This is especially true when it comes to Catholicism. Rome’s conception of “Church” has always married comfortably with statism. Unlike evangelical Protestantism, which understands the Kingdom of God as something fundamentally separate from the empires of this world, Catholicism has long seen no problem entwining spiritual and temporal power. Church and state strengthen each other in that arrangement, both benefit from suppressing Protestant influence.

This is why Rome’s ecumenical movement is so insidious. On the surface, it looks like unity around Jesus. But the “Jesus” at the centre of this unity is often stripped of his doctrinal substance: a convenient, softened figure designed to lure people in. It’s not unlike the tactics of a cult: find common ground, downplay the differences, and only later reveal what you really believe. By then, the convert has been captured either by a political machine or a religious order, and increasingly the two are one and the same.

This brings me to the current controversy around Charlie Kirk. I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I won’t speculate on every detail. But I do know this: his story does not smell organic. The idea that an 18-year-old built a hundred-million-dollar political machine from scratch is as believable as Mark Zuckerberg building Facebook alone in a dorm room. These narratives are convenient myths, useful to a political establishment for manufacturing legitimacy, but myths nonetheless.

Serious money and powerful interests opened the doors for Kirk, and they did so for a reason. His visible alignment with Catholic figures in media is not accidental. His gradual slide into ecumenical rhetoric is not accidental. It looks very much like part of a broader plan: to capture disillusioned evangelicals and steer them toward a politicised, Catholicised faith movement. And Kirk isn’t alone. Candace Owens’ public conversion, Russell Brand’s newfound spiritualism, Tucker Carlson’s traditionalist leanings, the social media rhetoric from The Daily Wire: all are part of the same narrative. We’re being conditioned to think that spiritual “maturity” means leaving behind the simplicity of the gospel for Rome’s “deep tradition” and even labouring, as Charlie Kirk has hinted, to build a new “golden age” of Christendom under the pope’s shadow and its political reflection in the MAGA movement:

If this is the “revival,” born of Charlie Kirk and those like him then we need to call it what it truly is: a subversion. Yes, God can use anything to bring individuals to faith. But that does not make those movements righteous, nor does it make them our mandate. And when this subversion is dressed up as the next “phase” of Christianity in America, a so-called golden age to be ushered in through papal authority and political power, then we must be even more discerning. Such a vision is not the Kingdom of God breaking into the world, but a man-made empire masquerading as one.

The Real Question Isn’t About Kirk

At a recent dinner I attended, it was asked what we all thought of Charlie Kirk. The consensus was that he was a terrible man, though even his critics admitted he didn’t deserve to die. My answer is this: it’s not really about Kirk. Whether the media paints him as a saint or a devil, both portraits are distortions. Defending him or condemning him achieves little for the gospel in a world where peoples opinions are driven by the social media machine.

The more fruitful conversation is not about Kirk at all, it’s about Jesus and the Bible. People are reacting to this story from deeply entrenched political positions: left versus right, progressive versus conservative. But none of that, in itself, serves Christ. Our mission is not to build idols or martyrs out of flawed men, but to point people back to the Bible’s message.

And here lies a deeper danger: the left–right paradigm is often a tool of divide and conquer, keeping people so fixated on fighting one another that we miss the larger picture. The chaos generated by endless cultural wars is easily co-opted by powerful interests to usher in a “new order”, one that may wear a moral or even religious veneer, but which is neither biblical nor ultimately in our interest. This doesn’t mean we should withdraw from political life or refuse to work within that spectrum, but it means we must engage with discernment, aware that our allegiance is not to a side of politics but to a King and a Kingdom that transcends them both.

Shepherd the Flock: Don’t Chase the Crowd!

There’s another danger lurking here too, one we must name. For centuries, all manner of heresy and corruption in the Church has been justified in the name of evangelism. “If it brings people in, it must be good!” But evangelism is not our highest calling: shepherding the flock is. And if we shepherded better, Christians would not be so easily dazzled by celebrity converts and political movements.

And yet, in our current cultural climate, it is understandable why many Christians grow weary of this posture. We are bombarded with narratives that portray marginalisation as weakness, irrelevance, or failure. For generations, the Church in the West, at least on the surface, has enjoyed cultural respectability and social influence and now, stripped of that privilege, many long to “take back ground” or “reclaim the culture.” The desire is not inherently wrong, but it becomes dangerous when it tempts us to trade faithfulness for influence, or to embrace worldly power as the solution to spiritual decay. The reality is that God has never needed cultural dominance to accomplish His purposes. Quite the opposite: history shows that the gospel’s light often shines brightest in the darkest times, when His people are despised, mocked, and yet unyielding in their allegiance to Him.

If we could embrace that reality, perhaps we would be less tempted by the false promises of cultural influence and more content to preach the unvarnished gospel even when it costs us worldly power.

In the end, the question is not whether we can work with others in the political sphere. We can and should. But we must do so with eyes wide open and our doctrine held in a closed fist. Our loyalty is to Christ and His Kingdom, not to movements, personalities, or those who would twist the gospel into a tool for power.

And above all, we must beware the creeping danger of religious syncretism the subtle blending of truth with error which has always been the enemy’s most effective weapon. The greatest threat is not the loud, obvious opposition of the world, but the soft and smiling invitation to “unity” that demands we set aside essential truths to join hands in false fellowship.

The Voice is Marxist Ideology Enshrined with Constitutional Power

Christians need to understand that the Voice to Parliament is not actually about the well-being of aboriginal Australians. That tag line is simply click-bait to get your consent to installing a Marxist power base at the highest levels of our government.

The Labor government and The Voice activists can’t give you any details on how they plan to help less fortunate aboriginal people because they have no plans to help them. Rather they plan to help themselves! If they gave you specific details you would realize that in a heartbeat. Which is why all the campaign arguments from the Yes camp is nothing more than a bunch of hyped up emotional cues designed to play on your feelings - it is a campaign aimed at the stupid but well-meaning Australian. And we have seen this tactic before: “Love is love!" remember? Who can argue with love? It’s all too familiar but without substance.

Christians ought to be asking some obvious questions. Why are those on the Labor left, those that hate God, those that fly rainbow flags, those that push radical trans-gender ideology onto our kids, those who are mostly white - why do they care about “closing the gap” for less fortunate aboriginal people? The answer should be obvious - they don’t!

The truth of it is that the misfortune of Aboriginal people is a profit and power centre for those with Marxist principles. As long as that gap exists there is an argument for government intervention, the creation of large bureaucracies and organizations that funnel huge sums of money into left-wing activist institutions and corporations. The aboriginal industrial complex is a form of Neo-Communism designed to co-opt government power and money (your money).

The left-wing therefore have an invested interest in maintaining and perpetuating the gap because it is the source of their power! If we were to fully integrate less fortunate aboriginal Australians into the capitalistic hard-working social hierarchy of wealthy Australia through all the obvious means then the money train dries up! The powerful bureaucracies servicing indigenous misfortune are no longer required. It stands to reason then that the only way to assist aboriginal Australians is to shut it all down! Therefore, a Constitutionally enshrined bureaucracy represents the worst possible outcome for indigenous affairs in Australia.

But shutting down elite aboriginal bureaucracy due to its wastefulness is something that Marxist activists are keenly aware and afraid of. The closure of the corrupted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) in 2005 is one example. Which is why they are fighting hard to have their Voice installed at a constitutional level. Activist Thomas Mayo whose signature is on the Uluru statement and who has co-authored the book “The Voice to Parliament Handbook - All the details you need” has stated: “The power in The Voice comes from its constitutional underpinning which means it is protected from hostile governments.”

You heard right. This unelected left-wing base of power will now have a permanency that cannot be meddled with despite future changes in government. In other words: they want to permanently enshrine their voice while shutting yours down!

Voice Proponents are Openly Communist

If anybody thinks I am mis-characterising The Voice to Parliament one should understand that proponents of The Voice are open about their communist leanings. You can watch this video to see Thomas Mayo pay his respect to his Communist forbears to whom he owes a debt of gratitude for his activism.

The Spectator recently published an article by Rod Lampard with photos of Marxist activists flying communist flags during the Yes123 rallies around the country.

For further background on the Marxist movement under the guise of indigenous affairs I would recommend people watch Geoff McDonald’s 1984 documentary discussing his book Red Over Black. Geoff was a member of the communist Party in his youth. During his later work for the nurse’s union he began to recognise how the strategies developed by Joseph Stalin were at work among indigenous activist organisations. Geoff describes what he was taught under communist theory:

“The best way to achieve power in any country that had indigenous peoples, such as in Australia with our Aborigines was to start what you would call an anti-colonial movement for indigenous peoples to regain their land. Linked with that were issues of promoting so called multi-culturalism and multi-racialism which would break the homogeneity of the nation which then allowed the communists to take power.”

In the second half of his documentary Geoff describes the success of Christian missionaries in helping aboriginal communities prior to their being over-taken by indigenous activism in Australia. He notes how the Christian gospel achieved immediate and marked improvement in the lifestyle and dignity of aborigines until Christianity was shutout of communities by those advocating another message.

The fact is the Christian gospel and its worldview represents a serious threat to the left-wing because it mends the very ailments they rely on to justify their existence. We can expect therefore that The Voice to Parliament will at every opportunity seek to discourage the Christian evangelism of aboriginal Australians in favour of a Marxist inspired message of victim-hood pushing the need for race-based reparations in terms of land titles and taxation.

The Rainbow Crowd are Pushing the Voice

It should not be lost on Christians that the LGBT activist crowd are strong advocates for The Voice campaign along with a range of powerful corporations that are also noted for pushing the Yes to gay “marriage” vote here in Australia.

The UK campaign launch for The Voice included the appearance of a drag queen singing John Farnham’s “You’re the Voice”.

LGBT activist groups in Sydney were recently calling for the Premier to keep his promise and set up a voice-like advisory council for gay and trans people. In Marxist inspired identity politics there will never be sufficient government intervention or recognition because if further consolidates their power.

Make no mistake. The Yes to The Voice campaign is inextricably linked with the Yes to gay and transgender rights because it is all part of the same revolution. The Voice is the gay “marriage” debate 2.0 but with constitutional recognition! It’s all just one big YES to Marxist ideology - for the purpose of casting Australia adrift from its European Christian foundation.

Christians Must Fight for an Unequivocal NO!

In light of the above we must not ignore the threat of enshrining a Marxist organization into the constitution. Marxist ideology is antithetical to a Christian worldview. It is atheistic and displaces God with Government as Almighty Saviour.

Marxism presents a faulty assessment of that which ails mankind and uses “oppressed” classes as a basis for power. It engages in theft in order to redistribute wealth for the “greater good” as opposed to the Christian doctrines of grace and charity. Marxism equalizes a society, but in a downward spiral and entrenches an elite few who get to pull the strings.

It is no accident that Communists persecute, stamp out, or highly regulate the Christian religion as its vision for humanity poses a threat to their utopianism. And Australian attitudes towards Christianity are headed in a hostile direction and will become even more so if we ratify Marxist ideology at the highest levels of our political system.

Furthermore, there is a tendency in Christian activism to focus on obvious moral issues like abortion or transgenderism whilst ignoring less obvious threats such as The Voice. But in doing so we fail to recognise that the moral battles we face today are symptoms of the shift in ideological thinking. If we fight the symptoms of Australia’s culture war without undermining the ideology that brings forth such ungodliness then we are fighting a losing battle. We lop off branches only to have them grow back again. We must commit to attacking the roots by engaging in strategic ideological warfare.

National division in the form of race wars and multi-culturalism is at the heart of Marxist ideological power. When Christians unify a people group around shared values such our Christian heritage, the law of God and a protestant work ethic then we cut deep into the heart of the ideology that is perpetuating the death-cult. We must focus on recovering a healthy God-centred worldview. Giving into the race war under the guise of “loving your neighbour” is a critical failure for the church as it surrenders significant ground to the enemy’s ideological power base.

Therefore, the adoption of The Voice by Christians represents disbelief in the Gospel and the law of God as the primary method of producing societal good. This is particularly true in relation to aboriginal communities who are suffering at the hands of the left-wing welfare state which robs them of their dignity and access to the truth of God. To advance The Voice agenda is to ignore God’s methods and the prior success of Christian mission to aboriginal communities in favour of an alternative ideology that seeks to anchor their psyches in an oppressed class as a weapon for political power.

Christianity must promote individual reconciliation with God through forgiveness of sins. For real change to occur people must stop pointing the finger at others but instead point the finger at oneself - only then can a person take responsibility! That must be our message to Aboriginal Australians and therefore The Voice’s Marxist framework is diametrically opposed to the Christian gospel.

But that result is to be expected. Because the “deliverance” of women from male power is another lie to promote the mythical egalitarian utopia. Like all the other oppressed classes of the Neo-Marxist toolbox women are likewise pawns for fuelling engineered class warfare. Because of this cultural Marxist revolution Australia is now a feminised society - designed to be so because it is easier to manipulate.

And that brings me to the burden of a feminised leadership.

A while ago I attended an anti-abortion rally. There was a police line. On one side there were the Christian families. On the other side there were about thirty university age women along with several males - I am reluctant to call them men. These women were foaming at the mouth angry, chanting, “We will fight! We will win! Put the fetus in the bin!” I’m still not sure how you win by killing your children but that is beside the point - The young females were entirely in charge of this group!

The girls held the loud speaker, led the chants, decided what to do and when to leave. Several males arrived with the women, stood around sneering, shouted what the women told them to and then left at the command of the females.

On their side of the police line the burden of a feminised leadership was obvious. Growing up in a society without solid male headship, never properly disciplined by their fathers, indoctrinated by the lefty feminised education system - these young women were some of the ugliest I have seen: strange piercings, shaved hair, the usual lefty activist attire. But along with their defaced bodies came their defaced minds. These females despise their own womb shouting hatred of their womanly functions.

I was so appalled by this group of young people that I found a piece of cardboard and created a sign to hold up for them: “Where is your womanly compassion?”, it said. They were devoid of it! A feminised culture is a society led into deception whereby even women lose their natural empathy and nurturing faculties.

So what attracted the males to this group? I cannot tell you. Never have I witnessed such weak-minded men. These were so powerless, so demasculated that they were spending an evening following a group of ugly insane females who abhor their own femininity and repudiate the act of child bearing. Such fruitless women are worthless to men! They are unwilling to preserve a family line. Yet here were these males, their ego’s chained to the sinful whims of these females - becoming their servants for evil. They were like Adam in the Garden: hearing the false gospel, watching the deception, participating in acts that bring death - all without saying a word.

In a highly feminised culture the burden of female leadership produces morally incapacitated men. Bystanders who are worthless deliverers!

So what about the other side of the line? Thankfully there was a marked difference between the group of Christian families who had gathered in protest of abortion and the young Marxist revolutionaries. No angry shouting, blue hair and shaved women - there were obvious signs of family structure and self-control. But how does the Church fare in Australia’s feminised culture? Are they bulwarks of a biblical Patriarchy?

Out of the several speakers and prayers offered at the Christian event it appeared to me that the majority were female. Some families had been selected to give testimony of the joys and opposition they experienced of birthing a child with Down Syndrome. Yet peculiarly in each case the wife spoke on behalf of the family. No perspective from a husband, a father. Both families’ deliverer and protector - silent!

Now I hear you say - “abortion is a women’s issue”. But it is not - that is the argument of the leftist crazies. It is the absence of principled male leadership that allows the ongoing murder of children by women who are not prevented from doing so by men. In our feminised culture men behave cowardly and renege on their responsibilities hiding behind the idea that many moral issues are “women’s issues”. Here was a chance for the Church to set a tone and example of principled male protection over society and yet it seemed absent.

Then the newly appointed female leader of the Australian Christian Lobby spoke to the rally participants. I don’t remember much of what she said - all I could think was, “Where is her husband?” If a wife has been chosen to be the leader of the organisation spearheading Christian political and spiritual warfare in Australia then she must be a champion of godliness and conviction. So then where is her husband? Where is the roaring lion that commands this lioness? If he exists, why am I listening to his helpmeet? Why am I being called into spiritual battle with a deceived and feminised culture by yet another woman?

In a recent podcast interview Pastor Doug Wilson notes that if male spiritual leadership was at work in the homes and families of the West then male headship would naturally filter out into the leadership of society. In biblical culture it was the men who sat in the city gates as leaders of the community (Proverbs 31:23). Pastor Wilson noted that women possessing some 50% of our political seats in parliament is by no means a sign of progress but a sign that something is very wrong.

