What children know but Andrew Bolt denies
*UBUNTU* - A very nice story from Africa ...
An Anthropologist is a person who studies humans & their beliefs and relationships.
Once an Anthropologist proposed a game to the African tribal children ...
He placed a basket of sweets near a tree
And made the children stand 100 metres away.
Then announced that whoever reaches first would get all the sweets in the basket.
When he said 'ready steady go!' ...
Do you know what these children did?
They all held each other's hands, ran together towards the tree, divided the sweets equally among themselves, ate the sweets and enjoyed it.
When the Anthropologist asked them why they did so,
They answered 'Ubuntu'.
Which meant -
_'How can one be happy when the others are sad?'_
Ubuntu in their language means -
_"I am" , because, "we are"!_
A strong message for all generations.
Let's have an *_Ubuntu_* Life ...
*I AM... BECAUSE WE ARE*









 


 Boycott Bolt and bring sanity back to media. Proof that he's vulnerable to a  boycott of News Corp advertisers was Fox News where  even the top dogs get the sack Ailes and O'Reilly have been shown the door despite the fact Rupert wanted them to stay. The profit margin and bottom line says all and the loss of advertisers would have Andrew Bolt go the same way. 
Westpac will stay why because it has  the moral majority on side but it has also invested in the most economic and positive position. It's the most rational no matter the ideology. Clean energy employs more people than the whole fossil fuel industries  coal, oil and gas put together and it is growing at a faster rate. No private sector investors are investing in the Adani mine.  Bolt seems to think it is a sure  to make investors a profit but he certainly doesn't invest in it . If actuarial data, science economics and rational analysis haven't a positive outlook on coal so why should Westpac?  So Boycott Bolt's and News Corp's major advertisers and yes a change is possible even in a business that's content to hemorrhaging money. Their financial backers aren't.


 PAULINE SAYS NO TO CORY

HANSON: CUT FUNDING FOR THE ABC

Pauline Hanson calls for the ABC's funding to be cut. Unfortunately, she's not backing One Nation Senator Brian Burston's threat to block other savings unless the ABC is cut, too.
  News Corp's priority in the USA , UK and Australia is to get greater control of MSM. Their means is not commercial competition but political skullduggery and interference wherever their is opportunity. If you can control the political decisions you can gain control of the commercial space. News Corp supports the right wing parties, the major business associations who as political donors  influence particular politicians and parties who  scratch News Corp's back. In Australia that's demanding the cuts for the ABC and Turnbull is not their man as he and Rupert have a history dating back to the days when Rupert and the Packers were at war. Turnbull wasn't on Murdoch's side. Andrew Bolt is the window through which  News Corp's tactics are self evident  when he  cheers and supports the hardest opts for the politician with the hardest anti ABC line. Murdoch wants the media news space occupied by the national broadcaster for his global control of English speaking news. The BBC and the ABC interfere with that politically powerful ambition.
      "Unfortunately, she's not backing One Nation Senator Brian Burston's threat to block other savings unless the ABC is cut, too." Bolt
 
It seems Bolt had Pauline Hanson on his show just to stitch her up for Tony by using her as a woman for his own entertainment and amusement. What will eventually occur and it's beginning to happen because time is running out is seeing  Tony Abbott trying to steal  the Hanson policies. He  did it 20 years ago and Abbott's an old dog with no new tricks so he will try to do it again as the year rolls on.  Abbott hasn't given up his effort to take over the Liberal Party once again and News Corp hasn't stopped backing him. Because this time he will have promised Murdoch the ABC on a platter.
 Proof Bolt's next post... How predictable is he?

WILL TURNBULL FIX THE ABC?

Malcolm Turnbull appointed as ABC chairman a mate who thinks the ABC is not biased and needs no fixing. National leader Barnaby Joyce disagrees:"There are a lot of people, to be quite frank, out there who believe the ABC goes too far to the left." So what will the government do to fix this?


"Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had appointed as ABC chairman a mate who thinks the ABC is not biased and needs no fixing. "Bolt
Who doe Bolt turn to Barnaby Joyce "
"Why does the ABC need four national TV channels, in direct competition to struggling commercial TV stations?"Bolt
" Why does the ABC need an on-line news site in direct competition to commercial newspapers, particularly Fairfax?" Bolt
Bolt even disguises the fact that it's News Corp not Fairfax that is the biggest complainant here. The fact is in the history of media in this country the ABC was the only national communicator providing services that News Corp will never do or even wants to do.
Bolt goes as far as to demand a change in Australian core democratic values that all public servants be required to declare their voting intentions before being offered a job in any public institution and no doubt their spiritual position too. Some how he denies the principle of the privacy of ones vote Isn't that the core of Fascism as Mussolini presented it. The marriage of the state and conservative powers? It's the direct opposite of what Bolt claims to represent the "freedom of individuals to chose" except in matters of control.
"The state-funded ABC's influence grows as the commercial sector fragments. This is dangerous for a pluralistic democracy, and the longer the Liberals and Nationals lets this go on, the harder it will become to reform the ABC. The ABC will be simply too big to offend."
The technological revolution has changed the way media is delivered not politics it remains a fact that News Corp only wants to dismantle those aspects of the ABC that will increase not just their economic influence but their political influence and that being news and information and transform it to commentary and opinion the model of Fox News USA. It's why 85% of Australians trust the ABC and some 40% trust the integrity of News Corp . It's those figures Bolt keeps buried. In the face of Andrew Bolt's print The Bolt Report pretends to be balanced however true balance and debate looks radical when it's compared with Sky or 2GB.
Example the attack this week on Yamine Abdel -Mageid  was Bolts attack on the ABC dictating the ABC was anti- Anzacs. Yet it was the ABC that devoted some 6 hours if not more of programing to the Anzac day ceremonies. Bolt fails to mention that fact and what did News Corp  offer? A haranguing and Xenophobic barrage  of abuse against those not in support of his and Abbott's  abstract Team Australia. The picture of a divided country.
Thank you ABC for the balance

BILLIONS LOST ON DEBT-DODGING STUDENTS



Debt is is today's manufactured product the essence of Capitalism but jobs are running out and unemployment and underemployment is increasing. There was  a time if you were sold a faulty product you could return it and get your money back now "we will repair it". In fact we still have the ACCC. Peter Foster was jailed for selling false products and Pyramid schemes made illegal . However not so todays education system that sells the false carrot of a job at the end with it's pot of gold. Sold  by telling you that without an education your opportunities are limited. Well Andrew Bolt certainly would have been a debt dodging student if he made to pay what it cost not to have him educated in Adelaide. Today he professes to have been educated at Adelaide University without the (failed) in brackets after it. It seems you can go to Adelaide Uni read a book for a day and say you were taught there.  Bolt did that and we paid. His jobs and career were in no way reliant on his education but more so on who he knew.
The government disaster was the closing down of trade schools and apprenticeships the creation of semi- privatized education and debt. Semi privatizing tertiary education is a compromise when they really want to fully privatize it and create debt factories which is the American model that's currently collapsing.  They are now selling  false product which can't be returned. Bolt even wants to give away critical thinking and replace it with compulsory ideological training. Who you know rather than what you know has always been the foundation of capitalism what school you went to and who you married and it is more so today. You can get a double degree in Law/ Arts but you need to know someone to become articled to before you can become admitted to the bar. Why is it there is an abundance of Asians and Muslims with degrees but working in areas they haven't been trained for cab drivers hospital cleaners they can't get their money back?
How is it we are one of the most expensive degree factories in the world. Slovenia, Norway, Cuba and other countries know what it means to  invest in their youth where even today education is free in English and even for foreign students. So much so that foreign students from the US and I'm sure even Australia are going there today to study the sciences.
When globalization truley arrives will our professional associations  be able to protect the financial interests of their members by locking out. People with degrees from other universities like famous heart surgeons who can't practice here unless they re sit exams intended to lock them out? The war is over and associations cant' protect themselves from fraudulent papers and identity theft.
Bolt as usual doesn't focus on the systemic fault of the education system itself  but he focuses on only a part  debt avoidance among the weakest and then blaming them for failing the system. Basically he  is saying they are  staying poor hiding income and scamming the system.
Banks do the same  they are in the business of debt they are happy to give dogs and cats credit at 20% knowing they are an accounted for loss in the interest rate charged. We all know if the banks can't manage debt the socialist solution is call on the government  to bail them out.  Thus saving the asses of the richest and biggest debtors in the community. Those who are the poorest pay by losing not just some savings but their jobs homes marriages  and families and a blamed for their condition because they never saved in the first place. 40% of the American population live below the poverty line because of the GFC and Wall st is booming.
Remember when conservatives hailed the nuclear family as the best financial social unit to bring about success. Well Bolt will soon be arguing the extended family is the best and then the extended community of the homeless because of the un-affordability of housing and under employment of the population. Who Bolt from his priviliged position calls scammers. A house with grandparents, parents, and 4 kids will be welcome to apply for $200k -$300k debt to get and education and a job not in the field trained for but in hospitality that pays $30,000K and Bolt calls them scammers. His sons first job the IPA yes it's who you know not what you know that's the education  Bolt married it as his career path Sally didn't marry Andrew for his connections.

