Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsHigh Horse Notes — Giles Auty, Spectator
Karl Marx had a particular hatred of Catholicism which he correctly perceived as the bulwark of Western civilisation most likely to thwart his plans. As Paul Kengor states appropriately in his recent book Takedown: from communists to progressives how the Left has sabotaged family and marriage: ‘Communism begins where atheism begins. They were all interconnected: communism, atheism, abolition of religion, abolition of marriage, abolition of the family – all peas in the same pod. It is my belief that anyone with even half a brain could not have voted for SSM if they had read Kengor’s excellent book before voting. Luckily for us, however, true intellectuals still exist in our world who can cut through the all-enveloping moral haze created by post-modernism, neo-Marxism and all its other basically communist derivatives.
Random Note — The Tennant Creek toddler and the stolen generation
The circumstances surrounding the raped two year old toddler at Tennant Creek again highlights the diabolical and kryptonite issue created by the perpetrators of the stolen generation meme. So politically charged, politically correct, toxic and totemic has it become as an issue, the political class and the media have been badgered and brow beaten into silence. If Bill Shorten and Labor are pledging $75,000 for each survivor of the stolen generation then this little girl is entitled to $75,000 and much more for NOT being “stolen.”
Hillary’s Uranium One Reaching Critical Mass — American Thinker
But why has there been no prosecution of Clinton? Why did the FBI and the Department of Justice during the Obama administration keep the evidence secret? Was it concealed to prevent a scandal that would poison Barack Obama’s presidency? Was Hillary Clinton being protected in her quest to succeed him? The answer may lie with the people who were in charge of the investigation and who knew of its explosive impact. Who are they?
Peter Ridd Hits Back At James Cook University — Watts Up With That
When it comes to climate, peer review is not what its held out to be or what we imagine it to be. It was once a legitimate process that’s been weaponised and politicised to ensure conformity.
“..Reefs have similarities to Australian forests, which require periodic bushfires. It looks terrible after the bushfire, but the forests always regrow. The ecosystem has evolved with these cycles of death and regrowth…”
The Climate Council’s Global Damage — Quadrant
Check how the Climate Councils catastrophism, distortion and lies goes viral at the bottom of the story in red. That there are casualties and collateral damage as a consequence of one organisation’s blinkered determination to promote itself and its allies’ climate cause should not need to be stated, but sadly it does because, with one exception, the same media outlets which happily obliged the Climate Council with so much uncritical “reporting” of its latest scare campaign couldn’t be bothered calling, say, a Port Douglas motelier for his thoughts on what the campaign to present the Great Barrier Reef as diseased, dying and dead is likely to have on his bottom line.
Blind eyes and the Russiagate ‘scandal’ — Quadrant
“….Australian reporters assigned to cover the United States pack their leanings — Left ones, of course — with their socks when they jet off to relay the action in Washington. Either that or they are bone lazy. There is a ripper scandal unfolding on Capitol Hill but explaining it in full has been too much trouble.
Any investment of faith in the Australian media’s reporting of events in Washington will not produce a dividend, as must be obvious after more than 12 months of monkey-see/monkey-cut-and-paste dispatches from our less-than-intrepid foreign correspondents. This is perhaps understandable, given the prevailing Left slant of all local newsrooms, especially the ABC and Fairfax. When their journalists leave for stints Stateside they pack their prejudices along with their socks. Having departed Australia imbued with their media colleagues’ prevailing view that Donald Trump is a scoundrel who must surely be impeached, they naturally turn for story ideas, if not enlightenment, to like-minded American outlets.

This is a ten minute podcast from Canadian Broadcasting recorded in March 2016 before the Canadian government enacted a law last year (2017) that compels citizens to address trans people how they wish to be addressed. There’s no other way to describe it other than...
The source of Bandt rant against Major General (Senator) Jim Molan — Andrew Bolt
The source of Adam Bandt’s rant against Major General (now Senator) Jim Molan: “....Di Natale’s source is even worse than Britain First. That “UN special rapporteur” is Swiss academic Jean Ziegler, a radical who once claimed genocidal Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe...
Random Note — Justin Trudeau compares returning ISIS supporters with Italian immigrants
Moral Narcissism is the almost schizophrenic divide between intentions and results now pervading our culture — is the new method for feeling good about yourself. It no longer matters how anything turns out as long as your intentions were good, that you were “moral.” And, just as importantly, the only determinant of those intentions, the only one who defines that morality, is you
Random Note — Robert Doyle — Just who are the real sexual harassers?
we’re left to wonder in the case of Robert Doyle, just who are the real sexual harassers. In terms of proportionality, just how bad were his alleged crimes and misdemeanours? Do they warrant the witch hunt, the Salem like witch trial, public humiliation and hospitalisation we see unfolding?
