Fighting the Cultural War in the Trenches.

“Only those who decline to scramble up the career ladder are interesting as human beings. Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Being a mum in the 21st century of woke idealogues, cultural degenerates and racial propagandists is challenging to say the least. Keenly aware of the cultural and political climate surrounding us, most red-pilled mummas are forced to contend with the evil spirit of this age at a personal and spiritual level. We are in the business of intentionally and consistently countering every nefarious jab at our young, mindless, impressionable off-spring. It’s where the rubber hits the road we are affected and bombarded daily, and not just in the muesli bar aisles of Coles supermarkets where specials beckon us consume endlessly, but in our families, schools and churches.

It’s the middle of the road mummas whose hearts break when we see our children being indoctrinated by leftist dogma, the degenerate entertainment industry and flesh-feeding consumer lifestyle. It’s our children forced to accept feminism, transgendarism and anti-Christianism. What are mums to do but shut up, grin, and bear it, join a political group or lobby group or any group and get in the ring and fight like crazy Karens shouting for people to wake up and take the red pill. There is room for all that and more, in Christ. Until we swallow the Jesus pill, we can never be truly effective or red-pilled.

Having raised seven human beings of my own, I can tell you firsthand, sin lives in the heart of every individual. From the minute these beautiful babes are born, they have needs, sometimes we can fulfil their ever-longing, somewhat parasitical needs, often we cannot. Try as we might to establish near perfect lives for our less than perfect offspring, we fail every time. Well-intentioned mums try desperately to protect our children from the ills of the world to the point of eliminating competition, keeping up with the Jones’ and pandering to their every desire. All the while, unintentionally fuelling the evil onslaught inflicted upon us by the powers that be, through consumerism and hedonism. Wrapping our children in cotton wool, we added to the world’s problems. We fell for the cultural narrative, aspiring to perfectionism through the aesthetically pleasing, luxury Western lifestyle. Personally, I imagined sending my children to childcare and dreamt of ways to earn more, be more and have more. After all, life was for the taking, carpe diem, right? Wrong. Turns out, life and living are more than the endless consumption of goods and services.

Thank God, I woke up! And not “woke” in the liberal sense of the word, I mean spiritually awakened. In Christ. So I spent most of the other half of mumma life purposely resisting the culture. In a desperate attempt to protect our children from the potential degeneracy encroaching upon their lives, we pulled them out of school and home-schooled. We controlled their friendships, social media and entertainment, whilst immersing them deeply in the church, hoping all this would lead to them resisting the culture for themselves and ultimately their salvation. At this point, the closest we have come to achieving these goals are 2 baptisms and constant backsliding. The result of twenty plus years of resistance, censorship, pushback, constant infighting, debates, heartbreak, and pain has resulted in very little on their spiritual and social lives. Sure, I get glimpses of hope in some interactions, but only Christ knows and understands the depths and needs of the human heart.

Society reflects the family, so whilst muesli-brained mummas look out for the specials, we know whom to look for as especially needed to fight back against the spirit of this age. It’s by the power of Christ we make that umpteenth phone call to a teacher regarding inappropriate content in our students’ health curriculum. It’s the love of God which compels our fingers take to the keyboard to write yet another email on why we think a book should be banned from the reading list.

It is we who are forced to watch prayerfully and almost haplessly as our children are tattooed, prostituted, and brainwashed by the cultural imaginary. We endure their eye rolls and their back chatting whilst ignoring their constant requests for the latest gadgets and fads. We are the ones desperately pleading with them to understand the lyrics of the latest song by that new degenerate rap (BS) artist. We caution them to rethink the Tik Tok lives through which they vicariously live, to put on a longer skirt or longer top or just to cover their butts! We beg them not to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster or at the very least, question the underlying ideology in the movie wherein girls can do anything, and boys cannot. It’s a painstakingly relentless, unthankful task and we are the true minorities in a world too cool for mums like us.

Taken largely for granted, we are the home-makers and home-bakers, the full-time mums working hard in the trenches to keep life traditionally Christian and untainted by the evil all around and within us. We are the ones on our knees, daily praying for their souls, hoping against hope they survive the onslaught of daily evils encroaching upon their half-brained minds. It’s an understatement to say it’s bloody difficult and yes, we cry much, we also laugh much, we could be diagnosed as bipolar. Sometimes we need a drink or two, maybe three. Sometimes we even drink with our adult children, cos what the heck, we’ve tried everything else. We need some fun too.

The culture war has always been fought for in the frontlines by every day, ordinary people, like muesli-brained mummas. Political activism, protests, lobbying govt, campaigning and pinpointing groups to blame can make a whole lot of sense on a superficial level, but the big and deeper picture is in the minutia. Where Black Lives Matter (BLM), Antifa, degenerate Marxist groups and corrupt governments seek to tear down the God-ordained, natural order of things, a White Lives Matter (WLM) movement springs up in opposition.

