Church paedophilia justifies trannie kiddie fiddling; is that your point, retard.
There is no actual historical trannie kiddie fiddling being debated here.
The fat fascist fool claims that persuading primary school kids to “transition” to eunuchs is not interfering with them. To the trannies, their increased vulnerability is the prize.
PS, prove that there has never ever been “historical trannie kiddie fiddling”. Has the tranny lobby moved their colleagues around to keep their transgressions hidden?

THE ANCIENT ROYAL MAGIC OF THE CORONATION
by Francis Young
5 . 5 . 23
Medieval,” “anachronistic,” “outdated,” “a magic hat ceremony.” These are just a few of the uncomplimentary terms that some have chosen to describe tomorrow’s coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Whatever people in the United Kingdom and beyond may think of a coronation in the twenty-first century, there is no escaping the deep strangeness of this ancient rite, which only two nations on earth still perform—the other being the Pacific island nation of Tonga. The coronation is an intriguing composite rite that reaches back into England’s deep past, expressing the aspirations of its later rulers. Originating as a Christian compromise with earlier pagan rites of royal investiture, it would become in time a Protestant compromise with Britain’s Catholic past, while also referencing Britain’s growing role as an imperial power.
The sentence above defies description – how these j’ismist imbeciles remain employed is incomprehensible.
Whoever supplies Coorey’s kneepads must be a multi-millionaire.
Gender reassignment is not pedophilia? It’s a twisted sort of child-love that requires mutilation of children in the guise of ‘helping’ them. This particularly applies to the psychologists abetting them on and the teachers who put the poison initially into their minds. Groomers, all.
One young fourteen year old girl, growing up in an Ireland gone overboard on idealising ‘transitions’, was disgusted by how transitioning ideology was delivered to her at school by her science teacher denying basic biological realities. She wrote this poem below to express how she wants to be left to be the woman she is becoming without fake women intruding on that (which you can hear her deliver no holds barred most forcefully on Megyn Kelly’s show):
They bussed in gays in 2000s for street cred and now they’re conducting a pogrom of conservatives. Broad church, apparently.
I can’t get excited about the coronation- I find the Windsors rather diminished. Jumping into bed with the international left hasn’t helped. That said, the Australian republicans’ obnoxiousness ensures I’ll never them.
What sort of a drooling cretin actually speaks like this? Oh that’s right – one with a “doctorate” in the life and times of Australia’s best known clock fondler.
protect = cops should beat the shit out of anyone who dares oppose me
Gender reassignment is not pedophilia?
No.
Yeah, it’s Satanic, so is Paedophilia, but what’s wrong with calling it Sadism?
Paedophilia is already meaningless, it’s synonymous with Pederasty, according to you.
F word is on automoderation.
In Queensland, yes – all school volunteers over 18. In fact, even teachers, who are ordinarily exempt, require a working with children clearance if they are volunteering for such a program outside their normal duties.

We’re talking about a football club here. Seriously, WTF is a “Non-disparagement agreement”?
The muddling mediocrities intent on destroying professional sport in this country have lost their tiny minds.
Unfortunately, they’re not alone.
The modern conservative belief system requires locking up mothers of young children en masse and mandating forced genital inspections of minors.

King Charles III Has a Climate Record to Live Down (4 May)
This Saturday’s coronation of King Charles III marks a significant moment in Britain’s history. No previous constitutional monarch has expressed his political views so openly. Unlike his mother and grandfather, whose opinions, if they had any, remained unknown to the general public, the king’s record-setting seventy years as heir apparent to the British throne saw him define himself as a deeply committed environmentalist.
In 2000, the BBC invited the then-Prince of Wales to give the last of the 2000 Millennium Reith lectures on sustainable development. Charles spoke of his belief in the “bounds of balance, order and harmony in the natural world which sets limits to our ambitions and define the parameters of sustainable development.” He name-checked the founders of the modern environmental movement—Rachel Carson and Fritz Schumacher, authors, respectively, of Silent Spring and Small is Beautiful. He embraced the precautionary principle, warning that the absence of hard scientific evidence of harmful consequences from genetically modified (GM) crops should not be taken as a green light to exceed nature’s limits.
…
He then praised fellow Reith lecturer Vandana Shiva, an environmental campaigner and director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in New Delhi, for condemning large-scale commercial farming “so persuasively and so convincingly.”
Unfortunately for the people for Sri Lanka, Shiva also convinced the Sri Lankan government to ban GM crops and chemical fertilizers and switch to organic farming. The results were worse than remarkable; they were disastrous.
No…I can’t get excited by the coronation either. And both his kids are green loonies as well.
It may have some elements of “pagan rites”, but the anointing of kings goes back to Zadok and Solomon, and Israel’s Judges were anointed. Handel was smart composing that wonderful processional for George II.
Curiously the little winged birdie and its spoon are the oldest piece of surviving coronation paraphernalia.
The Liberals now have a non-geographical branch called ‘Liberal Pride’ for LGBT+ folk.
That may explain why social conservatives & traditionalists are being shown the door.
Great link by Francis Young above, P. Thanks for it.
And a Happy Coronation Day to all Australian citizens, for we have the dignity of belonging to and sharing in this great historical rite. Long live the King and long may he reign over us with his heirs and successors forever.
The alternative doesn’t bear thinking on.
And while we are at it, don’t change the Constitution.

