2009 Social Commentaries at Magic City Morning Star News
Dec 31, 2009 Letter from My Sister: In for the Money So now I have deposited $31.55 on your credit card and stolen $11 from your credit card. So who are you going to sue? Me for stealing from your credit card or the bank for paying it when you didn't authorise it? or maybe both!
Dec 29, 2009 Men and Inexcusible Behaviour Today, research is casting doubt on the myth of the innocent female. That is not a pleasant prospect for the Feminist movement. Destroy the myth and you destroy the political power base of the movement.
Dec 22, 2009 "Merry Christmas" is making a come back All we do is offend the great majority of our residents by this politically correct nonsense and watering down of the historically accurate view of Christmas.
Dec 9, 2009 Analyzing Politically Motivated Science Scare Mongering We conclude that the global warming alarm will fade, but not before much additional harm is done by governments and individuals making inferior decisions on the basis of unscientific forecasts
Dec 6, 2009 Andrew Bolt's Warning on U.N.'s Copenhagen Emissions Treaty The full article from which quotes are taken appears in Andrew Bolt's Herald Sun Column. This is a warning to the Australian people. How much more does it apply to the American People.
Dec 3, 2009 Global Warming Petition Project The 'anti-global warming' camp is quite significant, and the information that they present is extensive. Today, I would like to provide you with a little information about them, and give you opportunity to check out what they say.
Dec 2, 2009 Shifting Historical Perspectives? The worst of the bunch however, are those who prefer to rewrite history to suit their own political ideologies. In that endeavour, it makes no 'nevermind' whether it is Islamic rewriting of history, or the secularist anti-God, anti-Judeo/Christian who does the writing. The end result is the same: We are deceived about our own history, and our faith is undermined.
Dec 2, 2009 An Aussie Poem This poem from an unknown original author and sent to me by email, will not be appreciated by very religious or very conservative people. You should not read it if you are easily offended. It does however have appeal to ordinary Aussies.
Dec 1, 2009 Remember The Lost Received in an email. According to Snopes this is Real - Origins: This is a real picture, taken in Iraq on 9 September 2003 by the Baker Company, with the 7th Marines, 1st Battalion, to honor the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. According to the Rock Hill, South Carolina, Herald
Dec 1, 2009 Chanukah and Christmas Facts Just a few helpful facts about the upcoming holiday season and the history behind the different celebrations.
Dec 1, 2009 Politically Incorrect Humour Again Not for those who get their knickers in a knot over political correctness, multiculturalism, and other big words with activist agendas behind them.
Nov. 26, 2009 Trust the Lab on Global Warming If you can't trust what the 'Lab' says, then there is no use quoting something straight from the 'horse's mouth' either. There are a lot of people in this world however, who use their brains and don't let themselves be conned by either themselves or those with the pedigree breeds.
Nov 25, 2009 Sacrosanct Cultural Use? Here in the US, we have people claiming that because their grandfathers got away with damaging forest ecosystems by driving motorized vehicles through them, distrubing soil and wildlife, and because their fathers did the same, that now they must be allowed to do so as part of an historic exercise of their family culture, a part of a culture of off-road vehicle use in the USA.
Nov 24 2009 Faroe Island Denmark Whale Slaughter Culture I include only the first photo so that you can get some idea of what it might have been like. (The rest can be found on the website mentioned.) Under the photograph is the spiel that is requested to be sent around the world to stop this slaughter of whales.
Nov 16, 2009 America's Never Ending Story It's time to stop the 'Deja-Vu' of past mistakes. It's time to take a good hard look at where we have been and where we are headed. If we don't, we may find ourselves somewhere that we don't want to be.
Nov 11, 2009 More Media Misrepresentation: Honest Reporting Canada Hot on the heels of yesterday's article entitled: Media Psychoses and a Mental Press comes this report from Honest Reporting Canada that demonstrates either the Mental illness suffered by Media, or the outright lies that they tell
Nov 10, 2009 Media Psychoses and a Mental Press With live in a very technological age, and information flows fast and free, but often we do not take the time to put that information into perspective. For this reason I have written many articles on the issue of Truth and Media.
