Andrew Bolt's Blog, 13/2/16; Bolt believes he's John Wayne: Abbott self destruced, he did it again last week: Pell and crowd funding a fast boat: All this bruha about Pell and a plane. We could crowd fund a fast boat: Bolt looks for random violence to report: Classic Latin and Greek are a waste of time: Maligning Aboriginal Culture for White influence: Latin is a dead language yet we use it everywhere: ABC Shouldn't be allowed to report: Apparently Bolt has discovered a new Racism
Bolt says nothing here just throws innuendos in declaring those who are for and against Abbott. One can assume from this Abbott is plotting a coupe and is the public number counter trying to tell us Abbott is missed. News Corp simply wants to get rid of Turnbull and the only help in sight is among those in the monkeypod room. Heaven help the state of Australian Politics with News Corp forever trying to create chaos if it can't get what it wants. It is after all the great misinformer.
Bolt is simply Rupert the ex ugly digger's tool. A little less so now that Ch 10 has shook itself free from the non rating and bloatedly boring Bolt
Bolt simply misuses the word racism to amplify his threat that any positive discrimination is a form of reverse racism. Any positive discrimination for kids under 16 is reverse ageism. Any thing for women reverse sexism etc etc. It's little more than a vacuous pedantic play on words with total disregard for history the generation of social reality and the internalized psychology it produces. We aren't individuals we are socialized beings Mr Bolt whose psychology is very much effected by our social status. The fact is the term racism applies not to Bolt's misinformed definition suggesting equality but to the fact that the social reality we have created and that has evolved since white settlement has never been equal and black Australians have as a consequence been left under privileged and feel it.
That under privilege has yes been overcome by many first peoples but often not without an extreme struggle. Stan Grant brilliantly portrayed that struggle and what his forebears had to face in order to arrive at a point where he could take up the baton and succeed not just for himself but all of us. There aren't too many role models Stan thank you for that from all Australians. It makes Grant a proud Australian proud of his Indigenous ancestry. However Bolt calls that pride and the recognition of that struggle divisive and racist because it's an existential threat in that it requires changes to our social order in this country that began with a state of inequality and has continued to reaffirm it for 200 + years. It's done daily on an institutional level and social level and has eroded the internalized pride many once and proud first people. Bolt mocks any attempts to re-establish that self worth.
Because the majority of indigenous are urban doesn't deny the struggle they and their ancestors have had. Just because fewer live in remote communities doesn't justify the 200 years of slow erosion by white culture and it's assumption that today's dysfunction is due to the resistense of aboriginal culture to change. All the dysfunction is in fact a reflection of white behavior. It reflects the success of white assimilation to it's lowest denominator. Lack of mutual respect and equal authority that went with it eroded 40,000 years of survival in 200. What Bolt finds and fears is the acknowledgement of the need for equality and what he regards means an accompanied loss to him.
When Bolt was a kid he claims he had an Aboriginal friend who was his best mate. They weren't socialized into the same world either by the time they were adults. Are they friends today was Bolt's struggle the equivalent of his friends? Were they allowed over time to both be proud Australians? Bolt only ever talks in terms of "I once had a friend". Racism isn't reversed that's just another white myth because power has never been reversed. Positive discrimination is needed to rid us of racism and our fear of it. It has done wonders in India for the untouchables.
The indigenous don't want Constitutional recognition they are with Bolt in the main on that score. They do want a "fair go" and on that score Bolt and they differ. Bolt believes in the theory of "limited good" to give is to lose you can't grow goodness there is only a limited amount. That's the core of his racism and his concomitant fear of loss and his over use and need of pedantic argument. It's why we among the Settler countries have the worst record and why Canada Multicultural is far ahead ahead of us. They know divisiveness they experienced the QLF and the desire of revolutionary change and they learnt lessons Bolt refuses to accept. He says we are all human but even global respect has no place in Bolt's Weltenschung (world view) equality simply has no place only as a myth.
Bolt sing this song minus the equality
Why is it Bolt loves the role of Australia's fool. He's paid by Murdoch to be the country's right wing Jester but he's neither funny or even smart as Hannity or O'Rielly and next to Megyn Kelly ugly as sin. The media Left didn't create Turnbull The Australian Liberal Party did after having a two year taste of Tony Abbott. Imagine the conservative gladiator of the right Abbott flew to the US in order to pay $200 to attend the right wing's Alfalfa Club annual muck up for a photo shoot of him shaking hands with Obama and John McCain. We know Obama wouldn't go out of his way to meet him and on any other day nor would McCain because Abbott is an ex. But anyway Abbott was there for his domestic image cosying up to John McCain who publicly agrees with Americas greatest living Socialist Bernie Sanders about the income and wealth gaps in America. Please explain Andrew Bolt how this shouldn't be interpreted as yet another classic Abbott mistake? Has Abbott now jumped left again?
