Finding What is Real in an Unreal World

24 August 2023

Nothing is as it seems. What kind of reality are we living in?

The sun rises, and the sun sets. The rain falls, and the sun dries it up. The seasons come and go. The years pass. Reality, for sure.

But how real are our connections with our community and society? Are we masters of our own destiny? How free are we to encourage other people’s uncertain reality?

Let’s explore our reality with a selection of examples:

Allopathic Medicine vs. Natural Medicine

Allopathic medicine is another term for conventional, or modern Western medicine. It is an evidence-based system where doctors and other healthcare professionals treat symptoms using conventional medications. (Medical News Today)

Naturopathy, or natural medicine, is a form of alternative medicine with a deep history of traditional philosophies and practices and natural treatment options for patients. It aims at stimulating the body’s self-healing capacity and promotes a concept of going back to an innate balance. It involves the treatment and prevention of health disorders through the use of natural therapies, methods and materials. (Top Doctors)

Allopathic medicine is resourced by Big Pharma, which makes big bucks in the process. Who promotes allopathic medicine? Big pharma naturally, and national, state, and mainstream media. Who indemnifies allopathic medicine? National government from our tax funds. A very tight club!

Allopathic medicine is also the World Health Organisation’s vehicle for all new vaccines and their current push for the new Pandemic Preparedness Treaty that would override all nation-state autonomy in terms of healthcare protocols.

On the other hand, natural medicine hardly ever gets any airtime on legacy media. Notice one of its aims is to stimulate the body’s self-healing capacity, no big bucks here for big pharma!

I don’t think that God ever intended us to be sick or dependent on medication for the rest of our lives:

I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land.
I will give you a full lifespan.
(Exodus 23:25-26)

Gender Dysphoria

Senator Gerard Rennick’s speech on 1st August this year, entitled: “Children can’t drive, so why can they medically change their gender?” is a great summary of this example of a globalist agenda.

Our Western world’s schoolchildren are being indoctrinated with a dystopian narrative that each of them can select the gender they will be, as they deny the reality that body parts can be used to identify them.

In many parts of the Western world, parents are no longer required to consent to the administration of puberty blockers or sex reassignment surgery paid for by the state — our taxes.

Where did this narrative come from? Whose project is this? What disturbs me to the core is that most sensible-thinking parents are allowing this to happen. Where is their outcry? They are meekly submitting, as they want to be nice and supportive of others’ views. Many of these parents will have no grandchildren as a result. Is this what they really want?

Legislation to Combat Misinformation and Disinformation

Why is Labor bringing this bill forward? Three years ago, none of us even knew these words — Misinformation and Disinformation, far less used them! Who gets to decide what is right and what is wrong? Perhaps it’s the Ministry of Truth?

Did we elect representatives to bring this legislation before Parliament? I don’t think we did! So why is it on the table? The design is simple, to prevent us all from having a balanced, respectful debate about ideas. So that we will soon forget how to politely disagree with others as we will all believe, without question, the truth, according to the Ministry of Truth. It has become the norm that to be accepted in society and to carry the airs of superior moral authority, we have to submit to the righteous narrative of the new woke religion.

Babies Born Alive and Left to Die

Michelle Pearse, CEO of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) brought us this story of the barbaric practice of leaving the living to die on cold slabs in hospital after failed abortions. I can’t imagine how the nurses and doctors involved can sleep at night! If I was present in those hospital wards, I am sure I would be arrested for trying to save a life and give that child to a desperate couple seeking an adoption.

But why are both main parties, the Greens and Teals, and the mainstream media, simply not interested in this genocide? May I go further: why are nearly all our Christian churches silent on this matter?

This is yet another example of practices and procedures being conducted and condoned by the legal authorities, that should be outraged and bring the perpetrators to book.

It demonstrates where the real authority is coming from in society, and it’s not from the people or institutions we expect.

