Turnbull buries any free speech reform

Link SMH

It seems Turnbull doesn't believe what Andrew Bolt calls "free speech" is worthy of being called responsible speech. It’s Not Funny if it has no Insightful…

Bolt's argument might feel good  but it opens up a Pandora's box that allows vilification and abuse from the top down to be delivered under the guise of "free speech" without the equivalent power of those it's targeted to do the same. Andrew Bolt  is the example of why we shouldn't legislate to make him and others like him even worse. It's very hard to call the field equal when Bolt's masters control the direction and power of the distribution flow. 

"Why is it then that the likes of Abbott, Bolt, Jones, Brandis, Bernardi and others need to go beyond common decency, and defend others who cannot express themselves without degenerating into hate speech? The answer has nothing to do with an honourably noble sort of democratic free speech."

"Why does this demand for open slather free speech always come from the right of politics and society? They seem to have an insensitivity to common decency that goes beyond any thoughtful examination."

"They simply want the right to inflict hate, defame with impunity, insult, and promote bigotry if it suits their purpose. And behind that purpose can be found two words. Power and control."

 

 

Boat people repay our generosity

Link News Corp's Herald Sun

 Bolt's attempt to prove a correlation exists between refugees and doesn't hold water. In fact the opposite is the case it's more prevalent among Australian Nationals. The details of the case aren't revealed yet Bolt gives no interest in the circumstances.

"They are refugees? What chance they were going to assimilate?"

Bolt's question is actually  an accusation in the form of a generalization that is baseless with no facts to support it. Bolt could just as well have said Australian males under 25 are dangerous and he would have been closer to the mark. Bolt is a statistician's nightmare but an even worse human being.

 

 

 

Labor plays envy politics against Turnbull

Link Paywall to Murdoch's Australian

 "Labor wants to play the deadening politics of envy."

Bill Shorten has to account for his behavior of some 10 years back. He's expected to remember it with pinpoint accuracy. Questions however shouldn't be asked of Turnbull's investments when they are connected to the Cayman Islands which are a noted tax shelter. Questions shouldn't have been asked about Abbott's citizenship which in fact remain unanswered today. Bolt calls this the politics of envy. Was that what Bolt was playing when he was asking questions of Clive Palmer. This somehow smacks of Tribalism on Bolt's part. Questions can be asked of anyone but his tribe.

 

Pell vs Pope

Link Andrew Bolt Link Paywall to Murdoch's Australian.

The distortion The Pope never said the Church was an expert on science. However he never denied that the church didn't listened to science. Both the Pope and Pell are on the same page when it comes to scientific autonomy but not when it acts against fundamental church teachings such as abortion and euthanasia. Yet again Bolt distorts the  reality of the event to try to suggest there is massive disagreement within the Church particularly on Climate Change when there's not.

"In a statement ­released after the leaking of the letter, a spokesman for Cardinal Pell said: “There is strong agreement in the synod on most points but obviously there is some disagreement because minority elements want to change the church’s teachings on the proper dispositions necessary for the ­reception of communion. Obviously there is no possibility of change on this doctrine.”"

 

 

 

 

Jihadists attack in Israel

Andrew Bolt is the least reliable collector of cut and paste clippings of events because what he chooses to reveal isn't anything that disputes him. He does the same with the comments posted on his blog. He has used the term Jihadis so loosely it has no meaning. Jihadists are  everyone from the leftist press that have criticized Abbott to  Muslims who are so differentiated they really can't be so easily defined. Isn't it strange that a self proclaimed agnostic like Bolt knows more about Islam than Muslims do but he seems so ignorant and silent when it comes to tell the all in  Israeli politics. The Nazis also knew more about the Jews  than the Jews knew about themselves. That is the very nature of extreme fringe elements of either kind. Even though they are the voice of  extremes they are minorities who claim only they can access the truth. The truth about you personality, your family, your community, your faith and how you must conduct yourself. However they never stop to ask you anything.

   Israel under attack:  The country is not under attack.....it's not if so who? Bolt doesn't say.

  Whipped up by an imam brandishing a knife: Yes  Israeli Palestinians are angry ....why? Because the extreme right settlers have been getting away with murder.

  What horrors have we done that such nice people attack us? Really Bolt you have no idea why Palestinans  are so angry?

 

 

 

Mal brings Maxine to the light

How many people does it take when the polls tell us 56% are  in favor of Mal and only 19% against. Bolt said nothing which was a standout.

