“The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them again in our lifetime.” Sir Edward Grey, 1914
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” C.S. Lewis

My rescue dog came to me in a moment of intense loneliness and I had been wondering what the hell I was doing with my life.
It was suggested, here on this blog, that I get a dog. I had a few beers that particular night and had decided to go to the local animal shelter and find myself a little bloke to provide a distraction.
Bruce Ruxton is one of my heroes. I never met the man and these notes are drawn from personal recollection of some of his better known controversial escapades with a bit of research added in.
He was born too late to be able to become a hero in the traditional sense.

Last weekend, tens of thousands of Melburnians took to the streets to protest new laws that will create a divided and fractured Australia. They took to the streets to protest laws that will see dictatorship descend on Victoria. They protested against creating social credit scores that will see some Australians rewarded and some punished, depending upon how well said Melburnian behaves.
We are seeing this all around Australia, the world and it is celebrated by the smirking sheep who think that by conforming, they are going to be the teacher's pets and the rest of us? Well, we get what we deserve.
When I was a little kid, we used to go to fairs. We had this thing called the lucky dip. You would put your hand into a box of goodies and wonder what treasure lay within. Would it be wonderful? Would it be a disappointment? A booby prize? It was only after you grabbed a particular " treasure ", unwrapped it and gazed upon it that you would know if you had had a lucky dip or an unlucky dip. Such is life today.

It has been nearly two weeks since I was last outside my four walls. Nearly a month since I last entered a store or saw another human being, except for delivery people dropping off food or the building manager dropping off a wheelie bin for my rubbish twice a week. Why the maggots in the lead image?
Well, soon it will become clear.

Professional athletes all around the world are dropping dead from Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines,” and the mainstream media is doing everything in its power to hide this fact from the public.
I remember when I looked forward to tomorrow. Today was good fun , Yesterday was exciting and tomorrow was something that was full of anticipation. But what have we got at the moment. Nothing but more bad news and more impossible things to cope with. We have medical apartheid and it is getting worse not better.
