Islam and the Rainbow. Two totalitarian forces competing for the same territory at the same time. Different uniforms, same potent modus operandi as used by Karl, Vladimir, Joseph, Adolf, Mao, ..., and probably more threatening.

The below excerpts from Nick Cater's article in The Australian today highlights the danger facing Australia from not just one but two totalitarian forces (Islam and the Rainbow movement) who seek to silence all opposition as they advance and attempt their takeover of our once young and free, but now very sleepy and blind, Australia.

"The determination to deny their opponents a platform, the merciless attacks on character, the insistence that their enemies not only apologise but do so grovellingly like some shaven-headed dissident at a show trial suggest the Left, once again, is flirting with totalitarianism.

There is one important detail about the early fascists that the Left intelligentsia have been inclined to overlook: the early fascists were metropolitan sophisticates rather like today’s intelligentsia — artists, writers, academics and dreamers convinced of their own superior wisdom.

The resemblance between totalitarianism and modern-day political correctness is hardly surprising. As Tony Judt wrote in his expansive volume on the history of Europe from 1945, a monopoly of authority requires a monopoly of knowledge, the assurance that the official “truth” on any given topic would not be challenged or, if it were, that the challenge should be suppressed with exemplary force.

It is no coincidence that the intelligentsia, which champions political correctness today, once championed the Soviet Union where the state sought to control not just what people said but what they thought.

It aspired to set the limits not only on Dimitri Shostakovich performances but also his compositions. Stalin, if he could, would have cracked down on Shostakovich not just for the music he conducted but the music going on in his head."
