Andrew Bolt's Blog, 7/9/15; Bolt wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire; Abbott stole the FTA; Don't cry for Aylan say's Bolt arrest his father; More Moronic Bolt logic; Christians only is not Tribal; Armed guards for Bolt he's scared; Trump Poll; Julie Bishop Why?
Coming from News Corp a commentator writing for the least trusted media corporation in the country and working along side the government is beyond a joke. Bolt who claims to be and Agnostic Humanist reveals himself for what he really isn't a sceptic or critical thinker who believes in moral relativism and the agency of mankind. Simply put he's quite the reverse a hypocrite who believes news ought be little more than Hansard like or a stenographer's report on government activity. The very opposite of the qualities he claims to favor and support.
Any responsible critical thought which is the nature of investigation and reporting of an independent media from government Bolt calls propaganda which is in fact the opposite. What Bolt calls responsible reporting for Bolt is not independant at all but simply a tool of government. That is propaganda. Questioning is the basis of being rational agnostic and humanist everything Bolt is not.
Bolt's commentary does not emerge from gathered information and facts but rather manufactured information and facts designed or created to make commentary convincing. That's propaganda.
To quote Tony Abbott he said if you want good media you need to provide good government if you don't provide good government don't expect good media.
Bolt declares he's a Conservative Agnostic which is in many ways a contradiction terms. As a conservative his
political philosophy favors tradition (in the sense of various
religious, cultural, or nationally-defined beliefs and customs) in the
face of external forces for change, and is critical of any proposals for
radical social change. However Agnostics generally believe that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God
or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither
faith nor disbelief in God. They fall among sceptics doubters and non believers which is hardly Bolt at all.
Bolt also claims to be a rationalist yet eschews scientific method as a source of knowledge claiming it to be little more than another religious faith when it comes to climate change. He also argues for moral absolutes and opposes relativism. It explains why he is so anti- multiculturalism and pro assimilation. Yet he claims to be a humanist who generally prefer critical thinking which he rails against associating it with leftist dogma. Humanists values the agency of human beings both individually and collectively over established doctrines or faiths where as argues the reverse.
He is rather an evolutionist stuck in a 19th century belief that our social fabric is like organisms inherently improving itself through inherited and progressive change over time the belief that by and large with social engineering and policing we are evolving for the better both socially and culturally. That a natural order has evolved and does exist. Bolt clearly knows what's wrong and what's right and the Pope of 2.2 billion Catholics is wrong and Tony Abbott is right. There are 9 Catholics in Cabinet. How many parishes are there in Australia?
" The Vatican’s two parishes would take in two refugee families ”in the coming days”, he said, setting an example for more than 50,000 other parishes across the continent."
Firstly Bolt calls this the dying of Christianity and second his maths is base on families of 5. Why for convenience or just maximization?
The fact is the majority of refugees Bolt talks of making their way leaving land farms and houses behind aren't in fact moving. There are 28 member countries in the EU that's 18,000. A number less than Australia has promised. But then again Bolt is panicking about that number which Australia has promised.
Bolt is the persistent scare monger it's why he has armed guards and disregards the following:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,"
"The quality of mercy is not strained "

" Having been refused visas and unable to travel by plane, the family had
embarked on a desperate and fateful bid to reach relatives in Canada.
They weren’t fleeing ISIS, and they certainly weren’t fleeing the Syrian
Arab Army. If they were fleeing persecution and organized murder of
Syrians and Kurds inside Turkey, then it hasn’t been reported by the
media."
Bolt make little mention of the fact that Abbott's generosity is at the expense of others and over the next three years. Had the ALP done this it would have been heralded as a Clayton's offer. The offer one makes when not making an offer. As Bolt showed during the Ebola scare he suffers from Moral Inertia.
Bolt's logic and lies simply show him to be a kicking and screaming anti- Muslim.
The Jews were once stateless but they were nevertheless citizens with passports. However we said they deserved support if they wanted allowed to come to Australia. Post war economic refugees. Syrian Kurds are stateless also but are denied citizenship in Syria and are unable to become citizens of Turkey or Iraq. They are by no means religious fundamentalists and have no sectarian motivations. They are fighting against ISIS for themselves and us. They are allies and fight in Australia's interests yet Andrew Bolt turns his back on Kurds because they are Muslim. Of course he has an excuse that they aren't registered as or official refugees. They can't be because officially they are stateless and without passports despite being Syrian in the case of the Kurdi family. The crap Bolt writes about wanting a dentist is simply a distortion and shows he doesn't offer truth but a smokescreen.
Bolt's notion of the "invasion" of EU is a fabrication what is a logistical processing problem he calls an invasion. Running out of moral reasons to stop humanitarian aid Bolt simply turns to a numbers game and like bent cop selects countries for the sole purpose of making Australia and Abbott look generous. He could say Panama or Jamaica aren't taking refugees so aren't we great. The issue isn't about who is or isn't doing anything in this crisis it's what's needed to be done and why. Bolt always believes in going Dutch or just look after yourself. He is the man not to turn to in an emergency. However if it's his he'd demand help. He's bystander who simply spends energy justifying his moral by saying I'm not the only one or blaming others. He wouldn't piss on you if you caught fire.
"Australia is taking in more than many other countries think wise."