 

 

 

 

Putin: Obama has “mush for brains”

Link Powerline The secular version of the Unification Church the Conservative ezine the Reuplican Tea party love to read.

" Russian president Vladimir Putin has no respect for Obama, whose limitations have been so cruelly exposed by the war in Syria, now joined by Russia:" 

Like all Conservatives Bolt knows how to start wars. He knows how to criticize Obama. However he never offers a solution to the problem at hand. Has anybody seen bolt offer a solution? In fact he hasn't one other than more bombing even Iran which he was enthusiastic about some months back because Netanyahu was. For a man who hates Muslims so much he remains a man with no solution other than seperation. Which would mean handing the problems to Russia and allowing Assad to continue dominate the Syrian people.  Would Abbott have had a solution?  What was that about "mush for brains"?

 

 

 

Hillary hits hurdle

Link The Washington Times  It was founded in 1982 by the founder of the Unification Church, Sun Myung Moon. The political views of The Washington Times are often described as extremely conservative and .

Bolt is Anti- Muslim but gets his source material and truth from a crackpot religious sect. Who is going believe anything he has to say. From a crack pot church Bolt concludes

"No wonder Clinton’s campaign has hit a wall after once seeming unstoppable:"

 

 

 

Jabar’s ISIS connection

 Link Paywall to Murdoch's Australian

 "The fact is that free speech in any democratic system should be so valued, so profoundly salient, that any decent enlightened government should legislate to see that it is not abused. That it carries with it sacrosanct principles of decency that are beyond law and ingrained in the conscience of a collective common good.

After all the dignity of the individual (or individuals) within the collective is more important than some fools right to use freedom of speech to vilify another.
It says something about the moral sickness in our society when the right to abuse each other, in the name of free speech, needs to be enshrined in law." John Lord

Bolt is pro Russia and Assad who to date has killed 250,000 of his population and displaced or injured the other half. He is Anti- the Rebel Forces in Syria and especially ISIS who he wants crushed. Domestically he's been anti -Muslim no matter the sect. His media activity has provided the atmosphere that has allowed ISIS recruiters to flourish. He's provided the atmosphere that psychologically justifies young Muslim men and women to rebel. Meanwhile the mainstream media have provided little or no resistance nor has the government particularly under Tony Abbott. However we just might see that change. However will Bolt ever be charged for inspiring religious hatred?It’s Not Funny if it has no Insightful…

"One has to wonder why the so called defenders of free speech feel they are inhibited by what they have now. I don’t. I have never felt constrained in my thoughts or my ability to express them. I’m doing it now. But then I don’t feel a need to go beyond my own moral values of what is decent to illuminate my thoughts.
Why is it then that the likes of Abbott, Bolt, Jones, Brandis, Bernardi and others need to go beyond common decency, and defend others who cannot express themselves without degenerating into hate speech? The answer has nothing to do with an honourably noble sort of democratic free speech.
Why does this demand for open slather free speech always come from the right of politics and society? They seem to have an insensitivity to common decency that goes beyond any thoughtful examination.
They simply want the right to inflict hate, defame with impunity, insult, and promote bigotry if it suits their purpose. And behind that purpose can be found two words. Power and control." John Lord

 

Justice for the tribe should not trump justice for the individual

Bolt's a man who isn't in the business of" a fair go " unless it's for him. He however is in the business of stifling progress. Since when have men and women been a tribe? After all Bolt mocks feminists.  What's their tribal culture Andrew Bolt ?

 Obviously Bolt apparently doesn't want his daughter to have an education equivalent of  men . However 60% of our university campuses are now made of  women in all degrees except engineering and that's also fast changing why shouldn't that be reflected in the work place. No Bolt fails to see this as a cost benefit for the whole community but regressive. Then logic dictates that educated women are a cost the community must bear.  The recommendation is not for a 60% change but only 40% which is fairer than if the situation were reversed. 

 Bolt  has no regard for the opportunity it provides him with to become the house husband he always wanted to be.  He once was a kept man in Darwin he could apply for the job of the belly dancer now.  The one he once  lied about when he declared himself his girlfriend's minder to hide the fact she was supporting him. What a stupid man Bolt is calling the Chairman of Transfield a Tribalist. Bolt there is equality of sacking that needs respect and that's a board decision made by all directors the constitution of which is gender-less unless dominated by your tribe of course.

" Here is a perfect example of a collectivist treating individuals unjustly in the name of justice for their tribe:"

 

Essential poll - Government just ahead

No celebration on Bolt's part Rupert wants an early election but he hates Turnbull. Morrison is their man.

