Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note — WW3 – The elevator pitch in 60 seconds
This all leads back to Joe Biden. Biden dismantled the crippling sanctions imposed on Iran by Trump. Biden further enabled Iran by resurrecting the Obama JCPOA deal that Trump had cancelled. From there the story tells the itself. It’s not complicated — Iran enables...
Random Notes — DEI and the colour of skin
In addition to my usual Random Notes yesterday I introduced a new concept of what’s known as “the elevator or penthouse pitch”. That is, explaining something or selling an idea in the time it takes to travel with someone from the ground floor to the penthouse.
Random Note — Social Engineers and the nazification of language
The concept and application of “inclusion” in the political, DEI sense, is a euphemism for the dismantling and abolition of particular societal standards and values and to subsume those, usually a very personal world view of values and standards, by forcing via legal fiat, the acceptance of standards, values and mores to which you don’t subscribe and are inimical to the way you view the world around you.
Random Note — The Great Replacement Theory
The great replacement theory is not a theory at all and is actually happening in real time. It has been has been expounded in the New York Times by Michelle Goldberg under the heading of an op-ed piece, “We Can Replace Them” in October 2018.
Random Note — Journalistic Brats
You would think that when a profession is in a nose dive, such a dangerous predicament and seemingly hell bent on doubling down on the destruction of the overall credibility of the profession, that owners, publishers and wiser, more mature heads would exercise...
Random Note — Antoinette Latouff and her 15 minutes of fame
The unseemly scramble for victimhood status and self justification, the harrumphing, the outrage, the moral umbrage and indignation of this fill-in broadcasting mediocrity over her pro- Hamas comments is obscene but unfortunately typical of the left and particularly...
Random Note — After more than 50 years, “𝐡𝐞𝐲, 𝐡𝐞𝐲, 𝐡𝐨, 𝐡𝐨, 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐜𝐢𝐯 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨” is still the cri de coeur of the left.
With Israel as ground zero for the entire Judea Christian ethos, it follows that it is also ground zero for what we commonly refer to as Western Civilisation.
Without that ethos, Western civilisation doesn’t exist. That’s us. We’re here. It is what we’re about.
Random Note — DEI — Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
I remember at a wedding back in the late 70’s early 80’s the priest or minister said something vis a vis, husbands, wives and marriage that I’ve never forgotten. “𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬”. That is what the doctrine of DEI is all about. Encouraging,...
Random Note — Climate Change – Reckless indifference and malice aforethought.
Perhaps in Australia we’ve reached a stage where the legal phrase, “Reckless Indifference” needs to be repurposed and criminally applied to politicians like Climate and Renewables minister, Chris Bowen who embraces his mission with such great zeal, alacrity and enthusiasm.
Random Note — The Fine Cotton ring-in racing scandal and the fiction of transgender.
Wearing the colours of Fine Cotton and metaphorically painting your fetlocks to fool the punters doesn’t make you any more Fine Cotton
than deciding on a whim, that you are a woman and similarly trying to cheat your way to victory.
