Can you help keep Patriotrealm on line?
When I tell people I’m a beek, inevitably the first thing they say is, “Yes, we need to save the bees! They’re very important!”. While totally true, it is a noble statement that I cannot claim. I was dragged into beekeeping, kicking and screaming… well almost.

It is interesting to think about the various factors which influenced us as children … our first days at school, our early reading matter, so many new experiences which shaped our development. Depending on our present age, the answers to these questions will vary greatly.
From Cane Fields to Comic books and beyond, I am proud to have lived my life surrounded by heroes.
No matter where we come from, we have wonder in our eyes and joy in our hearts and that wonder and joy must be cherished and protected. Even if it means learning by rote and worshipping comic book heroes.
I received this email some time ago.
What do we make anymore? All we do now is rely on Royalties from exporting our minerals so that others can profit and we then import the value added commodity to our raw materials.
Our State Governments are against our Federal Government and we have become a Nation divided. Are we even a Nation anymore, or just a collection of States who riccochet from one catastrophe to another?
What is it to be Australian today? It seems to me that, sometimes, we are just a collection of fractured and fragmented pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that was disassembled and no one can be bothered to put back together again.

A few days ago, I was pondering what on earth we could do to fight back against this insanity of the rapid takeover of our lives and our rights. Machines appear to control our votes; our voices are being stifled and our ability to fight back is being diminished on a daily basis.
A mere 18 months ago, we still felt we had a say. But it has been revealed that we were being duped, and, under the guise of a rampant deadly virus, those foolish illusions have been stripped away.
Australians cowed by Covid ‘beast’ into more lockdowns, borders closed to tourism till next year & a ‘stop infections at all costs’ attitude. There’s no sign of the legendary Aussie spirit among leaders of a once proud nation.
It used to be that the ‘Aussie battler’ was a cherished ideal among my fellow countrymen and was typified by a rugged, determined, individualistic streak that refused to give in and, even when facing overwhelming odds, fought against them with confidence and no small amount of humour.
What has happened?
I recently lost my wife of over 55 years. Her passing was something that I referred to in a previous post.
Because of the people I have met here on Patriot Realm, I have discovered a way of talking without being concerned about who I am, where I am, or what I am.
I am an older man who has recently lost his wife and found a young cat and Mrs Dodger is very happy with my choice. But the truth is that the cat chose me. I think Mrs Dodger was still going what she always did: making my mind up for me.
President Trump proved that America First policies work WITHOUT needing to use tyrannical government powers or gross unconstitutional overreach, and he did it even in the face of overwhelming opposition and great personal sacrifice.
He singlehandedly woke 75% of Americans up to the idea that all our institutions are corrupted and forced them to reveal themselves, while also doing virtually everything possible to outmaneuver their plans AND overwhelmingly win another election (a huge achievement on its own without which we would have no real claim to take action). He even personally financed the research and effort to show you how they stole the election and delivered the best realistic plan to win going forward.
All this talk of late about critical race theory and the oppression of brown or black people has made me think back to my childhood days when life was never black or white. It was shades of grey and we were all pretty colour blind anyway.
Just yesterday, I spoke with Redhead about DNA, vaccines, manufactured racism and the subject inevitably moved on to its logical conclusion. Moles.
No, I'm not talking about those pesky little varmints who dig holes in other countries ( Australia doesn't have them ) and I am not talking about traitors ( EVERY country has THEM ); no. I am talking about moles. Those black spots - oops - diverse pigmentations that many of us spend much time monitoring and attending skin clinics to have chopped out.

I have always admired the tremendous impact of a few well-chosen words … people such as Winston Churchill, JFK and Martin Luther King were excellent examples …
On Aug 20, 1940, Churchill addressed the House of Commons referring to the ongoing efforts of the Royal Air Force crews who were at the time fighting the Battle of Britain, the pivotal air battle with the German Luftwaffe, as Britain was expecting an invasion. Since this famous speech, the British Royal Air Force pilots who fought in the battle have been known as "The Few".

When our leaders and politicians sign us up to these global accords, declarations and agreements, do they realise what the consequences will be? Decades on, their moment in the sun and on the front page can have far reaching consequences.
One little known, but very impactive decision is now showing us just how damaging these signatures can be. Nearly 50 years ago, Australia signed up to the Lima Declaration.