 

 

 

Turnbull cannot dodge the truth about Islam-motivated violence

Link Paywall to Murdoch's Australian Paul Kelly Link Herald Sun

 

Dr Franz Fanon was a psychiatrist who said he was unable to begin practicing psychiatry in French Colonial Algeria as long as Algeria remained a colony of France. A revolution was needed first to rid Algerians of a colonial mentality that demeaned them as individuals before he had any opportunity of practicing real medicine.

For the past two years there has been a powerful narrative of hate coming from our media and Bolt represents this extreme. The MSM do nothing to counter it. The malignment of Islam has been allowed to seep into the wider community and target young kids who otherwise see themselves as Australians but are told in the schoolyards the media and the community in general that they are not. It's why Bolt's vilification creates a air that that gives oxygen to ISIS propaganda. It makes it believable and even comforting for those having the shit kicked out of them. Whether it's true or not it doesn't matter it's felt. Bolt's message  is delivered from the top down. The few kids who "tilt" don't do it for religious reasons nor do they do it because they are insane.  Psychologically it's a natural response to the hatred poured on them and confusion felt hearing the message promoted by the Bolt's of this world and their place in it. It in fact makes no sense to young minds who feel otherwise. 

For more than 2 years Bolt has been spreading the word of Abbott that Muslims by the nature of their faith are not Australian and can never be Australian as they have the seeds of evil within.This bigotry soft or hard seeps into our community and has young Australians wonder why they aren't wanted. Bolt is putting out Fanon's colonial message from the top disparaging people's very existence and their right to life in Australia the total opposite of a "fair go" in which we take pride. Bolt has the technology to amplify his message across society with MSM not doing much to stop him and with the government doing nothing. Maybe a change is coming with Abbott gone.

However what else can you expect from the extreme right who have seen this as a positive political position since the Howard government. They hide what has become a complex issue  and deliver it as a pure and simple message of Muslims your not wanted you don't do enough. Their politicaly inspired rhetoric and the reaction it attracts can't be seen as primarily religious it's not it may have an element in it in the same way Bolt declaring we are Judeo Christian has. It's why Farhad's response can be seen as primarily political and not religious or mad. To Dr Franz Fanon it's a natural psychological response to the vilification of their identity by people like Andrew Bolt.

What else can you expect   from the News Corp and the Herald Sun's headline  calling moderate Australians Liars. They need to turn attention away from a complex issue which if examined closely would reveal their complicity in their war of terror against a group of Australians who happen to be Muslim into a message of divisive hatred. To suggest Farhad committed cold blooded act or even a religiously inspired act are both too simple. It was definitely an act  of suicide that needs an explanation that that shines a light on the active participation of News Corp and Andrew Bolt's mind set in assisting it's passage. They need to be actively prosecuted under Section 18 C for vilification.It’s Not Funny if it has no Insightful…

If Shorten’s deal was above board, why the dodgy invoices?

Link Paywall to Murdoch's Australian

"That said, it should be added that the deal was good for workers, even if it sold out hypothetical conditions. " Bolt  this is the very last thing Bolt has to say on the matter but really hopes we don't read it. It's his legal get out clause because even he and his lawyers know he's lying.

Andrew Bolt in respect of justice and theatrics put a black cloth on his head when saying this to impress his readers.

" I find it impossible to believe Shorten’s I-know-nothing defence:" Bolt

Bolt totally ignores anything Shorten has to offer despite saying it was a good deal for the workers and members of the union

 “As I’ve said since I appeared at the royal commission, I did not strike any agreement of the nature which you are raising, full stop,” Bill Shorten

If the devils in the detail does Andrew Bolt care if he distorts what would otherwise get in his way of bringing Bill Shorten down? Justice by a vigilante press is no justice at all. This was Tony Abbott's strategy in the first place to have a $63mill Royal Commission provide his media arm News Corp with material to run a media campaign against the ALP for the full term of his government.

Bill Shorten began the negotiations with TJH he didn't iron out the details. There is nothing unusual in that nor has it been denied. However does Andrew, loose with the facts, Bolt's banner reflect this? Not at all!! This blog is neither News nor a commentary it's simply a free ad for the LNP and should be treated as such.  It's an undeclared running donation to the LNP.

" Mr Shorten’s office and his lawyers before the commission are claiming that he was not involved in the final stages of the negotiations for the EastLink EBA and the “side deal"…"
