Cassie, like almost everyone here, I sympathise with your situation. But you’re getting caught up in hysteria. It doesn’t help.
No, I’m not, what I saw today in Sydney’s CBD would intimidate and scare any normal Australian.
Pull back and close down the emotions. You need a cool head and dispassionate assessments in these conditions.
I have a cool head, but again, what I saw today in Sydney’s CBD would intimidate and scare any normal Australian
The risk to you is actually small, at present, and the risk of the Nazis taking over is negligible. Nobody likes the buggers
Yeah nah, not liking the buggers means nothing when it comes to the rise of totalitarianism. And if you were to go back in time and ask a Russian in 1915, or a German Jew in 1930, or an Iranian in 1975 that within a few year’s time their countries would become dictatorships, they too would have laughed out loud.

Most respect .. but “But again, if only Fraser knew what was going to happen 40 years hence.” Fraser was was many things but an enginue .. not so much he wasn’t stupid… I dont know why he did it. But I could surmise he knew the ramifications.
I donate $30 a month to the Surf Life Savers. They had a stand out the front of the local shops one Saturday. Possibly Grand Final day when I was grabbing a box. Chick was super hot and on the level. Cancelled another charity that was international and probably a 90% scam. Keep charity close to home.
Yep. Rent-seeking on a grand scale. See the Adriatic, above, and up to the Gates of Vienna, or even earlier on, look at Charles Martel (the ‘Hammer’, still revered today) who repelled an Islamic invading Islamic force at Poitiers in the C7th and saved France for Christianity.
Any of the bush lawyers, on this blog, help out with this one?
Fraser didn’t have to be Shin Bet or Nostradamus to know it was a stupid idea to import Mohammedians to a Christian country, JC.
I think you will find significant Islamic immigration to Australia began under Gorton to alleviate labour shortages I assume. I certainly knew Turks and Lebanese Muslims who can here or their parents did c1970.
JC, throw that shovel out.
Get out of the hole.
You’re being silly.
Ratchet thinking. Click, click, click…
It looks to me like they have taken over. They are above the police, the law and governments. Physically, can do as they please. They can certainly do things white people cannot do without being shot at by SWAT teams.
But now we’ll redefine crisis and decide it isn’t so bad.
Which is exactly what led to this point… and on it goes.

But, but, but multicu*turalism is our strength, Cats …
As it never was. Yet another steroid laden distraction squirrel released to convince normies that the collectivist quislings selling us into NWO slavery are like, roolly roolly tops.
Until they aren’t and you don’t have a country anymore.
Especially if what is left of it is a very stupid, stupid one. 😡
C.L. – have noticed the “adjustment” many are making.
But many others are not. They notice what is happening & are starting – finally starting- to look at their options & what precautions to make for their families. Not a lot of them. But it is starting to happen.
Time, NewsWeek, The Economist ….
Yes, funny now, but back then seen as bearers of light and the mark of an informed and intelligent man.
I remember coming across The Spectator in the late seventies. More humour, more book reviews and better writing. Couldn’t stand New Statesman though shared its politics (stupid boy). I remember reading a great Max Harris poem ‘On Throwing a Copy of The New Statesman into the Coorong’ back then which helped turn me off it forever.
Some time ago I read an article about Islamic banking and conventions prevented them from the sort of arrangements that allowed major capital ventures. Only good for individual/family based enterprises.
The Ruffians are showing the Hobbits just how strong they are. And the Shirrifs are unable or unwilling to stop them.
They do, however, police The Rules thoroughly.
Meanwhile our Lothos and Wormtongues are making good political capital of it.
The parallels speak for themselves.
Why is that, Harry?
What’s silly is coming up with the envy ridden “apartment” comment and then accusing me of siding with depraved Islamic scum for suggesting Fraser didn’t have a crystal ball like you, Harry. Actually, it’s not silly, it’s behavioral impairment.