GOOD DEBT IS $5 BILLION FOR A RISKY AIRPORT

What the Turnbull Government calls "good debt": "Sydney Airport’s decision to decline an offer to run a second airport at Badgerys Creek clears the way for the government to build the $5 billion dollar project. Sydney Airport said ... “the risks associated with the development and operation of WSA are considerable and endure for many decades". 
  No Sydney airport know it's in a better position to let others do the heavy lifting while it can raise it's costs in the short term should the option arise down the line in the long term it might be considered. The decision is not based on need but greed. The $5 bill spent on ansecond Airport for Sydney one of the worlds busiest air ports is not for a shrinking violet like coal so yes it's a reasonable move.

TRUMP OFFERS TO MEET DUTERTE, KIM JONG-UN AND TURNBULL

Donald Trump has already met the leaders of Britain, China, Japan, Germany, Egypt, Mexico, Canada, Israel, Italy, Argentina, Peru, Denmark, Ireland and Jordan. Now he's onto the next tier. He's invited the Philippines' brutal Rodrigo Duterte, says he'd be "honored" to meet North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and this week meets Malcolm Turnbull.
2 M Bolt the ass-licker knows what it means to suck up to the right crowd we know that. He even declares the tiers that separate nations and it goes to show just what he thinks of Australia. Not much at all. However if you are extremely close friend you need to meet those that aren't first and those that you yourself have financial interests in. Have we heard Trump ever mention Abbott the statesman that turned up in disguise at the Alfalfa Club with Rupert and a photographer?

LATHAM: A SHORTEN GOVERNMENT WOULD BE WORSE THAN GILLARD'S

Mark Latham on Bill Shorten: "He will lead a Labor government worse than Rudd and Gillard. On economic policy, Shorten has given up on growing private sector incomes through productivity reform. In the culture wars, ... instead of treating people on merit, the ALP now judges social issues by skin colour, gender, sexuality and religion."

 A lessoned learned of ex politicians who claim they do the work out of principle. Latham is the horse called self interest and operates from the same stable as Andrew Bolt.
 
ABC HOST ADMITS: ABC HIRED YASSMIN FOR BEING MUSLIM

ABC HOST ADMITS: ABC HIRED YASSMIN FOR BEING MUSLIM

ABC Media Watch host Paul Barry says Yassmin Abdel-Magied's Anzac Day post was "tactless", but this was his most interesting concession: "Abdel-Magied presents a round-up of ABC news on Saturday morning.  She’s also appeared as a guest on Q&A and The Drum. And she partly owes those roles to being Muslim, black and a woman." Your racist ABC.

  Of course they did they also hired Andrew Bolt on the Insiders a even a one hour opportunity to make a fool of himself in front of New Zealand's ex Conservative PM he was partly offered the roles for being a white male conservative racist whose views clashed with the majority of others all the time. That's what the ABC does provides balance where Bolt doesn't and says he doesn't have to. but it then makes the ABC look left wing when they stand in comparison to Andrew Bolt. But then the whole country does. In Yasmine we see Australia.