Each group can identify the source of their oppression, give reasons for their narrative, and justify their existence. These groups, like us mummas, are simply staking out a place that’s ours. A place for our children, a safe place wherein we can all feel a sense of belonging, a place where justice prevails, a place of like-minds, of peace, of goodness. Isn’t that what most people want, peace, love and dare I say, kumbaya. We want to live in communities which reflect ourselves, a place where most people look like us, talk like us and walk like us. We rarely enjoy confrontation and the constant challenge of having to defend our values, beliefs, and existence.

As mummas living in the reality that exists, we continue to speak out daily, lovingly, often angrily. We do so in the hopes of establishing a near perfect utopia. Whilst we may not be in positions of notoriety, infamous for open activism or held up as martyrs in the public domain, it’s the hand that rocks the cradle that rules the world. It is the muesli mummas globally, quietly fighting in the unseen places. Our war is one that is intimately spiritual and heart-breakingly personal. It is in Christ from whence we must launch all our battles and remember always, we may impact a whole generation, but we may only impact one soul. So before going out to battle, take the Jesus pill, wash it down with some water, and with a helping of mumma’s muesli, maybe, just maybe, the battle on all fronts will not only be fruitful and meaningful but eternally victorious.

“Unless the LORD builds the house, they labour in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.”

Our Story.

“…..Preach good tidings to the poor;
to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.” (Isa 61:2-4)
 
Formerly a home-schooling family of nine, on a single income and a tight budget, we learned to value everything, rarely threw anything out, and always tried to look for creative ways to recycle. We would practice textiles and design using old clothes, moderately worn out linen or marked down fabric purchased from op-shops.
 
Building on the philosophy which underpinned the quilting industry, our family business was born. Beauty for Ashes has been 20 years in the making but we now intentionally rescue, restore, and re-purpose fabric into reversible, washable, funky bags.
 
Having recently survived a critical life event, our desire is to pay forward our blessings to others who may be or are going through similar situations. As with our philosophy on unwanted fabric, we believe there is no life too far gone or beyond reach. Every life is valuable and with the right tools and support, restoration and transformation is possible.
 
When you purchase the Beauty for Ashes bags, you are in the business of restoring, empowering and re-purposing lives. No two bags are alike and are as unique as each individual’s fingerprint. Made at home, with love, by a loving Australian family.

The Let Women Speak Rally That No One Heard.

“The world brazenly touts freedom as both the inalienable right and morally liberating justification to mindlessly play in the filth that lies all around me. And the slight bit of sanity that yet remains within me asks, ‘what raging madness would prompt me to incessantly wallow in the very things that will eventually swallow me?

Craig D. Lounsbrough, An Intimate Collision: Encounters with Life and Jesus

Once upon a time women had no rights. They could not vote or work. Married women were considered dead in the eyes of the law, their husbands could beat, divorce, and imprison them, at will. If women worked, they earned less than men, and were not even allowed to study. I could go on, but you get the point. They were oppressed. Literally. Until one summer in 1848, one Elizabeth Cady Stanton formulated the “Declaration of Sentiments” a comprehensive list of areas where women were being unfairly treated. This led to the women’s movement which has given us the many rights and privileges we have to this day.

Saturday 18th March however, marked a turning point for all women, and it was never more obvious than on those steps of Parliament House. The Let Women Speak rally highlighted the unique situation women were facing. There’s a new face of feminism in town, it is feminazism. If women thought the 1700s were bad, then be prepared to enter a new wave of patriarchal rule under the guise of the matriarchy. Facing off against biological women was the LGBTQIA+ faces of women. These “feminazis” want to take women’s rights to a whole new level, and God help anyone who gets in the way. Walled off by only the thin blue line, the rabid dogs were frothing at the mouths, chanting and screaming for actual women to shut up.

On the other side, another breed of men graced Melbourne with their presence. Kitted out in all black with full black masks the Neo Nazis stood ominously silent. They held a large banner which said, “Destroy Pedo Freaks”, then sigheiled multiple times. Just enough times for the fake news media to taint the Let Women Speak rally as a Neo Nazi rally, and enough times to whip up the LGBTQIA+ circus into such a frenzy, methinks even the Victoria Police were scared.

After years of fighting for their rights and equality, women have come to a fork in the road. They can either run back into the arms of traditional men, and go back to a time, content with making sandwiches, or they could work with the State and accept the new patriarchy. Ironically, the rally which was supposed to give voice to women was drowned out by a splay of testosterone. At the end of the day, all that people will remember were the violent clashes between the police, neo Nazis and pro trans activists. The women spoke, but no one heard.

