https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/is-this-the-end-of-europe-the-west Something remarkable & strange has happened inside the modern Labour / Green & Democratic Parties in the Western Nations across the globe simultaneously. It has become the political home of four ideologies that, on paper, ought to despise one another: Socialism. Islamism. Globalism. And LGBTQ activism. It’s the sort of alliance that makes less sense than a vegan barbecue hosted by a butcher. These movements disagree on religion, sexuality, economics, borders and even the nature of freedom itself. If you locked their philosophers in a room together, you’d soon need riot police. And yet, in modern politics, they march together with astonishing consistency. Why? Because politics isn’t always built on shared beliefs. Sometimes it’s built on shared enemies. And these four movements have discovered they all object to roughly the same thing — Christianity. Call it coincidence if you like. I’d call it a coalition. Socialism Take socialism. Karl Marx didn’t merely dislike capitalism. He regarded religion as “the opium of the people” and saw the family as another institution preserving unequal power. The goal wasn’t to redistribute wealth so much as to redistribute authority. Modern Left politicians aren’t quoting Marx over breakfast. I don’t think, anyway. But the instinct survives. Whenever society encounters a problem, Left’s first answer is rarely stronger families, healthier communities or more resilient local institutions. It’s another department. Another regulator. Another taxpayer-funded program. Another government agency explaining why your children now belong to a “stakeholder community”. Childcare, education, speech regulation, workplace culture — even family life itself gradually becomes something administered by Canberra. Government grows. Everything else shrinks. Globalism Then there’s globalism. Now, before anyone hyperventilates, international trade has been wonderful for trade & prosperity. Selling things to the world is generally preferable to invading it. But modern globalism goes much further than commerce. It quietly encourages people to think of themselves less as citizens of an sovereign nation and more as interchangeable citizens of the planet. Borders become awkward inconveniences. National identity becomes vaguely embarrassing. International bodies acquire moral authority that elected governments increasingly feel obliged to obey. The assumption shifts from “What do we as "the people" want?” to “What does the international community expect?” To conservatives, that’s not progress. It’s democracy outsourcing itself. LGBTQ activism Then we arrive at LGBTQ activism. Notice the debate has changed. Most people settled long ago that every individual deserves dignity and equal protection under the law. That isn’t where today’s arguments lie. The new expectation is affirmation. And so from schools and churches to sporting clubs and businesses – everyone is increasingly expected not merely to tolerate contested ideas about sex and gender, but to actively celebrate them. Disagreement itself becomes evidence of discrimination. Traditional Christian teaching, once simply another moral viewpoint, increasingly finds itself treated as something requiring correction rather than conversation. Islamism And finally, we get to Islamism — that political ideology that seeks to organise society according to Islamic political principles, as opposed to liberal democratic ones. Many conservatives argue Western governments have become oddly reluctant to confront Islamist extremism with anything approaching confidence. When rallies glorify terrorist organisations, demonise Jews and attack liberal democratic values… official courage seems to develop an unfortunate scheduling conflict. But here’s where things become genuinely fascinating… Islamists and LGBTQ activists profoundly disagree about sexuality. Socialists have historically opposed organised religion. Globalists celebrate open societies while many Islamists seek religious particularism. None of these ‘isms’ are natural allies. Rather, they’re political flatmates who’d normally fight over everything from theology to pronouns. Yet they repeatedly end up standing on the same side because they all identify the same obstacle — the traditional West, with its love of the family and the nation state, all informed by Christianity. It’s that shared hatred of Western culture that binds these four isms together. Four Isms and the left wing woke political parties in the West And finally, we come to the vehicle by which these four ideologies can travel together wrecking havoc through our neighbourhood… this is where the new radical left political Parties becomes significant. Because they have increasingly become the institution where these currents converge. A larger state. Higher immigration. Closer alignment with international institutions. Expanding activist definitions of rights. Growing scepticism toward religious exemptions. Increasing discomfort with overt patriotism. Greater willingness to accommodate progressive identity politics rather than to defend the West’s Christian inheritance. I could go on. Politicians call all of the above compassionate, inclusive and modern. I would argue it’s anything but. What we see isn’t a progressive, enlightened government, but a body — influenced by radicals — steadily shifting away from families, churches, local communities and sovereign nations. The destination is not difficult to discern. Larger and larger bureaucracies, with greater influence being given to activist groups, tribunals and international organisations. No single policy changes a nation overnight. Civilisations almost never collapse in a spectacular explosion. They drift. One curriculum revision. One tribunal ruling. One speech code. One bureaucracy. One religious freedom quietly narrowed while another ideology gains fresh legal protection. Individually, each change seems almost too small to notice. Collectively, they amount to something much larger. Not simply a different government. A different country. That’s why the defining political argument over the next generation won’t be about tax brackets or interest rates. It will be about whether the Western nations remain nations shaped primarily by Christianity, liberal democracy and national sovereignty… … or whether the unlikely coalition now gathering beneath the radical Left’s banner succeeds in replacing that inheritance with something entirely new. And if you cast your eye across the West, you’ll see this same drama is being played out right across the world.

We speak this in love because truth matters. Dr. Hugh Ross and some other theologians teach that Noah's Flood was "universal but not global." Yet Scripture repeatedly describes a worldwide catastrophe: • "All the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered." (Genesis 7:19) • "The mountains were covered." (Genesis 7:20) • "Every living substance was destroyed." (Genesis 7:23) • "The waters were on the face of the whole earth." (Genesis 8:9) If the Flood was merely local, why build an Ark? Why spend decades constructing a massive vessel to preserve animals when Noah could have simply migrated out of the region? The Ark only makes sense if the judgment was global. The issue is not whether these men are sincere. The issue is whether their interpretation agrees with what God's Word plainly says. When human ideas conflict with Scripture, Christians should trust Scripture. "Let God be true, but every man a liar." Romans 3:4

Why is diesel so much more expensive than petrol when both come out of a barrel of crude oil. There seems to be no logical reason & the war with Iran is not a valid excuse, as only 20% of worldwide oil supply goes through the Straight of Hormuz. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1628141728985328 So what is going on? Is there more behind this? Is this the creation of a crises like the Covid 'Plandemic"? Is it push the so-called renewable energy & EV's? Is to to come to the 2030 goal of the unelected elites & corrupt politicians? "You own nothing & be happy" Diesel is again hitting record prices. Most people see that number and think about truck drivers. I see the grocery store. Think about how much of your life moves on diesel. The tractor preparing the field. The equipment harvesting the crop. The truck carrying it to processing. Another truck carrying it to a distribution centre. Another truck delivering it to your grocery store. That litre of diesel gets buried somewhere in the price of almost everything you buy. Then I think about Revelation 6. "When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand." Revelation 6:5 Then comes the frightening part. "And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; ” Revelation 6:6 That denarius, was roughly a day’s wage in the Roman world. John is describing a time when a man can work all day just to afford enough basic food to survive. I’m not telling you expensive diesel today is the third seal of Revelation. It isn’t. What we’re watching does show us how quickly the machinery behind modern civilization can become expensive. Transportation gets more expensive, farming gets more expensive, shipping gets more expensive, and eventually that pressure reaches your dinner table. We read Revelation and sometimes picture economic conditions so extreme that they’re almost impossible to imagine. Look at the system we already live in. Your food can travel hundreds or thousands of miles before it ever reaches your plate. Fuel touches nearly every step along the way. Today people are shocked by what it costs to fill a diesel tank. Revelation describes a day when people will be shocked by what it costs to eat. John wrote about it almost 2,000 years ago. Both Diesel and Gasoline are a by-product of refining crude oil. Kerosene, oil, jet fuel, propane, butane ect. Are all by-products of refining crude oil. Oil resides deep within the earth in pockets between layers of overburden above, and hard bedrock below. Oil can be found globally. It's under deserts and beneath vast oceans. Oil is essentially carbon. Oil is the left over carbon from natural species from long before, most likely as a result from the flood of Noah. The engine in your vehicle is exploding leftover organic bits at a near perfect air to fuel ratio, as you drive to the grocery store. So after all looking at this & knowing that there is plenty of oil being drilled & plenty reserves, why is this happening?

