Some time ago I watched "The Man who shot Liberty Valance " - it should be compulsory viewing for everyone in America right now, if not the entire world. What a spectacular tale about the value of a vote and the value of free and fair elections.
I have watched it before, but never before has that message come through so loud and clear as it did in my recent rewatch. .
What was it about? A bad guy and his bully mates trying to terrorise a community into submission. A weak Marshall, afraid to confront the baddies; a newspaper man frightened of the bad guys torching his newspaper office and or killing him; and townspeople too afraid to confront the menace that is ruining their lives.

I dedicate this article to the women who fought, died and tragically were lost.
Alongside the brave men who did the same.
I dedicate it to the women who kept the wheels turning on the farms and in the mines and in the factories and in the family homes.
There is great equality in life and in death. But nowhere as great as in the love we feel in our hearts.
The concept of Mother’s Day as we know it in Australia began in the United States in the days of the Civil War by two ladies who were Peace advocates and suffragettes. They started a campaign to care for wounded soldiers from both sides by creating Mother’s Day Work Clubs to improve public health.
They made a Mother’s Day proclamation in 1870 and called on mothers of all nationalities to join together and promote the amicable settlement of international disputes. The movement did not succeed. The lady’s name was Anna Jarvis but she persisted with the idea of setting aside a special day to honour all mothers because a mother is "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world".
Some time ago, I watched a documentary about a man who, by being a spy, changed people's lives and, in turn, changed his own.
It began when he saw an advertisement in his newspaper that sought men between the ages of 80 and 90 to work for a 3 month job. The requirement was that the successful applicant had to be technically savvy and willing to deepen that knowledge. He would also have to live away from home for 3 months.
A number of older gentlemen applied. One man was selected and his named was Sergio.

" The benefits of government can vary depending on the specific form of government and its effectiveness. Here are some general benefits associated with well-functioning governments:"
And therein lies the rub: what is a well functioning government?
What makes it the thing that we will vote for, support and defend?
What makes us actually WANT a government? To pay taxes? To be brow beaten? Seriously, why do we have a government?
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently put up a defense of its violation of its own legal requirements by submitting draft amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) for a vote at the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA) this May.
This was in response to various concerns raised in parliaments and civil society. This matters because (i) in ignoring legal requirements and rushing a vote the WHO is putting global health and economies at risk, and (ii) the WHO is acting like a spoiled child, which suggests the organization is no longer fit for its mandate.
Our WEF-captured Australian Government is attempting to use the device of "violent men" to impose “age-assurance technologies” to surveil and censor, and to remove all anonymity from the internet.
"I will walk with women across Australia to say enough is enough," Albanese said on social media platform X. "Violence against women is an epidemic. We must do better." - Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, 27 April, 2024
Have our Governments become backseat drivers in our lives? Telling us what to do? To Think? To Act?
They have changed the measure of our world.
We call it the Nanny State, but aren't they just an annoying and dangerous voice in our ears who, quite frankly, we can do without?
Let's face it, all they do is sow seeds of doubt and fear in our minds. It is as if that is their purpose: to make us too nervous or frightened to act or react.
Fear is a great weapon.
A commenter on our blog, Old Bushie said this:
" They are selling lies ...They are selling illusions. They are selling dancing nurses to mask murder. Selling lies and people are buying the lies."
At the end of the day , it is the measure of our souls we should be concerned about. Because the measure of our souls has overstepped the order of our souls and a foot is now a jack boot. So here we go into Shaydee's deep dive into what is happening around the world. The so called leaders have crossed the line. They have overstepped the order of the soul and . like it or not, our leaders have overstepped the mark

On 7 May 2023, Charles Windsor was crowned King Charles III of England and its dominions with the crown of St Edward the Confessor, made for the coronation of Charles Stuart, King Charles II in 1661, following the Restoration.
The history of Charles II makes the St Edward Crown hardly fit to be at the centre of all the religious pomp and ceremony displayed.
The Battle of the Coral Sea is regarded by some as the action that saved Australia in WW2. That is an over-simplistic view in my opinion. It was certainly a major factor in turning the tide against Japan but it was one of a conglomerate of successful campaigns which, together, stopped their advance in the Pacific.
The battle was fought between the 4th and 8th May, 1942. It was the first sea battle between forces built around aircraft carriers and fought by aircraft rather than ships.

I remember when I arrived in Australia, all those decades ago, I had an accent that I would chuckle at today.
Now I speak with an accent that is proudly Australian.
I was a kid from Europe whose parents barely spoke English. We were almost like kids that had been adopted by parents that we did not know and did not understand.
And I learned ballroom dancing
