Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsFree market capitalism at risk as discontent is exploited — Maurice Newman, The Australian
For decades government, trade unions, and crony capitalists have actively colluded to create an effective mutually reinforcing cartel resulting in economic power being concentrated in fewer hands. To outsiders, democracy no longer means government of the people and by the people but is seen as a means of the self-aggrandisement and advancement of elites.
Random Note — Richo and the generously superannuated and over indulged political class elites
The best (or worst) optics and example of the problem came just last weekend when, with the United States in government shut down and 800,000 workers going unpaid, the Democrats took themselves off to Puerto Rico in the Bahamas flying in a private jet (consider the co2 emissions) for a weekend junket of poolside partying at the expense of lobbiests for Amazon and Google et al.
Random Note — Australia Day bitterness, resentment and ingratitude. “What have the Romans ever done for us”
There is not a single aboriginal person alive today that has been dispossessed of anything and there’s not a single NON indigenous person alive today that participated in any such dispossession. Officially, eighty percent of indigenous people live ordinary, working lives just like all other Australians in the cities, suburbs and regional towns across Australia and the remaining twenty percent in remote areas that have fallen behind are the beneficiaries of taxpayer largess to the extent of the Closing the Gap program with a budget of $33.4 billion a year.

The left are in favour of open borders because it gifts them a ready made, off the shelf, imported, mendicant, social welfare client and voter support base.
Random Note — Refugee activists and hypocrisy
we hear a great deal these days from overindulged, pampered, brainwashed and quite frankly, stupid Western feminists with their rote learned talking points about “the patriarchy” but perhaps the circumstances surrounding Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun with father and brother on her tail to drag her back to Saudi Arabia whether she likes it or not, will give some context and perspective and demonstrates what real as opposed to imaginary patriarchy looks like.
Chaos Is Just One Vote Away — Barnaby Joyce, The Australia
The new year is going to change our nation. This may be a trite, repetitious warning, but this time it is going to happen. We have arrived at the space where indoctrination has beaten logic.
Random Note — John Setka, diddums
Welcome to the Karma Cafe fella where there’s no menu but you get what you so richly deserve.
Random Note — The UN Global Migration Compact
Essentially, although it’s euphemistically called the UN Global Migration Compact, when you listen to the bullet points as enumerated by Stefan Molyneux, and strip it all back, it is quite apparent that it is nothing less than a blueprint for the elimination of national borders and therefore the nation state that has been the basis of all societies and cultures for millennia.
Random Note – The Washington Swamp
You have to wonder just whose agenda and whose interests are being served by the political class on both sides in the US over Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from Syria. Is it the people or is it the interests of consultants and the defence industry lobbyists? I...
Random Note — Karl Stefanovic, Salim Mehajer and the parallels
There would seem to be some striking parallels between Karl Stefanovic and Salim Mehajer. Remember how It was the flashy but trashy Mehajer wedding complete with arrival by helicopter on to a suburban street that precipitated public and community interest and...
