Many of you may have read that Cardinal George Pell has been convicted of sexual misconduct in Melbourne, Australia. You may not know that the jury reached the guilty verdict on the basis of the evidence of one anonymous complainant about events alleged to have happened in the 1990’s.

Prominent conservative commentators are outraged by the implausibility of the allegations. (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/feb/27/news-corp-columnists-declare-cardinal-pell-innocent-and-a-scapegoat?CMP=fb_gu&fbclid=IwAR08dNKx6WkFBds57r3DXOBld4sxhxUwRQeg1Kry89YDwr2pYSiuW__DlV8) The cardinal is supposed to have committed indecent acts on two boys after mass on Sunday in the sacristy of the busy cathedral with the door open. Australia’s second longest serving Prime Minister John Howard (called a “man of steel” following 9/11 by Bush 2) has written a character reference for Pell.

The fundamental principle of the Western tradition that a conviction needs evidence proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt has been denied to George Pell. This is the Brett Kavanagh story in reverse.

I have experienced the ways in which the courts of Melbourne are misused in the modern era. When promoting replication of art works and memorial tree plantings from Douglas MacArthur’s WW2 waterhole in Morotai where my dad served in 1945, the courts and police were used to strip me of freedom of speech at election time to protect a member of the left leaning Labor Party from my patriotic lobbying. (For a more detailed account see https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2017/11/08/freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity/ )

The West is in a massive culture war. Religion, democracy, freedom and patriotism are under attack from forces that have no respect for the traditions which made us great.

Donald Trump remains the great hope for freedom in America in 2020.

The Labor Party in Australia looks favourite to win an election due in May this year. I dread that outcome.

As allies we Western nations beat fascism in WW2.

But can we beat the enemies of freedom within our nations now?

I’m shocked that this appeared in The Guardian.

The leadership of the country is in the hands of a small group of liberal, secular people hostile to Western Civ and the value set that built this country.

YOU think they’re white.

THEY? They do not think they’re white.

The apparently white people delighting in casually talking about working towards White Genocide..?

THAT is them. And they’re serious about their plans.

FTA:

"On Wednesday Devine said the verdict was devastating and Pell was a big scalp for the “rotten Vatican”.

Concur.

And the more I read --- and despite the gag order on this secret trial, there's plenty --- the more I concur.

"The sole living accuser from the cathedral scandal did not give public evidence."

And the judge reportedly excluded both the prosecution and the defense from disclosing to the jury or discussing in court anything which could bear upon the credibility of the accuser!!

I hope Pell survives Maximum Security, where they are holding him --- until the end of his appeal --- in a 23 hour/day seclusion cell.

And if he survives, I hope he prevails.

The main reason that our values are under attack from within is that many people are getting filthy rich by importing barbarians from without.

Just doing jobs Americans won’t do for two bucks an hour...

Frankfurt School: the 1930s.

Weather Underground, Black Pantgers, et al: the 1960s.

Thanks for catching up with the obvious truth.
