SOMEONE CALLED THROUGH THE GATHERING STORM

Tc Nguyen

Someone called through the gathering storm. 

Rules based order.

Their rules.

Says it all really. 

They wished to orchestrate the flow of thought. They infiltrated themselves into everything. 

These were the angry mob. These were the places in between. They were the gathering storm. 

The collusion between the storm troopers of the Australian left and Muslim ideology grew more rank by the passing day; sacrificing, as they were so willing to do, the traditional decencies of the country. 

CONTROVERSIAL activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied, who infuriated Australians with her infamous Anzac Day tweet last year, has won a coveted free speech award.
Human rights group Liberty Victoria yesterday announced that Ms Abdel-Magied was awarded the 2018 Young Voltaire Award for being a “role model” to young women, Muslims and migrants.
The former ABC presenter, who moved to London last year after claiming to be the most hated Muslim in Australia, took to social media after receiving the prize to silence her haters.

While the population of the country ran away with itself. 
And nothing would ever be the same again. 
There was no plan. 
There were simply half-hatched plans perpetrated by the half-educated, pouring out of the institutions and determined to fight their social justice agendas. Their insanities, drilled into their brains by their Marxist lecturers. Anything to destroy the country that once was.
They reached out in the gathering storm. 
"I've been injected with the God Molecule," Old Alex said, apropos of absolutely nothing, as he gazed out across the lake, the trees drifting in the late summer heat. 
We could have rescued you. We should have rescued you. 
They had their victims of choice. Refugees. People of Colour. Women. Muslims.
They divided the world into race, and talked endlessly of identity. 
He gazed yet further through the filtering sky. 
And still they came, the queue of lunacies. The Runaway Population. The impending madness.

MALCOLM TURNBULL DONATES $30 MILLION TO 'SMART AND SUSTAINABLE' CITIES IN ASIA
Our own cities are a mess, exploding with migration-fuelled population growth, congestion and infrastructure shortages, yet at the ASEAN conference in Sydney today, Malcolm Turnbull has given $30 million to help with planning ideas for Asian cities.
It's a slap in the face for every Australian forced to sit in traffic jams and unnecessarily spend time away from their families. If Asian urban planners are looking for 'Smart and Sustainable' ideas for their cities, have they heard of the Internet?
Turnbull and his wife Lucy (who was given a plum job on Sydney's Planning Commission) have said they want '30 minute cities' in Australia, so no one has to travel more than 30 minutes to get to their workplace. That means we will all need a helicopter! The Turnbulls have no idea about life in the suburbs.
And now they have given our money away to Asian cities, to achieve the things we haven't yet achieved in Australia.
Mark Latham.

When the only ones who make sense are the feral dogs.

He heard their names ceaselessly. 

There in the dying fall of decency. The country had been sold down the river. And we weren't even lapping in the shadows. A terrible thing has happened. 

Old Alex was out of place, and out of time. Forty years ago in a play he had written called The Police Commissioner's Grandmother, one of the characters had said, in the denouement of the action: 

For me, they were good years, getting to know those people They were so warm and alive and affectionate towards each other in comparison to the people that I had grown up with. They were all, in a way, suicide bent. But I loved them all. I loved their madness, their intensity. I loved their laughter. Oh how I miss them, now that I have left them, and retreated back into the suburbia from which I came. 

THE BIGGER STORY: 

Five years ago Australia played a key role in drafting and negotiating the UN Arms Trade Treaty in order, as the government announced at the time, “to reduce the impact of armed violence on communities around the world”.
Five weeks ago Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced his “vision” for Australia to become one of the top ten weapons exporting countries in the world. Rather than visionary, it struck me as grotesque.
This regression from good global citizen to swaggering deputy sheriff reflects the contradictions at the heart of our foreign policy.
Australia played a role some years ago in weakening the language of the cluster munitions ban treaty to allow exclusions for interoperability and transit of cluster munitions, and we refused to participate in the UN nuclear ban treaty negotiations last year, despite a strong track record of championing nuclear disarmament.
Ours is a country which has blindly followed the US into wars in Vietnam and Iraq that have been calamitous and yet (unlike the UK) we have failed to examine our contribution to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people and in creating a vastly less secure world. And (again, unlike the UK) our country has refused to implement war powers’ reform to ensure that only the Australian Parliament, not the PM alone, has the power to send Australian troops overseas to fight in wars.
Today, visitors to the nation’s capital are confronted at the airport with enormous advertisements for defence contractors and arms manufacturers. Whereas other countries might showcase their natural environment and their tourist attractions at the airport, here we show off tanks, ships and missiles.
What kind of image does this project to the rest of the world? What does the PM’s “vision” to be one of the world’s top arms exporters say about Australia’s role and intentions in the world going forward? That instead of seeing our role as a good global citizen, promoting peace, prosperity and respect for human rights, we seek to increase the manufacture and sales of weapons that cause death, injury and destruction? It is particularly abhorrent that the government has identified the Middle East, much of which is presently mired in conflict, as a “priority market”.