Christians Unite: How To Be Brave In A World That Hates Us.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9

Australian Peacemakers held a Christians Unite conference on Saturday 25th February. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and encouragement, with the focus on how we as Christians, are to stand up and be brave in this world, regardless of consequences. There were a number of keynote speakers who all shared some form of encouragement based on their personal experiences. It is likely you will have never heard their stories in the mainstream news. These are the stories of the silent majority, those who wield little influence in a world that values power and financial control.

Nick Patterson, former gym owner, founder, and head of Australian Peacemakers, is currently in the middle of a legal dispute for an alleged altercation provoked by Victoria Police. He is one of the few who actually put his money where his mouth is in a time when people were kow-towing to the system, at the snap of its fingers on the long arm of the law. As a result, he lost his livelihood due to draconian lockdowns and constant government harassment. Keep an eye out for his court case beginning in June. He will need our prayers and support.

Among the many inspirational speakers, two stood out. Topher Field gave an impassioned sermon about standing strong as Christians in the political space. We may not have a political solution, but we have a spiritual solution, in Christ. Repentance and revival are our only hope in this fight. Whilst the people continue to reject God and look to Government, it cannot or will not save us. Just like the people of old in the book of Samuel, they cry out for a king to rule over us, and for a Government to fix us, to fix Covid, the climate, the poverty, inequality, and the mentally ill. Even after God warned them that these very things would be the consequences of rejecting God and relying on man.

And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots. He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers. He will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants. He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants. And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work. He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants. And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”

1 Samuel 8:11-18

We will own nothing, but we won’t be happy or content. And unless there is repentance, there is no going back and God does not hear. Sadly, the people continue to insist on their way.

The last speaker but not least of all was Damien Richardson. His testimony (which I urge all to listen to at 2.54) was one of heartfelt honesty and unfiltered truths. Seemingly invested in his journey with Christ he spoke with passion, style and humour. His courage and determination to live a transformed life come what may was inspiring. It was personally encouraging to hear about Damien’s gratitude for his own father’s faith. Clearly, he is no stranger to his own and others’ brokenness. Knowing all too well that sinful people are fallible in need of a saviour, he draws on Jesus’ example at Gethsemane, stressing the importance of overcoming fear, regardless of consequences. Pushing back and speaking up against the entertainment industry and its attack on Christian men, he went from famous celebrity actor to lowly Christian radio host, his infamy will long be celebrated in the kingdom yet to come if he stays the course and finds a good Christian Church. Find him on Today’s News Talk (TNT) where he covers news and propaganda with a variety of guests.

“The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” 

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Whilst these men speak truth and bravado from the podium, actions always speak louder than words. Let that be the take home message for us all in how we navigate through this hostile, anti-Christian world. Live Christ, love like Christ and be all things to all men in Christ, without compromising His truths.

“….to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”

1 Corinthians 9:22

Australian Peacemakers is hosting another Christians Unite conference on Thursday 30th March in NSW.

They Are Coming For The Christians

“One of the greatest responsibilities for the people of our time is to accept everything that he hears in the pro-government media as a lie and to investigate the truth from independent sources personally!”

Mehmet Murat ildan

Thanks to the mainstream media and the law enforcement industrial complex, Christians are now deemed as looney as the Trains in Wieambilla, Queensland and Trish and Sally in Edwardstown, South Australia. We are now labeled as extreme, anti-vaxxing, homophobic, conspiracy theorist-premillennialists. Hold my coffee while I pause to laugh. Hysterically. Why am I laughing, you ask? Margo, should you be concerned that these false accusations might have you dragged through the mud and eventually arrested?

Firstly, these allegations aren’t new to any authentic, self-professing Christian. Actual Christians are prepared to enter the lion’s den or carry their cross to Calvary, even catch a cold or leprosy, if it means someone might know the love of Christ. Contrary to what some might claim, we don’t arm ourselves with guns and shoot down police officers, nor do we knife each other and burn each other’s houses down. But all that is irrelevant according to the powers that be.

They’ve made all kinds of implications and accusations to smear the Christian reputation as evil, hateful, homophobic and now we will be seen as a domestic terrorist threat.

In the case of the Trains, headlines worldwide read:

“Train family police shooting in Wieambilla declared a religious terror attack”

News.com

The articles themselves were rife with anti-Christian propaganda, even comparing the tragedy with WACO Texas:

The investigation found the trio were subscribed to the Christian extremist ideology of premillennialism.

“Christian extremist ideology has been linked to other attacks around the world, but this is the first time we’ve seen it Australia,” deputy commissioner Linford said.

Other similar religiously motivated attacks linked to Christian extremist ideologies include the 51-day Waco siege in Texas in 1993.

