From Centre Right To Far Right Downunder

The Liberal Party is badly named in light of what it has turned into of late. There being few liberal minded people left in the party. Newly elected president, former PM Tony Abbott, is Pauline Hanson’s leading cheer leader. Abbot was also the bloke that sold the Port of Darwin to the Chinese. Abbot and his Sky News Australia former chief of staff, Peta Credlin, have taken the Liberal Party from centre Right to far Right downunder, via their influence, in recent times. The un-electability of the Liberal Party, on the basis of this move to the fringe, has cleared the way for One Nation to fill a vacuum. Right wing Aussies require a political vehicle for their zero sum game way of looking at the world. A world of winners and losers, rather than the progressive conception of us all being in this together.

What Is Right Vs Left?

If you want to know the fundamental difference between those on the Right vs those on the Left, conservative vs progressive, it is a belief in a zero sum game vs the idea that we are all in this together. What is Right vs Left? The Trump led Republicans reckon that some of us are more deserving than others. Those that can afford to pay for special treatment (rich folk), white folk, men, straight people and Christian Nationalists all appear to be favoured. Indeed, around the world far right groups are campaigning on anti-immigration and refugee issues. Flag waving right wing types are marching on these national exclusivity activist grounds. It comes down to this underpinning belief that there are winners and losers in life depending upon where you were born. ICE has detained Americans and set up concentration camps to house these detainees in brutal fashion.

The Mysteries Of Coaching AFL

In contravention of the AFL media’s obsession with star players, the art of coaching demands so much more than a roster of stars. Indeed, the mysteries of coaching AFL are on display for all to see throughout the season. Why is one team so good and another side so bad? The talking heads would like to make it all about the talent of the players in each squad but that is decidedly not the exclusive reason for success. In truth, the athletes playing AFL at this level are all very good, which is why they ended up on a playing list at an AFL club. Most of these young men have been playing footy for much of their short lives. They are remarkably talented with ball skills and have honed their physical endurance in readiness for the big leap to AFL standard.

Episode 27: Did Hitler's Small Penis Cost Millions of Lives? - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

Robert Sudha Hamilton delves into the genome revelations about Adolf Hitler and their ramifications.Scientists have revealed the genome of Adolf Hitler, the most reviled man in modern history. Hitler is likely to have had Kallmann Syndrome, which points to a micro-penis in his pants. It begs the question did Hitler’s small penis cost millions of lives? How so? The association between physical deformities and killers is well established in criminology studies. The burden of not measuring up in that most sensitive of areas would, in all likelihood, spur a lifetime of resentment. All that angry oration, Hitler was famous for, speaks of overcompensation. Whilst the genome of Adolf Hitler provides plenty of valuable data and potentialities it is, of course, only a source of possible outcomes. The historical evidence does seem to fit with the Kallmann Syndrome diagnosis. www.midasword.com.au

The move from centre Right to far Right is a degeneration for Australia and those pandering to this trend. Tony Abbott is an odious person who was booted out of office and his electorate by the voters. Pauline Hanson is a nasty piece of work...

Did you know in the ancient world there were regular examples of debt forgiveness? Yes even in those more brutal times elites recognised the dangers of social discordance. The masses were more likely to rise up if burdened with lifetime unforgiving debt...
