why is Australia?
Music From: A-A
In which I explore the interesting idea of Australia. A country that in spite of perhaps the most destabilising culture on earth, seems to persist with a comparatively above average stability and quality of life. Our Tall Poppy syndrome, an Australian mindset that belittles success and power.
the full script:
Australians sense of humour is to understate things immensely
It is incredible that Australian culture permits the ability to make such gross understatements and still maintain some level of legitimately. People think that anarchists threaten the legitimacy of countries and authority. But in reality anarchists are the exact opposite. There are no people more serious about authority and state than those people, they die out of their belief that they are true and exist...

Here's a cheat sheat on the 10 no-no's:
The Cultural Revolution and The Great Leap Forward
Origins of 'The Pandemic'
The Tibet dilemma
Criticisms of the current administration
The Xinjiang Camps

Music From: A-A
In which I explore the interesting idea of Australia. A country that in spite of perhaps the most destabilising culture on earth, seems to persist with a comparatively above average stability and quality of life. Our Tall Poppy syndrome, an Australian mindset that belittles success and power.
the full script:
Australians sense of humour is to understate things immensely
It is incredible that Australian culture permits the ability to make such gross understatements and still maintain some level of legitimately. People think that anarchists threaten the legitimacy of countries and authority. But in reality anarchists are the exact opposite. There are no people more serious about authority and state than those people, they die out of their belief that they are true and exist.
It is Australian culture that is a true threat to all ideas of empire and control. How can a state enforce the law on a nation of people that would look at the moon crashing down on earth and in his last words say. “Oh, that doesn’t look too good”.
There is nothing more damaging to a structured society than Australian humour. Some of the funniest books I have ever read were those about Prisoners of War on the Thai Burma railway! These are people that suffered some of the most brutal treatment humanly possible, that which was delivered under the imperial Japanese.
Upon facing death, almost every Australian used their final breath by making course and obscene jokes and bawdy humour. When people from the USS Housten were facing death as their ship sank surrounded by a fleet of Japanese Navy in the Java sea, they prayed to god and said their goodbyes, cried and did all the expected things one might do facing death's door. When the HMAS Perth sank in the same place and faced the same fleet, the Australians jumped ship and expressed their panic and senses of impending doom by taking the piss out of their own lives.
Here is another, more modern example from a book by our former PM Kevin Rudd, when he and some other Queensland Politicians visited China and accidentally bore witness 1989 Tiananmen Square protests
“Wayne broke the silence by observing dryly that he had heard the chinese were very welcoming of foreign guests, and I have plainly gone out of my way to organise a welcome of this order of magnitude for a visiting queensland delegation to the chinese capital.”
One of History's largest and infamous protests was joked about as a welcoming party for what was at the time a backwater state from a small and barely modernised country.
[skit]
Oh my god you decapitated my arm!
“Nah it's fine just rub some aloe vera on it”
[skit]
This observation isn’t a new thing. Foreigners find this aspect of Australians incredibly unusual. Our form of humour in this line I hear is actually quite hard for many people to identify. Especially Americans. The CIA says that Australia and America share very similar cultures, but you take the english and anglo away and in reality we are both stark in our cultural style. Where Americans glorify and deify success, every fibre of the Australian spirit is built towards belittling all forms of popularity. Part of that comes from the scottish tendency to back the underdog, but a lot seems to be an Australian exclusive.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding

SUMMARY
=======
Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normal civilian functions of government, especially in response to a temporary emergency such as invasion or major disaster, or in an occupied territory.Martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the public. Such incidents may occur after a coup d'état (Thailand in 2006 and 2014, and Egypt in 2013); when threatened by popular protest (China, Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, 2009's Iranian Green Movement that led to the takeover by Revolutionary Guards); to suppress political opposition (Poland in 1981); or to stabilize insurrections or perceived insurrections (Canada, The October Crisis of 1970). Martial law may be declared in cases of major natural disasters; however, most countries use a different legal construct, such as a state of emergency.
Martial law has also been imposed during conflicts, and in cases of occupations, where the absence of any other civil government provides for an unstable population. Examples of this form of military rule include post World War II reconstruction in Germany and Japan, the recovery and reconstruction of the former Confederate States of America during Reconstruction Era in the United States of America following the American Civil War, and German occupation of northern France between 1871 and 1873 after the Treaty of Frankfurt ended the Franco-Prussian War.
Typically, the imposition of martial law accompanies curfews; the suspension of civil law, civil rights, and habeas corpus; and the application or extension of military law or military justice to civilians. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal (court-martial).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is the armed forces of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its founding and ruling political party, the Communist Party of China (CPC). The PLA consists of five professional service branches: the Ground Force, Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, and the Strategic Support Force. Units around the country are assigned to one of five theater commands by geographical location. The PLA is the world's largest military force and constitutes the second largest defence budget in the world. It is one of the fastest modernising military powers in the world and has been termed as a potential military superpower, with significant regional defense and rising global power projection capabilities. China is also the third largest arms exporter in the world.
The PLA is under the command of the Central Military Commission (CMC) of the CPC. It is legally obliged to follow the principle of civilian control of the military, although in practical terms this principle has been implemented in such a way as to ensure the PLA is under the absolute control of the Communist Party. Its commander in chief is the Chairman of the Central Military Commission (usually the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China). Since 1949, China has used nine different military strategies, which the PLA calls “strategic guidelines.” The most important came in 1956, 1980, and 1993. In times of national emergency, the People's Armed Police and the People's Liberation Army militia act as a reserve and support element for the PLAGF.