News.com

Reports on Sally and Trish’s murder-suicide were only subtlety obvious in their attempt to paint them both as potentially Christian. With eye-witness accounts of their charitableness around Christmas, and their belief that God was their government. These are very common practices and beliefs in Christian circles.

On the back, (of their T’shirts) they read: “I believe in God not government.” and

A gardener, called Chris, said he mowed the lawn at the property around every three weeks.

“They were pleasant, not big conversationalists, but around Christmas time they cleared out their cupboards or something and gave me a bit of a show bag,” Chris told The Advertiser.

News.com

Well they can say all they like and accuse us of being religiously motivated extremists. ASIO can even watch us like hawkes, but let’s take a glimpse at the life of Christ, leader of the Christian movement. We are known by our fruits and if we don’t manifest the life of Christ or at least come close, then we cannot be considered Christian. In all things we remain as Christ did. He peacefully, allowed accusers to lie, cheat, rob and kill Him to death. Jesus didn’t just speak truth, He led by example:

Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him. At this, one of Jesus’ companions (Simon Peter) drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 

Matthew 26:51-52

Peter went on to become one of Jesus’ martyred followers. There are countless examples of Christians persecuted, stoned to death, or crucified for their faith. Jesus told us these things would happen,

“Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.” 

Matthew 24:9

We count it all joy brethren.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

John 1:2-4

Whilst we sympathise with the Trains and Sally and Trish, these are exciting times for actual Christians. When they arrest us simply for refusing to take their killer clot shot, eat their bugs, participate in their satanic rituals and wear their LGBTQIA+ propaganda, we will own it as the highest honour and privilege. We will not be teaching our children that it’s normal to change ones gender or that sodomy is ok. Yes. Our faith will be put to the test. If not now, when? If not you, then who?

We have waited a long time for this and we should be prepared. It is here. Fear not. Christ is coming soon and He will make all things right.

“He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”

Revelation 22:20

Dan Andrews Is Planning 20-Minute Cities For Victorians

It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

C.S. Lewis

Our oh-so benevolent Victorian Government under Dear Leader Dan Andrews has since 2017 been plotting to lock us down permanently by the year 2050. Under the guise of better health and improving socio-economical and environmental conditions, 20-minute cities will see our footprints literally limited to walking distance from our homes. With a plan to build densely populated communities, complete with basic needs and services, no one will ever need to leave their neighborhood. Ever. Coincidentally, pilot programs were activated in 2018 just prior to the infamous COVID19 pandemic. Planning Victoria is now promoting 20-minute cities as a recovery plan for small businesses and communities affected by Covid lockdowns. Their aim is to,

“…make the 20-minute neighborhood concept a reality for every person”

Plan Melbourne

You’re probably thinking this sounds like another cooker conspiracy theory designed to rally the masses against the government. But let’s think about it logically. The plan was borne in 2017 before Covid-19 was even “conceived”. Pilot programs were activated and concluded in 2018. This was followed by a compulsory statewide pilot program rolled out in 2020 and 2021 which saw everyone limited to 5km radius from their homes. Not quite 20 minutes, but enough to raise an eyebrow. Or two.

“The temporary activations enabled immediate Covid-19 recovery responses through low-cost and easy to implement activations that support local traders and the community. They were the first step in developing the pilot sites as 20-minute-neighborhoods and provided an opportunity to trial possible permanent interventions.”

Plan Melbourne

Whilst you may be wondering, ok what’s the big deal? If people want to be confined to their local areas, why make an issue? It seems better for our health and well-being and encourages people to walk more, drive less. It supports local small businesses, it is better for the environment and builds community. What could possibly go wrong? As well-intentioned as it sounds, I can’t help but feel slightly suspicious. I mean, when will they start requiring permits for us to exit our 20-minute zones? Will they start tracking the distance and number of times we drive outside that zone?

Whether this is another plot for government to control our every move once again, I enjoy the freedom to come and go whenever, however, and wherever I please. Personally, most of my activities lie outside my 20-minute zone, so none of the above will be of any use to me. 2050 seems a long way away, but in the meantime, brace yourselves for increased lockdowns, the training of more Stasi officers, controlling AI systems in place everywhere, the enforced use of electric vehicles, and checkpoints implemented in suburban areas, similar to tollways. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Arthur Fleck And The Decay Of Western Civilisaton

“Nihilism is a natural consequence of a culture (or civilization) ruled and regulated by categories that mask manipulation, mastery and domination of peoples and nature.”

Cornel West, The Cornel West Reader

Todd Phillip’s The Joker is a story about the decay of Western Civilisation. Set in a world ready to explode with disenfranchised people who’ve lost faith in the system and government. Crime and unemployment are through the roof with jobs and money scarce. People are angry and looking for a scapegoat.

