This Is the First Protest in History in Which Protestors Protested Against People Who Agree With Them
MANY are saying the events of the past fortnight – with marches against racism being held around the world – constitute a historic moment. I disagree. I don’t think much has actually happened. Scratch beneath the sound and fury of the protests and what have you got? A proposal to defund the police? An idea so irresponsible it could only be imagined by people whom police had kept safe long enough to become so incredibly stupid. So what are we left with? My social media feed is filled with posts from friends, who have always believed racism is wrong, affirming…
Rowan Dean Slams Authorities Following Huge BLM Protests: ‘Either There Is a Pandemic or There Isn’t… Was It All Just a Con?’
Rowan Dean of Sky News has slammed state authorities after Black Lives Matter protests went ahead in cities across Australia over the weekend in defiance of coronavirus social distancing rules. “Either there is a pandemic or there isn’t,” Dean said. “Either our governments had the right to lock us down or they didn’t. Yesterday the premiers made a mockery of this nation and the loyalty of its people. Of you and of me… “If the pandemic is real then our most vulnerable Indigenous Australians now have a potential death sentence hanging over them. So much for ‘Black Lives Matter.’ Clearly…
If Protesters Can Protest, Worshipers Can Worship
IF Black Lives Matter protests go ahead across Australia this weekend, Christian churches must advise authorities, en masse, that they will resume worship services the following weekend. If State Premiers allow thousands of people to march through city streets & gather shoulder-by-shoulder in city squares, there is no good reason places of worship should not reopen. This would have been ill-advised just a week ago, but the national mood has now changed. A week ago, if churches had said they would be opening regardless of lockdown laws, they would have been condemned by the media as irresponsible. But the media,…
The solidarity of suffering: From racism to empathy
The solidarity of suffering is a field of mutuality that lies unexplored. It’s all to easily drowned out by the noise and antipathy of protest. The online activity of the masses, from anonymous activist to celebrity conformist, misses the opportunity to untie the tangled pathos that cements individuals into collectives, and brands them as possessions of “party-lines.” Not all human suffering is equal, but all human suffering is equally painful. To exist as if another person has no idea about what suffering is, is to dismiss suffering. Take for example, a family with a history filled with conflict and abuse.…
Linda Sarsour: “If you’re Muslim, you’re political… President Trump is a fascist, but Muhammad was a human rights activist… and Islam has always been a feminist religion.”
Last month Muslim activist Linda Sarsour gave a speech in Sacramento in which she urged Muslims to become political because “Muhammad was a human rights activist,” and Trump a fascist. The self-described “Islamophobe’s worst nightmare” went on to claim that Islam has always been an “anti-racist, feminist, and empowering religion,” and that our modern understanding of human rights are unnecessary because Islam already teaches these things. Sarsour explained: “I go to a lot of mosques or community centers and this is what they say to me. They say: ‘Sister Linda, we know that you’re very political, but in my mosque,…
Why Christians Should Be Wary of Another U.S. Military ‘Solution’
“For Christians, the deeper issue is not merely whether intervention ‘works’ by secular metrics. It is the worldly temptation to impose our will on other countries through carnal, imperial means… The modern record shows that these ventures reliably make life worse at home and abroad.”
WA Announces $85,000 Payouts for Stolen Generations
“The scheme will provide compensation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families in Western Australia before July 1, 1972.”
The Hypocrisy of the New Left: From Microaggressions to Genocide Apologia
“Where once they saw racism in a White person’s failure to use the correct pronoun, they now see ‘complexity’ in calls for genocide. Where once they condemned a poorly worded tweet as evidence of systemic hate, they now urge us to ‘understand the historical context’ of songs that glorify murder.”
Trump’s Unflinching Mirror: South Africa’s Uncomfortable Truths
“Trump’s courage lies not in the precision of his terminology but in his willingness to broach this subject at all, knowing the denigration it would draw from a media that sees no fault in South Africa’s post-apartheid project.”
Fallen Means and God: Women Pastors
“Just because God can work through these fallen means does not mean we should encourage it.”

Wokeshevism: Putin’s Critique of ‘Western Bolshevism’
“The new Western leaders are notoriously woke globalists, demonstrating increasingly Christophobic inclinations. And this precisely so at the very moment that Russia has decidedly embarked on a new phase of proud restoration of its rich Orthodox values and traditions.”
The Faith of Vladimir Putin and Russia’s Exceptionalism
“The Orthodox faith… is considered a key element of what Putin calls ‘Russia’s moral foundations.’ These key elements are patriotism and Orthodox Christianity. These are, according to him, the moral foundations of Russia’s identity…”
The Hatred of “Whiteness” Is a Hatred of Christianity
“It’s an evil ideology that turns the idea of God-blessed obedience on its head. It says Western prosperity is not the fruit of righteousness, but the result of sin.”
Believe, Go to Church, Get Married
“When was the last time, in this debate about men and violence, did you hear someone in our current leadership invite us ‘To reflect on the charity and hope that is embedded in our society based on the faith of the Christians’?”
‘The Gospel According to Marx’: The Tragic History of the Catholic Church in Brazil
“…the interest that extremists have in infiltrating the Catholic Church is not so difficult to explain. No revolutionary undertaking can be successful in a deeply religious society like Brazil without the support of the powerful Catholic clergy.”
The Far-Left Takeover of Daycare: “Working in Childcare Is a Political Act”
“In other words, working in childcare is not about educating kids, it’s about indoctrinating them, and denouncing colleagues who say otherwise!”
Man-Made Global Famine: “You Will Own Nothing, and You Will Be Starving!”
“Control the food supply and you control the people but control the money supply and you control the whole world. Of course, controlling the money supply also directly affects the food supply. We may very soon experience a reality of apocalyptic proportions.”
Threatening to Kill Yourself if People Won’t Change Can Be Abuse
“If ‘Trans Lives Matter,’ and they do, then is it fair for politicians, media heads, and activists to misdiagnose the problem of self-harm and suicide by continually pinning it on their Bible-believing grandmother and her local church? Is it not rather exploitative to accuse Christians of ‘murdering trans kids’ in an effort to pass legislation that would pressure believers to abandon their convictions?”
Greens MP Shares Platform With Marxists at Anti-Christian Protest
“Apparently, the sight of Christian men praying in public is so disturbing to some that they see it as a threat to their existence.”
