Who is Andrew Bolt-

In today’s world people who are white, male, and right-wing can easily get away with racism and bigotry.

"If a media personality who makes a living from racist insults and unsubstantiated conspiracies can be called a 'provocateur', then why can't the same culture afford to extend even a second of skepticism or possible context toward those who make controversial remarks but aren't white, male, and mouthpieces for the alt-right?"

If a media personality like Bolt who makes a living from racist insults and unsubstantiated conspiracies can just be called a "provocateur", then why can't the same culture afford to extend even a second of skepticism or possible context toward those who make controversial remarks but aren't white, male, and mouthpieces for the alt-right? That being the Muslims who speak out for themselves.
Such is the underlying status quo that upholds the social and political framework through which controversy is understood and interpreted. It turns out that people pass judgments not on the basis of the speech but on the basis of the race and gender of the speaker. It's what Bolt wants us to do to Waleed Aly and his obsession with him. Ratings and Logies show Bolt is in fact failing miserably. As long as this is the case of others less fortunate, those who aren't afforded any leeway and fairness in the court of public opinion will refuse to take such a state of affairs seriously. Bolt will continue to point them out as not one of "us" When in truth he's not. An example is Bolt's denial of Indigenous history

The Frontier Wars refer to conflicts between Europeans and Aboriginal people including battles, acts of resistance and open massacres from 1788 to the 1930s.

TERRIFYING KIM JONG-UN: THE METHOD BEHIND TRUMPS MADNESS

There may be method to Donald Trump’s madness in threatening North Korea — even if the world fears nuclear war. Kim Jong-un never thought the US would be mad enough to use force to stop his nuclear weapons program. But then came Trump, firing missiles and dropping the Mother Of All Bombs.      

  Clint Eastwood, John Wayne  is Andrew Bolt really mad turning to Hollywood for his explanation of who Donald Trump is? It's as if  the script from Dr Strangelove or some new Tarantino movie is meaningful and representative of reality. It's not what happens in the movies isn't what happens in reality.

Trump sits at a dining table eating chocolate cake with President Xi of China and announces he'd just sent 59 missiles to Iraq and and has to be corrected "that's Syria sir" and Andrew Bolt argues the man knows exactly what he was doing? That's insanity. Bolt like Geraldo Rivera of Fox News  "loves watching the bad guys bombed" Don't  these Murdochians just love war? They present it as if they are out of the right wing closet secret lovers of  snuff movies . War porn is what Bolt seems to get off on  and it's what Trump and Kim Jong Un are about posturing who has the biggest showing off  to the world. They may be like  the characters in Dr Strangelove and Trump might believe it's time to drop the big one now but the consequences aren't just turning the lights on and going for coffee to talk about it.Trump Secretary Of State Admits Syria Missile Strike Was A Bogus Charade

 

" RIVERA: Well one of my favorite things in the 16 years I've been here at Fox News is watching bombs drop on bad guys. And I have some experience in that exact part of Afghanistan going back to December 2001, the first of my 11 assignments in that country, where we dropped what was the forerunner, maybe you call it the father of the "mother of all bombs," the Daisy Cutter, Daisy Cutter 15,000 pounds of explosive. This is 22,000 pounds of explosive. Like then, now, we've had a successful hit. Almost two dozen, or more actually, three dozen bad guys killed. It's not going to win the war, but it certainly sends a message."

 Evidence is mounting that Assad didn't gas his people and that the story was a fabrication by the US. Like  "weapons of mass destruction" held by Saddam was a lie and excuse for the Christian  invasion of Iraq. The gassing  a lie to justify sending  59 Tomohawk missiles in to not destroy an airfield but to simply to send a message to Nth Korea and the rest of world Trump means action. Well I've no doubt Bolt's right the Trump team are playing it like Hollywood. But Bolt has missed the point that the message was really for Trump's domestic audience to boost his falling poll status.  To say that  these are the  actions  of a sane man defies  all logic. Particularly when Trump himself has denied that he had anything to do with  the planning of these events. He has said he left it in the hands of his defense team. Yes Trump himself said he left it all up to his war room because he was in Mar Largo playing golf which is what he's been doing all this weekend. He wasn't even informed of the details he gave carte blanche to his defense team and he has said as much. Donald Trump Surrenders to the War Party - Truthdig

 President Trump’s Approval Ratings Just Hit Another Low

Sorry Bolt Clint Eastwood walked off the set of this one he left it to others. Far greater hawks  to come up with the MOAB scenario $24million to kill 36 Afghanis they say were ISIS coupled with $89 million with an airfield not destroyed. The only thing Hollywood about this production the $113 million spent and Bolt trying to provide the positive publicity for the theatrics.Trump Secretary Of State Admits Syria Missile Strike Was A Bogus Charade

 Trump wasn't about to even explain his intentions what was going on he didn't seem to know let alone care. He didn't come up with the plan and he was the first to admit it. He's also left it to Newscorp to provide of the heroic story and Bolt's turned to Hollywood to provide the script instead of Bellvue the mental Institution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DECEIVING YOU ABOUT THE KORAN

Don't believe the Muslim apologists. The Koran really does instruct men to beat wives who don’t obey. Prominent imams and celebrity Muslims are misleading us in their panic over a Hizb ut Tahrir video showing two Muslim women demonstrating just how men should do that hitting.  