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1559451438718468 They claim feeding Chemical additives to cows is safe......., but what goes into food, goes into the digestive system, goes into the blood stream of the animal, which in turn goes as result into meat & milk. Authorities claim that is broken down before it actually goes into the meat & milk. I am sorry but if this is stated by certain authorities, I have a tendency to believe the opposite lately. (Remember Covid?) *First of all is this another scam or scheme to push people toward artificial meat, hurt farmers in the process & reduce the world population: https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/food-health-take-care-of-the-temple-of-the-holy-spirit https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/bill-gates-lab-grown-meat-gets-approved *Secondly this whole premise & effort is based on the false narrative & un-proven science of the so called "Climate Change" & reducing carbon & CO2 emissions: https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/all-you-need-to-know-about-climate-change What is Bovaer? Bovaer, is a methane-reducing cattle feed additive whose active chemical ingredient is 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP). In Australia, Bovaer is approved for commercial use and has been integrated by certain beef producers (such as suppliers for Coles' "carbon-neutral" beef line), though its adoption in the Australian dairy industry remains limited due to cost and logistics. While regulatory bodies like Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) maintain that Bovaer is safe for cattle and human consumers, the additive has sparked considerable controversy regarding health and handling risks. 1. Risks to Human Handlers (The Primary Regulatory Warning) The most concrete, scientifically backed safety warnings regarding Bovaer do not apply to the cattle or the consumers eating the meat, but rather to the farm workers who handle the raw powder. In its concentrated form, the active ingredient 3-NOP poses the following risks: · Skin and Eye Irritation: It is classified as corrosive to the eyes and irritating to the skin upon direct contact. · Inhalation Hazard: It can be harmful if the dust is inhaled during the mixing process. · Reproductive Toxicity at High Doses: Laboratory studies on rats using massive, concentrated doses (far beyond what a human would naturally encounter) indicated potential impacts on male fertility. Because of this, agricultural workers are strictly advised to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and goggles, when handling the product. 2. Emerging Concerns and Anecdotal Reports in Cattle On paper and in over 70 peer-reviewed trials, a quarter-teaspoon daily dose of Bovaer has been shown to safely break down in a cow's rumen within 30 minutes without adverse health effects. However, a major real-world backlash emerged following mandatory rollouts in Europe: The Danish Controversy: In late 2025, after Denmark mandated the use of methane inhibitors for dairy herds, a subset of Danish farmers reported that their cows suffered from fevers, severe diarrhea, decreased appetite, drops in milk yield, and increased somatic cell counts (a sign of mastitis). Some isolated deaths were also alleged. The Investigation: While the manufacturer (dsm-firmenich) and global safety agencies state these symptoms are unlinked or due to other structural farm management issues, Danish authorities implemented welfare exemptions allowing worried farmers to stop using the product while the claims are investigated. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1559451438718468

One of the signs that is so prevalent today, is that truth in every sphere of life is being deteriorated & attacked. In medicine, science, politics, education, history & last but not least in the churches. I have always been aware of this to a certain degree thanks to descending from a line of hard working farmers & my parents & grand parents teaching me what happened during the second World War in Europe & last but not least working & living for around 7 years in Eastern Europe before the fall of the Berlin Wall & former Soviet Union. But during the the COVID "plandemic" all my alarm bells went off. By the grace of God, combined with a solid knowledge of History & a healthy dose of suspicion towards government, due to my background, we as pastors & our church resisted the COVID Mandates in every way possible. Since then we are even more awake (not woke), investigating, writing & preaching about how almost every aspects of life (as listed below) is infiltrated with lies, corruption, wokeness, Marxism & control by unelected bureaucrats & so-called elites. It is not pretty & hard to accept how bad & corrupt the world around us has really become, specially concerning the future for our children & grand-children. But once you see, this you can't unsee this & under a deep conviction that the time is short, we are trying to warn as many people, believers & unbelievers as possible. We know from the prophetic Scriptures that this is all going to happen & that we are waiting for the blessed hope, the Rapture, but we still need to stand in faith & fight back & occupy till He comes. This is one of the main reasons I started this "tab" on our church website. You can find articles, posts & blogs just about any topic by typing in your desired subject in the search bracket. You can find topics & many others like: *Israel & antisemitism, Gaza & Hamas, *Israel replacement "theology," *Rapture & second coming, *Socialism, Marxism, Communism & atheism, *Education, Schools & Universities *Medical & pharmaceutical, *Islam & Gaza, *Politics, elections & voting *Climate change & CO2 *True & false church *Covid & vaccinations, *Europe & the West, *Calvinism exposed, *Women in ministry, *False & true doctrines, *Prayer & Faith *History & crusades *Food & health, *Once saved always saved & hyper / cheap grace, *Marriage & sexual perversions & *General uplifting faith building posts on various doctrinal & faith issues.

https://youtu.be/GbKABvJby3E There is so much biased news reporting on this conflict from the MSM, that sadly even many Christians are misinformed. Some of the worst offenders are the BBC & CNN. But sadly the Australian Media besides Sky News is also extremely negative & biased towards Israel. This interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef by Douglas Murray is excellent & gives a first hand account of what really is going on & that the problem runs much deeper: The problem is with this religion of hate that glorifies death & killing of people simply because they are not Muslim & especially if they are Jews or Christians. First they go after the "Saturday" people, then the "Sunday" people & then the "West" in general. The Jewish people are the "Canary in the coalmine" so to speak. Don't forget that the Islamic extremists hate Israel, America & the West with a passion. Sadly among the western nations, including Australia are many naive (especially among university educated) people, or should I say evil, sympathising with Islam & Hamas.