The original 2019 Joker film centred on the fictional character, Arthur Fleck, a single man who lives with his elderly mother in a dilapidated apartment building. Welfare dependent and mentally ill, he receives regular medication and counselling from the state. In a series of painful life experiences, we watch Arthur’s story unfold as it goes from bad to worse.

I found this quite a difficult film to watch. Despite it being a brilliant piece of cinema, with a fantastic storyline, and better than authentic acting. Joachin Phoenix’s Oscar winning performance brought The Joker to life, as he tugged at our heartstrings breaking for Arthur over and over again throughout the film.

We can’t help but agonise over every tragedy he encountered and if you’re anything like me, you will want to take him into your arms, and tell him about Jesus. At the very heart of Arthur was the desire to make his miserable world good. However, his search for goodness was in all the wrong places.

The film showed his personal journey as he stands at the precipice of finding meaning and goodness to resorting to nihilism and evil. His attempt to reconcile with the man he believes to be his father, business tycoon and aspiring mayor Thomas Wayne, only revealed the truth about his childhood. He discovers the abuse he endured as a child by his own adoptive mother and her boyfriend, is the cause of his mental illness and dysfunction. The revelation sees him take a downward turn for the worse which sends him into murderous hatred and rage. Losing the only thing which truly gave him joy and purpose, working as a clown in a children’s hospital, he becomes a truly broken man. Rejected by his father, the system, his own mother, and the girl next door, his breaking point comes at the hands of bullies in business suits. Forced to defend himself, he ends up shooting his three attackers to death.

The murders empowered him as he is finally set free from his social angst. A discarded, marginalized, forgotten victim of society, finds new strength in his hatred and takes it upon himself to clean up the world of antagonists in suits. Megalomaniacal, power-tripping, corporate aristocrats who serve only themselves, as they step on anyone and everyone to get what they want, are his main target. At the conclusion of the film, we see him dancing on top of a car, in the midst of a protest. He is being celebrated and hailed as the man who finally stuck it to the powers that be.

Evil manifests two faces as Arthur goes from being the protagonist to the antagonist in his own tragic story. In him we see a snippet of ourselves in the West. We live in a delusional haze of nihilistic apathy. Though not all will become murderous psychopaths, many are plagued by mental health issues, cyclical dysfunction or some sort of addiction. With suicide rates on the rise since 2020, things don’t seem to be getting better. Sedated by the Western world’s drug of choice, whether it be the entertainment industry, consumerism or some sort of anti-depressant, it’s not until we are awakened by some tragic force are we moved to action. Like the people of Gotham city, we look for scapegoats. Whilst scapegoating gives us meaning, it does little to change our situation. We can warm ourselves by the raging anarchists only to have our fires extinguished by the city skyline, as cries for change fall on deaf ears.

In a world where people worship the state, looking at government to fix them, it’s no wonder nothing and no one improves. There is no political solution. It would be easy to see Arthur as the crazy other, and view him as though outside of ourselves. We disassociate from his situation as though far removed from it. But the only difference between Arthur and us is that we may have money and means to function better in the world. We have access to medication, and are easily entertained by whatever mind-numbing drug is available to get by. But a little bit of Arthur exists in all of us, whether we like it or not. Eventually, we will all have to choose between good and evil. The only solution for Arthurs and all the world’s problems is Christ.

“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”

Deuteronomy 30:15-20

Deep down we love Arthur. We are torn between wanting to see him heal, and find freedom from his hatred and vengeance, but we also want to see him have his day of reckoning. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until Joker 2 entitled Joker: Folie à Deux (English translation: shared psychosis) scheduled to be released in October 2024. Lady Gaga will play Dr Harley Quinn and Zazie Beetz will reprise her role as Arthur’s neighbour and fantasy love interest Sophie Dumond.

Earthquakes in divers places: We Are In End Times.

“Life is like a vapor. It is like a puff of smoke. It is here for a little while, then it is gone. If you were called into eternity today, would you be ready?”

James Collins, Don’t Throw The Believer Out With The Baptistry Water: The Best Of The hi Point Is… Volume 1

The Turkey-Syria earthquakes which measured 7.8 and 7.5 on the magnitude scale recently, has so far left seen over 22,000 confirmed dead and thousands more injured or missing. The death toll far exceeds Japan’s 2011 Fukushimaearthquake disaster. Considered one of the biggest disasters in the history of the world, one can’t help but question the meaning of these earthquakes and the fragility of life.