Whilst there are some notable exceptions of female leadership and judgement in the bible - it is not the rule. Instead times characterised by infantile or feminized leadership are used to describe an era of God’s Judgement on his people. (Isaiah 3:12). We live in such times.

In terms of spiritual leadership in the Church the apostle Paul gave us very clear instructions regarding gender roles: “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man.” (1 Tim 2:12). His reasoning is not cultural. Instead his instruction flows from the theology of Genesis 1-3 namely the created order and the failures pertaining to each gender in the very first sin of humankind: “For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.” (1 Tim 2:13-14).

The implication Paul derives from this text is that to allow a woman authority in teaching and leading men in the Church is to give rise to the circumstances where Adam and Eve found themselves in rebellion. The woman through her deception led herself and then her husband into sin. Though he was not deceived and should have shepherded his wife from error he did not. Adam relinquished his God appointed authority to rule and protect subjecting himself to the instruction of his wife. The created order likewise confirms the proper gender roles and they are to be upheld in the spiritual leadership of God’s people. Church leadership is not to be modeled on the failings of the first Adam, rather on the second Adam, Jesus, who stepped in and rescued his bride in the face of death.

However today we have a vast array of culturally sensitive Churches. Pentecostals, Charismatics and other hipster Churches who have taken their lead from the culture and rejected biblical wisdom. The result is a feminised church leadership structure where women exert authority over men as ordinary practice.

Women now lead our Churches, women lead our Christian political parties, Women lead our political lobbying organisations.

Pastor Wilson noted that men are not easily mobilised by women. It is why I wondered about the strength of the ACL leader’s husband instead of listening to her. I have no desire to be led into battle by a woman, that is part of the problem we are facing. Men feel demasculated by the experience of subjecting themselves to feminine leadership in certain areas of life - which is part of the Marxist’s power-play. In the feminised culture men become less “manly”, less likely to stand firm and protect in matters of faith and morals - they become passive.

So here is my contention - the church in Australia just doesn’t get it! - the burden of a feminine leadership that is - that is undermining our culture. Much wickedness that prevails today can find its root in this problem - a feminised leadership and the prevailing absence of a principled and dominant male leadership structure in matters pertaining to family, Church and State.

Rather than exemplifying the wisdom of a biblical patriarchy and its benefits for delivery society including its women and children from destruction - we Christians have adopted the Neo-Marxist version of women’s deliverance: self-rescue by asserting feminine rights and dominance. It is like the original sin all over again! Is it any wonder we live in a culture of death when males stand around dumb like Adam?

Until the Church recognises this root problem, until Christian females refuse to step into leadership roles that require the mobilisation of men and their families for spiritual warfare, until we defer to a natural and biblical patriarchy, at home, at Church and one that leaks out into society - and until Christian men recognise their role as deliverers patterned after the rule of Christ - then we will remain ineffective in the culture war - because we are simply promoting the enemies worldview!

It is time to relieve the Church from the burden of a feminised leadership and submit ourselves to God’s wisdom and pattern for rule.

”Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” -Romans 12:2

Well let me answer that question: We voted for her! But what is more surprising to me is why a man at a strip club is even asking that question?

Honestly! Tell me that Lidia Thorpe is not the perfect representation of Australia in the 2020s! Sly snakes and sock puppets like Albanese and Morrison hide their self-interest and disregard for every day Australians behind their fancy suits and smooth tongues.

But Lidia Thorpe is truly an authentic modern Australian - one that every contributor to cultural marxist Australia should be proud!

Here are three reasons why I propose Lidia Thorpe would make the perfect Prime Minister of present day Australia.

Shameless and Immoral

Lidia is shameless and immoral. Being so intolerable that even strip clubs want her gone she is the perfect representative for our shameless society.

Whether we consider our culture’s glorification of perverse forms of sexuality. Or our Australian “mums” parading the right to kill their helpless babies. Or the group of aussie teenagers who gate-crashed last years anti-abortion protest outside WA parliament house bare breasted and shouting “my pussy, my choice” in full display of several hundred shocked mums and their daughters - It is clear that Australians now regard shame as an irrelevant concept.

Likewise there is no sacredness in the Australian marriage bed. Fornication has been ordinary behaviour for decades. We’ve now managed to normalise it for high schoolers. Our favourite television shows are often just gore, sex and vile language. Between those shows there is Tik Tok thankfully, since if we dared stop and reflect for but a single moment we might feel shame.

Porn used to be hidden. But now we have OnlyFans - it is like being an Uber Driver - but for our daughters. Now she can be her own pimp & prostitute and even advertise herself on billboards!

Yes, indeed, Lidia is the perfect Prime Minister for a shameless Australia!

Ignorant and Uneducated

Likewise Lidia is ignorant and uneducated. Her estranged white father recently spoke out that Lidia has significant roots in British colonial descent. Yet she has adopted the neo-Marxist narrative hook line & sinker as if she were born a full blood aboriginal in 1788. She takes modern regressive ideology to new heights. Her absurd activism is wokeism coming full circle - the snake eating its own tail. Let it go I say!

The aussie indoctrination camps that were once called Australian schools have abandoned any attempt to install rationalism and critical thinking skills into students. They now serve up a steady diet of “progressive” causes to get behind in every unit from English to science. From climate change cultism to the inclusion and diversity cult - Aussie kids are taught not to think only to emote about the agendas our Bureaucracy tells them to identify with.

Let’s face it. As an unthinking dolt, Lidia is the perfect role model for a generation of uneducated Australians who live by the social media worldview of “this current thing” and “Hey, look at me caring about it!”

Immature, Demanding, Attention Seeking Victim.

Lidia is a grown woman on the outside but a 15 year old on the inside. The strange stunts, the loud & abusive language is the behaviour of a young girl acting out a lifelong tantrum in which it seems nobody has ever cared enough to discipline her for.

These qualities so perfectly represent present day Australian culture that no other characteristics could better commend her for the Prime-ministership.

If we consider the brokenness of Australian families, rampant divorce, the abandonment of marriage, feminist ideology turned trans-ideology. The fact is we have produced a generation of unparented and unloved children that are now expected to act like adults. Instead our men are useless and our women lack charm, beauty and grace. The ugly consequences of destroying the Australian family are perfectly summed up in Lidia’s personality.

Instead Lidia has found her identity as the “Top Gun” of wokeness. Virtue signalling for acceptance isn’t enough! Instead woke-extremism is now the ultimate form of attention seeking. Everything and everybody else is an oppressor! She is the model victim for a society of victims that look to blame everyone else but themselves.

Yes with her at the helm no Australian will ever take responsibility for their life!

Lidia for Prime Minister

If truth be told present day Australia is like that man at the strip club who is astonished how a shameless, ignorant and childish woman could become a leader in our country.

But I say, really - Why are we surprised? The way I see it, God hating, vacuous, ignorant, ruinous, strip club attending fornicating Australia is very well represented by Lidia Thorpe!

So why not her for Prime Minister? That way Australia can look in the mirror and see exactly what we have become!

“ACL’s annual income, supporter numbers, donors, and staff numbers have all roughly tripled.”1

Based on this one might think he would be considered a glowing success. Revenue is up and the supporter base is bigger than ever. We will get to why that is in a moment. But the question remains why is the board unhappy?

According to Martyn the board doesn’t like the direction of the organisation and wants someone else to take charge of a new strategy focused on political lobbying and less on explaining the gospel and applying it to socio-political affairs and the Christian life - which has been the hallmark of Martyn’s career at the ACL.

A number of pundits have already weighed in on the news. Stephen Mcalpine threw support behind Martyn Iles saying without his gospel focused tactics the organisation risks becoming the “Australian Christendom Lobby.”

QNews, a news site for all things queer, declared “Happy Gay Christmas” after the news of Martyn’s firing. Quoting former Senator Brian Greig, who appears to be known for his gay activism stated: “Truth is [Martyn Iles] was sacked for turning the ACL into a personality cult around him, cutting other ppl out, stealing the limelight and hyper-controlling all communications.”

Pseudo-Presbyterian lefty Nathan Campbell on a blog post believes, “Under Martyn’s leadership the ACL has become massively more popular with the Christian constituency they represent but massively less popular (by reports I’ve heard from those engaged in other lobbying work in Canberra) with the politicians whose doors are now closed to the ACL.”

However, Campbell’s main problem with Martyn is that he engages in the culture war as part and parcel of his gospel and political ministry. His bone is no surprise since Pastor Campbell was an advocate for the “Yes” vote in the Australian gay mirage campaign despite him claiming to believe in a traditional sexual ethic. Apparently, God only created marriage for us Jesus types - Why foist it on anybody else?

So which of these opinions represents the reality of the situation facing Martyn Iles and the ACL? I have no inside knowledge of the inner workings of the ACL but from observing the state of Christian activism in Australia this past decade (or lack thereof) I would suggest there is some truth in all of these ideas and a whole lot more beside.

Firstly, has a personality cult arisen around Martyn Iles in his work for the ACL? I would say yes to some large degree. But the real question is this: Why has this happened and is it a bad thing?

Martyn has become popular because he filled a vacuum in the Church. He fulfills a role in Christian activism that has not dared been filled by any other public apologist for Christianity in many years. That is, Martyn dared educate the Christian Church, on politics and socio-political affairs by applying biblical principles and an application of the gospel of Jesus. In short he became an evangelical Christian apologist against Cultural Marxism.

I have often commented on Martyn’s sell out tours that the Church must be in a very sorry state when it requires a gospel preacher from a para-church organisation to travel the country and explain to every day Christians why the narratives behind trans-genderism, same sex attraction, identity politics and many other aspects of the cultural Marxist revolution are all completely mistaken according to the worldview presented in the bible.

So why aren’t our church leaders doing it? If Pastors were doing their job there would be no hunger among the masses to drive a personality cult around a man like Martyn Iles who openly discusses the impacts of neo-Marxism in our society and helps Christians think through the implications.

Yes pastors, the fact is Martyn is only doing your job because you have failed to do it! And so cultural Marxism has crept into your church. It has redefined the message, redefined priorities and made many a church leader too afraid to speak out on any of these important issues with any sort of clarity!

The onslaught of cultural Marxist activism has seen many churches and their leaders embrace a new seeker sensitive form of Gospel based on a pseudo-Christian ethic driven primarily by a concern for categories taken from the philosophy of identity politics.

Under this revisionist ethic having same-sex-attracted folks in your church is a virtue. They are a better class of sinner, a protected class. White Christians married to a person of colour celebrate their marrying into an oppressed class! Is your newly appointed pastor a migrant? Advertise that fact on Facebook. Never mind his character or spirituality. Extra diversity points for you!

And so, the Australian churches are taken “captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition…” (Col 2:8). And Martyn Iles with the support of the ACL dared to try free her. Is it any wonder those starved for understanding by weak and cowardly shepherds flocked to one of the only public voices making clear gospel implications in an age of false-progressivism. An era that heralds debauchery and rebellion against God as a way forward for humanity.

Now is it true that doors are closed to the ACL in Canberra? I have no doubt. But again, why has this happened and is it a bad thing? The fact is the Australian Christian Lobby exists, at least in practice so far, to prop up the politics of the Liberal Party here in Australia. And indeed it even tried to do so under the leadership of Iles whereby last election I wrote a critical article of Martyn’s strategy entitled The Australian Christian Lobby: Propping Up a Corrupt Liberal Party Establishment.

However, as it turned out the campaign led by Iles ended up hurting the Liberal Party by destroying conservative support in a number of seats occupied by pseudo-liberal degressives who were known for their support of neo-pagan sexual ethics. In other words, Martyn’s gospel approach to politics meant support for the Liberal party was limited to those individuals he believed still stood for classical libertarian and Christian values. Regardless of whether you agree with his political strategy (I didn’t) you must admit Martyn attempted to apply the biblical standard on an individual candidate basis.

For the ACL’s help in losing the election a number of Liberal party doors are no doubt closed to the ACL. Why? Because under Martyn Iles the usefulness of the ACL as a cuck for Liberal Party politics waned.

The other reason doors are closed to the ACL is because Martyn Iles has become a daring public apologist for evangelic Christianity. He filters news (aka propaganda), the cultural Marxist muck and other worthless celebrity talking points through a gospel framework presenting fairly well reasoned ways to think biblically about each topic.

Now that should make the establishment nervous! It has all the beginnings of a populist movement. In our neo-pagan society rule depends on the dumbing down of the population through constant indoctrination in our schools and institutions. And here is the ACL led by Iles under taking a re-education campaign! A re-education campaign no longer rooted in political alliances but rather allegiance to Jesus Christ! So, you better believe doors have closed inside the fake halls of democracy in Canberra!

But it is a great thing! Because it means Martyn has been speaking biblical truth, finally! And some in politics don’t like it. Whether because of corruption or because their natural allegiances are worldly, Martyn’s presentation of the biblical Jesus as one who requires repentance is an obvious stumbling block for them in a world of contrary narratives.

The fact is, faithful gospel ministry is as much about closing doors as it is about opening them. As the Gospel of John says:

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. -John 3:19-21

So what about the ACL’s “new” strategy? Will it work? Well that depends. How much of the legacy of Martyn Iles does the organisation plan to keep? Who will be running it now and will they continue to maintain the support of the Australian evangelical Christian landscape?

If this strategy, as some have suggested, represents a return to the old days of the ACL under the style of campaigns we saw during the gay mirage debate, then no! I believe it will be an abject failure that will see the organisation splinter and evaporate into irrelevancy.

Bolstering attempts to kiss the feet of those in service to the establishment and propping up the Liberal Party will continue to be a foolhardy enterprise. Indeed, this aspect of Martyn’s job proved to be the least effective from my accounting.

Take for example the Religious Discrimination Bill and lobbying for protection of schools. This embarrassing example of sucking up to parliament until they recognise Christians as victims hasn’t worked. Why? Because the establishment is well aware that its neo-pagan policies destroy Christian culture - that is by design!

The establishment is never going to be interested in protecting Christian interests because that is presently contrary to the agenda. As we move further into technocratic authoritarianism one needs to understand that the pathway for it has been cleared by the cultural Marxist carpet bombing of society so as to remove the old order of things - that includes Christianity!

The ACL board does not appear to understand that this political trajectory has been set by people far higher up than they will ever gain any influence over. Canberra are merely servants to the cause. Indeed, democracy in Australia is largely an enterprise in fakery, the illusion of choice in a world of top down corporate fascism. To play that game is to buy into the illusion that vying for power in politics grants power for change. But as the old saying goes, if voting changed anything they wouldn’t let you do it!

Even if there are some in Canberra with sympathy toward Christian doctrine they yet remain powerless without significant populist support. Martyn Iles appears to have somewhat understood this, which is why I suspect he focused the ACL’s efforts on the pre-political, to re-educate and realign and unify the church around biblical truth.

The famous dissident Vaclav Havel once wrote, “living within the truth becomes the one natural point of departure for all activities that work against the automatism of the system.”2 In other words, lasting political pressure is born chiefly from cultural change - that happens when a society begins to again embrace and live out the truth rather than the lie. This is why it is important to fight the culture war as Christians! Because our Lord Jesus, his sacrifice and his way of life are the only way - and judgement day will prove it! And so, we fight with the only weapon that any Christian has to change the hearts of people - the sword of the Spirit - the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12-13).

So my hope for Martyn Iles in his letting go by the ACL is that he will continue to do what he has been doing, if not with the ACL then with another organisation. This organisation should ramp up re-education efforts aimed and recovering a Christian worldview, firstly in the Church and then for the purposes of outreach. And in all this, Christian activism and political engagement driven by gospel priorities and allegiance to Christ must not be neglected.

Therefore pray for Martyn and the ACL in the fashion of the Apostle Paul:

“Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. (Ephesians 6:19-20)

Of course this year the “Invasion Day” narrative is hotter than ever with protests around the country. I cringe as I watch a Channel 9 newscast with an indigenous speaker crying out “The Enemy are Deniers!” White activist and Green’s Senator Lidia Thorpe shouts “This is a War!”1

I have to say, I actually agree with Senator Thorpe!

War

If the Invasion Day narrative is true, then we Australians are indeed at war with these people.

Reason with me for a second. If the arrival of the First Fleet into Sydney Cove on the 26th January 1788 represented an invasion force. And if that resulted in our ancestors killing indigenous enemy combatants in defense of their land, and they were consequentially vanquished and driven out - If that be the truth and here we are some 230 years later with these activists and descendants claiming ownership of our land - then it appears our enemies have returned!

