Australian Conservative Monthly – War, Famine, Pestilence, Elections

 

Part Two - Post COVID Roundup and 'Who Dares to be a Christian?

 

Welcome dear reader,

This will be the last Australian Conservative before Christmas due to work pressures. Let’s take a pause and reflect on the last three years. See here for back issues.

Currently my family are eating the food we stored two years ago because at that time we did not know whether we would be allowed into shops to purchase any. That wasn’t crazy. Australia generally follows the US and Britain in public policy. At that time policy makers and social commentators on both sides of the Atlantic were suggesting that “unvaccinated” persons should not be allowed in shops or public spaces, or should be confined to their homes even if that meant starvation, or should be locked in internment camps. These voices came from both sides of politics. Even self-proclaimed libertarian intellectual Noam Chomsky advocated forcing the unvaccinated to starve at home. In China, apartment blocks were welded shut with the residents inside who were then left to starve. Some jumped. In Australia it was suggested that “unvaccinated” persons should not be allowed to own or register an Australian Business Number or Tax File Number. They would be essentially exiled from society.

Families split over attending family events. Church leaders took it upon themselves to enforce government mandates, and split churches. Those leaders who resisted were often persecuted. Australian governments did in fact build internment camps, and in the Northern Territory some Indigenous people were forcibly rounded up and interred. Yes, that happened.

This was one of many red flags. Here are some others:

·         Governments around the world signed secret agreements with the vaccine manufacturers without Parliamentary approval or oversight.

·         These agreements included obligatory percentages of the population to be jabbed. What penalty clauses were included is not known to me but are reported to include seizure of national assets i.e. forced privatization.

·         As a condition of supply, governments were obliged to provide statutory immunity for the jab manufacturer i.e. the manufacturer cannot be sued.

·         The contents of the Pfizer jab were subjected to a 75 year secrecy order. (I don’t know what secrecy arrangement pertained to the other vaccines).

·         Proven effective treatments such as Ivermectin were banned, then conveniently unbanned after vaccination targets were reached.

·         The safety/testing data was either non-existent or not disclosed to national health authorities.

·         National health authorities imposed mandatory vaccination despite the safety/testing data being non-existent or not disclosed.

·         Major world media outlets signed an agreement to suspend journalism and only promote the ‘pro vax’ narrative.

·         Military psychological operations were used against domestic populations to counter ‘vaccine hesitancy’.

·         Moral, medical, legal and political norms were suspended.

·         The Australian Constitution was violated.

·         The Nuremberg Code was breached.

·         There were egregious breaches of human rights.

·         While proclaiming the vaccine ‘safe effective and free’ national governments also set up vaccine injury compensation schemes.

·         Health authorities stated that the jab would stop you contracting COVID. Then at the same time, said that you could die from coming into contact with COVID if an unvaccinated person had it.

·         Our entire COVID lockdown policy proceeded on the basis of that total illogicality.

·         While the media-government-medical-pharma complex hammered on everyone to ‘follow the science’, those scientists and medical professionals who had a different opinion on the science were censored, silenced, threatened, and in some cases had their careers destroyed.

·         These included world leading medical experts (see previous issues).

·         Our economy, medical, and educational systems have yet to recover as thousands of professionals were thrown out of work for refusing that jab.

·         The last three years have seen the greatest transfer of wealth and power in human history outside the Communist block. This passed without note or censure by both sides of politics including the radical Left.

·         All of this was supposedly to stop what turned out to be little more than a bad seasonal flu.

·         The US FDA meanwhile has decided that vaccines do not have to prevent contraction or transmission of a disease.

We must never forget this.

Let me say plainly, that whether you took the jab or not, you did so for the right reasons. You did so to protect your and others’ health, to protect your loved ones, to provide for your family, because you trusted the experts, because you believed it to be the right thing to do. Everyone who refused the jab or took the jab, did so for the same reasons. There is no reason we cannot be friends.

For that reason we must never forget that vaccinated and unvaccinated marched together in our streets in the hundreds of thousands to protest lockdown and forced vaccination. We must also never forget that the media downplayed or refused to cover the marches. Victoria police even sought a restraint order to prevent the marches being filmed from the air.