China FTA was started by the ALP and was in the throes of completion when Abbott put pen to paper and claimed it as his own. It's what he tried to do when claiming Wayne Swan's success as the success of the Liberal government and calling any ALP action a failure. In other words Abbott hasn't done a thing other than play politics and try to claim the political high ground. The misuse of 457 visas by corrupt businesses is entrenched yet the coalition is telling us it's doing well and any problems with it are Labor's.
Why are the Chinese mega dairies wanting to import Chinese labor to run them? Is it because we are unskilled in dairy farming? Is it because they need plumbers, electricians and carpenters to run them? I don't think so. It's because this goverment has bent over forwards and said do what you want.
The lie being sold is
"But the problem for Labor is the ferocious anti-ChAFTA campaign being
run by the unions, particularly the CFMEU, who strongly back Shorten’s
leadership. The ACTU is telling MPs to kill ChAFTA."
The ALP aren't against ChAFTA they commenced it all Abbott did was sign. They do however want to ensure that Australians will have job opportunities which currently isn't guaranteed or have jobs threatened . As for the mega- dairies have jobs been lost in their creation? Will jobs be created? It's a fair question to ask and it's not just political grandstanding which Abbott is doing.

" Bishop says taking in more Syrian refugees is indeed “under
consideration”, without saying how many of those four million she has in
mind."
Bolt's bullshit 4 mill refugees are not looking to come here or the West. However Bolt wants you to think they are.
" You see, Aylan was not in “harm’s way”. He was not a refugee. His family was not fleeing danger." Bolt
What
Bolt fails to tell you the Kurdi's were a stateless family and had no
papers. They weren't citizens of any country as they were Syrian Kurds from Kobani
and had fled to Turkey to escape the ISIS takeover of their town. They were second class people in Turkey they watched along with the rest of the world their town of
Kobani destroyed some 6 months ago. They had nothing to their name but relatives in
Canada
Bolt won't
tell you that. Without passports they couldn't be officially
registered as refugees you need papers to be recognised. It was the
only thing keeping them from being accepted to Canada. They were paperless Kurds
without a country much like the Jews who however did have passports.
Bolt goes out of his way to support the Jews but with equivalent energy
denies the Syrian Kurds and calls them "illegals"

Abbott has had a moral melt down for the sake of Canning he's offered a faux increase in humanitarian aid. He's increased the intake of
Syrians not Kurds who are our allies in the war against ISIS. However the
increased intake is at the expense of others. By any other name it's really a
Clayton's increase. A humanitarian increase when you don't want a real
humanitarian increase. We won't be seeing any Rohingya here in the near
future.
" First: whatever Australia does to its emissions will actually make no practical difference to global warming."
Coming from the mouth of a Nationalist who denies we are part of a
global community and therefore denies the concept of global science and
would prefer the term planet wiped from the dictionary.
"Second: satellite data shows the atmospheric temperature has in fact not risen by any significant amount for 18 years now."
Bolt's made a significant shift from telling us the planet has been cooling for 18 years to a hiatus and now it's has not risen by much. There is no dynamic in Bolt's approach to science. Global science tells us that the man made warming that has progressed since industrialisation has been slowly accelerating and will continue to do so at a greater rate unless we do something. The science is not static as Bolt presents it.
"Third: Even the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change accepts there have actually been fewer cyclones and not stronger ones over the past century, which suggests Cyclone Pam is unrelated at all to global warming."
This also as a prediction is based on the fact of not doing things to allay the acceleration of warming and the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere the forward progress and acceleration of warming has commenced and is like a boulder beginning it's downhill journey. Deceleration is dependent on reducing the CO2 by taking coal and other fossil fuels out of the equation.
"Fourth: 80 per cent of coral reef islands in the Indian and Pacific oceans have grown in size or stayed stable. Tuvalu’s main atoll has gained 32 hectares in the past 115 years. Parts of Kiribati have also grown, and it’s flooding had more to do with inappropriate development and Cyclone Pam, not global warming."
Bolt's non global arguments carry no weight to say the planet is not warming is a global statement yes but to say proof is that it's been cold in Melbourne this winter isn't. The same can be said of the fact that the rise in oceans on a global scale is not denied that it has not happened in Tuvalu. Simply you doctor can tell you have HIV but Bolt's denial I can't see it and I feel great today so fuck off.
Proof of Bolt's stupidity
" In short, this story’s claims about rising seas and worse cyclones
devastating Pacific islands which Australia could save from runaway
global warming are false in every respect."

The Tribalist call
that Bolt constantly lies when he denies it. Too embarrassed to say it
himself he elects others to do it for him. The selective Samaritan who
really is a hypocrite.
"The federal government announced in March that 54 schools at risk of
attack or violence stemming from racial or religious intolerance would
receive a share of $18 million to improve security.
The big
winners were 17 Jewish schools and 15 Islamic schools, who were able to
access the funds to hire security guards and install CCTV cameras."
"Mount Scopus was not able to access these federal funds for their armed guards, which will be supplied by a private firm."
Is
it a coincidence Bolt wants to make it sound as if only Jewish schools
are under threat? who has raised the banner of hate media more than News
Corp and within the hive more than Bolt and Devine?
"Some newspapers now have armed guards, too. We have made ourselves less safe."
Bolt fails to mention which newspapers and why he has armed guards and for how long, "operational matters" of course. The $18 mill expense to us the tax payers is due to the provocation stirred up by the likes of News Corp and 2GB
Bolt
loves insanity and just flaunts the day to day power of News Corp.
Murdoch certainly realized the power of media and it's influence. His
reach today is 37% of America. 67% of Australia and I don't know how
much of UK. However he wants the BBC broken up the ABC diminished and
and a greater US spread.
Murdoch
doesn't like Trump because he's a wild card amongst the Republicans, a
non politician whose unpredictable. However Fox News gives Trump the
greatest air time of all candidates and rating wise of mutual benefit.
Ratings spell $$$. What we see is a media Frankenstein in the making of
it's monster.
