I used to regularly look forward to watching Alan Kohler’s financial report on the ABC news each evening. But when the global financial crisis hit, I suddenly realised that even he didn’t know what was going on. Fast forward to 2020 and I’m having that strange sense of déjà vu—all over again—as I watch him spruik the benefits of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). While MMT is not without its critics, it has become increasingly fashionable, especially amongst those employed by our national broadcaster. In case you might have missed it, the ABC has produced the following promotional video featuring Kohler…

It might surprise the self-righteous, COVID-1984 surveillance and speech police, that Australia’s Health Minister, Greg Hunt, has been funding research into the “controversial” drug hydroxychloroquine.

Silencing political opponents is the mission of the Left. And the silenced majority only shows the extent and effectiveness of their conquest. Now is the time, not only to take risks and speak the truth, but also to defend to the death all those who do.

Whether you love him, loathe him, or are indifferent towards him, it was hard to ignore the applause for Trump’s Keystone speech, in South Dakota. It’s not hard to see why Keystone was so popular either. Although I had more of an issue with what the leftist Episcopalian denomination does with the Bible, Keystone was a big bounce back from Trump’s admittedly cheesy (if understandably necessary, given the context) photo in front of the damaged-by-“peaceful protesters”, historic St. John’s Church. Not a highlight of the Trump presidency, but with his hands tied behind his back, who can really blame him?…

A powerful speech is circulating on social media of a Cuban immigrant warning America that the political Left are ‘communists’ bent on destroying the nation with false promises of free education and free health care. According to the Daily Wire, Maximo Alvarez, president of Sunshine Gasoline Distributors, came to the United States over 60 years ago after escaping communist Cuba. Alvarez issued his passionate warning during a round table with President Donald Trump last week, urging Americans to understand what’s happening in the country and not be “useful idiots.” “I remember all the promises that we hear today, about free…

Rapper Kanye West has said Planned Parenthood clinics have been placed inside cities by “white supremacists” to carry out the “devil’s work.” West made the comments to Forbes last week during his first interview since announcing his plans to run for President. “Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work,” he said. West went on to say: “I am pro-life because I’m following the word of the Bible.” Planned Parenthood, an organisation that performs a third of all abortions in the United States, responded to West’s remarks in a statement to TMZ on…

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Tuesday called for the “dismantling” of the United States “economy and political systems.” Omar made the comments during a speech delivered in her home state of Minnesota to leaders of the Minnesota People of Color and Indigenous Caucus. In a tweet posted prior to the event, Omar said the speech was a call to address “racism in policing and reform our criminal justice system” following the death of George Floyd. “As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this…

The state of California has placed a temporary ban on singing and chanting in churches in and effort to curb the spread of coronavirus. California’s Department of Public Health announced the ban on Wednesday, warning that singing increased the likelihood of transmission through “contaminated exhaled droplets.” “Activities such as singing and chanting negate the risk reduction achieved through six feed of physical distancing,” the guidelines state. “Places of worship must therefore discontinue singing and chanting activities and limit indoor attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower.” The Sacramento Bee reports: “Health agencies…

A whistle-blower from a company employed by Facebook to manage content on the site has released undercover footage documenting the deliberate censorship of conservatives on the platform. In a video released last week by Project Veritas, former Cognizant employee Zach McElroy admitted that 75-to-80 percent of posts selected by Facebook’s algorithm for moderator review support President Donald Trump, Republicans and Conservative causes. Follow Caldron Pool on Facebook, Twitter, and Parler! The damning footage captured Facebook content moderators bragging about deleting pro-Trump and pro-conservative content while being protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This means that Facebook are not meant to…