Abbott just kept playing the fool throughout his leadership the Party warned him gave him 6 months and then sacked him. The media reported it all the way they didn't create the scenarios Abbott did. If they didn't report what happened what is their worth after all News Corp isn't media they are right wing propagandists the PR wing of the extreme right of the Liberal party and allies of the Industries and wealthy that that support it. What does Paul Marks do? These days taht right wing is a minority within the Liberal Party that still suck up to News Corp as they once did under Abbott who openly banned being on the ABC. Remember his classic appearnce at government house standing in the garden being inerviewed with a dumb look of silence for over a minute an interview that went viral and became an international joke that comedians all used the world over. A classic Abbott self destruct.
The ABC is so disgusting an organization as far as Bolt is concerned yet he worked on it and for it over the years. He just recently been working for it again and loved the experience. But no doubt we'll here him bagging out the experience soon enough. Is that simply the sign of an amoral man who has no principles but is simply a devious and ego driven one?
Yes it was news and worth reporting when a group of highly professional doctors were kind enough to offer Pell a paid for return flight medically supervised to attend the Royal Commission
Who is reader Gab? Why does he believe the doctors wouldn't fly to Rome and examine Pell first? That's the assumption Gab and Bolt make. First class care obviously has a different meaning to them.
Richard Saille isn't alone in this offer but Gab sees fit to single him out to malign because of his politics and for being a" militant atheist". I would have thought being scientist that practised medicine was of greater priority and that being a god botherer which might just get in the way of first class treatment. What is a "militant atheist "anyway? Does Gab actually do these checks when choosing his doctors, dentists etc. What does his psychiatrist think of that. It seems hardly normal for Australians to do? The Royal Commission I'm sure Andrew Bolt would have allowed George Pell to take a boat and a fast boat at that and there would be easily enough donors to crowd fund it.
As for mockery and an example of please read what Gab had to say again.
Given the blogs on Aborigines below they must have all been indigenous hey Bolt ?? Random violence is not apart of Australian white Culture or isn't it. The largest series of violent acts committed in Australia are by white Australians.
Latin is a dead language often spoken at white mans ceremonies of importance where nobody knows what's being said either. Latin is everywhere around us. People who can speak Latin and read texts are highly praised and regarded Classicists. Bolt listens to Opera but doesn't speak all foreign languages in which it's sung but he waxes lyrical nevertheless. Yet he mocks others for doing the same and treats them like shyte for doing so. Now that's a man of the world. Bolt in fact dances on the graves of lost languages when he lists them and says " frankly, who cares?"
"Yet these challenges, suggesting a sickness in Aboriginal culture, were
pushed aside this week as activists and journalists instead lavished
praise on Turnbull for merely starting his speech with some words in the
Ngunawal language:"
" Never mind that virtually nobody, neither white nor Aboriginal, actually understood a single word of what Turnbull said:"
It's this mockery that makes Bolt racist and an ugly Australian.
The sicknesses that Bolt is referring to aren't Aboriginal they are white they are all aspects of white culture. Unemployment, Aboriginal Culture didn't define you by your job, Random domestic violence,Aboriginal culture had ritualistic violence the was nothing random about it. Randomness of violence came with the gift of Alcohol a white disease. All the things Bolt calls the poverty of Aboriginal Culture seem to be white. The Aborigines themselves have always said the interaction with white culture has in many cases overwhelmed the good in theirs.
The majority of Indigenous have assimilated into our culture Stan Grant described the struggle his forebears had. Bolt calls Stan an Australian but Stan calls himself a proud Indigenous Australian as Bolt does a Dutch Australian. The problem for Bolt is what's good for the goose isn't for the gander. Stan Grant doesn't rail about the bad side of Australian Culture and then blame his mob he understands their struggle.
"This is farcical New Age dreaming, founded in part in the fashionable
self-loathing of western elites for their own culture. And for this
diversion Turnbull is applauded." Andrew Bolt and the words of a modern day Neandertall
The Looped Twitterati were so decried foul by Bolt as unfair press against Abbott. But obviously quite appropriate here. Notice there isn't the protective cry of foul as was constantly heard from Bolt when Abbott was around. Turnbull it would seem doesn't need a Bolt to save him.
Coming from Bolt who advocates escalation of the bombing of Syria and the production of refugees the banning of asylum seekers and the restriction of migrants is trashing the image of Australia in as much as what that term trashing signifies. However allowing Bolt to say this hurtful message also contradicts his argument that speech in Australia isn't free. More than anything he gives reason as to why Section 18 C should be retained.