Nov 7, 2009 Google Political Control As China's 'Democratic' posturing increases, it will surely come to be seen as more and more incongruent to the common man, in view of such stringent Media censorship. If it ever comes to a 'show down', one wonders who and what will be left standing when the dust settles.
Nov 9, 2009 China, Google or Webhosting affects KingsCalendar Well what sort of nonsense is that? The interesting thing though, is, that the last person to access Kingscalendar before it stopped working, was a Hong Kong Internet provider!
Nov 1, 2009 Egyptian Coins 'Prove' Joseph in Egypt. Joseph's name appears twice on this coin, written in hieroglyphs: once the original name, Joseph, and once his Egyptian name, Saba Sabani, which was given to him by Pharaoh when he became treasurer.
Oct 29, 2009 Politics and Realities. I wonder what would happen if the USA was coming under daily rocket fire from, oh - I don't know - say - Cuba? Would the United Nations be heaping scorn on President Obama for defending himself?
Oct 29, 2009 A Letter for my teacher I think you have a very enjoyable life in china until you get to Baotao as an English teacher in that stupid training school. But the thing is, in china, it is very normal to work over time and do things not abided by the contract.
Oct 28, 2009 Human Rights and Social Engineering This type of argument about being 'behind the times' is often used, but as my own home state has discovered to it's detriment, 'keeping up with the times' often results in social catastrophe. (One week to Gay vote in Maine)
Oct 22, 2009 Science Debunks itself. I read today in 'The Australian' Newspaper an article about how one of our many 'missing links' that proves evolution, has now been discovered to be missing the link altogether.
Oct 21, 2009 Thankfully Starting Over Sometimes, we just have to 'blast the granite' into which we are set, and get ourselves free so as not to waste, (as Nan Russell put it), 'enormous effort producing something inherently flawed'.
Oct 21, 2009 Bible Confusion 734 - 722 BCE One thing is certain however, that the only chronological error is 2 Kings 15:27 which gives Pekah a 20 year reign, and that the redactors were a little confused about which events applied to which kings.
Oct 17, 2009 Domestic Violence against Men Reproduced with permission of it's Author, is an email concerning a student's research into the issue of 'Domestic Violence Against Men'.
Oct 15, 2009 Blindspots in the Workplace I have this week viewed the documentary, 'Blindspot: Hitler's Secretary', and found it riveting. What a powerful story. Our opinions of people are based on 'snapshots' of them in certain situations. Through Frau Junge's story, we can see that sometimes, those who appear to be the nicest of people, are in fact monsters, and that those who claim to be acting 'for our benefit', are doing us the greatest harm and putting us in the greatest danger.
Oct 12, 2009 Toxic Bosses and Chinese Friendship in Baotou I don't do it for the money. I don't do it to be altruistic. I am very selfish in why I remain teaching in China. I do it because it makes me feel alive, and no nasty toxic boss like Cui Lirong can change that.
Oct 11, 2009 Management Lies in EET Baotou The Australian former employee of EET was apparently in the process of talking to some of the parents of his former students the other day, when they received a telephone call from EET management saying that the staff member had had to return to Australia, but that he would be back on October 17th.
Oct 8, 2009 Racism in Canadian - Taiwan Venture in Inner Mongolia. "Their decision not to employ 'non white' staff in EET Baotou was based in the expressed attitudes and sentiments of the people of Baotou."
Oct 7, 2009 Thanks and Apologies to Magic City Contributing writers. I want to thank those writers who had sent me copies of their work, and I wish to apologise to Wm Fankboner for not yet having had time to amend one of his previous articles. My first priority has been to get new articles published.
Oct 7, 2009 Canadian Hospital Deal associated with Slave-like working conditions in China. Low pay, excessive extra working hours without pay, canceled days off without pay, and other emotional and psychological mistreatment of staff has resulted in high turnover of staff.
Oct 6, 2009 Canadian Nursing School in Inner Mongolia caught up in International dispute. Young people will pay huge sums of money to be taught basic nursing and English language skills, so as to qualify for special Canadian Government schemes to bring foreigners to Canada to work in Canadian Hospitals.
Oct 5, 2009 Canadian Doctor in workplace dispute in China The two principals of a Nurses Training venture in Baotou Inner Mongolia China are currently in a dispute with a former Australian Staff Member in the EET Students English Training Center... low pay, excessive extra working hours without pay, canceled days off without pay, and other emotional and psychological mistreatment of staff by (Dr.) Cui Lirong, has resulted in high turnover of staff.
