It doesn't make sense. Any of it. "Professing to be wise, they have become fools." What more is there to say except Maranatha!

Got to keep in mind that Though we live in this world, we are not a part of it.

It seems that these days if something makes sense, you must wonder if you've missed something.

Great work, James. One of the wonderful memes that has come across my desk in these Covid scam days is this:

"When you understand that they're goal is to confuse you, then you will no longer be confused!"

This meme is useful for making sense of the excellent list of non-sense you articulated.

I've always wondered why the tax payer, that's um you and me, is forced to pay licence fees for all the garbage movies and documentaries, and vile sexual informationals through the SBS, and the useless and extreme left-wing garbage television on the ABC. I say, remove all the subchannels of the ABC and especially the SBS, all the radio channels and social media channels and get back to just the national broadcaster of truth through a radio channel and a tv channel. We simply can't afford, not should we pay for, billions of dollars of garbage.

I have not taken advantage of "MY ABC" since they discontinued the Argonauts Club except when in Port Hedland in 1976 when there was only only one TV channel and not much of that either . Friday nights at 7 pm was a gripping docudrama called "Green Fingers and such gripping ,attention grabbing advice on "How to build a compost heap "and other such stuff gauranteed to keep the pubs full until closing time .

Make them all subscriber only. A news service and rural information service only funded by taxpayers.

Don't forget NITV, the most racists shows and opinions expressed in Australia, all paid for by you and me.

If any Australian of any race said the types of things broadcast by this channel then the govt racist bodies would be charging and jailing them.

So much to take in. It needs a soundtrack… might I suggest Talking Heads with “stop making sense”.

It’s all too much James. Great to have you back.