As shouted by anti semitic imbeciles (BIRM) stomping around recently in Sydneystan.
Yep, it never really went away, did it. 😡
My ol’ man and Rabbi Benson are spinning in their graves.
I have been housesitting for my sister who lives in the inner-west. This is why I had to get the train to the CBD and back today. This morning I went into the city early because there was a rally for Israel and the hostages to bring them home. The rally was held in the entertainment quarter of the old Sydney show ground (next to the SCG), which includes Fox Studios. This huge space is now privately owned which is why the rally was there. Now hear this, the first speaker from the Board of Deputies thanked the owners and administrators of the Entertainment Quarter space, and he then said that they had asked Sydney City Council (SCC) for approval to have a rally today in a more central CBD location, such as at Martin Place, which was where we had a rally two weeks ago but they were told by the SCC that they could not hold any such rally for at least a month. Hmmm….right….yet the Sydney City Council was happy to allow yet another Pallie Nazi protest march for the fourth or fifth time. These rallies are disrupting businesses in the CBD, and you can see the apprehension on people’s faces as they are walking around. Before I got to Park Street, which I described in my earlier comment, I walked passed the back entrance of the Great Synagogue on Castlereagh Street, and there were about six police officers guarding the back entrance (I’m sure there were more on the front entrance on Elizabeth Street). So, I stopped and I asked them if they were guarding the synagogue (I knew full well they were), and they said yes. To which I said, I’m walking to Town Hall and I’m fearful, they are screaming for genocide against Jews. And you want to know what one of the police officers said to me? He said to me, and I kid you not…
“you’ll be okay as long as you’re not wearing anything that identifies you as Jewish”.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Australia in 2023.
So, Dr BG, I’m not getting caught up in hysteria, I’m right to be upset, but more than being upset, I’m furious.
I watched “the adjustment” on Norwegians’ faces last night.
Muslim shriekers demanding this and that, screaming at the locals like demons. The locals averted their eyes and kept walking. The magic of the evening had fled.
The hope – this will be over soon. They will stop. They will go away. They will change. Don’t challenge them, don’t cause trouble, be “nice”.
They won’t and it won’t. It will get worse. When one demand is met, another will surely follow. And another after that.
It was documented in the briefs to Cabinet, since released under the 20 year rule. Dept of Immigration advised against rural Muslims after the Lebanon civil war due to low literacy and poor likelihood of successful integration into the wider Australian society. No hindsight involved or needed. They got it wrong.
Note: Old Ozzie- many thanks for your comprehensive articles on topics of the day. Very much appreciated.
Revenge is a dish best served cold- I think the disgusting intimidation and bullying along with the two-tiered policing has woken many up. Hopefully Dutton will pick up the ball and run with it. I’m beginning to suspect that One Nation is a spent force unless they sort out their petty squabbles.
Islam is a remarkable ideology. It augments and fosters the worst instincts of humankind; it is ultra tribalistic which means that one of the delusions in the West that islam is anti-West is incomplete: islam is tribalistic but if there were no West islam would fight vehemently among its different strands. Islam is the most misogynistic creed ever. Where islam is unfettered and does not have to play lip service woman are sex slaves and chattels. Sexual deviants are are murdered. All non-muslims are not worthy of life. In short nothing but the prevailing form of islam is allowed.
The entirety of islam is devoted to expansion and conquest. The methodology of this conquest, staged dependent on the numbers of muslims in the host country has been well described by Hammond and others. Islam is brilliant in playing the victims when in small numbers. This victimhood guarantees the support of the lunatic left and media which always takes its side no matter what atrocity it has committed; the current hamas/Israel war show this.
Perhaps islam’s most clever aspect is that it roboticises young men. Men in islam are unrelentingly indoctrinated with no other outlet except sacrifice for islam. Young islamic men will do anything, even kill themselves, if it means non muslims are murdered. Islam has promised these young men (and ironically young women) rewards after death. In this respect it is a formidable eschatological theology.
However I still think the fate of Australia will not be islamic. The chunks will not mind if our society is further ripped by the resident muslims. When the fan is covered in shit the chunks will take over and the vast inland deserts will be the chunk’s depository of the muslims, camels and goats.
Yes Police and the Prison System are not a back stop .

