The 7th of December 2017 - the Day Australia Lost its Soul…is marriage equality really
about equality?
In the eyes and minds of many Australians, the 7th of December 2017
should become known as the day Australia lost an essential part of its unique character
and perspective on life - its fair go and egalitarian attitude towards all. It
is also the day from which many Australians will recognise that politicians
have no regard for the majority of hard working people living and working and
paying taxes in this country.
After watching the unashamed display put on by politicians in parliament
house on that day, there is little doubt that apart from the YES lobby and
their misguided supporters, many Australians witnessed blatant arrogance and
insensitive exuberance displayed towards the rest of the country. Only 4 out of
150 politicians (2.6%) revealed the courage and the deference to support the
40% of voters who voted NO.
[Thought: With so many local councils wanting to remove Australia day from the
26th of January, it might be appropriate to start referring to the 7th of
December as unAustralia day?]
Once the so-called debate on SSM / equality was over and Australia's
charlatan politicians jubilantly amended the marriage laws, many YES devotees
celebrated their ‘win’ in the belief that waves of euphoric love would spread
across the country transforming it into a paradise kingdom of joy and harmony
and unbridled enlightenment.
Unfortunately and sadly, there were YES supporters who secretly would
have preferred to be NO supporters and either assumed the outcome would be an
inevitable YES or did not want to face the pressures of the political
correction brigade. Either way, they voted YES so they could be seen to support
the ideals of equal rights and get back to their lives without further unwanted
interruption.
The remaining YES supporters believed they were endorsing the
progressive ideal of establishing the same rights for all Australians. Mantras
of equality for all; equal marriage; same sex marriage were mindlessly repeated
in blissful ignorance of having been used in a classic Machiavellian move. Such
high ideals appealed to many voters and were so effective in their influence
that the outcome of the postal survey was decided in the first week, well before
the debate commenced. At the very least, the majority of the 60% who selected
YES naively believed that equity and fairness were the prime motivations for
giving their support.
Regardless of the reasons 60% chose YES, their wishful thinking will not
last long as more and more Australians realise that the opposite is not only to
be the new reality, but the reality that was intended all along. In place of a
kingdom of glorious love and equality for all, the citizens of Australia will
gradually recognise the need to defend themselves against a deluge of coercive
moves and underhanded tactics driven by a single goal - to impose acquiescence
to the eventual collapse of western culture as we have known it.
The mantras were simply a euphoric distraction and
it is now the time to punish the regressive 40%.
Behind the scenes sat an unforeseen coalition of groups that were not
prominent during the survey and silently allowed the popular notion of
‘equality for all’ to spearhead the preordained result. All the while these
groups harboured another, far more malicious, destructive, and longstanding
agenda in readiness for an expected clear-cut YES result.
There are many labels and actions that apply to such groups. Some
include: leftists, socialists, marxists, communists, Labor, Greens, Fabians,
liberalists, anti-facists / anti-racists / anti-bullies, safe schools,
feminists, and political correction / thought police. The list goes on.
Together they constitute a broad coalition of left-leaning groups and individuals
known as the Left Unity. All are founded on communist ideals and actively
promote the acceptance of socialism for Australia.
Officially, such groups include: Australian Greens; Australian Labor
Party; Communist Party of Australia (Marxist–Leninist - also established and
financed the Search Foundation); Getup (supports and promotes Labor and Greens'
agenda); Socialist Alliance (the university student network); Socialist
Alternative; Socialist Equality Party; Socialist Party; Solidarity; and
Workers' Liberty Australia. Again the list goes on. The Communist Party
maintains a "Roadmap to the Left" that lists political parties,
organisations, and media outlets committed to developing a "comprehensive
alternative to neo-liberal capitalism". Regardless of their labels, or who
the individuals are, or the groups they are affiliated with, all share a common
mindset: socialism or more accurately, a neo-Marxist / cultural Marxist
doctrine.
Tracing back through the history of leftist thinking to determine the
roots of cultural Marxism is not a simple task. Even learned experts do not
agree on what gave rise to the ideals and agendas of the current doctrine. In
reading through the mountain of articles available online, the only consistent
pattern that emerges is the backgrounds and biases of the authors. That is,
their position on the political spectrum determines whether cultural Marxism is
accepted as valid (a right wing claim) or a fabrication / right wing conspiracy
(a left wing claim). The left denies the existence of cultural Marxism, the
right see it as the root of all evils in the Western world.
Several names and organisations stand out over the course of the decades
since the Communist Revolution: Marx of course, Antonio Gramsci (Italian
Marxist – The Prison Notebooks and Cultural hegemony), Georg Lukács (cultural
terrorism), Felix Weil (funded a new Marxist Institute for Social Research,
which later became the Frankfurt School), Columbia University (published works
on Critical Theory), Theodor Adorno (Frankfurt School - redefined views on
gender roles and sexual mores as prejudice), Max Horkheimer (Frankfurt School -
essay titled Traditional and Critical Theory: Critical Theory), Herbert Marcuse
(Frankfurt School - Eros and Civilization), and Rudi Dutschke (the long march through
the institutions).
