Another reason why I'm glad that I wasn'f one of your students at Glebe High

Me too. There would have been time consuming calls from parents seeking clarification for the consistent low marks that you were accumulating. In mollification I might have said to them:

"A significant part of young Izzy's poor performances is his propensity to daydream about beach houses, a glowing future in PE and lucrative property portfolio. His History essays are often populated by persons with made up names who are eyewitnesses to events that never happened and the school counsellor has expressed concern that alcohol might play a part in the woolly mindedness that we are all seeing.

The friendship circle around him is also less that beneficial - boys like Jack F Coat, a nihilistic naysayer, likewise the garrulous French student Salvatore maybe a Google whiz but his waking consciousness is completely dominated by a deep and morbid paranoia re the old USSR which was a thing 30 years ago. Such delusory thinking can't be good for your boy who is confused enough as it is what with imaginary exotic companions and the like. The explosive Randy Rooster is also a handicap to your boy - a holder of grudges and not readily given to serious study, Rooster is offended by the merest well meaning correction. And there is a new girl in the group from the ACT who, while seemingly demure, behaves provocatively at times but is, as yet, not as much of a worry as are the others though there are trust issues with that one. Yours Sincerely, Mr. P. Colt.

Happy holidays everyone. 2022 was one to forget but bigger and brighter coming up. See yez all in the NY.

Comrade Paddo

I think it would have been the other way around with complaints from Parents about you pushing a certain ideology including your fictional view of history and historical events which align with this ideology

Historical Negationism is not part of the School Curriculum and neither is Westernophobia and anti-Capitalism one has to say.

When you have leaders in certain countries saying the break up of the Soviet Union was the greatest catastrophe in history and it's despot leaders were correct to crack down hard on dissidents then you do have people still with that Evil Ideology and Dangerous USSR mindset.

If Communism is so good and everyone loves it according to you, why did these Communist regimes have and still have all these work and re-education camps - - Gulag Archipelago

Yeah I dunno why a guy would take pride in claiming he'd fail a guy who got into law purely because he's not a disciple of Putin and Menadue. Not saying I'm a genius but like... he's openly admitting that he was a crooked teacher who didn't accept the syllabus or some pretty bog standard, non-controversial rubrics. There's having a 'different' approach and then there's trying to force some fringe, alt agenda upon students who are otherwise doing swell. Paddo's regime sounds like a re-education camp to me...

If I'm frank, the people Paddo cites and idolises are all outcasts who have taken a bitter, anti-society stance following events in their personal lives that have left them feeling sore. I note that none of them had happy childhoods and all of them had their careers cut short.

PS - please take a minute to admire the above quoting skills.

Merry Christmas to you M.R.
I hope you enjoyed NZ...................I am going away in February.

Hi Eddie, sorry I only just saw your message. I must have missed it on Christmas Day as I only popped in here briefly between doing things, I hope you had a great Christmas Day. Yes NZ was great except for the airport baggage handlers losing my luggage on my way home. Where are you off to in February?

That's cool mighty one.
I'm not going too far.........................Fraser Island and the gold coast.
Visiting seaworld for the first time in 30 years.

I hope you have a great time Eddie. I’ve never been to Frazer Island. Done the Gold Coast a few times especially with the kids when they were younger. I enjoyed Sea World but I think Movieworld was probably my favourite theme Park.

Sea World sounds pretty awesome! We're staying at a waterpark in Thailand for a few days and then heading to Vietnam.

Yeah you're right - all losers. This week on Menadue we've read Paul Keating on warnings he gave re US policy on Ukraine ten years ago. Percy Allen, former NSW Head of Treasury also on the Ukraine. Jack Waterford, respected journalist and ex editor of the Canberra Times plus sundry other academics and writers. By contrast there's Izzy's "Everyone" as in "everyone" knows China is XYZ. Sheeple, he means, who don't know much about anything really. Pretty much like him it would seem, thinking that the MSM tells him the truth.

Hahaha thats the conundrum when it comes to China.....love them or hate them they have played a very big part in making Australia a wealthy country.....and that will continue into the future. Im hopeful Penny Wong can help build a stronger economic relationship with the Chinese. I'm going to continue doing my part by ordering Rose Bay chinese for the family every second Saturday !

[ism22]

The facts - John Menadue is full of shyte and nobody agrees with him.

BTW I'm in Bangkok now. Loving it while Paddo (who's too scared to visit Asia) thinks he's learning more by smokin' spliffs and reading Menadue. Yeah alright mate, no worries.

Do you like Huey Lewis & the News?

Here is a link to Paul Keating's post on the SMH's current war mongering anti China campaign. We can't let ourselves, through apathy and ignorance, become susceptible to the sort of trash journalism that the MSM constantly serves up.
