Star Wars on the Streets By Chris Knight

     Antifa must have a few science students on board, as they are using lasers to attack the eyes of police. Thus, this leads to an electromagnetic arms race, so now the authorities are literally cooking antifa. What does roasted antifa taste like? Unquestionably, pretty terrible.

“A Portland man has been indicted by a grand jury for an attack on a police officer using a high powered laser during protests last month. 36-year old Bryan Kelley allegedly pointed a laser into an officer's eyes that so powerful it can cause permanent blindness, and possibly strong enough to burn through clothing and protective equipment. Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt described the laser as “so powerful that it would burn through paper and cause dry material to catch fire.”

Warnings of Economic Collapse By James Reed

     I am in fear and trembling about writing about economics since I always get it wrong, you know, I think that national and personal debt is a problem, but that is conventional thinking. Ok, I plead ignorance. But, there are a lot of other ignorant people out there that are worried, so this might be of interest, although the experts might want to move on going back to their differential equation models of their economy.
  https://affirmativeright.blogspot.com/2020/09/a-warning-of-economic-collapse.html

“Traditional Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson’s latest missive should be a wake-up call for those who naively believe that the worst is behind for the US and Western economies after the March financial sell off and the long-anticipated implosion of the bubble economy. His Excellency asserts that the US and much of the world are on a financial precipice: At this moment the United States has been brought to the brink of a tremendous economic crisis, and with the USA, the rest of the world. Bishop Williamson contends that it has not only been the response to the virus, but more importantly, the response to the bursting of the financial bubble, created by the Fed, which will ultimately lead to a cataclysmic collapse: By 2019 as the public was more and more hooked on fantasy money, the Fed’s public balance sheet took off into complete unreality, seven trillion dollars and counting, and it is now crashing the real economy with the corona-panic, then ‘paying’ the crash debts that everybody gets into with its unreal trillions, but turning the whole world into real slaves. The bishop’s brief analysis of the history of the Fed is right on as he explains that the central bank has been the engine of monetary mischief since its inception: These money men had promised that the Fed . . . would solve the problem of reoccurring economic crises. . . . It did nothing of the kind. On the contrary, it made them even worse, like the Great Depression of 1929 and the years following, and now the Depression of the 2020s which risks making 1929 look like a picnic, and risks stripping the United States of its prosperity and enslaving its liberty by making all American citizens into debt-slaves. The middle class will soon be no more. One quibble: Bishop Williamson rightly sees the problem of the money supply controlled by “private individuals” (central banksters): It is not normal for private citizens to control their State’s money because they risk doing so in their own interests, and not for the common good. Yet, the alternative – State control – is no better and, under “democratic conditions,” maybe even worse considering the State’s horrific record in the debasement of money, the creation of booms and busts, hyperinflations, the destruction of savings, etc.”

The Dershowitz Defamation Case By Ian Wilson LL. B

     I imagine that this defamation case against the mainstream media will not go too far, but it is a grand symbolic act, and the shape of things to come. Trump should let a thousand law suits bloom against the MSM if he survives in November.  Just for the fun of it.
  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16520/cnn-lawsuit-dershowitz

“Two days later I returned to the Senate to answer questions put to the lawyers by the senators. The first question to me came from Senator Ted Cruz. He asked whether a quid pro quo constituted an impeachable offense. My response was consistent with my argument two days earlier: I said that what "would make a quid pro quo unlawful is if the quo were in some way illegal." If it was, it could constitute an impeachable offense. But if it wasn't illegal or unlawful, the president's political motives could not turn it into an impeachable offense. That was quite clear. Indeed, the next question from the senators was directed to the Democratic House Manager who was asked to respond to my answer. Congressman Adam Schiff, disagreed with my answer, but understood the distinction between lawful and unlawful. So did CNN. When they first showed my answer, they showed it in full, including my statement that a quid pro quo would not be impeachable so long as it was not "in some way illegal." I then went on to say that if a president was motivated in part by his desire to be reelected, which he believes was in the public interest, that motive would not turn a lawful act into an impeachable offense.

WATERFRONT WAR WAGED ON TWO FRONTS by David Thompson

On Target, 24th April 1998

The Liberal Party leadership aspirations of Workplace Relations Minister Peter Reith must be firmly on the line, and perhaps even jeopardised as the waterfront crisis continues. Success for Reith, Howard and the Government depends upon a short campaign with an emphatic victory over the Maritime Union.