One 17-year-old hostage called her mother from Gaza: “Mum, they’re going to rape me.” Her testimony is one of 430 gathered by the Civil Commission as evidence of what it calls kinocide: Hamas’s deliberate weaponization of family bonds to maximise suffering. A two-year independent investigation has concluded that Hamas and its collaborators used rape, gang rape, sexual torture and the deliberate destruction of families as systematic weapons of war on October 7, 2023, and throughout the months of hostage captivity in Gaza that followed. The Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas Against Women and Children released its 298-page report this week, titled Silenced No More: Sexual Terror Unveiled: The Untold Atrocities of October 7 and Against Hostages in Captivity. Led by Dr Cochav Elkayam-Levy — a 2024 Israel Prize laureate and the Commission’s founding chair — the report is the most comprehensive evidentiary record yet assembled of the sexual atrocities of October 7. The report’s central conclusion is unequivocal: sexual violence was “systematic, widespread, and integral” to the October 7 attacks and their aftermath. “Sexual violence was not incidental — it is systematic, deliberate, and embedded in the attack itself,” Dr Elkayam-Levy said. “Documenting these crimes is essential to give voice to victims and ensure their stories are not erased.” The Commission identified thirteen recurring patterns of sexual violence across multiple sites — kibbutzim, the Nova Music Festival grounds and adjacent Route 232, military bases, roadsides and captivity in Gaza. They include rape and gang rape, sexual torture and mutilation, forced nudity, executions linked to sexual violence, post-mortem sexual abuse, sexual assaults carried out in front of family members, and the filming and social media dissemination of atrocities in real time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSR93pnmtYw&t=8s The Evidence In compiling the report, investigators reviewed more than 10,000 photographs and video segments — including more than 1,800 cumulative hours of visual material — and conducted over 430 interviews with survivors, witnesses, released hostages, experts and family members. In addition to Israeli nationals, 52 other nationalities were represented among the victims. Because the Commission began collecting evidence immediately after the attacks, its archive preserves footage and communications that were later removed or lost from public platforms. Nova survivor Raz Cohen witnessed the rape and murder of a woman during the attack. “I saw them raping her,” he told investigators. “While they were raping her, we heard her screaming. Then they murdered her. And then they raped her again, even after she was no longer moving.” Another Nova survivor, Darin Komarov, described listening from hiding as a woman was gang raped nearby. “I heard one rape where they were passing her around,” she said. “She was probably injured, judging by her screams — screams you have never heard anywhere. It’s between silence and screams, between pain and wanting to die.” Komarov described hearing each perpetrator call the next forward. “And after they finished, they shot her.” A third survivor, Tali Biner, described the scene after the attack. “Women with their legs spread open,” she told investigators. “There wasn’t a single body that just ‘died normally’. Every single one had gone through torture… From the fact that they had no underwear. From injuries in the lower areas.” Thirteen Patterns of Systematic Terror The report’s Key Findings section details all thirteen patterns of sexual violence: rape and gang rape sexual torture, including intentional burning and mutilation deliberate shootings to the head, face and genital area killings and executions committed in conjunction with sexual violence post-mortem sexual abuse, humiliation and desecration of bodies forced nudity and exposure handcuffing, binding and restraint of victims public displaying and parading of women and children abduction of mothers and children together sexual violence inflicted in the presence of family members filming and digital dissemination of atrocities via social media threats of forced marriage rape and other forms of sexual violence against boys and men The Commission notes that women and girls constituted the majority of victims, but found a “discernible pattern” of boys and men subjected to extreme forms of sexual violence, sexual torture and humiliation, including rape, forced nudity, mutilation and targeted burning of genitals. Men, women and children, including “the elderly and the very young,” suffered ongoing sexual violence, threats of rape and psychological terror throughout captivity. The foreword records that parents were murdered in front of their children, and siblings assaulted in front of one another. Kinocide: Families as Instruments of Terror The Commission introduced a new legal concept to describe a defining pattern in the attack: kinocide. They used the term to refer to the deliberate weaponisation of family bonds — targeting parents and children together, inflicting sexual violence in front of relatives, and in at least one documented case, coercing family members into acts of sexual violence against one another. “We conceptualise this pattern as kinocide,” Dr Elkayam-Levy wrote in the report’s preface: “the deliberate and systematic torture of families and weaponization of familial bonds through the destruction and exploitation of family relationships in order to maximise suffering.” Sexual violence continued against hostages — women, men and minors — throughout months of captivity in Gaza. Former hostage Amit Soussana, held alone and chained by her ankles, described her assault in detail. “He forced me to go to the shower and entered the room, pointed his gun at me. He was breathing heavily and had a monstrous, beast-like face. He meticulously planned his assault.” When it was over, she was forbidden to cry. “You have to face it all alone. And not only that — you also have to be nice to him.” Male hostages were also subjected to sexual violence. One anonymous survivor, referred to in the report as “D.”, described gang rape at the Nova festival. “They genuinely enjoyed it. They laughed, they were really pleased… It felt like all boundaries were broken.” Armed groups recorded acts of abuse, humiliation and murder, then circulated the footage through social media and victims’ own digital accounts. In multiple cases, families first learned of their loved ones’ fate through footage the perpetrators sent them. Ricarda Louk, mother of Shani Louk — whose body was paraded through Gaza in the back of a ute — said of the perpetrators: “They filmed everything. They wanted the world to see what they did to her.” Agam Goldstein-Almog, taken hostage at age 17, later described the lasting effect of captivity: “It’s these little things that break you. When you have no control over your body and no control over how to take care of your body.” The Case for Accountability Based on the evidentiary record, the Commission concludes Hamas and its collaborators committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal acts under international law. It further identifies conduct amounting to torture, sexual slavery, persecution and terrorism-linked sexual violence. The report outlines a legal roadmap for prosecution, identifying pathways of accountability for perpetrators, those who planned and ordered the crimes, and actors who amplified the violence online. The Commission also calls for specialised prosecutorial mechanisms and coordinated international action. Its joint recommendations to Israel and the international community include: investigating and prosecuting sexual crimes within domestic counterterrorism frameworks targeted sanctions — including asset freezes and travel bans — against those responsible for carrying out or materially supporting the attack formal institutional recognition of the report’s findings as part of the historical record reparations and psychosocial support for survivors and their families active measures to counter denial, minimisation or politicisation of the crimes The report acknowledges evidentiary challenges, including the fact that many victims did not survive, while others remain in captivity or carry trauma that inhibits their testimony. But the archive — built from materials collected in the immediate aftermath of October 7 — preserves what might otherwise have vanished. “Societies are judged by the truths they are willing to confront,” Dr Elkayam-Levy wrote. “This report is part of that choice: a refusal to look away, and an insistence that what happened on October 7th, and in captivity thereafter, be carried forward not as history alone, but as a persistent demand for justice.”