Over half a million people, many of them made bankrupt and made desperate by some of the world’s harshest lockdown policies, converged on Parliament House in Canberra. The response by the authorities is instructive. Both the (then) Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader (now Prime Minister) told them dismissively to go home. Neither would meet with them. Police used directed energy weapons and jamming – military technologies normally used against foreign States – against protestors. In Victoria peaceful marchers were gratuitously shot with rubber bullets and beaten.

In the subsequent national election both major parties agreed to swap preferences with each other against freedom party candidates thus proving themselves to be a Uni-party. This came on the back of the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) waging a quiet undeclared bureaucratic warfare against conservative or libertarian mico-parties in the lead up to the election. I know this through personal involvement and contacts. Nevertheless, the national election saw half a dozen credible freedom parties field candidates. The AEC outsourced the conduct of the election to a private company. That company provided false advice to the Australian public that if a minor party candidate did not make a quota that vote is wasted and would not flow to preferences. Perhaps 30 per cent of the Australian public who may have voted for a freedom party, believing a vote for a freedom candidate to be a wasted vote, stead voted for the majors. Having been kicked in the face, the Australian public returned like a beaten down battered wife, to their abusive husband. In France the election was simply stolen.

In Australia, as a double insurance against a popular vote against the Uni-Party, the AEC is now considering reducing paper ballots in favour of the Dominion voting system. It was precisely that system that allegedly allowed the US Presidential election to be stolen since it allows anyone with administrator access to move votes around. Dominion was built from the ground up to facilitate election interference.

So what has happened since?

The jabbed are dropping dead and becoming injured in large numbers (see for example here), few of which make it onto any official lists. There is national class action brought by a young medical doctor. The background to this action is a genuinely interesting human story. Watch and listen here.

While experts continue to argue about numbers, morticians are run off their feet and finding truly strange and horrifying things in the bodies of the jabbed. See full documentary here. For a fairly straightforward explanation see here. This is now confirmed by over one thousand scientific studies.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics ‘all cause mortality’ is up 16 per cent or roughly a Port Arthur massacre per week equivalent. Some of this is, rightly or wrongly, attributed to COVID. The balance is a mystery….. This has not exactly been headline news. Here is Monica Smitt taking these findings to the public. Monica was arrested on spurious charges, strip searched and spent 22 days in solitary confinement. Those charges have just now been dropped.

The UK is reporting similar figures which for them means a Twin Towers every week equivalent mortality. Over thirty thousand Britains are now dead with no credible official explanation. See Dr Campbell on the UK health data.

Even more concerning, preliminary data shows a 60+ per cent drop in live births in Australia. There are similar findings in the UK and USA. Whether this is a temporary phenomenon or a national or global genocide remains to be seen.

Meanwhile some clever lawyers in the US, (that great land of lawyers) have obtained most of the Pfizer data that was previously subject to a 75 year secrecy order. It is a vast trove of documentation but there is a team of citizen scientists working through it. Their findings confirm the worst fears of the ‘conspiracy theorists’. Feminist author Naomi Wolf explains here. 

Meanwhile COVID has behaved exactly as I predicted in late 2019. Like all highly contagious respiratory diseases it has gone through the population, flattened the curve, mutated, become less dangerous, and is now an endemic seasonal flu. I sincerely hope that somewhere in all this the jab has at least saved some old people, but I have seen no evidence to that effect. What I do know is that the elderly are killed in large numbers each and every year by flu viruses, but in the US in recent times all of those deaths were written up as COVID.

How did this all happen? Is it all just coincidence? Is normal corruption and incompetence a sufficient explanation? Did someone declare war on us? This documentary puts together the ‘coincidences’ around COVID. Decide for yourself.


One thing we do not have to speculate about is the World Health Organisation (WHO) pandemic treaty power grab that is currently being negotiated. The treaty commits national governments to automatically follow any ‘health’ measures dictated by the WHO in the event the WHO declares a pandemic. On the face of it that may seem reasonable, but let’s just look a little closer. In the UK there has been a Parliamentary debate. This from Dr Campbell.

During COVID the WHO altered the definition of ‘pandemic’ from a widespread disease, causing illness and death’ to a ‘wide spread disease’. That means every flu season could be declared a pandemic. The WHO is headed by a former Communist dictator and is largely funded by Bill Gates and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP are committed to ‘5th generation unconventional warfare’. That is a big topic but it includes biowarfare and economic sabotage. So the WHO pandemic treaty would likely give the CCP plenary power to simply shut down Western world economies at will and imprison us in our homes. Of course that would depend on the cooperation of the signatory States, but presumably they wouldn’t sign unless they were willing to cooperate. In Australia, Daniel Andrews enjoys a close relationship with the CCP committing Victoria to the Chinese ‘Belt and Road’ initiative. On communist penetration of political parties and institutions see Trevor Loudon who has been working in that space since the 1970s.