 

The Koran like the Bible is and ancient text a moral edict that has been interpreted over the years by men regarded by their peers as experts. The Bible or New Testament has  over 1000 instructions for Christians on how to live their lives these have been discarded reinterpreted by all branches of Christianity some accepted some argued over and others simply ignored. Nevertheless respected elders were turned to for advice they didn't turn to the likes of Andrew Bolt  for direction or to offer an interpretation because he hasn't any credentials.

 In Bolt  we have a self proclaimed agnostic  interpreting all the holy books the Tora ,the Bible and the Koran  as if he stands taller, more credentialed  and respected than the scholars people do listen to. If Christ were alive to day Bolt would be laughing at him and not with him and yet he's regarded as a Prophet by Islam. Yes Muslims listen to the message of Abraham and Christ too.

 Bolt actually turns to radical extremist's who are disregarded as followers of Islam those not regarded as Muslims  to prove and justify his Islamophobic point. He has no regard for the respected leaders of Islam. Those who 1.6 billion people listen to Bolt calls apologists con men and liars as if he is the Koranic expert but then he does the  same with Science as well.There are very few scientists smarter  than Andrew Bolt  when it comes to Climate Change.  No women understand gender matters as he does and of course he's more indigenous than any Aborigines younger than him. All this stems from Bolt's belief in free speech to which he's entitled no matter the the consequences of his logic or the incitement to harm that might result. Responsibility ends with what's said. 

 Nobody is up to the mark in Universities Hospitals,Police in any of our institutions because like the money lenders in the temple they have taken over and need to be thrown out.  Bolt really wants to make a Christ of himself but only makes a Trump of himself.  Not clearing the swamp  with anything new just repetition and the need to bring back Tony .

Goebells said it before him and Bolt listened if you have the platform and are given the space to say it often enough and loudly enough some people will believe you. In Bolt's case it's 10%. The only hope of increasing the numbers is to create division everywhere in the hope of collecting more followers Waleed Aly said quite the opposite without being overproduced he provides evidence of the most authoritative kind so more people listen. He doesn't need the Barnub and Bailey show you have with Bolt all show but no substance. You can find the proof in the next post.

 

RISE OF THE MONOVERSITY: HOW THE LEFT DESTROYED UNIVERSITIES

Paul Kelly on the rise of the monoversity, where the Left drives out dissent: "As late as the 1990s the left-right ratio in the [American] academy was only 2:1 but 15 years later there has been a “transformation” with the ratio now 5:1, with “almost everybody on the left”... The bias is much worse in the humanities." Much, much worse.

  To be a sceptic, to question what exists and is man made automatically makes you an "existential  threat". That is the essence of Bolt's argument yet he does the same. The questioning never ends no matter  whose in power what the politics are. It's why Universities  are progressive and only 2.5% of their population are book burners or regressive in mind. Right left or center isn't the essence of a critical thinker it's whether he's progressive or regressive that is the difference. In times of autocratic and despotic power free thinking is reigned in whereas in democracies it's encouraged and that encouragement Bolt deems to be essential but at the same time for him it's  a push to the left. Bolt is allowed to exist in our democracy but if Bolt Abbott and the conservatives were in power  criticism would be reigned in and replaced with the sound of cheering only.

 We saw it when Abbott came to power all areas of  Science were defunded , The Arts were defunded and controlled by Brandis , The ABC was defunded and attempted control took place. When that didn't work Abbott banned appearing on it, etc etc.  What was the purpose to make a more monoculture of Australia. Andrew Bolt actually wants not just universities to be a monoculture but the whole nation to be one assimilated to less critical thought the crux control the Humanities and Social Sciences and reign in Science.  He's simply flipping declaring diversity as the current too progressive leftist monoculture   to be shut down in favor of the regressive single minded conservative one where we all are all dressed in the same mental suits.

HOW DO ABC'S WALL-TO-WALL LEFTISTS SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST?

Tony Walker is The Age's newest columnist, meant to address its far-Left bias. But don't be fooled. Here he dismisses calls for the ABC to at least hire some presenters not of the Left: "As if inseminating the organisation with a few conservative talking heads would better serve the community interest." 

  Australia has never been a who do you vote for nation in fact  a fundamental of Australian Culture dictates it's was rude to bring religion or politics to the dinner table. CVs never broached the question because we are a democratic country and free to do what we want at the election box. Andrew Bolt wants that very essence changed. The character of what it means to be an Australian turned on it's head. Your religion and your politics are you defining qualities and can't be changed and needs to be taken into account which is the antithesis of any democracy and even more the opposite of an Australian one. 

