All around the world, there is a growing sense of imminent crises… it is as though some central command has set the stage and choreographed the scenes that will come to the climax in the final scene.
The storm is coming and we may have to batten down the hatches.

We have all heard the chants from the leftie luvvies that guns kill people. I remember reading a comment online somewhere that if taking guns off people was the answer then surely, in order to cut rapes, men need to chop their dicks off…. Such is the logic.
When I taught adults in a mature learning setting, I suggested that our own view of a situation was what influences our perception of the same facts and the same scenario.
I cited the tale of the flooded river. The bridge was washed away and a young woman was left on one side of the river, her fiance on the other. She desperately wished to get across the river to her beloved, but the only way was by ferry and there was only one ferry.
She approached the owner of the ferry and explained her situation. He said that he would ferry her across, on the condition that she slept with him.
If I ask myself who I truly respect and admire in the field of Sports, I would have to say Israel Folau and Margaret Holmes a Court.
Two Christian sports people who stood up for their beliefs in spite of fierce back lashes downunder.
Compare their sacrfices to what has happened to Adam Goodes and Colin Kapernick and you will see the pattern: two defended their faith and one defended his right to be a racist.
We seem to have an outbreak of mental health issues throughout the world. Yelling “allah hu akbar “ is not terrorism, apparently it is a mental health issue.
People murdering others, massacres carried out – mental health issues.
There are people whose brains have been addled by drugs and they have mental health issues. Addled by religious zealous or fanatical indoctrination.

Opinion piece from Guest writer Redhead
The type of news we read today would not have been seen or heard 5 or 6 years ago. In that short time the World as we used to know it has changed and changed dramatically. Even little New Zealand has undergone such a dramatic change it is almost a different Country. Australia with its - “ we must be careful what we say and do for fear of upsetting a particular group of people.” People who are new comers , people who a helping hand was given who somehow bite that hand that feeds them .
China is flexing it’s muscle. Hong Kong is being threatened. USA is being threatened. Australia is being threatened despite already having sold out to China.
The Port of Darwin is under Chinese control for 99 years. Chinese Warships can sail in to Sydney Harbour without notice so that is good. ( If you are China. ) But what if you are Australian?
Wouldn’t that be a tiny bit concerning if you were a dinky die, true Aussie Blue mate of all things Crocodile Dundee?
Wouldn’t the fact that many University Students in Australia are from China be a tiny bit of an issue?
Well, here I go, about to talk about the elephant in the room : China in Australia. Yet President Trump is our only salvation.
What a mad and insane decision by the Australian Judicial system.
Was this made because of our believed and beloved “ beyond reasonable doubt” or because no doubt is reasonable?
For myself, a non Catholic, I believe that this stinks of Political corruption. It has nothing to do with Justice. It has nothing to do with Beyond Reasonable Doubt. It has nothing to do with what is Right, Just, Fair or even the rule of Commonsense.
It has everything to do with what THEY want, what THEY wish to have happen and all I can say is “ who are THEY? “
I wrote an article some months ago about this and I now believe it has nothing to do with anything other than what THEY want to have as the outcome.
Cardinal Pell is the Fall Guy and he should never have looked in to the finances of the Vatican. Bottom line, he did his job and he was and is being punished for it.
This man was probably one of the only decent and honest members of the senior clergy – he was delving into the dark financial dealings of the Vatican.
He has now become the fall guy to, like Christ, take on his shoulders, all of the sins of the Catholic Church… and the Vatican will see him suffer for being without sin.
The former British Colony of Hong Kong is one of the biggest trading centres in the world. Trade is something HK should know a lot about: after all, it has been traded for centuries as a People and an area. Its status has been determined due to trade since the Opium Wars of the mid 19th Century.
To understand what is happening in Hong Kong today, one has to go back nearly 200 years and understand its role in Trade. Then, and now, it is almost a keystone in an archway that leads from East to West and West to East.
If the archway of Hong Kong falls, then the Southern Hemisphere is up for grabs. If you don’t believe me, have a read and consider this small land mass and the role it has played as a keystone in two centuries of history. And it all started with the Opium Wars.
You know how one day you just know it is time? You just get that feeling that it is time for the world to wake up?
Well, I have that feeling. Right now.
I suspect that the world will wake up, instead of waking from a dream, the people will wake in to a Nightmare,'And, when it is exposed for what it is, it will be beyond horror.
It will no doubt be censored because it will be too hard to comprehend. Mark my words, we are about to go into Hell and we will not wish to be there .
The Lefties will shriek and scream. But we are about to enter into a realisation that was so crazy and so beyond belief... but it will be real.
Welcome to Hell.
The late great Premier of Queensland, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen is regarded as a hero and an anti-hero, depending upon what side of the political fence you sit. For myself, I always sat in the Joh camp and he and Lady Flo were the reason I left my beloved New Zealand to reside in Queensland. Across the ditch, away from my homeland.
Sir Joh was a Kiwi. He and his wife ruled this State with what I call a benevolent dictatorship. Now, I have always believed that the best form of government is a benevolent dictatorship. When the person in charge is only interested in what is best for the citizens, the people, then all is good. Government by the masses is doomed to failure.