If Australia day is Invasion Day - then we are indeed still at war. Our land and our goods are once again threatened by these people. If we are at war, if we are invaders, then it is time to settle this question in the way that wars and invasions are settled- in battle! And we must spill blood in defense of our lands.

Therefore, I suggest rather than debating rhetoric with these white Marxists and riled up aboriginal pawns let us instead meet all that claim to be our enemies on the battlefield every January 26th and we will once again vanquish them and settle the matter of who owns the land. After their slaughter we may then return to our BBQs and fireworks free from guilt and proud victors in battle.

The Reality

Now you might think I sound crazy. But it isn’t me that is crazy is it? Because the war narrative is theirs, not mine! I am just taking it to its logical conclusion.

But thankfully there is an alternative. Why? Because the entirety of this Invasion Day narrative is utter lunatic nonsense without a single shred of grounding in reasonable and contextualised factual history!

It is fake history. Cultural Marxist garbage cooked up to rile up the uneducated and the stupid. It is designed only to divide Australians and destroy a country of European Christian heritage. It is the God-haters using the struggles of others to hate on God! And they preach to the vulnerable a paralyzing de-humanizing anti-gospel of anger and victimhood built on welfare and the installation of a permanent lack of self-respect.

The fact is every Australian alive today, even those who descend from those original tribal Australians (a tribute to the fact that the indigenous were not our enemies and that there was no invasion) - are benefactors and inheritors of land, goods, wealth & health that comes entirely from the successful colonization of Australia!

Therefore, there is only one question remaining: What is each of us going to do with that inheritance? Fight our neighbor? Or build each other up for the betterment of Australia? These activists want a fight because that is what God-haters do - they tear each other to pieces!

Now you know the cultural Marxists will never be happy right? Changing the date will never satisfy them. Letting out every black man or woman from prison will never be enough. Forfeiture of lands and property will never repay! Because it’s NOT about justice! It is about power! And not power for the descendants of a once indigenous people! They are simply pawns for those looking to reshape Australia into a multi-polar globalist new world order by destroying a once Christianized culture.

Australians of Aboriginal descent are being used, sold a bone-ass lie and the more they and we embrace it the more we embrace our own destruction and impoverishment, handing land, power, freedoms and our wealth to the ultra-rich to settle the matters of crisis and class-warfare they themselves create!

The truth, the key idea that the Marxist doesn’t want you to know is this: There is NO divide! There is no us and them. No “first nations people” vs “every other Australian!”

There is only a current generation of Australians who regardless of their ethnic backgrounds now possess Australia and we do so only as stewards - entirely by God’s grace! And we all ought be very thankful for it - because God may yet take all of it from every one of us!

A Celebration of the Gospel

Regardless of the struggles of nation building, some 230+ years ago God brought grace permanently to Australian shores. He took pity on the tribal peoples and brought them companions from England of whom in time could reach out and proclaim and embody the love of God’s son.

There were hardships, conflicts, murders and misunderstandings from all sides in the making of our nation. Yes, a testimony to the wickedness of humanity regardless of skin colour.

But God showed mercy on the lost tribal peoples who were well known for infanticide2 and cannibalism - eating their own young children!3

Among other things then Australia day is a testimony of the Gospel of God’s grace. He reaches out to a far away and unworthy people, tribes so ignorant they consume the flesh of their offspring! Yet in response he brings ships of men and women with knowledge rather than fire from heaven. Marvel at his kindness!

More than 20 years ago I visited an Aboriginal Church in Western Australia with a friend. Two white men sat in the midst of Aboriginal Christians hearing a message from the bible. We sang to Jesus together. We ate kangaroo tail fresh from the firepits, a rather awful yet edible smell I won’t forget until the day I die. No children were cooking on the fire - a testimony to the grace of God.

After the service I spoke with one of the older aboriginal males in attendance who told me of his biggest struggles: He said it was hard to be a Christian when he went back home to live with his relatives because there was much drunkeness and he would be tempted to fall into sin rather than honor Christ.

He spoke honestly with me as a young man and he never once blamed white people or anyone else for his struggles - Because He loved Jesus. He knew his greatest enemy was his own fallen humanity - and in that struggle we were brothers in arms!

Now that is the truth worth celebrating every Australia Day! And the war mongering activists would rather rape your conscience than have us all united in the God who loves us, and who gave his Son to die for us.

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. " - 1 John 4:10-16

But let’s think more critically. The fact is Jacinda is hated by a reasonable segment of the population. Memes and put-downs of her horse like appearance have been common place on alt and social media for years.

In tribute XYZ wrote an article last week entitled “Horse Face Jacinda Ardern put out to pasture.” I had a chuckle, though I don’t share Hiscox’s view that Ardern is a trans-sexual. Some would say it is wrong to disrespect political “leaders” with such terms but that got me thinking. What ultimately earned her that nickname? Was it her appearance? Are a considerable portion of the politically engaged just nasty people who want to bring attention to an aspect of her appearance she can’t change?

No, I don’t think so. She earned that name not by her appearance, rather by her actions which flow from an ugly God-hating heart devoted to the principles of secularism and socialism. Which is why Jacinda said that “Abortion is a Fundamental Human Right”1 and introduced abortion laws to NZ decriminalising the murder of babies beyond 20 weeks saying, “not only did I take a position, I pursued it and changed the law in Parliament.”2 That is why babies are now left to die after “failed” abortions in NZ.3

I was sickened by Jacinda’s virtue signalling hypocrisy during the NZ shooting where she wore the hidjab as a head covering for her public appearances.4 Why? She isn’t Muslim. Is it not possible to offer condolences whilst owning your own secular death-cult religion? But this virtue signalling works to inspire the irreligious and progressives of our day who only know how to emote and not think.

The reality was plain to see. Jacinda dressed up to inflate her political standing. Conveniently, Jacinda was removing rights to own guns within weeks.5 What crime did the law abiding gun owners in NZ commit? Nothing, just victims of socialist policy and manufactured crises.

Jacinda became infamous during the Corona propaganda campaign stating that her government was “the single source of truth”. She locked down NZ over a single COVID case.6 Then there is that smug video of Jacinda stating that if arrivals to NZ weren’t compliant in taking their vaccines they would remain incarcerated for two extra weeks which should prove effective in coercing them to take it! Unfortunately I can’t find the video to share it with you.

I could continue, but these points are sufficient to illustrate that Jacinda is a political accomplice to the murder of children, a manipulative hypocrite and a psychopath. That is why she is known as Horse Face to many. That is why I refer to her as a modern day witch - because she is. She serves evil.

Now back to the question of why Jacinda is leaving. Is it burn out? Or is it because she is Horse Face. I think in large part the latter. She is hated and culpable for too much that not even the mainstream media can prop up her reputation any longer. Therefore it is time for the powers that shouldn’t be to change the cover on their book because it is worn and becoming see-through.

Reignite Democracy released a video suggesting the resignation of Ardern represents a win for freedom lovers because the pressure is building. I beg to differ, this is not a win, but Monica is not entirely wrong mind you. The pressure has built and has certainly contributed to Jacinda’s resignation, but this is how things are supposed to work. Letting go of a politician and putting a new one in her place is precisely the pressure relief valve that the coming and going of politicians was designed for in the democrigarchical system.

Many people mistakenly think that the politicians are running things. I don’t believe so. I recently watched an episode of Downton Abbey and wondered if we were to map the political class to the social strata of the abbey, where would Jacinda Ardern fit? I suggest she is probably on the level of the butler. Head of the administrative affairs of the house, but ultimately in service to his Lordship. We the people don’t get to vote on whose in charge, we get to vote on the butler, the footmen and the valet. And they are easily dismissed by his Lordship when too much dirt begins to stick.

To use some biblical imagery, Jacinda Ardern is a scapegoat. In Leviticus 16:1-34 Aaron the priest of Israel consecrated two Goats, one was sacrificed, the other he laid hands on then confessed all the sins and wickedness of Israel and sent if off into the wilderness never to be seen again. It was a symbolic ritual of sins forgotten.

Jacinda is being sent off to the wilderness. She is taking away all the sins of the establishment these last several years that consecrated her term in office. And with a new political face comes a fresh slate for the globalist bureaucracy in NZ. The anger among the populace subsides and they forget the crimes committed and hope is restored that perhaps this time, with a new politician, things will be different. But it won’t.

But let’s end on positive note - the biblical ritual of the scapegoat is just a symbolic gesture of God’s forgiveness. God’s forgiveness was real, but the ritual was only an anticipation of his true atonement for sin - the sacrifice of Christ.

Likewise sending Jacinda into the wilderness won’t really erase her sins either. It won’t erase the sins of those that trained her and put her in office and it won’t erase the sins of those that voted and supported her vile form of politics. Yes the people will forget, that is the whole point, but whilst Jacinda can run from politics, she’ can’t run from God, nobody can, not even those that dared to call her Horse Face.

And so there is a day of reckoning coming, as Hebrews says “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” (Hebrews 9) This is good news, because gallop as fast as she may, Jacinda ain’t getting away.

The retirement of Jacinda is a reminder from politics of a greater spiritual reality. Men and women go to elaborate lengths to cover up and hide their sins in order to maintain power and status. Is it any wonder that Christ said the poor in Spirit inherit the kingdom, and the meek inherit the earth? (Matthew 5). I saw none of those characteristics in Jacinda, but are they in you - Freedom fighter?

According to Freedom Media WA, Senior Commissioner Rachel Cosentino issued a direction that any taxi or Uber driver ferrying a nurse to the protest would face sanctions. WA Premier, Mark McGowan said the nurses were engaged in “unlawful activity.” Draconian to say the least, but unsurprising in communist Australia.

It is amusing to me that the WA government expects anybody to care what it defines as “illegal”. It is hard for citizens to respect the whimsical decrees of a criminal cartel, even more so when times are tough. But there is also irony in the fact that these employees of PharmaGov who helped administer the vaccine tyranny are now themselves chewed up and spit out by the establishment they were loyal to. The government doesn’t care about health.

These nurses want a 5% pay rise and a new system of nurse to patient ratios. You can watch the rest of their complaints on the protest LiveStream.

It isn’t hard to see why they want change. The “healthcare” system is in shambles from what I gather. I don’t really use it, but we’re told there are too many sick people and not enough staff and beds to care for patients.

There is ambulance ramping. Patients are left in corridors for days waiting for a bed. There are long queues for surgery. The stress on nursing staff must be significant. And I would guess the fall out from the suicide injections aren’t helping.

But here is where I part ways and become less sympathetic for the plight of these nurses. Despite the difficult circumstances facing healthcare workers in Western Australia there is something far more disturbing to me about thousands of people screaming at the government to fix the “healthcare” system.

Why is that? Because it reveals a group of people and a society generally entrenched and fixated upon the idealistic fantasy of socialism to provide a decent healthcare system. And screaming for more socialism won’t fix socialism.

It is precisely because PharmaGov runs the healthcare system on behalf of its monopolistic corporate overlords that the health system is burdensome, ineffective and a down right curse on all Australians.

It is time to quit this system already. Throwing more money at an ineffective greedy monopoly is only going to magnify the pain it inflicts on people. Australia’s socialist “healthcare” is slum care - because slum level care is all socialism is ever good at providing.

Allow me to illustrate the problem. During the WA election I visited a coffee shop. There faced with Mark McGowan’s face in the daily paper I commented how much I disliked his politics to the staff because he represents a socialist Australia. The young lady behind the counter, confused and offended asked why I didn’t like socialism. “Don’t you want free healthcare?”, she retorted.

No! I definitely don’t want free healthcare!

Firstly, slum care in Australia isn’t free. In a recent tax return I paid over $2000 in Medicare levies. My wife likewise paid over $1000. That is over $3000 of our annual income contributing toward the slum care system on top of exorbitant rates of income taxation.

Now how many times did any of us use that system we helped pay for that year? Not once. In fact we almost never use it, not unless we require a doctor’s certificate. Over the past ten years, we have turned over $30,000+ for maybe four $200 trips to the doctor for this version of healthcare. It would have been better for me to pay the $800 as and when I require this type of service - a whopping saving of $29,200!

So have I gone without healthcare for the last 10 years? Absolutely not. We have had to pay extra on top of this forced mandatory contribution of $30,000 to receive the kind of healthcare we actually want.

Let’s say among other things, your version of healthcare looks like mine:

1. Yearly treatments and testing from a biological dentist.
2. A Nutritionist to test for blood chemistry health markers.
3. Dietary Supplements.
4. Vitamin Injections.
5. A Gym Membership.
6. Massage and Sauna.

This kind of healthcare isn’t subsidized by the socialist slum care system. This means I pay twice!

The socialist system defines “healthcare” for everybody. It equalizes and mandates a system right for everybody from the top down and the monster it creates is something operating at the lowest common denominator for a serf class driven by monopolistic corporations selectively chosen to deliver this type of “care” who can then profit massively off the misery of those forced to participate.

An alternative market driven healthcare system would promote continual improvement through natural competition. In that system eventually only the healthcare providers producing quality healthcare can survive in the market.

Let’s say you have cancer. There is a practitioner down the road who is known for curing people using a combination of scientific and traditional techniques. You know a few people in the neighborhood who have recommended him and they are still alive and well 10 years later and are following his principles.

Meanwhile you have a number of relatives who were referred to their oncologist by their local GP. A few weeks later their hair fell out, they look about 30 years older and have a life expectancy of maybe 5 years.

Which healthcare practitioner would you visit? Not the first one in socialist Australia because he isn’t allowed to operate! At least not out in the open. That version of healthcare is shutdown by the healthcare authorities in Australia whose job it is to prop up the socialistic slum care system that is so obviously falling apart.

Now I could have things backwards in regards to successful cancer treatments, unlikely, but it really doesn’t matter does it? Because in a genuine market driven healthcare system eventually it is going to be obvious to most people where you go to get real help for cancer. The quality healthcare providers will be producing undeniable results. Their Google reviews will be 5 stars, your neighbors will be raving about the experience. The practice manager will be rolling in cash and his nurses are well paid and happy!

Meanwhile the providers with patients still waiting in the hallway, hairless and irradiated from toxic IV bags dripping into their forearm or clutching their chest from a vaccine induced lung clot, their online reviews aren’t so good and their workers are on strike and protesting! Can you see it now?

In a market driven healthcare system profit is tied to results. In a socialist healthcare system profit is maintained by protecting the monopoly and eliminating the competition. This means our socialist healthcare allows quackery to thrive by masquerading as “care” and nobody knows any different. It has little motivation to improve. Innovations are suppressed and cures are looked upon with suspicion. Without competition profit is maximized by prolonging sickness unto death.

That old saying, “There is no money in healthy people, nor dead people, only sick people” becomes true only in a system of socialised medical healthcare propped up by government regulation and taxation!

Therefore our system of health exists to keep Australians in a perpetual state of illness to be fed upon by a vulturous racketeering pharmaceutical gang of thieves with an ever increasing array of snake oil treatments aimed at relieving symptoms and never getting at a root cause.

Sadly a market driven healthcare system does not exist in any true form. Certainly not in America either. The American establishment have created the ultimate tyrannical medical monopoly on the planet and it extends to Australia under the guise of “free healthcare.”

Australia’s “free” healthcare system is a protection racket for corporate medical quackery. Slum care for the slave class! The system eliminates freedom of choice, destroys healthcare market opportunities and drastically increases the cost of accessing genuine healthcare for everybody!

That is ultimately why the nurses are overworked. That is why the ambulances are ramping. That is why people wait in hallways for days just waiting for space to lie down.

…And that is why I don’t want “free” healthcare in Australia!

Oh you think I am talking about current affairs? Actually these words are by General Smedley Butler in 1935 from a little book called War is a Racket. If you haven’t read this gem now is the time.1 It will only take an hour.

Because yes, our illustrious “leaders” are fomenting war ….again. And why shouldn’t they? It pays high dividends.

The purpose of this article is simple. To cut through the absurd war-mongering propaganda and remind you of this truth:

War is Still a Racket.

I won’t spoil the General’s book for you, but I will draw on a number of lessons he teaches as I talk briefly about the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

War is Profitable For an Elite Few, On Both Sides, If Even There are Sides

War always makes a few families and their businesses ALOT of money. Stinking rich beyond measure. If it didn’t, peace would be easy. The biggest threat to peace is not Putin, but profit and power.

