Cardinal Pell, the Media Pile-On & Collective Guilt by Gerard […]

Many of the truths about COVID realities are very well hidden indeed. They are buried by clever politicians and devious bureaucrats, by compromised journalists and their media executives. The devil is, as always, in the detail, and the ruling class of today is best-in-show at both concealing the truth and making outcasts of those who dispute the narrative

Euthanasia enthusiasts avoid using the word 'kill' at all costs, just as they delight in creating straw men. Thus do we see the likes of Andrew Denton painting nightmare scenarios of deathbed torment and suffering that exist only in their imaginations. As state after state makes it legal to be rid of the elderly and frail, John Fleming's 'To Kill or Not to Kill' is a witness to truth

As candidate and President, he has thrown hand grenades into the cesspit that is US politics, Here, alas, the closest we have seen is Mark Latham -- someone who infuriates all the right people, talks sense, eschews the hobbles of political correctness and delights in defying the Twitter mob. We could use a few more like him

We have had permanent revolution ever since Gorton, then Whitlam, revolutionised the Australian policy making process. Modern public service departments are the marketing arms of venal, careerist politicians on the make, populated by public relations graduates. Don't expect that to change

In theory, every citizen is free to speak his or mind, just as others enjoy equal access to present their opposing views. The reality is nothing like that, as Margaret Court, Peter Ridd, Israel Folau and so many others roughed up by the Wokeocracy and shunned by useful idiots might tell you
