The Pink Flamingo writes a column for women in the National Focus.
With exclusive rights to reprint her articles they follow complete with cartoons.
As the Pink Flamingo admits, she is not a woman's woman and her opinions tend to back up
those of men rather than the stereotyped female. But that's what the Pink Flamingo does, she
voices her concerns as a woman who does not follow the crowd.
While walking her own path she encounters other women of like mind, relieved to
know that they are not on their own. They too coming to the conclusion that they are being manipulated by a
society that dictates to us standards vastly different to those we were brought up with.
The decline of our morals is an issue that women should feel very strongly about since they are
the most affected and we can see this in almost every media avenue. But in the long run men
will suffer even more because as any sensible male knows, if the woman is not happy the home
isn't worth living in.
With this in mind I urge men to read these articles too because while a woman points the way it
is ultimately the man who must face the foe and a wise warrior studies his enemy well.

THE ELECTION IS OVER - WORLD ORDER WON
My editor's suggestion to write a column for women gave me feelings of
trepidation. I have never considered myself a typical woman and seldom identify with
the stereotyped female as portrayed by the designers of our modern society.
I don't buy women's magazines, rarely follow fashion and loathe all that
liberation stuff.
Preferring to be an individual with a mind of my own, I embrace my femininity
with pride rather than resentment or a need to compete with members of the opposite
sex.
I read somewhere part of the Manifesto of the Illuminati (a group of people
who plan to rule the world their way), "There is no way of influencing men so
powerfully as by means of the Woman" - part of their manifesto. This intimates that
they should gain the confidence of women by "giving them hints of emancipation from
the tyranny of public opinion and of standing up for themselves" in order to "cause
them to work for us with zeal, without their knowing they do so, for they will only be
indulging their own desire for personal admiration".
My recent interest in the political scene revealed to me horrendous anomalies in
our present system and I wondered if the Illuminati's plan to debauch us had finally
succeeded. I have observed that we so-called 'liberated women', are suffering far more
at the hands of the monsters we subsequently created after we stepped out alone.
Our children are being born out of wedlock perplexed about their traditions and
place in society. Given no incentive to work they are not punished for the crimes they
commit as an excuse for their lack of direction and discipline.
Politicians, by their actions over the years, have manipulated the system to
unravel our freedom by breaking the back of those who work the hardest and
pandering to those who pay the least tax.
Our men are demoralised and confused, unable to determine and persist with
their role as dictated to them by an ever-changing so-called 'progressive society'.
How could we have been so blind and naive not to have seen the way we were
going and then to have quietly suffered the consequences in silence?
Some of us 'woke' and tried to warn others but too many were busy with heads
down and bums up, foolishly unaware of the bias of major tabloids whose real agenda
is to further our ignorance.
The recent federal election convinced me that even with the devil staring us
down we were not enough in number to overthrow the bought-and-paid-for traitors
who will go on to violate us even more.
As a woman I can tell you that on election night I took a sleeping pill and
forced myself into the oblivion of sleep rather than watch the disastrous results on TV.
The next day I spent in mourning for my country - so deeply depressed that I
couldn't receive anyone and cried often. The grief was for a way of life that now,
almost certainly, seems lost forever.
But what if the Illuminati were correct? If we women do possess the power that
'they' need, then perhaps we should harness that strength for ourselves to change us
back into the force we once were before being conned into thinking of ourselves first.
If I'm right, then all is not lost. Instead of bending to the temptation of self-
interest we, the women, should once more stand alongside our men and not allow our
attention to be swayed by divisive trends and propaganda.
We lost our way when we gave up our hard fought-for principles and integrity,
but we can find them again and influence our men to once more become the proud
Australians we need to regain our heritage, dignity and self-respect.
Without each other, the rat race will be over and the rats will win!

