FREEDOM, DEMOKRASI AND CIVILISED HUMANITY
In defense of freedom, democracy and civilised humanity is an increasingly intolerant Western world.
It beggars belief that someone, who tweeted something as stupid as Alan Tudge’s tweet 5 months ago today on October 22nd last year, ever served as Australia’s Education Minister.
But Alan Tudge did tweet it when he was Australia’s federal Minister for Education and Youth.
This sort of stupidity is what comes when government is too big, too corrupt and out of touch with the people.

Juanita Paterson had lost her new job as a primary school teacher because she was unvaccinated then attended the protests of the freedom movement in Melbourne and made a new friend whose example lead her into the Christian faith.
Life is beautiful.
Juanita is now a libertarian party candidate for a seat in Federal Parliament.

True democracies can self correct their problems.
This happens when new politicians with new ideas cut through old crap and replace it with truth and integrity and concern for people, culture and society.

On March 10th, 109 years ago, Harriet Tubman died.
She was famous for freeing herself and other slaves.
Perhaps young freedom fighter Becky Spelman will develop into a modern day equivalent.
I hope so.
Modern slavery is not the same as the dangers and persecution Harriet faced and overcame. A new type of psychological management is needed not to get dragged down by inhuman conformist tyranny. Now we have to make freedom fun to defeat the enemy of mass fear.
But Harriet’s advice still applies: “If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there’s shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”
Go, Becky, go!
(I am proud of the way I have made teammates of the Labrador-Collie, Drifter, and Becky in this little film.)

In World War Two the allied nations defeated totalitarian tyranny and then made a solemn declaration to protect human rights.
That legacy of freedom is currently under assault.
People like Adam La Rosa, in this little film, are doing everything they can to keep us free.

My father, pictured above in his ADF uniform, believed in freedom and human rights.
Anthony Bellve cares deeply about all of Australia.

Henry James died on this date, the 28th of February, 106 years ago, in 1916, in the middle of the Great War.
He wrote: “Life is, in fact, a battle. Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting, but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places, people of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy. But the world as it stands is no narrow illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of the night; we wake up to it, forever and ever; and we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it.”
People like Beck Spelman confront the world as it is and by doing so they make it better. They name problems which others deny and that naming is the first step to solving any problem.