The ABC serves us and is judged  by and independent body as to it's diversity and balance. One which Maurice Newman an outspoken conservative was head. In fact most ABC chairman were conservatives and appointed conservative CEOs. Michelle Guthrie comes from Murdoch Media and she certainly doesn't have Bolt's concerns as her priority. 

 

ABBOTT WARNS: TURNBULL MUST LIFT OR SHORTEN WILL WIN

Tony Abbott says is reported as saying that sacking Malcolm Turnbull would just help Bill Shorten. Not quite: "The best way to keep Shorten out is not to sack an elected prime minister yet again but to ensure that the government does its job better." But what if it can't? To help, Abbott gives Turnbull a to-do list.

  Posturing to show one hand  but hiding the other behind his back is what Tony Abbott renown for and his history abounds with those moves no matter the harm.  He destroyed Peter Slipper had Hanson jailed and turned friends into foes at the drop of a hat if it was advantageous to him. 
We have seen Abbott cycling "for charity" before and it did not make him anymore likeable or trustable then. He was sacked. Now we he's doing it again according to Bolt "a real Mench" no just a case of you can't teach an old dog new tricks.  He;s a one trick pony. In appearing to be loyal and seemingly  giving advice he's doing it in the media which tells us what? Abbott is chaffing at the bit to be leader again and is trying to flip the leadership of the Liberal Party  even if Shorten wins. Abbott wants to be the challenging loser . Bolt is cheering for him of course along with the usual suspects Quadrant, The Spectator, 2GB and the Cattallaxy Files better known as the IPA who had their agenda spelt out long ago and who Rupert Murdoch is a foundation member.

 

WHY VOTERS ARE FED UP: LIVING STANDARDS DON'T RISE

No wonder voters have had it with the main parties: "There has been no improvement in living standards since 2011, with record low wage increases only just matching the subdued rise in prices." That would make anyone cross - and worried.  

  The problem is that Protectionism and Australia First will do nothing for jobs the genie was let out of the bottle long ago and can't be forced back in. Multinationals will move to where labour is the cheapest and while they are doing that they are already investing in robotics to make it even cheaper. Corporations were able to mobilize far faster than labour and are ahead of the game where globalization is concerned. There are no globalized unions. Protectionism won't push prices down only up and because information is free Australians won't vote for a government that refuses them cheaper goods. Immigration is and has been a saving grace because Australia is a small business nation and the increase in small business start ups is by immigrants. They want workers they whereas Coles and Woolworths don't they want strategies to reduce them.  Shutting down is regressive Abbott's NBN or MXT shows just how regressive it is. Shutting down our Carbon Targets is another regressive act so regressive the Energy producers don't want it. The banks don't want it and Adani wants us to pay a $1billion for a dud idea with false hope. Yes voters are fed up because they simply see politicians no addressing problems other than those that concern themselves. A response to the legacy of Tony Abbott's politics.
 For the sake of our children and our planet, we must demand better

In 2012, former judge and anti-corruption campaigner, Tony Fitzgerald, wrote an article titled The body politic is rotten in which he espoused the view that “ethics, tolerance and civility are intrinsic elements of democratic society and that the politicians’ mutual contempt and aggressive, “end justifies the means” amorality erodes respect for authority and public institutions…

WHY SYRIA USED POISON GAS

Russia and conspiracy theorists insist the Syrian regime is being framed over the gas attack in Idlib province. Why would it use poison gas when it's winning? David Kilkullen says the answer is simple: it's not winning and is desperate.

 "Russia and conspiracy theorists insist the Syrian regime is being framed over the gas attack in Idlib province. Why would it use poison gas when it's winning? "Bolt

The link Bolt provides is a Paywall  what he provides from Kilkullen here in this post says nothing about any gas attack so suspiciously this is a Bolt red herring to get subscribers.

Evidence however is suggesting the US have committed  a lie to justify a move in a larger war globally. The Tomohawks didn't destroy the airfield so were the Americans that incompetent they spent $89 mill. MOAB killed 36 people for $24mill  and we are told yes told they were ISIS over $100 mill spent bythe worlds greatest force for what to suddenly try to escalate a war with Nth Korea with such force the rest of the world will stand back and do nothing that Kim Jong Un will retire hurt? Or is this all about American domestic politics and Trump handing himself over to the War Party Republicans to boost him in the flagging polls. Why would Syria use poison gas if they are winning? Why would they wish to have even greater attention focussed on them globally than they have now. Did they want to influence the Turkish election and have their opponent in the area Erdogan  be given decree powers? I don't think so. The only strategy that makes sense and is hidden in plain sight by the likes of Bolt and Newscorp globally is that it was all scripted in the war room of the White House while Trump played golf.
