"4. Refugees have a right to keep going until they feel safe. Can't you comprehend they may not feel safe in Malaysia or Indonesia?"

I wonder how safe they felt in the middle of the Timor Sea in some crappy un-seaworthy tub. Not so safe? Well we did them a favour by putting them in seaworthy craft and pointing them back from whence they came. We are so humanitarian.

I also wonder if they feel safe on Naura. No fear of persecution there. Problem solved.

Just saw a photograph of the sign board at the church of that 'turbulent' Left wing Anglican priest in Gosford. It reads:

"Manus Is How The Holocaust Started".

You can't get much nuttier than that!

The left / right / centre paradigm seems logical enough, but is a total load of crap.
It mght've worked 50 years ago when countries were nationalist, and citizens were mostly all on the same page but in the age of globalism it's cancerous and toxic.

Why do I say this?

The idea of the left / right / centre paradigm only works if everyone supports the idea of democracy.
It does not work if the left are 'off the reservation' and attempting a marxist social revolution to move away from democracy completely in support of socialism.

In this case you have competing 'ideologies', as opposed to competing 'ideas'.
- Competing ideologies in the field of 'governance' instead of competing ideas in the field of 'governing'.
It's flawed, and has the seeds of its own destruction built in.

The real deal is 'Globalism' v's 'Nationalism' anyway and the Marxist social revolution ideology is used to undermine any sense of Nationalism (or ownership of the nation by the people) in support of Globalism and the agendas of the elite.

We haven't heard much about the Fabian Society since the days of Gough Whitlam, an arch Fabian himself. He didn't say a lot about Fabianism as it is a secretive, behind-the-scenes branch of the Left. Founded in 1884, the Fabian Society operates in a manner different from the overt, original Marxism. Fabian-minded intellectuals work covertly, using liberal democracies to achieve the GRADUAL conversion to socialism; the operatives are found in academe and bureaucracies, in schools and universities, in the media, in politics, and in the entertainment industry. The play a 'long game', a more certain game, to achieve socialism in stages.

Sydney Webb, one of the society's founding members, coined a slogan 'The Inevibility Of Gradualness', in line with the story of the frog in slowly warming water. The 'frogs' who realise what is going on can hop out of the water and combat socialism. That's us, folks. The water is getting hotter.