There is, in my opinion, a lot to be said for both of those aspects of kingship.
Yes.
Re VicJack Inc and it’s recruiting problems.

Has a drag performer ever committed rock spider acts at a drag story time? No? So it’s just a delusion in your heads then.
Given the long and widespread history of sexual abuse by priests with assurance from Church hierarchy, it would be far more appropriate to close religious services. I mean, we actually have evidence of prior crimes there. Drag performers are far more morally superior to priests on that score.

(Imagine the transformation that could be achieved from this position. In just a few months, they’d be unrecognisable).
Me too.
Hilarious.
On the night of Queen Elizabeth’s death I watched women in the crowd reaching out for Charles’ hand, and some even kissing it, while others called out Long Live the King or God Bless King Charles. This was witnessing something extraordinary, the transition from an ordinary being to a sacral being. I think there is something in humankind that desires a living icon as a connection with whatever might exist beyond us. Kingship offers this, above and beyond the State.
In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, this sacral being is still Christian.
We should be glad of that.
The Warmlist got a mention in Dr. Briggs’ warts article. 😀
Not being kept up unfortunately, but at least it’s still on the net.
I think there’re databases around of failed climate prophecies too.

Pogria, vodka makers have a history of their advertising offending customers. Absolut Vodka had billboards across California and Texas with a map of Mexico’s borders in the early 1800s and the slogan “In an Absolut World”. Given the map showed California and Texas as part of Mexico, the campaign backfired badly and Absolut had a massive drop in sales from the consumer boycott.

Any condemnation of the organised crime within Labor that protected “rock spiders” for decades? The ALP has a long history protecting various “rock spiders”, and rapists. Or is it because you and your lot prefer to ignore those “rock spiders” because they don’t suit your ideological narrative?
I find amazing that someone whose dick is only 20mm long can tread on it so often. His ignorance of anything not in the daily leftard talking points is astonishing.
Half-exposing one’s genitals has been noted during story hours, and also many salacious sexually-suggestive poses unsuitable for young children to observe. When ‘drag queens’ perform at non-library functions (see videos from the US) then some very unsavoury things take place in front of children, or even involve children. It’s a short trip from louche to lawless, btw.

I think he’s just a green atheist. I could be wrong, as I’ve said before Christ Jesus set a very low bar.

I don’t disagree. Dictators can obviously also latch on to claiming a destiny above that of ordinary people. But their glory is easier lost than the aura of kingship. Dictators tumble and are gone, but even deposed kings keep something of their mystique, and may even be invited back in again as unifying figureheads. Dictators have programs and politics, something Constitutional monarchs do not (officially) have, so monarchs have limits placed upon them. Their power is ‘soft’, not hard.
Also, that sacral aspect of kingship, as I noted on the night of Elizabeth’s death, is already there in people living within monarchical systems, in their expectations and in their hopes. It can be harnessed for good, in fact, I think British Royalty already does this very well with all of their charitable works, and with their exclusion of those members who do not comply well with the moral demands of their position.
I think it is easier for the Republican impulse to end up as dictatorship (vale Caesar) and it can turn dynastic (vale Augustus).
I won’t chuck over a thousand years of functioning Monarchical tradition out of Australia yet. If ever.
I will not be watching one nano-second of the Chuckster’s coronation. I was certainly a monarchist when Queen Elizabeth was reigning. I voted “no” to a republic here and most probably will do so again – for obvious reasons! Charles and his spawn have disgusted me on so many fronts, I couldn’t care less if the entire shyteshow goes down the gurgler.
My informants tell me that Prince Markel will be tucked away in the back during Chas’s coronation – up behind Prince Klaus of Schleswig Holstein, in the spivs and wastrels row.

He’s also a defender of violence towards women. He admitted on Sinc Cat a few years ago that he’s all gung ho for punching Nazis, but you see, in his little world, Nazis are all of us who disagree with his world views, so the next step is to punch us. He actually feels righteous about it.

This doesn’t make Charles III “sacred”. It’s the office he bears.
I’ve seen the comment “it’s Charles’ Big Day” referring to the coronation. It is not his big day…it’s England’s and by extension, the Commonwealth’s.
The short answer is yes, M0nty No Morals.
These louche degenerates have no place around children.
That they actively seek to be there indicates something malign is going on.
Parental hackles raise against it, as they should.
To the nearest scrupulum and pennyweight.
There is definitely a moral argument. It is exposing children to lewd behaviour for a start.
What we don’t appear to have is a legal one. Such are the times we live in.
I note that the pervert apologist is spraying the words “rock spider” around today. It must make him excited.
I should also add that earlier the pervert apologist compared me to Ricardo Bosi. It isn’t me who’s like Bosi, it’s the pervert apologist because all he’s done, all morning, is spray around the words “rock spider”. Bosi has an unhealthy obsession with pedophiles and the pervert apologist has an unhealthy obsession with “rock spiders”.

“This was one single can given to one social media influencer. It was not made for production or sale to the general public. This can is not a formal campaign or advertisement.“
But that is my point about those women, Calli, and hundreds of thousands like them; men too.
The office he bears has a sacral element to it, and they recognise that, invested in the person.
It is not deification, it is a positional attribute, something numinous, spiritual, sacred.
It ‘descends’ on the head of the king at his Accesssion. It does not belong to other Royals.
“This doesn’t make Charles III “sacred”. It’s the office he bears.”
Correct, which is why I’m celebrating Coronation Day.