The Deep State and Julian Assange

Detained in London’s Belmarsh prison under the threat of extradition to the US for 1,502 days now, Julian Assange’s national security case has transcended the trials of a garden-variety nightmare for politically inconvenient whistleblowers. (Melissa Coade, 23 May 2023)

Senator Gerard Rennick, on 10 August 2023, spoke up in favour of his release in the Senate. His crystal-clear argument, namely that no one has been harmed by Julian’s whistleblowing other than the despicable behaviour of some NATO military. Also, Rennick asks why are the journalists from the Guardian Newspaper not on trial, as they were the ones who published damming evidence?

Rennick’s speech was delivered respectfully, succinctly and with great grace. But right at the end, he questioned the activities of the deep state, just as the chair called him to order:

So, I think in the name of humanity, and in the name of our relations – and this is not an attack on the people of the US or the people of Great Britain. But an attack on the Deep State that has taken over these country’s governments. (Rennick)

I thought the deep state was the dark power behind the FBI and the CIA in espionage movies, but now we have the deep state coming under scrutiny in our parliament!  I think this a great moment from Rennick, and I believe his one-liner is spot on. Western nations are not being governed by their governments at all! Our representatives are now merely puppets of the Deep State.

Climate Change Religion

The idealogues say, so much research has been done that the question is settled! This is the antithesis of science, where the more research is done, the more questions are bound to emerge.

Consider the recent floods in Scandinavia and China. And the bushfires in Hawaii. The ideologues couldn’t help delighting in their latest proofs of impending global disaster.

What has hit home for me was that as soon as the Albanese, Labor government was elected in May this year, the corporate giants came out with their net-zero agendas in harmony. Mining companies, energy retailers, food retailers, airlines, and of course, the zero-emissions electric cars.

Anyone daring to question this wall-to-wall narrative is a conspiracy theorist and is ridiculed or ignored. But thanks to a growing army of alternative media outlets, another perspective is emerging. For example, Jeff Taylor and the Hon. John Ruddick, Liberal Democratic Party, New South Wales. I applaud their evidenced-based debate.

The precision orchestration of climate change hysteria across the Western world is clear evidence for me that we, the people, have not pushed this agenda. Rather it has been pushed on to us by globalists simply seeking to increase their wealth and world domination. And perhaps the greatest tragedy is that nearly all elected representatives in the Western world have opened the door for them, despite the trashing of their national economies as a consequence.

What Can We Do?

Stand Firm. Guard our hearts. Make sure we don’t succumb to any of the globalist agendas ourselves.

Our citizenship is in heaven, and we know who wins in the end! Therefore, rejoice that we are living through this season where evil is in plain sight.

Build upon and work on our relationships, especially with those who don’t see the world as we do.

Have an answer for everyone who asks us, so that those curious around, can be led forward into personal responsibility and freedom.

Ensure that we know what our purpose is and put in all the hard yards necessary to make that a reality.

We can, and we will make a difference!

    Thanks for your article Jim. I applaud your title and succinct summary of many issues. Let me comment on one issue you raise (I trust others will comment on other issues). You comment that you are disturbed most sensible-thinking parents are allowing this to happen. I am not sure parents are “allowing” this. Some may affirm their children’s life decision about their gender, many others (especially Christian parents) accept with deep anguish and pain but do so because they do not want their child to self harm or lose their child. I think they believe what doctors, councillors and the law tell them. It is very difficult and a situation I have not been in and so others more equipped to comment may have better insights.

    Stephen, with a deep sigh I read your comment. Yes you are right, I accept that. If I were a parent faced with a child wanting to change course, I have no idea what I would do. I accept that there would be a huge internal battle going on – ‘they do not want their child to self harm or lose their child’.
    In defense of my ‘allowing’ word, I was not thinking of the individual family scale of parent with child. I was thinking on the collective scale, the society level. I was in anguish, am in anguish, that ‘we’ have ‘let’ the drama get to this diabolical state. So my angst is mainly directed at the legislatures that have obediently bowed the knee to the relentless war on common sense and decency. As a collective, ‘we have allowed’ this to happen. We, collective, have not listened to the watchmen.