Soldiers die not to defend freedom and democracy, but elite purse strings.

Ukraine is no different. How can America defend democracy in a foreign country when they don’t even have democracy at home? This empire building is simply an expansion of the Democrigarchy

This so called democratic Ukrainian government has cancelled political parties with agendas contrary to NATO whilst smearing politicians as Russian colluders and shutting down their bank accounts.2

If you want to know why US politicians just printed another $54 billion USD,3 thieving it from the people and fueling what is becoming the worst inflationary crises in history and then sending it to an ex-actor, comedian, homosexual-wannabe-porn-star turned puppet dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy then it is simple:

Ukraine is a money laundering operation.

And if clicking on that link and watching Zelenskyy dance in high-heals didn’t convince you to die in a ditch in defense of Western wokeism then surely him playing piano with his penis will inspire patriotism and a desire to kill Russians. Actors make perfect fake dignitaries in place of toppled governments - it is all a show after all.

Back to the point. All that money gets spent on elite business interests, especially weapons manufacture at a time when everyone else’s wealth is about to evaporate in a currency crisis. This war has shifted the focus off the COVID crime while sifting billions of evaporating cash into hard assets and a power base in Europe that will last into the future. All while you drown in inflationary debt.

And when it comes to profit and power, sides don’t matter! At least not to the rich. While you are shooting Russian serfs and being shot at in return, Western elites will be shaking hands with Russian businessmen making huge deals to kill you on the battlefield. Just ask General Motors and the Nazis.

There Are No Good Guys. And if there Are, It Certainly Isn’t Us.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. -General Butler

It is irrefutable I think that the situation in Ukraine has escalated to a point of conflict due to US/Western backed NATO provocation. That is the view of academics like Professor John Measherimer. Watch his lecture titled “The Causes and Consequences of the Ukraine Crisis.

While the Australian media is busy painting Putin as a desperate, dying and maniacal crazy man bent on world domination, they neglect to mention that those billions of US dollars are going toward rearming the Azov Battalion in Ukraine. This radical group of Neo-Nazis were trained by Western-globalist parties to goad Russia into conflict by threatening their borders and murdering Ukrainian citizens of Russian ethnicity.

Left-winger Jimmy Dore highlighted the US hypocrisy in Ukraine earlier this year in an interview titled The Truth about Ukraine, Russia & War. The fact is the US empire has a long and unforgivable history of war-mongering and genocide at the core of its foreign policy.

And the situation in Ukraine is complex. There is a back story. But the media know that many people are simpletons who want to be told what to think. So they serve up a simplistic and fake war narrative. Joseph Watson commenting on the fake news stories coming out of Ukraine reminds us that The First Casualty of War is Truth.

But if you actually want to make your own mind up about the Russia-Ukraine conflict then you need some historical background. Try watching the Ukraine on Fire Documentary by Oliver Stone.

You could also obtain some balance and a history lesson from the Russian mad-man himself in his September 21st Speech. But you aren’t supposed to listen to the other side, especially if he sounds more coherent than your own leaders. Unless perhaps you are one of those Christians who reads the bible (Proverbs 18:17).

The fact is, the western war-sanction machine wants war. It sells guns if nothing else, it thins the herd and in the 2020’s will serve Globalist agendas at a time of economic upheaval and transition. A transition that is centered on attaining energy dominance and control via the climate change hoax. This means manufacturing a European energy crisis to torture the nations into submission. War IS a Racket.

Now I don’t believe for one second that Putin is the good guy either. Some have pointed out he is on board with the new era of corporate technocratic globalisation. And I don’t know who controls Russia, perhaps some of the same interests at work in the West! But one thing I know for sure is that it isn’t Putin. He is some kind of figurehead, someone to point at as the bad man, a face you are told to hate for no real reason.

So Who is the Enemy?

Well the recent Pretend Pandemic has me thinking that it isn’t Putin. He may be a dictator in Russia but we have our own dictators to worry about! Let the Russians worry about theirs. Why would I want to fight a foreign country at the behest of a political establishment who just tried to poison my family under threat of total loss of income?

The western establishment pushing for war in Ukraine fired rubber bullets at my own countrymen at the Shrine of Remembrance! They arrested my brother in Christ for exercising in Sydney. They arrested a pregnant women in her home for a Facebook post. They locked up a Melbourne Pastor for daring to run a Church service. The list goes on. I think maybe the war has started and there is no need to leave home to get killed, persecuted or imprisoned. Russian dictators are the least of our problems.

But there was another more subtle enemy during the Corona era. The Normie.4 Their participation in all things COVID ensured ongoing persecution for those not wanting to be injected. Normies checked in and sipped their cappuccinos while us anti-vaxxers were treated like second-class citizens. This mob rule forced many to choose between paying the bills and getting multiple injections they didn't want and knew didn't work.

You see the Normie made COVID tyranny possible! Say what you will about our corrupt political establishment but it was the believing masses that are culpable for the bio-terror state. And many are still paying the price with their lives due to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. Which was never a thing, but now it is. The vaccine does work.

Have you see those Normie memes? It’s that stock image of the drooling, hairless, zombie figure with the ten syringes sticking into him caricaturing the media programmed person who believes everything they see on TV. Well this Mass Formation Psychosis induced by the virus fear campaign has me thinking:

During actual war time, with a relentless war time propaganda campaign : What does the Normie look like and what role does he play?

Here is a thought. Take that same drooling zombie and put a military uniform on him. Send him off to Ukraine. You can leave the needles sticking in of course. Isn’t that now the person who believes the war stories? Isn’t he now the one empowering the falsified state of war narrative? The soldier, volunteer and war supporter defending elite purse strings and a new world order, *cough*, I mean “democracy”? Doesn’t this kind of participation prolong suffering for everybody like in COVID?

And who were the real heroes of the COVID era? It wasn’t the 70% that were complicit with the narrative. These surrendered their wills. Their blind television faith made the whole nightmare ordeal an ongoing reality.

Have not the heroes of COVID proven to be those who resisted the injections and stood by their principles? Those refusing to mask, check-in, or hand over fundamental rights and freedoms on the word of a health bureaucrat without a single shred of credible scientific evidence for any novel virus. Those who countered the relentless pseudo-scientific lies?!

Well in war time who are the heroes? Those that blindly go off in support of war? Or the draft resisters? The “anti-war” people? The “Cowards?” The “Pro-Russians?” Those that counter the narrative until it collapses! It is worth thinking about.

General Smedley offered three suggestions to end the war racket:

• Take the profit out of war.

• Permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.

• Limit military forces to home defense.

Logical advice from a decorated soldier.

Now when it comes to having a Christian discussion about participation in war the conversation usually goes something like this:

1. The bible doesn’t condemn “just use” of violence;

2. There are soldiers in the bible who are Christian;

3. Therefore, God doesn’t condemn Christians going to war.

4. And, if you are pacifist you must be a Jehovah’s Witness.

I hope that after reading this article you will realize how shallow this type of conversation is when it comes to interpreting the war racket and developing a biblical response to it!

It will suffice me now to say that if our sense of justice obligating us to war in Ukraine equates to mob rule by mass media conditioning, then God help us! We must be more discerning in this age of fear.

I contend the best way to end any racket is to refuse to participate. When the elites feel their purse strings are threatened and they start to bang on their war drums the logical solution is to act like we are all deaf. Nothing encourages peace negotiations like the absence of an army.

But be on the look out for a false flag.

At face value the purpose of Biden’s speech was about protecting American democracy:

“These two ideas, equality and democracy, are the rock on which this nation is built…. But as I stand here tonight equality and democracy are under assault…”

The speech is filled with platitudes about democracy and liberty and the threats to it. “We the people….”, says Biden. Naturally one might be inclined to think that protecting democracy is at the heart of what the speech is about.

But in actual fact, it is not. Not at all!

The word “democracy” comes from the Greek word “demos” meaning people, and “kratos” meaning rule. It is the idea that the power to rule lies with the people.

Let me skip over the details of democratic governance and spare you from the idealistic notion that democracy actually exists. It doesn’t.

Contrary to the rhetoric America is not some “extraordinary experiment of self governance.” So you cannot protect what isn’t there. But you can protect what is!

I call it the Democrigarchy. And protecting the Democrigarchy and the Great American Divide is what Biden’s speech is really all about.

Democrigarchy is oligarchical rule with an illusory face of democracy. As Mary Poppins would say democracy is the spoon full of sugar that makes the medicine go down. And the medicine is oligarchical rule. You accept rule by the few because you are told you are ruled by the many of which you believe you are one.

Think again. Go listen to Biden again if you have the stomach. Count how many times he uses the word “democracy” and any associated phrases like “equality” or “liberty”. You will easily lose count. It is simple brainwashing through repetition. Hear something enough and you will believe it. And Americans have been taught it every day since birth precisely because democracy itself is a narrative of control.

Protecting the Democrigarchy means maintaining the illusion of democracy masking the oligarchy. Without the sugar the medicine tastes bitter and you would spew it out like a naughty child.

And what better way to have you investing in the illusion than to make you believe you need to fight tooth and nail to defend it. That is why they protect the Great American Divide! The powers that be want division and they are stoking it.

You may have noticed the ridiculous backdrop to Biden’s speech. An ominous red glow. Either Biden is trialing Satan as his new public relations manager or the public relations team know exactly what they were doing.

Biden is the evil guy now and needs to appear that way to the vast majority of Trump supporters trying to “save America”. Elections are coming. Defend the Democrigarchy at all cost Republicans!

You think it was by chance Donald Trump pointed out the ominous red background in his Pennsylvania speech a few days later? “Our country is going to hell…”, he says.

Now Trump is a yammering buffoon. His long winded speech was a litany of American woes laid at the feet of an evil Biden and the Democrats who are the true “enemies of the state”:

“Republicans and the MAGA movement are not the ones trying to undermine our democracy. We are the ones trying to save our democracy… the danger to democracy comes from the radical left not from the right.”

So you might think Trump is about protecting democracy and freedom from another angle. But he isn’t. He too serves the Democrigarchy by preserving the Great American Divide. Left vs Right. Stoking the fake democratic war with MAGA rhetoric so Americans keep chasing the ever illusive democratic carrot by fighting one another.

Sadly we are no different here in Australia.

Many Aussies anticipated the government would relax all the COVID restrictions leading into the 2022 federal election. Indeed they were right and why was it so? I hear you saying, “It is because the politicians want our votes and need them to stay in power.” Oh stop it you blind and pathetic believer in democracy!

Like all oligarchies, democrigarchies don’t need votes to maintain power. You think the people you vote for have any practical power? Albo, Biden, Trump, are professionally groomed sock puppets. They just come in different colours so you don’t get bored.

Your vote keeps nobody in power. But your faith and allegiance to the illusion of democracy keeps oligarchical rule a practical reality. And the illusion of democracy is threatened by a boot on your face at election time.

Masks, mandates and curfews don’t exactly cry “democracy”, so the bitter reality of oligarchical rule is always relaxed at election time. A spoon full of sugar to last you another 4 years! The democratic farce is the oil that makes oligarchical rule run more smoothly - for them, not you.

Recently there was a well-meaning political movement called “Reignite Democracy Australia”. But one has to chuckle because there is nothing to reignite. In all our life times there has only ever been the Democrigarchy and any benefits and privileges we experienced were metered out at its discretion.

Dave Cullen1 pointed this out recently in an excellent video entitled The End of Plenty in which he likened our transition from the present system of consumerism with its abundance to a technocratic dystopian energy restricted society as being like a farmer culling a percentage of his herd and reorganising the use of his farmland. We are being managed like cattle in a system we don’t control because we don’t own the farm. For awhile we were fed on abundant grass because it served the Democrigarchy to fatten us for the slaughter. Slaughter time is here.

As Dave suggests, the way out is a new system. This means dispensing with the charade of Democrigarchy. Stop attending Trump rallys. Adopt a new faith system.

Let me suggest the main alternative to start with. It is an ideological one.

In its earliest centuries Christianity was a dangerous religion. It wasn’t dangerous because it offered any violent threat to the political establishment. Christians were respectful of ruling powers.

But the Christian message concerned authorities because it contains a new vision for human rule. One that would slowly usurp and replace the power of worldly authority. Not via force, not through a new political saviour, but through the humble Jesus. Though he is God, he proved himself to be the truely benevolent king by dying on a cross for sinners.

Jesus was then raised by God to institute a new kind of kingdom whose subjects were truly brothers of the King and the benefits of his reign would apply equally to all. Death itself is vanquished for its citizenry. His reign is true liberty:

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.
- 1 Corinthians 15:24-27

This was a dangerous faith to adopt in an era of statism where trust in a “divine” Roman emperor was demanded for stability to the empire of which metered out exclusive rights and privileges to its loyal citizens.

But in Jesus Christ truly lasting benefits ultimately come from heaven above and not from the state.

Are you sick of Democrigarchy? Looking for something better? Then it isn’t ultimately found in restoring the façade of democracy.

If you want a better society, start by building it upon new faith. Usurp the powers that be. Enter God’s kingdom by believing in Jesus the King. Unlike Democrigarchy, Jesus is upfront and honest about being the true and ultimate oligarch. That way you can stop pretending the power resides with you!

Of course the cupcakes, the paint, the hair dye, the silly costuming is just there to make such behaviour appear palatable. They are a pathetic attempt to hide the awful reality of many homosexual male’s promiscuous lifestyles and their consequences. The pretty colours mask the long-term trauma, physical and emotional abuse suffered by those left to the mercy of a criminal drug-pushing pharmaceutical cartel profiteering off the push into the transhuman-transgender agenda.

It isn’t about inclusion. And even if it were it isn’t clear to me why anyone of sound adult mind would want these things mainstream. But that is precisely the point. The mainstreaming of brokenness and perversity is exactly what the Australian school system is all about - the systematic indoctrination and psychological torture of Australian children. And it’s not by accident.

If only the reasons why you should extricate your children from the Australian school system ended there.

One of my children was tasked in English with writing a persuasive essay. He wrote on the topic of abortion arguing that it was immoral to terminate a human life in the womb.

After completion the feedback from his female teacher was “be careful writing about abortion as a male.” Excuse me?

Yes his teacher is sexist! What a role model!

But it isn’t just the sexism. Such a comment reveals the depths of irrationality among those tasked with tutoring Australian children. Last I checked it requires a male to make a baby. And it requires a father to raise, love, serve and protect one also. When did having children become a woman only thing? Perhaps when we destroyed the family.

My son is a prospective father. Why shouldn’t he write about abortion? Why shouldn’t he start practicing a fatherly role now by protecting little children? That’s his job. That should be the teacher’s job too.

If your child is demonstrating more reason than their teacher you are probably sending your kids to an Australian school.

I wish I could finish here but my children throughout their school life were exposed to a steady diet of toxic neo-pagan propaganda:

1. Videos on the how and why of gender transitions.

2. Climate Change Extinction

3. Attacks upon traditional gender roles.

4. Attacks upon traditional Australian values.

5. Promotion of Scientism.

6. Did I mention Climate Change?

The list goes on. It’s all nonsense. A complete waste of their schooling years. Mind rotting trash designed to ensure they stay dumb, servile and ashamed of themselves while a neo-Marxist elite transition Australian society into a godless technocratic totalitarianism where once existed a Christianized nation state.

Here’s a doozy. Heard of Tommorow Man? Well apparently it’s a program for Australian secondary schools to “Reinvent Masculinity by Disrupting Stereo Types and Building Emotional Muscle.” From their website:

“The tide is changing for men young and old, and the outdated stereotype is leaving some of our mates, dads, sons, uncles, teammates, workmates and brothers stranded without the tools for a healthy life.

We lose one man every 3.5 hours to suicide in Australia. So we say enough is enough. Let’s smash the straight jacket that the traditional male stereotype can be. And give men the complete toolkit to live a full life.

I hate to point out the obvious. But if suicide among men is on the rise, as it has been for awhile, then I suggest it was the old male and female stereotypes that were working for us. They gave men meaning and purpose. They gave young boys direction and more solid role models. And they produced a safer society for women.

The fact is our departure from the old stereotypes motivated by the ideology of feminism and now cultural Marxism is what is driving young men to desperation. We don’t need a tomorrow man, we need a yesterday man, a complete about-face. Turn back. To Christ and his instruction for Christian families no less.1

Don’t get me wrong. It is good for men to discuss issues facing men. It’s good to improve communication skills. It is good to learn conflict resolution. It’s good to admit we men aren’t always as tough as we think. But if we do all that under the assumption it is those pesky gender stereotypes that have served families and kept society together for thousands of years that are to blame for our present epidemic of depressed and pharmaceutically drugged-up man-babies then we are entirely missing the root problem.

