News from around the globe that the newspapers seldom print

While I agree with most of the material passed on I may not be in agreement with all. However there is much we can learn from some that we disagree with. Remember it was once thought that the earth was flat.

It is left to your judgment to determine what you agree with and what to act upon.

Political institutions and beaurocracy has been infiltrated with scum that supports this lifestyle.

Alarm before the norm

HAS anybody noticed that what used to be "normal" isn't any more?

It is partly the dedication of the social engineers and partly inevitable change, but there is now a "new normal" emerging in everything from football to child rearing.

To begin, three-year-olds are being taught that the "normal" family is no longer made up of a mother and father living together and engaging in the necessary level of friendship to conceive 2.4 children. Instead, toddlers are being painted into neat little boxes with instructions on lesbian motherhood and how terrific it can be to have two "daddies" whose idea of a fun weekend is marching in the gay mardi gras.

It is now considered "normal" to have a taxpayer- funded booklet that amounts to lesbian propaganda circulated to childcare centres arguing that "father's day" be renamed something inspirational like "biologically necessary but socially inept and nuisance-causing person's day". The front of this booklet, called We're Here, says it was written by "members of lesbian parents playgroups in the City of Darebin, although what gives them the right to have such access to the kids is not immediately obvious. Regardless, it offers pages of material that can be used to confuse toddlers, including a recommendation for something called a "persona doll", which educates little minds in a politically correct way about sperm donors, homophobia and denim boiler suits.

When challenged last week, some of the supporters of this campaign found it physically impossible to declare that "the norm" was actually a family with two sexes, no gender realignment, and very little prejudice. Of course the "new normal" doesn't stop in bubs' grade, which is now more likely to be known as "independent little persons' pre-graduation class", because the word "bub" is demeaning and may prompt action under the anti-vilification laws.

As parents absorbed the news that a school could help organise the Pill and an abortion for a 12-year-old child without their approval, they were required to face the fact that children over 15 "own" their school results and the authorities will not share them with mum and dad, even if they are paying the bills. That means it is now "normal" that if Billy is bombing out of Year 11 he can insist nobody tell his parents. The school has a right to the results, the child has a right to the results, but the parent has no right to anything.

This is the "new normal" in education. All this doesn't stop at the schools. Senior police admitted yesterday what had been an accidental discovery: it is legal for gay men to meet and have sex in public toilets provided they close the door. Is that really "normal" behaviour? Is it really the standard of this community that the rights of those perverted people are put ahead of the children at the park who might want to use the facilities without being confronted by men who think a lavatory sexy?

There's much more.

Once there would have been screaming in the streets if we had to pay more than $1 a litre for petrol. Now it is so normal to reach $1.20 nobody notices. Graffiti, too, has become the norm. There are now shops specialising in the tools of vandalism, and it seems normal to see buildings defaced. Drugs are so normal shops have been established to sell the paraphernalia for growing them. It is now normal to see addicts shooting up outside a school and think it is reasonable that the kids step over discarded syringes on the way to class. It is normal for current affairs television to insult the intelligence and for obscenity in any of its many forms to leap from the TV set in early evening.

WHERE it was once normal only to hint at sex on television, and never show a "dead" body, the new normal means breasts, bottoms and lots of panting coupled with forensic close-ups of partly dissected "corpses". All this is not a call to arms. It is a call to be alert. Our view of what is acceptable is being manipulated and most of us either have not noticed or can't be bothered fighting back.

Perhaps the best hope now is that everybody conduct their own audit of what is "normal", decide what must not change, and fight like hell to make sure it does not. Inaction means acceptance.
