GEORGE FLOYD: 'OUR' ABC INVITES RACE WAR TO AUSTRALIA

ABC presenters are pouring petrol on Australia by peddling wildly exaggerated claims on Aboriginal deaths in custody and hailing "our own" George Floyd. How utterly, utterly reckless. And false. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

1h ago 
 Dungay is one of at least 432 Aboriginal deaths in custody since the royal commission in 1991, the Guardian’s latest analysis shows. There have been at least five deaths since Guardian Australia updated its Deaths Inside project in August 2019, two of which have resulted in murder charges being laid.( The Guardian)

Andrew Bolt is the face of Fox News and Murdoch in Australia. Our ABC doesn't "invite race war to Australia". Race war is here and has been here for 200 years. 431 deaths in custody since the last Poyal Commission Bolt says is wildly exaggerated to draw people in and subscribe to his denial and fake news. However, when examined Indigenous Australians are only 3% of the population.  So if all things were equal one could expect thousands upon thousands of white people to have died in custody too. Not the case. Indigenous Australians, not Indigenous peoples worldwide are the exception. They are also the most incarcerated people on the planet per head of population 27% of those held and not just the most Indigenous peoples. All this is exaggerated according to the Dutchman.

 Bolt's not Australian he's a Dutchman and shows his colours in his inability to face any historic truths, The Dutch hid what they did to their Jewish pop during WW2 for 40 years. They presented themselves as heroes and taught as much in their schools. Yes, it took 40 years but Israeli statistical investigations showed Dutch history was bullshit. The Dutch had killed or transported to the labor camps 80% of their Jewish population. They killed more Jews than the Germans and all was hidden for 40 years. Even today people like Andrew Bolt whose origins are Aalsmeer the most notorious Dutch town for killing and transporting innocent people will try to say it's exaggerated. Here is Andrew Bolt true to form declaring the ABC liars when they are reporting statistical fact and no accusing Indigenous Australians as simply "exaggerating".   

GREEN IS THE COLOUR OF HYPOCRISY

Janet Albrechtsen on another moralising hypocrite: "David Williamson... denounced international travel as a climate travesty, and in the next breath recounted his planned trip to Germany to retrace Johann Sebastian Bach’s life, followed by a few weeks in Provence to enjoy lazy days with friends."

  The Global Science of Climate Change is a macro study of the planet. Just as is lung Cancer is an epidemiological one. A  probability of connection between Lung Cancer and smoking has been declared found and of course, denied by those profiting from tobacco. In much the same way ac connection between the rise of CO2 in the planets atmosphere and the warming of the planet has been found and denied by the fossil fuel industries.
 Some people try denying science all together Bolt's tried. He's called it a religion, opinion largely because what he said in the past has been proved false the planet isn't cooling. So in a corner they have since backed off that approach although Bolt has somewhat but nowhere to go has deemed Climate Change a religion. 
However, more energy goes into attacking the man. Those that promote the notion. David Williamson being one. Ignoring the science altogether and attacking Williamson is akin to attacking a scientist who declares smoking causes lung cancer but still smokes a fraud. It takes someone with the IQ of a brick to suggest you can't do both and if you do then the science is wrong. One is a micro event the other a macro event and Bolt seems to demand a perfect symmetry between both. It's not new but it seems Bolt can't find anything better argument or anything to call news and subscription.

'Trump lit the match': Fires outside the White House as nation rages

The US capital is a city transformed, jolted out of its coronavirus slumber by an adrenaline shot of righteous rage.

Then the White House's exterior lights turned off, plunging the country's glowing symbol of democracy into darkness.
And what of the President? Donald Trump was almost certainly watching the destruction unfold on television inside? The nation heard nothing from him, not even a tweet, as the fires burnt and the helicopters circled and the pepper spray flowed.

Police cleared the protesters out before midnight, but many vowed to return a day later. America's latest long, hot and angry summer is only just beginning.

