Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsWas Muhammad an Epileptic? — American Thinker
The only explanation that stands up to an analysis of the original Muhammadan literature is that he suffered from epilepsy. This is the belief that many of his contemporaries held, and it is a theory that has been advanced by his critics ever since, beginning with the Byzantine ecclesiastical historian Theophanes (752-817). He attributed creation of Islam to a ploy by Muhammad’s first wife to hide the shame of being married to someone with the falling sickness, as epilepsy used to be called, by claiming he was a prophet and was divinely inspired
Wind turbines are neither clean nor green and they provide zero global energy — Matt Ridley, Spectator
Just how unhinged, absurd, futile AND insanely, eye-wateringly expensive, is the pursuit of alternative energy? Some staggering stats that should sober up a few of the romantics. “..Here’s a quiz; no conferring. To the nearest whole number, what percentage of the world’s energy consumption was supplied by wind power in 2014, the last year for which there are reliable figures? Was it 20 per cent, 10 per cent or 5 per cent? None of the above: it was 0 per cent. That is to say, to the nearest whole number, there is still no wind power on Earth.
Random Note — Core Values
The end result can only be a Himalayan like exercise in plate tectonics where one set of values collides with and is subducted by others. This is tolerance and diversity off the leash and on the loose to our own detriment and as Karl Popper observed, “unlimited tolerance leads to the tolerant being destroyed by the intolerant

Tribunal foils Immigration Minister attempt to kick sex creep taxi driver out of Australia — Herald Sun
Here’s the problem. Who the hell is running the place? Certainly not those we elect. Do not adjust your set OR your glasses. It actually does read that 4389 times out of 11,323 that the AAT has brushed aside the Ministers directive in the last 12 months. A staggering 39%.
Push to halt ABC ‘charity’ quotas
Like affirmative action and other Emily’s List type, quotas, and various forms of social engineering, this is politically correct, demeaning, tokenistic and patronising.
Macron — About it
Hey, Greens — It’s about your white privilege
Funny how the Greens and Fairfax and others are outraged by the Labor “all white” television commercial….Meet The Greens and the Fairfax parliamentary crew. The hypocrisy sucks the oxygen out of the room.
Random Note #187,673 — Cassie Sainsbury
As the mule, she’ll get probably a 10, 20 year stretch in a Colombian hell hole and as the alleged, end user/consumer, Damian Keogh and Shaun Kenny-Dowell and a couple of others caught out in the last 48 hours will probably get the usual slap on the wrist, maybe a fine and/or a suspension and then get to resume their corporate and sporting lives and pursue other abundant opportunities.
