriginal-only parliament risks turning into an incitement to war.

In fact, I have an urgent question for Grant, the ABC star who identifies as Aboriginal: Are you threatening us?
In an alarming piece on the ABC website, Grant describes his alleged fury at being muzzled during the mourning for Queen Elizabeth – at not being “supposed to talk about colonisation, empire, violence about Aboriginal sovereignty, not even about the republic”.
Already I suspect Grant is guilty of his typical hyperbole when preaching on our supposed racism. After all, Grant discussed those exact topics on the ABC’s Q&A last week, in an episode called Royalty, a Republic and Truth-Telling.
But who cares about truth when Grant is luxuriating in his righteous rage at (not) being shut up? “I have been short of breath and dizzy,” he writes.
“I feel my pulse racing now. I feel the tension building in my head. The veins constricting.”
Er, shouldn’t Grant seek urgent medical attention? These symptoms sound abnormal.
But then came what sounds to me a threat. Grant wondered how Aborigines didn’t get even: “How do we not fall prey to soul-destroying vengeance.” How incendiary. What “vengeance”, Stan? And against whom?
I’m sure Grant means vengeance against whites, because he rages that the Queen’s funeral showed us “history … written as a hymn to whiteness”, and adds: “Sometimes, I wonder what it must be like to be white.”
Pardon, Stan? If you really “wonder what it must be like to be white”, just ask your white wife before publicly trashing whites as some strange and hostile species of which you know little.
But I said Grant’s piece, praised by other ABC presenters, is a warning that Labor’s plans for an Aboriginal-only parliament could turn into an incitement to war.
What if Australians reject this plan when it’s put to a referendum? I guarantee activists and journalists will claim that proves white Australians really are racist and are at war with Aborigines, who must react … how? With “vengeance”?
Indeed, Senator Lidia Thorpe, the Greens’ “justice” spokesman, already says whites are waging “an ongoing war against us”, and in December seemed to cheer what Grant might call “vengeance” – Aboriginal activists burning the doors of our old Parliament House.
“Seems like the colonial system is burning down,” Thorpe gloated. “Happy New Year everyone.”
Labor’s plan is stoking such war talk. Pray no one gets hurt.

Albanese has spent his entire political career railing against privilege and inherited wealth and advantage,
Yet since he became PM he has totally embraced the very same privilege.
There have been many overseas trips accompanied by flunkeys, in taxpayer funded jet planes. Here at home chauffeured limousines are among the trappings of privilege Albanese and his born to rule, political cohorts have effortlessly embraced. He is surrounded by staff to attend to his every beck and call. People, who in another place he would sneeringly refer to as servants.
So all the privileges of inherited wealth, which Albanese has berated over almost his entire adult life suddenly seem to become acceptable.

Albanese is out of his depth as prime minister.
He will take any and all of the trappings of office that appear to give him gravitas.

The only reason it took so long for them to notice, of course, is that the mandates never actually applied to them.

On the subject of resurrected lizard monarchs (the Tele):

A man who believed the Queen was still alive has appeared in court, arrested after trying to grab the flag from Her Majesty’s coffin, according to reports.

The Sun reports 28-year-old Muhammad Khan was charged with two breaches of the Public Order Act, after allegedly trying to lift the Royal Standard from Queen Elizabeth’s coffin, having left the queue to see her lying in state.

And:

“He stepped off the carpet in the direction of the catafalque, then grabbed hold of the Royal Standard flag draped over the coffin with both of his hands,” [the prosecutor] Mr Staton told the court.

The court also heard Khan believed the Queen was not really dead and approached the coffin to “check for himself”.

Mr Khan wasn’t Robinson Crusoe:

On Monday, Mark Hague, 52, admitted a charge under Section 5 of the Public Order Act after he was escorted from the queue in Victoria Tower Gardens on Saturday morning.

A mourner raised the alarm after Hague was heard to say: “I will tell her to get out of her f****** coffin because she’s not dead.”

Thorpe can be censored. The Liberals/Nationals and One Nation could organise a motion to censure the slag, it might not pass because they don’t have a majority but it would make a point.

Oh and the Greens have already said that they’re going to organise a censure motion against Pauline Hanson, all because she told that putrid Mehreen Faruqi to fuck off back to Pakistan.

A letter from the governing class, to the People of Australia groovers:

We, the governing class, would like sit down and have an honest chat about where our great country is going and answer damaging claims being made by others about the direction we are taking…

Repeated allegations that Liberal and Labor have become virtually indistinguishable are not relevant, nor does it matter that the Nationals and Greens act as their appendages.

In the end, these once proud political entities work hard to provide us, the governing class, with new recruits for the system.

Having election campaigns financed by taxpayers has given us legislative control and rendered party organisations obsolete.

All new members of our governing class who make it into our ranks are set for a life of privilege and comfort out of reach for most in the real world.

The governing class no longer has to compete for issues along party lines except to maintain the charade of Parliament for the plebs.

Our achievements are many.

We have almost won the war to de-industrialise Australia and undermine the society that you and your forebears built.

Parliament is a rubber stamp for our whims. We are united as globalists and we invite you, the people, to embrace the new world order we are shaping for you, whether you like it or not.

As intellectually and morally superior globalists, we are proud of what we have done.

No more will Australia be comprised of pesky patriotic nationalists.

No longer will we put Australia first.

Rather, we must put the poor of the world first.

Let us do a little boasting.

Hear us out, and you will understand not only the internationalist future we have planned, but also that further resistance is futile.

To succeed in our 2030 goals, we had to destroy capitalism by making it the enemy of the people.