Eric Abetz (LNP) is proving to be no mediocre politician. His speech from July last year remains relevant, making it one of the best ever entered into the Australian senate’s Hansard.[i] This year the Senator for Tasmania provided us with a sequel. Speaking about ‘Political Discourse’ Abetz went head to head with cancel culture and the Left’s double standards. The speech highlighted Queensland University Law professor, James Allen’s piece for The Australian on the June, 16. He gave a long list of examples where people were being bullied into submission, and their livelihoods cancelled because of a small, boisterous percentage…

Jackie Trad is one of the most aggressive, personal politicians in the nation, not only behind the scenes and in the halls of power, but also in front of the camera and online. It’s odd then she is now complaining about feeling a little bruised by the gladiatorial nature in which she has played the game of professional politics. In her first interview since resigning from her role as Deputy Premier, Treasurer and many other portfolios of power due to the latest integrity scandal involving her, she seems surprised to explain “her outspoken progressive views – including a successful push to reform abortion…

Police in New Zealand have been given the power to enter private homes without a warrant in order to ensure people are following coronavirus restrictions. The COVID-19 Public Health Response Bill was rushed through Parliament on Wednesday in time for alert level 2, passing 63 votes to 57. The passing of the bill comes despite the Human Rights Commission saying it’s “deeply concerned” about the lack of scrutiny due to the rushed process. “There has been no input from ordinary New Zealanders, which is deeply regrettable,” said chief human rights commissioner Paul Hunt. Mr Hunt warned the new legislation gives…

New Zealand’s Prime Minister will meet with Australia’s COVID Cabinet in a bid to discuss, and secure a plan, allowing restricted travel to and from New Zealand into Australia, and vice versa. They’re calling the plan a “trans-Tasman bubble”. The idea is designed to help reestablish contact with other nations, and give New Zealand’s COVID-19 counter-measure shattered, tourism-dependent economy a reboot. Nine News reports that the heavily policed measure should be operational in time for New Zealand’s September ski season. According to the report, “almost 40 per cent of international arrivals to New Zealand are from Australia, heavily contributing to…

There’s a scene in the HBO mini-series, Chernobyl, that bears an uncanny similarity to the current communist cover-up involving COVID-19. The context is just after the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl on Saturday 26, April 1986 and the local apparatchiks who are trying to mitigate the panic that is about to occur when the true gravity of the disaster is revealed.  Note in particular what is said by the oldest member of the communist nomenclature bringing his other comrades to a standing ovation: Now the State tell us the situation here is not dangerous. Have faith, comrades. The State tell…

What makes Leftist media outlets, jumping to the defence of billionaire Bill Gates extraordinary, is the spin these media manipulators are putting on public concerns over the billionaire’s very public reemergence, since COVID-19 burst onto the global scene. Author, and popular podcast host, Alley Stuckey gave this sharp relief when she asked, “Is it not weird that the same people who think billionaires are evil seem to trust and adore Bill Gates?” Is it not weird that the same people who think billionaires are evil seem to trust and adore Bill Gates? — Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) April 15, 2020…

As we’ve seen in recent weeks, the Australian Greens, the American Democrats, Extinction Rebellion and the Chinese Communist regime have attached their self-proclaimed sinless benevolence to the coronavirus crisis. Ignoring the fact that they waved dim-witted “you can’t do that, it’s racist” flags all over the media in response to early anti-coronavirus measures, sharp-witted governments put in place to stop the coronavirus. False accusations of racism which targeted travel bans top this list. Comparing the devastating toll in Italy with the relatively low impact of COVID-19 on Japan’s population, Mark Powell was right to note that Italy was invaded, and…

There’s a thin line between governments waging a war against a crisis, and governments waging a war against people caught up in that crisis. It’s the crossing of this line; the potential, and perhaps eventual, overreaction through disproportionate measures, that have sparked an increasing number of centrist and conservative thinkers to question these heavy-handed measures, along with anything, and everything, labelled “the new normal”. The more we learn about the coronavirus, the more important it is to question whether the heavy-handed measures being taken against the coronavirus are proportionate to the fight against it. Peter Hitchens was the first to…