https://youtu.be/GbKABvJby3E I love this one from Douglas Murray. I am so fed up with the Gaza supporting crowd in the West & their hypocritical & biased "outrage." The kindest & most polite wording for these folks I can come up with is: "Useful idiots" https://www.facebook.com/reel/4407339472870868

A newly published UNICEF-led survey revealed that the levels of malnutrition in children are lower or similar to those registered before the Israel-Hamas war, with Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon saying on Thursday that it was proof that the “false narrative against Israel” of there being a famine in the Gaza Strip is falling apart. “Once again, facts prevail over fiction,” Danon said. “UN bodies are acknowledging that the false narrative against Israel is falling apart.” “Israel is not starving children. Israel is fighting Hamas terrorism, while Hamas uses civilians in Gaza as human shields. Those who rushed to accuse Israel must now be held accountable for spreading lies.” The nutrition survey, which was coordinated by the UNICEF, showed that children in Gaza have low levels of acute malnutrition. Using internationally recognized World Health Organization (WHO) methodology, researchers measured children’s weight, height, and mid-upper-arm circumference to assess acute malnutrition using the Weight-for-Height Z-score (WHZ). According to the results of the survey, acute malnutrition rates across Gaza ranged between 0.2% and 0.8%. These are levels comparable to or below those recorded in Gaza prior to the Israel-Hamas War, and are significantly lower than those reported in neighboring countries, including Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. “In other words,” the Foreign Ministry, in its own statement to X/Twitter, added, “There is no famine in Gaza.” “Malnutrition is not only significantly below the critical values – it is exceptionally low in regional comparison. Anyone who is still open to arguments can look at the empirical data themselves.” Quick Facts Since Oct. 7, over 1,600 Israelis (968 soldiers) have been killed, and 6,424 IDF soldiers wounded since the start of the war. On Oct. 7, 2023, one day after the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, thousands of Hamas gunmen invaded southern Israel, brutally murdering 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping 251 to the Gaza Strip. On Oct. 8, 2023, the Israel Security Cabinet voted to officially declare war for the first time since the 1973 Yom Kippur War. On Oct. 27, 2023, the IDF began its Ground Operation in Northern Gaza Between October 7th, 2023, and March 31, 2024, the IDF made approximately 100,000 phone calls, dropped 9.3 million leaflets, sent 15.5 million text messages, and 17 million voice recordings in efforts to get Gazan civilians out of harm’s way during military operations. Between October 7th, 2023, and August 18, 2025, Israel has allowed and facilitated the entry of over 1.9 million tons of aid into Gaza. On June 13th, 2025, the 12 Day War began between Israel and the Iranian regime. Israel conducted massive airstrikes targeting Iran’s military infrastructure and leadership, weapons stockpiles, and nuclear scientists—as the regime rained ballistic missiles down, targeting locations of Israel’s largest civilian populations. On June 22, 2025, under the orders of President Trump, B2 Bombers dropped bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s nuclear facilities, thwarting the imminent danger of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. On October 10th, 2025, a fragile ceasefire agreement, brokered by the Trump Administration, came into effect between Israel and Hamas. On January 27, 2026, after numerous delays, the body of the last remaining Israeli hostage in the Gaza Strip was returned to Israel. On February 28th, 2026, the United States launched a large-scale joint military operation against the Iranian Regime, beginning with the elimination of the nation’s Supreme Leader.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒. Every time someone trots out the Crusades to lecture Christians or the West, they leave out four centuries of history. I'm putting it back on the record. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 Muhammad died in 632. Within three years, Muslim armies had taken Damascus (635). The next year, Antioch (636). The year after that, the entire Holy Land (637) — the spiritual center of Christendom, gone. Armenia became the first Christian nation fully conquered (639). Egypt, the Coptic Christian power, fell two years later (641). By 650, Muslim forces had reached southern Italy and Cyprus, taking thousands of captives as "𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴" and "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴." Then came Spain — Muslim armies crossed from North Africa in 711 and overran most of Iberia by 715. In roughly 80 years, Christianity lost the Middle East, North Africa, and most of the Iberian Peninsula. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 — 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲 This was not exploration. This was conquest. In 717, Muslim forces besieged Constantinople itself — the capital of Eastern Christendom. The siege lasted a year before they were repelled. Had it succeeded, the path into Europe would have been wide open. In 730, they invaded France. Charles Martel stopped them at Tours. In 792, the ruler of Al-Andalus called for a second invasion of France. Repelled. In 848, a third invasion of France. Repelled again. In 827, Muslims invaded Sicily and Italy, persecuting monks and pillaging Christian communities. Sicily would remain under Islamic rule for 250 years. In 846, they invaded Rome itself and forced the Pope to pay tribute. By 909, they had taken Sardinia. This was relentless, coordinated, and existential.

Christian Europe owes no apology for resisting its own subjugation. The lie begins with a cropped photograph of history. We are shown the Crusades, but not the centuries before them. We are shown Christian armies marching east, but not Islamic armies smashing west. We are told to mourn Muslim victimhood while the conquered Christian world — Syria, Egypt, North Africa, the Holy Land, Spain, and parts of Anatolia — is quietly dragged offstage, as if these were misplaced during a clerical error. This is inversion of the actual history. Before the Crusades began in 1095, Islamic conquest had already torn through vast Christian territories by force of arms. These were not peaceful transfers. They were religious imperial campaigns of siege, slaughter, plunder, enslavement, taxation, subordination, and the replacement of Christian sovereignty with Islamic rule. As the map above illustrates, by the time Christian Europe mounted its counteroffensive, Islamic forces had already established Al-Andalus in Spain, raided Rome itself, conquered key Christian heartlands across the Middle East and North Africa, and continued pressing into Europe for centuries afterward. The Crusades were brutal. No honest account denies that. But they were not the opening crime. They were a late, violent, religiously charged counterstroke after Islamic expansion had already carved deep into the Christian world. The modern narrative wants history to begin when Europe finally answered back. It wants us to forget the conquest, the conquered, the jizya, the dhimmi system, the sword at the throat — and remember only the moment Christian Europe stopped retreating. That is not moral clarity. That is fraud. The conquered non-Muslim under Islamic power was not welcomed into equality. He was ordered into submission: convert, pay the jizya tax in humiliated submission, accept dhimmi inferiority, flee, be enslaved, or die resisting. This was not tolerance. Tolerance does not arrive with cavalry, seize your city, tax your unbelief, and call your survival mercy. The hadith literature reinforces the doctrinal core: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” This matters because the same inversion now paralyzes Western judgment. Every time someone says, “Look what Christians did to Muslims during the Crusades,” the answer is simple: start the story where the story actually starts. Start with Islamic conquest. Start with Christian lands taken by Islamic armies. Start before 1095. Spain was conquered in 711. Rome was raided in 846, with Arab forces sacking Old St. Peter’s and St. Paul Outside the Walls, prompting Pope Leo IV to build the Leonine Wall for protection. Vienna faced major Ottoman sieges in 1529 and 1683, both determined bids to break deeper into Central Europe. For centuries, Barbary corsairs from North Africa raided European coasts, capturing and enslaving Christian Europeans across the Mediterranean. Spare us the fairy tale. Islamic conquest was not the victim of Christian aggression. It was the aggression that Christian Europe eventually resisted. The Crusades can, and should, be condemned where they were savage or excessive. But condemning Christian brutality does not require lying about Islamic brutality or pretending the aggressor was the innocent party. This inversion