I would not normally comment on matters published on other sites. However, the thrust of the article was a denigration of Australia’s supposed subservience to the United States starting with our involvement in WW2 and gradual acceptance of American culture following WW1.
The question of whether a third American “civil war” has begun occurred to me after reading a recent New York Times piece (deliberately unlinked as it fails fact checking) that claimed that the president can mandate a vaccine today because George Washington did so during America’s first “civil war,” more commonly called the American Revolution (1775-83).
I am a Christian Brothers College (CBC) old boy and attended a few of the colleges as a boarder. The brothers were dedicated, good and holy men, albeit harsh at times, but I received a good education, learned how to be tough and survive, and have no complaints. There was never any suggestion of sexual impropriety, and anyone caught indulging in, or even discussing such conduct, would have had their heads knocked off. When we had Saturday night pictures, a brother would stand by the projector and place his hand over the camera during any sexually suggestive or kissing scenes. To have been sexually abused by a brother would have been unthinkable. Those were the Christian brothers.
For 26 long years the UN and their tame media have promoted their expensive annual climate carnivals. This month they will flock to Glasgow for COP 26 but they will not arrive on Shetland ponies, penny farthings or sailing boats - hydro-carbon energy will get most of them there and keep them warm and well fed.
"I love everything that's old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine," says Mr. Hardcastle in Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer. I am sure that Hardcastle speaks for many of us. It's fun to remember.
Australia has decided it’s best to accelerate the production of a more capable, integrated, nuclear-powered submarine platform with the US and the UK. Apparently, this is going to keep us safe from those pesky Chinese. It has left the French legless with rage.
I can't see the CCP shaking in their boots at the thought of the mighty Australian navy in a decade or two. It's a funny thing but I doubt that it will matter a great deal if a few subs - whether they are powered by nuclear, diesel or a sturdy pair of scuba divers will worry China one jot.

What on earth have we allowed to happen to our country? The Australian Labor Party has become a bunch of leftie loonies and the once great party of Sir Robert Menzies is no better... a group of leftist opinion poll followers who are in actual fact no better than the Drovers Dog doing the shepherds bidding

In the 1880’s shearers wielded a lot of influence on our country. Despite us not yet being a single united nation, in the various states where wool growing was the major industry militant unionism arose with great co-operation between the various state organisations.
In those days, shearers and general farm workers were numerous. Wool was the biggest export commodity of most of the states but the working conditions of those who produced this golden fleece were poor. Are we any richer today?

Vladimir Zelenko is an Ukrainian-American family physician known for promoting a three drug cocktail of hydroxychloroquine, zinc sulfate and azithromycin as part of an experimental outpatient treatment for COVID-19 that he has promoted as the Zelenko Protocol.
He was recently informed that he has a short time to live and is speaking out against the enforced vaccination of people around the world. This article is to inform you about his work and his messages for us all. He is also in hiding for fear for his life - what little is left - and that of his family. Make of it what you will.