The American Interviewer (I assume a USA’an) should have done her homework. It was the British who abolished slavery in the early 1800s and that applied throughout the British Empire although the East India Company managed to keep it going for a while longer.
It was the British Royal Navy that enforced the abolition of slavery by blockading the West Coast of Africa while attempting to prevent the Slave Traders from getting the slaves from Africa to the Americas.
When was slavery abolished in the USA? Please remind me, you one eyed Interviewer.
“These louche degenerates have no place around children.

All correct Lizzie.
Thanks dover.
Lizzie, it’s nothing to do with the mystique of royalty, as you write.
In sacral kingship the monarch is a priest-judge who serves as mediator between God and the people. In some instances he is even invested with divinity. (You’ll find a lot about it in Frazer’s Golden Bough.)
Charles re-engaging with this notion via aspects of the coronation liturgy is as loopy as his green obsessions, perhaps more so.
Next up, his revival of the “Divine Right of Kings”, to save the planet, of course.
A quick glance at St Edward’s crown will tell you all you need to know about the King’s place in the scheme of things.
Unless he tries to sit on the thing, which will be rather uncomfortable. 😀
I might add that in recent days Charles has advised that the object that sits on top of the crown is, in his mind at least, equal to any other religion’s symbol. So he will be wearing it under false pretences right from the get-go. He won’t be the first, just the most brazen so far.

With mOron’s logic here, it’s absolutely acceptable (to him and his retarded ilk) to groom young impressionable kiddies for future perversions. In fact, it’s to be encouraged asserts mOron.
Because the sick left want to get at the kids while they are young, so they can be prepared for their coming strategy they have planned which is the continual lowering of the age of consent and also ensuring that any perversion or deviancy is decriminalized and considered a new “normal” like homosexuality.
Every move the left make regarding kids is calculated and part of a much bigger perverted strategy.

Mothers may take their children to all manner of what may be inappropriate activities, that they do so is neither here nor there. We don’t accept mothers leaving kids in the car while they spend hours in the pokies.
Drag queens are adult performers with an exaggerated sexualized persona. There is no good reason to confront children who simply want stories read to them to a reader with an exaggerated sexualized persona unless the purpose is to normalise these personas with children. That, for me, is enough to disqualify drag queen performances as readings to children. I don’t believe every drag queen is a pedo, but I’m not surprised to find some people who are drag queens have form with children.

Quite so. Nor is it surprising that mOron leaps to the defence of having drag queens being used as a grooming agent for kids. To him and his sick mind, grooming kids is simply part and parcel of his DEI creepy freakshow world.
Pogria, did you scroll down to see the Prom invite? 😀
Im half way through ‘The Fourth Turning’ which lays out the thesis that history is not linear, but cyclical, driven by an 80-100 year cycle whereby the environment the children grow up in then carries forward to how they act as they go through early adulthood, middle age and finally old age: its a variant on the ‘Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times…’ theme.
The book posits were are now in the ‘4th turning’, a phase of history characterised by conflict, war and widespread loss of confidence in the institutions – which seems about right.
That’s how pathetically sick of mind you are, mOron. That “show” was not the Wiggles or High Five. Any mother (or father) actively engaged with sexually grooming their young children should indeed be charged with child abuse.

Haha, EVs are racist.
Study of air quality impact of EVs shows inequalities due to income differences (Phys.org, 5 May)
A trio of environmental scientists and city planners from the University of California, Berkeley, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the University of Miami has found that as motorists slowly make the jump from gasoline-powered vehicles (GVs) to electric-powered vehicles (EVs), people living in the same general area experience different levels of change in air quality. The researchers found air quality tends to improve in higher-income neighborhoods and remains the same or grows worse in poor neighborhoods.

How does this new and questionable science resonate for those with traditional faith-based beliefs? As stated in the Bible, “Genesis 1:27 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
Should those who abide by biblical teachings be forced to sacrifice their own beliefs to accommodate the latter?
Recently, our nation has seen an uprising of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the workplace. Does “inclusion” apply to everyone or are these principles selective?
Where do those who hold traditional values fall within this spectrum, as Governor Newsom accelerates the state’s efforts towards progressivism?
CNS News reported that Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital, stated “that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.
By encouraging those who are already mentally unstable to further embrace their disorder, we are preparing these individuals for their own demise.
This concept is no different regarding eating disorders, as an anorexic patient should not be medically advised to continue starving themselves to validate their own personal truth. As stated in a 2022 article from The New York Post, “according to an online survey of detransitioners conducted by Dr. Lisa Littman…40% said their gender dysphoria was caused by a mental-health condition and 62% felt medical professionals did not investigate whether trauma was a factor in their transition decisions.”
There are a plethora of inquiries which surround the origin of one’s desire to identify with a gender other than the one biologically presented at birth. For example, was the adult or child previously subjected to sexual, emotional, or physical abuse, drug usage or chemical toxicity? How will puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgeries affect our youth as they progress to adulthood? While a person may alter their external appearance, this does not change their inherent sex.
In recent weeks, our nation has seen a prodigious drive to advocate for policies, laws and programs supporting transgender rights.
While all United States citizens deserve equal representation, biological women are being silenced regarding the effects of these ventures.

