Australian Conservative Monthly - May the fourth be with us edition


 

What’s Been Happening this Month



Testing Times in Tasmania


Tasmania is famous for being left off the map, but while Eden is considered a 'bell weather electorate' many of the big shifts have occurred in the 'Apple Isle'. Australia's first Casino, the Franklin Dam imbroglio, Bob Brown and the Greens, some great cricketers, and a third of the world's legal opium production, are some things made in Tasmania.

The Tasmanian Liberal State Government called and won a snap election in April/May. It is notable that the Liberals under two Premiers have done little to arrest the drift to the radical Left in social policy. Radical transgender laws, ‘Safe Schools’, suppression of dissent against the abortion industry, a dodgy and rushed euthanasia law, proposal to punish anyone for attempting to help anyone struggling with same sex attractionare just some of the ‘reforms’ that have passed the Tasmanian Parliament or are currently proposed. In the end, it is the currents of culture that determine the path of politicians, rather than any guiding moral star.


ABC Watch

I appreciate the ABC for many things but their coverage of a number of issues has become increasingly skewed in recent years. It is the job of journalists to report the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to politics, and to do so without fear or favour. During the Trump Presidency however, every commentary published by the ABC in relation to the Presidency was written by a Democrat or Democrat aligned person. That would be the equivalent of the ABC only publishing opinion pieces on Biden that are written by paleo conservatives or Republican staffers. That hardly counts for journalism and is underserving of public funds.


Dinner in Hobart: Mr David Daintree (Order of Australia) representing the Christopher Dawson Centre. His Grace, the Archbishop Julian Porteous, Sophie York (Barrister and Speaker), Senator Abetz, yours-truly, and my wife Jennifer (an educator). People you meet in Hobart!

Organisation/Campaign Profiles


As new scandals continually come to light and sexual deviants continue to find ways to access the minds and bodies of our children, one organisation is pushing back. BiNARY affirms the fact that there are two genders (male and female). BiNARY exists to challenge the aggressive agenda to de-gender our society in the areas of education, health, military, business, politics and the law. This includes keeping biological males out of women’s sports and change rooms, supporting people who speak up, and exposing the lies of the transgender lobby. Join BiNARY and support their campaigns!


Think Local, Act Global


It is a truism that nothing happens by accident. The forces that are tearing at the social fabric in Australia are global, originated in Europe in the 1930’s, and are now pushed aggressively by organisations domiciled in the United States. It is very difficult for small Western countries like Australia to stand against the tide. Therefore, we need to take our place in the global struggle. There is a European based global organisation that is fighting back in the United Nations and around the world. CitizenGo has been chalking up victories pushing back against the more extreme proposals from the LGBT, trans, and abortion lobbies. The fact that they face frequent massive cyber attacks of the kind and complexity that require the cooperation of nation states, or at least well funded cyber crime syndicates, is proof of their effectiveness. Watch their intro and support CitizenGo.  


Meanwhile I am pleased to report that in California 
real feminism is not dead. Unsurprisingly this group has received death threats, but they look pretty OK to me.





Get Smart(er)! - alternative news and information


In a world where half a dozen corporations control nearly all of the English language news media, getting a grip on reality requires courage and research. One place to look is a thousand year old Orthodox Christian civilisation - Russia. According to Liberal elites Russia is 'Putin Land', a 'gas stations masquerading as a country'. For 150 million Russians, it is their homeland; a land where Christian Orthodoxy was the prevailing cultural force for centuries before Putin, Communism, or anything else. There should be perhaps twice as many Russians but the October revolution of 1917 and the subsequent nightmare of Communism, the Soviet Union, and social and economic collapse, has arguably halved Russia's population. It has also inoculated Russian society against what they now consider 'the Western virus' of cultural Marxist ideology. That makes the Russian Government and blogger sphere an interesting alternative information source.

In contra-distinction to the West, the Russian government promotes marriage and sexual responsibility through the school system and is seeking constitutional amendments to, among other things, prohibit homosexual adoption. This government sponsored video really sums it up.


COVID Report


It is an understatement to say that the WuFlu has given governments and corporate oligarchs a looked for excuse to roll back freedom and take direct control of our lives. Be that as it may, we still have to grapple with the medical realities of a nasty bug circulating around the world. Many conservatives are over 50 and it is reasonable to be concerned. 

Should we vaccinate? Are there alternatives? What voices should we listen to? 

Can we trust Scomo? 

Our obligation always is to take responsibility for our own health and for our own sources of expert information. With that in mind I have attached a statement from Frontline Doctors regarding vaccines, alternatives, and current policy settings. Please also consider the work of medical professionals united under the Great Barrington Declaration.



Film/Book Review


Towards a Soviet America is a book everyone should read. Written in 1932 it sets out in detail the Communist plan for a Soviet America, their targets, and their strategy, particularly their intention to dissolve or co-opt all the independent civic institutions. 


Yuri Bezmenov was a KGB expert in cultural subversion working in India during the cold war. He defected, adopted the name Thomas Schuman, and eventually went public with a seminal lecture on how societies progress through different stages of demoralisation until they finally fall. At that stage they transition to a soviet dictatorship. While 
this lecture was given in 1984 it explains exactly where we are today and why. It is worth persevering with the poor quality reproduction. 

 

Quote of the Month


You shall know the truth

and the truth shall set you free

but first it shall scare the bejingles out of you

and piss you off!

 

The Sealed Section (for God Botherers and the Curious) 


To everything there is a time… It is time to farewell Graham McDonald, a pioneering educator who brought a much needed perspective on Australia’s real cultural heritage. I had the privilege of meeting Graham two years ago. He will be missed, but catch up on some highlights and learn more of the untold history of Australia here.

Continuing Graham’s legacy, keep an eye on:
