From Australia it looks like Democrat voters are leaving the party and blue states in droves and the 90% blue owned and controlled media refuse to accept the Biden leadership is a disaster.
America need a war before the end of the year, or how does it not become Venezuela.
It seems like the Democrats are deliberately running the country into ruin. Meanwhile, the media seem only concerned with leftist woke supremacy.

Just in thinking about the Fauci emails, the COVID situation and the degree of conspiracies.

It may be hard to believe that the leak was a conspiracy. We like to believe that good people and the mass can concentrate cultural and political direction.
With so many eyes looking over every bodies shoulders, red tape,bureaucracies, agencies, departments, we like to think we are in good hands.
FYI, it’s what the Germans believed, it’s what the Kulaks believed, Indigenous populations, the list goes on, we are people, government will respect us and protect us.
But the point I’m making is that with so many people shining light on every dark corner, with so many hoops to jump through, barriers to hurdle we find ourselves in this plight...from potentially a handful of very rich people and one dead janitor, or scientist, or operative.
We have to realise conversations of this ilk, or politics in general, with our closest friends can turn very bad. Why do we think it will not occur at the billionaire level, or at the international level, between egoists, eccentric billionaires or between nations.
Why you ask, why not.
To see if they could, a bet between friends, to take down Trump, and the Dems can rescue everybody again, which they never do, so we could blame China, ask for reparations, and or pursue war.
To believe that every level of the social hierarchy want peace, and love, and to put flowers in their hair and sing songs, fairness, equality, their decision making to be influenced by others takes more faith than to consider wild conspiracies.
Just saying...

The conspiracy theorist knockers will all scoff at the unraveling of another conspiracy.
But we must ask why do we believe government, effectively a Democrat party who want to govern all your affairs akin to the DMV, or the licensing department, ie, a government agency who continually mislead, outright lie and manipulate.
The whole COVID fiasco has been blatant deception from origin until now. Now Sleepy Joe removes the mask order without any new information. Could it be a political factor. No, they wouldn’t. Well...
Could the Democrats have organised the lab leak to stop Trumps progress. No, they wouldn’t. Well...
One of Sleepy Joe’s first actions was to abort a secret plot initiated by Trump and Pompeo to discover the origins, what, whaaat.
Dr Fauci ruled out a lab leak, denied funding, but wait, they wouldn’t would they...hmmm.

Sky News host Rowan Dean says “yesterday's conspiracy theory” about the Wuhan lab leak theory is now “perfectly feasible and highly likely” despite being pre...

As my friend recently said, he’s not worried if we are basically home imprisoned, robots drive the few to work spaces, food is delivered, we have rostered outside time, “...as long as I have my utubes”.
Is anyone else worried about where the Davos circles, the elites, the power brokers behind the Democrats and their plans for our lives.

With regret the book brains of our podcast has stepped out of the kitchen. In moving forward Dr Rob Pensalfini will not collaborate, support or influence this page or it’s opinions. Any views will be mine alone, or posted to challenge populist propaganda. What we believe today can be completely eviserated tomorrow.

As a result I will continue to challenge my own experiences and thinking patterns by researching, questioning and exploring a vast multitude of ideas.
I feel strongly that our knowledge base has been constructed by our past, that we do not have to conform to it, that learning and growing as people we need to shine a light into all aspects of our varied and diverse human experience.

It is never my intention to deliberately cause offence and yet in many ways I remain unapologetic until reason and experience shows my errors. Nothing is written in Niko pen, buried in a concrete vault, hidden in the Andes, where it will never be rubbed out.

I would like to thank Rob for his assistance, sage advice and his ongoing influence, always persisting in my mind saying “read more”.

Growing up I was always told to avoid experimental drugs and fight peer pressure, and only a few years, alright many years later, I am being peer pressured to try experimental drugs!!!

Twelve months ago I would have said I am one of the new age woke.
I thought to be woke, was to be awakened from the slumber, awakened from the delusions.
Delusions like trusting the government, delusions and thought patterns that put matter above what matters, people, patterns of thought that we grow into, almost without thinking. I thought to be woke, was waking from the Aristotelian principles of cause and effect, of quantitive understanding, of body over soul, into a Platonic and Socratic philosophy of spiritual ascendency, of ordering and aligning the soul and psychology, of meditation, of alternative medicines, of chakra cleansing, of interconnectivity.
I still innately feel that the body will erode and die, but the spirit, the mind, will travel on, to begin anew or to travel new beginnings.
That the work we do on ourselves, in helping each other, coalesces into a collective consciousness that improves us all.
But I cannot see the positive work the new woke supremacists are doing.

I understand the concept belief perseverance, the idea that people will hold onto their beliefs the more rational your argument or the more people argue.
I understand that going at each other over issues does very little to change the other, and more importantly in debate or conversation is to find the areas where we do agree.
I realise the woke are trying to change the world for the better, and I want to empathise, but are they just getting ridiculous.

I watched here in Australia the young people go through the gaming and tech boom. Boys growing up through that period swapped the football for the controller, they swapped jumping out of trees for jumping online, and I feel as a result, as the young boys started clubbing and drinking, and fighting, their cotton wool lives hadn’t prepared them for 2 o’clock taxi rank brawls. It just seemed like these kids, full of the twenty something bravado, had no experience for the rougher rigours, and in some way, even how to fall.
It seems to me the next generation has taken it a step further. Where we wrapped the kids in cotton wool to safeguard their bodies from contact, and a great initiative, but now we wrap their minds in cotton wool.

I struggle harder to understand how rational, thinking people can side with the cancel culture woke, particularly with the glaring inconsistencies.

We now cancel Pepe Le Pew, and allow the child sniffing, fondling, Joe Biden. We cancel the Bachelorette for an antebellum party, good, at first thought and with little detail, and allow the N**i costume wearing of Harry. We applaude the Grammys, which is a meritorious event, and yet call for equality of outcome.

Bill Maher recently cited a Rolling Stones article claiming 1.2 million artists, 40,000 thousand streams a day, and yet the bottom 90% make up .6% of the streams. Do the woke claim all these people should get the rewards in equality of outcome.

J B Petersen cites evidence in the Scandinavian countries where the gap has surprisingly widened after equality of outcomes. And what happens when more women take on government, do we really want 50% blokes.

I mean just the other day my partner asked me a question while I was cooking dinner, and I had to say, “shh I’m cooking an egg”. Not my joke, Sir Kenneth Robinson.

Do you really want to board a plane knowing the pilot, male or female, got in on the quota.

I mean soon we are going to have to revert to grunts and groans as speech. Saying anything can be misconstrued and misinterpreted to offend.

“Good day Sir”, to the reply, “Good, for who? Good for the 3 women who will be killed by domestic violence in the US today, good for the 6 middle aged men who will commit su***de in Australia today, good for the 25,000 people who will starve to death today, good for who? Cancel greetings!

I’ve awakened from the delusions of 21st century programming, and now I’ve awoken from the woke. No offence.

There are some problems in America...attack one like this and then we can talk about Pepe Le Pew and Elmer Fudd!!!

Why do we jail people for being poor? Today, half a million Americans are in jail only because they can't afford to post bail, and still more are locked up because they can't pay their debt to the court, sometimes for things as minor as unpaid parking tickets.

That's a wrap! The final episode of season 1 has just been released. It's two on one as Steve and Rob talk to Nick. We discuss sport (poorly), personality typing, personal training tips for lazy people, mental health and its links to creativity and entrepreneurship, social media, RUOK?, parenthood, the (in)visibility of the homeless, and – of course – prisons.

Get it where you get your podcasts!

I grew up watching and learning from the Americans, big brother, Uncle Sam, with a grass is always greener mentality, but, of late, dear friends, the good ole US of A is nearing kooky next door neighbour, a Boo Radley, rather than Atticus Finch, a Robert Ewell, rather than a Tom Robinson, a weird Jack Nicholas character, than a Denzel Washington.

I mean most of this new woke far left agenda is disturbing, and I believe on the verge of becoming dangerous.

I am nearing a hypothesis and am putting the idea out there for review and critique.

I believe that racism did not begin as a psychological disorder, but evolved from ideology, propaganda, delusion and the educated class. This might be a stretch but bare with me.

I struggle to believe that our first peoples came across a white face, or a black face, or an aesthetically different person, and had a visceral biased reaction from the way they looked. It makes sense to me that upon seeing newcomers there would be trepidation, fear and anxiety about the potential threat, but not due to the aesthetic appearance.

The woke crowd would have it that slavery was an inherent racist mentality, but that’s not the truth.

The truth is far more Western Europeans were enslaved into the Middle East, slavery was rampant across the globe, and rampant for thousands of years, and rather than a racist act, a practical act. People need to build the pyramids.

In America slavery existed a short time, and was not the whites who entered into villages and homes kidnapping people, other Africans did this and sold the kidnapped to traders.

It wasn’t long until Americans dissolved this atrocity. Thomas Jefferson tried to pass abolition and tried to write abolition into the Constitution, only losing by one vote. However, I feel that having lived together, in its dysfunctional and archaic way, it wasn’t long until the white population eradicated slavery.

I feel that at differing stages of cultural evolution, the ruling classes, the educated classes, with propaganda, instilled racism. It was the delusion that some peoples were less developed and some cultures were not civilised that led to superiority.

Interesting that the educated classes coming out of the dark ages and through the renaissance believed advanced civilisations needed myth and lore, barter systems, culture and art, borders, communicative language, all of which Indigenous peoples had richly developed.

It wasn’t long before new Americans realised their delusional superiority complex was wrong.

I posit that the vile racism we have today was not started with a visceral objection to skin tone, or head shape, or hair colour. It started when ruling and educated classes spewed vitriol and propaganda about how superior their own races were.

I write this now, because I can see the potential inverse racism coming from the anti racism, anti hunger, cancel culture, far left woke propaganda.

To not accept these new ideologies as substantive means, by corrallary, one must be a racist.

I think no, I think this is dangerous. I think thank God for America, because, whilst it’s been a slow burn, a horrible despicable long walk, it’s always been a march to equality for all.

I have gratitude for America, especially when considering the alternatives. Suppose for a minute the African kidnappers sold slaves to Germany, suppose that man power created a powerful Germany, a Germany that thrived off that manpower, and suppose Germany spread, like all peoples have since Alexander or the Vikings, suppose Germany had the whole of Europe when Hi**er came to power. We would all be dead!!!

And is this what the far left woke agenda is, for the whole of America, and we know with America’s deeply entrenched tendrils circling the world, its ideology will spread through the world, until finally we are all of the same philosophical ideology, because that’s exactly what Hi**er wanted, but he wanted people to look the same too.

Just because people don’t accept this new age, far left woke, anti racist, anti hunger, cancel culture does not mean we don’t want equality for all.

This recent educational propaganda and agenda is not unity, it’s devisive, it’s the small beginnings that will lead to a dysfunctional inverse form of racism, you are with us, or you are cancelled.

I’d love to hear some thoughts.

Where to start? Hmm...firstly Oprah is at the top of her game!!! What a person, beautiful, resolute, diplomatic, reasonable, she remains a majestic outstanding figure...I just love her❤️.

People will make up their own minds about the point of last nights interview. I won’t go on and on about the transparent subterfuge and malicious intent, all with the coy practiced Diana lookalike facade, Meghan is no Diana!!!

The woke far left will suck this up like the gullible fools they are.

But, as a point of interest, maybe watch it again and prove me wrong. I can’t stomach it again.

Oprah was regal. I have watched Oprah for hours, and I guess we all feel like we know her. I felt like early on Oprah was sceptical, dubious and more inclined to call bu****it.

My feeling was Oprah, the consummate professional, gave very little away, dug deep, poked sore spots, massaged, manipulated and caressed a way to the truth...and my read was Meghan was starting to feel Oprah’s sympathy slip away...and boom, a little faux par, oops, I didn’t mean to drop the skin tone remark, but naturally we all sat straight backed...until we could fit it into the puzzle.

We later learned it was not Meghan in the conversations, it was Harry, one conversation, one line, no context, and no clarity.

But, the woke far left will attempt to destroy the monarchy over this, whether true or not. Perhaps if true, the English will rally on a tennis court, and oops, Meghan will say soon she didn’t mean for this, I had mental health problems still pervading my judgement.

Actually I feel sorry for Harry, who’s grandfather dying in hospital, who’s grandmother the Queen has knitted equality into the Empire for 70 decades, who’s reconnection to his family may be forever jeopardised, who could not see the blindside this young woman has served him up.

Probably why his family, seeing this young woman from a wider perspective and clearer eyes, tried to dissuade the whirlwind marriage.

Harry and Meghan may become warriors for the far left, environmentalists, activists, leaders in the new age, and it’s all bu****it.

Harry will see it soon.

After a long hot summer break, Between the Butcher and the block is back THIS FRIDAY at 4pm with Episode 4 of our first season. This week we talk to Curt and Coss, two United Statesians with long experience of US prisons and working with both incarcerated and returned citizens. From very different backgrounds, and working in completely different ways, both of them have come to remarkably siimilar understandings of inspiration, redemption, loss, hope, and chickens.

The butcher is hard at work doing more chopping in the editing room.
This Friday 27th a Trump v Biden, red v blue, capitalsim v socialism podcast special.
We are not changing anyones world view...we are just offering a different perspective.
The academics can learn from the dilettantes and the dilettantes can learn from the academics.
The master tells you where to look...not what to see.

23/11/2020

Friday the 27th we unleash a Trump v Biden special. It's part of a much bigger conversation.
If nothing else Trump's presidency will make more people politicised, more critical, more engaged.
Our podcast, on spotify and where ever you get your pods, asks for some of those enquiries, where to begin, whats the truth.
We know Trump has told many lies, but we ask if the democrat agenda to push into other countries, to push into peoples homes, to have complete control of the narrative is a much bigger, holistic lie.
We ask how much do we really know about hidden agendas, deceptions from both parties, and how we justify ourselves into believing one side.
We ask, right or wrong, left or right, red or blue, to challenge your own biases.