It also doesn’t make much sense that you believe in the sacral primacy of enlightened Western culture in human development, but if you take a toddler to one or two drag shows that will start them off on a path of abject degeneracy.
Have you no faith in your own Judeo-Christian values? Are your precious beliefs in God, country and creed so weak and brittle that the sight of one upside-down acrobat in greasepaint and mascara will undermine the whole shebang?

Queen Elizabeth killed Gaia.
Humanity’s tipping point? How the Queen’s death stole a climate warning’s thunder (5 May)
Think back to September last year. What happened early that month? What news shook the world and reverberated for weeks, if not months?
That’s a question I’ve been asking friends and colleagues lately.
On September 8, 2022, at 6.30pm in Britain, Buckingham Palace announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The news broke just 30 minutes before the press embargo lifted on a major review of climate change tipping points in the journal Science.
The paper in Science was truly earth-shattering, as it heralded changes that could threaten the future of civil society on this planet. But it was the other news that captured the world’s attention.

Boy can we breed ’em in this country or what!
Lysenkoism Bruce and I am being polite.
mOron,
I’ll explain this carefully and simply – so your feeble mind can understand.
It’s not the drag queen freak at issue here. It’s perverts and their supporters like you mOron ,who promote and take their impressionable kids to these creep shows cheered on by the left, that are at issue. And, who then assert it’s somehow “normal” or fun to groom the kids
You deviants are a much bigger and far more destructive cohort than our drag queen population. They are just creepy tools you use. So you better expect plenty more flack when extolling your sick beliefs.
M0nty, if you are addressing me you are addressing a mere cultural rather than believing Christian.
You should regard me more as a cultural analyst. And I do not like what I see when analysing people who hang on to boomer beliefs such as you espouse (whether boomer or not, I know of your ilk far too well). I especially do not like the sexualisation of children that a loss of stable familial values has enshrined in our culture currently. I think Western Civilisation has been and should go forward as better than that. Learn how to keep your own children safe, M0nty, or your own louche values may come back to bite you.
I wish you would grow up and get some wisdom. And stop piddling in here like an infant.
Transvestites are latest shock troops of the Marxist establishment
Plus, M0nty, on the substantive issue, some of those story time degenerates did expose themselves in sexual ways to children – one in particular had his crutch well on display under his lifted skirt.
Such autogynophiliac fun!
Fat fascist fool
Given the long and widespread history of sexual abuse by priests with assurance from Church hierarchy, it would be far more appropriate to close religious services

Follow Up – Answering Questions

A follow-up to answer some of the popular questions about my experience with the corrupt administrative state, what I prefer to call the Fourth Branch of Government that operates behind the visible Potemkin Village.
. Why did you wait a year to outline what took place?
. Why tell the story now?
. Who benefits from the current information?
. What ramifications does this mean for the Twitter Files? Not sure.
. Did you have to defend yourself against this? Yes, and yes, it’s not cheap. There are only a handful of lawyers within driving distance to DC who would even contemplate taking on a client who is going against the system with unlimited resources.
. How did you know what approach to take?
Calli,
I scrolled down after I saw your comment. hehehe, funny and sweet. Only the coconuts were missing.
If we’re trying for true equality, then male and female should be removed from all government documents…
Along with name, address, occupation and many other things…
Should have one box only, the one the government cares about the most…

Half-exposing one’s genitals has been noted during story hours, and also many salacious sexually-suggestive poses unsuitable for young children to observe. When ‘drag queens’ perform at non-library functions (see videos from the US) then some very unsavoury things take place in front of children, or even involve children. It’s a short trip from louche to lawless, btw.
So the short answer is no. Excellent.
Reading comprehension fail, fat fascist fool. The answer was Yes.