"Who can I blame that's not black? Oh, ANTIFA they are white, educated, lefties, who don't buy guns or commit mass-shootings but don't vote for me and have put me in my bunker. I'll blame them for terrorising me" along with Robert Di Niro and the Governors

Records show the majority of arrests made in Minneapolis during the riots were NOT from other states as Trump tweeted. His was the FAKE NEWS. Riots didn't escalate but progress was in fact made after the second night of unrest and that police and protester in fact bonded with arresting officers. It would appear it's Trump who's beating the fake drum.

 
Even in Washington itself officers and protesters kneeled together in unity and respect for George Floyd. Any wonder Trump took to his bunker.

GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS: JOHN HINDERAKER ON THE INSANITY OF THE LEFT

John Hinderaker of the Power Line blog says blaming Donald Trump for the race riots demonstrates "the insanity that has gripped a number of people on the American Left". We talked on The Bolt Report.

Yes, Andrew Bolt with no ideas of his own brings back John Hindraker of the right-wing Ezine Power Line. why? It would be too obvious to speak to anyone at Fox News, wouldn't it? Obviously, these two have clearly made up their minds on the law and order issue and the lack thereof to arrest and charge a policeman for murder. 

Australia suffers from the same fate and the likelihood of dying in custody if Indigenous or being incarcerated is of the planet. To have anyone arrested charged and found guilty unheard of. Indigenous Australians are the worlds most incarcerated people 27% yet only 3% of the nation. It's a statistic Andrew Bolt has always deemed deserved because since invasion day their culture has lead them astray such they simply haven't accepted their fate but rather stood in the way. 

Insanity has gripped "a number" of people from the left. Note the number is not specified but it amounts to MILLIONS of Americans.

THIS IS THE RACE RIOT THE LEFT CREATED

This is not about "justice for George Floyd". No one is giving justice a chance. This is instead the race riot that the Left has spent years whipping up. My editorial from The Bolt Report.

3h ago 

400 years a civil war and public demonstrations over and over again and Andrew Bolt says "give justice a chance". In Australia, hundreds of Indigenous Australians 431 since 1991 have been killed in custody with nobody charged and Bolt a right-wing ventriloquist dummy echo's, again and again, "give justice a chance".  However not so when it came to George Pell. There is no room for righteous anger accepted from the left or against the ruling elite. However, it's fully accepted in the other direction from a highly militarized force over-equipped to gas stun and shoot a crowd. Even if it's one only equipped with the idea that justice hasn't and isn't going to be done because it wasn't last time or the many times before that and so they have no expectation that it will be done this time. It's why you see people of 3-4 generations not just one demonstrating. Trump's words demonstrated that as did the actions of police and they were there for business even feeling free to target the press.

The statement that "outsiders" started the violence was proven wrong when the 240 arrests turned out to be locals. Trump was looking for someone to blame but he knew they couldn't be black or the police so his patsies became the state governors and his mythical enemy called Antifa. All America is Antifa all America is Anti-Fascist for Christ's sake except for Trump and the GOP. Andrew Bolt is their Fascist Murdochian voice in Australia.
Let's face it Bolt got glittered pranked and he then attempted to return that prank with what appears to be GBH and he crowed about it for days later. George Columbaris did far less and was charged and proven guilty in our courts. That's an example of Bolt giving justice a chance.

"Insanity outside the White House": After Trump stokes tensions, police and protestors clash

and

Why white silence is deafening — and deadly

Most white people I know believe that black lives matter. They will tell you they voted for Obama twice. They cannot stand Donald Trump. They are enraged by police brutality. These are the white people I want to speak to: Your anger and sadness about the big things are meaningless if you choose to do nothing about the small things you have control over.
 Actions matter. Don't just talk, act. Check out the actions that white people have already compiled for their peers. What I want to do here is draw your attention to similarities between three very mundane actions of white people that perpetuate modern-day lynching without requiring a knee on the neck, a chokehold, or a loaded gun. These types of everyday actions of white people make it difficult for my community to breathe.
 
