Mainstream media are revelling like pigs in mud with the sensational headlines they get to write this week about One Nation. The big story is James Ashby and Steve Dickson flew to America to meet with lobbyists and were secretly recorded discussing potential policies and donations. Apparently, it’s business as normal when the major parties do it, but outrageous when One Nation does. Or is it only scandalous because the topic was every authoritarian’s favourite policy: government restrictions on law-abiding firearms owners; and the lobbyist was the NRA? Gun regulation is a darling of the leftist media complex internationally and…

Back in August 2016, in an article called, “Why Trump is not Hitler, & Why Evangelical Americans are Not German Christians”, I argued that the more pressing danger was Turkey’s, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the fanaticism surrounding him. His recent decision to use the tragic pro-Communist, eco-Fascist attacks in New Zealand, as a political whip, particularly against Australians, only furthers the point I attempted to make. The piece was written in response to the large amount of naysayers who were predicting another Holocaust if Donald Trump was to win the 2016 United States Presidential race. Equating Trump with Hitler was…

Karl Barth and Roger Scruton make unlikely conversation partners. Barth, was a Reformed Swiss theologian, who held up the distinction between theology and philosophy, and Scruton, is a British philosopher, talks theology, but knows his limits on the subject. The meeting between the two takes place in Barth’s On Religion and Scruton’s, The West and All the Rest. Together they provide a telescopic view of modern religio-politics and the socio-political landscape of contemporary Western society. One big theme for Scruton is the relationship between the ‘social contract’ and Creed communities[note]This term is attributed to Oswald Spengler, The Decline of The West.[/note]…

The attack on Masjid Al Nor and Linwood Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand was horrific. The loss of life, the changed lives and the many painful years of grieving to come for the victims involved – all of it heartbreaking. The world, as we’re told, now stands in mourning for the innocent lives taken. Social media is saturated with comments from those in disbelief, to those looking to show solidarity, or outrage, and those who see the attack on the Mosque in New Zealand, as an opportunity to further their own self-interest. We are witnessing, and no doubt will witness,…

Nasrin Sotoudeh, a renowned human rights lawyer who dedicated her life to defending Iranian women, has been sentenced in Iran to 38-years jail and 148 lashes, according to her husband. Sotoudeh’s lawyer said, she was arrested in June and charged with spying, spreading propaganda and insulting Iran’s supreme leader. In 2010 Sotoudeh served half of a six-year sentence after she was convicted of spreading propaganda and conspiring to harm state security. A day after her sentencing, the United Nations appointed the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN Women’s rights committee which judges complaints of women’s rights violations. According to…

Social media giants are deleting Tommy Robinson from the internet, but why? Within 24-hours of posting his latest documentary online, Robinson was permanently banned from both Facebook and Instagram. There’s obviously something that Robinson is saying that they don’t want us to hear, but is it just mean words, ‘Islamophobia’, or some vague idea of ‘hate speech’? Why is there such a concentrated effort to ‘take down Tommy Robinson’? WATCH:

What’s the difference between an abusive Muslim preacher and a peaceful Christian preacher? Well, for starters, it appears the Metropolitan Police will only tolerate one. Leave.Eu have put together the following video comparison after an elderly Christian man was arrested outside Southgate tube station in London for “disturbing people” with his Christian message. WATCH: The internet is a glorious invention!!! Watch this video that was put together by @LeaveEUOfficial. See how the UK police treat Muslim preacher vs how they treated our Christian preacher. Dear @metpoliceuk pls be better. Thanks @LeaveEUOfficial for this!pic.twitter.com/a4WypcY3by — Obianuju Ekeocha (@obianuju) February 24, 2019

More than 2,500 Muslims have signed a petition calling on Marks and Spencers to stop selling toilet rolls “deliberately insulting” Islam. “They have the word ‘Allah’ written in arabic on their aloe vera toilet rolls,” the creator of the petition said. The claim was initially made in a video posted on YouTube which has so far attracted just over 24,000 views. M&S responded to the criticism on Twitter saying: “The motif on the aloe vera toilet tissue, which we have been selling for over five years, is categorically of an aloe vera leaf and we have investigated and confirmed this…

The provocative quote of the week goes to, Charles Spurgeon: “Be a good hater.” The statement, “be a good hater” is a challenge to resist evil (James 4L7). To resist the morality of the tyrant or the ‘crowd which has no hands’ (Kierkegaard, The Crowd is Untruth)[note]Kierkegaard S. 1847 The Crowd is Untruth sourced from CCEL.org[/note] In context, it means: to abhor evil: to regard it with extreme repugnance. [In Latin, “abhor” is Odium: with hostility; “repugnance”: resist, be an adversary of evil.] Our present age has an almost absolute fear of hate, yet most would agree that “let love be genuine.…

