Andrew Bolt's blog , 7/2/16; Monga Khan true blue and productive;Trying to keep Pell hidden in the Vatican is ok but letting it be known an ex Murdochian has been appointed head of the ABC is not; Bolt says if the law didn't exist I'd be innocent it's the fault of the RDA; Bolt distorts the message og the German Church; Australia is Bolt's canary in the mine; Dead Moggies thrown to undermine Turnbull; Islamophobia is Bolt's new Homophobia;
Monga Khan was more Australian than Andrew Bolt he spent 70 years building this country and was far more productive and far less racist than Andrew Bolt!!
Bolt feels entitled to vilify all the imams of Islam and even the Pope because 1) he agrees with global warming and 2) because he Latin American. George Pell is on the other hand defended by Bolt for no other reason than " This is a massive abuse of state power with the clear aim of destroying
the greatest figurehead of the Catholic Church in Australia." There is a stench of contradiction in all of this. Ever moreso in his call for the Liberals to speak against a Royal Commission. Pell it would seem has locked himself in the non extradition sanctuary of the Vatican much the same as the Archbishop of Boston did before him. One could say he's doing the Assange . Bolt has challenged Assange to face the Law. The Royal Commission is simply requesting Pell's attendance and he's doing an Alan Bond.
"By making no mention whatsoever of those earlier turns in the witness
box, leaving readers with the impression that he is pulling a Craig
Thomson-style routine and hiding behind a medical certificate." Quadrant
Quadrant's suggestion "By making no mention whatsoever of those earlier turns in the witness
box, leaving readers with the impression that he is pulling a Craig
Thomson-style routine and hiding behind a medical certificate."That
nobody new of Pell's earlier appearances before the commission is bull@#$t. Quadrant is suggesting Australians a thick. Did nobody know of Gillards and Shortens appearances before TURCS? Of course the public knew and hasn't forgotten. He is like Gillard and Shorten entitled to be called more than once.
Calling the Australian public ignorant shows the quality of Quadrant's defence of Pell and of Bolt's in support. I suggest Bolt watches the movie Spotlight. It deals with the fact that investigative journalists still exist and how major institutions join together and interfere with the course of justice when threatened to be outed for illegal conduct. That's exactly what Bolt is calling for the Church the government and the media all to get behind Pell why? Victims doubt Pell's health claims - Herald Sun Even News Corp are ready to question Pell
" The national broadcaster is about to welcome a new managing director, a woman said by Quentin Dempster to be the personal favourite of our latest PM.
She’s an expert on matters digital, apparently. Take this appointment
to mean that bias, inaccuracy and omission will now be propagated with
greater efficiency in many different and ever-expanding fora." Neither Quadrant or Bolt seem to want to make anything of the fact that Michelle Guthrie was in fact an ex News Corp executive. It doesn't fit their criticism of the ABC to let it be known a Murdochian was appointed. It's strange that the ABC board only interviewed two people for such an important job wasn't the other ex News Corp?

There
is a distinction between comedy an individual's freedom of expression
and public vilification. The power of the press is not just individual
comment Australians in general don't find that difficult to distinguish.
The RDA tests those cases and so it should. Andrew Bolt was convicted
under the Act. He was neither and individual a comedian of any sort nor
was he even true to the facts he was presenting. He was convicted as
much for being a crappy journalist.
Andrew Bolt's running a self serving argument.
He was found guilty under the RDA. The fact where there is a hierarchical social structure already in place ,
power established since colonization then a law like the RDA is
necessary to ensure equality does exist. Equality appears to be the
existential threat to nobody other than those with a colonists
mentality. Those that want to maintain their position on the pecking
order of authority and power like Andrew Bolt.
The
racial vilification act tries to ensure that equality exists and is
maintained between the diverse groups among us. Bolt maintains it's an
imposition to our freedoms to be able to bully others according to
race. That there should be no discrimination against Australian citizens on grounds
of race, nationality, gender or religion should be a natural state of affairs for any
democracy."
A
country that places one ethnic or religious group above others cannot
offer full equality.
It will always have second-class citizens, even if they have the
appearance of holding full civic rights which is currently the case if
one looks at the incarceration rates of indigenous Australians. Bolt
accepts the post colonial top-down social order. Equality
however requires the very opposite of unconsciousness acceptance.It
demands that we pay attention to our environment and to one
another. It asks of us to recognize specific groups to ensure their
rights are not violated on racial or religious grounds and not losing
sight of our common humanity. The RAD does not erase the institutionalized racism caused by decades of
occupation and separation, nor does it overturn
“between the lines” discrimination
against indigenous Australians which though not set down in law is
deeply rooted. Formalizing equality in the RAD at the very least present
an obstacle to the extreme Right’s seeming ability to operate
unhindered in Australian government and society, no matter how ruinous
to others their desired claim of freedom to be bigots may be.‘Dangerous and divisive’: Lebanese community furious at being singled out in leaked government document
Andrew
Bolt is applying all his force of voice to repeat over and over again
as to why he should never have been convicted under the RDA. His
argument isn't about freedom of speech but freedom of abuse which is
flawed on a number of accounts. Social civility should not ensure laws
that encourage the reverse. The refusal to recognize the existence of an
historic social hierarchy and the power that accompanies it needs to be
contained. The false belief equality exists generally accompanies the
arguments Bolt and Dean put forward. So I repeat my case again as long
as he does his.