REGENERATING THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM By Eric D.Butler

On Target, 24th April 1998

Democracy is one of those omnibus terms, which mean different things to different people. There is, for example Abraham Lincoln's famous statement about democracy being government of the people, by the people and for the people. Like the definition "Majority rule", this definition is far from satisfactory. All government is restrictive and, as pointed out by James Guthrie in his little booklet, Our Sham Democracy, with the subtitle "The Majority Vote Racket", every nation consists of different minorities and governments claim that, as they penalise minorities, they are doing this "on behalf of the majority", which means the progressive destruction of all minorities.

Joe Biden is Hundred of Years Old! By Chris Knight

     Are you Aussies as nervous as me? Joey Biden, likely to be the next US president via postal fraud, thinks that he has been a senator for 180 years! Well, maybe he has, who knows what secret medical technology has been employed? Just look at Soros, who seems to go on forever. Old George is likely to still be around in the 22nd century, still doing what he does. No, of course not, the way things are now, unless he trying to rule over microscopic life forms, that is unlikely.

Covid-1984 Controversies By Brian Simpson

     Here are today’s Coviddy madness summaries, like the lockdown killing many more people than died, even given shonky epidemiology.
  https://cubasi.cu/en/news/cure-worse-disease-study-says-uk-lockdown-linked-thousands-excess-deaths

“Thousands of Britons who suffer heart attacks and strokes are dying at home instead of seeking medical treatment, a new study has found, as new government figures show 75,000 are projected to die as a result of lockdown measures. Stay-at-home orders prompted countless people suffering from serious medical conditions to avoid hospitals, according to the study’s findings, which were published in the Heart medical journal and first reported by the Daily Mail. The paper noted that deaths from heart disease in private homes surged by 35 percent from March to July, resulting in 2,279 more fatalities on average over the past six years. However, heart and stroke deaths in hospitals dropped by around 1,400 during the same period, suggesting that some who chose to stay home would have died anyway even if they had been hospitalized. The researchers calculated that in total, there were 2,085 excess deaths in England and Wales that could be linked to heart attack and stroke sufferers who refused to seek out medical treatment. This means that between March 2 and June 30, every day 17 people died needlessly from heart attacks. The findings support government figures which underline the disastrous side-effects of the UK’s anti-coronavirus policies. A recently released report by the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) found that nearly 75,000 people could die over the next five years from non-Covid causes as a result of the lockdown. More than 30,000 of these projected deaths will be the result of undetected cancers, cancelled operations and health problems associated with economic recession. 26,000 are expected to die if people continue to avoid seeking out critical medical care. The grim predictions appear to already be playing out. According to data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), there were 830 excess deaths at home in one week at the start of September compared to the five-year average of deaths. The UK has registered 5,556 excess deaths at home in the past eight weeks, but only 1,117 deaths were attributed to Covid-19 in the same period, the Telegraph reported. A study published in May by the British Medical Journal found that only one-third of excess deaths seen in England and Wales can be linked to coronavirus. Since the start of the pandemic, the UK has recorded 423,000 coronavirus cases, resulting in 41,936 deaths. The country has seen a recent spike in new infections, but daily deaths have remained relatively stable.”

For Sheeple in the Green Leafy Suburbs By John Steele

     Ferfal and Matt Bracken in their live stream are far ahead of most of us, being in the heart of US decay. I imagine the White South Africans would be even more down the track, but they are too busy surviving to post videos. Anyway, this is worth listening to, even if you think that Australia will be fine, no matter if China invades, because well, I don’t know anymore. It seems that the messengers re always shot first, even metaphorically, in the Cassandra effect:

Sceptical Reflections on the Rule of Lawyers By Ian Wilson LL.B

     I was referred to this article by James Reed, and do not know much about the site, or care, as my main interest is civil liberties. But there is a nice summary of what has been done by a largely conservative Supreme Court in the US. Just ask yourself what a radical Left court would have done! In fact, there are no real conservatives on the court at all, since the legal institution in the US, and all of the West, has long been taken over. My thesis is that the Australian High Court was centralist from the very beginning, indicating that it too was taken over by globalists, from the beginning. I have posted references about this before. Really, how long will it take for the red, white and bluers to realise what we are up against?
  http://www.occidentaldissent.com/2020/09/26/president-trump-nominates-amy-coney-barrett-to-the-supreme-court/

