CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 009 Part 8. Discipline. How to Make Your Child Independent.Now here’s a saying that you might not have heard for a long time. “Spare the rod and spoil the child”. Maybe some of you have never heard it. The full version of it is in the Book of Proverbs in the Bible, 13:24 and it reads “Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.”With people like John Lennon saying that we need child liberation after women’s liberation, many people today will undoubtedly say that he was right and the Bible was wrong.

Discipline - What If Everyone Hated Your Child?I’m continuing with my series of programmes about how you can achieve what I think is the good goal spelled out by Jordan Peterson in Rule 5 of his book “12 Rules for Life” - don’t let your children do anything that will make you dislike them.But some people think that a parent discipling their child is destroying their unique individuality, their creativity, that discipline represses them.

The Danger Zone (DZ)DZ Season 002 Part 04 How Hitler Almost Missed the Bus. 1 January 1933. Who, in the Nazi Party, called Hitler “an immigrant unemployed house painter”?At last it was 1933. Hitler kept saying that he knew his destiny to become the Chancellor of the Third Reich would be achieved that year. If it didn’t then he would probably have ended up dead by his own hand.Hitler isn’t universally loved. Even the man who would become the head of perhaps the most feared state security organisation that has ever existed in this world, the Gestapo, Heinrich Müller, had described Hitler as “an immigrant unemployed house painter”. On another occasion he’d called him “an Austrian draft dodger”.In 1937 (well into the f...2025-03-1817 min

The Danger Zone (DZ)DZ Season 063 Part 12. 300 Spartans and All That - Xerxes and the Spies.Xerxes the wise ruler, making intelligent decisions, is on show in this programme. Decisions of great insight, brilliance even.

The Danger Zone (DZ)DZ Season 063 Part 1. 300 Spartans and All That - The Beginning.In 480 BC a battle took place at the Thermopylae Pass, essentially between 300 Spartan warriors and the massive army of Xerxes, the mighty ruler of the mightiest empire that the world had ever seen, with 1,700,000 men at his command, so we are told. Although at another point we’re told that his forces numbered 5,283,220 men - pretty precise eh!

Anti-Italian prejudices about their fighting spirit in North Africa abound, for people that know about the North African campaign, but it was the dogged fighting determination of the Ariete Division in early November 1942 that saved the Panzerarmee Africa possibly from annihilation.
And this is a good time to tell you about Hitler’s stand fast order of 3 November – what timing!

Final Part.Swedish climate activist, Greta Thunberg, testified at a House hearing on climate change along with other youth leaders about the cataclysmic climate and the irrefutable proof that it was actually happening. She had this to say about trusting in the science on climate change:

At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate. … no changes in behaviour or technology can save us unless we can achieve control over the size of the human population.

The homosexual family model has a core fatal flaw as they conclude when the say The problem with same-sex parenting, as previously noted, isn't the gay parent; it's the missing parent.

Should couples in homosexual marriages continue to have the right to adopt children, or get children through egg or sperm donation, or through surrogates. This has always assumed to be OK but is that what the scientific studies are showing. It hasn’t been something that has received any consideration by the government especially given how successful the LGBTIQ+ community has been at pushing their agenda and silencing everyone else.

Facebook Meme quoting President Abraham Lincoln: “You can’t believe everything you read on Facebook”When you look at something on the internet today you’ve just gotta wonder. So much rubbish there. So many lies dressed up as the truth. For me the good posts are the ones that are obviously wrong and funny – like the quote attributed to US President Abraham Lincoln who lived in the 1800s, before there was electricity and the internet. The meme on Facebook “quoted” him as saying “You can’t believe everything you read on Facebook”.

CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 008 Part 10. The World's Greatest Mistrial. King David's Detailed Description of the Crucifixion - Written 1,000 Years Before It Happened.David, the man who as a very young boy killed the giant Goliath, wrote a poem (a psalm) when he was King of Israel, about 1,000 years before Jesus was crucified. It reads as a staggering account, by Jesus, of his crucifixion and death.
Now remember that the Old Testament was translated into Greek by over 70 scholars (why it’s called the Septuagint – from the Latin for 70) in about 275BC. At that time most Jews didn’t speak Hebrew. So the Old Testament is locked in as being 100% genuine – written a long time before the birth of Jesus...2023-09-2223 min

I’m going to tell you about the prophecy which gave the precise day that Jesus would enter Jerusalem as the Messiah/King exactly 173,880 days time from a historical event – and He did. The torture of Jesus that was too grisly for Mel Gibson to show in the Passion. Jesus’ incredible sense of humour, his brutal verbal confrontations with the pharisees (the Jewish priests).

CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 007 Part 05. The Stolen Generations Myth. What the High Court of Australia Said - Was There Genocide of the Aboriginals?The Bring Them Home enquiry was to be an investigation, broadly, in the words of the terms of reference to trace the past laws, practices and policies which resulted in the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families by compulsion, duress or undue influence, and the effects of those laws, practices and policies. The instructions for the inquiry were given by Michael Lavarch the Attorney-General of Australia on 2 August 1995.

Given that there was no differences that matter between how evil Nazi Germany was, and how evil Communist Russia was, this would have made a lot of sense.

It was the first time he’d been back there for a long time. Soon after the German invasion of Russia on 22 June 1941, he’d left his mother and other members of his family there because his wife, Olga Mikhailovna, had refused to let them move into their flat in Moscow.

So a huge live variety extravaganza was turned on for the men at night, plus showings throughout the day of the latest release movie. Beautiful Ukrainian girls kept the boys company.

It was important to get it right because, if they could,
they could do it on a far bigger scale at the next place where they’d already planned to do a mass extermination of Jews, a place called Babi Yar near Kiev.

But the size of that maritime disaster was dwarfed on 30 January 1945, when the Germans were carrying out the largest seaborne evacuation in history – 2 million people fleeing the onrushing Russian forces.

This programme’s about the world that war has made so in this programme I’m going to tell you a bloody good story – which is what war is all about after all – about how we finally got to understand blood and save millions of lives.

The Danger Zone (DZ)DZ Season 006 Part 03 Poor Prague Velvet Revolution, 1989. Final Part.In September 1939, Czechoslovakia was betrayed to Adolf Hitler by the British and the French. It had been done for the most noble of motives, in an effort to avoid another war with Germany. They had thrown Czechoslovakia to the ravenous beast that Adolf Hitler was. It turned out to be rather unsuccessful in avoiding disaster as 60 million people died in World War II rather than a few thousand that might have died if they had instead called Hitler’s bluff. Although it was then more likely that his generals would have removed him in a coup.

All I can do is go home and sit in the ditch and look at the blue sky”.

He imagined what would happen if some enemy decided to bomb his city. He wrote:
“The sirens howled and the people fled into their air-raid shelters. The bombs fell with deafening noise, blowing in windows and destroying all the houses.. Vast flames rage over Dresden.

And if you’re not shocked you should be.

CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 08. Woke More Working Class DeplorableIn my last programme in this series, I talked about how the mainstream news was abandoning the working class.
The news in America began to shift its focus away from the whole population, of which the overwhelming majority was the ordinary man and woman in the street, to the more elite members of our community, which mostly meant the people working in offices and the more up-market offices at that.
Sir Robert Menzies, in 1942, had used the term, the Forgotten People. Well ordinary working class people were now being forgotten by the media. They didn’t...2023-01-1721 min
The Danger Zone (DZ)DZ Season 001 Part 02. World Safe for Communism American PurgeHamilton Fish III was a congressman from western New York. His grandfather had been a secretary of state. On a nationally syndicated radio broadcast he thundered:
“Opposed though I am to Nazism, I am certain that American mothers will not willingly sacrifice their sons to make the world safe for Communism. It is "preposterous to think of America being aligned with Joe Stalin as our pal and comrade, with his hands dripping with blood of murdered priests and nuns and the same dagger in his hand which he plunged into the backs of Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and our friend th...2023-01-1618 min
The Danger Zone (DZ)DZ Season 001 Part 01. World Safe for Communism Russia RecognisedFrom the distance of the years, from all that you see and hear about a man who has grown into something of a legend, the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, FDR was one of the great presidents. He was one of the Big Three leaders of World War II, along with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin.
It’s not easy to get a view out of the ordinary view that we always hear about about FDR, one that looks at the failings of this man on the world stage. The serious flaws he had that betrayed th...2023-01-1523 min
CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 07. Woke Working Class DeplorableDonald Trump – two words to conjure demons with for the left.
One month after Donald Trump did the unbelievable, and won the 2016 election, which Hilary Clinton had in the bag, the New York Times published an editorial warning about the danger that he posed to the country. It said that the saviour of the American civilisation now depended on the media organisations:
“that report fact without regard for partisanship, and citizens who think for themselves, will need to light the way.”
If the impartial observer of that pious editorial realised that 91% of the reader...2023-01-1316 min
CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 06. Woke Media the New EliteThere had never been a time like it, and there would never be a time like it again. Sure America didn’t officially have royalty, but it did have them unofficially.
The unprecedented election of a Catholic in America as President – John Fitzgerald Kennedy – Jack Kennedy. A man from the new monied class. Well his daddy had made his money as a bootlegger, bringing illegal booze into America. There was big money in that. And with lots of money comes respectability. Jack Kennedy represented the new college educated elite class of people. Smarter than the stupid blue collar...2023-01-1223 min
CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 05. Woke Media in DeclineTelling the truth without fear or favour, talking to the working man in language that he could understand. Giving him a voice. That was standard that not every one wanted to meet.
There was a different point of view about what the news should be. Pulitzer’s paper was making profits large enough to even be attractive to a well-to do member of the New York State Assembly and a banker, leading them to have a serious discussion about setting up a paper of their own. You’ll know the papers name when I tell you.

CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 04. Woke Media Early DaysHistory is not something that’s widely taught in schools today.
In his book “Bench and Book” Australian novelist, poet, short story writer and retired Western Australian Supreme Court judge, Nicholas Hasluck, has published some of his diary notes for the years 2000 and 2001. Important years in our history. He attended a conference in Canberra, called Challenging History. Melbourne historian. Stuart McIntyre told the Conference that the study of history was rapidly declining. In NSW in 1984 34% of high school students studied history. In 1995 that had fallen to 18%. In Victoria the story was far worse. It was 26% in 1984 but down t...2023-01-1117 min
CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 03. Woke Solzhenitsyn WarningHarvard University thought it had pulled off an enormous coup when it made what, for it, turned out to be the huge mistake of inviting Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to speak at its Graduation Ceremony on 8 June 1978. It expected that this man, who had been given political asylum in the United States would show his gratitude to his new home country. To focus on attacking his old persecutors, the Communists, but Solzhenitsyn saw himself as a man now living in the United States – and he saw his proper role as being telling the Americans the truth about itself as he saw it...2023-01-0918 min
CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 02. Woke Judicial ActivismThe coming of Woke. A lot of it goes back to judicial activism. An important case was Everson v Board of Education which began to exclude Christian education from the public space. It is a case probably far worse than the Roe v Wade decision that has just been overturned but it came from the same source of judicial activism.

CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)CYKIAE Season 001 Part 01. Woke SolzhenitsynNow if I told you that the first man to warn us against woke was the most famous Russian dissident and prisoner of Stalin’s gulag (concentration camp system in which 60 million people died), Alexander Solzhenitsyn who won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his novel called One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch. You probably either don’t believe me or you don’t know who Alexander Solzhenitsyn was. So we can’t say that we weren’t warned that all of this stuff was coming our way – because the core ideas of all of this stuff today were w...2023-01-0724 min