has modern consequences. It has worked so thoroughly that even the British Crown now often sounds less like the guardian of a Christian inheritance than the curator of a grievance exhibit. King Charles III has spent decades praising Islam and framing relations in the language of interfaith understanding. In historical context, it looks like a civilization apologizing for surviving. The King does not owe Islam repayment for the Crusades. Europe does not owe apology for refusing its own subjugation. Yet the modern ritual continues. Look at the image above: the New Magi — Keir Starmer, King Charles III, and Pope Leo XIV — kneeling with chests of “Colonial Guilt,” “Empire Restitution,” and “Moral Reparations,” offering them to a seated Islamic figure. False historical guilt turned into a gift-bearing ceremony. The Vatican itself supplies a particularly stark symbol. After the 846 raid on Rome, Pope Leo IV built defensive walls. Today, the Vatican accommodates Islamic prayer within those same protected boundaries. One pope built walls because Islamic raiders reached the tomb of Peter. Modern leadership offers hospitality and calls it dialogue. Symbols matter. Memory matters. This is institutional amnesia dressed as virtue. The deception is not harmless. It functions as moral disarmament. The West is trained to feel guilty for resisting, to soften its borders, to treat Islamic political expansion as grievance rather than conquest. The lie about the Crusades becomes useful precisely because it disarms the instinct for survival. This pattern extends beyond medieval history. Documents like the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 “Explanatory Memorandum” describe a “civilization-jihadist process” aimed at destroying Western civilization from within. Patrons like Qatar continue to back related networks. The sword has simply learned new language. There is no Crusade debt. There is no Western obligation to apologize for resisting Islamic conquest. The record runs the other way: Islamic forces advanced, conquered, raided, enslaved, and subordinated. The Crusades were brutal, but they were not the beginning of the story. They were the delayed answer to a conquest already centuries old. The next time someone tries to shame you with the lie of Islamic victimhood during the Crusades, reject the entire frame. Tell them the story starts earlier. Tell them Spain was conquered. Tell them Rome was attacked. Tell them Vienna was besieged. Tell them Europeans were enslaved. Tell them the Vatican walls were built for a reason. Now you know the history, and you can defend yourself without apology. This essay is meant to arm people against historical manipulation, moral blackmail, and the lie that Western civilization owes apology for resisting conquest. Share it with anyone who has been taught only the cropped version of the story. In 732 AD, MusIim armies entered France after they had already conquered Spain completely. French forces attempted to stop the invasion. At the front stood Charles Martel of France. He blocked them near the town of Tours. The battle was brutal—sword against sword. The MusIim commander was kiIIed in the fight. The invaders retreated and fled France. That battle stopped Islam from spreading further into Europe. But today, the foolish politicians are allowing what some men prevented with their bl00d. Wake Up People, Islam Is Not Compatible With The World. Fast Facts; The Christian Crusades were launched after 400 years of Muslims invading, attacking and killing Christians However, progressives and educators paint the Christian crusades as unprovoked Christian violence. Violent Islamic conquests across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe were carried out for more than 400 years before the First Crusade, when Western Christians decided to fight back against the m*slims who were killing them, then raping their women. Historians say Muslims spent hundreds of years engaging in unprovoked Islamic expansion and aggression against Christians and the Crusades were a defensive counteroffensive to reclaim sacred sites stop the killing of Christians. Muslims killed about 270 million non-Muslims from Islamic expansions across 1,400 years. This includes direct killings in battles, massacres, enslavements leading to death, famines from disrupted societies, and related persecutions - not just the initial 400 years. For the early Arab conquests (632-750), which covered the Middle East, North Africa, Persia, and parts of Europe and Central Asia, scholars estimate violent deaths from battles and sieges of over 1 million. Experts say the Christian Crusades were not the start of conflict but a long-delayed reaction after repeated invasions, church destructions, enslavements, killings, rape and tribute demands. When cities were captured, nearly 100% of the population was killed, and survivors were taken as sex slaves. For example, during the siege of Syracuse, which fell in 878, the city's population plummeted from around 70,000 to just 3,000 survivors, who were taken as slaves. Timeline: 635: Christian city of Damascus captured 636: Christian city of Antioch in Syria captured 637: Jerusalem and much of the Holy Land captured 639: Armenia, the first Christian nation to fall 641: Egypt, a major Coptic Christian center, captured 650: Southern Italy and Cyprus, captured 711-715: Spain (then a Christian Visigothic kingdom) captured 827: Sicily captured Christian monks k*lled. 846: Rome attacked, m*slims destroy churches including St. Peter's, and force the Pope to pay tribute. 909: Sardinia captured 937: The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is burned, along with other churches in the city. 1009: Caliph al-Hakim orders the destruction of the Church of the Resurrection (Holy Sepulchre) in Jerusalem and imposes harsh anti-Christian measures. 1012: Muslims force conversions or death, seize property of non-Muslims, and impose harsh restrictions. 1071: Anatolia (modern Turkey) captured 1094: Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos appeals to Western Christendom for military aid against the Turkish invasions threatening the empire. 1095: Pope Urban II calls the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont in France, urging knights to aid Eastern Christians and reclaim the Holy Land. The first Crusade launches in 1096. Muslims have now infiltrated Europe, Canada, New Zealand, Australia & the US and are carrying out their jihadist terrorism through the democratic political systems and the woke left liberals who are easily fooled. Islam always has been, and always will be a violent religious political system! Muslim Armies Had Been Killing Christians for Centuries. The Crusades Were the Reckoning. Long before the First Crusade launched in 1095, Europe had already been losing ground to Islamic conquest for over four hundred years. THE CENTURIES BEFORE It started in 638, when Muslim armies took Jerusalem, one of Christianity's holiest cities. It didn't stop there. Egypt fell. All of North Africa fell. By the early 700s, even Spain had been conquered. Christian territory that had stood for centuries kept disappearing, one region at a time. THE FINAL STRAW On August 26th, 1071, the Byzantine emperor Romanos IV Diogenes led his army against Seljuk Turkish forces under Sultan Alp Arslan at the Battle of Manzikert. The battle was catastrophic. Part of Romanos's own army, made up of ethnic Turks, defected mid-battle. By nightfall, the emperor himself had been dragged in chains before the sultan who had just destroyed his army. The defeat opened the floodgates. Within decades, nearly all of Anatolia, the heartland of the Byzantine Empire for a thousand years, fell under Turkish control. Byzantine historians would later call it the empire's death blow. THE RESPONSE Weakened and desperate, Byzantine emperors began appealing to the West for military help. In 1095, Pope Urban II answered, calling on Christian Europe to take up arms and reclaim what had been lost. What followed was brutal, and it's remembered that way for good reason. But it didn't start there. It started centuries earlier, with a city called Jerusalem in the year 638 Seven Thousand Pilgrims. No Weapons. No Warning. THE JOURNEY In November 1064, seven thousand unarmed pilgrims set out from Germany for Jerusalem, led by four bishops. It was meant to be the journey of a lifetime, walking the same roads Christ had walked. THE AMBUSH On Good Friday, 1065, just outside a village called Kafar Sallam, Bedouin raiders fell on the column without warning. Survivors later described the attackers falling on them "like famished wolves." The pilgrims who could still run fled to the village and barricaded themselves inside. THE SIEGE The Bedouins surrounded the village for days. During a truce negotiation, Bishop Gunther of Bamberg reportedly knocked one of the raider leaders unconscious with his bare hands and took hostages of his own. It bought the survivors just enough time. THE RESCUE The governor of the nearby city of Ramla, a Muslim official, eventually marched out with his own soldiers and drove the raiders off, saving what