I see that Monty is eschewing any actual argument. He doesn’t want to address whether taking a child to an exaggerated sexual performance is inappropriate or not, but wants to retreat to unless someone is actually sexually assaulted or groomed at said performance it is entirely appropriate. In other words, Monty believes that taking your child to a strip show is appropriate.
Speaking of Dunadd in Scotland’s wild Argyle. After a long trip by single-file road around endless lakes we arrived at Kilmartin Hotel where we stayed the night. Very small pub room (that was the one where I had to put the chair in the shower recess in order for Hairy to pack his suitcase), but from the pub you could see Dunadd a mile down the road. The next day we went there. The weather was foul and I stayed in the car as I’d been before to the top, while Hairy tackled the climb. He returned after getting half way up, defeated by the weather and dare I say it, by his years, even though his are ten less than mine. I recalled the last time, in 2006 when I had leaped in good weather like a mountain goat up that steep climb, and doubted if nearly 20 years later I would have the same energy and competence to do that.
Was that some deity, destiny, fate, or my own mind telling me that I am physically failing, as all living things must?
Judge in Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial engages in blatant dissimulation
My assessment of the probability of Donald Trump receiving a fair trial on the highly questionable charges (falsifying business records) brought against him by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg just plummeted to subterranean levels.
The judge in the case just metaphorically peed on Trump’s leg and told him it was raining, to employ a venerable and colorful American expression.
He issued a gag order and specified that he was not issuing a gag order and violated Trump’s First Amendment rights while claiming he didn’t violate his First Amendment rights.
The technical name, albeit a less flamboyant one than the metaphor of micturition, is dissimulation.
Kyle Schnitzer and Emily Crane of the New York Post report:
Former President Donald Trump has been banned from talking — or posting — about certain evidence uncovered in the Manhattan District Attorney’s “hush money” criminal case.
Justice Juan Merchan handed down the ruling Thursday during a Manhattan Supreme Court hearing after prosecutors sought a protective order to restrict Trump, 76, from publicly revealing any evidence handed over to his legal team as the case unfolds.
The judge — who insisted he was not imposing a “gag order” — said Trump was prohibited from talking about evidence specifically obtained by the DA’s Office and turned over to the defense to prepare for trial, including people’s names or personal information.
“I am not going to do anything … to infringe on his First Amendment rights,” the judge said.
If Trump can’t comment, how is that not a gag order? As far as the First Amendment goes:
But Trump’s lawyers objected to the order, arguing the 45th president has a First Amendment right to tell his side of the story — especially given his bid for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
“Obviously, Mr Trump is different. It would be foolish to say he is not… He is different,” Merchan said Thursday.
How is Trump “different” when comes to First Amendment rights? Is the judge saying that he has fewer rights than any other American?
Because mOron believes whatever the left tell him to believe , for the depraved reasoning they provide daily to him. He would otherwise be just another empty insignificant vessel.
But even though mOron is actually a brainless lemming, he represents sick leftist thought and strategy being promoted here. He’s therefore a very worthwhile target.
Fat fascist fool
None of you have ever answered the point of why it is that mothers take their kids to see it, of their own free will, and why that is supposed to be illegal. You can’t just scream PEDO because there is no history of such acts happening at these events. You just made it up.
Here is a different but very closely related question.
Why did leftard mothers like Dorothy Hewitt prostitute their under age daughters to leftard men? That was definitely illegal, and there is a history of such events.

Watched a show about Charlie last night.
Did him no favours.
Drag is a performance based on the novelty of men dressed in glamorous and/or skimpy female clothes.
Woman cannot be drag acts as they are female. It is a sex based genre and therefore unsuitable for children.
People who wish to read to children for the sake of advancing a child’s knowledge and participation in the written word can do that without a sexual display. I’m sure lesbians and gay men volunteer for this without fanfare.
Imagine a drag time story hour performed in front of a big group of teenage boys. I bet you can’t and that says it all.
Today, the U.S. Army is giving troops
“…extensive guidance for how to integrate transgender soldiers into its ranks, including … how to respond to pregnant men.”
How must that be going? Is it proper to pop the question? “When is your baby due?”
From
The Woke U.S. Army has lost its grip on reality. How many rank and file still have confidence in their leadership? They now lecture troops on how to “respond to a pregnant man.”
Perhaps this is why the Navy SEAL who helped kill bin Laden had this reaction to the Navy’s new drag-queen recruitment campaign: “I can’t believe I fought for this bulls–t.”
“The US Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us.”
It’s now much easier to put a girly man in charge of soldiers and sailors than it was to put an incompetent in charge of newspaper reporters. Never thought I’d see the day.
But it gives pause when thinking how close America is to shooting wars with China over Taiwan and with Russia over Ukraine.