And it’s in your child’s school - Because they are throwing more fuel on the fire.

The Myth of the Christian School

“Well send your child to a Christian school”, I hear you saying. Unfortunately there isn’t one. There is no such thing.

What there are is private schools, taking government funding, teaching a similarly nonsensical version of the Australian government curriculum containing a steady diet of the same kind of cultural Marxist rubbish.

These schools have slapped on the label “Christian” and put a cross on their building. These institutions employ Christian teachers all schooled in education studies by virtually all the same secular “progressive” universities where non-Christian school teachers study. These wouldn’t know Christian education. They have never experienced it! These schools then include a mandatory religious class where “Jesus” is the answer to every question.

It is difficult to comprehend how this insipid form of education could ever be called “Christian”. It is surely a total embarrassment to the name of our Lord.

To create truly Christian education in current day Australia one would need to entirely abandon the Australian government curriculum.

Indeed the entire school system as it is currently imagined needs abandoning in favour of a system of schooling based entirely on a Christian worldview to serve the Christian goal: namely the conversion of the entire nation to the recognition that Jesus Christ is our singular Lord & God!

Not convinced the Christian school is a myth?

One of my children was studying the topic of Civil rights at her “Christian” high school. Great topic, what did it involve? Essays by John Locke? The Imago Dei in Genesis 1:27? Uh no. She attended a talk on the present misfortunes of indigenous Australians at the hands of white Australians of whom the teacher stated he wasn’t qualified to speak on the topic because he was white.

O… K… then….How about you just shut up? Teaching More Racism!

Then there was the class on historic propaganda and stereotypes where an image was analysed promoting Australia Day using a white man standing proudly with his esky and captioned “Australians: Man Your Eskys.”2

The image was then interpreted as depicting the white male as the centralist figure in a now dead Australia who happened to love his alcohol a little too much.

Seriously? Do I actually pay for this “education”?

Maybe we just weren’t ashamed of being white and having a BBQ in the 1940s & 50s. More Cultural Marxism! If only we were still manning those eskys!

The fact is “Christian” schools are not helping to stop the steady decline of society. Why? Because they are teaching the same nonsense determined by the same propagandists employed by our governments aimed at keeping our kids dumb, servile and ashamed of our cultural heritage - especially any semblance of traditional Christian thinking.

Graduates of “Christian” schools are also modern Marxists with a Christian veneer who have put down no sufficient root in Christian doctrine to sufficiently counter the anti-Christian narratives of our day.

Save Your Kids

The solution to this problem of institutionalised child abuse masquerading as education in Australia will need to be the subject of many other articles if we are to redeem Australian children for Christ.

Nevertheless I can say it took constant effort as Christian parents talking to our kids to counter the fake narratives our children were reporting to us every other week at school and instead trying to instill a Christian foundation using the Bible, history and reason.

The trouble is, you can’t catch all of the propaganda! Like it or not, much of it has still sunk in! It is in their psyche. It is like the smell of bait and fish guts on your hands after you go fishing. That night you just can’t wash it off no matter how hard you try! Neither will you be able to wash off the smell of paganism after your children leave school.

Extricate your children therefore from the Australian school system and any and all attachment to the current system of education in Australia before it is too late!

Fortunately all three of my remaining school age children are leaving school this year and I couldn’t be happier about it. What a complete waste of their time! If I ever had another child, he or she would set no foot in any Australian School, ever!

Home school if you have to. Hire a theologically trained teacher and create a home school co-operative. Start a Church School! Design your own curriculum, or import a system from a Christian organization championing the rebirth of a classical and reformed Christian education from the ground up - one with no ties to the current system and whose vision is the total supremacy of Christ.

These folks are the new-normalised and are invested in the pretend pandemic in a way that is not easy to let go. They believe society should always have been this cautious of disease. These types need to do something, anything, to take part. It feels good. The Babylon Bee recently parodied this problem for Maskaholics in a Maskers Anonymous meeting.

One reason the pretend pandemic prevails is because of the costume we were made to wear. When you don’t have any extra dead or sick people during a “pandemic”, at least no more than any other ordinary flu season, then the only way to have a “pandemic” is to play pretend. I will put my mask costume on. You put your mask costume on. Let us act out a “pandemic” and hope nobody notices the fact that nobody around us is actually dying.

The pretend pandemic has always been non-sensical. From the beginning of the COVID saga we were told to watch out for regular cold and flu like symptoms while at the same time the politician talking heads kept saying it was a “deadly” virus. It dawned on me the other day how they get away with it.

In the dystopian radical-left new normal Marxist irreality language doesn’t mean what it used to! You already know this from observing the politically correct. Matt Walsh encountered the problem when he tried to define the word “woman” in his recent Daily Wire documentary What is a Woman?

But I realize now this phenomenon of playing fast and loose with words extends to ordinary adjectives in the corporate state propaganda. This way of speaking fuels the pretend pandemic.

In the old normal “deadly” meant something that would likely kill whoever it came into contact with. That appears to be how the vast majority of the population interpreted it. That is why they injected themselves with an experimental-use product now thought by scientific experts to be categorically poisonous and ineffective.1

But that is not what the corporate state means by its adjective. The new “deadly” means it could possibly kill someone, maybe, if we test them enough while they have cancer, while they are over the average age of death in Australia (82), while having co-morbidities, after recently receiving the experimental injections, or worse, an overdose of the euthanasia drug Midazolam2 while in aged care.

But that isn’t a deadly virus you say! …. ssshhhh. They’re dead aren’t they? So it is deadly! You just didn’t know we were working to a new definition! The new virus is as deadly as taking a shower…whilst also slitting your wrists. Don’t shower again.

In the era of the pretend pandemic unless you listen closely to the fine print attached to every word you cannot comprehend the actual meaning of the neo-Marxist dictionary and you are going to make false assumptions.

But it isn’t just the COVID costume or the absurd propaganda that keeps the pretend pandemic going. It is also the “science”.

John Flint recently published an article in the West Australian about how he caught COVID twice in 21 days! Yes you read that right. His experience is the reason why “experts” need to rethink the science of COVID re-infection.

How anyone could take the article seriously I have no idea. John tested himself at least twice in three weeks after experiencing cold and flu like symptoms. The second time was after a night out drinking with mates. Seriously? We used to call that a hangover while still getting over a recent cold. But No! Now we are getting constantly re-infected with COVID! Trust the science people, if you are mad enough.

Let me spoil it for you. The tests are about as reliable as a wet nappy. They were designed to be. But without the tests there is no COVID only boring old cold and flu symptoms. The testing is like the masks, just props on the set, without which we might stop and think, “Hey, this is ordinary stuff, let’s get on with life!”

But they don’t want you getting on with ordinary life, whatever that is? They will tell us. Just keep on testing.

Surprisingly John Flint published again in yesterday’s Sunday Times about the desperate need for “new weapons” in the fight against COVID in which he spruiked the new COVID antiviral pills and next generation vaccines. See a pattern in his writing? Oh it might look like “news” but this is actually paid promotion of worthless snake oils wrapped in pseudo-scientific-rhetoric.

And so on and on it goes. Is there a spiritual lesson in all of this?

Awhile back I wrote an article The Narrative is All They Have in which I encouraged everyone to anchor themselves in the biblical narrative so they are not swept away by every wind of new-normal doctrine.

Why is this important in the era of the pretend pandemic? This new fear based irreality aims to make God look awful, incompetent or both. A society steeped in a climate of fear gives the totalitarians the control they want. But under these cult created emergencies God does not appear to the masked, injected and isolating as the good creator who made the earth to nourish and strengthen the sons of men.

He does not appear to them as the God who made us fearfully and wonderfully with immune systems and the like, nor the one who sustains all in health, if of course we eat the food he designed us to eat and don’t abuse his gifts.

Is it any wonder that so many reject a god who constantly threatens us with extinction from invisible microbes and viruses that magically appear every news cycle?

The trouble is that isn’t the God of Scripture. That is the god of this world and his servant liars vying for profit and power.

So maybe it is time to stop playing their pretend pandemic. That way the character of our God can be clearly seen. Are you still wearing your pandemic costume? Could your Christian light be hid under a mask of fear? Still testing yourself after a night out with friends. Too afraid to go out in the first place? Then no wonder they resent your god. I do too.

“Mary (the virgin) should’ve had an abortion”, the sign read. Here is the proud moment courtesy of The Australian.1

Is the sign offensive? Absolutely! But not all that more offensive than any other sign at the protest calling for the continued slaughter of human beings with the majority of these babies killed for no other reason than their mothers simply don’t want them. Murder is now contraception and many are angry when this convenience is threatened.

Let’s be clear for a moment. The babies are not the problem. They are innocent and precious gifts from God. They are only preyed upon in the womb because that is when they are most vulnerable. Rather there is something wrong with their mothers and their fathers who fail to protect them. Lacking natural human affections they despise their own children.

But let’s return to that sign! It reveals something powerful:

People at the pro-abortion protest are angry with God. It is ultimately why they are there. These mothers despise their wombs. They despise their own femininity and the God that made them to bear children.

Christ was born of a woman no less for their salvation. It is from the womb that God’s ultimate hope and perfect glory was born. And they hate it and themselves because of it! How could you despise God and your own womanhood any more?

And in their rage against God, anger that is written all over the gleeful face of Lana Murphy as she receives a sign in rejection of the God who birthed his own Son into the world; she calls for his murder!

But look past any offense for a moment. Because there is beautiful theological irony on display for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Before the Son of Mary’s crucifixion the leaders of his nation also whipped up the crowd into a lustful killing frenzy. They too called in their anger for the death of Jesus:

But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” - Luke 23:21

When the disciple of Jesus, Peter, later spoke to those same people at the festival of Pentecost, he told them “…you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.” - Acts 2:23

Lana Murphy and everyone at the protest aren’t the first people to call for the death of Jesus. Thousands of years ago, similarly ignorant people not only called for it but were responsible for his murder.

The irony though is that the Son of Mary came into the world for precisely this reason: To abort his life!

As Christ himself testified beforehand:

“No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father” - John 10:18

And so in the murderous hatred of these people toward the Son born of a mother is to be found the most beautiful love story of all:

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. -1 John 3:16.

But there is more spiritual irony:

The Jesus who was sacrificed then came alive again! Not as he was, but in a glorious resurrected body fit for exaltation to God’s right hand. Jesus smashed through the barrier of his own death and is the only one worthy of our allegiance - because he has made it certain that we who believe will do the same.

The irony of calling for the death of Christ by way of abortion or any other means is that you cannot ultimately kill the one who has killed death itself. Jesus has already conquered abortion. Forever! Get with the program.

How does this irony speak to Lana Murphy and the pro-abortion protesters:

Repent! Stop calling for the sacrifice of children. Christ was already sacrificed on your behalf. If you keep on this murderous rampage against God you will all suffer the weight of unending pain in an eternal hell fire. There are consequences for shedding blood. “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation” before it is too late.2

For the rest of us that bear the name of this Son of a virgin woman who loved him, and the never born children still alive in Christ:

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet…..

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory?” 

-1 Corinthians 15:51-55

The election went as I expected and I can’t say I am too unhappy with the result. Yes, it would have been nice to see the United Australia Party or One Nation pickup more than what may turn out to be just a few Senate seats in a parliament overrun by woke politicians. But the reality is Australians don’t yet comprehend the nature of their enslavement under the bankers dictatorship and the two party preferred system. Until Australians suffer a bit more, a lot more, we cannot really expect anything to change no matter how much money Clive Palmer spends on advertising for freedom.

But I was encouraged by the election result for a couple of reasons.

Positive #1: The Liberal Party Was Decimated

My worst fear this election was that Scott Morrison’s Liberal Party would claw its way back into power on the back of conservative party preferences. This is what happened in 2019 when parties like UAP, Frazer Anning’s Conservative National Party, Cory Bernadi, One Nation and others, fearful of a Labor win made sure preference flows ended up in the Liberal camp. This propped up the Liberal Party for the win, a win they didn’t deserve, a win in an otherwise unwinnable election.

If that had happened again it would be have been a worst case scenario! It would have meant the freedom vote, the Put the Major’s Last campaign, the Turning Point how to vote cards and the millions spend by United Australia Party aimed at unseating the majors would have counted for absolutely nothing! We would have changed nothing!

But Australia could not afford another term under Scott Morrison and his fake conservative party. Morrison is a man utterly obnoxious to freedom in this country. He is infamous for once stating that free speech doesn’t help to create one job.1 His Liberal Party stood by and did nothing in the face of rampant human rights abuses. Morrison gave vocal support to Labor party dictators like Daniel Andrews and Mark McGowan during the COVID con.

Thankfully then we are not getting a repeat of the Morrison government and this is owed in part to the Christian and libertarian voters punishing incumbent members, especially woke Liberal party members! Even here in the electorate of Pearce, where the Liberal party ran a conservative candidate my wife and I made sure our preferences after exhausting every possible freedom party candidate went to Labor.

The message coming from Christians and libertarians in this country was clearer this time: Liberal Party, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I will Spew You Out of My Mouth!2

Australians do not want a Liberal Party traitorous to freedom. We do not want our so called “conservative” party having no regard for the bodily autonomy of its citizens and advancing global socialism under this “Net Zero” agenda all the while masquerading as a party which believes in classical liberalism.

Positive #2: Australia’s woke socialism is now plain to see.

Under the Morrison government many people, especially Christians, thought of Australia as a conservative country with a Christian Leader. In reality under Liberal, Australia was a woke chocolate coated turd. Now that Morrison’s government has gone this pretense is stripped away and the woke turd can now been seen and smelt by all in its full putrefying glory.

Better yet under a woke socialist government the stink of this neo-pagan Australia is going to be seen and felt on a whole new level! As difficult as it is to witness this downfall it is something we desperately need if we are going to push for change especially among conservatives. There is nothing beneficial about us masquerading as something we are not and thereby prolonging the suffering.

Now hopefully for the first time in decades there will be less pretending about the awful direction of this country. Especially the pretense offered by Christians and Liberal party supporters who were pacified by their fake conservative government. Hopefully now these types can wake up and get off the couch, since it is obvious Scomo no longer has things in hand, and in fact he never did, but was part of the problem.

Positive #3: The Primary Vote for the Major Parties is Way down.

Labor has formed government with 32.9% of the primary vote. The Liberal party vote came in at 35.3% down 6.2% from last election. Over the last few elections there has been a significant shift away from major parties and this signals that change may be afoot for Australia politics. This lower primary vote means less public funding for the major political parties making them more vulnerable to competitors.

Such a large swing away from the major parties was helped along by people switching to substitute parties who still believe in libertarian values and to other independents. Now at this point the winds of change may take us in the wrong direction but at least while things are in flux we are in the hopeful position of influencing the culture of Australian politics for the better as people may be listening in a way they haven’t been for years especially as economic hardship becomes a reality.

So Where Do We Go From Here?

There is no shortage of election analysis this week but most of it is coming from the mainstream media. I am looking forward to a panel discussion on Friday 27th May 2022 with popular freedom party candidates and commentators including Joel Jammal, Senator Malcolm Roberts, Craig Kelly, Paul Filing, Dr. Yunous Vagh and Cam Tinley. Tune in to Freedom Media WA Facebook this Friday 2:30PM WA time.

In the meantime here are my broad suggestions for the future of Christian political activism in Australia over the next few years.

Action Point #1: Continue to Destroy the Liberal Party

Based on the commentary I have watched on the election it is my opinion that it would be almost impossible for the Liberal Party to form government ever again without the full support of conservatives, nationalists and Christians. But this would require significant ideological reform, reform that I don’t believe is possible for the Liberal party. Even so we must never give the Liberal Party this support again. The Liberal Party is a captured organization that is beholden to the globalist institutions and socialist agendas that are trying to install the technocracy.

Henceforth there is no way forward under modern Liberal Party ideology. The Liberal Parties are expelling more and more conservatives by the day,3 and I say let them do it. The only way to gain any significant traction for classical liberal values is to replace the Liberal Party with a new conservative coalition. This means Christians and conservatives must now withdrawal all support from the Liberal party and let it die. The Liberal Party has and must continue to “go woke and go broke”.