remained of the pilgrimage. Those who survived finally reached Jerusalem days later. WHAT'S LEFT Thirty years after this pilgrimage, Pope Urban II stood before a crowd at Clermont and called for what would become the First Crusade. Historians still point to journeys like this one as part of what built the pressure that led there. - ALMOST 1300 YEARS AGO CHARLES “THE HAMMER” MARTEL HALTED THE EXPANSION OF ISLAM INTO EUROPE AND KEPT EUROPE CHRISTIAN - The Victory Of Medieval Frankish Forces Led By Charles Martel, Known As The Hammer, Over The Forces Of An Agressive Islam In The Battle Of Tours In 732 AD Halted The Expansion Of Islam Into Europe And Kept Europe Christian. If The Forces Of Islam Had Defeated Charles Martel And His Frankish Army At The Site Of The Current West Central French City Of Tours In 732 AD Our Modern World Would Be Quite Different Than It Is Now. Charles Martel’s 1300 Year Old Impact Is Still Being Felt Every Day In The World Of Today. Thousands Were Enslaved. The Pope Sent An Army To Get Them Back. THE CRISIS By 1113, the Balearic Islands had become one of the most notorious slave markets in the Mediterranean. Thousands of Christians captured in raids across Spain, Italy, and France were being held there. THE CALL Pope Paschal II didn't just condemn it. He authorized a full Crusade, preached in person by the Archbishop of Pisa, with one explicit goal: free the captives and shut the slave trade down for good. THE SIEGE A combined Pisan and Catalan fleet crossed the Mediterranean, took Ibiza first, then laid siege to the fortress city of Palma on Mallorca for over a year through disease, a brutal winter, and repeated attempts by the enemy to break the blockade. THE OUTCOME When the city finally fell in 1115, the Crusaders freed nearly every Christian captive being held there. The ruler of Mallorca was taken back to Pisa as a prisoner. Piracy out of the islands was crushed for a generation. WHAT'S LEFT The Crusaders weren't perfect liberators — when the city surrendered, its own population was enslaved in turn. But the core mission, freeing thousands of enslaved Christians, was real, and it worked. On May 17, 1395, an Ottoman army of roughly 40,000 soldiers under Sultan Bayezid I crossed the Danube into Wallachia, the Orthodox Christian principality located in present-day Romania. Their objective was to crush Wallachian independence, establish a vassal ruler, and clear the way for deeper Ottoman expansion into Hungary and Central Europe. Standing against them was a force of approximately 10,000 Wallachian Orthodox soldiers, farmers, and townsmen led by Prince Mircea the Elder, ruler of Wallachia from 1386 to 1418. Mircea was one of the most significant Orthodox Christian rulers in medieval Eastern Europe. Outnumbered four to one, Mircea refused to face Bayezid on open ground. Instead, he drew the Ottoman forces deep into the forested and marshy terrain of Rovine. He also scorched the land behind him, cutting the advancing Ottoman army off from food and supplies. Legend says that on the night before the battle, Mircea disguised himself as a peace emissary, approached Bayezid, and offered him safe passage if he would withdraw from Wallachia. The proud sultan refused. When the armies finally met, the dense forests and swampy ground kept the Ottoman cavalry from properly deploying. Bayezid’s forces became trapped in narrow, muddy passages while Wallachian archers fired from the trees. The fighting was intense. Bayezid’s Serbian vassals, including Prince Marko Mrnjavčević and Constantine Dragaš, were killed during the battle. The Ottoman army was broken. Sultan Bayezid I, one of the most feared warriors of his era, was driven from the battlefield. Wallachia remained a free Orthodox Christian principality and was never transformed into an Ottoman province.

https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/christians-in-australia-who-do-you-vote-for We didn’t vote them in. Let’s stop pretending we did. When a party forms government with around 34% of the primary vote, that is not a clear mandate. That means two-thirds of Australians did not choose them as their first preference. They didn’t win because most Australians wanted them. They won because the system shuffled preferences until someone was left standing. That might be legal, but don’t insult people’s intelligence by calling it consent. Australians are told, “You voted for this.” No, we didn’t. What we’re watching now isn’t representation, it’s procedure. A system where power is handed to a minority and then defended with technicalities. A system where parliament increasingly feels less like the voice of the people and more like a very expensive buy, swap, and sell marketplace. Votes traded for deals. Support exchanged for amendments. Backroom agreements while everyday Australians are locked out of the conversation. And once they’re in power, they govern like they have a blank cheque, pushing through laws, limiting debate, and acting shocked when trust collapses. Democracy isn’t just about ticking a box on election day. It’s about legitimacy. It’s about consent. It’s about the majority actually having a say. When governments rule with a third of the vote and silence dissent through procedure, people are right to question whether the system is working for them anymore. So no, don’t say “we voted them in.” We didn’t. And the more they ignore that reality, the more Australians will stop believing this system represents them at all. TV host blasts Labor over entry of ‘antisemitic’ YouTuber Sneako Sky News host Sharri Markson has criticised the Labor government over the decision to allow “antisemitic” YouTuber Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, known online as “Sneako,” into Australia. “His ideology seems to be a confused mix of Islamist extremism and Neo-Nazi,” Ms Markson said. "He's been banned from various social media platforms multiple times. These are the kinds of people the Albanese Government is letting into Australia.” https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/crime/isis-brides-return-sees-airport-scuffle-as-three-arrested-and-awaiting-charges-in-sydney-and-melbourne/news-story/bd186d70ce7f8e4f60662b28c31890e5#:~:text=ISIS%20brides%27%20return,upon%20entering%20Australia. Authorities arrested three women with links to ISIS as they arrived in Sydney and Melbourne on Thursday evening, with their return to Australia sparking dramatic scenes and an airport scuffle. Melbourne grandmother Kawsar Abbas, as well as her adult daughters Zahra and Zeinab, and former nursing student Janai Safar all landed in Australia after weeks of speculation over the timing of their return and whether they had received any assistance from the Albanese government. Ms Abbas and her daughters, who were also travelling with eight children, landed in Melbourne, while Ms Safar, who was travelling with one child, landed in Sydney. Australian Federal Police immediately swooped in to arrest three of the women upon arrival, with four officers escorting Ms Safar from her flight after it landed at just after 5:30pm. An unknown man, who was seemingly accompanying the former nursing student and her nine-year-old son, was also led off the plane by police. At around 6:40pm, two unmarked police cars, one reportedly containing Ms Safar, arrived at Mascot Police Station, where it is believed the woman was questioned. BREAKING: THREE ISIS brides arrested for slavery on arrival in Melbourne and Sydney as four women + nine children (13 total) touched down this afternoon. AFP Assistant Commissioner Stephen Nutt just confirmed at a special press conference. The charges are damning: • Kawsar Abbas and daughter Zahra Ahmad (Melbourne): enslavement, possessing a slave, using a slave, and engaging in slave trading. • Janai Safar (Sydney): entering a declared terror area and membership of a terrorist organisation. These women chose the ISIS caliphate. They married its savage fighters, raised children under the black flag, and allegedly lived in households where Yazidi women and girls were bought, sold, raped and owned as “spoils of war.” Yazidi survivors gave evidence of being held as personal slaves by their husbands. This is medieval Islamist barbarism, supremacist, violent, and totally incompatible with Australia. Albo lied when he said “if you make your bed, you lie in it” and promised no help for their return. Now they’re here. Tony Burke, whose Watson electorate is full of Muslim voters in Lakemba, has overseen the whole thing while Labor chases those votes. What’s worse is three of the children are already teenagers, brainwashed from birth to hate us and fight for the same death cult. This is national betrayal and cultural suicide. Enough is enough. Shut down radical mosques. Arrest those who support fundamental Islam. Deport non-citizens involved. Ban Muslim immigration. Australia must choose: our values or their barbarism. The rage is justified. We must act now before it’s too late. First, they came for your wallet. Now they're coming for your freedom. Right now, a Bill is moving through the Australian Parliament that should terrify every freedom-loving