There is also talk of a global (read Chinese) United Nations army to enforce stuff like this  Both sides of politics in Australia, Canada and New Zealand lined up to sign the treaty. Without public debate. Without Parliamentary discussion or approval. The treaty was stopped by African countries who, under pressure from the church, made a stand. It is similarly African countries who, under pressure from the church, are resisting the new colonialism of UN sponsored ‘comprehensive sexuality education’. This month the WHO is trying to get the pandemic treaty up again. Sooo….Christians….

 

Christians in the Cross Hairs

Christians form the core of the resistance to the advance of totalitarianism in its various guises. They are the core of the freedom movement just as they were and are in communist countries. It is natural therefore that those who subscribe to communist ideologies of various sorts would seek to eliminate Christians. Eliminating an ‘undesirable’ group – Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, whoever – always begins with labelling and dehumanising, and this begins with language. In the 1930’s Jews, like the un-jabbed today, were labelled dirty, morally suspect, not really citizens ‘like us’ but ‘other’ and a risk to public health. It was this social conditioning that made the holocaust possible.

Christians are now labelled as various ‘phobes’ – transphobes, homophobes etc; probably domestic terrorists, anti-science, far right, Nazis, and so forth. This labelling is intended to create the social conditions for public violence and State repressive measures. In that context the culture war just went kinetic when a self-described trans woman entered a private Christian school and murdered three young children including the little girl pictured with her Daddy, and three adults, in cold blood before armed police gunned her down. By way of background, the trans movement teaches confused and impressionable young people that by refusing to recognise their trans identity, Christians are committing a ‘genocide’ of tans people. It is a very small step to then justify actual violence against Christians. All of this craziness and hate does actually translate into policy and policies have real consequences, one of which is institutional rape.

This little girl was shot dead by a trans activist who intered a private Christian school

School massacres are unfortunately a feature of life in the USA. Perpetrators come from mixed ethnic, sexual, religious, political and ideological backgrounds. There is very little pattern. However what is instructive here are the public responses from the Left which included further call for violence against ‘transphobes’, and complaints that the reporting misgendered the offender. The FBI meanwhile is keeping the shooter’s manifesto secret. One wonders why. Here is Peterson on transgenderism. This five year olds explanation that actually makes sense is delightful.

Of course that would never happen here….

What has happened here is an official declaration of war by Queensland police against practicing Christians. NSW police followed suit. As idiotic as that all is, it serves a purpose.

There are belief systems that do lead to violence. Karl Marx wrote candidly about abolishing, through violence, every Western country, the church and the family. These were not mere words. Countless millions died in consequence. Roz Ward, co-author of the 'Safe Schools (sic) Program' is a Communist and is on record as saying the hammer and sickle should fly over the Vic Parliament. Ward is also on record saying that Safe Schools is not about bullying but about abolishing gender in order to destroy the family in order to destroy capitalism because "we have to control everything to make it fair for everyone". Black Lives Matter is a Marxist domestic terrorist movement. There are Muslims who preach the overthrow of Western civilisation and democracy (not all do). ANTIFA et al also seek the overthrow of Western civilisation and democracy.

So why pick on Christians? I guess it’s easy when Christians are a soft target and just can’t accept that no matter how nice they are they will be hated, but I suspect the real reason is that a minority of Christians continue to resist tyranny. In Britain meanwhile, prayer is now a thought crime.

Freedom in the Land of the Free

While the narrative on the ‘January 6 insurrection’ (sic) has been tightly controlled defence lawyers finally managed to access some of the CCTV footage. Let’s just say it doesn’t support the narrative. Did I mention that Tucker Carlson aired this footage? Yeah, he just lost his job. Seems to have been a wake-up call. As the highest paid and most popular talk show host in history, these are his comments.  Meanwhile an album of Jan 6 prisoners has reached number #1 while Natasha Owens song ‘Trump won and you know it’ is topping charts.