The above names and their key works are briefly listed in case anyone
wants to look into each in more detail. The complete list is far longer. The
point made here is that a long line of Marxist related thinking culminated in
the 1960’s and has continued to influence our lives and events to this day.
The social / cultural revolution of the 1960s rapidly opened the door to
a range of liberations: black power, feminism, gay rights, sexual freedom, and
the anti-establishment movement.
These ideals and actions were consistent with the principles that were
articulated by the earlier Marxist proponents. Since the 60s, we have witnessed
the disturbing effects of multiculturalism, the family court, racial tensions,
anti-discrimination laws, political correctness, an inconsistent legal system,
media bias, information control, government propaganda and lies, the rewriting
of history, the erosion of basic rights and free speech, gender dysphoria and
fluidity, and the effects of postmodernism (relative thinking) and its
offshoots, Critical Theory, Cultural Studies, Feminist Theory, and Gender Studies.
In all likelihood, none of the Left Unity groups will agree or admit to
the existence of cultural Marxism, or the Frankfurt School, or even the broader
Marxist influences that have emerged over the past 100 years. Clearly the
influences evolved over a long period of time and as yet have not been
consolidated into an agreed field of thought or doctrine. Perhaps they simply
do not want to. However, in the absence of an outright acknowledgement, it is
difficult to establish the exact nature of the Left Unity’s common roots. What
is obvious is that all share the ideals of cultural Marxism regardless of
whether or not they exist or are officially acknowledged by the individual
groups.
Although many writers claim the Frankfurt School produced a list of 11
recommendations (an 11 step plan of cultural subversion) for the systematic
corruption of western culture, it simply is not possible to directly attribute
the list to the school or any of its members. A more plausible explanation is
that the list could have been compiled from previous Marxist works.
Therefore, rather than get caught up in proving if the Frankfurt school
produced this list, it is more productive to read though the recommendations
and ask whether or not examples of each can be confirmed. Then, ask why such a
list exists at all - where could it have come from given that present day
examples abound for each and every recommendation.
On completing this exercise, it will be difficult to deny the conclusion
that the 11 recommendations neatly summarise how to undermine the foundations
of our society and bring about the type of dystopia we now see throughout
Australia every day:
1.
Establish wide ranging racism
offences and hate speech laws.
2.
Generate continual change to
cause confusion.
3.
Introduce sexual propaganda in
schools and expose children to pornography to encourage acceptance and desire
for homosexualisation.
4.
Undermine and remove parental and
teachers’ authority.
5.
Use immigration to destroy
national identity and provoke racial tension.
6.
Enable excessive use of alcoholic
drink and recreational drugs.
7.
Establish sexual deviance as a
norm in society.
8.
Create an unreliable legal system
with bias against the victims of crime (trauma through injustice).
9.
Induce dependency on state
benefits.
10.
Control and dumb down all media.
(Six companies now control 96 percent of the world’s media).
11.
Breakdown the family unit.
As mentioned, members of the Frankfurt School did publish works on
Critical Theory. The basic principles have now evolved into a field of study
known by the same seemingly innocuous title that instructs students on the
destructive criticism of Western culture. The education system has become the
vehicle to gradually erode Christian values and morality and instil in students
a mindset of continual criticism of all aspects of Western culture over time.
In essence, Critical Theory is another strategy for undermining and eventually
destroying Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy,
morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism,
heredity, ethno-centrism, and conservatism. Critical Theory is underscored by a
deep seated belief in the pervasiveness of Western evils: racism, sexism,
colonialism, nationalism, homophobia, fascism, xenophobia, imperialism, white
supremacy, and religious bigotry (applied only to Christianity).
In addition to a decades long presence of the Socialist Alliance network
within Australian Universities, many, if not all universities, particularly the
G8 group, cannot be viewed as anything other than leftist. Much of the content,
the nature of the subjects, their academics, and the students themselves
observe a highly progressive left-wing bias. All teach subjects and courses
that cover one or more of the critical theory related topics listed beforehand.
This is a form of mind programming that is made even more potent due to the
overrepresentation of feminist devotees and feminism studies in universities.
Is anyone still wondering why 60% of voters supported the YES position
and why the greater proportion of YES voters was aged less than 30 years? This
article has only scratched the surface of how far leftist ideology has taken
root within Australia. In light of the outcome of the SSM survey, it is also
clear that their influence has spread far wider and deeper than most have
imagined.
This leaves us with one more question to ponder. On the 7th
of /December 2017, were the politicians celebrating a win for SSM or the
triumph of ‘cultural Marxism’ in Australia?