Aussie. It's called the ASIO Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025. It already passed the House of Representatives. The Senate is about to vote on it. What does it do? Makes ASIO's "extraordinary" coercive questioning powers PERMANENT — removing the sunset clause that's existed since 2003. Lets ASIO compel Australians, including children as young as 14, to answer questions under threat of penalty. Expands the grounds for these warrants to include vague new categories like "promotion of communal violence," which is language so loose it could mean almost anything a future government decides it means. Strips away the requirement for Parliament to review these powers every three years. The Law Council of Australia OPPOSES this Bill. They warned Parliament these powers "were never intended to be made permanent." Liberal Senator Alex Antic warned: "This Bill doesn't just extend extraordinary powers, it makes them permanent. Every Australian who values freedom under the law should be paying attention." But here's the part that should shake you to the core: Back in 2003, when these exact same powers were first introduced, one Labor MP stood up in Parliament and said this: "Its provisions potentially allow for the mistreatment of ethnic minorities, the suppression of dissent, and the detaining and investigation of wholly innocent Australians." That MP's name? Anthony Albanese. The same Anthony Albanese who is now making those powers PERMANENT. He warned us about these powers. Then he became Prime Minister. And now he's locking them in forever. This is who he is. This is what they all do. They campaign as defenders of freedom, then they hand the security state a blank cheque the moment they get the keys. Cost of living crushing your family. Mass migration changing the country without your consent. And now... permanent secret-police powers being waved through with bipartisan support, while Australians are too exhausted to notice. We don't have to wait until 2028 to get rid of this government. We can act now. We are demanding the dissolution of Parliament and an immediate federal election. NOW. Before this Bill becomes permanent law. Before the next "misinformation" push. Before there's nothing left to vote for.

The Australian newspaper is waging a war against Pauline Hanson and One Nation. Why? Because it wants to protect the system. And that system requires the Liberal Party as the defender of the old liberal economic order. Week after week. Article after article. Warning after warning. One Nation is dangerous. One Nation is chaotic. One Nation doesn’t understand finance. You know what they never write? Why are millions of Australians moving toward One Nation in the first place? Here’s why they won’t ask that question. The Australian can pressure the Liberal Party. It can shape Liberal thinking. Liberal MPs read it. Liberal staffers read it. Liberal leaders still pick up the phone when it calls. But Pauline Hanson doesn’t answer to them. One Nation doesn’t need their approval. And that drives them absolutely mad. For 40 years The Australian has backed the same liberal economic model which they style as “productivity” and “reform.” Mass migration. Big Australia. Cheap labour. Endless population growth. Globalisation. Corporate convenience. And the quiet promise that if GDP goes up, everything else will sort itself out. Here’s what that model actually delivered for ordinary Australians: Housing your kids can’t afford Power bills you can barely pay Groceries that cost more every month Roads more congested than ever Hospitals under pressure Wages that go nowhere But sure. GDP is great. That is why One Nation is rising. Not because Australians have become extremists. Because millions of Australians are tired of being told to shut up and be grateful while the people making the decisions and commenting on them live in a completely different Australia. These millions of disaffected Australians have questions that The Australian would rather not have asked. Questions like… Who benefits from mass migration? Who pays the price? Why are Australian homes treated like assets for the world rather than shelter for Australians? Why does every “reform” make life harder for the people who built this country? Why is the point of economic growth if my income stagnates while costs continue to climb? Once enough Australians start asking those questions out loud, the system begins to shake. And One Nation is now asking those questions. That’s why the attacks keep coming. Pauline Hanson, Barnaby Joyce and company are now a clear and present danger to institutions like The Australian who thought they controlled the right side of politics in Australia forever. And they are a threat to the economic order that The Australian champions; an economic model that has failed to deliver for so many everyday Australians. They are a threat to the system. So the system is lashing out. In nature, we call this the death throes. Share to send a message to the mainstream media that their attacks won’t stop your support for One Nation. The more I watch Australian politics, the more I think we're witnessing something much bigger than just the rise of One Nation. Every time Labor, the Liberals, Nationals, Greens, the media, or the political establishment launch another attack on Pauline Hanson and One Nation, their support seems to keep growing. Why? Because many Australians have simply had enough. Enough political spin. Enough being told what they're allowed to think. Enough of politicians talking about everything except the issues that affect ordinary people every day. For decades, Australians have watched governments come and go, promises made and broken, and yet the same problems seem to get worse. Housing affordability. Cost of living. Congestion. Pressure on infrastructure and services. Energy costs. Community safety. Many Australians feel that the major parties are no longer listening. What we're seeing isn't unique to Australia either. Across the Western world, voters are turning away from traditional political establishments and looking for alternatives. In the United States, Donald Trump tapped into that frustration. In Britain, Nigel Farage and Reform UK have done the same. Across Europe, establishment parties are facing growing challenges from movements that argue they are speaking for ordinary citizens who feel ignored. Whether commentators like it or not, there is a growing number of people who believe politics has become disconnected from common sense and everyday reality. Many Australians are questioning policies around immigration levels, government spending, bureaucracy, identity politics and diversity initiatives. They aren't necessarily looking for radical change. They're looking for practical solutions and a government that focuses on the basics. They want our women and girls to be safe in female spaces and in female sports. Anyone who votes One Nation can describe ‘What is a woman’. And speaking of basics, many Australians are asking why our education system seems to be moving further away from them. Parents want children to leave school with strong literacy and numeracy skills. They want reading, writing and arithmetic taught thoroughly. They want students to understand Australian history, Western civilisation, democracy, our institutions and how our nation was built. Reasonable people can disagree about history, but many Australians are concerned that too much emphasis is placed on teaching young people to view Australia's past only through the lens of guilt and division. My own view is that while our history contains mistakes and injustices, Australia has become one of the most successful, peaceful and prosperous nations on Earth, and that achievement should be recognised and appreciated as well. Many Australians are also frustrated by what they see as endless red tape and green tape slowing down development, infrastructure and food production. We all want clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. Most Australians support sensible environmental protections. But there is growing concern that ideology has begun to outweigh practicality. Farmers face increasing regulations. Infrastructure projects take years to navigate approval processes. Water security projects and dams that previous generations would have built are debated for years or never happen at all. Meanwhile, populations continue to grow and pressure on housing, food production, energy and water supplies continues to increase. While on population, most of it is because of excess immigration, and yes, the burka should be banned in public. Australians don't want to choose between a healthy environment and a productive economy. They want both. That's why One Nation continues to attract support from people who once voted Labor, Liberal and National. It's not because Australians have suddenly become extreme. It's because many feel the political class has stopped listening. Agree or disagree with Pauline Hanson, one thing is becoming harder to deny: a growing number of Australians believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, and they're