Details
Written by: Op-Ed Guest Post

Jewish enclave, home of a deported nation, a present for the Ukrainians: The difficult history of Russian Crimea. 

In March, it will be eight years since the day Crimea returned to the Russian Federation. This ended its 60-year history as part of Ukraine, which began, not on February 19, 1954, but a little earlier.

Showdown? Yes. It is the showdown.

Written by: Op-Ed Jake Irish

We are at the showdown folks. This will be showdown. This is the thing that will sort out who Australia is, what Australia is and the future that Australia can look forward to.

We are about to sort the wheat from the chaff my friends and I believe that the husk is about to get very thick. In fact, we will be so covered in it, we won't know the hell is going on.

It is probably still the last post in Australian Defense.

Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Guest Post

Once in a while, a voice you’ve never heard seems to come out of nowhere. The voice punches you in the gut with concision and force. When that happens, you know you’re hearing the voice of a leader. Not a ruler. A leader. And a leader is someone you follow because it’s the right thing to do, not because you are compelled to do so by other voters or fiat appointers.

Throughout the Commonwealth, trouble is brewing. Our Governor Generals are merely puppet appointments of the governments and our Queen is too busy putting out the home fires to keep them burning in our nations. 

The Canada and Canberra debacle - even the bees are swarming at the Beehive in New Zealand.

Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning..(Psalm 30).

Written by: Op-Ed Malcolm Kirke

“Those great times we once had before the "world went mad". I wonder if we'll ever see them again?” 

Oh yes, we’ll see them again, but it will take time, and will involve a degree of ruthless dealing with certain people responsible for the foul miasma of personal misery, economic hardship and irretrievable loss to many people as well as to the country, severe psychological damage to many, adults and children alike, that has enveloped the world and its people like a choking cloud.
