Andrew Bolt's Blog, 2/2/16; Jews under threat by Jews; Bolt denies that conservatives are lining up behind Donald Trump but even Rupert Murdoch is. Nick Cater on Economics he and Bolt make Fairfax glow; Deflection is Bolt's job and draws attention away from NewsCorps illegal investment in war; Using stats to misinform; Abbott doing the Rudd
Cruz: Staunchly Anti Abortion, Flip flopped on Immigration to be against Amnesty and Refugee intake, Carpet and saturation bombing not opposed to war crimes, Dismantle Obamacare, Outright Climate Change denier, A+ rating with the NRA, and will ignore and change the ruling on the LGBT. Cruz is the GOP Tea Party favorite for Presidential Candidate.
" thanks to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision of 2010" Apart from Bernie Sanders and his supporters, Billionaires are running this race and haven't begun to throw their money around. But while Cruz is Bolt's early pickn you can bet he's waiting to see who Murdoch will choose to go with.After Iowa, Both Parties Are Facing Hostile Takeovers |
Selling the Herald Sun
And with it a circular argument as to why there won't be a rise in GST or a cut in spending. The election won't allow for it unless of course a party manages to get control of the Senate.
A turn around without slashing spending
Politicians being politicians always merely have their eye on the next election never what's good for the country as a whole. Short term politics does not allow for long term goals. McCrann hasn't even managed to make that clear. The biggest promoter of the short term is and has been NewsCorp because it just sells the one side the more conservative the better. NewsCorp simply wants politicians and parties beholden to it never independent of it as does business. However their interest is not in the quality of life but the size of their profit. Isn't it strange that Australian politicians are next to the highest paid in the world, that always passes the Senate, yet they are among the worst. They make well over what politicians with 10 times the population make and with bigger budgets. Why is that? They certainly don't seem to be the best money managers that's for sure.Under Labour and the GFC spending was 24% ratio to GDP. In 2 years Abbott took it to 25.9%. It was John Howard who made it begin to skyrocket trying to yes buy votes.Labor can win the next election on tax reform –
Bolt's selling the Herald Sun
"It’s a belief about individual responsibility for individual behaviour."
"It’s still the basis of our criminal law,"
Bolt's right it is the basis of our criminal law that at the end of the day and when it comes to sentencing makes room for mitigating pleas. Pleas based on human rights and extraordinary circumstances. However what have masculinity and patriarchy to do with racism? When you come to view reality as a historical and evolving social construct you come to clearly see today is neither inevitable nor the best of all possible worlds. Power, gender, and race are simply socially constructed and any notion of social equality and human rights is seen as an existential threat to those on the upper rungs of the power hierarchy. To actually speak up against the current social hierarchy whether indigenous, a woman or an advocate of human rights is for those in power to speak up against the "natural order of things" particularly when institutional change means major change to rid us of organized social disadvantage.
Bolt believes you need to be an activist today to win awards and not a conservative those were the days when owners of small businesses like Myers were knighted nobody noticed just how many people those "Sirs" stepped on and over to crawl their way to the top. The notion of self-made men is blurred as far as Bolt is concerned however he's the voice of regret that sees awards being handed out to what he regards as the wrong people like Adam Goodes
The obsession with the politics of Israel is not an obsession with Jews. The only obsession with Jews in this country was when the Conservative clubs of Australia banned Jews as members. The ALP and the Communist Party of Australia became the natural political home for those jewish migrants arriving here. In fact Josh Frydenberg is only the second MP in the LNP to be Jewish.
The very notion of Jews stirring up Jew hatred must apply if Markson raises the issue of Israeli politics. However Stop asking whether Israel is Jewish or democratic The only question is whether Israel can still become a true democracy. What's surprising Markson was arrested for being a journalist in an area that was meant to be a state secret. The hospital and medical support given to Syrian terrorists by Israel. Terrorists we loudly claim to be our enemy the al-Nusra Front. The truth in Israel is that equality and true democracy is an existential threat. It's not Jews that are a danger but the extreme right wing Israeli terrorists and the government of Israel itself.When equality is the biggest existential threat of all |
Jews need no help in turning the tide against themselves when one of their own Israeli Rabbis puts out messages like this. But you'd never hear this from Bolt.
" Mark Kenny of the Sydney Morning Herald claims Donald Trump is ”ultra-conservative”, confirming how little this political commentator knows about US politics or political philosophy."Bolt
Bolt shows just how obtuse he in fact is because the Queen of ultra-conservatism in America Sarah Palin has endorsed Trump as the Republican Presidential Candidate. So according to Bolt she isn't a conservative either. Who is Ted Cruz? In the words of an ex Aus Liberal President John Elliot "pigs arse" GOP may be confused and divided but Trump is gaining support yes from the ultra-right tea party and that's not any left wing part of the party. Bolt's simply taking the most extreme Breitbart news line They simply make it up. Their stories aren't true. Breitbart News Targets Wrong Michael Goldfarb For Criticizing Donald TrumpThey were caught out recently with yet another major blunder and ignored it. The only truth is that Trump can't be trusted. However the Ultra-Conservatives are lining up behind him and so is Fox News who recently gave him free media space to the value of $1mill . Donald Trump & Fox News: Timeline Of A Relationship
UPDATE
Bolt
however is on the side of the Corporate tax avoiders and the worlds largest illegal
war mongers. Who when it all comes to be said and done cost
this country more out of pocket and left us holding the bag. Take for example
the coal mines that are about to close leaving us high and dry with
their clean up bills. The Bolt's of this world never talk about these costs but it's the wage earners of Australia that will pay.
