Green-up exposed

No surprise at the hypocrisy and the political leanings, and some satisfaction that I am still bothering them:

The chairwoman of activist group GetUp! campaigned for the Greens during the federal elect­ion, calling into question its claim to publicly support no political party, and provoking outcry from conservative politicians.

GetUp!’s chairwoman Sarah Maddison, an academic and ­author, used social media service Twitter to urge support for the Greens...

Jew-hatred is for losers

Jew-hatred surfaces again at the Olympics:

Olympic officials say an Egyptian judo athlete has been reprimanded and sent home after refusing to shake his Israeli opponent’s hand.

The International Olympic Committee says Islam El Shehaby received a “severe reprimand” for his behaviour following his first-round heavyweight bout loss to Or Sasson on Friday…





The IOC says the Egyptian Olympic Committee also “strongly condemned” El Shehaby’s actions “and...

Reflections on the revolution in Australia. Be there

The Edmund Burke’s Club of Melbourne is holding its second annual conference on the political philosophy of Edmund Burke on Saturday, November 19.

Book here.

Speakers: Dr. Robert Andrews, Dr. Steve Chavura, Will Church and Gerard Wilson. 

Book on the mend

My book is on an odyssey, visiting the skulls of Montpellier, Shanghai, Croatia, Ho Chi Minh City, Santorini, London, Lake Como, Ithaca, Scotland, the Bay of Naples, Dubrovnik, Fiji, Aileron, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, the Andes, a christening in Newcastle, the Northern Territory, the Whitsundays, Kalgoorlie and Condabri, Queensland, before invading Australia’s most Left-wing Parliament - an experience which convinced one reader at the...

French-speaking, Raspail-loving handwriting sleuth wanted

American journalist Sasha Polakow-Suransky very kindly got Jean Raspail, now aged 91, to autograph for me a copy of his prophetic and brave Camp of the Saints, which 43 years ago predicted the existential threat that mass immigration from the Third World would pose to Europe.

(I also recommend his equally penetrating Who Will Remember the People..., set in Patagonia but with hard lessons for us in Australia, too, faced with another culture inevitably dying...

Tips for Tuesday, August 16

Tell us the news.

UPDATE

My editorial from the latest The Bolt Report - We’re mad as hell about this censorship and aren’t going to put up with it any more:

On The Bolt Report and radio tonight

On The Bolt Report on Sky News Live at 7pm tonight: 

Editorial: The new censorship. Australians are as mad as hell and can’t take any more.

My guests:

Senator David Leyonhjelm on complaining to the Human Rights Commission for being called an “angry white man”.

Nick Folkes, spokesman of the anti-Muslim group that invaded the Anglican church at Gosford.

In Our Nation, Peta Credlin returns! So does a Malcolm Turnbull thought-bubble....

Gay groups refuse to condemn the creed that kills them

Last year:

In January, the Islamic State threw two men off a tall building in Iraq for the “crime” of being gay.

In February, they threw another gay man off a building, this time in Syria and, when he somehow survived, had a crowd stone him to death.

IS is in a war against gays — not just against Jews, Christians and any Muslim thought insufficiently devout.

But what have our main gay representatives — largely Left-leaning — said in response to...

The real racists aren’t the cops

Protesters grab another excuse to be violent - and racist:

A Milwaukee policeman whose fatal shooting of a suspect sparked overnight rioting in the U.S. Midwestern city appeared to have acted lawfully after the man turned toward him with a gun in his hand, Police Chief Edward Flynn said on Sunday.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker activated the state’s National Guard in case of more violence in response to the death of Sylville K. Smith, 23, who was shot...

Can we all just let each other get on with our own business?

Idiots. As bad as the far-Left:

A far-right nationalist group that links itself to Pauline Hanson stormed a church service on Sunday dressed in mock Muslim attire and chanting anti-Islamic slogans, leaving some members of the congregation “deeply traumatised”.

But “deeply traumatised” and the dragging in of Pauline Hanson is over the top.

We have here simply extremely rude people who should leave others alone.

UPDATE

Will the media take the same...