1. The failure to humanize black people. 
 
2. The automatic presumption of guilt. 

3. The assumption that white people are inherently better.

Hundreds protest police killing of unarmed Palestinian in Jerusalem

Israelis and Palestinians take to the streets to protest police violence, drawing parallels between the killing of Iyad Hallak in J'lem and George Floyd in Minneapolis.

There is no parallel unless one admits American blacks live their lives in an even larger open-air prison than Palestinians do today. It's an economic cultural and psychological jail in which white see as free and meritorious. Afro Americans are also over-policed, over-charged, and over= incarcerated while being under-employed. They suffer far more medical stress and less access to health services than any other groups except possibly indigenous Americans. Americans might insist to be colour blind but racism is so ingrained in their Culture and psyche it's not just denied but unseen.

Yet no matter the class, education, or even nationality if black in America it's difficult to breathe and we saw it with Trump's birtherism of Obama and now the current riots in over 30 American cities today. If Obama and Oprah were on the streets today they find it difficult not to be treated for anything other than their blackness. Whites are in those crowds but not getting the same attention.

When leaders throughout history confronted such intense protests leaders that listened and brought about change were praised those that simply increased policing failed. Trump has failed in every each way even using force badly.

CORONAVIRUS: TRUMP'S US DOES BETTER THAN EUROPE

Trump derangement syndrome buries the truth. Chris Mitchell: "Journalists need to re-examine the facts of the pandemic. They might start by admitting the US has done much better than western Europe. The US has six times the population of the UK but only 2½ times the death rate."

Unlike the UK America has Natural Social Distancing Space. Fucking about with numbers to polish the facts is not a source of News but an apology for Trump. The fact is what do this Murdochians mean by "Western Europe" and then immediately slide to the UK a population-dense nation. There is no hiding the fact that the US with all it's space lead the world in numbers and deaths. The EU has a greater population than the USA 500M to 350M. Fudging figures to fit is what Chris Mitchell needs to stop doing. Remember the days when Mitchell and Bolt called each other bullshit artists. They were closer to the truth back then.

GEORGE FLOYD AND THE US RACE RIOTS: BE WARNED

Australia's leading press racist Andrew Bolt claims he is colour blind yet attacks coloured Australians with energy exclusive to Andrew Bolt calling them all "racists". If someone has a hint of colour and a complaint they're racists according to Bolt.

 He says he had a best friend once when at school who was black. He certainly hasn't a colour blind memory then has he? However, we have never heard what happened to that ex-best friend and what he thinks of Andrew Bolt today? That best friend was dragged up as if a myth and relegated to a once unproven history that Bolt spins and has proven to be his fantasy more than once.

The fact is Racism exists in Australia and Bolt insists the means to eradicate it is to simply ignore, deny it. But don't for a whitewashed Christ sake speak up and expect to change anything. Bolt, after all, wants to breathe.

If it wasn't so tragic, it would be laughable: the political brigands in North America and Europe are fuming, spitting and rolling their eyes upwards towards the ceiling. They are pointing fingers in all directions, shouting incoherently "China!", "Russia!", "Venezuela and Cuba!", "Iran!"; "You, You, YOU!".
China and Russia are quietly building a new world, which includes brand new infrastructure, factories and entire neighborhoods for the people. Hospitals are being constructed, and so are universities, parks, concert halls and public transportation networks. Both countries are doing all this quickly and noiselessly, and with great determination. And despite sanctions and embargos, they never shout back at the salivating, angry mouths of the Western gurus of brainwashing.

 White people should acknowledge they DO have privilege & life IS easier for them. Only then world’s racial wounds can be healed

White privilege doesn’t mean white people don’t suffer, but, given all other factors are equal, a white person will have an easier time than a person of color in a society shaped by white supremacy for many generations.My ancestors came to Australia as prisoners, and some almost certainly would have played some role in the genocide against the people who’d been living here for more than 65,000 years before them. And now I live in a society that is dominated by whiteness, and I’ve benefited from that. I’ve never had cause to fear for my life in the presence of a police officer, in fact I’ve never hesitated to call them if I’ve needed their help. I had an easy youth because my parents came from the race that has been favored by generations of white supremacist policies in Australia. Media I consumed growing up consistently featured people who were the same color as me, consistently feeding me through my formative years the message that I can accomplish anything I want in life. I’ve gotten jobs because I understand the subtleties of white culture enough to know how to speak and dress for different interviews, and because I had many white contacts (it’s not what you know, it’s who you know). There are people who pay attention to my words today who wouldn’t give them as much respect if they appeared next to a profile picture with dark skin. There are many other advantages I’ve had that I can’t even know about, since I’ve never lived a day in brown skin.