Some editions ago I mentioned Millicent Weaver who was arrested in 2020 on spurious charges shortly after releasing a home-made documentary ‘Shadow Gate’. See the documentary here: SHADOW GATE – FULL FILM by Millie Weaver - 2020 (rumble.com)  Since then charges have been dropped and Weaver released a sequel SHADOWGATE 2 MILLIE WEAVER - MY HIGHLIGHTS PT.1 - THE SMITH-MUNDT ACT AND DEEP STATE PROPAGANDA (rumble.com) and another documentary on Big Data: Big Data Is Watching - Full Length Documentary. Millie Weaver 2023 (rumble.com)  Watch for yourself and draw your own conclusions. As an intellectual exercise it can be fun to compare reporting by outlets such as the New York Times or Washington Post who frequently cite ‘anonymous sources’ or ‘sources within the intelligence community’, with home made documentaries such as this. Which have the more reliable sources over all? For comedic relief see here.



Of course, there is more. Heaps more. This is how civilisations in the fourth stage of Yuri Besmenov’s stages of demoralisation look. None of this is new, as Putin was at pains to remind the representatives of 183 nations gathered in Russia at the Valdai Economic Forum.


The Sane in the Asylum

Sanity in the West today is now a counter-cultural choice. Those wishing to maintain it had best find or build a supportive community. Freedom groups are springing up all over the country. They do not generally advertise and membership is by invitation. Leave your smart devices in the car. It isn’t going to get better any time soon. Now is the time to build the necessary human networks and learn the skills to resist totalitarianism long term. There are no easy answers.

 

 

In Australia, formal NGOs which show a capacity for critical thinking and evidence of sanity include:

Binary Australia

Advance Australia

Turning Point Australia

Reignite Democracy Australia

The Light newspaper

Graham Hood – Club Grubbery

One Nation

The Australian Christian Lobby

Cauldron Pool

Canberra Declaration

Red Union

The Christopher Dawson Centre for Cultural Studies

That is not to say that I personally endorse everything they say or do, only that they are operating on a basis of reason.

 

The World at War (Again)

After Putin launched the worlds most provoked invasion over 14 months ago the war has now descended into a declared proxi war between NATO and the Russian Federation, a fact now openly acknowledged by both sides.

The Western MSM is in full war propaganda mode trying to convince us that the Russians are hopeless, their country is on the ropes, and the Ukrainians are about to be victorious. Wherever you ‘stand’ this lying is both pathetic and dangerous.

For the record, the Russian Federation has so far destroyed two armies. Ukraine began the war with an army of 400,000 men trained to NATO standards and very well equipped. That army was defeated in the first months of the war and Ukraine was forced to the negotiating table. At that point Boris Johnson intervened publicly and told Zelenski that he was not allowed to negotiate. Ukraine then launched a recruitment drive and NATO re-equipped the Ukrainian army with ex-Soviet hardware from Eastern Europe plus HIMARS and other top tier Western equipment – billions of dollars worth of military aid. That second army re-captured a lot of farm land in the northern sector of the front but could not penetrate Russian defensive lines and has since been largely destroyed.

NATO has now built a third army equipped with Western arms. That army includes numerous foreign fighters and men literally picked up off the street and forced into uniform. Ukraine is now about to launch an offensive if only to prove that the billions of dollars invested by Western tax payers hasn’t been wasted. I predict the total destruction of the third army in the next 6 months. German tanks will once again burn on the steppes of Ukraine. The West will then have a clear choice – actually declare war on Russia, or admit defeat and go home. Right now the war has to all intents and purposes gone nuclear while Ukraine threatens Europe with terrorism.

This is the best source I have found for a clear view on the conflict.

For people with an interest in military matters, including such nonsense as Russian soldiers attacking with shovels, this source is both entertaining and well researched.

Meanwhile internal repression within Ukraine continues. The Zelenski regime has shut down all political opposition and has targeted the Orthodox church for repression. Famous foreign national Gonzolo Lira was recently arrested for stating literal historical truths about the conflict. Speaking the truth, or speaking Russian, is treason in Ukraine. There is no freedom in that country.

Meanwhile the US and its allies are becoming increasingly isolated. 183 nations attended the Valdai world economic forum eager to do business with Russia whose exports have increased under sanctions. That has happened because the US has clearly signalled to the world that if US internal politics dictate that a nation or its leader fall out of favour, then the US will steal its gold reserves, it’s assets, sanction its economy, cut it off from the global financial system, and start wars on its borders. Faced with that reality, middle power nations are quite sensibly taking their business elsewhere.

