Ep #227: Australia's ANZAC Day Honours Those Who Fought and Died for Freedom

In this week's episode, I reflect on the importance of freedom, especially during this significant time around Anzac Day. I dive deep into why the ANZACs fought and why their sacrifices matter more than ever. I explore how freedom is under attack in many subtle and not-so-subtle ways: unreasonable laws, corrupt judges, government overspending, 15-minute cities, climate lies, bodily autonomy violations, and restrictions on free speech. I challenge you to think carefully about what freedom really means in your life and what happens when it is taken away.I explain why the ANZAC spirit — giving people a fair go — is fundamental to Australia’s culture, and how we must fight to preserve it. A "fair go" clearly relates to "fairness", and fairness is the word that most people use to describe "justice". I explore the challenges posed by questionable judicial systems that are failing to properly apply the rule of law leading to unjust, unfair, results. I also share reflections on Pope Francis’ problematic legacy and refer you to the important insights of Archbishop Carlo Vigano.I recommend a moving song, The Distant Call of Home, that ties beautifully into this theme of loss and courage.

A great place to start is this podcast episode by Dr Bryan Ardis: The Dr Ardis Show - Benefits of Nicotine.

If we don’t fight for it, who will? And if you lose your freedom, I say that to a large degree your life is destroyed. Visit Charles Kovess' website: charleskovess.comReach out to Charles via email: [email protected] more about Charles and this show: charleskovess.com/show-notes/Visit and subscribe to the YouTube channel: youtube.com/@CharlesBKovessCharles also supports the Forever Freedom Movement — visit foreverfreedommovement.com to learn how children trapped in trafficking can be aided. Intro/Outro music credit: Music by bensound.comLicense code: SVLGLBBT9BLK1ZT4