Rabz,
Powerline Blog don’t honour direct links to images, they block those.
All you can do is link to the web page (e.g. the most recent Week in Pictures) and then describe in like wordy texty words which picture we’re supposed to guffaw at.
First “headline of the week”… those Babylon Bee guys must be depressed at how often their jokes become true. One could argue they were funny because they were true on day 1, but it takes a while for the mainstream to admit it.
“All those who joined the jihadist rallies, come 2025, we will find you and we will deport you.”
Noice.
ABCcess is doing its usual “headline/click the link, and we change the headline after the click” trick.
Ist version of this was “Israelis bombing hospitals” and keeping them under siege.
Im wondering how you conduct a siege of a building if there is no resistance to its occupation. Its almost as if there is some detail about the siege they are leaving out.
But rest assured, there is skirmishing “around” the hospitals, but no terrorist scumbags inside. Apparently.
Cronks, you misspelled “idiotology”.
Kindly cease and desist, Squire.
Seconded !
And it will never be hegemonic until (at the very least, ignoring the many other varieties of Islam) one of Shia and Sunni has exterminated the other side. There can be only one.
We need to foment Shia/Sunni conflict, keep their minds elsewhere.

Dan Murphy’s observing a minutes silence on Remembrance Day.
Interesting.
Dan’s was at the forefront of pushing a “voluntary” Yes campaign in it’s stores, but pulled it after a staff/customer backlash.
I wonder if this is the first step in playing with a straight bat and returning to traditional observances.
I remember well in early 1980 at a meeting of the Sydney Catholic Historical society a missionary who had just returned from Lebanon asked if he may speak because he said it was important that we all know of what he had witnessed there. He was not the speaker that night as it was a Bishop. Fr Wilkinson did not hold back on what was going on in Lebanon. The Bishop’s speech paled against the Leb info.

Correct Bear but I think it was the 30 year rule- I remember discussing it with friends in 2006. Mate’s Dad- ‘looks as though Fraser was the problem’.
You have to adore the Harry Hindsighters, such as Barking Harry and Leadership.

If not, people may start to taunt you. And that may be upsetting. for you.
We wouldn’t like to see that would we?
CL
I disagree, although I’m mostly agreeable. 🙂
My take is that the wallopers are taking what they believe is the line of least resistance and hope that, in time, things will get back to normal. The line of least resistance is to show more tolerance for rabid Muslim intolerance because the cops are fearful that demonstrating hardcore resistance could result in nasty surprises like another Lindt.
Let’s face facts: Jews or Jewish supporters don’t behave that way. A Jewish dude angry at what happened on 7/10 is not going to head to Lakemba and shoot up the neighborhood. A mentally deranged muzzo may actually shoot up Vaucluse, Double Bay, or any of the other burbs where Jewish people live.
I’m not saying I agree with them because I believe it will leave a spark in terms of horrid behavior for another time, however I understand where they’re coming from. It’s not weakness, but just bad thinking.
WTF are these type of people doing in Scandinavian countries? It makes no sense. All just freeloading scum.

So you only read the first sentence.
Fraser himself may had admitted his error.
miltonf- quite possibly. I know they changed the rules at some point. Usually get released in the middle of the cricket when people aren’t at their sharpest.
A mentally deranged muzzo
A lot of redundancy there. BY normal Western standards, that is pre trannie and alphabet people, islam is psychotic.
Most folk in the West don’t get it: islam wants them dead or enslaved or converted; the are the only choices. Well they’re not choices: convert or die or be enslaved.
MY favourite idiots in the West are the queers for islam. It must e a piss take I thought at first. The beautiful young sheilas supporting the pallis are a close second. A photo of Shani Louk alive and dead should be tattooed on their pin heads.
Okay, but here’s something missing. Just because a bureaucracy gets one thing right, should it be believed every time? Fraser obviously got this wrong, but diverging from department advice isn’t one of them.
Snap (my comment at 1816).
Prior to the maritime Dutch getting going in the 1600s Islam largely facilitated the spice trade, either overland or short haul coastal shipping. Christian Europeans had no real idea where the most exotic stuff came from.
Interesting comment. Turks have been mostly well behaved I believe. Would Fraser have thought much different about Lebs? Probably not.

