Newer posts →. Digging up the Family Plot. IT is no surprise that the two most popular topics on the internet are sex and family history. Procreation lies at the heart of both. In fact, if the former were somehow to fall out of fashion there would be little call for the latter. For friends of mine such as James Elliott, it’s a great-great-great uncle shipwrecked off Africa before being sold into slavery in Zanzibar, where he met a princess in the sheik’s harem and fled with her to Egypt. 8220;And we neve...

Pell Mell Straight to Hell. As far as I can tell, Cardinal George Pell in his evidence to the Royal Commission into Child Abuse has confirmed that his fellow priests were acting as pimps for the abusers, providing fresh victims by moving them from parish to parish. It was a criminal culture of cover-up and deception, he said. By raising his hand weakly in protest at some latter stage he suggests that he was some kind of Saint? Having heard Pell’s carefully crafted evidence, what happens next? I wonder wh...

A Private Army | Adam Shand

Fishing for a Happy Ending. Send a message to Putin →. This morning I was perusing the Herald Sun, that fine and reasonable journal, when a headline jumped out at me. “Bikies vow they are going to ‘wreck’ Mildura, police claim. When 15-year old Ralph Hubert Barger Junior saw The Wild One. At his local cinema in 1954, he decided a biker’s life was his destiny. He had flirted with becoming a beatnik, but he had loved the motorcycle from the moment he straddled a $20 motor scooter. I don’t know if rip.

Death Cult in the Homeland →. I was driving to Sydney last November when Daniel Saunders called me. He had first contacted me in March 2013 via this website saying that he wanted to talk to me. 8220;This” was the story that finally appeared in the Good Weekend Magazine today. Http:/ www.theage.com.au/national/fast-money-20140804-3d2x4.html. He had taken the National Australia Bank for about $500 000 in four and a half months and now he wanted to come clean, he said. I wouldn’t be surprised if the q...

Scotland The Brave →. Death Cult in the Homeland. Australia is riding into another conflict in the Arab world but the real fight will be at home. Two hundred elite special forces soldiers are headed for Iraq within days after the PM Tony Abbott agreed to provide planes and 600 personnel to the US-led multinational strike force against Islamic terrorists running amok in Iraq and Syria. Five officers ducked for cover as 16 bullets from semi-automatic pistols passed through the station’s foyer windows...

Camp Hell | Adam Shand

Grace The Cold Case. Kids waiting for Sunday School to open at Camp Pell late 1940s. They carried the moral stain of growing up there for years. Camp Pell kids were ostracised at local schools for being unclean and spreading illness and head lice. Carl’s uncles and aunts even found the teachers gave them a hard time for their ragged dirty appearance. Despite occasional half-hearted attempts to tidy it up, Camp Pell remained a breeding ground of physical and spiritual diseasean evil intolerable plague spo...

This Morning on Monument Hill | Adam Shand

https://adamsh.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/this-morning-on-monument-hill

Shaming Belle →. This Morning on Monument Hill. The mettle that a race can show. Is proved with shot and steel,. And now we know what nations know. And feel what nations feel. Paterson’s words ring down the years. Only in war can a nation be born, only when the blood of young men stains foreign shores can we be taken seriously as a nation, he wrote. Our six-starred flag that used to fly. Half-shyly to the breeze,. Unknown where older nations ply. Their trade on foreign seas. The wide seas know it now!

The People and Putin →. Send a message to Putin. Vladimir Putin said if there was peace in eastern Ukraine this incident would not have happened. He looked uncomfortable, head down over his papers, his eyes everywhere but on the camera. Putin has backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, causing the deaths of many civilians. Now his filthy wickedness is stripped bare. The People and Putin →. 6 thoughts on “ Send a message to Putin. 20 July 2014 at 2:25 pm. 21 July 2014 at 7:31 am. 22 July 2014 at 3:17 am.

Death Cult in the Homeland. The Real Chopper’s Mail Bag →. The strongest argument against Scottish independence is that the rich and powerful in England don’t seem to like it, which is the best reason for cutting the three-hundred year old bonds with Britain. So does it matter, especially to colonials with distant ties to the old country? By the early 19th century, John Shand’s family members were poor tenant farmers and travelling merchants. However, they caught a break when the absentee landl...One tho...

Fishing for a Happy Ending →. The Long Walk to Freedom Continues. In one sense, Nelson Mandela had to die to fulfil his vision. He knew his time had come, he was ready to join the ancestors. At 95, he had earned his rest. He will become even greater in death than in life. As one scribe wrote, his death will allow the real consequences of his life to begin. Show buttonholed him at a function at the presidential residence in Pretoria a few days after his inauguration in October 1994. 8220;Our daily deeds a...