At his convenience Bolt calls white man's crimes committed by the Australian Indigenous community the poverty their Aboriginal Culture and not in any sense that of the influence and adulteration of their culture by whites. For Bolt who claims colour doesn't exist it becomes very clear that he regards the brawls that occur are not a sign of assimilation into Australian Culture but one but wholly and solely an Aboriginal one. Well Andrew Bolt when you are such an embarrassment to Aussies who should we blame the Dutch or Australian in you? If there's a domestic at Stan Grant's which part is to blame the Aboriginal or Australian. It seems to me that Bolt prefers to say alcoholism if your black Australian is an Aboriginal characteristic. Fighting is an Aboriginal Characteristic, Unemployment is an Aboriginal Characteristic, as is Diabetes. If the truth be told aren't all these the characteristics that defined white people. Aren't these all the cultural characteristics of white Culture the poverty of white culture and not Aboriginal? Doesn't the Bolt rule suggest assimilation has occurred and that's the problem?
" They are more likely to be Aboriginal culture as it’s
now imagined by activists: such things as communistic land ownership,
putting ceremony above school, living where there’s no work, celebrating
the martial, leaving child-raising too often to the collective, feeling
owed." This is what Bolt calls the poverty the communalism. that leads to drinking, Domestic violence and wagging school He might as well be talking about the Israeli Kibbutz they too had much of these communal qualities but they were supported. They ran their commune had jobs had education shared the child raising and were there primarily for religious reasons and supported by the state. What's the difference well Israel encouraged the Kibbutz financially and in every way it can't be religion because Ethiopian Jews are having the same issue of unemployment and being treated as an under class. They too are black.
Here in Australia the white community see remote Aboriginal communities as having no purpose and treat them as such. Bolt is the judge that after 220 years of adulteration he expects an immediate turn around of some 30% of indigenous Australians who still hold on to their traditional ways. He doesn't see the success but emphasizes the faults which by and large are white. It's why Bolt always looks for the stories of the white in the black. He does exactly that in the story of Max
"And throughout the story, clue after clue that Max’s fate lay not in the
hands of white racists or bureaucrats, but in the hands of Aboriginal
relatives who simply did not take responsibility, and surrounded him
with a toxic culture:" The toxic aspect if Max's Culture Bolt was all white.
According to Bolt "get a medical certificate and you will be absolved " Why is it the number of appearances before a Royal Commission of this importance is such an issue to Bolt after all it wasn't in the case of Shorten or Gillard. The the Royal Commission into Unions was like heaven on a stick to News Corp. There's a stench in Bolt's agonizing howl and it's hypocrisy.
What relevance has this to the matter at hand " Cardinal Pell, who is third in line in the Vatican, does not live in “a palace” in Vatican City. " Bolt readily disparages the Pope as a less that intelligent man? What is his motivation here? It's not Pell or the Catholic Church .
According to Bolt and Henderson people proven to be sinners in the past can't ever be believed David Risedale being the case in point. Well that's quite contrary to the doctrines of the Catholic Church. But never mind that, Andrew Bolt was convicted of racism and being loose with the facts, in other words lying, so why is he now more believable that David Risedale? Why is Henderson his supporter of Bolt more believable?
All this is a dead moggy as far as News Corp is concerned it's just reason to attack ABC for doing it's job just as the Boston Globe was in 2001 for asking questions of the then Archbishop of Boston what his knowledge was of child molestation by priests. The Spotlight team was also harassed for reasons of not just protecting the hierarchy of the Catholic Church but the Police and other major institutions of Boston. So much so when push came to shove the Archbishop of Boston was sent to the Vatican. The parallel is obvious.
" Meryl Streep trips over the new racism
that absurdly tries to divide us by race and so deny our common
humanity - and our ability to empathise with others not of our “race”:
1. When has Andrew Bolt shown an ability to empathise with others not of our race?
2 In saying that and that Streep "trips over the "new Racism" he's acknowledging the exact thing which he denies that we aren't divided by race
3 The man has no logic. To say we are all human is meaningless. Meaning is socially created and Bolt doesn't live his day to day existence without meaning. he lives it it in a world of race , sex, age, beliefs, all internalised by him in a process of socialization. A world historicaly and socially defined before he was born.
4 That's why we don't just enter the world as individuals and that's why Bolt's world view differs dramatically from Streeps. His is a white,male,christian world in which the hierarchy of power is naturally defined and any attempt to change that is to be dysfunctional and requires control. In short Bolt is a racist, sexist, religious bigot who believes he has inherited the world.