Oct 4, 2009 Taiwan - Canadian Venture in China in trouble. It is also reported that not even the Chinese staff like working for the company, as to date, the longest serving Chinese member of staff has only been with the company for two months. The rest of the staff have been employed for less than one month. Whilst their language school venture ostensibly provides English tutoring for Chinese Students, their business interests also involve the opening of a 'nurses training school', to provide basic nursing training to young women so that they may qualify for positions in Canadian hospitals or Nursing Schools.
Sep 30, 2009 Update on BenDedek in Baotou On the downside, Baotou is currently suffering from Swine Flu - H1N1 is it? Schools have closed down earlier than intended for National Day festivities, with some schools in lockdown. Gossip is rampant but I have no hard facts about the number of deaths.
Sep 27, 2009 Interruption to publishing at Magic This much at least I have been prepared for since I contacted the Australian Embassy a month ago, and informed them of not just the insane and 'slave like' conditions I was working under, but the actual verbal threats of what could happen to a foreigner who causes too much trouble for Chinese people.
Sep 27, 2009 Multiculturalism: The Loss of Culture We in our western democracies share an abhorrence for communism and other totalitarian regimes, but it seems that as long as we sugar coat our 'loss of freedoms', we really don't mind living in totalitarian societies. We like to believe that we are a free and democratic society that is very egalitarian and accepting of others, but it is my belief that our thinking and many of our cultural beliefs are no less a result of 'political and media propaganda', than are those of people raised in totalitarian states.
Sep 26, 2009 Competing Agendas vs. Multiculturalism One group of activists who will do anything to devalue 'men' (fathers, and grandfathers), are the feminazis, and although many do not realise it, activism itself has a heirachy of power, with the feminists at the top. No where was this better demonstrated in Australia than in relation to some comments made about women by a Muslim Sheik. In that instance, we saw the power of feminism trump political correctness and multiculturalism.
Sep 25, 2009 Hypocrisy in Multiculturalism As demonstration of a how 'non accepting' society is of 'ethnic culture', I bring to your attention a recent article which will disturb many people I am sure, but if you can take your focus off the actual 'fact of the matter', and look at the principle of the matter, which is to say of 'multiculturalism, racism and political correctness', you must at the very least, recognise that so much of the spiel about 'racism and multiculturalism' is hypocritical.
Sep 24, 2009 Role Reversal in Society Over the last few years I have not only been providing links to instances of female violence (to combat the feminist myth of the loving nurturing mother vs. the testosterone filled violent husband and father), but I have written extensively about the social engineering of society by activist agendas.
Aug 8, 2009 Greenpeace, Political Activism and Obeying the Law Whatever cause one wishes to fight, there can never be any justification for saying that one is excused from obeying the law, but that everyone else must.
Aug 5, 2009 Political Correctness and Schoolyard Bullying Cultural Marxists come in two colours. One is the ideologue who pretends to care about his country but cares only for political power. The other is the 'user' who jumps on the bandwagon of any movement that will serve his immediate purpose; feed his immediate needs; and make himself feel important.
Jul 21, 2009 Australia: Racism rears it's ugly head! I think that westerners are too bedazzled by their own brilliance to see what is really going on around them, and too full of false politically correct guilt to make rational decisions about anything. But what would I know! I'm just an Australian white man!
Jul 19, 2009 Fate of the 'Chinese Bribe Takers' in Rio Tinto Scandal So it seems that once again the Chinese Government is cracking down hard on Party members who put their own financial gain ahead of China's National Interests.
Jul 17, 2009 Keeping clear of Garbage The sentiments expressed in this article are those of the original author. Personally I find it more satisfying to just yell obscenities.
Jun 30, 2009 Theodore Roosevelt on Immigration I received this email from an Australian. It is about an American, but the lesson it seeks to teach is one that needs to be learned by both Australians and Americans.
Jun 1, 2009 Bullying at School. The Law of unintended consequences dictates that when you try to change or fix something that already works, something unforseen will happen. Our whole society is suffering in so many ways from the law of unintended consequences. It will take guts to fix society up, but it can be done.