“The GOP has controlled the Supreme Court since I first got involved in politics. This was twenty years ago. In that time, I have watched John Roberts replace William Rehnquist (2005), Samuel Alito replace Sandra Day O’Connor (2006), Neil Gorsuch replace Anthony Scalia (2017) and Brett Kavanaugh replace Anthony Kennedy (2018). Clarence Thomas is the only conservative member of the Supreme Court who is still there. Otherwise, there has been a complete turnover in my adult lifetime. For most of my adult lifetime, the conservative narrative was that Anthony Kennedy was the libertarian swing vote on the Supreme Court. Anthony Kennedy was the reason that social conservatives had amassed a solid losing streak on the court in big decisions like Lawrence v. Texas (2003) which legalized sodomy and most famously with Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) which legalized gay marriage. There were other important decisions like Grutter v. Bollinger (2003) and Fisher v. Texas (2016) which upheld affirmative action. In the Fisher case, Anthony Kennedy upheld affirmative action. In Arizona v. United States (2010), Kennedy was joined by John Roberts in striking down Arizona’s SB 1070 immigration law. Donald Trump was elected in 2016, Anthony Kennedy retired and Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were confirmed and were supposed to consolidate a solid conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

World Bank Corona Conditions By Brian Simpson

     For the globalists, everything is an opportunity for social control. Say a giant killer asteroid about the size of Jupiter was heading for the Earth, and would strike in 24 hours. In fact, the gravitational forces would have ground up the Earth to cosmic dust long before that, but for the purposes of this exercise, ignore it. Pretend we are doing climate science. Well, I imagine that the elites would squeeze out the last drops of social control, just as the planet was ending. Nothing holds back the truly insane.
  https://greatgameindia.com/belarus-world-bank-coronavirus-conditions/

“Huge foreign loans are given to sovereign nations by the World Bank, IMF and the likes. But the conditions that come attached to these loans are seldom told by governments to their citizens. A recent case in Belarus has exposed the conditions laid by these agencies for loans being provided for COVID-19. The President of Belarus has exposed that the World Bank coronavirus aid comes with conditions for imposing extreme lockdown measures, to model their coronavirus response on that of Italy and even changes in the economic policies which he refused as being “unacceptable”. Additional conditions which do not apply to the financial part are unacceptable for Belarus, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said when speaking about external lending during a meeting to discuss support measures for the real economic sector on the part of the banking system, reported Belarusian Telegraph Agency, BelTA.”

Votes in the Dust Bin of History By Charles Taylor

     The ever-disgusting mainstream media have been poo-pooing Trump’s claim that the Democrats are up to electoral fraud with the mail in voting scam. What, us, cheat?! Well, Breitbart, and other conservative and patriot sites have been covering the lying and cheating for some time. The is too much to do the usual cut and paste segment job, but the URLs are informative enough; Democrat voter fraud everywhere, but CNN and the mainstream media are deaf to it, surprise, surprise. This is how they are planning on sealing the fate of the West. Here is a recent sample:

     The script of this play is pretty easy to see, as if Trump romps back in, there will be corrupt mail votes suddenly overturning election results.  Civil war is inevitable, and as natural as any immune system defence, or to use another metaphor Aussies know, like a bushfire racing through the undergrowth and rubbish left from past seasons.

Degenerate Whites Who Feel Safe Now, Will be Unsafe Under Biden’s Antifa Government By Chris Knight

     Here is one from the green leafy suburbs that the writers here are always raging about. White women who feel safe, go for Biden; those unsafe go for Trump. That does not increase my respect for the IQ of such women. Oh, a criticism of women, can we say that still?
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/09/21/poll-white-suburban-women-safe-biden-those-unsafe-trump/

“White suburban women who feel safe in their communities overwhelmingly support Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, but those who feel unsafe support President Donald Trump, according to an Axios/SurveyMonkey poll released on Thursday. The “survey of 14,043 U.S. adults who are white and live in suburbs,” was part of a “SurveyMonkey poll of 35,732 U.S. adults” that was conducted between August 31 and September 6 on the SurveyMonkey platform and has a margin of error of one percent. The popular SurveyMonkey platform — on which more than two million Americans participate in surveys of all sorts each day — uses a different polling methodology than most other polling firms, many of which begin with a file of confirmed registered voters whom they contact by landline phone, cell phone, or online, and ask questions about their likelihood of voting. Many polls use samples of registered voters only, while the subset of likely voters is considered by many polling professionals to be a more accurate predictor of actual voting behavior. In contrast, SurveyMonkey polls are open to all adults who reside in America. That sample includes registered voters, but also residents of the country — not necessarily American citizens — who are not registered to vote. With those caveats in mind, the SurveyMonkey poll results paint a clear and compelling picture. Fifty-eight percent of poll respondents who are white and live in suburbs say they feel “very safe” in their community, while 38 percent say they feel “somewhat safe” and four percent said they feel “unsafe.”

