The anniversary of the naval victory of the Christian States over Mohammedan Imperialism has just passed. Few people in our (former) Christian states today are aware of the historical event of the Battle of Lepanto and how critical it was to the survival of Western Civilization. There was a time when few school children had not heard of the Battle of Lepanto.
A brief military history of the battle is here.

Activist charged over Frances Abbott record hacking, but how serious will ‘they’ consider it?
Report by CHRISTIAN KERR, The Australian
FREYA Newman, the student charged over the computer hacking that led to records of the $60,000 scholarship granted to the Prime Minister’s daughter being leaked to online magazine New Matilda, is part of a new wave of activists who have seized control of the University of Technology, Sydney, student association.
Ms Newman is the association’s women’s officer.
The co-author of the New Matilda article, veteran activist-journalist Wendy Bacon, has a long association with the university. Although formally retired, Ms Bacon remains involved with its Centre for Independent Journalism as a professorial fellow.
Ms Newman, who is a third-year communications student, touched on a range of hot-button issues in her campaign material for election as women’s officer.
The 20-year-old promised “cross-collective action”, calling for on-campus action on asylum-seekers and action to build links with outside groups, greater engagement with Aboriginal and anti-racism groups and the creation of “gender and sexuality-based discussion groups and/or events’’.
Ms Newman also boasted about her role in preventing an anti-abortion group affiliating with the UTS union.
She lists her research interests on the academia.edu website as indigenous or Aboriginal studies, settler colonialism and its legacies, sovereignty, colonialism, indigenous studies, imperialism and empire. Ms Newman also adds postcolonial feminism, critical race theory, transnational feminism, critical disability studies, feminist disability and gender studies to this list.
She was working as a part-time night librarian at the Whitehouse Institute when computer files were allegedly accessed. The institute has handed over CCTV footage and email evidence.
Ms Newman has been charged with one count of accessing restricted data held in a computer.
It quickly became clear in 1970s that feminism was a Marxist-Leninist political movement that aimed to destroy the natural relationship between men and women. That was, of course, in line with the general objective of the Marxist-Leninist, that is, the destruction of traditional European society, particularly its moral norms.
Looking back from 2014, one cannot deny that feminism has booked an overwhelming success. Its hierarchy of furious frightbats won’t rest, though. There remains much to be done for a complete destruction of the relationship between men and women. Indeed, that whole concept of ‘men and women’ – the words themselves – must be outlawed. What, then, must the frightbats of feminism think of the treacherous movement of young women who have formed a group called WOMEN AGAINST FEMINISM – and want the traditional partnership between women as women and men as (masculine) men? Have a look at what they’re saying HERE – and be surprised.
UPDATE
There was, as expected, little delay in the sisterhood response. This is how one representative frightbat responded – HERE. Notice how her satire depicts her opponents as dumb and ignorant bimbos – in just the way feminists accuse men of doing. Only a man could never generate that sort of spite – a women on women spite.
We have just passed the anniversary of the most obscene and determining event of the modern era. That event flung the Western World into a dizzying irresistible ride that has left millions upon millions dead and European Civilization on the point of collapse.
On the 14th of July 1789, the Paris rabble stormed the Bastille to release a few incapable and mad inmates. Far from the prisoners and their ferocious unkempt liberators being the true symbol of that political act, they have been raised to hallowed heights by those who talk the talk of democracy but work to impose a totalitarian ideology on the world.

The next meeting of Edmund Burke’s Club (Aust) Inc will be on Friday 18 July at the Savage Club, Melbourne City. Gerard Wilson will give a talk on ‘Burke’s Philosophy of Rights’. The intention is to draw a line from a general idea of natural law – which was the subject of Fr Tattersall’s talk at the previous meeting – through to Burke’s positive conception of ‘real’ rights and his condemnation of the contract theorists’ ‘abstract natural rights’. The meeting is open to all interested people.
Jesse Norman, author of one of the most recent biographies of Edmund Burke – and one of the best – reviews The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of Left and Right, by Yuval Levin, (Basic Books) HERE. Norman’s book is Edmund Burke: Prophet, Politician and Philosopher, parts of which have been discussed on this website. Norman’s review of Levin’s book is highly recommended.
Unfortunately, due to computer problems the main mailing list of Edmund Burke’s Club has been lost. If you would like to receive email updates about EBC meetings and other activities, please go to the contacts page.
The next meeting of Edmund Burke’s Club (Aust) Inc will be on 23 May 2014 at the Savage Club. For more information about the meeting, go to the events page.
The meeting of Edmund Burke’s Club at the Savage Club, Melbourne, on 7 February was largely taken up by Gerard Wilson’s commentary on Part One of Jesse Norman’s recent book, Edmund Burke: Philosopher, Politician, Prophet. The commentary was twice as long as the normal presentation which, the President said, could not be avoided because of the material to be covered. Despite the length of the presentation most people found a full coverage Burke’s life and political career interesting and said they were looking forward to the text being posted on the EBC website.
