Civilisation is approaching the cliff-edge. Only fully-supported & often heard Free-speech can save us from the ideological lemmings.

This is the jumping-off point that Homo “sapiens” has reached as I write….below are some views taken seriously by a terrifying number of people who vote in elections, pass laws, make judicial judgements and write for influential legacy media:

The human anus was created and designed every bit as much to be the recipient of a male sexual member as it was for the excretion of bodily waste materials.

Some men really do menstruate.

Female Olympic sports will remain fair despite the fact that some competitors were born and defined as male, and thus have muscle development genes with which women who simply retain their gender cannot compete in most events.

There are more than two genders.

Having two male or female “parents” will not in any way confuse an adopted child.

White people have held negroid people back, and negroid people bear no responsibility at all for their fate in life. We must all bend the knee, embrace BLM, and apologise forever….because appeasement is, of course, the only way to deal with those who refuse to accept the civil rights of others – yet insist on voting for the same bunch of utterly corrupt politicians who feed off them like bloated parasites.

Only white people are racist.

Having sex with an eight year old is simply part of the rainbow of sexual experience.

Gambian beach bumsters who pair off with obese white women twice their age are not being exploitative, they are spreading happiness.

Obese white women who believe the Gambian beach bumster spiel are not delusional in any way whatsoever.

People who earn a living in Hollywood and elsewhere pretending to be somebody else are not only excellent arbiters of anthropological and political realities: they’re also likely to make very fine leaders of nations.

Women who wear mini-skirts are a primary cause of earthquakes.

Diversity is in and of itself a good thing.

Under the neoliberal version of capitalism, wealth trickles down.

Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Trial and Brave New World were not literary warnings, they are monopolous fascism blueprints.

Everyone in the UK who voted to leave the EU was – without exception – a bad, little Englander person who deserves to be dismissed as a Hard Right bigot in the way of progress.

Settled science should be the go-to assumption of all those who seek real progress.

We need a World Health Organisation.

We need a World Economic Forum and a new Stakeholder version of economics.

Donald Trump is being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin, to whom he owes $200 zillion.

Bob Woodward is an all-round straightforward good-guy.

The disastrous domino-fall infectious Central Banking and Bourse system is the only way to solve the self-created problems of the human race in its commercial manifestation.

mRNA vaccines are perfectly safe.

This is a time for closed ranks, not open debate.

Age is just a number.

The global economy can continue to grow and be bountiful based – at one and the same time – on the sole use of renewable energy forms and complete abandonment of all fossil energy forms.

Climate change is ongoing and the main culprit is CO2.

I apologise for opening today’s post with such a slurry of horse shit, but I do so to demonstrate in the most overt way possible that the ‘staging post’ I referred to at the outset is one I would sum up as The triumph of fluffy wishful ideology over empirical reality.

In so doing, I posit a conclusion that seems to me entirely reasonable: if otherwise intelligent people can be persuaded that the foregoing stream of nonsense makes any kind of sense in our 3D material metaverse, then convincing them to comply with suicidal fiscal, economic, currency depreciation, diplomatic, vaccination and permawar policies on a mandatory basis is going to be a walk in the park for the New Normalists.

Our species apathy at the minute represents nothing more than the eerie calm that always precedes the perfect storm. While The Slog will continue to build its new page A Compendium of Courage, there can be no escaping the gathering storm. These are the key reasons why the inevitable has now replaced the unthinkable:

* The soaring rise in energy costs

* The power of digital to falsify everything from currency value to election outcomes

* The passage of diktat legislation to crush all opposition

* The epidemiology of uncontrollable war

* The trust John & Jane Doe still have in Big Pharma

* Access to Smartphone ‘money’ being made dependent on ‘good behaviour’ blackmail

* 24/7 distraction of already apathetic electorates.

Here’s a logical future bottom line of survival questions the vast majority of our 8.2 billion fellow humans have not even considered:

1. How do food and medicines get distributed in a world where logistics costs have sky-rocketed thanks to hypersonic energy inflation?

2. What happens to the World economy if the USA lurches into war with itself after November 5^th?

3. How does everyone cope when already radicalised Caliphate fundamentalist diaspora migrants are suddenly starving on top of all that? Is anyone crazy enough to imagine that the backlash against decades of brainless multiculturalism will be anything other than lynch-mob in nature?

4. What will your rights to a roof over your head be as a leaseholder as and when your over-reached freeholder goes bust?

5. What will employers do when those who use public or private transport can’t afford the fares any more? What do you do when taxi drivers can’t afford to put petrol in their vehicles?

6. What happens when your potable water supplier no longer has the funds to guarantee its safety?

7. How will you cope when scared BSDs in the hitech sector suddenly switch off the internet and all its news content? (With the cooperation of just eleven CEOs working in hitech, investment and telecoms, this could be achieved within ten hours at most)

8. How will hospitals crammed with life-saving electronics cope with electricity supplies being interrupted constantly without warning?

None of us can be sure what the catalyst(s)will be for All Hell to break loose, but were you to ask me as a commercial anthropologist what to expect from Homo sapiens mediocris, I can give it in two words: blind panic.

All the more reason, therefore, to donate to the Outspoken, try and forge closer relationships with them, and encourage collaboration between them.

And also – sadly – to keep an eye on globally-focussed organisations that are probably (in my view) what one might call the Controlled Outspoken. One such outfit is variously called MONITOR and CIVICUS. There are others that are traceable back to Brussels – such as Media Freedom Rapid Response.

However, one outfit that has all the right ideas and an unwavering commitment to free speech without mealy-mouthed “conditions” is the Free Speech Union of Australia.

This is how the FSU sets out its stall:

‘The Australian Free Speech Union stands for freedom of speech, of conscience, and of intellectual enquiry, which we regard as the essential pillars of a free society – the foundational freedoms on which all others depend. We believe that human beings cannot generally flourish outside a free society, which means they cannot flourish in the absence of free speech. Free Speech is not the exclusive domain of any particular group, culture or identity but an inalienable right that should be protected for and by all. It is the primary mechanism that allows us to work together in the large pluralistic society which is modern Australia. If we can’t share differing opinions, worldviews, or ideas through speech, society simply cannot function…..Free Speech is currently under assault across all institutions and in particular where it matters most, such as in education, media and the arts. The aim of the Free Speech Union is to restore and protect Free Speech from cultural trends that de-value it and laws that infringe it….we take no political stance or view on the content of people’s speech. We take no position on the validity of others’ opinions, political or otherwise, whether expressed in speech, writing, performance, or in another form….We expect our members not to restrict others’ Free Speech and will insist that our members and those we come to the defence of will also defend the Free Speech of others, even those they vehemently disagree with. The Free Speech Union believes that if society doesn’t uphold the right to express controversial, eccentric, heretical, provocative or unwelcome opinions, then it doesn’t uphold Free Speech at all.’

That’ll do for me.