Apr 29, 2009 Obama Should Listen to Caroline Glick It is refreshing to read a new perspective on Israel's political allegiances in the Middle East. Perhaps President Obama should start paying attention to reality rather than follow ideological dreams.
Apr 23, 2009 Why I Love Living in China If you happen to be a Chinese or Foreign Boss on the East Coast of China looking to hire someone who really can communicate with foreigners in normative English, then Jerry is your man.
Apr 18, 2009 Global Warming effect on Antarctica ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap
Apr 17, 2009 United Nations Farce: Durban II I think it is time for us to realise that there is something going on in the United Nations that is working within an agenda far removed from Democratic Principles and Personal Freedoms that we expect.
Apr 16, 2009 Free Speech is a Myth! I doubt that there are many westerners who would consider that China is a truly free and open country, where people can think and act as they please. Generally speaking however, it actually is a place where one is free to think and say what one pleases, except that is, when what you say runs contrary to the 'official and sanctioned opinion'.
Apr 12, 2009 Everyone is hurting! I won't bore you with the details, because it would only result in a backlash of accusations that I am racist and politically incorrect, but suffice it to say, I have not been a happy chappy.
Apr 4, 2009 Fact! Research Proves Global Warming! Science, my friends is our friend. It simply seeks out the truth. Scientific Researchers are constantly discovering new and marvellous things about our universe, and about our own selves.
Apr 3, 2009 Stop Knocking President Obama! So far I have had two sets of relatives in the various Americas contact me. One lot turn out to be residing in Hawaii, and another lot live in Mexico.
Apr 2, 2009 Battling Feminist Stereotypes. Notice the line: The amount of these cases will continue to grow each year until societal norms maintain that this is not rare behavior.
Apr 1, 2009 Brilliant Media Reporting? Received in an email from Willem of South Africa. No original source quoted. Some fine examples of brilliant minds at work in the Media.
Mar 29, 2009 Homos, Homosexuals, Homo Sapiens and Homo Erectus How many different types of Homos are there? These are some of the important questions that one finds oneself thinking about. But 'why is it' you ask, 'that one is thinking about 'Homos' at all? Well I will tell you!
Mar 21, 2009 Political Correctness: 21st Century Religion But when PC becomes Lord of your life; when friendships are determined by a person's acknowledgement of and conversion to the faith, then you really are a sick puppy!
Feb 23, 2009 Blood, Guts, Glory and Virgins To surrender their power and ideology would destroy them. It would make of them 'ordinary citizens' in 9-5 jobs. B-O-R-I-N-G!
Jan 18, 2009 Izzy: At a Time Like This - Don't Make Trouble! For both Muslim and Evangelical Christian, the Messiah will come when Armageddon's battle is fought on Israel's soil.
Jan 16, 2009 Media and Misinformation I received an email today about a very important topic: The US Supreme Court desire to remove all crosses from Feberal Property. It was an interesting email and well presented and argued. Fortunately it was false
Jan 14, 2009 The Children of Palestine "Nineteen children killed and 52 injured last night. I would hope that would motivate those who can help." - John Ging, director of operations in Gaza for the United Nations Refugee and Works Agency
Jan 6, 2009 Israel's Disproportionate Response in Gaza: 2009 But as for the bleeding hearts who cry over the humanitarian crisis, they had fair warning of what was going to happen. It was recorded in Jerusalem Post Feb 28th 2008 and entitled: "Israel prepares for assault on Gaza".
Jan 3, 2009 Domestic Violence: To Whom do you Turn? It is very hard for people to turn their back on a lifetime of ideas and customs. No less hard for the Chinese than the Politically Correct! Just because something is acceptable within your society; that does not make it right!
Jan 2, 2009 U.S. Told Hitler Where and When They Would Strike Can you believe it? The U.S. State Department informed Hitler in advance of where and when they would bomb Germany. They even sent Medical Supplies to assist German Hospitals to care for their wounded.

Whilst there have been many attempts to solve the chronological riddle of the Bible's synchronisms of reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah and their synchronism with other Ancient Near Eastern Nations, no other research is based on a simple mathematical formula which could, if it is incorrect, be disproved easily. To date, no one has been able to dismiss the mathematical results of this research.