Every move the left make regarding kids is calculated and part of a much bigger perverted strategy.
And the fat fascist fool supports that strategy every inch of the way.
Asimov described the same phenomenon in Foundation and Empire, with the hereditary mayor Indbur:
“Mayor Indbur – successively the third of that name – was the grandson of the first Indbur, who had been brutal and capable; and who had exhibited the first quality in spectacular fashion by his manner of seizing power, and the latter by the skill with which he put an end to the last farcical remnants of free election and the even greater skill with which he maintained a relatively peaceful rule.
“Mayor Indbur was also the son of the second Indbur, who was the first Mayor of the Foundation to succeed to his post by right of birth – and who was only half his father, for he was merely brutal.
So Mayor Indbur was the third of the name and the second to succeed by right of birth, and he was the least of the three, for he was neither brutal nor capable – but merely an excellent bookkeeper born wrong.”
An excellent bookkeeper born wrong. Asimov of course was adapting Gibbon’s Decline and Fall into science fiction, so the same rule of three was valid as far back as Roman times.
The ‘clash of civilizations’ is already underway as the world resists Westernization
China’s judgment is sound in attempting to rally non-Western nations against imposed values
“China’s latest attempt to rally the world against Western values,” reads a headline in The Economist, an outlet which is well known for its Anglo-capitalist outlook.
The article begins by citing Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” thesis, which argues that a clash between East and West would define the post-Cold War future as a form of cultural and religious identity conflict.
In presenting this theme, the article then dives into what Xi Jinping has touted as his ‘global civilization initiative’ based on the premise that “civilizations can live in harmony.” The catch, as interpreted by The Economist, is that the “West must stop promoting its values, or Huntington will be proven right.”
Arguably, the world has been in a cultural conflict for a while now, and it didn’t start with US-China competition.
The rise and surge of political Islam, after all, pursuing hard-line interpretations of Sharia law, and even going as far as terrorism and insurgency, was a reaction to Westernization in the Middle East, an attempt to try and enforce an Islamic identity against it.
To some extent, the War on Terror was a ‘clash of civilizations’ as much as it was a clash of ideologies and cultural identities which saw each other as mutually existential threats.
For the past 400 years or so, Western nations have dominated the world. European empires, as well as the United States, subjugated nations and built colonial states across the globe.
This was done primarily for economic reasons, allowing these countries to enrich themselves at the expense of colonies and creating vast commercial empires which were enforced by military power.
Such imperialists framed themselves as benevolent guardians who represented a higher form of civilization and values which they were “bringing” to the colonized. Thus, as they spread their empires throughout Africa, Latin America, the Indian subcontinent, Asia, and elsewhere. Westerners also sought to expand their ideology and value systems.
It is because of this that “Westernization” and “globalization” have effectively meant the same thing, as the empires of old were the ones that brought the world together through the economic and trading system they created. But starting in the 20th century, many of the countries which were colonized by the West started to resist their oppressors, and movements for independence and liberation surged.
One such movement, of course, was the rise of the Communist Party in China led by Mao Zedong, and every movement he inspired.
While the US triumphed in the original Cold War and ushered in a new wave of globalization, styled as Pax-Americana, that era has now come to an end.
This is because the world has changed, specifically through the emergence of China as a global power.
The concept of “globalization” has shifted from being a West-dominated phenomenon, no longer synonymous with “Westernization,” to a more diverse one in which the US and collective West realize they no longer control.
In other words, “globalization” is no longer a one-way road whereby the West imposes its values unilaterally on the rest of the world in conjunction with economic dominance.
Countries such as China, as seen through programs such as the Belt and Road Initiative, are able to benefit from it too.
This is where the new “clash of civilizations” comes in, precisely because China has gained the ability to challenge the West’s vision for the world on a scale never seen before, and even surpassing that of the former Soviet Union.
Contemporary China frames itself as a model within a multipolar order, seeking to reject the Western-centric version which has dominated the world for centuries and allowed these countries to exploit and change others.
In doing so, China refuses “Westernization” and positions itself as its own “civilizational pole.”
Of course, it is not alone, and Beijing finds support from many nations that have similarly been “net losers” and subject to colonialism, and who all seek a fairer international system. For example, this has great appeal to countries in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, South Asia and, of course, Russia.
Many of these countries see the onslaught of Western values not only as historical threats to their national sovereignty, but also to their own cultural identity.
Why, for example, is a country such as the United Arab Emirates, a traditional Western partner, now so pro-China? As a highly conservative Arab state, it views the pursuit of Western liberalism as a threat to its own Islamic values, and sees support in a Chinese state which, even espousing a different ideology, encourages plurality and respect for different civilizations as opposed to Western evangelism.
Apart from very subservient countries such as Japan, the rest of the world has never wanted to be dominated by the West.
That doesn’t mean they are hostile to the West, but it does represent a longing to be treated as equal and to exist on their own terms as opposed to being at the bottom of an economic and value hierarchy which only benefits a small group of countries.
As such, the new Cold War could very much be built on a “clash of civilizations,” because it is Western liberalism up against those who elect not to live by its premises.
Gez earlier this morning.
Very high maintenance generation capacity relative to what we’ve had.
With the added bonus of not even lasting half as long before it completely craps out.
