Andrew Bolt's Blog, 12/2/17; Andrew Bolt is calling for the installment of an Australian Inquisition as was done in Cosmopolitan and Multicultural Sicily;

Andrew Bolt  the Media's Grand Inquisitor Act of Faith execution in Palermo.


The Australian Inquisition is a particularly intolerant movement, and even today very few members of the Australian media  teach us very much about it's horrors.Andrew Bolt not only calls for them to be reinstalled but practices them today. 
The Inquisition of the past was a series of efforts by the Roman Catholic Church to control secular (non-ecclesiastical) society, ostensibly in the interest of destroying heresy and alleged witchcraft, terms which covered a vast range of imagined "offences" against the Faith. In fact, the Inquisition was essentially a reactionary political tool which, at various times, suppressed independence movements, Jews and then Protestants, freedom of expression, the Enlightenment and fundamental principles of democracy and equal rights among social classes. The Inquisition's ideas influenced life in the world's most multicultural center then Sicily well into the twentieth century. At its worst, it was a murderous and an anti-intellectual movement whose victims were ideas as well as people.
The parallels are quite clear to today in the demands of Andrew Bolt and the right wing Christian Conservatives today here. Basically Hanson and groups like the Q society along with the extreme right of the Liberal Party all find it politically efficacious for Christians to retake control of secular society. The foundation can be seen in the likes of  the conservative Catholics like Abbott, Andrews, Dutton , Bernardi   etc who demanded Assimilation as their goal. A singular language, dress code, and set of morals were required a monoculture with penalties for those deemed or suspected of being transgressors. 

Sicily was once the most cosmopolitan place in then known world. Greek-speaking Eastern Orthodox communities had lived here since ancient times, Moors from North Africa worshiped in mosques, Christian Normans and Jews had their own schools, churches and synagogues. Some rural pagans quietly kept on honoring the gods of nature. Sicily had had its share of religious tensions, but somehow everyone held onto their own religion, language and culture and bumped alongside each other reasonably peacefully. In fact the cathedral in Palermo is a synthesis of art and architecture celebrating all the faiths on the island. Quotes from the Koran adorn it's entrance and the internal ceiling a tribute to Islamic art.
Sicily was Australia today except for a standout difference 400,000 refugees have passed through Sicily in 2016 without a single case of intolerance being reported by either the refugees or the Sicilians neither in fear of the police. The Islands cosmopolitan roots provided the empathy and understanding that the intolerance Andrew Bolt preaches doesn't. Sicily today continues much to Andrew Bolt's disgust to welcome and save refugees.
The degree to which centuries of Inquisition impeded social progress cannot be underestimated. Its effect were lasting ones. The reflections seen in Bolt's anti- science, anti-intellectual and anti- cultural stance promotes stagnation. The idea of us contemplating a safe school program and anathema and anyone advocating it needs to be identified and removed for their heresy

Credlin: Liberals have too much of Labor's green madness

Peta Credlin is right. The Liberals cannot get away with just being the lesser evil on renewable energy. Yes, Labor's 50 per cent renewable energy target is plainly mad - ruinous - but even the Liberals' target of 23 per cent by 2020 will force us to find $10 billion for more wind farms in just four years. Why?

 One needs to PAY to read the writings of those preaching that science is little more than a heretical religion and that climate change is simply a faith designed to wrest money from the traditional means that have served us well for over a century. New technology is a conspiracy of false economics and old is gold. Then there is the Green madness that suggests that old isn't in fact gold. That science has progressed in every-way and helped improve the world in the last century faster that the rest of history. That history is littered with attempts to resist progress particularly that which not only made sense economically but also satisfied the long term values of the future. Credlin and Bolt have a short term future preaching dirty energy and an over heated planet is the way to go and no progress is needed in global energy production. Australia has the possibility of being the engine of the planet given it's climate resources. One simply needs to ask how much have these two  invested in Fossil Fuels? Like Donald Trump they wont reveal  if they have put their money where their mouths are.

Free speech works: Kirralie Smith attacks Larry Pickering

Yesterday I said defenders of free speech had a special responsibility to attack Larry Pickering for hijacking a free-speech event by saying Muslims "are not all bad, they do chuck pillow-biters off buildings". We must show that manners are best policed by the public, not judges. Now Kirralie Smith does the right thing.


  "We must show that manners are best policed by the public, not judges." Andrew Bolt  Funny this remark coming from a man whose favorite sport has regularly been declared debating. Debating has strict rules and has judges adjudicating. Bolt hates free for all debates and particularly if the opposition is a woman. he kept crying foul and threatening not to participate on Miranda Devine's show. The man is such a liar he has a history of applauding judges when they make decisions he approves of and screams foul when they don't. He doesn't yell free speech free speech!! In fact Andrew Bolt is  the media voice of the Australian Inquisition. He applauds jailing, detention, firing, and punishment park only not when it comes to him. "I have been called a hypocrite and worse by a number of readers for arguing for free speech but criticising Pickering vile comments."Bolt
No bolt your not a hypocrite for criticizing Pickering. Your a hypocrite because you speak of fantasy worlds that don't exist as if they do but call for the daily Inquisition and punishment of others in a world that does exist and deny your doing it in the same breathe. How is it we don't hear Bolt rail about the laws that protect politicians or the laws in the work place? Yes free speech is a CIVIL RIGHT note CIVIL not just a RIGHT that means rules and regulations as does DEBATING

 

 

 

Fake news exposed: 72 terrorists from countries banned by Trump

The judges frustrating Donald Trump - and the voters' will - are wrong. In fact, since 9/11, 72 individuals from the seven mostly Muslim countries covered by President Trump's "extreme vetting" executive order have been convicted of terrorism. Why didn't Trump's lawyer correct them?  
  Fake News from a crier of fake news Andrew Bolt boosting bullshit  as if it were true. "there is "no evidence" those countries have produced a terrorist." This is not what was or has been said at all. "there is no evidence that there has been any domestic terrorism in America comitted by people from those countries in the past 40 years" that's what was said. If Bolt's truth were the logic on which Trump's decision was made then Australians Muslim or not would require "extreme vetting" Andrew Bolt is a chump!
 
 
What is significant is Bolt doesn't argue the credibility wisdom of Trump's choices for cabinet be cause that's too difficult. He simply cuts and pastes what they have to say. As long as the they come to the same conclusion as Bolt all he does is cuts and pastes them with a banner of his choosing. Myron Ebell is a Climate Change Denier. So Bolt we must assume has done another 180 degree turn and is a denier once again as he has a positive opinion of Ebell. Bye Bye again warmest Bjorn Lomborg. Bolt just flip flops doesn't he?
