Living in the real Outback of Australia is like confronting yourself with yourself. Seeing yourself for who you are. It is like meeting yourself as a stranger and wondering if you will like that person.
It was back in the 1990's that I met Albert. A quiet man who had shunned the city and, after a trip to Brisbane in 1949, decided that the big lights were not for him. He returned to the Channel Country and never left again.
A few months ago, the Democrats were short on money and needed to boost their campaign coffers. Staggering to read today that they raised over $300 million in August, outstripping their July figure of $140 million. Not bad. Not bad at all.
I am wondering how much of that money is dirty money funneled through Black Lives Matter over the recent months of riots across America.

New Zealand was supposed to show the world how the pandemic could be halted. The island nation largely avoided the first wave of the outbreak in March on the account of its remoteness and the hasty imposition of border controls. As the novel COVID-19 virus ravaged its way across the vulnerable populations of Asia, Europe, and North America, New Zealand locked down its entire society.
“No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous” ~ Edgar Allan Poe, Masque of the Red Death
On March 22, the nation’s government announced a month of sheltering in place. The order came from on high with the stroke of a pen, without legislative deliberation or even the process of law. Enforcement persisted for nine days despite having no legal justification – just an illegal executive decree by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Months would pass before the country’s high court censured this abrogation of democratic governance. It did not matter. Ardern’s actions were “unlawful, but justified” to halt the pandemic, the bold actions of a “hero” who knew better than her own people.
For the next month New Zealand operated under the strictest lockdowns in the world, surpassing even communist China at the peak of its Wuhan region quarantine. The country reached an astounding 96.3 out of 100 points on the Oxford lockdown stringency index.
California leads the way to electricity blackouts, closely followed by South Australia.
They both created this problem by taxing, banning, delaying or demolishing reliable coal, nuclear, gas or hydro generators while subsidising and promoting unreliable electricity from the sickly green twins - solar and wind. All supposed to solve a global warming crisis that exists only in academic computer models.
Energy policy should be driven by proven reliability, efficiency and cost, not by green politics.
It’s a Rat Circus out there
The simmering pot has come to the boil and it is not going to end well for me and you or them and theirs.
Throughout the western world, the pot of Socialism has been simmering away for years. In 2020, someone decided to turn up the heat and the pot has started to boil with such ferocity that, unless someone turns the heat down – or better still – throws it in the bin , it will set the house on fire and there will be nothing left of our previous lives.
The scenes from places like Kenosha in Wisconsin bring to mind scenes from a dystopian Science Fiction Novel - much like the movie from 1979, Madmax.

Gage Skidmore is an American photographer known primarily for photographing American politicians.
James Carville says Trump is the greatest threat to America since the fall of communism.
It is easy to laugh away such a declaration, but I think there is an invaluable truth expressed. Trump is as important in stature as the United States’ most formidable military and political opponent of the twentieth century.
Trumpism as an ideological force has the mass and acceleration of a Soviet Empire that threatened to conquer the world. Nobody speaks about the Bush Doctrine in such terms. Nobody confuses the Obama Doctrine or the Carter Doctrine as projecting that kind of power. Yet here we are, just three years after the election, and somehow the belittled and mocked hotel owner from Queens has stumbled into creating a movement that matches in strength and potency what took Marx, Lenin, and Stalin over a century to perfect. Consider the fear that Carville and his ilk must harbor about what is to come.
What does he see that makes him tremble so? In a word, greatness.
These are very trying times. The pattern of life has changed , no exciting things to took forward to. The winter visits we looked forward to with family and friends visiting from the south chasing our milder weather. Driving up with their caravans, calling in to say hello, catching up on the news . Of course we miss the everyday activities we used to take for granted. But most of all we miss the very much looked forward to visit from our sons, daughters and family .
All over the Western world ever since 9/11 there have been incremental steps towards what many liberty advocates would call a “police state”; a system in which governments are no longer restricted by the boundaries of civil liberties and are given the power to do just about anything they want in the name of public safety. The use of “the law” as a tool for injecting tyranny into a culture is the first tactic of all totalitarians.
The idea is that by simply writing government criminality into the law books, that criminality somehow becomes justified by virtue of legal recognition. It's all very circular. Whenever government abuse of the people is initiated, it's always initiated in the name of what's “best for society as a whole”. To save society, the individuals that make up a society must be sublimated or destroyed. This mentality is the complete opposite of what the Founding Fathers in America fought and died for, but as Thomas Jefferson once said:
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”

Back in the 70's, I saw a cross dressing male heterosexual win the support of people who - in today's PC correct days, should not have stood a chance in hell. He won the support of the Police Union. Not a bad feat for someone who, back then, was seen as bit " different. "
All of the people who question their sexual orientation today and are gender confused or angry at the so called lack of tolerance of people who are a bit different need to learn about this remarkable man and reflect. Are you gender confused? Or are you just a unique person with a different slant on life? Maybe you just need to be a bit more like Rob Moodie. A man who wore kaftans and dressed as Alice in Wonderland to go to the High Court.
Here was a bloke, a former copper, politician, lawyer and mayor . A man who was the former Secretary of the Police Union and fought to look after Police in troubled times.
All of this rubbish that we hear today and see today about the Conservatives that hate people who are part of a minority need to have a look at Mr Rob Moodie, alias Alice in Wonderland.
A heterosexual man who was happily married with 3 children and liked to wear women’s clothes.

Have you noticed in the TV news clips of teachers and students protesting in the streets supporting movements like BLM and other misguided fads. Many of them looked as if they came from a CFMEU picket line.
Irrelevant? I think not. Back in the old days when such erstwhile fundamentals as literacy and numeracy were still of prime importance and education had not been hijacked as a convenience for teachers, as opposed to a service for students, far more than imparting knowledge was involved.
Education had a commendable role in imposing a code of behaviour, of setting standards of conduct, of leading by example. This benefitted even those students who were not otherwise getting the best out of their schooling. It helped instil the essential elements of character forming.
