Genocidal Ted

Post by Shy Ted

It’s tragic to watch Aboriginal kids drop out of school due to poor decision making by the elites. In a fondly remembered community the school had done a sterling job getting kids to school and keeping them there at a rate close to 100%. The reality is few were achieving age-appropriate grades while most struggled with simple maths and small words, the clear result of maternal behaviour in pregnancy but there were lots of sports and household programs which they loved.

The Media Is Deceiving You

Udo Ulfkotte was an international journalist for many years. During the period of his reporting for the German main daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), he gained first-hand knowledge of what really took place between various agencies and journalists. He explained how journalists were bribed to write articles free of truth, facts, and with a decidedly pro-Western, pro-NATO bent or, in other words, propaganda.

The World Health Summit (WHS) — which was set up in 2009 as an international forum for global health — teamed up with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to hold their first joint World Health Summit in October 2022, in Berlin, Germany.

ATSIC and Me

Post by Shy Ted

I had visited a number of remote Aboriginal communities for 1-3 days at a time so I was getting a feel for things but this was my first live-in community, a 2 year contract and it had a far better feel than I had experienced thus far. 100% school attendance (up to the age of 13), high enrolment in CDEP (Community Development Employment Projects program) and even a small pub with little in the way of trouble. And then the additional duties/expectations began.

The Blind Obedience of an Easily-Led Pack

Post by Richard Kelly 

Have you ever wondered about where our beliefs come from? What drives the way we frame the events we witness? What impact our worldview has on our actions? What meaning can we ascribe to our actions? How do behaviours become normalised and adopted by masses?