Indeed .. I dont think Fraser was stupid enough to believe that was benign .. something is very definitely missing..

But it didnt And I wonder why .. water under the bridge now …
Chris Minns introduces history’s first “safe” pogrom:
They’re monitoring kill-the-Jews rallies to make sure nobody says anything hateful.
Islam is the most misogynistic creed ever. Where islam is unfettered and does not have to play lip service woman are sex slaves and chattels.
Thank you – important to know. It won’t go away, we all need to discuss this.
But I’ve found it far more complex. Notice how many young muslim women are speakers at the various muz demos over the last few weeks. In my experience of over seven Islamic countries i.e following Sharia law, the women are the driving force of Islam.
The eldest son is the frontline enforcer and example for all the brothers. The many uncles are the finance and ideological backers. The daughters are the support structure ( and future breeders).
fun fact: jihadis are often named after their eldest son, part of the general trickery that the legal profession has to catch up on, e.g. Abdul Nacer Benbrika, also known as Abu Bakr ( father of Bakr)
Correct.
This was a tiny village with an ongoing rescue/recovery effort still underway.
The decision was taken to avoid distracting from that work.
This was the beginning of the “growing calls” phenomenon, where pressure from the media would force a reaction from Royals. I don’t think Betty 2.0 changed her plans at all, but the media re-wrote it as “we forced her to do it”.
This culminated three decades later in the Princess Diana post-mortem hysteria, which was exploited by not only the media, but Tony Blair.
Blair’s Republican agenda was only thinly disguised.
Fortunately, the Royals didn’t fall for it again when Ginge and Whinge ran their faux racism crisis.
Furious is much better. I’m severely pissed off too, and it takes a lot to do that.
If you look at the supporters of ‘Palestine’, you’ll note that a lot of them are brainless kids who are caught up in the latest thing, the current fashionable idiocy. People like m0nty. Shouting ‘from the river to the sea’ when you don’t know which river or which sea should get them laughed at. They are an ineffectual bunch of fatheads. Like m0nty.
The rest are Muslim fanatics. These I take seriously. I want them deported. I have the same sentiments as Donald Trump. Anyone shouting out ‘gas the jews’ or anything like it simply doesn’t belong in Australia. I think the great majority of Australians who are alive to the issue would feel the same. This isn’t free speech, this is incitement to murder.

Melbourne uni used to have a mature age club.
Good for those of us returning to study who didn’t want to hang out with teenagers.
Had a kitchen, armchairs, fridge, coffee and tea making facilities and a toilet next door. We threw luncheons every month with cheap plonk and otherwise just sat about gossiping.
One day in the mid nineties I came in and the toilet next to the club was pack jammed with jokers washing their feet in the sink.
Wasn’t long after that the uni turfed us out and gave the club room to them.

Nobody is saying that. The risks with Islam were well understood with the partition of Pakistan perhaps being the best illustration. Despite the extreme difficulties, clearly a number of people thought it was worth doing.
I’m supporting the youngsters that get out there and do the job. Hierarchy of every organisation has been saying Woke shit for the last 20 years. It is to be expected.
Well, hold the talky thingee, peoples … 😕
You’re old enough to remember. When Fraser made the decision, did you or did you read anything about the partition that warned against taking in lebs?
Bear, no one upon no one would’ve made the religious connection between pakis and lebs being Muzzos at the time Fraser made the decision. Even in the characterization of the departmental advice you cited, religion wasn’t part of it.

This is exactly what I’m seeing take place in the UK right now (bear with me, it applies here too). The result of yesterday’s protests is that the ‘problem’ of hundreds of thousand’s of protesters swarming the capital, bearing with them the real threat of actual violence against both the Jewish community and the the general population, has been swiftly redefined as the ‘problem’ of Far Right Wing Extremism.
The political concept of “pro-Palestinian mobs” has been significantly clicked away. Next click: police protection for mostly peaceful marchers peacefully chanting “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud”.