Action Point #2: Consolidate the Freedom Parties into a Conservative Libertarian Coalition

I believe there is room for only two or three conservative, Christian, libertarian, nationalistic parties which could form government as a coalition. Any more than this and it is impossible to organise optimal flow of preferences under the current system of preferential and partial preferential voting to get sufficient libertarian politicians elected.

At present there is a large number of micro parties which receive an extreme minority of the vote. This has created a fractured movement that results in unnecessary division and the promotion of individual egos. As a result the freedom party messaging to the Australian public is weak. There is no way to sufficiently organize consistent voter influence under this scenario to make a difference at election time.

Therefore lovers of freedom must let go of their favorite political party influencers and get behind a couple of bigger libertarian and nationalistic parties that are better resourced, already have members in parliament and are generally headed in the right ideological direction in terms of a Christianized society that honours rule of law.

A consolidation is necessary because freedom party members need to start thinking in terms of becoming a replacement major party that represents a decisive force against global socialism and the new woke religion. This means we must endure some differences for the sake of large scale strategic cooperation.

Therefore the litany of micro parties have to go. These niche parties could instead form organisations for education of the Australian public on critical issues necessary to shape culture around freedom. Teaching on issues like constitutional awareness, informed consent and our Christian history will go a long way to undermining the entrenched cultural Marxism and Scientism now infecting the Australian consciousness.

The Christian party should incorporate their candidates into One Nation and the United Australia party. We should not run political parties that only a small section of the population will want to vote for. Rather we communicate our support for and strengthen the conviction of major libertarian parties. We can produce the change we want by building upon the right ideological foundation rather than simply parroting Christian values to an echo chamber of Christian voters.

Action Point #3: We MUST Decisively Mock Woke Government and Religion!

If you know the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel then you will know what I am talking about. When the false prophets worshiped their false god Baal on Mount Carmel begging him to accept their sacrifice by fire they carried on like lunatics, shouting, jumping and committing insane acts like cutting themselves with swords and spears. But Baal, the fake god, couldn’t answer. Elijah the prophet of God mocked the priests in the utter stupidity of their devotion to Baal. “Maybe he is busy, or taking a trip, or sleeping”, he taunted them.4

The insanity and futility of Australia’s new woke religion is as ridiculous as cutting yourself to make Baal listen. Whether it be redefining biological gender, killing unborn children, or maiming them before they reach adolescence, saving the planet from a natural greenhouse gas, injecting toxic substances that cause heart attacks to prevent a cold, or trying to tax themselves to greater wealth. All this behavior is inherently stupid and self destructive and the right response is to mock and make fun of the adherents and leaders of this new Baal-like religion while the full extent of their stupidity is on display.

If we love Australia and its people we must not be caught like the Morrison government pandering to the godless foolishness of our era. Woke religion and woke politics can only ever go down in history as an embarrassing and shameful form of societal self-destruction. We must hasten its shame and highlight its foolishness in order to preserve common sense and attract others to fear God and the wisdom of his ways. Baal cannot bless us, not even when they mutilate themselves.

Conclusion

Don’t be too despondent about the election. The vote for freedom made a significant difference by ensuring the Liberal Party may never again form government. We can now begin to fill this vacuum. We must not prop-up the broken down Liberal political machine. Rather we consolidate the freedom movement into the creation of a Libertarian coalition.

This coalition must join forces with educational organisations that are focused on teaching the public libertarian ideology based on Christian principles of rule of law. We must infiltrate the public consciousness with new doctrine and boldly mock woke ideology to highlight the self-destruction it brings upon society.

We cannot afford to run our own little political party clubs any more. We must begin to think and act like members of a large political party that will offer decisive resistance and an alternative to the neo-pagan global-socialism of our age.

Australia is a dictatorship. Usually when I make that statement I get funny looks. That is because we are bred to think of a dictatorship only as a country with less freedoms than our own. We aren’t in the maximum-security prison yet so as long as there is another prison with greater restrictions than ours then we must be a free people. Well they are building the walls higher.

The Two Horse Race

One reason why it is hard to convince people of the reality of the Australian dictatorship is because of the two-horse race that gets run every few years. Yes I am talking about elections. Now there are lots of horses in the election race but everyone knows the red horse and the blue horse are the favourites. Most bets are placed on these popular horses. Nobody likes to lose, better a small win with bragging rights than risking a bet on a non-finisher.

Now the election horse race does have the appearance of a legitimate competition and so there is an illusion of choice created for the average Joe in his participation of betting on this sport. When Joe’s horse wins he is satiated by the idea he helped it win. After a few years when Joe is sick of that horse he gives the other favourite horse a go. And when it wins, Joe is again satisfied by his win. Joe believes he stuck it to the other popular horse, “run better next time hey”!

Joe is a moron. To see through this illusion of Australian democracy is to recognize that the two favourite horses are owned by the same racehorse owner. Go ahead, vote red horse, vote blue horse, it doesn’t really matter that much to the race horse owners. The owners are fully invested in both the major horses and so they win first place every time. And Joe helps them win. The only person he stuck it to by switching favourite horse, was himself, what a dummy!

What about the other horses in the race?

There are horses in the race specifically designed not to win. Rather these horses are trained to place second or third. The same owners of the red and blue horses are invested in the runner up horses, especially the green horse. These runner-up horses enter the race to ensure the favourites keep on winning by cutting off the other horses from entering the finishing line-up.

Few people bet on underdogs, but some bet on runner-ups in with a chance. People that bet on the runner-up horses think they are a legitimate threat to the favourite horses. But that is only the illusion of competition these horses create. In reality the runner-up horses race to ensure the winnings keep flowing to the same racehorse investors.

If you want to understand some of the logistics behind this you can read my recent article "Why Your Freedom Party Vote May Help Elect a Green to the Senate and How to Stop It!

Then there are the horses that enter the race because without enough horses the race looks rigged. The popular race horse investors will find some worthless horses and just pay the race entry fee. Whatever bets these horses attract ensure other legitimate racehorses receive less attention. And if the worthless horse snags a lucky place all the better for the popular race horse investors.

Then finally there are the horses not owned by the popular race horse investors. Some are fantastic horses, others are try-hards. But either way these horses receive A LOT less attention, because the popular race horse investors not only invest in horses. They own the racecourse, the betting centre and the publishing house that prints the race guide.

And it is hard to ignore the “race experts” advice in the race guide. The popular horses we are told are the champion horses, they have a long history of winning. Whereas the other horses receive disappointing reviews. They failed to finish the last race and are hopeful troublemakers to the sport.

Conclusion

The two horse election race reveals the not so illusive Australian dictatorship once you understand the common investment base in all the major parties. The corporatocracy backs the race, funds the major race horses1 and owns all the broadcast rights to the race. And they will continue to do so for as long as their two major horses keep on winning. It is time for change, as difficult as it may be for that change to come.

There is presently a movement afoot to “Sack the Majors” or put the Put the Majors Last. This movement is based on the recognition that it is not the competition between the major horses which matters, rather the competition between the investors in the race! It is the power brokers behind the major political parties in Australia that are running this country. If you keep betting on their horses they will keep taking you for a fool.

This election I encourage you to see through the illusion of the democratic process in Australia by treating the two major political parties on your ballot paper as though they were non-runners.

• In the 2016 federal election 7.5% of formal senate votes exhausted!

• NSW exhaustion rates went as high as 9.2%

• An exhausted vote cannot help any candidate get elected!

• Exhausted votes may still help disfavourable candidates by shrinking the quota required to win a seat.

• To help avoid this problem you must fully preference your Senate ballot paper by numbering ALL THE BOXES ABOVE THE LINE with the possible exception of leaving off the most disfavourable of the major parties.

Introduction

This election many activist gurus are handing out advice on how to “oust” the major parties. I am onboard with evicting the major parties. The majors have outstayed their lease, drastically underpaid the rent and the house is completely wrecked. Unfortunately, much of this “How to Vote” advice designed to save Australia from the political cabal is based on ignorance of the Senate voting system and if followed is likely to assist the major parties and in particular the Greens to maintain their foothold in parliament.

Understanding the Senate Electoral Reforms

In February 2016 the government introduced amendments to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. These amendments abolished group voting tickets in favour of a Partial Preferential Voting system. Whenever you see voting reforms you would be wise to assume that any changes made only further cement the major parties in power come election time.

Unsurprisingly Australians don’t like to spend too much time thinking about their votes. Since 1990 around 90-96% of all formal votes were above the line on the Senate ballot paper.1 Until the 2016 federal election you could simply place a number 1 in a single box above the line for the political party of your choice. Under this system the voter entrusted the political party of their choice to distribute voting preferences to other political parties most aligned with their interests.

This Group Voting Ticket system enabled political parties to swap preference deals with other political parties. The group voting tickets were settled prior to an election so voters knew where preferences went when they voted above the line.

This system had a number of advantages, especially for small parties:

1. It reduced the number of informal votes2 by reducing the time and complexity of voting.

2. It enabled ALL political parties control over their Upper House preferences without requiring significant money or resources to influence voters habits at the polling places.

3. By working together smaller political parties could get candidates elected to Senate to represent their interests by preferencing each other and not the major parties.

One disadvantage for some voters under the old system is that for them to exercise control over their Senate preferences they had to number every single box below the line. This was a time-consuming process.

Less well-known smaller parties being able to achieve a presence in the Senate is thought by some as unfavourable.3 By way of example, during the 2013 senate election, the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party was elected to the Senate having only received 0.51% of formal First Preference votes.

While that outcome may sound unattractive we should keep in mind that together small parties preferred this candidate in preference deals above major parties. And whilst major parties complain about this situation they help to bring it about by refusing to give preferences on the group voting tickets to more popular minor parties. In an effort to shut out smaller parties from parliament, the major parties ensure the preference deals of the minors sometimes flow to unexpected candidates.

This is where the Partial Preferential Voting system came in. By abolishing group voting tickets voters are now required to determine their own preferences above the line by voting for at least six political parties. Similarly, below the line you no longer have to fill out every single box but only choose at least twelve candidates. However, since voters are lazy and are only required to vote for six or twelve candidates in most cases their preferences are only partially expressed. This is what is meant by partial preferential voting.

Smaller Parties are Now Disadvantaged

The first problem with partial preferential voting for small party politics is that only the major parties have the resources to influence voter preferences at every single polling place in Australia. Smaller Parties do not have the finances or volunteers to adequately inform voters of their ideal preference arrangements. This means they are effectively cut out of negotiating preference arrangements with other political parties because they have limited ability to influence voter habits. It is now significantly more difficult for small parties to work together against the major parties.

But there is another not well-known problem with partial preferential voting systems and that is the issue of Exhausted Votes.

Exhausted Votes

Exhausted votes are a natural outcome of a partial preferential voting system. Under the new system of Senate voting, voters don’t have to express their preferences across the full range of candidates. Since they only have to choose a minimum of six political parties or 12 candidates what happens when all their chosen candidates on a ballot paper are out of the election race? This is what is known, by the AEC, as ballot paper or vote exhaustion:

“exhaustion occurs when a ballot paper has no valid preferences left for any of the continuing (i.e. not elected and not excluded) candidates”4

In other words, if the choices on your ballot paper have all been dismissed from the electoral race on account of preference allocation to other candidates who now have a higher count then your vote effectually “exhausts” because you have provided no further direction on how to allocate the remaining value of your vote.

Under the old system from 1984-2014 Senate elections had very low levels of exhaustion because preferences were fully expressed on the group voting tickets. However, in the the 2016 federal election 7.5% of formal senate votes exhausted.5 That is a significant number of voters whose wishes may not have been fully expressed despite Senate seats yet remaining to be filled.

Now this doesn’t mean every exhausted vote was a complete waste. It is estimated that 8 out of 10 exhausted ballots helped elect a single candidate and more than half of exhausted ballots helped elect four or more candidates.6 Nevertheless 20% of exhausted ballot papers had no impact at all and the remainder exhausted without expressing the full preferential value of their vote.

To make matters worse there is a correlation between the number of exhausted votes and number of choices on the ballot paper! The more candidates in the election the higher the rate of exhaustion. In NSW, VIC and QLD the rate of exhaustion went as high as 9.2%, 8.58% and 7.67% respectively.7 It stands to reason then that the votes most impacted by exhaustion are those who preference smaller parties whose candidates are less likely to be elected.

When a vote exhausts it is no longer used in preference allocations and cannot directly help a candidate get elected! However, an exhausted vote can still indirectly determine the outcome of the election by lowering the quota of votes required for any remaining candidate to win the election!

Who Benefits from Partial Preferential Voting?

As we have already discussed, the major parties benefit from PPV by brokering their preferences via How To Vote cards at polling places at the expense of minor parties.

However exhausted votes would seem to play a role also. In states with a larger number of candidates put forward by smaller parties there would seem to be a greater number of exhausted votes. When ballots with votes for these small party candidates are removed via exhaustion the remaining candidates who likely received large swathes of preferential votes from a major party like Labor, now find it easier to achieve the quota required to win a seat. It is probable that the PPV voting system is favouring parties like the Greens because they are closely aligned with a major political party.

Bob Day, a former politician from Family First Party who mounted a High Court challenge against the electoral reforms in 20168 tried to warn us about the outcome of changes to Senate voting:

“Nothing good will come of this. The government’s claim that these changes will benefit the voter is false. Voters will be severely disadvantaged because the government is removing from voters – approximately three million of them, their right to delegate to their minor party of choice the distribution of their preferences. These changes will result in the Greens obtaining the balance of power permanently.”

Former Prime Minister John Howard also warned the government that the Coalition’s deal with the Greens could backfire on them. “The principal beneficiary of these changes will be the Australian Greens,” Howard said.

He was right. The Greens won six senate seats at the 2019 election (one from each state) and will almost certainly repeat this result at this election giving them a total of 12 senators and the balance of power.9

Fixing the Problem

It seems to me there is no easy way to reverse the disadvantages metered out to small party politics on account of recent Senate electoral reforms.

However small parties and their advocates must band together to educate voters to go beyond choosing a mere six preferences on the ballot paper to avoid wasting our preferences to vote exhaustion.

Small party voters must produce a ballot paper that more closely resembles our old fully preferenced voting system. For small party candidates to achieve the required quota they must benefit from a longer chain of preference allocations.

It is critical therefore to number ALL THE BOXES above the line with the possible exception of leaving off the most disfavourable of the major parties. Alternatively you could choose a much more significant number of candidates below the line. Either of these options reduce or eliminate the likelihood your vote will exhaust.

Therefore alternative parties and activist gurus MUST AVOID telling citizens to vote 1-6 above the line as this system benefits the political establishment and not the smaller parties. Instead aim to number as many boxes as possible!

The fact is there are plenty of useful candidates on the Senate ballot sheet preferable to Liberal, Labor and Greens that go beyond 1-6 of which we must vote for if we are to avoid assisting a party like the Greens from gaining a Senate seat!

Summary

• In 2016 reforms to the electoral act abolished group ticket voting in the Senate and replaced it with a Partial Preferential Voting system.

• Under partial preferential voting smaller parties are cut out from brokering preference deals because they do not have the resources to influence voter habits at every polling place in Australia.

• The system is called a partial preferential system because voters are only required to choose 1-6 above the line or 1-12 candidates below the line on the Senate ballot paper. Voters are not required to fully express their preferences across the full range of candidates.

• Under the new system vote exhaustion occurs when a ballot paper has no valid preferences left for any of the continuing (i.e. not elected and not excluded) candidates.

• In states where there were a larger number of candidates on the ballot paper the greater number of votes exhausted.

• In the 2016 federal election 7.5% of formal senate votes exhausted! In NSW exhaustion rates went as as high as 9.2%.

• An exhausted vote can no longer directly help any candidate to get elected even though there are still Senate seats to win. However exhausted votes can influence the election by reducing the quota required to win a seat for any remaining candidates!

• The PPV system and vote exhaustion would appear to favour political parties like the Greens who receive a large number of preferences from the Labor party thus eliminating smaller parties from the balance of power.

• To help avoid this problem you must fully preference your ballot paper by numbering ALL THE BOXES above the line with the possible exception of leaving off the most disfavourable of the major parties. Alternatively you can choose a much more significant number of candidates below the line.

I recently wrote an article entitled Dont Vote for Christians in which I outlined the strategy I think Christians should use when voting this election. I argued that voting as a Christian does not mean simply voting for Christian representatives on the ballot paper but rather examining political party policies and their ideologies to determine which vision for Australia solves the big issues we are facing.

