I live opposite a school In Queensland. This morning, the little ones aged from 5 to about 7 years old are arriving back to have their first day in the classroom for what seems to have been an eternity. I went outside to watch the Mums and Dads pulling up, dropping their little boys and girls off and I smiled. The sound of their excited chatter soon filled the air.
Then something happened. A little girl was standing at the pedestrian crossing and while she was waiting, another little girl called out and started running towards the first one. The first girl looked up and spotted her friend running down the footpath. They squealed with delight and, as they met, they wrapped their arms around each other so tightly that it seemed they never wanted to stop.
And I started to cry.
My late Uncle taught me that if I was not prepared to lose it, don’t risk it. They are wise words indeed, particularly in light of what we are currently experiencing and enduring.
He was talking about a time when I went to him with a business idea. I was seeking feedback from older relatives about whether or not I should mortgage our family home in order to start a business venture. It was something I felt would be a real winner, a great idea and sure to succeed.
I had done my business plan, my projections and looked at the market need. It all looked profoundly positive and I suppose, in retrospect I was not so much looking for feedback of a critical nature, but one that patted me on the back for having been so brilliant as to come up with this gap in the market.
I went to see my Uncle and asked for his input and opinion.
The biggest theme in all this Chinese flu business is wash your hands. Which made me wonder how something so basic is now having to be told to people? Have we all over the world become a people of neglect? Are Nursing Homes hardest hit because people are elderly and frail or because the basic hygiene has left a lot to be desired?

Spare a thought for World War Two veteran Captain Tom Moore who was appointed to the rank of honorary colonel on his 100th birthday. We all have heard of his amazing efforts fundraising for the British National Health service but has anyone stopped and thought about what Captain Moore has seen in his amazing 100 years of this Earth?
This article was written back in 2018. It is quite frightening how it has come to pass.I am also reminded of this: Tony Abbott warned us 15 years ago.
Mass Migration and Open Borders - recipe for a worldwide epidemic?
Every time an unscreened refugee or migrant arrives in our country, are we being putting at risk?.
Do our Governments have an obligation to protect us from the United Nations Open Borders Policy?

It’s all about Trump
Remember when Donald Trump came up with this great campaign slogan “ Make America Great Again “ ? His vision of doing the impossible – to fix the mess that 8 years of Obama Governance created and bring the American economy back from the dead.
In his last two years in office, Obama claimed that “ 2% growth was the best we could hope for ‘. In his last year as President, Obama claimed that Trump's proposed tax cuts and deregulation “ would only make things worse.”
Well, they didn’t. In fact, America was soaring like an Eagle … until the Wuflu swooped in like a wind turbine and chopped that Eagle down.
The Wuflu was deliberately hatched in China and Chinese people who are infected are sent out to spread the “ message “.
Hubei Province, riddled with the infection, is shut off from the rest of China but flights continue from Wuhan to the rest of the Globe.
This has the effect of shutting down Global Economies and bringing the west to a standstill. We are all on “ hold “ in that circle of “ your call is important to us – please keep holding. Do not hang up because you will lose your place in the queue. “
So we sit, on hold, waiting and waiting and hoping that we will be answered.
Meanwhile, behind the recorded message, the Powers that Be are racing around trying to find out what the hell is going on and how they fix the mess.
Some time ago, I wrote an article about New Zealand’s role in the Global events we are seeing unfolding. It was largely ignored, because it was written long before the WuFlu destruction of our economies and long before we knew what was going on throughout the world.
It was about a rocket launching facility on the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand. When I re read it, it was like a portent of grim things to come.
We are about to face one of the biggest awakenings in our history. The attempt to take down a duly elected President of the United States of America.

Cast your minds back to the start of the Wuhan virus. The Chinese Communist Party was very quick to stop all travel to any other part of China from Wuhan.
But they then promptly allowed worldwide travel direct from Wuhan, spreading the infliction across the globe, virtually weaponising the virus.
They were very swift to immediately blame the local wet market as the cause of the outbreak. But they are now insisting that wet markets do not exist!

On the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook's discovery of the east coast of Australia its worth asking ... what was Cook doing here? He certainly wasn't looking for Australia (or New Holland as it was then known) as Europeans had known it existed since the 1500's. Like many other Europeans before him, Cook was searching for the fabled land of Terra Australis.