The problem with Australian politics is the paradox of a lack of clear choices and a context of unprecedented polarisation. If I can even be so naive as to suggest there is only one problem, or even only one main problem, optimism about political debate and futures could be greatly improved simply by the major parties clearly distinguishing themselves from each other. There’s a common frustration about both parties being nearly indistinguishable. MPs in the parties often feel this is unfair, especially those further from the centre, and their feelings are not without merit. But neither are the comparisons. For…

Born out of conversations with a friend from the United States, I was given the opportunity to read a compilation of fragments and essays written by Simone Weil called: ‘Oppression and Liberty’. The compilation flows in chronological order and presents some of Weil’s thoughts on anthropology, economics, politics, ideology and war. Simone was a French intellectual. Like Jacques Ellul, whom she presumably never met, Weil worked in the French resistance and was well schooled in Marxism. Among many others in the elite French communist circles of mid 20th Century, she was a contemporary of rebel and excommunicated member, Albert Camus.…

Young women who have been forced into Muslim marriages overseas are being charged by the UK’s Foreign Office for the cost of their rescue. The Times revealed yesterday, “British victims who call for help are told that they have to find hundreds of pounds for their flight home, basic food and shelter.” The report went on to say, “Any who are over 18 and cannot pay are made to sign emergency loan agreements with the Foreign Office before boarding their flight home and have their passports confiscated until they repay.” If the loan is not repaid after six months a…

The 2016 Australian Census revealed 52.1 per cent of the population identified as Christian, while only 2.6 per cent subscribed to Islam, and at least 30 per cent noted that they had no religion. Despite the plurality of ideologies in Australia, it’s not uncommon to hear people claim that Australia is a secular nation. What’s often meant is that Christianity has no place in politics. Which is a sentiment usually summed up in the now misunderstood phrase, “Separation of Church and State.” As Dr Stephen Chavura recently noted, there’s a common misconception that separation of church and state means religion…

Muslims in Belle Glade, Florida say they’re planning on acquiring a public school in order to “educate” children as young as six weeks old in the Quran. “From six weeks old we will have them,” the men said. “From six weeks old, nap time, listening to the Quran. Sisters’ uniform, hijab… You start with the babies and then all the way up to high school. This is the intention for this facility here.” “Bring your kids to Islamic schools,” they went on to say. “Their kids will convert, and the entire family will convert to Islam… We can demonstrate it…

Apple CEO Tim Cook has suggested it would be a “sin” to not censor people on social media who “push division.” In other words, social media CEOs will ban speech they personally find objectionable. In the 2.5-minute clip, Cook said: We only have one message for those who seek to push hate, division, and violence: You have no place on our platforms. You have no home here. “From the earliest days of iTunes to Apple Music today we have always prohibited music with a message of white supremacy. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. “And as we showed…

In August, Iranian refugee and former Muslim, Ramin Parsa was arrested for trespassing – *coughs* for breaking blasphemy laws – while privately sharing his testimony about becoming a Christian, in a Mall of America, shopping centre in Minnesota. Tyler O’Neil from PJ media reported that while Ramin, now a Christian Pastor living in Los Angeles, was sharing his testimony: Another woman who was not part of the conversation went and complained to the security. The guard came and said, ‘You can’t solicit here.’ He then told them “we were not soliciting”. He just said, ‘Bye,’ and walked away.” After Parsa,…

After being summoned by General George C Marshall on February the 11th, 1942, Hollywood directer, Frank Capra,  famous for ‘It’s a wonderful life’, and ‘You can’t take it with you’, walked into the Pentagon. Before Capra had received the invitation, he had been in the process of reviewing an offer of a partnership which, in his own words ‘would have made him part owner of “United Artists”. Easily placing him in the multi-millionaire class’[note]Capra, F. 1971 The Name Above the Title Da Capo Press p.314[/note] and potentially exempting him from War time service. After wrestling with the decision Capra concluded: Why trade fame,…

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has suggested Australian’s cause Islamic terrorism by defying the demands of Muslims. Speaking of Australia’s intention to move their embassy in Israel, Mahathir said: “I pointed out that in dealing with terrorism, one has to know the causes. Adding to the cause for terrorism is not going to be helpful.” Indonesian politicians made a similar threat. But keep in mind, every year the Australian government hands over $360-million of Australian taxpayer’s money to the ingrates in Indonesia for “foreign aid” purposes, like acquiring Apache attack helicopters worth $400-million. “Australia’s consideration on moving its embassy will…
