Being on the other side of the Earth from the majority of partipants at the WEF Davos Agenda, I fell behind on the video feeds of their discussions.

The lie of reverse racism is one of the chief tools of the racist to create division and draw people to their side. I realised this early when I first began to reflect on the racism which I learned from my upbringing in conservative northern Queensland. “Oh they receive so many hand-outs from the GovernmentContinue reading “The Lie Of Reverse Racism”

I realise that many will immediately dismiss this on the basis of my friendship with Dr. ShiContinue reading “On The Origin Of COVID-19 And The Trade Difficulties With China”