Australian Evidence of a New Ice Age? By James Reed

     I am a great believer in global climate change; not warming, but cooling, always feeling in my water that a new ice age is coming, and scientists whom I read in the 1970s told me that, and that is about how up to date I am, which is impressive. Take the present cold snap, with Antarctica dumping its coldness upon us, no concern that I can’t even feel my fingers as I type this. I can’t afford heating and am locked down, like Victorian (i.e. 1800s) prisoners, in an icy dungeon, to keep safe from Coviddy.
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8771283/Heavy-snow-hail-thunderstorms-hit-South-Australia-Victoria-NSW.html?ito=push-notification&ci=35872&si=12817605

     Even snow in South Australia, up in the Flinders Ranges, wherever they are, somewhere up north, maybe near Adelaide, it does not matter much to me, because I am an arrogant Victorian, made more arrogant by being shut up in a chicken coop for, what a year now? Anyway, I argue that this is due to global cooling, since whenever there is a bushfire, well it’s global warming. So, by parity of reason, when there is a cooling event, it must be evidence of the opposite namely an ice age. You can’t have your ice cream cake and eat it too.

Magic Bullet Vaccines By Mrs Vera West

     There are a pile of recent news items on the failure of Covid-19 vaccines. All sorts of side effects, not yet quite reducing people to living dead zombies, but bad all the same. So, expect the New World Order elites to be pressing on with the lockdown agenda, to keep the social conditioning up of the ordinary punter, making people into insects. No, not even dogs, because dogs are not treated this badly.

Unspoken Slavery By Mrs Vera West

     This is an issue that even the nationalist do not talk about much, since the sexual exploitation of White women, especially Nordics/Northern Europeans, is a given now.

Pope Francis, the Woke Pope By Peter West

     Due to the Covid-1984 freak-out, one of the few good things is that we have not hear much from the Pope, who has been keeping his head down, and remaining in the Vatican eating, no doubt his supply of apocalyptic freeze-dried food, while servants do his laundry, all of those nice white robes, making them Covid safe.

  https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2020/09/17/pope-francis-parents-lgbt-children-god-loves-your-children-they-are

“Pope Francis told a group of parents of L.G.B.T. children yesterday that “God loves your children as they are” and “the church loves your children as they are because they are children of God.” He did so in a brief encounter with some 40 Italian parents (both mothers and fathers) of L.G.B.T. children after the public audience in the Renaissance courtyard of San Damaso in the Vatican. The parents are members of an Italian association, Tenda di Gionata (“Jonathan’s Tent”), which welcomes and provides information and formation to L.G.B.T. Christians, their families and pastoral workers. The association was founded in 2018 by people inspired by a Catholic priest, the late Rev. David Esposito from the Diocese of Fermo in the Marches region of Italy. Mara Grassi, the vice president of the association, together with her husband Agostino Usai—both wearing masks—presented the pope with a booklet titled “Genitori Fortunati” (“Fortunate Parents”) that documented the experiences of these parents with the church, experiences that were at times far from easy, and their requests for acceptance despite all too often being considered “undesirable” by church communities.”

Time to Fight the Rabid Dogs of the Left By Charles Taylor

     The Left continues violence in the US every day; it is now their day job, and night time entertainment. Burn down some hard-working Black or White Business, to push more money into the orifices of Big Business, that is the aim. And it is “mostly peaceful” since the majority of the time performing the throwing of a bomb, consists of peaceful moments, so it really is mostly peaceful statistically speaking. After all, a store burns down, someone dies; that is peace at the end of the process. It is peaceful while the bullet is in flight towards your head.

"If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f-----g thing down," author Reza Aslan tweeted. He later responded to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's vow to hold a vote on President Trump's nominee. "Over our dead bodies, literally," he tweeted.”