Martyn Iles from the Australian Christian Lobby recently released a video outlining their Federal Election Strategy in which he argues for the opposite. Martyn is distressed by the idea that people want to put the major parties last on the ballot paper and give votes to alternative parties. He says pay no attention to the political parties, rather vote for the right people:

“The parties in the present state of politics, with the wheat and the tares everywhere, the parties don’t hold the answers. The right people and the empowerment of the right people in those parties, holds the answers.”1

As a Christian shepherd and Christian activist here are several reasons why I believe the Australian Christian Lobby is holding back positive change by propping up a corrupt Liberal Party establishment.

The ACL’s strategy is a resignation to more of the same.

In his presentation Martyn has resolved himself to the inevitability and continuation of the two party duopoly. Martyn makes several predictive comments such as intimating that Labor will win the election and de-emphasizes the value of alternative parties saying their role should be to hold some form of balance of power in the senate.

It should not be lost on anyone that the political outcome Martyn describes is precisely the state of affairs that has presided over the demise of Australia for the last few decades and which has seen the complete desecration of our society by cultural Marxist forces of which Martyn to his credit spends much of his time debunking.

Now perhaps Martyn is just being realistic. Nevertheless as long as voices like his resign Christians to the continuation of the political status quo by convincing them to vote for the best people they can find amidst a sea of corruption that is the major parties, then we should expect more of the same kind of fruitlessness from Christianity in politics that we have seen these past many years. Surely it is time to imagine something better and Christians ought be visionaries in this regard.

What is actually required in Australian politics is sweeping ideological change. The kind of change that is brought about by entirely new political parties whose underlying vision contains a deep commitment to liberal democratic values and restoration of fundamental freedoms. By de-emphasizing alternative political parties Martyn is holding back the likelihood of such a shift taking place. He is disempowering the many Christians and conservatives who have left the major parties or been kicked out to join political movements seeking to restore freedoms. Many of those leaving recognize that the Liberal party is no longer an advocate for traditional democratic freedoms but are instead pushing Australia into a post-democratic, technocratic era.

The ACL is naïve in thinking Christians in major parties have any real influence to produce fundamental ideological change.

Martyn begins his strategy talk by outlining the absolute disgraces the Liberal Party have overseen this last term. It is a long list which includes killing off the almost useless religious discrimination bill, as well as pouring millions of dollars into school curriculum that teaches children more cultural Marxist perversions whilst turning a blind eye to mandatory injections for the population.

Martyn admits that good people in the major parties are disempowered to produce any real change. I couldn’t agree more. Yet his strategy seems to be for us to continue to re-elect these few good people to their seat in a major party. It should be obvious how ridiculous a strategy this is. If voting for the few good people in the major parties whose voices fell on deaf ears the first, second, third, fourth and tenth time around, it is not going to work this time either.

The reason why good voices in the Liberal party are disempowered has nothing to do with our not voting for them. Rather it is because the two major parties are run much like dictatorships where the dominant influence doesn’t always come from the members themselves. The recent controversy surrounding Scott Morrison’s overturning of the member’s candidate pre-selections in NSW is a perfect example of the top-down authoritarianism at work in the Liberal party.2

The Liberal party is no longer faithful to its core values. If the major parties are run internally like dictatorships then their party politics cannot produce a healthy liberal democracy. No amount of voting for a few disempowered members is going to change this reality. Indeed with this kind of leadership at work no more than a few token Christians to appease conservatives and lobbyist organizations like the ACL are ever going to be allowed to gain a foothold in the party. Thus short of foundational ideological change these voices will remain disempowered.

Instead of Christians being taken for fools again this election I believe we should instead contribute to a strategy that will cut the head off the snake. There is no better way to do this than for all Christians to remove their support from parties who are no longer ideologically committed to a worldview that encourages a free and Christianized society.

It isn’t entirely clear why the ACL insists on supporting Liberal party candidates to help the majors form government thereby ensuring more of the same kind of punishments be metered out upon Australian citizens that we have endured these past several years. Perhaps they have incumbent Liberal party members in their ear asking for help to get re-elected. Perhaps these members are the politicians that are willing to lend an ear to ACL’s Christian values and they rely on them to bring them before parliament.

In any case, this clutching at straws via a few good members of parliament to represent our values isn’t working. If this tactic were working at all Martyn wouldn’t be travelling the country teaching Christians themselves how to use plain reason and Scripture to navigate the neo-Marxist ethics that have taken over their workplaces, schools and churches. Instead we would have policy change coming down from above protecting our public institutions, our families and our children. But that is not happening because almost nobody in parliament cares about “Christian values”.

Begging a fundamentally corrupt political establishment, hostile to a Christian worldview for the time of day to consider the values of Christians appears to me a frustrating and futile strategy.

Christian values are no substitute for a genuine political strategy.

Trying to speak “Christian values” into parliament via a few good men is like expecting Lot and his family to affect positive change by continuing to reside in Sodom and Gomorrah. Why not an alternative approach? The approach God employed when things were so obviously bad that there was no way back. You take whoever is left that is devoted to what is good and you bug out, consigning what is behind you to the complete destruction it deserves as a witness to what happens when people wholesale depart from God instituted realities.

You then create or get behind something new! Something that is ideological sound and designed at the core to deliver the kind of change required. But this would require a new strategy to Christian politics. Not one wedded to voting for a few disempowered Christian members inside the political establishment so they can beg their counterparts dedicated to a neo-pagan society for the right to be Christian inside it. If it is true, as Martyn rightly points out, that we Christians must live Christian lives regardless of whether the government is on our side why then are we resigned to this demeaning and defeatist political strategy?

Instead, I contend we Christians should love our non-Christian neighbors by developing a comprehensive political strategy for the running of Australia as though our worldview is the only one with any common sense. After all if Christian politicians cannot convince non-Christians to vote for them based on policies that benefit every Australian then then we really have no business being in politics at all.

The fact is that there is not enough committed Christians in Australia to produce any meaningful change via a strategy of presenting our values to parliament as though they and we ourselves were an endangered species for them to look after. Rather we need to be a part of new political movements that have the restoration of fundamental liberties, human rights and true justice at their core.

The reality is you don’t have to be Christian to want to live in a society that is no longer based on the theft of Australian wealth by international institutions. Or a society where our children are abused by neo-Marxist globalist forces and its woke pagan religion. Plenty of Australians do not want that society! I speak to them all the time. Yet instead of lighting the way forward with a comprehensive political agenda that could make sense to anybody Christians are stuck fiddling around the edges of politics3 rather than drivers of real ideological change.

The idea that there is the same amount of bad eggs in alternative parties as the major parties is false.

Martyn Iles uses the biblical metaphor of the wheat and tares suggesting that no matter what political party you choose there are good people and bad inside them. This may be true to some extent, but it ignores the fact that over time institutions change and veer from their foundational principles.

It is often the case that when institutions become corrupted those still committed to the values which made that institution worthwhile need to branch out and start something else whereby those principles will continue to be taught and preserved. Otherwise fundamental precepts may be altogether lost to the inevitable demise of the corrupted institution.

These kinds of healthy splits happen throughout history with Christian denominations. When new institutions are started to preserve Christian truth the corrupted organization begins to die off. Often it is those last few good people propping up the institution who are responsible for prolonging the damage and confusion caused by the corrupted institution.

Christians should be sensitive of God’s pattern of judgement on religious and political institutions alike. And we should not be involved in propping up corrupted institutions beyond their time. When the train is headed the opposite direction it is time to get off and back on the right train. The more people that do that and the sooner it is done, the more momentum in the right direction and the more work that can be preserved. Christians should not be the last ones off the train. It is a terrible testimony to be found clinging to corrupt traditions as though they were still serving us.

I have been involved with alternative party politics for several years. Whilst not all candidates I worked with were Christian, a good percentage of them were. Nevertheless all our candidates were regular Australians wanting a better Australia and not career politicians. They were all deeply invested in fundamental freedoms and a liberal democratic society. All were against woke ideology.

In other words there were lots of wheat and very few tares. Now political parties will change over time but new movements with a solid foundation can preserve liberty and peace for generations.

Conclusion.

New political parties are an important way to preserve core values that are no longer functioning at the heart of the coalition government. We ought not prop up the corrupted Liberal party establishment by continuing to sponsor the last few people within the establishment whose voices are trampled.

Christians should instead be invested in political change at an ideological level, not driven only by causes or Christian values but instead working with others devoted to fundamental freedoms from which we can develop comprehensive political strategies for the proper governance of Australia in a way that honors God and preserves freedom for all.

Therefore at this time in history alternative political parties devoted to this ideological change are the best answer for the future of Australia.

The federal election is coming up in Australia on 21st May 2022. Now is the time when Christians can give expression to their beliefs by choosing one or more political parties to support. I do not invest much hope in the political system at this time in history but that is an article for another time. Nevertheless it is important to cast your vote in a worthy manner and so Christians should not be among those who are ignorant of politics and the electoral system.

For much of my life I was fairly ignorant of the political system and the ideology driving each political party. I thought, wrongly, that others had things in hand and would know better than me. So I chose to remain ignorant and hand my vote to them to decide. When I became a Christian I simply continued to give my vote to the Christian Party I found on the ballot paper. I figured they were best suited to represent my beliefs and the future of my family. The purpose of this article is to save you from that wrong headed approach to politics!

Don’t Vote for Christians!

Now what do I mean by not voting for Christians? I don’t mean you can’t ever vote for a Christian person. Rather I mean NEVER EVER vote for a candidate or a political party primarily because they are Christian. Please I beg you!

If you vote for a Christian because you are Christian and you think they are a Christian then you are making a huge number of unsubstantiated assumptions about their political qualifications.

I have been more involved with political campaigning these last several years and had a brief opportunity to study constitutional law. I have since learned why this way of voting as a Christian is a huge mistake. Here are four reasons why you should NEVER simply vote for Christians!

#1. If you will vote for a Christian. The establishment will give you a “Christian” to vote for.

Enter Scott Morrison. After the postal vote and installation of the gay mirage in Australia most conservatives were disillusioned with the Liberal party especially the leadership of Malcolm Turnbull, or Malcolm Turncoat as he became known. The Liberal Party, the so called “right-wing” party in Australia had become functionally no different from the left. They helped push the ideology of the neo-marxist state and have done nothing to wind it back despite holding government for a number of terms.

So how do they recover a Christian voter’s faith at election time in the two-party illusion whilst simultaneously continuing to undermine a liberal democracy? Simple. You install somebody in charge who on the surface seems like them. Prime Minister Scott Morrison is a church-going man, he claims to be a Christian, he raises his hands in Church and invites the cameras in to watch.

But that appears to be about the depth of his Christianity. What exactly are his Christian ideological beliefs? Do they really impact liberal party policies or is he just a front man for a political system that has no relationship to or concern for anything Christians believe anymore. The latter is most definitely the case. Morrison’s hypocritical comments during the COVID campaign show his contempt for the freedom of Australians.1 His involvement in a range of “dirty politics” reveals he primarily represents the interests of the pharmaceutical and banking cartels.2

However if you stop voting for Christians simply because they claim to be Christian then the establishment parties cannot jerk your chain by simply putting a new cover on their book.

#2. Christians can be ignorant about politics and ideology.

Even genuine Christians though well-meaning are often ignorant about the Australian political situation. Christians want to make a difference and though driven by worthy causes such as putting an end to abortion they do not always understand how Australia got to be in a situation of murdering our own children. How then can they chart a way back?

During a recent election campaign I noticed a Christian party candidate ran a campaign video about a visit to the local Christian radio station. The campaign was clearly designed to obtain votes from Christians who want to vote for other Christians. Here is a perfect example of a campaign designed to get you to do what I am telling you never to do!

During the conversation with radio station personnel comments were made about how the governments were now caring for their citizens during a pandemic with it’s lock-downs and restrictions rather than their usual self-interested focus.

I was gob-smacked by the ignorance of these comments. COVID19 restrictions represent some of the most egregious human rights violations and the greatest assault on fundamental rights ever witnessed in our lifetimes! The agenda behind COVID lockdowns was thievery and an erosion of liberties at the heart of a Christianized society. Yet these Christians couldn’t see it!

Being a Christian might make you a well-meaning person, but honesty and sincerity can never make up for ignorance in politics.

#3. Christians in major parties have little influence and usually vote for the status quo or get kicked out.

The reality is that voting for a Christian inside a major party is usually a vote for major party policies. There is a reason why so many Christians have been kicked out of the Liberal Party recently.3 As the major parties push forward the neo-Marxist agenda there is little room for Christian ideology.

It is no wonder why many Christians and conservatives have left the Liberal Party and formed new parties or become independents. Politicians who leave the major parties do so because they understand that a political and ideological approach besides what is now on offer in the major parties is required to reverse the political degradation in Australia.

Christians that remain in the major parties are usually powerless to influence party policies at a level that will produce real ideological change. Whilst these members may have moral integrity and serve their communities well they usually remain ignorant of or are un-influential in big party politics. They are just along for the ride.

So don’t waste your vote on Christians that can’t help because they are entrapped by the system. By not voting for these people you strengthen better parties and expose the majors for what they really represent. It is better to take an open stand for truth than be forced into a situation of compromise and capitulation.

#4. Christians in Australia have lost their salt.

What are you getting when you vote for the label “Christian”? These days, not a whole lot.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.” -Matthew 5:13

And trampled under people’s feet we are. An era of cultural Marxism has not been kind to the Church in Australia. There is not a lot left we are still standing for. And many of those that are standing aren’t brave enough to do so in public.

Secularism has encouraged Christians to do their religion in private. The greatest offense we were told is to offend others and we believed them. Taking a public stand for truth is now considered unloving or insensitive within the Church. Not wanting to hurt any feelings we comforted ourselves with the fact that we can still worship Jesus in private. They won’t ever take that away from us, maybe.

Since the great commission is now another victim of cancel culture one has to question if the label Christian really qualifies anyone for a career in politics. The fact is that politics require courage, courage the Church in Australia has demonstrated it no longer has. If the salt is no longer salty, then the label “Christian” is vacuous of meaning in secular Australia. Stop voting for it when you don’t know what you are getting!

How should Christians Vote?

I dedicate the rest of this article to correct this mishap of voting “Christian”. How should a Christian approach politics and decide who to vote for? This is not a definitive guide but below are several lessons I have learned which may help to provoke good Christian behavior at election time.

#1. Educate yourself in political ideology.

Educate yourself so you can vote wisely according to your beliefs. Before you head off to vote understand something about the available political ideologies on offer and how they square with a Biblical worldview.

Ideology is a set of beliefs about the world and the way people in Australia should live and operate. What are our ethics and values? What kind of society do we want? What is our economic framework? What is the function and role of government? You should decide on a biblical perspective for these broad issues.

Here is an example of what happens when you vote with a poor understanding of political ideology. Let’s say you want lower taxes because you see Australian families suffering. So you vote for Labor because they promised lower income taxes in exchange for taxing wealthy companies instead. But Labor’s ideology of socialism is all about expanding the welfare state and therefore the size of government. Big government and more welfare recipients means more taxation.

Moreover taxing companies really means taxing business owners, or passing on costs to consumers or laying off workers. But because you went to the polls not understanding Labor’s ideological system you ended up voting for political promises and empowered a political ideology that will only ever result in Australian families doing it tougher long term.

Instead work out a biblical framework for your economic vision. Although this is an overly simplistic example, 2 Thessalonians 3:10 states “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” Using this principle you could vote for political parties with an ideological system based on limiting the size, scope and responsibilities of government which encourages people to take up responsibility for their lives and provide for themselves and their communities. According to the bible, it isn’t the governments job to look after every aspect of our lives. With smaller government less taxation is required and more wealth is shared by Australian families. This is an ideologically consistent approach.

In summary, do not focus on election promises rather correctly align your political ideology with your Christian worldview.

#2. Clearly determine a political party’s plan and policies.

Do not vote simply because you like the local politician. Their party affiliations usually matter far more than their character or qualifications. Unfortunately politics in Australia is entirely trapped inside a political system where corporate interests are served by propping up the two major parties.

In an idealistic system parliament would be made up of more independent members who represent the interests of their local constituents. However in practice that is not at all how the current political system works! Usually when it comes time to vote on important issues party policies are what really count and members of the party usually vote the way of the party. There are exceptions of course, but in the current political climate the freedom for members to vote according to their conscience and still retain their party endorsement has become less likely.