It beggars belief.
It’s going to get rather more ugly;
“When the Reserve Bank of Australia board surprised most people by raising interest rates on Tuesday, governor Philip Lowe wanted to give households and financial markets a psychological shock.
The day before Tuesday’s interest rate setting meeting, CoreLogic reported that national dwelling prices had risen for a second consecutive month and for a third month in a row in Sydney.
After a year of national house prices falling almost 10 per cent in response to rising interest rates, the rebound followed the RBA signalling – and then granting – a pause in interest rates heading into its April meeting.
That pause was like a valve releasing pressure, hinting to home owners that the sunny economic uplands were in sight again. Borrowers began acting like the rate rises were over.
The inflation-fighting Lowe needed to send a blunt message that the RBA was not finished raising interest rates and that the bank was still determined to crush consumer price rises.
Even some in the real estate industry thought that a rate rise was warranted. Property executive Geoff Lucas says the rate rise was necessary to deflate “irrational exuberance”.
“Unfortunately, this increase is the increase we had to have” says Lucas, chief executive of The Agency Group and a former CEO of McGrath Real Estate.
To be sure, rebounding house prices were only one of at least four major factors why the RBA decided to increase interest rates by a quarter point to 3.85 per cent on Tuesday.
High inflation of 7 per cent and accelerating services sector inflation, a near-50-year low unemployment rate of 3.5 per cent, rising wages and flat labour productivity all convinced the RBA to impose its 11th cash rate rise in 12 meetings.
But the house price factor provides insight into why the central bank believed that another tough message to the community was warranted. Housing is particularly interest rate sensitive and many Australians tend to view the RBA’s decisions through the prism of the mortgage belt.
The RBA typically does not target house prices for the sake of trying to set them at the “right” value, preferring to leave housing supply and property tax issues to governments.
An independent review of the RBA, released only weeks ago, recommended the banking regulator use other prudential tools as the primary response to financial stability issues in the housing market, such as APRA setting limits on risky bank lending to investors and for interest-only loans.
For the RBA, that remains the case. But the inflation-targeting central bank was concerned that rising house prices would add to inflation pressures and make it harder to return inflation to its 2 per cent to 3 per cent target band in a “reasonable” time frame by mid-2025.
Home owners would feel wealthier and spend more, interfering with the monetary policy “transmission mechanism” to reduce inflation.
Indeed, pre-COVID-19 RBA research shows that house prices had a bigger impact on discretionary spending on new cars and furniture than previously thought.
So this week, Lowe and the RBA board decided to nullify the inflationary risk of a new “wealth effect”.
More resilient
RBA head of economic analysis Marion Kohler said on Wednesday the housing market had been a “bit more resilient than might have been expected” due to the immigration surge, higher rents and changes to the interest rate outlook.
“Lower housing prices generally dampen consumption, and the effects of the earlier decline in prices is still working its way through,” Kohler said.
“But with housing prices seemingly stabilising a bit sooner (and at a higher level) than most observers would have expected, the total effect of lower housing prices on consumption will be a bit smaller.”
An experienced interest rate trader said the RBA wanted to “knock complacency out of economy”.
“A hike when not expected has much bigger psychological impact and will make people think twice if they are feeling a bit more relaxed,” he says.
“As a trader it’s always the shocks that knock you around.”
The three-year bond yield jumped about 0.20 of a percentage point within an hour of the RBA’s announcement.
This will flow through to higher fixed rate mortgages, which are priced off the three-year bond yield curve and which had previously been falling in response to the RBA’s temporary pause.
Bond traders who indirectly help set these fixed rate home loans and had priced almost zero chance of a rate rise on Tuesday won’t be so dovish about the RBA in the future.
The rate hike has also unwound the “lazy long” position of many traders. “You would be game to go aggressively long rates in the next few months,” the former trader says.
But after the shock of the latest rate hike passes, the RBA will need to retain a tightening bias to convince households and the markets that it could still lift the cash rate above 4 per cent if inflation doesn’t settle down.
Lowe says he wants to avoid higher inflation becoming entrenched in people’s expectations. He’s seen that services inflation is proving more persistent overseas and those same forces are flowing into the labour-intensive local services sector.
Lowe’s greater tolerance for above-target inflation is being tested. The psychology of inflation expectations is particularly relevant to wage and prices setting.
“If people think inflation is going to remain high then, understandably, they will adjust their behaviour,” Lowe said on Tuesday night. “Firms will be more willing to put up their prices and workers will seek larger pay rises.
“If this adjustment in expectations were to happen, high inflation would become entrenched and the end result would be even higher interest rates and a poorer outlook for jobs.”
Lowe was also firing a warning shot to trade unions and the Labor government pushing for inflation-matching pay rises.
After three years of zero labour productivity growth – measured by no growth in output per hour worked – pay rises may be more inflationary than past higher productivity periods.
The delicate task for Lowe is to send enough of a wake-up call for people to temper their economic activity, without breaking the economy.
Former prime minister and treasurer Paul Keating’s adviser, Don Russell, once recalled how they heard the economy “snap” on a particular day in 1989 after the RBA aggressively jacked up interest rates.
Lowe would prefer a less audible soft landing by treading the “narrow path” to avoid recession. Moreover, there may be a psychological story playing out inside the RBA, too.
No one will ever admit it, but it’s hard not to think that Lowe – perhaps with just a few months left in his seven-year term to September – is considering his legacy.
He will want to be on the path to getting inflation under control without snapping the economy.”