Out of all the hateful projections that millenial advertising creatives are inflicting on Australians, the National Australian Bank commercials make me laugh the loudest: the Chinese bank manager helping an imaginary blackfella small business owner and the non-existent West Indian chick driving an old Holden trying to foist credit on the gullible white gringoes.
Australian millenials are so predictable. They’ve never met anyone with a mortgage.
Re Arky’s comments on the changes in university life:
My university ended early in post grad years for various reasons. I actually thank the Lord for that. Years later I caught up with my old professor at a function & he lamented the changes. “Oh” I said, “You mean post-modernism?” He gasped. “That is the least of it!!!”
So… the beacon of the great intellectual accomplishments of the West is now a pathetic repository of hateful ideas and the gatekeeper of the quest for understanding and questioning.

Islamic culture was impressive in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Unfortunately the ‘two and seventy sects’ mentioned by Omar Khayyam reduced to much fewer and they took over. Fanatics are always a problem. They pretty much put a stop to progress in that part of the world.

The communist revolutions in Russia and China depended on the faithful Marxists. They had faith in Karl Marx. And made huge sacrifices for their faith.
If you talk to Marxists it is painfully obvious that they are people of deep and utterly irrational faith.
When you read Taleb it is clear much of his thinking is influenced by fleeing Lebanon in the 70s. Not really surprising in a lot of ways. A lot of his research has dealt with patterns in the wider Mediterranean region beyond finance.

as I i hadnt already have enough reason to despise Gough … Him calling the Vietnaneese reffos … discontented Balts or what ever it was … was just more dirt on the coffin ..
I worked with those people .. I heard their stories. One of them once saved my LifeI visited VN a few years ago … to the likes of Gough it was all Political Theory and go stick reality ..
the earth btw, is not a sphere
it’s an oblate spheroid
If the 16th century spice trade is the only contribution made by muslims people can come up with.
The spice trade was doing fine, until the muzzies managed to conquer most of the overland routes from India (via Byzantium/Constantinople).
So no, they dont get credit for that.
They have more claim to have cause the discovery of the Americas by the Spanish/Portuguese and Euro nations trying to find a way to break the Muzzie monopoly on the trade.
The ideology of multiculturalism did not develop in response to the arrival of large groups of immigrants into European societies during the 20th century. Rather, it is a product of the European political establishments’ growing crisis of legitimacy after the Second World War.

It’s interesting, reading what’s been written today, with access to the North Vietnamese archives, and realizing just how completely they fooled the “young, idealistic, gullible, and totally uninformed.”
That’s a fine ironic track, since she escaped East Germany. I doubt she really much liked the Soviet Union.
Respect: she voiced the witch Yubaba in Spirited Away, in the German Version. That would’ve been perfect casting!

Then cut the weekly protests, Chris. It’s not rocket science.
While you are at it, authorise the cops to leave Extinction Rebellion protesters glued up in Museums for up to 24 hours. If the judiciary won’t send them to prison, then the police should be able to act with this simple deterent. They can’t find the solvent, so sad, but they’ve sent interstate for it. No food, only water, and poo in your pants till it arrives, you entitled little kiddies.

The Intellectual Yet Idiot is a production of modernity hence has been accelerating since the mid twentieth century, to reach its local supremum today, along with the broad category of people without skin-in-the-game who have been invading many walks of life. Why? Simply, in most countries, the government’s role is between five and ten times what it was a century ago (expressed in percentage of GDP). The IYI seems ubiquitous in our lives but is still a small minority and is rarely seen outside specialized outlets, think tanks, the media, and universities — most people have proper jobs and there are not many openings for the IYI.
…
The IYI has been wrong, historically, on Stalinism, Maoism, GMOs, Iraq, Libya, Syria, lobotomies, urban planning, low carbohydrate diets, gym machines, behaviorism, transfats, freudianism, portfolio theory, linear regression, Gaussianism, Salafism, dynamic stochastic equilibrium modeling, housing projects, selfish gene, election forecasting models, Bernie Madoff (pre-blowup) and p-values. But he is convinced that his current position is right.
Why was there never a band that named itself after Fraser’s pantsless moment of fame?
I knew Lebanese who came here before I moved into our home in the mid 1960s.
They owned the ‘corner shop’. No idea how long they had been here or their religion.
Great people though. Not knowing anyone in the district or the surronds at that time they felt like friends.
I know of no link to Sir John Gorton re immigration of Lebanese.