REDNECK'S RULE
"Pink Flamingo?" I've been asked.
It goes back to 1996 when people like John Howard and John Laws labelled
those who disagreed with the gun laws with names like "redneck" and "gun nuts".
I didn't own a weapon on the new banned list but I resented the fact that
because I objected to the civilian disarmament of a whole country I was automatically
tagged a gun-nut redneck.
I felt angry about the name calling for months after the new gun laws were
proposed. These people didn't know me or the people I knew who did own semi-
automatic weapons. Everyone was just plonked into the same bin and labelled with the
same derogatory names that half of us don't identify with.
The term "redneck" is American and one that we were not familiar with until
the Prime Minister bandied it around in an effort to put down those who disagreed with
his plan. Not knowing exactly what it meant most people were unsure how to take this
"put down".
I know it made me feel uncomfortable and I only became more irate with the
establishment that initiated such a stupid, unnecessary and dangerous law.
One day I heard a Jeff Foxworthy tape called "You Might Be A Redneck
If....." and I laughed so much I cried. Here was an American Southern boy who was
always being put down for the way he talked and acted by his more "sophisticated"
Northern counterparts who poked fun at their more flamboyant countrymen and
affectionately called them rednecks for a variety of amusing and outrageous reasons.
All of this is amplified by the ability of the Southern people to make fun of themselves
with a sense of humour matched only by "real Australians" who are gradually
becoming a rare breed.
Howard's plot was to put down gun owners in an effort to make them out to be
a mob of two-bob short of a quid dissidents with sadistic intentions to blow away the
remaining population because of the non existant intellectual impairment they associate
with people who own guns.
But after I heard Jeff's tape I realised that intelligent, fun loving, people with a
good sense of humour learn to take snobbish insults with a grain of salt. Hell, they
even have fun with them, and turn it all around to mean something entirely different,
laughing at themselves and enhancing the accusations until they become the joke that
they really are.
The more I listened to Jeff the more I identified with his philosophy which
makes even the most conservative of us recognise redneck tendensies in our daily lives.
Instead of being insulted, we embrace our unique ability to laugh at ourselves, take on
board this scorn and turn it into a whole lot of fun. A talent that is lost on the boring,
politically correct, manipulated pawns of Parliament.
I began to embrace political incorrectness with a passion. Even had a Redneck
Games Party, doing it the Redneck way which I can guarantee you is more fun than the
great waste of money being channeled out of tax-payers for the tedious Sydney
Olympics. We threw Holden Hubcaps in the discus throwing, used bales of hay for the
spare tyre hurdle race and there wasn't a single horse drowned in the water polo.
I learned a very important lesson in discrimination. It really doesn't matter what
other people say about you - it only matters how it makes you feel. If you embrace
your beliefs with courage and a good sense of humour then the sticks and stones that
are thrown can tend to infuriate the assailant when having no affect on you.
Among the essential redneck traditions is a pair of flamingo statues on the front
lawn, a sure sign of a redneck residence. Mine are pink and I'm so proud of them.
They say "up yours, John Howard".

RECOGNISE YOUR POWER AND USE IT
Women are their own worst enemies! They constantly suffer ridicule and
mockery in the name of liberation yet do very little about it.
A moral society uplifts and cares for its inhabitants in an effort to make them
feel secure, happy and wanted. The decline of our principles in the last few decades
has proved beyond doubt that the system we trusted to protect our interests is instead
working to divide and alienate us against one another.
The most obvious evidence of this is the way our relationships are constantly
bombarded with challenges which are sometimes very hard to deal with. Being put
down by images that do not reflect reality, but instead make us feel inferior and
worthless, instills unnecessary pressure.
There was a time when the mystery between sexes was what attracted them to
each other and preceded a lifetime of adventure exploring these secrets.
Today the cat is out of the bag. There is no more mystery. We are constantly
being visually compared with actors the media typifies as average people but who, in
reality, few of us recognise and identify with. There is nowhere we can look anymore
without being reminded of our imperfections, such as our age, looks, dress, colour etc.
We know that we are intelligent, resourceful, rational, inventive, reasonable,
sensible creatures who pride ourselves on having feelings about what is right and
wrong. Yet, in these, so called, liberated times, we still give up our power to those
who want to denigrate our womanhood, belittle our pride, depreciate our attractiveness
and cause us to compete with the unrealistic, in order to make us feel self conscious.
But it's our own fault! What are we doing to curb this insidious put down? Are
you writing letters about the sex and violence on TV? Do you make your thoughts
known to the newsagents who display filthy books on their shelves? Are you protesting
against the meager sentences given to child molesters who watch and read this smut
and then play out their fantasies on innocent victims of rape and torture?
Are you aware and vocal about the damage these mushrooming casino's are
doing to people who desperately risk family wages in the hope of that elusive win? Are
you up in arms when some drugger bashes up a ninety year old in a nursing home to
get money for his daily fix? Do you encourage your children to participate in habits
like smoking and drinking by doing it in front of them? Alcohol, for instance, costs us
more lives, more crime, more imprisonment, more family break-ups and hospitalisation
than any other problem.
People who need these distractions are like children who are terrorising towns
at night pleading that they are "bored". If you can't find something better to do than
provide your children with a bad example then you deserve the kind of culture that is
escalating out of our tolerance for bad behaviour.
So what are you doing to protect the next generation against these plagues?
What to do? Complain about television quality. Burn all those filthy magazines.
Protest about the light sentences given to child molesters and monsters who bash old
people. Don't buy products that use provocative ads. Decide to give up smoking and
drinking in front of your children thus making it a habit which is just not acceptable.
And the next time you're walking along a beach with your boyfriend or family and a
topless sunbather ruins your day, tell her to get her sorry backside into a nudist club
where no one cares about her damn exhibitionism.
