I was inspired to write 'William Kamm the Fragmented Pebble' when I read “a WOLF among the SHEEP”, a biography of Australian cult leader William Kamm ( alias The Little Pebble ). I had wanted to learn more about the self-styled ecclesiastical leader, millionaire, would-be “pope”, “prophet”, and convicted child sex offender who was reported in the media fifty-seven times (q.v.) during the years leading up to his imprisonment in 2005. The synoptic coverage left a false preconception that all had been reported, and the story had ended. I followed these condensed media reports for seven years, gaining not one iota of background information behind Kamm, e.g., “...stockpiling weapons … in preparation for the Apocalypse” ^_1. the full extent of his adulterous activities; and paedophilic crimes. So troubled was I by the book’s revelations about Kamm’s destructive life that ...

Recently I expressed some of my opinions which were published on this web site, in two articles titled: 'Father's Views on the Imperialist Realpolitik in Iraq', and the "Jehovah's Witnesses". My opinions were censored by an inappreciable number of zealous advocates of 'Political Correctness', for my alleged 'derogatory' comments of 'persons', 'country', and 'religious affiliations'. 

The views, expressed in the article on the war in Iraq, were formed from information extrapolated from media reports, and the views on the ' Jehovah's Witnesses' were based, for the most part, upon quotations from their own publications; and passages from the Patristic literature. In both these situations the informations are on public record, privileged communication, and are, quite clearly, the bases for rational criticism of public figures, their activities and ideaologies in an acceptable, and ligitimate form of discourse. 

WELLSPRING OF 'POLITICAL
CORRECTNESS'.

I believe that 'Political Correctness' is reminiscent of the intellectual inactivity of the Dark Ages in western European history (476-800). Since the middle of last century, there has been an increasing radical retrocession, of the western collective mindset, the genesis of which first became apparent during the rapid diminishing of western culture to mass mediocrity driven by commercial interests, in marketing goods and services, though the principal media organizations in New York and Los Angeles. 

CULTURAL FRAGMENTATION.

During the decade of the second Indochina War (1965-1975) there arose the counter-culture, and the countermovements for nonconformity, and the separatists movements for 'black power', 'red power' and 'brown power', later to be followed by: women's "liberation", 'Movement for the Ordination of Women', and 'homosexual ("gay") liberation'. There also arose the cults and sects that had the effect of interpolating western culture with a variety of selected palatable elements from the exotic polytheistic cluster of Hinduism (Sanãtana Dharma) from the Indian subcontinent, and from some of the eastern ethical movements (Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism) from China, Tibet et al. And the re-emergence of pre-scientific, superstitious, or irrational, concepts and practises, v.g., shamanism, witchcraft, astrology et cetera. These and ...