Therefore you should be able to clearly discern what a political party’s policies are before you vote for them. Do their policies correctly align with the ideology of the party? Are they mostly compatible with your Christian worldview? If you cannot answer these questions then the policies are too generalized. Such parties don’t have a plan or don’t want you to know what it is. You should not vote for a political party with an obfuscated ideology or one that has no tangible direction to solve the biggest issues.

As an example of policy analysis, the Liberal Democrats (Not the Liberal Party) have released a detailed outline of their policies called the Freedom Manifesto4 all of which involve specific changes they want to introduce. This freedom ethos is consistent so that even economic policies in relation to superannuation give back to Australians control over their own money rather than forcing them to pay it into the banking sector.

Likewise the United Australia Party has specific policies to tackle Australia’s onerous debt situation that has come about through decades of printing money to fund the neo-Marxist agenda. Because the UAP is worried about Australians losing their homes to the banking cartel who have driven up property prices they want to introduce a cap on interest rates at 3%. Likewise they have a corresponding policy around paying back national debt with a specific license on iron ore exports.

Additionally you could look at the Citizens Party’s policies. They have a clear set of objectives that look to recovering Australia’s economy and the peoples finances from the foreign owned banking oligarchy. They believe that almost all problems facing Australia today relate to the greed and theft caused by a fraudulent monetary policy. Their policies reveal concrete solutions to get Australian’s back working for themselves again. Their policies include a postal bank owned by the people.

When it comes to these parties you know specifically what bills they are likely to introduce should they gain a foothold in parliament. You may not agree with these policies but by way of an example the way forward they offer is clear enough to vote on.

Now if you examine the two major major political party websites, you will find their policies are more general. Promise of more jobs, tax relief, extra handouts and funding, etc. Can you identify a consistent political ideology and direction for Australia from these policies? Or are these policies simply designed to obscure the vision and attract people who vote on impulse? You can decide.

Now if you examine the Australian Christians you will find their policies are also vague. They are a loose description of some Christian values. None of them are linked to any specific policy or practical vision for Australia. Without specific information to the contrary you ought conclude they have no depth of understanding about the big problems facing Australia and no plan to offer in remedying them. Christian values are no substitute for having a genuine political strategy.

Do not vote for parties that haven’t communicated a clear and specific set of policies. This also applies to Christian parties.

#3. Know how the preferential voting system works.

Here in Australia we have a preferential voting system. This means you have to vote for more than one candidate on the ballot sheet in order of preference. The candidate you vote number #1 is unlikely to get the job based on primary votes. So unless you have a clear plan for your second, third, fourth choices and so on then you may be unwittingly giving your vote to a political party that is not inline with your preferred ideology.

Political parties hand out “How to Vote” cards at the polling booths. These however are a mere suggestion of how you should vote if you trust your number #1 political party to determine all your alternate choices. Since you don’t know what back room deals have been done with other parties to produce these “How to Vote” cards you should entirely ignore them and not pass the buck on doing the research yourself.

Always attend the polling booth with a list of political parties you support in order of preference. The ones with the worst political ideology or those whose ideology and plan you could not identify should go at the bottom of your list.

Reignite Democracy Australia has a webpage with videos explaining how the preferential system works. This video is also worth watching to understand why at election time you mostly hear from the two major parties.

#4. Vote for real solutions by identifying root causes.

Christians often vote for good causes like stopping abortion and maintaining traditional family values. However if you vote for causes without comprehending the root cause of these issues then you are not really empowering those with actual solutions.

There is little use complaining about abortion or transgenderism to a socialist government. This type of establishment want less people roaming about on earth. They deliberately undermine families so that they can reshape society around secular government that takes the place of both God and the family. They want government to determine the values of society and who will have a useful place within it. Therefore abortion and policies that attack the family by redefining normality form the basis of their political strategy! Therefore funding abortion clinics makes sense to their way of thinking. Supporting mere “causes” achieves nothing in the face of this kind of ideology.

However if you recognize that the abortion industry is not profitable without government sponsorship and ongoing subsidies then voting for a return to sound monetary and fiscal policy means cutting of the supply of dollars that make many of these evils possible. If the government can’t print money out of thin air (i.e. borrow incessantly) then it can’t spend money on unprofitable ventures that the citizens wouldn’t ordinarily pay for themselves. Do your research and vote for real solutions. Most causes you want to vote for are usually symptoms of much bigger problems.

#5. Don’t vote out of fear of a fake crisis!

There are a litany of fake crises and causes driven by the influence of the global corporate establishment. Their sole purpose is to consolidate their power, control and influence over society at large. Those with power want you committed to their causes not defining your own.

If you will live in fear, if you will vote for a cause, then the establishment is guaranteed to manufacture a crisis for you to get behind. The Labor dictatorship took hold here in Western Australia after the 2021 election obliterating any kind of opposition in government solely because people voted out of fear of a trumped up viral pandemic that had no basis in reality!

The biggest fake crisis in politics today is the idea that too many humans are causing climate change and the world is going to be uninhabitable unless we create a whole new kind of society based on global governance. Don’t buy into this garbage!

When I think that 50% of Green’s Party volunteers are likely decent people with a concern for real environmental issues that have been sucked into a fake crisis it is distressing to think that so much political effort is going towards the creation of a slave society rather than fixing genuine issues.

As a rule of thumb, if the mainstream news is telling you to be afraid of X, or to support Y, don’t vote for it! Not without first doing your research. Dive deep into alternative sources of information, read the unofficial science and political opinions. Come to your own conclusions.

#6. Vote for courage and conviction.

Politics is not for the faint of heart, nor the softly spoken, nor those that hold back on what needs to be said. Real change comes when brave men and women speak the truth in the public arena. Nothing breeds corruption more than a political environment where everybody involved is either too polite to bring to light the reality of a situation or scared of speaking for fear of their job.

Two individuals come to my mind in recent times who demonstrated this type of courage. Liberal Senator Gerard Rennick captured a Sky News interview to bring national attention to people who were suffering with COVID injection injuries without recognition or compensation. This was a politically inconvenient topic for the Liberal Party yet the Senator put the interests of the people and his convictions ahead of the Party.

Similarly former Liberal MP George Christensen a Christian man has been outspoken in Parliament on a wide range of critical issues. You can listen to his honest assessment of the dire state of Australian politics in his recent resignation speech.5

The reality is that many elected politicians are puppets. They tow the line on party policies and seek only to do the bidding of their corporate sponsors. Instead vote for courage and conviction. No change will come without it.

#7. Don’t vote for tradition. Things change!

When I’ve been involved in politics I met many people who always vote a certain way. They say, “I come from a Labor family,” or “I’ve always voted Liberal.” Many people view political tradition like a mindless religion as if it were something passed down from their parents and so it would be disloyal for them to reassess.

But this approach to politics is extremely lazy and displays complete ignorance for the changing face of society and politics. The Liberal Party of today is nothing at all like the political party that Robert Menzies helped to create. Likewise the left once protested against war and supported workers but now calls for nuclear war against Russia all the while putting people out of work unless they take an injection enriching the largest corporations in the world.

Tradition is worthless if those representing it have since deviated from their foundational principles. Christians should not be entrenched in political traditions disconnected from the truth.

#8. Don’t Expect Perfection

You will never find a political party that exactly represents your view on every single topic. The fact is, you don’t have to. I have joined campaigns and worked with people who had different outlooks on life but at the time we shared a common and important political goal.

Choose political parties and alliances whose ideological vision most closely represents your understanding of the big problems and the most likely way to tackle these pressing issues.

The movement for liberty in Australia is greatly hampered by an ever growing number of judgmental hypocrites who bounce from supporting one political party to another solely because a leader suddenly said something they don’t like. This political fragmentation impedes positive change. We can’t win by magnifying our disagreements with otherwise agreeable allies. Christian humility means working with, investing in and voting for people who aren’t always exactly like us.

Conclusion

Christians should vote according to their beliefs. But this does not mean giving votes to people or parties who simply go by the label Christian. Rather it means researching the available political parties to understand their ideology and assessing their policies to discern a specific plan forward to solve real issues facing Australians whilst also staying faithful to a biblical worldview.

Many people are having Red Pill moments in 2022. I recently watched a remarkable video clip from the footy show where the panel discuss the fact that there are more than a few AFL players right now experiencing “heart problems” within the league and in fact all areas of sport around the world at the moment.1

The presenters then agree among themselves that the injuries all appear to be related to the recent COVID booster injections. Then one of the footy experts turns to the next presenter and says:

“It's not just the heart issues, without delving into your private affairs, you’ve got Bell’s palsy at the moment, which hopefully you are on the back end of that, but there is a bit of that going around at the moment.”

The injured man with Bell’s palsy responds:

“Exactly, heart issues and Bell’s palsy has gone through the roof since the boosters and COVID issues no doubt… so there has to be something more to it."

It was a raw moment of television. With a face depicting neurological damage he confesses the undeniable reality of the past two years of propaganda that manipulated everyone into getting injected.

Yes. They Poisoned You!

And the celebrities and sports stars can’t even hide it anymore. It is written on their sagging faces. The people paid to distract you with bread and circuses, football and entertainment so you never bother to care about what the world is really like much less who runs it and why, even these co-opted media professionals can’t hold back the reality banging down our door!

Though evidence of wide spread poisoning of the population is now mainstream many still object on an ideological basis to living in the real world. A world where the corporate state runs global media con-jobs designed to control the peoples minds and bodies and bend them to their will. This reality is rejected because it is inconceivably wicked! Australians have lost their skepticism of the world. They are no longer wary of a sinful humanity.

In its place neo-Marxist culture has arisen in Australia over the past few decades and cultivated a “progressive” view of humanity. With this new worldview has come an undeserved positivism toward the secular state whilst at the same time breeding significant apathy for any kind of political or religious activism. Rather “progression” of human political affairs is assumed and we take for granted that the paternal state has things under control and our best interests at heart.

A Biblical Red Pill

The bible does not share this progressive view of human affairs, especially when left to themselves! Jesus Christ is least of all surprised by acts of genocide committed by the rich and powerful. History is replete with examples and the scriptures warn us in no uncertain terms about the corrupting nature of love for money and power:

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. - 1Timothy 6:10

But do you believe it? I contend many Christians in Australia do not. If they had they would have been skeptical these past two years. They would have asked many questions about the injection. They would of been concerned about the benefactors behind those pushing a needle that would transfer hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth from every country in the world into the coffers of a few.

Moreover they would have been concerned about the ideology of those benefactors. What if it were that those who pushed injections for every man woman and child were fond of counter-Christian concepts like trans-humanism, eugenics and talked frequently in whitepapers and ted-talks about the need for human depopulation?

Surely Christians would also have noticed the cues from the political establishment that it be an unreliable caretaker when it legalized the murder of unborn children and sanctioned early death for the unwanted, sick and elderly. Why would we entrust our health to an establishment who outright denies right-to life?

Instead of advising biblical skepticism Pastors here in Australia told us it was our Christian duty to be injected with only God knows what.

The conclusion I arrive at is that many within the Australian churches have bought into the “progressive” ideology of the cultural Marxist era and thereby unwittingly pledged allegiance to the new form of totalitarianism it has birthed.

In the process of cultivating this new allegiance the churches have depreciated the biblical doctrine of sin. The old worldview of a sinful humanity has given over to an age of insipid optimism of the world around us.

Sure, we still talk about sin as a concept but all we seem to mean by it is admitting our individual imperfections and confessing our personal need of forgiveness. But most have little sense of their participation within the wholesale and widespread corporate corruption that befell Adam’s race in the garden.

We no longer pay attention when the bible depicts the entire world at this very moment operating under the power Satan. He commands its worldly direction by controlling every person outside of Christ through their lust and evil cravings. (Ephesians 2:1-3). Just imagine what would happen if you gave some such people wealth and power. Now you don’t have to imagine anymore.

The New Testament Scriptures define for us a world that is in desperate need of rescue from the domination of evil. In Christianity this is being achieved via the manifestation of God’s Kingdom. This kingdom concept is at the heart of the Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. The earth requires a visitation from the heavenly King to set matters aright and as Christians we long and pray for it. In the meantime, we pray for constant protection from the evil, lest we be suckered by the godlessness of the age.

The reductionist view of sin and manifest evil in the world has led to churches in Australia taking offense at the Jesus of the bible who frequently warned of fiery judgements for the unbelieving and the wicked (eg. Luke 16:19-31). The impacts of sin just don’t seem that bad. Therefore the positivism of this age has bred churches with an “evangelical” style that has all but abandoned any practical use for God’s wrath upon sinful humanity. It feels out of place because these biblical warning tones are not in step with the “progressive” attitudes of our culture.

So swallow this biblical Red Pill. Learn from times of abundant evil! When the full depth and depravity of human oppression comes to bear upon an entire generation, let it restore your biblical sensibilities. Long again for God’s justice and notice how patient is His mercy.

“The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” - Genesis 6:5.

You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off! Honestly, it’s not doing anything and we gotta stop with this COVID theatre! So, if you want to wear it, fine, but this is, this is ridiculous.1

DeSantis knows how politics work. He saw the masks and realized the boys were acting out a cruel political theatre. He was noticeably disgusted. Why? Because he wants the show to end! He wants the minds of people in Florida to be freed from the ridiculous deception that is COVID with all its cultic political symbols.

Unlike the governor in Florida our cruel Premier Mark McGowan in Western Australia continues the show. He wants our minds ensnared by the political narrative. And so the people continue to live in fear. Therefore masks are everywhere! Now children as young as eight years old have to participate in the show and wear the mask!

Why? “Because of cases”. What are cases?2 Nothing more than meaningless numbers on the daily news. They too are part of the theatre. The tests driving the numbers are also part of the theatre.3 It would not matter if there were 2000 cases or 2,000,000 cases here in our state. Life here in Perth would be the same, except only for more rules & restrictions. The higher the cases, the more masks, the more actors in the play, the more the narrative can be shaped for greater levels of control.

The narrative is the how the heads of the global statist religion maintain control. They defend it at all costs. That is why the story will shift suddenly if there are indicators that people will stop participating. Indeed, that is why it can shift suddenly: Because narrative is all there is! But if enough people exit the theatre, step off the stage then the curtains must close and the playwrights are no longer in control.

How do you exit the theatre? Better yet, how do you prevent yourself from stepping on the stage to begin with? Simple. Ground yourself in another narrative, a real and truthful one, especially the story shaped by the one who created you and cares for you.

As I think about governor DeSantis concern for the people in Florida, I am reminded of the compassion Jesus showed when he saw the condition of the people under the leadership of the cruel and selfish:

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:35)

The people that Jesus looked upon did have leaders. The Pharisees, the Sadducees, the “teachers of the law”. But they were useless, merciless, hypocrites who loved the adoration and obedience of the people but had no love for them. They saddled the people with worthless religion and made them follow ridiculous rules while they themselves skirted around God’s law for their own gratification.

We live in similar times, desperate for leaders that care, that won’t play political games, abuse and humiliate us for power and control. We may not have a governor like DeSantis in Western Australia, but we can have Jesus Christ as our spiritual lead. Under Jesus, the narrative set forth in Scripture provides us with an anchor in a real story so that we are not readily swept up into the stories of merciless tyrants who mock us while we dance along to their silly tunes.

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” -John 8:12

Unlike the hypocritical tyrants who make up the rules and yet never follow them, Jesus followed and taught the law of God. Because Jesus is God in human flesh he is the embodiment of the standard to which we are all held accountable. But rather than let us stumble around in darkness, humiliated by cruel masters who play on our weaknesses and fear of death, Jesus leads the way… so perfectly in fact that those who invest in his story are credited with a perfect righteousness: “they will have the light of life”. A life that lasts forever. When you have that promise from a leader like Jesus you aren’t easily seduced by the narrative of fear.

Likewise Jesus said:

“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’  For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matthew 9:12-13)

The tyrants desire your sacrifice for their benefit. Jesus however came to show mercy, and so died for sinners. He makes our sins his own. When you know yourself before God to be an unworthy sinner, then you also know those in power, the tyrants, to be even more wicked! Trusting them, investing in their stories, hoping in their promise of safety, much less dressing up in one of their costumes to perform at your expense is an unwanted and contradictory experience to a disciple of the Christian faith.

So anchor yourself and be on guard for the next narrative - It is all they have!