This was done covertly by utilising the power of the United Nations, infiltrating universities, corrupting mainstream communications, and entering political parties.

The weapons we created were fashioned from the demonisation of energy (hydrocarbon fuels), nuclear power, hydropower (by amusingly claiming they stopped the rivers from ‘running free’), and the promotion of alternative, expensive fake power sources in the form of some seriously outrageous ideas that we marketed as ‘clean energy’.

‘Privatisation’ of basic services such as power, water, and gas came as the first step.

We discovered, ‘privatisation’ proved to be a useful word to obscure the creation of ‘monopolies’.

This situation has been working out great for us.

With overwhelming support from the media and Green activists, we have all of Australia’s governments implementing our agenda.

We were surprised how easy it was to convince people to part with their money to build unreliable wind farms and solar-powered shadow grids (that are so useless their output is reduced by up to 80 per cent by just a layer of dust – and we went ahead and built them in deserts!).

We did a little bit of extra work and linked reliable energy to global warming.

It did not matter when the global climate refused to get hotter, we adroitly switched the bogeyman’s label to ‘Climate Change’ so that no matter what happened, we were right.

Our propaganda machine is so polished that we have convinced most people that we are working in the interests of the greater good.

With the media, academics, and my fellow politicians in lustful agreement, we cannot lose public popularity.

If we encounter a serious opponent – a particularly witty cartoonist, say – we can use the courts or Australian Human Rights Commission to persecute any dissenters.

All that is left is for you, the people, to accept that we are doing this for your own good.

Even when a few troublesome ministers work against our objectives, we always find ways to humble them.

After all, there is nothing like a hippy in a koala costume to scare your more querulous politician into voting against the common good.

Of all our achievements, the closure of the last coal-fired station in South Australia and the Hazelwood power station in Victoria makes us particularly proud.

What a win we had over the old conservatives!

Here we would be remiss not to thank our schools and educators, who have done so much to make sure children know what to think, not how to think.

As a reward for presiding over our kids dropping ever further down the international rankings for educational achievement, we have recently given our state schools billions of extra dollars.

The achievement-driven and reliable Catholic School system can obviously do with less.

Just a couple of decades ago you would have thought that our other goal of food-rationing was an impossibility.

Bugs? No one would even think of eating them while Australia remained a massive exporter of primary produce.

Today, our dreams of permanent shortages are approaching reality.

Australia has so many marine parks that nearly 70 per cent of seafood is imported despite being an island continent surrounded by water.

If anyone wonders why that should be the case, one of our tame, grant-lavished academics starts yelling that the Great Barrier Reef is almost dead.

This helps kill the overseas tourist trade as well.

Our marketing team has successfully promoted the idea that Australia’s future is one that flip-flops between flood and drought caused by ‘Climate Change’.

This should have been an easily exposed fiction in Dorothea Mackellar’s ‘land of droughts and flooding rains’, but the fiction that the dams would never fill again served our purpose well.

State governments squandered billions of dollars on useless, unnecessary, and now-mothballed desalination plants.

Our union mates loved that one.

Well done, bruvvers, for all that featherbedding and all those eight-figure cost overruns.

The aim of our governing class has always been to break the back of Australia by simultaneously using multiple strategies to attack the basis of culture, national pride, and unity.

These strategies are well advanced and I would love to show you how clever we elites are compared to you, but I will not give away too many secrets.

We took over Australia and you did not even notice until now when it is clearly too late.

We look smart and believe we are, but it was only possible because you were complacent.

On behalf of the governing class, thank you for your compliance.

Harry Wales has been to management classes (the Hun):

Prince Harry met with this father King Charles III earlier this year “to clear the air”, where he suggested a “mediator” to help mend the rift with the Royal Family, a new book about the royals claimed.

The Duke of Sussex’s mediator suggestion seemingly caught Queen Consort Camilla by surprise with her “spluttering into her tea”, according to an excerpt of The New Royals book by Katie Nicholl published in Vanity Fair.

A mediator. I’d go for that, as long as:

1. It is not Oprah; and
2. It is Bobcat Goldthwaite.

2. It is Bobcat Goldthwaite.

His absence during the recent fracas between Russia and Ukraine represents probably one of the greatest diplomatic blunders in recent memory.

Historians and scholars will be poring over this and it’s dire consequences for decades to come.

Anyone watched , The World On Fire, on SBS. It’s actually okay, if you can stomach, these days, the requisite lez or gay scenes. It’s about the very beginnings of WW11 presenting different stories set in various European capitals.

Is anyone else a little concerned that a chap who held a position of command in a war zone needs a mediator to talk to his old man?

Sure, then post your apology here for sending me that email with the disturbing/abusive title.
You’re going to have to learn boundaries and it won’t end until there’s an apology.

Thanks and really looking forward to it.

CCP Mentality:

Hire Western Expertise because it’s a Client requirement.

Ignore Western Expertise because it’s only a Client requirement.

Be really fucking surprised when it fucks up exactly the way your Western Expertise said it would.

Today’s surprise topics included:

Why using a chain block to pull pipework onto a pump flange fucks the pump.

Why you should not open an Ex motor to “check bearings” when it’s clear that the breaker popped because your electrician is not qualified to hook in a power point, let alone a VFD motor drive.

Why your pump supplier is bullshitting you when he says the source of that horrific noise is a problem with the $5 rubber bush in the coupling.

Topics for next week include:

Why demurrage charges are real and how your shipping company will sodomise you to the tune of $25k a day because you thought you could save $20 be reusing gaskets.
