Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note — Words Are Weapons
The term pathological liar is a brutal set of words, and I’ve never heard it attributed or applied to any individual politician other than Donald Trump. It’s obviously designed to damage and to further convey the impression and frame the individual that “he’s not one...
Random Note — The Issue Is Never The Issue
It was 1960’s activist and author of Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky who said, “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧” When we start to view climate change through this prism, everything else comes into finer focus and makes sense. Now,...
Random Note — The Courtesy Bus and The Sharing Economy
An analogy to understand the concept of The Sharing Economy is your typical suburban courtesy bus. When we see at your local RSL, bowlo or shopping cemntre, the term “courtesy bus” which picks you up and drops you off, we all know and understand what it’s all about....
Random Note — The Decline Of The West
I benchmark the beginning of the decline of the West to the Vietnam war. With the advent of television in the late 1950’s, it was the first war beamed into loungerooms across Australia and America and that is where it was lost. In the lounge rooms of the West. Not on the battlefield. The politicians came under scruitiny like never before.
Random Note — Megyn Kelly, Bill Maher interview.
He doesnt realise that he comes across as your typical, oily lounge lizard or like the Charles Dickens character, the obsequious and unctuous Uriah Heep, slippin’ and slidin’ all over the place and like many, if not most on the left, totally ignorant of well chronicled facts and detail.
Random Note — Where is this place called Palestine? The UN are the new Romans with the same 2000 year old playbook.
What we’re dealing with here is the next phase of the “𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚” meme, again just like the Romans it’s about erasing what exists with something that doesn’t exist.
Random Not — America. A Boiling Frog
America has been a boiling frog for the last 50 years. Its been a slow build to the crescendo we’re witnessing at this moment in history. The left, having sensed the moment, have seized the high ground, manned the ramparts and are pouring boiling oil down on anyone that looks like a threat.
Random Note – Oikophobia – The hatred of your country
How could an individual or group take all the advantages and benefits from the abundance of their own country with all that it offers in terms of material benefits, opportunity and freedom but then hold such a deep loathing, contempt and doubt about its legitimacy and what it stands for and what it has built from nothing?
Random Note – Fact Checking: Fakes, Frauds, Fonys, Shysters and Charlatans
Fact checking as a political device has been around since the mid to late 2000s and has been a very successful, North Korean, Orwelllian style Ministry of Truth project designed to add the weight, authority and gravitas of academe to buttress their arguments and debating points.