While the physical fighting is going on in Ukraine the economic war is now global. In that context let’s just say that the world’s most significant events were not reported in the West. See one example here. Nevertheless there are honourable exceptions.


Concluding Words

I would wish that this edition was more upbeat. It has been a traumatic few years. I spent two of those years developing an online resource for trauma healing call ‘Trauma Life Recovery’. It is available at www.traumaliferecovery.com.au

 


There are two companion facebook pages. A general community page: https://www.facebook.com/TraumaLifeRecovery

And a page specifically for those traumatised by policies around COVID: https://www.facebook.com/TraumaUnvaxxed/

We can at least still use humour to help free those well meaning souls who are trapped in the matrix. Totalitarians hate being laughed at…so laugh at them and make them small; because they are small.

 


The Sealed Section (for God Botherers and the Curious)

To everything there is a time

In breaking news the Devil has quietly retired. Read all about it here.

Meanwhile this might help you come out to your liberal parents.

...and for some straight forward comedy

The following is taken directlys from the Christopher Dawson Centre:

KING CHARLES'S SPIRITUALITY 

Monarchy Re-enchanted, by Francis Young, intriguingly argues the rite of Coronation is deeply respectful of Christian tradition:  'The new processional cross contains a relic of the True Cross given to the King by the Pope; the holy oil for the King’s anointing has been consecrated in Jerusalem. Furthermore, the King has insisted that his anointing, the holiest moment of the ceremony, be entirely hidden by a specially designed screen adorned with words of the mediaeval mystic Julian of Norwich.' 

 

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN NIGERIA 

According to this article from Nigeria 52,000 Christians and 34,000 Muslims have been murdered in that country since the radical Islamic uprising began in 2009. 

 

...BUT DON'T GIVE UP ON AFRICA 

This more positive piece by a Kenyan writer, Mathew Otieno, helps put out thinking in perspective.  He concludes provocatively:  'if we were to despair for the future of any part of the world, we would do well to focus on the countries of the ageing and sclerotic First World. Unlike Africa, they may not have a future at all if they fail to reproduce themselves.' 

 

LOOKING BACK ON THE COVID NIGHTMARE 

The West's flaccid and subservient mainstream media plumbed new depths during the pandemic, when non-compliant opinions about the disease itself or the consequences of isolation were either suppressed or labelled 'misinformation'.  This article from Scarrablog carefully exposes much of what went wrong, lavishing special praise on The Australian's Adam Creighton, a brave man who has suffered for his opinions.   

 

CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE 

Australia faces a possible constitutional change later this year when we shall be asked to approve The Voice, a modification to our foundational document that will not only formally recognise the first occupiers of our continent, but establish a special body to represent their interests.  The Dawson Centre takes no position on this question, but here's a piece in favour by distinguished ethicist Prof Margaret Somerville, and another here.  But an alternative view comes from aboriginal Senator Jacinta Price here.   

 

Regardless of what position one takes, all proposed changes to the constitution deserve and demand deep consideration.  Hearts can be broken, no matter what side prevails, and there are always unforeseen and unintended consequences.   Tinkering with a constitution is a very serious matter.  Here's Lord Macaulay, in 1857 - three years before the election that ensured the American Civil War - writing to an American biographer of Jefferson, H S Randall. Was he prophetic or what? 

 

'There is nothing to stay you. Your Constitution is all sail and no anchor. As I said before, when a society has entered on this downward progress, either civilization or liberty must perish. Either some Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with a strong hand; or your Republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire was in the fifth; with this difference, that the Huns and Vandals, who ravaged the Roman Empire, came from without, and that your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your country by your own institutions.' 

 

'LET'S MAKE SANITY COOL AGAIN' 

This ironic little piece by Russian-English commentator Konstantin Kisin finds common ground between decent men and women of both the Left and the Right. 

 

PLATO AND ARISTOTLE IN CHINA 

This recent article by David Schaefer reviews a new book by University of Chicago classicist Shadi Bartsch, and carefully analyses the surprising incorporation of classical philosophical ideas into contemporary Chinese political theory. 

 

ROGER SCRUTON ON NATIONAL IDENTITY 

The late Sir Roger Scruton kindly consented to join the Dawson Centre's International Advisory Board shortly after our establishment ten years ago.  This article by Adrian Wooldridge is unfortunately available to subscribers only, but it's a good read and may tempt you...