News Corp Australia 'totally challenged' by shrinking revenue, declining Foxtel

With classified advertising "rivers of gold" long gone and Foxtel struggling to survive against multinational streaming giants, Peter Ryan looks at whether News Corp has a future in Australia.

He refused to say how many staff would be axed, despite speculation that between 650 and 1,000 will go.

 Why Sky after dark have been screaming "back to work" their jobs are at risk

 This month, News Corp posted a $1.1 billion loss for the March quarter, dragged down in Australia by the cable TV business Foxtel, which has seen the plug temporarily pulled on its once-wealthy sports broadcasting model due to COVID-19 restrictions on large events.

The original idea was that Foxtel would be the cash cow to finance the newspapers in Australia but, of course, Foxtel is in steep decline, it has huge borrowings and very reduced advertising and is in a diabolical state.
 "I would think that as soon as he passes, that there would be a push to reassess the Australian operations and whether they want to be in Australia or not."

 The American Civil War really accomplished nothing it seems even as far North as New York. What we see here is not just Striker expressing Amy's side of things but a true New York KK Klanner and anti-Semite who starts his response with blaming the Jewish Press wrapping his right to be a racist with 3 three examples of why Blacks deserve everything they get in his multicultural city of 10 mill. He's even joined by 2 supporting commentators one who suggest Blacks in Central park are even more suspicious if they claim to be "birdwatchers" and carrying dog biscuits. Simply put these arsewipes justify poor white Amy's reaction to Cooper simply on the basis of his colour and yes that's Racism

Statistics are freely and loosely quoted here as well but they certainly don't relate to crimes committed by black Americans against the white population of NY, do they? Hispanic or American doesn't matter to Striker being black is the single most significant factor as far as he's concerned and it's the key-based only on arrests but not on convictions. It certainly has Striker showing us the face of Racist NY.

DEAR DAN ANDREWS: COULD YOUR CHINA INITIATIVE ACTUALLY KILL?

Terry McCrann to Premier Dan Andrews: "It is of course purely coincidental that the virus erupted... in Europe in the one major country that had signed up for your same Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with China and in the exact region which had developed the greatest ‘China partnership’ with some half-a-million resident Chinese expatriates."

McCrann show's just what China hate means and how irrational he is as an economist. McCrann somehow suggests if the EU stopped tourism isolated and locked down they might have avoided COVID or what he, in the best of Trumpian terms, declares is the China virus. However, his is a wild shot that totally dismisses the fact that his best country in the world and head office USA has actually the global record holder on deaths and spread without the numbers of Chinese tourists passing through the country. Nor can McCrann stomach the thought that Victoria has been the most successful economic state in this country since the LNP took over Federally despite the LNP withholding funds promised. People have rushed to be here in the hope of catching the excess of success caught here.

Yes, Bolt is doing his best and fails to mention the whole of Norway has a pop of  Melb and that social distancing comes naturally to them particularly when the virus was encountered in the middle of Winter and into Spring. It's easy to say that one might probably "have achieved the same effect – and avoid part of the unfortunate repercussions – by not closing.".What Bolt doesn't reveal is why Stoltenberg felt the need to make the comment in the first place.  

Norway had a very low infection rate before the lockdowns had occurred she noted.

"If we manage to lift the most restrictive measures without the spread of infection growing over the summer, behavioural changes and weather changes from the autumn onwards could still cause the balance to shift so that the infection again increases," it said. 

There remains more ifs and mights that Bolt chooses not to reveal.