What has wasted money in greater quantities than the creation of
imaginary fear of terror and invasion and who more than Bolt and NewsCorp has sold it? The unnecessary invasion that we had to currently join on the other side of
the planet to save us is on it's way to being a $1 billion ++ cost. The increasing spend on internal social controls
for some minor citizen activism isn't played up the activism is? What costs this country more corporate
tax avoidance or a few citizen
welfare cheats? You don't have to be a CPA to do those the sums.
Nick
Cater is wrong the Government merely collects our money to pay for our
ABC which is by law independent of government no matter the political
flavor and it is the most trusted news source in this nation. 84% of us trust and support it. It would be
amusing to suggest NewsCorp ,Terry McCrann and Andrew Bolt are the major
sources of economic knowledge we have. Both are totally mentally vacant
when it comes to numbers and their interpretation Fairfax runs
them raggard. Here is Cater saying not enough time has been devoted to
economics on the ABC"So what does excite AM? A rough count of stories covered over the
past three months shows Islamic terrorism is top of the list, although
the broadcasters are reluctant to use the “I” word. The coverage is
heavily spiced with cautionary tales about Islamophobia."
The ABC is diverse and he focusses AM. Has anybody done a count on NewCorp's attention to economics? If they
did they'd see it's no reasoned analysis, not by Bolt that's for certain. Only one or two
mentions a month when Terry has something to say and Andrew thinks he
understands enough to give him a plug. Even more amusing when does Nick Cater do deep economics?
Nick Cater seems to have been caught rummaging around for something to
attack the ABC with. It is strange maybe the ABC should cut those
programs that have given and continue to give Cater the little media
profile he in fact has over and above working for ultra conservative
think tanks as a spin doctor.
Hello
it's neither the left nor right that have been called out in helping
ISIS it's the West and it's illegal invasion of Iraq, bombing of Libya and now Syria that has been called out. In deposing of Saddam, Gadaffi
and with great effort Assad the West has conducted illegal wars against
despots. It is that which created the political possibility of ISIS not just to exist but to grow. Israel and it's supporters had been advocating the
destruction of the secular pan Arabic states since the 80s out of fear
that Arab nationalism was the greatest united danger to Israel and the American
control of the worlds greatest energy resource oil.
This
is the most fundamental and economically political fact that is hidden or ignored
by the conservative press . It tries to distract us with cultural
side shows claiming it's the uncivilzed treatment of women and gays that
is the core for justifying the bombing and killing of 1.5 million
Iraqis and assisting in the deaths of 250,000 Syrians, it's Islam why are they so aggressive?? Is it any wonder
Bolt doesn't tell us of Rupert Murdoch's investment in Genie Oil
illegally drilling in the Golan Heights Israeli occupied territory of Syria. Or that
Israel is secretly assisting in the downfall of Assad and prefers to
help those we call terrorists rather than the Syrian government.
Here is Bolt trivializing the very nature of why millions Syrians and Iraqis are displaced or dead. These aren't cultural wars but fundamentally political,economic and territorial.
"Left activists claim Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. Gay activists have been silent about Islamist terror against gays. Feminists say next to nothing about Islam’s subjugation of women, or even defend or ape it."
Bolt's Source The Daily Caller
What Bolt fails to say is The Daily Caller is a politically conservative[news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C., United States. Founded by Tucker Carlson, a libertarian conservative political pundit, and Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney,
In Other words the Daily Caller is a propaganda sheet and not a source of news or independant comment Emissions Rise For First Time In A Decade, Australia Now ‘Comparable To China And India’ Bolt
simply doesn't want to draw attention to the fact that our Tony's
Direct Action plan has turned out to be a failure. So he's turned to the
most pro fossil fuel spin he could find for the day and he found it in
the Conservative funded Daily Caller. The trick he's playing is saying that Americans
don't rank warming as "the most" pressing issue facing them at the
moment. That terrorism ranked higher. However when you consider Fox News
and the Conservative media have the greatest coverage across America it's
of little surprise because they have been promoting terror and and fear above warming as the most urgent issue. They are the political allies of the
Republicans and even they know that climate denialism as an issue in the US is lost.

"Bishop didn’t know? When even I had a fair idea?"
The spin this Rupert Murdoch favoured man Abbott gets from Bolt and the
conservative press is self evident. Bolt sounds like a junior a high
school cadet reporter on the student paper saying "believe me I know"
it is his only claim to truth.
However the
reality is NewsCorp made out that Abbott was having private and secret meetings
with Obama, McCain and other important figures in the US. Abbott's team weren't denying it. When in
fact he just happened to be attending an open function as an also ran and happened to be in the same room as 200++ others .A conference held in the US yearly. He didn't get a "special"invite at all
and nobody could have given a rats if he was there or not. Abbott
was doing the Rudd. However it was a great opportunity for a
photo shoot and a NewsCorp beat up to which Andrew Bolt will gave full
energy.
Remember
when Abbott backed by Bolt cried out asking why the media weren't
supporting Australia. Remember how Bolt used to decry the"disloyalty"of the
media classes for not hailing Abbott as the new Caesar. What's Bolt
doing now to Julie Bishop and the Turnbull government? he's white-anting them .He's doing what he accused the media of
doing for over the past 2 years being disloyal to Australia. He's disparaging the
LNP simply because Rupert Murdoch hates Malcolm Turnbull because Malcolm has stood
independently of Rupert and that's bad for business. NewsCorp can't
profit from just being an also ran media outlet.Tony Abbott’s ‘private dinner’ with Barack Obama actually a lunch attended by dozens. NewsCorp Spin & Abbott doing the Rudd