Wasps and Figs By Mrs Versa West

     I like figs, and like most of us all I enjoy sitting under my back-yard fig tree, embracing my individual freedom, or what freedom I used to have before we in Melbourne lost everything. And I imagine that the anti-freedom police will be here soon to cut down my metaphorical fig tree. Shades of Adam and Eve! Anyway, blow me over, no easy task given my whale-like weight, there are wasps who live in figs. Didn’t know that, but now I do.
  https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/09/19/dead-wasp-in-every-fig.aspx?cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art2ReadMore&cid=20200919Z1&mid=DM654200&rid=968084743

“If you’re a fig lover, this next sentence may be hard for you to swallow. The figs you’re eating could have a dead wasp stuck in them. I know that probably makes you squirm, but it sounds more dramatic than it is. You may think the idea of wasps inside a fig is gross, but it’s actually pretty amazing to see how nature knows exactly what it needs to do to allow both plant and insect species to survive. Figs and fig wasps have a mutually beneficial relationship — something that’s officially called mutualism — that developed over millions of years of evolution. They need each other to survive. Fig wasps help pollinate figs and, in turn, the figs provide a safe place for the wasps to lay their eggs. This relationship is crucial to a balanced ecosystem and is also crucial to you enjoying a fresh fig or that fig jam you love. So, don’t let this tidbit of information make you shy away from eating figs. The fruit, or technically flower, is full of resistant starch, potassium and other nutrients such as magnesium and choline, that help keep you healthy. Plus, you’re probably already eating a lot of bugs without even realizing it. Read on to see what I mean. Why Do Figs Need Wasps?

Hi, My Name is Joe Biden, and I am a Criminal, and Adulterer. What’s New? By Chris Knight

     It is all unfolding for the Biden criminal gang, with the release of an explosive Senate report, that the lying mainstream media are trying to sweep under the carpet. Here I will bring you up to speed so that you do not need to spend four hours wandering through the desert of the internet to find out what is going on. Short version: these guys ae crooks, to quote Natural News.com:

“The 87-page report was released Wednesday by Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who oversaw the probe since it was launched last year. The probe found that in 2015, two Obama administration officials voiced concerns to White House officials about the possibility that the younger Biden serving on the board of Burisma could create the appearance of a conflict of interest, as his father oversaw Ukraine policy. The report states that the Obama White House knew that Hunter’s position prevented “the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine.” “Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries and who appear to be linked to an “Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”

Blooming Up Bloomberg By Chris Knight

     Boy, oh boy, things are at last getting hot, which is just the way I like politics, for it has been too much passive rape of us by the Left in my opinion. Now, money-bags Bloomberg, who has been working away like a busy beaver, on his own strategy to sink the Trumpster, may come unstuck. Yes! Let’s hope so. Get some goals up on the board, if that is where you put goals.

  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8762801/Rep-Matt-Gaetz-calls-criminal-probe-Mike-Bloomberg-payoff-felons-debts.html

“Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has called on the state's Attorney General to investigate Bloomberg for "Potentially Engaging In Bribery And Vote Buying." Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg - who has committed at least $100 million in Florida towards electing Joe Biden, has raised another $16 million to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 Black and Hispanic felons so that they can vote in the November election. The money will go towards a program organized by the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition. By state law, former prisoners who are already registered to vote in Florida are barred from participating in the election if they have outstanding legal debts to the state, according to the Washington Post. Bloomberg has raised money from both individuals and foundations, according to his advisers. The billionaire views the donations as a more cost-effective way of adding Democratic voters in Florida than investing money to persuade non-felons to change their vote, according to a memo. "We have identified a significant vote share that requires a nominal investment," it reads. "The data shows that in Florida, Black voters are a unique universe unlike any other voting bloc, where the Democratic support rate tends to be 90%-95%." The memo also notes that Biden is currently polling worse among Cuban American voters than Hillary Clinton did in 2016, while other Hispanic groups are in favor of Biden by a margin of 3 to 1. Florida voters passed a statewide constitutional amendment in 2018 that gave former felons, except those convicted of murder or felony sexual offenses, the opportunity to vote in upcoming elections. The Republican-controlled legislature subsequently passed, and the Republican governor signed, a law that conditioned their return to the voting rolls on the payment of all fees, fines and restitution that were part of their sentence.
