Andrew Bolt's Blog,12/11/15; Economically speaking Bolt is a waste of space; Bolt sets Julie Bishop up with innuendo and comments; Bolt, Nazi and the UPF go well together; bolt's happy to ensure company righte but not citizen rights; Socializing Coal but not cars or ships; Thugs and Morons; Ultra Racist Andrew Bolt; No experts in the Media only trust; Same old same old "dont tax the rich"

 

 


Hurt feelings cannot be a reason to close down debate

" Why is holding another opinion unlawful? Why can someone prevent debate simply by telling a court they’ve taken offence to that opinion? How did politicians come to pass such an abominable law?" 

So here we are again Bolt calling for the right to say whatever it is he wants. Bolt believes he has the right to campaign for violence against gays, pedophilia, what ever it is he wants. He has the right to broadcast to whoever he wants even children. For Bolt media space unlike advertising space carries no responsibility even in a civilized society.  For an advocate of his own freedom he sure as hell does a lot of complaining about the freedom of others to say what they will. However if it's acceptable to  regulate advertising  when does false opinion, false information and propaganda fall into advertising?

 

If Turnbull won’t cut spending, he will certainly raise taxes

Bolt  seems to do little more than cut and paste other peoples work to his own. Largely the work of other News Corp personnel.  Bolt's collaboration little more than the banner this one is a repeat from 2 days ago with just a slight change to the banner. But it's the work of Terry McCrann. The one below is the same. Bolt's actual output is very small if you take a close look and rarely informative. Anyway he merely asks for an austerity package cut spending and cut taxes. If you can't have both cut the taxes of the wealthy to give them incentive. It's basically the myth that the rich drive the economy. Unfortunately they don't their wealth which in the main is inherited produces an income from capital gains and rent and not productive growth. Borrowing and an investment in jobs  the future of our kids is the  only way to stimulate growth. At the moment our kids may not find full time work for a possible 5 years. Does Bolt want to ensure that becomes 10? They are the generation of spenders and the future Andrew Bolt at 56 certainly isn't even if he is in the top2% and he produces nothing but hot air.

 

 

Bishop’s chief of staff involved in anti-Abbott coup

Link Paywall to the Australian.

Oh Bolt, an "unnamed source", a leak  8 weeks after the event. With the polls the way they are 53:47 the LNP  can't give two hoots as to what happened way back then to Tony who? As Peter Costello said the party is only interested in " winners" and Abbott's s loser. You can't make a silk purse out of him. Julie Bishop is a "winner" as is Turnbull. Wave your flag, Bolt, blow your horn but Tony's dead meat as is Eric.

" I’m not surprised some Liberals are demanding answers:" says Bolt. All rumours, all smoke but no fire. Who is murmuring remains unknown. However guess who Bolt uses to help fuel it. Eric Abetz is the "some Liberals" the reference Bolt uses.  Isn't Abetz the man alleged to have protected Damien Mantach all the way to  Victoria allowing him to rob us  blind?

"“I was able to be in touch with so many people that I was able to conclude the view on the Monday morning that the prime minister had lost the confidence of the majority of his cabinet and a majority of his party room, and then I saw him immediately and informed him of that...”"Julie Bishop

This is just another case where Andrew Bolt shows he's prepared to believe the word of ISIS before any Australians he's choosen not to like. Bolt freely quotes terrorists Russians over Australians in order to muddy waters. He prefers to just make things up and then let  the innuendo take it's course. He has his moderated commentaries structured to do the rest.

 

Group Calling For Abbott’s Return Still Has Just The One Member

eric abetz satire
Senator Eric Abetz is the chair, director, treasurer, and membership body of a new political movement advocating for a return to former Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
Mr Abetz used a radio interview this morning to promote the group, which he says is quickly gaining traction. “There has been a groundswell of opinion in my Canberra apartment calling for the reinstatement of Mr Abbott. In particular, all of us want to know more about the precise circumstances surrounding his deposition in September,” Mr Abetz said.
He said the group’s first meeting was a rigorous contest of ideas. “It was a very robust discussion with many valid points raised – our group is a broad church. But what’s clear – and I think I speak for all of us here – what’s clear is that we all want to see Mr Abbott as Prime Minister again”.
The senator said the group has plans to double or even triple membership numbers in the coming months. “In recent days I’ve had a chance to speak to the broader group of people who would like to see Mr Abbott back in the top job, and both of them have expressed interest in joining this movement,” he said.

 

 

 

 

Column - How “activist” became a four-letter word

" “Activist” has become a dirty word, thanks particularly to human rights and environmental activists."

I think Reclaim Australia , the UPF, and all those groups supported by Andrew Bolt are the  most reviled "activists" in the current political climate. Those are neo- Nazi groups who actually wear their four letter word Nazi as a form of pride.  Bolt gives them the publicity they crave as he does ISIS, Boko Harum, etc etc. What is that four letter word  Bolt gives them "mate"?

 

 

 

 

Column - The UN proposal to control our economy. Turnbull’s response?