WHY ARE OUR UNIVERSITIES HOME TO EXTREMISTS LIKE ANTONOPOULOS?

Paul Antonopoulos has been a lecturer at Charles Sturt University. Now he's been dumped as deputy editor of a pro-Syrian regime news site for calling Arabs “sand niggers”, blacks “negro trash” and Asians “gooks”. And this: "Let the immigrants in other states kill each other, overdose, rape each other etc etc. Don't get me started on the Jews!"    

  Celebrating the slaying of Paul by the advocate of free speech consequences aren't an issue for Bolt. This post is little more than an exercise in misinformation. If informative in any way it says Bolt is able to disparage others from his elitist platform.
 

 

TERRORIST HAMAS CLAIMS IT'S NOW MORE MODERATE

Image result for Images Palestinian deaths
Hamas, the Islamist group which runs the Gaza Strip, has watered down its anti-Semitic language to appear more moderate. But there's still no pledge to let Israel exist or to give up terrorism. But the Hamas charter remains, and if you read it you will realise that Hamas has a bat-crazy Jew-hatred that makes its latest spin unbelievable.




 Bolt has been given a script by his pro Israel handlers he writes the minimal and cut and pastes the maximum. Terror by Hamas must terror with a feather. Bolt han never offered to reveal the body count of Palestinians dead or injured the number of children deaths the number of prisoners held without charge the buildings destroyed and the land occupied. He doesn't mention the use of chemicals by Israel. Nor the number of Jews that feel like Antonopoulos and are shamed by the state of Israel for their creation of the Ghetto of Gaza. Do the body count Bolt do the body count and point to the terrorists if you can. Guess which of these human rights Israel guarantees to Palestinians | +972 Magazine

TICK, TICK, TICK: TURNBULL HEADED FOR QUEENSLAND DISASTER

Another devastating poll for the Turnbull Government: "Queenslanders would purge at least seven Federal Coalition MPs from office – including senior Cabinet ­minister Peter Dutton – to deliver Bill Shorten a decisive and devastating election win." The Liberals would lose Capricornia, Forde, Flynn, Dickson, Petrie, Dawson and Bonner.
  Yet another plea to bring Tony Abbott back like Caesar. Don't for one minute the plan is locked in place and with the power of News Corp behind it.

Armando Iannucci on Q&A finds a new excuse for the comedians who refuse to mock Islam: “I think there is always a danger that if you are tempting to write about a faith that is not yours then you get it wrong." Does "get it wrong" actually mean "get you killed"?
  Guess Bolt will tell us Islam killed Robin Williams. What a twat Bolt is

FACEBOOK ALLOWS JEW-HATRED

What frightens me is that Facebook may be right: "A Jewish schoolgirl who complained to Facebook after being subjected to sexually violent anti-Semitic abuse was told the comments did not violate the company’s community standards." Those community standards - at least among the internet and even academic Left - have become very troubling. 
  Guess these days one ought consider the consequences of Israels actions to it's non Jewish citizens. Bolt always conflates Israel the Democratic State with Jews . However not all Jews love Israel they are increasingly ashamed of it. Facebook encourages what Bolt is criticizing.




 
TRUMP: "YOU MAKE A MISTAKE HERE, THERE IS NOTHING TO WORK OUT"


TRUMP: "YOU MAKE A MISTAKE HERE, THERE IS NOTHING TO WORK OUT"








The Washington examiner " Bolt's linked post
"When it came to the editorial page, Anschutz's instructions were explicit—he 'wanted nothing but conservative columns and conservative op-ed writers,' said one former employee."Bolt
His other link the IPA's Catallaxy Files you couldn't get two more right wing opinions puffing up The Donald who Bolt claims is an intuitive genius who in his first 100 days could find the time to play golf 20% of the time and not attend any security briefings on a daily basis as previous presidents did. Trump actually said he  left the daily decisions up to his team and doesn't even read the Executive Orders he signed.
As for the Tomahawks they didn't take out the airfield it was in operation 2 days later and it was $89 mill fireworks display to raise his standings in the polls that have been the worst of any president in the modern era. Ye Bolt is just blowing up a dummy.