looking for a different path. The political establishment can keep attacking One Nation if it wants. But if the concerns driving voters toward One Nation aren't addressed, those attacks may simply convince even more Australians that the old parties still don't understand why people are walking away from them. Biblical and Moral Reasons for Rejecting Socialist based parties (which almost includes all parties in Australia) Modern socialism/progressivism present themselves as compassionate, enlightened, and morally superior. They promise “equity,” “inclusion,” and “social justice” but beneath the appealing slogans is a worldview that is hostile to God, his created order and his authority. This hostility is often disguised as compassion. Sin is reframed as freedom; rebellion is rebranded as progress and moral confusion as enlightenment. And many Christians, rather than discerning the deception, have embraced it. The tragedy is that many believers today appear to have been discipled more by progressive universities, woke media and activist/political movements than by the Word of God. Our Allegiance is To Christ, Not Politicians Many professing Christians support and vote for political parties who openly celebrate what Scripture condemns. Some even stand as candidates for these parties, justifying it by appealing to economics, climate action, welfare programs, or perceived government “compassion.” Then they expect our support because Christians should support Christians, right? No. A profession of faith is not the ultimate test; what they support, enable and refuse to oppose is the test; their fruit is the test. “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition… and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8 “You will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:16 Tolerating Evil How much evil are we willing to tolerate, excuse and empower for the sake of a preferred party, a smooth-talking candidate, a government benefit, or a social issue? How long are we going to support or remain silent about: Abortion —even up to birth Gender ideology and the mutilation and sterilisation of confused children Attacks on biblical marriage Sexual immorality Censorship of Christian conviction The indoctrination of children Open borders The worship of “mother” earth? What will it take to bring us to our knees in humility, weeping and repentance? Abortion is not a political issue; it is not “health care;” it is murder. It is the intentional taking of an innocent human life. You cannot claim to follow the Author of Life while standing with those who strive to destroy it. “Do not participate in the sins of others.” 1 Timothy 5:22 Scripture is clear; God condemns shedding innocent blood. “You shall not murder.” Exodus 20:13 “There are six things that the Lord hates… hands that shed innocent blood…” Proverbs 6:16–17 Transgender ideology is not compassion either; at its core, it rejects one of the most fundamental truths revealed in Scripture: that God created humanity male and female. “So God created man in His own image… male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27 We can love those struggling with confusion, but love does not require affirming falsehood. Christians cannot faithfully follow Christ while empowering political parties and movements that normalise the destruction of the unborn and confuse children about who they are. Socialism Replaces Biblical Stewardship and Accountability with Dependence on the State The Bible teaches stewardship, work, responsibility, personal accountability, and voluntary generosity. Socialism/progressivism teaches dependence upon and obedience to a centralised power. The two are polar opposites. Scripture says: “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Socialism says: “The government will provide for you” — with forced redistribution, creating a culture of perpetual dependence. Biblical charity is voluntary and flows from transformed hearts, not coercion by an ever-expanding state. “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 Socialism devalues the family unit – God’s design for the flourishing of humanity. Note how the 2026–2027 Budget continues the prioritising of institutional childcare over parental choice. The result: confused children, weakened families, sense of entitlement, resentment, division, dependency, and the expansion of ungodly state power that increasingly demands affirmation of what God explicitly calls sin. Open Borders is Not Compassion, its Chaos The Bible affirms that nations have borders; God created the nations when he confused the languages at the tower of Babel (Genesis 11). Socialism demands the elimination of borders and the formation of a “global family” — the very idea God demonstrably opposed. While Scripture commands compassion for the stranger — it also commands respect for the laws of the host nation, for order and national boundaries — for adherence to faith in the God most High. Open-border policies are leading to the dilution of Christianity, exploitation of migrants, human trafficking, national instability, lawlessness and a strain on families and communities. This is not God’s design. It is not compassion — it is negligence. God Changes Hearts, Socialism Changes Systems The gospel transforms people from the inside out. Socialism strives to transform society from the outside in according its own standards and godless ideologies. One trusts the power of God. The other trusts, and enforces, the power of the state above all else. “But there is No Perfect Party – We Only Have Limited Choices” Brothers and sisters, limited choices do not remove moral responsibility, but Australia’s preferential voting system effectively removes this common excuse for supporting parties that promote anti-Christian policies. We repeatedly hear that voting for Christian or morally conservative parties is “wasting” our vote. It is not. Preferential voting means your vote is not discarded simply because your first-choice candidate does not win. It allows Christians to vote according to their convictions first while still allocating preferences afterwards, without forfeiting their influence in the final count. Importantly, it sends a message — we will not reward parties that murder the unborn, indoctrinate and mutilate children and practice open hostility to biblical truth. If believers continue voting the same way out of fear, habit, or political tribalism, despite having this alternative, then the problem is not “limited choice” — the problem is the posture of the heart; the fear of losing political comfort more than the fear of dishonouring God. “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” Proverbs 29:25 Finally, we are not called to control outcomes; we are called to be faithful. God is sovereign over nations and kings. He raises and removes authority as he chooses (Daniel 2:21). Let’s stand firm in faithfulness until Christ returns and leave the outcome to him. Our vote should say: “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 BREAKING: Your taxes just bought Hamas run Gaza another $25 million dollars. Penny Wong announced a fresh $25 million package for “Palestinian recovery and reform.” That’s on top of roughly $230 million in Australian taxpayer money directed at Palestinian programs since Labor won in 2022. Where is it actually going? Gaza is governed by Hamas, a prescribed terrorist organisation under Australian law. The Palestinian Authority does not control Gaza. Most of this money does not go straight into PA bank accounts. It is routed through UN agencies, the World Bank, and “recovery” funds. Labor calls it humanitarian aid and institution building. After years of UNRWA staff scandals, aid diversion allegations, and Hamas running Gaza, Australians are entitled to ask how much reaches civilians and how much ends up supporting the people who govern by terror. $25 million last month. Hundreds of millions since 2022. Is this what you voted for? The Censorship Machine Hiding in Plain Sight Nation First analyses how Albanese’s Digital Duty of Care could expand the definition of online harm, pressure Big Tech to restrict lawful speech and supercharge the powers of eSafety. The Albanese Government is building a censorship machine, and the most important thing to understand is that it doesn’t look anything like the censorship machine most people have in their heads. There’s no Department of Censorship. There’s no miserable bureaucrat sitting in Canberra reading your Facebook posts and stamping APPROVED or BANNED across them. Anthony Albanese doesn’t need to telephone Mark Zuckerberg and dictate which political opinions Australians are permitted to read. That would be crude, obvious and politically explosive. This is much smarter. The Government’s proposed Digital Duty of Care creates a legal concept called a “safe online environment”. It requires online services to protect Australians from specified categories of harm and makes those companies legally responsible for managing the risks. That sounds perfectly reasonable until you ask the question sitting underneath the entire scheme: Who decides what is harmful?