Bolt is all for privatized  Corporate global control. Corporate power that can overide and even sue governments and the  citizens of a country for any loss of not just actual profit but even predicted profits not achieved. The notion of business risk is taken out of the equation. TTP etc does just this. These agreements to be happily  controlled by independent corporate courts elected by the corporations involved.

 However any notion of sovereign treaties or any agreements to protect citizen rights  is far too socialist for Andrew Bolt.  We need to subsidize coal  and ensure there's no investor risk. However  any guarantees to  protect a country's citizens are simply off  the table as far as Bolt's concerned.

 

 

 

 

 

South Australia pretending to save the planet, but actually just killing jobs

Bolt is running the argument War is good for humanity because war creates jobs. Yes it does so he wants more war. War is good for humanity. Bolt's  argument Coal is good for humanity because it creates jobs follows the same logic. So given  that any change to peace or renewables is  bad because war jobs and coal jobs will be lost.  No new jobs could possibly be created with a change for the better without expense. So peace and clean energy, are bad for the world.

 Climate change denialist Andrew Bolt is accusing the SA Labour  government of destroying the State. A Labour state of course that Tony Abbott set out to punish when he directly closed down their  car and ship building industries. He drove State unemployment  up and not green power as Bolt claims.

 "And he’s be shovelling out more taxpayers’ money not to create jobs but to pretend to save the planet from a grossly exaggerated threat - or even non-threat:" 

"Nothing South Australia does will actually make a blind bit of difference to the climate."

State the obvious Andrew Bolt it's a global problem!! It's not local or even just an Australian problem and it's why 200 countries are meeting in Paris to address the issue . 200 countries that see us as part of the problem because we are reluctant to pitch in and help. Bolt simply wants to help himself. The fact is coal is fast becoming a non profitable product that is no longer seen as a profitable investment. Bolt wants the government to subsidize it. We will just keep paying for their losses which hardly seems logical from any" free market " perspective.  It seems Bolt is demanding coal to be a semi- government industry very collectivist of him.

 

 

 

 

“Safe space” is safe only for thugs and morons

Link The Atlantic

I think Bolt has got it totally wrong. When the National Guard entered Kentucky State University Campus and shot students the university was not a "safe place" it was invaded by government thugs and morons. When 12 year old kids are shot for little more than being black by  police employed to protect them  the streets can't be deemed 'safe places' because the US police departments employ thugs and morons.

When the President of the University can declare that the campus has a KKK presence with whom he's negotiating and then say he was only joking then the student body are a reflection of those that voted for him thugs and morons.

To say Racism does not exist in America as Fox News does consistently is to deny the facts. That  if your an American and black the US is not a "safe place" to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fine, as long as we may vote against him without being called racist

Link Paywall to Murdoch's Herald Sun

Given that Zebras don't change their stripes nor Leopards  their spots. If Andrew Bolt does anything it will be ultra-racist. It's what he was found guilty of in our courts. Look what he does to Nova Peris and other indigenous Australians. You can certainly judge this book by it's cover.

 

 

 


But who are the ABC’s true experts?

Link Paywall to Murdoch's Australian

What a load of nonsense coming from News Corp an organization that spends it's energy bagging Australia's best Scientists, Academics , People in the Arts, The Law basically telling us we have no believable experts in any field. As far as Bolt and  News Corp  are concerned all our cultural institutions are overrun by" an inexperienced drift and tend to echo the superficial green-left views of in-house opinion leaders" Basically the Devine's Blair's Kenny's and Bolt's hate Australia for what it has become since the loss of their Tony . Well wasn't it News Corp and their supporters that coined the phrase "if you don't like it well piss off"

We love our ABC the most trusted news source in Australia 85% where News Corp is the least trusted at 45%. By the way it would be a sorry state if Australia's leading experts in any field where only able to secure work in the media. Tony tried his best to kill off science and import second class brains like Lomborg. Aren't we glad our brightest and best are people the media need to go to? People that are happy to appear on the ABC but would never countenance on appearing anywhere they might confront Andrew Bolt. Simply because the only issue would be an Andrew Bolt circus rather than a serious discussion of any sort.

 

 

 

What is Malcolm Turnbull’s big plan? When does waffling end and acting start?

Link Paywalls to Murdoch's Telegraph, Murdoch's Australian,

Bolt " I just don’t think this debate will go anywhere good."

modelling obtained­ exclusively by The Australian, highlighting the risks of pursuing the new approach…" Bolt

I agree with Bolt as long as he talks of data exclusive to News Corp and rumours from Treasury that the government isn't looking at the debate isn't going anywhere because it's simply Andrew Bolt talking to himself for the purpose of steering towards a predetermined conclusion. Stop taxing the 2% that are paying 22% of the tax.

"the Government should get back to the real challenge, hard as it is - to cut spending, not raise taxes:"Bolt

Whatever the government chooses to do it should address the widening income and wealth gaps in the name of fairness. A word Bolt rarely brings to the table