"The push to make “hurtful”, “insulting” and “divisive” comments unlawful
is not just a threat to free speech and intellectual inquiry. It is
also tyrannical, a weapon to deploy against anyone speaking an
uncomfortable truth to power about “race” or religion."Bolt

"The Archbishop Cranmer blog notes that even Jesus Christ would be
muzzled by the kind of laws politicians in the West are imposing:" Jesus Christ was more than muzzled by the hierachy he was killed there was no RDA
This
report seems to be a consequence of the increased right wing terrorists
advocating shooting asylum seekers. 1.1mill taken in in 2015 and the
Catholic church suggests Germany cant be the sole supporter of such a
large intake. Bolt's blog banner distorts the real meaning of this
article. It isn't by any means a cry to stop helping refugees.
World
reports indicate ISIS support in the Middle East is falling by the
thousands. Bolt denies this because we are the worlds canary in the
mine. He is selling us the belief that we are generating a massive
increase. What his bullshit isrelying on is an increase in "suspects"
stopped leaving the country.
When
you create a new "Border Force" you create a new department that needs
to justify it's existence not it's accuracy and "suspects" stopped are a
measure of this proof of need. Andrew Bolt is merely stating the
obvious we are spending more money searching and not to be accused of
failing we are now going in a direction that is counter to world trends
and reports.
Nevertheless
it's even a reason to blame a class of Australian citizens otherwise
productive members of Australia. It's Homophobia turned Islamophobia
poofter bashing turned Muslim bashing. Bolt does love to make wild
generalizations about the 500,000 Muslims in Australia generalizations
supported by statistically insignificant figures and malicious heresay.
He'd be eager to see Waleed Aly stopped leaving the country. That's the
tenor of this son of Dutch immigrants we have inherited. A multiple
convicted slanderer and a convicted racial vilifier more much more than
just a "suspect".
" I don’t think these figures back up the claims of the “expert” quoted in the same report:" Bolt the great "thinker" avoids the claims gathered by experts around the world on the Middle East."
"A doubling of suspected jihadists in the past six months does not strike me as evidence of “waning support”."Bolt the thinker on world reports.
Yes! according
to Andrew Bolt Australia is the world's canary in the coal mine the
indicator of world jihadi support even if only suspects.
All
the talk about Fairfax and Senator Madigan is again just a dead moggy a
distraction to hide the point Bolt keeps wanting to hammer home. A
point that he's been trying to make for far more than 6 months but one
that never held water then and doesn't now.
"
But one thing will never change in Fairfax reporters. They may fall out
of love with Malcolm Turnbull, but will never fall out of hate with Tony
Abbott. Indeed, their hatred of Abbott will always mitigate their
disillusion with Turnbull."Bolt
Abbott's
demise was of his own making and even News Corp did not have the
capacity to shut it down. Abbott was a headache and disappointment to
his own party who had given him the the sternest of warnings 6 months
prior "Shape up or ship out." Turnbull has been cleaning up the
difficult mess left behind. Just as Bolt won't let Shorten do after
Rudd. The crux however is any excuse to undermine Turnbull. I will be
referring to Bolt's dead moggies quite often no doubt. Bolt doesn't make
too many original points so he collects "Dead Moggies"
Bolt
simply tries to turn talk addressing a white paper into one that is
the reality of his imagination. He's throwing the dead moggy in as a
distraction to hide his real intent. That's the work for Rupert get
Turnbull at any cost. The GST is just the dead cat. You can count on a
lot of dead cats being thrown in by Bolt in forthcoming days and Abbott
and the boys will be there helping behind the scenes.
" IF there is one thing our politicians, police and press tend to lie
about, it’s refugees. They fear the facts might turn you vicious or
stubborn.In Germany, this hoax on the public finally exploded on New Year’s Eve —
but few commentators have noted the parallels to Australia."Bolt
and his blog attempts to brand refugees as vermin. He supports the
actions that create refugees in the first place and then he finds
sexual horror stories to blame them . Searching for crime among 1.5
mill people is not a difficult excercise. If they didn't exist those
crimes would be still evident among local populations. Right wing media
exaggerate and amplify them. They could equally find more humanitarian
actions among 1.5 mill desperate people but that's not their agenda.
Why aren't the EU police reporting it as enthusiastically as the
Boltarians of the EU? On any other day these are the first people Bolt
supports. How is it Andrew Bolt is supporting minority activists in the
EU because they are right wing goons.
Stopping
the illegal bombing and terror caused by Western coalition's
determination to destroy Libya,Iraq,& Syria as far back as 2000.
Would have gone a long way in preventing what we see now . Islamophobia
is the new Homophobia as far as Bolt is concerned. It didn't exist but
was created by Israel and the US prior to 2000. Bolt is happy to promote
both here now.
