Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsMarxism belongs in history’s bin after 100 years of hellish failure — The Australian
It’s only after 100 years of Marxism and when multiple examples of its implementation is compressed into a single column like this that again it is reinforced what a dog it is. And of course as generations come through into the future who have no experience or learning and knowledge of its abject failure everywhere it’s been tried, they will think of it as something new, exciting and different. And so the wheel turns.
“..Communism has killed on average a million people a year for a century, far more than any other ism, let alone what Marxists call “capitalism”, and the rest of us call freedom. The first communists meant well. Their crime was to bet the farm on an untried idea and then, when it failed (as Lenin’s half-hearted New Economic Policy conceded), to be pig-headedly insensitive to the negative empirical data coming back from the experiment. Like bloodletting medics, they elevated a principle into a dogma, with no regard to human suffering, in spite of overwhelming evidence..”
A new possible disaster for Angela Merkel — American Thinker
In 2015, Merkel took front and centre to become the “greatest woman” and leader in Europe when she said, “We will take them all!” – regardless of the cost to her own nation or the nations of Europe. She nullified the “refugee agreement” and brought a torrent of Islamists from the Middle East and North Africa whose own ideology is to conquer Europe. She was hailed throughout the world by the political elite and mainstream media.
New study of elitists reveals how out of touch they are — American Thinker
This explains the phenomenon of the elites and the bubble in which they live and I’m sure that they same survey in Australia would produce the exact same results. “..A fascinating survey has created a data-based measure of the social isolation of the urban elites, the people who run the country who have no contact at all with the lives of most people..”
The move to swap Tony Abbott for Malcolm Turnbull has been close to a disaster — Ross Fitzgerald, Sydney Morning Herald
It seems highly possible that his party will depose Turnbull in March or April with an early federal election to follow shortly after the coup.
Powerful stuff.
Think about this as you take in and contemplate this photo. Michael Collins (Apollo 11) is the only person in the history of the planet not contained in this photo. Everyone else, from the beginning, is either on the earth or under it.
Progressivism as a mental illness — American Thinker
Finally!!!! At last my suspicions have been confirmed. “….Dr Rossiter’s studies may be condensed to the proposition that modern, progressivism is a form of mental illness, characterized by the failure of such individuals to grow up emotionally and thus remain in a perpetual infantile state. Their behaviour is that of “Spoiled Brats…”
Malcolm Turnbull faces section 18C test amid ethnic opposition — The Australian
This is the end result of 40+ years of multi culti glad handing, pandering and appeasement whereby the minority tail now wags the majority dog. It’s not about the numbers as such but the lobbies and the special interests and it infects both Liberal and Labor to the detriment of all Australians. The majority lobby and interest group, that of ordinary Australians gets ignored once again. Now, watch Turnbull go to water.
“…Submissions from community groups to the inquiry, which the Prime Minister ordered to examine the law and the role of the Australian Human Rights Commission, show a backlash against reform that mirrors a campaign more than two years ago when Mr Abbott, as prime minister, promised to revoke 18C but was ultimately forced to abandon the controversial plan…”
Good Riddance — Peter Smith, Quadrant
".....A petty, vainglorious and failed president has made a scorched-earth policy his exit strategy, sowing his successor's path with last-minute executive edicts. No surprise, really. Slipping away from the messes he creates has been the Obama style for eight...

Only The Climate Is Unchanged — Nick Cater, The Australian
This is a great read as Nick Cater pulls together and chronicles item by item, issue by issue just how wrong the experts got it in 2017. The cognoscenti, the commentariat, and the expert class got it wrong big time on just about everything and by every measure including the horoscopes, sorry, I mean the polls.