The earthquake’s damaging effects on Turkey and Syria are felt all over the world, as people everywhere rush to provide aid, financial assistance and relief. In the restful hours of the early morning, thousands were abruptly awakened from their sleep to death and destruction. Stories on the ground from those affected are heartbreaking. In the blink of an eye, people’s lives changed. In the heart of the city, Kahramanmaras, with a population of approximately 400,000, people of all classes were affected. The earthquake did not discriminate. If the world wants equality, they finally have it. The thriving metropolis now lies in dust and rubble, with residents camped out in tents in the city’s soccer stadium. With freezing temperatures making rescue efforts all the more difficult, and thousands still missing, death counts are expected to rise.

Scientists globally are analyzing fault lines, to see how they caused such seismic devastation. It would be great if we could predict when these disasters might occur to mitigate or prevent their devastating effects. Alas, no matter how much knowledge humans acquire, or how much money we have, we are not, and will never be God.

We cannot avoid such natural disasters, whether they are God-ordained, or as some “conspiracy theorists” might claim, a Globalist’s nefarious plan to destroy a nation. An earthquake and its aftershocks bring everyone to ground zero. We are but ants in a world designed by those in power to bring us all to nothing at the push of a button. Today it’s an earthquake, tomorrow a pandemic, next week a war. These disasters are predicted in the Bible. Christians have known for years these things would happen eventually, and in bigger and more frequent proportions. We don’t need human scientists to tell us how these happen or how to avoid them. They are unavoidable because, despite some Globalists’ evil plan, he is only carrying out God’s ultimate plan.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

https://www.bible.com/bible/111/MAT.24.NIV

Hang on to your Bibles Christians, and if you are not Christian and don’t own a Bible, I suggest you grab one from the nearest church. We are in end times. No one knows when or where the next disaster will occur, we need only be ready as to how we respond. Let’s pray for those affected by this recent catastrophe and pray that we are ready for any future calamities, for they will surely come.

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

The 2023 Grammy Awards’ Satanic Assault On Your Minds.

David Yoon

The 2023 Grammy Awards night was broadcast around the world with its usual pomp and circumstance. The glamourous red carpet parade was followed by an opening performance by (wait for it) “Bad Bunny”. It undeniably positions a globally, naïve audience to participate in yet another, Baphomet-worshipping ritual celebrating degeneracy. As with anything produced by the arts and entertainment industry, the hegemonic call is as always, powerful. However, it is subtle enough to leave audiences feeling merely entertained, oblivious to the assault on their undiscerning minds. We need only stand by and wait as copycat “Bad Bunnies” and mini Madonnas crop up on our streets or even our own homes, over the next few months through the cultural imaginary. With ratings up 30% since last year, it leaves one to wonder if people tune in out of interest or habit.

Undoubtedly, the awards show is getting worse as the years go by, explicitly normalizing all that is evil and ungodly. Among the number of degenerate performances of the night, Madonna’s introduction of Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ performance was compellingly disturbing. She cleverly hails an unwitting audience into agreeing with her, prompting them each time to applaud and “make some noise”. Encouraging “trouble-makers”, she celebrates them as courageous saying their “fearlessness does not go unnoticed”. She incites them all to rebellion whilst assuring them they are all “seen, heard and appreciated”. Flamboyantly, she ends her speech by introducing the concept, “beautifully unholy”. The contradiction in terms is lost on the ignorant who only hear words of acceptance, appreciation and inclusivity because they are caught up in a twisted sense of belonging amidst the euphoric lights and sound. Immersed in dark energy, they sit mesmerized, absorbing every ideology being vomited in their faces.

Sam and Kim’s performance of “Unholy” was nothing short of a metaphorical mass orgy. The casual display of sodomy, adultery, whips and chains, are designed to desensitize an already captivated audience. Their continued push against what’s considered, “acceptable boundaries” not only tells us it has become the norm, but they are attempting to convince us that it is also cool. The implication being everyone should party like them, and we are missing out. The entire system is screaming at us how we should think, feel and behave.

Spitting in the face of tradition, these powerful performances, persuasive speeches and roaring accolades from the live audience, subtly invite us to consent their cultural definitions. Consequently, the people will identify with a number of performers, whether it is Madonna draped in dangerous black or Sam as a non-binary identifying white man consenting to being publicly gang-raped. Kim as a transgendered woman trapped in his own body, deceived by his own mind, or the seemingly “normal” Beyoncé, slave to fame and fortune. These Baphomet-worshipping acolytes are telling us who we are and what to believe. Their destruction of all that’s good and pure is not complete until they have everyone gyrating at their footstool.