The most interesting conspiracy theory, regarding Fraser’s trousers, was that he had been the victim of agents of the notorious South African Bureau of State Security, in reprisal for his stand against apartheid….
Indeed it is. Thinking about that, I might recommend toHairy a rewatch of some of it tonite. Need some real entertainment and Norsemen is just that; a spoof on Viking life.

Anyone else see the brief clip on today’s Outsiders showing pro-Paly demonstraters marching down a city street?
One of them was a fair-haired young white woman (obviously no Paly, or even of ME descent) with a megaphone, yelling out “There is only one solution!”
The inference was pretty obvious.

Cassie – it’s disgraceful you no longer feel safe in Sydney. I’m no longer proud to live in Melbourne for different but similar reasons. There has been a heartbreaking breakdown in institutions who have blown their inheritance for nothing but fashionable approvals at the right dinner parties. That our foreign minister backs a cease fire strategy which only emboldens baby roasters makes me fearful we won’t find our way back. On the upside: every single non-Muslim menacing leftist who attends those Free Palestine marchers would have attended the Yes rallies: ie Australians broadly reject that crowd and I hope the ALP get rejected for generations for breaking bread with them.

Probably Hitler’s illegitimate great-granddaughter.
There were big changes to immigration entry criteria in 1967 iirc. That would have been under Holt of course. I think also the entry of Italy and (later?) Greece into the then EEC caused a ‘drying up’ of migrants from those countries.
Yeah there was shit in Newfoundland that showed Vikings got there.

I read some account ..wanna say it was NYT .. but it might not have been ..about some violent dust up in the twenties. The Reporters said what they had acutally seen ..then went on to report what the various parties involved had to say for them selves… just the facts M’aam … like a cold shower.
It was astonishing .. but probably what people in the 20s expected , and got from the Media.
Not now Mark, I’m in the middle of Kashmir that Rabz put up, with food breaks for wildlife. I had a brushtail nibbling my leftmost toe just now, on my porch, but after a bribe of a carrot she stopped.
Breakfast time was fun, a cockie landed on my head. I reached up and handed it a bit of bread, but it couldn’t balance on one foot on my noggin well enough to free the other foot to hold onto the bread, so dropped its prize. I was able to get the cockie to transfer to the fence before any permanent damage was done, then picked up the bread and handed it back.
Can’t think of a track that goes with all this though.

With people of the ‘Right’, there is no such behaviour. Only thing we all agree on is that we aren’t Leftoid, Green or Islam. Hard to coalesce a force. Like herding cats etc.

We know, as atheists, that they care nought for songlines and privately think it’s gibberish on stilts.
For certain, they don’t care about whales, or wind tubines for that matter. They only care about themselves, but as sociopaths, they know people care about other things, so they pretend they care about those things too. We knoe better.

Merely Sniping ??? Oh you sell yourself short … !! You deploy far nastier means of communication and count yourself proud to have done so … Shame on You !!
No. You haven’t. In fact you have absolutely no freaking clue how many civilians have been killed. What you have are claims from the Hamas propaganda arm.
So how many Hamas fighters have been killed in Gaza so far? Or have all the casualties been ‘civilians’? You don’t know? Why do you think that is?
Really? Exactly WHAT is happening with medical facilities in Gaza and where did you acquire this information? Can you provide us any evidence of the validity of this information? Without regurgitating Hamas claims that is.
So now the really tough questions. Why are you, as a representative of the nation, repeating Hamas propaganda claims as fact? What does that say about you, and by implication the people of Australia?
Dot we can make this right with an apology … I know where you have been and understand the anger… but there is a way out of this.
Well, there was the slave trade too. Not to be sneezed at.
There’s not an atom that’s decent about Comey. Trump should’ve fired him on the very first day in office.