Justin Trudeau Gaslights the Public, Denies He Ever Forced Anyone to Get Vaxxed
Effeminate government mommy Justin Trudeau recently took the opportunity to gaslight Canadians about his brutal, unprecedented vaxx mandates.
“There are potential side effects… While not forcing anyone to get vaccinated, I chose to make sure all the incentives…were there to encourage Canadians to get vaccinated,” Trudeau counterfactually claimed.
This is, of course, a flagrant lie, as Trudeau directed his government to mandate vaxxes for all government employees.
But what would one expect from a “basic dictatorship admirer”?
Rules you out then.

Of course, western imperialism exploited many evolving nations economically. But trade and, dare I say, humanitarian values, also brought prosperity and increased education and opportunities to many agrarian economies .

I had the misfortune of walking through Southern Cross station during Grand Prix week, the entire place, floors, walls, hanging banners, inside and out was covered in advertising for Police careers. That kind of set up would cost several hundred thousand dollars to lay on. Good money after bad.
And if they can’t get the numbers up they will recruit from overseas. Can you imagine retreaded UK or Canadian cops coming over here. Just what the Dr ordered. More of the same. I think the Canuck cops distinguished themselves even more by meting out severe beatings to protesting truckers and dragging off Pastors.

Music for the coronation of King Charles III
Excerpts:
12 new works have been commissioned to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023. The music draws from centuries of British tradition as well as contemporary arrangements. The composers who have been commissioned come from diverse backgrounds in classical, film, sacred and musical theatre.
Six of the new commissions have been composed for orchestra and will be performed prior to the arrival of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla at Westminster Abbey. The music will be complemented by a programme of other, mainly British music spanning 350 years.
Paul Mealor’s Coronation Kyrie marks the first Welsh language performance at a Coronation, to be sung by bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel and the expanded Choir of Westminster Abbey.
In contrast, the Gloria is sung from Byrd’s Mass For Four Voices.
Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Coronation Anthem, Make a Joyful Noise, will unite the expanded choir, Fanfare Trumpeters and the Coronation Orchestra in an adaptation of Psalm 98. Beside Lloyd Webber’s anthem, Handel’s Zadok The Priest, which has been played at every coronation since 1727, will be sung during this service.
re Wilfred Kent Hughes:
In 1966 Andrew Peacock stood for Kooyong. Sir Wilfred was a seated a couple of rows back from me. The Draft had been in operation for a year and there were quite a few students like myself in Kew Town Hall so there was some commentary unfavourable to the candidate. I recall it became rather heated behind me toward the end.
Later in ’66 I attended his campaign meeting for the seat of Chisolm, held in Camberwell Town Hall, only about 20 people and fairly uneventful. That was unlike the Liberal meeting in Jim Cairns electorate with senior Liberals including the PM (Holt) being present. The Hawthorn Town Hall was packed and and fairly wild. Such gatherings would not be allowed now in our scripted world.
I later (’67?) heard Sir Wilfred speak at a church in Walpole st Kew on a Sunday afternoon. The topic “How goes peace in South East Asia” or similar. I recall his opening including something like “to tell you the truth Padre, it doesnt”.
I did not know Kent Hughes history particularly the WW2 imprisonment at that time and despite the politics of the day I later realised he was worthy of respect.
Perhaps this is why the Navy SEAL who helped kill bin Laden had this reaction to the Navy’s new drag-queen recruitment campaign: “I can’t believe I fought for this bulls–t.”
“The US Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us.”
It’s the stuff of my nightmares.
I no longer buy a bunnings snag.

Stan Grant is quite literally starting to sound like a dangerous fixated person:
Stan Grant got his dark sun tan from standing in front of those bright lights from the Alien Ship in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. That’s the ‘Rainbow Story’ anyway.
To paraphrase Rowan Atkinson – ‘Coronation *without* relief’ 😉
“Was that some deity, destiny, fate, or my own mind telling me that I am physically failing, as all living things must?”
Lizzie,
I have just spent an hour and a half moving potted plants into a spot near the house where they will be protected from frost. I felt good for a job well done, but I felt extremely grateful that I did not once fall.
Physically failing at any age blows big time. You are not on your own.
“Can you imagine retreaded UK or Canadian cops coming over here. ” Honestly they would probably be ok, well many of them. Trouble is I reckon Dan would struggle to attract many and start looking elsewhere, how about a heap of Chinese or Indian police coming here?
Re Canberra, there’s a small suburb there called Griffith, several years ago a semi with a new driver from the sub continent was sent from Barnawartha to Griffith the city to deliver to WW. Griffith rang to ask where their delivery was. Eventually the driver rang and said he was in Griffith but couldn’t find any WW supermarket, of course he was in the Canberra suburb. That’s what GPS and no knowledge does for you.
You lot went through the looking glass long ago.

Robert, I hope Anthropoligie go the same way as the Aussie company Seafolly. Remember a few weeks ago they decided to use an exceptionally ugly grik guy to model the swimsuits?
Even their backtracking and panicked PR campaign could not turn its fortunes around. The last I read, Seafolly was being bought for a bargain price by an overseas company. Karma.

EXCLUSIVE VIP guests at King Charles’ coronation including foreign royals and world leaders won’t be able to relieve themselves for three HOURS because Westminster Abbey toilets will be shut during service
To paraphrase Rowan Atkinson – ‘Coronation *without* relief’ ?
Should be a bit of comic relief. I will now watch more closely on TV for those who are twitching a little bit. Maybe Charlie Boy has his own ‘relief bag’ discretely hidden under those robes. Not too sure about Camilla though………………………….
On your Malmo fact finding mission monty, were there any trannies reading to the kidlets? If not, why not?
it would be interesting to know if in fact the trannies are required to have a wwc check
i’ll bet if they screamed about being marginalised and triggered by the wwc check it would be waived
there is no doubt anyone else doing the readings would have to have a clearance
i have seen roles with mere possible incidental contact with children requiring the check
Or to put it another way, most human beings are natural slaves, happy to worship their rulers and deify them.
The rulers are keen on this, too.
It’s my solution to the Fermi paradox: the aliens came, took one look at us, and went off in disgust. We are not an intelligent species.
A small number of us are intelligent, but not enough to matter.
Here’s the Seafolly sale story. They’re talking up the brand and not a mention of the ugly, hairy Grik.
He’s gone to the forgettary.
Including you of course dr bg
Sounds like uncharitable gossip to me.
There are indications, around and about, that he’d be Orthodox, like his paternal grandmother if he had his rathers.

Remember that piece of garbage who murdered his wife and children in Qld not so long ago? IIRC, he stabbed her then and set their car on fire with the kids in the back, who must have suffered excruciating deaths. I don’t recall loads of semi-sympathetic articles pondering what must have pushed him to that point – it was all White Ribbon, Rosie Batty and Teach Men Not To (Whatever).
Compare and contrast:
‘You don’t have to suffer anymore’: Why a mother became a murderer in a dusty town in WA’s north*
*headline from ABC News mobile app
don’t tell me
he turned left and took a dump in the hay truckstop on the way back

Defend them all you like, drag queens are (mostly) gay men mocking women in their hyper sexualised caricatures.
That’s the point of them.
Why they need to strut in from of children is beyond me, why other people think it’s okay to expose children to this kind of confused sexuality is further beyond me.
It’s ‘adult entertainment’.
The end.
Really? No other option but to kill her kids and then set the house their bodies were in? Well, why is she in prison in that case, as what else could she have possibly done?