Therefore, it is time to fight against these mentally ill, porn-addicted, child groomers, and mind-raping junkies. Stop allowing them to manipulate us and start thinking for ourselves. There is nothing beautiful about being unholy. Under no circumstances, is it strong or masculine for a man to cheat on his wife and children. Nor is it right or cool to practice debauchery and lewdness. This is not the life God intended for anyone. He wants to see healthy families thrive, with purity and sobriety made cool and normal again. Resist being slaves to the culture, take it back, rise up, be brave and courageous. Tell your friends. Parents turn off the zombie box. Take your family to church, learn of Christ, and be set free from slavery. Madonna and her minions will burn in hell, she wants to drag as many of us with her. Don’t let her!

Romans 6:9

Married At First Sight Exploits Indecency

Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.

Louis de Bernières

Married At First Sight (MAFS) is a social experiment gone awry. It is now in the 10th season and has proven to be another farcical TV series filled with wannabe famous individuals vying for their 15 minutes of fame. Some of the participants could quite possibly be genuinely looking for the love of their life, yet the show exploits their deepest desires to increase ratings for profits. It is a cheap form of entertainment produced for yet another indiscriminate audience, ready to consume all the zombie box has to offer.

The show is predicated on the idea that so-called relationship experts are best able to increase the chances for people to find and commit to long-lasting, fulfilling relationships. However, within a controlled environment designed to cause drama for the purpose of increasing ratings and TV network ad revenue, it can hardly be surprising that of the 82 couples to have been chewed up and spat out, only one is stll married today.

Under normal circumstances, genuine couples committed to each other would do their utmost to protect their relationship. They would eliminate anything or anyone who would pose a threat to them. These steps alone can determine the success or failure of a marriage.

Let us put aside all the legitimate reasons why this show should be ignored by the masses, and look at the more esoteric reasons as to why it should be lying in shreds on the cutting room floor. Marriage originally was ordained by God. It was a covenant, (not just a contract) made between a man and a woman in the presence of God. Vows made between the two were sacred because words are powerful, they mean things, and there was a time when a man’s word was his bond. It was then sealed by the act of consummation. The first relationship expert was God. Adam and Eve didn’t get to choose, they didn’t get to “try before they buy”, they didn’t get to know each other first before deciding to “know” each other. They simply trusted God and understood the basic fundamentals of what it meant to be committed.

Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

Genesis 2:18

MAFS makes light of all that’s sacred and leads others to do the same. It attracts a young, impressionable audience ready to be mind-raped. Marriage becomes a sideshow act that is negotiable based on the individual’s feelings. The audience is sold the lie that love means shopping around until we find the “perfect” one or that marriage vows can be made casually, then discarded when things get tough or the couple discover each other’s idiosyncrasies. The choice to love and stay committed through sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer or till death do us part, is thrown by the wayside and considered “old-fashioned”.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Hebrews 13:4

As for all the legitimate reasons for ignoring the show, the list is long, but I’ll keep it short. It is nothing more than a B-grade soap opera designed to lull a nation into passively living vicariously through others’ indiscretions. The masses use the show as an opportunity to gossip, complicit in participants’ desperation to find love or fame. It shamelessly exploits their personal lives, making public every indecency. The women seem to be botoxed to the eyelids, and excessively made up. They almost prostitute themselves for attention, scratching each other’s eyes out for a 2-minute spot in the limelight. It lays bare their every emotion, and mistake. Not to mention, it leaves one to question their genuineness about actually finding love. Take for example Harrison and Bronte. In episode 6, Harrison reveals he was seeing someone before joining the show.

The show reeks of insincerity and would be more credible if it took its participants’ needs more seriously. The “experts” or pseudo-scientists aren’t interested in actually seeing any of their guinea pigs find happiness, they just want the money. It tears at the fabric of society, ripping yet again, into the Godly, wholesome institution. A 10th Season indicates it is popular with the people which means we are way past the slippery slope, and already knee-deep in the anti-Christian quicksand. Don’t let this review tempt you into watching. Resist the temptation. You and your family can thank me later.

Alice Springs is the new South Africa.

Last week a machete-wielding 13-year-old boy terrified shoppers at an Alice Springs Woolworths. Alice Springs is fast becoming the new South Africa, crime rates are high as young Indigenous gangs run rampant, unsupervised and un-policed. Domestic violence and racism within Indigenous communities remain a common occurrence, whilst Australia’s champagne-sipping soycialists refuse to face facts, continuing to turn a blind eye, whilst exploiting Indigenous issues.

Summer is generally a time when violent crime peaks in Alice Springs leaving locals terrorized. The local council is currently seeking funding and approval for police dogs in anticipation of increased crime every summer. This is presumably because dogs can’t be considered racist. The mayor is calling for AFP or ADF support. Precautionary measures are also in place, such as keeping knives, glue, spray paint, scissors and literally anything potentially harmful under lock and key in most grocery stores. The fuel supply to NT is also a different content, due to the number of fuel sniffers.

Discrimination against non-Indigenous children is the norm as government provides the financial means for young Indigenous children be driven to school by the bus loads. Awards are given to many, just for turning up when required. This is not to say we should not help or encourage those in need, but at some point, Indigenous parents should be held to account for raising their own children, especially if they are receiving parenting payments. Funding is thrown at community groups and charity organisations seeking to improve life for indigenous communities, yet nothing changes. They continue to remain stuck in a cycle of abuse, crime, alcoholism, drugs and truancy.

People from all sides of the political spectrum can pinpoint whom to blame. They will argue it is systemic racism, colonialism, an ancestral issue, a lack of parenting support, but no one has any real solutions. Many believe The Voice, will solve their problems, but we already have elected representatives of Indigenous heritage who advocate for Indigenous rights and affairs. No one is really listening to them. At what point do we stop and look within, at the power each individual has to create changes to their own community? One could argue they are their own worst enemy. It only takes one person to be the change which then ripples outward to society.

Unfortunately, many have grown accustomed to the welfare cheque, but lack education on how to manage funds. Things are made worse by the lifting of the grog bans in remote central Northern Territory communities. Without proper guidance, financial assistance has proven ineffective and arguably a hindrance to real solutions. One need only look at the crime rate to know this.

Infected by its own form of racism, indigenous communities can also be tribal, tearing each other down from the inside by not respecting those belonging to other tribes. Whether one is full blood, mixed blood or simply chooses to live harmoniously with non-Indigenous Australians, can affect their standing within the community. Many would also much prefer to live like their ancestors. If such cases exist, perhaps we should honour their wishes and not interfere.

How can a group which allegedly receives so much support from community groups, charity groups and religious organizations still be in such a mess? It begs the question, whether funds allocated to such groups are transferred downstream where they are most needed. Perhaps an inquiry is required to ensure they are not exploiting the situation for personal gain. At a grassroots level, united Indigenous eldersare required. With strong leadership, shared goals and support for parents, communities can grow and foster a sense of belonging for Indigenous youth. This in turn can only leave long-lasting, positive effects on society at large.

Much Ado About Harry and Meghan.

“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever, One foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never.”

Much Ado About Nothing, William Shakespeare.


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have continued making headlines around the world after their Megxit from the British Royal Family in 2020 to now as a Hollywood power couple. Deceptively starting gossip, to cause division in their families, social media and the world’s stage, they have become a stain on society.

By playing victim and the race card, they have alienated themselves from family whilst continuing to air their dirty laundry in a never-ending series of paid tell-all media endeavours. We have seen so far Meghan’s Spotify podcasts, the couple’s 6-part Netflix documentary and now Harry’s ghostwritten autobiography Spare.

At the risk of defaming the beloved, late people’s Princess Diana, mother of Prince Harry, it would be disingenuous not to mention the scandalous similarities. As one who had her own fair share of shameless public attention, it seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She divorced the then Prince Charles, to go forth and publicise sordid details of their marriage, their infidelity, her bulimia and own struggle with the Royal Family in general. Only to tie it all together by gallivanting around with known Muslim, millionaire playboy, Dodi Al-Fayed. One could say her behavior was less than unbecoming of a princess. One might even argue, she paved the way for Prince Harry and his own wife.

The British Royal Family are no stranger to drama or public scrutiny. Their entire lives are under constant pursuit by ravenous paparazzi, lying in wait to publicize yet another sensationalized piece for the baying masses. As with all families, they certainly have their fair share of skeletons in the closet. Though they have the unfortunate privilege of having their dirty little secrets aired on the world’s stage. Everyone wants a piece of the skeleton pie with all the toppings, even Harry and Meghan themselves.

Claiming to be victims of institutionalized racism, they shamelessly accused the Royal Family of speculating on the skin colour of their firstborn. Having a mixed-race family of my own, we used to speculate all the time about what colour each of our babies would be. It’s not racist, stemming from our unconscious bias. It’s reality. Life is full of colourful people, are we no longer allowed to mention a person’s skin colour? Harry and Meghan need to drink some concrete, harden up and move on. They should try living during Jim Crowe laws to know what racism and its effects really are. Those people who fought for equality and desegregation must be rolling in their graves.

Instead of gratitude for those who made it possible for her to break through glass ceilings, Meghan Markle a semi-black, divorcée, B-grace actress from midtown USA turned Princess, would rather spit in the face of the Royals to capitalise on them to the highest bidder. If money is to be made, why not make it with royalties, pun intended. People actually watch their series and will buy their book, as they bought Princess Diana’s. For the masses, it’s become the latest talking point around the dinner table, because sadly, we live in a society that thrives on other people’s drama and misfortunes. Laced with a touch of 21st-century victimhood status, it’s been royally entertaining.
