By Dr. Frank Ellis. Thanks to Flashman for the tip. This is easily the best description yet of the war being waged against our liberties!
‘..A key difference between the old and the new forms of totalitarianism consists in the fact that control will primarily be psychological and cultural and anti-intellectual rather than overtly violent. Free speech will, therefore, be an absolutely crucial battleground. In my opinion, it is the crucial battleground. The extent to which people are willing to defend the institution of free speech and, as importantly, to exercise the rights thereof will determine whether England survives. It is not enough that the rights of free speech are enshrined in tradition and, in the case of the USA, in the Bill of Rights (1791). These rights must be exercised. I emphasise the need to exercise the rights to free speech since a country whose citizens enjoy the right to free speech but are too frightened to exercise the right because of some implicit or encouraged belief that “one is not permitted to say these things anymore” or “you’re not allowed to say that” cannot be said to enjoy the right to free speech…’  (bold mine. kg)
That’s just a fraction of what he has to say. Brew a coffee, pull up a chair and look your future in the face.

‘..The Un-Fair Campaign addresses what it calls ‘white privilege’ with billboards, posters and online videos assigning guilt to people with taglines like, “Is white skin really fair skin?” and “I am a white man. That’s unfair.” The ads are plastered across a city where 90 percent of the population is Caucasian…’
UPDATE: ‘Ol Remus of the great Woodpile Report has a guest post up over at Francis Porretto’s ‘Liberty’s Torch’ on this. He nails it, as usual.

Richard Fernandez, ‘Belmont Club’:
‘You know there’s a chance that hell has frozen over when you see an article titled “A Stealth Coup d’État in the United States” published in Pravda, quoting Thomas Jefferson and authored by a retired United States Army colonel:
……Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?”
The battle line of the Second American Revolution has been drawn: expose Obama and the entire corrupt system protecting him will also be exposed.
The time for education and persuasion is over. The time for resistance has come….’

18 and 19 year-olds once climbed into tiny, primitive airplanes fitted with these, and flew them in combat. Very young men were also naval officers and they skippered the great tea and wool clippers halfway round the world. We too often excuse rotten behaviour on the basis of a person’s youth.

‘An international team of scientists said Thursday that the Arctic went through ice-free periods of extreme warmth over the past 2.8 million years, based on a new analysis of deep sediment in Russia…
..The sediment reveals periods of extreme warmth that show the polar regions are much more vulnerable to change than previously thought, and are difficult to explain by greenhouse gases alone..’
And you think your Prius is going to stop it? Up the meds!

‘THE UN’s refugee agency has called on Australia to redouble its efforts to find safer ways for asylum seekers to pursue protection in the wake of the latest boat disaster.’
The latest illegal drownees are from Sri Lanka. A functioning civil society. How about the fucking U.N. does something about stopping the export of those trying to bypass Australia’s immigration screening?

‘The EU should “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states, the UN’s special representative for migration has said…
…Mr Sutherland, who is non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International and a former chairman of oil giant BP, heads the Global Forum on Migration and Development..’

One vast, cheap, mobile labour pool, regardless of the consequences and national sovereignty and identity be damned. Lefties are being played for suckers. So much for leftist parties representing the working man, eh? Or perhaps they figure they’ll get lots of new union members this way.

A country fallen so far….and so fast.

’90 missing after asylum boat capsize
Rescue efforts are continuing after a boat carrying 200 people capsized late yesterday halfway between Indonesia and Australia.
Scores are feared drowned in an apparent attempt to reach Australia to seek asylum…’
The vast majority of these people ARE NOT ASYLUM SEEKERS. They’ve paid a lot of money, bypassed intervening countries and destroyed the documentation they used to do that in order to get into Australia. Something made possible  encouraged by the leftist/greens government of Australia.
Let’s call them what they are: Illegal immigrants. And they’re costing the taxpayer a fortune, as well as introducing long-term problems.
